Peter Obi: Deputy Senate President, Ekweremadu, Others Set To Dump PDP For APC

Posted: 23 Oct 2018 12:22 PM PDT

Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu

The Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu will dump Nigeria's major opposition party, the People's Democratic Party (PDP), for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), media reports states.

According to media reports, Ekweremadu has been involved in high-level negotiations with the top echelon of the APC, "because he was aggrieved about the way he has been treated since Senate President Dr Bukola Saraki defected to the PDP.

"What is, however, unclear is the position the APC will give him upon defection.

A source said Ekweremadu's defection "is just in a matter of days."

This will be another major defection after Saraki and former minority leader, Godswill Akpabio, defected from the APC and PDP, respectively.

The news reports indicates that "Ekweremadu was not happy with the way he was used and dumped by the PDP."

A chieftain of the APC from the South East had earlier said: "Look at the way they treated Ekweremadu. When all of them left, Ekweremadu remained to fight for the survival of this party. How many of them would have resisted the temptation not to defect in the face of the intimidation, harassment, prosecution, and persecution meted out on him.

"As a person, he had nothing to lose if he had defected then. In fact, he had everything to gain. He probably would have been the Senate president because he was offered the slot. Then, when you people now return, you feel that people who had helped this party to survive did not matter, again, simply because you got a presidential ticket. Also, even Saraki knows that if the DSP had not been loyal, they would have gotten at him (Saraki) long ago.

"All the trials Ekweremadu was put through were all because of Saraki. But, when it was the turn of Saraki to be there for him, he failed him and as we speak, how many days is this after the primary. Atiku is yet to call DSP. You don't treat a man who has been taking bullets on you people's behalf like that. Well, I wish them and PDP well, but, they should know that action begets reaction and they will pay the price for this mistreatment of people, who laboured for the party during the toughest time. And, if Ekweremadu leaves, we will hold these people responsible," he added.

JUST IN: Senate Rejects Inclusion Of South-East In Security Council

Posted: 23 Oct 2018 11:29 AM PDT

Dr. Bukola Saraki

The Senate on Tuesday rejected the motion for the inclusion of South East representatives in the National Defence Council and the National Security Council.

The motion was sponsored by Senator Victor Umeh and seconded by Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, the PoliticsNGR reports.

Leading the debate on the motion, Senator Umeh lamented that none of the Service Chiefs appointed to the National Defence Council and the National Security Council comes from the South East of Nigeria as firmly enshrined in the constitution through the spirit and Principle of Federal character.

He said that the Defence and Security advice relayed to the President by members of the Defence and Security Council, which exclude security officers from the states that make up the South East of Nigeria, may not likely represent fair and equitable security situation of the Zone.

He added that there are qualified officers from the South East of Nigeria to be appointed as Service Chiefs but none was appointed in the present administration.

He noted that the beauty, tenet and cardinal principle of democracy, as opposed to all other forms of government, are inclusiveness, representation, justice and fairness.

"When these essential ingredients are missing and lacking in any government, it will create a feeling of alienation."

Biafra: Why Buhari Said Nigerians Who Feel They Belong To Another Nation Can Leave

Posted: 23 Oct 2018 10:37 AM PDT

President Muhammadu Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday said Nigerians who feel they belong to another country can leave.

Buhari spoke when he received the All Progressives Congress, APC, governorship aspirants and members of the party from the three senatorial zones of Kwara State at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The President also stated that he and others who do not have another country would stay back and salvage it together, Daily Post reports.

In a statement issued by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, Buhari urged Nigerians to remain loyal to the country in all their dealings.

Buhari said, "You don't have to be in uniform to be loyal.

"What I said long ago in 1984 is still valid today. We have no other country but Nigeria.

"Others who feel they have another country may choose to go. We will stay here and salvage it together."

Buhari's remark is coming at a time Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), threatened to bring hell on Nigeria.

Kanu, who had not been seen since September 2017, resurfaced last week in Jerusalem.

Kwara: What APC Governorship Candidate Told Buhari About Saraki After Meeting

Posted: 23 Oct 2018 08:59 AM PDT

President Buhari and APC Kwara Stakeholders

The governorship candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, in Kwara State, Mr. Abdulrahman Abdulrasaq,  and other stakeholders met with President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday.

The meeting was held at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, Daily Post reports.

Speaking to State House correspondents at the end of the meeting, Abdulrasaq, said the president had given the party the marching order to take over the mantle of leadership in Kwara.

