November 19, 2022 Press Statement 2023: Don't Bother about Run-off, Atiku Will Win at the First Ballot , Campaign Assures INEC The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation has assured the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) not to bother itself with any preparation for a run off in the 2023 Presidential election as the Presidential Candidate of the People Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, will win at the first ballot. Our campaign counsels INEC not to listen to diversionary narratives by apologists of the deflated All Progressives Congress (APC) who are ostensibly seeking ways to derail the election, having realized that their Party has been rejected. The campaign urges INEC to deploy its resources towards conducting a free, fair, transparent and credible election that will be generally accepted by majority of Nigerians. Our campaign is confident that by every indices and data available, our Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, will win the Presidential election of February 25, 2023 at the first run. The APC has seen defeat ahead as Nigerians are quickly reaching a consensus on the fact that the APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is not electable. We urge Nigerians to remain resolute in their determination to vote in their choice, Atiku Abubakar, and take every step necessary within the ambit of the law to protect their votes.

$460,000 forfeiture: Probe allegations before joining Tinubu’s campaign, PDPPCC tells Buhari ***says claims may taint President's integrity Barely 24 hours to the flag-off of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign in Jos, Plateau State, President Muhammadu Buhari, has been advised not to join the trail without first investigating the circumstances surrounding the forfeiture to the United States government of the sum of $460,000 by the flag bearer of the party, Bola Tinubu. The advice was given by the Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organisation who reasoned that if the allegations of narcotic involvement were proved to be true in the end, it will impugn on the President's integrity. President Buhari is expected to grace the Jos rally to lead the campaign for the ruling party's candidate. The spokesman of the campaign organization, Kola Ologbondiyan, who gave this admonition in a phone chat on Monday, recalled that the Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo, who is also the spokesman of the APC Presidential Campaign, had admitted that there was a forfeiture of money by Tinubu even though he linked it to tax issues. According to the Campaignorganization, whether the forfeiture was linked to drugs or tax, there was no doubt money was taken from Tinubu’s account. The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization therefore noted that given the implications that might follow, the right thing to do is for President Buhari to probe the allegations before presenting Tinubu to Nigerians. The campaign organization maintained: "There are suggestions in public space that President Muhammadu Buhari should distance himself from the candidate of their party on the ground that it can rubbish whatever integrity is left of President Muhammadu Buhari. "So, the natural expectation being that the government of President Buhari can go and even investigate the allegation against Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in the sense that a serving minister in the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari who is also the spokesperson of the campaign organization of Bola Tinubu had already admitted the fact that there was forfeiture. But he said it was a taxation. "So, whichever way you look at it, money believed to belong to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was taken out of his account, a whopping sum of $460,000. There’s no argument of any sort. "And as we speak now, there are also report in public space Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu claimed to have worked in Deloitte. But there are reports now that Deloitte has denied the fact that he ever worked with them. "So, I believe that all this needs to be investigated by President Muhammadu Buhari before he begins to go round to present Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as a candidate. "Because if at the end of the day he doesn’t carry out a proper investigation and all the issues that are in public space come out to be real, how is he going to run away from it? Or how is he going to run away from them?" The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization warned that with just a few months left in his tenure, President Buhari should not to allow himself to be dragged into any drug controversy. "You don’t expect a President Buhari who was elected into office on account of his integrity to go and support a candidate who is being alleged to have forfeited money to the United States government on grounds of alleged link to drug issues. "You don’t expect a president who is leaving office, who has how many months to leave office to be dragged into a drug cartel. These issues of drug cartel, these are implications that might arise," the campaign organization declared. Recall that following the recent receipt of a certified true copy of the US order to forfeit the amount, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had hinted that it may approach the court to determine if his participation in the 2023 poll will not violate the Constitution and Electoral Act. The National Publicity Secretary of the main opposition party, Debo Ologunagba, who addressed a press conference on the issue in Abuja on Sunday, disclosed