Excerpts Of Bola Tinubu's Interview On AlJazeera

Nigeria’s political landscape has changed. It will change forever and change for good. The scale and balance of power is tilting and changing to the opposition. We are moving from imperialism to proper democracy.

This development will start reshaping the landscape of politics in this country forever. 

Not for us only but for the generation unborn. And the future of this country to take its position as a leader in Africa. And not just a well populated country that is big and directionless.

PDP Governors & APC Strike Power-Sharing Deal

The merger between the APC and the five of the G-7 governors is still on course and with the way the PDP in Abuja is talking tough, the remaining two governors may soon join the train. The new Peoples Democratic Party said on Wednesday that it had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the All Progressives Congress that will prevent any clash of interest in future.

According to an insider in the party: “We have agreed that the New PDP governors would control the APC structures in their states. For Kano and Sokoto, we will reconcile the governors and their predecessors.”

Anambra Election Debacle: It's Time To End Electoral Impunity

By Chief Bisi Akande

It is said that when bad things happen, it provides a chance for good people to make things better! The mess that has been made of the Anambra election by the same body saddled with ensuring that it is free and fair is indeed a bad thing. While the Anambra debacle, in which INEC apparently acted out a script written by the presidency and the PDP, represents a new low in the country's unenviable saga of electoral impropriety, it must now signal the death knell for electoral malfeasance and brigandage in Nigeria.

Make no mistake about it: If something drastic but lawful is not done now to stop this electoral impunity, our country is ultimately heading for the precipice. This is not about crying wolf where none exists. The wolf is here and ready to pounce. Our challenge is to stop it before it is too late. As things stand, we have a dangerous admixture of Power and Impunity, and the end product cannot but be explosive. 

Why Jonathan Should Start Preparing To Vacate Aso Rock

Late Tuesday morning, at about 11:46, the National Chairman of the New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, formally announced the merger of the party with the All Progressives Congress (APC). The merger was contained in a communiqué which Alhaji Baraje read to journalists at the end of a meeting between the leadership of New PDP and that of the APC held at the Kano Governor’s Lodge in Abuja. 

The communiqué signed by Bisi Akande the APC National Chairman and Kawu Abubakar Baraje the National Chairman of NPDP reads, “A meeting of the leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, and the new PDP met this morning at the residence of the Kano State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, in Abuja and after exhaustive deliberations the two parties agreed to merge in order to rescue our fledgling democracy and the nation” 

Finally, G7 Governors Agree To Dump PDP and Move To APC

The crisis rocking the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) seems to have finally reached a climax with the G-7 governors resolving to join the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC). This comes barely 24 hours after President Goodluck Jonathan chose to ignore a planned meeting with the governors which was seen as a make or break meeting between them and the President.

Following Jonathan's decision to postpone the meeting and the set up of a disciplinary committee by PDP, the G7 governors met behind closed doors in Abuja on Monday night and take strong decisions.

The strategic meeting, which ended around 12:30am on Tuesday was very frank and the governors all agree that staying in the PDP will not do them any good.

Six of the governors voted in favour of dumping the PDP and joining the APC, now that they still have enough time to win more converts in the states and in the National Assembly.

Governors Sule Lamide of Jigawa State is however not in a hurry. He believes Obasanjo and a few men in the North can still do something and compel Jonathan to respect his agreement to serve only one term.

But a large number of Senators and majority of House of Reps members are ready to follow G7 governors.

Anambra Election: Osun APC arrested fake observers must be jailed - Adeyeye

Afenifere Chieftain and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Ekiti State, Prince Dayo Adeyeye has said that one of the ways for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to sanitise the electoral system ahead of the 2014 governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun States is to make sure that those 181 All Progressives Congress (APC) thugs from Osun State who claimed to be election observers and were arrested in Owerri, Imo State are jailed.

Adeyeye, who was reacting to the INEC Chairman, Prof Attahiru Jega's insistence during a press conference on Friday, that the 181 miscreants, who claimed to be
election observers and were arrested in Owerri, Imo State were fake as they were not accredited by the commission to monitor the election, said; "If these people are not punished to serve as deterrent to others, one can begin to wonder how many thousands of thugs will invade Ekiti State under the guise of election monitors during the next year election.

Jega had said, “the so-called election observers from Osun State are fake. They did not belong to any accredited organisation. They did not come to Awka, the state capital, where the accreditation took place. They went to camp in Owerri for only God knows reasons. We should commend the security agencies that caught them before they could wreak their havoc.

Baraje, Oyinlola Won’t Appear Before Disciplinary Panel ––nPDP

We have read from some of the national dailies of the alleged summoning of the PDP National Secretary, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola; nPDP National Chairman, Alhaji Abubakar Kawu Baraje, National Deputy Chairman, Dr. Sam Sam Jaja, and the National Vice-Chairman, North West, Ambassador Ibrahim Kazaure, by the PDP Disciplinary Committee said to be headed by Second Republic Minister, Alhaji Umaru Dikko.

Our initial reaction was to ignore these reports since the PDP Constitution does not recognize the existence of the so-called Dikko Committee as due process was not followed in its establishment. Besides, the fact that the committee – if at all it exists – did not have the courtesy to directly invite the accused to appear before it strips it of any atom of seriousness.
