Obi playing The Game of politics with Nigeria’s unity —APC
The All Progressives Congress says the “sensationalisation” of the recent “home return” of 14 persons from Lagos State by Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State can threaten the nation’s unity.
Obi playing politics with Nigeria’s unity —APC
The party, in a statement on Sunday by its Interim National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, said Obi’s action was dangerous.
The APC said instead of reaching out to his Lagos State counterpart, as he had done on less important issues in the past, Obi wrote an “over-dramatised letter” to the Presidency and leaked it to the media.
According to the party, Obi, by his action, has set off an avoidable friction between the Igbo and the Yoruba.
The APC added that Obi by the approach, wanted to gain an undue advantage ahead of the forthcoming Anambra governorship election.
The APC stated, “We are not saying Governor Obi has no right to play politics, but he must fight clean and avoid any action that could hurt, not just the enduring harmony between the Igbo and the Yoruba, but also the unity of the country.
“Resorting to primordial sentiments, anytime election is approaching, is Governor Obi’s modus operandi. He did it just before the 2009 election, when he labelled the ACN, under which Dr. Chris Ngige contested, as a Yoruba party, and he is going down the same path now. This is all about the November 2013 election.Continue........
Presidency, APC in Serious war of words
The Presidency on Sunday blasted APC leaders saying that these were not just unprogressive but also describing them as “politically expired” politicians. However, the APC reacted swiftly, saying Nigerians knew perfectly that most of the PDP leaders were septuagenarians and octogenarians.
Presidency, APC In War Of Words
APC national leaders – Chief Bisi Akande is 74 years, Maj.-Gen. Muhamadu Buhari,70; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, 61 and Chief Ogbonnaya Onu, 61. The PDP National Chairman, Bamanga Tukur, is 76; Board of Trustees Chairman, Chief Tony Anenih, is 80 and Chairman, Disciplinary Committee, Umaru Dikko, is 77.
But the Presidency, through the Special Assistant to the President on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, said with the “politically expired” leaders in the APC, there was no way it would be a threat to the PDP.
It added in a statement in Abuja, that it would be foolhardy for anyone to think that the APC would be an alternative to the PDP.

Convention: Atiku Protests Exclusion
As politicians begin subtle battles ahead of 2015 elections, a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has complained that he is being sidelined by the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party.
Already, he said his name was not on the delegates lists from Adamawa State chapter of the party for the August 31 Special National Convention. The party will use the convention to elect some of its national officers, who resigned recently due to irregularities in the last election that brought them to office.
Atiku is also protesting against his not being invited for the party’s National Executive Committee and Board of Trustees meetings, which he said should not be so “since he is a statutory delegate as a former Vice President.”

Now That Mega Party APC Gets INEC Approval - What Next ?? (By Dele Momodu)
Mega Party APC Approved By INEC - What Next ?
. You will agree with me that it was never a smooth ride for them, and they were forced to fight like wounded lions, every step of the way, against all manner of forces that attempted to frustrate their efforts and derail their mission.
But APC should not be over-confident. What binds PDP together is very strong, access to power and money, a surfeit of it for that matter.Continue...
