A youth group, under the auspices of Youths Ask for Goodluck Again (YAGA), has said that President Goodluck Jonathan, had reduced the vexed problem of unemployment in Nigeria by 20 per cent. The group also said there has been deliberate effort by Jonathan to check issue of nepotism and marginalisation, which characterised federal appointments in Nigeria. Director General of YAGA, . Abayomi Ogunnowo, at an interactive forum in Abuja, during the weekend, urged President Jonathan to seek re- election in 2015, based on his development strides in key sectors of the economy. Ogunnowo, said Jonathan deserves re-election, as his unbiased disposition to politics had over these few years, strengthened the country’s democracy. He, however, said the South-East and South- West ge-political zones ,had been worst hit by the pattern of inequality and selective marginalisation, particularly negating the federal character principle in the civil service. He said despite criticisms, the President has been very tolerant of the opposition and never acted in an overbearing manner towards other political leaders adding that the curbing of militancy in the South-South region brought about 50 per cent increase in oil production in the country. “Before President Jonathan took office,the distribution of federal resources, followed a disturbing pattern of inequality and selective marginalisation,depending on which geopolitical region controlled the Federal Government. “Arguably,the most marginalised was the South East geopolitical region,as a consequence of the outcome of the Biafran war. But the Niger Delta region also had a serious deficit in federal infrastructures as well,”he stated. Ogunnowo also carpeted some Northern political elites who had mounted serious opposition against Jonathan,saying all what the north did while in the saddle of leadership were incomparable to what Jonathan has achieved these few years. He said,”Contrary to the shrill political grandstanding of anti Jonathan northern political elites who have accused Jonathan of lack lustre performance in the north,the evidence reveals a roboust federal programme in that region as indicated in the Police University at Wudil,Kano State, remodelling of Aminu Kano International airport among others. “In terms of development,no one can honestly dispute the fact that President Jonathan has done more for the north in 4 years than any government led by a northerner since the end of Gen.Yakubu Gowon’s administration.” http://tribune.com.ng/news/news-headlines/item/17248-jonathan-has-reduced-unemployment-by-20-group |
By Hamza Danjuma The above question was asked by The Cable, the new but increasingly popular online newspaper in its analysis of the different aspirants on September 1, 2014, and I expected that the analysis will go all the way to answer the question. Perhaps the first question should be: Does the APC really want to win the presidential election next year? If they want to win, then, they must do their homework. As it appears today, there is nothing to suggest that they want to win. Any party that wants to choose a consensus candidate among several aspirants must use certain objective criteria devoid of selfish interests. To do so, the APC must ponder what the key issues are right now that are likely going to influence the direction of voting next year. In my opinion, there are four key issues today: 1.Nigeria has become dangerously polarized on the issue of religion caused directly by the Boko Haram phenomenon and President Jonathan’s divisive actions along those lines. This appears to be PDP’s main strategy for 2015 as the party’s big wigs continue to associate the APC with Boko Haram without bordering to back up their assertion with any evidence. It would also appear that the PDP has enlisted the SSS in this dangerous strategy considering the fact that Marilyn Ogar, the spokesperson of the SSS has started echoing that line too recently. The PDP has continuously referred to the APC as an Islamic party from the first day it was established. 2. Beating a sitting president has so far not been possible in Nigeria no matter how unpopular he is. To defeat particularly this one will require the mobilization of the entire country, in order to neutralize the rigging machine. 3. Jonathan has currently been roundly branded, and rightly so, as incompetent and unfit to govern, and therefore extremely unpopular but because of (1) above, that does not necessarily mean any APC candidate can defeat him. 4. The unity of the north shall also be key as this will determine whether a northern candidate can win in 2015. To defeat Jonathan in 2015, APC must field a candidate who has the capacity to unite the whole north and who can be supported by all the contending and power centres within the party. The credential of that candidate must also be such as to be able to neutralize Jonathan and PDP’s strategy of balkanizing the nation along petty religious lines in the 2015 election. So in determining which of the APC presidential aspirants comes closest to qualifying as a consensus candidate using these criteria, let us re-examine the names mentioned by TheCable viz Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Kwankwaso, Aminu Tambuwal and Sam Nda-Isaiah. I will also examine the prospects of Rochas Okorocha and Bukola Saraki • Muhammadu Buhari: Buhari is a very well-respected former head of state. He is straight as an arrow. His