That APC’s Parallel Ward Congresses Of Crisis

"As for the ward congresses held recently across States by the APC, the rate at which there were parallel processes, sets the stage already for very controversial days ahead in the party. For instance, which faction exactly in the Kwara APC will represent Kwara APC when the APC eventually goes for its much-anticipated national convention? Lagos APC allegedly had parallel congress too. In Delta APC, Keyamo is crying foul already. In Akwa Ibom APC, Godswill Akpabio is crying foul already. The crisis in Kwara APC, Lagos APC, Delta APC, Akwa Ibom APC are just few examples of the various States where APC is not settled within itself at the moment."

"Undeterred by the obvious few bad eggs surrounding the former Vice President in person, that are giving his supporters 'bad and bitter supporters experience', the support groups of the former Vice President who have adopted him as their hero, come what may, have started rallying each other again with their personal resources, across the country already, not knowing if they shall be abandoned when it matters most again, like it happened to their deepest of personal and group pains in 2019. For them, inspite of the bad eggs around the former Vice President that are demoralising his supporters via show of obvious abandonment and lack of care and reward in his name; for the love of Nigeria, 2023 is 'Atiku O’Clock' as the tenure of Buhari, the bride of '12 million Northern votes' winds down. For them, if Joe Biden of USA can do it in November 2020, Atiku will do it in February 2023.

"For many of them, it is about time the Northeastern axis of Nigeria produces a President for Nigeria, and in Atiku, the poor fatherless boy from Adamawa, who over the years, rose from nothing to something and became an established businessman via hardwork and belief in himself, they have found a presidential material. For those who long after the unity of Nigeria, they have found a 'wazobia' in Atiku and for that they want Atiku to be President of Nigeria in 2023."

"Nigerians have every reason to come up with a countdown to the exit of APC from Government. Under the APC, Nigerians have witnessed unbearable levels and forms of hardship. The cost of goods in the market is skyrocketing by the day. The Naira is fast-losing value in the foreign exchange market. The insecurity in the land today under APC is another strong indication that the APC has indeed failed Nigerians. The rate of insecurity in the country right now is so much so scary and so worse that worrisome enough, so-called bandits are able to bring down fighter-jets."

…..The monarch said Mr Okorocha would be decorated as the Otunba Asoludero of Iselu Kingdom on September 19.


The Eselu of Iselu, Akintunde Akinyemi, has said the philanthropy of the immediate past governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has earned him a chieftaincy title in his cabinet.

The Ogun monarch made this known through a statement he personally signed and sent to PREMIUM TIMES on Monday.

The monarch said he would decorate Mr Okorocha, who is currently the senator representing Imo West in the National Assembly, as the Otunba Asoludero of Iselu Kingdom on September 19.

According to the monarch, the recipient of the title has over years exemplified a track record of unifying people of different tribes across the country through his actions, deeds, and philanthropical gestures.

He noted that the awardee who recently bagged a traditional title in Daura, Kastina State, from the Emirs in President Muhammadu Buhari’s homestead is a bridge builder.

“Despite the happenings in the country, we have been able to identify a de-tribalized Nigerian who is concerned about the well being of every Nigerian irrespective of their colour, tribe and religion.

“We hold Senator Rochas Okorocha in high esteem for that which he recorded in Imo state as a former governor and the lofty heights he has attained through the Rochas Okorocha Foundation that has offered no fewer than 25,000 less privilege and orphans free scholarship from primary school to university education.”

“We are optimistic that this new task will set Oja Odan, Ogun State, and by extension Yoruba land into greater heights,” he said.

The Eselu also said Mr Okorocha has pledged to establish a school in the border town for the less privileged and orphans, a gesture he said would help improve the standard of education within and around the town.

"#ResetOgun is Hon. Segun Showunmi’s thoughts on how Ogun can be better governed, but today, owing to the fact that the thoughts are now a bank of ideas now enough to site a Dubai in even the most backward State in Nigeria, #ResetOgun is now in itself, a compendium of a workplan that will make Ogun a perfectly-governed State when put into practice."
