This is one reason why I like PDP. They know when to give up and move on. Life Continues!

The leadership of the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) has
commended the people of Anambra
state for the peaceful and orderly
conduct of last Saturday’s
governorship election.
The party also commended President
Goodluck Jonathan for providing
adequate security and the enabling
environment for credible, free and fair
election in the state in spite of any
perceived hitch(es).
PDP National Publicity Secretary,
Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on
Sunday said the party is satisfied that
despite the massive importation of
thugs and plots by the All
progressives Congress (APC) to
introduce violence to disrupt and rig
the election, the process was
conducted peacefully.
“The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
hereby commends President
Goodluck Jonathan for providing
adequate security and the enabling
environment for the conduct of
credible, free and fair governorship
election in
Anambra state last Saturday in spite
of any perceived hitch(es)
“In the same vein we commend the
entire people of Anambra state and
all stakeholders who played key roles
in ensuring peaceful and orderly
conduct of the process.
“While we now await the official
result, we wish to express our
satisfaction that the election was
conducted without disturbances,
despite the massive importation of
political thugs by the All progressives
Congress (APC) as well as their
heinous plots to introduce violence to
disrupt and rig the poll having
discovered that they have
been rejected by the people.
“We also commend the candidate of
our great party, Comrade Tony
Nwoye for his resilience, grass root
appeal and credible outing which
brought him to the forefront in the
race despite having only two weeks
to campaign. This is evident in the
results so far released in which he
roundly defeated the candidate of the
APC who has been campaigning for
four months before our candidate.
The PDP is indeed happy with
Comrade Tony Nwoye’s performance
so far.
“While we charge all our members to
continue to remain calm and focused,
we wish to state that our final
position on the election will be made
known when the overall result is
declared by INEC.

THE National Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP),
Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, says the crisis
rocking his party is a blessing in
disguise.
Tukur, however, dismissed the
insinuation of imminent implosion in
the ruling party.
He restated the party’s claim that it
had not been notified of the verdict of
an Appeal Court ordering the
reinstatement of its sacked National
Secretary, Prince Olagunsoye
Oyinlola.
He stressed the need for members of
the PDP to work with unity of
purpose, insisting that this was the
way forward.
The PDP chairman said this, on
Friday, in Lagos, at a reception to
commemorate his recognition as
‘African Man of the year 2013′, by the
Congressional Black Caucus of the
United States.
Tukur stated that the PDP was in a
class of its own for having the most
diverse membership nationwide just
as he called for unity within the party
especially in the a South-west
region.
He said “It is my prayer that the unity
of purpose being exhibited here today
would translate into political unity for
the success of our party in the South-
West in the coming elections,” he
added.
According to him, “The problem our
party is passing through is a blessing
in disguise; we have to thank God
that it is now a thing of the past,
notwithstanding the exaggeration
that the press is giving what
ordinarily is a family feud.”
He argued that differences of the
nature the PDP had witnessed in
recent times were not unexpected in a
party as big as the PDP which main
focus is democracy.
Said he: “Each and every member of
our great party is given freedom of
expression; we dialogue and discuss
freely, in the process we disagree, and
this we all resolve amicably. “You
will recall that almost all our
members who left the party usually
came back, because it is the only
party in the country that allows
freedom of expression and dialogue
rather than operate a formal system,
like others where directives are given
for compulsory implementation by
other leaders and members. God
forbid that!
“Our party says election not selection;
our party says consensus not
imposition.”

LOL

No surprises here. Coming from this charlatan who carries a huge integrity baggage, throwing his support for a diversionary exercise, designed to conceal his gross incompetence and inadequacies.

