Niger Delta Youths Condemn rAPC... Urge Party To Expel Proponents


A group known as the Niger Delta Progressives Group For Buhari (NDPGB) has condemned the formation of the reformed All Progressives Congress also known as rAPC. The group described the formation of the group as an affront on the leadership of the party which should not be allowed to stand.
The group through its national  Publicity Secretary Etuk Benjamin described those behind the rAPC as enemies of not only the party but the country in general. The group asked the proponents of the move to retrace their steps or receive serious backlash from the Nigerian masses.

The statement wondered why the Galadima group should choose this time to come up with such mischief when the party just elected its Chairman Comrade Adams Oshiomhole who has promised to address the grievances of all the party members. Describing their call as not been carried along by the Buhari administration as selfish, childish and retrogressive, the group said those behind the rAPC have benefitted more than any of the group that came together to form the All Progressives Congress in 2013 and as such, should be grateful for what they have got.

''We have a situation whereby they have the Senate President of the federation for themselves as well as the Speaker of the House, various state governors, Senators, members of the House of representatives, ministers etc. Which group that was part of the formation of the APC can boast of such positions and yet they say they are not been carried along. It is the worse lie in our political history'' the statement stated.

The group urged the president of the federation Muhammadu Buhari not to lose sleep on the matter stressing that the generality of Nigerians are backing him and will give him their support despite the resort to mendacity by a disgruntled few that lack political goodwill. While urging the Senate Presiednt, Speaker of the House of Representatives as well as others in position that are backing the rAPC not to be deceived by the position they hold today the statement added that ''You can see the rising support which Mr. President is garnering by the day. The south east recently showed their support and the South South will soon do same. He is gaining credence in areas where he didn't have support before and if the rAPC and others think they can dislodge him because they have some persons in positions today, then they are really making a grave mistake''.

The group hailed Sen. Abu Ibrahim Chairman of  Board of Trustees of  Buhari Support Groups as well as executives of various groups rooting for the President's re-election bid stressing that it is the kind of support and reach out they have shown that has helped raise the President's acceptability by the Nigerian masses. ''Sen. Abu Ibrahim is doing so much for the re-election project. We seriously appreciate his fatherly disposition to the various groups supporting Mr. President and it is important we all continue to give him all the cooperation he needs in order to help the realisation of the re-election project despite the ranting of some disgruntled elements'' 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...

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...
