ABOUT two months after the death of former President Umaru Yar’Adua, his portrait is still causing ripple in Enugu State House of Assembly.

There was confusion at the office of the Speaker of the state House of Assembly, Honourable Eugene Odoh, on Tuesday, when a security detail attached to the speaker stopped a photo journalist from taking the picture of the portrait of the former president, which hung conspicuously in the office.

Reporters, who thronged the office of the speaker for a scheduled press briefing, on Tuesday, were astonished that two months after Yar’Adua had died, his portrait had not been replaced with that of his successor, President Goodluck Jonathan.

Nigerian Tribune learnt that no office at the state Assembly complex had the portrait of President Jonathan.

An attempt by the photo journalist to capture the portrait, which was placed side by side with that of Governor Sullivan Chime and Honourable Odoh, resulted in a near pandemonium, as the security detail attached to the speaker threatened to smash the cameras and seize the handsets of reporters.

But for the intervention of the speaker, one of the security details had attempted to interrupt the briefing when he tried to stop a reporter who wanted to take a picture of the portraits using his handset.

Asked whether it was out of love that the portrait was still being hung on the wall, the speaker said the portrait was still there because the House had not formally deliberated on it.

rollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll eyezzzzzzzzzzz.


These ppl are so useless! I'm going to assume that Nigeria is in perfect condition as of now, since we're busy discussing petty problems in the media.

The media needs to start making use of its power. They need to start making and breaking these politicians.

The media is in bed with the politicians. There is no adversarial discourse between the media and the government. We can thank IBB for that.

It is very unfortunate for the sad state that Nigeria is in. We only look at trivial matters while people are suffering.

I believe that the media has its own power. The media does have an impacts on ppl's opinion. And do ppl's opinion not matter in politics?