greatest strength is that he is very popular among the masses of the far North. But history has shown that politicians with such massive following among their people are held in suspicion in other parts of the country. Consequently, such people usually cannot garner the national appeal to become president. Very popular politicians of old who fall into that category and never became president include Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Mallam Aminu Kano and Dr. Joseph Tarka. That is the real reason Buhari lost in 2003, 2007 and 2011 and will lose again in 2015 if fielded by APC as its presidential candidate. Buhari’s case has also been worsened by the fact that his opponents have successfully branded him as a fundamentalist. Even though there is no evidence to support this, the perception has stuck. It does not matter who Buhari’s running mate is, that perception will stick. That is why in spite of Pastor Tunde Bakare, a well-known Christian clergy, being his running mate in 2011, he lost almost all of the Christian votes in Nigeria. Buhari’s supporters always brandish his over 12 million votes in the 2011 presidential election as the strongest reason he should be APC’s candidate, but they forget that of this more than 12 million votes, less than 250,000 votes came from the entire 17 states of the South and probably even less from the Christian North. This is what has led several to conclude that no structure can deliver Buhari to the presidency. With Buhari flying the APC flag, the APC would be playing directly into the hands of Jonathan and PDP. Buhari will get his traditional votes but will lose the Christian North and the Christian South. Jonathan will coast to victory easily with Buhari as APC’s presidential candidate. (There are other reasons Buhari may not even get the 12 million votes again. There is the Buhari fatigue. After contesting in 2003, 2007 and 2011, many people think he should not be contesting in 2015 ag ain. Many also believe that a 70-year old should not be contesting to be president especially for a man that was head of state 30 years ago, and there are still many others who think that Buhari, having publicly declared that he would not be contesting in 2015, has fallen short of his own standard of integrity to go back on his word. In spite of Buhari’s intimidating CV and anti- corruption credentials, he is far from being the ideal consensus candidate for the APC. Buhari’s APC candidacy will immediately polarize the APC and the party would have lost even before the race begins. But even though Buhari may not be able to win the presidency, he remains the biggest asset to the APC. • Atiku Abubakar: Atiku’s strongest point is the tons of money at his disposal to buy up the APC presidential primary, but if that happens, then the election would have been concluded for Jonathan. The President will defeat Atiku without even having to rig the election. Not many people both within the APC and outside think Atiku should be the APC presidential candidate. Buhari and Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu are unlikely to find it in their hearts to campaign for Atiku as the APC presidential candidate considering their past relationship. • Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso: Kwankwaso has done well as the governor of Kano State. He is one of the PDP governors who crossed over to the APC because Jonathan will not be keeping his promise of not seeking a second term and therefore would be denied the party’s ticket. But it will show the APC as an extremely unserious party to give its ticket to a politician, no matter how good, who simply crossed over into the party to get the ticket. If Kwankwaso gets the ticket, then the 2015 presidential election will be between PDP and New PDP. Even the PDP will laugh at the APC. And many original opposition politicians will remind themselves that in 2003, they had to virtually wrestle Kwankwaso to the ground in order to replace him as the governor of Kano State. Buhari and his followers in Kano will be reminded that in the 2003 governorship election, Kwankwaso, together with Obasanjo, tried to use the military to alter the peoples’ will. Kwankwaso will most certainly be a good president but giving him the ticket can break the party. He is also far from being the ideal consensus candidate. • Aminu Tambuwal: There haves been rumours of Speaker Aminu Tambuwal decamping from the PDP to the APC and contesting for the APC presidential ticket almost immediately. As The Cable said, his candidacy could satisfy the yearnings of a large section of the country for a generational shift, but it will simply be laughable for the Speaker, or anyone for that matter to officially decamp from the PDP to the APC tomorrow and the day after, he becomes the party’s presidential candidate. The Speaker cannot be a consensus candidate by any stretch of the imagination. • Sam Nda-Isaiah: As The Cable said, Sam Nda-Isaiah, the publisher of Leadership newspapers, is not a political heavyweight. He has never contested any election and has never occupied any public office, so no one knows how he might behave in public office. But his campaigners say that also makes him the only real face of change among all the aspirants since “change” is the APC’s slogan. It is probably true that no other APC aspirant can really claim to represent change as Sam. At 52, he is also one of the youngest aspirants