Uduaghan Confirms Plan To Defect To APC And Dump PDP.

ASABA- FORMER Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Udaughan, has finally confirmed that he will dump the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, for the All Progressives Congress, APC. Speaking on phone to Vanguard, Thursday evening, the former governor said there was pressure on him to come to APC, but it was not an affair of the National Chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole. “The situation is more from the situation on ground in PDP and my political future. I am also looking at my political future and those of my followers. I have studied the political terrain and I believe the Delta should not be in opposition,” he said. Asked if Comrade Oshiomhole had discussed his movement to APC with him, Uduaghan said: Yes, I am talking with Oshiomhole, we are discussing like old colleagues, it is not a pressure, he would wish that I come over, but I also told him that I have a leader, Chief James Onanefe Ibori and they should have a discussion with him.” An APC chieftain, who spoke to Vanguard corroborated Uduaghan’s claim, saying: “Uduaghan and Oshiomhole are ex-governors and friends, so when the matter came up regarding Uduaghan joining APC, he made it clear that he has a political leader, who is Chief James Ibori.” His words: “He told Oshiomhole and those, who spoke to him to discuss with Ibori because as far as he is concerned, there is no competition between him (Oshiomhole) and Ibori over who is his political leader. Ibori is his leader and I do not think that Oshiomhole will contest that.” The stalwart added: “There are a lot of issues and undercurrents regarding Uduaghan and his movement to APC, which will not be dragged to the media just now. We have to watch.” Findings by Vanguard indicated that the former governor may in the next few days register as an APC member and pick the party’s senatorial ticket for a battle with Senator James Manager for the Delta South senatorial ticket. He is also expected to work with other APC leaders in the state, including Chief Great Ogboru, who he defeated in the gubernatorial elections to deliver the state to APC in 2019. Uduaghan’s new move after many thought that he had been pacified by Chief Ibori, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and others will certainly change political calculations in the state for 2019. His decision to join APC has also enlivened many of his followers, who were taken aback at his initial resolution to stay back after some PDP leaders rushed to appeal to him.

THE BUHARI FACTOR

President Muhammadu Buhari and some ministers have returned the sum of N118 billion to the national treasury as unused capital budget for the 2017 fiscal year This amount represents 8.1 percent of N1.4 trillion which was the total capital budget released and almost four times the size of Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) budget in 2017, which was N30.3billion. Out of the N10.9billion released to the presidency as its capital budget, only N10.7 billion was utilised leaving a total of N200million as unused which was returned to the treasury according to the document. According to a document titled, “2017 capital performance for ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) as at June 12, 2018” obtained from office of the Accountant-General of the Federation, Mr. Babatunde Fashola of the Ministry of Works, Power and Housing topped the list of Ministers with highest amount of capital budget balance returned to the government coffer. While Ministries of Works, Power and Housing has N66.9billion, Ministry of Trade and Investment returned N22.8 billion as unused capital budget. Other ministries and agencies of the Federal Government in the category of top ten unused capital budget include, Office of the National Security Adviser with N6.1billion, Ministry of Finance, N4.3billion, Ministry of Health N3.5billion, office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation N3 billion. Also, Ministry of Education has N1.8b, while Ministry of Solid Minerals and Water Resources with N1.4b and N1.1b respectively. The National Population Commission (NPC) has N33.4 million, Ministry of Environment with N24.8 million and Head of Service, N13.1 million. The Ministry of Youth Development has N1.9 million followed by Ministry of Foreign Affairs which has N2.5 million and Ministry of Labour and Employment that has N3.2million, Others are Ministry of Interior, N4.5million, Fiscal Responsibility Commission N5.7 million, Niger Delta Ministry, N5.9 million and Defence which has N6.9million. This amounted to N101.5million. However, the National Emergency Agency (NEMA) whose emergency readiness has been suspect has as much as N193million unused capital budget. Out of the total releases which stood at N266 million, only N72.5 million was utilized leaving a balance of N193.5 million at a time the agency’s air ambulance and rescue helicopters were grounded over expired insurance policy that cost between N20million and N17 million for the two aircraft respectively. The document also revealed that the National Pension Commission (PENCOM) did not utilize the entire N375 million released to it for capital project while the National Hajj Commission of Nigeria (NAHCON) also failed to use its allocation of N298 million. DAILY POST reports that the execution of the 2017 budget was also adversely impacted by the late passage of the Budget as well as the shortfall in the expected oil and non-oil revenue receipts. This has never happened before in Nigeria. GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

