SmartProf:
If the market women really want to find out the real 'simple agenda', they should visit the nearest EFCC office and search EFCC's case files for one of it's customers name called Ize Iyamu. All the fraudulent petitions they see around his name is the Simple agenda.

Kingzeez10:
Hypocrite. Answer the question, "How much did Obaseki gave PDP?.

Dennis Naku , Port Harcourt
Rivers State Governor , Nyesom Wike , has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission and security agencies to be apolitical in the September 19 , 2020 , governorship election in Edo State .
Wike , who made the call while speaking on a live television programme , charged the electoral umpire to use the Edo election to correct its previous mistakes , saying Nigeria, as the giant of Africa, should model free and fair poll for other nations.
Wike , who is the Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party National Campaign Council for Edo governorship election, said the poll would be a walk -over for Governor Godwin Obaseki.
The governor , in a statement by the State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim , said the success of the Edo election would be determined by the roles played by security agencies and INEC, saying, “ This is so because they often interfere with electoral processes, which manifests as scuttling of the will of the electorate.
He added , “ I do not know if I have one hundred per cent confidence in INEC for now but maybe, as the days go on , what we will see may give us hope.
“ Nigeria prides itself to be the giant of Africa and we go to other countries to observe elections and adjudge them as free and fair . But we find it difficult to do the same here . We must show one good thing people can learn from us .
“ We want a free and fair election. INEC should not be partial. They should use this election to correct the mistakes that have been done in the past . We want to see what was done under President Goodluck Jonathan when Adams Oshiomhole went to Aso rock to thank him for allowing free and fair election in Edo State then .
“ We are appealing to President Muhammadu Buhari to direct that democracy be protected in the Edo election so that one man one vote will count. We will also go to Aso rock to thank him. ”

Hoodlums on Tuesday assaulted pensioners who were at the Imo State Government House in Owerri, the state capital to protest their five months unpaid pension and gratuities.

This is the fifth time in less than a month the senior citizens were protesting their nonpayment of pensions and gratuities by the governor Hope Uzodinma led administration.

Trouble started when thugs clutching canes formed a barricade, stopping the pensioners from approaching the Government House’s main gate.

The senior citizens who were resolute in their demands defied the situation which led the flogging by the thugs.

While the retirees were shouting and sobbing, a detachment of police operatives led by an assistant commissioner of police, AJ Moses, arrived at the scene.

While the cops dispersed the thugs, the police chief started appealing to the pensioners.

Our correspondent, who monitored the situation, heard the police chief telling the pensioners to work with the appropriate organs of the government but the pensioners in return told the ACP that they had exhausted all avenues of reconciliation with the government.

The pensioners accused the government of being insensitive to their plights.

One of the pensioners, Ebenezer Ibekwe, who spoke to journalists said that the thugs were sent by the government.

Ibekwe, who mentioned that he retired as a secondary school principal in 2011, said the thugs had poured water on them on their way to the government house in a bid to stop them from embarking on the protest.

The retiree said that no amount of intimidation by the state government would stop them from continually demanding that their pensions and gratuities be paid to them.

He said, “Thugs were flogging us their, fathers and mother. I pity them because they have dug their graves. At Warehouse junction, why we were coming, they accosted us and were pouring water on us. This has never happened in this state before.

“The monies we worked for and the government is sending urchins, idiots and never do wells to assault people who are old enough to be their fathers, mothers, and grandparents.”

When contacted, the Senior Special Assistant to the governor on print media, Modestus Nwamkpa, said that thugs did not flog the pensioners.

He, however, said that the state government was frowning at illegal protests in the state.

Nwamkpa said that the government had discovered that most of the protesters were ‘ghost pensioners’ who were being used by the opposition politicians to discredit the performances of the government.

In a video of the protest shared online, the protesters insisted on speaking with the President Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd ), or the Minister of the NDDC, Godswill Akpabio.
But an official of the high commission , who could not immediately be identified, appealed to the protesters for calm .
He said, “ My integrity will be at stake if I call somebody else to act as the minister on the telephone . It will not solve your problem. What matters most is that we are giving you our words . ”
But the protesters chorused that previous promises made to them by the Nigerian government were not kept .
In a bid to calm the protesters , another official of the commission added , “ We are the representatives of the President here . We are here to work for you. We are looking for a solution . Let us continue to communicate. We will address your issue. ”
The protesters later agreed to suspend the protest for two hours for officials of the commission to communicate with the Nigerian authorities and give them feedback.

The officials , however , rejected the submission, saying that they would report and get back to the protesters “ later” .
The protesting Nigerians insisted that they would not accept the half school fees or upkeep being proposed by the Nigerian government .
One of the protesters said, “ We told them that we want to speak with the presidency. We have given them two hours. After two hours we are going to converge here again to get updates.
“ So far , we have had the corporation of the police . Initially , it was frustrating . We apologise to Nigerians that have other legitimate businesses to do here . We apologise for the inconvenience. This is necessary and it is what the NDDC has pushed us to do . ”

I no fear.