and therefore a representative of the school of generational shift. As The Cable itself analyzed, being a Christian minority from the North could eliminate Jonathan’s key and pivotal support in the Christian North. Because of the activities of Boko Haram and President Jonathan’s divisive politics, no Muslim candidate would be able to receive northern Christian support. But Sam also has another critical advantage. Northern Muslims feel very comfortable with him in a way that they do not wit h some other Christian northerners such as Professor Jerry Gana, for instance. So Sam’s candidacy, in spite of his scanty political CV (according to The Cable), has the potential of uniting the entire North. His fresh face in politics with little political baggage and a popular South-west Muslim running mate can also deprive Jonathan of the entire south-west votes, since his candidacy can also neutralize Jonathan’s South-west Christian vote advantage. And the Muslims of the South-west will definitely not vote for Jonathan in 2015. Unfortunately the South-west which used to be insensitive to religion has changed. That is why for the first time there is a clamour for a Christian governor in Lagos State. The almost entirely Christian South-east zone will be turned into battleground states by both Sam and Jonathan with each picking up what they can. Ditto for the South-south even though Jonathan should be expected to win in his South-south zone in spite of Governors Amaechi and Oshiomhole. Sam’s major problem is that he does not appear to posses the campaign war-chest like the other aspirants.( Sam also has another vital edge over all the rest. It will be almost impossible for Buhari to support Atiku and other PDP entrants into the APC if they emerge candidates, but as Buhari’s “boy” and a member of the same tendency, it will not be difficult for Buhari to support Sam. It is public knowledge that the Leadership publisher has been one of the boldest and most consistent supporters of the former head of state since he joined partisan politics in 2002. In fact, he once joked during a media interview recently that he is the “original Buhari person, not all the current PDP people that now surround him and who had rigged elections against us in the past”. Atiku, Kwankwaso, Tambuwal and the APC governors would also have no problem backing Sam. • Bukola Saraki: The former governor of Kwara State also has age on his side and will also represent those with the thought of generational shift. He also did well as a governor so can be counted to be a good president. But he is hampered by a couple of issues. First, like Atiku, Kwankwaso and Tambuwal, he is of the PDP stock. In fact, in 2011, Atiku and Saraki were presidential aspirants on the platform of the PDP. The second is that he is currently under investigation by the EFCC. Even though the EFCC issue is clearly a tool of victimization of the Jonathan government against him, the APC cannot field a candidate with this unresolved problem. • Rochas Okorocha: The main issue against Rochas at this time is that the APC has technically zoned the presidency to the North in 2015. * Danjuma is resident in Hotoro Quarters, Kano. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/09/will-apcs-consensus-candidate/ |
Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC Prof Attahiru Jega yesterday faulted the use of hooded security men during the August 9 governorship election in Osun State. Beside, he spoke of how an attempt to rig the Ogun State governorship. Describing the trend as “worrisome, he said masked men would not be allowed for next year’s general elections as he also accused the security men deployed in OsunState of being “overzealous”. Department of State Security (DSS) spokesperson Marylyn Ogar admitted that some of the DSS men deployed for the election wore hoods. Many other hooded troops in military fatigue, whose identities were unknown, were also seen in action before and during the election. “Any security personnel deployed for the election must be someone identifiable,” Jega said during a session with local and international Civil Society Organisations, CSOs, involved in monitoring elections yesterday in Abuja. Jega added: “In recent times, we have witnessed an increased presence of hooded security operatives during elections. This is an emerging trend which is highly worrisome and which needs to be addressed in good time. Security agents who are deployed on election duties should not be masked, the doctrine of transparency requires that they should be identifiable. “We will not allow such persons during the 2015 elections. Any security personnel deployed for the election must be someone identifiable such that if anything happens we will be able to know who to hold responsible”, Jega added. Speaking on the overzealousness of some of the security men deployed, Jega said some adhoc employees of the commission and nine NYSC members, who were engaged as ad-hoc officials, were erroneously arrested and kept in detention for over 12 hours. He said that they were arrested around 9p.m on the eve of the election while on their way to the Registration Area Centres (RACs), which was provided for them by the Commission. “They were not released until about 6am the next day, a situation that almost disrupted the distribution of electoral materials in some areas. “It was sheer luck that we still managed to open the polling units