SHERIFF Meant Well For PDP, I'm Happy He Disrupted The PH Convention - Dokpesi's Bombshell, Reveals Top Secrets
News Proof 21.8.16 No comments Edit Post
A national chairmanship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party, Raymond Dokpesi, has disclosed that the court order received by the embattled former National Chairman of the party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, frustrated the anointed candidate of the governors elected on the platform of the party, Jimi Agbaje, to emerge as national chairman.
Dokpesi said the postponement of the convention in Port Harcourt, Rivers State was “a blessing in disguise”.
In a statement by Omor Bazuaye, the spokespersons of the Raymond Dokpesi Campaign, on Friday, Dokpesi said shifting the convention in Port Harcourt following the closure of the convention ground by soldiers and police affords members a rare opportunity to resolve the leadership crisis in the party.
He said the shift in date also assisted in no small measure to prevent a situation that could have further complicated the crisis with the kind of factionalisation that could have happened if the convention had gone ahead as scheduled.
Dokpesi, who had taken a tour of the country canvassing for support and votes of delegates, said he arrived Port Harcourt only to be told that PDP Governors had anointed Agbaje, the former PDP governorship candidate of the party in Lagos State, for the position.
To effect their plot, he said the Governors went on to lobby delegates from the North, asking them to obey the “micro zoning” arrangement, which was unilaterally decided by them.
Dokpesi disclosed that fortunately, delegates from the North refused to be a part of the scheme and that when the message was brought to them, they insisted it was “Raymond Dokpesi”, who had gone round the country that they wanted to vote for.
Dokpesi said going round the country, he had established a special bond with the people, a bond he claimed made it absolutely impossible for their conscience to be bought at the last minute.
The statement said: “When they brought the message to anoint Agbaje to the people, everybody started screaming that it was Raymond Dokpesi they want to vote for and so the Northern elders order them to go to the field.”
He added that while the Northern delegates had made up their minds to defile the governors, it was not so convenient for delegates from PDP-controlled states to go against the wishes of their governors who were hell bent to install the next Chairman.
For Dokpesi, Sheriff’s court order was a saving grace from the massive rigging that had been perfectly worked out.
Dokpesi, however, called on all aggrieved members to use the respite created by the shift in date to resolve the crisis, asking them to sheath their swords and come down from their high horses.
“If you listen to Ali Modu Sheriff and the governors, you’ll clearly see the ego at play,” he said.
Dokpesi said what is happening in the party is not a PDP problem but a clear case of Sheriff and a few PDP Governors in a battle for supremacy.
Dokpesi revealed that as a founding member of the PDP, he has been involved in a number of backdoor discussions aimed at resolving the crisis within the party.
He said he swallowed his pride to approach Sheriff on the matter, pointing out that once he had spoken with the former Governor of Borno State, he doesn’t believe Sheriff means bad for the PDP.
Dokpesi denies being a stooge or fronting for anyone.

Northern Youths Reveal Secret Plot By Sheriff, Kashamu To Kill PDP For El-Rufai, Amaechi 2019 Presidential Ambition
News Proof 20.8.16 No comments Edit Post
There has been accusation and counter-accusation over the crisis rocking the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP as youths in the northern part of Nigeria under the aegis of Northern Youths Movement (NYM) have accused the duo of the embattled factional Chairman of the party, Ali Modu Sheriff and Ogun State Senator, Buriji Kashamu of fueling the PDP crisis to favour the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and the Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi's 2019 Presidential and Vice Presidential ambitions.
The Youth said that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, will remain in crisis as long as Senator Ali Modu Sheriff and Ogun State Senator, Buruji Kashamu, remain in the party.
This is following a similar accusation made by Ali Modu Sheriff that the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and former acting PDP Chairman, Uche Secondus are working for a certain APC chieftain to fly the Presidential flag of the party by 2019.
The NYM in a statement signed by its Chairman, Mallam Ishaya Jato, according to TodayNg, alleged that both Sheriff and Kashamu were agents of the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, and were working to achieve El-Rufai and Amaechi’s presidential and vice presidential ambition in 2019.
The youths said Buruji Kashamu was dancing to the tune of El-Rufai and Amaechi because the duo have promised to save him from being extradited to the United States of America to face trial for alleged drug trafficking.
The NYM noted that the court had assisted the PDP by nullifying the party’s constitutional amendment that brought Sheriff as National Chairman and restrained him from parading himself as the chairman.
It called on leaders of the party to expel the former Borno State governor and Senator Buruji Kashamu from the PDP if they desired peace in the party.
