Victor Giabom is the real Chairman of the APC

Staro:
Wike should please calm down.

There's no time for whining.

Obaseki for second term

Edo is not Lagos

moderatedguy:
The Primaries is null and void according to APC chairman Anslem Ojezua.

SmartProf:
Once Obaseki steps up his compensation package for them and get to promise them some juicy incentives including contracts should he be re-elected, they will step down for him. Those 3 guys have planned how to cash out big o, so nobody should rush them

seunmsg:
Why should they step down for him?

If we are going to progress as a nation and improve our democratic processes, we need to start strengthening the internal democracy of our political parties. Political parties cannot throw up the best candidates if we keep manipulating the system to favour vested interests. General election is merely to fulfill all righteousness since the political elites already rigged the party primary against popular candidates.

Which one is more risky for COVID 19 between this one and putting 5000 delegates in one place?

The Peoples Democratic Party has confirmed plans to sack some of its national secretariat workers.

A memo to this effect has been circulated to all members of staff of the party.

A copy of the document obtained by our correspondent, in Abuja, on Thursday, said the exercise was approved during the party’s 89th National Executive Committee meeting.

The memo, which was titled “Implementation of the resolution of NEC on staff rationalisation,” did not specify the number of workers to be affected.

The memo, which was signed by the PDP Deputy National Secretary, Mr Agbo Emmanuel, also said the affected workers had an option of resigning honourably.

It said, “The NEC, at its 89th meeting on Thursday, February 27, 2020, adopted the following resolutions: NEC approved the rationalisation of staff of the PDP national secretariat. NEC committee on staff rationalisation was converted to implementation committee.

“The finance department was directed to pay immediately January and February salaries to all members of staff. Also, September to December 2019 staff housing allowance is to be paid immediately. That will be the last payments on the present salary structure.

“The list of staff affected by the rationalisation would be published shortly but affected staff members are given an option to resign honourably.”

Recall that the staff had, a few weeks ago, claimed that the party paid N12m as total monthly salaries for the establishment staff and those of the Peoples Democratic Institute and N5m for personal staff of members of the PDP National Working Committee.

The employees also alleged that they were being owed four months of consolidated housing allowance for 2019 even as the party realised about N6bn from the sale of forms for the 2019 general elections.

The workers had sent a separate memo titled, ‘NWC report on staff downsizing – the need for human face’ addressed to the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, and members of the PDP NEC,

Signatories to the document included Innocent Nwankwo (Chairman, Staff Welfare Committee); Imanfidon Samson, (Deputy Chairman; Alhaji Abubakar Mansur (Secretary); among others.

The memo read in part, “In the last quarter of 2018, the party netted about N6bn from the sale of forms for the 2019 general elections. NEC, in its wisdom, approved about N1bn to be set aside for payment of all salaries and allowances of staff for the whole of 2019.

“Later, about N700m was further collected from the sale of forms for Kogi and Bayelsa states governorship elections. All these notwithstanding, four months of consolidated housing allowance for staff for the said 2019 have not been paid as of today.”

Most of the times, the words spoken tend to pose challenge against the speaker. Oshomole once said that he was destroying godfatherism in Edo State. But he never mentioned that he was to be the god father. Now he wants to be one. The words are now staging a formidable resistance against him and. Unfortunately, he is not quick to understand what is on the ground for the moment.

Kundagarten:
Confused INEC. The worst INEC in the history of elections in Nigeria.
When opposition parties are winning, the election becomes inconclusive or they just shift the dates to allow for a different tactic to rig.