early, otherwise, there would have been disaster. We took a serious view of that and reported the matter to all the appropriate authorities because at a point we became worried that some persons wanted to undermine our effort”. But Jega said the perceived over militarisation of the just Ekiti and Osun governorship elections, did not deter the voters from turning out to vote for their candidates. “In fact, the two elections proved that there was a high correlation between the massive deployment of security and the willingness of people to come out and vote. “Apart from over-zealousness on the part of some of the security men on the field, we discovered that people actually felt more secured to exercise their franchise. The key lesson our politicians need to learn from the two elections is that the era has gone when they relied on corrupt electoral officers or security agents to manipulate elections. “In this era, any politician that intends to win election must reach out and convince the voters, be it through ‘stomach-infrastructure’ or otherwise. The only guarantee to win election now is to let the voters come out to vote for you, which in turn means that you must first of all convince them on your credibility,” he said Jega alleged that some “unscrupulous elements”, attempted to use a software, to rig the Osun election won by Governor Rauf Aregbesola of the APC. “We discovered that some people had invaded our system with software that was reducing age on the register. Thank God that we discovered it before it was too late and had to put aside the register and produced another one, even though it was at a very high cost. “Despite the challenge, the Osun State election has been adjudged as one of the best we have conducted recently when judged by all variables for assessing a successful election. Though the election was not perfect, we did a lot to improve on the Ekiti election. “It is also worthy to mention that before the Osun election, security agents were able to identify thugs that were imported into the state by politicians. The security men successfully cordoned the building where the thugs were kept and prevented them from leaving the compound until the election ended.” Jega said over 70 per cent of the voters in Osun State collected their Permanent Voters Card, PVC, unlike in Ekiti State where only about 64 per cent of the voters collected the cards. On Adamawa by-election, Jega, said though it came as an emergency, the electoral body would do everything possible to ensure a free, fair and credible poll. He said that some of the prospective voters had been displaced from their homes because of the insurgency in the state, which is among the three under a state of emergency. “Nobody had planned for election in Adamawa State, but with the little time we have, we are preparing to make it much better than that of Osun,” Jega added. Likewise, the INEC boss said the Commission was seeking ways to reduce the high percentage of rejected votes as was witnessed in Ekiti and Osun states. ”It is a major issue that we have to look into because we received complaints that so many ballots were rejected on the basis that the thumb prints narrowly crossed the line. “The truth is that we have a rule that allows the electoral officer to reject such ballot. In some advanced countries, they consider whether or not about 50 per cent of the thumb print was inside the provided space. We did not want to allow the use of discretion by our staff, which was why we made the rule. However, in view of the complaints, we will study this issue of rejected votes and see what we can do about it.” He said INEC had concluded plans to increase the number of polling units ahead of the 2015 general elections, adding that all the polling units currently situated in private residences will be re-located to public places before the election. ”By 2015, we don’t want any polling unit to be more than 500 on average”, he said. The ‘Situation Room,’ organised by the Police and Legal Advocacy Centre(PLAC), is aimed at providing a platform for the electoral body to interface with the CSO’s. Reacting to Jega’s speech, Lagos lawyer Femi Falana (SAN), said: “Let the SSS which has performed very well in fighting the Boko Haram menace, face that national task and allow the police to carry out the duty of maintaining law and order during elections”

The deputy governor of Enugu State, Sunday Onyebuchi, who is currently facing an impeachment panel on Wednesday said the governor, Sullivan Chime, also operated piggery farms at the Government House. Giving evidence before the panel, Mr. Onyebuchi said the governor’s poultry was hurriedly evacuated shortly after the panel commenced sitting. Mr. Onyebuchi is accused of operating commercial poultry at his official residence and disobedience to Mr. Chime, in the impeachment notices served him by the Enugu State House of Assembly. However, the embattled deputy governor suddenly took ill while testifying at before the seven-member panel last week. Membership of the panel are Franklin Oraekeyi (Chairman), Ebele Eze, Anthony Iguh, fabian Uluakanwa, Okwuchukwu Aroh, Martin Onyemuru and Mercy Anyim. Mr. Onyebuchi revealed that the state government had budgeted for the maintenance of the poultry since 2011. The deputy governor who tendered the state’s budget between 2011 and 2014, said funds had always been provided for the poultry he operated. He insisted that he did not