APC will swallow opposition parties under my watch — Ganduje
•clarifies meeting with Wike

•your plot inimical to democracy, LP replies Ganduje

Former Kano state governor and Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Umar Ganduje has revealed his plan to open discussion with opposition political parties to merge with APC.

Ganduje disclosed his move on Tuesday night while speaking with journalists shortly after his meeting with former Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong.

Ganduje had earlier had a private meeting with former Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike at his residence in Abuja.

He dropped the hint that he has started reaching out to chieftains of certain opposition parties in other to consolidate the ruling party’s grip on the political space ahead of the 2027 general elections.

Ganduje also said he has a blueprint for increasing the membership drive in his party.

He said:” It will certainly improve the chances of this our party, especially in 2027 and not only that we are coming out with a new blueprint to increase the followership of the party and this we include all strata of officials; those who are in APC and those who are in other political parties. I assure you very soon some of the political parties will even merge with the APC. We are doing that underground.”

Asked about his meeting with a chieftain of the main opposition party and Minister-designate, Nyesom Wike, the APC Chairman who acknowledged that the former Rivers State governor would be an asset to APC, however, claimed that their private meeting has nothing to do with the latter plans to dump the PDP.

“You know Wike is an honourable Minister-designate. So he came, we discussed it because I was looking for him to congratulate him on that, and also he came to congratulate me. We discussed that when he becomes Minister fully, he will work very hard in order to move the Ministry he is given forward and he is ready to cooperate.

“But we didn’t discuss the issue of his coming to APC or not coming to APC. That issue will arise later.”

Reacting to the APC plan for a merger with other opposition parties, National Publicity Secretary of the Labour Party, Obiorah Ifoh told Tribune Online in a telephone interview that his party would not be involved in such a plan as he noted that it would be inimical to the growth of democracy.

He said: “I haven’t heard about it. But in responding to your question, LP has no business with a merger with any other political party because our aims and objectives are quite different from what APC stands for.

“In any case, our interest now is to regain our mandate through the tribunal. That’s our own interest. We don’t intend to open a discussion with APC or any other party. For us, we won’t have anything to do with APC. So, we wish APC well in its unification drive. In any case, it won’t augur well for democracy when you try to unify political parties. We need diverse political parties for the growth of democracy.”

The National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, has admitted that President Bola Tinubu inherited a bad economy from President Buhari administration that he is working hard to fix.

Though, during the 2023 election, President Tinubu had hailed economic progress of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration and attacked the opposition parties for underscoring the failures of eight years of APC rules and proposals on the economy and the social welfare of the citizens.

In his final broadcast to the nation, President Buhari had said “I am confident that I am leaving office with Nigeria better in 2023 than in 2015.”

Now, apparently in the contrary, Nuhu Ribadu, while addressing a meeting of the Presidential Steering Committee on Palliatives at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Monday, admitted that “We inherited a very bad situation,” and pleaded with organised labour to give the administration little chance to fix the battered economy.

“The meeting was an opportunity for us to appeal to the labour leaders by extension Nigerians that we are facing difficulties and challenges that are not our making. We inherited a very bad situation. Most of the problems people are talking about are not a creation of this government. This government is barely two months old and since we have been facing these difficulties and challenges, we have a listening and engaging President, a president who will want to have a conversation and react.

“He is truly, genuinely, honestly doing it. Our appeal is please Nigerians give us the support that is needed and required, we are working, we are trying to change things. We inherited a very bad situation, we are trying to stop all those things we witnessed in the past, we are trying to stop the killings, stop the attacks on trains, stop attacks on prisons, stop IPOB what they are doing, stop bandits, stop Boko Haran,” he said.

However, the organized labour maintained the stand to proceed with its planned protest over the removal of petroleum subsidy.

The President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Joe Ajaero, spoke with State House reporters after another round of meeting of the Presidential Steering Committee on Palliatives at the presidential villa, Abuja.

