Rise Up Against Buhari, APC, PDP Tells Its Members by unuane1(m): 9:26pm On Oct 25, 2015 |
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has raised a rallying cry to all its members, supporters and lovers of democracy across the country to rise up and use all lawful means to resist what they call, anti-democratic forces, now using the judiciary and security agencies in their desperate scheme to subvert the will of the people and destroy the nation’s democracy. The party said though it seeks peace, it is not ready to accept the peace of a graveyard, neither is it willing to surrender the mandate freely given to it by the people in any part of the country, particularly in Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Abia, Taraba and other states where it won in the last general elections. “Let it be known, and clearly too, that no matter the strong-arming, threats and manipulations by the APC government, the PDP is not willing to, and will never surrender the mandate freely given to us by the people in states where we won in the last general elections, neither are the people of those states willing to allow sectional invaders to exert influence on those to be in charge of their affairs,” the party said in a statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, on Sunday. The PDP said the ‘desperation’ so far exhibited by the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC government in ‘manipulating’ sensitive agencies of state like the judiciary and the security to further its bid to take over the rich states of Rivers, Akwa-Ibom and Delta is totally against the spirit of democracy and peace bestowed by the PDP in conceding defeat at the Presidential election, but instead, an affront to the people and recipe for crisis in the polity. The party maintained that the rulings by the Rivers and Akwa-Ibom states governorship elections tribunals, despite inherent contradictions, were a direct fallout of interferences from the APC and some elements within the office of the President of the Court of Appeal, adding that they should be held responsible should there be any break down of law and order in the system. It also strongly cautioned against any interference in the Rivers and Akwa- Ibom cases at the appeal level as well as any further intrusion in the Abia, Taraba and Delta governorship election tribunals, which the APC is already boasting of controlling. The PDP said such would be a clear invitation to chaos in the land. “In the last five months, after conceding defeat at the Presidential elections and other polls where we lost, Nigerians are witnesses to the fact that the PDP has remained calm and steadfast to its commitment to providing mature, decent and civil opposition with more interest on the peace, unity and corporate interest of our dear nation. “However, the ruling party and the APC Federal Government in their dictatorial inclinations are much more interested in playing crude, selfish and sectional politics and trying to use manipulation of judicial processes to forcefully take over states where we genuinely won in the elections. “Nigerians have noted APC’s definition of credible elections wherein governorship elections in Imo, Ogun, Plateau, Lagos and Yobe are all credible while those of Rivers, Akwa-Ibom, Delta, Taraba and Abia are rigged and must by all means be annulled. “In the light of the foregoing therefore, leaders of the PDP across the country are now converging on a consensus not to surrender our national destiny and fate to the whims and caprices of the sectional interests of the Daura and Bourdillon Mafia. “We want all to know that this party is able, willing and now ready to call up our members and supporters to use all means within the limits provided by the laws of the land to resist this evil plan to decimate the PDP and opposition. The peace we seek is not that of a graveyard, it is such as guaranteed by a well-recognized democratic system that treats all as equals before the law, irrespective of partisan and political affiliations. “We hereby raise a rallying cry to all our members and supporters of PDP nationwide, all patriotic citizens and all lovers of democracy to join the PDP in this fight to save our nation from the hands of the lying, deceitful and false prophets, who are bent on parading themselves as cruel conquerors of our democracy. “Furthermore, we request the international community to note that never in the history of our democracy has the nation witnessed such a divisive and anti-people government, whose actions have so polarized the polity, and undermined national unity and cohesion, a development that spells doom for our democracy, if not checked. “We are therefore duty bound to counsel President Muhammadu Buhari to be cautious of tendencies that provide avenues for the destruction of the nation’s democracy, which he is a huge beneficiary of. “In the same vein, we call on the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Mahmud Mohammed to note the looming danger and save the nation’s democracy and the institution of the judiciary by immediately checking negative actions emanating from elements operating within the office of the President of the Court of Appeal. “Finally, it has become necessary to remind all that this democracy was built on the principle of the rule of law and no political party, individual or group must be allowed to, by any means, appropriate or attempt to appropriate the will of the people at any time and under any guise. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/192128-rise-up-against-buhari-apc-pdp-tells-its-members.html 1 Like |

