Reminiscent of the Daniel Kalu led "Youth Earnestly Yearn for Abacha" group.

They are working to collect from the national cake being shared in panic by the failed politicians.

I wonder how many Igbos they can convince to vote for the man that sent tanks and live ammunition to kill and intimidate people in their homes.

PDP govs meet over Wike, ‘packaging’ Dankwambo for presidency

Some PDP governors between Sunday night and early yesterday held a closed door meeting at the Government House in Gombe, where they reportedly discussed “the excessive powers” being wielded by Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State with a view to checkmating him.

Sources said the meeting which had some PDP governors and representatives of others in attendance, also witnessed the presence of some members of the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party.


It was gathered that besides discussing how to reclaim the party, the PDP leaders also discussed the probability of fielding Governor Ibrahim Hassan Dankwambo as their presidential candidate, next year.
Wike or his representative, as well as the National Chairman of the party, Prince Uche Secondus, were conspicuously absent at the meeting, with sources saying the duo deliberately absconded because they were “the main subjects of discussion.”

Wike was widely reported to have worked for the emergence of Secondus as PDP national chairman, and since the December 2017 convention, he (Wike) had remained “very powerful in the PDP.” Two party stalwarts, professors Jerry Gana and Tunde Adeniran at the weekend defected to the Social Democratic Party (SDP); citing Wike’s alleged overbearing influence as motivation for their departure.

At the end of yesterday’s meeting in Gombe, the PDP leaders only told journalists that they were not happy with President Muhammadu Buhari’s alleged laxity in the fight against the Boko Haram insurgents and the poor state of the economy.

Governors present at the meeting included Emmanuel Udom (Akwa Ibom), Benedict Ayade (Cross River), Okezie Ikpeazu (Abia), Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi (Enugu), Ayodele Fayose (Ekiti), Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta), Darius Ishaku (Taraba), Ibrahim Dankwambo (Gombe), and Rear Admiral John Jonah who represented Governor Henry Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State.

The National Secretary of the party, Umar Tsauri and the Deputy National Chairman (South), Elder Yomi Akinwumi were some of the NWC members that attended the meeting.

The PDP had zoned its presidential ticket to the North and at present, it had only two serving governors from the region, Dankwambo who was serving his second term and his counterpart in Taraba, Ishaku who was about three years into his first term.

“The governors are actually looking inwards,” a source said. “They want one of their own as possible presidential candidate that would challenge President Muhammadu Buhari,” he said.

Another source conversant with the internal intrigues of the party confided that soon after the convention, Governor Wike had been boasting that he handpicked the executives of the party and would always have his way. “He is the one who prompted serious party leaders to leave recently,” he said.

Addressing newsmen after the meeting, Fayose who is the Chairman of the PDP Governors Forum, said the abduction of 110 girls at a school in Dapchi, Yobe State, confirmed the ruling APC’s “nonchalant attitude in the fight against insurgency in the North East.”
The PDP governors also alleged that President Buhari’s administration had failed to fulfil any of the campaign promises made to Nigerians before the 2015 election.

Skepticus:
The flexibility of guerrilla and unconventional approach to warfare is the best at fighting conventional armies which are usually rigid.

With it, the best armies in the world have been defeated by smaller and ill-equipped bands of determined fighters.

Boko Haram has maximized, even to brutal levels. The better equipped but poorly cordinated nigerian army don't stand a chance against these rebels

megapriest:
The simple fact is that Nigeria government especially top military cabal does not have political will to end the fight because that's their means of embelzement ..after Dasuki gate, buraris government still plan to acquire 1billion dollars to fight Boko Haram. if they should end the war how would they get the money. I Fear Nigeria my Country

wildkat:
That's to tell you say that we've got no armed forces, therefore we're prone to attack.

Megatrix:
The didn't flee, they just did a tactical manoeuvre into cameroun to outflank, encircle and isolate boko haram elements............. That's what the army spokesman will say when he is asked

kabrud:
Go and get your PVCs, we don't need roads in Aba, all we need is Jonathan, we must vote out the dullard.

chuksjuve:
Who won't flee?
When there's life , there's hope ...

Sometimes I pity out Nigerian armed forces fighting a battle they have no idea of..

Whereas those who purportedly started this war are somewhere in their homes relaxing and enjoying at the expense of other people's life and comfort.

God help us

Cameroon Returns 4 Soldiers, 2 Mobile Policeman Who Fled There During Boko Haram's Attack On Rann

At least four soldiers and two mobile policemen, who fled to Cameroon during an attack by Boko Haram on Rann, Borno State, have been rescued and returned to Nigeria by Cameroonian troops. Security sources told SaharaReporters that they were handed to Nigerian troops at Gamboru-Ngala.

"The soldiers claimed to have fled gunfire that left eight security personnel dead." said a security source. Another source also disclosed that a nurse, Hauwa Mohammed, might have been rescued also by Cameroonian troops. This, however, could not be confirmed.

The source claimed that her family had received information of her freedom from her abductors.
