Who the cap fits let him wear it - The Princewill

Prince Tonye Princewill will succeed Gov. Amaechi of Rivers state as the next governor.
Goodluck jonathan is a popular candidate as a presidential aspirant, so is PTP the most credible candidate
for PDP in Rivers state guber 2015.

THE JOURNEY BEGINS: PDP needs to sit up.

First of all I am pleased to confirm to you all that in the early hours of Friday the 24th of October, 2014; Prince Tonye Princewill received his PDP Nomination and Expression of Interest forms, to contest the Governorship primaries in Rivers State. To clear all doubt; his PDP forms were delivered to him at his Abuja residence, not by old men, or a paid crowd; but by responsible youths. Hungry for the type of change and leadership we really need in Rivers State. With the commitment and help of those who truly love Rivers state, this change will come.

This is a new beginning. The opportunity to retrace the path of our dear state is here. The journey ahead will be tough, but I assure you, it will be worth it. Tonye urges his supporters to focus on the uncertainties ahead and not the certainties behind. Others can enjoy being Goliaths, but we should just remain like Davids. We can’t overemphasize the fact that politics is too important to be left to politicians. This is gradually sinking into the minds of many, making our Nigerian politics more a one man, one vote scenario. People matter; we in Team Princewill have always known that and now the politicians all over will know it too.

The just concluded APC rally was attended by many thousands of people. Speculations have it that the well attended rally, would intimidate Prince Tonye and his fellow PDP members. Prince Tonye Princewill is clearly stating that, "We are not. Instead we are actually encouraged and happy to see how the people's interest in politics is increasing". “Some of us know how to fill up a stadium; but the question on the ground is how we impact the lives of the citizens. How can we fill up their empty stomachs? How many real jobs could the Millions of Naira spent to hold that rally have created? No wonder some jobless politicians prefer war. This is their political equivalent of a security vote.”

“Paying thousands to gather, flying in political leaders from all over, throwing around political insults and attacks will not change the fortune of your Rivers people. Commitment to the people is primary and cannot be clouded with fanfare and bad language. We are here to improve the future of Rivers State politics! We are here to give the people a voice! Politics here has to start to work for the people and we are here to make sure that happens. For me though, the rally is a message to PDP that politics is no longer business as usual.”

On the state of the party in the state, the Prince wants to make it clear that the attempt to disregard our cultural diversity in Rivers state will not end well and will only spell doom for PDP's prospects. All attempts to drive this point home have yielded no result, so as a Kalabari Prince and a major stakeholder in the state, the Prince wishes to sound this final call. "Respect our people's wishes and level the playing field or else, the stakeholders of the state will be forced to do it for you."

"We have faced a similar situation in the past. The record books are there to show how it was reversed. The history of Rivers state is clear. Goliath never wins David. A word is enough for the wise. Let the number of aspirants and their cultural distribution, be a marker. Real leaders make tough decisions. It is time to see who the real leaders are.”

Nigerian nurse dies of Ebola

A Nigerian nurse who treated Patrick Sawyer has died from Ebola virus, the Nigerian government has confirmed.
The Minister of Health, Onyebuchi Chukwu, also confirmed that five more people tested positive to the virus.
All six who tested positive, including the late nurse, were in primary contact with the Liberian American, Mr. Sawyer, who died in a Lagos hospital late July after arriving from Liberia.
The nurse is the first Nigerian to die from Ebola. The minister did not provide further details about her identity ostensibly for fears her family might be stigmatized.
The Nigerian government has asked the U.S. Centre for Disease Control to provide it with the experimental drug being administered on the two American doctors infected in Liberia.
Both are said to be responding to treatment.
Mr. Chukwu, at a press briefing on Wednesday morning, demanded state governments to open up more isolation centres to contain people who might need to be treated or isolated.
He said the government would stop at nothing to contain the spread of Ebola.
Mr. Chukwu also said the 24 hours Emergency Operations Centre being established would be fully functional by Thursday. It will be headed by Faisal Shuaibu, a doctor.
Read full statement below:
Press Statement By The Honourable Minister Of Health, Professor C. O. Onyebuchi Chukwu On The 6th Of August, 2014 At The Federal Ministry Of Health, Abuja.
Update On The Status Of Ebola Virus Disease In Nigeria
Nigeria has now recorded seven (7) confirmed cases of Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).
The first one was the index case-the imported case from Liberia of which the victim is now late.
Yesterday, 5th August, 2014, the first known Nigerian to die of the EVD was recorded and this was one of the nurses that attended to the Liberian. The other five cases are currently being treated at the isolation ward in Lagos.
It is pertinent to note that:

• All the Nigerians diagnosed of the EVD were primary contacts of the index case.
• The 24/7 Emergency Operations Centre which I intimated you of in my last press conference will be fully functional by tomorrow. It will be headed by Dr. Faisal Shuaibu as the Incident Manager. He will later today lead a six-man inter-agency team drawn from National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), the US CDC, the WHO, UNICEF and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to Lagos to complete the setting up of the Centre. They will be joined by the other personnel from the Lagos State Government and the federal hospitals in the Lagos area as well as the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control.

I have also appointed a Director of Communication and Community Mobilization who will be based in Lagos- Prof. O. Onajole of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital.
We are embarking on recruiting additional health personnel to strengthen the team who are currently managing the situation in Lagos.
We are making arrangements to procure isolation tents to quicken the pace of providing isolation wards in all the states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
We are also setting up a special team to provide counseling and psychosocial support to patients, identified contacts and their families.
Within the week, the Honourable Minister of Information and I would be visiting Lagos State to assess the situation on ground.
I wish to once again reassure Nigerians that the Government is working hard to ensure the containment of the outbreak.
Thank you.