He said the president's marching order would be democratically implemented by the party as the people of the state had since expressed their readiness to make the Saraki political dynasty a history in the state.

"Kwara has become a battle field now. As you can see, we came to see Mr President having gone through a very competitive process of primaries.

"We went through the direct primary in which about 100,000 party faithful voted.

"We had our difficulties but we came to tell him that all is well. We are in unison and he has given us marching order to go and take Kwara.

"So, Saraki is history because we are looking at (Kwara) Government House,'' he said.

National chairman of the APC, Adams Oshiomhole, expressed the hope that the party's candidates would emerge winners of the general elections in Kwara state.

Oshiomhole said, this was informed by the successful reorganization of the APC in Kwara following the defection of some individuals in the state.

BIAFRA: See Reasons IPOB Decided To Sack Nnamdi Kanu

Posted: 23 Oct 2018 08:22 AM PDT

Nnamdi Kanu

The Director of Strategy and Documentation of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Olisa Mbakwe on Monday announced that its leader, Nnamdi Kanu has been sacked from the group.

Mbakwe said Kanu was fired for placing more value on his dog than those murdered in the struggle for the realisation of Biafra, Daily Post reports.

Speaking during Sunday's broadcast from his base in Israel, Kanu mourned his dog and "a few other people" in his compound, who lost their lives when military men invaded the place in September 2017.

Kanu had said during the broadcast, "The Army of the zoo killed my dog Jack and a few other people in my compound. I am sorry for what my sureties are passing through, but I want to assure them that they will have a special place in Biafra. I shall not be honouring the court."

Reacting, Mbakwe described Kanu as an "insensitive and callous leader that has no value for his own followers but rather his dog, Jack whom he paid tributes to after his long disappearance from the struggle".

In a statement he personally signed, Mbakwe, of IPOB, also insisted that Kanu was a "traitor not worthy of any leadership position anywhere in the world".

He stated that Kanu was removed for reasons which included, "personalisation of the Biafran struggle and derailing from the core objectives of IPOB as a grassroots movement".

The statement read: "On Sunday, October 21, 2018, an individual, Mazi Nnamdi Nwanekaenyi Kanu, claiming to be the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and Director General of Radio Biafra made a live broadcast that has left us perplexed, because it is unthinkable that someone will impersonate IPOB to the point of plotting to abuse the organization to hurt the interest of Biafra.

"The strength of the Republic of Biafra that we are struggling to actualize, is in its human resources as embodied in our versatile youths that dominate the fields of play across sectors of human endeavor; the country we have set our vision on creating is therefore not to be made up of tombstones but of people fulfilling their life missions as ordained by God.

"Nnamdi Kanu relinquished his position as the leader of IPOB struggle the day he deserted our members to die, when they had mobilized to stand for our belief in Biafra at his residence in Afaraukwu. Several of our members were injured and some died in that encounter and even after emerging from hiding more than one year later all Kanu could do was to desecrate their memory with his radio broadcast. Nnamdi Kanu vividly, specifically and particularly recalled his family dog, Jack, by name while he dismissed our members that died as mere statistics — he only recalled them as 28 IPOB members.

"Even if Kanu had not deserted, there is no way we would have continued under the leadership of a man that values his family dog more than Biafrans.

"We are not unmindful of how Kanu struck the deal that granted him bail in the first place while abandoning our members, Benjamin Madubugwu, David Nwawusi, Bright Chimezie Ishinwa and Chidiebere Onwudiwe to languish in jail. Instead of using his freedom to accelerate the freedom of these authentic freedom fighters, he rather went about Biafra land receiving obeisance from Biafrans like a monarch, when our dear land is completely republican. The travails of these our brothers are not over yet and might have been worsened by Kanu's live broadcast, which has totally upset us.

"In line with the decisions earlier announced on Radio Biafra on November 17, 2017 that Mazi Ezenwachukwu Sampson Okwudili is the new director for the radio, we reaffirm that Mazi Nnamdi Nwanekaenyi Kanu remains sacked as the Director of Radio Biafra and has also been removed as the leader of IPOB since he has proven he is not a worthy leader that respects the sanctity of the lives of our members.

"Following interventions by our leaders, considerations were being made to reverse the earlier announcement but after studying the Kanu's live broadcast from Israel we came to the painful conclusion that we cannot make progress with our vision of Biafra, when one man has completely personalized and commercialized the struggle. The decision to drop Nnamdi Kanu from playing leading roles in IPOB affairs is hereby upheld. We shall announce replacements after consultations with the various stakeholders."