He said the plan for workers to proceed on a peaceful protest from Wednesday has not changed.

Ajaero, who dismissed fears that the peaceful protest could be hijacked by hoodlums, said such had never happened in the history of workers’ protest.

He, however, said it was the responsibility of security agencies to provide security for the protest to protect the workers.

The NLC boss also expressed doubts about President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ability to control inflation and gasoline prices due to the unification of the exchange rate.

He said the meeting of the Steering Committee adjourned till 12noon on Tuesday to enable the labour leaders to listen to the president’s national broadcast on Monday.

Reacting to Tinubu’s plan to intervene on exchange rate over inflation and high cost of gasoline prices, Ajaero said:

“By the time you have a single market and you are not having anything that has a comparative advantage, your energy is import driven, then how are you going to control it? How are you going to control somebody that exchanged dollar at about 900 (naira)? Are you going to tell him to sell below the price?

“How are you going to tell even NEPA today, with the cost of production not to increase tariff? Even corn in the villages that was sold at N18,000 by February, now it’s about 56,000. How are you going to control it?”

On his side, the Chief of Staff to the President said that issues were trashed at the closed door meeting and that they adjourned to listen to the President broadcast.

He also said the government was dealing with the oil cabals that have brought the economy to its knees.

“We have been locked behind for a couple of hours, we had a good meeting, issues were thrashed out on the situation in Nigeria today in terms

APC state Chairmen From The 7 States Of The North West Geopolitical Zones Endorse Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje For The APC National Chairmanship Position.

The Obi-Datti Media office has watched with profound concern the orchestration by agents of retrogression to distract and defocus the nation’s Judiciary from the critical national assignment before them.

We find absolutely needless and utterly unacceptable some of the curious happenings around our Judiciary lately, starting with the threat of anarchy and chaos should the ruling party’s candidate be legally removed by the Presidential Election Petition Court (PECP); the allegations of a telephone conversation between the esteemed Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Olukoyade Ariwoola with some persons, which the Supreme Court has since denied, and most recently, the bizarre fake news claiming that one of the panelists at the ongoing hearing before the PEPC had resigned.

Without a doubt, those behind these strange contrivances have their devious motives, which certainly are not in the national interest. Our Judiciary should not be burdened by these distractions when their entire focus should be on the critical national assignment, which requires their total concentration and everybody’s support and cooperation to conclude.

It’s indisputable that the future of this country is tied to the outcome of the Judiciary’s assignment. Every hand must be on deck to help them pilot the ship of Nigeria State to safety away from perdition.

Obi-Datti Media office, therefore, wishes to call on all patriots desirous of seeing a new Nigeria to desist from any action that may hinder the delivery of justice by their Lordships.

Relatedly, we also want to use this medium to warn these rogue Troll and Fog Machine agents to desist from ongoing attempts to smear or entrap Peter Obi and Datti Baba-Ahmed under whatever ploy. We recall at least seven failed fake demarketing and discrediting campaigns against our Principals.

We are all the more concerned about plans to escalate these desperate acts ahead of the PEPC judgment. Nigerians must not be gullible to believe or accept such deep, fake, and dubious ploys, all in the name of partisan politics. While we continue to appreciate our security agencies’ efforts to secure Nigeria, we implore them to ensure that our Principals are safe and secure in their persons, movement and properties as they go about their public and private endeavours.
ObiDattiMedia office, therefore, wishes to call on all patriots desirous of seeing a new Nigeria to desist from any action that may hinder the delivery of justice by their Lordships or other forms of nefarious activities that may heat the national polity.

PRESS RELEASE

July 10,2023

PETER OBI NEVER GRANTED ANY INTERVIEW ON PLANS TO BECOME PRESIDENT IN 2027

Our attention has been drawn to a publication in the Daily Post and some social media networks on an interview granted by His Excellency Peter Obi to Arise tv.

