Frontline Peoples Democratic Party PDP stalwart in Rivers State Chief Barrister Dumo Lulu Briggs has restated his commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party in Rivers state. Chief Lulu Briggs contested the Rivers state governorship election under the PDP which eventually went to Chief Nyesom Wike a former federal minister.

Chief Dumo Lulu Briggs made this pronouncement after a stakeholders meeting he held with members of his campaign organisation, coordinators of the various LGAs as well as other stakeholders involved in his campaign train.

The meeting which witnessed a large turnout of his supporters saw clarion calls by most of the people that made speech urging him not to relent in his support for the party especially now that they need him most. Speakers that contributed at the parley said it was imperative that he does not abandon the party at this time of need. Speaker after speaker while praising his leadership qualities said Dumo Lulu Briggs will be setting a good example to his followers by sticking to the party despite its failure to win the Presidential election of March 28^th.

Reacting to the position of majority of those who spoke at the meeting, Chief Dumo Lulu Briggs said it was not in his character to leave a man when he is down. He said the fact that President Jonathan did not win the Presidential election does not mean that Rivers people should jump ship. He said it was imperative that Rivers people express their love for Mr. President by sticking to the Peoples Democratic Party and ensuring that it emerges victorious come April 11^th 2015.

Chief Dumo Lulu Briggs said the events that occurred during the days of the primaries should be a lesson for all followers of the party stressing that all what led to the injustice during the primaries can best be tackled under the PDP and not the APC. “if I was thinking about my personal position I would have been in the APC considering the pressures I have received and the perceived injustice I got but been there wouldn’t have given me the opportunity to bring about the change my supporters need… this is not the basis of my being their leader” he posited.

He advised his followers to remain steadfast stating that “ Our dream to be in Government House is not dead but alive”

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...