that the party is keeping its options open. The party spokesman, who was fielding questions, on the attempt by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to distance itself from the case that emanated from a court in Chicago, Illinois, had been asked whether it will head to court should the electoral body fail to act. He said: "We are very hopeful. What we decide to do as a party, we don't consult you, we don't tell you. When we started the case against Osun, we didn't tell you, right? "So, we will look at the issue and take decisions and actions based on the exigencies of the times, the requirement and the need to protect our constitution and our electoral process. So, you leave that us." Speaking specifically on a possible court challenge, Ologunagba, stated: "Every option is on the table. And so, I will leave it like that." He debunked insinuation that a court in the United States is not of competent jurisdiction, explaining that countries are encouraged to domesticate international conventions which Nigeria is signatory, and such has led to local laws including the one money laundering. "Second, trafficking in narcotic is one of such. That's why we have the NDLEA and other agencies of government to enforce that because they have been domesticated, they are international conventions. "Those crimes are described as international crimes to which every member state of the United Nations is a signatory and they are obligated to be like. "And our constitution is also clear about that. It talks about court or tribunal in Nigeria and it says 'by any court or any other court' which by my interpretation and by extension of this constitution, is any other court that is consistent with those international conventions and international crimes. "We will study it and any appropriate action that needs to be taken, it will be taken. Like I said to you, every option is on the table," he declared as he read from the proceedings of the court suggesting an indictment. Reading from a prepared text earlier, the PDP spokesman, said: "It is no longer news that the Presidential Candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu is irredeemably and hopelessly ineligible to contest the February 2023 Presidential election having been reportedly indicted and subjected to criminal forfeiture judgement for a narcotic related offence by a United States Court in Northern Illinois. "Nigerians are however appalled by the lame attempt by the APC Presidential Campaign which, after admitting that there was a $460,000 drug money criminal forfeiture judgment against accounts traced to the APC Presidential Candidate, is now desperately trying to pull a wool over the eyes of the Nigerians people and our democracy institutions. "Seeing that it is technically out of the Presidential contest and further distraught because it cannot also field candidates at all levels in the 2023 general elections due to its illegal and unconstitutional congresses, the APC has resorted to unleashing hoodlums to attack PDP Presidential Campaign rallies and other innocent Nigerians going about their legitimate endeavors as witnessed in Kaduna and Borno States, in a bid to trigger crisis and scuttle the elections. "There are already apprehensions in the public space of unrefuted allegations that the APC is behind the orchestrated attacks on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices in Ogun and Osun States. "The plan of the APC is to instill fear in the citizenry, disorganize and weaken other political parties, frighten, hamstring and immobilize INEC from conducting the 2023 general elections. "The APC must note that its schemes, denials, threats and resort to violence cannot help Asiwaju Tinubu. By the provision of Section 137 (1) (d) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) Asiwaju Tinubu is not eligible to contest the Presidential election in Nigeria. "Section 137 (1) (d) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) provides that 1) A person shall not be qualified for election to the office of President if: (d) He is under a sentence of death imposed by any competent court of law or tribunal in Nigeria or a sentence of imprisonment or fine for any offence involving dishonesty or fraud (by whatever name called) or for any other offence, imposed on him by ANY COURT or tribunal or substituted by a competent authority for any other sentence imposed on him by such a court or tribunal. "For clarity, forfeiture is means “something to which the right is lost as for commission of a crime or misdeed, neglect of duty, or violation of a contract” "It is instructive to note that trafficking in narcotic is an international crime to which all nations are obliged and mandated to apprehend, prosecute and enforce any judgment or Court Order imposed on offender. Nigeria being a signatory to international convention on trafficking in narcotic is obliged to enforce any Order or judgement imposed on any offender by a competent court ANYWHERE in the world. "For emphasis the US Court “Ordered that the funds in the amount of $460,000 in account 263226700 held by First Heritage Bank in the name of Bola Tinubu represent proceeds of narcotics trafficking or were involved in financial transactions in violation of 18 U.S.C. S1956 and 1957 and therefore these funds are forfeited to the United States pursuant to 21 U.S.C. S881(a)(6) and 18 U.S.C S981' "Having been sentenced and fined by way of criminal forfeiture of $460,000 drug money in a criminal suit filed pursuant to the United States Criminal Code, Asiwaju Tinubu cannot by virtue of Section 137 (1)(d) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) seek office as President of Nigeria."

