The ongoing leadership tussle rocking the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has intensified as the self-imposed chairman, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, fired back at the governors elected on the platform of the party.
The Nation reports that Gulak, who is the former political adviser to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan, in a statement issued on Thursday, January 28, defied the directive from PDP governors asking him to allow the party’s national secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo to take over as the national chairman.
The PDP governors had initially directed the acting national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, to hand over to Oladipo, after Gulak invaded the party’s secretariat on Wednesday, January 27 and installed himself as the party’s chairman.
Gulak in reaction to the governors directive, said they were misadvised to have asked Oladipo to take over as the party’s national chairman.
“This is not only contrary to the Constitution of the PDP 2012 as amended, it is in flagrant contempt of the declarative judgment given by the FCT High Court on the 16th day of December, 2015 which clearly states “that under section 47 (6) of the 1st defendant’s (PDP) constitution, upon the resignation of the former National Chairman of the 1st defendant (PDP) from office, only, the plaintiff (Alhaji Barr. Ahmed Ali Gulak) or any other eligible members of the 1st defendant (PDP) from the North-East zone of Nigeria, where the said Chairman of the 1st defendant (PDP) originated is eligible to be appointed to act in that office pending elections into that office,” he said.
The former political adviser further explained that the national secretary is prohibited by the party’s constitution to chair the National Executive Committee (NEC), the National Working Committee (NWC) and the caucuses of the PDP.
Gulak insisted that it is only the national chairman that can chair the above mentioned organs of the party.
“It is therefore clear that from the statement of the Chairman, PDP Governor’s Forum that the office of the National Chairman was vacant. And this has been cured by the pronouncement of the FCT High Court, Abuja.

“The National Chairman uses this opportunity to appeal to our teeming members nationwide to remain calm and rally round this new leadership so that peace may reign in our party and together we will reposition our party on the path of glory.
“The National Chairman of PDP has profound respect for the Chairman of the PDP Governor’s Forum and all its members,” Gulak said.
Recall that the internal feud rocking the PDP stared after Ahmed Ali Gulak, the former political adviser to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan assumed the chairmanship of the party with effect from Wednesday, December 30. The spokesman of Gulak, Ochuba Emmanuel, said the ex-political adviser had even cancelled the congress being planned by the sacked acting chairman, Uche Secondus.
The former political adviser few weeks ago, urged the PDP board of trustees to elect a new national chairman, since Uche Secondus has been asked by the court to vacate the office. He made the call after he observed that the party has no properly constituted organ and no national chairman or acting chairman.
Gulak, who seems to be deliberately stepping on toes had earlier stated that former president Goodluck Jonathan, cannot escape culpability in the ongoing investigation on how $2.1 billion arms deal fund was spent.

BOKO HARAM

Boko Haram is a terrorist organization with its roots in northeastern Nigeria, linked to insurgency stemming from north Cameroon and Niger Republic.

"Boko Haram" is a Hausa name which translates roughly as "Western education is forbidden," while the real Arabic name translates as "The Congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism and Jihad".

The sect was founded in 2002 by the late Mohammed Yusuf who was captured and executed by Nigerian security forces in 2009. Until the government clamped down on the sect’s activities in 2009, the operations conducted by the sect were more or less peaceful. Since Abubakar Shekau, a former deputy to Yusuf’s era, violent attacks have escalated in terms of both frequency and intensity.

The sect seeks to establish a "pure" Islamic state ruled by sharia, putting a stop to what it deems Westernization. It proposes that interaction with the Western world is forbidden, and also supports opposition to the Muslim establishment and the government of Nigeria.

The group is known for attacking Christians, Muslim clerics and government targets, as well as for bombing churches, mosques, schools and police stations. The group is also notorious for kidnappings.

Violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2002 and 2013.

On November 13, 2013 the United States government designated the group a terrorist organization. On 22 May 2014, the United Nations Security Council added Boko Haram to its list of designated al-Qaeda entities, bringing "funding, travel and weapons sanctions" against the terrorist group.

On 22 May 2014 Boko Haram was officially declared a terrorist group affiliated to Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb by the United Nations Security Council. International sanctions including asset freeze, travel ban and arms embargo were imposed against the Islamist extremist group.

It was reported in August 2013 that Shekau had been shot and deposed by members of his sect, but he survived.

He has taken responsibility for the April 2014 kidnapping of over 200 school girls. On 6 May 2014, eight more girls were kidnapped by suspected Boko Haram gunmen.

Funding sources for Boko Haram are not certain, but is believed to be partially funded by bank robberies and by other Islamist groups.

FREEDOM IS A NECESSITY

The right of self-determination is enshrined in International law and it is guaranteed by every moral stricture called man.

           It is a right that has been exercised successfully over and over again in world history and it has led to the creation of new nations which were carved out of the older ones. The denial of that right and the suppression and persecution of those who attempt to exercise it leads to nothing but defiance, dissent and resistance and, if not properly managed, it eventually spills over into war and carnage.

This has been the primary cause of most brutal civil wars, including the American, Russian, French, English, Indian, Nigerian, Angola, to mention but a few. I do not believe in violent change and neither do I believe in war, revolution, terror or the use of arms in the pursuance of even the most noble cause.

          I do however believe in the power of ideas and the right of any man, woman or people to yearn to be free from bondage and to peacefully and freely express that yearning. It is in this context that I situate my belief and support for those that view the Nigerian Federation as an oppressive entity which have effectively enslaved its people in an attempt to create what is essentially an artificial and unworkable state.

        Those that belief in Nigeria have every right to continue to do so and to voice their resolve to keep Nigeria one. what they do not have the right to do is to refuse to offer the same degree of freedom of expression to those that do not believe in a united Nigeria and who instead believe in the peaceful dissolution of the multi-nation to speak their minds and voice their views. What is good for the goose is surely good for the gander.

17yr-old Boy Defiles His Younger Sister and Neighbours Daughter..

LAGOS—A 17-year-old teenager, identified as Tobi George, is currently being investigated by the police at Alakara Division, Lagos, for allegedly defiling a minor on Ogunfunmi Street, Surulere.
It was learned that the act, which had become a recurrence, started sometime ago, after the victim and her younger sister began to stay in the suspect’s house on return from school.
Vanguard gathered that trouble started on July 13, when the victim’s younger sister innocently revealed to her class teacher, during a lesson on sex education, that their neighbour’s son, Tobi, did to her sister what she was teaching her and her classmates.
Startled by the revelation, the teacher invited the victim’s parents to school and informed them of what their daughter had said.
The victim, thereafter, told her parents that the suspect threatened to kill her if she ever told anyone what he was doing to her.
It was learned that the suspect took advantage of the victim, who normally stayed in his house with her younger sister after they closed from school, pending when their parents would return from school at about 6p.m.
The parents immediately took her to Good Tidings Hospital where several tests carried out revealed that the victim had been sexually abused repeatedly, as her hymen had been broken.
Alarmed by the discovery, the parents, Mr and Mrs Adedoyin, went to the suspect’s parents to report the issue.
Parents of the suspect were said to have gone wild and threatened to inflict injury on the victim’s mother.
Vanguard learned that Tobi, who had defiled his younger sister, was in the habit of sexually abusing other young girls in the vicinity.
The suspect has been arrested and the case is currently being investigated at Alakara Police Division.
Confirming the incident, Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Kenneth Nwosu, said he would get back to Vanguard, but had not done so at press time.
