  • Hoodlums invade, set Imo APC secretariat on fire

    There was pandemonium in Imo State on Friday as hoodlums invade and set the All Progressives Congress (APC) secretariat on fire.

    Though the fire didn’t affect the external parts of the building, the internal parts were engulfed in inferno.

    The secretariat located at the Imo State University junction in Owerri around 6:30 pm amidst downpour, saw the secretariat engulfed in smoke.

    Though no member of staff was sighted, people watched from afar as the smoke surged.

    According to eyewitnesses, secretarial equipment, including files and documents, were destroyed.

    No firefighter was seen on ground, neither did anybody make efforts to fight the fire.

    When contacted, the state party chairman, Hilary Eke, who confirmed the development, accused those who he said attacked the party state office last weekend.

    Eke, who said that the unidentified hoodlums attacked the secretariat “just to frustrate the Local Government Areas congress of the party on Saturday”, vowed that the exercise must go on.

    He insisted that the contentious ward congress of the party was successful, urging those “who lost during the last weekend exercise to give peace a chance.”

    “I have been in a meeting ahead of the LGA congress of the party in Imo State.

    “Those who attacked the secretariat the other Saturday are likely to be the same people who set it on fire on Friday (today).

    “Despite the provocation, the LGA congress must go on on Saturday.

    “We have already elected five-man per ward during the ward congress. The Congress does not take place at party secretariat, it will take place in the 27 LGAs of the state on Saturday.

    “I petitioned the Inspector General of Police over the attack on the Secretariat the other Saturday.

    “My duty is to report to the Police and the Police have the duty to investigate.

    “So, members of staff identified those who attacked it. “

  • Commotion in Rivers as APC supporters invade, shut down court [video]

    Commotion in Rivers as APC supporters invade, shut down court [video]

    There wa commotion in Rivers State on Friday when hundreds of youths suspected to be loyalists of the All Progressives Congress (APC) faction loyal to the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, with the aid of the police shut down the Rivers State judiciary Friday morning.

    The youths reportedly stormed the judiciary as early as 6.45am and locked the gates of the High Court Complex, beating up both lawyers and litigants who tried to gain access into the complex while the police who came in several vans watched.

    The Chief Security Officer of the complex, Mr. Douglas, said that the youths locked the gates by 6.45am and beat up several persons.

    According to TheNewsGuru’s findings, the move by the thugs was to forestall the court from sitting so that it would not grant an injunction sought by Senator Magnus Abe to stop the local government congress of the APC slated for Saturday.

    Magnus Abe, senator representing Rivers south east, had gone to the court to seek an injunction restraining the faction under Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, from holding local government congress of the party on Saturday.

    Abe had alleged that there was no congress across the 319 wards in the state but Amaechi said the exercise held peacefully.

    The youths on arriving at the court premises padlocked the gates and chased the judges, lawyers and litigants away and laid siege to the complex.

    However, the incident took a turn for the worse when another group of youths suspected to be members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and backed by another set of policemen stormed the place to open the gates.

    Violence erupted as both set of youths attacked one other with bottles and other dangerous weapons and in the process destroyed some structures within the complex.

    Meanwhile, Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, visited the court to inspect the havoc wreaked by the suspects.

     

     

  • 2019: APC has derailed, now playing PDP politics — Okorocha

    2019: APC has derailed, now playing PDP politics — Okorocha

    Imo State governor and chairman of the All Progressives Congress Governor’s Forum, Rochas Okorocha on Thursday revealed how the ruling APC is derailing and now playing the kind of politics the oppositon, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) that saw them out of power in 2015.

    Okorocha, stated this on Thursday in Abuja at the declaration of Adams Oshiomole, former governor of Edo State, to run for office of national chairman of the party.

    Okoracha, who was at the event to show his support for the governor and endorse his bid, said he believes in Oshiomhole’s capacity to address some issues in the party.

    “Another thing I think Oshiomole will address is that our party has begun to play the same kind of politics like PDP. All of a sudden we have started derailing and playing the PDP kind of politics. This started by some of those people who found themselves in political office especially appointment, who did not win their booths and wards.

    He said Oshiomhole should also address the weakness of the party in the South-South and South-East. He said he believed Oshiomhole can help strengthen it in those parts of the country.

    He called on the aspirant to ensure he roots out “urban masquerades” from the APC and also bring to an end the principle of “monkey dey work, baboon dey chop”.

    “Today, our party is going through some challenges and I must commend those who helped fight for this party even before this time, they have done well but the fight ahead, the challenges ahead are greater and we need great men like Adams Oshiomohle to do this job. For me particularly, Adams will strengthen APC in South-south and South-east.

