Aregbesola commends aggrieved APC members for not defecting to opposition parties

Rauf Aregbesola, the former governor of Osun state has commended aggrieved members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) who lost out in the last primaries for not defecting to the opposition parties in Akwa Ibom state.

Legit.ng gathered that the former governor led other members of the South-South National Peace and Reconciliation Committee of the APC.

The former governor explained that the committee was in the state to interact and hear from leaders and concerned members of the party with a view to brokering truce as a result of grievances that trailed the last primaries of the party in the state.

Aregbesola addressing aggrieved aspirants said: ‘’I must commend you for the maturity you have exhibited by putting behind you the hurt to work for the victory of our party. It is obvious that the APC is taking over the state in 2019.

‘’Therefore, I urge you to bury the agonies, pains and miseries of the past and remain true to the party because the victory of the party will drive away all that. The arranged defection of APC members to the PDP at Ibom Hall shows that APC is strong in Akwa Ibom and it has successfully pushed Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to start acting mischievous.”

Ini Okopido, the state chairman of the APC, in his response expressed delight that the four aspirants that contested the governorship primaries of the party have decided to bury their hatchets and join hands to work with Obong Nsima Ekere, the flagbearer of the party, to ensure victory for the party in 2019.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
