Go Dakuku for Governor RiverState


GEJ for President.


It's not about the Party but about the Person behind the ticket....


That's why I'll never vote for Buhari or any past Soldier that tries to change Uniform to Coat.

[size=14pt]A MUST READ: THE TRUTH, NOTNING BUT, THE TRUTH.[/size]

I have been thinking seriously on why President Jonathan is constantly being derided and abused by a few but vociferous individuals. The most recent being that emanating from President Obasanjo’s latest book. But what now propelled me into contributing to this debate is the article written by Mr. Nnimmo Bassey, who I have very high regard for since our student days at the University of Nigeria, Enugu campus.

In that article captioned “A Clueless president,” he stated how an African friend he had not seen in years asked him about “his clueless President.” This demonstrates the need for us to remain decorous even in instances of very sharp disagreements. Quite often, Nigerians complain of
disrespectful treatments at the airports by immigration and custom officials. There is a saying in Igbo land to the effect that when you describe your cooking pot as useless, people will treat it as rubbish.

We Nigerians have often not been mindful of the damage we do to our country and ourselves when we denigrate our institutions and our leaders in a careless and reckless manner. It is even more so when such recklessness comes from a former president who should be more thoughtful and circumspect in his utterances and writings.

As we approach the 2015 presidential elections, the denigration of the office of the president is being escalated. The launch of the book, My Watch, by former President, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo (OBJ) was seen in this light by many commentators. The opposition party, the APC is also determined to do maximum damage to President Jonathan and the office of the President. The utterances from its leadership need a lot of moderation and scrubbing. They have also at various times described Mr. President as clueless and one who runs an auto pilot government. The radical changes promised by President Jonathan during his campaign were captured in the Transformation Agenda document. Programmes identified in this document will be used to evaluate the government of president Jonathan to see if his government can be described as clueless and running on auto pilot. An important barometer of a viable democracy is the sanctity of the voter’s wish.

When late President Yaradua took office, he acknowledged that his election was largely flawed and vowed to clean up the electoral process. President Jonathan who succeeded him have not disappointed in this regard. It is to his credit that subsequent elections have been largely declared as free and fair by international observers. Another important index and benefit of democracy is the freedom of expression, freedom of association and statutorily guaranteed access to information. Under President Jonathan, freedom of speech has remained unencumbered in spite of some unwarranted abuses his government has suffered. President Jonathan remains to date the most demonised, abused and derided President Nigeria has ever had. But it is to his credit that he has never used the security apparatus at his disposal to persecute any one. One can also acknowledge that he signed the Freedom of Information (FOI) Bill into law, a bill that the previous governments avoided for years.

Under President Jonathan, the power sector has witnessed the privatisation of the generation and distribution companies. If international and local assessments of this process are anything to go by, the bidding process has been mostly transparent. With this process concluded, one can anticipate an irreversible process in achieving stable power supply in no distant future, the same way the telecommunication sector benefited from privatization. The rehabilitation of the railway system deserves special mention. This important means of transportation has been unfortunately ignored by previous governments.

The progress being made in this sector in reopening the railway links to the major cities in Nigeria is commendable. This is being complemented with the dredging of the lower River Niger. We also take particular note of the ongoing construction of the new bridge over the River Benue and the commencement of work on the Second Niger Bridge. The aviation sector is another area that has witnessed significant transformation. The modernisations of the existing airports and construction of new airport terminals have improved the standing of Nigerian airports within the international aviation community. It is therefore not surprising that Nigeria has attained and retained the FAA Category One status. The launching of the National industrial Revolution Plan (NIRP), and the National Enterprise Development Programme has led to the resuscitation of Nigeria automobile industry.

Nigeria has moved from a net importer of cement to a net exporter of cement by increasing installed capacity from 16.5 million metric tons per annum in 2011 to 39.5 million metric tons per annum in 2014. The transformation agenda of Mr. President, if implemented faithfully, will no doubt significantly improve Nigeria economy. But we must be mindful of the fact that its impact and success rests on tackling the monster of corruption. One, therefore, cannot fairly evaluate this administration without assessing its approach to addressing the issue of corruption.

Although Nigeria has improved slightly with respect to the perception index of Transparency International, perception of corruption in Nigeria is still high. While there is often a mismatch between perception and reality, one cannot ignore perception. The truth, is that Mr. President needs to demonstrate that his government abhors corruption. While I agree with Mr. President that dealing with corruption is not about parading people on the television but devising creative and systematic means of addressing it, there is still need to combine the long term measure of Mr. President with some short term prescriptions.

One short term measure could be initiating an executive bill to set up Tribunals dedicated to trying cases of corruption. These tribunals should be presided over by credible retired judges. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has often complained about their frustration with the process at the existing courts. The conviction of Governor Ibori at the UK Court vis a vis the merry go round experienced in the same case in Nigeria is a case in point.

Having stated the issues above, it will be germane to acknowledge what this administration has already done to tackle corruption at its roots. These include the restructuring of the pension payment system, the restructuring of the integrated salary payment system, and the deregulation in the oil and gas sector to check corrupt practices in the downstream sector. The disappearance of perennial queues at our filling stations is one testimony to the success of the creative approach to stemming endemic corruption in the oil sector. Signing of the Anti-Money Laundering Act into law, introduction of an electronic-wallet scheme, that has reduced significantly decades of corruption in the fertiliser and seed sectors are also very creative.