Oyinlola writes Jonathan, narrates how President forced him out of PDP

The former Osun governor said the president feared his closeness to Obasanjo despite pleas by Messrs. Anenih and Mark.

Six days before he defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, a former National Secretary of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, wrote a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan. In the letter, the former Osun governor accused the president of frustrating him out of the PDP despite his efforts to prove his loyalty to Mr. Jonathan.

In the letter dated July 30, Mr. Oyinlola told Mr. Jonathan that ‘it would be fatal if the former governor did not think seriously about his political career and take a decisive step to salvage it.

Mr. Oyinlola, a former governor of Osun State, decamped to the APC at the party’s mega rally in Osogbo held for the re-election of the state governor, Rauf Aregbesola, Tuesday.

Mr. Aregbesola, then of the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, assumed office in 2010 when Mr. Oyinlola was sacked by the Court of Appeal sitting in Ibadan. The court ruled that ACN candidate won the 2007 governorship election.

Mr. Oyinlola, who ruled Osun State for about six years, became the national secretary of the PDP at the party’s national convention in 2012, but was also sacked by the Federal High Court, Abuja in January 2013 for being improperly elected to the position.

He appealed the judgement and won, but made unsuccessful attempts to return to the office. Part of the efforts was the July 1 meeting he had with Mr. Jonathan, who is the leader of the PDP, and Adamu Mu’azu, the party’s National Chairman at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

In the letter to Mr. Jonathan, with reference number 00/PDP/5, Mr. Oyinlola, a retired brigadier general, said the president was aware of the repeated efforts he and other leaders of the party made to return to his office as the national secretary of the ruling party, but that he (president) learnt the president was doubtful of his loyalty because of his closeness to former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

Among the party leaders that pleaded to the president on his behalf apart from Mr. Mu’azu, according to Mr. Oyinlola, are the Senate President, David Mark, and the Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the PDP, Tony Anenih.

He said, “Your Excellency, you are very conversant of all efforts made by me and very importantly, by respected leaders of the party to get this matter resolved and truly reconcile all aggrieved parties. I, however, learnt that you were not sure of my support for you, given my closeness to former President Olusegun Obasanjo hence the decision to disallow me from returning to my legally recognized position as the National secretary of the PDP.”

“I have met you on several occasions on this matter to pledge my loyalty. At my last meeting with you, which was at the instance of the party’s National chairman, Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu, you requested that I be part of the ongoing Osun State governorship campaigns. Mr. President would remember that I stated that the minimum the party leadership could do to get me to campaign was to instruct the Ogun State chapter of the party to withdraw its appeal at the Supreme Court; or alternatively, obey the Appeal Court order, and allow me to resume duty, the same way the party obeyed the faulty Federal High Court verdict that ousted me.”

“To the foregoing, I wish to state that I was promised some positive response which never came, up till this moment. The Chairman of the party’s Board of Trustees, Chief Tony Anenih CFR, has also on several occasions, after discussing me, met with Your Excellency on this matter assuring you of my loyalty to you and to the cause of the party. I am also aware that the Senate President, Senator David Mark, GCON, has similarly met with you and made a case for my return to office. Senator Mark went to the extent of asking you to hold him responsible for all actions I might take as National Secretary.”

“Mr. President, allow me to state with emphasis that what joins Senator Mark and my humble-self is more than politics. The military family that binds us does not know double-dealing or disloyalty. A part of our training, we keep our words, hence we are called “Gentlemen Officers.”

“That precisely was why the Senate President could most frontally vouch for me. Your Excellency, allow me to also recall that on three occasions, Senator Mark informed that I had agreed to submit to you a pre-signed resignation letter, if that would allay all fears of insincerity; and all, in a bid to ensure that the injustice of my illegal removal from office is redressed.”

“I wish to respectfully state that I do not go back on my words, just like I don’t abandon my friends, associates and leaders, no matter how hard the situation might be. That explains why as a State Governor, I remained very loyal to my boss, former President Ibrahim Babangida, GCFR, even when he had some issues with the government of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, I wish to respectfully recall very respectfully, that Chief Obasanjo never made any attempt to move against me on account of these differences.”

“The same spirit today drives me as I maintain my loyalty to former President Obasanjo, who may, or who may not have any relationship with your government. It was that same spirit that made me insist on your approval of my candidature, in your capacity as national leader of the party and president, before I agreed with my brother-governors request in 2012, to contest for the position of PDP National Secretary. I should like to state that I am not a fair-weather fellow. To my friends, the spirit is very similar to marital vow.”

Mr. Oyinlola regretted that despite all the efforts to reinstate him, the president was not totally convinced that he could be loyal. He added that it was this kind of mindset that was at the root of his challenges in the PDP.

“Mr. President, I wish to observe that with all these efforts by me and other credible leaders of our party, it appears clearly to me that you are not totally convinced that I am who I have always been in my journey through life,” the former governor said.

“I have, therefore, come to the conclusion that it is this mindset that is at the root of my challenges in PDP. It seems to me that I am not wanted by the national leader of the party; and I know that.

“Therefore, I will certainly not be doing myself justice and good, despite everything, if I don’t think seriously about my political journey and take a firm decision. Mr. President, I may at this point, need to look beyond the party and take my destiny in my hands. I sincerely hope that this will solve the problem. “Conclusively, Your Excellency, if I am doing the above and take further steps without telling you, I would be negating the pledge of loyalty which I had earlier made to you; hence this correspondence to Mr. President.”

It is not clear if Mr. Jonathan replied the letter before Mr. Oyinlola defected to the APC.
