Reports coming out of Cross River State has it that the State Working Committee, SWC, of All Progressive Congress, APC, in Cross River State has suspended the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Usani Uguru Usani.
This was made known by a member of the SWC, Godwin Takus, on Sunday.
He said: “State Working Committee (SWC) has suspended the Minister of Niger Delta Affairs Pastor Usani Usani. The man has been going against most of the Party (APC) rules. He called illegal meetings with intention of forming parallel State Executive Committee (EXCO).
“The Party severally called him and warned him but he did not listen. Last year, he appeared before the State Working Committee to explain his role in some of those meetings.
“He told us he doesn’t owe us any explanation and he was warned. He promised us that he will be of good character from that moment. But he keeps holding different meetings both here in the state and Abuja.
“Recently, he tried to constitute a parallel EXCO against the one that has been in existence from the inception of the party, so we have no option than to suspend him and recommended for his expulsion from the party at the National level.
“That is just summary of all we did. We truly tried to manage the problems that associated with him since he left us as State Chairman.
“Even his emergence as State Chairman was questionable. He came in by way of an imposition to all of us but we thought he will be good and try to manage the affairs of the Party.
“However, unfortunately, he didn’t. The opportunity we gave him, he refused to use it for the good of the Party. We suspended him to move the Party forward ahead of 2019 elections” he stated.
Speaking further on the chances of the APC winning the forthcoming elections, Chief Takus said, “We just have to win the election in Cross River State and (he) Usani has been a cloak in the wheel of progress of the Party in the State.
“Almost everybody in the Party in the State will tell you that the man is a major problem and because of him, the Party was not moving forward. We have condoned him enough”.
On the issue of substantive Chairman, he said “You know the National (leadership) arranged to have a Congress on November 29, 2017, but somebody came up and gone to court and stop the Party from doing congress for reason best known to him.
“As a law-abiding party, we had to stop the Congress and listen to the man’s grievances. But if the matter is not resolved at the proper time, that Congress and convention will come up and we will certainly have a substantive State Chairman. The State Caucus will be inaugurated between now and February.”

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...
