The largest ethnic group in Akwa Ibom State, the Ibibio, during the week, dissociated itself from the ambition of former junior minister, Senator John Akpanudoedehe of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), over his alleged divisive actions and utterances. At a meeting recently at the palace of Ntisong Ibibio, the Akwa Esop Imaisong Ibibio, the umbrella association comprising traditional rulers, elders, leaders and stakeholders in Ibibioland, suspended Udoedehe’s campaign manager, Obong Thomas Akpan, for allegedly sponsoring some incisive and divisive publications in some local newspapers. Akpan and his principal were accused by the organisation of “preaching ethnic division in Akwa Ibom State in the name of campaigning for votes, instead of espousing his manifestoes and programmes.” One of the offending publications had quoted Ntisong Essien Udo Ekidem III, the leader of the group as saying “that Ibibio people had been used for sacrifice in the past three years by the Akpabio administration, hence, the Ibibio should not vote a non-Ibibio.” Members of the Esop were said to have unanimously reaffirmed support for Governor Akpabio, based on what they described as “his unprecedented and uncommon transformation both in Ibibioland and the entire state.” Reiterating the stance of the Ibibio, the patriarch of the Esop, Ntisong Ekidem, in a press release, dissociated himself and the entire Esop from Udoedehe’s utterances and publications, saying, “I completely dissociate myself and the Akwa Esop Imaisong Ibibio from the said publication as they are ill-conceived, malicious, irresponsible, false, reckless and highly embarrassing to me, the membership of Akwa Esop Imaisong Ibibio and indeed the entire Ibibio race.” The said publication is intended to cause disaffection among the entire Ibibio race, the government and our sister ethnic groups in the state”, Ekidem said. Ntisong Ekidem described them “desperate political wolves who are always craving for the slightest opportunity to foment trouble in the state” advising the peace loving and good people of Akwa Ibom and residents to consign it to the dust-bin of negativism. “It must be stressed that I, the membership of Akwa Esop Imaisong Ibibio and indeed, the entire Ibibio race are satisfied with the excellent performance of the administration of Chief Godswill Obot Akpabio, which can be seen in the fair and equitable distribution of projects and appointments in the State. It was for this reason that the Ibibio race unanimously endorsed him for a second term at Asan Ibibio on October 10, 2009. It must be stressed that as credible leaders of Ibibioland, we are not given to double speak. Thus, I wish to once again declare for the avoidance of doubt that, ‘on Asan Ibibio declaration we stand’”, he added The Ntisong said they have noted the current security challenges in the state and that “Akwa Esop Imaisong Ibibio is satisfied with the measures the State Government has so far taken and urges all Akwa Ibom persons to cooperate with the state government to ensure that the criminals are made to face the full weight of the law”. Akwa Esop wishes to warn mischief makers who are in the habit of using a crime committed in the state as a political weapon to divide the state along tribal lines and fan embers of disunity, discord and acrimony to desist forthwith”, the release said. With the massive show of solidarity from the Ibibios, the April election may well be a work over for Governor Akpabio, despite attempts by his opponents to stop him through discrediting his government. It was also learnt that the leadership of the largest ethnic group in the state decided to reaffirm its support for the second term ambition of Governor Akpabio based on the fact that it was not yet the turn of Uyo Senatorial district to produce the next governor having served out its eight year tenure through Obong Victor Attah and it was therefore normal and in the spirit of fairness and equal right that Ikot Ekpene district be allowed to complete its eight year tenure through the incumbent governor. http://tribune.com.ng/sun/index.php/front-page-articles/3214-ibibio-people-disown-akpanudoedehesuspend-campaign-coordinator-reaffirm-support-for-akpabio |
Apressure group from Imo State, Imo Interest Group on Friday announced plans to begin a campaign aimed at sensitising indigenes and voters in Imo State to vote out the state governor, Ikedi Ohakim, in the April 2011 governorship election in the state. In a statement issued on Friday in Abuja and signed by Barrister Uchenna Nwachukwu, the group’s co-coordinator, they said their grouse with Governor Ohakim is his non-performance in office. The group said they were angry that despite the fact that the state governor has nothing to show for his four years stay in office, the governor is now using religion in his bid to win a second term in office. The group condemned in its entirety the upsurge in the politicisation of religion in the state by Governor Ohakim. They bemoaned what they called the use of money to lure some priests and members of the clergy in Okigwe as reported in a national newspaper. The group commend-ed the men of God for rejecting the Greek gift, “because the strange offer from Ohakim connoted a bizarre effort to silence the priests in the face of rising tyranny, oppression and misrule in Imo State.” The group also took a swipe at one of the gover-nor’s men who was reported to have offered a priest N1 million after he tricked the religious men/women into coming for a meeting in his house in Mbano. Expressing anger over the entire episode which took place in the state recently, the group said: “Imagine the mockery and mischief that would have brought to the church leaders in the state and to the entire Christendom had the priests accepted the money. The Imo Interest Group, in the press statement, condemned the level of desperation to win the Catholic Church by all means as exhibited in the announcement of Viola Onwuliri, a professor and wife of a knight of the Catholic Church, as his running mates in the April governorship election in the state. Onwuliri, from Ahiazu Mbaise LGA replaced Ada Okwuonu, the deputy governor and an Anglican from Aboh- Mbaise. Coming at a time the governor was not known to have had any problem with his deputy, Ada Okwuonu, a member of the Anglican Church , the group said “the choice of Onwuliri is widely believed to be an act of desperation which has the potency of pitching a section of the state against another. http://tribune.com.ng/sun/index.php/news/3221-imo-group-begins-campaign-against-ohakims-re-election- |
