Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, youths in the Southwest, under the aegis of PDP Youths Congress, PDPYC have called on leaders of the party to give the House of Representatives opposition Principal Officer position to any of the ranking members from Oyo State. According to the Convener, Comrade Oluwole Durojaiye, Oyo State gave PDP the best results in the last general elections and those who made it happened in the State must be adequately rewarded so as to encourage loyalty and commitment among the party members. The PDPYC said the party leaders at the national level must be mindful of a certain element who worked against the interests of the party in Ogun State. They said Oyo State deserved to be compensated for keeping the hope of the party alive in the Southwest so as to serve as future reference point. The youths, who insisted that those who rebelled against the party must not be seen as being rewarded at whatever level, called on the National Chairman, Chief Uche Secondus, Oyo Stat...

Ekiti PDP Media Group chides Fayemi, Akeredolu over deplorable state of Ikere/Akure Road  Ekiti State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party National New Media Group (PDP-NNMG) has said that the Governors of Ekiti and Ondo States, Kayode Fayemi and Rotimi Akeredolu should be ashamed of the deplorable state of the Ikere Ekiti to Akure road. The group noted that; “with the rehabilitation and dualisation of the Ado to Ikere section of the road by the Ayo Fayose led PDP government, nothing should have stopped the Ondo State governor in particular from fixing the Ondo State section of the road more so that it was budgeted for in 2018.” The PDP-NNMG accused the APC federal government of totally neglecting the road despite that budgetary provision was made for its reconstruction in 2015 by the PDP government of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan. In a statement made available to newsmen on Sunday, Ekiti State Coordinator of the PDP-NNMG, Bola Agboola said "Ikere-Akure Road has become the worst inter...

Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation has advised those urging the presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to put the outcome of the 2019 election behind him not to forget that democracy grants him the liberty to exhaust the legal option in his pursuit of justice. Spokesman of the organisation, Segun Sowunmi, stated this, yesterday, in Abuja during a media parley. According to him, it is too early to ask Atiku to withdraw his case because those asking him to prepare to test the waters again in 2023 do not know how “emotionally and financially draining” the presidential contest is.   He said: “Men must be fearful of playing God, for God will be eternal and omnipotent, omnipresent and he is the absolute ruler over the affairs of men. We are yet to bury the carcass of 2019, so it is too early to start to speculate about 2023. “In any case, what is important is that democracy is not a relay race where you take a baton and give it to the next person; it is n...

Ekiti PDP Media Group slams Fayemi over stoppage of “N50 per pupil” school feeding programme  The Ekiti State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party National New Media Group (PDP-NNMG) has described the stoppage of the School Feeding Programme launched on May 7, 2019 by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as another clear manifestation that the programme was designed to loot public fund.