November 13, 2022 Press Statement Stop Hiding Behind A Finger, Respond to Allegations of Forfeiture of $460,000 to the US- Atiku/Okowa Campaign Tasks Tinubu The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation tasks the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to come out boldly and defend his reported link to the whopping sum of $460,000 he forfeited to the United States rather than hiding behind a finger and sending his media aides to attack other Nigerians. Our campaign insists that the burden before Asiwaju Tinubu is to cleanse himself of being linked to illicit funds by a court in the United States rather than searching for scapegoats and pointing index finger on others whereas the remaining are pointing to his direction. Is it not absurd that rather than proving his innocence by personally telling Nigerians the truth about the forfeiture judgment, Asiwaju Tinubu is allowing his aides, who were not principal witnesses in the crime, to issue threats and vituperations on Nigerians? This accounts for why the campaign is singing discordant tunes on taxation while Asiwaju Tinubu himself is labouring to dismiss the case as "a rumour." This is very laughable! Our campaign wants Asiwaju Tinubu to know that Nigerians are still waiting for him to address the very serious issue of alleged link with narcotics for which a forfeiture judgment was imposed on him.

Drug Cartel: Atiku/Okowa Campaign Dismisses Tinubu Alibi, Says Forfeiture Establishes Link to Drug Money The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization after a review of issues arising from the linking of the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, to a drug cartel and surmised that the forfeiture of $460,000 by Tinubu to the authorities of the United States of America establishes a connection to drug money. Campaign maintains that our nation can not afford allowing a candidate with the remotest link to a drug cartel near the Presidential Villa. We insist that the mention of Tinubu’s name in a crime bordering on drugs and consequent upon which some monies were forfeited raises a moral question and issues of security threat. How for instance will the nation cope with a President who will consistently be blackmailed by a drug cartel? It is also disturbing that Asiwaju minders are running around an ocean of excuses from where they have been fetching what they believe will convince Nigerians. It is deductible that the $460,000 removed from the account represented the illicit fund that accrued from the drug. That accounts for the reason why no other sum was removed from the account contrary to argument from Tinubu’s minders that the amount represented a tax. But if indeed, like his minders have said, Tinubu “took responsibility” for drugs money, it goes with saying that he must also take responsibility for the consequences of that action. |

8th November 2022 Press Release Gov. Udom Emmanuel Never Contemplated Resigning As Chairman of PDP Presidential Campaign Council– Atiku/Okowa Campaign The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization states that the rumour being bandied to suggest that the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Udom Emmanuel, resigned or contemplated to resign his appointment as the Chairman of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council is fake news. Our Campaign assures Nigerians as well as all pro-democracy and development partners that such idea is not in the contemplation of the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Emmanuel. Governor Udom Emmanuel, this afternoon at the Flag-off of the PDP Governorship Campaign which held at the Nest of Champions Stadium in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State Capital, declared that the rumour is a lie “from the pit of hell” and that he remains the Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council. The appointment of Governor Udom Emmanuel as Chairman of the PDP Presidential Campaign Council was predicated on his belief and commitment to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the ideals of our founding fathers as well as his unwavering confidence in our Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as the leader that has the required capacity to lead the charge to rescue and rebuild our nation. Governor Emmanuel is effectively and committedly leading a successful campaign that will take our Party to victory and will not be distracted by the wishful thinking of the enemies of Nigeria. The Atiku/Okowa Campaign therefore urges Nigerians to ignore such shenanigans and fake news coming from the enemies of our nation who are desirous of causing confusion in the polity with a view to derailing the electoral process. We caution those behind this wicked rumour to desist from such and know that they are fighting a lost battle as Nigerians across board are already rallying with the PDP and cannot be swayed by fake news.

