The All Progressives Congress (APC) has said Saturday’s judgement of the Taraba State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal is the clearest indication yet that the PDP has started harvesting what it sowed in its years of impunity and recklessness, hence it should blame
itself for whatever tragedy has now befallen it.

In a statement issued in Lagos on Sunday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said the PDP has always been a party of anything goes, hence it is a matter of time for the party to come to grief, first by tumbling from the pinnacle of power and now by losing, incrementally, whatever remains of its crumbled empire.
It said the PDP was only trifling by attributing the judgement to a supposed manipulation from the Presidency.

”President Muhammadu Buhari as well as his party, the APC, are strong believers in the rule of law, as against the rule of impunity, hence will never manipulate the judiciary for whatever reason.

”The PDP is clearly aware of this, but has chosen to blame everyone but itself for the fate that has befallen it. The PDP should have known that it will pay for its years of impunity and recklessness. For this party, the chicken has now come home to roost,” APC said.

The party said if the PDP is not blaming the judiciary, its favourite whipping boy, it is blaming the APC, the Presidency or even Nigerians for its plight, warning it to stop shifting responsibility.

”PDP should leave the judiciary, the Presidency and the APC alone and accept responsibility for its actions. From the judgement of the Tribunal, it is clear that the impunity of the PDP cost it the election. Not only did the party breach Section 78 (b) (1) (2) of the Electoral Act concerning the organization of party primaries, it was
not even deemed to have participated in the April 11th 2015 governorship election in Taraba State in the eyes of the law.

”Apart from not complying with the Electoral Act, the election of the PDP candidate, Mr. Darius Ishaku, in the purported primaries in Abuja was done after the stipulated time for party primaries had elapsed, according to the Tribunal. It is thus clear that the election result in Taraba was not annulled for any other reason but the impunity and recklessness that permeated the life and times of the cadaverous PDP.

”It is noteworthy that this is not the first time the court is ruling against PDP’s impunity of violating its own constitutional provisions and the Electoral Aact with regards to ensuring internal democracy in the conduct
of primary elections.

”The first landmark judgment came from the Supreme Court when it ruled against PDP’s impunity in 2007 and ordered that Rotimi Amaechi be installed as Governor of Rivers instead of Celestine Omehia who was illegally imposed.

Secondly, the Supreme Court had also ruled against PDP in the case of Ifeanyi Ararume when the party took his mandate as validly elected Governorship candidate and handed it over to another aspirant.

”It is instructive to note that these judgments took place while the PDP was in control of the Presidency. The opposition parties then never questioned the integrity of the judiciary by making wild and weighty allegations as the PDP is doing now,” it said.
The APC also said that the PDP should blame itself for its gross impunity with regards to the conduct of primary elections for Taraba State. For instance, if all political parties, including the APC which was then in opposition, could hold their primaries in the state, why would the PDP that was in control of the State Government come down to Abuja for its primaries against the provisions of the Electoral Act and the PDP constitution?

”The impunity was not only in the case of Taraba State because the PDP also moved its Governorship primaries for Borno and Adamawa States to Abuja in breach of the Electoral Act.

The irony was that whereas the PDP claimed the primaries where shifted to Abuja because the capitals of Taraba, Borno and Adamawa States where not safe for primary elections, the PDP held Presidential campaigns in the same capitals of the affected states (Jalingo, Taraba State, Maiduguri, Borno State and Yola, Adamawa State).

”Now that the PDP’s chicken has come home to roost, the party must be courageous enough to accept full responsibility and stop seeing enemies everywhere. The PDP is its own enemy,” the party said.

Revelation!!! After reading this I became speechless

'the PDP has always been a party of anything goes, hence it is a matter of time for the party to come to grief, first by tumbling from the pinnacle of power and now by losing, incrementally, whatever remains of its crumbled empire' - lai Mohammed

Bb

So PDP is this weak?
Oga Jonah caused this?
Everything deserves a yes answer.
Expecting more from bros tribunals.

Lies from One and only liar.

Nice one from Lai Muhammed. He knows where to situate PDP. APC will definitely miss this man when he is sworn in as a minister. Can Rotimi Fashakin wear his shoes?

after reading this, all I can say is that lai Mohammed killed it. and as for the PDP, they sow the whirlwind they have to reap it

OFF point Lai

Lai Mohammed has finished PDP

Not only did the party breach Section 78 (b) (1) (2) of the Electoral Act concerning the organization of party primaries, it was
not even deemed to have participated in the April 11th 2015 governorship election in Taraba State in the eyes of the law.

