“You Can Not Disenfranchise Agba” Group Tells Cross River PDP.




The Niger Delta Renaissance Organization NDRO has condemned the purported suspension of a front line governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party PDP in Cross River state Prince Godwin Jedi Agba as well as other party faithful in the state by the Chairman of the stat chapter of the party Mr. John Okon. The group after an emergency National Executive Council NEC meeting in Calabar the Cross River state chapter, said the suspension was a tactical but mischievous way of disenfranchising the governorship aspirant who has sacrificed so much for the party in the state in particular and the country in general.
The communiqué which was signed by the National Coordinator of the organisation Comrade Nwokoma Messiah as well as other executive members of the organization including the National Secretary, Comrade Barr. Kingsley Frank, National Director of Moblisation Benjamin Etuk as well as the Cross River state Coordinator Ndifon Emmanuel, said the purported suspension is unacceptable to the generality of people of Cross River state who are desirous of seeing Godwin Jedi Agba as its next governor come 2015.
The NDRO advised the Cross River state chapter of the party to rescind its stance describing it as “gross violation of human rights and a calculated attempt by people who are afraid of his profile as a front line aspirant of the party in the coming primaries. The group described the reason for his suspension by the state party chairman as baseless and of no significance as far as the party guidelines for the coming primaries is concerned. The group described the state Executive Councils’ decision to carry out the suspension of party faithful in the state who have put in so much resource in repositioning the party for greatness in the state as anti party in its entirety.
The group said the suspension is highly condemnable and runs contrary to justice, and good conscience especially coming on the heels of the upcoming party primaries. The statement went further to state that “how can the state chapter of the party make a unilateral suspension order on people who are assets to the party without adhering to due process and fair hearing” the group said the suspension remains questionable especially now that he has submitted his expression of interest form and is prepared to face his opponents in the primaries.
While expressing their loyalty to the Party and Dr. Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, the group said it will do all it can to ensure that the opposition does not make any in road in the Niger Delta region. It however, advised the National leadership of the party to do the needful by reversing the purported unconstitutional suspension.

Sen. Magnus Abe's Courageous Fight For Rivers Brick House

Ab e' Today Rivers people especially majority of faithful of the All Progressives Congress APC defied the heavy down pour in Port Harcourt to show solidarity for Sen. Magnus Abe and the direct primaries in the state which has been kicked against by the Rotimi Amaechi faction of the party in the state. This support which was massive and highly successful  buttressed the position of the over 148,000 people that caste  their votes on the direct primaries which held in the state on the 30th of September 2018. Rivers people on that   fateful day showed that they wanted the right man for the job in defiance of the foisting of an unknown candidate chosen from the blues to fly the flag of the party. The solidarity which the people of the state and APC members showed for the Ogoni born Senator has to be respected by the party unlike what is happening today where the party seems to be favouring the emergence of Tonye Cole all in the bid to please the former governor of t...
