The Peoples Democratic Party has said the All Progressives Congress is planning to use the various election petition tribunals across the states to take away the victories recorded by the party.

The APC defeated the PDP in the. March 28 presidential election. The party also defeated the PDP in a number of states, especially the north and south western states in the April 11 governorship elections.

Rising from a meeting of the National Working Committee and governor and Senators-elect under its platform in Abuja on Tuesday, the PDP warned that the APC is “planning to use the tribunals and ‘salamic’ arrangements to truncate and subvert the freely given mandate by the people in the states and constituencies”.

The outcome of the meeting, which was contained in a communiqué read by George Sekibo, a Senator-elect from Rivers state, also said the meeting vehemently frowns at the “shameless undemocratic ways and means being displayed by the outgoing APC lawmakers in Ekiti state towards effecting an unconstitutional change in government”.

5 The meeting equally expressed deep concerns at what it said was the plans by the APC to make the Nigeria a one-party state using crude and underhand undemocratic practice and thus reverse the gains of the PDP-led administration.

They also asked the Independent National Electoral Commission to be forthright and impartial in the handling of the various elections pending in Abia, Imo and Taraba states.

The meeting also commended President Goodluck Jonathan for his statesmanly disposition towards the sustenance of democracy and peace in the country.

The PDP said it frowned at the “unprecedented level of intimidation, harassment and undue persecution of the party members since the INEC declaration of the APC candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari”.

It also congratulated all the winners on the platform of the PDP in the elections and urge them to discharge their duties and form a formidable opposition that can redirect the fortunes of the country and sustain the gains of the present democratic era led by President Jonathan.

“The meeting stressed the importance of unity, peace and harmony in the party for effectiveness in its new role and warned that it will not condone agents of APC working as fifth columnists to destabilize the leadership of the party,” the communiqué said

Due to the xenophobic attacks, 8 Nigerians living in South Africa, have reportedly signified their intention to head back home.

Nigeria’s Consul General in South Africa, Amb. Uche Ajulu-Okeke, disclosed on Wednesday, that the Nigerian mission was already working with them to facilitate their journey back home.

“I am working with eight Nigerians who have indicated interest to go home. They are presently at the deportation holding facility at Limbola, South Africa.”

“The meeting was successful. Victims of the attacks came with wounds, including machete and gunshot wounds. They narrated how they were attacked and brought pictures.

5 We took note of all that. ‘The mission asked all the provincial chairmen of the union to collate all information reported.”

The All Progressives Congress has admonished the Peoples Democratic Party to stop being “a crying baby” and come to terms with the “cold, hard reality that its fortunes have since plummeted” and that it is now in opposition.

This was contained in a statement in Abuja on Wednesday by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed.

APC argued that the fact that the PDP devoted a substantial part of the communique, issued after the inaugural meeting of the its National Working Committee and Governors/Senators-elect, complaining about alleged harassment and intimidation by the APC, “when it should be strategising about the daunting task ahead of it,” showed that the erstwhile ruling party still did not understand the enormity of the challenges awaiting it as an opposition party.

It said the PDP was scared stiff of being in opposition, adding, “We don’t blame them as they have neither the capacity nor the commitment to be in opposition. A party that stood for nothing but looting and rent collection will naturally be afraid of being in opposition, where there is nothing to loot or rent to collect.”

APC advised the PDP to understand that it was not by repeating obvious lies that an opposition party could be effective, but “by being creative, knowledgeable, resourceful and above all credible.”

The party added, “It is not by cheap blackmail, but by being resilient.

“This is why we wish to extend to the National Working Committee of the PDP a free orientation, just as we have offered the party’s spokesman a free crash course on how to be an opposition party
spokesman. The theme of the orientation for the PDP NWC members will be ‘transitting from the ruling party to an opposition party’.

“In the first instance, there is no substitute for experience. Also, we believe that democracy will be deepened only when there is cooperation between the governing party and the opposition, hence the offer,” the party said.

APC slammed the PDP for daring to complain of harassment and intimidation by the APC, saying if any party was guilty of harassment, intimidation and impunity before, during and after the 2015 general elections, it was the PDP.

