orth central APC commends Tinubu for heeding their call for NEC meeting, national convention
The North Central All Progressive Congress (APC) Forum has commended President Bola Tinubu for heeding their call to convene the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting of the party towards planning for the national convention.
Speaking with newsmen on Wednesday in Jos the Plateau State capital on the issue, the forum’s Chairman, Alhaji Saleh Mandung Zazzaga, said the President has canvassed for the meeting through a letter from his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, to Umar Ganduje to be slated for September.
According to Zazzaga, the President, in the letter, is opting for either September 8 or September 19 for the NEC meeting, saying that their excitement is that the North Central APC has been calling the attention of the President to intervene in several issues brewing crises in the party, and to call for national convention.
Zazzaga who was also a member of the Presidential Campaign Council in the last election explained that the NEC meeting is a stepping stone towards the convention which they have been looking forward to using to ventilate some of their grievances in the party, especially from the North Central region which is a solid bedrock of the party.
“We want to commend President Bola Tinubu for calling the NEC meeting of the APC in this coming September. This has been our long term cry of the North Central APC so that many issues concerning the party can be addressed, and so that we can equally table our grievances from the North Central region and get it addressed before we forge ahead and intensify our plans ahead of the 2027 election.
“So the letter calling for the meeting from the President through his Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, to plan out the convention before the end of the year is a welcome development. This shows the President has listened to our call.
“Our role in APC from the from the North Central perspective right from the 2015 election to the 2023 election was very critical towards the success of the party at the polls.
“Hence, we will not spare any effort to pursue our cause and do things that will generally uplift the North Central zone, while we will continue to deepen our loyalty to the APC in general and continue working for the success of the party in one way or the order.
“Beside the strong contribution of the North Central to the development and sustenance of the APC over the years, as well as the tremendous support we gave to the emergence of President Bola Tinubu as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, the region has also delivered five governors for the APC out of the six states in the North Central region.
“Apart from Plateau State which is of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Kwara, Niger, Benue, Kogi and Nasarawa State is of the APC, and therefore the North Central region has made a strong statement on its achievement for the party and therefore deserves to be listened to and given its due respect and request.
“And our demand from the North Central is a well known fact. The North Central APC Forum along with various leaders and chieftains of the APC from the region have been intensifying push for the zoning of the National Chairmanship position of the party to the region, because that position is well deserved by the region owing to its contribution and it is our constitutional right, as well as the party arrangement.
“So, after the resignation of Abdullahi Adamu from Nasarawa State, someone from the North Central region should have been picked to replace him as the National Chairman, and not Abdullahi Ganduje from the North West state of Kano.
“That is why we have dragged Ganduje to the Federal High Court in Abuja, and the judgement is coming up on September 18 (a day before one of the dates, September 19, proposed by President Bola Tinubu for the convention). In any case, this NEC meeting should resolve so many lingering issues in the party,” he said.
Zazzaga said there are lots of intending prominent defectors from other political parties in the region, and they have been in close contact and communication with them, but many of them are reluctant to do so as they made it clear that they are not comfortable with the current party leadership led by Ganduje who is currently incurring legal liabilities for the party, even from his Kano State ward, as well as other charges against him.
Meanwhile, he lauded President Tinubu for the way he handled the recent national protest, saying that he did not make any inflammatory remarks, but rather outlined the steps taken by his administration to settle the numerous challenges in the country, even inherited ones.
He said the North Central APC also played a key role in making sure that there was no violent protest in the region as seen in some other places, adding that their press conference before the protest which they presented their stand on the protest, as well as their accompanying youths engagement had paid off.

Coalition for Jos End Bad Governance Protest 2024.
Urges President Tinubu to Listen to Cries of the Protesters Nation Wide.
Otubi Audu Jos
Prophet Isa El-Buba the Convener of Initiative for Better and Brighter Nigeria (IBBN) has Commended all resilient Nigerians, who have taken responsibility for their country for coming out to join #JosEndBadGovernanceProtest and indeed across Nigeria.
Prophet El-Buba who gave this commendation while addressing newsmen at his Jos residence on Monday, called on all of Nigerians to continue with demanding and the pursuit for a better Nigeria in unity and solidarity- just like” we have exemplified in the past four days here on the Plateau- with an unwavering commitment to non-violent resistance to injustice, corruption and lack of accountability”
He commended peaceful Prosters in Jos for the past for four days of united and peaceful protests in Jos and across Nigeria.
