PROGRESSIVE GOVERNORS' FORUM RALLIES SUPPORT FOR NEC MEETING AMIDST CRISIS


The Director-General of Progressives Governors' Forum, Mr Salihu Lukman, is calling on committed party members and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to rally behind President Muhammadu Buhari in support of the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting scheduled for Thursday in order to resolve the crisis rocking the party and chart a course for more peaceful relationship within the party.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Wednesday, Mr Lukman described the crisis rocking the party in the last few months as a show of indignity which requires drastic steps to arrest the situation.

In his words he said: “with all the confusion as to who is our residing officer, coupled with the fact that the most important structure that is saddled with the responsibility of convening meetings of all organs of the party is fractured and entangled in webs of legal cases, it is either the confusion is allowed to continue and eventually end with the demise of the party, or our leaders make concerted efforts to save the party”.

The statement added that in order to  demonstrate the irony of the kind of leaderless situation party members found themselves, they are being told that the constitution disqualifies a Deputy National Chairman from acting as National Chairman with reference to the section of the country he originated from.

A factional acting National Chairman o.f the party, Mr Victor Giadom had announced that with the support of President Buhari, a NEC meeting will hold on Thursday, June 25, 2020.

THE VULTURE IS TRULY A PATIENT BIRD

By: Agosu 'Tayo At this rate, we are back in the Stone age where power is equal to right, where impunity reign supreme, where human life is Brutish and short. An age where absolute power is truly corrupting absolutely. A state in human existence where the motto is "All man for himself and God for us all". Shameful to realize that the rule of Law we religiously proclaim isn't in force anywhere. Worrisome is the realization that government cannot address the agitations of the governed. It is a clear indication that we are yet to and probably may not advance in our system of governance. Jungle defines this place! Where is that civilization ? We have seen deliberations and dialogues on matters like this in "Organized" climes. This is a global let down this generation may not recover from even at this stage of our national existence. A lot of questions will never get answers. Generation to come will have so much puzzles to grapple with. Posterity will cast ...
