PRESS STATEMENT

Wike Visit To Saraki, Commendable, In Order - Earl Osaro, Founding Governors Forum DG

A Chieftain of Peoples Democratic Pioneer and Pioneer Director-General of the Governors Forum, Earl Osaro Onaiwu, has commended the immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, for meeting with a former president of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

In a statement that was released on Tuesday, Onaiwu, who christened the meeting between the two leaders to be in order, appealed to members of the PDP to separate personal relationship from politics and unite for greater good of the party and the country.

"Dr. Bukola Saraki, the former president of the Senate, is easygoing and possesses an impeccable record of astute leadership which has earned him love and admiration from Nigerians within and outside the PDP.

The handshake that was exhibited between himself and the Honorable Minister of FCT, Nyesom Wike, is an attestation that friendship and relationship should not be sacrificed on the altar of individual political interests. Beside, Nigeria is bigger than any individual, in brotherhood and love we must abide towards each other.

I call on leaders and members of our great Party to take advantage of this platform to reconcile every grey areas so as to work together for the growth of the PDP and the ultimate benefit of Nigeria.

PoliticsMarch 18: APC Has No Governorship Candidate In Taraba State - PDP by madamgrace(op): 8:10am On Mar 16, 2023
…Charges INEC to Be Guided by Supreme Court Judgment

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) states that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has no validly nominated candidate for the rescheduled Saturday March 18, 2023 governorship election in Taraba State in line with the Judgement of the Supreme Court delivered on February 1, 2023 in suit No SC/CV/1564/2022.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the good people of Taraba State and the general public are invited to note that the import of the judgement of the Supreme Court is to the effect that the APC cannot validly field a candidate in the March 18, 2023 governorship election in Taraba State, having failed to comply with the mandatory provisions of the Electoral Act, 2022 with regards to the conduct of its governorship primary in Taraba State.

Specifically, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the provision of Section 84 (13) of the Electoral Act, 2022, which provides that;

“Where a political party fails to comply with the provisions of this Act in the conduct of its primaries, its candidate for election shall not be included in the election for the particular position in issue”

In the words of the Supreme Court, “Section 84 (13) of the Electoral Act is quite clear on the effect of failure to comply with the provisions of the Act and the Guideline of a Political Party in the selection or nomination of a candidate for election. Its Candidate shall not be included in the election for the particular position in issue”.

The implication of the Supreme Court’s Judgment therefore is that INEC is effectively restrained from accepting or recognizing any governorship candidate from the APC for the March 18, 2023 Governorship election in Taraba State.

INEC must therefore be guided by the hierarchy of courts in Nigeria and the finality of the pronouncements in the Judgment of the Supreme Court on any issue or subject upon which it has ruled, ordered or given judgment.

The people of Taraba State must note that any vote therefore cast or credited to the APC in the March 18, 2023 Governorship election in Taraba State will be treated as wasted vote.

PoliticsAbdulrahman's Failed Leadership: Why He Should Not Be Re-elected As Governor by madamgrace(op): 9:18pm On Mar 15, 2023
Abdulrahman, the current governor of Kwara State, has been in power for four years. However, his performance so far has been far from satisfactory. He has failed to deliver on all of his campaign promises, and his actions have caused harm to Kwarans.

Firstly, his refusal to conduct local government elections. Local governments are supposed to be the closest form of government to the people, but Abdulrahman has denied the people of Kwara State this opportunity to participate in their governance. This action is undemocratic and has shown his lack of concern for the people he was elected to serve.

Abdulrahman has not only embezzled billions of naira but also borrowed billions and spent it on hotels without any tangible development to show for it. He has failed to provide the basic infrastructure and amenities that the people of Kwara State need. Instead, he has wasted resources on frivolous projects that do not have any impact on the lives of the people.

Abdulrahman is a fraud evidenced by his preference for giving contracts and appointments to only his family members. This action is nepotistic and unfair to other qualified individuals who can do a better job. Even worse, many of these family members have failed to deliver on their assignments, indicating that their appointments were based on favouritism rather than competence.

He has also turned all traditional rulers in the state into bootlickers just for his second-term ambition. Traditional rulers are supposed to be custodians of the culture and traditions of their people, but Abdulrahman has turned them into sycophants who only sing his praises in order to curry favour. This is an abuse of power and has undermined the traditional institution in the state.

Additionally, Abdulrahman replaced a working senator, Oloriegbe, with a pass ND holder to represent Kwara Central, a district that produced a Senate President. This action shows his disregard for the people's choice and his preference for sycophants who will do his bidding rather than capable individuals who can effectively represent their constituents.

He has fought against all those who brought him to power. This action shows his ingratitude and lack of loyalty. It also suggests that he is not interested in working with others to achieve the best outcomes for the people of Kwara State.

Finally, Abdulrahman is a man without integrity who doesn't honour agreements or keep his word as a bond. This has led to the rise of a strong third force in Kwara State largely due to his failure to fulfil his promises. The people of Kwara State need a leader whose actions in office have not been in the best interest of the people of Kwara State. He has failed to deliver on his campaign promises, wasted resources on frivolous projects, and engaged in nepotism and abuse of power. Therefore, he should not be re-elected for another term. The people of Kwara State need a leader who can be trusted to prioritize their needs and work towards their development.

PoliticsFejiro Oliver: The Delta Judas And Serial Betrayer by madamgrace(op): 10:03am On Mar 14, 2023
Fejiro Oliver: The Delta Judas And Serial Betrayer

The people of Delta State are reputed to be brave, loyal and committed to whatever cause they are aligned to irrespective of whatever it is. Deltans are people with reputation of rewarding good for good. This unique character trait is one of the many reasons Nigerians and non-Nigerians hold Deltans to the highest esteem, But like the saying goes, in every twelve there must be a Judas.

In Delta State, there is one Mr. Tega Oghenedoro alias goes by pen name Fejiro Oliver who calls himself a blogger. This youngman take to his facebook page to demonise and blackmail Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and other members of the Delta State Government. One interesting aspect in this character is that he was once a chief praise singer of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and the government and people of Delta State.

So who is this character?

1. In the year 2013, this youngman was in financial ashes (in his own words) that was working for Olorogun Ovie Omo-Agege to be the Governor of Delta State in 2015 at the end of Governor Emmanuel Oduaghan's tenure. When he realised that the feelings of Deltans was tilted towards powershift to Delta North and Senator Ifeanyi Okowa, this Fejiro Oliver switched loyalty, abandoned Omo-Agege to promote Ifeanyi Okowa on Social Media.

