The All Progressives Congress, USA Chapter has congratulated Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Senator Kashim Shettima on their victory and election as the President and the Vice-President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In a statement issued in New York USA, the APC-USA said that the election of the APC presidential ticket represents a new dawn for the nation, and for Nigerians at home and in the Diaspora.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APC-USA commended Asiwaju for his doggedness and political sagacity without which APC could not have won the election. “Despite various manmade and orchestrated barriers and challenges, Asiwaju was able to push through and secure victory for APC and for the progressives”. APC-USA described Tinubu as an uncommon leader who is determined to rescue Nigeria and her people from poverty and from the state of insecurity that have befallen the country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APC-USA expressed its confidence in Asiwaju Tinubu’s ability to lead Nigeria and deliver the true dividends of democracy to the people. “We have no iota of doubt that Asiwaju Tinubu will perform well as the President of Nigeria. We understand that the tasks ahead are by no means easy, but we are confident that Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu has what it takes to rescue Nigeria from the myriad of challenges confronting her at this time. We strongly believe that Asiwaju Tinubu has what it takes to take Nigeria to the next level”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APC-USA stated that Nigeria is a nation that has potential to be the real giant of Africa and that the recipe to attain that goal is visionary leadership and good governance which the Chapter believed Asiwaju Bola Tinubu represents. The chapter expressed its belief that Asiwaju Tinubu will immediately set in motion the programs and projects that will put the country on the path of greatness which will truly make NIgeria the giant of Africa.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APC-USA urged Nigerians to join hands with Tinubu in the business of building a better Nigeria. The Chapter called on all other presidential candidates to join hands with Asiwaju Tinubu and put Nigeria’s project to fruition as the task of nation building requires all hands to be on deck. “This is the brightest moment we have all yawned for Nigeria. We have to take our destiny in our hands and make things work for us as a nation. We cannot continue to do things the same way and expect a different result. We must work hard to ensure that Nigeria works for all”, APC-USA stated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Chapter commended President Mohammadu Buhari for standing firm with Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and for ensuring the delivery of a free, fair and transparent election to the country. “It is an indelible legacy which Nigerians will remember and cherish forever”, the statement read. APC-USA also thanked Chief Bisi Akande, Chief Segun Osoba, Alhaji Abdullahi Adamu and the APC Northern governors for standing firm in their support for Asiwaju Tinubu and Senator Shettima even in the face of stiff opposition from the enemies of democracy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APC-USA expressed its satisfaction with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for midwifing a free and fair election. “It is our hope that this presidential election would lead to a new Nigeria, and a country in which every citizen would have a stake in the development of the country”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APC-USA commended Nigerians for coming out en masse to exercise their constitutional rights and for electing an exceptional politician of our generation, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the next President of Nigeria. “It is undoubtedly a joyful moment and very gratifying to see yet another peaceful election which will lead to another peaceful transfer of power which has become an evidence of Nigeria’s democratic culture”, the statement added.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APC-USA expressed its readiness to help the Tinubu/Shettima administration in all areas necessary to deliver its promises to the Nigerian people. “We will make the expertise of our members available to the incoming administration in our efforts to ensure the rapid development of the country as we believe that the robust involvement of credible Nigerian experts in the Diaspora is needed for the country to achieve its developmental goals and objectives”, the statement said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

APC-USA expressed its heartfelt congratulations to all Nigerians on the historical moment that brought the best among the candidates. The chapter prayed God to give abundance wisdom to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and his team in the difficult task of governing Nigeria, and for God to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In the spirits of the exigencies of present charged up political topical realities and conversations,I am inherently inclined to ruminate and juggle our consciousness around the personage of Hon Senator M.Okpebholo and his walk towards becoming the Governor of Edo State.

Humanity has always been subsumed,inundated with transformative phases culminating into palpable tangible events and outcomes and leading to positive disruptive developmental changes.

Undoubtedly,ideas visions and actionable goals shapes our world into transcendental growth and transformative developments.

A purposeful and iconoclastic idea whose time has come breaks down all barriers and obstacles to shine and glow into unparalleled unbridled fruition and acceptance.

In this sense,it’s pertinent to encapsulate rather unequivocally that Senator M Okpebholo emergence as the flag bearer of APC in the forthcoming Edo State elections is an idealistic momentous indication of an idea whose time has come-he is the rave of the moment that everyone should reasonably pander to and readily identify with without hesitations or scruples.

Resoundingly loud in the lips of rational citizens and netizens in and beyond Edo State is the very unmistakable ubiquitous voices,agitations,drumming,clamoring,for the easy going,down to earth,soft spoken,unassuming,humane,humbleness personified mien of Hon Senator M Okpebholo whose time has come to become the Governor of Edo State.

Typically,analogically and apparently the difficulties encountered with attempting to stop a moving train is the same struggle and resistance cum obstinacy to be overcome all attempts to stop the movement of SMO trains into Osadebey Avenue.

Interestingly,but ironically rumor mill and social media tends to be irreverently awash with arguments and postulations for or against and about the antecedents and benevolent overtures of SMO in the past as indices,parameters and anecdotes or measuring yardstick for future performances upon emergence as Governor….and l am simply miffed,wondering and asking rhetorically for the umpteenth time a subliminal regurgitation of our memories as to the performances of our erstwhile Governor Oshiomhole Gov Obaseki,Gov Igbinedion,Gov Odigie Oyegun
before they became Governors of Edo State??