7th November 2022 Press Release …Says APC Candidates Afraid to Face Nigerians The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization mocks the Presidential Candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima for running away from national debates for fear of facing probing questions from Nigerians. Asiwaju Tinubu has a record of avoiding debates and public interrogations following a mortal fear that Nigerians will put him to task on his alleged stinking corruption record, reported proxy treasury looting, obvious incompetence, ethnic bigotry as well as his alleged masterminding of APC’s anti-people policies that wrecked our nation in the last seven and half years. The APC Presidential Candidate and his running mate cannot face debates for fears of having Tinubu’s claims of building Lagos State publicly exposed as a hoax as he cannot point to any legacy development project he achieved in the State as Governor. Asiwaju Tinubu is also aware that he cannot face the public to answer questions bordering on his past, particularly the question on his ancestry, the Alpha-Beta tax saga; as well as his alleged stranglehold on the business, politics and lives of Lagosians from 1999 till date. He is afraid of being exposed of fleecing Lagos State for eight years through multiple and harsh tax regimes with nothing to show other than rulership by brawl, breeding of touts and raising criminal street gangs, only to turn around now to attempt to claim the achievements of succeeding governors as his. Nigerians will recall that the APC Presidential Candidate did not attend the signing of the National Peace Accord in Abuja; he failed to turn up at Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industries, he avoided the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) Conference and shunned the televized debate organized by credible media houses and Civil Society groups in Abuja on Sunday to attend a marriage bash in the same nation’s capital. Is it not strange that Tinubu, who claims to be a progressive, is dodging debate, a hallmark of progressivism? Asiwaju Tinubu and Kashim Shettima have turned themselves into a butt of public joke over their reported inability to even defend the scripts that were written for them with spurious claims and litany of fake promises which Nigerians have appropriately tagged as ‘Renewed Hopelessness’. Moreover, it is apparent that the APC Presidential Candidate could not detail his running mate to represent him at the Abuja debate ostensibly because of Sen. Shettima’s abysmal performance at the last Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industries outing. Besides, the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign is challenged to come clean on allegations in the public domain that Shettima is avoiding the debates for fear of awaiting probing questions on the alleged compromising of security as Governor of Borno State during which about 270 students were abducted in Chibok. Also, under his watch as Governor, there are unanswered questions over series of deadly terrorism attacks in the Borno State. Is Sen. Shettima afraid of explaining to Nigerians why his government did not heed to the alleged security warning and directive by the Federal Government to relocate the schoolgirls to a safer location which would have averted the abduction? In shunning public debates, both Tinubu and Shettima have shown that they have nothing to offer and that they are in the Presidential race just for personal aggrandisement and not to serve Nigerians. On the other hand, Nigerians are celebrating the dazzling performance of the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar and Vice-Presidential Candidate, Sen. Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, in public debates, media interviews and Townhall meeting where, in readiness to take over the reign of power in May 29, 2023, they have given excellent answers to questions and proffered practicable solutions to the myriads of problems brought to our nation by the APC.

You moved to Europe few years later in 2011 - let's say you moved to Europe 5 years after meeting him... that means his first child will be 8 years old. 2022 is 11 years later, it means the first child will be 23 years old. A 23 year old male is already a man and there is high possibility that he is done with schooling. Also a man that sponsored you abroad in 2011 cannot be extremely poor that he can't afford good education for his kid. See your story is fabricated, e no make sense |

October 28, 2022 Press Statement 2023: Atiku/ Okowa Campaign Punctures, Dismisses Fitch Report on Tinubu The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization has dismissed as speculative a report credited to Fitch Ratings and peddled by the Tinubu Campaign Organization conjecturing an unsupported direction for the 2023 Presidential election. From all analysis, the said report is merely contrived, imaginary and completely illusory; It is a trivial opinion of ignorant interlopers which does not conform with any empirical or substantiated indicators regarding the direction of the 2023 Presidential election in Nigeria While we do not want to conclude on the opinion already widely held in the public space that the report was procured or not emanating officially from Fitch, especially, given the desperation and devious antecedents of the Tinubu Campaign Organization and the All Progressives Congress (APC), it is however important to state that these conjectures are direct opposite of the reality on ground. It is important to note that the