We will call corruption by its name and fight it with the vehemence it deserves, its National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, pledged during a press briefing on Thursday. We will restore the faith of the public in thenecessity forleaders to live honestly and lead withvision,competence and compassion.

Chief Oyegun stated that the APC willcollaborate and cooperate with the states in the true practice of a federal relationship, running anall-inclusive government and seeking the views of all segments including thepositiveideas of opposition parties in the formulation and execution ofgovernment policies.

Two days ago, you heard PresidentGoodluckJonathan announce himself as the candidate of the PDP and asked Nigerians for another four years as President, he said.

You heard a lot of claims,misrepresentationsandvoodoostatistics, none of which can stand the barest scrutiny. Disregard them! You heard excuses for failure to fix basic infrastructure, arrest unprecedented levels of corruption and halt the march of terrorists daily inching nearer all of us. You heard promises that sound familiar because you have heard them all beforesince his six (6) years as President. Do not give the party that hassavagedNigeria in the last 16 yearsan opportunity to finally finish off our dear nation. The PDP cannot deliver on any of the same promises it has failed tohonourinover a decade and a half in power.

He pointed out that the 2015 election will be decided on the characterand leadership qualitiesof the Nigerian President, stressing that the Commander-in-Chief shouldalso beConsoler-in-Chiefwho brings comfort and succor to Nigerians in time of grief and distress.

You heard two days ago President Jonathan sayingthat good leaders do not walk away from the people, sadly though the statement is true, our President who wants another four years does not show evidence of sympathy for hundreds of thousands of our fellow citizens who are nowInternally Displaced Persons(IDP)as a result of the occupation of their land byBokoHaram. He brings no relief or comfort to those living under the reign of terror. About 50 young Nigerian School Children were killed and several others injuredinPotiskumjust a few days beforetheextravaganzashow of his declaration. Yet we do not hear of a Presidential visit to thefamilies of thevictims, a pattern that has become usual. Our President lives in his comfort zone, content toutterwords, and minutes of silencethat have no meaning tothevictims.

President Jonathan, he underlined, has abandonedthe Nigerian people, and the APC chairman called on Nigerians to end their journey with him andelect a leader in 2015 who will be part of their lives and lead with courage and empathy.

To that end, he appealed to all Nigerians toendeavourto collect their Permanent Voters Cards, and usethemto vote out the PDP and vote in the brighter, safer and more prosperous future, which the APC represents.

He also called on the electoral commission, the security agencies and other institutions of government to discharge their responsibilitiescourageously,fairly and firmly, stressing that their prime responsibility is to Nigeria.

APC slams Fayose, seven lawmakers over Speakers impeachment

The All Progressives Congress has raised the alarm over what it described as a Peoples Democratic Party-led and police-backed acts of impunity in Ekiti State, where it alleged seven of the 26-member House of Assembly on Monday convened to carry out an agenda of the government, including the impeachment of the Speaker.

In a statement in Abuja on Monday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the party said over 200 armed policemen were currently guarding the seven PDP members of the House, who convened purposely to impeach the Speaker, approve the list of commissioner-designates as well as the caretaker committees for the states local governments.

APC said, The issue of the Caretaker Committees, which Governor Ayodele Fayose plans to swear in on Monday after the illegal approval by the House, is sub judice; hence the House cannot even discuss it not to talk of acting on it. Also, while the Governor was advised by the Clerk of the House that seven members out of 26 do not form a quorum, he said after all, only eight of 24 members in the Plateau House of Assembly impeached then Governor Joshua Dariye in 2006.

The party added that ahead of what is clearly the height of impunity by a democratically-elected government, the utility services in the official residence of the House Speaker, including electricity supply, had been cut off while his salaries and allowances have been stopped.

The party states, Others acts of intimidation have been directed at the Speaker by the state authorities.

We know that President Goodluck Jonathan, who is the leader of the PDP, has elevated impunity to an art, but he has simply overreached himself with his partys latest show of shame in Ekiti. The fact that the Presidents body language supports impunity has emboldened officials elected under the banner of the PDP and appointed by his Administration to perpetrate acts of impunity with impunity.

Over 200 policemen could not have been deployed for this illegal act in Ekiti without the knowledge of the Inspector General of Police. Yet, the same IG trampled the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by assuming the powers of the court to unilaterally withdraw the security detail of House of Representatives Speaker, Aminu Tambuwal.

Can the IG claim not to be aware that his men are offering protection to only seven out of the 26 members of the Ekiti House of Assembly? Does he honestly believe it is part of the responsibility of the police, which is being funded by tax payers, to become the enforcement arm of the PDP? Does he believe that the police that is empowered to enforce the law should play a lead role in breaking it? the party queried.

It warned Fayose not to throw Ekiti State into a needless crisis by his trademark tomfoolery.
