Kogi: Onoja’s Inauguration a Nullity, Atrocious - PDP
…Urges CJN To Impose Sanctions

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dismisses the inauguration of a shadow deputy governor in Kogi state as a complete nullity, which has no place under our laws.

The party describes as scandalous to our judicial system, that the Chief Judge of Kogi state, Justice Nasir Ajana, whose panel acquitted the state deputy governor, Elder Simon Achuba, of any misconduct, suddenly flipped to conform with an odious plot by desperate Governor Yahaya Bello to forcefully remove the deputy governor.

The action of the Kogi Chief Judge has heavily jeopardized the integrity of the judiciary and capable of bringing the institution to public disrepute if not immediately checked.

Our party insists that the Chief Judge of Kogi state, in staging an illegal inauguration of Edward Onoja, as a deputy governor, while the office has not become constitutionally vacant, amounts to gross misconduct, which cannot be accommodated under our laws.

The PDP alerts that this is a clear demonstration of the reprehensible and sacrilegious design by Governor Yahaya Bello to entangle, drag down and corrupt the institution of the judiciary, cause a constitutional crisis, trigger mayhem and derail the smooth conduct of the November 16 governorship election in the state.

This is because there is no way there can be two deputy governors in the same state, more so as the people of Kogi state had already registered their anger and resentment against this illegality in the public space.

The party therefore calls on the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Mohammed Tanko, to take immediate steps to save Kogi State from a plunge into anarchy and chaos.

Nigeria is a nation governed by law and nobody must be allowed to set aside our constitution and corrupt our democratic order for his or her selfish and repressive agenda.

Kogi Guber Poll: Photoshopping My Father Into Your Campaign Is An 'Internet Joke' Taken Too Far. Stop It!" - Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim Warns Governor Yahaya Bello, Apc Media Organisations And Kogi Apc Campaign Organisation

Image
It is with rude shock it was brought to the ever-busy, too-focused-to-be-distracted attention of Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim, a picture where in his father, a former two-time Governor of Kogi State and elder statesman, His Excellency Ibrahim Idris was photoshopped along with Governor Yahaya Bello and his Chief of Staff-turned-running mate, Edward Onoja. First of all, Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim wishes to state in clear terms that such Photoshop stands condemned. It is a joke taken too far in the spirit of campaigns. He would not bother responding aside for the fact that we are in a season now of campaigns as a State and alot is out there in the media space already and with anything, a fake news can be sold to the populace in the name of information sharing and campaign. Alhaji Abubakar Ibrahim is using this piece to clarify that the picture that was so photoshopped is a picture of himself and his father, Ex-Governor Ibrahim Idris as far back as the early days of August 2019 in which ...

Kogi guber: the best efforts of Yahaya Bello is “not good enough” ~Averehi

A governorship aspirant and chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Hon. Bayo Adobanyin Averehi believes Gov. Yahaya Bello has not done enough to merit a second term in office. Speaking to newsmen during his formal declaration at the PDP secretariat in Lokoja, Averehi said Bello needs help as he does not have what it takes to excel as governor. He described the best efforts of Governor Bello as “not good enough”. He told the party that the state can no longer afford a ‘trial by error governor’, adding that he has what it takes to move the state forward. “The Governor has tried his best, that is all he has to offer. You cannot give what you don’t have, he definitely needs help and I am ready to provide that help by wrestling power from him to better the life of my people,” he said. According to Bayo Averehi, his entrance into the governorship race is to redefine democratic government in the state by correcting the prevailing wrong perception about democ...

Revolution Now: Avoid Leaving Behind A Poisonous Legac, Nigerians Don’t Have The History Of Defending The Actions Of Their Presidents When They Leave Office. ~Sen. Shehu Sanni To Buhari

Image
Senator Shehu Sani reminds Buhari that Sen. Shehu Sani warns Buhari to be careful of the legacy he'll leave behind after office. Success or failure is not really what counts right now. Forget claims of victory over the August 5 #RevolutionNow protest by the Buhari administration. As much as the handling of the protest seem like an achievement to the presidency, what the world sees however, is a government of oppression and rights violation. There has been widespread condemnation both from within and outside the country over attacks on protesters, harassment of journalists, and the illegal detention of Omoyele Sowore, the leading figure of the #RevolutionNow struggle. The Buhari presidency has been charged to respect the constitutional rights of Nigerians instead of acting as though the country is still under military rule. Oby Ezekwesili in a tweet yesterday, called on Buhari and all security operatives to remember that their appointments are temporal, and that they...