Makarfi deserves to win PDP ticket for 2019

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news to some who may consider it so. I gave it straight to you last week when I told you that Sen. Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi should be the PDP Nominee for President. And now I have even more awful, depressing news for you: Makarfi WILL WIN in August . This wretched, ignorant, dangerous Buhari and full time miscue is not going to be our next president again but President Makarfi! Go ahead and say the words, ‘cause you’ll be saying them for the next four years: "TO UNIFY NIGERIA AND CREATE A PEACEFUL SECURED ENVIRONMENT IS A NATIONAL PROJECT" -PRESIDENT MAKARFI. Never in my life have I wanted to be proven wrong more than I do right now. I can see what you’re doing right now. You’re shaking your head wildly – “No, VICTOR , this won’t happen!” Unfortunately, you are living in a bubble that comes with an adjoining echo chamber where you and your friends are convinced the Nigerian people are not going to elect an unpopular Man for President. You need to exit that bubble right now. You need to stop living in denial and face the truth which you know deep down is very, very real. Trying to soothe yourself with the facts – “67% of the electorate are youth & women, people of young adults under 40 and Makarfi will win a majority of of them!” – The Nigeria Youth Project (NYP) – “people aren’t going to vote for a failed administration of the APC against their own best interests!” – We can’t handle much more bad news from Barkin Ladi, Southern Kaduna, Zamfara, Birnin Gwari to Yola, Jalingo, Benue, Nasarawa and Nigeria Delta. So our mental state goes to default when something scary is actually, truly happening. The first priority of any administration is her people but we have seen how the people are abandoned for Love of Cows against Human Dignity. Nigerians are now saying our President seems to have lost control of his administrative truck, trying to tell us only by prayers we can be save. Well, folks, this isn’t an accident. It is happening. And if you believe there is any among the Presidential aspirant who has the capacity to beat a UNIFIER Per Excellent with facts and smarts and logic, then you obviously missed the past years he spent in Kaduna as governor who manages complicity and galvanized a people into one indivisible entity. As of today, as things stand now, PDP enjoys a formidable front built solidly by Sen Makarfi a true PDP General, the political Doctor of our generation,The People's Unifier. I believe this is going to happen, no aspirant will want to loose to nothing but surely something good like A Unifier – and in order to deal with it, I need the stakeholders to ensure that a man tested and trusted over times deserves 100% support for a RESCUE MISSION PART III... (KADUNA 1ST MISSION, PDP 2ND MISSION AND NOW NIGERIA 3RD ) We must first acknowledge it, and then maybe, just maybe, we can find a way out to harmonize all interests into 'The Unifier Rescue Mission' to avoid the mess we’re in. Don’t get me wrong. I have great hope for the country I live in. Things can only get better if PDP and others agree to send the Unifier on this very important mission. However, I need to assure you my humble friends that his mission shall address immediately the following: (1) The already Depressed Nigeria youth who are considered lazy by a government they practically brought to power. (2) He will fix the made depressed National Assembly, a constituency he shared affection . (3) Already hungry and depressed Nigerians whose hopes and aspirations are being killed daily. (4) A Country that desperately needs Unity, Peace and Security to guarantee Socioeconomic and Political Restructuring. (5) The restoration of our National Dignity and Cultural Values in the face of our International Business Relations. Sentiments aside, Makarfi deserves PDP's ticket for the Unifying Narratives and make great a responsible leader for all.
