Musa Abdullahi & Agency Reports

Hon. Emeka Ihedioha is the current Speaker of the House of Representatives who succeeded Hon. Aminu Tambuwal (who has resumed office as the Governor of Sokoto state) tells the Lawmakers of the both assembly to brace-up.

The News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, reports that Hon. Ihedioha delivered a short address to newly elected members of the National Assembly from the People’s Democratic Party during their ongoing retreat in Port-Harcourt, Rivers state.

He gave some tips which he said will be useful for them as the new opposition party in the national assembly.

“The PDP has to step up to play the role of opposition well enough. We will have to conduct ourselves in most responsible manner. Team work is important as we go forward. In the House of Reps where I have operated for 12 years, I have learnt that what the opposition does is to be very vigilant. You cannot afford the luxury of not coming to chambers,” he said.

He then added: “Whenever they are blowing the cake, you must find fault wherever it is possible. Whistleblowing is an arsenal and asset which the opposition must have at its fingertips. You cannot afford the luxury of keeping quiet. APC made noise at every opportunity. All of us must begin to work on our media friends. Shout, make noise and do not allow any opportunity to pass you by.”

He similarly advised the party generally to be on the lookout for members while performing its role as the opposition.

“Nigerians will celebrate your failure but we must rise up to the challenge. We must alert our people when things start to go wrong. For instance the situation in Ekiti is what we as the House of Representatives stood up to address. We cannot see Fayose as an enigma. We should not allow Fayose to go down before we rescue,” he said.

Concerning what the PDP will need to do to regain its place in the national polity, he said, “We must do what we must do, using propaganda and blackmail. When you don’t blackmail when you are in the opposition, you are wasting your time. Marry the media as quickly as possible and do the needful when it needs to be done.

“The true test of our character as an opposition has just begun. Our capacity to influence the emergence of principal officers will to a large extent give Nigerians the idea whether we are ready for our role. I believe that outside here, those who know how to plot, especially General David Mark, who is a professional businessman in this field, will know the right thing to do so that we can begin to plot what to do.”

Hon. Ihedioha also advised the acting chairman of the party, Chief Uche Secondus who was present to lead the party aright.

“Mr Chairman and the NWC, the party cannot afford to lead as it led in the past. We must lead our members rightly. What I learnt from the APC was that inspite of their personal differences, they always managed to present a common front on the floor of the house. When you are unable to present a common front as an opposition, you have failed.”

100% ENDORSEMENT!

Its payback time. Game on

yea..its just a pity that you guyz are getting it all wrong

I am sure the Propaganda and blackmail Ihedioha(Imo guber election runner-up) talked about is not done by investigating the worth of Aisha Buhari's wrist watch when you don't know if its a gift or she used her hard earned money to buy it; it is not done by monitoring Aisha Buhari's beauty parlour; it is not done in a haste; it is not done by exposing ya gullibility by shouting "Buhari must declare his assets ”publicly” the same day he submitted the asset declaration form"; and it is not done by using a cheap source such as breakingtimes.com to fly/air ya news all the time..

Y'all need to calm down and be calculative when making criticisms, in such a way that the ruling party will have nothing meaningful to counter it...Now, that's how to play the game.

Enjoy ya stay in the opposition

APC gave us the playbook, expect us to use it. They are in for a war, they just don't know yet.

Mr. Failure Ihedioha, You don't need to teach them, they have already started with Phantom watch bought by Aisha,
Public declaration of Asset, etc

However, they also ran the most vicious and divisive propaganda ever know to mankind before election, they ran the most libelous documentary also, they employ the most crudest form of campaign ever known to mankind, all in a bid to STOP Buhari/APC from emerging, any yet they FAILED and Was HUMULIATED!

Why do they think, Liberated Nigerians, who have just heaved a sign of relief, would listen to a party who Killed 20000 Nigerians, Stole over 60Trillion Naira of their common wealth, and celebrated known criminals!

Shameless and Idotic Oppostion!

We will bounce back

All the things he listed were what APC was all about. Now its time for APC to receive a taste of their own medicine.
Kudos to PDP for realizing this.

Where is the strongest axis of the media located? SW.

Where are the strongholds of PDP now? SE and SS minus Imo and Edo.

Where is the most active population on social media located? SW.
Which party is dominant in SW? APC.

I want to see how far their propaganda and noise can carry them without presenting undeniable facts, obvious figures and empirical evidence.

In his own part of the country, opposition is equals to noise making. I am laughing in Mandarin.

Whatever! See how dumb PDP are. Already telling ur enemy how u plan to deal with him .

Lie mohammed once said that the PDP need tutorship from him as the main opposition...

Which media are they going to own or marry?

90percent of the media houses are now sympathetic to the Buhari's cause

All APC needs is to ensure good government at all levels and a significant reduction in corruption. No amount of blackmail can bring down a government that his delivering on its electoral promises.

PDP no won gree say APC won the Game successfully

The loser is not returning as a legislator. He should go think of his political career.

What a jerk!!

Thats good the same cup used by APC should be used against them.
They aint the only one with quick hand.
NOTE: The woman above me needs some brain rehab, as she don't have a say of her own (INDEPENDENT MIND) just follow the masses.

It is this retarded concept of politics that kept him away from being a governor and now assures his crawling back to the hole he emerged from.

Bring it on. You'al learners. We'll take You'al 4to the school of no graduation

Before nko? Apc must be paid back in its own coin. Good measure shaken together!

Chai, Ihedioha abeg make you de shut up sometimes. PDP will bounce back though

Was that how Tambuwal ruled? Some people are not born to be rulers. But by accident, when they find themselves there they begin to missbehave. If the APC lawmakers were not peaceful enough, they will not allow you to ascend to that position. Afterall, they are still the majority in the house.

Chief Ihedioha, Nigerians know better now. Please go ahead and shout and make empty loud noise while Buhari works harder and wins the hearts of Nigerians. It will be much fun to watch

If the only thing PDP knows is to shout and make noise without ridding themselves of corruption, they'll perpetually remain in the opposition or worse still, die a natural death when members realize their association with the party does more harm than good to their political ambitions

And they got a bloody nose for it, and they are going to get a messier deep wound on their unthinking skull. We are up to the task. Y didnt Ihedioha employ such propaganda in IMO where he got bashed despite all the rigging and intimidation. PDP needs to be schooled cos they just lack d balls n d gut not to talk of the discipline to play opposition in Naija. Time shall tell.

Ihedioha is mad.

lalasticlala, Seun, Obinoscopy and Ishilove, Can Nigerians Know what PDP as opposition is made up?

if PDP no wan get sense like they did for 16 years n got dismissed as experienced in last elections, well well maybe we should unleashed well packaged truths about them that will hurt so bad that they regret starting lies e.g. that GEJ has no Phd? we are waiting cos we better positioned. Bring it on PDP, we waiting for your!

I also believe the governor of Rivers state. has started him own. Ameachi stealing all movable things from the government house. lollolollolol

Mogidi:
ok

is that all your Agidi brain can conceive How shameless that the speaker admitted in public, the basis for PDPs opposition is to blackmail...

Offspring of the clueless-1

He said the truth

If I was one of those he was advising, I will kindly ask him, why his brilliant method did not work for him in Imo State against Okoro-ocha?
They should have swallowed their pride and accept the free lesson on opposition politics Mr Lai Mohammed was offering them last month.

Propaganda and blackmailing without rich facts is equivalent to suicide. Does he know what the word blackmail means? It's a criminal offence to blackmail anyone.lol

Barca Lee, that is not the strategy. I will speak to you in camera
