PDP, BEYOND WIKE, ATIKU – NINGI

Abdul Ningi, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), robustly defended the party’s integrity and organizational prowess.

Ningi addressed concerns following the PDP’s loss in the 2015 elections, asserting that the party remains the largest and most organized political force in the continent.

Ningi emphasized that despite setbacks, including high-profile defections and electoral defeats, the PDP’s foundational strength and adherence to its constitutional rules remain unshaken.

“Just because we lost an election in 2015 does not mean that the party will vanish,” he stated.

“Anyone attempting to undermine the party will face resistance. We will address issues according to the rules and our party’s constitution, not through any personal vendettas.”

According to him, “This is a political party that has been the biggest political party in the face of the continent and the most organized political party. Just because we lost an election in 2015 does not mean that the party will vanish.

However, anybody that tries to bring down the party into banishment, we will resist him. We’re not going to pee anybody, but we’re going to sort out things our way, according to the rules of the game and according to the Constitution of the party.”

“What we know is that this party is beyond individuals personalizing it as their own property. This party is beyond the issue of Wike, beyond the issue of Atiku.

This party at a time produced a president that left. I was not saying anything about the party. Obasanjo left the party after being the president for eight years.

Jonathan followed. He was neither here nor there for a very long time. So, also, the former president of the Senate left. The former vice president also left. Several governors left. But at the end of the day, they went and found out that the best-organized party is, of course, the PDP.”

    TINUBU’S GOVT, A CAPTURED STATE – PETER OBI

    TINUBU’S GOVT A “CAPTURED STATE” – PETER OBI National leader of the Labour Party (LP), Peter Obi has described democracy under the leadership of President Bola Tinubu as a “captured state”. Obi disclosed this on Monday in a post to commemorate this year’s International Democracy Day. As we join the global community to commemorate International Democracy Day today, we remind ourselves, as a nation, of the need to uphold the tenets of democracy. These include free speech, observance of civil liberties and the rule of law. It also includes the upholding of the ideals of democracy that are embedded in ensuring accountable institutions and the protection and promotion of human rights. Democracy in Nigeria has continued to suffer untold setbacks, heavily burdened by leadership failure which has brought about uncontrolled systemic corruption, high levels of insecurity, lack of freedom of speech, increasing poverty and unprecedented levels of hunger and hardship, These problems have not only remained unsolved but are growing geometrically. The democratic ideals of the nation have, sadly, continued to erode with time, and today, we can be classified as a captured state where the citizens have continued to suffer untold hardship, deprivation and insecurity while the political leadership feasts on state resources . In every measurement of true democracy, we have continued to rank low and perform badly, signalling a critical deficiency in our democratic system. With a democracy index score of 4.23, Nigeria ranks low on the Global Democracy Index, and in other indices of democracy. In the Corruption Perception Index, we are ranked 145th among the 180 countries measured, showing a high level of corruption in Nigeria. In Rule of Law Measurement, we are ranked 120 out of 142 countries measured in the World Justice Project (WJP) Rule of Law Index, showing that Nigeria suffers from gross disobedience to the rule of law. The 2024 World Press Freedom Index by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) described Nigeria as one of West Africa’s most dangerous and difficult countries for journalists. Freedom of speech is grossly suppressed and citizens are gagged from expressing their civic rights. On a day like this, may we pause and examine our democratic journey as a nation and strive to build our nation on the solid rock of true democracy where every Nigerian is given a voice and a fair hearing, irrespective of tribe, religion or political affiliation. This remains our commitment to the New Nigeria, and it is POssible. -PO
