The factional National Publicity Secretary of the Social Democratic Party, Alpha Muhammad, has berated the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi for ejecting non-indigenes from Anambra State when he (Obi) was governor in the state.

Muhammad, who spoke in an interview with Saturday PUNCH on Thursday, said the incident was still fresh in the minds of Nigerians.

He also recalled that the non-indigenes, who were sent packing from the state, had to settle in Lagos State.

Muhammad was speaking against the backdrop that the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, would be an adopted candidate of the SDP as soon as talks and consultations were concluded by the party.

He stated, “When Peter Obi was busy increasing school fees in Anambra State, Tinubu was busy introducing free education, Anambra were rushing to Lagos to benefit from free education. Every day, you see a truckload of people going to Lagos in buses to benefit from Tinubu’s free education.

He added, “When Peter Obi came, we know what he did to non-indigenes; people who are non-Anambra citizens in Anambra State were sent out of the civil service. Many of them ended up in Lagos.

He revealed that the APC presidential candidate gave non indigenes of Lagos State opportunities in the civil service, some occupied political offices, among others, adding that he is the type of leaders that can unify the country.

However, the media aide to LP presidential candidate, Valentine Obienyem, did not respond to calls put across to him to react to the allegation. He also did not respond to a message sent to him on the matter.

silvoclaira:

Oh Naija. Anything associated with Nigeria gives us joy and also brings so much pain.


Life is just like that




My sympathy to the families of those affected

Abassmt:
Thank you for raising this point. Because I don't know how people will just come on public forum like this to deceive multitude of Nigerians like this because of hatred, and some time l almost believe nothing was going on this bridge.

kay29000:
I still can't believe this bridge is now finished and fully functional... All year, whenever news was reported on the progress of construction on site, there were always people on here saying they lived close to the bridge and that no work was being done, that it was all a lie.

fuckJones:
it took IPOb elders 48 hours to take Mr president

Urheadmaster:



It still doesn't change the fact that APC is a group of misplaced priorities



God forbids BATting

Apex Igbo sociocultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for keeping to his promise of completing the Second Niger Bridge before the expiration of his tenure.

The Second Niger Bridge was on December 15 opened to motorists ahead of Christmas and New Year celebrations, which usually come with heavy traffic in the Southeast.

Ohanaeze, in a statement by its spokesman, Alex Ogbonnia on Friday, described the bridge as “a key national infrastructure, with immense socio-economic benefits not only for the contiguous states but for the entire nation”.

Ohanaeze stated that the clamour for a second Niger bridge became necessary shortly after the Nigerian Civil War.

It recalled that several administrations had used the Second Niger Bridge as a bait on the Igbo, especially during political campaigns and still never fulfilled until President Muhammadu Buhari came on board.

“The first Niger Bridge was commissioned in 1965 and Nigerian war broke out in 1967. The bridge was therefore not exempted from the devastating effects.

“The second Niger Bridge has been a major concern to the Igbo for over fifty years because of two major reasons.; apart from the traffic lock jam on top of the bridge, the greatest fear was that the bridge had evidence of cracks such that the stress of weights on the bridge could cause collapse all the vehicles and their contents into the River Niger with untold consequences.

“Based on the general clamour for a Second Niger Bridge, the former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida, in 1992, challenged the Nigerian Engineers to come up with a design of the second bridge. It was believed that upon completion, the bridge will ease traffic flow, allay fears, improve road safety and create greater road user confidence among the commuters.

“Several administrations had used the Second Niger Bridge as a bait on the Igbo, especially during the political campaigns. When President Buhari promised that he will complete the second Niger Bridge, not many believed, especially when he could not conceal his lopsided political appointments and other resource allocations against the Southeast.

“On assumption of office as the President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Ambassador Professor George Obiozor in company of several APC government officials on February 6, 2021 visited the site wherein he remarked that the “people of the Southeast would continue to be grateful to the present federal government for hearkening to the needs of Ndigbo”.

