Bayelsa, Kogi Polls : We'll reform our party, says PDP

 

In an interview, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Mr Kola Ologbondiyan, on Saturday said the reforms would involve membership drive and an overhaul of the party’s workings.

During the governorship elections, the PDP candidate in Kogi State, Mr Musa Wada, lost to the APC’s and incumbent governor, Mr Yahaya Bello, while in Bayelsa State, the PDP candidate, Mr Douye Diri, also lost to the APC’s, Mr David Lyon.  Also, the PDP candidate at the 2019 presidential election, Atiku Abubakar, recently lost to the APC’s President Muhammadu Buhari at both the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal and the Supreme Court.

Following the losses, Ologbondiyan said, “There will be reforms in the party, starting from membership drive and also an overhaul of the internal workings of the party.

“We would see how we can prepare ahead of future elections. We are working on the modalities to improve on our membership drive. It will come in any form.”

He alleged the commission had become partisan and favouring the APC.

“If he (Yakubu) is not removed from INEC, his tenure will spell doom for our nation’s democracy. We do not have confidence in INEC under him to conduct credible elections,” he said. Also, the Chairman, PDP Board of Trustees, Senator Walid Jibrin, said the party would be strengthened and made more united.

He stated that the BoT had formed various committees to assist its leadership.

RESTAURANT IN NEW YORK GETS GOVERNMENT APPROVAL TO SELL HUMAN FLESH AS MEAT Where else but New York City? A newly opened restaurant within the city limits is boasting the nation’s first license to serve human flesh on the menu. The restaurant, simply called SKIN, received a license after petitioning the state and federal governments over laws against cannibalism. “As a species, we are at the top of the food chain, and the only meat left to tackle was other humans,” said SKIN owner Mario Dorcy, a 4-star Michelin chef. “We battled long and hard to be able to serve human meat in our restaurant, and the government finally conceded that were were in the right.” Dorcy says that he has been fighting cannibal ordinance laws for over 10 years, and was finally given the green-light after he promised that the meat that was used would only come from people who had donated their bodies specifically to his restaurant, knowing full well that they would be eaten.    “We have to keep meticulou...