The youths, who lamented that Nigerians, especially youths in the northern part of the country were looking up to the PDP to save the country from the mis-governance of the All Progressives Congress, APC, said PDP must put its house in order in the interest of Nigerians.
The group said Buruji Kashamu is afraid of being extradited to the USA to face trial for alleged drug trafficking while Sheriff is afraid of being tried for alleged involvement in Boko Haram activities and for these reasons, they are ready to do anything to kill the PDP for El-Rufai and Amaechi.

Fellow Nigerians, you must be wondering what this title is all about. Please, calm down, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, one of Nigeria’s iconic politicians, is not about to dump his party, APC, for PDP, the party he fought hard with others to sack from power just last year.
The reason for bringing PDP into this article which largely concerns the Tinubu conundrum is very simple and straight-forward. PDP has suffered calamities upon catastrophes since General Muhammadu Buhari sacked President Goodluck Jonathan from office. It is hard to imagine, or believe, that a party that held Nigeria by the jugular for 16 solid years could attain meltdown so soon and almost disappear into oblivion.
One would have expected PDP, despite its electoral misfortune, to provide a formidable opposition to APC and keep President Buhari on his toes but that has not been the case. APC has wasted no time in sending PDP to an early grave by throwing poisonous darts at it from every angle.
The war against corruption has been a most veritable weapon with stupendous impact used by APC to scatter most of the PDP apparatchik to the winds. The strategy was to weaken them by showcasing the humongous corruption that was perpetrated and perpetuated during their reign. The PDP brand was thus obliterated in a jiffy. Many of their bigwigs confessed to nefarious and horrendous crimes of looting and brigandage. They coughed up or vomited incredible sums of cash.
All entreaties and shouts of a vengeful witch-hunt against President Buhari fell on deaf ears. The more they screamed the more they were horse-whipped into submission and made to weep bitterly.
As if that was not bad enough, PDP engaged itself in a war of attrition and became a house divided against itself. It was only a matter of time before it crumbled like the proverbial cookie does. Today, PDP has become its own worst enemy with the brickbats being thrown at one another by members of what used to be touted as the biggest political party in Africa. How are the mighty fallen!
The aim of my piece this week is to attempt what I did in 2014 when I wrote a permutative article titled ‘In Search of Mathematicians’. That was how I predicted a win for Buhari when many pundits still doubted such possibility. I intend to do so again in this column by painting a picture of what to expect in 2019. If you think that year is still far away, perish the thought.
The battle for the next Nigerian Presidential election started as soon as the last one was lost and won. The hurly-burly of the elections had not yet settled down when the potential gladiators picked up their gauntlets in readiness for the next combat.
The ruling party APC has suffered its own casualties as a result of its self-immolating wars of anticipation. What do I mean? The new men of power are already thinking ahead and wondering who may be too ambitious within their own fold. Any of such recalcitrant and ambitious rebels must be cut down to size, no matter his or her contribution to past victory and glory. Without mincing words, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, is the first victim and he has suffered massive collateral damage on account of suspicion. APC itself has suffered almost fatally in the process. The only thing holding it together for now is the fact that it is the party in power and thus presumably has limitless opportunities to distribute largesse to the army of party operatives and their cronies.
By this time next year, as this government enters its third year in power, reality would begin to set in and President Buhari will begin to discover and see original animals in human skin.
I foresee and predict a re-alignment of political forces from 2017. President Buhari will be encouraged and persuaded to run a second term by those who are currently profiting from his government. It is only normal and it is their legitimate right. Nothing stops the President from seeking a re-election within our Constitution. The only snag is that many politicians are going to gang up against him because they see him as an outsider in politics who has benefitted from their massive support but in return has been messing things up for them.
If the President remains stoically stubborn and refuses to play ball with politicians, he would have to fight dirty to win his ticket. It seems to me that he would have to do everything to retain the loyalty of one man by all means, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. It is almost impossible for any candidate to become President of Nigeria without the overwhelming support of the Yoruba and their current generalissimo, Tinubu, in particular.
Tinubu derives his stranglehold on power from his iron grip on Lagos. Lagos is a microcosm of Nigeria. Whoever controls Lagos owns the commercial nerve-centre of Nigeria, just like the California of America. Tinubu has been very lucky in that his anointed candidates, Babatunde Raji Fashola and Akinwunmi Ambode, have been very cerebrally successful. The current Governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, is already set, after just one year in office, to surpass all expectations.