APC Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has no electoral fighting chance before the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa. Contrary to the report being peddled by the APC, Asiwaju Tinubu is battling with trust issues, stamina concerns, massive open rejection by majority of voters across the country, mass exodus from his APC into PDP due to the abysmal failures of his party in addition to his (Asiwaju’s) self-confessed selfish motives for being in the Presidential race. In reality, unlike Atiku Abubakar, Asiwaju Tinubu has no strong, organic and reliable political base anywhere in the country and cannot get the required 25% in majority of the States of the federation. Across the north, the APC Presidential Candidate does not have a stable political structure with the daily decamping of hordes of Nigerians in the region who voted for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 and 2019 now crossing over to the PDP to support Atiku Abubakar in the 2023 elections. In the south, Asiwaju Tinubu has no solid base in the South South and South East where he has been roundly rejected. Even in the South West, the former Lagos State governor has been demystified as evidenced in his party's devastating loss in the last Governorship election in Osun State; a state considered to be his ancestry home, to the PDP. Asiwaju Tinubu has been booed in States of the South West and he has lost his political allies, cultural institutions and foot soldiers in Lagos State and other parts of the South West because of his selfish posturing and trust issues. Moreover, the APC Presidential Candidate has not demonstrated the desired capacity, experience, stamina as well as selfless disposition to lead a nation like Nigeria. The reality of the 2023 Presidential elections is that the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar has the highest organic followership cutting across all demographies like age, class, ethnic, sectional and even political affiliations in the country as Nigerians believe in his proven capacity, competence, experience, readiness and will power to lead our nation at this point. Nigerians should therefore disregard the said Fitch Report as it does not reflect the reality of the 2023 Presidential election in Nigeria. Signed: Kola Ologbondiyan Spokesperson, Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization. |
October 23, 2022 Press Statement Tinubu Has No Record of Keeping Promises The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization has told the people of Kano State to disregard the fluke promises made to them by the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as Tinubu and the APC are not known to keep their words. The Atiku Campaign however said its Candidate, Atiku Abubakar and running mate, Ifeanyi Okowa, are promise keepers who had always and will continue to fulfill all the promises they have made to Nigerians. Dismissing Tinubu's assertion on giving Nigerians 100 percent of his time, Atiku Campaign pointed out that Asiwaju Tinubu has proven to be unreliable and unavailable for governance as he has been spending his optimal time out of the country for undisclosed reasons. On the other hand, the PDP Presidential Candidate is a full time personality both in words and actions as he has demonstrated in and out of office. The people of Kano have not forgotten all the fake promises made to Nigerians by the APC, where Asiwaju is National Leader, including bringing the naira to the same value with the US dollar, building one refinery each for the first four years of President Muhammadu Buhari 's administration; giving loans to undergraduate students and paying N5000 to aged men and women. Atiku Campaign noted that almost eight years down the tenure, not the littlest of these promises has been fulfilled. Continuing, the Atiku Campaign said it is heart-rending that Tinubu can return to Kano to release another set of fake promises whereas his campaign covenant of 2015 and 2019 are like water poured into a basket. We are not surprised that Tinubu is only making token promises without detailing how they will be achieved. He wants to boost agriculture and link international markets with commodity without addressing the troubling issue of insecurity, which is primal on Atiku Abubakar's list. Tinubu has failed to provide solutions to rising costs and the exponential inflation which the APC that he leads has caused our nation. Nigerians must be cautious of beguilers and rent-seekers who are now showboating as managerial experts. The question which Tinubu needs to answer is why did he not make his sweetcoated solutions to our national challenges to President Muhammadu Buhari in the last seven years? Is Tinubu saying he deliberately railroad President Buhari to failure for his personal interest? Signed: kola Ologbondiyan Spokesperson, Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization |
Tinubu's Empty Streets of Kano, Atiku's Huge Support in Edo, Niger, Katsina Signpost APC’s Extinction in 2023 Spokesperson of Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbondiyan, asserts that the empty streets that stared at the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu, in Kano, at the weekend, signposts the road to extinction for the APC ahead of the 2023 election. |
