SHOCKING DEFECTION HITS ASO ROCK…As President Buhari’s Closest Aide, 26,318 Others, Dump APC For PDP With Immediate Effect

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, who worked during the election of President Muhammadu Buhari as the Deputy Director, Buhari Support Organizations, Blessing Agbomhere, on Tuesday, dumped the All Progressives Congress, APC, to join the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
The erstwhile staunch supporter of Buhari and a total of 26,318 his followers, were received by the South-South PDP caucus, led by the South-South Vice Chairman of the party, Hon. Emmanuel Ogidi, Edo State PDP Chairman, Chief Dan Orbih, and Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu.
Agbomhere expressed his sadness over 59,857 illegal migrants from Nigeria, who are mostly the people of Etsako in Edo State, that have been forced to cross the desert by trekking and sailing the Mediterranean Sea by inflated balloons to Europe, between 2015 and 2017, as a result of the poverty inflicted by this administration on Edo people.
He said: “The editorial opinion of international and domestic media, especially those who endorsed Buhari’s candidacy in 2015, have indicated that APC administration is failing, and as much as I have resisted the temptation to criticize the administration as a mother will not castigate her child in public, my loyalty to Nigeria and my obedience to Godly injunctions in the Holy Bible and the Noble Quran, which have formed our national ethical responsibilities as enshrined in the Constitution, and my commitment to good governance will not permit me to maintain silence or remain in the APC.”
He further stated: “Rather than deepening democracy and good governance, the APC administration has squandered its goodwill, and deepened corruption and abuse of public trust.”
Agbomhere, who accused President Buhari of not heeding the patriotic counsel of their Leader, Prince Tony Momoh, because he is not a Northerner, added: “In total disregard of this administration’s integrity, all Government Agencies have been turned to family businesses, as the Customs, NNPC, Ministry of Finance, Works, Housing and Power, Nigerian Ports Authority, and the NDDC, have been gifted to vested interests.”

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...