Never in the history of Nigeria have I seen such an uninformed, foolhardy, desperate, crude, divisive and insensitive government whose preoccupation is intimidation and enthronement of one-party system in Nigeria. 1 Like |

PDP needs to be replaced as the opposition party, they do not have the intellect for opposition. A party tried to rig presidential election and still lost; brazenly and violently rigged state gubernatorial elections and won temporary victory that has now been overturned, and has the audacity to attempt to make their loss about anything other than a correction of brazen impunity. Nigeria is so messed up that is why such public nuisance is being tolerated, if not what we really should be discussing here is pressing of criminal charges for electoral malpractice. Shameless and useless party that runied the country and wasted opportunities for 16 good years. 16!! The real shame is that more of them are not in jail! 3 Likes |

Episteme2:I will forgive you if you can prove to me that ur just coming to Nigeria. What happened in Ekiti(the use of military) was nothing to ur reasoning. Or you don't know it was GEJ's plot? Did you see what happened to Sanusi when he was about to be crowned Emir? Where he was intimidated by Police and the govt house locked so as to prevent him from becoming the Emir. Oh! you were dozing when Tambuwal was openly teargassed and the then IG refused to identify him as the Speaker, all because GEJ don't want him? See, you guys are modern hypocrites, and you must live with this intimidation for some times. So that you can know that nobody has the monopoly of power and position. 2 Likes |

Dannyset: They just think everyone is as delluded or drunk on selective amnesia as they are, they really are a silly bunch that no one really takes seriously. Imagine PDP calling Buhari's 5 month old government divisive? Which government has been more divisive than Jonathan's in this current republic, or been more corrupt or exercised mnore impunity? 2 Likes |

PDP and Nwike must do everything to defend River State However Amaechi and Buhari want it lets give it to them. We can not lie down and accept the intimidation. If they want to spill blood just to capture River State then let's show them they will still fail. Let Rivers and Akwa Ibom be the grounds where the fight backs begin! No to Buhari dictatorship and his lapdog Amaechi! |
Re: Rise Up Against Buhari, APC, PDP Tells Its Members by McKren(m): 12:36am On Oct 26, 2015 |
O SkyBlue1: When did it become the responsibility of the ruling party to pick and choose who the opposition can be? The kind of dangerous dictatorship you guys are imposing on Nigeria is frightening! Remember this! If Jonathan wanted to be in power at all cost there is nothing APC would have done about it. PDP worked hard to modify itself and the system to a society where votes count and mean something. APC wants to retrogress this country by 20years just because they want to consolidate power at all cost! |
Re: Rise Up Against Buhari, APC, PDP Tells Its Members by SkyBlue1: 12:36am On Oct 26, 2015 |
McKren: Why don't you just hope and work towards a free and fair election so the people can choose for themselves instead of you or individuals thinking they speak for everyone? And you don't see the irony in calling Buhari a dictator with that attitude of yours? I don't know where you people get all this thuggish mentality from. |
Re: Rise Up Against Buhari, APC, PDP Tells Its Members by McKren(m): 12:42am On Oct 26, 2015 |
SkyBlue1: There has already been a free and fair election and you lost! The basis for which the Rivers election was cancelled which is malfunctioning card reader was a nationwide issue which also affected Presidential election. Why don't we have a re-run of the Presidential election too? |

Re: Rise Up Against Buhari, APC, PDP Tells Its Members by McKren(m): 1:11am On Oct 26, 2015 |
SkyBlue1: No election in Nigeria is free and fair. Even Buhari's victory is flawed but I guess that's a debate for another day! But the outcome of the Rivers election represents the will of majority of Rivers people! |

McKren: And you know this because? With low turnout due to violence and intimidation that was roundly condemned by international observers, industrial scale rigging that gave him statistically impossible results for the number of people accredited and with low turnout, somehow, you know this. Or wait, your friends and everyone you know was planning on voting for Wike, and you know majority of the people in Rivers State right? What a joker you are. Go bore someone else with your jokes. This is how you people thought Nigerians wanted Jonathan. |

I dare to add, if we must continue together as a united Nigeria, then NIGERIANS MUST RISE UP FOR NIGERIA. But if we must not, #RegionalismIsTheAnswer It is not just a PDP thing. It should be a clarion call for all Nigerians at home and in the diaspora. Because this administration will not just kill our hard earned democracy, it will plough us back into wicked dictatorship, with the way it's going.. |