It stated, “Have they so soon forgotten the reckless show of shame by their OPC lackeys with the full support of the Nigeria Police Force in Lagos or the mindless bombings and killings of APC members in Rivers and Gombe states, among others? Only on Monday, APC supporters were again
reportedly killed in Rivers and Kaduna states.

“Haven’t the folks in the PDP seen the pictures being circulated of their (PDP) supporters brandishing machetes in broad daylight during the party’s campaign in Aba on Tuesday (April 21)?.”

APC also described as laughable the allegation by the PDP that the APC was trying to turn the country into a one-party state by luring and making irresistible offers to the leadership of the PDP.

I see no difference between Arsenal fans and Goodluck Jonathan's supporters.

Both are incurable optimists.

Even in failure, they remain where they are.

See what corruption is doing after GEJ stolen money to protest against GMB in London.

Hello Nairalanders, I just had my interview today, it was awesome, I made it, i just discovered that all you need to get this Visa is God’s Favor and sincerity. I prepared as if as was going for a multimillion dollar job interview. I prayed like I have never prayed before. Then God proved it in my life that he still remains the “Ancient of days”.
I read a lot of testimonies about people that made it and pple that didn’t make it. I prepared myself with this nairaland.
A lot of people were turned back because they were not sincere, some could not prove what they filled in their form, someone was asked the hotel he lounged when he travelled to Germany, he couldn’t remember, a lady said she is a manager in a company bt she doesn’t know her company’s website. Some couldn’t describe their job description in details. It could be that they were naïve, fear or lying (you can cheat, cram your book in school but when it comes to job experience, it flows). Others did everything write but were not favored. That’s y u need God.
See the truth is that this consulates are not wicked neither are they selfish or self centered. They are well trained, so they know when u are lying or telling the truth. If not for nairaland I would have lied that I have travelled as an infant (because I read a documentary that if you have not travelled to other countries before that America will not offer you their visa) but I also read someone’s testimony he said he has not travelled out before and he was offered visa), who knows I would have been denied.
This was how my interview went:
Vo: Good morning
Me: Good morning
VO: were in America are you going to
ME: I am goin to bla bla bla
VO: have you travelled outside Nigeria before
Me: Nup
VO: what are you goin to do in the USA
Me: Vacation
VO: who are you going to visit
Me: my Uncle
VO: whatz his name
Me: I told her
VO: were do you work
Me: I told her
VO: tell me about your job
Me: I told her
VO: Tell me more about your job
(then it became interesting)
ME: I then explained in details what she doesn’t understand about my job description but because she observed that I knew what I was saying, she then said oh you work in soo soo soo industry I said yes.
That was all.
VO: you can come back in two days and pick up your passport
Me: thanks
I am not writing this cos I want to write, I don’t even have the strength, I am doing it because the post in this house gave me hope n serious understanding about what is happening at the embassy, so when I went, there was no difference. Am also given you hope that if you believe in God n believe yourself, the sky is your limit.
The Truth is that I bore the mark of “God’s Favor” on my forehead. Because I was scared when I saw them turned some VIP’s back.

That was very brief. congrats bro.

quote author=drafrican post=30686664]An immigration lawyer is an expert on immigrant and emigrant related cases .
Secondly you had the right to ask for a lawyer to explain your rights to you at the POE before deportation,which is provided for in every country,They won't refuse or they would have breached protocol.
Thirdly you had the right to ask that your interview be recorded for legal purposes.
Your fit to fly covers a journey of a maximum of 24 hours and not longer so you could have asked for another certification as your fit to fly is invalid and because you are pregnant you are at risk of thromboembolism.
You could also have said you are feeling reduced fetal movement at which point you can't be deported because a doctor must certify your baby was not in danger, reduced fetal movement at any gestational age over 34 weeks will qualify you for an emergency c/section or at least a 3 day monitoring of you and your baby in a hospital by which time esparati would have replied.
This is not to blame you but to enlighten everyone about their rights.
Before she jails you, you have the right to a lawyer and it was a threat cos everything was an allegation no proof.
But with our right being abused everyday in Nigeria we don't know what our rights are.
[/quote]Thanks Drafican for that enlightenment.




Thanks Drafican for that enlightenment.

When God blesses his own, people marvel in disbelieve and say what kinda job is he into? who knows him when he was this and that?

God i acknowledge You as you are the one that raises men from the dust to seat with kings of the earth.