    Emphasising why the party needed to be strengthened in those regions, Mr Okorocha noted he is the only governor in the South-east and the Edo State governor, Godwin Obaseki, the only governor in the South-South under the APC.

    “Suffice to say that as I speak to you today, I am the only governor from the entire South-east who is APC just like my brother, Obaseki is the only governor from the South-South from the APC. What this goes to say is that APC has challenges in the South-South and South-East for reasons not too far-fetched. For some myopic considerations and assessment, this party is not strong in those parts of Nigeria.

    “For those our governors in the north, they won the election so easy, for as long as the name Buhari stands in the north. But its not the same thing talking about President Muhammadu Buhari’s name in the South-South or South-West. So if you see any governor emerge in the South-South or South-East, it is not with an ordinary strength, and I believe that Oshiomole coming in will strengthen this party in that part.

    “Adams, your first assignment when you become the national chairman of the party is to ensure and channel that principle of ‘monkey de work, bamboon de chop. Because some of these people who are seated here before you, won their booths, delivered their wards but those who didn’t win their booths or deliver their wards are holding big jobs in the Federal Government of Nigeria.

    “In this new dispensation, no more monkey dey work, bamboo dey chop. If you work, you chop, you don’t work, you don’t chop.

    “We have a lot of urban masqueraders in APC now and you, must force them out. And I know Adams Oshiomole is a no nonsense man, he will stand forthright, he will face them both in debate, action, physical, mental, moral, spiritual; he can face the opposition. But I don’t know about the spiritual aspect.”

  • Buhari, APC taking Nigerians for a fool – Obasanjo

    Buhari, APC taking Nigerians for a fool – Obasanjo

    Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says the President Muhammadu Buhari-led All Progressives Congress is taking Nigerians for fools while “revelling in an unrepentant misgoverning of Nigeria.”

    This is coming as the promoter of the Coalition for Nigeria Movement also disclosed that the movement had adopted the African Democratic Congress as a political platform to actualise its dream for a new Nigeria.

    Obasanjo said this on Thursday evening while briefing journalists at his presidential library home in Abeokuta.

    While lashing out at the ruling party, the former President said most Nigerians today were poorer than when the APC came in adding that the country had been further impoverished with foreign loan jumping from $3.6bn to over $18bn.

    He said, “The APC, as a political party, is still gloating and revelling in its unrepentant misgovernance of Nigeria and taking Nigerians for fools.

    “There is neither remorse nor appreciation of what they are doing wrong. It is all arrant arrogance and insult upon injury for Nigerians.

    “Whatever the leadership may personally claim, most Nigerians know that they are poorer today than when the APC came in and Nigeria is more impoverished with our foreign loan jumping from $3.6bn to over $18bn to be paid by the present and future generations of Nigerians.

    “The country is more divided than ever before because the leadership is playing the ethnic and religious game which is very unfortunate.”

    He added, “And the country is more insecure and unsafe for everybody. It is a political party with two classes of membership.”

    Obasanjo, who might have quit the CNM, said since the movement adopted the African Democratic Congress, he had completed the first phase of his assignment.

    In the speech he titled, ‘My treatise for future of democracy and development in Nigeria’, the former President said, “Let me start by welcoming and commending the emergence of a renewed and reinvigorated African Democratic Congress, as a political party.

    “Since the inception of the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, many of the 68 registered political parties have contacted and consulted with the movement on coming together and working together.

    “The leadership of the movement, after detailed examination, wide consultation and bearing in mind the orientation, policies and direction of the movement, had agreed to adopt ADC as its platform to work with others for bringing about desirable change in the Nigeria polity and governance.”

    He, however, said the emergence of ADC was the beginning of hard work to continue to consolidate the nation’s democracy and ‘to make development in all its ramifications real, relevant, accessible, popular and reaching out to all Nigerians wherever they may be.”

    While he thanked Nigerians who hearkened to his scathing open letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, dated January 23, “which catalogued the incompetence, nepotism, a lack of performance, among others, of the administration,” he noted that their concerted efforts had made the adoption of ADC possible.

    He said the ADC would accommodate youths, women and others and would sanitise the system.

    Obasanjo said he would not advise anyone to join the Peoples Democratic Party or the APC, “no matter what window-dressing reformation they may claim.”

    He said the PDP offered an apology without disciplining those who set Nigeria on a course of ruin and some of them are still holding leadership roles in the party.

    He said, “Nigerians may forgive, but Nigerians should never forget; otherwise they will be suffering from amnesia and the same ugliness may raise its head again.”

