Umana Umana Vows to crush Akpanudoedehe
in APC Primaries.
... Labels Former Senator A Tout. Ahead of his planned defection to the All
PProgressives Congress (APC), an Akwa Ibom
State gubernatorial aspirant, Mr Umana Okon
Umana has vowed to take total control of his
new party from the leader of the party in the
state, Senator John Akpanudoedehe, to actualize his governorship ambition. At a strategy meeting on Sunday night in his
palatial Ewet Housing mansion with some
political associates to perfect his defection, Mr
Umana is said to have informed them that
with his donation of five hundred million naira
(N500 million) to the Leader of his new party in Lagos, he has been assured the total control
of the structure of the party in the state. According to our source who was present at
the strategy meeting, Mr Umana is said to
have told his audience that he had offered
Senator Akpanudoedehe another five hundred
million naira (N500 million) to drop his political
ambition, but that the former Senator had insisted on a whopping one billion naira (N1
billion), a position Mr Umana described as
“greedy” and vowed to run him out of the
party.
The source who pleaded anonymity quoted Mr
Umana as saying; “We had many options but the most appealing was to defect to the APC.
This is because the party has promised to hand
over their propaganda machinery to me. A
South-South Governor on the platform of the
party has also promised to assist in some
logistics. “But the most formidable obstacle was how
to handle my brother Senator Akpanudoedehe
who has been the arrowhead of opposition in
the state. At a meeting with our Leader in
Lagos, I was asked to offer him N500 million
as settlement but surprisingly the former Senator demanded a whopping N1 billion. “Nevertheless, after my donation of N500
million to the Leader of the party, I have been
assured that I will crush him in the forth-
coming primaries and have a total control of
the structure of the party. As for the main
election the South-South Governors have promised to liaise with the Army and Police
for necessary action to enable us win”
Umana is quoted to have said. Confirming the development, Mr Iboro
Otongaran, Media Adviser to Mr Umana said it
was the intention of his boss to take charge in
his new party but denied the donation of N500
million to the Leader of the party. “First and foremost, election in Nigeria is a
capital intensive project. And running against
the candidate of a ruling party means you
must be financially capable. It is not just about
gathering a few thugs in Uyo and claiming you
are the Leader of the party in the state. With due respect, the man you are talking about
does not have the financial muscle to
successfully prosecute a gubernatorial
election, Udoedehe is a mere tout. “I am not sure of the amount you have
mentioned, but I know Mr Umana has made
some donations towards strengthening the
party across the nation to give the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) a run for her
money,” Mr Otongaran said. However supporters of Senator
Akpanudoedehe have vowed to resist the
hijack of the party structure by Mr Umana
through money politics. A Youth Leader,
Comrade Emem Frank said in the event that
Mr Umana “crushed” Senator Akpanudoedehe as promised, their camp
would be favourably disposed towards
working for the candidate of any other party
apart from the APC. He said that Umana should rather go for the
Uyo Senate seat in APC and join forces with
Udoedehe rather than fighting him.

