press9jatv: Our Members Are Under Increasing Attacks Of APC Thugs, Osun PDP Again Raises Alarm
•••• tasks security agencies to arrest the situation before it degenerates into a bigger crisis
We are once again constrained to call the attention of the public to the relentless campaign of violence unleashed on members of our party and indeed innocent members of the public in Osun State by the All Progressives Congress (APC). The latest of the despicable act was the attack on Wasiu Adeleke, a PDP member in Ila local government, at about 1:00am on Saturday.
The assailants, who are sponsored by Obawale Adewale, the APC House of Representatives candidate for Ila/Boluwaduro/Ifedayo and Lateef Adebisi Jayeola, the APC candidate for Ila State Constituency, swooped on armless member at the dead of the night, inflicting on him serious injuries.
This attack, as with those before it, was part of a calculated plot to intimidate and scare our members and supporters ahead of the conduct of the general election. The APC are afraid of the resolve of Osun people at the poll, and want to deploy violence to make it impossible for voters to come out and exercise their franchise.
Such is the level of desperation of the APC whose record of misrule has caused them enormous disinterest and undisguised disaffection by Nigerians . But we must warn that there is limit to how much of this barbarity Osun people can take, and will resist this attempt to cow them.
This is why we have to charge the Police and other security agencies in the state to be alive to their responsibilities in ensuring the safety of our members and Osun people as a whole. By now and with all the warmings by our great party, it is expected that security agencies would have risen up to their responsibility and go after the hoodlums imported into the state by the APC.
Failure of the security agencies to track and apprehend criminals terrorising Osun people, particularly PDP members in the guise of election, will be devastating for the peace of the state as people will be forced to defend themselves from these mindless attacks. This is not something anyone will want and for that, the security agencies in the state should tame APC thugs.
We are therefore calling on Osun people to be at alert and stay alive to their security of their immediate community as we draw close to the general election. The show of desperation of the APC is nothing but the last kick of a dying horse that will surely be placed into the dustbin of history where they rightly belong at this time.

But the state is under the leadership of pdp inside your house you dey cry fowl
Jnkay: Tinubu is surrounded by fake people including fake bishop, fake urchins, fake name, fake certificate, fake parents, fake age. He has stole all the taxi payers money in Lagos to pay people to win election.
He removed Ambode because he refused to pay him 50 billionaire every month. He is a crook.
If he had predicted towards your candidate you will call him true man of God. That is why man no fit be God
PassingShot: Nigeria accused me of fraud with the Ministry of Health. As you yourself know, both in Abeokuta and Abuja I lived in your houses as a Senator. In Lagos, I stayed in my mum’s bungalow which she succeeded in getting from you when you abandoned her with six children to live in Abeokuta with Stella.
I borrowed against my four-year Senate salary to build the only house I have anywhere in the world in Lagos. I rent out the house for income. I don’t have much in terms of money but I am extremely happy. I tried to contribute my part to the development of my country but the country decided it didn’t need me. Like many educated Nigerians my age, there are countries that actually value people doing their best to contribute to society and as many of them have scattered all over the world so have many of your children.
I can speak for myself and many of them; what they are running away from is that they can’t even contribute effectively at the same time as they have to deal with constant threats to their lives by miscreants the society failed to educate; deal with lack of electricity and air pollution resulting from each household generating its own electricity, and the lack of quality healthcare or education and a total lack of sense of responsibility of almost every person you meet. Your contribution to this scenario cannot be overestimated.
You and your cronies mentioned in your letter have left the country worse than you met it at your births in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Nigeria is not the creation of any of you, and although you feel you own it and are “Mr Nigeria” deciding whether the country stays together or not, and who rules it; you don’t. Nigeria is solely the creation of the British. My dear gone Grandmother whose burial you told people not to attend, was not born a Nigerian but a proud Ijebu-Yoruba woman. Togetherness is a choice and it must serve a purpose.
As for Nigerians thinking I have their money, when it was obvious I was part of the Yar’Adua (government’s) anti-Obasanjo phenomenon that was going on at the time. The Ministry of Health and international NGOs paid for a retreat for the Senate Committee on Health. The House Committee on Health was treated exactly the same way. The monies were given to members as estacode and the rest used for accommodation, flights and feeding. While the Senate was on the retreat in Ghana, the EFCC asked the House Committee to return the monies they received for their retreat and asked us in the Senate to return ours on our return which I refused, as it was already used for the purpose it was earmarked for in the budget that year which was to work on the National Health Bill.
The House Committee had not gone on their retreat. I did nothing wrong and my colleagues and I on the retreat did our work conscientiously. I asked the EFCC not to drag my colleagues into it and I am proud I suffered alone. As is usual in a society where people who are not progressive but take pleasure in the pain of others, most Nigerians were happy, not looking at the facts of the matter, just the suffering of an Obasanjo.
