Buhari, Osinbajo, Saraki, governors meet inside Aso Rock

PRESIDENT Muhammadu Buhari, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo and President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, on Thursday, met behind closed doors inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Some state governors elected on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress also joined the meeting held inside the President’s office.

The governors included Katsina State Governor, Aminu Masari; Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari; Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu; and Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun.

Ekiti State Governor-elect, Kayode Fayemi, also attended.

The agenda of the meeting was not made public.

Saraki declined to comment when State House correspondents approached him after the meeting that lasted about 30 minutes.

The Presidency has yet to issue a press statement on the meeting as of the time of filing this report.

Fayemi, however, gave an indication that those who attended the meeting were in the Presidential Villa to rejoice with the President on the party’s victory in the July 14 Ekiti State governorship election.

The elated governor-elect boasted that the ruling party would repeat the Ekiti feat in Osun State.

The governorship election in Osun State will hold in September.

A source at the Presidential Villa who was privy to the discussions at the meeting informed one of our correspondents that Buhari expressed his readiness to meet with the aggrieved APC leaders as part of the reconciliatory efforts to prevent the imminent exodus of members from the party.

The source disclosed that several governors and leaders of the party had been meeting with Saraki since Monday.

“On Wednesday night, close to midnight, some APC governors met with Saraki at his Abuja home. The governors included Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State and Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State. Meanwhile, (the National Chairman of the APC, Adams) Oshiomhole was at his home on Monday. The governors who met with him on Wednesday night listened to his grievances and were shocked with the revelations, forcing them to go to the President to brief him on their findings. They urged him that very urgently and importantly, he needed to meet Saraki. That was why today’s (Thursday) meeting was called.”

Asked what was the conclusion reached at the meeting, the source said, “There was no conclusion other than the fact that the President called for more meetings and engagements; that the President will also meet with (Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu) Dogara; that the governors will meet with other aggrieved leaders individually. The President urged the governors to continue to brief him on the outcome of every of such meetings, to let him know at what point they need him to intervene. There will still be meetings, there is no conclusion yet.”

The source added, “Recall that some of those close to the President told journalists that he would not meet with aggrieved APC leaders; that those who wanted to leave the party should go. Now the President has been forced to hold meetings with them.”

No imposition of candidates, all primaries to be conducted for the best out of all aspirants to emerge the party flag bearer - Delta PDP

3rd July, 2018

PRESS RELEASE

WE WILL CONDUCT FREE, FAIR, CREDIBLE PRIMARIES FOR ALL POSITIONS - DELTA PDP

The Delta State PDP wishes to use this medium to once again stress categorically and reassure all substantive and intending aspirants, that the party will conduct free, fair, credible, transparent and acceptable primary elections for all elective positions for the 2019 general elections, under the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party.

The stand of the party to conduct free, fair and credible primary elections, that will produce candidates for the 2019 general elections, in the different political positions on the platform of the PDP,  is in tandem with the pronouncements of our party leadership headed by the dynamic and indefatigable National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus and indeed our cerebral and progressive Delta State PDP leader, His Excellency, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, (Ekwueme), the Executive Governor of Delta State, who himself was a product of free, fair, credible and transparent governorship primary, in 2014.

We recall with clear emphasis that His Excellency, Governor Ifeanyi Arthur Okowa, has stated unequivocally and made it a clarion mantra, sounding it loud and clear to every party member in all our party gatherings and activities, that the conduct of free, fair, credible and transparent primaries to elect candidates for the party ahead of the 2019 general elections, is non negotiable, incontestable and will be enforced to the letter, using the party instruments and constitution to implement it to the fullest, for all positions including the governorship ticket.

In fact, true to his well deserved title "Ekwueme" Governor Okowa has willingly and in the true spirit of internal party democracy, made himself a shinning example of the party's position on free, fair and credible primaries, by stating unequivocally that he will subject himself to the PDP governorship primary election, against other qualified aspirants.

This exemplary attitude of the Governor and our party leader, should not only be seen as reassuring to all intending and identified aspirants, but should also serve as a clear statement that there will be no manipulation of results or imposition of any candidate on any position, once the primaries are concluded and certified to be free and fair, but most importantly, that there will be no automatic ticket for anybody or manifestations of imposition in the process as the party will elect only the best and most credible candidates to proudly fly the PDP flag in all positions in 2019. If Governor Okowa is ready and willing to subject himself to primaries, then all party aspirants should follow his example and be rest assured that the process will be free, fair and credible.

We want to reiterate once again that the power of the people to choose their candidates is a supreme power that nobody should toy with and we strongly advise all those who have the intention to contest for the party's primaries to consult with the people, concentrate on issues-based campaigns, shun the use of abusive language and traverse the nooks and crannies of their Units, Wards, Local Governments and the entire State according to the demands of their desired positions.

The Delta PDP wish to reassure all and sundry that we all have the right to aspire for any political positions of our choice, irrespective of an already existing incumbency in such a position, but we make haste to caution that we should conduct ourselves in honourable and decent ways in our consultations and campaigns.

We appeal to all aspirants not to malign others so that we do not destroy ourselves before the elections. There will still be life after the primaries and we need all hands on deck and pulling together in the same direction for the main election, which is our ultimate prize. But we are going to have free and fair primaries and that is a "fait accompli"

We therefore urge all loyal, dedicated, honest and committed party men and women, leaders at all levels, as well as all aspirants and their supporters, to work with us to achieve this uncompromising objective. We must all be committed in word and deed in building our party and it is important to sound it loud and clear, as we enter the serious campaign period, that the party is more important than any individual. The party is Supreme.

We have the utmost respect and reverence for our party leaders and elders and we are very grateful for the support, guidance and credibility they have continued to give to the party over the years. But let us state once again that there will be no automatic ticket for anybody and there will be no imposition in our selection process.

We will follow all laid down rules of due process and best practices, as defined by our constitution, to elect our candidates, through free, fair, credible, transparent and acceptable primaries, for the 2019 general elections.

Long live PDP

God Bless Delta State.

Dr. Ifeanyi Michael Osuoza
State Publicity Secretary
