Nigeria’s Rickety Opposition Parties

The other parties are running out of ideas on how to confront the party in power and continue to wallow in unending controversies.

Published

By New Telegraph

The emergence of a one-party state is imminent following the inability of opposition parties to honour themselves with capacity while the country continues to slide under the leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC). To be fair to the APC, there is no deliberate attempt to grow into a standing lone tree in the jungle.

The other parties are running out of ideas on how to confront the party in power and continue to wallow in unending controversies. The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was in power for 16 years until the APC swept them away with a broom in 2015. However, that broom, which appeared nine years ago, has been unable to sweep the polity clean.

The environment remains polluted with loans, hike in pump price of petroleum products and the corollary economic doom. While Nigeria continues to go under, PDP is undergoing mutual destruction.

Nyesom Wike is in the APC controlled government as Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister and in what sounds logically absurd, he controls both the APC and PDP in Rivers State. Wike may not be the only reason for PDP’s woes. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar led the way when he emerged as the party’s presidential candidate in the 2023 elections.

At the time Atiku surfaced, the chairman of the party was Iyorchia Ayu. Wike felt betrayed that the North produced the presidential candidate and at the same time held on to the chairmanship of the party.

It was even worse that Ifeanyi Okowa, who as governor of Delta State led other Southern governors to announce that the presidential ticket would not go to the North, ended up as Atiku’s running mate.

The Labour Party came out strong when Peter Obi sensed he would lose the PDP ticket and moved away. The ‘Obedients’ offered something new, away from bread and butter machinations. After tantalising voters, many party supporters blamed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for denying them the keys to Aso Villa. The story today is not sweet. The party has been factionalised and balkanised. The division began with Lamidi Apapa who declared himself chairman, in place of Julius Abure.Then came National Treasurer, Oluchi Opara, with damning allegations against Abure. Obi and Abia State Governor, Alex Otti, waded in as concerned stakeholders claiming that Abure’s tenure had expired.

There is every reason to believe that party politics has not delivered the country from the claws of maladministration.

They set up a 29-member Caretaker Committee headed by former Finance minister, Nenadi Usman. However, the battle is still not over. The New Nigerian Peoples Party (NNPP) is also troubled.

There is a factional chairman, Agbor Major, who does not believe in Rabiu Kwankwaso as ‘El Supremo’. The Party’s Secretary, Oginni Olaposi, dragged Kwankwaso to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) alleging misappropriation of party funds.

All these distractions are happening at a time inflation has sent many to suicide classes. More cases of suicide may come in the near future but the opposition parties do not just care.

Their eyes are on themselves instead of the APC-led Federal Government. States governed by the PDP are receiving less attention from their governors, chasing the shadows of Wike, the Frankenstein entity created by Atiku and Ayu.

Seven governors, Bala Mohammed (Bauchi), Godwin Obaseki (Edo), Duoye Diri (Bayelsa), Ademola Adeleke (Osun), Siminalayi Fubara (Rivers), Sheriff Oborevwori (Delta) and Umo Eno (Akwa Ibom) are frontally against the FCT minister.

PDP’s National Chairman, Iliya Damagum, believed to be close to Wike, has vowed to stay put even when the seven anti-Wike governors are bent on shoving him aside.

He has the backing of the quartet of Seyi Makinde (Oyo), Ahmadu Fintiri (Adamawa), Caleb Mutfwang (Plateau) and Agbu Kefas (Taraba). Governors Peter Mba and Dauda Lawal of Enugu and Zamfara states respectively are on the fence. Members of the opposition are best placed to fight the wrongs of the ruling party.

In the eyes of APC, the Labour Union sounds like the Labour Party, with charges of treason dangling on protesters or perceived unionists. The clampdown on all forms of body movements directed against Aso Villa has left the masses crying for redemption through a virile opposition. There are indications that the only party that can oppose the APC is the party in power.