We want to quickly point out that this is the highest level of yellow journalism taken too far all in a bid to change the narrative as there was no time HEPO granted such a nebulous interview to Arise tv.

HEPO arrived Nigeria from an overseas trip just this weekend and for any reputable media organisation to publish such a fallacy and complete fabrication calls to question the kind of journalism some Nigerians are practicing.

For all avoidance of doubt, HEPO did not at anytime grant such an interview to any media organisation in Nigeria or outside the country. Please note!

A dreaded former militant commander in the Niger Delta popularly called General Amagbein Boro is mobilising thousands of youths to occupy Abuja against forces threatening to disrupt the inauguration of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Monday.

Amagbein, who is the Founder of the famous youth group, the Niger Delta Amagbein Movement (NDAM), kicked against some treasonable statements emanating from persons he described as the enemies of the country saying they were capable of causing chaos in the polity.

He bemoaned the effrontery of a few aggrieved and self-centered coupists sponsoring a grand design to thwart the presidential inauguration, which he said had been exposed by the Department of State Security (DSS).

Amagbein said his group comprising thousands of youths would occupy Abuja in support of Tinubu to stop unscrupulous elements’ plot to undermine the security architecture of the country.

He said any attempt by anybody no matter how highly placed to disrupt the inauguration would be crushed with a greater resistance from the creeks of the Niger Delta.

He said: “It is unfortunate that few aggrieved enemies of the state would muster effrontery to challenge our collective resolve. They will be greeted with our greater will.

“I am calling on all patriots of the Niger Delta to occupy the streets of Abuja chanting songs of victory, stand gallantly strong and defend the mandate of the President-elect, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu against any perceived enemy of democracy.

“I encourage youths that as they occupy Abuja, they must not deter in their course to support security agencies in protecting Tinubu’s mandate and supporting the military to defend the sovereignty of the country under the watch of the present administration.

“The emergence of Asiwaju as President-elect is the collective resolve of the Niger Delta to further the course for restructuring and resource control.

“I am, therefore, optimistic that the Tinubu’s administration would look into the issues of the modular refinery and creation of opportunities for the region, a long awaited dream, that I have been fighting for”.

Amagbein said he had issued his last warnings to treasonable elements saying any action by the enemies of the state against the country before or after the inauguration “will be greeted with drums of native songs and sounds of metals as no price is too much to pay for the sovereignty of the country.

The most blatant rigging that took place in the last elections was the Senatorial election in the FCT. I have lived in Abuja for 22 years & to say that Ireti Kingibe, the Labour Party candidate, won the election is a joke. All will be exposed at the election tribunal and justice shall prevail.

To "elect" an Obidient who constantly seeks to demean, ridicule and undermine the indigenous Gbagyi population to represent the good people of the FCT in the Senate is not only part of a wider agenda to undemine and destroy the unity of our country but also constitutes a security risk and a surreptitious attempt to change the demographics of our nations capital.

This must be resisted at all costs and by all lawful means.

BREAKING: Supreme Court affirms Adeleke’s election as Osun governor, seals Oyetola, APC’s defeat

Babalola, who is also a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), made the proposal on Monday at a media briefing held at the Afe Babalola University in Ado Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital.

He raised fears that using the current Constitution to conduct another election in Nigeria would only reproduce the faulty leadership and system being experienced in the country.

In a bid to prevent Nigeria from slipping into such a situation, the legal icon stressed that a new constitution has become an urgent need.

Elder statesman, Chief Robert Clarke, has called for a tenure extension for President Muhammadu Buhari to enable him to tackle the nation’s problems before elections can be held.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) argued on Monday that the few months remaining before the 2023 elections are not sufficient to put an end to the insecurity in the country to make the conduct of the election possible.

Answering questions on Arise Television programme, he maintained that the Constitution provides that the President can extend his tenure for six months in the first instance if he feels that conditions are not good to carry out elections.

He averred that it was wrong to believe that the President cannot stay in office for more than eight years of two tenures.

