Speaking with a team of journalist at the State of the Nation Press conference today, 1ST of November, 2018 in Abuja, the African democratic congress gubernatorial candidate in Imo State, Ejike Chukwu reiterated once again that his party is neither in crisis nor is his candidacy unanimously and freely given to him by party faithful threatened in any way.

He assured the media and the general public that he is on ground and preparing adequately for the general election.

Mr. Ejike Chukwu, who was recently endorsed by the former President, Chief Olusegun

On the recently concluded party primaries across the Nation, he urged party leaders across various political parties to ensure that internal democracy is enshrined in the conduct of the party elections while also guilding against imposition of unpopular candidates.

He promised to ensure that under his administration as the Governor of Imo State, that all parts of the State will be adequately and equitably catered for.      

INEC RECONFIRMS CHIEF MRS CHIKA IBENEME AS SUBSTANTIVE NATIONAL CHAIRMAN OF MAJA PARTY.

Officials of INEC who visited the FCT Party Secretariat in Life Camp, Abuja during the inauguration of its Abuja Chapter has reaffirmed that Chief Mrs Ibeneme remains the substantive National chairman of MAJA Party. The Commission took this position while relying on the Constitution of the MAJA Party which states clearly the conditions and procedures for electing officers of the Party.

INEC certainly does not recognize any faction or splinter group as Excos of the Party.

Also rising from an emergency meeting at the National Secretariat of the Party which has more than one third of the Party's NEC and State Chairmen in attendance, the NEC unanimously approved the indefinite suspension of those impersonating as members of the Party's NEC and directed the publication of names of those misleading members of the public to forestall fraudulent activities in the name of the Party. Recall that a group of self serving individuals declared themselves members of the NEC and elected a presidential candidate outside the Party's convention and laid down procedures. These acts are unconstitutional and designed to bring the Party to disrepute. The general public is advised to disregard them, as anyone who deals with them runs the risk of being duped.

Saraki Faults INEC Verdict on Osun Polls, Urges PDP Supporters to Remain Firm

President of the Senate and Chairman, People's Democratic Party (PDP) Presidential Council on  Osun State Gubernatorial Election, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, has faulted the declaration by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the election results were inconclusive.

Saraki, in a statement signed by him, expressed dismay over the decision by INEC to declare as "inconclusive" an election in which a candidate won the highest number of votes and fulfilled the condition for geographical spread.

"In my lay man's opinion, the INEC was wrong in declaring the election as inconclusive because the votes in certain polling units were cancelled. The decision of INEC to cancel the election in those areas after voting had taken place means INEC had already excluded the votes in these areas from the election process and therefore those units should have no place in the overall results. My opinion would have been different if the election in the affected units did not take place at all, may be as a result of malfunctioning of the card reader machine or unavailability of the electoral materials. Since the voting took place and was cancelled, only the courts could reverse the initial decision by INEC to cancel the votes in these areas.

"That is why I call on our party and its candidate to seek further legal interpretation on this decision by the electoral body. One cannot but wonder whether if the places were reversed and the candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) is the one leading in the election, the INEC will take the same decision it has taken now.

"At this point, it is necessary to also call on INEC to display courage, boldness, independence, neutrality and patriotism so as to send signals to the world at large that Nigerian electoral system has come of age and that our democracy has matured. The electoral body needs to re-assure all and sundry that the 2019 election and other elections will be free of manipulations and undue interference.

"The INEC should note that the Osun gubernatorial election is not only about that South-western state. It is about our country and the entire world is watching. Our national interest is at stake. The integrity of our electoral system is at stake. The reputation of the electoral body is at stake. The future of our democracy is on the line. The way INEC conclusively handles the Osun election will determine global expectations from our political process. It should therefore ensure that the wish of the Osun State electorate eventually prevail.

"I praise the dedication and hard work of PDP supporters and the candidate of the party, Senator Ademola Adeleke. They have remained steadfast, resilient, focused and determined. 

"Let me also commend all the other contestants in yesterday's election for their gallant efforts because it is clear they are all working for the same objective from different perspectives and platforms to ensure that the era of mis-governance, pain, injustice and insensitivity to the plight of the common people comes to an end. It is our hope that they will all co-operate with Senator Adeleke to ensure that Osun State witnesses a development-oriented era.