In 1922, Herbert Macaulay and some of his friends, Egerton Shyngle, Adeniyi Jones and Karimu Kotun, floated the first political party in the country, the Nigeria National Democratic Power. A year later, Governor Hugh Clifford, was not convinced of the capability of Nigerians to rule themselves. This is 2024, nearly a hundred years later. There is every reason to believe that party politics has not delivered the country from the claws of maladministration. The difference between the ruling party and the opposition is like six and half a dozen.

Tinubu Refused To Honour Our Agreement To Release Nnamdi Kanu After Election– Kanu’s Brother

Disclosing that the meeting had the blessing of the president, Emmanuel, however, lamented that Tinubu has refused to honour the pact by releasing his elder brother and the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from the DSS dungeon in Abuja, Nigeria.

Emmanuel Kanu, younger brother of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has said they had an agreement with President Bola Tinubu for the release of his elder brother, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

Emmanuel disclosed that he had the pact with Tinubu’s son, Seyi, in Abuja before the 2023 presidential election.

Disclosing that the meeting had the blessing of the president, Emmanuel, however, lamented that Tinubu has refused to honour the pact by releasing his elder brother and the IPOB leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from the DSS dungeon in Abuja, Nigeria.

According to him, it was agreed that IPOB would not bycott the polls on the condition that Tinubu would release Kanu if elected President.

Prince Emmanuel expressed disappointment that nearly two years after the emergence of Tinubu as President, his brother (Kanu), has continued to languish in detention despite the fact that the presiding Judge, Justice Binta Nyako, had since recused herself from the matter.

He said it was disappointing that those who claimed to be honourable, failed to keep their words.

The statement read:”Before the last election, I received a message from an ex-governor that Seyi the son of President Tinubu wanted to see me. I agreed to meet with him on the condition that the overriding priority and hence the fulcrum of our discussion will be the release of my brother. The meeting was held in Abuja in the presence of another individual whom I asked along to witness the deliberations and if need be provide independent verification should the need arise.

“Seyi confirmed to me that his father sanctioned the meeting and that I should consider any agreement we reach as binding on the then candidate Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“In good faith we agreed that I shall relay the outcome to my brother to reinforce the long held tradition of IPOB not interfering with the conduct of elections, either through boycott or any other form of civil disobedience. This understanding was duly communicated to my brother and he reaffirmed his commitment not to stop the elections or order any boycott.

“When President Tinubu as a candidate visited Owerri during his campaign, he too reiterated his commitment to facilitate the release of my brother if elected. We took his public statement as a tacit reaffirmation of the understanding I reached with his son Seyi.

“At the end, IPOB did not call for election boycott despite having the capacity to do so. IPOB also made sure that discordant voices urging election boycott were overcome because election boycotts would not reflect well on the reputation of a global movement that prides itself on adherence to democratic tenets.

“It therefore, defies logic that nearly two years after President Tinubu assumed the mantle of leadership in Nigeria, my brother is still in detention despite not having any charge against him. It’s been over three months now that Justice Binta Nyako recused herself from the case yet no new judge has been assigned the case.

“This is on top of the fact that Appeal Court had earlier discharged him of the sham charges and ordered his release which the previous regime of Buhari declined to obey.

“Supreme Court determination that his bail ought not to have been revoked has been ignored by the courts and the government. The latest insult is that Abuja courts of all persuasion are no longer willing to determine the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu on merit but are rather relying on ludicrous and inapplicable technicalities to stall the timely determination of his cases.

“The truth is that Nigerian courts cannot, will not and do not have both the substantive and procedural jurisdiction to try him. His detention is without the backing of any known law in Nigeria or elsewhere in the world.”

US ELECTION: Trump Escapes Three Assassination Attempts, What Next As Date Draws Near?

“We seen them trying to get rid of D. Trump 3 times already. They all know who’s going to win. But now since he is still alive we will see overtly on a systematic level through this election where it will be obvious to everyone what they are willing to do to retain power.”

Published

The desperation of interested parties to retain power and occupy the Oval Office in the White House, United States of America, has led to three failed assassination attempts on the 45th US President, Donald John Trump.

