1600 Members Dump APC In Edo - Politics -
No fewer than 1,650 members of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have dumped the ruling party in Edo State.
The members, from the 12 wards of Oredo Local Government Area of the State, resigned their membership of the party yesterday.
Spokesman of the former APC members, Omo-Osagie Efosa, who addressed journalists in Benin City, the state capital, pointed out that they decided to resign their membership of the party because the “change mantra,” which was what brought them into the party had failed.
Omo-Osagie also listed the undemocratic manner in which the party was run by the state leadership and the “cabal like manner“ in which cronies and political jobbers were secretly anointed by some party leaders to conduct the last congresses in the state as part of their reasons.
Omo-Sagie further claimed that during the party’s council primaries, of which he was a front runner for the chairman in Oredo LGA, he was arm-twisted and edged out of the race after he had paid for and collected nomination form.
He said, “They secretly selected councillors and chairmen as candidates for the election and were not allowed to face the electorate in the primaries.
“Even when there were complaints that some leaders were collecting huge sums of money from aspirants, the party blatantly refused to entertain the complaints nor did it investigated them to give victims the needed justice.”

N470 Million Niger Bridge Collapses In Dangana, Niger State - Travel -
A Niger bridge collapse in Dangana in the Lapai Local Government Area of Niger State, left many motorists and residents stranded for more than four hours on Friday.
The people condemned the government for abandoning the structure which had reportedly gulped millions of naira.
Findings show that the bridge contract was awarded in January, 2017 at the cost of N470m by the state government to ease the suffering of motorists and commuters in the community, Punch Metro reports.
According to reports on Sunday, the project contractor, Soject Nigeria Limited, abandoned the site following the failure of the government to pay the balance of N77m.
A driver, Adamu Lapai, told our correspondent that the government was playing politics with the bridge, noting that the failure to complete the facility was causing untold hardship to the people.
“Government is extremely insensitive to the plight and the suffering of the people. If government had paid the contractor the balance of the contract sum as at last year, he would have completed the bridge by now,” he explained.
“Because of the forthcoming general elections, we learnt that the government has released N77m for the completion of the project. Honestly speaking, if they fail to complete that bridge before the election, God knows they will not get one vote from Gulu, Lapai and other communities,” Lapai added.
The motorist, who spent over four hours on the bridge, added that “There was no financial commitment on the side of the government and that was what made the work to stop thereby inflicting suffering on those using the bridge.”
The Village Head of Dangana community, Yanusa Abdullahi, said that motorists and commuters were going through difficully on the bridge, noting that farmers could no longer take their produce to the market
“People of my community and others that make use of the bridge are suffering a lot; at times they find it difficult to take their farm produce to nearby villages or towns to sell due to the collapse of the bridge.
“Without that bridge, farmers cannot go to the market to sell their farm produce. We are appealing to the state government to speed up the construction to ameliorate the suffering of the local farmers of Dangana,” Abdullahi stated.
He said the temporary diversion created by the construction company was not helping matters as vehicles were getting stranded inside the river.
The Project Manager, Suject Construction Ltd., Milad Jarbanda, gave the assurance that the bridge would be completed in 10 days.

Tambuwal To Tinubu: When You Were Denied Buhari’s VP, You Tried To Rock The Boat - Politics -
Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, on Monday said, he is able and capable to compete with President Buhari in the coming 2019 Presidential election.
He made this known while reacting to the statement of the APC National Leader, Ahmed Tinubu, about his exit from the ruling party.
According to a statement on the State’s Twitter handle, @sokotogovthouse, Tambuwal said;
Tinubu had on Sunday alleged that Tambuwal wants to become president: “Governor Tambuwal’s exit can be distilled to one cause. He covets the Presidency. However, he had not the stomach to challenge President Buhari in a primary.
Tambuwal felt further insulted that he would be compelled to face a direct primary just to retain the governorship nomination,” Tinubu said in a statement titled, “They go away because we go the right way,” which he personally signed.

According to a statement on the State’s Twitter handle, @sokotogovthouse, Tambuwal said;
“If I wanted to and if the Presidency is what (why) Ahmed Tinubu thinks I defected, I could contest with President Buhari under the APC. I have what it takes to have contested with Mr. President.”
“Tinubu tried to rock the boat when he was denied Buhari’s vice presidency. He thinks every other person could behave his way. If I wanted to contest under the APC as president, I could have done so and only the votes could have produced a winner.
“In any case, Tinubu is confessing that there is no level-playing ground for all members of the APC; that there is no internal democracy in it and that some people were denied their right to internal democracy.”

Some APC Senators Are Against Oshiomhole’s Move To Impeach Saraki – Reps - Politics -
Some members of the House of Representatives have stated that some of their colleagues on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC, were against the move by their National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole to effect an impeachment of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.
They made this disclosure while urging Buhari to order the arrest of Oshiomhole over what they termed as his persistent attacks on the National Assembly.
The Reps, under the aegis of Parliamentary Democrats Group, PDG, said Oshiomhole was ridiculing Nigeria before the global community by launching relentless attacks on Senate President Saraki, and the entire federal legislative arm of government.
The group made the appeal in a statement signed by its spokesperson, Hon. Timothy Golu, over the weekend.
PDG insisted that the former Edo State governor was destabilizing the National Assembly with threats.
The statement read, “Oshiomhole has refused to sleep because he wants Senator Bukola Saraki removed as duly elected Senate President.
“He is distracting our nation’s democracy and ridiculing us before the global democratic community. His style is too primitive for democracy.
“Let him come through the door with 2/3 of the Senators to legally achieve his selfish objective. What his ignorance would not allow him to know is that even some APC Senators are not part of the charade. Access to democracy is not brigandage but respect to the rule of law and due process.
“Oshiomhole’s anti-democratic utterances is making us a laughing stock. We advise him not to kill himself on Saraki as there is nothing he can do to subvert the law of democracy just to achieve an anti-democratic goal.
“We call on President Buhari to immediately call him to order or direct the IGP Ibrahim Idris to arrest him so that peace can flow.
“He is destabilizing the National Assembly with threats and the use of security agencies to haunt our leaders.
