Prominent leaders in the South South geo-political zone, yesterday defended the National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
They also praised the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, for providing good leadership, curbing impunity in the party and thinking of the interest of all.
In a statement signed by the Chairman, South-South Front (SSF), Chief John Harry, in Yenegoa, the leaders said internal democracy and respect for the party’s constitution contributed to the electoral fortune of the party at various levels.
The leaders eulogised Oyegun for building the country’s ruling party. “Oyegun is a pragmatic leader. He is making a difference in the ruling party,” they said.
The SSF leaders commended the national chairman for his zero tolerance for impunity and corruption.
They said former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, left the ruling party because of his personal ambition.
“Atiku did not quit APC because of the performance of President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC leadership. He is itching for one last shot on the Nigerian political stage and President Buhari has become an electoral powerhouse and a big roadblock in his way,” the leaders said.
They tongue-lashed suspended APC deputy national publicity secretary,  Mr. Timi Frank and his sponsors overtheir “apparent disregard for party supremacy and insufficient knowledge of the rudiments of democracy.”
“Frank is a mole and a political weather vane obsessed with the ambition of his mentor. He has no electoral value in Bayelsa State.”
The leaders were particularly piqued by the recent press statement where Frank launched a vitriolic attack on the party’s national leadership.

Traffic signs and signals help indicate the rules of the road and are designed for the safe movement of vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. As a driver, you are required to know them. The shapes of traffic signs enable you to identify them easily. Clear and efficient signing is an essential part of highway and traffic engineering and a road with poor signing or with badly maintained signs is classed as an unsatisfactory road. With this in mind, Nigerian roads could be classed as unsatisfactory, as they are bare of road signs. Road users depend on signing for information and guidance, enforceme...
