The Youth Say Yes Initiative For Change YSYIC has kicked against plans to blackmail the Senate President Sen. Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara.
The group in a press statement made available to newsmen in Abuja and signed by its National Coordinator Comrade Nwokoma Messiah said there is an orchestrated plan by elements in the All Progressives Congress APC to blackmail the leadership of both Arms of the National Assembly.
The group said it was reacting to the publication in the Nation Newspapers titled “How Oil Barons, Others Hijacked Senate, House Elections” the story alleged that the emergence of Saraki and Dogara was through the sponsorship of oil marketers and corrupt politicians who have corrupt deeds to hide.
The group said the publication was laughable and misleading because it shows the desperation by the sponsors of such story. The group warned that the APC as a party which promised change must be seen to be playing progressive politics and not politics of retrogression as played by those against the emergence of Saraki and Dogara.
The group described the duo as credible leaders whose credibility led to their nomination as flag bearers of the party at the last general elections. It wondered why the credibility of these same persons will now be questioned just because they defeated the anointed candidates of the party. “this is an ugly development that must be condemned by all lovers of democracy and Mr. President must call such desperate politicians to order because he remains the defacto leader of the party” the group said.
The Youth Say Yes Initiative For Change praised President Buhari’s stance on the leadership issue in the National Assembly while urging those aggrieved to come to terms with reality instead of looking for ways to rock the boat due to selfish reasons. “It is imperative that those fighting Saraki and Dogara must wake up to the reality on ground by accepting the fact that they cannot always win. Employing blackmail to tarnish their image will not do the party any good” the statement added.

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...