  • ‘Oyinlola dumps APC ahead of 2019, writes Buhari…’

    ‘Oyinlola dumps APC ahead of 2019, writes Buhari…’

    Former Osun State Governor, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, has dumped the All Progressives Congress, [APC] and set to take on a new political course outside the ruling party.

    He has also resigned his appointment as chairman of the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC).

    Oyinlola announced his exit from APC, a day after TheNewsGuru.com reported that he released a letter he co-signed with former national chairman of nPDP – in which the group [nPDP bloc of APC] listed several grievances and demanded an emergency meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

    On Thursday, Oyinlola, wrote his resignation letter dated May 9, and addressed to President Muhammadu Buhari.

    The letter reads:

    “Sir, I write to resign my appointment as the chairman of National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) with effect from today, 9th May, 2018.

    “Your Excellency, I must put on record my very deep sense of appreciation for the special privilege and consideration you gave me to serve our fatherland in that capacity.

    “As I stated in my appreciation letter to you shortly after the appointment, the offer was a clear call to service.

    “I gave the job the dedication it deserved and would have loved to continue but I regret to inform Your Excellency that I have a new, greater political engagement that will make that difficult and even impolitic.

    “Sir, as one of my bosses in the army, I believe you would understand my stand given recent political developments.

    “The training I got as a decorated officer and gentleman precluded me from engaging in any act that could amount to disloyalty and conflict of interest.

    “I am moving on to chart a new course in my politics outside the ruling party and this thus, demands my dropping the NIMC chairmanship.

    “I thank you, sir, once again for the great honour and confidence reposed in me. However, there is time to take a job and another time to leave it and move on.

    “For me, the time to work on something else in the interest and service of our people is now. I wish Your Excellency goodluck while praying that you will finish well and strong in the service of our country.”

     

  • Breaking: Keyamo begins nationwide campaign for Buhari

    The Director of Strategic Communications and Official Spokesperson of the President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organization, Festus Keyamo, has set into motion nationwide campaign for President Muhammadu Buhari.

    TheNewsGuru reports Keyamo, who was appointed by the Buhari’s campaign organization to ensure the incumbent president clinched the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential ticket to come back for second term, began his official duties today visiting Jigawa state.

    The Buhari’s campaign organization spokesman was in Dutse on Thursday as part of his duties as Director, Strategic Communications of President Buhari 2019 campaign to solicit for support in the dissemination of the right narratives to various localities nationwide.

    “The 2019 election is not just a contest for power. If it were to be so, some of us would not come out of our comfort zone to take on this task.

    “It is a battle between forces of corruption and patriots; between the ‘tin gods’ of Nigeria and the masses; between the forces of darkness and light,” Keyamo said in Dutse.

    The spokesman, who was welcomed by the State Governor Badaru Abubakar and other party faithful at the Jigawa State Government House, had said Buhari will win the 2019 general election easily.

    He said the 2019 election will be easier for the President to win than even when he was elected in 2015.

    “The 2019 election will be the easiest election for president Buhari despite what the naysayers are saying, it will be easier for the president than 2015 and all the indices are there, because since that time the president had won over the heart of other sections of the country at that time that may not have voted for him, between then and now he has won their heart” he said.

    He pointed out that this was because the President already has many achievements he can boast of. Look at the second Niger bridge it is 40% complete and has been expanded from a 2km to a 7km bridge, look at the railway tracks they have increased them from single gage to standard gauge railway tracks the one between Lagos and Ibadan and Kano and Abuja is 80% complete.

    Nigerians will see that despite all the negative talks here and there, that it will be the easiest election for the president more than that of 2015,” said the lawyer.

  • My disagreement with Amaechi is political – Abe

    My disagreement with Amaechi is political – Abe

    A governorship aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe, has declared that his disagreement with leader of the party in the state and Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is political.

    Abe, in a statement issued in Port Harcourt by his spokesperson, Parry Saroh Benson, said Amaechi has publicly declared that he will not support his governorship aspirations.

    The senator said, “I am amused by some of these allegations and stories making the rounds. For the records, the disagreement between me and the Minister (Amaechi) is political. He is the leader of the party but he has said publicly on several occasions that he can never support me.

    “That means the entire country knows that he cannot pretend to be neutral or an unbiased umpire in any matter in which my interest and the interests of those interested in me are concerned. Yet, as the leader it is his responsibility to provide a level playing field for us all.”

    Abe, who is the senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District in the National Assembly, insisted that those who converged at the APC secretariat in Port Harcourt on Friday, May 4, 2018, were not thugs but members and supporters of the party.