2. When the government of Ifeanyi Okowa was formed, he saw the need to bring onboard young people to his government - in line with his philosophy of involving people of all generations to participate in building Delta State under his leadership. Oliver Fejiro was identified by Mr. Hilary Ibegbulem, a Senior Member of Okowa's administration. Mr. Hilary took Fejiro Oliver like a brother, gave him platform to operate and earn a decebt living. This gesture of Mr Hilary was acknowledged by Fejiro- who praises him on his Facebook page almost on daily basis until this time. Mr. Hilary also supported Fejiro in his other endeavors. It should be stated that Fejiro Oliver is not the only youngman that was identified by the Okowa administration or Mr. Hilary.

3. Since the period of the Okowa administration until 2021, Fejiro Oliver was over Social Media heaping praises on the Governor for the good works done, Mr. Hilary - who he described a boss, teacher and friend that picked him when he was nobody to give him a platform where he could afford the kind of life he now lives. When Oliver was arrested and sent to prison for breaking the provisions of Cyber crime Act, it was Mr. Hilary that ensured his rehabilitation and gave him succour out of his love for humanity.

4. All through these period, the same Fejiro used despicable words to describe his Ovie Omo-Agege, his former principal who he betrayed and left in the cold in 2014. On January 25, 2020, Fejiro Oliver revealed that Omo-Agege raped his lecturer in the United States, forged the signature of the US President to the Bank of America where he defrauded the Bank of $200 million and hijacked a plane to Yemen.

5. In the year 2022 Mr. Fejiro Oliver lobbied to meet Senator Omo-Agege who he betrayed in 2014 and accused of rape in 2020, upon meeting him and concluded whatever deal might have transpired, he switched loyalty back to Omo-Agege as he felt he has the federal resources to satisfy his cravings. From that moment, he became an attack dog of Omo-Agege against his own benefactors. He uses his Facebook page to insult and malign the person of Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and Mr Hilary - who he always described as his greatest benefactors and leaders.

6. Fejiro Oliver publishes fake news against the persons of Okowa, his family and every member of his administration just to please his new paymaster. It was he who LIED that the Okowa administration collected a whopping N850bn loan even when the fact on ground shows that Delta State is only indebted to N272 billion - and this money represents the entire debt of all previous administrations in the state.

7. This serial blackmailer, who knows the truth about Okowa administration, chose to incite the good people of Delta State against the government of Okowa. It is only a matter of time he will turn against Senator Omo-Agege - most likely after he loses the Satuday's gubernatorial election to the PDP candidate, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori in line with the continuity consensus of Delta people.

Deltans know the truth. Deltans know that the smooth working relationship between the Okowa led Executive and Sheriff led legislature is chiefly responsible for the economic, infrastructural, structural and every advancement of the State.

Delta State pride itself as one of the FEW States that Voted for Autonomy of Local Government and the Legislative arms - even when others refused to. In fact, despite that LGAs is yet to be autonomous in Nigera, all the Councils in Delta State are fully autonomous, while the state government give them necessary support.

Delta will not give in to blackmail from a man who once called his principal the greatest mistake of the Urhobo nation.

PoliticsMarch 18: Akwa Ibom People Will Choose Rightly, Says Professionals by madamgrace(op): 8:41am On Mar 14, 2023
Professionals and businessmen in Akwa Ibom under the aegis of Professionals for Development have charged the people of the State to choose rightly in the March 18, 2023 Governorship election by voting enmasse for the Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Pastor Umo Eno.

National Coordinator of the group, Engr. Ufot Akan Umoren, in a statement on Monday stressed that the people of Akwa Ibom have the option of choosing between a God-sent individual like Pastor Eno and cronies of corrupt politicians.

Umoren stated that the governorship election presents an option for the people of Akwa Ibom to choose between voting for progressive transformation and development as embodied in Pastor Eno against profligacy, corruption and wastefulness.

He further noted that the election presents the people the option to choose between a well prepared, competent and ready candidate who has the interest of the people at heart as against someone who seeks power as a means to achieve immunity and escape conviction.

According to Umoren, “it is clear that Pastor Eno is the only candidate with the required capacity, competence, integrity, presence of mind, selflessness and demonstrated love for the people. He is a very humble person; a man of faith with an exceptional sense of duty, who has always succeeded in all assignments given to him.

“The people of Akwa Ibom are in consensus that having successfully served under Governor Udom Emmanuel, Pastor Eno has been adequately equipped to sustain and build on the numerous development achievements of Governor Emmanuel and move the State to greater heights”

“Pastor Eno’s administration, when sworn in, will continue the peaceful, fruitful and prosperous era of Governor Emmanuel in line with the Will, aspiration and desire of the majority of the people of Akwa Ibom State” Umoren further said.

The group, which assured that it has mobilized the people to vote massively for the PDP, described the candidacy of Pastor Eno as divine adding that it is a product of very wide consultation, agreements, consensus and prayers of all well-meaning people of Akwa Ibom State, in line with the Will of God for the State.

“The candidature of Pastor Eno is divine. It is a product of extensive prayers, consultation and consensus across the nooks and crannies of Akwa Ibom State. It is in line with the Will of God which will prevail at the end of the day” he added.

The group therefore urged the people to use their votes in the Will of God by voting enmasse for the PDP.

The professionals also asked the people of the State to take all steps necessary within the ambit of the law to protect their votes until the end.

OPEN LETTER TO THE CHAIRMAN, CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA, DELTA STATE CHAPTER

No. 77/79 Amb. Ralph Uwechue Way, Asaba, Delta State

By: DELTA STATE CHRISTIAN YOUTHS FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE

Calvary Greetings:


1. The attention of Delta State Christian Youths For Good Governance has been drawn to a viral video wherein the Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege was captured in a gathering suspected to be that of adherent of a strange occultic practice known as Ogbe sect.

2. Ordinarily, we will not be concerned with the personal decision of a citizen of Nigeria to practice religion of choice, but considering that the man in question is a public servant, a supposed Christian of the Catholic faith -as attested by the Parish Priest of St. Jude’s Catholic Church, Effurun, Delta State, Very Rev Fr Mark Ikeke, we decided to speak out.

3. Permit us to quote 2 Corinthians 6:14 (Kjv)

"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers, for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?"

4. If indeed Senator Ovie Omo-Agege is a Christian, is it right for him to be seen or identified with strange occultic adherents?

5. Senator Omo-Agege is seeking to govern our dear Delta State under the platform of All Progressives Congress, the same platform that produced Muslim-Muslim candidates at the national level which the church clearly kicked against.

6. We, as Christian Youths, are very concerned especially at this time that we are preparing to elect leaders that will govern Delta State for the next four years. We cannot allow our dear state derail from the path of righteousness to the path of unrighteousness. The Church cannot fold its arms to allow suspected Occultic ticket of APC takeover Delta State.

