Obama-linked US firm behind APC campaigns Party

A United States-based political strategy firm, AKPD Message and Media, engaged by the opposition All Progressives Congress to improve its electoral fortunes, is still active.

It was gathered in Abuja on Friday that the Chicago-based firm has been behind several of the partys campaign messages and strategy.

The firm is best known for its leading role in President Barack Obamas presidential campaigns in 2008 and 2012.

Comments:

Somtochuwu: My man! This is why I respect you. Meanwhile, are you sure this their USA connection is not responsible for the trumped up figure of 2000 deaths in small community Baga? They may also be responsible for the entire recent international bad image being created of our dear nation.

I am not saying that Jonathans mistakes should be hidden or encouraged, but a sitting President wiped out an entire village in Nigeria, killing over 2,700 people including women and children, and no one heard it on CNN. But when terrorists abducted 230 girls the whole world caught fire. If this is true, APC must learn that painting Nigeria bad internationally has its negative effects that will haunt even the next administration. I suspect this is USA connection.

Ali Abdulkadir: Stop being economical with the truth. If, as alleged by you, 2,700 could be killed in Odi, why are you in doubt that BH killed 2000 in Baga? Is Odi more populated than Baga? The answer is NO. CNN showed satellite photos and everyone agrees that the extent of destruction in Baga is unprecedented. Also, the number of our girls kidnapped by BH was 276, excluding 53 who escaped. APC is not issuing news different from what is being circulated already by reputable news media. And finally, suspicion cannot be conviction. So get a life and join the progressives to help kick out incompetence from our polity.

Kay Soyemi (Esq): Somtochuckwu, I will not try and hold brief for either party because, in war, peace is the first casualty. Whether it is 150 or 2000 Nigerians, it is Nigerian blood for me. I know from looking at the satellite images of the devastation, that the death toll is almost certainly higher than 150. Further, the NA is infamous for downplaying casualty figures.

Governor Mukhtar Yero of Kaduna State

The All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Kaduna State, Malam Nasir el-Rufai, on Sunday condemned recent provocative statement and threat to life credited to the state Governor, Mukhtar Yero.

El-Rufai, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, through his Special Assistance on Media and Publicity, Samuel Aruwan, said he was shocked at the governors pronouncement, urging his supporters to physically challenge and confront supporters of the main opposition party in the state.

But the governor in a Hausa phone-in programme of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, monitored in Kaduna, denied ever calling on his supporters to engage in violent confrontation that might lead to the breakdown of law and order in the state.

The governor, however, said he only asked his supporters to defend themselves in the face of threat to their lives and property.

Yero had decried the situation whereby the PDP supporters were always threatened and intimidated.

The governor had said, Our party members were intimidated, those who openly supported us were threatened, that they were coming to burn their houses, leadership should not be so. We strongly oppose intimidation and politics of violence.

However, El-Rufai argued that the governor had at the formal launch of his campaign asked his supporters to physically challenge and confront the APC supporters.

The former minister said,He plainly encouraged his supporters to be violent, vowing that anyone born of a woman who dares us we will use all the powers and force at our disposal to crush him.

Yero followed up this incitement to violence and anarchy by making wild allegations about Malam Nasir el-Rufai and threatened Malam El-Rufai.

Abeokuta The Ogun Central candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Lanre Tejuoso, has supported the resolution of the House of Representatives directing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to allow eligible Nigerians with temporary voter cards to vote in next month's elections.

Tejuoso, who spoke in Abeokuta on Wednesday during a visit to the palace of Osile of Oke-Ona Egba, Oba Adedapo Tejuoso, stressed that the use of temporary voter cards, alongside the Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) would allow Nigerians to exercise their franchise.

This is even as Oba Tejuoso endorsed the candidature of Tejuoso for the Ogun Central Senatorial District, while also supporting the position of Reps on the use of temporary voter cards.

The politician emphasised that this became necessary in view of the fact that many Nigerians were unable to get their PVCs and expressed concerns that many may be disenfranchised if the commission insisted on PVCs for the elections.

"I am disappointed with the way INEC is going about the distribution of Permanent Voter Cards. Taking Ogun State as an example, the people of the state, especially the rural dwellers, are complaining bitterly about the shoddy way the INEC is handling the exercise.

"Even civil servants in the state are lamenting because a day the state government gave them for the collection of the PVCs is not enough; our people need more time to acquire the card. So I want to support the stance of the House of Reps on the issue.

"It is six weeks to the election and millions of registered voters are yet to collect their PVCs. INEC should allow those who have permanent voter cards to vote and those who have temporary voter cards should also be allowed to vote. This will ensure that no registered voter is disenfranchised."

Speaking on the performance of President Goodluck Jonathan since he assumed office, Tejuoso said the President has done his best but that his best was not good enough to take Nigeria to the desired place.

He, therefore, implored Jonathan to quit the stage for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, who he said would change Nigeria for better.

Jimi Agbaje

The Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress has berated the Peoples Democratic Party governorship candidate, Mr. Jimi Agbaje, for promising to scrap the Lekki-Epe tollgate if he emerges as governor next month.

The APC in a statement by its Publicity Secretary, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, said the promise was either naive or a blatant lie to con Lagosians into voting for him.

It said at a time when oil prices were dropping and Federal Government allocations to states had reduced, it would be unwise for Lagos, which currently has the highest Internally Generated Revenue in the country, to begin to lose resources.

The APC said Agbajes promise was hypocritical as the PDP-led Federal Government, which is working on a Second Niger Bridge, plans to collect tolls on the bridge for 25 years.

It said the federal Airport Road, which is in shambles, also had a tollgate and wondered why Agbaje was bothering himself with the Lekki-Epe Expressway.

The APC said it was funny that Agbaje could criticise the state government for the manner it had embarked on the construction of the Lekki-Epe Expressway when the Federal Government had neglected all its roads in Lagos, including the Lagos-Ikorodu Road and the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, which are being constructed by the state government.

The statement read, Lagosians are aware that the dilapidated Airport Road, which the PDP-led Federal Government has abandoned while playing politics with completed world-class roads in Lagos, has a tollgate and we wonder why Agbaje and Lagos PDP have not promised Lagosians that their assumed government will not only stop toll collection on the road but will build it in the unlikely event that they control the government of Lagos State.

Lagos APC notes that out of frustration from the criminal negligence the PDP Federal Government has meted out to federal roads in Lagos for the past 16 years, the Lagos State Government has undertaken the reconstruction of many federal roads in Lagos and is currently delivering world-class reconstruction of such roads like the Lagos- Ikorodu Road and the Lagos- Badagry Expressway which serves as a gateway to the country but which had been completely abandoned by the PDP Federal Government.

But we find it alarming that someone that dreams of governing Lagos is issuing such economically disastrous threats to foreign investors in a state like Lagos when the Federal Government, under the control of his party, has made the sing-song of attracting elusive foreign investment the epicentre of its failed economic programme for the past 16 years.