    He said, ‘The people he (Amaechi) is referring to as thugs and hoodlums today were the same people that were his heroes yesterday. They were the people we used to blockade the Rivers State Judiciary when his government was threatened. They were the people that slept for days outside the Rivers State House of Assembly to protect his government.

    “A lot of them were members of Save Rivers Movement who risked and gave their all to birth the APC in this state, and he knows a lot of them by name, but today they are thugs and hoodlums because he is now the oppressor”.

    “We are politicians, tomorrow when we need voters, who will these people now branded as thugs be? People paid for forms, they had their tellers and no one was telling them what was going on, they besieged the state secretariat for explanations.”

    “Rather than the leader to come and address them they brought armed policemen to open fire on innocent party men and women. That attack led to the pandemonium at the secretariat.”

    “They were there from morning and there was no violence until the police came and opened fire on APC members who were totally peaceful. Who authorised the shooting and why?”

  • BREAKING: More trouble for APC as nPDP laments non-recognition, issues seven-day ultimatum

    BREAKING: More trouble for APC as nPDP laments non-recognition, issues seven-day ultimatum

    There are more trouble imminent in the already distressed All Progressives Congress [APC], as former leaders of the nPDP [new Peoples Democratic Party] who defected, joined hands with other parties in the merger that led to the formation of APC in 2013 have issued a seven-day ultimatum to the national chairman of the ruling party, demanding an urgent meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

    Recall that the then newPDP alongside Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigeria Peoples Party (ANPP) and a faction of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) were the parties that were merged together to form APC.

    In a letter [obtained by TheNewsGuru] signed by Former national chairman of nPDP Abubakar Kawu Baraje, and its former national secretary Olagunsoye Oyinlola, which was presented to John Odigie-Oyegun and copied to President Buhari and Osinbajo on Wednesday afternoon, the group listed several grievances and demanded an emergency meeting.

    The nPDP lamented that their faction of the APC were sidelined in the scheme of things immediately the party took over power in 2015.

    Some of the grieviance highlighted by the nPDP include the following:

    -In the constitution of the Federal Executive Council, (FEC) the New PDP block was generally sidelined as virtually no position was conceded to it. The only member of FEC that belonged to former New PDP block comes from a State that contributed virtually no vote to the APC in the 2015 presidential elections.
    – There has been no significant patronage and appointments to executive positions in various government agencies such as Chief Executives and Executive Directors of government agencies and parastatals as members of our block of the party continue to helplessly watch as these positions are shared by the erstwhile CPC, ACN, ANPP and even APGA blocks of the party and those who have no party at all.
    – In appointments into boards of various government agencies, very few former New PDP members were patronised. These are however not commensurate with our contributions to the growth and victory of the party.
    – When members of the former New PDP block showed interest in running for the offices of President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives, they were subjected to a vicious and relentless political opposition as if they were not legitimate members of the APC family.
    – During the party primaries preparatory to the 2015 General Elections, most of the promises made to sitting members of the National Assembly, who belonged to the former new PDP in terms of a level playing field were reneged upon or observed more in breach.
    April 27, 2018

    Read the letter in full:

