PDP BOMBS ACN! ••Oshiomhole Begged To Join PDP; But We Refused! ••ACN Leaders Are The Real Rogues ••Massive Frauds in Edo!

==============
The spokesperson of the ruling PDP, Olisa Metuh, has claimed that the Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, on several occasions, begged the leadership of the party to let him decamp to the PDP.

He said the governor was consistently turned down by the Nigerian ruling party. Mr. Metuh, who spoke via a statement, “urged the Edo State Governor, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole to be bold enough to tell Nigerians how many times he begged to join the PDP but was turned down”.

"The same PDP which Adams went on all fours, begging to join on several occasions has suddenly become the "party of rogues” because of his desperation to justify the massive rigging and democratic aberration that was local government elections in Edo state.

"In 2007, Adams (Oshiomhole) begged to be given an opportunity under the Umbrella but we considered his governorship aspiration an assault on the existing zoning formula in the state and quietly turned him down. Again in 2012, Adams once more came cap in hand and our great Party again rejected him,” Mr. Metuh said.

Speaking further, Mr. Metuh said, “Is Adams just realizing how bad our party is and was all the while begging for membership,”.

#ACN Leaders Are The Real Rogues#

The statement also claimed that it is Mr. Oshiomhole’s ACN, that is the real brood of rogues as their actions in the conduct of local government elections in Lagos, Ogun and now Edo show.

“First is that Oshiomhole is governor primarily because of the unflinching commitment of the PDP to the rule of law and credible elections. No amount of falsehood by the ACN can obliterate this. Governor Oshiomhole therefore carries a huge moral burden when as the largest beneficiary of these democratic values guaranteed by the PDP led Federal Government, he went ahead without scruples to deny his people the opportunity to elect the leaders of their choice.

“And when Oshiomhole referred to the PDP as corrupt,” the statement continued, “it is very needful to remind him that corruption is home to the states under the ACN.”

”Without guessing the disquieting cases of corruption in Edo State, we wish to ask Governor Oshiomhole to explain how less than a 7 kilometre Benin Airport road fraudulently awarded at six billion naira is yet to be completed after four years and how six hundred million naira was used to change the roof and repaint the walls of Idia College in Benin.”

The statement further said it was nothing but corruption that could cause the buildings at the central hospital in Benin to collapse under construction after the project was awarded at the whooping sum of N2 billion

The PDP also challenged the Edo Governor to unmask the face of the printer behind the sub-standard ballot papers used for the local government polls for which hundreds of millions of tax payers’ money was spent.

Tinubu, Buhari In Dilemma Over APC Registration
May Meet To Shop for Alternative Name

Leaders of two of the major opposition parties in the merger talks forming a ‘gang-up’ alliance against the ruling Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN)and the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC)are in dilemma over its name and registration with the Independent Electoral Commission(INEC ­).Their adopted name - All Progressives Congress(APC) is the major headacheas INEC had declined to give the ‘green light’ on its possible registration.

Investigations gathered that the party leaders are desperately considering an alternative name following INEC's insistence that the APC won't get its nod for registration.

Investigations however indicated that the leaders
of the opposition in the APC would likely meet in
Abuja before this week end in the house of one of
its chieftain, Mr. Tom Ikimi who recently turned 69 to consider the options available to them. Sources close to the officials of the alliance talks indicate that ά section of its leadership is already considering three options in order to resolve the present impasse with the INEC.

The first according to our sources was a change of name which will involve addition of Nigeria to APC to make itAll Progressives Congress of Nigeria,though there is still the fears that another group may still beat them to the registration before the process is concluded as it was the case with the APC apart from that, adopting a new name which ά faction of the fusing parties believedmay be ά campaign tool against their future prospect as ά viable opposition party in the country. We gathered that the second option included the adoption of an
existing political party into which all the merging parties would fuse.
