PDP encouarges Buhari to be compassionate to everyone

National leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP
yesterday urged the President- elect, General Muhammadu
Buhari, retd to see himself as a father of the nation who
should live like late South Africa President, Nelson Mandela
and forgive killers and arsonists.
Speaking with Journalists in Abuja, PDP deputy National
Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus who was responding to
General Buhari’s comment when some stakeholders and
traditional rulers from Rivers state visited him Wednesday,
said that as the President- elect, he should comment as a
father on issues that may be brought before him, rather
than take sides especially on issues awaiting adjudication
and before a panel of inquiry or the judiciary.
According to PDP, Buhari needs to try to deal with such
issues with passion of a father to all irrespective of party
affiliation, adding that such utterances do not portray him as
an elder statesman. Secondus said, ” the utterances of the
President -elect when he received a delegation of some
traditional rules from Rivers state do not portray him as a
statesman. He is the president-elect and indeed the father of
all. He should exercise caution and restraints in some
issues, especially when such issues are still in court.
“The election tribunals in the country and even in Rivers
state have just commenced sitting and unguarded
statements could be seen as prejudicial and give negative
signals. “The president-elect should emulate the late
President of South Africa, Nelson Mandela who assumed
office as president of South Africa at such a critical time in
the history of South Africa.” The PDP Deputy National
Chairman who noted that it was unfair for Buhari to make
such claims and statements when the issues involved,
including the integrity of the governorship election in the
state was subject of election tribunal, said, “He is the
president -elect and soon to be sworn in as the President of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria and not the president of the
APC.”

The Glory Of Womanhood Gone Where?

Back then when the dignity and pride of womanhood was
something worth nurturing. Nevertheless, a lot has lost the
values that comes with it on a platter of foolishness. While
others have slim reasons that warrant such lose, the rest -
which happens to be the greater populace bears no reasons
for their actions, not even regret. Each day I ponder why the
transit decay of morals amongst our mothers of tomorrow.
However, its easier for a camel to pass the eye of a needle
than a girl in her mid-20's still virtuous. I wonder! Today's
girls practice what I call "Street-whorish". Amidst this,it is
only fair to accost men as being the reason for this menace
but I disagree. Why blame Men for an action which u
instigated? Why wear revealing apparels just to express
beauty? No one born of a woman can deny the beauty
bestow in every woman. Then why show it 'freely'. It took
something for you as a woman to be made. It cost God
something of Adam to make you. Now u offer it to every man
and harry that comes by. The original plan of God was for u
to honor ur husband with that virtue which every other men
desire, that which other men is willing to live or die getting...
I may not be worthy to say this to you but as long as you do
read this, and with the pricking of heart, do make Amend.
That lost virtue can still be gotten if you wud STOP and make
amend NOW!

Jonathan's government is the most corrupt govt in Nigeria's history- Dino Melaye

Is that so? Senator-elect, Dino Melaye,​ has alleged that the government of President Jonathan is the most corrupt in Nigeria's history. He made the allegation in a new interview with Premium Times.

“Jonathan is the promoter of corruption. I am telling you that the Government of Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan is the most corrupt in Nigerian history but who we have as president-elect of this country today, Muhammadu Buhari, the man I see as the nemesis of corruption. I am an advocate of anti-corruption and for me if I enter office, I am going to do it more this time around. More importantly, now that we have a government that is going to have zero tolerance for corruption, we must as legislators carry out our functions from any form of sacrifice.” he said