7. In view of the above, we jointly demand that the Church reject the candidacy of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege for the Delta State gubernatorial office, and support the popular demand for continuous righteous governance in our dear state.

This is the time to speak up!

PoliticsPoll Projects Atiku As Winner Of 2023 Presidential Election In Nigeria by madamgrace(op): 7:36pm On Feb 13, 2023
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is projected to win the Nigerian 2023 election scheduled for February 25, 2023.

The interim report from nine months study led by Dr. Oludare Ogunlana of June Group Research and Council for African Security Affairs (CASA) with other Intelligence practitioners in the United States, Europe, and Nigeria pointed to the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party of Nigeria as a potential winner.

Atiku rated higher than other candidates from All Progressive Congress (APC) and Labour Party (LP), and New Nigeria Peoples' Party (NNPP), using four key variables: political geography, Religion, Resources, and Class.

The study's scope is limited to observing political actors and interviews with stakeholders in organizations from across six zones of Nigeria and the Nigerians in the Diaspora: political leaders, women groups, religious organizations, civil societies, trade unions, and youth organizations. In each interview, we focused on five areas: the personality of the candidates, ethnic influence, religion, power of incumbency, voters' behavior, emotions' role, political socialization, and tolerance of diversity of political views.

The study that started in May 2022 accurately predicted the outcome of the PDP and APC primaries and the emergence of Alh Atiku Abubakar and Senator Bola Tinubu as candidates for their respective parties.

We identified where the political influencers, religious leaders, organizations, and Nigerians in the Diaspora stood with voting President in February 2023 and how it aligned to victory for each candidate.

In addition, we gathered data from facilitated workshops and interactive survey sessions with Nigerian political thought leaders, which include lawyers, political activists, and former and current serving political office holders.

While we respect various polls that have put a particular candidate as the preferred candidate to win the election, we state that data alone does not speak for itself significantly when such data is based on manipulation and sectional polling.

The result of every data must be put into context, including understanding the people, culture, pattern, geographical spread of the platform, and historical antecedents.

In conclusion, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is expected to garner 64% from the three zones in the North, rake 45% from the South-South region where his running mates come from, acquire 37 % from the South-East with 27% from the South-West, which is the stronghold of the APC candidate.

PoliticsAPC: A Syndicate Of Self-motivated Politicians By David Titiloye by madamgrace(op): 2:14pm On Feb 09, 2023
While going to work today, I saw our fathers and mothers sitting outside the gates of a bank in a dehumanizing way and something in me broke.
Never would I have imagine that a time would come when you'll have money yet be unable to spend it.

The narrative today that the recent CBN policy and the concomitant fuel scarcity is an attempt by a fictitious cabal to stop Tinubu's ambition is far from the truth. Every major APC policy leading to this point has always come at great inconvenience to us, the difference this time is that it's happening on a grand scale.

I remember how I had to queue for hours to register for NIN, how I couldn't retrieve my lost sim because the FG decided to suspend sim registration. The border closure that made food prices skyrocket.
Tinubu never for once registered his disapproval of those policies or empathized with us

We must therefore not let him use the idea of a Northern conspiracy to garner sympathy now that his ambition is threatened by similar policies he failed to condemn in the past.

APC remains Nigeria's number one problem and will continue to be so. It is in the interest of everyone to join Atiku Abubakar in his mission to Recover Nigeria. APC and Tinubu are our problems.

PoliticsAtiku/okowa Campaign To Tinubu: No Place For Interim National Government by madamgrace(op): 6:06pm On Feb 08, 2023

Press Statement

Atiku/Okowa Campaign to Tinubu: No Place for Interim National Government in the 1999 Constitution
…Insists February 25 Presidential Election Date Must Be Sacrosanct

The Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organization counsels the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign to perish their contemplations or discussions of setting up an Interim National Government as such does not have any place whatsoever in the 1999 Constitution (as amended) as well as our democratic practice as a nation.

Our Campaign also advises the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign to immediately perish its narratives or demands for the postponement of the 2023 general elections, as the February 25, 2023 Presidential election date must be sacrosanct given that Nigerians are ready to go to the polls where they will elect Atiku Abubakar as the next President of our country.

This position is predicated on the reports of sinister plots by the Tinubu Campaign to create situations and narratives to justify its reported demands for the postponement of the 2023 general elections.

Our Campaign has also received intelligence of a very dangerous plot by the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign to continue to orchestrate unrest across the country aimed at truncating the electoral process, triggering a constitutional crisis and foisting an undemocratic situation of Interim National Government on our country, having realized that it has no chance in the election.

These reported moves by the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign are not only cowardly but also confirm that Tinubu is intimidated by the overwhelming popularity of the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, and as such seeks to scuttle the election.

Nigerians can now further see why Tinubu has not been campaigning on issues but only engaging in incitements, brawling, vituperations on constituted authorities, creating a parallel Army, code-named “Jagaban Army”, pushing Nigerians to insurrection and directing his followers to fight for power and unleash violence during the elections.

The public can further comprehend the full import of Tinubu’s directive to his followers in London when he declared that “political power is not going to be served in a restaurant, it is not served a la carte. It is what we are doing; It is being determined; you do it at all cost; fight for it, grab it, snatch it and run with it”.

Such inciting comments are at the root of the violent attacks on innocent Nigerians as well as facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by APC thugs in various parts of our country.

Part of this plot is the reported interception, mopping up and hoarding of new Naira notes by the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign for purpose of vote buying leading to the biting scarcity of new Naira notes and consequential suffering and hardship across the country.

It is indeed pathetic that Tinubu, who ought to know that the 1999 Constitution, upon which our democracy derives its existence, is the one reported to be pushing for a situation of an Interim National Government (ING), just because it is clear to him that he cannot win the February 25, 2023 Presidential election.

The Atiku/Okowa Campaign counsels Tinubu to face the reality of his looming defeat and stop the shenanigans of seeking to introduce dangerous forms of contraption into our polity.

Tinubu must come to the full realization that his reliance on financial inducements alone cannot save him as there is no way Nigerians will elect any individual convicted for trafficking in narcotic, indicted in many criminal allegations and who has also shown manifest incapacities to serve as the President of our nation.

Our Campaign, standing with Nigerians, calls on INEC to immune itself from the shenanigans of the Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign and focus on its mandate to deliver a free, fair and credible Presidential election on February 25, 2023.

We also call on security agencies to note the machinations of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign and take urgent steps to protect the electoral process and our democracy from being derailed at this point.

Since it is clear that Tinubu has nothing to offer our nation, he should quit the race instead of seeking to destroy our democracy out of his wishful thinking that he will govern our nation.

Nigerians are ready to come out enmasse to vote in Atiku Abubakar as the next President of Nigeria come, February 25, 2023 and not even the shenanigans of the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign can sway them from that resolve.

