Niger Delta Group Describes Coalition Against Buahri As Dead On Arrival... Wants APC Chairman To Revisit Rivers Congresses



The Niger Delta Progressives Group (NDPG) has described the Coalition Of United Political Parties (CUPP) that was recently formed by over 30 political as a venture that will fail. The group in a press statement in reaction to the formation of the coalition said Nigerians will not go back to their regurgitation. It described those behind the coalition as failed politicians who actively took part in the heist that befell the country in the last 16 years of misrule.

The statement which was signed by the National Publicity secretary of the group Comrade Benjamin Etuk urged Nigerians to be calm and not be fooled by desperate politicians that mean bad for the country. ''President Buhari is doing great to make this country better after the rot that the PDP brought to governance. It is a shame that after apologising to Nigerians for the crime they committed against the country they want to come back to power through the back door by forming a coalition of strange bed fellows. Nigerians are wiser and know that the proponents of the coalition are the ones that brought untold sufferings to Nigerians''

The group said the people of the Niger Delta region who suffered so much venality even with their son as President are happy with the way and manner the President has addressed the issues of governance in the country. The group said it will support the President to enable him win the 2019 elections and disgrace the evil politicians fighting him. They are fighting the President for their selfish aim and not for the good of the country.

The group urged President Buhari to remain steadfast and focus on moving the country forward. ''No amount of distraction from the coalition of political prostitutes should make our President lose focus in his bid to move the country forward. he has the support of the generality of the country and this support is evident in the rising support he is gathering every passing day. No matter how those behind the plot to remove the President may think they are, they will surely be defeated by the popular will of the Nigerian masses'' the group said.

The Niger Delta Progressives Group also called on the Chairman of the All Progressives Congress to ensure that the party is made stronger in the South South through the application of the principle of justice and respect for rule of law. It said the chances of victory for the party will be made stronger when impunity is totally expunged by the party. It called on the party to respect the judgment of the court in Port Harcourt which nullified the ward and local government congresses in Rivers State. ''what happened in Rivers state should not be allowed to stand if we really believe in democracy. Comrade Oshiomhole should please do something about it. We have confidence that both Mr. President and Comrade Adams will not allow the impunity that was witnessed at the ward and LGA congresses to stand'' it said.

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...