Residents of Jos, the Plateau State capital have expressed disappointment that the visit of the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, to Jos on Thursday, did not give them much hope on the security situation in the state. Many residents of the city who spoke to SUNDAY PUNCH on Friday said they had expected that the President would have made a concrete statement on the security situation in the state so as to give them confidence and hope. Acting Director, Centre for Conflict Management and Peace Studies of the University of Jos, Prof Audu Gambo, and a lecturer in the centre, Mr. Joseph Longmang, who spoke to our correspondent in separate interviews, said the president did not use the opportunity of the visit to address security which was the most critical need of the people of the state. Gambo said, “What the ordinary citizen of Plateau expected at this time, beyond the rhetoric of politicking, is that the president should have made a categorical and firm statement on how to restore peace on the Plateau. Instead of addressing critical issues like security that will give the people hope in the face of the recurring crises in the state, his visit left the people of the state disappointed.” Gambo also expressed disappointment that even Governor Jonah Jang had not taken the issue of security very seriously. Longmang, who shared Gambo’s opinion, said the president should have used the opportunity to lay a foundation for a lasting peace on the Plateau. He said, “I quite appreciate the fact that the president was on a state visit and, as such, should perform a state function, but given the situation on the Plateau, we had expected that his visit would give a semblance of peace in the face of the degenerating security situation in the state. Perhaps he should have taken a step, which might not have been taken in the past to lay the foundation for peace. “If I were the president, I would have taken the opportunity of the visit to the Gbong Gwom’s Palace to take a walk along Moshalasi Juma’a to assure the residents that the government is there for them. “I should have equally used that opportunity to organise a peace meeting where I will be the chairman, where I will use my paraphernalia of office to engender a lasting peace, considering the fact that this is no longer a Plateau problem. This will create a very big impression that government is abreast of the situation in the state. It will not give people the impression that what the president is interested in is only in their votes.” Longmang noted that if the president had done all these and even talked about his meeting with stakeholders, it would lay a solid foundation for sustainable peace in the state. http://www.punchng.com/Articl.aspx?theartic=Art201102201461512 |

BY DAYO JOHNSON AKURE—POLICE in Ondo State have secured the release of Oba Samuel Oyegbemi, abducted by some militant youths in riverine Ijaw community, Iju-Osun, Ondo State. Last week the militants invaded the town and abducted Oba Oyegbemi, set his palace ablaze, other buildings and allegedly killed five persons. Speaking with newsmen, Ondo State Police Command Public Relations Officer, PRO, Mr. Aremu Adeniran, said the monarch, was hale and hearty. Adeniran said a combined team of the anti-riot and regular police officers, deplored in the area, secured the release of the monarch on Saturday. He said the monarch was in high spirit and was not rough-handled by the Ijaw youths who abducted him after setting his palace and other houses ablaze, during their rampage. He said nobody had been arrested by the police over the unfortunate development, but confirmed that the command had begun investigation into the matter. Reports had it that some Militants youths from Ijaw invaded Iju-Osun town in the Irele Local Government Area of Ondo State and burnt the place. Adeniran, however said only two lives were lost while the palace of the monarch and two other houses were torched. According to him that the ijaw youths were probably on a revenge mission following the discovery of the body of an ex militants in Iju-Osun, on Thursday. He said, “Security has been beefed up to avert further loss of life Ikale. Our men are there. We are making efforts to release the monarch. The man is good. No report of any clash was recorded before the discovery of the corpse of the late monarch in the town” It was learnt that the invasion of the town by the ex-militants, followed the mysterious death of a middle aged Ijaw man, simply identified as Samuel in the town. The deceased reportedly hailed from Arogbo Ijaw in Ese odo local government. A High Chief in the town told reporters on Friday that the militants shot sporadically and later set several houses including the palace of the Olughogho of Iju –Osun, ablaze. He said residents of neighboring towns like Ajagba, Akotogbo and other villages in the area had also fled their towns in anticipation of possible invasion by aggrieved militants in the Ijaw communities . http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/02/police-secure-release-of-abducted-monarch/ |

A PEOPLES Democratic Party, PDP, Chieftain in Sokoto State, Muktar Mapia, weekend, advocated death penalty for public office holders found guilty of embezzling public funds. Mapia said in Sokoto that such law would bring to an end cases of corrupt practice among public office holders. He said that the nation would have achieved a lot since independence if proper measures were put in place to check the activities of corrupt public office holders. He said: “Just take a look at China. Any public officer found wanting is publicly executed. We have suffered too much in the hand of corrupt public office holders and it is time to put behind us corruption for the sake of generation yet unborn.” He said that the future generation would not “forgive us if we fail to lay a sound economic foundation for them”. He also called on the judiciary to complement the effort of the Federal Government in the fight against corrupt practice. “For us as a nation to achieve our desire of building a strong and viable country, we must fight corruption in all ramifications“, he said. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2011/02/pdp-chieftain-advocates-death-penalty-for-embezzlement/ |