PoliticsOyetola Political Hopelessness And The Legal Journey To Nowhere by madamgrace(op): 8:22pm On Jan 26, 2023
Oyetola Political Hopelessness and the Legal Journey to Nowhere

- Political Commentary by Sodiq Tade

If you have been following Osun politics in the last 4 years, you will understand that APC in Osun is in its current spot due to Oyetola's desperation to be politically relevant. While there is nothing bad in trying to be relevant in politics, there is everything bad in trying to be without the goodwill of the people.

Adeleke's victory, apart from being people's victory and a major shift of power from a notorious ruling party, it is also a revealer of Oyetola's desperation and that of his headless sycophants.

Since Oyetola lost the last election, he has become more desperate for power more than ever. He feels entitled to what he doesn't deserve. Obviously, that stems from the fact that he has always enjoyed the benefit of political godfatherism. What else can explain his uncontrolled and self-centered quest for power even in the face of obvious reality of failure? And I must say he has succeeded in his blind quest, he has succeeded in moving from being an unknown Chief of Staff to an unpopular former Governor trying to rob the people of their hard earned mandate. A downward political journey, if you ask me.

Going by the current situation in Osun State, Oyetola has lost the remaining goodwill he used to enjoy as an ex-Governor due to his desperation to be relevant in the political space. It is not news that since he lost heavily to Adeleke last year, he has embarked on a legal journey heading nowhere just to keep his name up in the media. You don't need more than basic education to know that Oyetola doesn't have a case. You don't need a lawyer to school you about it.


Oyetola and his headless sycophants have built their case on fake figures and the only place they can win with those figures is their WhatsApp groups. If you have been paying attention, you will have noticed a sharp change in narrative from their camp. In the very beginning, they shamelessly claimed they were rigged out through "over-voting". Beyond the law, the question is now:

Can you rig out the incumbent Governor in today's Nigeria?

Your guess is as good as mine. It is almost impossible. You can only defeat the incompetent incumbent with the help of the people. The power will always be with the people.


Having realised that they are not going anywhere with the over-voting narrative, they moved to the validity of the winner's school certificate. The question is now:

Can a lower court overrule the verdict of the higher court?

Again, your guess is as good as mine. This is the reason I said you didn't even need more than basic education to know that they were not going anywhere with the case. Oyetola and his followers are aware of this fact but they won't stop the nonsense charade, they must be seen doing something.

The ex-Governor should stop being desperate for power and focus on the survival of his party in the state because, as it is presently, PDP will win all the available seats in the coming election. Having said all, I must however confess that his desperation is good sight to behold because political desperation is the last step before political oblivion.

Press Statement

Jagaban Army: Protect Nigeria, Summon National Security Council Meeting Now, Atiku/Okowa Campaign Charges Buhari

The Atiku/Okowa Campaign Organisation has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to, as the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, protect the integrity of the Nigerian military as well as the sovereignty of our nation by summoning a meeting of the National Security Council over the establishment of a parallel Army ( Jagaban Army) by the Presidential Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Nigerians are concerned that since the public outcry over the exposed design by the APC and its Presidential Candidate to use a parallel Army, code-named the Jagaban Army, to undermine our national security, affront the Nigeria Army, cause confusion, disrupt the 2023 elections and derail our democratic process, neither the APC Campaign or Asiwaju Tinubu have disowned the formation or its nefarious plans.

This is even more worrisome in the face of undenied allegations in the public space that the Jagaban Army is training and arming thugs with dangerous weapons in secret locations across the country ostensibly to use the illegal formation to undermine Nigerian security forces and unleash mayhem on Nigerians during the elections.

Nigerians have been wondering how a political party or any candidate for that matter can create a parallel Army and adorned them with uniforms as well as ranks within a sovereign State as if Nigeria has become Asiwaju Tinubu’s fiefdom.

Furthermore, Nigerians are alarmed that the APC Presidential Candidate went to London to declare war on our nation by openly charging his party cohorts to take power at all costs, only for him to return to the country to have his campaign set up a parallel Army to undermine our national security in order to achieve his malevolent designs.

The expectation of Nigerians was that after Asiwaju Tinubu declared that “political power is not served in a restaurant, it is not served a la carte. It is what we are doing; It is being determined; you do it at all cost; fight for it, grab it, snatch it and run (away) with it”, the security authorities ought to have immediately taken him in for questioning for treasonable felony.

This is not the first time that Asiwaju Tinubu has come out brazenly to undermine the sovereignty of our nation as well as the office and the person of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Nigerians can recall how Asiwaju Tinubu went to the Presidential villa, undermine President Buhari by using the Presidential facility in the Seat of Power to announce his presidential interest. That, to say the least, was felonious.

Nigerians are also aware of how the APC Presidential Candidate has arrogantly continued to disrespect, disparage and undermine the person of the President and how he had publicly mocked and depicted President Buhari as weak and weeping over losses in presidential elections until, according to him, he (Tinubu) came to his rescue and made him (Buhari) President.

The import is that Asiwaju Tinubu, in his arrogance, believes that he cannot be subjected to President Buhari’s Constitutional powers and this accounts for his temerity to run a parallel Army; a treasonable act against the Office of the President and our national sovereignty.

it is clear that Asiwaju Tinubu is desperate to be President, but with manifest signs of rejection by Nigerians, he is ready to cause bloodletting and destroy our democratic process.

It is imperative to state that insurrectionary groups that unleashed mayhem and derailed democracy in many parts of the world all started with desperate power seekers who cannot gain office through democratic means.

The fear across our country is that the APC Presidential Candidate is apparently following this dangerous path.

We implore Asiwaju Tinubu to come to terms with the reality that Nigerians have made up their minds to elect the PDP Presidential Candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as the next President of Nigeria, come February 25.

Our Campaign therefore demands that President Buhari should stamp his feet of authority and check Asiwaju Tinubu from sinking our nation into an abyss.

PoliticsYour Lack Of Integrity Has Forced Buhari To Stay Away From Your Campaign, Atiku/ by madamgrace(op): 9:29pm On Jan 05, 2023
The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization mocks the Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for venturing to speak on issue of integrity, saying his total lack of integrity has forced President Muhammodu Buhari to stay away from his (Tinubu’s) presidential campaign.

Is it not an absurdity that a presidential candidate that is beleaguered by several allegations bordering on corruption, perjury, identity theft, inconsistencies in name as well as alleged narcotics offence, for which he forfeited a gargantuan sum of $460,000 to the United States of America, could muster the courage to address any gathering whatsoever on the issue of integrity.

Has Asiwaju Tinubu defended the identity theft of the picture of former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, which was deliberately used by his campaign organization to portray him as a bright youngman?

