The All Progressives Congress, APC, has asked Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike to constitute a cabinet and stop ruling the state like a sole dictator.

A statement issued by APC Rivers State Publicity Secretary, Chris Finebone, said Wike should take a clue from President Muhammadu Buhari who has announced when he will appoint a full cabinet.

According to the APC, ”What many may not know is that the governor is carefully executing his grand scam, laced with superficial quick-wins meant to deceive the gullible and wow the not-so-informed of our people.

”As a sign that the governor was not ready to deliver good governance to the people, he constituted a committee to write a blueprint for his government weeks after having been sworn in to office.

”Again, 100 days after being sworn in to office, Governor Nyesom Wike is unable to name a single project or programme his government will undertake for the people. While there is nothing wrong in completing projects commenced by his predecessor, he has refused to do the simplest thing: acknowledge and give credit to the initiator of the projects he is now completing and claiming as his achievements in 100 days. This is indeed true to his character of betrayal.

”On the surface, it appears no one can blame the hapless tenant on Nsukka Street, Diobu or somewhere in Borikiri whose street is being covered with asphalt from singing Hallelujah for Governor Wike.

”Yes, it appears that you cannot so much fault the dweller of Old GRA who sees men working to cover up potholes around Forces Avenue for clapping for Nyesom Wike. But in all, is the Governor telling anyone what the costs of these projects are? Does he have any explanation that some of these projects were awarded to him in the past and he abandoned them after collecting huge sums? Indeed, does Nyesom Wike tell anyone that most of those projects are being executed by his companies using fronts? In all the scenarios painted, the answer is a big ‘No’.”

The APC said it was aware of the grand plan by Wike not to ever constitute the state cabinet by appointing Commissioners on the excuse that he would prefer the petition over the sham election that brought him to power to be dispensed with first.

”Knowing full well that he will not survive the tribunal, Governor Wike is determined to govern alone as a sole administrator for the period his government will last with himself as the Commissioner for Works, the due process office and everything else.

”The ultimate objective of the governor is to use the period of his short reign to corner all the Federal allocations due Rivers State to line his pocket. This will be in addition to the numerous high interest bank loans he is garnering from Nigerian banks. At the end of the day, he will have sufficiently lined his pocket while his motley band of acolytes end up with crumbs by the time they will be chased away from Government House Port Harcourt by the tribunal.

”The APC is also aware that, as part of the grand design by the governor, nearly all the functions usually performed by the office of the Secretary to the State Government have been formally moved to the office of the Chief of Staff, Government House, leaving his SSG to superintend over an office that is more or less as dry as Siberia for which he is already frustrated and complaining to confidants.

”From all indications, Governor Wike is focussed on providing whatever he can to only 4 LGAs out of the 23 Rivers State has. Let us leave this aspect of our misery story for another day. The APC would like to call on Governor Nyesom Wike to constitute the state cabinet by appointing Commissioners and make all other statutory appointments irrespective of the fact that his stay as governor is highly likely to be truncated by the tribunal, after all, government is a continuum. The excuse the governor is offering is only a facade to pull his grand scam on the good people of Rivers State and deceive even members of his own party,” the party added.

This is a welcome development. People have been clamouring for it. Lets see as it all turns out.

The truth must be said my brother, Who on earth will ever believe that PDP will turn to opposition in this country?

nothing last forever bro

yesooooo....Nothing last forever

oluwaSmith1:
as far as am concern, PDP is already dead. simple

REALLY? Dont allow the like of Bacanister and other PDP Member on nairaland to hear this o

There was drama at the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, National Secretariat, when a former Political Adviser to immediate past President Goodluck Jonathan, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak, visited to submit a letter of intent to the PDP National Working Committee, NWC to inform the party of his intention to contest election into the office of National Chairman.

Gulak, who told journalists that the constitution of the PDP provides that election be conducted to fill the vacancy created by Muazu’s resignation, drew the attention to the dangers that the failure to elect a new chairman would create in the party, stressing that the era of impunity in the party was over.

But barely five minutes after Gulak’s departed the Wadata Plaza, a delegation of NWC members, led by the PDP National Secretary, Professor Wale Oladipo, addressed a press conference where they dismissed Gulak’s mission as fruitless, insisting that there was no vacancy in the office of the National chairman.

Oladipo, who was flanked at the briefing by the National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh, and the National Legal Adviser, Victor Kwon, explained that there were specific decisions to be taken by the National Executive Committee, NEC, before arriving at a conclusion that a vacancy had existed in the office of the chairman and none of such decisions had been taken.

According to him, “I am not aware of any vacancy in the chairmanship seat. There is an acting Chairman and the party is waiting for the report of the Ekwerenmadu committee before the decision to appoint a replacement as the national chairman.

“PDP is always guided by two major documents, one, the country’s constitution and then the party’s constitution. Concerning the office of the national chairman, I think there are clear constitutional provisions; I am not aware of any vacancy,” he stated.

On his part, PDP National Legal Adviser, Victor Kwon said: “PDP is a party that follows the provisions of its constitution to the later. We are aware of the circumstances under which the acting national chairman assumed office. When the then National Chairman resigned, Chief Uche Secondus was asked to step in and act in line with the party’s constitution, particularly section 45 which says that when the chairman resigns, the deputy national chairman will assume office pending the appointment of another chairman.

