May 21 deadline: PDP leaders warn Sheriff

<p><strong>– PDP BOT chair Senator Walid Jibrin warns that any move by Sheriff to remain in office beyond May 21 could lead to crisis in PDP</strong></p> <p><strong>– Walid urges Sheriff to should follow the path of honour and integrity by simply taking a bow in May 2016 after the national convention.</strong></p> <p><strong>– Says anyone who tries to reverse the earlier agreement of the BOT will be termed a killer of the PDP</strong></p> <p>The Board of Trustees (BOT) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) have vowed to resist any move by the party’s national chairman, Ali Modu Sheriff or his loyalists to extend his tenure  beyond  May 21.</p> <p>Acting BOT chairman Senator Walid Jibrin yesterday, March 29 warned that any move by Sheriff to covertly extend his tenure beyond the agreed date could throw the party into trouble, The Nation reports.</p> <p><strong>READ ALSO:</strong> <a href="http://ift.tt/1VSFK0O">Ekiti govt raises alarm over APC’s plot to destabilize state</a></p> <p>Jibrin reacting to alleged moves by Ali Modu Sheriff, to either remain in office or make sure that the office of the national chairman is zoned to the north-east in order to enable him retain the seat, urged the former Borno state governor to ignore those he described as sycophants and praise singers and to vacate the seat after the party’s national convention.</p> <p>The tenure of Sheriff was meant to end by May 21 in order to allow the former governor to organise the national convention, which will herald the arrival of new national officers.</p> <p>Sheriff was also mandated by the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party to set up four committees in preparation for the convention.</p> <p>However, The Punch reports that Sheriff’s refusal  to name the members of the committees  has fuelled speculation that the ex-governor is planning to stay beyond his tenure.</p> <p>But Jibrin warned that any move by Sheriff to go against the earlier agreement of the party could lead to the death of PDP.</p> <p>Walid said: “<em>I want to advice Senator Ali Modu Sherif on the consequences of the evil machinations of praise singers and prophets of doom on the approval of the PDP Governors’ Forum, National Causes, BOT and the NEC terminating his tenure and that of the NWC on May 21, 2016.</em></p> <p><em>“The above responsible bodies have approved that the tenure of national officers will end after the convention.</em></p> <p><em>“The NWC received an overwhelming ovation and admiration at the meeting of the national caucus, BOT and NEC by overlooking their 2017 tenure in support of the three months approval of the respected organs of the party which should strictly be complied with.</em></p> <p><em>“Instead of listening to praise singers, Modu Sherif should follow the path of honour and integrity by simply taking a bow in May 2016 after the national convention.</em></p> <p><em>“The recent courtesy calls to the National Chairman and the presentations being made, especially calling on him to continue beyond the stipulated three months tenure is an invitation to trouble, anarchy and the return of impunity in PDP.</em></p> <p><strong>READ ALSO:</strong> “<a href="http://ift.tt/1VSbAuy">Wike plays politics with development of Rivers people”</a></p> <p><em>“May I also strongly warn on the dangers of not adhering to the recommendations of Senator Ike Ekweremadu’s Post Election Review Committee (2015) that the party should seek its 2019 presidential candidate from the North of Nigeria to compensate for the obvious violation of the zoning arrangement in the 2011 election which led to a major apathy against the party in the north from 2011, culminating in the poor performance of the party in the 2015 elections.</em></p> <p><em>“The National Caucus, BOT, and NEC have already approved this recommendation by unanimously zoning 2019 presidency to the North. To change this decision now is a further invitation to impunity, lack of party democracy, non adherence to party zoning principles, influence of godfatherism, lack of respect for the decision of constituted party organs, self-imposition, and killing the PDP.</em></p> <p><em>“Anyone who tries to reverse this position by changing it with another position will ever remain an enemy to the North, a mercenary and killer of PDP”.</em></p> <p>However, reacting to the warning by Senator Walid Jibrin, Sheriff in a statement through his special assistant on media, Inuwa Bwala, said: <em>The PDP National Chairman has consistently stated that he would not spend one day beyond the time he had to serve the party.</em></p> <p>The post <a href="http://ift.tt/1V3uQoe" rel="nofollow">May 21 deadline: PDP leaders warn Sheriff</a> appeared first on <a href="https://www.naij.com" rel="nofollow">Nigeria News today & Breaking news | Read on NAIJ.COM</a>.</p> <br /> <br /> from Nigeria News today & Breaking news | Read on NAIJ.COM http://ift.tt/1V3uQoe<br /> via <a href="http://ift.tt/16Xitlp">IFTTT</a>

APC cannot win any election in Rivers State - Governor Wike

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ift.tt/1UBnIkJ" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="http://ift.tt/1SlGmGH" width="400" /></a></div> According to the press statement released by Simeon Nwakaudu, Special Assistant to the Rivers State Governor, Electronic Media, Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has declared that the All Progressives Congress, APC,  is not in a position  to  win any election in the state, adding  that  the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi is merely sponsoring  violence  to remain  relevant  politically.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div> <br /> <a id="more" name="more"></a><br /> Governor  Wike  informed  that  with the proofs of corruption  against  Rotimi Amaechi,  the Minister of Transportation resorted to blackmailing  the leadership of the  All Progressives Congress that he would reveal to the public how much  he invested in the  party’s  campaign  if he was not confirmed as a minister.<br /> <br /> This is even as the Senate Caucus  of the Peoples Democratic Party,  PDP, led by Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio  insisted  that  the  Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC,  must release the  collated results of the March  19, 2016 rerun  elections.<br /> <br /> Speaking  during  a  solidarity  visit by the  PDP Senate  Caucus,  Governor  Wike said  the Minister of Transportation  lost his local government area and Federal Constituency,  hence his desperation  to influence  the  release of  the  results.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> He said: "Any person  who  loves Mr President  won't be causing unnecessary  crisis for him. We have problem in the North East, problem in the South-East, so there is no need for another problem  in the South-South .<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> "It is good that the elections were held so that Nigerians  will know the truth about the polity. If elections  are held 20 times, PDP will win".<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The governor  decried the role played by soldiers  during the rerun  elections.  He said the military  were directly involved in the  elections  at polling  units  and at the collation centres  in  direct violation of the Electoral Act.<br /> <br /> <br /> He regretted  the killing of  the  corps member, Samuel Okonta  during  the  rerun elections,  but stressed that  investigation  into  the  type of bullet  that  killed him  must be made public.  He confirmed  that  the  state government  will immortalise the late corps member.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Earlier,  Senate Minority  Leader and Leader of Senate PDP Caucus,  Senator Godswill Akpabio said that the victory recorded by the PDP  in Rivers State is: "A clear case of justice  being done by God".<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> While describing  Rivers State as  peaceful , Senator  Godswill Akpabio regretted the sponsored propaganda  by the opposition  to  destroy  the  image of  the  state.  He said  that there is no other political  party in the state outside  the  PDP.<br /> <br />  He called for tolerance  in the political  space to allow for the sustenance  of  the  state's multiparty  democracy.<br /> <br /> Highpoint of the visit was the donation  of N1million  by the Senate to the family of Late Samuel  Okonta  through  Governor Wike.  Senator Godswill Akpabio  prayed that Okonta's death would be  the last during  elections.  He also commiserated  with  the  government and people of the state over the death of  PDP  members during the rerun elections.<br /> <br /> <br /> <img alt="" height="1" src="http://ift.tt/1UBnIAZ" width="1" /><br /> <br /> from Welcome to Linda Ikeji's Blog http://ift.tt/1SlGmGJ<br /> via <a href="http://ift.tt/16Xitlp">IFTTT</a>
