DAILY RENDEZVOUS

Daily Rendezvous  Our attention has been drawn to a press conference held in Abuja on Saturday by the Binani led faction of the APC in Adamawa, in which they accused the INEC of supporting His Excellency, The Rt. Hon. Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to win the 2023 election in Adamawa; in the same statement, they accused what they described as some Abuja APC powerful politicians of sabotaging their effort. This move too is fruitless and dead on arrival. It is always the antics of unsuccessful politicians who are desperate for power.

Daily Rendezvous THE PROPOSED PALLIATIVE CASH TRANSFERS ROBS THE POOR AND PAYS THE RICH: WE REJECT IT  We have restrained ourselves from making further comments publicly on the vexatious issues around the recent but unfortunate unilateral hike in the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) in the guise of the so-called subsidy withdrawal which has unleashed predictably as we had earlier warned unimaginable and unprecedented hardship, sorrow, anguish and suffering upon Nigerian workers and masses.  Our resolve is anchored on our strong and abiding faith in the outcomes of the processes of social dialogue and its mechanisms especially within a democratic setting which fortunately all the major stakeholders in the nation’s socioeconomic framework pleads to at this particular point in time though some have demonstrably shown that it does not go deeper than the rhetoric.  However, the government of Nigeria seems to have been misled into believing that resorting to impu...