According to him, the President can continue to give himself a fresh six months extension until such a time election could be held in the country.

Clarke warned that the nation may not survive if nothing was done before the elections.

The Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu, has alleged a sinister plot to cause a crisis that will lead to the postponement and disruption of the February 25 polls in Nigeria.

He stated this at the presidential campaign rally at the Ekiti Parapo Pavilion in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti State capital, on Friday.

“They want to provoke you to violence, so that election will be disrupted and postponed, and they can cunningly introduce an interim government, that’s their plot. But this will backfire because we are wiser,” the former Lagos governor said.

The APC presidential candidate asked the people to stand firm and resist any negative plot by destroyers.

Activist Pastor of the House of God Church, Chris Okotie, has joined prominent Nigerians calling for an Interim National government to replace President Muhamamdu Buhari’s administration whose tenure expires next year.

Okotie, who spoke in Lagos yesterday, said the Presidential system of Government has failed, and should be jettisoned for the good of Nigerians.

He had contested for the office of the President three times but failed. Several times in his comments on national issues, Okotie claimed that he has the solution to Nigeria’s problems.

The controversial Pastor spoke barely three months after renowned legal luminary, Afe Babalola also called for the installation of interim government after the exit of Buhari in 2023.

Babalola, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, said the country has been damaged beyond repair, adding that the solution is to install a temporary Government that would usher in a new Government after the conduct of a Constitutional confab.

A former Information and National Orientation Minister Labaran Maku has admitted many saw the ‘Obidient’ movement and the Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate Peter Obi as a joke.

Obi, a former Anambra State governor, took the nation by storm when he emerged as a third-force candidate. Despite being dismissed as lacking a political structure, the LP candidate who enjoys a huge youth following scored over six million votes and won in 11 states to finish third in the just-concluded exercise.

But while fielding questions on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily about the outcome of the 2023 elections, Mr Maku admitted that the opposition politicians never gave the LP candidate and his supporters a chance.

“What happened in the presidential election as you could see was that there was this wave of young people, the ‘Obidients’ that we all took for granted and we were thinking Peter Obi was a joke. Where would he go?” the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain said on the breakfast show Tuesday.

“So, both PDP and the APC, we were thinking ‘This man does not have structure. He will not be able to do so much’.”

He, however, maintained that young people proved them wrong and put up an unprecedented showing in the 2023 elections.

“But the young people seized the initiative from the politicians. And for the first time – what we saw in Nasarawa, Edo, several other places, and in Delta State where the PDP vice presidential candidate comes from – we saw that young people were serious about what they were doing and they took advantage of social media to project a programme which has shaken the nation.”

The PDP chieftain from Nasarawa State admitted that the party lost the presidential election in the state to LP but claimed the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC)’s win in the governorship poll was faulty.

For him, the results of the governorship election declared by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were concocted.

ASIWAJU IS COMING

But why is @ChibuikeAmaechi only complaining on 18 March? Why did he not complain on Sat 25 Feb 2023 when the same "forces" were used to massively alter @inecnigeria Result Sheets to transfer votes of @PeterObi
to another Candidate ?  Was it okay then to rob Peter to pay Paul?

The voter intimidation going on in Lagos State is unacceptable. Governor Sanwo-Olu needs to speak out against it. APC is tarnishing the reputation of Yoruba people for political gain. This is not who we are, please.
If Lagosians want GRV, let them have GRV. It's their choice.

I had to delete a tweet about the long history of westerners' contribution to the unity of Nigeria because of what APC affiliated thugs are doing.

The president-elect, Bola Tinubu, on Thursday said Nigeria’s politics is intact.

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that in an article titled ‘Nigeria: At the Cusp of Renewed Hope’, the APC chieftain said the impressive showing of “new parties” in the February 25 presidential election “underscores the dynamic strength of our democracy”.

