Buratai: When Misfits in PDP Awake from Slumber

By: James Bwala

The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC have clarified on the house they busted at WUSE 2 in Abuja. They have also named the military contractor whose house they found N1.8 Billion naira.

These facts and other related claims earlier mentioned have been put in the proper perspective in the records of ICPC since the reported allegations by Sahara Reporters whose mischievous lines have since been condemned by Nigerians. I think PDP is just waking up from sleep and I hope they won’t be sleeping on election days.

Dragging the name of Former Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Yusuf Buratai into muddy political water perhaps in PDP’s wild imagination and the dreams of some misfits within the drowning party is an anathema, abhorrence, loathing and curse that accompanied its downfall.

No wonder they could not settle since the outcome of the presidential primaries that saw their leader running from pillars to poles seeking relevance and acceptance from Nigerians who suffered under their draconian rules for sixteen years.

Robbing Peter to pay Paul has been in their blood lines and exactly what they wanted to achieve when they woke up from their sleep with Buratai’s name on their lips. They think by robbing Buratai of his good name and achievements over the years they can simply pay the debt they owe every Nigerian who places a curse on their deeds and misdeeds for sixteen years as shoplifters in government.

I would have worried and stood aside if the ICPC did not clear the air on Buratai’s name. But I was confident that a person like General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, who served the longest as Army Chief would naturally be blinded by power to open up for a sucker punch as the PDP and its misfits want to sell to right thinking Nigerians.

Let me be so particularly with my comrade and National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Debo Ologunagbe. There are issues begging for publicity for PDP. He should be busy unwinding the issues of the sixteen years of looting because we are going into campaign soon and Nigerians have the records in their hands. Questions would certainly be asked about Atiku and the Book by Olusegun Obasanjo is only a summary of Atiku’s achievements between 1999 and 2007.

There is an ongoing battle to win back Governor Wike of Rivers. He should ask if governor Okowa was able to get the loan for $25 Billion to bankroll their campaign for 2023. Recently we read that PDP gave Obasanjo an ultimatum to retract his comments on Atiku and Nigerians want to know.

The last time we heard of OBJ was that he was riding a tricycle in Ogun meaning that he had joined the association of tricycle riders and was looking for legitimate living and would no longer be part of the un-repented club.

Ologunagbe and his misfits in PDP should be busy repackaging PDP the other way and look for another General in place of OBJ because from all indications General Buratai is too busy to attend to misfits. Records speak volume and no one is stopping PDP from approaching ICPC for the records.

A Plateau elder Ambassador Yahaya Kwande has described the just concluded re-run election into the national assembly as a Triumph of Democracy.

In a release titled Congratulations to the Winners of Plateau State Bye Elections of February 3, 2024, he noted that the entire exercise was a victory to the people of the state.

“With great joy and profound gratitude, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the newly elected Senator, (Plateau North Senatorial District), Prince Pam Mwadkwon Dachungyang, and the Member of the House of Representatives, (Jos North/Bassa Constituency), Hon. Daniel Asama, on their resounding victory in the recently concluded bye election held in Plateau State.

“Your triumph is a testament to the true spirit of democracy and the unwavering support of the people.

“I have no doubt that both Prince Pam Mwadkon and Hon. Daniel Asama will live up to the aspirations and expectations of the voters, as they embark on this noble responsibility of representing their constituents. May your tenure be marked by dedication, integrity, and a relentless pursuit of progress for our beloved state and nation.

“As we celebrate this momentous milestone, let us not forget the challenges we faced during the post-2023 elections period. It is my sincere hope that Plateau State will swiftly recover from the divisions and tussles that marred our unity. Let us unite as one, for the strength of our state lies in our togetherness.

“It is essential for the government and the people to undertake immediate measures to reconcile and bridge the gaps that have emerged. We must never forget that every citizen, irrespective of their religion or ethnicity, is entitled to their fundamental rights. The use of religion as a tool of disfranchisement must cease; we must affirm that citizenship rights are not conditional on faith.

“Let us also strive to recapture the lost glory of our state, when Jos was hailed as the political Mecca of Nigeria, attracting momentous political events and embracing politicians from all shades and ideologies. We can revive this legacy by nurturing an environment that exudes peace, openness, and security for all. Together, we can restore Plateau State as a beacon of democratic excellence.

“In conclusion, I express my utmost optimism for the future of Plateau State. I extend my deepest appreciation to all who peacefully participated in the bye election, be it as candidates or enthusiastic supporters. Our journey towards progress and development continues, and I am confident that we will stand united, empowered by the unwavering spirit of our people.” said Kwande.

APC-IGG: Ambassador Tsoken commends President Tinubu for intervening to ease hardship for Nigerians.

By: Jabiru Hassan

The National President of the APC Initiative for Good Governance (APC-IGG), Ambassador Musa Mohammed Tsoken, has commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for intervening to ease the hardships affecting Nigerians.

In a message he issued to newsmen in Abuja on Monday, Ambassador Tsoken described President Tinubu as a leader with listening war by giving a marching order for the release of different food items to ease hardships for the people of Nigeria, which is a good initiative.

”APC-IGG has recognized what Mr. President has done in order to ease the hardship affecting the people on the food price hike, which is very good foresight from our leader. We therefore thank all those who have helped with the implementation of the process to release the food items from the federal government reserves across the country for their well-deserved thought.” The statement was added.

Ambassador Musa Mohammed Tsoken reassured the people of Nigeria that the APC Initiative for Good Governance would continue to work selflessly in order to ensure that Nigeria is progressive under the present democratic dispensation without bias.

Amb Tsoken emphasizes that the emergence of His Excellency Sen. Dr. George Akume as the Secretary to the Government of the Federation depicts the fact that President Bola Ahmad Tinubu has reliable and credible individuals who have verse experience in governance from all ramifications; therefore, the deliverance of democratic dividends is something that Nigerians should believe in its workability and full efficacy in the near future, considering the fact that some of the policies and programs of the Renewed Hope Agenda have started gaining sway in the lives of the citizenry, he concluded.