commit any offence that could warrant his impeachment and that the poultry farms he and the governor were operating were there before they assumed office in 2007. The deputy governor described all the allegations the lawmakers brought against him as false and baseless. Mr. Onuebuchi told journalists after he concluded his evidence that he had been able to tell the panel that the resolution purportedly adopted by the legislature was not a law. “I have always said that this is a straight forward matter. One is the allegation of operating a poultry farm. We have been able to put the message across that the House of Assembly resolution is not a law and the resolution was not made available to me,” he said. “We were able to make the point that there is also poultry at Government House and the poultry at the Government House was evacuated with the commencement of the panel proceedings.” “Today, I was able to present to the panel other evidence to show that there was poultry at the Government House. I got copies of Enugu State government budget for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and in each of these budgets, you have evidence of the allocation for Government House poultry and piggery and amount attached to it and I was also able to prove that the amount was released. If they said there was no poultry, then let’s know why we have all these provisions all these years.” On the allegation that he refused to represent Mr. Chime at the flag-off of the 2nd Niger Bridge by President Goodluck Jonathan earlier in the year, Mr. Onyebuchi said he played the video of the event by the African Independent Television, AIT, before the panel. He denied being communicated in person by telephone or by any other means to represent the governor at the meeting of the South East Governors during Mr. Chime’s vacation. He said, “He did not communicate to me in person, by telephone or whatever means. He never, while going on vacation that he will pass instructions to me through a third party and like I said, this is a straight forward matter and I believe the ball is in the court of the panel. “It is for them to decide whether to stand on the side of truth, on the side of justice which most citizens of Enugu State are asking for. If they believe like most people say that might is right, whoever has power is right, we will see by the end of the day. I have not committed offence that will justify being removed by impeachment. I started working with the governor in 2007 and if I was not obedient to him, I don’t think he will nominate me again for the second term to run with him for another four years. “Even when he was away on vacation in 2012 and 2013, I believe I represented him very well such that the letter he wrote to the House of Assembly when he came back, he commended me. I also received commendation from so many people; I also received commendation from the members of the state executive as well as members of the House of Assembly. I am hopeful that truth will triumph.” Below is the blow by blow account of the panel’s proceedings on Wednesday: DEPUTY GOV OF ENUGU STATE IMPEACHMENT INVESTIGATIVE PANEL PROCEDINGS ON 20 AUGUST 2014 …Details of how the same House of Assembly has been passing budgetary approvals for Government House poultry from 2011 to 2014 Before: 1.

Enugu is on the rocks right now as sources are saying Governor Sullivan Chime has told the deputy governor of Enugu State, Chief Sunday Onyebuchi, to forward in his resignation letter. According to Vanguard, the deputy’s wrong-doing is his choice to contest Enugu East senatorial election come 2015 against the governor’s choice, Chief of Staff, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo. The issue has escalated to the point where the house has been mandated to gather the necessary amount of signatures to impeach Onyebuchi. Sources say that 20 of the 24 lawmakers have already put down their signatures after being summoned to a meeting convened by Governor Chime at the Government house where he told them of the plan. A government house staff said : “The lawmakers just rose from their meeting held at the Governor’s Lodge and I can tell you that the two-third majority needed to remove the Deputy Governor has been obtained and the impeachment notice has been signed. ” Information Committee of the State Assembly Chairman and House Leader, Mr. SKC Udeokoye, was not available last night to confirm these reports as they failed to answer their phones. Another source told Vanguard that the plot has already intensified and the lawmakers are already set to start the process this week. Reports coming in states that the problem between the governor and his deputy began last year February, when Chime after being sick for over four months, had to medical issues. His deputy had called him and asked him to resign his position immediately. The source revealed: “There was an encounter between the governor and the deputy last Wednesday where they reportedly disagreed over the contest for the Enugu East senatorial election and other contentious issues between two of them. This incident was said to have been witnessed by the governor’s Special Adviser on Inter-governmental Affair, Rita Mba.” Then the governor started to list out the sins of Onyebuchi, which included refusing to represent him at the last meeting of South East Governors’ Forum despite being informed by the Chief of Protocol. Onyebuchi immediately