Ex Senate leader, Ndoma-Egba resigns from PDP

A former leader of the Senate, Victor Ndoma-Egba (SAN), has resigned his membership of the Peoples Democratic Party. Ndoma-Egba tendered his resignation to the PDP Chairman in his Akparabong Ward of Ikom Local Government Area of Cross River State yesterday September 16th.

He cited inconsistency in PDP's policy as one of his reasons for resigning from the party. His resignation letter in part reads “I returned to politics to pursue certain ideals and values, to contribute towards strengthening democracy, to give a voice to my people, a people who have been most kind and generous to me. Before, the PDP was strong in Cross River State because it offered members an atmosphere and opportunity for self expression within its confines.

Today, those values that underline democracy have totally become strange to the party. I, therefore, resign my membership of the PDP forthwith and urge you to take the necessary steps to reflect this on your records,”.

Goodluck Jonathan urges PDP to go against Kogi governor, Idris Wada

Former President, Goodluck Jonathan is said to be campaigning against the second term bid of Kogi State governor, Idris Wada.Jonathan has reportedly urged leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to do everything possible to prevent Wada from winning the party’s primaries which will hold on Monday, September 14, 2015 in Lokoja.“It started like a rumour; but former President Jonathan came out openly today (Sunday) and told the governor that he would not support him.

And as I speak with you, he is calling leaders of the PDP in the state not to support the governor in the primary that will take place on Monday,’’ an unnamed aide of the governor told ThisDay.“Politicians have no conscience.

What has Governor Wada done to deserve all these from Jonathan? Anyway, God is with us; let’s wait and see what will happen on Monday,” the aide added.Jonathan is said to be against Wada due to a suspicion that the latter supported President Muhammadu Buhari during the March presidential elections.Jonathan lost to Buhari in the March 28 election leading the PDP to relinquish the position of ruling party to the All Progressives Congress (APC) after 16 years in power.

Ekiti PDP tells APC —You can’t force governor to declare assets

                           

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has said that the All Progressives Congress (APC) can’t force Governor Ayo Fayose to disclose his assets. The Ekiti APC had, on Tuesday, September, 8, 2015, dared Fayose to disclose his assets.

 The PDP however said that the APC lacks the moral justification to criticize Fayose for not making his assets public when many APC governors had failed to do so. This was contained in a statement released on Wednesday, September 9, by Ekiti PDP Publicity Secretary, Jackson Adebayo.

 It reads in part: “The declaration made by Buhari cannot be compared to that made by the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua which till date has been adjudged as a perfect declaration by any Nigerian President.” The Ekiti PDP also said that Buhari’s declaration “contained many loopholes which no sensible person should be proud of.” Buhari declared his assets publicly on September 3, and said that every governor and minister is compelled to follow suit. Fayose however criticized the president’s declaration saying that he is not as poor as he’s claiming to be.

PDP - Buhari and Osinbajo's assets declaration is deceptive

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has faulted the assets declared by President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Thursday, September 3, saying its a mere "deceptive window-dressing to hoodwink unsuspecting Nigerians”

In a statement signed by PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh on Friday, September 4, the President's statement in March, promising he would declare his assets publicly was recalled. It read, “I pledge to publicly declare my assets and liability and also encourage my political appointees to publicly declare their assets and liability." The party said Buhari and Osinbajo have failed to produce copies of their declarations, detailing the exact nature and value of respective assets. The statement reads,

 “We have noted the release of a flimsy list of belongings of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo by the Presidency, who want such to pass as the public declaration of assets as pledged by the President. “Nigerians are not deceived by this poor attempt at window-dressing designed by the Presidency to hoodwink the unsuspecting populace in a desperate bid to shore up its diminished image.

“We ask, is the resort to a mere list, instead of true copies of the declaration not a ploy to give the Presidency a window for denial in consonance with their widely observed inclination for flip flopping, backtracking and brazen denials of their statements and actions? “All we want is credibility, integrity and sincerity of purpose. We are not questioning how a President, who by December last year, declared that he had only N1 million in his account, could suddenly now list N30 million in the same bank account by May 29, and after an expensive campaign; we are not yet demanding the public declaration of his assets in his wife’s name.