"Let me remind our party supporters and the good people of Osun State that this INEC decision constitute only a delay of the victory of Senator Ademola Adeleke and the PDP in Osun Gubernatorial election, as our triumph will come either through the judiciary or  a further balloting.

"I thank PDP supporters and the general public in Osun State and note that we got to this point after many months of hard work, determination and focus. We should not despair and not lose our focus and determination to ensure that the final results reflect the will of the Osun people.

"Our party is ahead, despite the irregularities. Our people must remain resilient to see this through to the finish. Now is the time to re-strategize, reach out to all the other candidates and their supporters, build on our lead, and bring this election home.

"Our supporters and the entire people of Osun State should remain calm and maintain peace as we move forward to see the successful completion of the electoral process. "Once again, I thank all supporters of the PDP and the people of Osun State who stayed up all night, both physically and on social media to monitor the numbers and protect our votes. We remain undeterred, and we all remain determined to ensure that Senator Ademola Adeleke becomes the next Governor of Osun State", Saraki stated.

Signed

Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki, CON

President of the Senate and Chairman, PDP Presidential Council on Osun Gubernatorial Election

BREAKING….Sulaiman BAKARI Keys into race for House of Representatives

A top Economic and Financial Crimes Commission EFCC officer Sulaiman Bakari is certainly a huge contender and a force to beat as excitement greeted the large crowd that accompanied him to pick his nomination form to represent the people of Jalingo, Yorro, Zing federal constituency of Taraba State at the National Assembly in the 2019 general elections under the platform of the All Progressive Congress (APC). Bakari picked his nomination form in the early hours of Monday, 10th September, 2019  at the party's headquarters in Abuja.

This confirms the earlier reports that SB, as he is widely known, has been dissatisfied with the level of representation at his constituency could take the bull by the horn in throwing his heart into the race. The purchase of the nomination form comes on the heels of the call on the current representative not to bother contesting as he would find his support in the mud that would entrap him.

S.B who exudes in him the training and experience he has acquired over the years while working as a top EFCC detective said corruption must be nipped on the board if we must progress as a nation: "I am not coming for self-aggrandizement or other personal wishes, but to rescue Nigerians from the menace of corruption. Our education is backward because of corruption; we went into recession because of corruption; our youths are unemployed because of corruption and the list goes on and on". He added that his call to represent the people of Jalingo, Yorro, Zing was to move them out of the shackles of corruption, saying the constituents deserve their entitlements which is the dividends of democracy.

A staunch supporter of Sulaiman Bakari said "the time has come for us to redeem ourselves and our ideologies. We need to participate in the decision making process of our constituency. We have been relegated to the background by our current representative who dwells in satisfying self over everyone else in his constituency. We must break this chain and join the train of progress. We cannot vote someone who milks himself and his family alone. We are wiser. We will vote out the self centred representative".

SB has been an EFCC liaison officer at the National Assembly for several years where his job was found to be much more commendable. His presence at the National Assembly gave him the opportunity to represent the Commission in most functions and engaged in numerous management programmes. Most worthy of note is that while serving at the National Assembly, Sulaiman participated in some special projects in conjunction with the leadership of the national Assembly and shared some outstanding ideas.

Mr. Bakari has had the opportunity to attend so many professional courses both local and international. He was also privileged to be trained by the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI, USA, as Fundamental Criminal investigative Analyst, April 2015, at West Africa Regional Training Centre, Accra Ghana. In his unbridled quest to acquire further knowledge, Mr. S.B  returned to his alma mater, that is, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria in 2012, where he obtained a Master's Degree in Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice. He is currently running another 2-year Master's Degree Programme in Anti-Corruption Studies (MACS), with the only Anti-Corruption Academy in the world, the International Anti-Corruption Academy, Laxenburg, Austria.

According to him, "one man alone cannot fight corruption. It must be a collective drive. If we want to get ourselves back on track following the dreams of our heroes past, we must rid corruption from our society. The anti-corruption fight must be taken to the National Assembly. Once it gets there, we shall witness a better Nigeria".