According to him, “there are relevant sections of the PDP constitution (section 47 subsection 6) which empowers NEC to convene and appoint a replacement at the instance of the NWC. But there are no time limit provided in the constitution within which the acting chairman is expected to serve. It is the prerogative of the party leadership to decide on when to choose someone from the appropriate zone to effect the replacement. But like I said, there is actually no time limit under section 47 subsection 2,” Kwon stated.

like seriously i seems to be enjoying EFCC recently with their recent wake up call on corruption, not until Lamonde was accused of fraud and diversion of funds. Could it be the case of the hunter be hunted? or are we seeing the hand work of saraki in play here? many questiones running riot on my mind.

But if Lamonde feels he's not guilty or his hands are clean, he should come out and defend himself.

well said my powerful lady

When the recently inaugurated Senator Samuel Anyanwu led Ad-hoc Committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petition of the National Assembly invited the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission Boss, Ibrahim Lamorde to appear before it on Wednesday, 26 August, 2015, the development sparked intrigues of sort with some alluding it to the National Assembly under the leadership of Bukola Saraki now scoring vendetta because the anti graft agency first played to the gallery when his wife, Toyin was invited sometime ago.

The EFCC itself was first to raise the alarm that the alleged N2.051 Trillion petition and not N1 Trillion as been written by some dailies against the agency by one Dr. George Uboh was instigated by the Senate President as a Canon fodder to frustrate the latter’s effort to prosecute Toyin; an allegation which the Senate President has since denied.

The anti graft agency had in response to the invitation that same Wednesday stated that they needed three weeks to tell Nigerians what they know about the allegations as Auditors were already working on their accounts which by statutory provisions of the law, would be presented to the National Assembly first week of September.

Though the team of Lawyers from the Commission arrived late, they said their Boss was unavoidably absent while they were asked to vacate by the Committee Chairman because as a tradition, the absence amounts to undermining the powers inherent in the Senate especially with regards to the high profile case that was already in the public domain.

The misgivings of Larmode’s Representatives that they lacked confidence in the Senate Committee was prejudicial and the reason is obvious: that the Senate has powers of investigation which is residual in their oversight functions.

More so, when a petition is brought before the Senate, it places burden on it to act within the limits of its powers just the same way the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission would respond to petitions that bothers on financial malfeasance too.

Given the analysis of recoveries of looted funds from 2004 to 2013, the petitioner accused EFCC that these funds though recovered at various times from individuals were not remitted to appropriate government account. He went further to give instances of how the agency’s domicile CBN account did not reflect in audited financial statements.

Part of the statement reads: “in 2010, CBN’s EFCC account had a balance of 3.3billion Naira, however, it didn’t appear in the audited account for the same year.

“That 2009 balance of EFCC account with the CBN as reflected in AGF’s letter to the House Committee Chairman had 6billion Naira, however, the audited account for same year had 5.6billion Naira”.

As an agency saddled with the responsibility of fighting Crimes, is it a case of hunter being hunted? However it eaves much to be desired than the frivolous excuse that the petitioner was an ex convict or that he was being prosecuted by the EFCC.

The country desiring for change has since risen beyond frivolity, hence, this is no time for insouciance, as Nigerians are waiting to see EFCC clearing itself of this quagmire.

A government that is resolute in dealing with corruption such as the current one must scan it’s organs so that it’s efforts will not be jeopardized because as it is right now, willy nilly, it will be counter productive for EFCC to go about chasing corrupt people if those allegations were found to be true.

It is also worrisome that members of the ad-hoc Committee who are of Unity Forum walked out of sitting under the pretext that due process was not followed in the invitation of EFCC boss. They averred that petitions written and addressed to the Senate President should be read on the floor and debated by the Committee of the whole which will be referred to the appropriate Committee.

A press release was signed by its Chairman, Senator Barnabas Gemade to that effect. This did not give credence to the Legislature that is ready to support its executive arm in curbing corruption especially that of its oversight functions. Senate rules on Public petitions also made provision where its relevant Committee could intervene directly before transmitting its reports to the committee of the whole.

It therefore calls for concern that the ‘consensus ad idem’ required of the 8th National Assembly was yet to be seen three months after.

A lady, who goes by the name Nkechi on instagram and claims to be dating Nigerian singer, Iyanya, has challenged him and his alleged new lover, Freda Francis, saying many other women still hang around the artist, and that Iyanya was still into her.

It will be recalled that the Kukere crooner, on Instagram, had recently divulged that Freda was his new girlfriend, stating that there was no other lady in his life.

Chioma, according to her posts on her Instagram handle “@nkechia1”, claims Iyanya was dating her at the same time as Freda and he sleeps with so many girls too, without protection.

A renowned gang leader in Benue State, Terwase Akwaza, aka Ghana, has surrendered 84 guns to the state government.

Governor Samuel Ortom, after the State Executive Council meeting, said Ghana embraced the amnesty programme declared by his administration for residents of the state to surrender illegal weapons in their possession.

Ortom who announced that the amnesty had been extended to the end of September.

The governor stated that the extension of the amnesty window became necessary following a plea by the gang leader that he needed time to persuade some of his friends in the underworld to also surrender their weapons.

Ghana was quoted as saying he became a militant leader to secure his community, adding that he had decided to genuinely embrace the calls by Ortom for people in the state, holding illegal weapons, to surrender them and embrace peace.

The Special Adviser to the Governor on Security, Col. Edwin Jando (retd.), disclosed that he received “135 assorted rifles and 770 rounds of ammunition from those who voluntarily surrendered their weapons, with 84 rifles submitted by Akwaza”.

The governor expressed appreciation to President Muhammadu Buhari, Taraba State Governor, Darius Ishaku; the Catholic Bishop of Katsina-Ala Diocese, Bishop Peter Adoboh, and others for their support for the amnesty programme.
