Politics › Labour Party Releases Statement On Indicted And Expelled Former Chairman by GLeesMODEL(op): 3:31pm On Nov 19, 2017
Labour Party Releases Statement On Indicted and Expelled Former Chairman Alhaji A.A. Salam

We are baffled by the media reports credited to the chief press secretary to the Hon INEC Chairman Mr Rotimi Lawrence that misrepresented the list of Labour Party NWC that emerged at the 2014 Convention as a recognition to the suspended party chairman Alhaji A A Salam by INEC. Alhaji A A Salam was removed from office for embezzlement and diversion of party funds. 
‎
Following a petition to the NWC by Dr Chris Enemuo LP governorship aspirant (now candidate) in the Anambra State Gubernatorial Election , the NWC agreed to convene meetings of the Party organs.  A disciplinary committee was set up to look into the petition and to give both Alhaji A A Salam and the treasurer Ms Oluchi Opara an opportunity to respond to the petition. It is on record that they both refused and neglected to appear before the committee . 
The NWC and NEC endorsed the special Convention where Dr Mike Omotosho emerged as the new chairman and INEC was given proper notice. 

INEC witnessed the convention and is yet to issue a report on the Convention.  It is important to state that all actions taken by the party to expel Alhaji A A Salam were taken in line with the provisions of the Labour Party 2009 Constitution . Article 17 : Removal from office ; The National Chairman of the party may be suspended or removed from office on a vote of no confidence passed by at least two thirds majority at a National Convention convened solely for the consideration only of such motion. And Article 19: Party discipline.; All members of the Labour Party must maintain a commendable and exemplary level of discipline in both their public and private lives and conduct. Having regard to the fact that a substantial attraction of the party is derived from the element of moral authority, the party will impose disciplinary measures for any misdemeanor aimed at tarnishing its well nurtured image and credibility.
‎
The list released by INEC showing the working committee as per the 2014 Convention remains intact devoid of factions excluding only Alhaji A A Salam and Ms. Oluchi Opara who were removed for the high crimes of embezzlement and diversion of party funds. The Police has already released an interim report to confirm the crimes.

VIDEO: Popular Reverend, Father Mbaka Makes Exonerates Tony Nwoye Of Cultism Rumours


Hon. Tony Nwoye has be enmeshed with accusations of been involved in cultism  from several quarters in Anambra state ahead of the 18th November election. Following these wide spread allegations, a popular spiritual father from the south east, Rev. Mbaka made some revealing statements. He was also received and prayed for by Man of God Ebube Muonso at his Church at World Youth Gathering programme

Watch Video Of His declarations:


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0KHjgUWJso

As a way to assure his supporters and fans of the determination to justify himself and clear his name, the APC governorship Aspirant Tony Nwoye has released a statement in that regard.

Read Below:

THANK YOU, NDI ABAMBRA

The past weeks have been as exhilarating as it is daunting. The feeling so far generated by our campaign across the length and breadth of the State is, in all honesty, nothing short of a reassurance that our people are indeed seeking for a fresh air of progressive leadership.

I sincerely want to express unreserved appreciation to the Anambra electorates, who have to me become the best examples of an enlightened electorate. The reception across the 326 wards was warm, the expectations high and the resolve total.

I have realised that the sentiments peddled across most media spaces do not mirror the reality of our enormous grassroot support base. This is another reflection of the high moral rectitude and meticulousness of the Anambra voter who is not swayed by devious propaganda.

Yesterday was the last day for campaigns according to the laws guiding this process. As such, I  have dismantled all my campaign machineries accordingly. However, it is of utmost importance that I express this appreciation to my supporters and team for the good works thus far. 

We have worked and the harvest cannot be any less. As we anticipate the  result of our efforts, we must not fail to be actively involved in the all important business of tomorrow.

I therefore urge all my supporters to come out en masse to exercise their franchise. I have avowed to a peaceful process devoid of intimidation and malpractices, and urge my supporters to do same.

We are unwavering in our conviction that victory shall be ours to celebrate.

Thank you immensely and God Bless us all.


