The All Progressives Congress (APC) To Present A Candidate For 2023 General Election

The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday assured that sooner the ruling party will present a consensus and agreeable presidential candidate for 2023 general election.
 It said the party was more interested now to stabilise against shocks that may arise from individual ambition of stakeholders.
Senator John James Akpanudedehe, National Secretary, APC Caretaker/ Extraordinary Conven­tion Planning Committee (CECPC), in a statement in Abuja in reaction to the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) recent allegation that President Muhammadu Bu­hari had a self-succession plan, stressed that the party would not allow individual ambitions to derail the Bu­hari administration, ahead of the 2023 presidential poll.
He said unlike the opposition PDP, the APC was a disciplined party, noting that the former was just being haunted by its past.
Akpanudoedehe recalled the third term agenda of the PDP while it was in power, pointing out that the APC would surprise it with the outcome of its planned congresses scheduled to commence on July 31.
“APC has no third term agenda like PDP. What we are doing now is to stabilise the party and not allow in­dividual ambitions to derail President Buhari’s administration,” he said.
“Unlike the opposition, we are a disciplined party. PDP is just been haunted by its past. You will recall the in­glorious third term agenda while PDP was in power. So, it is easy to accuse APC now.
“After our (APC) congresses and the national convention, we will shock them (PDP) by bringing a consensus and an agreeable candidate that will fly the flag of the party come 2023. APC has no 3rd term agenda like PDP.
“What we are doing now is to stabilise the party and not allow individual ambi­tions to derail the adminis­tration of President Muhammadu Buhari”, he said.
In a related development, Sen. Akpanudoedehe explained why the party is recommending the consen­sus option for the election of party officials at all levels to reduce acrimony.
“For us, we have to take into consideration the need to accommodate everyone because the APC is a party for all Nigerians.
“We are encouraging states to adopt the consen­sus arrangement because it saves costs and reduces acrimony. That is why when you look at Article 20 of our constitution which talks about elections, the first thing there is for members to try reaching a consensus. When that fails, then you go to cast ballots.
“We are making sure we do not leave any room for the opposition, especially the Peoples Democratic Party to sponsor people to cause confusion in our midst.”

The wife of  Lagos State Governor, Dr( Mrs) Joke Sanwo-olu has taken to alert the general public contrary to misinformation  that curfew has not been announced in Lagos  State. She said "The state Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-olu dropped the idea of imposing a curfew in the state meant to allow the fumigation exercise of public space." Relying on expert advice the Governor said the disinfectant is non toxic, noting that the exercise has commenced. He said: I'm pleased to note that we have taken possession of over 200 disinfecting machines, and starting today, we will be disinfecting all major highways, bus stops, markets, parks and other public areas."

Nigeria Celebrates 58th Independence Anniversary; Nigeria Still Under Servitude.

Image
By YUSUFF Oladeji Afeez (SIR-USEFUL) Before I attempt to analyse the theme/topic of this piece, the questions we should pose in our minds are : What is Independence? Has Nigeria gotten Independence? If truly Nigeria has gotten Independence, Why is she still in servitude? According to Merriam Webster Dictionary,  Independence is "the freedom from outside control or support". Independence is also seen as the time when a country or region gains political freedom from outside control. In the process of providing a definition to the word, "Independence", I noticed a  keyword, present,  in the definitions of Independence, supplied earlier in this piece,  which is "FREEDOM". And according to me, "Freedom is knowing the right thing, and doing the right thing,  which is the only way to  liberate one's self (someone)  from slavery." Since,  We,  Nigerians have deviated from the right things, and doing what is right, we have put ourselves under/in servi...
