Fine !!! I'm an aspiring HND holder and I've got a thousand ways to make money (Entrepreneurship rocks my boat).. Make una sit down dia dey carry Bsc for head while I keep driving my jeep

Jamb entry level or not, discrimination or not, Bsc superiority or not, it will neva change the fact you can never be successful than your destiny

I think we should be more concerned about how to meet the needs of ourselves, our parents and those looking up to us rather than ruling the juxtaposition between Bsc/HND

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has expressed worry over the life of the governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, days after the State Security Service, SSS, issued him a warning over his public utterances.

The SSS had on Tuesday warned Mr. Amaechi and other politicians against making inflammatory statements ahead of the February elections, saying such statements would no longer be tolerated.

The warning came after the governor’s remarks justifying the decision of some soldiers to protest their lack of equipment in the fight against Boko Haram terrorists.

The APC, in a statement by its chairman, Davies Ikanya, on Friday, said the SSS warning might be a prelude to the arrest and possible trial of Mr. Amaechi, who is the Director General of the Muhammadu Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation.

Stating that the action of the organisation was “totally unacceptable,” the party said the governor’s fate, if detained, might not be different from that of the presumed winner of the 1993 presidential election, Moshood Abiola, who died in detention in 1998.

“We have every reason to be worried about the safety of our dear Governor in view of the lessons of history, especially with regard to the late Chief MKO Abiola, who was unjustifiably detained, only to die under mysterious circumstances while in government custody,” it said.

“We are, therefore, reluctant to dismiss reports in various media outlets suggestive of a threat to the life of Governor Amaechi in connection with his current assignment as Director General of General Muhammadu Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation.”

The APC described the action of the SSS as “an attempt to give a dog a bad name in order to hang it.”

It argued that there was nothing inciting, unguarded or treasonable in Mr. Amaechi’s statement, stating he was merely expressing his views on the factors militating against the success of the Federal Government’s war against Boko Haram insurgents in the North Eastern part of the country.

It explained that the governor merely blamed the challenges on corruption in the military hierarchy and not on inadequate funding as the public is made to believe.

“It is unfortunate that, rather than accept the challenge of fighting corruption, the Federal Government has chosen to ignore the message and go after the messenger,” the party said.
The APC warned that nothing should happen to Mr. Amaechi for patriotically exercising his freedom of speech as a citizen of Nigeria in line with the Constitution of the country.
The party added, “We understand why the sinking PDP-controlled Presidency is resorting to intimidation as it has read the handwriting on the wall in the countdown to the 2015 presidential polls.

“We, however, wish to make it clear that both Gov Amaechi and his supporters will not be cowed but remain resolute in leading the struggle to uproot PDP from the Aso Presidential Villa as the first step towards salvaging Nigeria from the doldrums occasioned by the inept 16-year maladministration of PDP.”
It said Nigerians were yearning for change and they it would give them that change by ensuring that the PDP-led government was peacefully voted out come 2015.

The APC said, “If any of our security agencies need to arrest anybody, they should start with associates of President Goodluck Jonathan, particularly Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, President Jonathan’s Campaign Director of Media and Dr. Doyin Okupe, the President’s Aide on Public Affairs, who has being making inciting and unguarded statements both against the vision of APC and our presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, whose well-known stand on corruption has sent cold shivers down the spine of the present corrupt leadership in Aso Rock.

“We wish to assure Gov. Amaechi that he has nothing to be afraid of, as God, who has in the past years protected him despite the evil machinations of the PDP and the Presidency, will surely see him through this time around and protect him from every danger as he leads the patriotic battle to rescue Nigeria and Nigerians from the vice grip of PDP through the instrumentality of the ballot box.”