…Says Presidency Not for Selfish Entitlement Seeker Spokesperson of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbondiyan, has said that the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, cannot and should not be trusted with power as the President, given his overtly exposed selfish motives. Ologbondiyan asserted that from Tinubu’s persistent self-centered assertions, haughty claims, annexation and brazen entitlement messaging, which he further displayed during his interaction with stakeholders in Kaduna on Monday, it is clear that the APC Presidential Candidate is being driven by the lust to appropriate the nation as his personal estate and not for the national interest. Nigerians watched with utter dismay as Tinubu, as usual, avoided questions and discussions on critical and imperative national issues, which confirms that he is in the Presidential race for reasons other than the wellbeing of Nigerians. The APC Presidential Candidate has not been forthcoming on issues of transparency, accountability and answerability in government, devolution of power, state police, federal character and other key issues that will enhance democratic tenets for the benefit of Nigerians; a development that further confirms a selfish intention against the inclusive interest of our nation. Perhaps this explains why the APC Presidential Candidate has not composed a campaign organization; a foretaste of exclusionist agenda. Even his proposed economic policies were generalised without addressing the specific problems of galloping inflation and its attendant unbearable rising costs, unemployment, high interest rates and the abysmally low purchasing power of Nigerians. Nigerians must therefore resist such tendencies as any government built on what the APC Presidential Candidate ostensibly represents will amount to creating a fiefdom for a self-conceited ruler over our nation. Never in our national history have Nigerians seen a politician with this level of self-entitlement. It is laughable that since he became the APC Presidential Candidate, Tinubu has sought for endorsement under every guise forgetting that 2023 election is a referendum against the mass failures of the APC in governance. Nigerians must note that it will be a disaster for our country, Nigeria, if we allow a Presidential Candidate that will 'alphabetize' our revenue generating agencies such as Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA), Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Plc among others to take over the reign òf governance. |
The spokesperson of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organization, Kola Ologbondiyan, has said that the overwhelming acceptance of the PDP Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as recorded again at the Kaduna rally, has thrown his opponents into panic mode. The opponents who have now resort to sending armed thugs to disrupt PDP's campaigns in Kaduna as well as the closure of media organizations in Zamfara State are displaying their fears over the acceptance of Atiku Abubakar and his laid out plans for Nigerians ahead of 2023 elections. It is on record that Atiku Abubakar remains the only candidate who has taken his message of hope to five (5) out of six (6) geo- political zones and, who has received huge turn-out at every port of call so far. Some of the presidential candidates like that of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, are yet to compose their campaign organization in a manner that will enable them to engage constructively with the Atiku campaign and Nigerians. It is important for Nigerians to note that the APC and its presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, have nothing to offer other than their records of failures for the past seven (7) years. That accounts for their inability to kickstart their campaigns as well as their resort to campaign of calumny, intimidation and violence. The APC Presidential Candidate should know that these shenanigans cannot stop the resolve of the people to vote out the APC and elect the pan-Nigerian and unifier, Atiku Abubakar. Certainly, Nigerians will not support a leader who wants to turn a rotten situation to a bad one. |
The Spokesperson, Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign, Kola Ologbondiyan, has assured Nigerians that the anguish and pains they are currently facing under the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration will come to an end on May 29, 2023, when Atiku Abubakar is sworn in as President. Ologbondiyan, who stated this while interacting with some PDP youths in Abuja, on Wednesday, said the PDP and its Presidential flag bearer, Atiku Abubakar, are very concerned about the pains and sufferings the APC has imposed on Nigerians in the last seven years. He said the mammoth crowd that received Atiku Abubakar in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State as well as other venues of PDP Presidential campaign is a pointer to the acceptance of the Atiku/Okowa Presidency ahead of the 2023 presidential election. "Among the arrays of Presidential Candidates, only Atiku Abubakar has the practicable plan on how to end the pains, the hunger, the starvation, the economic woes, the lower purchasing power and the sense of hopelessness which the APC administration has brought upon Nigerians. "Atiku Abubakar has the experience of office, unlike the learners on parade, having been the Chairman of the National Economic Council. Nigerians can recall that those years, between 1999-2007, were the glorious years of our nation when we achieved unprecedented economic growth. "In those years that Presidents elected on the platform of the PDP governed, life had meaning as our naira had value against competing foreign denominations; purchasing power was high; teachers had access to repayable loans and could build comfortable accommodation while those who desired to buy cars could afford them," he added. Ologbondiyan charged Nigerians not to return those who, within a space of seven years, dragged our country from the “Top to the Bottom” among the comity of nations. He urged Nigerians to continue to rally with the PDP and Atiku/Okowa ticket adding that only such “presents the solution to the myriads of challenges confronting our nation today.” |