,”as we voiced our collective grievances and demanded for better governance. Its more than gratifying that our assembly across the country, especially the #JosEndBadGovernanceProtest has remained largely peaceful.Unfortunately, over 40 Nigerian people were massacred and several others injured in other parts of the country largely by security operatives and state-sponsored thugs in other states”
“. Our IBBN Youth Coordinator in Lagos state Comrade P-money Pascal was also a victim of these brutal attacks by the sponsored thugs who infiltrated our protests. We stand with them and our thoughts are with all of them for standing and fighting for a better Nigeria and a free Nation- where the President wouldn’t be greater than the rest of the country”
According to him,. Obviously “we have all succeeded in demonstrating that Nigerians are not and can never be slaves who will surrender their fundamental and democratic rights to anti-poor policies of self-serving, near tyrant regimes”
He urged Nigerians to. remain abundantly known that “we are against any form of violence and the vandalization of government and private individuals-owned properties as we go about demanding for Change- we must guide this”
. El-Buba said their hallmark remains non-violent resistance any time, any day and everywhere.
” Apparently, a lot of people have expressed fears about the protest. But like we may all be aware, Nigeria has been sitting on a time bomb for long concerning bad leadership, bad economy, insecurity etc. It was only a matter of time before the people would revolt and push back insensitive, selfish and tyrannical leadership.”
He added that if the national and subnational governments don’t change their ways to become responsive and responsible to the citizenry, what we have seen might just be the tip of an iceberg- He warned
“the revolution will simply not be televised! Because when you push a dog to the wall, it will bite you. Nigerians have been pushed to the wall for too long!Unfortunately, We’ve had this discussions severally that it’s dangerous for government not to address underlying trigger issues, we have given several advisories and media advocacies- they all fell on the deaf ears of self-serving despots” ..
“we call government. Listen everybody, we have a lot of hopeless people who have given up in this country and they have purposed in their hearts that there’s no more way to survive”
.”They’ve concluded that the government cannot and will not solve any problem in Nigeria. There’s nothing to live for again for them because of the total neglect of citizens and disconnect between citizens and government.Have we thought about the internally displaced people (IDP’s) where they are, how they’re surviving, what’s happening to them. They’ve largely been sacked by Boko Haram, bandits and kidnappers from their ancestral lands. We go about our normal businesses in the cities pretending that all is well”
He asked if . ” we ever thought of all this people and wonder how they’re surviving?Like I said before, what will trigger trouble will shock and surprise everybody in Nigeria. The President, National Assembly members and other Nigerians and their cronies, cannot be living lavishly at the expense of majority of Nigerians and preaching that the people should sacrifice for tomorrow. It doesn’t happen like that.Things are really bad in the country, no justice, no security, no food. It’s a very dangerous time we’re living in presently.” Prophet El-Buba warned
“My Foundation, the Dr. Isa El-Buba Foundation carried out a medical outreach in a Community in Bassa Local Government- where they provided free consultation, diagnosis and medications for the community. The most prevalent ailment diagnosed and drugs administered for was Ulcer!Though a lot of holier than thou are saying Christians and churches should not be on the streets protesting. Well, who bears church members bills, and have we thought how our church members” he asked
” Shall we continue to lead them to pray that God will make a way for them, when we sincerely know that the system and structure of this country is what needs to be fixed, if not overhauled for there to come about a way? Someone said and I quote” An average Nigerian may not remember God if he has the opportunity to travel abroad where things are working and he suddenly finds out that most of his basic needs he use to pray for are not prayer points in his new location”.
He said some of the prayer points “we make in Nigeria are simply routine governance supplies in other climes.We can only pray that the good LORD will take charge of this country and avert any evil as a result of bad governance over the years” .
“We have heard President Tinubu’s Sunday 4th August 2024 self-praising speech about the protests by the Nigerian Youths and people over the condition of hunger and hardship in the country which greatly failed to speak to the specific demands of protesters”
Prophet El-Buba said President.Tinubu did not speak on reversing his horrible and devastating economic policies, he made no attempt to cut down government excessive spending on frivolities and over bloated cabinet of non-performing Ministers.
