RT. HON. ROTIMI CHIBUIKE AMAECHI MEET WITH NIGER DELTA PEOPLE’S CONGRESS (NDPC).

AN ADDRESS PRESENTED TO THE HONOURABLE MINISTER OF TRANSPORTATION, RT. HON ROTIMI AMAECHI BY A DELEGATION OF NIGER DELTA PEOPLE’S CONGRESS (NDPC) ON THE OCCASION OF A CONSULTATIVE AND SOLIDARITY VISIT ON TUESDAY FEBRUARY 7TH AT BUKAR DIPCHARIMA HOUSE, CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, ABUJA.

We wish to thank the Hon. Minister of Transportation Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi for the gracious approval of this consultative and solidarity visit to enable the Niger Delta People’s Congress consult you and draw from your inexhaustible wealth of experience on the political and socio-economic direction of our region.

The entire membership of the Niger Delta People’s congress are so proud of your visible political accomplishments and giant strides that has brought our region to national and international limelight, and also imparted positively on the lives of our people.

The huge transformation we now experience in the hither to decadent transportation sector particularly with the introduction of the modern railway system and improvement in the service delivery in our ports are just a few of your numerous laudable initiatives.

Honourable Minister Sir, we wish to also acknowledge your various capacity building and constructive engagement policies that have placed a good number of citizens from the region in enviable positions of responsibility. These efforts have also taken many of our unemployed youths off the streets. The Niger Delta People’s Congress formally pledging her unflinching solidarity and supports to all your endeavors, ambitions and programmes that are in the direction of provoking sustainable peace, human and infrastructural development of the people of the Niger Delta in particular and Nigeria and humanity in general. We are using this opportunity to also unconditionally extend our support to President Mohammed Buhari (President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria) just as we wish him very quick return to the country to continue his administration’s most needed fight against corruption and infrastructural decadence.

It may suffice to stress that as part of our initiatives in the ongoing peace process in the region, a delegation of the Niger Delta People’s Congress met with His Excellency, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo on November 15, 2016 to redefine, reassert, re-prioritize, and place in proper perspective the genuine demands and aspiration of the region. The cardinal matters articulated included the imperative for the practice of true federalism, proper management of the 13%s derivation fund, adoption of political solution in the resolution of the matters involving the leadership of the Agitators, relocation of the headquarters of the multi-national oil corporation operating in the region to their operational base and their engagement of at least 60,000 unemployed youths, immediate commencement of academic activities at the National Maritime University, Okerenko, demilitarization of the region and the convocation of a stakeholder’s consultative forum to be anchored by the NDPC in collaboration with the Niger Delta Development Commission.

While appreciating the issues canvassed and the urgent need to amicably resolve them in the overall interest of the nation, Prof Yemi Osibanjo, the Vice president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria gave us an additional task of preparing a pragmatic Road Map, that we have done. The proposal for the stakeholder’s forum is also ready. Honourable Minister Sir, it is the wish of the people of the Niger Delta Region and the membership of the Niger Delta People’s congress that you use your highly esteemed position as a senior Minister in this political dispensation and as a patriotic, courageous, determined and illustrious son and foremost political leader of our region, to fast track the actualization of our collective dreams and aspirations as enunciated above and in many other areas including intervening in our despicable inland waterways transportation systems.

We wish to thank you immensely for this audience and to doubly reassure you of our commitment to your course and solidarity at all times. Wish you the very in all your endeavors.

Thanks and God bless. Long Live Federal Republic of Nigeria
Long Live the Niger Delta
Long Live Niger Delta People’s Congress.

Prof. Benjamin Okaba
Congress Secretary

TonyeBarcanista:

compare the definition with that of protest that I provided earlier (or check other sources).

PROTEST: Against

RALLY: Pro (but could be against)


Political Campaigns= RALLY

Opposition to a Policy/government= Protest.


I guess I shall draw the curtain here...