The Atiku/Okowa campaign says the continuous absence of President Buhari at the APC presidential campaigns showcases a concern by Mr President that Tinubu, because of his lack of integrity, will lose a free, fair and credible poll at the February 25 presidential election.

Our campaign also holds that President Buhari is distancing himself from the Tinubu's campaign because of the inability of the APC presidential candidate to provide convincing explanation on his links to the alleged forfeiture of $460,000 to the United States authorities in a narcotics related matter.

We therefore counsel Tinubu to stop dishing empty promises to Nigerians since compatriots are yet to recover from similar events which he led in the past.

We urge Nigerians to continue to give their support to the leading presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in the collective drive to rescue and rebuild our nation.

PoliticsObasanjo’s Wish On Obi Is Personal Opinion Not Of The Majority - PDP by madamgrace(op): 7:49pm On Jan 01, 2023
Obj’s Wish on Obi Is Personal Opinion, Does not Reflect the Wishes of Majority of Nigerians, says Atiku/Okowa Campaign

…Insists Atiku Still Most Widely Accepted Candidate

The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization says the subjective support for the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, by former President Olusegun Obasanjo is his personal wish which does not reflect the opinion or position of overwhelming majority of Nigerians across the country.

While former President Obasanjo is entitled to his personal opinion; as remarkable as it may appear, it remains individualistic and cannot redirect Nigerians from their determination to rally with the more experienced, more proficient and more accepted Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, to rescue and rebuild our nation from the APC misrule.

What is surprising to majority of Nigerians is that in the face of the alarming challenges facing the nation, which requires a tried and tested hand, former President Obasanjo is suggesting a candidate that has not had any experience in governance at the national level.

In any case, Chief Obasanjo’s opinion cannot sway Nigerians who can easily remember how he endorsed President Muhammadu Buhari, whose administration, he (Obasanjo) now describes as “stressful years for many Nigerians,” during which our nation “moved from frying pan to fire and from mountain top to the valley.”

It is therefore be extremely difficult for Nigerians, particularly the youth demography, to accept Chief Obasanjo’s opinion as the solution to the myriad of challenges facing the nation today because the last candidate he introduced, by his own estimation, failed Nigerians.

Our campaign holds that none of the Presidential candidates has the experience, capacity, tenacity of purpose, presence of mind and readiness to serve like Atiku Abubakar.

Atiku remains the most widely accepted candidate, whose choice is not predicated by sectional, tribal, ethnic or religious sentiments or the endorsement of any individual, high or low, but by record of ability and performance, authentic vision, honesty and character; physical and mental capacity; the very indices set by the former President.

It is instructive to state that every claim by former President Obasanjo on the success of his administration is a reflection of the performance of Atiku Abubakar as his Vice President and Chairman of the National Economic Council during which our nation achieved unprecedented economic growth to become one of the fastest growing economies in the world.

It therefore amounts to a disservice for the former President to make subjective suggestion even when it is clear that if a hand like Atiku Abubakar with their shared experience is brought to the forefront of governance, our nation will be rescued from this current sullen state

Our Campaign therefore urges Nigerians not to be distracted by subjective opinions but to remain focused on the resolve to salvage our dear nation by electing Atiku Abubakar as the next President of Nigeria, come February 25, 2023.

PoliticsThis Suffering Will End Soon, Atiku/okowa Campaign Tells Nigerians by madamgrace(op): 7:14pm On Dec 31, 2022
The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization assures Nigerians that the season of anguish and pains which had been the features of the All Progressives Congress (APC) years in office will come to an end very soon when the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, is elected and sworn into office come May 29, 2023.

The campaign notes with serious concern how hardworking, industrious and resilient Nigerians, who exert themselves with great sacrifices in their various callings, have been pauperized due to the inabilities of the APC administration to harness the right policies that will enable our citizens to reap the gains of their efforts.

Such will soon be a thing of the past under Atiku Abubakar who has already articulated a strategic blueprint for economic recovery that will stimulate and sustain productivity, employment and business opportunities in large, medium and small-scale enterprises in all the critical sectors of the economy.

The Atiku Abubakar economic recovery blueprint, which will be guided by international best practices in the service and production sectors will also deliver rapid infrastructural development, crash in cost of essential goods and services as well as swift rise in the purchasing power of citizens.

Our campaign therefore urges Nigerians not to despair but approach the New Year 2023 with a stronger optimism, particularly in their efforts to vote Atiku into office on February 25, 2023.

The Atiku/Okowa Campaign salutes Nigerians for their massive as well as unrelenting support and urge them to continue to give the PDP and Atiku Abubakar further required support as they march on with that spirit to vote for Atiku Abubakar and stand by their votes till the end.

Our Campaign assures Nigerians of a rewarding 2023 under the leadership of Atiku Abubakar as President come May 29, 2023.

... Says Candidate's Sweeping Performance Will Shock Pollsters

The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization insists that the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, will sweep the 2023 Presidential election at the first ballot.

The campaign says that with Atiku's overwhelming support by Nigerians across the board, the outcome of the presidential election, in which Atiku will emerge victorious on February 25, 2023, will shock Pollsters.

Atiku enjoys the solidarity and support of greater majority of Nigerians who are not captured in the indices relied upon by many of the pollsters in their projections on the 2023 Presidential election.

It is incontrovertible that Atiku will win the majority of lawful votes across the country and garner the constitutionally required 25% of votes in more than 24 States of the federation.

It is evident that the massive traditional voters of the PDP across the polling units, wards, local governments, states and the six geo-political zones are not distracted in their steadfastness to rescue Nigeria from the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by voting enmasse for Atiku.

Also, this army of traditional voters are unrelenting in mobilizing the non-partisan voters as well as the undecided across the country to vote for the PDP Presidential Candidate.

Furthermore, it is clear that the candidate of the rival APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, lacks the political muscle and national acceptability to stop Atiku at the first ballot.

Our campaign is therefore unfazed knowing that majority of Nigerians across the nation are in consensus to elect Atiku as the next President of our country, particularly, given his proven capacity, competence, political will and national acceptability to provide leadership at this critical time of our national history.

The Atiku/Okowa Campaign therefore urges Nigerians to remain united and focused in rallying with Atiku in the collective mission to rescue and rebuild our nation from the misrule of the APC.

PoliticsBullion Van Politicians Are After CBN - Atiku/Okowa Campaign by madamgrace(op): 9:20pm On Dec 20, 2022
The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization has carefully reviewed the onslaught on the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele and calls for restrain, given the sensitivity of his position to the nation’s economy.

This is especially on the backdrop of apprehensions that inordinately ambitious politicians that run activities with bullion vans and raw cash are out to destroy the nation’s financial institutions, particularly, the CBN, for their selfish political interests.