..”Tinubu made no concessions but was quick to call for dialogue without outlining any meaningful machinery or system in place for this and ordering for the suspension of our protests. Instead of getting frightened about our ever peaceful and united End Bad Governance protests and in the case of Plateau State, shamefully using the Governor of Plateau State in an attempt to truncate legitimate voices through curfew imposement in a peaceful Jos metropolis;”
” we call on President Tinubu to simply rise to the occasion and speak to the issues and demands of protesters”
.He urged President Tinubu to come to terms with their protests which have nothing to do with political partisanship; but remains borne by Nigeria’s current hardship which is not survivable, and fueled by Bad governance.
He advised President Tinubu to know that there remains no alternative to restoring petrol and electricity subsidies as Energy security for the Nigerian people now will enhance national security since it was these subsidies whose removal created the conditions that powers the protests in the first scenario.
” We therefore call on President Tinubu to be weary of the sycophancy and flattery by subordinates who are shielding him from the brutal harsh truths of the Nigerian state and making him lose touch with reality.” .” Our demands simply remain:Mr. President should show sensitivity and leadership to the plight of ordinary Nigerians by leading in making sacrifices through cutting down on excessive government spending as well as cutting the cost of governance in Nigeria- especially on abolishing spending plans like expending N150 Billion for an Airbus A330 Presidential Jet, the allocation of N13.5 billion renovation of presidential villa, and or N7.3 billion for the purchase of state house cars and similar vexatious spending unbecoming of a President who wants poor Nigerians to show understanding and make sacrifices for harrowing hardship and penury brought about by same government’s policies,
He also urged President to relieve from his cabinet, non performing Ministers and bring on board a crack team of technocrats that would deliver on every sector so as to move Nigeria forward
.President Bola Ahmed he also demands Tinubu should reinstate a corruption-free fuel subsidy regime to address hunger, starvation and poverty or empower Nigerian indigenous private/government oil refineries to locally access and refine crude oil in Nigeria to crash down the cost of exporting crude oil and importing petrol.

The Coalition of Indigenous Youth Organizations in Plateau State on Wednesday back out from the Planned August 1st nation wide Protest over the current economic hardship in the country.
The spokesman of the group Comrade Paul Joshua Dekete and the Secretary Amb.Duwam Bosko while addressing newsmen in Jos at NUJ Secretariat in Jos emphasized on the need to consider the current state of the nation, especially concerning the economic challenges faced by citizens.
The coalition reflected on the troubling history of violence and insecurity that many communities in Plateau State, including Barkin Ladi, Bassa, Bokkos, Mangu, Riyom, and Jos South, have suffered and endured.
The coalition spokesman denounced the massacre of innocent villagers, particularly women and children in the recent past by unknown gun men in parts of Plateau and expressed deep concern over the ongoing violence, kidnapping, and banditry that continue to impoverish and displace various communities on the Plateau.
They highlighted the alarming rates of unemployment and substance abuse among the youths, noting that many are feeling despondent and disillusioned.
However, they recognized the recent efforts of Governor Caleb Mutfwang’s administration as a glimmer of hope for peace and economic recovery in the state.
” While acknowledging the legitimate grievances that have led to the call for a nationwide protest on August 1st, the coalition urged the citizens of Plateau State to refrain from participating in the upcoming demonstration.
They cited unique security challenges that could further endanger their communities and exacerbate existing tensions.
“The economic hardship we face in Plateau State is compounded by the sustained persecution our people have suffered for decades,”
The coalition spokesman stated that “Participating in the nationwide protest could unwittingly allow our oppressors to inflict further harm, bloodshed, and chaos upon our peace-loving communities.”
On the way forward, the Coalition of Indigenous Youth Organizations reaffirmed their commitment to promoting peace and tranquility in Plateau State.
They also praised the efforts of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Governor Caleb Mutfwang in taking responsible steps to alleviate the suffering of the populace and stabilize the economy.
The coalition called on all Plateau youths to withdraw from the nationwide protest and urged government officials at all levels to continue to implement policies that focuses on the well-being of the citizens, including direct interventions in critical sectors such as oil and gas, food production, transportation, energy, and youth empowerment.
