A chieftain of APC in Adamawa, Ahmed Lawal on Thursday, April 4, cautioned the leader of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Ahmed Tinubu, against power rotation saboteurs within the party.

He advised the leadership of the governing party to review its performance at the governorship election.

He said such would enable the leadership to identify those elements that were held bent to frustrate the planned power rotation to the southern part of the country.

Lawal, who is the organising secretary of the APC in Adamawa, accused some prominent members of the party of anti party activities during the last general elections.

He said: “As a party with vision for equity and fairness, the APC has already planned to shift power to the southern part of Nigeria.

”It is worthy of note that some political elements in the Northern Nigeria are opposed to the arrangement.

“They worked against APC during the last governorship elections with the aim of allowing the opposition PDP to win more states.

”This was done to build the PDP to be formidable to wrestle power from APC in 2023 against the interest of the south.

“I am urging the leadership of the party at the national level to review the last governorship elections with the view to identifying those elements and wield the stick on them.

”The south supported us to rule for eight years, it will be bad if we in turn, betray them and still retain power in the north.''

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...
