PROF AL- MUSTAPHA DECLARES FOR PRESIDENT IN ORDER TO USHER IN A NEW NIGERIA

Indeed the 2019 general elections has witnessed a game changing entry in the game changing narrative of the presidential race as Prof Al-Mustapha has declared intention to contest for the highest office in the land on a platform dedicated to transforming the socio-economic indices of the nation for the better while lifting the long suffering Nigerians from the depths of poverty hunger, homelessness, diseases and illiteracy that has been their lot since the post independence era.

According to an ebullient Prof. Al-Mustapha who is a retired Major in the Nigerian Army, the era of business as usual is about to be decisively consigned to the dust heap of history as the Peoples Party of Nigeria (PPN) manifesto has declared total war on corrupt practices, embezzlement of public funds and the misappropriation of state resources for private ends.

However, the anti-corruption war of the PPN will not be selective and biased in favour of gnomes and acolytes as is presently the case with the present APC Federal Administration. Those who know me are aware that I do not fear foe nor favour friends, all I am concerned is with due process, and the rule of law, anyone or anybody that fall short of these sacrosanct ethos will be made to face the full weight of the law no more no less.

Furthermore, Prof. Al-Mustapha extorted PPN faithful, supporters, stakeholders and all Nigerians to remain steadfast in their support of the party and its progressive agenda as it is poised to take over the mantle of governance at the local, state and Federal levels in order to usher in a more prosperous, abundant, fruitful and rewarding future for all as well as generations unborn. The PPN has kicked off its Presidential, National Assembly, and State House of Assembly campaign with a massive rally attended by tens of thousands of supports, adherent artisans, youths, market women, professionals, trade union and all manner of political activists at the Old Parade Ground, Garki Area 3, Abuja with a resonating message of taking the over 170 million Nigerians to the promised land come 2019.

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...