According to impeccable sources, Buhari may therefore be forced to risk and pick Tinubu as his running-mate if push comes to shove. Tinubu’s protégé, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, is the current Vice President, who comes with intimidating credentials but may not have enough political muscle to deliver enough votes to the kitty. The dilemma for Buhari is whether he should buck the trend set by his predecessors, starting from Shehu Shagari, and jettison his Vice President, especially when a cordial and mutually respectful relationship exists between them. In addition, Osinbajo has been doing exceedingly well and he is seen as one of the few shining lights of this Administration.
There is also the fact that Prof Osinbajo is a highly regarded and esteemed senior Christian figure and the President has needed him to silence those detractors that consider him an Islamic fundamentalist.
However, I believe that the controversy that could ensue from a potentially volatile Muslim/Muslim ticket may have been fixed substantially. Firstly, there is a precedent set by Chief Moshood Kashimawo Abiola the acclaimed winner of the 1993 elections who picked a fellow Muslim, Alhaji Baba Gana Kingibe, as his running-mate and still won in Nigeria’s freest and fairest election to date. Secondly, though Tinubu is a devout Muslim, his beloved wife is a hard-core Christian and a top-notch member of the same Redeemed Christian Church of God as the Vice President. Thirdly, there is the fact that Tinubu supported a Christian, Akinwunmi Ambode, as his anointed candidate for Governor of Lagos State, a deft move calculated to pacify those who may wish to foment religious crisis and conflagration then and in the future.
Tinubu is believed by many to have served Nigeria meritoriously and selflessly by suppressing his own personal ambition for that of others and it is believed that the kingmaker deserves a chunky reward the next time around if he so desires. He is acknowledged as being one of the most knowledgeable leaders in Nigeria today and a lot of people feel that his background in business and politics could bail Nigeria out of the economic quagmire of the moment. He is known to be a practical politician who knows how to make the world better for most people.
If the hawks succeed in getting Buhari to snub Tinubu because of his perceived threat to the President himself, the APC may split like PDP did before the collapse of the Jonathan Presidency.
One potential candidate is hovering in the wings and that is the Turaki of Adamawa, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, who has never hidden the fact that he wants the Presidency by all means. My next permutation is that the former Vice President and Tinubu who are two of the three most powerful and influential politicians in APC today (the third is Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki with his firm control of the Senate) may combine forces to thwart a Buhari re-election bid. They have been old allies since the time of Major General Shehu Musa Yar’Adua. If they join forces, it may therefore spell doom for those seeking the re-election of President Buhari.
After the seeming lull in the Buhari-Tinubu love, it seems the recent appointments given to some of Tinubu’s acolytes appear designed to assuage his feeling. But would this be sufficient to bury the combustive ambition of a man who believes he still has so much to give to his country?
The third option which also involves Tinubu in the mix is one on which for a variety of reasons Buhari chooses not to run again. Without doubt, there are several other forces contending for power in case Buhari decides not to seek re-election. In this category, Tinubu’s name still features prominently. No one can deny the ability of Tinubu to transform Nigeria the way he did in Lagos. It is presumed that Buhari may generously want to pay Tinubu back for the support he gave him. He may also want to leave a lasting legacy and shed the toga of an ethnic jingoist by handing over to a Southerner. If this happens, I foresee the visionary Governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, a core Buhari loyalist, becoming Tinubu’s running-mate, notwithstanding that this is another Muslim/Muslim ticket. Many APC loyalists believe this combination may fly.
There is a fourth option and this is coming from the direction of PDP. The theory here is that PDP can still spring a surprise on Buhari and pay him back in his own coin. The PDP apologists believe the North has lost more under Buhari despite allocating many political appointments to the region. They are of the opinion that former President Jonathan did more for them and gave them access and respect than their own man Buhari who they accuse of being standoffish. This is the reason that many Northerners, apart from his kinsmen in the South South, have become the biggest promoter of PDP.
In case you think Jonathan is dead and buried politically, perish the thought! He still holds the biggest ace in PDP. In fact, many in PDP today see him as their best candidate in 2019 because some of his transformation agenda are beginning to come to fruition. They are hoping and banking on Buhari becoming so unpopular that Jonathan would be sorely missed by Nigerians who would practically beg him to come back.
The rising profile and the promotion of Jonathan in the international community is part of that systematic way of re-polishing, repackaging, redefining and preparing him for a return to power. Every attempt to smear him with a tar brush would be rebuffed by his die-hard loyalists who see Buhari as someone trying to kill any future role for Jonathan as Nigerian President. They are totally committed to ensuring that Jonathan is well protected between now and next year when serious politicking would have reached a crescendo again. The hope is that as a former civilian President, he can bounce back to power like President Mathieu Kerekou did in Benin Republic, when he returned in 1996 after quitting in 1991.
