₦airaland Forum

17Ebiscoo:
The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is yet to agree on a venue for its party’s presidential primaries scheduled for October 6.

The party’s Board of Trustees (BoT) and the National Working Committee (NWC) different positions became evident at the inauguration of the party’s National Convention Planning Committee on Monday in Abuja.

This followed a sharp disagreement between the chairman of the Board of Trustees (BoT), Sen. Walid Jibrin, and the NWC.

Inaugurating the committee, PDP Deputy National Chairman (South) Elder, Yemi Akinwonmi, said that the party leaders had consulted widely on the venue and agreed for Port Harcourt, Rivers.

“On the issue of venue, the party set up a committee headed by Ambassador Ibrahim Kazaure and they went round the South-South Zone and South-East Zone before coming out with the choice of Port Harcourt for us”, NAN quoted him as saying.

“As in acceptance, the National Working Committee (NWC) has consulted widely with the PDP Governors forum, we have consulted widely with the BOT, caucus of the party and today it has been jointly accepted that we will converge on Port Harcourt, in no distance time for the National Convention.”

Akinwonmi added that the international community had expressed their interests in the party primaries.

“Particularly, they want to come and watch the process that will lead to the emergency of our flag bearer, because by the grace of God our candidate will be the next President of Nigeria.”

However, Jibrin, in his remarks said that the party had yet to make final decision on the choice of venue for the convention.

“Even though the Deputy Chairman said the issue of venue had been concluded, I want to say that the issue of venue is still on and is not concluded.

“Because there are many suggestions on the issue of venue. We look at all suggestions and I assure you that the issue of venue will be resolved.

“But for now, we are working round the clock to ensure that we have a very suitable venue accepted by everybody.

“I want to say that every one of us should come together and ensure that we have a venue suitable to all of us.”

Speaking, secretary of the convention committee and Ebonyi Governor, Dave Umahi, said “I think the working committee and the BOT need to settle this.”

Chairman of the convention committee, Ifeanyi Okowa, also speaking on the matter said PDP was ready to host the convention in any state eventually agreed on.

“I believe that at the end of the day, nobody will have any cause to complain.

“We do understand that the assignment that you have given us is about the most important assignment in the history of this party at least for this year.

“All of us believe that the only way forward is for the entirety of the party to stay united and focused. And as such, as members of the PDP, we cannot afford to disagree on any issues.

“The thing that is needed is for a free and fair primary to be conducted for all our aspirants. And we are very definite that we will get it right.”

UjSizzle:
Nne I only brought that up because you talked about the afterlife and peace.
If we talk about the possibility of neglecting God by being carried away by the affairs of this world, then the rich are also tempted.
Or all those beautiful women throwing themselves at you because of all that money?

Everyone, rich and poor alike are subject to temptations. They just come in different ways.

true talk

UjSizzle:
Look at it this way;
This is Nigeria.
We have politicians.
Politicians are rich.
There is corruption.
Money is embezzled by the rich politicians.


You define 'pettiness' by your standard. For a person earning a comfortable salary of about #100,000 monthly, stealing a bar of soap or #1,000 is petty; taking #1,000,000 isn't.
To a man barely making #200 per day, #1,000 isn't petty.

I'm being realistic here. The standard of measurement for what constitutes temptation varies as a person climbs the social/income ladder.

you are right

LMAyedun:
See you at the top then.

hi hope you are still climbing climbing

uboma:
Picture this scenerio...

You are dating this guy and you go out of your way to do things for him. he is in school and he has no sponsor. You support him with money, clothes and food from time to time. How would you react when after years of assisiting this dude and hoping that upon graduation from school, securing a job, that he will tie the marital knot with you, he finally opens up to say that he intends marrying another who is pregnant for him? Will you still be interested in trying to woo him? Maybe you will. If at this point, you still have hopes that the table will turn around to your favour, then you are not in love. Love isnt blind. The signs are very obvious that he doesnt love you so why hang on?

you are rig

Jovanna:
