You are own your own- PDP tells Fayose

By

The Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose has been disowned by PDP as he has made his interest public to contest for Presidency come 2019. This disclosure was made known by The Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Caretaker Committee, Senator Ahmed Makarfi in an interview in Kaduna.

Makarfi also reacted to the speculation that former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, may be given an automatic ticket to contest the same position on the platform of the PDP, if he finally decides to join the party before the 2019 general elections.

“If Atiku decides to contest for President in 2019, no problem, but one thing is sure is that he will not be given an automatic ticket. Primaries have to be conducted, Markafi said.

For Fayose he added: “He is on his own. What he is doing is not in compliance with the position of the party. The party’s position has not changed. The Convention has zoned the Presidency to the North, and the Chairmanship of the party to the South.”

In another development, the National Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Dayo Adeyeye, has urged the national leadership of the party to intervene in the crisis rocking the Ekiti State chapter of the PDP.

He said: “The national leadership of our great party should quickly come to the rescue of the party in Ekiti State before Governor Fayose destroys the party.

“In the first instance, the Governor created his own constitution by fixing the maximum age for Chairmanship candidate at 50 years, while the maximum age for a Councillorship candidate at 30 years, against the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution. There is nowhere in the Constitution that stipulates maximum age for any elective position.

“Furthermore, the primary elections to elect the candidates for Councillorship and Chairmanship of various Local Councils commenced yesterday at the Ekiti State Government House, instead of the various Wards and Local Councils respectively. The Governor is the Electoral Officer for the exercise.”

RATS RULING A NATION

RATS RULING A NATION Hunger engulfed a wealthy kingdom Anger began to walk naked on the streets singing its anthem The poor cry and stone the rich with heavy words While the rich cry, but still cruise their loots. She became sicker and couldn’t sing As unknown sickness caressed the King And since her hospitals are still under-aged to handle his case His ‘eagle’ took him to the ‘heaven on earth’ to be treated by the ‘angels’. Days came and died Weeks came and never survived The trending full moon died as well And another one was born, still he never told his ‘angels’ farewell. Hunger wore heavy war shield and fought innocent stomachs Hate speeches preach gospels on her busy streets Quest for a referendum on everyone’s lips Still his voice was stolen on his sick bed by the wicked ‘Hyenas’ and ‘Jackals’. Animals had an emergency convocation And concurred never to dance the tone played by hunger and starvation Since the wicked ‘Hyenas’ and ‘Jackals’ are eating the

DON’T KILL YOURSELF

Don’t kill yourself Life is a sweet honey The dead wish for its taste So why would you kill yourself? Don’t kill yourself Life is created for bliss That you won’t find in the other side Especially as you want to end your life yourself. Don’t kill yourself Life doesn’t have a spare Especially when suicide sowed a seed It has a destination of torment. Don’t kill yourself Though sometimes life maybe double-barreled A little suffering, a little joy Just endure, joy comes after mourning. Don’t kill yourself Only onto Him, cast your worries Because He cares for you And can do wonders to surprise your eyes. Don’t kill yourself The birds lack nothing The flowers lack no beauty Only Him feeds and beautifies them. He that knows each hair by name He that knows the stars He that makes rains Don’t you think He can make you better?

BUT OJUKWU NEVER TOLD US ( A Poem)

BUT OJUKWU NEVER TOLD US On that Monday morning that NEPA became a saint And blessed my area on like before So reluctantly I prepared to set out from my tent Since he was to do a live broadcast after his voice was missing for three full moons. It was 7:00am and NTA sang the national jingle Followed by his beautiful face that his sickness had starved us And behind his throne was the national flag that stood still Then he opened his gap-toothed mouth to calm our nerves. He was never known for lengthy words But amidst his speech that lasted about five minutes He revealed a secret only him and the dead could attest A consensus he had with the late warrior in his hometown Daura at midnight. The late warrior was his guest for over two days according to him After he joined Partisan politics in 2003 And in great depth, they discussed the nation’s fate Whilst we ignorantly slept, and were deeply snoring like a pregnant toad. “…We both came to conclusion that the country mu
