Editor's note: The Senator representing Anambra north constituency, Stella Oduah, writes on joining the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA).

According to the Senator, APGA has what it take to produce a Nigerian president from the southeast.

The Igbo are the only group, among the three major ethnic groups, that have not produced a president since the return of democracy in 1999.

Also, they are the only ethnic group, among the major three, that have not produced a vice-president since 1999.

It appears the ethnic group has been consigned to the backwaters of politics and power. Sometimes, it comes third or even fourth in the matrix of power sharing. At present, the Igbo have no leverage or significant influence in the government.

In fact, they have never been so divorced from power before as they are now. Today, the highest position of authority occupied by an Igbo person is that of deputy senate president. This is in spite of the wealth of contributions of the ethnic group to the country.

However, despite the dwindled political fortunes, one thing is incontrovertible about the Igbo; they are the most intellectually sophisticated, economically empowered and politically conscious of all Nigerians. I do not subscribe to the false argument that the Igbo are not “politically alive”, because it fails in the face of intellectual interrogation.

The Igbo do not see politics as just an event; they see it as means to protect their economic interest, their land and their future.

The Igbo have no time for frivolous politics; they are not interested in any politics that does not guarantee the safety of their business, communities and lives. Also, the argument that the Igbo are not politically aware fails when it is interrogated in the crucible of history.

The Igbo ran a republican system of government, where the highest form of politicking took place, before the incursion of the British.

I have always said that despite my global orientation, the Igbo agenda and that of my core constituency will remain the centrepiece of my politics. As a senator my obligation is to my constituency, my state and Igbo-land.

What then can the Igbo do to reaffirm their place in Nigerian politics and rise to the leadership of the country? The late revered Igbo leader, Chief Odumegwu Ojukwu was prescient; he saw today, and he provided an answer.

He believed the Igbo would have political leverage in Nigeria if they identified with a political party - the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) - embraced it as their own and promoted it. Ojukwu’s wisdom is the solution to the present Igbo displacement in Nigerian politics.

I joined APGA because I believe that the party is the conscience of the Igbo, and it is the veritable platform on which the ethnic group can rise to the leadership of the country.

We must build APGA to become a force that is indispensable in the political equation of Nigeria. We must consolidate the party so that it can speak as the voice of the Igbo and also shake hands with other parties, and most importantly be at the table with the party in power to negotiate for the ethnic group.

This will remove the perception of the invisibility of the Igbo from national issues, and also discourage disparities. It will also bring renaissance to the formidable southeast politics in Nigeria.

I still believe APGA has the magic-touch to turn the south-east into a land of gold.

APGA bu nke anyi!

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has paid a visit to former vice president, Atiku Abubakar.

According to Premium Times, Kwankwaso who is a serving senator held a closed door meeting with Atiku who was also a member of the APC before he decamped to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to intensify his presidential pursuit.

There has been speculation that the Kwankwaso is also plotting a move to leave the APC as he is facing tight opposition from current Kano governor, Umaru Ganduje.

Sources claimed Kwankwaso’s visit was only to pay homage to Atiku for the Eid Il Fitr celebration as he was not in the country during that period.

The sources added that it would be clearer in the future if the meeting was related to the senator’s political future.

A source said: “They only touched on the future of Nigeria as a nation, but not necessarily their individual futures.”

Paul Ibe who is the spokesperson of the former vice president also confirmed the meeting between the duo but said there was no reason to raise any speculation as their meeting lasted for less than an hour.

Meanwhile, former chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) John Odigie-Oyegun wished his successor Adams Oshiomhole good luck as the new national leader of the party.

“I had to break my long wait at the DSS Headquarters and rushed to the senator’s residence.

He said: “this man is a known strong voice of the Igbo nation; hence this is a clamp down on the region.”

Tinubu said many people were against the formation of the APC and did all they could to stop the merger.

He alleged that the doubters forged different tactics to prevent the APC’s formation.

He said: “The doubters who gave APC no chance of existence or of continued survival have gotten their reply in full. Their envious prayers and complaints have been answered in reverse.

“They wanted to see the end of us and our pursuit of good governance for Nigeria. You should not forget, as I shall never forget, the strong efforts they made to stop us in the courts.

“There were twelve cases brought trying to stop us from merging, from registering the new party, then attempting to bar our candidate from the election.

“Lacking the courage to face the democratic will of the people, they tried to misuse the courts as a weapon against democracy.

“We thank the judiciary for following the letter and spirit of the constitution by dismissing this dirty dozen of malicious cases filed against us.

“With their schemes foiled, those who tried to destroy us must bear witness to the destruction of their edifice of corrupt governance and their dreams of unjust domination of our nation.

“While they planned a lifetime of greedy enrichment by looting the people’s resources and the public treasury for 60 years, we moved to reform the economy to bring development and aid to the poor. ”

“When they hoisted the standard of bias, we raised the flag of justice and the chevron of fairness.”

