PDP has gone from grace to grass -Kwankwaso

Kano State Governor and All Progressives Congress presidential aspirant, Rabiu Kwankwaso, on Sunday said the emergence of President Goodluck Jonathan as the sole candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for the 2015 presidential poll shows that the ruling party has gone from grace to grass.

Kwankwaso spoke to journalists in Enugu shortly after meeting with the partys national delegates at the state party secretariat.

The presidential aspirant was responding to questions over the inability of the APC to present a consensus candidate for the presidential election.

He said there was nothing wrong with the APC having multiple presidential aspirants, and described the situation as a positive development.

Noting that some parties have no presidential candidate, Kwankwaso said, A party like APC should have as many presidential aspirants as possible.

PDP has gone from grace to grass now that they have only one candidate that shows that PDP has gone down.

Pointing out that the PDP had, over the years, always recorded several aspirants at its presidential primaries, the governor argued that the absence of any challenge to Jonathans candidacy means that times have changed for the party.

He went ahead to restate his earlier claim that it would be easy to defeat Jonathan.

Jonathan has no capacity to rule the state his government has failed, that is why there is a high level of insecurity and corruption.

All these are as a result of poor leadership.

Boko Haram working for Satan, not God -Tinubu

A national leader of the All Progressives Congress and former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, says the attack on a mosque in Kano last Friday, which left over 100 worshippers dead, has shown that Boko Haram is not doing Gods work.

Tinubu said rather, the sect was doing the bidding of Satan.

The former governor said this in a statement on Sunday.

He said, Attacks against numerous locations in the northeast demonstrate how heinous and debased Boko Haram and those who sponsor it have become. So depraved, they have become heartless and filled with enmity against all that is good and proper.

This was not the act of human beings. These attacks could only have come from the hands of those who do not know God or serve God. This is the act of godless people.The hand of evil, deploying those who have given their selves over to wickedness, committed this terrible thing.

No reason can be found for what was done except that BH has once again shown its lust for innocent blood and its disdain for life peacefully lived. Boko Haram killed people praying to God because the god of Boko Haram is Satan himself.

The former governor said he was confident that Nigeria would overcome terrorism as evil could never overcome good.

He, however, said this was the time for all Nigerians, regardless of religion, to unite as this was the only way they could defeat the terrorists.

Boko Haram seeks to scare and intimidate Christians and Muslims alike through wanton destruction. They may attack us but never shall this evil force subdue us. Christians and Muslims must stand arm-in-arm to face this terrorist onslaught, he said.

APC Presidential aspirants to sign undertaking

The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Chief John Oyegun, has said that all aspirants seeking the partys presidential ticket would have to sign an undertaking during screening.

He said the undertaking was necessary so as to enable the aspirants to faithfully implement the partys manifestoes from the day they assumed office.

Oyegun spoke on Friday while receiving the completed presidential expression of interest and nomination forms from the Kano State Governor, Dr. Rabiu Kwankwaso, at the APC headquarters in Abuja.

The APC National Chairman, however, urged Kwankwaso not to lose sight of the enormous challenges ahead of the party.

He said, Now we are faced with real economic crisis to add to it all. The APC is going to provide this nation with a steady hand, an experienced hand, a competent hand.

Our prayer is for those of you who have indicated interest in this very onerous responsibility, because what you are going to take over from the Peoples Democratic Party, is a nation that is virtually pulled to pieces in every aspect of human life.

Oyegun expressed confidence that the partys manifestoes, which he described as people-oriented, would improve the living standard of Nigerians, if carefully and faithfully implemented.

Earlier, Kwankwaso promised to return smiles to the face of Nigerians if elected President next year.

Meanwhile, a fresh crisis is looming in the APC over alleged plan by the partys leadership to give automatic tickets to serving loyal legislators.

The arrangement, it was learnt, was to reduce tension as well as strengthen loyalty among the partys members especially in the National Assembly.