Why Tambuwal dumped PDP
By Emman Ovuakporie
Since the speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Waziri Tambuwal whose middle name simply means the’ Guardian of the Fate’ emerged the first among equals in the 7th Assembly on June 6, 2011, he had a game plan as to how to checkmate the onslaught of his party, the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
His game plan finally came to bear last Tuesday when he red carded the party on whose back he clinched the speaker-ship of the House.
His reasoning was simple, since he was not the anointed candidate of his party and he knew the antics of PDP, he carefully waited for the dying days of the 7th Assembly to drop his masterstroke via his decampment to the opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Aminu Waziri Tambuwal,
In the first place, it was the APC that ensured he won. Hon Mulikat Akande-Adeola, the PDP preferred candidate for the office of the Speaker failed on June 6, 2011 House of Representatives election. APC lawmakers ensured his victory with the support of some PDP legislators.
There and then, Tambuwal knew where he should pledge his allegiance and this he covertly and overtly applied until last Tuesday.
He kept his friends and political acolytes on their toes as to where his allegiance lay all these while. He knew from day one that if  he faltered the fire works of the PDP would be too explosive for him to handle.
He knew what happened to his predecessors that dared PDP. They went into political oblivion and remained politically irrelevant. And he accommodated genuine fears that he would face the same music if he remained in PDP. Re-election was almost uncertain and his political future remained bleak with PDP. He decided to join APC on whose platform he could run for the office of governor of Sokoto State or run for re-election back to the House.
Tambuwal, on his own, became his own pathfinder which endeared him to the hearts of his fellow lawmakers who at a time saw him as one rare gem that has come to right the wrongs of the past.
His leadership style  was embedded in the doctrine of humility which was one rare ingredient that his predecessors could not exhibit as speakers.
He came on board with a populist 7 point -Agenda designed primarily to keep the  House 100percent independent from all forms of incursions from the executive arm of government.
To a large extent this was achieved in the first two years of his administration as lawmakers  spoke in one voice until 2013 when the New PDP emerged following the break up of the Governors Forum.
This singular development that almost tore PDP into shreds affected the comradeship among members who, hitherto, enjoyed peace and oneness since inception.
The House he had toiled to construct day and night now became divided.
Tambuwal, at this stage, employed many intrigues but the damage had been done. He had to  prepare himself for the last card on his table which is his movement from PDP to APC.
His major challenges:
Tambuwal could not execute his pet project which was the 7-point Legislative Agenda to the letter. He recorded at least 70 percent success.
He had wanted to make Nigeria’s Green Chamber the first African e- Parliament compliant. Though work on this is at an advanced stage, this dream may not be accomplished before he leaves.
Secondly, his fervent desire to  carry along his 359 colleagues despite paucity of  funds was a major setback to him.
It is on record that Tambuwal knows every member by their  first name and the constituencies they represent. A very rare gift.
Thirdly, his penchant for good legislation to make Nigeria a better place for all is never in doubt.
Implication of his defection
The House has less than two months to execute serious legislative business as the month of December is always work free. The lawmakers may seat for only six days.
January 2015, lawmakers would be in the battle field trying to see how they can return to the House.
February is the month of election so there will be no legislative business.
By March the results of the election must have had their toll and casualties of the election would have been known.
April, there will be little legislative action on the floor of the House.
By May the politics of who emerges the new speaker  peaks.
By June 5, the 7th Assembly will be rested and the 8th Assembly emerges.
The effect of his defection may lead the House into a war zone. But one thing is certain, the PDP needs at least a dozen cranes and a 100 buldozers to buldoze Tambuwal out of office.
As it is now, the PDP has 195 active lawmakers while the APC has 159 leaving the remaining 6 that could pitch their tents  where it suits them.
PDP does not have the 2/3 majority to unseat Tambuwal which is a mandatory constitutional provision. PDP needs 240 lawmakers to shove Tambuwal aside.
Tambuwal’s trump card
After the PDP primaries, the lawmakers who failed to win will solidly stand by Tambuwal making the House an entirely APC House.
This development could make the 2015 Budget suffer an unprecedented setback, causing more problems for the PDP led government.
Tambuwal has an unequaled track record of being the only lawmaker that has gone to the House for three terms and was appointed a principal officer.
In 2003-2007 he was deputy minority under ANPP. 2007-2011 he was deputy majority whip. In 2011 he emerged speaker.
This his experience will come to bear and may further rubbish whatever impeachment plan in the offing for him.
Tail or head Tambuwal is on both sides of the coin. He may complete his  tenure as speaker.

[b]General Mohammadu Buhari and Tunde Idiagbon (now deceased) came to power on Saturday December 31, 1983 although the regime of this duo was too short to appraise but the regime reigned in what many people of Nigeria could at best describe as dictatorial, even the successor regime of this regime led by General Ibrahim Babangida described the regime thus:

“He was too rigid and uncompromising in his attitude to issues of national significance”.

No sooner did Buhari/Idiagbon ceased government than the infamous Decree Number Four (DN4) of 1984 was promulgated by the duo; Buhari/Idiagbon became famous for coming down heavily against the Nigerian press, making the report of truth a very serious offence in the country, not many will for get the terrible situation of Tunde Thompson and Nduka Irabor of the Guardian who were imprisoned for making a ca report on the Government. The Buhari/Idiagbon regime would also executed Bernard Ogedengbe, Bartholomew Owoh and Lawal Ojulope for an offence committed by them as alleged by the regime after a national debate in spite of public pleas, the execution of these gentlemen were made possible by a retroactive decree courtesy of Buhari/Idiagbon regime.