They recommended a review of fuel pricing, advocate against reinstating fuel subsidies, and called for the dismissal of individuals within the oil and gas sector whose actions exacerbate insecurity.
The coalition spokesman expressed commitment to support vulnerable populations, including internally displaced persons, orphans, And widows, and called for expanded government and NGO initiatives to assist these communities.
He affirmed their belief in constitutional rights, including the right to protest and maintained that the current security landscape poses significant risks.
They also appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to appoint a minister from Plateau State to represent the people of Plateau state at federal executive Council.
Ahead of the planned nationwide protest scheduled for August 1, the Plateau Communities Youth Leaders Coalition has said it would not take part in the Protest exercise on the Plateau.
The group made this declaration through its spokesman, Pololis Gyang, at a press briefing in Jos, the Plateau State capital.
Gyang said, “We in Plateau State wish to unequivocally dissociate ourselves from the anticipated protest due to the ambiguous and unclear circumstances surrounding it.
“As responsible youth leaders within our respective communities, we are deeply committed to the welfare and well-being of our people. We pursue these objectives with a foundation of equity and reciprocity, aiming for the peace and development of our communities.
“We recognize the devastating impact of the current hardship, pain, and distress our people are enduring. Many have lost their sources of livelihood, and some cannot even provide for themselves and their families.
“We empathize with the yearnings and aspirations of our dear people and express our unwavering commitment to finding constructive ways to alleviate their suffering and improve their living conditions.
“We cannot feign ignorance or indifference to the motives behind those calling for the nationwide protest. We acknowledge the widespread hunger, hardship, and uncertainty regarding the state of our economy.
“However, the suspicious manner in which the protest is being orchestrated raises significant concerns.
“We believe that the right to protest is fundamental and inalienable, particularly in seeking better living conditions for our people. Nonetheless, we remain unconvinced by the motives of the organizers”, he maintained.
“It is impossible for a protest of the proposed scale to be devoid of sponsors, just as it is inconceivable to have smoke without fire. Why have the sponsors of this protest remained hidden and unknown, and why have they failed to clearly articulate the motives behind the protest? These are pressing questions that demand answers.
“As youth leaders in Plateau State, we have witnessed numerous tensions leading to the loss of lives and properties, arising from protests such as ENDSARS and others. Sadly, we continue to live with the devastating effects of such protests to this day”, he decried.
“Moreover, we are aware of the ongoing recruitment of touts, cultists, students, and individuals of questionable character within our communities. We question why the shadow mobilizers for the protest are resorting to such measures if not to foment trouble and cause mayhem”, he further stated.
“We also urge our people to protect their communities from elements seeking to cause pandemonium to further their hidden agendas, which are contrary to the peace and stability of our dear state.
“As a constructive approach to addressing the debilitating economic situation in the country, we are ready and determined to engage the government at all levels in finding lasting solutions to our problems.
“Through constructive dialogue, we are confident that we will achieve our desired goals. We are willing to meet with the government to make recommendations aimed at tackling the economic crisis in the country.
“We choose not to participate in protests that may plunge our state into anarchy, chaos, and untold hardship. We are acutely aware of the repercussions of previous protests that led to the destruction of businesses and the livelihoods of individuals in the state.”
As the nation navigates the challenges of fuel price hikes, high dollar exchange rates and increasing cost of living, the NCPC Executive Secretary has urged all Nigerians to remain calm and peaceful.
” While frustrations are understandable, I implore us to consider the efforts of our President, who has been working tirelessly to address these issues.”
According to him, despite the difficulties, the President has been implementing palliatives across the states to alleviate the suffering.
“I encourage us to refrain from participating in the planned nationwide protest and instead explore alternative channels for expressing our concerns.”
“Let us engage in peaceful dialogue, constructive criticism, and collaborative problem-solving.”
” We must work together to find solutions that benefit our nation as a whole. Nigeria is like a ship in a storm; we must work together to keep it afloat, rather than risking it being dashed on the rocks of unrest and chaos.”
He called on all Nigerians to continue praying for our nation and its leaders,especially our President, for wisdom and guidance in these challenging times.”
He urged Nigerians to choose the path of peace, patience, and perseverance, and work together to build a better Nigeria.
He added that God would continue to bless Nigeria and guide us towards a brighter future for us all.
