PDP Dares Gov.Oshiomhole To Deny He Begged Joining Them

-

Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has again challenged Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State to open up on how he practically begged to join the party instead of allowing his aides who knew nothing about it to be defending him.

The party, in a statement  in Abuja, by its National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, also dismissed claims by  Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, that  PDP could not have won the recent local government elections in Edo State on account of the party’s loss of last year’s gubernatorial election.
Challenging the governor to tell the world how he begged to join the PDP, the party said: “We view this step as necessary against the background of porous and laughable defence posted by both ACN and low cadre assistants to Governor Oshiomhole.
This challenge is direct to Oshiomhole. Let him prove wrong, a well documented overture he made to join PDP, a party he lately labelled ‘party of rogues.’ A word from the horse’s mouth will either settle this matter or further provide an avenue into the wicked lie that several leaders of the opposition live in our dear nation.
“We do not wish to debate here the contentious performance of Governor Oshiomhole for it pales into insignificance, when compared to that of other PDP state governors.
We do not also need to attack Governor Oshiomhole for reasons of relevance as his party alleged. We only challenged him on a well documented overture he desperately made to join our party. This challenge, he has not taken up because he knows the truth. Let him speak out.”
On claims by ACN that PDP could not have won a seat at the controversial Edo local government elections, Metuh accused  ACN of putting logic on the head, saying that there was no basis to say that “because Governor Oshiomhole won the state governorship election, ACN must win all the seats in a local election.”

Nigerians Are Good People Indeed

The dispatch with which ordinary Nigerians rescued the motorist whose vehicle plunged into the Lagos lagoon from the Third Mainland Bridge on Saturday, January 26, 2013 proved once more that Nigerians are great people. Unlike most stories from Nigeria that usually end on a sad and demoralising note, this story ended on a happy note like a Nollywood film. It was nothing short of a miracle. The sole occupant of that vehicle was brought out of the lagoon alive. But he was not rescued by the Nigerian Navy or the Nigeria Police Force; neither was he rescued by the National Emergency Management Agency or Lagos State Emergency Management Agency or any agency of Lagos State. Mr Shola Oladimeji was rescued by fishermen.  These were not fishermen that used modern boats with special gadgets or equipment. These were men with old-fashioned canoes with paddles. They saw a car plunge into the water and went swiftly and got the occupant of the vehicle out, alive.  Before the government a
