ELECTION 2019: Why APC Governors, Lawmakers Will Lose Second Term Bid – Party Chieftain

An All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain, Ibrahim Ali Ningi has stated that most of the governors elected under the party’s platform and have second term ambition will lose their seats in the 2019 elections for working against President Muhammadu Buhari.
He stated that this political permutation will apply to both federal and states legislatures in the country.
Ningi made this known in an exclusive interview in Bauchi, stressing that there was no room for enemies of democracy to win elections in 2019.
He explained that this followed alleged plots by APC governors and the lawmakers to take the party structures from President Muhammadu Buhari during the recently-concluded APC congresses across the country.
“Let me tell you categorically that APC governors and lawmakers’ decision to have hijacked the party’s recent Congresses is a pointer that they want to unseat President Buhari towards the 2019 elections. However most of them will lose their second term bid, because they won 2015 elections through Buhari’s popularity,” Ningi said.
Ningi attributed problems in the party’s congresses to governors’ conspiracy against Buhari and blamed National Assembly members for deliberately refusing to cooperate with the President over the 2018 Budget. 
He alleged that the National Assembly members are by-products of corruption and were bent on frustrating the signing of the 2018 budget so to scuttle Buhari’s positive vision for Nigerians.
“Most of them rode on his political popularity to win 2015 elections despite that they are corrupt and I assure you that Nigerians will not vote for corrupt politicians in future,” he added.
The APC stalwart maintained that the success of the party’s national convention in Abuja has vindicated Buhari, as against the failed congresses in some states where governors smuggled in their loyalists as executives.
He however assured that the President will win his second term bid on the strength of the successes recorded by the APC administration.

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...