“We are not even applauding the multiplication of his cows from 150 to 250 in a space of three months, arising from his dual and conflicting pronouncements on this issue“What the PDP and discerning Nigerians demand is for Mr. President to always stand by his words and pledge. “Mr. President, this is a mere list of your belongings and not public declaration of assets in fulfillment of your covenant with Nigerians”

Olisah Metuh- 'We take responsibility for our flaws'

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) recorded numerous achievements that cut across all sectors of the nation’s economy during its 16 years of governance of Nigeria, Chief Olisa Metuh, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, has said.

Metuh made the statement on Monday, August 31, in Abuja while briefing newsmen as part of activities to mark the 17th anniversary of the party.

"We take responsibility for the genuine blames attributed to the PDP, the ones orchestrated by the opposition, we cannot take responsibility, because they were completely lies,’’ he said.

While expressing gratitude to Nigerians for the opportunity given the party to rule Nigeria for 16 years, Metuh called on Nigerians to continue to support the PDP.

He said the call is important as the PDP would relentlessly pursue and defend values and tenets that would ensure Nigeria’s unity, stability and prosperity.

"In spite our temporary electoral setback in the last elections; the PDP is a success story.

"Unarguably, the PDP is still the only pan-Nigeria party, wholly committed to the Nigerian project, accommodating all national interests and whose only agenda remains the unity, stability and prosperity of Nigeria and its people,’’ he said.

Metuh said the PDP stood tall in history as the first political party in Nigeria to nurture and sustain democratic system of government and stable polity uninterrupted for 16 years.

"This did not come by accident, but through meticulous application by successive PDP administrations of policies as enshrined in the party’s ideology and manifesto within the ambit of the laws.’’

The PDP spokesman explained that meticulous execution of the party’s deliberate policies resulted in significant achievements in all sectors of the polity and economy.

He said that while health care became more affordable and accessible, education at all levels received attention, including the re-establishment of the National Open University of Nigeria.

He said that 14 new universities were established by the party to ensure that every state has federal university, in addition to the Almajiri schools in the northern parts for underprivileged Nigerian children.

He said the party investigated and prosecuted Nigerians found to be involved in criminal acts, adding that the PDP government under President Olusegun Obasanjo established the two major anti-corruption agencies.

He said that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC), were established to function without undue interference.

Metuh added that successive PDP administrations, opened more businesses including the telecommunication, transport , aviation, hospitality, education, agriculture, the media, automobile, real estate, oil and gas, food processing, among others.

"By 2015, the PDP has grown our nation’s economy to the largest in Africa and one of the fastest growing in the world,’’ he said.

PDP - Nigeria Economy worse In 90 days of APC

Below is a press statement from the PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) decries as alarming, the damage so far done on the nation’s economy by the President Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) since it took office at the center, three months ago. The party said the shambolic state of the nation’s economy within the period, which represents the worst in the nation’s contemporary history, is a direct fallout of uncertainty created by the inability of the Buhari-led government to chart a clear-cut economic policy, worsened by abuse of regulations, and flagrant violation of constitutional provisions.

I’m Committed to Peace accord –Buhari

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari on Friday reiterated his commitment to the Abuja peace Accord.

He said himself and President Goodluck Jonathan signed a new accord reinforcing their commitment to violent-free elections.

This, he said, was a follow- up to the Abuja Accord which they both signed, along with nine other party leaders, on January 14, 2015, to show “our commitment to free, fair and credible elections in our dear country.”

In a statement he signed in Abuja barely 24 hours to the presidential elections, Buhari said, “I take these accords very seriously, and this has reflected in the issues-based campaign which I ran all through the period of electioneering campaign, despite the provocative and sleazy campaign directed at my person and my party.”

He, however, expressed disappointment that certain happenings within the polity across the country, ahead of Saturday’s elections, run against the contents and spirit of the peace accords.

He said, for example, the ink with which the new peace accord was signed had barely dried when he started hearing reports of violence directed against members of the All Progressives Congress, as well as glaring acts of harassment and intimidation being carried out against the opposition by security agents across the country.

He said, “Shots were fired at the convoy of the Director General of my Campaign Organisation, His Excellency Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, in Rumuolumeni, Obio Akpor area of Port Harcourt, a few hours after the second peace accord was signed, leaving two persons injured.

“I do hope this is not a confirmation of the information reaching my party that some notorious security agents have been deployed to Port Harcourt to restrict the movement of Gov. Amaechi.”

Buhari also observed that in Ondo State, a serving APC member of the House of Representatives, Eniolorunda Omosule, was arrested and detained by the police for no reason other than to keep him away until after elections.