    The National Chairman
    All Progressives Congress (APC)
    National Headquarters
    Abuja.
    REQUEST FOR REDRESSING OF GRIEVANCES OF THE FORMER NEW PDP BLOCK WITHIN THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS (APC).
    We the members of the All Progressives Congress (APC), who moved over from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to form the APC before the 2015 General Elections in Nigeria are desirous of strengthening our party especially now that new party Congresses have commenced and the Convention and another round of General Elections are imminent. Obviously, this cannot be achieved without addressing fundamental issues which we wish to raise in this letter.
    We therefore wish, with due respect, to re-state our expectation then and now that the APC we all laboured to build would be one united, inclusive, cohesive and progressive party devoid of divisions, factions, cleavages and tendencies. We envisioned a political party promoting equal rights for all Nigerians and ensuring rapid and even development across the country. Of course there is no gainsaying the fact that the lofty ideals enumerated above cannot be attained without ensuring justice for party faithfuls and citizens.
    2. Kindly indulge us to offer a brief reminder of the history of events that led to the victory of the APC in the 2015 General Elections and the presidential election in particular. It is an undeniable historical fact that the movement of the former New PDP block to form the APC contributed immensely to the victory of the APC in the elections. The former new PDP included five sitting Governors of Sokoto, Kano, Kwara, Adamawa and Rivers States and former Governors of Kebbi, Gombe, Osun, former Vice President of Nigeria, former acting National Chairman of PDP, sitting Speaker of the House of Representatives, many serving members of the National Assembly and many renowned politicians and PDP Elders. It was a watershed moment in Nigeria’s political History.
    3. Most of these leaders not only DELIVERED their States to the APC at the elections, some of the Governors were also assigned specific responsibilities to ensure that other States were also delivered to the APC in the 2015 elections. The then Governor of Sokoto took charge of Kebbi and the then Governor of Kano State took responsibility for Kano, Kaduna and Jigawa States just to mention a few examples. There were also unprecedented efforts by many stakeholders such as Senator Bukola Saraki, in concert with others, to DELIVER the entire North Central to the APC.
    4. These efforts, contributions and sacrifice were made in spite of the fact that the presidential ticket was taken by the erstwhile Congress for Progressive Change, (CPC) and the Action Congress of Nigeria, (ACN) blocks of the party. It is a matter for grave concern that His Excellency, Mr President, Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, has never publicly acknowledged our efforts in the face of clear evidence that the total number of votes scored by the APC in States where leaders and members of the then NEW PDP block held sway made the difference.
    5. The stubborn facts are as follows: In Kano State APC scored 1,903,999 in 2015, and in Kwara 302,146. In Sokoto State it scored 671,926, and 374,701 in Adamawa. In Kebbi State, APC had 567,883 votes and 885,988 in Jigawa. It was the same story in Gombe (459,898), Kogi (264,851), and Benue (373,961) votes. These represented significant additions to the APC victory column. Indeed, the influence, activities, momentum and ripple effect generated by the former New PDP block was significant in the victory of APC in the entire elections in the whole country.
    6. At this stage we would chronicle a few grievances which if addressed will lead to a harmonious APC where justice, equity, fairness and peace will reign and enable APC avoid rancour, reinvigorate the pace of national development and face the 2019 General Elections as one united party.
    7. Our grievances include:
    a. In the constitution of the Federal Executive Council, (FEC) the New PDP block was generally sidelined as virtually no position was conceded to it. The only member of FEC that belonged to former New PDP block comes from a State that contributed virtually no vote to the APC in the 2015 presidential elections.
    b. There has been no significant patronage and appointments to executive positions in various government agencies such as Chief Executives and Executive Directors of government agencies and parastatals as members of our block of the party continue to helplessly watch as these positions are shared by the erstwhile CPC, ACN, ANPP and even APGA blocks of the party and those who have no party at all.
    c. In appointments into boards of various government agencies, very few former New PDP members were patronised. These are however not commensurate with our contributions to the growth and victory of the party.
    d. When members of the former New PDP block showed interest in running for the offices of President of the Senate and Speaker of the House of Representatives, they were subjected to a vicious and relentless political opposition as if they were not legitimate members of the APC family.
    e. During the party primaries preparatory to the 2015 General Elections, most of the promises made to sitting members of the National Assembly, who belonged to the former new PDP in terms of a level playing field were reneged upon or observed more in breach.
    f. There has been general lack of consultation, non recognition and even persecution of former New PDP members and leaders by the party and government. For example, some of our leaders are denied the security cover necessary to visit their constituencies even though they are elected representatives of the people in a government they sacrificed so much for.
    g. Harassment, intimidation and persecution of former New PDP leaders by the government, is still an ongoing affair. We do not want to overstate the obvious by cataloguing names of former new PDP stalwarts that are targets of this political pogrom.
    h. There is inadequate reflection of programme and policy contributions of members of the former New PDP block in the running of the government.
    8. Our belief is that it does not augur well for our party if a section of it feels that it is being treated as outcasts and meddlesome interlopers in the party they rightly belong with the legitimate expectation to be treated with justice both in the running of the party and the government.
    9. Arising from the issues outlined above, among others, we request for an urgent meeting with the Leader of the party, and the Party Executive leadership to find lasting solutions to the issues raised so as to prepare the party as a fighting force to deliver more pungently on its manifesto and face the 2019 General Elections with even greater commitment. The meeting will also enable us to work out modalities to ensure a level playing field for all in the Congresses and Convention of the APC.
    10. Given the constraining factor of available time and in the interest of our great Party, it is strongly advised that the said urgent meeting be held not later than Seven (7) days from the date of the receipt of this letter.
    11. In conclusion, we the members of the former New PDP block of the APC wish to reiterate that this letter is written patriotically with the best of intentions and the good of our party, the APC, and is issued to alert the leadership of the APC and in particular, the leader of our party, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, who only recently indicated his intention to seek a second term as President, of grievances that exist within the party with a view to ensuring justice for all members of the APC family regardless of the blocks they came from prior to the formation of the APC.
