Nigerian Leaders Must Make Personal Sacrifices, PDP Tells Jonathan, Other Elected Officials
The ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), today called on President Goodluck Jonathan and other elected members of the party to be ready to make personal sacrifices and self-denial.
The party said in an unusual statement signed by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, this is what Nigerians expect from them as their leaders.
It also said that underperforming elected officials of the party in public offices would not be allowed to fly the party’s flag in 2015, an unprecedented acknowledgement that some of its officials have failed to live up to public expectation.
“The 2015 re-election ticket for its members would be anchored strongly on credible performance while non–performing appointed officials would be shown the way out as well as be blacklisted,” the statement said.
Issued to mark the party’s 14th anniversary next Friday, the statement called on its members in public offices to go the extra mile in ensuring the “faithful and accelerated translation of its manifesto” in order to meet what it called the “burgeoning expectations” of Nigerians.
“Our focus on the performance chart of our members in government is a crucial pedestal to achieving our pact with the people whose mandate we have,” it stated.
It further said, “Those who have been lukewarm; those on the borders of average must wake to the reality that the re-awakened destiny of our party, the pact which gave us mass appeal, is leaving them behind. The choice is to shape in or ship out.”
This is the first time the party has ever placed the indivisibility of the party on the line or “demanded” performance of its elected officials.
Analysts told SaharaReporters in response that the recent Edo State elections gubernatorial contest, in which the PDP was electorally buried in every community statewide by the respected performance of Governor Adams Oshiomhole, may have generated panic in the national rhetoric of the party.
“The PDP is clearly beginning to feel the heat, to recognize that it can no longer take the people for granted at the polls, especially where rigging is limited,” one of them said. “The question is whether it is too late, especially at the centre, to which the party’s “demand” for performance ought to resonate clearly.”
Another political analyst said the PDP was simply playing games, and is neither capable of change nor interested in it.
“This is not a party capable of change unless it is taught a historic lesson by voters in a free and open burial as in the case of Edo State,” he said, asking, “Do you think the patient knows his condition is terminal, or merely thinks it is a cold day today?”
a wake up call to tambuwal and his gangsters
Is the PDP talking about Tambuwal or what? Members of the PDP are their own enemies. They operate as as they are in the opposition. As a matter of fact GEJ is more like the chairman, Secretary, and PRO of the PDP. I hardly see buhari defend the party except during some fake courtesy calls arranged to remind of his leadership of the party-In ACN its usually Lai Mohamed who does most of the dirty jobs 4 his party. He is out everyday picking holes in the policies and plans of pdp-while Tukur and his group relaxes like the sultans of the party-nobody is strong enough to openly defend the party as Lai Mohamed does with ACN. They hardly ever talk or challenge the opposition to a dual of ideas. Until they are strong enough to defend the president, they should forget 2015. The name of the GEJ has been damaged enough by the baboons in the PDP. Its time 4 them to wake up from their their Fulani North first, South last slumber-which the opposition is exploiting to their advantage.
Your Weapon is your Vote
The emancipation of the public in regard to the awareness of good governance is on the upswing. The last Edo state governorship election shows that the only yardstick for hiring a public official must be performance and nothing but performance. The PDP before and during that election, came out with their usually distribution of rice, “Ghana must go" bags, presidential visit and even totted the BINI Man nepotism syndrome to divide the people. All attempt failed to sway the voters!!! Nigerians must wake up. God is never coming down to do it for no one. The weapon is your vote, use it and defend it. PDP has seen the handwriting on the wall, hence these warnings.
Trust God at all times
Never give up, because God will never disappoint you. Man wants immediate answer and impatient, for we want immediate answer. If birds are alive without making provision, imagine Man. Our problems are leadership qualities. Look at corruption prosecution and investigation going on in the country. 'Love thy neighbour as thyself' but what does Man do, they accumulate so much wealth and deprive fellow neighbours of their needs. Look around you and you will see the accumulation of wealth by an individuail meant for his or her fellow humans e.g James Ibori and oil subsidy fraud investigation or prosecution cases, 'untouchable individuals' going on in the country. God will never forget you and your bread will be buttered at His own time. Trust God at all times.
JIKI MA GAYI
"JIKI MA GAYI"
GEN. BUHARI
I REMEMBER THE POPULAR SAYING OF BUHARI WHEN HE WAS ASKED ABOUT NATIONAL ISSUES AFTER LOSING TO OBJ, HE USUALLY REPLY "JIKI MA GAYI" A REFERENCE TO WHAT THE HAUSA TELL A STUBBORN CHILD WHEN HE IS BEING NAUGHTY. "JIKINKA YA GAYA MAKA" OR "YOUR BODY WILL TELL YOU" A VEILED THREAT OF A SOUND BEATING. NIGERIANS HAVE BEEN BEATEN SOUNDLY BY THE RULING CLASS, A NEW APPROACH IS NECESSARY IF THEY ARE TO CONTINUE TO TORTURE NIGERIANS. SETTLEMENT OF INFLUENCIAL PEOPLE FROM ALL REGIONS AND MASSIVE RIGGING USING STATE APPARATUS HAVE BEEN THE TWO WAYS PDP HAS REMAIN IN POWER. STATE POWER HAS BEEN ERODE BY BOKO HARAM, ND MILITANTS, KIDNAPPERS AND THE GENEARAL LACK OF CONFIDENCE IN LEADERS BY NIGERIANS. THE VIOLENCE AFTER THE LAST ELECTION AND THE RESULTS FROM EDO ALL PROVES THAT INFLUENTIAL INDIVIDUALS NATIONWIDE WHO CANT SAVE THEIR FOLLOWERSHIP FROM CONSEQUENT HARDSHIP AS A RESULT OF RIGGING, HAVE ALSO LOST RESPECT.