Signed
Hon. Dr Tony Nwoye , MFR.‎

Nwulu who appreciated the kind gestures of his aides while cutting his cake, said he did not want to make it a loud celebration but a small reception with his workers and family members, as he truly appreciates the show of affection from his legislative assistants 

Some of the aides present are his personal assistant Yusuf Oriowo, Chief of Staff Musa Suleiman, Media Aide Alex Nwankwo and others. ‎

Politics › Labour Party NWC Dispels Alleged INEC Recognition Of Expelled Former Chairman by GLeesMODEL(op): 2:57pm On Nov 15, 2017
Labour Party NWC Dispels Alleged INEC Recognition of Expelled and indicted Former Chairman Abdululkadir Abdulsalam


The crisis that has continuously ro‎cked the leadership of Labour party f‎ollowing the convention held on the 3rd of October 2017 under the watch of the party's NWC has taken a new twist as the indicted and expelled former chairman Abdulkadir Abdulsalam is allegedly still parading himself as the National chairm‎an.  This was revealed according to certain publication where Abdulsalam had insisted he remains the national chairman of the party, stressing that no group had power to remove him. The publication accredited to him as been recognised by INEC which according to the party's constitutionally set up NWC discloses that such is not only false but outrightly misleading.

‎It could be recalled that panel of the National Working Committee of Labour Party set up to investigate former chairman Abdulkadir Abdulsalam over allegations of criminal conspiracy, breach of trust and financial misappropriation to the tune of about N1.3billion naira generated during the last General election found him culpable of the offences as revealed by the Police interim investigation reports alongside his cohorts. Chief Calistus Okafor, Deputy National Chairman (Sou‎th) and 8 others made the complaints which was investigated and confirmed that Abdulsalam was indicted and removed as the National Chairman as approved by the party's hierachy ‎

Claims attributed to DailyTrust that Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman Mr Rotimi Lawrence Oyekanmi‎ said that the commission recognises the expelled former chairman as the authentic Chairman as against the constitutionally endorsed and elected Chairman Dr. Mike Omotosho is erroneous as INEC commission does not conduct election for the party rather the commission accepts candidate(s) approved by the party.  National Publicity Secretary of the Dr Omotosho, the Labour party new and authentic National Chairman who served in similar capacity with the removed former National Chairman Abdulsalam, Barrister Ebere Ifendu, told cross section of journalists that she is not aware of such recognition by INEC. ‎
“I am not aware of any such recognition by INEC. We had a successful convention on October 3rd and INEC witnessed it. The only report is an interim report by the police indicting Salam (Abdulsalam) on the criminal allegations against him,” she said.

Politics › Nigeria Youths Embrace "Not Too Young To Run Bill by GLeesMODEL(op): 12:45pm On Oct 29, 2017
[sub][/sub]The bill titled “Not Too Young To Run” initiated by Hon. Tony Nwulu, which bothers on youth involvement in governance and leadership has indeed gotten the nods of several youth agencies and social groups as one of the few bills that encapsulates the plights of youths and promotes the feats which youths can achieve.

Amongst other proactive engagements and constituency projects of Hon. Tony Nwulu, the House of Rep Member Representing Isolo/Oshodi Constituency in Lagos State, “Not Too Young To Run Bill” seeks to extract the resources hidden in the strengths of youth vibrancy, as well as the peak of intellectual exploration in youth-hood. 

Several youths have embraced this bill and arrangements are being concluded to promote the acceptance of this bill in some other states, so as to establish a soft landing for youths in politics and leadership, says his media aide during a cross section with journalists at Abuja youth summit event.

However, as the people of Isolo/Oshodi constituency treks boldly into the visionary promiselands built by Hon. Nwulu through the several ongoing projects in the constituency, which cuts across human resource development, redefining the availability of social amenities and other innovative programs in the constituency, may his sacrifices for youths and Nigerians be written in gold.

Politics › Northern States PDP Chairmen Endorse Agbo, Maibasira, Kabiru For NWC by GLeesMODEL(op):
YOU ARE OUR CHOICE, NORTHERN STATES PDP CHAIRMEN ENDORSE AGBO, MAIBASIRA, KABIRU FOR NWC



It was a peaceful gathering of political heavy-weights yesterday in Abuja as Northern States Peoples Democratic Party Chairmen ratified the unanimous tickets granted some aspirants of the party from the North Central Zone, the aspirants are Dr. Agbo Emmanuel from Benue State for the post of Deputy National Secretary, Barr. Kabiru Usman from Kogi state  for the post of National Publicity Secretary and Mr. Abdullahi Maibasira Hussaini from Niger State for the post of Financial Secretary. 

In his erudite presentation, Dr. Agbo who spoke on behalf of the aspirants maintained that, their enduring years of political experience had offered them enough to excel in the positions they were going for. He reiterated that, it was first better to garner support from the home front before they could enjoy support from support from other zones in the country. 

Furthermore, Dr. Agbo was resolute that, the support offered them by the Northern Chairmen would not be betrayed. He said, the interest of the party was key, especially at a time when the party needed expertise and experience to do well and reclaim the mandate lost in the 2015 elections. 

