25 pro-Amaechi lawmakers decamp to APC_PH now Fully APC

PORT HARCOURT—The 25 pro-Governor Rotimi Amaechi lawmakers in Rivers State, have dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for All Progressives Congress, APC, during the sitting of the state House of Assembly, yesterday, at the old auditorium of Government House, Port Harcourt.

Leader of the House, Mr. Chidi Lloyd, who announced their decision to decamp, said they had all ceased to be members of PDP.
He said: “The 25 pro-Amaechi lawmakers have asked me to declare our formal defection to APC. Henceforth, 25 of us should be referred to as APC members. We are telling the world today (yesterday) that we are all members of APC. All correspondence to us should describe us as APC members.”

Speaker of the House, Mr. Otelemaba Dan-Amachree, who presided over the sitting, directed that their action should be documented.
About 14 of them were present at the sitting.

The development came one year after the free for all amongst members of the House at the chamber of the Assembly complex on Moscow Road.
The House has since the incident been divided along the lines of pro and anti- Amaechi lawmakers.

Mr Evans Bipi is Speaker of the six anti-Amaechi lawmakers. They have continued to boycott every sitting of the pro-Amaechi lawmakers at the old auditorium of Government House, Port Harcourt.
Meanwhile, one of the pro-Amaechi lawmakers, Mr. Golden Chioma, who was kidnapped by gunmen, has been freed by his captors in the early hours of yesterday. It could not be confirmed if any ransom was paid for his release.

Jonathan has run out of ideas_ Buhari

Nigeria’s former military Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), has criticised President Goodluck Jonathan over the current spate of impeachments allegedly masterminded by his government against opposition governors across the country. Buhari was reacting to the impeachment of Governor Murtala Nyako of Adamawa State and the impending impeachment of Governor Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State (Both APC Governors). There are also strong rumours also that Edo Governor, Adams Oshiomhole and his Rivers State counterpart, Rotimi Amaechi, both of the APC, would be impeached, according to reports from Daily Sun. The national leader of the APC described the action of the ruling party as impunity and political rascality, warning that Nigerians had defeated impunity before and they would do so again.

According to Buhari, “what we are witnessing today, impunity and political rascality as demonstrated by the selective targeting and persecution of opposition politicians, is an attempt to subdue the will of Nigerians who have made clear their commitment to free their country from the grip of an incompetent leadership that is bent on severing the ties of nationhood and ruining whatever progress we have made as a country. “These actions portray a government that has run out of ideas, resorting to arbitrariness and executive criminality in order to silence dissent. Nigeria has been through this road before. 

This is a replay of the selective persecution using instruments of federal might in an attempt by previous regimes to perpetuate themselves in power.” Buhari further stated that “these regimes are now history, subdued by the collective struggle of the Nigerian masses. It is only a matter of time before this administration joins its predecessors in the garbage bin of history. “Nigerians have defeated impunity before, and they have not relented in their determination to stamp it out in the future. The primary role of government is to fulfill its constitutional obligations to the citizenry and not go on a witch-hunting spree against the opposition and whoever dares to expose its lies and deceptions.”

President Jonathan's Re-election Bid May Break Nigeria_Igbokwe Declares

Less than nine months before Nigerians go to the polls to elect their president, incumbent president, Goodluck Jonathan has been urged to jettison his re-election bid.
Pro-democracy activist, Comrade Joe Igbokwe made this plead while addressing journalists in Lagos on Wednesday, 16 July, 2014, saying that Jonathan’s reelection ambition is not in the nation’s interest.
Igbokwe also stated that the harassment of the opposition, the Boko Haram insurgency and impeachment of opposition governors underscored the President’s desperation to retain power.
The activist said these are among incidents that put democracy under threat in Nigeria.
Igbokwe stressed that if the quest for power was anchored on good performance, Dr. Jonathan is unfit for a second term because his handling of national affairs had been tragic and disastrous.

The activist urged the President to respect the zoning in the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), adding that Jonathan’s plan to rule for 10 years may break up the country.
Igbokwe said: “Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, from the South ruled Nigeria for eight years. It was also expected that the late President Umaru Yar’Adua, from the North, would rule for eight years, all other things being equal. But he died after two years in office. President Jonathan, Yar’Adua’s erstwhile vice-president from the South, took over the mantle of leadership. It was expected that he would complete the first term of Yar’Adua’s tenure and step aside for the North to complete their eight years.

Against protests from the North, Jonathan sought another term and got elected. By 2015, he would have ruled for six years. Seeking another term of four years will endanger our polity and create ethnic and religious tension, as we are witnessing now. We are in a democracy and, if we are still one country, there is need for equity and justice. Jonathan’s ambition to rule Nigeria for 10 years may break Nigeria.”
The activist accused the Federal Government for waging war against the All Progressives Congress (APC) in order to make the PDP retain power.
It could be noted that President Jonathan has not declared his ambition for a re-election, but individuals and partisan groups have endorsed him for a second term and are urging him to publicly declare his interest.