“A few days ago, the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN), disclosed that the Second Niger Bridge would be open to traffic from December 15, 2022, to January 15, 2023, to ease the experience of travellers during the Yuletide break. And so, it has come.

“Surely, President Buhari did not start the work on the bridge, but in a country where the abandoned projects far outnumber the completed ones, vital infrastructure that should have been taken for granted are celebrated.

“While the Ohanaeze Ndigbo led by Obiozor immensely appreciates Mr President on the Second Niger Bridge, it is hoped that Mr. President will use the remaining few months in office to pursue some other transcendental objectives which will write his name with gold in the sands of time”.

The Enugu East senator, Chimaroke Nnamani, on Wednesday, described broadcast journalist Reuben Abati as a politician who disguises as a journalist.

The senator, in a thread on his official Twitter handle, alleged that Mr Abati who was a PDP deputy governorship candidate in Ogun State in 2019, takes his business of politics seriously.

Mr Nnamani, a PDP senator, has been vocal about his support for the APC presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu.

In the past weeks, he has authored several statements listing reasons Mr Tinubu should be voted into power. He also called on Igbos to shelve their clamour for a president from the ethnic group and support Mr Tinubu.

His recent ‘attack’ on Mr Abati, a former presidential spokesperson, is also not unrelated to the media battle between the APC campaign council and Arise TV/Thisday – the media organisations Mr Abati works for.

In his tweets, the senator said Mr Abati’s vision is for Northern Nigeria to rule for 16 continuous years.

His party and principle, the lawmaker said, supports power domiciling in a region and tribe for 16 years. And it “rewards perennial and acculturated anti-party practices coupled with political nomadism and itinerancy with presidential nomination.”

“His morality is Yoruba supporting Igbo insularity. Directly or inferentially, I will be accused of Tribalism. I plead guilty and own it. Igbos need to get to the centre this time.And get there urgently.

“Win win in Nigerian ethnic power trajectory as a Yoruba. His Kin’s party will win this election. It is also for him Win win as a serious politician masquerading as a journalist. His hustle comes with full guarantee. He is playing all wings on all sides in different leagues,” he said.

While restating his support Mr Tinubu, Mr Nnamani, a former governor of Enugu State, expressed hope that the “Igbo spirit will conquer” and the “bones will rise again.”

“Not by force, nor threats, intimidation, cursing, killing ,tribal jingoism not ethnocentrism. A resurgimento of humility, dialogue, superior educated reasoning, patience, political deep thoughts and analysis,” he added.

Atiku is ipob's option B, so they are coming to explain.

Police in Ebonyi State, yesterday, disclosed it has arrested Sunday Ubah, aka Bongo, a commander of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB/Eastern Security Network, ESN, in Abakaliki.

It added that during its operation, stolen vehicles, improvised explosive devices, IEDs, murdered police officers’ uniforms, long-range riot gunners and their cartridges, among other items, were recovered by the command.

The police operation, which took place on one of the biggest and most notorious camps of the IPOB/ESN located at Obegu, a boundary area between Onicha-Isu and Ishielu LGAs of Ebonyi State, was necessitated by information gathered that the hoodlums were operating and wreaking havoc in the state with a Toyota Sienna car, which they robbed at gunpoint from the owner, within Ishielu axis.

Disclosing this in a statement, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ebonyi State Police Command, SP Chris Anyanwu added that a quick trail and joint effort with a team of detectives attached to Ohaukwu Division led to the arrest of Sunday Ubah, aka Bongo, the commander of the IPOB/ESN in Ebonyi State.

According to him: “The miscreant who gave revealing pieces of information about the activities and modus operandi of the criminals, initially claimed that he is their PRO and native of Umunnochi in Isuikwuato LGA, Abia State.

“However, a scrupulous investigation aided by his antecedents/profile with the Police Command proved that he is a native of Obegu, Onicha LGA of Ebonyi State and, indeed, the factional commander of the outfit in Obegu.