debunked that he had willingly denied attending the mentioned event and said that Chime failed to tell him personally to show up and refused to take orders from a junior officer. The source continued: “The governor also frowned against the deputy governor’s suggestion to remove from office the Chief of Staff, Mrs. Ifeoma Nwobodo, during his absence last year, a development that forced him to return to the country, even when the doctors did not give him clearance to return to Nigeria at the time. “He also frowned against the deputy’s refusal to heed his earlier advice not to venture into the Enugu East senatorial race, accusing him of associating with the opponents of his government.” Onyebuchi feels he is being kicked out for his senatorial ambition, despite his loyalty to the governor since the past seven years and he said this to the governor during their confrontation. Then Chime lost it and in a rage of anger told the deputy to exit the Government House, or he will call his security men on him. Seeing that the issue was already getting off control, Onyebuchi left the office. Onyebuchi is reportedly aware of the impeachment process as he has been told by the PDP Chairman, who encouraged him to save face and pull the plug on his position as the deputy governor, but he rejected the idea even as his security entourage is being pulled out under his legs by Chime’s orders. This is not the first time Governor Chime and his deputy are in loggerheads, Chime had earlier destroyed Onyebuchi’s poultry farm, where he had stored over 3,000 birds. In that case Onyebuchi cried foul and compared the governor to a power drunk official, who only does what he wants and his judgement is influenced by anger and not reasoning. |
Mothers in the Southeast will meet to find a solution to the “baby factory” menace. The Ogbako NdiNne, gathering of mothers will hold at the Nike Lake Resort, Enugu on July 26. It is organised by Access Media Ltd, publishers of Working MOMs Africa Magazine a leading publication for working and career mothers. The Project Coordinator, Mrs. Mary Ikoku, said OgbakoNdiNne is designed to discuss motherhood, with reference to building a safe nation for mothers, infants and children in the Southeast. The theme of the maiden edition is: “The Baby Factory Conundrum” (A social discourse on the growing menace of the baby factory activities, its debasing impact on motherhood and the pain of forced motherhood). Experts from the government, the United Nations (UN) and other organisations in the Southeast are expected to attend the event. The summit has received support from Vlisco Nigeria Ltd, makers of Hollandaise cloth. Explaining the reasons for her company’s support for the summit, the Marketing Manager, Multi Channels, Vlisco Nigeria Ltd, Mrs. Ada Alilonu, said: “Vlisco opposes inhumanity of any kind to indigent young women that turns them into a means of living for desperate persons, who regard it as a business. “We will lend our voice to working mothers in saying no to baby factories and yes to wholesome, beautiful and gracious Igbo women.” She said the Vlisco brand holds a place of pride in the lifestyle of the Nigerian woman, adding: “For over a century, Vlisco has been in a love affair with the Igbo woman through our classic wax bloc designs that have become embedded in their culture.” The Project Coordinator of OgbakoNdiNne said the UN Rapporteur on Human Trafficking, Dr. Joy Ezeilo and former Minister of Education, Prof. Chinwe Obaji, would deliver keynote papers, adding that other erudite speakers on maternal issues, such as Unyime Ivy King, Prof. Obioma Nwaorgu and Prof. Nnennaya Kanno would feature. She said each paper presentation would be followed by a panel of discussion by experts and stakeholders as well as a question and answer session. According to her, a communiqué would be produced from the discussion that would become a policy document for the governments of the Southeast. Mrs. Ikoku said the event would be rounded off in the evening with a gala night. She said the highlights of the night included a documentary on the baby factory phenomenon, fashion show music, drama and comedy, while a charity walk would be held on July 25. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/southeast-mothers-to-meet-on-baby-factory/ |

MORE ministers are likely to leave the cabinet soon, The Nation learnt at the weekend. It is all part of the fallout of the defection of five governors to the All Progressives Congress (APC), according to sources. Ministers are also under pressure to either align with the President’s 2015 aspiration or be shown the way out. But some ministers, who are professionals, are not keen on being drawn into politics, especially in their states where the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is factionalised. Of President Goodluck Jonathan’s 42-man cabinet, 11 left due to either sack or voluntary resignation. It was, however, learnt that some ministers associated with PDP governors or leaders, who have defected to the APC, might be relieved of their appointments unless they make their position known. The Presidency is yet to recover from the shock of last Tuesday’s merger of the New PDP with the APC, according to sources. According to sources, the President met with his strategists, key PDP leaders and Senate President David Mark, on Wednesday and Thursday on how to deal with the challenge posed by the APC. Although