ABEOKUTA—A strong indication has emerged that, a
mass exodus of members and stalwarts of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Ogun State is
currently looming.https://dvsl3w2q45hb8.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/PDP-CARTOON.jpg
This is coming as a former chairman of the House of
Representatives’ Committee on Aviation, Hon. Dave
Salako has warned the national leadership of the PDP
to either sanction the Chairman of its Mobilization
and Organization Committee for the South West,
Prince Buruji Kashamu or risk losing the 2015
elections in Ogun State.
Salako accused Kashamu of being allegedly
responsible for the perennial crises rocking the PDP
in Ogun State.
Vanguard reliably gathered that, this development,
has prompted leaders of three of the major groups
within the PDP in the state along their followers to
begin defection into the newly introduced Social
Democratic Party, SDP, in the state.
It was gathered that the recent loss of the three
groups in the last congresses and recent primaries of
the PDP in Ogun State prompted their action.
A former speaker of the House of Representatives,
Dimeji Bankole and eight other aspirants had
boycotted the party’s governorship primary election
which produced Gboyega Nasiru Isiaka.
On Monday, leaders of the Dimeji Bankole, Gbenga
Daniel and Jubril Martins-Kuye groups reportedly met
in Abeokuta, the state capital where they put
finishing touches to their planned mass defection to
the SDP.
It was also reliably gathered that, on Monday night,
former governor, Gbenga Daniel held a secret
meeting with the leader of the SDP in the state, Chief
Olusegun Osoba in his Abeokuta residence.
A source told our correspondent that, apart from
Daniel, other PDP leaders present at the meeting
include a governorship aspirant of the party, Chief
Anthony Ojesina; a former chairman of the PDP in the
state, Chief Joju Fadairo, Chief Niyi Adegbenro,
among others.
Vanguard further gathered that the general mood
and consensus of the leaders at the meeting
favoured the mass defection of the aggrieved
members of the PDP into the SDP.
When contacted, a leader of the Jubril Martins-Kuye
group, Hon. Dave Salako declined to comment on the
issue.
But, he, however, stated that Kashamu had so far
instituted over 40 cases in court against the leaders
of the party at both the state and the national level,
including the one he filed against the PDP National
Chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu.
He wondered why the PDP National Working
Committee had been treating Kashamu whom he
alleged had become fond of deliberately flouting all
the directives of the party’s national leadership as a
sacred cow.
In his reaction, Kashamu said that Salako’s outbursts
should be ignored.
He added that Salako was still smarting from his
inability to realize his governorship ambition and
profit from the party which he and members of his
group abandoned since 2011.
Kasahamu in a statement by his Media Assistant,
Austin Oniyokor said: “No careful observer of Ogun
politics would be surprised at Dave Salako’s outburst.
He is rueing the devastating crash of his deputy
governorship ambition and looking for whom to
blame for his failed ambition.
If there is anyone that should be sanctioned for
working against the interest of the party, it should be
Salako who, alongside his masters, abandoned the
party since he lost his re-election bid in 2011 and
now want to reap where he did not sow.”

Nice. Tinubu and his rigging machinery in big trouble.

UGHELLI—A heavy duty truck,
conveying crates of soft drinks,
yesterday, at the Okorodafe
Roundabout in Ughelli, Delta
State, crushed a four-month-old
baby girl, who had fallen off the
back of her mother travelling on
a commercial motorcycle,
popularly known as Okada.

According to witnesses, the
mother of the baby, who is in her
30s and simply identified as Ese,
was said to have been struggling
to adjust the wrapper with
which she strapped the baby to
her back, while the Okada was in
motion.

One of the witnesses, identified
as Efemena Okiemute, told
Vanguard that the baby fell on
the middle of the road and was
immediately crushed by the
truck, which was directly behind
the Okada.

When Vanguard visited the
scene, officials of Ughelli
Command of the Federal Road
Safety Commission, FRSC, were
seen clearing the remains of the
dead baby from the road.

Amacaco:
The donations were made to PDP as a party and not to a candidate. PDP is not a candidate as provided in the Act. All over the world, parties are funded through donations from members and interest groups. These lawyers should know better. But there are playing to the gallery.

President Goodluck Jonathan’s reelection bid received a major boost on Saturday, as businessmen, multinational organisations, interest groups and individuals donated the sum of N21.27bn to support his campaign for the 2015 presidential election.

Playing to the gallery.

How much was spent on APC convention/presidential primaries?

Its a game of war chest and Aliko has not yet donated. Brighter days are ahead.

Section 91(9) of the Act reads, “An individual or other entity shall not donate more than N1,000,000 to any candidate.” Sub-section 10 of the same section adds that a presidential candidate “who knowingly acts in contravention of this section commits an offence and on conviction is liable to a maximum fine of N1m or imprisonment for a term of 12 months or both.”

President Goodluck Jonathan
Tuesday suggested the
establishment of a Hall of Shame
where documents, names of
criminals and societal misfits
could be sourced to serve as a
deterrent to those nursing the
idea of criminality in the country.

The Lagos State government has deported 70 northerners, found publicly begging, which
has been banned in the state.


The deportees are presently in Kano State after being bundled out of Lagos, where they were
stationed.

Some of the returnees, according a local Hausa radio program monitored in Kano, complained that they were held for months and exposed to hardship before they were brought to Kano.

Some of them were said to be originally from Niger, Kebbi, Jigawa, Kaduna, Sokoto and Zamfara states.

Iyabo, who
blazed the trail for all of them,
needs to be commended for
being a good example and
loving big sister. Iyabo¹, Busola²,

Age has got nothing to do
with success or failure in
politics. Politics isn't an

Sharing of money is a means of under development. They should have simply used the money to reconstruct Odi and allocate houses to the people for free.

I open this thread because I know that some state governors are owing salaries.
Please tell us if your governor is owing, and also how many months is he owing.
This is not about political parties. It's just an eye opener.

It was however gathered that
while some sympathizers were
making arrangement to take the
injured driver to the hospital for
treatment, others were waiting
anxiously to prey on the dead
fowls.
