AHEAD OF 2019 ELECTIONS: BUHARI / MASARI GET 70M CONTRIBUTION FROM DAURA YOUTH



A Katsina States based Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), Daura Emirate Youth Progressive Movement (DEYPM), says it earmarked N70M to prosecute the electioneering campaign of President Muhammadu Buhari and Rt. Hon. Aminu Masari towards the 2019 general elections.

Katsina Media and Publicity reports that Alhaji Abdulkadir Lawal, the Zonal Chairman of the NGO, made the disclosure in an interview at Daura on Saturday.

Lawal said that out of the amount, N40M would be spent on the presidential campaign for Buhari and N30M for the re-election of Masari.

He said the money was sourced from contributions from individuals, groups and organisations with a view to facilitating the electioneering campaigns of the two political office holders.

@katgovmedia reports that, Lawal explained that the money would be spent on hiring of vehicles, provision of logistics and other necessary campaign activities within the five local government areas in Daura emirate.

He said the movement arrived at such decision, considering the socio-economic development brought to the people of the area by the Federal and the State Government in the area in the last 3 years.

The zonal chairman listed some of the socio-economic developments to include a Federal University of Transport, Air Force wing and Army unit in Daura.
He also said that the State Government had impacted positively in the lives of thousands of people of the area, especially through its youth empowerment programmes, construction of more roads, schools and hospitals among other programmes. Lawal said, “we never had it so good".

He said the group had earlier decided to use the money to purchase nomination forms for president Buhari and Masari but it overtaken by events and the decision of other well meaning Nigerians.

Lawal said the NGO therefore decided to channel the money into other political programmes that would promote the electioneering processes in 2019.

He commended the group of well meaning Nigerians who purchased the nomination forms for President Buhari and members of the Katsina State Traders Association for extending similar gesture to Gov Aminu Masari.

Katsina Media and Publicity reports that the NGO has been in the vanguard of championing the second term of Buhari Masari.

Recall that @katgovmedia reported the choice of delegate in conducting primary elections across the state, and subsequently endorses Buhari/Masari 2019.

SYLVA, A DESPERATE POLITICIAN UNDER THREAT FROM HIS CONSCIENCE - DICKSON

...SAY HE RUNS WHEN NOBODY PURSUES HIM The Bayelsa State Governor, the Honourable Henry Seriake Dickson, on Wednesday described former Governor Timipre Sylva as an unpopular and desperate politician whose conscience remains his greatest threat. Dickson said in a statement by his Special Adviser, Media Relations, Mr. FIdelis Soriwei, that Sylva cuts the gnawing image of a troubled man screaming and fleeing at the sight of nobody. Dickson was reacting to a claim by Sylva that the governor was behind a plot to pitch the Chief òf Staff to the President, Mr. Abba Kyari, against him through orchestrated media reports. Soriwei said that Governor Dickson is too involved and indeed occupied with the execution of the mandate the Bayelsa people gave to him, to be distracted by the hallucinations of a politician whose lifeline in politics was the state òf the mood of his political masters. The Governor’s media Aide said that it was queer and absurd that Sylva did not point to any p...

Bayelsa 2019: Men Who Want Governor Dickson's Job

Following the recent declaration by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of November 2, 2019 as date for the Bayelsa Governorship Election, the race for the next landlord of the ‘Creek Haven” Bayelsa State Government House, Yenagoa, is on the upward swing and fast gathering momentum. Bayelsa State as a microcosm of Nigeria is very significant as it is majorly made up of the Ijaw ethnic nationality, with the main language spoken being Ijaw aside dialects such as Izon, Kolukuma, Mein, Bomu, Nembe, Epie-Atisa, and Ogbia. Like all the other 35 states, it is divided into three senatorial zones, the Bayelsa Central, Bayelsa East and Bayelsa West. Under this democratic dispensation, the first governor, Late Chief DSP Alameiyeseigha, hailed from Southern Ijaw LGA of the Central Senatorial District; his deputy, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan who took over from him, is from Ogbia LGA of the East Senatorial Zone.