some harsh steps were suggested, it was learnt that Mark insisted on the rule of law to manage the situation. A source said Mark claimed that it would be difficult for him to declare the seats of senators who have joined APC vacant since they are yet to form the Senate leadership of their action. Having reached a brick wall, it was gathered, the President’s strategists came up with four options to tackle the APC challenge. The options are: •engaging those who defected in legal battles to declare their seats vacant; •sponsoring political dissidents in their states; •creating legal and political hurdles for anyone with a case or their relations; and •ridding the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of the defectors’ loyalists. It was learnt that the cleansing of FEC of those loyal to APC leaders is one of the immediate options on the card. A top source said: “The battle line has been drawn. Ministers are now left with the option of either identifying with PDP and the President’s cause or seeking refuge elsewhere. “Some ministers and board members may be dropped because those who nominated them have defected to the APC. The alternative is for such people to openly denounce their godfathers or be shown the way out. “Although some of the ministers have performed but Jonathan’s strategists believe they should be asked to go. These strategists do not see defection to APC as a matter of political game; they believe in do-or-die politics. “The ball is in Jonathan’s court to determine whether he will take to the advice or not.” The President had earlier sacked some ministers, allegedly linked to the G-7 governors when the New PDP was formed. They were part of the nine ministers dropped from the cabinet. Sacked were Olugbenga Ashiru (Foreign Affairs), Hadiza Mailaifa (Environment), Shamsudeen Usman (National Planning), Ama Pepple (Lands, Housing and Urban Development), Rukayyatu Rufai’ (Education) and Ita Ewa (Science and Technology). The others were Minister of State for Defence Olusola Obada; Minister of State for Power Zainab Kuchi and Minister of State for Agriculture Bukar Tijani. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/fear-apc-jonathan-set-drop-ministers/ |
Jonathan is so bad, that he makes APC look like angels. Anyone that is in opposition to this Jonathan’s worst government in the history of Nigeria and perhaps the world, is labeled APC. Why bother rejecting the label, I now accept it. Opposition= APC, I am APC then. Finish. What more will they say? Infact, this Johnnie and his angels’ (like Charlie and his angels) administration is so terrible… they say, good, better, best. Or bad, badder, baddest. This is the baddestest administration conceivable. Anything that can get this over, now if possible, but definitely no later than 2015 is divine. 545 days to go. Hah! Nowadays I do not even see Jonathan anymore, who I see is Obasanjo. It is that Obasanjo, I do not even know what to call him, that did this to us. Fela Ransom Kuti turned in his grave when we did the abomination of bringing that man back to power. How dumb were we? It is not Jonathan’s fault at all; it is Obasanjo I blame for this inebriated rubbish. Some of his remaining 2 million supporters say; stealing did not start today. Well, if something is bad, did our parents not teach us to try again, and try and try again? We will put get this team out and put the next guys and if they fail, like Egypt, no waiting full term, we will get them out again and put the next, try and try again till we get something better. Is this not commonsense? Is this not our obligation to our elderly, to our young and to those who are no longer with us due to the incompetence, recklessness and mega-corruption of this administration? This man we call a president. How many months after he said he knew the sponsors of Boko Haram? He has not done his duty as commander in chief and arrested and helped us sentence a single one to the death they deserve? If that is not terror masterminding, then what is? Am I the one that will arrest Boko Haram sponsors? May God have mercy on the brave soldiers and civilians dying under this terrible regime that protects sponsors of terror. No cooperation with the Swiss on their invitation to join us investigate the $7bn NNPC-Swiss oil dealers looting us silly. The president ‘falls-ill’ and misses every important function to represent us abroad. AU’s 50th in Addis Ababa, mba. Investor’s summit in UK, mba. Now we even have the legitimization of terror, with people from our nation in harmony with the government, issuing terror threats to our neighbors for their independent and legitimate matters of state security. Not a single arrest of a corrupt top official. But this ‘government’ who cannot arrest Boko Haram sponsors and cannot arrest corrupt top officials have the gumption to threaten to use police and army against our noble teachers. Let’s not even go through the sorry story of this state of existing under terror leadership. Nigerians are hopeless cowards. Thabo Mbeki said the rot that happens in Nigeria’s government can never happen in his South Africa, because the problem is with the Nigerian masses. I am a revolutionist, but I have weighed my options. One must accept reality. Option 1 is a total revolution, which can be stolen, but gives the possibility of absolute and immediate, total change. Nigerian’s are too busy fighting each other and defending corruption