2018 PDP PRIMARIES: CIVIL SOCIETY COALITION OF NIGERIA (CSCON) UNANIMOUSLY CONGRATULATES DISTIGUISHED SENATOR PHILIP TANIMU ADUDA ON PDP SENATORIAL PRIMARIES VICTORY




A coalition of civil society groups, non-governmental organizations, public
policy think tanks, professional associations and social affairs commentators have overwhelmingly congratulated Distinguished Senator Philip Tanimu Aduda for his outstanding victory in the 2018 Peoples Democratic Party primaries and by the special grace of Almighty God in the 2019 general elections on account of his 'outstanding performance, unparalleled legislative acumen, unassailable technocratic competence and unrivaled advocacy for the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness of his, FCT Senatorial zone and Nigerians in general’.

The Coalition of Civil Society Organizations (CSCON) comprising of the
Citizens for Accountable Government, People United to Save Humanity,
Transparent Governance Initiative, Coalition Against Corrupt Practices, Abuja Peace Coalition, Democracy Now Agenda, Abuja Youth Initiative, Abuja Market Women’s Union, Abuja Professionals Agenda, Abuja Progressive Association, Abuja Peoples Forum, Citizens for a Democratic Society, Gender Rights Initiative amongst others declared that Senator Philip Aduda is ‘the right leader to be re-nominated and re-elected as a Distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria representing Abuja North Senatorial Zone in the forthcoming 9” National Assembly as he has delivered crucial dividends of democracy to his beloved people in the critical arenas of health, education, roads, power, rural infrastructure, agriculture, water borehole, manpower development and women and youth empowerment during his precedent shattering tenure in the 8th Senate (2015 - 2019).

A forward looking, resolute and highly motivated Senator Philip Aduda   sponsored a record number of bills and motions which addressed key concerns of his people and also played a crucial role in raising their socio-economic indices to record heights. Senator Philip Aduda also attracted numerous federally funded SDGs projects to his constituency and crucially kickstarted fastrack economic growth, infrastructural development and  the budding industrial revolution of sorts to his Senatorial Zone and and the FCT as a whole. As the 2019 general elections draws nearer, we of the CSCON fervently believe that Senator Philip Aduda stands heads and shoulders above his largely inexperienced motley of opponents for the highly challenging seat and when he emerges victorious will genuinely champion the interests, welfare and  wellbeing of the stoic and hard working people of Abuja Senatorial Zone thus ensuring fasttrack infrastructural development, economic growth and a record breaking industrial revolution at the FCT on a scale unprecedented in our nascent democratic dispensation' - the CSCON communique signed by Comrade David Bulus concluded.

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...
