Why I Am Quiet On PDP Crisis

Former Senate President and a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Bukola Saraki explained why he has been quiet on the crisis rocking the PDP.

Gatekeepers News reports that Saraki, who justified his silence in a series of tweets on Saturday, noted that had been working silently, which according to him is more productive.

He also stated that the PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar remain the best option for Nigerians in the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

He wrote: “I just returned from my annual vacation and went straight to Akwa Ibom to join the celebration of the 35th anniversary of the state’s creation.

“As I moved round the country in the past few days, I got the feeling that many people are concerned over my seeming silence on recent developments in our party, the PDP.

“My response is that there are times to speak and be heard and there are times when working silently behind the scene is more productive. This is such a time.

“PDP and Atiku Abubakar remain the best option for Nigerians in the 2023 polls.”

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that A former deputy governor of Edo State, Philip Shaibu, has said any governorship candidate who can not speak the Edo dialect cannot govern the state.

Speaking during the Edo Central PDP leaders and stakeholders meeting held in Irrua, the administrative headquarters of Esan Central Local Government Area of the state on Monday, Shaibu said he would support only a homeboy to become the governor of the state.

He added that a candidate who needed the help of an interpreter did not qualify as a homeboy because of his inability to speak the dialect of the Edo people.

Tinubu Not Fair To El-Rufai, Yahaya Bello, Says Ogun PDP chieftain

Latest Politics updatein nigeria

Lifestyle Nigeria gathered that A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party and one of the governorship aspirants during 2023 elections in Ogun State, Segun Showunmi, on Monday, cautioned President Bola Tinubu from toeing path of an ingrate.

Otunba Showunmi said that President Tinubu can not afford to be a betrayal of the trust the north has in the south as far as managing the political landscape of nigeria is concerned.

Showunmi condemned Tinubu’s total neglect of Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and Yahaya Bello, the former governors of Kaduna and Kogi States, respectively, despite working tirelessly to ensure that the former governor of Lagos emerged last February as the new President of nigeria.

The PDP chieftain disclosed this in a statement titled “This Madness Must Stop” and made available to journalists on Monday.

Showunmi accused Tinubu of allowing the former Kogi governor to suffer unnecessary humiliation at the hands of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission despite his invaluable contribution to actualising Tinubu’s presidency, while other former governors of the Peoples Democratic Party are allowed to stroll all over the town.
