Ken Nnamani Frustrated At PDP’s Eleven Years In Power


If there is one person very frustrated at the way and manner, the ruling party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has ruled Nigeria since 1999, that person is no other than the former senate president, Sen. Ken Nnamani. The Gist Plus can reveal that Sen. Nnamani must have been deeply frustrated by events, known and unknown to the public, in the ruling PDP to have lashed out at the party the way he did penultimate Thursday in Abuja. Nnamani, one of the prominent members of the rebel PDP Reform Forum, not only ignored the party’s National Working Committee’s summon to come and defend himself against allegation of anti-party activities, he went ahead with the forum’s meeting. At the deliberation which was called to move the party forward, he declared the PDP as a liability. “How many of us now can say we are better off now? Yes, we have men in power for 11-years, but are we better off today? That is a question you should ask ourselves, unless we are courageous enough to ask ourselves, we will be deceiving ourselves as we go into 2011 election”, he said. It will be recall that Sen. Nnamani, along with 18 other members of the Reform Forum, has since been slammed with suspension by the PDP.


Peter Babalola In Regret For Disobeying Oyinlola And Ooni of Ife
The one time highly favoured Chief of Staff to the Governor of Osun State, Elder Peter Babalola, is now said to be reeling in agony as his planned gubernatorial ambition has now run into a hitch. The Gist Plus gathered that Babalola picked the gubernatorial form of intention of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) against the advice of his boss, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola and his godfather, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, the Ooni of Ife. We heard that Oyinlola and the leadership of the PDP in Osun State are said to have zoned the 2011 gubernatorial slot to Osun East Senatorial District, but Babalola is from Osun West Senatorial District. The Gist Plus gathered from sources that he (Babalola) was alleged to have flaunted the order of his boss by picking the form in the first place. Now that the ruling party in the Osun state has finally zoned the ticket to Osun East Senatorial District, the ex-chief of Staff is now said to be confused on his next line of action. Both Oyinlola and Ooni are now alleged not favourably disposed to seeing him again. Sources further said Babalola, who is popularly known as Peter Power, is now seriously biting his fingers. Not with the huge sum of money he has reportedly committed to his governorship ambition. And now we heard the grassroots politician is no longer in the good books of the Ooni of Ife and Oyinlola as well, but the Ikiri-born political strategist is now at a loss as to what would be his fate in the next political dispensation.
