APC Using Foreign Interests To Distabilise Nigeria- NDRO

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has accused the All Progressive Congress APC of using foreign interests to distabilise the country. The group said it is regrettable that the party in its inordinate bid to wrestle power from the ruling People’s Democratic Party PDP has resorted to using countries that are not comfortable with Nigeria’s rising profile in the continent to distabilise the country’s fight against insurgency.

The group in a press statement signed by its National Coordinator Comrade Nwokoma Messiah accused the South African President of trying to appease his friend Atiku Abubakar who is a presidential aspirant under the All Progressive Congress APC. The statement said it is appalling that the South African government failed to use all diplomatic channels to resolve the issue considering the fact that the issue has strong implications in the country’s fight against terrorism.

The NDRO cautioned Nigerians to beware of the APC which it said was working against the interest of Nigeria. “What has the APC said when Nigerians are being maltreated daily by South Africans. This administration is the only administration that has tackled the maltreatment of Nigerians by South Africans” the group said.

The statement said the group will mobilise Nigerians against South African economic interests in the county if the South African government fails to stop the embarrassment of the Federal Government. It said it will continue to support the federal government’s fight against terrorism stressing that any party that is seen to be sympathetic to terrorist groups in the country must be rejected come 2015.

It will be recalled that the South African government recently seized 5.7 million dollars meant for arms purchase against Boko Haram terrorists. The South African Government had earlier seized 9.3 million dollars which was been transported in the Private jet of Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor the President of the Christian Association of Nigerian CAN.

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...
