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.

Northern youths warn Obasanjo over attacks on Buhari

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF) has lambasted former President, Olusegun Obasanjo for his attacks on President Muhammadu Buhari. Obasanjo recently advised Nigerians not to re-elect Buhari in 2019 . But the group in a statement signed by its National President, Alhaji Yerima Shettima, on Friday, slammed the ex president for the comment. “For quite some time, former President Olusegun Obasanjo has turned himself into a self-appointed messiah in the efforts to define the political and democratic future of this country. “And the result of this meddlesomeness by the former president has been disastrous for the country,” the group said. AYCF said that it is disgusting that the former president is still bent on interfering with Nigeria’s leadership problems created by people like him. The group said that it has noticed that the former president has made it a duty to lampoon President Buhari at every given opportunity, in a desperate bid to portray himself as Niger...

Fresh Atiku posters flood Abuja with ‘strange’ inscriptions [PHOTO]

Fresh posters of the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, with the inscriptions: ‘The real and the right’ yesterday surfaced in the streets of Abuja. The posters, which also bore ‘Pukka’ a Hindi word, which literally means ‘Genuine’ emerged after a report on how Atiku allegedly enlisted the assistance of two cerebral lawyers in Washington DC, United States of America to lobby the American government for recognition as winner of the last presidential election. Many of the posters were seen in the Central Business District within the Abuja city centre. Recall that Lauretta Onochie, the presidential aide on social media, had said she returned to Abuja on Tuesday to see Atiku’s photographs   with treasonable inscriptions. She counseled the former vice president to pursue his election petition at the Tribunal rather than commit to actions that may land him in jail for treason. However, DAILY POST findings indicate that the poste...
