No distraction can stop Tinubu – APC Chairmen
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, North-Central Chairmen Forum, Mr Sunday Fagbemi, has said that no distractions can stop President Bola Tinubu’s administration’s transformative policy.
Fagbemi, who is also the Chairman of Kwara APC, made this known on Thursday in Abuja while speaking with newsmen at the APC national secretariat.
He led the party’s state chairmen from the North-Central for a condolence visit on its National Chairman, Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda, who recently lost his mother.
Yilwatda’s mother died on August 17 at the age of 83 at the Jos University Teaching Hospital.
Fagbemi said that the Tinubu Administration’s agenda is hinged on the core pillars of democracy, development, demographics, and diaspora engagement.
He said the party’s state chairmen were committed to ensuring the delivery of the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ which according to him, was beginning to yield positive results.
“By the grace of God, we have seen some progress and development, we have seen President Tinubu weathering the storm.
“We cannot do it alone because Rome was not build in a day, even the opposition have attested that four years is not enough to fix the scattered and tattered ship.
“So he has done a lot and enough in terms of economic recovery, and we can all attest that food stuff prices are going down daily because of the diversification.
“We really can’t achieve much in four years like the opposition parties had confessed, but a lot had been achieved in the areas of the economy and infrastructure development,” Fagbemi said.
He added that the party’s state chairmen does not want to be distracted in anyway ahead of 2027 general election, but to remain focused on delivering the Renewed Hope Agenda.
Also speaking, Dr Aliyu Bello, the APC Chairman in Nassarawa State, appealed to Nigerians to continue to support the Tinubu-led administration to enable it do more for the country and its citizens.
Martin Amaewhule, Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, has defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Tori News reports Amaewhule defected along with 15 other members of the House on Friday.
Amaewhule said the defection is due to clear division in the PDP.
Recall that President Bola Tinubu declared a state of emergency in the state earlier this year in March, suspending the Governor, Sim Fubara and his Deputy alongside members of the State Assembly.
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Bode George, has intensified his call for the establishment of state police to contain the wave of insecurity in Nigeria.
George made this call on Friday when he appeared during an interview on Arise Television monitored by Ekwutosblog.
He was reacting to the worsening insecurity situation in the country where innocent Nigerians, including women and schoolchildren are kidnapped and others killed in the process.
“First of all, what is wrong with establishing state police? We have seen nobody is going to cancel the Federal Police, but policing is local.
“When you now turn the boys who live in the same area and legalize their existence to put smiles on the faces of the people, it will be better to manage because they will understand the language of the locals. They know the do’s and don’ts in their own area. So why are we wasting time?
“I am happy I read something last week after the Arewa Consultative meeting in the North. They met and took a decision that they have agreed to a state police.
“Then the Southwest met with their governors, and the governors’ statement made after that conference is that they also accept having state police.
“What are we wasting time for? Because the way it is, you don’t even know who is telling the truth or who is telling the lie,” he said.
Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Friday declared that he’s still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Wike’s comment followed his expulsion from the party by the faction led by National Chairman, Kabiru Turaki.
Turaki had formally dispatched expulsion certificates to 11 prominent party chieftains, including Wike, former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Umaru Bature, Kamarudeen Ajibade, SAN, Abdurahman Muhammad Senator Mao Ohuabunwa.
He said their expulsion was aimed at sanitising the party ahead of the 2027 elections.
Reacting to the development on Friday, Wike dismissed the claim while assuring that he would continue to work with other party members in making PDP a relevant opposition party.
The minister spoke while addressing journalists after inspecting the Interchange bridge and road linking Gwarinpa with Jahi and direct to Katampe, Gishiri and Maitama.
He said, “Those that are factionalized are bound to leave the party, I’m still in PDP and you can see that not everybody has left.
“We still have good numbers and we will continue to work together and that’s what I have said to the party. Put your house in order because at the end of the day, if you don’t put your house in order, it’s the party that is losing.
“So those who are worried, we can work together to see how the party can remain a relevant opposition.”