13 Questions I Keep Asking Myself About BUHARI:

1: Can someone that REFUSED to ATTEND OPUTA PANEL when invited talk about justice?

2: Can someone whose statements are loaded with VIOLENCE assure peace?

3: Can someone who promised he would ensure that SHARIA LAW gets to all part of the country tolerate people from other religion?

4: Can someone that asked MUSLIMS TO VOTE ONLY MUSLIM be voted for by other religion?

5: Can someone that put Shagari in HOUSE ARREST and DR Alex Ekwueme in PRISON be absolved of tribal sentiments?

6: Can someone who used retroactive laws to KILL PEOPLE be trusted with our lives?

7: Can someone who says FIGHTING TERRORISM is against his people be allowed to be in charge of this country?

8: Can someone who executed 75% of PTF projects in the NORTH and distributed the remaining 25% among other regions when he was the PTF chairman be allowed to take charge of all projects in the country?

9: Can someone who as a military head of state who knows he would be overthrown but COULD NOT DO ANYTHING because his deputy was not around be classified as courageous?

10: Can someone who says ACN is corrupt but because of his presidential ambition now surrounds himself with ACN thieves be ABLE TO FIGHT CORRUPTION?

11: Can someone who as head of PTF DID NOT KNOW how billions of Naira got missing be trusted with our entire wealth as president?

12: Can someone who could not allow the economic of demand, supply and internal production factors to determine the prices of commodities but used SOLDIERS TO FORCE price control be able to handle present economic challenges?

13: Can someone who did not allow his government be criticised and UNJUSTLY ARRESTED those who criticised his government be given that oportunity to lead again,etc?

Honestly, Buhari is NOT the RIGHT person. Don't be blind. The change they shout could be negative as seen in some Northern African countries. Vote wisely.

Help someone vote right by forwarding this message to them

One thing I like about APC is the fact that they know how to bring out young and brilliant gentlemen. I watched Wike's rally the other day and was wondering whether I was watching a governorship rally or a motor park rally. I am not from Rivers but I pray Wike doesn't smell that seat. Rivers deserves a brilliant gentleman not a thug.

Peterside meets traditional
rulers of Andoni Kingdom,
receives blessing, support In an effort to bring traditional
rulers and chiefs of Andoni
Kingdom up to speed with
political developments in
Nigeria, the chairman, Rivers
State chapter of the All Progressives Congress APC,
Chief Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya,
himself an Andoni chief has
met his colleagues ahead of
next month’s election.

Ikanya who was accompanied on the solidarity visit by Dr. Dakuku Peterside, governorship candidate of the APC in Rivers State spoke extensively on matters of development, candidates for the election, parties and Nigeria’s two critical elections slated for 14 and 28 February 2015. Ikanya, who took off on a very sober note, described the last six years of Nigeria under the watch of a fellow Ijaw and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
as horrifying for the people of Rivers State in particular and
Nigeria in general.

According to the APC chieftain,
the highpoints of the ignoble
era included the criminal
deregulation of petroleum
products, the nine months
strike of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, the
worsening unemployment
situation, the immigration
scam that shook the nation,
the seizure of Rivers State oil
wells, the intimidation and subjugation of government
and people of Rivers State by
Abuja and other infractions
that characterised the last six
years under the leadership of
President Goodluck Jonathan.

“But I have good news for you.
God, in His infinite mercy has
brought APC to save us from
these mindless leaders who do
not care about us and our
future. What exactly did we do to them? If they were quarrelling with Governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi were they also quarrelling with the entire people of Rivers State? See how the man who lived here paid us back!

“Apart from the intimidation,
it also got to a time when we
all agreed that our next
governor must come from
another part of Rivers State in
the principle of rotation. But our brother joined hands with
our oppressors to frustrate our
Riverine aspiration and to deny
us our heritage. But God gave
us Peterside to console us. I
want to say right away that a good friend is better than a
bad brother. So we must
support General Muhammadu
Buhari because he has
promised to assuage our pain”. Ikanya who described
Peterside as a candidate of
liberation, both for the Andoni
and the people of Rivers State
warned his people to reject
Jonathan and the PDP because even the South-South region
were Jonathan hails from is
worse off today than it was
2009.

On his part, Peterside promised
to create wealth and jobs for
the unemployed, not only in
Andoni Local Government but
across Rivers State. He also
promised to establish cooperatives, encourage deep
fishing and address erosion
issues, among other things. A total of 54 Andoni Chiefs
attended the session. Andoni
chiefs prayed for and blessed
Dr Peterside describing him as
a worthy brother and
dependable representative.

My governor my governor.
Dakuku remains the best man for the job.
With a well written plan on what he intends to do as governor. Check out the roadmap for prosperity.
While Dakuku is busy campaigning, consulting and winning more supporters.
Wike goes about threatening people and claiming he has already won because of PEJ. Using his thugs to intimidate APC members and disrupting APC rallies, instead of telling us his plans for Rivers. What he fails to understand is that even GEJ and PEJ are not even sure of remaining in Aso rock beyond 2015.
