The Rivers State chapter of the committee of friends of a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Perekeme Kpodoh, has raised the alarm over his continued detention claiming the action was an act of political vendetta.

The committee, led by its chairman, George Fubara, and its secretary, Chidi Uchena, warned that they would be forced to expose a lot of other issues at stake if Kpodoh, a leader of the APC in Bayelsa, is not freed.

According to them, Kpodoh is currently suffering from being vocal against the administration of Governor Seriake Dickson.

According to the committee of friends, “the governor got provoked after Kpodoh released a statement asking the governor to reduce his frequent travelling and face good governance in Bayelsa.

“Kpodoh also got the governor angry when he demanded that the Governor should respond to an allegation by former governor of the state, Timipre Sylva, on how his administration came about an alleged debt profile hanging on its neck,” the group said while claiming that the APC chieftain was robed into a case of alleged rape that had long been trashed.

The group quoted Kpodoh as explaining that the lady in question actually had a case involving the reported stealing N500,000.

The case, according to them was reported at a police station. However, the lady went ahead to claim, at another station, that she was r@ped.
The case was allegedly trashed when the truth was revealed.

“But because the state government now needed something to pin Kpodoh with, it went to dig up a dead issue and with the help of the police, ensured the detention of the politician.

“Let us not even forget that r@pe is bailable if that was truly the underlying issue here. But the level of connivance against the former special adviser on security to the Bayelsa state government calls for concern.

“When this same man was attacking perceived enemies of the government, officials clapped for him and hobnobbed with him. Now that he decided to say some things he thinks are not alright about the government, he is being victimised,” the group said.

It called on President Muhammadu Buhari, the National Security Adviser, the international community, human rights organizations, the media, the Nigeria Police Force as well as the National Judicial Council to intervene on the issue because the life of the APC chieftain is currently being threatened.

Freedom after speech is certainly not certain

How much you collect? I no know say them don dey share money.

Braze9:
Some times I ask myself this question, why do Nigerians want to remain backward? Have they not suffered enough? Have they not been humiliated enough?
Why do they want backward, incoherent, unintelligent, wimpish, technophobic, reactive, blind and clumsy old men to continue to continue to govern them.
Take a look at France President, Emmanuel Macron. That is the kind president Nigeria needs now. A young proactive, smart, intelligent, healthy, courageous president.

If we must progress as a nation, we must put tribalism and religion aside and vote for intelligent people who can use creative intelligence to solve the problem of Nigeria. There is no holy man in Nigeria. Almost everyone is corrupt to certain extent. It will be almost impossible to stop corruption at this level of national development. So let no one come to claim he is a saint. Let no one come to tell you he is fighting corruption. Corruption is part of us, so let no one waste our time telling us he is fighting corruption. Corruption can only leave Nigeria with strict laws and technology.

While we continue to fight the twin problem of corruption and poverty, we need an intelligent man to be at the helm of affairs to lead national development. Nigeria cannot afford to have blind leader as a president because the speed at which other countries are developing is scaring. We don't have time to waste.

Nigerians know deep inside their heart that Dr. Bukola Saraki is the smartest and the most intelligent politician in the country today and he is vying for the office of the president. We don't have time to waste with any unintelligent leader. So let's vote for Dr. Bukola Saraki and make him our president. Though he is not a Saint of which none of us is, he will redeem our image with his intelligence and world class education. Nigeria will no longer be a dustbin where anything goes.

We are late on National Development, so we don't have time to try unintelligent leaders again. An average Nigerian does not want to live in Nigeria. 90% of Nigerian youths if given opportunity will run away from Nigeria. All Nigerians both the youths and elderly will prefer to school in Europe or America. All Nigerians if given an opportunity will dump Nigerian Citizenship for American Citizenship or somewhere in Europe or Australia. We are backward in everything to the extent that a white man's garbage is a luxury for Nigerians.
All these happened because we have been allowing incompetent and unintelligent people to lead us.

I beg my fellow Nigerians to give Bukola Saraki a chance to lead the affairs of this great country as a president.

This is Winch hunt we will not take it

He was constituting public nuisance he should be hanged

between Buhari and Dickson,who is traveling more frequent.

The road linking Ogwashi-ukwu, to Egbudu-Akah(My place ), to Ekuku Agbor of Delta State is a mess and like a partway to forest..My people has been deprived the dividend of Democracy since the inception of Delta State..No road ,no water,no Electricity ;and this is a place that once produced the longest lasting king in the world(Obi Alfred okolie)..The Government of Delta State under the leadership of H/E Dr.Ifeanyi Okowa should do something about this..My people are passing through hell in transporting human and other resources in-and-out of the communities listed above...

He learned from Buhari so therefore, it is Buhari's fault.