As u rally could be pro or against.When it is against what is it called?As u can see the rally we are talking about here is salvation rally which is against PDP-led govt.So what is the rally called?

TonyeBarcanista:

When making comparison, it is important that you pay attention to details Sir!

PROTEST:
[noun proh-test; verb pr uh- test , proh -test]
noun
an expression or declaration of objection, disapproval, or dissent, often in opposition to something a person is powerless to prevent or avoid:
a protest against increased taxation
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/protest

Meaning, protest is usually Anti-policy or anti-government, while rally is usually pro-cause.

You may say that protests are the negative side of the rally coin, but you can't call rallies to be protests.

Thank you

Attached here are the various dictionary definitions of a rally.Take a good look at it and get back to me

TonyeBarcanista:
OP that wasn't a protest, it was an APC rally. The rally was about APC being the saviour and not about Jonathan.

Beside, it was held during a period to prepare the party for 2015 general election.

Please, do know the distinction between a rally and a protest.


BTW: Let everyone exercise his/her right, those that wish to protest should go ahead, those that wish to attend the pro-Buhari solidarity rally should proceed. Those of us that are doing "siddon look" should be allowed space. Let every man what is right in his own eyes.

Thanks to nairaland where we can educate ourselves.Attached here is a dictionary definition of rally.So I am %100 right.Didn't you even see people marching on the road on some of the pics?

Pictured below are photos of Buhari,El-rufai,John Oyegun,Ogbonnaya Onu and others protesting against Goodluck Jonathan and PDP in 2014.According to them,the Peoples Democratic Party, Goodluck Jonathan led Federal Government were playing politics with Boko Haram.

The protest tagged ‘Salvation Rally’, was aimed at drawing global attention to what the APC described as deliberate hijack of the Nigeria police and other security agencies by the ruling PDP.

Do you think Tubaba is right or wrong to be part of nationwide protest?

Professor Farooq Kperogi said he has received calls from many Nigerians including his Emir to stop criticizing President Buhari.According to him,he can not stop criticizing Buhari because he is incompetent and insensitive.He wrote...

'Quit Asking Me to Take it Easy on Buhari

Over the last several hours, I have been inundated with a steady stream of impassioned pleas from many well-placed and not so well-placed Nigerians, including the emir of my hometown, to “please take it easy on Buhari.” I thought it was Buhari that should be pleaded with to take it easy on Nigerians so that I won’t have a reason to call him out on his incompetence and insensitivity. Believe you me, it’s no fun being openly critical of a person whose candidature I staked my reputation to promote, and in whom I invested enormous confidence and hope.

If Buhari actually had a clue and was governing well and wasn’t wasteful, protective of corrupt associates while pretending to be fighting corruption, insensitive to the plight of the poor, clannish, clueless, incompetent, etc., I would have been one of the proudest people today. I would have been glad to gloat and say, “You see, I told you this man can do it! He is the change we needed!” But he has made Nigeria way worse than he met it—and that says a heck of a whole lot given where we thought we were before now.

Nigeria is at its most perilous state right now. Everything is falling apart. Suffering has reached dizzyingly crushing heights. The poor cannot feed, and relentless hyperinflationary conflagration is eating up the middle class and dragging it to the ranks of the desperately poor. Nothing is working. It used to be customary to say that Nigeria was on autopilot during Jonathan’s days. Now it has come to a standstill. And people want us to be quiet? What sort of conscience do people have? I would rather be dead than be quiet. As Socrates said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” That’s what I told my emir. And that’s what I am telling everyone who is asking me to “take it easy on Buhari.” No, it is Buhari who should take it easy on Nigerians.

I DID NOT want, DO NOT want, and WON’T EVER want, a job, ANY job, from this government. I made this crystal clear in my April 4, 2015 column titled “After the Euphoria, What President-elect Buhari Needs to Know.” No government job in Nigeria can give me the comfort and fulfillment I have here. All I want is for the government to actually GOVERN and make life better for our people'.