ABEOKUTA — Ogun State government has made a U-turn, making COVID-19 tests free for all returning SS3 boarding students.
Governor Dapo Abiodun, on Monday, ordered the stepping down of the COVID-19 test as a mandatory requirement for returning students in the exit classes, and equally directed that the government laboratories carry out tests for all returning SS3 boarding students at no cost.
Those that have paid for tests will be refunded.
Governor Abiodun, who gave the directives while reacting to the protest embarked on by parents of final year students in private secondary schools in the state, following COVID-19test levy of N25,000 urged private school owners to exercise their duty of care to their pupils.
According to the governor, “the admittance of students into boarding house in private secondary schools will be at the discretion of the management and the Parents Teachers Association, PTA, of such private schools.”
Governor Abiodun, in a statement, said: “Ogun State government recommends that students who do not have to stay in the boarding house should attend school from home, especially those with underlying health conditions”.
“I have also directed the provision of face masks to all students in both private and public schools”.
“The inconvenience and confusion experienced yesterday is highly regrettable and my sincere apologies to the parents and students so affected”.
“The quality and standard of education and well being of our children are issues that are very dear to my heart”.
“The State has been very apprehensive about the issue of school opening even for exit students. Data from other countries, where schools have resumed show that community transmission in school environments is a major concern. Even countries with stronger health care facilities than ours are being very cautious”.
“In line with the Federal Ministry of Education recommendation and WASSCE timetable, we decided to open our schools on the 4thAugust 2020 for SS3 students only. We put in place guidelines that would ensure that our students resume in a safe environment”.
“In our pre-opening engagements with stakeholders, opening of boarding houses was discussed. Our State has one of the largest population of boarding students in the country, coming from all over the Country. After consultations with health professionals, we concluded that testing the children for COVID-19 before admittance will reduce the risk of community transmission. This is to reassure parents and even teachers of the safety of everybody concerned”.
“The State planned and provided testing, free of charge, for boarding students in our public schools and allowed for the management and parents of private schools to make their arrangements to get COVID tests”.
“The two Ogun State run laboratories have a capacity for about 500 tests a day and conduct free tests for traced contacts or symptomatic patients. To meet the additional demand for the expected number of boarding students, the statement from the Ogun State Ministry of Education, Science and Technology listed some private test centers which set up sampling points in some of our Health facilities”.
“These private laboratories have been accredited by NCDC and Lagos State Government for walk-in tests and charge N50,400 per test but I understand that the Ministries of Health and Education negotiated this to N25,000 for boarding students in private schools that may wish to use them. There is no financial benefit to the State Government”.
“The health of our children remains our utmost priority, however in view of the total number of boarding students to be tested (5,340private and 500 public), and bearing in mind the limitation of our installed testing capacity of 500 tests per day, it may not be feasible for all boarding students to get tested and get their results prior to resumption or even exams which commence on 17th August 2020”.
“I appreciate the cooperation, support, resilience and understanding of all the people of Ogun State towards flattening the curve of COVID-19 in Ogun State. It is my prayer that this phase will end soonest.”

The Deputy Governor of Edo State , Mr Philip Shaibu , has accused a former governor of the state, Adams Oshiomhole, of wanting to covertly seek a third term in office as the governor of Edo State through his alleged surrogate , Osagie Ize -Iyamu.
Shaibu , in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media , Benjamin Atu , titled, ‘ Oshiomhole seeking the third term as a governor through Ize -Iyamu, ’ said the former National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress was seeking a third term by proxy .
He said , “ The truth is that Ize -Iyamu is merely a stooge . The real man seeking the governorship position is Adams Oshiomhole who has perfected the plan to betray democracy by seeking a third term in office . The price that Oshiomhole will pay for projecting Ize -Iyamu is an outright rejection .
“ Oshiomhole is displaying blind compassion with a specific pledge to return the state to the path of backwardness with failed institutions where individuals will be more powerful than government institutions with an analogue system of operations . Technological development has since left Oshiomhole behind in the scheme of things. ”
The deputy governor said the state had a choice between policies of the heart by Governor Godwin Obaseki and policies of the head as currently being propagated by enemies of the state .
“ The people of Edo State subscribed voluntarily to the principle of Obaseki because they have seen these principles at work all over the state . We cannot risk the future of Edo State with a man’ s shrunken aspirations.
“ Our campaign is based on the affirmation of what we have done and still capable of doing, by drawing our strength from the masses to deal with all our vulnerabilities, ” he said.