Trump is the Republican Party’s Presidential nominee in the November 5th Presidential election, and adjudged as the 47th US President hopeful in the forthcoming election, if it will be free and fair by all standards and without interferences from the “Obamas” “Hillarys” “Deep State” etc.

The “fight” to retain power in the White House has become dirtiest from 2020 to 2024, a clear statement of extreme desperation leading to blackmail, chaos and possible escalations of assassination attempts.

A post made on X by “Ariel @Prolotario1” stated that “The Beast” will “become extremely desperate” because they know who will win the election if it will be a free and fair election.

The post reads in full:

“I hope everyone is ready for these remaining months up into inauguration. Because we will see “The Beast” become extremely desperate. They didn’t want to rely on attempting to steal the election.

“Will we get a power grid outage?

“Will we get another false flag?

“Will the Project Bluebeam be launched?

“There are multiple things they can pull from. But I do not think we will leave the remainder of 2024 behind without some massive event occurring? Since 1988 we have had something major happen every 12 years.

“1988 (Elusive Mind Wipe)

“1999 (Y2k)

“2012 (Mayan Calendar)

“2024? Will it be obvious this time?

“Either way we have had many clues that everything will happen this year in terms of things coming to a point where it can no longer be ignored. Which is why I think the Deep State will pull something off to jump start this process.

“Donald Trump said many times on his Truthsocial account that the US Military is standing by. One time he mentioned during his Las Vegas rally that they will step in if November 5th is interfered with. We have to prepare for anything.”

“What did Katt Williams say? It’s up for all of them.

“You all have had your fun. You have had your way. You have had your time in the sun. But now all of this is about to come to a screeching halt. You all are about to see many celebrities suddenly become ill. Retiring prematurely. Moving to another country. No longer being interested in acting. They are going to be dropped from endorsement deals.

“They will be let go by sports teams. You will no longer see them at award shows. You will no longer see them featured on songs or commercials. Clothing brands will ditch them. They will be removed from their charity foundations. You will see a lot of things. Because this is it people. This is what you waited for. We fought for this by sharing all the info we could. And our work is paying off.

“The victims will be vindicated. We will no longer be shunned by society. They will be forced to confront all the things they denied in order to stay in the good graces of people who couldn’t care less about “The Truth”. All the trolls are about to eat crow. Do not pay them any mind at this point. They have nothing to lose. So they will attempt to downplay the significance of this.

“These are blackpillers who no longer see no value in anything. They have given themselves a shot in the arm and that fluid is coursing through their veins and they themselves will have to go through a major detox that we are no longer equipped to help them with. It’s going to take God himself to come down here and awaken them. This is no our concern.

“The curtain is falling, not with a gentle whisper but with the thunderous crash of an era ending. The lights that once shone on these figures, illuminating their every move, are now flickering out, one by one, in a spectacle of dramatic dimness. This isn’t merely the end of a chapter; it’s the apocalyptic conclusion of a saga where fame was both the sword and the shield, now rusted and discarded.

“As the tide turns, those who once danced in the spotlight will find themselves in shadows, not by choice but by the inexorable force of revelation. Their names, once synonymous with glamour and success, will become whispers of caution, tales told in the dim corners where once their glory was celebrated. The red carpets, once rolled out in their honor, will be retracted, leaving behind only the echo of their steps.

“This shift is not just a change in the public’s affection; it’s a seismic cultural realignment. The idols of yesteryear, who seemed untouchable, are now facing the reality of their own human fragility. The public, once their adoring crowd, now becomes their jury, delivering a verdict that resonates with the weight of truth over the dazzle of stardom.

“In this new dawn, the narratives will rewrite themselves. The stories of courage will not be about overcoming adversity in the spotlight but about facing the aftermath in the cold light of day. Those who once thrived on the applause will learn the silence of solitude, not by choice but by necessity. The world watches, not with voyeuristic glee, but with a sober understanding that even the stars must sometimes fall to earth.
