A mega political pressure group, Nigerians Asking For Atiku (NAFA), has congratulated the former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for emerging as the 2019 Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, in a keenly contested exercise held in Port Harcourt, the Rivers State capital.

"NAFA joins millions of Nigerians to thank all PDP delegates that voted Atiku to emerge as the presidential candidate of the largest political party in the black continent, PDP.

"Our country which is at the verge of socioeconomic collapse under Buhari led APC National Government shall be rescued under Atiku led PDP federal government come 2019.

"The coast is now clear for a greater Nigeria; and all hands must be on deck to pull down APC propaganda government so as to start a new beginning of socioeconomic remodelling and lay solid foundation for the new Nigeria of our dreams, going forward.

"Atiku's excellent leadership qualities has greatly endeared him to the hearts of Nigerians coupled with his detribalized posture on national issues, good governance initiates and his strong desire to restructure Nigeria.

"NAFA shall join all other Atiku groups nationwide and PDP to mobilize eligible voters so as to ensure Atiku's landslide victory in the forthing presidential election in 2019," Silka said.

Delta 2019 Governorship Election: Delta As "Equilateral Triangle"

By IKE Nwabuoku

As we approach the 2019 elections, we believe that some forethought is
necessary before we embark on the project, especially in the election of the
Governor of the state from 2019 to 2023.
As an advance, VOTERS AGREE is a convention that is strategically structured on
registered voters who desire to vote credible persons into various Government
positions. Noteworthy is that resolutions reached by the VOTERS AGREE
conventioneers on voting are not only based on political and moral convictions,
but guided by the principles of equity, justice and fairness.
All democratic processes are based on the principle that all members of the
system called State have equal right t be involved in the running of affairs of the
state.
To promote the enunciated equality, the zoning arrangement came to the fore.
The zoning arrangement provides that each Senatorial District would take turns to
produce the Governor of the state after every Eight (8) years. Zoning is a
common practice all over the Federation, irrespective of political party affiliation
and as such Delta State cannot be an exemption.
The zoning arrangement has remained an expedient tool for promoting equity,
justice and fairness in our dear state, and it has been a conventional practice in
our daily lives as members of our democratic society.
Geo-politically, Delta State is an "Equilateral Triangle" with members as Delta
North (Anioma), Delta Central (Urhobos) and Delta South (Ijaws, Itsekiris, Isokos).
It is instructive to refresh that in 1999, Ex-Governor James Ibori (Dela Central)
emerged as Governor and ruled from 1999 to 2007 (8 years). In 2007, Ex-
Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan (Delta South) emerged and ruled from 2007 to
2015 (8 years). In 2015, Governor Ifeanyi Okowa (Delta North) emerged and
running on his first four years tenure as Governor. What we can find in the above
is an unabridged transmutation of Gubernatorial power from one zone to another,
after every Eight (8) years.
It becomes a truism therefore, that Delta North has a second chance of Four (4)
years beginning fro 2019.
Deltans of good conscience should understand this position and we must go
beyond understanding to insulate the principles of equity, justice and fairness in
our democratic society.
We are constantly, as Deltans monitoring all gladiators including the incumbent.
One area of joy is that they are all eminently qualified to rule Delta State.
Let us not be misconstrued to have left individual character and / or capacity to
rule our state in our considerations. It is on the cards, and nothing tending
towards negative index has emerged. We cannot afford to compromise equity,
justice and fairness.
This is our Delta, one people, same destiny. Elders, leaders and stakeholders, this
is the time for us to be egalitarian.
IKE Nwabuoku
Convener (VOTERS AGREE).
