Tukur threatens New PDP members with Suspension & Prosecution

Y'all know there are two PDP factions
now so to distinguish them we have
to call one - President Jonathan's PDP
and the one that broke away last
weekend - former VP Atiku Abubakar's
PDP. So the chairman of President
Jonathan's PDP Bamanga Tukur today
held a press conference in Abuja
where he threatened members of
Atiku's PDP with suspension, called
them impostors and said the police
should regard them as such. Lol. 2015
will be interesting. What he said at the
press conference below.
Our reason for being here is to
neither inform you without any iota of
doubt that the Peoples Democratic
Party has no faction and there is
neither room nor reason whatsoever
for such a claim under any guise.
The PDP has only one duly elected
National Executive Committee (NEC)
under my Chairmanship. I wish
therefore to state with all emphasis
that any group of persons parading
themselves as leaders of NEC or any
other organ of our party are
impostors and I urge all Nigerians,
especially the security agencies and
other institutions of democracy to
regard them as such.
Let me state categorically that the PDP
as the sole custodian of the sacred
mandate of over 160 million Nigerians
and who in the last fourteen years
has lifted high the banner of
democracy will not fold its arms while
some undemocratic and unpatriotic
elements destroy our common
destiny by causing divisions and
confusion among the people.
Consequently, we shall ensure that
any person who is not duly elected
into any leadership position in our
great party and has not been duly
assigned any role but goes ahead to
arrogate such to himself will be made
to face the full wrath of the law.
Similarly, all persons elected on the
platform of our great party at all levels
who identify with these enemies of
the oneness and greatness of our
party shall have their seats declared
vacant as required by law.
We shall leave no stone unturned to
ensure that such persons and indeed
any other individual who attempts to
subvert the leadership of the PDP shall
reap in full, the consequences of such
actions.
I wish to emphasize that the PDP has
adequate mechanism for internal
conflict resolution. All party members
are therefore advised to ventilate their
grievances through this medium.
There is only one lawfully recognized
PDP and I am firmly in charge,”
Bamanga Tukur declared.
Meanwhile 26 Senators and at least 57
members of the House of
Representatives have declared loyalty
to “The New PDP” chaired by
Abubakar Baraje.

US Congress gives Obama authority to use military force against Syria

Hmmm...wahala dey for Syria o. A
US Senate panel voted today to give
President Barack Obama the
authority to use military force
against Syria in response to a deadly
chemical weapons attack in
Damacus on August 21 that killed
over 1,400 people as they slept in
their homes.
The vote in the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee was the first in
a series as the president's request
makes its way through
congressional panels before coming
before the two chambers of
Congress for a final vote.
The full Senate is expected to vote
on the measure next week.
Obama's top advisers on
Wednesday took the argument for
action to the Republican-controlled
House of Representatives, where
the support seen in the Senate will
be harder to find.
The resolution would permit Obama
to order a limited military mission
against Syria, as long as it doesn't
exceed 90 days and involves no
American troops on the ground for
combat operations. (Associated

Meanwhile some Arab countries
have offered to pay for US military
invasion in Syria.
Secretary of State John Kerry said at
Wednesday’s hearing that Arab
counties have offered to pay for the
entirety of unseating President
Bashar al-Assad if the United States
took the lead militarily.
“With respect to Arab countries
offering to bear costs and to assess,
the answer is profoundly yes,” Kerry
said. “They have. That offer is on
the table.”
Asked by Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen
(R-Fla.) about how much those
countries would contribute, Kerry
said they have offered to pay for all
of a full invasion.
“In fact, some of them have said
that if the United States is prepared
to go do the whole thing the way
we’ve done it previously in other
places, they’ll carry that cost,” Kerry
said. “That’s how dedicated they are
at this. That’s not in the cards, and
nobody’s talking about it, but they’re
talking in serious ways about getting
this done.
