The nPDP faction in the All Progressives People's Congress has accused the federal government of blackmail.
The group accused the presidency of not being interested peace talks.

The group also showed displeasure in the withdrawal of the security aides of the Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives.

A statement made available to Naija News by the spokesperson of the group, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, CON, reads:
"The public may recall that there have been ongoing talks between members of the former nPDP, the APC and the Presidency in recent days."

"Nigerians may further recall that a team from the former nPDP led by Speaker of the House of Representatives, His Excellency Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara and four others, were to meet with the Vice President, His Excellency Prof Yemi Osinbajo today."

"However, while we are truly and earnestly committed to achieving reconciliation, harmony, truce and cohesion in the APC as we approach the 2019 general elections, it is appears that the Presidency is not interested in the talks and that they may have been negotiating in bad faith."

"We were alarmed that immediately after our meeting with the Vice President last week, the presidency misrepresented  what transpired at the meeting by trying to blackmail some of the principal actors involved in the discussions in a national daily."

"Similarly, the leadership of the party (APC) went ahead to ratify  all the Congresses from ward, local governments, states and zonal  where many of our members have complaints, effectively presenting us with a fait accompli.
The persecution of our members using state security apparatus have continued unabated."

"We recognize the powers of the Police to conduct criminal investigations but by rushing to the public with the issue even when they have unfettered access to the leadership of the National Assembly suggests an attempt to undermine, caricature and humiliate the institution of the legislature."

"It appears that there is a fouled and toxic atmosphere and environment of intimidation and threat to life in which we now find ourselves which may no longer be conducive for members of the former nPDP to continue with the talks."

"Given the unfolding events in the last 24 hours, where the President of the Senate, His Excellency, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and His Excellency, Alhaji Abdulfatah Ahmed, the Executive Governor of Kwara State , both of whom attended the meeting with the Vice President on Monday 28 May, 2018, have suddenly been accused of sponsoring armed robbery by the Police under the directives of the Presidency."

"Similarly, on Saturday, June 2nd, 2018,  the Department of State of Services (DSS) also suddenly withdrew more than half of all the security details attached to the  presiding officers of the National Assembly under questionable circumstances."

"The nPDP leadership has decided to  brief our members on the unfortunate development and get a fresh mandate if good faith returns to the discussions."

Nigeria can never move forward with this kind of drag him down by any means attitude. Does it mean nobody can openly criticise this government without being framed up? Things are really getting out of hand.

"It appears that there is a fouled and toxic atmosphere and environment of intimidation and threat to life in which we now find ourselves which may no longer be conducive for members of the former nPDP Nigeria to continue with the talks."

You cannot suffer from start, finally get small democracy and it seem things are looking up and *gbam* you have buhari and start retrogressing..

2019 election seems like one that would have bachelors eve... "sign of relief party"

This is the best time for them to leave APC for good, nothing worth dying for, if the original members of the APC don't want you in the party anymore why trying to make yourself stay, once beating twice shy

This is what I call original use and dump!!!
I can't stop laughing.....oh my schest

Gang up leading to going down.

Let them go back to their source.........back to the basis but I believe pride will not let them do that.

My advice to them..........if you don't know where you are going; you should know where you are coming from........and if you don't know either way, then.......DIE

Mtcheeeeww! Go back to where you came from!

I wonder what they are still waiting for? just shows that they all rode on the popularity of PMB to where they are now. If they are so sure of themselves and their political worth, why can't they just decamp back to PDP and slug it out in 2019. Me think they are so confused of what do now

Now, this is what I call, "the best emerging news, ever!" Let the two sides go their separate ways, so that each can answer its father's name, pure and simple.

Yep, let all sides meet at the polls. After all, that's the basis of democracy. The current patch-patch, insincere arrangement has actually served more to hold down the extent of the developmental progress the Federal Government would otherwise have made by now, IMHO.

Good luck, everyone, and may the side that's destined to be better for our society, win.

Implosion implosion implosion. APC on the brink!

Let them scatter

These people didn't waste so much time like this when they left PDP infact they left PDP to APC a year plus to election. Now 8months to election they are still drag footing of leaving APC it shows they all lack balls and rode on PMB back to victory in 2015 those from the North that didn't join APC and remained in PDP all lost their elections, people Babangida Aliyu, Sule Lamido, Shema. If these nPDP decamp back to PDP or any other party they'll never get re-elect come 2019 they know this and the reason why they're still in APC negotiating for a deal but bad for them PMB is not interested because he knows they all won by Sai BABA slogan.

Yours truly couldn't have articulated what you've said any better, KenOne, good thinking!

Furthermore, these "complainers" have had the whole of the National Assembly (very crucial in getting a government's program going) in their selfish vice grip, been doing whatever they want with the nation's purse while conniving with the opposition, and are still telling barefoot lies that they've been marginalized? What insensitivity!

All the Judas in Apc must face their nemesis. You did it to Jonathan and buhari learned.

Finally! their selfishness is at play... 2019 is going to be fun... Nigeria has had enough! God help this nation amen!

Turncoats! Serves the whole lot of them right as they couldn't stop and look at the bigger picture. Today, they're damned if they do and damned if they don't! After bringing in the ant infested wood what do they expect?

Shebi Jonathan was too much of a weakling for them? Now even their structures n machinery have been taken over by bigger, more dangerous beasts than themselves - the fulani bastards in power. Unfortunately, the common man will bear the brunt of this evil. One can only hope that Mother Nature intervenes in the way only she knows how to.

who cares? if you folks think you have electoral number and value, then leave .

Well to be perfectly honest, in my humble opinion, of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my point of view, but also by looking into this matter in a different perspective and without being condemning of one's view and by trying to make it objectified, and by considering each and every one valid opinion, I honestly believe that i completely forgot what i was going to say.

Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government, the major problem PMB has is that he can’t stand criticism/ other peoples opinion.

I hope he doesn’t win because if he does, we are going into full autocracy

You obviously need a brain revamp. Buhari can’t stand criticism but he as been putting up with Fayose n Ipob insult right from inception.

Who among Ebele or Obasanjo is half as good a democratic as Buhari judging from the electoral fraud they perpetuated or the governors they illegally removed. Buhari is not a Democrat my foot, beta watch the jargons you say on this forum or people will take you to the cleaners for this naivety that resemble outright “foolishery”.

Buhari was voted in to correct the wrong of the previous administrations, I know better so no one can take me to the cleaner, if you’re up for a voice convo, I’m game.
Magu alone is enough proof that PMB doesn’t respect the rules of law but again you’ve your own view and I have mine, can’t force mine down your throat and vice versa