The immediate past National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, has reacted to the return of funds by some members of the National Working Committee allegedly paid into their accounts by the National Chairman of the party, Iyorchia Ayu, saying the money was legitimately earned and that it has been the practice in the party. The former spokesman disclosed this while fielding questions on the Arise TV morning Show program on Friday. Recall that at least six of 19 members of the NWC had returned funds paid into their accounts after alleged approval by Ayu. The amounts range from N28.8million to N36million, depending on the recipient’s position. Those who have refunded included Taofeek Arapaja, Deputy National Chairman South; Stella Effah-Attoe, National Woman Leader; Dan Orbih, National Vice Chairman, South-South. Others were Alli Odefa, National Vice Chairman, South-East, Olasoji Adagunobi-Oluwatukesi, National Vice Chairman, South-West; Setonji Koshoedo, Deputy National. The development is said to have unsettled the PDP top hierarchy, including the camp of the presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, who see the unfolding events as not good for the party, especially with the commencement of campaigns. But speaking on the issue, Ologbondiyan said it had been the practice in the PDP to pay members of the NWC allowances as they do not receive monthly salaries. There is no way this issue that we are discussing now would not have been debated, going by experience, in the National Working Committee, with minutes taken, and it will be agreeable to all members of the NWC what each member is going to get. “So it is totally strange that people are talking about money legitimately earned as if it is a bribe. I will be surprised if any member of the NWC comes up to say that the issue was not discussed at the committee; that there was no agreement in the committee. |

The Ijaw National Development Group/Ijaw Peoples Assembly, leading Ijaw group, has congratulated Professor Benjamin Okaba on his emergence as the President of the Ijaw National Congress. The INDG message was made known through a statement that was jointly singed by its President, Benjamin Nanaghan, and its Secretary, Dortimi Kester, on Thursday. The group’s congratulatory statement can br seen below; “The President, Ijaw National Congress, Ijaw House, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State. On behalf of the Ijaw National Development Group/Ijaw Peoples’ Assembly (INDG/IPA), we wish to congratulate you and your fully studded Management Team on your globally acclaimed victory as the President of the Ijaw National Congress, the inauguration which took place on the 14th May, 2021. The Ijaw Nation has elected you not because of your professorial laurels or academic excellence; rather, among the many likely favourable reasons, your “Ijawpatriotism” is indisputably at the core of Ijaw people’s choice for you to lead them at this challenging times of our national history. Pls remember Sir, that this victory we now savour is not for you alone but for the hapless, deprived and neglected Ijaws in the Niger Delta and the furthermost helms around the globe. The Ijaws have been robbed and are still being robbed of their land, their wealth, their fauna and flora, their right to safe and sustainable environment and of mineral resources that God has bequeathed to them. And with the recent award of the Marginal Oil Fields while the matter is pending before a court of competent jurisdiction is a clear further attempt to emasculate and enslave the Ijaw Nation by the Federal Government and it’s Agencies. It is an unmitigated travesty of justice to undertake the award of 23 Oil Blocks of Marginal Oil Fields without first commissioning a clear plan for the remediation of the already damaged environment resulting from the inhuman processes and activities of oil and gas exploration. We salute your courage in accepting this daunting and herculean responsibility. We on our part in the Ijaw National Development Group/Ijaw Peoples’ Assembly promise to support you at all fronts as we together craft our own Bill of Rights to liberate ourselves from this excruciating pangs of man’s inhumanity to man. Ijaw National Development Group/Ijaw Peoples’ Assembly was formed by our Convener Mr. Dennis T. Banigo in October 2017 with broadened scope and objectives to include an organizational structure that defines more clearly the cultural identity, heritage and mores of the Ijaw Nation. We aspire to strengthen, deepen and broaden the routes to finding answers to the Ijaw question to achieve economic integration and freedom for the Ijaw wo/man anywhere they live in the universe. Mr. President of the Ijaw National Congress (INC), we of the Ijaw National Development Group/Ijaw Peoples’ Assembly are ready to work in sync and in fullest cooperation with you to lift the Ijaw Nation to its glorious position in the comity of states and nations. We look forward to your re-subscription to membership of INDG, please. Thank you Sir and God bless Ijaw Nation. Benjamin Nanaghan Dortimi Kester President, INDG/IPA Secretary, INDG/IPA” #End