He also said there were reports of an alleged meeting in Ibadan between the Commissioners of Police in the South-west and PDP officials.

The Defense Headquarters simply discharged these photographs of a suspected male terrorist who camouflaged as lady in Hijab. He was captured by troops on some way or another to a business in KwayaKusar in Borno state on Wednesday.

Maybe, a couple of lives were spared as he was doubtlessly planning something sinister.

Reports originating from the North-East say a vast piece of regions lost to Boko Haram have been recouped in the joint military operations between Niger, Nigeria and Chad.

Albeit, there are reports of new kidnappings of more than 500 ladies and kids in Damask yesterday.

Tinubu, Fashola Planning To Bribe Lagos Monarchs –PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party on Tuesday said it had discovered plans by the Lagos State Governor Raji Fashola and a national leader of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, to financially induce all Lagos monarchs ahead of the general elections.

The Lagos chapter of the PDP said a meeting had been scheduled to hold on Wednesday (today) where Lagos monarchs would be given money.

The meeting, according to the PDP, is at the instance of Tinubu.

But, in a reaction, the Publicity Secretary of the APC in Lagos, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, said he was not aware of such a meeting.

Spokesman for the Lagos PDP, Mr. Taofeek Lawal, in a statement alleged that Tinubu and Fashola planned to move against any of the monarchs who refused to play along.

“In a carrot and stick style, any monarch who rejects the offer is to be victimised and may be deposed before Saturday,” Gani said.

The party said further that the Lagos governor had been meeting with various groups and institutions under the government control, including market leaders, transporters, investors and civil servants among others to either induce or coerce them vote for the ruling party in the state.

It said, “We have been reliably informed by our source that the state governor has scheduled to meet monarchs in the state to induce or coerce them to adopt APC. He has also deducted N6bn from local government and state government accounts to compromise about 5,000 corpers and INEC officers on the day of elections at outlined voting and collation centres.

“Some corpers have already collected the money, which the governor calls support allowance. Some honestcorpers have let us know this and that an offer of N200,000 per polling unit is planned for the Election Day by the governor who sent his lobbyists to them.”

The PDP spokesman also urged Fashola to avoid forcing the monarchs to do APC’s bidding in the March 28 and April 11 elections.

He said, “We caution governor Fashola not to victimise any monarch as he may just commit a sacrilege with spiritual consequence. On our part, we shall resist any unconventional way to defeat us in these elections. We shall resist any victimisation of our voters.

“We shall ensure that votes for PDP are cast and not compromised. We are indeed presently considering reporting Fashola to the National Human Rights Commission for violating the people’s rights to express and vote candidates of their choice.”

However, the APC said the claim was false.

“(It is) a joke, a fantasy, all noise and no substance; it is a moonlight story for the kindergarten. Please ignore Lagos PDP,” Igbokwe said.

Two Killed In APC VS PDP Supporters' Clash

TWO persons were shot dead on Tuesday in the Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area of Rivers State in a clash between supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party and those of the All Progressives Congress.

The incident, which took place in Omoku, was said to be a reprisal after an initial violent clash took place in Okwuzi community within the area.

One of the deceased, according to a source, was a relative of the Commissioner for Power, Mr. Augustine Nwokocha, whose house was touched in the violence.

Apart from Nwokocha’s house, some other buildings were also set ablaze as members of the PDP and APC tore at each other amidst sporadic shooting that began at about 8am.

The fight between the two parties in Okwuzi on Monday did not claim any life within the community, but two persons reportedly lost their lives in Omoku.

Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni is the local government area of the Rivers State Chairman of the PDP, Mr. Felix Obuah, while Nwokocha is the leader of the APC in the area.

An eyewitness said the incident had caused confusion in the area as residents, traders and passers-by took to their heels to avoid being hit by bullets.

Confirming the incident, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad, told newsmen that it was a clash between two political parties in the state.

Mohammad also confirmed that two persons were killed during the clash.

He said, “The skirmishes in the two communities in Onne local government area, and which started in Okwuzi yesterday (Monday), was as a result of a clash between supporters of two political parties in the state.

“I can confirm to you that two persons were killed during a reprisal, as a result of the spillover of the clash, in Omoku this morning (Tuesday) but there was no reported case of house burning.


Efforts made to reach the State Commissioner for Power, Mr. Augustine Nwokocha, to react to the incident at Omoku and how he was affected was futile as his mobile phone was switched off when our correspondent called.
