2019: ‘’Be Vigilant NDRO Tells Rivers People’’

The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has urged the people of Rivers State to be vigilant of the plans of the ruling All Progressives Congress APC in connivance with the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC as well as security agencies to conduct the governorship elections on a separate date in order to massively rig it for the APC.

The Assembly which expressed optimism that such evil plan against the people will not work, said the people of the state should however remain vigilant and eschew all forms of violence as the days of the electioneering period draws closer.

The statement which was signed by the Director of Publicity of the organisation Comrade Tekenah James said ‘’the All Progressives Congress APC knows it cannot win elections in the state in a free and fair atmosphere so it has resorted to engaging in mischievous plans that will make them lay claim to the Rivers State government House. Rivers people should never fall for the bubby trap of the APC, INEC and security agencies who intend to give a false situation of insecurity in the state as a ploy to shifting the state’s governorship election next year. Hey intend to garner security units all over the country into Rivers state to intimidate the people when the time comes. Rivers people should be vigilant please’’ the statement said.

The organisation accused the governor of Imo State Chief RochasOkorocha of being part of the plan. ‘’they intend to use Imo state as a launch pad for their evil plans that is why they granted amnesty to people that have been declared wanted by the Rivers state government.

The NDRO while thanking the governor of Rivers state Chief Nyesom Wike for the efforts he has put in place to ensuring the security of the state, reiterated that the people of the state should not give room for plans of retrogressive politicians who do not have the people at heart.

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...
