APC To Adopt Direct, Indirect Primaries
The All Progressives Congress has approved the use of direct primaries at the national and indirect primaries at the state levels of party’s primaries.
This declaration was made on Thursday during the National Executive Council meeting of the party in Abuja.
The meeting had in attendance Vice President Yemi Osibanjo, Senate majority leader, Ahmed Lawan, Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, Governors on the platform of the ruling APC, chieftains of the party and new party members like Sen Godswill Akpabio were also at the meeting.
Today, before the NEC meeting, thirty four states of the federation, including Abuja, Nigeria's Federal Capital have adopted the option of indirect primaries for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming primaries to field candidates for next year's general elections.
That development was on the heels of an emergency meeting held in Abuja on Wednesday by the caucus of the party.
Part of the reasons for adopting indirect primaries as reliably gathered, was because the party was yet to authenticate the actual number of its members, and that there was not enough time to do so with the primaries just few weeks away.
It was further gathered that the only two states that have maintained their stands on Direct Primaries were Lagos and Edo States.
According to sources within the party hierarchy, states that still want to opt for direct primaries can write to the national headquarters of the party for deliberations and subsequent consideration, depending on whether they have the capacity to do so but the final decision of the NEC is that indirect and direct primaries have been adopted for state and national levels of the party’s primaries respectively.

Lagos to shut down Oba Akran Avenue Ikeja for carnival
Olamide, Lil Kesh, Small Doctor, Queen Salawa Abeni, Malaika and Tope Sax amongst others to entertain guests
AgegePulse Magazine
The Lagos State Government on Sunday said plans have been concluded to stage this year's edition of the Lagos Street Carnival scheduled to hold on December 3 along Oba Akran Avenue in Ikeja.The Special Adviser to the State Governor on Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Adebimpe Akinsola, in an interview with newsmen, said the venue of the carnival would be shut down but adequate preparations have been made for alternative routes to mitigate the impact of the road closure on motorists and residents.Dubbed, “Lagos Street Party’’ in its maiden edition last year, the event has grown into a carnival to mark the start of the end of the year activities, celebrate the multi-cultural nature of Lagosians and reposition the State as a formidable cultural destination.
Speaking on security arrangements already put in place, Akinsola said, "We like to assure Lagosians and visitors that efforts are in place to ensure that the venue and environs are safe and incident-free”.“We expect more visitors this year and a lot more will be coming.
In terms of security and crowd control, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture is not working alone. We are working with the police, Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Fire service, LASAMBUS and the Lagos State Waste Management Agency (LAWMA). All of them are onboard and people are not going to see Oba Akran on Monday in a dirty state,” Akinsola said.
She expressed optimism that the event will witness an overflow of people of diverse cultures from all over the State engaged in merrymaking to usher in the Yuletide season.
"That was how it was done on the Island and this year we are bringing it to the mainland and of course next year, we would be looking at another location because the aim of government is to take this carnival all around Lagos,” she added.
She reiterated that through project T.H.E.S.E which stands for Tourism, Hospitality, Entertainment and Arts and Sports to achieve Excellence, the State Governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode is committed to repositioning
the State and ensure excellence in the true sense of the word. While urging everyone to participate and enjoy the entertaining activities lined up for the carnival, the Special Adviser said: "the carnival is not only just for adults alone, the children will have their own corner where they can have fun.” The carnival which has a line-up of artists including Olamide, Lil Kesh, Queen Salawa Abeni, Malaika and Tope Sax amongst others will start from noon until midnight on Sunday.

