COMMUNIQUE ISSUED AT THE END OF THE 11TH MEETING OF THE PDP GOVERNORS' FORUM HELD ON MONDAY, 26TH JULY, 2021 AT BAUCHI

Governors elected on the platform of the PDP met in Bauchi, Bauchi State on 26th July 2021. The meeting deliberated once again on the state of the nation, reviewed the deteriorating state of our democracy, the economic and security situation in the country, the state of the PDP as the main opposition platform in Nigeria, and arrived at the following decisions. 1. On the Electoral Act Amendment Bill, the Governors identified the need for free, fair, and credible elections in the country and called on the National Assembly to entrench Electronic transmission of results of elections in the nation’s electoral jurisprudence. 2. The meeting requested the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), the only body empowered by the Constitution to conduct elections, to deploy appropriate technologies necessary to ensure that the votes of every Nigerian is counted and made to count. The meeting further called on the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), especially, the Universal Service Provision Fund (USPF), Nigerian Communications Satellite Ltd (NIGCOMSAT), Telephone Companies (Telcos) and all relevant stakeholders to ensure that universal access and service of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are provided especially in rural, un-served and under-served areas of the country before the 2023 General elections. 3. The meeting condemned the attempt to foist on all political parties, one method of conducting primaries, that is, by DIRECT METHOD ONLY, through the Electoral Act Amendment Bill. The Governors noted that the method is prone to massive rigging, as evidenced by a situation where President Buhari scored about 15 million votes in the 2018 APC Direct Primaries only to score 15 million votes from the entire country in the 2019 General Election. The Governors advised that political parties should be allowed to decide whether to use the direct or indirect method of conducting primaries as part of internal democracy in political parties. 4. The Governors reiterated, once again, the need for the NNPC and other revenue-generating agencies of Government to strictly abide by the Constitution by remitting all their Revenue less cost of Production into the Federation Account as provided for by S.162 of the Constitution. 5. The meeting condemned, once again, the use of underhand tactics to arm-twist some PDP Governors and other stakeholders to join the APC, a political party that has wrecked Nigeria's economy, turned Nigeria into a killing field, and has nothing to offer Nigerians but misery and bad governance. 6. The Governors condemned Mr. President and APC for turning the Presidential Villa, which belongs to all Nigerians, into the new APC headquarters, where coerced PDP members are being paraded at intervals. 7. On the economy, the meeting admonished the APC Federal Government to collaborate more with State Governments to stem the unemployment scourge affecting the youths of Nigeria, through technology and increased production in all fields of endeavour, reiterating that Government should stop paying lip service on the Ease of Doing Business, as foreign direct investments have continued to fall partly due to obstacles placed on foreign companies wishing to invest in Nigeria. A glaring example is that of FACEBOOK who insisted on investing in Nigeria rather than Ghana and is being frustrated by regulatory authorities. 8. On the security of lives and properties, in addition to our earlier recommendations, it is time to bring the activities of bandits, kidnappers and terrorists to an end, through increased use of military equipment, traditional means of conflict resolution, and technology for surveillance and the development of the political will to flush them out. Kidnapping, banditry and terrorism ARE NOT BUSINESS VENTURES as claimed by APC but heinous STATE CRIMES, that is destroying the Nigerian economy, the educational and social future of our children and causing significant social upheavals in society, the PDP Governors admonished.9. The PDP Governors enjoined all Nigerians of goodwill to take advantage of the ongoing registration of Voters by INEC to register to vote, thereby arming themselves with the necessary tools in the struggle to RESCUE NIGERIA from the APC maladministration. Furthermore, the general public, especially our Youths and Women are implored to use the opportunity of the PDP E-REGISTRATION exercise which will kick off soon, to register as PDP members, while PDP Members should update their membership electronically. 10. The Governors thanked the Chief Host, His Excellency, Senator Bala Abdulkadir Mohamed, CON, of Bauchi State for providing a conducive atmosphere for the meeting and for the huge difference he has made in the provision of infrastructure and general welfare of citizens of Bauchi State, the Pearl of Tourism.

Group condemns anti-Ishaku protest over Tiv - Jukun clashes

A recent protest against the governor of Taraba state, Dairus Ishaku, over the recent clashes between Tivs and Jukuns in the state has been condemned by a youth group in the state. Briefing newsmen on Friday, the group, Concerned Youths of Taraba, condemned the allegation that Governor Darius Dickson Ishaku and General T. Y. Danjuma were responsible for the clashes. Daniel Likam, President of the group described the protesters as ‘hired miscreants’, said that they were only pain to tarnish the image of the governor and not proffer solution to the problem. “The action of these hired miscreants is hereby condemned by Concerned Taraba State youths because it is a clear attempt to tarnish the good image of our leaders and escalate the Tiv-Jukun crisis. “We the concerned youths wish to state that, these Abuja hired protesters are not resident here in Taraba, neither are they of Taraba State origin. “The State Government under the leadership of Arc. Darius Dickson Ishaku has made numerous efforts to ensure that lasting peace is restored,” the group said. The group listed some of the efforts of the government to include: meeting between Gov. Ishaku and his Benue State counterpart, Samuel Ortom and subsequent meeting with elders from the two tribes. The group said that a high powered committee had also been set up to interface with Benue State Government to ensure restoration of peace, while dialogue had been ongoing between the Aku Uka and Tor Tiv. “Considering all these steps that have been taken so far by the State Government, it is disturbing for these hired youths in Abuja to come up with all these allegations againt Gov. Darius Ishaku and Gen. T.Y. Danjuma. “These allegations are not only misplaced but criminal in nature. We call on the relevant security agencies to invite these hired youths for interrogation. “Let these hired youths show the security agencies the various camps where they claimed Governor Darius Ishaku and General T. Y. Danjuma are training militias,” the group said. It called on all Nigerians to desist from making inflammatory statements capable of jeopardizing the peace process that is currently being pursued by the Taraba State Government.

PDP Condemns Invasion, Attack on Ishaku’s Residence

.........Charges IGP To Fish Out Culprits   BY TAIWO OGUNMOLA-OMILANI The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday condemn in totality, the invasion of the Abuja residence of Taraba state Governor, Arc. Darius Ishaku, by police operatives alleged to have been detailed by Presidential authorities.   The party in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan described the invasion as unlawful, provocative that cannot be justified under any guise whatsoever.   The PDP insisted that such assault on a governor’s residence was a direct attack on the nation’s democratic order and must not be swept under the carpet like previous invasions of residents of some PDP elected officials under the domineering All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.   "Our party holds that the invasion of Governor Ishaku’s residence is criminal and in total violation of the spirit of the immunity clause under the 1999 Constitution (as amended); a desecration of the sanctity of the government house and a rude assault on the sensibility of the people of Taraba state and Nigerians in general", it said.   According to PDP, such invasion of the resident of an elected state governor is a direct pointer that our democracy is under attack by anti-democratic forces that seek to subvert the rule of law, foist a siege mentality on the citizenry and ultimately destabilize our nation for their selfish political gains.   The PDP therefore called on the Inspector General of police to immediately fish out those behind the invasion and unravel their intensions. The party also urged the police to beef up security around Governor Ishaku and his family members as well as take steps to forestall a repeat of such unwarranted attack. The PDP however charged Governor Ishaku and all other officials elected on the platform of the party to remain undeterred in their commitment in serving the people despite the intimidations, harassments and distractions by the APC-led administration.