Tinubu said: “Critics of Nigeria have been too quick to conclude that our political system is fragmented because of the impressive showing of new parties and their candidates.

“These critics are wrong. The emergence of the new parties and their candidates underscores the dynamic strength of our democracy.

“People want democracy to work and they want to have their voices heard and interests met within it. This is a good thing to be promoted, not something to be feared.

“What must concern us is not the growth of parties but the regrowth of old prejudices and bigotries such as ethnicity, creed and place of origin. As a nation and as individuals imbued with the love of God and of our fellow man, we are better than this.”

The Election that declared Peter Obi re-elected Governor in 2010 was reported here by International Observers as very fraudulent yet he defended the mandate & rebuffed the Observers. Hypocrisy at its peak!

Incumbent declared winner in flawed Nigeria poll

GOVERNOR Nyesom Wike has described Labour Party (LP) candidate, Peter Obi, as the hero of the 2023 presidential election for scuttling the chances of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar, thereby preventing North from holding on to power.

Wike, addressing a cluster of Rivers state traders associations Saturday in Port Harcourt, said, “Obi is my hero. If Obi did not contest, power would have gone back to the North. The whole of South-South and South-East that PDP lost if Obi did not contest PDP would have won.”

“Obi is the hero. He may not have been pronounced the winner, but no problem, the law will take its course. If Obi did not run this election, power would have remained in the North. Whether he is declared winner now or not, history will be on his side, that he fought and fought well.”

The governor knocked his predecessor and immediate past Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, for wooing Igbos in Rivers to vote for All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Tonye Cole, as governor whereas he allegedly mobilised votes for Atiku in the presidential polls.

“If Amaechi loves the Igbos, why did he not support Obi? Instead, he supported Atiku. He did not want the power to return to the South because he lost his APC ticket”, Wike alleged against Amaechi.

The governor further said Amaechi is deliberately canvassing support for Cole as the next Rivers governor to evade ongoing prosecution for alleged embezzlement of $50M from the Rivers government coffers.

Chairmen of the Computer Dealers Association, Anunobi Ikechi and the Building Materials Traders Association, Okwudiri Onuorah, assured the governor of their support for Rivers PDP to go

Peter Obi Surges As Counting Begins For #NigeriaElections2023

Peter Obi lost his voice, yet still granted an interview. Nigeria deserves a president who is capable of & willing to work for Nigeria as hard as Peter Obi is working to win this election. You have to respect that.

It is a dreadful thing for Nigeria to fall into the hands of Obidients. If they can be this arrogant and domineering without power, imagine how they will be with power? Criticise Obi and you disappear. I shudder at the thought. God forbid! God forbid!! God forbid!!!

February 22, (THEWILL) – Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, has dissociated himself from recent claims by former Governor of the State and Chief Whip of the Senate, Orji Uzor Kalu, that he and other members of the G5 are supporting Bola Ahmed Tinubu, presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Kalu had in a recent interview with Channels Television on Monday, said, “Tinubu is well-liked by the North and is from the South-West and is going to get a [sizeable] vote in Imo, Ebonyi, Abia, Anambra and Enugu. And he’s going to have the support of Governor Wike of Rivers State, so we’re on track.

“My Governor here, Okezie Ikepazu, will also support Tinubu. My senatorial district is going to give Tinubu the vote, the puncher to give the 34, 35 per cent to be on the ballot.”

Speaking on Tuesday, after inspecting the ongoing final asphalt overlay on Faulks Road, in Aba, Ikpeazu said “no member of G5 can railroad another member into supporting anyone against his will as suggested by Senator Kalu,” he said.

Ikpeazu, who dismissed Senator Kalu’s statement, described it as mere wishful thinking and the usual political speculation associated with the season.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Ikpeazu has not endorsed Tinubu and will not endorse him because he is a leader that is guided by the feelings of his people.

“PDP remains formidable and all our candidates in the forthcoming elections hold very strong prospects of winning in Abia,” the Abia PDP Campaign Council also declared in a statement.

