Buhari Vanguard courts Oyo youths

December 30, 2014 by Olufemi Atoyebi, Ibadan 15 Comments

The campaign team of the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Mohammadu Buhari (retd.), on Tuesday held a meeting in Ibadan, where the Oyo State Chairman of the team, Fatai Akinsanmi, gave reasons why the youths must secure their future by supporting Buharis ambition to become president of Nigeria in 2015.

The team, known as Buhari Vanguard, also denied the report that former president Olusegun Obasanjo and Buhari were planning to form an interim government in 2015 if Buhari failed at the polls.

Akinsanmi said, While some people are busy talking about interim government, Gen. Buhari is keen on getting the mandate of the people through the ballot and not interim arrangement because Nigerians do not seek interim progress but a lasting one.

We have a government that supervised the killing of young applicants during the Nigeria Immigration Service recruitment exercise and bold enough to reap N1,000 from each applicant. Our youth deserves a better Nigeria, Nigerians deserve a better nation that they will be proud of.

Speaking at the forum, Research and Media Assistant to Minority Leader, House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, Mr. Wasiu Olanrewaju-Smart, urged the people of the state to seize the present political window to make the change that would put Nigeria on the path of true nationhood.

He also condemned the withdrawal of soldiers from Oyo State security outfit, Operation Burst, alleging that it was an attempt to weaken security in the state.

APC blasts Amaechis critics over funding

The All Progressives Congress in Rivers State has taken a swipe at the critics of the State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who accused him of funding the party at the national level.

The state chapter of APC described the claim as lacking in foundation and a figment of the imagination of the governors critics, adding that the allegation was based on mere suspicion as a result of the key role the governor has been playing in the party.

State Chairman of the APC, Chief Davies Ikanya, said on Monday in a statement signed by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Public Affairs, Chukwuemeka Eze, that the APC remained a political party too big to be funded by the state.

This is a rumour without foundation and a figment of the imagination of those who invented it. It is based on mere suspicion because of the key role that Governor Amaechi has been playing in repositioning APC to salvage Nigeria from the savage grip of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party.

As rightly stated by Governor Amaechi on Monday, during the APC Port Harcourt flag-off rally, APC is a very big party to be funded from the purse of the Rivers State Government, Ikanya, said.

Ikanya pointed out that the state did not have the huge sum of money those behind the rumour claimed the governor had spent on the APC at the national level.

Rivers is not the richest state in either the country or the APC, it is not. For example, is there anywhere as rich as Lagos, which is an APC state, and very much committed to the progress of the party?

The truth is that no single state or individual is funding APC; the party is funded by all its committed members, the state party chairman said.

Ikanya stated that much of Rivers money had been taken away by the PDP-controlled Federal Government through declining monthly allocation and the ceding of some of the states oil wells to neighbouring Abia and Bayelsa States.

The state APC chairman, however, congratulated Amaechi for putting smiles on the faces of civil servants in Rivers by paying their December salaries before Christmas, thereby shaming detractors who thought that he would not be able to pay due to the economic emasculation of the state by the PDP-led Federal Government.

Ekiti APC petitions NSA over security crisis

December 29, 2014 by Kamarudeen Ogundele, Ado-Ekiti 6 Comments

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has petitioned the National Security Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan, Col. Sambo Dasuki (retd.), calling his attention to security crisis in the state.

The party alleged that there was a sudden jump in security threats in Ekiti State shortly after Governor Ayodele Fayose was declared winner of the June 21, 2014 governorship election.

In the petition by the State Chairman of APC, Chief Jide Awe, the party noted that even though there were pockets of security breaches in the state during campaigns, the situation had worsened after his inauguration.

APC revealed that it sent copies of the petition to Jonathan, the Inspector General of Police, Director General of DSS, Ekiti State Director of DSS and the Ekiti State Commissioner of Police.

The party alleged a leap in insecurity shortly after Fayose made a special request for redeployment to Ekiti State the policemen that formed the nucleus of a killer squad in Ekiti State between 2003 and 2006 as confirmed by the Presidential Security Panel Report on Political Killings in Ekiti State.

The APCs petition reads in part, We are worried by the antecedents of these police officers when they served Governor Fayose between 2003 and 2006. Our fear is not without basis.

A cursory look at the Report of the Presidential Security Panel Investigation of Killings in Ekiti constituted by President Olusegun Obasanjo in 2005 succinctly leads us to the present fear, as state-sponsored terrorism rears its head again with particular reference to the same officers, who were indicted in that report and who have been recalled by Governor Fayose to his service in Ekiti State.

The party noted in particular that a certain former Chief Security Officer to Fayose, had been recalled to the service of the governor and now serves as his current Aide De Camp.

But the Peoples Democratic Party has described the petition as a calculated attempt by Awe to divert the attention of the government from prosecuting him for the murder case in which he was the chief accuse.