On the demand for a Chairman from the North-Central to confirm that, the candidates were the unanimous choices of the zone, Kogi State Chairman, Barrister Tanko Beji maintained that, the candidates had been tested over time and trusted to effectively represent the area and to do well. He further charged the candidates to represent the integrity and position of the north.

Hon. John Ngbede, Benue State Chairman of the PDP had raised concern over the issue of candidates emerging from no where to contest against the already endorsed candidates and further called on the Northern Chairmen to work as a team with collective intention. They also resolved to check internal crisis within the party, especially as regards Governors who decamped from other political parties and on coming to the PDP attempted to dissolve the already standing party structures in their states.

Politics › Celebrati The Former First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan At 52 by GLeesMODEL(op): 11:51am On Oct 25, 2017
25th October is here again and it is another opportunity to celebrate an icon of selfless service, a voice for the voiceless and a humanitarian with a passion for women and the young.

At 52 the former first lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, stands tall as a colossus. Her achievements are monumental, one of such achievement was the 35% affirmative action for women which was adopted by the government of the day and the party in power. The former first lady made history and for the first time in Nigeria we had more women in elective and appointive positions.

 A brief history of this colossus, will suffice. She was born in the Southern part of Nigeria, Rivers State to be precise on the 25th of October 1965, where she had her primary and secondary school education.

Mrs Jonathan proceeded to Rivers State College of arts and science to obtain an NCE certificate in mathematics and biology in 1989. Her desire for further education took her to University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) where she obtained a degree in Biology & Psychology. She currently has 4 Honorary Doctorate degrees, one of which is a Honorary Doctorate degree from a South Korean University. The awarding institution, Hansei University, said they honoured Mrs. Jonathan because she had worked “hard for many good causes.”

“She is a humanitarian whose life is dedicated to working for the less privileged in Nigeria and Africa particularly for women and children,” President and Chancellor of Hansei University, Sung-Hae Kim said.

”Her vision as the defender of the poor in Nigeria fits into Hansei University’s motto of a practising Christian. Now she’s part of our community,” Prof. Kim added.

Dame Patience Jonathan started her career as a teacher at the Stella Maris College, Port Harcourt and Sports Institute Isaka. She then moved to the banking sector in 1997. She served as Marketing Manager of Imiete Community Bank. After which she became a pioneer staff of the first community bank in Port Harcourt called the Akpo Community Bank. She returned to the classroom briefly again as a teacher. Eventually she was transferred to the Bayelsa State Ministry of Education, where she served until 29 May 1999 when her husband became the Deputy Governor of the state. On 12 July 2012, she was appointed as permanent secretary in Bayelsa state by Governor, Henry Seriake Dickson. Dame Patience Jonathan was honoured with the Knighthood of the Anglican Church thus the title Dame before her name.

While serving as the first lady of Bayelsa State In 2006, A. Aruera Reachout Foundation was founded with the aim of empowering women and young people to be self-sufficient. Her NGO A. Aruera Reachout Foundation has a medical unit which sponsors the treatment and surgery of children and some adults with heart conditions. The Foundation conducts Children’s Clinics periodically to diagnose the condition of each child that needs assistance. During these clinics, Consultant Paediatric Cardiologists from the National Hospital Abuja, the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital and the Apollo Hospital Chinnai, India evaluate the health condition of the children.


Those diagnosed with heart problems that can be successfully treated in Nigeria are referred to the National Hospital Abuja, while those with heart conditions that cannot be treated within the country are sponsored to the Apollo Hospital in India. The Foundation has technical partners in India, South Korea and America. Some very serious cases can undergo treatment in any of these countries.  Her NGO has also successfully trained over 4000 women and youths on different vocational skills.

The wife of the former British Prime Minister Mrs Cherie Blair and the First Lady of China, Peng Liyuan commended the former First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan’s commitment to improving the lot of women, through her NGOs.

Dame Patience Faka Jonathan has been recognized locally, nationally and internationally for her philanthropic work and political pragmatism. She received the "Beyond The Tears" International Humanitarian Award New York, USA, in 2008, for her role in the global fight against HIV/AIDS; the African Goodwill Ambassador Award (Los Angeles, USA, 2008) and was the recipient of the "Wind of Change" Award from the South/South Women’s Organization.

Dame Patience Jonathan’s selfless service to humanity and her passion for the downtrodden which resulted in the setting up of her NGO’s has without a doubt engraved her name positively in the sands of time. According to Aristotle “Of all varieties of virtue, liberality is the most beloved” no wonder Mama Peace as she is fondly called is loved by all.

On behalf of A. Aruera Reachout Foundation we wish you a happy birthday and many more fruitful years ahead. Congratulations!!!
