APC Merger In Jeopardy, As CPC Declares Regristration Certificate Missing

The APC merger is facing a new dimension of trouble as the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) has written to the Nigeria Police Force complaining over the theft of its original party registration certificate issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

The letter of complaint was said to have been written by the National Secretary of the party, Engr. Buba Galidima to the Utako police station in the Federal Capital (FCT).

Confirming the move by the party's leadership Tuesday, the National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin told our reporter in a telephone interview that the party took the step to report the enstranged pioneer national chairman, Senator Rufai Hanga to the police for illegally withholding the certificate.

“Yes, the party has reported to the police over its missing certificate of registration which the former chairman, Senator Hanga has been keeping illegally since he was eased out of office,” he said.
One of the critical elements in the on-going political party merger processes, which the oppositon coalition is embarking on, is the requirement that each of the parties should be ready to submit back to INEC its original certificate of registration.

However, our reporter gathered that as part of measures to ensure that the opposition merger does not suffer any set-back, the CPC leaders decided to seek the assistance of the police to help retrieve the party's certificate said to be “missing” from their archives.
It was learnt that Galadima had requested the police to give the party a covering note, which would enable it apply for a certified true copy from INEC.

But contrary to Galadima’s position, the aggrieved faction of the party led by Hanga said the original registration certificate had always been in their possession since the inception of the party

The spokesman of the Hanga-led faction, Chief Dennis Ahganya told our reporter that the group was in rightful custody of the certificate since they have a pending court action challenging the authenticity of the Prince Tony Momoh-led national executive of the CPC.

“This is criminality as a result of desperation, even when it was deposed to in all our affidavits that the original certificate is with us and the copy is attached. INEC is not stupid to fall for such gimmicks,” he said.

Aghanya recalled that Fashakin had in one of his recent press statements claimed that the original certificate was with the national leader of the party, Major-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and wondered how the certificate suddenly went missing from their archives.

“We are still waiting to see how many more lies they will tell to cover up all their lies. We are not against the merger, although we were not carried along by those championing the cause.

“But we are determined to claim our party and ensure that it is well repositioned for all subsequent elections, including the Anambra State governorship election in September 2013,” he said.

Aghanya said his group also intends to visit the National Assembly leadership to plead with them and remind them of the damage they are doing to the image of the country’s democracy by not readmitting the CPC parliamentary members from Katsina State who were returned by the court.

Is Genevieve Nnaji Begging D'banj To Take Her Back?

Recently, the Kokomaster, D'banj, made a public confession that he's still single and looking for a good woman to make his wife. Since then, "Busy body" reliably gathered that actress Genevieve Nnaji has been making frantic efforts to get back into the arms of the super star.A source, who is an insider in D'banj's camp, said Genevieve and D'banj never really had a quarrel but that she was complaining too much because of the many ladies around him. D'banj, he said, got tired of her drama and simply ignored her. Now she wants to come back by all means..

Genny just clocked 34 and its obvious she can't just settle with any guy from the street corner; her man has to be someone with some level of class. I hear she made contacts with D'banj at least three times in the last days of April but D'banj is still having some reservations.

One of his concerns, the source told Olufamous, is that Genny is too nosy and always wants to know everything going on. D'banj is the cool type who doesn't like talking too much so he's kind of having a hard time accepting her back, even though he sure needs a woman now.

There is also the issue of age difference; D'banj will be 33 in June but Genevieve is already 34. She is said to playing the card of 'age is just a number' but D'banj is still taking his time, as the handsome groom.

APC Governors Grows To 23 - Gov Okorocha

Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has said that about 23 governors are in All Progressives Congress (APC) even as eight Governors attended the Imo Freedom Rally.

Okorocha, who disclosed this during the rally at the Heroes Square,Owerri, yesterday, said that the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), is not joining any political party nor is it in alliance but in a merger to form a new party called the APC.

He said that it was a matter of time for the APC to take over every level of governance in the country, and said that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has failed the people for the 12 years of democracy. He said the entire Ndigbo are for the APC.

He said the people stood behind him in 2011 when the powerful forces in the state polity opposed it,  and stressed that the mandate represent freedom from the oppression of the past.
 He said the Freedom Day became possible because, “When the great and mighty said no you stood behind me; by this singular gesture power has returned to the people,” he added.

The governors, who took turn to speak berated the PDP style of leadership stressing that APC was poised
to give Nigeria better leadership.

In his comment, Lagos State Governor Mr. Babatunde Fashola described APC as “great train of change.” According to him, “We have set about a course irrevocable committed to giving power back to the people.”
Also speaking, Governor of Oyo State, Senator Abiola Ajimobi, said the PDP has transformed from People Deceiving People to People Destroying People, therefore the only option left to salvage the nation was APC.

In his speech, Borno State Governor Ibrahim Shetima, said that the exceptional performance of the merger Governors were testimonies to how great the country would be if APC emerged the ruling party and urged the people to support the party for their good.

Ogun State Governor Ibikunle Amosun, said that they were pleased to see that the performance of the Imo State Governor was real and concrete and not a newspaper achievement.
Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State said the performance of Governor Okorocha,“Was just the beginning of what the people will witness in terms of development, and noted that it was worth celebrating..

Governor Fayemi Kayode of Ekiti State, observed that  God gave them the victory originally throughthe people, adding that “a time like this calls for visionary leaders as seen in all the states where the APC are holding sway.” No amount of intimidation will deter us from working together to salvage the country, he added.

Osun Governor Rauf Aregbesola described APC as a bulldozer that would crush everything on its way including the PDP. Comrade Adams Oshiomole of Edo State said when he led a protest of workers to the state as a labour leader he met a state with filthy streets dilapidated infrastructure but now everything in Imo State has changed. He said that was an example of how Nigeria will look like in every area of national life when APC becomes the ruling party.

Mewanwhile, the APC governors have criticised the situation in Rivers State, saying that it is inappropriate for certain forces to intimidate the Governor Rotimi Amaechi - led administration.

Nigeria Military Jet Crashes In Niger Republic, Two Killed

A Nigerian Air Force warplane crashed in Niger on Monday, and two of its pilots were killed. The aircraft was conducting a military operations in neighbouring Mali, and the two pilots were killed, Nigeria's army said in a statement.

The fighter jet was part of Nigeria's air fleet engaged with an African force battling hardline Islamists in Mali. An army source in Niamey said it had suffered a "mechanical" problem.

"A Nigerian Air Force Alpha jet aircraft on a non-combattant mission crashed today at Dargol village...The two pilots on board the fighter jet died," the Nigerian defence headquarters said in a statement.
The jet is one of four Nigerian aircraft based in Niamey as part of of the Africa-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA), it said, adding that the crash was being investigated.

French and Chadian planes and US drones have used the Niamey airport as a base for their operations in Mali.

The 6,000-strong AFISMA has taken over the lead from France in supporting Mali's army in the battle against Al-Qaeda-linked extremists.

A French-led operation launched in January drove the Islamists from key cities they had seized in northern Mali. But the Islamists have turned to suicide bombings and guerrilla attacks in reclaimed territory.

AFISMA will eventually be incorporated into a 12,600-strong peacekeeping force, following a UN resolution in April