It is instructive to caution that the stability of the CBN as Nigeria’s apex financial institution is critical to the economic and social health of our nation and must not fall prey to corrupt politicians who are out to annex and control our national patrimony as well as resources for their personal ambitions.

Nigerians know the politicians who are desperate for political office as their "turn”, who see our nation and her citizens as an estate for sale, and who believe that their vacuity, many gaffes, manifest incompetence, incapacity for leadership and allegations of smelly past can be perfumed through the dispensing of corruptly acquired cash.

It is therefore important that those who are after the CBN and her Governor should be careful not to discredit the institution in the process as the consequential effect of such will be disastrous on our already ailing economy.

Our Campaign counsels such politicians to rather market their programmes to Nigerians, if they have any, and end their reprehensible hope on vote buying.

What is of paramount importance to us in the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organization is the stability of the polity, economic growth as well as the wellbeing and happiness of Nigerians in the overall national interest.

PoliticsThe Leader Nigeria Needs (Opinion) by madamgrace(op): 12:20pm On Dec 14, 2022
Following the public outcry by Nigerians for the Presidential Candidates of the various Political Parties to present themselves for debates, interviews and Townhall Meetings,

Atiku Abubakar of the PDP at first attended the AREWA Joint Committee Townhall Meeting in Kaduna where he told the good people of Nigeria from the Northern region how he's going to do things differently to make Nigeria great once again.
Tinubu attended same meeting and what we got was a Townhall is different from a Bala Blu.

Then again Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa the Vice Presidential Candidate of the PDP represented Atiku Abubakar who was in the United States to solicit the support of Nigerians in diaspora and foreign investors for the recovery of the Nigeria's Economy, at a Townhall organised by Arise TV where he schooled other Candidates present and gave Nigerians the detail explanation of Atiku's plan to #RecoverNigeria and was crowned the StarBoy of that event, meanwhile Obi whom the Obidients expected to shine by reeling out inaccurate figures as usual, or maybe tell Nigerians what he has to offer to change the current situation of things in the country, was busy crying on stage and accusing Dino Melaye of always trolling him when he could no longer provide answers to the questions thrown at him (why should someone who wants to become Nigeria's President be afraid of criticism), meanwhile Tinubu and Shetima did not even made attempts to attend the event.
Atiku Abubakar upon his return to Nigeria attended the 3rd edition of the ARISE TV Presidential Townhall, where he eventually made it known to all Nigerians that he is millions of miles ahead of all other contestants in terms of experience, preparedness and what he has to offer to build the Nigeria of our dreams, while those who still plays kindergarten politics who were present at the Townhall copied him but could not still present it as Atiku the owner of the ideas.

Before then Atiku Abubakar was at the CHATHAM HOUSE, where he took his time to tell the world his intentions to Unite Nigerians, rejig the Nigerian Security architecture and make it functional optimally, revive our Educational System, review our Economic Policies to attract investors into the country thereby creating jobs opportunities for Nigerians, and his plan to devolve powers to the States and Local government areas to expedite regional development.

Only for Tinubu to go to CHATHAM HOUSE in a bid to show that he can do as Atiku Abubakar did, but the story became different, now we hear stories of how a man who wants to become Nigeria's President had to call on his supporters to answer questions thrown at him and it all ended in a big disgrace and embarrassment.

Tinubu's embarrassing performance at CHATHAM HOUSE and all other events and the unprepared and inexperience nature of all other political parties candidates has further confirm that Atiku Abubakar of the PDP is the LEADER NIGERIA NEED at the moment because he is the only one who has what it takes to recover Nigeria and lead her on the pathway to progress.

PoliticsAPC Or Labour Party Presidency, A Threat To Nigeria's Unity - Harry Ariko by madamgrace(op): 11:53am On Dec 13, 2022
Nigeria �� is a country of about 200 million people from different religious backgrounds, with over 80% being Muslims and Christians.

Anyone who truly wants to lead Nigeria �� on the path of progress must PRIORITISE the Unity of Nigeria, consider her diverse religious backgrounds, understand that Nigeria is a multi ethnic nation, and must make efforts to bring everyone together as one, because it is only if we are united as a Nation that we all can overcome our common enemies, which are poverty, unemployment, underdevelopment, insecurities and so on.

The ruling APC Presidential Candidate who is a Southern Muslim has made his position known to every Nigerian that he is not interested in Nigeria's Unity when he picked a northern Muslim as a Running-mate instead of a non-Muslim to atleast give the Nigerian Christian Community and other religious groups a sense of belonging, just incase he wins, but no, rather he further reiterated his resolve that he does not believe in one Nigeria.

Obviously, this is dangerous for Nigeria's Unity and democracy. though some of us are not surprised because that has always been his person, one would expect him to pretend to be interested in the Unity of Nigeria anyway.

The most dangerous one at the moment is the Labour Party Presidential Candidate whom because he is a Southern Christian with a northern Muslim running-mate, has made his campaigns a complete religious movement by moving from one church to the other almost on daily basis telling the Christians to take back their country, creating the impression that the Christians are being marginalised and he's the only one who can help them get their country back. This is a very dangerous trend because it means the Muslim community and other religious groups does not have a place in Labour Party's Presidency except the Christians if he wins.

The Labour Party Presidential Candidate needs to be called to order before he further divide Nigeria along religious lines and plunge the country into religious crisis. Nigeria is still struggling to come out of BOKO HARAM and ISWAP crisis.

This is where the Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Candidate stands out among the major contenders.

The PDP Presidential Candidate a northern Muslim, a Pan-Nigerian, a lover of Nigeria's Unity, picked a southern Christian, who is another Pan-Nigerian and also a lover of Nigeria's Unity as running-mate and in their plan to #RecoverNigeria have centered their campaigns around the Unity of Nigeria as one of the key factor to restore Nigeria's lost glory and put her on the path of Progress. because the PDP as a party believes that As One We Can Get It Done.

Politics2023 Presidency: Nigerians Should Support, Vote The Most Prepared Candidate by madamgrace(op):
2023 Presidential Election: Nigerians Should Support and Vote The Most Prepared Candidate -By Oyewole Michael

"Preparation is the key to leadership success. The more prepared you are the less your struggle..."

Undoubtedly, Nigeria is at a very critical state; over half of her population has sunk into multidimensional poverty; inflation is at an unprecedented level; Leadership ineptitude and inutile; insecurity, loss of lives and property seem to be the order of the day; untamed looting is now a norm; basically, the APC regime has dragged Nigeria into unimaginable pain and hunger.

