The recent developments surrounding the APC Senatorial Primary Election in Plateau North have raised serious concerns among party faithful and lovers of democracy.

It is deeply troubling that members were denied the free and fair opportunity to elect the candidate of their choice through a transparent democratic process.

The foundation of every credible democracy rests upon the sanctity of the people’s mandate, internal party democracy, fairness, and due process.

While political leadership and influence remain legitimate within party politics, the imposition of outcomes against the popular will of party members weakens confidence in democratic institutions and risks alienating loyal stakeholders who have laboured tirelessly for the growth and stability of the party.

It is public knowledge that the Senatorial primary elections were not conducted in Plateau North. Rather, results were concocted and allocated to suit a predetermined outcome. It would therefore be injurious to, and a negation of good conscience and the fear of God for anyone to assert the contrary.

The strength of the APC has always been its people — the grassroots members whose voices and votes must never be substituted by predetermined arrangements.

We have noted that the national chairman of the APC has clarified that the National Working Committee is studying the reports of the Appeal Committee on the conduct of the National Assembly primary elections after which the right thing will be done.

In view of the foregoing, we urge our supporters and party faithful to remain vigilant and peaceful as Plateau North awaits justice from the National Working Committee.

Our position is predicated and rooted in the defence of justice, equity, and the democratic rights of APC members and the people of Plateau North.

Comrade Lot Adas
Director General
I. D. Gyang Campaign Council.

The Dangote Petroleum Refinery has reduced its gantry price for aviation turbine kerosene (ATK), commonly known as jet fuel, to N1,450 per litre.

A source at the refinery confirmed the development on Friday, saying the price was reduced from N1,550 per litre to N1,450 per litre.

According to the source, the adjustment took effect on Tuesday.

The latest reduction comes less than two weeks after the refinery lowered the ex-depot price of premium motor spirit (PMS), also known as petrol, by N75 per litre.

In a circular to oil marketers, the refinery said the petrol price adjustment, which took effect on 16 June, followed developments in the international energy market.

PETROAN calls for price review

Following the decline in global crude oil prices, the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN) called on refiners, depot owners and fuel importers to reflect the changes in their ex-depot and retail prices.

The association said lower crude oil prices provide an opportunity for operators in the downstream petroleum sector to reduce prices and provide relief for consumers.

Jet fuel remains one of the major operating costs for airlines, making changes in its price closely watched by operators in the aviation sector.

Why attacks against Peter Obi can’t succeed – Sam Amadi

Director of the Abuja School of Social Thought and Politics, Sam Amadi, has said that attacks against presidential candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, Mr Peter Obi, have failed to diminish his popularity because there are no credible allegations of corruption or scandal against him.

Amadi made the remarks in a post on X on Saturday while reacting to a debate sparked by comments from actor-turned-politician, Kenneth Okonkwo, regarding Obi and his supporters.

An X user, @RealQueenBee, had referenced recent remarks by Okonkwo where he threatened to release information that could damage Obi’s political career if supporters of the former presidential candidate continued to attack him online.

Reacting to the post, Amadi said Obi’s political appeal remains intact because critics have not presented factual evidence capable of damaging his reputation.

He wrote: “Attacks against @PeterObi dont stick much because he has little or nothing that is scandalous or corrupt. All the other presidential candidates today cannot boast of that record.

“His political popularity is not damaged because his traducers are merely expressing elitist derision and not bombing him with any factual revelation

“He is still the best available on presidential slate today.”

Amadi argued that most attacks against the former Anambra State governor amount to elitist criticism rather than revelations of wrongdoing.

He further stated that Obi’s record in public service has helped shield him from political attacks, adding that other presidential contenders cannot claim a similar level of freedom from allegations of corruption.

Amadi also maintained that Obi remains the strongest option among the current crop of presidential hopefuls, insisting that his popularity continues to endure despite sustained criticism from opponents.
