Leader Of Main South African Opposition Party Steps Down

Mmusi Maimane has stepped down as the head of South Africa’s Democratic Alliance (DA) opposition party. Maimane wanted to build a party that represents all South Africans, particularly black citizens of the country, he said in a statement on Wednesday.

Over the last months, it became clear that some members of his party were not in line with his vision. Consequently, he stepped down as head of the party after four years, the 39-year-old said. Many still see the DA as the party of the white minority in spite of the leadership of Maimane, who is black.

Two elders loyal to the two contending political parties in the November 16, 2019 gubernatorial election in Bayelsa, almost engaged each other in a fisticuff at a stakeholders meeting organised by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Yenagoa.

Consequently, the meeting ended abruptly as Chairman of the Bayelsa Elders Forum (BEF), Francis Doukpolagha, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) loyalist and representative of All Progressives Congress (APC) Chairman at the event, Dennis Otitio, engaged each other in a war of words that almost led to a fight.

This was due to disagreement over the issue of the people allegedly …

The opposition Action Democratic Party (ADP) has cautioned President Muhammadu Buhari against worsening the debt profile of the country.

The National Chairman of ADP, Yusuf Yabagi, told reporters in Abuja that Nigeria could suddenly become bankrupt with incessant borrowing.

Expressing concern over the alarming theft of oil revenue by private individuals who are mostly foreigners, he noted that it was unfortunate that over ₦2.3 trillion would be set aside to service debt in the ₦10.3 trillion 2020 budget.

This, he argued, does not speak well of the Buhari-led administration in view of the fact that over 30 percent of the …

The APC led government in Nigeria has so much created contentions in the country to a point that the divisions among the tribes, and ethnic  groups have never been this bad in the country, the killings on daily basis by the Fulani herdsmen, the looting of public treasury by public officer holders in APC.

The party has created safe heaven for looters, the chairman of the party, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole publicly said during one of their rallies ahead of the 2019 elections while urging those in the opposition parties who were charged with fraud that, “once you, …

The killings set the country unstable, while the trouble was going, the recklessness, and incompetence of APC led administration beginning from their finance team where Mrs Kemi Adeosun, who was even barely qualified to be the Commissioner of Finance in her last assignment  was given a portfolio too big for her to handle as a Minister of Finance, and the resultant effect was disastrous.

The government of APC which came into power in the first place with propaganda but failed to realise that, propaganda can only get you into power but will not get the real job …

Trump calls Theresa May ‘foolish’ on Brexit

UK’s May resigns as party leader, starting succession race

British Prime Minister Theresa May steps down as leader of her Conservative Party on Friday, formally triggering the race for a successor who will try where she failed to deliver Brexit.

May will remain prime minister until a new leader is chosen, likely in late July, but has relinquished control over the direction of Britain’s tortuous departure from the European Union.

Brexit is still scheduled for October 31 but while her rivals thrash it out, the project remains stuck, with the only divorce plan agreed with Brussels stuck in parliament.

May took office after the 2016 referendum vote to leave …

Peoples Democratic Party reaping the evil she sowed

By MarkAnthony Nze
In as much as I condemn the maladministration of the All Progressives Congress in totality, however it is very pertinent to state here that the Peoples Democratic Party failed woefully in their sixteen years of reign.
 
It was during the reign of PDP that Nigeria witnessed an unprecedented oil boom yet what they did was never in any way commensurate to  the wealth that accrued to the country at that time.
 
Admittedly, PDP fared better than APC but we shouldn’t be in a hurry to forget that PDP set the precedence for rigging in Nigeria, and APC
