APC Disowns Letter Suspending Ex-Gov Okorocha

The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has distanced itself from a letter dated July 12, 2021, purportedly suspending the erstwhile governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, as the party crisis in the South-East state rages on.

I won’t Leave PDP for APC, Diri Declares

Bayelsa Governor Douye Diri has rejected the reported overtures by the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state for him to dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). He declared his total commitment to the PDP, saying he is going nowhere. He said though he appreciated the APC for acknowledging that his administration is performing in Bayelsa in terms of development and good governance, the call for him to dump PDP is unfortunate, provoking and unwelcome. A former Deputy Governor, Chief Peremobowei Ebebi, had at the weekend, during stakeholders meeting of the APC in Ekeremor Local Government Area, called on Diri to take cue from other PDP governors and dump the party which he described as a “sinking ship”. But Diri, through his Director General, New Media, Mr. Kola Oredipe, de...

Buhari, APC Rode to Power Through Fake News, Falsehood – PDP Says as it Fires Back

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has fired back at the ruling All Progressives Congress and President Muhammadu Buhari, alleging that the president and his party “came to power by means of fake news, lies, falsehood, fake promises, deceit, beguilements, and negative innuendos, a scope they have widened and deepened in the last six years.” The opposition party governors’ forum in a communique issued on Monday, berated Buhari’s administration over its actions. “The mere ego of Mr President is not enough for such a drastic action that deprives millions of Nigerians of such an affordable means of expression and communication. We hope that this is not a harbinger or early warning signs of descent into dictatorship,” the PDP governors had said. Reacting in a statement on Wednesday, Ga...
