President Zuma resigns, bows to party supremacy

ITREALMS:

President Jacob Zuma of South Africa has resigned his office with immediate effect, thus bowing to his party supremacy, reports ITRealms.

Zuma in a broadcast Wednesday to his country-men and women, monitored in Lagos by ITRealms on CNN, resigned after chronicling his acclaimed achievements in building the African National Congress (ANC) and South Africa.

ITRealms recalls that Mr. Zuma has been on a running battle with the party over alleged high-level corruption, but was given until Wednesday or face vote of no confidence in the parliament on Thursday, of which his party was warming up to lead and which may culminate in his impeachment according to the constitution of South Africa.

Zuma, 75-year-old will by this development hand over to his deputy president Cyril Ramaphosa, the newly elected ANC’s leader.


Former President Zuma came to power in 2009 after unseating Thabo Mbeki, and had been confronted with several allegations of corruption in recent times.

Buhari’s victory a regional conspiracy – Asari Dokubo

ITRealms:

Leader of the suspended Niger Delta Volunteers Force, Asari Dokubo has described the victory of General Muhammadu Buhari (retd) as victory of regional conspiracy and supremacy, reports ITRealms.

Asari Dokubo in a press statement made available to ITRealms through an aide, Rex Ekiugbo Anighoro dated April , 2015, said that the voting pattern clearly showed that the Gambari North and the Yorubas are united in the conquest of the Niger Deltans and the Igbos of defunct Biafra with the middle belt now used as pawns.

He said on behalf of the Southern Minorities Self Determination Groups popularly called Niger Delta Militants, that the election of Muhammadu Buhari as president is a clear indication that the country is not united. 

He alleged that the “Yoruba and Hausa collaborated to frustrate Jonathan, who hails from the Niger Delta region.”

He insisted that Nigerian union clearly reinforces the fact of self-determination and that Nigeria remains a very divided and separated entity whose claim to unity remains a fraud of gargantuan proportion.  

“The victory of Muhammadu Buhari is a historical reminder that we are a conquered people who are mere appendages existing at the pleasure of the supremacist and the regional overlords. We remain a people separated by our ideologies and interests; we are neither integrated nor reconciled,” he lamented.

Asari pointed out that the conditions that advanced the need to embrace the creeks have been sadly re-energized; it is clear that a vicious government who may maim and murder the voice of the so called minorities may have just been birthed.

“Indeed integration is nonexistent as regional gang ups and supremacy is symbolic with this victory,” he said.

Dokubo also said that while President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan enjoys his moments and bask in the euphoria of a now world renowned statesman having congratulated Muhammadu Buhari his conqueror, we must quickly remind that our struggle was never about Jonathan or about presidency.

“President Goodluck Jonathan was an establishment beneficiary of our struggle, our sweat and blood that many bled and died for, he was never in the struggle and he can never wish away our collective march forward for statesmanship,” he said.

Decrying the fact that Jonathan was to an extent a mitigating factor in self-determination pursuit as they (militant) went on sabbatical, this mitigation he seem to have willingly repudiated.

“The days coming will be critical, we shall study all the conditions and consult widely before determining the way going forward for our collective existence and survival as a people. The days coming shall either drive the quest of integration or further separate us,” Dokubo warned.
