You are Here

Let me begin by saying that in the contest that has just been concluded for the national leadership of our great Party, the Peoples Democratic Party, we are all winners. There are no losers. 

There are no losers because even at a time of great national distress and travails such as we are passing through now, the PDP has through the series of Ward, Local Government, State, Zonal Congresses and this Convention demonstrated magnanimity, generosity of spirit, oneness and that it can overcome its problems. We have posted, a clear, loud and bold statement that the future of our country as a democracy is bright; that our differences can be dissolved into a block of solidarity under the banner of freedom and that all can be protected under the umbrella, our Party’s Emblem.

Buhari Should Spare The Nation His Thirst for Blood 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) finds it very disturbing that General Muhammadu Buhari, former Head of State and presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) is once again inciting people to take the law into their hands; inciting Nigerians to slaughter fellow Nigerians as he did sequel to the 2011 general elections. 

Gentlemen, we need to remind ourselves that on April 21, 2012, Buhari was reported in the media as predicting a bloody revolution in 2015. The  reports in the national dailies today quoting the same retired General as repeating that blood will flow in 2015 is another build-up to Buhari's relish of funeral train. 

While PDP cherishes freedom of speech, assembly and association as the custodian of Nigeria's democracy, we at that same time know that such freedom goes with immense responsibilities. We condemn in no uncertain terms this shameful call for the spill of blood of innocent Nigerians to acquire political power.

2. It gives me great pleasure to be here to launch 50 Toyota Hiace Buses purchased by Niger State Government under the Federal Government Public Mass Transit Scheme, in collaboration with Urban Development Bank (UDB). My pleasure is especially heightened because the scheme has a direct impact on the socio-economic well being of the people of Niger State, and coming only a few weeks after our inauguration for a second term in the service of Nigerlites makes this occasion even more worthwhile.
