The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation NDRO has commended the decision of Chief Dumo Lulu Briggs to remain with the Peoples Democratic Party PDP despite the events of March 28th. The group in a press statement while reacting to news of the decision said the stance of the PDP stalwart is encouraging and goes a long way to show his political maturity.

The press statement which was signed by its National Coordinator Comrade Nwokoma Messiah said by such stance, all support groups that have been with Dumo Lulu Briggs can now mobilize its members to vote en masse for the PDP in the coming April 11^th Governorship and House of Assembly elections.

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation said it was disheartened by the fact that sons of the Niger Delta worked against the reemergence of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan as president and said it will be wrong for people of the state to vote such betrayers of the collective will of our people into power. The group condemned the stance of the All Progressive Congress APC in the state in their campaigns which urged Rivers people to vote for the party at the center. The group said such call was deceitful stressing that” it was this same people who took our state to an opposition party when our brother was in charge at the affairs of the country that now wants us to go back to the mainstream after betraying our brother out of power…such call as much as it is deceitful, is also the highest display of mischief” it said.

The group while congratulating General Buhari (rtd) over his victory at the polls, said Rivers state will be better off even without a member of his party at the helm of affairs in the state.

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation urged all Rivers people to ensure the victory of the party in the state by voting for the PDP. It said this call was not only to Rivers people alone but to all Niger Delta people as well as South Easterners who have been betrayed by the pattern of votes cast. “We cannot get our due in the Nigerian political conflagration by taking the option of band wagonning to the APC which just secured victory at the Presidential polls of March 28^th. We can only get our fair share by sticking to the PDP despite all odds” 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...
