Nigerians Have Made Up Their Minds To Vote Atiku, PDP Replies Buhari


The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has replied President Muhammadu Buhari saying that Nigerians have made up their minds to vote Atiku Abubakar as their next President.

The party stated this in a statement on Wednesday through its Director Media and Publicity, Presidential Campaign Organisation, Kola Ologbondiyan.

According to the PDP, “Nigerians have since made up their minds to rally with Atiku Abubakar as their next President ahead of the February Presidential election”.

Although President Buhari had earlier told supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lokoja, the Kogi State capital, not to make the mistake and vote for any PDP candidate during the general elections.

The PDP in its statement further criticised the ‘scanty attendance’ at the APC campaign rallies saying it is an indication that Nigerians are not ready to return him into the office for a second term.

The opposition party also alleged that the president could not clearly make his claims at the rally.

“President Buhari could not articulate any clear message, even as he mixed up figures and statistics,” the party said.

The party also criticised the APC’s National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole for calling out names of their party leaders during the campaign rally and called on the National Peace Committee to sanction him on the comments he made against them.

“It is instructive for President Buhari to note how poorly Nigerians responded to his campaign flag-off in Uyo, Akwa Ibom state, as well as his zonal rallies, where his rented attendees even refused to wave the APC brooms and paid no attention to him whenever he mounted the stage to speak.

“President Buhari should end his playing to the gallery on the fight against corruption and get serious by prosecuting members of his Campaign Council, who all have allegations of corruption hanging on their names”.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
