In the face of the attendant unprecedented hardship and impoverishment of majority of our people,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLabour\u2019s demand for a substantial salary raise is eminently justified and therefore commands the total support of the Forum<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile the Forum fully supports Labour\u2019s demand, agreement must take into consideration the ability to pay by the local government, sub-national and federal government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile negotiations are ongoing, we appeal for restraint in both utterances and actions that could lead to the complete breakdown of law and order and ultimately, the collapse of the economy,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>On the upcoming party congress, Governor Muhammed said @In the spirit of the founding fathers of our great party who adopted internal democracy as the fundamental principle on which our party was built, the congresses leading to the election of party leaders, at the various tiers, must be all-inclusive, transparent, fair and in strict compliance with the constitution of the party\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, in order to ensure the successful conduct of the congresses across the 36 states of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, the forum Admonishes all the parties to the elections to ensure that campaigns are issues-based, violence-free and in strict compliance with the provisions of the electoral act.<\/p>\n<p>The forum urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to provide a level playing field that guarantees transparent, fair and unimpeachable elections as any act of bias will be totally resisted.<\/p>\n<p>The Governor urged President Bola Tinubu to show leadership as a true democrat by refraining from making any statement suggestive of political interference in the entire process.<\/p>\n<p>On the economy state of the nation, the forum noted with dismay and grave concern the mismanagement of the economy by the APC-led Federal Government.<\/p>\n<p>On the Supreme Court ruling of the Local Government autonomy, he said \u201d we will continue to support the autonomy of the Local Governments as enshrined in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cForum holds the Supreme Court in the highest esteem, and is committed to obedience to court orders. However, the Forum urges that implementation of the court decision must be done in a manner that does not create a trust deficit between the federal governments and sub-national governments while also ensuring that the system does not suffer,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>Governor Mohammed said the Forum also noted the crises in the Rivers State Chapter of the party and commits to ensuring peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe forum also resolved to stand by His Excellency, Sir Sim Fubara, Governor of Rivers State; while at the same time employ wider consultations with stakeholders for a peaceful resolution and thus find a lasting solution to the crises,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>The forum therefore calls on all Nigerians to refrain from anarchy \u201cas we all march towards the return of the PDP to power in 2027\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The forum commended governor Peter Mbah of Enugu state for holding the party together not only in Enugu but in the entire South East and extolled his achievements within a very short time in office.<\/p>\n<p>Other governors in attendance at the meeting are Siminalayi Fubara of Rivers State, Seyi Makinde of Oyo, Umo Eno of Akwa-Ibom, Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta, Godwin Obaseki of Edo, Caleb Mutfwang of Plateau, Agbu Kefas of Taraba, Dauda Lawal of Zamfara, and Ahmadu Fintiri of Adamawa, Douye Diri of Bayelsa, and the host governor, Peter Mbah.<\/p>\n<p>Other participants include the Chairman of the PDP Board of Trustees, Senator Adolphus Wabara and the Acting National Chairman of the party, represented by the Deputy National Chairman, South, Ambassador Taofeek Arapaja, former governor of Kaduna State and former Acting National Chairman of the PDP, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, and former governor of Niger State, Dr. Babangida Aliyu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The forum noted with dismay and grave concern the mismanagement of the economy by the APC-led Federal Government.