Without mincing words, we cannot afford to elect a green horn as president. To recover this Country, we need a president that is adequately prepared, and most equipped with experience and technical know-how. I cannot overemphasize the importance of preparedness and experience in the build up to the 2023 President election. We must detach emotions from this process, and be very realistic about who have recover this country, in all ramifications.

Should Nigerians critically assess these Presidential candidates? Yes. Are these candidates already showing to us their level of preparedness and experience? Yes. As a people, we need to be more aware and intentional about what these candidates are not saying. Look at how they’ve ran their campaigns and coordinated their teams since their emergence as candidates. “Little” things like this are very vital in understanding who is very ready to work for Nigerians by ensuring human capital development and peace.

For the records, Atiku Abubakar was first to announce a running mate immediately he won the ticket of his party. The others had to send the names of place holders as running mates to INEC. Atiku Abubakar was the first to release a detailed manifesto, code named “My Covenant”. This is a 186 page document, and has also been simplified to a 51 page version so that anyone can properly understand his plans for the Country. As I write this, some aspirants don’t even have a manifesto presented to Nigerians. Atiku Abubakar was the first to constitute and inaugurate a Presidential campaign council, and the first to start campaigning across the Country. While some candidates are still fighting over the constitution of a campaign team, others are issuing disclaimers on a team released by their political parties.

There is a need to highlight the above because it further drives home the fact that there is a candidate who is much more prepared and intentional about leading the Country out of her current many woes.

The candidates are sending Nigerians a clear message, we must be more discerning in deciphering the messages.

I agree with Atiku Abubakar when he said: “Experience counts and to avoid the mistakes of the past, never again should Nigerians hand over their future to a green horn.”

For months now, Atiku Ababukar has been engaging critical stakeholders and Nigerians as he promulgate his plans. Repeatedly, he has said his focus will be on anchored on five key areas, which are: 1. Unity of Nigeria. 2. Security 3. Economy. 4. Education. 5. Devolving more resources and powers to the federating units (Restructuring). No other candidate has a more detailed plan. Atiku’s clarity on his plans for the County is top notch, truly.

Of all the Presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar is the only one with both Executive and Legislative experience. More so, he has the full grasp of the many problems bedeviling the Country. What stands out for him, at every engagement, is his superlative ability to detail the problem and also proffer adequate solution of all of them. Atiku doesn’t talk about the problems alone. As head of the economic management team (1999-2007), Atiku Abubakar was instrumental in the design of a private sector revival strategy and advocated for the opening of the economy for private sector investments in a number of sectors.

We cannot afford to gamble with our lives and that of generation unborn. History beckons on us to elect a President that is much more prepared, intentional about our welfare, and that properly understands the situation of our country.

Let me conclude in the words of former Vice President of Nigeria, Arc. Namadi Sambo: “Atiku Abubakar is a political driver who not only has the experience to drive a car but also knows the rules on how to recover Nigeria.”

PoliticsAtiku/okowa Campaign Mocks Tinubu Over Buhari, Adamu’s Absence In APC Rally by madamgrace(op): 5:14pm On Nov 23, 2022
The Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Organisation mocks the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, over the absence of President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC National Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu in his Presidential Rally in Warri, Delta State last Saturday.
 
The absence of these two key APC leaders in Asiwaju Tinubu’s first Rally after the official Flag-Off in Jos Plateau State may be confirming reports in the public space that his Presidential Campaign has already been abandoned by his Party leaders due to his inability to adequately explain his link to a narcotic trafficking case in which he forfeited a whopping sum of $460,000.
 
It is apparent that President Buhari and Sen. Adamu may be tactically avoiding the damage of being held responsible for parading a candidate that has failed to explain his links with narcotics drug money.
 
From all indications, APC leaders and Nigerians are now distancing themselves from the Tinubu/Shettima Campaign because of the blight cast by the narcotic trafficking case as well as other disgraceful indictment which the APC Presidential Candidate and his running mate, Sen. Kashim Shettima has not been able to extricate themselves from.
 
Already, Nigerians are expressing concerns on how President Buhari, who as a military Head of State, some 38 years ago, ordered the execution of drug couriers would be marketing a Presidential  candidate in whose account a suspected $460,000 linked to narcotic drug was forfeited.
 
Our Campaign counsels Asiwaju Tinubu to note the handwriting on the wall which signals that he is only surrounded by paid sycophants, flatterers and minions, who will also abandon him before the February 25, 2023 scheduled date of election.
 
Of course, the APC should know that there is no how Nigerians can elect individuals fingered in trafficking in narcotics, forgery, perjury, treasury-looting and other atrocious criminal activities into the very sensitive office of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.  
 
The Atiku/Okowa Campaign commends Nigerians for their unrelenting support for the Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar and his running mate, Sen. Ifeanyi Okowa who have shown integrity, competence and willpower to lead the charge in the mission to rescue and rebuild our nation from the misrule of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

PoliticsPeter Obi, Jesus Or Judas: What Lies Ahead For Labour Party By Abasifreke Odion by madamgrace(op): 9:32am On Nov 22, 2022
What lies ahead for Labour Party in 2023 and beyond. Right now, we are enjoying the buzz and the new found love for our party, due to the emergence of Peter Obi, as our candidate but is this for real or it's just a passing phase?

Ahead of the 2023 elections, the major contenders are the usual suspects of the representatives of the two major parties in the country APC and PDP. The unusual thing about this election is the entrance of new players in the game, we have the candidature of Peter Obi and Rabiu Kwankwanso throwing their weight in the running of things.

Also quite a number of people have seemed to acknowledge one of these contenders as a thriving third force that represents the will of the people. The candidature of Peter Obi has seemed to be the prayer of most Nigerians, he seems to be very different from the regular politicians, he is younger, appears to tick the boxes and seems to enjoy the goodwill of the people. But the question is, is he really who he say he is? Is he a man that can be held accountable to his words? To have an idea of who a man is and where he is going to, it would be apt to look back at where he is coming from. What have those he has learnt from and also impacted said about him? Hence, the question, is Peter Obi a Jesus or a Judas

Peter Obi first foray into the world of politics came under the tutelage of the Ikemba, Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu of APGA. Ojukwu had built and established APGA as the party of and for the Igbo interest, the party that represents the uniform interest of the Igbo man to stake their claim in the center of Nigerian Politics. This is the platform that a relatively unknown Peter Obi rode on to the seat of governance in Anambra, and despite the fact that it was not a first term that spelt success, Peter Obi still rode on the popularity of the party and Ojukwu for a second term.

In the words of Bianca Ojukwu, she said “It is simple. I maintain that Peter Obi betrayed Dim Ojukwu, and tried to destroy APGA for his own selfish interests. He has continued to undermine Ojukwu’s personality and recently, he has gone ahead to desecrate his legacy. From relative obscurity, Obi was brought into national prominence when the leader, Ojukwu, through his party APGA, offered him an opportunity and platform upon which he ran and became governor of Anambra State.