WHAT?
Is sacrifice written in the constitution of the party? Or did Metu mean 'Safe Scarcity'? PDP is full of clawns. Alkali left and Metu comes.
tell it to tukur and tambuwal
The man is a fool-why should PDP warn its ppl when their leaders in the House are the ones working with the opposition to sack the president. Its therefore silly for the PDP to warn its leadership-this is an internal matter. They were not supposed to go public with it. For now as thing stand, the PDP is working secretly to produce a president from the so called opposition party.
TELL MARK,TAMBUWAL AND CO:THIER SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES INSANE
The PDP is a destructive and extremely corrupt political party.Mark,Tambuwal and other legislators all approved salaries and allowances several times the pay of Barrack Obama the President of the worlds riches nation and this man is talking about personal sacrifice,keep deceiving yourself.
The PDP basically considers all Nigerians as imbeciles,keep your plundering and pillaging of the economy in full gear,keep telling us silly stories about sacrifice.EVERY DAY FOR THE THIEF.....
PDP can play all the games they like, Nigerians are wiser.
PDP can play all the games they like, Nigerians are wiser. We all know GEJ is useless and PDP will be out by 2015, let them return the animal to the zoo in Otuoke !
Heve d poor masses not sacrificed enough 4 9ja since 1960
NIGER Delta leaders, especially ex-creek warlords, on Sunday, came down hard on orchestrators of reports alleging that an annual payment of N5.6 billion was being paid by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) to some ex-agitators in the region to protect pipelines. Mujaheed Dokubo-Asari, founder of the defunct Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND), Chief Government Ekpomupolo (a.k.a Tompolo), as well as his Western Fringe commander, Chief Bibopiri Ajube (General Shoot-at-sight), all challenged America’s Wall Street Journal and its Nigerian collaborators to show proof of such payments.Besides, the ex-militants alleged that the report was the brainchild of “northern power mongers,” whose intention was not only to blackmail President
Retreat na shit
PDP saw something ahead that it no longer win. Or divide and rule along ethnic, religious, sectional line. The people of Edo show dem pepper no be small. They say no to court coz the fail woefully.
masses to make personal sacrifice for Nigerian Summer/Spring
I disagree with this narrative. IT IS THE MASSES THAT MUST MAKE PERSONAL SACRIFICE AND EMBARK FOR A TOTAL NIGERIAN SUMMER LIKE EGYPT ANG TUNISIA; and our SUMMER must be without any foreign nations or organizations. If the masses make that personal sacrifice, the new breed leaders will sack all the political thieves (old and new school), economic meanders and thieves in the banking and oil industries, and re-new the commitment of the poor in agriculture, fishing and mining, for the emancipation of the new young generation and those unborn. SACRIFICE MUST COME FROM THE MASSES AT THE GRASSROOT AND ACCROSS ALL TRIBES AND RELIGIONS. It is US (the poor and vulnerable) VERSUS them (the politically stupendous rich, and politically corrupt lawyers and business men and bankers).
everything most come to an
everything most come to an end,ringin election most stop in the country,religion,ethnic,region or zone most come to an end.social network wil help us to elect leaders who are ready to save nt to be saved.
down with pdp.
On performance?! Then all presently "selected" pdp officials from presido down must not be allowed to compete. But Will rather live though with jona than have a raghead Islamic terrorist as president.
The result will soon be out
Reality begins to catch up with them. They have started seeing handwriting on the wall.
We are waiting for their drama because in Nigeria political arena, failure terms as an achievement. Bunch of looters
The truth is that in a free
The truth is that in a free and fair election, I do not know which state in Nigeria will vote pdp to win. May be the niger delta states. Outside of these, the rogue party will be roundly beaten, just like in the last Edo election. They have already destroyed this country and it will take equal number of years to bring it back to where it was in 1999. It is a pity. God Almighty will never forgive obasanjo for destroying Nigeria with his military democracy he introduced and nurtured since 1999.
IS THIS FROM THEIR MINDS OR LIPS
This is the best thing that could come out of the mouth of PDP since the party was formed. I am not sure the Jonathan will ever accept this speak. he will rather call for the head of Metu. Lets watch and see
sacrfice
it seems to me this government of PDP don't have any blue print guiding them as to how to manage this country. what best it represent is like a taxi driver set out in the morning without a particular destination. I thought by now we should be on auto cruise? PDP don't patronize us, snake no dey born anything wey short
Alla thanks be to God that the cult group have start scatter.
Nigerians will never witness anything good until PDP scatter completely, all thanks be to God as we start to hear these revelation.
