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.

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...