“Ojukwu sacrificed so much and labored for him to become governor. He (Ojukwu) was fiercely protective of him and helped him overcome the various challenges that confronted him. Peter Obi had a difficult first tenure and stepped on so many toes that the majority of our party faithful were adamant that he should not be nominated for a second tenure. Yet Ojukwu stood by him when it mattered most, jeopardised his health by traversing all the local governments in a rigorous campaign on his behalf and begged the people of Anambra State to grant him a last wish by returning Obi for a second term.
“This feat was achieved for the first time in Anambra State’s history on 6th February 2010. Peter Obi swore to Ojukwu, upon his honour, that he would never abandon APGA; that he would quit politics or die; rather than leave APGA, and that he would preserve this legacy as a potent voice and rallying point for Ndigbo”
She ended this with a proclamation that History would judge Obi harshly, isn't this manifested in what Mr Charles Soludo said about Peter Obi recently? Another pointer to how much his own people don't think much of his personality, is highlighted in the fact that no major or minor politician in his State has identified themselves to his cause, and over the years, not a candidate that he has endorsed or supported has ever won the Anambra elections. If your home thinks you to be not a man of your words, how do you intend on convincing others? Haven't, we all said, charity begins at home? Peter Obi, despite his promises and oath to Ojukwu, left the party that gave him the foundations, despite his oaths and promises, this is alarming because this is the same man that said “Hold me by my words”. How valuable are his words?

One would think that was the only instance and maybe he could be forgiven for being ambitious but what about his relationship with PDP and Atiku? It is well known how he said on national television that PDP as a party is the only vehicle to his ambition, he also said Atiku has been an elder brother, a boss and a leader. It’s quite ironic that he would want to leave a party that gave him national prominence and wouldn't be bothered to inform the man he calls Leader and Elder brother. The same man that fought tooth and nail, to defend his choice as the vice presidential candidate.

Not just leaving the party, he has been casting aspersions at the party, at how corrupt the leaders of the party are, a party that until May, he was an active member of. This refers to how he described APGA as a motorcycle, and PDP a vehicle to his ambition on national Tv. The same PDP and APGA he is running against, one now ask, if Peter Obi cannot stand by the words he made in public, by oaths and declarations he made.

Now, the concern is who is Peter Obi? How real are his promises? Now I am concerned, because he is the candidate of the Labour Party, let's not talk about the whole issue of how he came to the party, I am more concerned with Peter Obi and the future of Labour Party.

So far so good, there has been little to show his interest in our collective vision as a party, he hardly campaign or support, the other candidates in the party. So far, in the campaign process, he hasn't really identified with either the gubernatorial or senatorial candidates of the party. Labour Party is offering Peter Obi a platform, basically on a platter of roses, he has done little to promote the interest of the party.

Which brings the concern I have, what happens after 2023. Let assume that he wins the election, what happens? Is he going to stick with the party, despite the fact that he hasn't identified with the other candidates? Or would he decamp to a party, with a more robust representation at the legislature? What happens if he lose? Would he stick with the party and build ahead of 2027, or would he stick to being typical and leave to the next VEHICLE that will drive his ambition?

We have all seen that his words of assurance cannot count for much, so what exactly does Peter Obi want from Us, are we just a vehicle to his ambition?

Which begs the question, Is he really the Jesus, we are told he is or maybe the Judas that betrayed Jesus?

According to Guardian newspaper of May 6, 2017, he was a shatterer of the myth of black inferiority as he was not only the first African to graduate successfully in 1960 from the prestigious Harvard University but he was also the only black till date to have won a coveted Francis H. Burr 'Harvard graduation' Scholarship Prize of Class '60. The graduation Prize of Harvard University that is being awarded for character, leadership, scholarship and athletic ability is 104 years old and had had as its 43rd and only black recipient (awardee) among the 104 awardees, Professor Lawrence Baraebibai EKPEBU.

Until his death, EKPEBU was relentless at improving the lots of Ijaw nation in tandem with his core Philosophy, which according to him, was, "Service to God and Mankind", as stated on his 82nd birthday in 2017. He was a seasoned public administrator, a renowned academic/ university don, a diplomat and a teacher of teachers. Prof EKPEBU contributed in no small measure to the development of Ijaw nation in many ways and that included but was not limited to his penchant and drive for ensuring overseas scholarship for Ijaw citizens across Nigeria. The impact of the Harvard University first black graduate continued to be felt by town and gown in the creeks of Ijaw nation and in Nigeria at large.

Ijaw nation shall miss the eminent scholar as the capacious shoes he left behind on the mucky clays, marshy shrubbery and in the murky waters of Ijaw nation's biosphere shall need another 'worthy' Ijaw feet to bear.

May God grant his family and the Ijaw nation the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss as His Creator grants him Eternal rest.

The former University Don gave the submission while addressing the media at the PDP Secretariat in Abuja on Monday, shortly after picking his Expression of Interest and Nomination Forms to contest in the forthcoming gubernatorial primary election of the party.

The primary is billed to hold in January 2022.

Eleka, who is believed to be the leading aspirant among others, giving the overwhelming support from party faithfuls and votes he garnered from good people of the state in 2018, expressed optimism of a prosperous state under his watch if elected by the electorates.

"I sincerely appreciate leaders and other members of our party for their continuous show of support and loyalty to our course to rebuild the party and take the state from the opposition to the ruling party.

"While moving together to a new phase of our struggle to emancipate Ekiti State and its people from the status quo of insecurity, loss of jobs and poor infrastructural development since APC came to power in 2018, I assure our able youths, amiable women and patriotic leaders that their respective constituencies will be adequately represented," He stated.

Calling on PDP stakeholders to join hands with him to fly the ticket of the party in the 2022 governorship election, Eleka promised to sustain the dignity of the party and never leave it to pursue personal interest elsewhere.

"It is only when we work together that we can achieve together. We need to sustain the dignity of this party and be in power come 2022," Eleka was quoted as saying.

Speaking further, he said:" The very first job of a leader is to inspire trust. Trust is the single most essential element to our ability to deliver extraordinary results in an enduring way. Today, I am carrying out the wishes of all sons and daughters of Ekiti who have reposed trust in me because they trust in my ability to deliver the dividends of governance in an extraordinary matter"

Among the stakeholders who identified with him while picking the form were; Mr Martins, Youth Leader, Ilejemeje Local Government, Mr Ajaa Olaiya Auditor, Ise/Orun Local Government, Prof. Popoola, Chief Barrister Femi Banjo, Prince Ademola Adebayo, Pastor Adeleke Olowokere, Hon.
