Group Accuses APC Presidential Hopefuls Of Masterminding Kaduna Bomb Blast

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has accused Presidential hopefuls of the opposition All Peoples Congress of masterminding the Kaduna bomb blast that attempted to take the life of the of Gen. Muhammed Buhari. The group said the APC which is known to be sympathetic to terrorism in the country instigated the attack and also wanted to use it to blackmail the Presidency and also score cheap political scores all in its evil bid to win sympathy ahead of the 2015 polls.

In a press statement made available to newsmen and signed by its national coordinator Comrade Nwokoma Messiah, the group said the ruling People’s Democratic Party PDP has never been afraid of Buhari in any way and wouldn’t have done anything to snuff out his life but the APC as well as its Presidential hopefuls, have become afraid of Buhari’s emergence as its presidential flag bearer something they never wanted to give him from the inception of the party in the word go. The statement said that being aware of the fact that rejecting Buhari during its primaries will not go down well with him, the party as well as its presidential hopefuls felt the best way to get rid of him was to assassinate him and put the blame on the Goodluck Jonathan led Federal Government.

The group said it was unfortunate that the APC will come out through its National Publicity Secretary Lai Mohammed who is a serial liar to call on Mr. President to unveil the people behind the attempted assassination of Buhari when it is aware of those behind it.

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation also accused the APC of trying to blackmail the presidency in order to gain sympathy from Nigerians warning them that the presidency as an institution must be respected no matter their evil quest for power. The group said what the APC is doing is inimical to the growth of Nigerian democracy and must be condemned by all well meaning Nigerians. ‘’the evil propaganda of the APC must be condemned and the security agents must act fast to stop this grand conspiracy of the APC which we believe is treasonable in the first instance” the statement added.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body. As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...

Rivers Governmnet, PDP Disagree Over $280 million Looan

The Rivers State Government and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state are currently at loggerheads over the request by the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, for a $280m loan for water and sanitation projects. While the state PDP said that the latest request for loan by the state government was unnecessary due to the resources accruing to the state through the federal allocation and internally generated revenue, the government said it was not true that the funds were to be used for 2015 elections. The state House of Assembly had on Monday endorsed Amaechi’s request for loan for water supply and sanitation projects. But the state PDP, in a statement, signed by the Special Adviser to its Chairman, Mr. Jerry Needam, said the request for loan was aimed at punishing the governor’s successor in 2015. The party called on members of the House of Assembly, the Federal Ministry of Finance, the African Development Bank and the World Bank not to honour the loan re...

2019: Northern youths kick as Northwest APC lawmakers endorse Buhari

The leadership of the Arewa Youth Forum on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari does not deserve any endorsement for the 2019 presidency. Reacting to a purported endorsement by some serving All Progressives Congress’s lawmakers from the Northwest in Kaduna, the AYF’s National President, Alhaji Gambo Gujungu, said Buhari was not fit to return as president in 2019. The AYF argued that with the killing spree all over the country, especially in the North, Buhari should serve his mandatory four years term and quit the stage for another Northerner. Gujungu noted that one sour point about President Buhari’s 2019 ambition was his claim that the killings across the country were being carried out by “desperate politicians”, yet he had not arrested even a single suspect. The AYF president, therefore, said Nigerians should blame the president for the attacks on innocent citizens. The AYF boss who spoke to our correspondent on phone on Monday, said the President’s cl...
