PRESS RELEASE: EDO STATE PDP CONDEMN THE NON-ATTENDANCE OF GOV OBASEKI TO THE SOUTH-SOUTH GOVERNORS FORUM



Press Release




South-South Governors Meeting: Governor Obaseki Exposes his Political Naivety  

Edo State PDP condemn the non-attendance of Gov Obaseki to the South-South governors forum whereby the brave and courageous governors of the south-south met to deliberate on the illegal arraignment, persecution, molestation and brutal intimidation of one of its illustrious sons, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.

It is unfortunate that Governor Obaseki would rather play politics than take sides with the people of his region in the fight against oppression and tyranny. His decision to shun the meeting has further exposed his political naivety  and lack of political sagacity.

Governor Obaseki should know that as a region, we have been deprived of resources due us as well as infrastructural and human development. This is the time to identity with your kit and kin and not time to play the political ostrich.

Edo PDP would like to let the people know that Edo people are fully in support of the decision of the south-south governors and commends them for their courage to fight tyranny, oppression and persecution.

Governor Obaseki's absence is not a reflection of the view of the people of Edo state, but a confirmation of his subservience to forces outside the state.

For emphasis, Edo PDP can confirm that Edo people have condemned this assault on the judiciary and are in total support of the resolution reached by the South-south governors.


Signed

Chief Dan Osi Orbih
Chairman
PDP Edo State

Press Statement ... Political Violence:Afenifere Condemns Attacks on Ndigbo in Lagos

Image
Afenifere condemns in the strongest terms the political violence visited on Nigerians of Ndigbo extraction in Lagos during the Saturday Presidential elections.  Dirty political merchants and their band of thugs apart from engineering political disenfranchisement of Ndigbo,went ahead to visit violence on them and burning their votes en masse. The political vandals they used were said to have been calling themselves OPC but our checks with the genuine leaders of the group have shown that the deragend elements had no affiliation with the OPC known by Afenifere. We frown seriously at the failure of the security agencies to give adequate cover to Ndigbo in the affected communities as these thugs went berserk carrying out the instructions of their sinking political godfathers. We want to assure our Igbo Brothers and Sisters that the bond of friendship the Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndigbo have built particularly under the dynamic leadership of Chief John Nwodo remains strong an

LEADERSHIP QUOTES: Paul Kagame, on Radio Rwanda:

"If our country ranks first in Africa, and the whole world is watching us today, it is not because we have the Vatican, the Kabba, the White House, the Elysee or the Taj Mahal here at home. No more because you have a certain Paul Kagame as Head of State, but rather because you have sons and daughters of Rwanda in this country. Men and especially young people and Rwandan women who have forgiven each other, and who have taken the destiny of their country in their hands, by the meaning of work, innovations and patriotism as key to their progress and development . What we are doing here in Rwanda is not a miracle, nor is it impossible elsewhere, it is simply the commitment of an entire nation, especially Rwandan youth and women, but also political will. Soon, we will have the best universities in the world in our country (NYU, Harvard, London School of Economics, MIT ...) We will also have the best hospitals in Rwanda. The intelligence and competence of our children wil