Meanwhile, Tinubu pledged his support for President Muhammadu Buhari's second term bid, saying that the president deserved a second term in office.

Let me tell u a not so short story. A few years ago, when I was 15 years old, still in secondary school, I was obsessed with Eedris Ahdulkarim, you know the kind of obsession that u talk about him 24/7 yup that was me, everybody in class called me Eedris, so one day I couldn't take it anymore, I asked Linda to help me beg Emmanuel Ugolee @Emmaugolee who was the god of entertainment tv then to introduce me to him, so Linda got Eedris' number from Emmanuel and we called Eedris. I wanted to dye!! After speaking with Eedris on the phone arhhhhaarrhhhhhh it was the best day ever! I told everybody in class that I was close to Eedris, so as an obsessed fan, I'd go to the call centre and call him every time and he was polite enough to pick. I finished secondary school and Begged to meet him which he agreed, so my sister Vera and I visited him and that was how Eedris and I became close. Now listen to the real story.

I was young, only 16, naive, new to entertainment, obsessed etc but not for 1 day did Eedris ever ever take advantage of my obsession or naivity. And he made sure that nobody from his crew took advantage of this smallie. He warned them all not to funk with me or they 're in trouble.

Eedris took me as a daughter, he mentored me and thought me how to rap. I walked, talked and rapped like Eedris hahahhaa. And when I started mixing with other celebrities, they all wanted to take advantage , they all wanted one thing, well, as per young girl wey just enter industry na, that one na sweet fish. Alot of all the celebrities I came across wanted to take advantage but not Eedris.

This man Eedris, is the reason I can beat my chest and say I never messed with any entertainer during and after my rapping days. He's one of the reasons I'm a very decent woman till date.

The End!"

- The minister of communications, Adebayo Shittu has spoken on the situation of the APC in Oyo state

- Shittu said his camp was already in court to seek a redress regarding the state congress election

- The minister noted that he was sure that justice would be done to the election

The minister of communications, Adebayo Shittu, on Sunday, June 24, vowed that the aggrieved members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Oyo state would not relent until justice prevailed.

Shittu made the remark in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) at the ongoing APC Convention venue in Abuja.

The minister, who never hides his intention to contest for the governorship seat in the state on the APC platform come 2019, has been having a running battle with governor Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo state over who controls the party’s structure in the state.

Ajimobi was reported to have said that he would not support Shittu in his bid to succeed him as governor of the state.

Against the backdrop, the recently-concluded elections to elect party’s executives in the state witnessed parallel congresses.

The minister, who said his camp was already in court to seek a redress regarding the state congress election, said he was sure that justice would be done.

‘’We are already in court. So to that extent, we will have to await the final outcome. There has been disagreement as to the congresses which we held.

‘’You remember there were parallel congresses. Parallel congresses because those who never bought forms for ward congress eventually are the ones who have been sworn in as the state’s executives of the party.

‘’Obviously that is injustice by the party. So we, loyal members, who have made effort to build this party, we have taken this disagreement to court and we believe that justice will be done at the end of the day.”

He, however, assured that despite the development in the state, his loyalty to President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC was still hundred per cent.

‘’If my loyalty is not 100%, I won’t be here. Nobody forced me to be here. My loyalty is to the president and to the party.

‘’Those who are creating problems for us in Oyo state are not the founders of the party. They are not the reason why we are in APC.

‘’We are in APC as foundation members and by the grace of God, my loyalty is 100% to the party because I believe, at the end of the day, what the temporary executives of the party have not been able to do, the court will do it for us.”

Shittu, who described the party’s convention as a success, commended the security agencies for what he called ‘’a wonderful job.”

"When (General) Murtala (Muhammed) died, Abiola came in with a claim that he was owed, I think, about N45 billion for contracts executed by International Telephone and Telecommunication for the Ministry of Communications.

The military high command at that time said no. He went round the Emirs in the North to lobby and the emirs asked that they (military) should please pay the money.

"Those who were close to Abacha should know this, because Abacha was then one of the big shots; they were all aware. There was this Bosnian war going on in Yugoslavia. I said sir; the Nigerian people are very innocent. This is like the case of a Bosnian woman rapped by a Christian Serb who got pregnant.

Yes, it is true that the pregnancy is a product of raape but this is also my flesh and blood, I cannot kill it. This (election) is my baby, my flesh and blood, I will not kill it. I said so.

We went through a process and expenditure, the campaign, the election day and even the entire government machinery was involved in the election which we won and you are now coming with the excuse that you owed some money.

That’s your problem. The baby is my baby. Yes, it is a product of raape but I can’t kill it. At that time, the Nigerian mood had been worked to go against June 12," Lamido added.
