The ongoing debate within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over which of the six geo-political zones of Nigeria should produce the party’s next Presidential candidate for the 2023 general election a welcome development and good step in the right direction for which the party should be commended. This is because the debate recognizes the multi-ethnic, lingual, and religious nature of the country and the need to allay the constant fear of domination being entertained by the less dominant tribes and regions of the country.    According to late chief Bola Ige of blessed memory in his book titled, Constitution and the problems of Nigeria, he said that there are over 240 ethnic groups in Nigeria with large number of

 OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR WIKE His Excellency. Dr. Nyesom Wike The Executive Governor of River State Government House, Port Harcourt. Your Excellency sir, PLEASE SUPPORT DR. BUKOLA SARAKI FOR PRESIDENT AND WRITE YOUR NAME IN GOLD. Hope this meets you well Sir. I am a lifetime Democrat, a member of the People’s Democratic party (PDP) and one of your numerous supporters who remain proud of your achievements as a state Governor, your transformation of Rivers state, and your commitment to our great party in general. Without doubt, you have been, and remain a blessing to the PDP without whose support and sacrifices, the party may have gone into extinction. You have helped in no small way to help PDP withstand the brutal onslaught, harassment and even persecution of our members by the clueless APC government. The result is that today, average Nigerians look up to the PDP for salvation from the insecurity of lives and properties, endless borrowing and burdensome debts, inflation, high fuel pri

  Hon Hawau who recently declared her intention to become the next EDU constituency representative in 2023, talks about her aims and strategy.  My name is Hajia Hawau Muhammad. I am from Edu Local government Area of Kwara State and I am the erstwhile SA Recreational matters. All my life, I have lived a life of service and offering humanitarian aid. I have travelled far and wide and garnered enough experience to represent the good people of Edu. I have spent my life mostly with my people and I have seen the situation that are flying high and I have seen and known all that are facing challenges, especially the women and youth in rural areas.  I have seen people suffer, I have seen people lose their lives needlessly due to insecurity, I have seen people going to bed without eating and I have seen our young ones roaming the streets in search of employment. I have seen the health care system in our constituency gone down to nothing; I have seen factories closing down. In terms of human and

APC empowerment programme at Agbaji is a vote-inducing strategy - Group

  A group of concerned youths of Agbaji in Ilorin West area of Kwara State has described as ‘partisan and political gimmick’, the purported empowerment programme organised by some politicians loyal to Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq in the area on Sunday. The group in a statement released on Sunday afternoon, said the people of Agbaji were not fools and would never give in to the deceit of Governor Abdulrazaq and his men. It also asked the APC to stop using public funds to induce voters in the name of empowerment programme. “If their intention is sincere, they would have started this empowerment programme long before. Did they just realize people need empowerment? Why is it that it is when the 2023 general elections are fast approaching that they thought of organising one yeye empowerment programme where they only distributed a few items and N5000 to some selected people? What have they done for the people of Agbaji since they got to power three years ago?   “The purported empowerment

  With the ever changing nature of technology, one cannot overlook the importance of internet to women entreprenuers.thanks to internet,the world has now become a global village making it easier for people from diverse locations meet up and share ideas on the internet. Therefore,it is very vital that organisations and governments strive to make internet accessible to women entreprenuers to help them advertise their businesses,share ideas and add knowledge on how best to improve their businesses. the govenment and NGOs should liase with ttelecommunication firms to help them implement this idea.Inteernet access enables innovativeness because with the new learnt knowwledge,a business woman is able to get new ideas on how to run her small farm,improve on her selling methods to attract more customers into her shop or practise new methods of firming to improve on the produce. Many rural women globally, do not have internet access and training and this is a big impediment in their economic em

Encounter with the Ilorin Born, Abdulkadir Habeeb Olayinka

By Faruq Atofarati During the aggressive upheaval of the corona virus, at the point when the 'lockdown' rule was mostly respected and accorded obedience with its own regards. I had a condescending momentum to improve on my art. It was during this time that I stumbled upon, or rather, my path crossed with one whom later became one of the most respected, designated with intelligence, aggressively self motivated personage I've ever met, Abdulkadir Habeeb. Omo Olopa, as we are fond of calling him has an enduring tolerance for people, during the time which my natural reflex towards a stranger was still mild and somewhat hostile. I found out he has affinities for people who come across him regardless of the esteem in play at the time. In spite of his calibre and profound society's glorification of whom he is and what he has in his possession, he sustained his relationship with me, a common man. Omo Olopa is in truth, a deep rooted cosmopolitan, and enormously embedded with va

    Today, excitement glued the air as Peoples Democratic party members in Lafiagi Emirate comprising of four (4) wards received hundreds of decampees of All Progressive Congress in Edu Local Government area of Kwara State. The Decampees who are in their hundreds comprise 58 different groups across the four wards in the Emirate said they have no business to remain in a party that never kept on their promises made during campaigns.. The leader of the different groups led by Hajiya Jumai Ndama Lafiyami, alleged that the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kwara state has failed the expectations of the masses in the state.  They said the leadership lacks the brilliance to manage the electoral success recorded during the last General elections. Another set of the Decampees are of the view that they believed this current administration has failed people of the local government in term of dividends of democracy, adequate security and above the decision of the PDP that resulted to zoning the Gu

The candidacy of Hon Hawau Muhammad would bring development, growth and a viable economic growth to the people of EDU.

 Our dear democracy has grown to the extent of having better representatives at the state and National assemblies of the highest law-making institution in our country. In every advanced country, they leverage on good laws and policies to boost the economic growth, human capital development and infrastructural projects to facilitate growth to the people.   The redundancy we’ve seen in Nigeria politics is a product of bad representation. This is because representatives are after their own parochial interests and wealth. The idea of representational government is to represent the ideas and interests of the people. The interest of the people comes first.   The good people of EDU district deserve more. The people need to decide their development. The people have the power to demand through their representatives to bring development to their community. This is what Hon Hawau Muhammad will bring.  The candidacy of Hon Hawau Muhammad would bring development, growth and a viable economic growth