I will be stultified and jolted into coalesce,condescension and submission if one can point at a meaningful remembrance of any grandiose project or remarkable charitable contributions they made in their respective local governments or senatorial zones prior to their being elected as Governors.

Suffice to state that I am struggling to decipher the rationale behind the conversation that previous acts of charity and projects done becomes a major political indicator and justification for becoming a Governor of Edo state.

Therefore and rightly so,it aggregates to cheap assailable blackmail all attempts to profile Hon Senator M Okpebolo on the basis of his personal acts of charity as a vicarious lens of assessment and for voting him into Office as Governor or otherwise.

He is irrevocably the beautiful bride of Edo Politics whose time is now.
An impeccable candidate with no baggages.He is his self cheerleader.
He is your everyday people person who operates an open door policy.
He is a rare silent achiever and an astute leader with pedigree of talking less but doing more.
He is an asset and a gift to Edo State

He is not your regular run of the mill boastful politician who speaks with both sides of the mouth denigrating with prism alluring lies uncensored

In the main,the whole essence of political participation is intended to make policy decisions that could shape up and lead to definitive changes,gains and democratic reforms for the generality of the public interest.

And l boldly posit unapologetically that voting Hon Senator M Okpebholo as Governor of Edo State is a wise choice to make come Election Day cos he will walk the talk by matching words with actionable and transformative deliverables of democratic dividends upon becoming the Governor of Edo State.

He had expressed hope that the situation would improve over time but sadly, it escalated as the APC governorship primary election scheduled for April 25 approached.

Akintelure’s alarm on threat to life

Akintelure in a statement released by his spokesperson, Oladapo Akintelure, on Thursday, March 21, 2023, said, “Initially, I hope these incidents would dissipate over time, yet regrettably, they have escalated to pose a serious threat to my life”

“The threats against me only strengthen my resolve to stand up for what is right and just. I will not allow fear to dictate our path forward.

“Let us embrace peace, progress, and unity. Our collective strength lies in our to stand together as one, regardless of our differences.”

Political background

Recall Akintelure ran as the deputy governorship candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN) with Rotimi Akeredolu (the incumbent Ondo State governor) against Olusegun Mimiko, the then Labour Party flagbearer, who won the election.

Earlier, he had contested the senatorial election against the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, but he was defeated.

He was a medical doctor and hailed from Igbotako, Okitipupa Local Government Area of Ondo State.

Senegal: 44 Year Old Faye To Be Announced Winner As Opposition Parties Concede Defeat

Senegal opposition candidate Bassirou Diomaye Faye, a political newcomer popular among the country’s disaffected youth, was set to be declared the next president after his main rival called him on Monday to concede defeat.

Provisional results showed Faye with about 53.7% and Amadou Ba – from the current ruling coalition – with 36.2% based on tallies from 90% of polling stations in the first-round vote, the electoral commission said.

 

 

Senegal: 44 Year Old Faye To Be Announced Winner As Opposition Parties Concede Defeat

Ba and President Macky Sall both congratulated Faye, who turned 44 on Monday. They hailed the outcome as a win for Senegal, whose reputation as one of West Africa’s most stable democracies took a hit when Sall postponed the vote.
“The Senegalese people have reinforced the good health of our democracy.. I wish him (Faye) success at the head of our country,” Ba said.

A peaceful transition of power in Senegal would mark a boost for democracy in West Africa, where there have been eight military coups since 2020.

Some of the juntas that seized power have cut ties with traditional power-brokers in the region such as France and the United States, and turned instead to Russia for help in their fight against a jihadist insurgency spreading through countries that neighbour Senegal.

Senegal’s international bonds rose on reports that Faye was close to being declared a winner, reversing sharp falls from earlier in the day.

Many hope the vote will bring stability and an economic boost after three years of unprecedented political turbulence which saw several waves of deadly anti-government protests.

“I am happy to see there is a wind of change,” said Tall, an opposition supporter who joined revellers during the night as street celebrations broke out in anticipation of Faye’s victory.

“It is wonderful because democracy has won. Many thought it would not happen,” he said, only wishing to give his first name.

Full, official results are expected to be announced by the Dakar appeals court on Friday.

YOUNG VOTERS
Faye has not publicly spoken since he cast his vote. He owes much of his success to the backing of firebrand opposition leader Ousmane Sonko, who was barred from running due to a defamation conviction.

The two former tax inspectors, who were both released from jail this month, campaigned together under the slogan “Diomaye is Sonko”, promising to fight corruption and prioritise national economic interests.

They are particularly popular among young voters in a country where more than 60% of people are under 25 and struggle to find jobs.

Police crackdowns on protests, the government’s failure to cushion rising living costs and concerns Sall would seek to extend his mandate beyond constitutional limits buoyed the opposition.

Anger crystallised around Sonko’s prosecution only grew when authorities sought to postpone the vote, initially scheduled to take place in February, by 10 months.

Investors are meanwhile wary about a potential change in leadership to an anti-establishment government that may not pursue the same business friendly policies seen under Sall’s government that has attracted investments into infrastructure.

Senegal is set to start producing oil and gas this year.
Faye has promised a raft of changes including plans to renegotiate the country’s oil and gas contracts, though he sought to reassure investors last week that the country would respect its external commitments.
