– The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) seems to have bounced back to reckoning after its recent crisis

– The opposition party has resolved the issues that culminated to a blown full crisis

– The PDP however says it will end bitter politics in Nigeria

The PDP shelved aside politics today, June 7 as members of the party united in prayers for President Muhammadu Buhari. Led by the deputy Senate president, Ike Ekweremadu, the PDP prayed for the full recovery of the president and wished him success in his endeavours.

Members of the party had gathered to witness the formal inauguration of the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led caretaker committee which was appointed by the party stakeholders during the recent national convention of the PDP in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

Speaking on the prayers for President Buhari, the PDP caretaker committee chairman, Senator Makarfi said: ”As opposition, it doesn’t mean that we are heartless or inconsiderate.

”We pray for our nation, we pray for our leaders. I am sure our National Assembly members cooperate with the federal government when there is need to cooperate.

”I am sure our governors in cooperate with the federal government in the council of state meetings when there is a need to cooperate but that doesn’t mean that we have differences.

”That doesn’t mean we should not advertise our differences so that Nigerians can make a choice between us and those in government.”

Makarfi commended PDP members in public offices for their contribution to nation building saying ”this should be the new spirit.” 

He advised members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to desist from blaming the PDP for all the country’s woes especially those who defected from the PDP to the APC.

”Those who spent the greater part of their political life with us before they moved, when they are talking they should think twice.

”When they talk sometimes they say 16 years of the PDP rule, they should add including them and I hear these more from those that left PDP a year ago or two years ago,” Makarfi said.

Among those who witnessed the historic occasion were governors, senators and house of representative members under the platform of the PDP, Board of Trustees members, former members of the party’s National Working Committee and other major stakeholders of the party.


The presidency had yesterday, June 6, through a statement by President Buhari’s spokesman, Femi Adeshina, urged Nigerians to pray for the quick recovery of the president.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