These are salient points that are undisputable.

lalasticlala, Obinoscopy, Seun, you guys should do justice to this thread and put it on Front-page.

Bla bla bla. So at lie Mohammed age and his experience. He thinks decimation of pdp is about right or wrong. By 2019 and 2023 the north will give him water to clear his eyes. It's one party state for northern consensus president to counter resistance from the south. 16 years man, 16 years.

lalasticlala, Obinoscopy, Seun, you guys should do justice to this thread and put it on Front-page.

No doubt. It has been like their second nature. But if this same senerio plays out in the case of Benue, justice must be served.

”The first landmark judgment came from the Supreme Court when it ruled against PDP’s impunity in 2007 and ordered that Rotimi Amaechi be installed as Governor of Rivers instead of Celestine Omehia who was illegally imposed.
Secondly, the Supreme Court had also ruled against PDP in the case of Ifeanyi Ararume when the party took his mandate as validly elected Governorship candidate and handed it over to another aspirant.

Amaechi vs omehia/PDP, taught them nothing..

Ararume's was also considered as one of those things..


Now, they are going to learn in the most painful & arduous way possible..

”Now that the PDP’s chicken has come home to roost, the party must be courageous enough to accept full responsibility and stop seeing enemies everywhere. The PDP is its own enemy,”

Learning & growing are the bedrock of development & progress, unfortunately all PDP cared about about was POWER without covering the bases & vlocking all loopholes cos they were drunk on the same power.

Can't see them getting anything from the higher courts ..

still seeking for one thing pdp is good at, they can't govern well, can't rig well, can't even defend themselves in law well, the worst part, they lack knowledge of history. God help them.

you may be right but do you know they can't even share the money legally, e.g., distributing cash in Ghana must gp, spraying dollars in a presidential campaign rally. That organization is just too dumb for my liking, if it had been a trading company, they won't have lasted the first 4years.

Apc forming saints,trying to quote the law forgot that in Benue and Imo states where they won,their Candidates never conducted primaries but where imposed which is against d electoral law,its only when it involves PDP they would start coming up with different Laws,We have gone back to d days our Judiciary is compromised by d Executive,is this d Change?

Dollarization Of The APC Primaries: How Amaehi Vanquished Atiku #saibuhari

The blogosphere was inundated with reports of the excessive sharing of dollars at the All Progressives Congress which took place during the latter part of last week.

One APC supporter and Special Adviser to Osun Governor on Environment, BolaIlori had blown the scandal open after he saw the beginning stages of the dollarization in action.

He took to his Facebook page and scribbled, “Crazy things are happening here!!! Some of these cannot represent the change Nigeria is yearning for. Excessive dollarization by one of the aspirants to is to say the least obscene. I have been involved in political process for decades now, I have never witnessed this volume of raw dollarization of party primaries. I only read about this kind of things in PDP primaries. A question been asked by conscientious delegates is that whoever can be giving out between $2000 to $5000 to…delegates certainly does not represent the kind of change Nigerians want…those who contributed to the pauperization of Nigeria now revel in dollarization… majority of Ondo delegates are still standing with Buhari but have been reduced from 85% to 70% within 24 hours…the remaining has gone with dollars ooo.!!!!!”

One has to wonder how Buhari was able to win the primaries in this era of stomach infrastructure where dollars are like the Biblical manna that God sent down from heaven to nourish the Israelites as they made their way to the promised land.

Sources close to the APC with knowledge of the way the Primaries unfolded have revealed that it was Rivers State Governor, Amaechi who flew back to Rivers State and returned to Lagos on Thursday morning with enough dollars to make Benjamin Franklin blush.

It has been revealed that Atiku offered the delegates $5000 each, but Amaechi doubled it to $10000 a pop. Thus turning the tables in favour of General Buhari.

Since his adventure into the APC, Amaechi has gone out of his way to prove himself a party loyalist, always the first to shoki or azonto at the many events the APC holds, which he himself is usually the chief sponsor.

According to party insiders, Amaechi has overtaken Tinubu as the major financier of the party. One does not need to wonder why he is always at President Jonathan’s throat over misappropriated oil wells or other such business. Anything that diminishes from the State’s coffers will have a ripple effect on his funding budget for the APC.
