argon500:
Mr. Thompson said he has forgiven the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and will firmly support him in the forthcoming presidential election.

argon500:
I want to say categorically that Buhari as the head of state at the time,
didn’t order the detention of Mr. Tunde Thompson and Nduka
Irabor.

argon500:
He said time has healed any grudge he had against Mr. Buhari adding that he believed that Mr. Buhari arrested them because
he was misled.

• Gunmen Kill Two PDP Supporters, Rep Member Escapes
• Hoodlums Burn Jonathan’s Campaign Bus In Jos
BARELY one month to the February general elections, and
two days after the Baga, Borno State terror incident that
claimed about 2000 civilians, violence, rather than abate, is spreading beyond the insurgency-infested areas.
Two buses belonging to the President Goodluck Jonathan
Campaign Organisation were yesterday evening set ablaze
by a mob along the Hausa-dominated Bauchi Road in Jos, the
Jos North local Government Area of Plateau State capital.

Worried by intensive shootings and gun attacks
of its supporters on Tuesday by gunmen
suspected to be working for the Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP, in Rivers State, the
Greater Together Campaign Organisation which
is the governorship campaign team of All
Progressives Congress, has warned the PDP that
its plots to plunge Rivers into chaos would only
land it into self-destruction. Already about 8 APC
supporters who were shot by suspected PDP
gunmen and in critical condition, have been
receiving treatment at various hospitals. The
attacks took place at Abalama in Asari Toru local
government and Kira in Tai local government,
respectively.
In a statement by Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, Director
of Communications, Greater Together Campaign
Organisation, APC slammed PDP for resorting to
bloodshed and terror against Rivers people, the
same people its governorship candidate had
been telling he would give “new” life. “If PDP’s
“new” means killing and maiming Rivers people;
if PDP’s ”new” is unleashing dare-devil gunmen
on innocent, free Rivers people, then, our
people are in jeopardy”, the statement lamented
in part.
While disclosing that those who had bullets
lodged in their necks and arms and had been
unconscious had been receiving urgent medical
attention under the watch of expert hands in
Rivers State Government hospitals, Mrs.
Semenitari cautioned PDP against shedding the
blood of Rivers people. “Was it not their leader,
President Goodluck Jonathan, who said that no
blood of any Nigerian was worth his ambition?
Or, are Rivers people animals which blood should
be shed? Why this resort to barbarism and
politics of hate”? Mrs. Semenitari asked.
Semenitari challenged the PDP that rather than
resort to violence and bestial acts, it should
honourably pull out of the 2015 General
elections, or, re-build its culture to what is sane
and democratically acceptable.
While commiserating with the injured and
promising close care and treatment, Mrs.
Semenitari, who is also the Rivers state
Commissioner of Information and
Communications, declared that Rivers State had
been handed over to God, vowing that no level
of intimidation will return the state to dark days.
“The PDP should know that Rivers State and her
people have been handed over to God. Nothing,
not PDP’s gun-toting style of politics will return
Rivers State and her people to the dark days
when gunmen and criminal lords held sway”.
Recall that while APC supporters from Asari Toru
and Khana local governments, respectively, were
on their way to the party’s Presidential
Campaign inauguration at the Adokiye
Amiesimaka Sports Complex in Port Harcourt on
Tuesday, gunmen opened fire on them leaving
many unconscious and in their pool of blood.
Those shot and in critical condition include
Aadum Pya-Alu(male), who was shot on the leg;
Deemua Beatrice, shot on the back-arm; Sorbari
Npebee, shot in the head and neck; Barbe Jack,
stomach; and Victory Vinam, shot in the leg.
They were from Ward 6 in Khana while the other
victim was the driver of the second bus. Another
victim, Wisdom Akpogbara, also from Ward 6
Khana, and shot in the head, had by yesterday
been moved to a Rivers State-owned hospital
where he is receiving medical attention. The 6th
person shot in the stomach had also been
admitted for better treatment. The 3 whose
conditions were worse as they had relapsed into
unconsciousness had improved and stabillised
after medical doctors had extracted bullets from
their bodies.

yomanovic:
What thing that baffles me about this our president is before you know what, he'll say Nigeria is now the largest economy in Africa. Although I took time to google it and realised its true probably because of our enormous population, what puzzles me is the rapid and continuous way in which the Naira is being devalued. Moreso, compare Nigerians' standard of living to the likes of SA, Egypt and Kenya, its still relatively poor. So what's the president saying?
