Forget about the narratives flying that the cabal wants the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo out of the way to pave way for the North to retain power come 2023.
Much as the cabal has notoriety of stirring disruptions in their inordinate ambition to hold on to power beyond 2023, the current ordeal of the Vice President is entirely about the ambition of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo that has seen him subtly plot strategies without the approval of his principal, LeadingReporters can authoritatively report.

Group calls for a revisit to the missing N4.9billion depositors’ money fraudulently fleeced them by Bishop Jonas Katungs (using Covenant Fadema Multi-Purpose Corporative Society Limited) for which the former ICPC Chairman Nta Ekpo may have covered up for the culprits.

The monies that were later traced to different local and foreign accounts, part of it used for drug-related business overseas are yet to reach the hapless depositors who severally appealed to then ICPC Chairman, Nta Ekpo to help them recover to no avail.

Corruption may be likened to the depth of an ocean. No matter how deep it is, rays of the sun must reach its depth. This seems the case with the former ICPC Chairman, Nta Ekpo, who is currently a commissioner in National Salaries and Wages Commission.

If you wonder why Abia State, an oil producing State, is still crawling under abysmal under-development despite the huge revenue accruing to it as an oil producing state, your answers might lie in the enclosed unveiled tax remittances and other information about the incumbent Governor Okezie Ikpeazu.
The Governor is one heck of a leader who does not seem to understand anything about governance. He lacks experience, tact, prudence, morality, and creativity expected of a 21st-century leader. Furthermore, his emergence as Governor of Abia State is hinged on fraud, manipulation and outright selfishness of those who found in him a quality befitting of an idle slave who will bow at the beckon of his master.

Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu’s possesses fraudulent credentials and phony tax records. These are greatly reflected on his naïve policies and lack-luster style of leadership, where more monies are spent advertising non-existent project. Most of the visible projects in Abia State are Federal Government projects. Abia roads are the worse one can see anywhere in Nigeria. Aba, the commercial and vocational hub of South East Nigeria is in total disarray.

That Lagos State has perennially been governed by non-Lagosians is not an issue of debate. Since the advent of the current democracy, it is believed that Lagos has been governed by settlers.

A piece of document, precisely Governor Ambode’s Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board, JAMB form exclusively obtained by LeadingReporters has revealed a lot about the Governor and many believe that the information contained in the said document may land him in jail after his tenure as the Executive Governor of Lagos State.
