49 PDP Senators Declare Support For President Buhari

Forty-nine Senators of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the upper chamber have declared their support for President Muhammadu Buhari.

This was disclosed by the Senate’s Minority Whip, Senator Godswill Akpabio, at a press conference at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja on Thursday, August 6, 2015.

The Senators, however, lamented that the Federal Government was only targeting PDP members in its anti-corruption crusade.

Akpabio said the PDP Senate caucus would support President Buhari in his bid to bring about a greater Nigeria, adding that despite its numerical strength in the upper chamber, it has resolved to give only credible opposition necessary for a better Nigeria and for Buhari to succeed as president.

The PDP Senate caucus noted that though it supports the APC-led Federal Government’s crusade against corruption, it was not happy with the impression being given that it is targeted at PDP stalwarts and states.

At 60, Obiano Bespeaks Live and let Live

By Ifeanyi Afuba

What equips or stands one in good stead for the arduous task of governance? The self initiative to serve? Aptitude cum personality constitution? Or the will to succeed?  Among the many theories thrown up in the efforts at unraveling Nigeria’s tragic condition is the perception that the country has had the misfortune of being led largely by persons who were reluctant to assume authority when they did. With just three exceptions, other Nigerian heads of government are considered to either have been drafted or persuaded to assume the mantle of office. Thus, shorn of a sense of mission, they were soon overwhelmed by the burden of managing the Nigerian estate. If this construct of ambition – great leadership correlation is to be regarded as valid, then as rules go, it is also subject to exceptions.  For David of the ancient kingdom of Israel and for Willie Obiano of Anambra State who clocks the round age of 60 August 8, 2015, -good governance need not be driven by political ambition.

Early in the interview, Obasanjo devoted considerable time and sentiments to an evaluation of a controversial government contractor, Emeka Offor, and his activities. 

IGBO SHOULD PLAY OPPOSITION FOR 10 YEARS —IGBOKWE

The Publicity Secretary of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Joe Igbokwe, on Tuesday advised Igbo politicians to take the path of honour by helping the Peoples Democratic Party to build a formidable opposition rather than defect to the ruling All Progressives Congress because of their business interest.

Igbokwe said by doing this, the world would take them seriously.

The APC chieftain, in an article entitled, ‘Can the Igbo play opposition for the next 10 years’, published on Sahara Reporters, said the Igbo would not die if they are not in the APC or part of the government.
