PDP REJECTS JUDGMENT OF KOGI HIGH COURT ON GOVERNORSHIP PRIMARY.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE

-
Image
       March 1, 2020 Press Conference The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) completely rejects the judgment of the Kogi State High Court, which unlawfully voided our validly conducted primary for the Kogi State Governorship election. The judgment is a classical example of judicial rascality and scandalous travesty of justice which cannot stand, and for which our party will stop at nothing in exploring all legal avenues to immediately set it aside at the appellate courts. The PDP holds that the judgment has heavily detracted from the integrity of the Kogi High Court, threatens the reputation of the entire institution of the judiciary if not immediately quashed. It is completely unimaginable that a court of law will allow itself to be railroaded into a voyage to the void, to the extend that it stood the law on its head by importing and pronouncing reliefs on matters that were not before it or even pleaded by any of the parties; to wit, a declaration on the validity of PDP Kogi s

     March 1, 2020 Press Statement   The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is worried at President Muhammadu Buhari’s delay in standing up to the responsibilities of his office to address heightening national anxieties since the detection of the deadly COVID-19 in our country. The party described as absolute leadership failure that Mr. President has not considered it imperative to show concern by directly addressing a panic-stricken nation even in the face of escalated national trepidations and conflicting reports. The PDP charges President Buhari to wake up and treat the COVID-19, deservedly, as a looming national disaster, which requires a prompt and full Presidential involvement at the top level. The party notes that at a critical time like this, Mr. President ought to be at the forefront in shouldering responsibility. A Presidential address would have reassured the people, reinforced government direction and multi-sectoral intervention for concerted effort to contain the

     President Muhammadu Buhari notes with sadness, the recent confirmation of a case of Covid-19 infection in Lagos, Nigeria. This was despite the ardent efforts of the government regarding preparedness and response measures put in place in our country's borders and beyond.

CORONAVIRUS: NO ONE ESCAPED FROM ISOLATION CENTER-OGSG.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

      Our attention has been brought to the fake news making rounds on the social media that the taxi driver of the index case of coronavirus patient in the country has escaped. Everyone that had any link with the Italian victim of the dreaded virus since he arrived the country has been quarantined. The others, who these primary contacts also had interactions with are equally being monitored. The fake news also alluded to the imaginary driver demanding the sum of N100m ( One hundred million naira) from the Commissioner for Health, Dr. Tomi Coker and threatening to spread the disease if not paid. Nothing can be further from the truth. We wish to put it straight that there is nothing of such. It is the figment of the imagination of some unscrupulous elements whose desire is to incite fear in the members of the public. This period calls for sombre, responsible and responsive actions. COVID-19 is challenging the global community like no other disease in the past. The government i

PRESIDENT BUHARI APPROVES CRACKDOWN ON SECURITY AGENTS UNDERMINING BORDER DRILL.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

      As part of the Federal Government’s effort to ensure food security and improve local production of goods at competitive prices, President Muhammadu Buhari commissioned ‘OPERATION SWIFT RESPONSE’ as a border drill exercise to checkmate the illegal activities of smugglers across our borders. The border drill has been hugely successful and has led to the interception and seizure of large quantities o f foods, materials, minerals and petroleum resources illegally trafficked across our borders. The President commends the security agencies for a job well done. He, however, finds it disheartening to learn that 295 smuggled petroleum tankers were released without due authorization on 17th December, 2019 by some security officials charged with the responsibility of protecting our borders. Sequel to this act, the National Security Adviser (NSA) was directed to set up a Board of Inquiry to investigate the crime, and it was recommended to the President that all officials (civilian or secu