The statement issued by Chief John Okiyi Kalu, the Director of Strategic Engagement, said “Governor Ikpeazu is a democrat and even as he frowns at some decisions of his party, the PDP, he remains a committed member of the PDP family.

“Ikpeazu is in touch with Abians and will not derail from the decision of a majority of his people, which does not presently incline towards APC or its presidential candidate, Senator Bola Tinubu.

“It is noteworthy that in the field, APC structures in Abia South Senatorial District have completely collapsed into the PDP as was seen during the PDP rally held at Ahiaba in Obingwa LGA. So it is laughable for anyone to imagine the Governor working for the same party that has collapsed as a result of the good work the Governor has been doing in the state.

“For the avoidance of doubt, Governor Ikpeazu has not endorsed Tinubu and will not endorse him because he is a leader that is guided by the feelings of his people. PDP remains formidable and all our candidates in the forthcoming elections hold very strong prospects of winning in Abia.

“We acknowledge the frustration of opposition parties in the state and sympathize with them on their imminent rejection by the people, who see the PDP as a steady hand guaranteeing continuing peace and progress of the state.

“Abians cannot abandon the PDP, which gave them over 200 roads including 4 bridges, 700 new classroom blocks, sent some of her youths abroad on scholarships and trained shoemakers overseas. It is unthinkable for our people to abandon such a party, which built 2 brand new giant firms that have been gainfully employing our people and engaging them in other numerous positive ways

“The PDP government of Dr Okezie Ikpeazu has employed over 10,000 youths through direct jobs in TIMAAS, APUMA, ENASCO, Abia school feeding programmes, ASEPA etc. It has facilitated regular power supply in parts of Aba through delineated support to Geometric Power Company and has bequeathed the first free trade zone in the Southeast through Enyimba Economic City.

“It is because we are proud of our record as a party and government that our candidates are campaigning on those records, whereas our opponents are engaging in propaganda and outright falsehood to attempt to hoodwink voters.

“As of today, Abia remains the safest state in the Southeast. To the glory of God, the state has not witnessed any success

Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, has insisted that President Muhammadu Buhari made a mistake concerning the naira redesign policy.

Speaking in an interview with the BBC Hausa, El-Rufai said the policy was introduced to make the All Progressives Congress (APC) lose in the election.

He said governors were against the policy because of the hardship it has put people into and not because of vote buying.

“We reviewed this policy and the hardship it put people into and the feeling of hatred Nigerians developed for the APC because Nigerians are putting the blame on the APC and the people who introduced the policy did it to make our party lose in the election.

“After we finished our review, we agreed that the judgement of the Supreme Court should be followed which is the old and new notes should be used until the case is over.

“Did vote buying start today? Why was the money not redesigned before? Why now? Secondly, is vote buying only done with naira? It can be bought using dollar, euro, Cefa, you can give the voters food.

“There are several ways through which you can buy votes. You cannot take money out of politics, but you can reduce it.

“We are not against this policy because of vote buying. I swear to God we are against it because of how we saw people are suffering, not the elections.

“The people who pushed for the naira redesign are not members of the APC. You see Godwin Emefiele, it was the PDP that brought him. The others with who the decision was taken with them we know them and when the time comes, we will expose them because they are not members of our party.

“God willing on Saturday the masses will retaliate against those who want to drag our party to the ground. Those who APC gave an opportunity to get money more than what will be sufficient for them to do shopping because some of them we knew how things were difficult for them eight years ago, but now, they have money more than you could imagine.

“I swear to God we will bring them out and ask them where they got their money from.

“Because the president is a person who believes in people, and we (governors), our image has been tarnished. He has been told that governors are thieves which is why we are against the naira redesign policy.

“Even if we go to him and say ‘our leader, you have been lied to in this place’, and he says I understand and will take action on it, the moment we depart, he will be told not to take any action.
