While decrying the harassment of Plateua citizens by the Nigerian military, John Pofi said his administration will address such situations which has affected the people of the state. "My administration will never allow a situation whereby the people of the state will be harassed by ant security apparatus under the guise of looking for any missing personnel without authourisation. There must be order if we have to grow| he said.
He promised to bring development to the state using the various contacts he has established across the globe. he said his administration will impact on the people of the state in the area of security, economic growth, commerce and industry, sports, health as well as tourism development. "I have a blue print that will bring growth and development to all facets of the state which will in turn bring development to the state.

|The All Progressives Congress APC and the Peoples Democratic Party PDP have been tested in the state and have failed us. It is high time they test another option in the Social Democratic Party SDP which is a party that has preached social justice for all Nigerians. With me in the state government House, the people will experience liberation, empowerment, educational upliftment and sustainable growth. This is my promise to them and those who know me believe I can deliver in all this| he stated.

He said the people of the state needs a young and energetic person in the state's seat of power an that Mr. Pafi is a symbol of such personality needed in governance. He said indications have shown that the people of the state are willing to discard the APC and PDP for the SDP in the coming general elections next year.

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.

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...
