Opara stated this at a news conference on the state of the nation on Monday in Owerri.
“Buhari’s anti-corruption fight is already re-shaping things politically and Nigeria will learn to do things differently in 2019,’’ he said.
The chairman said that his party planned to re-model Nigeria’s democracy if voted into power in 2019.
“We plan to introduce American democratic system so as to correct the tribal politics which is a threat to democracy in Nigeria,’’ he said.
He said that PMP would give the 2019 tickets to who won at its primaries irrespective of the persons’ tribes.
According to him, tribal politics has adversely affected the development of democracy in Nigeria, and the earlier Nigerians begin to de-emphasize tribalism, the better for the nation.
Opera said that PMP manifesto gave priority to youths and women development, adding that if voted into office in 2019, “we will emphasise on skill acquisition for youths and women.’’(NAN)

Buhari - Ikweremadu
President Buhari has been cautioned regarding an alleged plot to remove
Ekweremadu as deputy Senate president.
The Anglican archbishop of the Enugu province made the disclosure on
Monday, August 1.
According to Daily Post, the cleric asserted that the All Progressives
Congress (APC)-led administration has continued to rue the emergence of
Ekweremadu.
Speaking to journalists on the sideline of the town hall meeting
organized by the Federal Ministry of Information in Enugu, Chukwuma also
insisted that “Nigeria is negotiable because people are wounded; people
are being sidelined and this is what is causing this spate of bombings
by Avengers and all these people who are agitators.

“The more you make Nigerians to know that they are part of the
government and receive the social amenities and care, then there will be
no need for us to talk about restructuring.
“Restructuring will surely be done because the way things are going, it
has to be restructured. South-East is the only
zone that has five states. You have to restructure because without
restructuring there will be marginalization.”
“We need to know that Nigerians are Nigerians; to keep Nigeria as one
is a task that must be done, but Nigerians must be carried along without
any part being neglected in appointments, in infrastructure, and even
when you
see how they appoint some South-East people into government, it does not
translate to infrastructural development. It does not.”
He added that “this town hall meeting is an opening for the Minister to
tell the President that we are not happy; we need to be carried along,
we need to be recognized.
“But we appeal to our brothers, let us be patient and see what will
happen and this town hall meeting should not just be a jamboree, it
should be studied for implementation and action to take place as
soon as possible.”
On Ekweremadu, he noted that “What we are saying is that APC should not
be afraid of Ekweremadu; Ekweremadu is a very simple developing senator
and out of all the senators in the South East, Ekweremadu is the most, I
must say, loved, hard-working senator that APC can make use of to
develop Nigeria.
“We want to also express that it is unfortunate that the governor of Imo
State has continued to insult him and we say that this is not right, he
should be called to order by the APC because Ekweremadu was not elected
by the APC and election in the senate was not done by governors.
“So, if a senator is going to survive in the senate, that senator must
come to pay homage to the leading senator in
the South-East.

“The governor of Imo State should tread with caution, if he is an Igbo
man, otherwise he is a betrayer. I want to call him to order that if he
continues this way, the Igbos will deny him.
“Ekweremadu should be left alone to do his work, he has been elected
constitutionally as Deputy Senate President and nobody can remove him
there. If they do that, it means that this government doesn’t want the
Igbos, then you are calling for its secession from Nigeria because that
is the high ranking position we have and we are all behind him and he
has been performing, and he should be left to perform.”
Most Rev Dr Emmanuel Chukwuma, has also advised President Buhari on his
style of governance.
The Anglican Bishop said if things don’t change, the nation’s democracy
could die early.
Bishop Chukwuma said President Buhari was acting like a ‘military
democrat,’ while advising that if care is not taken Buhari’s
administration might not last.
While granting an interview with journalists an interview in Enugu, Dr
Chukwuma observed that a good number of Nigerians were sad with the way
President Buhari made his appointments.
Chukwuma noted that the conflict between the Presidency and the National
Assembly was overheating the polity. The Man of God expressed worries
that Buhari’s administration did not take any decisive step to address
the threat posed by the marauding herdsmen in different sections of
Nigeria.