WHY I DUMPED APC FOR PDP - AgegePulse
WHY I DUMPED APC FOR PDP - Read full text of Atiku Ababakar's resignation letter
Agege Pulse Magazine
The much anticipated decamping of former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar from the All Progressives Congress, APC, back to the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP was made official today as the perennial presidential aspirant uploaded details of the rationale behind his action:
The statement reads in pairs: Statement of resignation of His Excellency Atiku Abubakar (Waziri Adamawa) Vice President of Nigeria, 1999-2007 from the All Progressives Congress
On the 19th of December, 2013, I received members of the All Progressives Congress at my house in Abuja. They had come to appeal to me to join their party after my party, the Peoples Democratic Party, had become factionalized as a result of the special convention of August 31, 2013.
The fractionalization of the Peoples Democratic Party on August 31, 2013 had left me in a situation where I was, with several other loyal party members, in limbo, not knowing which of the parallel executives of the party was the legitimate leadership.
It was under this cloud that members of the APC made the appeal to me to join their party, with the promise that the injustices and failure to abide by its own constitution which had dogged the then PDP, would not be replicated in the APC and with the assurance that the vision other founding fathers and I had for the PDP could be actualized through the All Progressives Congress.
It was on the basis of this invitation and the assurances made to me that I, being party-less at that time, due to the fractionalization of my party, accepted on February 2, 2014, the hand of fellowship given to me by the All Progressives Congress.
On that day, I said "it is the struggle for democracy and constitutionalism and service to my country and my people that are driving my choice and my decision" to accept the invitation to join the All Progressives Congress.
Like you, I said that because I believed that we had finally seen the beginnings of the rebirth of the new Nigeria of our dreams which would work for all of us, old and young.
However, events of the intervening years have shown that like any other human and like many other Nigerians, I was fallible.
While other parties have purged themselves of the arbitrariness and unconstitutionality that led to fractionalization, the All Progressives Congress has adopted those same practices and even gone beyond them to institute a regime of a draconian clampdown on all forms of democracy within the party and the government it produced.
Only last year, a governor produced by the party wrote a secret memorandum to the president which ended up being leaked. In that memo, he admitted that the All Progressives Congress had "not only failed to manage expectations of a populace that expected overnight ‘change’ but has failed to deliver even mundane matters of governance".
Of the party itself, that same governor said "Mr. President, Sir Your relationship with the national leadership of the party, both the formal (NWC) and informal (Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso), and former Governors of ANPP, PDP (that joined us) and ACN, is perceived by most observers to be at best frosty. Many of them are aggrieved due to what they consider total absence of consultations with them on your part and those you have assigned such duties."
Since that memorandum was written up until today, nothing has been done to reverse the treatment meted out to those of us invited to join the All Progressives Congress on the strength of a promise that has proven to be false. If anything, those behaviours have actually worsened.
But more importantly, the party we put in place has failed and continues to fail our people, especially our young people. How can we have a federal cabinet without even one single youth.
A party that does not take the youth into account is a dying party. The future belongs to young people.
I admit that I and others who accepted the invitation to join the APC were eager to make positive changes for our country that we fell for a mirage. Can you blame us for wanting to put a speedy end to the sufferings of the masses of our people?
Be that as it may be, after due consultation with my God, my family, my supporters and the Nigerian people whom I meet in all walks of life, I, Atiku Abubakar, Waziri Adamawa, hereby tender my resignation from the All Progressives Congress while I take time to ponder my future.
May God bless you and may God bless Nigeria.

Hon. Adejare revels in dignitaries Turnout At Christmas Gig
When a proposed mini get-together metamorphosed into a show
of top class dignitaries, it becomes an assembly of movers and shakers of the
society in one enclave and you have no choice than to be overwhelmed.
This was the surprise package received by Lagos State
Commissioner for Environment, Hon. Dr. Samuel Babatunde Adejare when
traditional rulers, local, state and federal political representatives marked
attendance at a Christmas gig organised by the commissioner at his Agege
residence.
It was a sumptuous dining and wining on Sunday as Lagos
Speaker, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, Sen. Olamilekan Adeola Yayi, Hon. Yinka
Ogundimu, Olu of Agege, HRM, Oba Kamila Isiba, Engr. Omotosho, PH. Uzamat
Adebile-Yusuf, Sole Administrator, Apapa, Hon. Tunde Alao, Agege APC Women
Leader, Chief (Mrs) Bola Britto, Hon. Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi, friends and well
wishers celebrate this year's Christmas with Hon. Dr. Adejare.
The soft-spoken politician puts his emotion into perspective
while speaking with AgegePulse at the event; "I thank Almighty God for my
journey so far, and appreciate everyone, especially Yayi and Mr. Speaker for
leaving the comfort of their respective homes to join in celebrating God's
mercy over the life of my family and I in 2016.
"Also, I commend Gov. Ambode for believing in me as the
right person to put his vision o
f a clean Lagos into reality after chosen me as
commissioner in his cabinet. I'm indeed overwhelmed by all these people around
me. May God continue to bless everyone of them as we head into another fruitful
year. Glory be to Almighty", Adejare asserted.
