“Wike’s Quest For Power Will Destroy PDP In Rivers State”-NDRO




The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has told the National Leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP that the desperation for power by the Hon. Minister of State Barr. Nyesom Wike will destroy the Party in Rivers state if not checked. The group said the party must act fast to checkmate the violence which the camp of the minister is unleashing on party faithful in the state.
The statement signed by the Director of mobilization NDRO Rivers Chapter, Com. Israel Obodo said Rivers State has overgrown the politics of violence which the camp of the minister is plunging the party into as evident in the show of shame at Legacy House, Abuja. The group said Rivers people are highly respected in the country as gentlemen and wondered why the quest for power by an individual should hold the state to ransom. The group said “it is regrettable that other states came and concluded their reconciliation exercise peacefully while Rivers State which should have been in the forefront of setting a good example as a leading South South state ended up embarrassing the state and giving room for the All Progressive Congress APC in the state to make mockery of our great party”
The group said the coming primaries of the PDP should not be seen as a do or die affair. It said Wike’s camp must come off the assumption that anybody against his ambition is automatically an opposition member or traitor. The organization said Wike should be grateful because as the highest beneficiary of the party in the state he holds it as a duty to see that the party does not disintegrate due to his overbearing hunger for power.
The group commended the National Leadership of the PDP over its directive to state party chairmen warning against undue favouritism to a particular candidate. The group describes the statement as a welcome development considering the way and manner the PDP Executives in the state have glaringly shown their prejudice towards Wike. “It is unfortunate that the party leadership in Rivers State has shown glaring favouritism to Barr Nyesom  Wike in an election where all aspirants should be given a level playing ground as directed by the National leadership of the party. This is why the directive is welcome and commendable” the group said.
The NDRO also expressed its confidence in President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s Transformation agenda as a road map to sustainable development in the country. It also pledged its loyalty to the PDP while  stressing that it will never go back on its stance for a riverine governor in Rivers state come 2015.

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...
