PDP Presidential Primary Not Democratic, Says Fayemi by mistabiola: 3:38pm On Dec 10, 2014 |
A former Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, who is also the national convention committee chairman of the All Progressives Congress has described the special convention of the Peoples Democratic Party as undemocratic. Fayemi said this at the APC third national convention, which is currently holding at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos. The PDP convention, which is holding in Abuja, seeks to affirm President Goodluck Jonathan as it’s presidential candidate. However, Fayemi described the PDP event as a coronation and not convention as it was just a ruse to endorse Jonathan. He said among all the political parties in the country, only the APC was holding an open and transparent presidential primary. He said, “You can see that our primary is very transparent and is offering every aspirant a level playing field unlike the PDP, which is holding a coronation. Theirs is just an event to put a crown on Jonathan and that is not a convention.” http://www.punchng.com/news/pdp-presidential-primary-not-democratic-says-fayemi/ |

12 Reasons why APC should pick Gen. Muhammadu Buhari as its PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: PICK BUHARI, THE FACE OF CHANGE By Balogun Akeem. 1. AN INCORRUPTIBLE ENIGMA One converging point at which friends, admirers, foes and detractors agree upon the person of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (GCFR) is the issue of his transparent, honest and incorruptible nature. Such a man can tame the behemoth of corruption and liberate Nigerians from that scourge's destructive impacts. If corruption in Nigeria is reduced by 50% over 70% of our problems will be solved. It takes an incorruptible person to sincerely fight corruption. 2. THE FACE OF CHANGE To most Nigerians that are not politicians but critical and wise voters who are yearning for change, the nomenclature of the Party and slogan are not the attraction or issue, but the person who is trusted enough to facilitate and bring about desired change; it must be that person who can make the difference. It is Gen. Muhammadu Buhari who is one undeniable Face of Change illuminating the APC. He is one very solid character upon which APC's reputation is founded and constructed. 3. THE VOTES MATTER Among Nigerian contemporary politicians and leaders, Gen Muhammadu Buhari is undisputedly a political leader with the largest of ardent followers actoss the country, a following that is not induced, purchased, coerced, brainwashed, but based on the admiration of his trustworthiness and honesty of purpose; his courage, patriotism and love; his truthfulness and disciplined nature. Above all, he is God-fearing and free of that ugly tag in Nigeria where official corruption has degenerated to a level of being official. 4. DISCIPLINE General Mohammadu Buhari has been able to successfully grow himself in selflessness, unconditional love, self control, dutifulness and sacrifice which are the characteristics and hallmark of a great disciplined leader and sage. This is why Gen Buhari is always distinctively glorious among equals. A man that is selfish and lacks self control can only be an agent of national destruction. So let's go the Buhari Way. 5. CAPACITY TO TAKE DIFFICULT AND HARD DECISION There are fundamental and difficult decisions that must be taken for Nigeria's ship of state to navigate aright, particularly regarding corruption and restructuring, among several others. Such decisions need a courageous, selfless, disciplined, incorruptible personality with a sound sense of judgment to be able to act appropriately and accordingly. Gen Muhammadu Buhari is that man for now in Nigeria. 6. PERFORMANCES Gen Muhammadu Buhari has undying penchant for performance at every point of duty he finds himself. Gen Olusegun Obasanjo said in one of his books, "Give any duty or assignment to General Muhammadu Buhari and he will perform it beyond your expectation; if by any chance he did not meet your expectation, it will not be because he did not put in his best." Gen Buhari has outstanding capacity to inspire loyalty, commitment to duty and cause, control and patriotism. He is tested and trusted and trusted. 7. A GREAT LIGHT AND INSPIRATION In the web of gross darkness imposed on Nigeria by the cankerworms of corruption, Gen Muhammadu Buhari acts a beam of light, a ray of hope and necessity an instrument of change. He is never swallowed in the crowd, and is not one to be intoxicated nor overwhelmed by power and position or their excitement. He is ever outstanding due largely to his sterling leadership qualities. 8. THIS IS NO TIME FOR A STOOGE IN POWER OR A PRESIDENT BY ERROR In this critical and challenging moment of the life of our dear country Nigeria, there is a clarion call for a purposeful, dynamic, charismatic, courageous, capable and experienced leadership. There is a crying demand for a leader that can effectively and appropriately champion a national rebirth to father a new Nigeria of our collective aspiration; a national cry for a corruption-free, progressive, united and secure nation. Gen Buhari is undoubtedly such a leader, our own Nelson Mandela. 9. ON ACCUSATION OF BEING A RELIGIOUS BIGOT. That only exists in the imagination of detractors, those who fear and dread Gen Muhammadu Buhari's incorruptible status in an environment that celebrates corruption. They know it will take an incorruptible person to faithfully fight corruption; they will rather twist facts and crooked-up sentiments in order to keep in power an empire of the corrupt. What was intentionally manipulated to mean that Gen Buhari said Muslims should vote for Muslims was his wise counsel spoken in Hausa language that Nigerians should only vote for God-fearing men and women, Gen Buhari himself being a God- fearing man, the reason for his nationally acclaimed incorruptible and disciplined nature. 10. STILL ON RELIGION Gen Muhammadu Buhari was once quoted as saying that 'the Muslim God is not in Mecca neither is the Christian God in Jerusalem. If anyone must go on pilgrimage, it should be done on personal sacrifice and not at huge national cost. He frowned at the corrupt practices involved in yearly pilgrimages. These are no words from a Religious bigot but words on marble from a true nationalist. He is only faithful to his faith without depriving others to do same. 11. PATRIOTISM General Muhammadu Buhari is a great patriot, who will sacrifice personal comfort as he has always done in order to attain national and collective goals and objectives. He possesses a strong character needed to resolve our multifaceted national problems and challenges. 12. A GREAT TEAM BUILDER Gen Muhammadu Buhari believes in team work, particularly with people who can be trusted and faithful to set goals and national objectives. |
