APC NEC: STOP DENYING YOUR WRONG,PDP TELLS BUHARI PRESIDENCY.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

      June 28, 2020 Press Statement APC NEC: Stop Denying Your Wrong, PDP Tells Buhari Presidency The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rebuked the Buhari Presidency for denying that the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) held inside the chambers of the Federal Executive Council (FEC). The party described as unfortunate that the Presidency would post a denial even when the media and the public space are already awash with photographs and videos of the NEC meeting, with APC leaders physically in attendance inside the FEC chambers where President Muhammadu Buhari presided. It is therefore shocking that the Buhari Presidency can state in denial that “this meeting, we say emphatically, was not convened at the Council Chamber. It was virtual, not a physical meeting”. This is even when the world watched Mr. President addressing the applauding APC leaders, in addition to the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justi

     According to Reuters '' Indonesian President Joko Widodo has told his cabinet he is ready to reshuffle ministers or even disband government agencies that he feels have not done enough to fight the coronavirus outbreak, according to his office.

It can be disbanding agencies, can be a reshuffle, I have thought of everything,” he said, adding that he may also issue more emergency rules if needed.

New COVID-19 cases in Indonesia continued to rise even as the country eased movement restrictions and al

      Consequent upon the banning of international pilgrims from performing the year 2020 pilgrimage by the Saudi Arabian authority, the Lagos State Government has urged intending pilgrims to postpone their plans till year 2021.

APC NEC HELD A VIRTUAL MEETING, NOT A PHYSICAL ONE AT COUNCIL CHAMBER.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
     It is necessary that we put records in their correct perspective concerning the recent meeting held by the National Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, which has, unfortunately drawn criticism due to lack of understanding. The stubborn opinion held by the critics of the administration is that President Muhammadu Buhari had called a political meeting in the “hallowed” chamber of the Fe deral Executive Council, as if there is a law that says the President is barred from holding meetings in certain sections of the vast Presidential Villa. Since the President lives in the Villa, no one can, legally speaking, choose or dictate to him where he can sit to hold meetings. So, what is wrong in the President presenting himself before a camera and a TV screen in a digital conference at a given location within the Villa? Just for the sake of the argument, this meeting, we say emphatically, was not convened at the Council Chamber. It was virtual, not a physical me

PRESIDENT BUHARI AND TINUBU STILL TOGETHER, ANALYSTS NEED TO GET THEIR FACTS RIGHT.[PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

      The very essence of the requests put to the Emergency National Executive Committee meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC) by President Muhammadu Buhari, which were unanimously approved aim to pull back the party, faced with an existential crisis from the brink of collapse, follow the constitution and take everyone along. While this action has been widely accepted with great relief by lo vers of democracy and the rank and file of the membership, we are concerned that political vulturism masquerading as “smart analysis” is selling the commentary that this is a Buhari-Tinubu “showdown.” Nothing can be farther from the truth. To put the records straight: In the formation of this great party and giving it leadership, President Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who are reckoned as the founding fathers of the APC are both inspired by democratic norms, national interest and not at all by partisan motivations. These are the qualities that have made them move past cynical

CELEBRATING FASHOLA AT 57 THE 'BRF WAY'.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

      by Hakeem Bello “BRF is a genius at breaking it down, laying it all out. When he goes on project tours, he stops to ask the artisans and food vendors on the site about how the project has touched or is touching their lives. And that’s what government communications should really be focusing on: telling and showing the actual impact / outcomes. Not just the contract sum (input) — which is what tends to make the headlines, the media love these numbers — but also the “stimulus” effect on ordinary people and communities and neighbourhoods.” - Tolu Ogunlesi, Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Digital Communications, on “Lessons in/from public sector communication” Right on the money. The stories told by these Nigerians - Abu, Sunday and others during BRF’s tours, can fill a book, but much more than that, they tell a story: Impact. In 2017, Mallam Abu, a labourer at the site of the Gombe State National Housing Programme, told Fashola that he had worked at the s

       Social media enthusiasts have been praising a Nigerian man named Chidiebere Ogbonna who bought a carton of Indomie noodles and later found cash worth of 1.8million naira and returned it to the Indomie Vendor. According to reports sighted on social media, narrating his side of the story, Chidiebere said he got home, opened the carton, and when he saw what was inside, he immediately returned it. This act is what was displayed by a Nigerian man with tags Nigerians are facing amidst Nigerian Hushpuppi’s massive criminal agenda. Moreover, upon Chidiebere returning the carton full of money, with such great joy, the shop owner promised to supply Chidiebere cartoon of Indomie noodles for the next six months. According to reports, Mr. Chidiebere Ogbonna is not rich or wealthy, but he must be a Christian and have the fear of God in order to do this. Chidiebere also disclosed that, even though he is not rich, the money he found in the carton was not his and so he would not k

       The Ogun State Government, under the leadership of Prince Dapo Abiodun, is renovating all the State's Fire and Safety Service Stations.

I HAVE NOT DECIDED ON 2023 PRESIDENTIAL AMBITION - ASIWAJU BOLA AHMED TINUBU.{PHOTOS}.#PRESS RELEASE.

-
Image
       I wish to begin my remarks by commending members of the National Working Committee. Under their collective stewardship, the party earned great and important victories, not least the vital second mandate handed to President Buhari. President Buhari’s victory, and the overall electoral success of APC speak highly of them. Our task as a party is to build upon the progress thus made so that both nation and party may advance to their better future. Yet, we must acknowledge that something important has gone off track. For some months we have experienced growing disagreement within the leadership of the party. This unfortunate competition had grown so intense as to impair the performance of the NWC, thus undermining the internal cohesion and discipline vital to success. Some people have gone so far as to predict the total disintegration of our party. Most such dire predictions were from critics whose forecasts said more about their ill will than they revealed about our party’s obj

''For the past three weeks, I have been ill and most people didn't even know what was wrong with me. I kept it to myself. It has been three weeks of hell for me and my family. I had COVID19 for about three weeks and it happened to me. I was sick and I tested positive. The reason why I came out to say it is because I am going to encourage a lot of people concerning this whole social distancing, getting used to sanitizing your hands, disinfecting your environment, wearing your face mask and all that. It's been hell for this family in this house. Not just me. Even two of my domestic staff. After a week, my daughter caught the virus as well. It was sad that when she caught it, the doctor ins
