Jonathan and Buhari

The Presidential campaign of the All Progressives Congress and its Peoples Democratic Party counterpart on Monday clashed over the refusal of the former to honour an invitation to hold a live debate on national issues.

According to the APC presidential campaign, its candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was turning down an invitation to hold a debate with President Goodluck Jonathan because there were more serious campaign issues.

The APC campaign explained that its candidate was commencing a series of town hall meetings across the nation as part of his deliberate strategy of campaign ahead of the February 14 presidential election.

This was contained in a statement signed by the APC presidential campaign Director of the Media, Garba Shehu.

He explained that Buhari and his running mate, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo would interact and explain directly to citizens the policy thrust of their envisaged administration and how the set objectives would be achieved.

The statement said the town hall meetings which started in Lagos on Monday, with a robust interaction between Buhari/Osibanjo and the Organised Private Sector would be taken to other parts of the nation.

According to him, the party is compelled to chart this course because of the compelling need to have person-to-person interactive sessions during which pertinent questions will be posed to the candidates and responses provided.

In response, the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation said it condemned the contempt with which the APC presidential candidate had held Nigerians with his consistent refusal to participate in live television debates with President Goodluck Jonathan.

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has urged the people of the state not to vote for the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, saying he is being controlled by the states PDP leader, Chief Bode George, and a former Minister of Works, Senator Adeseye Ogunlewe.

The PDP had, last week, accused the APC governorship candidate, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, of being a puppet of former Governor Bola Tinubu.

However, the APC in a statement titled, Lagos will never become Bode George and Ogunlewes feeding bottle, the Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, said if Agbaje was voted into office, he would hand over the resources of the state to George and Ogunlewe.

Igbokwe said the PDP would rundown Lagos State just as it had run down the Federal Government.

The APC said Agbaje was imposed on other PDP aspirants by George and Ogunlewe at the governorship primary as part of their plans to take control of the running of the state.

The statement read, It is a well known fact that Agbaje is a stooge and puppet to the duo of Olabode George and Adeseye Ogunlewe, two politicians that are best remembered for the despoliation that trailed their feel of political office in the ant-infested PDP governance of Nigeria in the past 16 years.

Even in its most desperate state, PDP in Lagos, Agbaje and his godfathers will never argue the well known fact that Lagos remains the most viable state in a Nigeria where the myth of oil is dying and states have to live on what they have invested in building an independent economy that will drive its survival.

In contrast, the Nigeria Jimi Agbaje and his PDP want to import to Lagos is one where hundreds of trillions of naira have been earned in 16 years yet there is no electricity, no jobs, all infrastructures are decayed, where corruption walks on all fours, where insecurity of lives and properties have become the order of the day

Lagosians will never exchange competent, judicious and sure-footed governance that have given Lagos its enviable status as the last hope of a collapsing Nigerian economy for a puppet of two grudging godfathers. Lagos will never ever regress to become the feeding bottle for Olabode George.

The All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State has urged Local Government workers to demand for their entitlements and salaries from Governor Ayodele Fayose.

The party said the bogus debt figures the Governor was reeling out to council workers were fabrications to create alibi for failure to pay their salaries and entitlements.

TheAPC Publicity Secretary, Taiwo Olatubosun,challenged the governor to defend allegations that he orderedeach of the local governments to deposit N750,000 every month in an alleged secret Sterling Bank account in which he (Fayose) is alleged to be the sole signatory.

Olatunbosun said, APC is aware of the marble supply contract worth N100m to upgrade the new Government House the governor had earlier declared as too costly.

The governor has not responded to the allegation that he sold 20 of President Goodluck Jonathans campaign buses in his care to Ekiti State and donated 19 of them to the police which he listed as one of his achievements in 100 days.

APC is also aware that a contract of N23m for the decoration of each of the 16 local governments headquarters across the state during Christmas was allegedly given to the governors brother.

This is different from the deduction of N26m from the Local Government Joint Account without the concurrence of the council chairmen for security even when the security vote for the governors personal security has doubled but refused to fund all security agencies to secure Ekiti people from criminals.

We must insist that Fayose should account for all these funds instead of creating the impression that Ekiti State is permanently broke. He cannot sacrifice Ekiti people because he wants to pay the debts he owed those who financed his election, Olatubosun added.

Ekiti State Governor Ayodele Fayose

The All Progressives Congress candidate for Ekiti Central Senatorial District, Ambassador Gbenga Olofin, has described the clampdown on opposition by Governor Ayodele Fayose as a threat to the 2015 general elections.

In a statement made on Sunday in Ado Ekiti, Olofin said the desperation of Fayose to rig in all his imposed candidates during the elections would be resisted by the people.

Four cabinet members in the administration of a former Governor Kayode Fayemi were arrested on Friday by the governments Assets Recovery Task Force for allegedly withholding government official cars.

Those arrested were Biodun Akin-Fasae, Ayodele Jinadu, Oluwole Ariyo and Dr. Bayo Orire.

The Commissioner of Police, Taiwo Lakanu, however, invited them to a meeting on that day, where he explained that the police had no hand in their arrest.

I only intervened by calling them for a meeting and advised them on the issue, because if not well handled, it could heat up the polity. All I want is an amicable settlement, Lakanu had told our correspondent.

The APC had described their arrest and forceful confiscation of their official cars over non-payment of the cost as a ploy by Fayose to take its leaders out of circulation ahead of the February 14 presidential election.

Olofin said it was worrisome that the governor was supervising attacks on innocent Ekiti people because of politics, tearing and destruction of posters and billboards across the state in the day light.

Everybody is now sleeping with one eye being closed in the state because of the fear of unknown and the security across the state has been deteriorating because the action of the governor has heated up the polity.
