APC Guber Primaries: Legislative Writers Forum Congratulates Sen. Owan…Wants Cross Riverians To Vote For Him

As the All Progressives Congress APC declared Sen. John Owan Enoh as its flag bearer for next year’s governorship elections, the Legislative Writers Forum has congratulated the Senator on his victory at the party’s primaries. The group described the emergence of Sen. Owan as good for democracy and a turning point for the party in the state.

National President of the group Austin Asadu said the legislative writers across the country have always insisted that credible candidates should emerge as candidates of political party. The statement described Sen. Owan as a very credible candidate with the requisite political experience that is needed to turn Cross River State around.

The forum urged the people of the state to ensure that they vote Owan as their next governor in order to bring the state to mainstream politics in the country. “It is disheartening that despite the potentials of a state like Cross River, it has not been able to transform such potentials to better use especially in the past three and half years. It is heartwarming that the APC have decided to bring in someone with experience and connections that can better the lot of the state like Sen. John Owan Enoh. We at the legislative Writers Forum has mandated our members especially those in Cross River state to join forces with him in order to bring good governance to the people of the state come 2019” the statement added.

The forum also commended the National Working Committee of the APC for doing the needful by ensuring the emergence of the chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance. ‘’We commend the leadership of the party especially the NWC for ensuring that a credible personality in the person of Sen. John Owan Enoh is flying the flag of the party. It shows its seriousness to effect leadership change in the state which is what the people are yearning for and it is our belief that he will emerge victorious at the end of the day’’ the statement 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...
