Usani’s Petition Against Sen. Owan’s Victory Dead On Arrival- CPA



The Cross River Progressives Alliance CPA a socio political Group in Cross River state has described the petition written by the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs Pastor UsaniUsaniUguru as dead on arrival even as it urged the Minister to act as a man of God he says he is by embracing the outcome of the September 30th APC primaries that witnessed the emergence of Sen. John Owan Enoh as the flag bearer of the party in the state.

The group in a press statement signed by Egbolato Johnson and made available to newsmen said there was no way that the Usani Usani petition can fault the Ali Magaji led electoral Committee which conducted transparent primaries across all the wards in the state. It described the petition as selfish and self-serving and a ploy to cause unnecessary distraction within the fold of the party.

“Will the Honourable Minister say that the election which saw Sen. Owan scoring over eighty thousand votes out of 101,212 votes casted on that fateful day is not justified? It is disheartening that somebody who claims to be a loyal party member can attempt to rock the boat because it does not favour him. This is a very wrong way to play politics and should not be encouraged by the National Working Committee of our great party” the statement said.

The Cross River Progressive Alliance hailed other party members that accepted the outcome of the primaries as true democrats that have the interest of the party at heart. It said the major objective of the party should be how to wrest power from the non performing governor who has dragged the state backward despite the enormous opportunities that the state has. “What we need at this point in time is to join forces to kick out the non performing PDP led administration in the state under Ben Ayade. We owe it as an obligation as Cross River people to do this and it is crystal clear that the petition of Usani Usani against the more popular, acceptable, experienced and people oriented candidate like John Owan Enoh negates what we the people of Cross River are yearning for” the statement added.

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...