and terror, I don’t see that happening tomorrow, and we cannot afford to wait while people wallow in miserable destitution and more die in this administratively terrorized nation. Option 2 is military take-over, hoping for a Rawlings, Sankara, Idiagbon type of guy. But the military have been bribed stupid. Our great Southern Army General in command, who is over- term, is sleeping. When the Northerners took over back then and ruled Nigeria the most, people blamed the North, whereas it was a handful of soldiers who dared to go in to help rid the nation of jackals as we have today. Our Southern-Igbo general in charge has that opportunity, but he does the Igbo’s and the South no honor. I am not being tribalist here, simply cutting it as it is, raw. No one ever voted in the North over southerners. Of our people-elected leaders, most time in ‘peoples-choice’ leadership has been non north. North has supported Southern candidates, well, well, including in killed Abiola’s stolen election. The North 60% longer rule was because they took it. Igbo-Southerner in command, take it now. Mba! So only option number 3, which is the ‘strongest opposition.’ And if they even put forth good candidates, perhaps we can have a slower, but hopeful change. This is why I am APC, oh! APC is terminology for opposition. I have not joined the party formally, but I am APC. In fact, I am more APC than Tinubu. When CNN’s Christian Amanpour attacked our president for lying that the power was better, she became APC. When World Bank said the fact that Nigeria had 100 million destitute, the number having doubled through the Obasanjo and Jonathan administrations, they became APC. Joel Brinkley from the US, who wrote in LA Times, “Good luck, Mr. Jonathan. It’s time you were impeached,” he is APC fully-fully. PDP defect to APC, it is because they were born with APC blood type. In fact, if Benin republic, for arresting a well known above the law terrorist, whose boys went ahead to terrorize a whole Nigeria’s neighbor, for a legitimate arrest, are also APC. Then who am I and which side am I on, that I will not be APC? Where is my broom! Ghana is suffering like Nigeria now. They, like us got the second man as president when their president died. Now there is hardship, Ghana cannot pay salaries while there are rumors that the inheritor of the presidency and his family are purchasing banks and things all over. Always look at the man behind. What if the president dies? Obasanjo planned this. He knew it. He ‘killed’ Yar’Adua. This was his master plan, plain and simple. And we the entire nation were all dummies. If you are old in APC, step aside. We respect your accomplishments; God will give you long life. Nigeria will be careful now. Man #1 must be fit to run marathon against Ethiopia’s best runners and man number two from now on must be an even better candidate than man number one, no joke! APC!!!!!! Impeachment! APC!!!!! What the slogan is… Progress! APC!!!! Sweep those crazy baldheads outta da yard!

Yesterday, the entire People’s Democratic Party appeared to descend on Anambra to push the gubernatorial candidate, Tony Nwoye into winning an election many pundits think he won’t. He has been involved in litigation over who is candidate for the pasty for the past few months – and has been late to the campaign trail. Drunk on the wine of now-possible success, the PDP bigwigs at the event – including President Goodluck Jonathan – found it a bit difficult to control their tongues. We bring you some of the statements, thanks to Premium Times , that were so bad, they’re almost unbelievable “50 per cent of the private jets in Nigeria are owned by Anambra people” – President Goodluck Jonathan “I told Gov. Obi to hand over to this young man,” – PDP chairman, Bamanga Tukur “Today we have for the first time in history, a candidate from Anambra North. I’m sure that the people of Anambra North will do anything to put their son, Comrade Tony Nwoye, into the Government House come 2014” – Senator Margaret Okadigbo “If it is not Panadol it can never be like Panadol. This is a party that is deporting your sons and daughters and demolishing their shops” – Governor of Akwa Ibom, Godswill Akpabio said. “Mr. President, kidnapping in Anambra is a lucrative business” – Governorship candidate, Tony Nwoye However, it was apparently PDP board of trustees member and billionaire chairman of Orient Petroleum that went on the most expansive roll: Take 1: “For many years the orphans and widows in this state were neglected, until God brought Jonathan from a village in Otuoke. The same thing happened to Tony Nwoye, from a village called Nsugbe. They have no money,” Mr. Eze said. Take 2: “That short man called Ngige, we gave him power and he went and joined Awolowo’s people; the people that killed the Igbos.” Take 3: “Peter Obi, we gave him power, he did not conduct election for eight years. He was busy building mansions and marble houses everywhere.” Take 4: “Anambra people, let us change your lives while we are still alive.” And for good measure, he appears to be in tune with the life expectancy average in Nigeria under the leadership of his favourite president. “”I’m 65 years,” Mr. Eze declared at the rally. “And I’ll die very soon.” Let no one between an old man and his wishes. http://www.ynaija.com/ngige-joined-awolowos-people-who-killed-the-igbos-see-10-of-the-most-ridiculous-things-said-at-the-pdpanambra-rally-yesterday/ |