Who knows tomorrow?

News Proof 20.8.16 No comments Edit Post
The presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 elections is the main cause of the current crisis tearing the party apart, its embattled National Chairman Senator Ali Modu Sheriff said yesterday.
Sheriff, who bared his mind in an interview with African Independent Television (AIT), accused Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and a former Deputy National Chairman of PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, of plotting to hand the party’s ticket to a prominent leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
He said: “Wike and Secondus are working to give the party ticket in 2019 to a man in APC, a man that is not even bold enough to leave the APC and join us. He was in the PDP before. He was a founding father of the PDP.
“I don’t have to mention him. Secondus himself told me that he and Wike always meet this man to strategise plans on 2019. I told him that it is wrong. If the man is bold enough, let him come and join us now.
“They accused me of working for the APC. How? I have never played games like that. I had formed a party and was the BOT Chairman. I was a presidential candidate, three time senator, Minority Leader. Makarfi worked for the APC in 2015, Ben Obi was Atiku’s Vice Presidential Candidate, and Secondus and Wike are meeting an APC man regularly on how the party will be sold to him.
“Wike is full of arrogance and impunity. He is too small to pocket PDP. I will not allow him. There are people who can carry the flag within the party. PDP will not be sold.”
Sheriff is locked in a battle for the soul of the party with Senator Ahmed Makarfi whose tenure as chairman of the party’s caretaker committee was extended by one year in Port Harcourt last Wednesday.
The Police and Department of State Security (DSS) sealed the Sharks Stadium, Port Harcourt which was planned for the national convention convened by the Makarfi faction. The security agencies cited an order by Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court, Abuja on Tuesday which restrained the party from proceeding with the convention.
Justice Ibrahim Watila of the Federal High Court, Port Harcourt on the same day validated the convention while Justice Nwakama Ogbonna of a Federal Capital Territory High Court, Abuja declared Sheriff an illegal chairman of the PDP.
Some other members of the Makarfi faction, including former minister, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, had accused Sheriff of working for the APC

Opposition Party, PDP National Convention Postponed in Nigeria - By Adedayo Osho
News Proof 17.8.16 No comments Edit Post
Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, had on Tuesday 16 August ruled that the national convention of Nigerian opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, must not hold. His judgment restricts the party's convergence in the oil rich city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, scheduled for the following day, August 17.
He warned the chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, the country's electoral umpire, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to disregard the convention. The ruling also urged the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris to enforce the order.
This latest order contradicts, and somewhat challenge an earlier judgment on same case delivered by a similar Federal High Court sitting in Port Harcourt. The Presiding Judge, Justice Mohammed Liman, in his 4 July judgement had declared that the May 21 national convention of PDP was legally constituted and its decisions constitutional.
Confused about verdicts of two different court, commenting on Tuesday's directive by Justice Okon Abang, a staff of INEC stated: “We have just been told that we should not be at the convention on the order of Justice Abang. Yet, another court in Port Harcourt said we must be there. These are same courts with same powers
under the same President, because the Federal High Court in the country is headed by a President. Are these judges reading different laws or constitution? Can't the President of the Federal High Court call his men to order?"
Wadata House, situated in Abuja, the national secretariat of Peoples Democratic Party is always attractive to members, in what is obtainable in other political parties. Influence, patronage, resource control, and the attendant political stature accrued to each offices has seen the once self-acclaimed most populous party in Africa, PDP, experience bifurcation of weaker caucus, split into factions in an attempt to slug out power.
This split, ensuing legal battle within the party is between two broad factions, the Ahmed Makarfi led Caretaker Committee and embattled Ali Modu Sheriff group.
The former has a Southern majority backing and was a product of the May 21 national convention. The latter, a defector, was made acting-National Chairman of the party in early 2016. Allegation of sponsoring the deadly Boko Haram sect labelled against Modu Sherrif constitutes his little bit of baggage, resulting into dissociation, public denial from fellow party members.
However, neither have a popular mandate to steer the leadership of the party, hence, the re-scheduled August 17 national convention intended to produce fresh set of party stewards.
In the early morning of Wednesday, August 17, the convention failed to hold, an abortion not surprising owing to latest Abuja court pronouncement. Government House, the seat of administration in host Rivers State was reportedly blocked from entry. Event venue, the stadium of former Sharks Football Club, Port Harcourt, now Rivers United FC was sealed.
