APC Wants PDP Dead - Gov. Fayose Alleges

Fayose has accused the ruling All Progressives Congress of covertly plotting for the demise of the main opposition party, PDP, due to its alleged intolerance of the tenets of democracy.

Governor Ayodele Fayose has accused the All Progressives Congress of having a hand in the leadership crisis of the People's Democratic Party, PDP, which recently experienced failure in its well-publicised party convention which was slated to take place in the South-south part of Nigeria.
 
 Fayose said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) wants the‎ Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) dead because the APC does not want a virile opposition to challenge its obnoxious policies and inability to tackle the problems confronting the country, according to Premium Times.

Speaking in Port Harcourt on Wednesday on the sideline of the national convention of the PDP, Mr. Fayose said such a development would not, however, be in the interest of the country and Nigerians at large.

In a statement by the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, the governor was quoted as saying that a virile opposition was a vital ingredient for democracy and necessary to make democracy thrive.

Mr. Fayose, who could not attend the convention owing to the blockade of the road leading to the Old Presidential Lodge of the Rivers State government house where he was accommodated, said the condoning off of the Sharks Stadium, Port Harcourt by the police on the orders of the Inspector General of Police, had the input of the APC-led Federal Government. He said the police only acted the script written by the APC-led government.

“I witnessed what the police did early today in Port Harcourt, it is most unfortunate. It has shown that we are indeed in a perilous time in the country. The APC is desperate to kill opposition and silence others‎ because they are afraid that their inability to properly govern the country and tackle the challenges facing us as a nation would be exposed by a virile PDP.

‘”The Buhari government is dictatorial. There is tension everywhere.‎ All sectors are down and they are focusing on killing the opposition.‎ What business has APC with PDP internal matters?

“If they said they wanted to act on court orders, why didn’t they act on more than four orders that were in favour of the Markafi group?‎

They don’t have answers to the terrible situations in the country but they know that an organised PDP will be emboldened to challenge them,” he said.

The governor wondered what would have happened if the PDP acted like the APC and refused to hand over to the APC last year.
 
The ruling APC has frequently denied complicity in the woes of the PDP that celebrated the membership of Ali Modu Sheriff before events went south.

Do you have ultra-sensitive eyes? Then it is time to prove it. See if you can tell the authenticity of this Adekunke Gold/Nicki Minaj picture. Alternative singer, Adekunle Gold, is seen in this photo posing with Rap Queen, Nicki Minaj. But there is one problem? Is the famous 'Sade' crooner really posing with the American rap mogul. Look closly and see if you can tell.   Ok, let's help you out.   The YBNL singer is not really posing with Nicki Minaj. It is only a work of graphic. It is widely known that he is a great graphics designer and this is yet another of is work of ingenuity.

Minister of  Sports, Solomon Dalung yesterday came face to face with the rot, neglect and abandonment that surmised the derelict state of facilities under his commission, scattered all over Lagos. *Dalong The minister who began his facility tour from Sea School, Apapa drove into the famed Games Village in Surulere at exactly 12.02 pm with a retinue of aides that included the Director General of the National Sports Commission, Alhassan Yakmut, the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Christian Ohaa, the NFF President, Amaju Pinnick, directors, deputy directors, scores of journalists, among others. A staff of the ministry was on hand to guide the  minister round the expansive Games Village and what did the minister see? – an old, disused and abandoned facility which, if well maintained, could save the country a lot of funds and generate more to the federation account. Although renovation work is ongoing, the minister was not satisfied with the pace of work whic