As the people that stole their millions are hailed by them the innocent is punished. When the court case was thrown out because it lacked merit even against the Minister, no newspaper carried the news. The wrongful malicious prosecution of an Obasanjo was not something they wanted to report; just her downfall. But it really wasn’t about me, it was about right and wrong in society and every society gets the fruit of the seeds it sows.
How do you think God will provide good leaders to such a people? God helps those who help themselves. I have realized that as an Obasanjo I am not entitled to work in Nigeria in any capacity. I am not entitled to work in health which is my training, or in any field or anywhere in the country or participate in any business. I have learnt this lesson well and there are societies that actually think capable, well-educated people are important to their society’s progress. Apparently, unless I am eating from the dustbin, Nigerians and possibly you will not be satisfied. I thank God it has not come to that based on God-given brains and brawn.
When I left Nigeria in 1989 for graduate studies in America, you promised to pay my school fees and no living expenses. This you did and I am grateful for because, working in the kitchen and then the library at University of California, Davis and later, working on the IT desk and later as a Teaching Assistant at Cornell gave me valuable work ethics for life. I wouldn’t have it any other way. As a black woman in the early 21st century, I have achieved much and done more than most. My wish is that black girls all over the world will have the capacity to create their lives, make mistakes, learn from it and move ahead.
Moving back to Nigeria, thinking I wanted to serve was obviously a grave mistake but one brought about by the tragic incident of April 20, 2003. This was the day five people were shot dead in my car. The mother of the children was an acquaintance I had met only one day before the incident.
We had attended the same high school and university but she was there ten years earlier than I. She had also studied public health in the UK as I had in the US. It was these coincidences that made us connect on our first meeting and then she decided to visit on the Saturday of the election of 2003 when the incident occurred. I am scarred for life by that incident and I know the mother was too as we both looked back to see two men on each side of my car shooting.
I understand her trauma and her behaviour since then can be judged from that. Nigeria is a nasty place that pushes people to lose their compass. I participated in the campaigns leading to the elections that day, more because this was my first experience of electoral process in Nigeria. Growing up there were no elections and I was too young in the 1979 and 1983 elections. It was interesting to see democracy at work. When Gbenga Daniel who I campaigned for offered me a job, I probably would have declined it, if not for the memory of the dead.
I felt I had to engage in making the country progress and to avoid such incidences in the future. I don’t need to tell you or anyone what kind of governor and person Gbenga Daniel is. As usual when I found out, you would not listen to my opinion but found out for yourself. I also campaigned for Amosun for the Senate in 2003. I have had some wonderful Nigerians do good to me, I will never forget the then Minister of Women Affairs, who saw me talking in the crowd at a campaign event and was alarmed and said “bad things can happen to you out there, I will give you one of the orderlies assigned to my office to follow you”. This was the police man that died in my car that day. I never really thought bad things would happen to me, I moved around freely in society until that shooting scarred me and I accepted a police detail. I was constantly scared for my life after that.
You called me after your vengeful letter as usual, looking out for yourself and thinking you will bribe me by saying the APC will use me for the Senate. Do you really know me and what I want out of life?
Anyone that knows me knows I am done with anything political or otherwise in Nigeria. I have so much to do and think to make this world a better place than to waste it on fighting with idiots over a political post that does no good to society. That letter you wrote to the President, would you have tolerated such a letter as a sitting President? Don’t do to others what you will not allow to be done to you. The only thing I was using that was yours was the house in Abuja where I left my things when I left the country. I eventually rented it out so that the place would not fall apart but as usual you want to take that as well. You can’t have it without explaining to Nigerians how you came about the house?
As I said earlier, this is not about politics but my frustration with you as a father and a human being. I am not involved with what is currently going on in Nigeria, I don’t talk to any Nigerian other than friends on social basis. I am not involved with any political groups or affiliation. You mentioned Governor Osoba when you spoke to me, yes I was walking down the street of Cambridge, Massachussets a few months ago, when I looked up and saw him reading a map trying to cross the street.
I greeted him warmly and offered to give him a ride to where he was going. This I did not do because I wanted anything from him politically but because that is how I was raised by my mother to treat an adult who I really had no ill-will towards. Some said he was part of the people that manipulated the elections for me to lose in 2011. I don’t have any ill-will to him for that because I think they did me a favour and someone has to win and lose.
I had told you I wasn’t going to run in 2011 but you manipulated me to run; that was my mistake. Losing was a blessing. As usual you wanted me to run for your self-serving purpose to perpetuate your name in the political realm and as the liar that you are, you later denied that it was you who wanted me to run in 2011.