In an on-spot situation report from the Special Assistant on Media to a Southwest delegate I spoke with, nearby hotels to the convention ground were raided. Surveillance helicopters were sighted hovering around the city. Men of the Federal Special Tasks Force were deployed from Abuja to the venue. All of these were overseen by state security operatives under the disparaging eyes and aid of Nigeria Police Force, in what may be considered as carrying out its constitutional duties.
Resolution has been reached by PDP. During a joint emergency meeting later held in the afternoon by the party's National Executive Committee comprising the Board of Trustee, Caretaker Committee, its National Assembly members and Governors, the Ahmed Makarfi led National Committee was re-installed, extending its stewardship to next 12 months.
Destabilising PDP is not a ticket to national prosperity in years ahead. In a country historically linked with military rulership, level playing field for thrive of multi-party politics should ordinarily not be a choice. It is really important to allow political parties make internal popular decisions on their own terms. Interventions by a court of law does not adequately guarantee compliance by waring factions in internal party politics. In fact, it serve to deepen resentment and portray incumbent as taking sides since it controls all state institutions. The Federal High Court{s} must as a matter of urgency reach a conclusive resolution, declare a unilateral stance about the PDP leadership crisis. In the eventual probability the case travels to the Supreme Court, a speedy balanced verdict there would not only have the potential to help consolidate on democratic development in Nigeria, but engender to create more strong opposition parties and establish strong sense of political efficacy.

Shut Up! Buhari, APC Not Responsible For Our Party, PDP Failed Convention - Okupe Blasts, Reveals The Cabals Behind
News Proof 17.8.16 No comments Edit Post
Chief Doyin Okupe, a form aide to the ousted President Goodluck Jonathan and a prominent member of the opposition Peoples Democratic party has refuted claim by many of his party members that the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC and President Muhammadu Buhari are behind the botched national convention of the party earlier in Port Harcourt today.
Okupe in his latest facebook post shortly after the PDP postponed it convention said neither Buhari nor APC responsible for the failed convention but the PDP's internal conflict resolution machinery and desperate leaders who want to seize power of the party at all cost.
His words;
"The failed Pdp convention cannot and should not be blamed on our political adversaries. Rather the blame should rest squarely on the failure of internal conflict resolution machinery of the Pdp, the surprising naivety and desperation of many to seize power and control the party,and the gullibility of majority of the followership, who have become entrenched in the cesspool of pervasive impunity of our leadership over the years."
"However, it is commendable that the NEC threw sentiments aside and extended the tenure of the controversial caretaker commuter by one year and allowed for future expansion of the membership of the committee."
"The import of this is that the party has now officially jetissoned the "Microwave"strategy, hitherto, employed by the leadership, and allowed for ample time to address all issues. By allowing for new inclusions into the members of the caretaker committee, the leadership obviously has made room for possible reasonable negotiation with the Senator Amodu Sheriff 's group, which is inevitable and a political imperative, if the party must remain United."
"Again, this is neither the time for victory songs nor a season for political vendetta. This is time for seeking lasting and honest peace, time to rebuild from current ashes of flames of the inferno, of political opportunism, greed, selfishness and blatant brigandry and impunity."
"There may just be another chance to do it again especially now that our adversaries are burning their political access card."
Long live the PDP.
Long live the Federal republic of Nigeria.

Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, the Tormentor- in- Chief of the PDP, By Ibrahim Lawal
News Proof 17.8.16 No comments Edit Post
When they brought you from sambisa forest to come and lead their sinking party, we told them you are not one that can be treated with ignominy. They attacked us as being afraid of your ability to rescue the PDP. We were called names for telling them the bitter truth.
They wax lyrics about your ability to cut Buhari to size. Now you are dealing them a great blow. When you told the whole world on Channels TV on Sunday that the Portharcourt Convention will not hold, they said you are merely blabbing.
You got an order stopping the convention, the unthinking PDP members treated it with levity. You again got another order against the IGP to stop the convention by all means, they acted as if nothing spoil. Instead of them to take steps to address the impending danger, they carried on as if nothing has happened until they come face to face with the reality of not moving forward with the convention.
The premature ejaculation has ended, and the party is over.Ali Modu Sheriff has won again!
Goodbye to PDP! And all hail the king of Sambisa forest.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has called on its members, leaders and supporters nationwide to remain calm over the face-off with security men at the Port Harcourt National Convention.
Reacting to the development via its official Facebook page, the party called on its supporters nationwide to remain calm as its leaders were already on top of the situation.
“We are witnessing huge presence of the contingent of security agencies within and around the Sharks stadium, venue of our Repeat National Convention.
“Party leaders, our governors and other leaders of the Party are on top of the situation and have directed all members and other Party supporters nationwide to remain calm and await further instructions,” it said.
