PDP Differs With Orubebe’s Outburst

The National publicity secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh has said that the party subscribes to recognised disciplined means to express it’s concerns.
Metuh reacted to the outburst of their party agent Elder Godsday Orubebe, who held the whole country and those watching beyond the shores of the country, to ransom,  at the INEC collation center this morning. Metuh said that;

“In a democratic process, we must follow democratic channels. Yesterday we questioned the opposition party about certain things they had done to challenge states. We expect our members to follow the same process as well.
“This party has a tradition of decency and will follow democratic channels to lay complaints. Ours is to protest and make our voices heard through recognized channels and wait for democratic process to be followed. We directed our members that everyone should conduct himself within democratic norms and principles. That is all we have to say about that.” he said

How Nigeria recovers from the effects of the infection will depend on the innovations we are willing to introduce and the reforms we are committed to implementing in the various sectors of our society.

Why We Must Implement Diaspora Voting System By Hon. Alex Obi-Osuala

Image
Diaspora votes must count in Nigeria. This is my position/opinion. If not because of the dubious nature of the officials in the government of Nigeria, one does not see any reason why Nigerians in Diaspora shouldn’t be voting as done in most countries of the world. Their votes would have been making a great difference, and give them a sense of belonging and participation in the affairs of the nation.