His Eminence, the Sultan of Sokoto,
Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar,
yesterday averred that there is no
problem between Christianity and
Islamic religions but instead,
between Christians and Muslims.
The Sultan, who was speaking as a
co-convener of an Interfaith Mini
Conference, which held in Abuja
yesterday, said it was imperative for
Nigerians, regardless of their religious
differences, to accept the fact that we
were all created by one God and as
such, should live as one family.
He said “you cannot claim to love
God when you don’t love your
neighbour”, adding that the adherents
of Christianity and Islam have many
things in common.
He stressed the need for peaceful co-
existence, which according to him,
was imperative now more than ever
before.
“There are problems in this country,
particularly in the North, that require
solutions; let us not deceive
ourselves that there are no problems.
“There is no problem between
Christianity and Islam but between
Christians and Muslims, and we must
all agree to find solutions to these
problems dividing us rather than
uniting us”, he said.
“It is important to know where we
started derailing from being one
another’s brother”, he stated.
Also speaking, His Eminence,
Cardinal John Onaiyekan, who was
also a co-convener, said all hands
must be on deck to address political
crises which often turned religious.
He stressed that if the adherents of
Christianity and Islam would live by
the provisions of their Holy Books, the
country would be better off.
He decried the manipulation of
religion and politics and called on
religious leaders to be on guard and
intensify efforts aimed at finding
solutions to religious crises tearing
the country apart.
“If we have no peace, it is because we
forget that we belong together, and if
people live by what they profess, the
world will be in peace”, Onaiyekan
reiterated.
Contributing, His Highness, the Etsu
Nupe, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar, called
on religious bodies to adhere strictly
to the rules of their religions.
While decrying the high level of
impunity in the system, the Etsu Nupe
stressed that “unless and until the
laws of Christianity and Islam and
those of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria are adhered to strictly, the
results of our religious differences will
be better imagined than experienced”.
He expressed the hope that decisions
reached at the end of the conference
would be fully implemented.
Earlier in the first paper presentation,
Professor Adamu Baikie, who spoke
on the theme of the conference ‘The
Imperatives of Interfaith
Understanding and Co-operation for
Responsible Politics’, identified
religious, political, social, ethnic and
legal issues as the reasons why
interfaith dialogue has failed, and the
causes of inter-religious tensions and
crises in Nigeria.
He stressed the need for religious
leaders to put their followers on the
right track to achieve peaceful co-
existence.

Adamawa State governor Sule
Lamido has taken a swipe at former
education minister Prof Jubril Aminu
over his comment that members of
the breakaway faction of the ruling
Peoples Democratic Party,
particularly the G-7 governors, were
fighting for their personal interests.
The governor told the erstwhile
senator to “shut up”, saying the
comment of the PDP Board of
Trustees (BoT) member was made so
he could “remain politically relevant”.
Aminu had last week said at his 75th
birthday: “I have nothing against the
APC, but I don’t understand what
they are doing; they want people to
come from another party to join and
make them strong. Unfortunately,
they are going to the wrong people
because, in the state, Nyako has no
structures to take to the APC because
he was defeated in the recent
Nassarawo/Binyere State Assembly
polls held in his LGA.
“A lot of these aggrieved governors of
the new PDP are trying to find
themselves out of the struggle; they
are fighting for their personal
interests. Why have my brother Sule
Lamido, governor of Jigawa State,
and others not left the party yet? He
can’t, because PDP made him foreign
affairs minister of this country and
governor and he cannot turn his back
to these things. Or is it the Kano State
governor or Niger State governor? So
what are they waiting for?”
He argued that the low turnout of
people to the meeting of APC leaders
with Gov. Murtala Nyako of
Adamawa State sent a clear message
that the Adamawa people were not in
support of the governor’s moves.
But Lamido, in a statement issued by
his chief press secretary, Umar Kyari,
faulted Aminu’s position even as he
said the G-7 governors’ stance
against the Bamanga Tukur-led PDP
was based on principle.
The statement reads: “On Monday,
November 11, 2013, a couple of
Nigerian dailies carried reports of
unwarranted attack on the G-7
governors by Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) Board of Trustees
member, Prof. Jibril Aminu. I am not
surprised that these attacks are
coming from my elder and leader who
found a new pastime by picking on
G-7 governors and myself in
particular to remain politically
relevant.
“I had cause to respond to a similar
attack over my appointment by Mr
President to head a committee to
investigate Adamawa PDP crisis with
a view to bringing peace to the PDP
family in Adamawa State.
“Having been forced to again correct
the records, I would like to state that
there was nowhere the G-7 governors
ever made the claim that we were
‘fighting’ our party to prove our
political relevance. It is all on
principles and against the impunity of
Bamanga Tukur, pure and simple!
This basic fact must be recognized by
my elder Jubril Aminu.
“Now coming to my person as Sule
Lamido, Prof. Aminu knows more
than anybody my role in making and
sustaining his political relevance in
Adamawa and Nigeria. He knew he
was politically dead and out in the
general election of 2003. His personal
testimony to this was his interview
over the BBC accepting defeat of his
senatorial election to the rival AC/
ANPP.
“It pains me to come to this level to
demand that my brother shut up! He
is devaluing and diminishing himself
to desperately remain ‘afloat and
relevant’. I feel embarrassed for him!
As for me, I can say I don’t need to
prove anything to anybody! I think I
can certainly modestly lay some
claim to political relevance NOT only
in my state or the North, but in
Nigeria.”