In 2003 I ran because I wanted to and I thought getting to the central government I will be able to contribute more to improving lives and working on legislation that impacts the country. I found that nothing gets done; every public official in Nigeria is working for himself and no one really is serving the public or the country.
The whole system, including the public themselves want oppressors, not people working for their collective progress. When no one is planning the future of a country, such a country can have no future. I won’t be your legacy, let your legacy be Nigeria in the fractured state you created beca USA.use, it was always your way or the highway.
This is the end of my communication with you for life. I pray Nigeria survives your continual intervention in its affairs.
Sincerely, Iyabo Obasanjo, DVM, PhD

Where is iyabo obasanjo now how did she go on exile after the letter hmmmmmmm?
Kingsmeal: Olisa Metuh former PDP National Publicity secretary has hit back at Arthur Eze over his comment on HE Peter Obi.
In a Facebook post, the former PDP Chieftain lampooneed the Anambra born Billionaire over his anti Obi comments.

Why is it that people that has one way or the other have corruption case against them are the ones supporting Peter Obi. Is there something we don’t know
post=119328241: Kylian Mbappe's father in 2018: “At first, I wanted my son to play for Cameroon but, someone at the Cameroon Football Federation charged a sum of money that I didn’t have to make him play. The French didn’t charge anything.”
This is how terrible corruption has affected Africa! Imagine all the stars African nations would have had if they didn't ask players to bring money before selecting them to play.
Until we stop seeing every opportunity as source of riches rather prosperity we can’t move forward.
Don't ever blame any player of African origin for playing for European nation. Embolo was asked for bribe but he didn't have money so he went to play for Switzerland, he scored against Cameroon, his motherland in the World Cup and Africans came out to curse him!
Until we change our attitudes, "pay before you play", African football will forever remain where it is!
[quote author=onthehill post=119238383]Labour Party's presidential candidate, Peter Obi has condemned the killing of Labour Party State House of Assembly Candidate for Onuimo Local Government Area in Imo State, Hon. Christopher Eleghu.
According to IGBERETV report, Hon. Christopher Eleghu (aka WASCO) was shot and killed on Thursday by unknown gunmen who also set his house and cars ablaze.
Taking to his Twitter handle, Peter Obi wrote;
I believe things would have been better if obi has condemned the killings of citizens in the east earlier than staying at the fence saying they are agitating. No he can condemn politicians death rather ordinary citizens. Your trust in politicians you on your own
Smithkafors: I don’t get it….what is she doing in the car at that moment?. Why is she not moving the car?.
Why are there no demarcations to stop cars from crossing when a train is approaching?.
Why did the train not stop?.
This country is finished and some young people that can’t differentiate their left from their right wants to finish it totally.
Don’t post most time. Don’t forget it’s a train and you can’t just stop the speed at once’s even a trailer takes time to stop. It’s wrong for the car to pass rail line. We should stop pushing blames call spade a spade
If una like no vote competent leaders who is agile to move around the country and speak directly to the people. Go vote Dubai or UK unhealthy landlords.
Tinubu the most investigated politician yet no case against him. Even obasanjo tried nothing, Jonathan tried nothing. Baba enjoy your peace me I support your ideology
AntiTerrorist: •As Obasanjo, Adebanjo, others eulogise Nwodo at 70 The Middle Belt Forum (MBF), said, yesterday, that the North Central zone of the country is committed to supporting a president of South East extraction for the purpose of fairness, equity and justice. This is as former President, Olusegun Obasanjo; Leader of Afenifere, Pa Ayo Adebanjo; former… •As Obasanjo, Adebanjo, others eulogise Nwodo at 70
Now some people will not say that Peter obi is making the country divisive. If it’s other aspirants they will complain. Peter obi do your thing, tinubu do yours atiku do your too. Best strategist wins
I love this tinubu too play the game for them they should go to churches he too went to Muslims if Muslims are to interfere the same way Christian’s interfere in todays politics I don’t believe Nigeria will exist some Christian’s are the ones causing crisis they are also crying foul.
If Labour Party supporters are smart and sensitive as the claim and they can make things better in their own ideology they should first investigate the matter and tender apologies to Nigerians to proof they are better rather some will still make rubbish comments and acts follishly
If all this people can be supporting I can see that tinubu has make more men to be successful than any other aspirants. If you see people that are supporting tinubu you will see that they are supporting based on impact. Other aspirants I won’t mention name should list names of people they have impacted.
With this act by some unduly sect of people I pray who ever they support to tarnish the image of Nigerians and abuse other people that oppose them. The candidate they support will never become the leader or president of Nigeria in JESUS name.
