Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue state, has said that Nigeria is currently on "drip and oxygen", IGBERETV reports.

The governor spoke at the Port Harcourt International Airport when he returned to the country alongside Nyesom Wike, Rivers state governor, and Okezie Ikpeazu, Abia governor on Friday, August 26.

Recall that the PDP governors met with former Nigerian leader Olusegun Obasanjo and Labour Party Presidential candidate, Peter Obi, in London. They also met with their party's presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

Speaking shortly after their arrival, Governor Ortom who has never hidden his disdain for the Buhari-led government said;

“We are looking at how we can harness ideas and put ourselves together to ensure that we get out of the present challenge we are in Nigeria today.

From top to bottom, consider what has happened from 2015 and where we are today. So, what we are doing is a concern that we have for our country, Nigeria.

This is beyond partisan politics. We are looking at how we can come together and find a way of ensuring that Nigeria survives. Nigeria is on a drip, Nigeria is on oxygen and it is about how can we get out of this.

We have individually also had earlier commitments in Europe even if consultations are still going on because nothing concrete has been decided. The consultation is going on and will continue to go on. We are still going to meet here.”

"PRESS RELEASE

IMPERSONATION: IGP ISSUES STRICT WARNING ON MISUSE OF POLICE RESTRICTED UNIFORMS

- As Police Suspends Two Supernumerary Officers for Discreditable Conduct, Violation of Social Media Policy

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, psc(+), NPM, fdc, has issued strict warning on the incessant, illegal and unwarranted use of Police Uniforms restricted to bonafide serving officers of the Nigeria Police Force. This is coming on the heels of the suspension of two Supernumerary Police Officers, with immediate effect, for breach of the provisions of the Police Act, 2020, and The Nigeria Police Guidelines for Recruitment/Promotion/Discipline of Supernumerary Police (SPY) 2013 by the Inspector-General of Police, as captured in a video posted by one of the officers in a viral video on August 3, 2022.

The Supernumerary Police, by the combined effects of the Police Act, 2020 and the Nigeria Police Guidelines for Recruitment/Promotion/Discipline of Supernumerary Police (SPY),2013 was established solely to complement the services of regular Police Officers when needed by Ministries, Departments and Agencies/Multi-National Companies, and Banks who make requests and upon approval pay for their training and cover their emoluments for the period of their engagement. (Sections 21-24 of the Police Act, 2020).

It is equally important to mention that in line with Section 25 (2) (3) of the Police Act, 2020 and the Nigeria Police Guidelines for Recruitment/Promotion/Discipline of Supernumerary Police (SPY), 2013issued by the Inspector-General of Police (Guidelines for SPYs), the mode of dressing of SPY police mandates its SPY officers above the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police not to wear uniforms. Similarly, extant laws delineate the Supernumerary uniform. It states that they must be on their approved uniform, ash coloured shirt with “SPY” inscriptions all over, over black with shoulder badge carrying the word “SUPERNUMERARY”. Supernumerary Officers adorning police black, neon blue or camouflage uniforms run afoul of the law and would be adequately sanctioned.

The suspended supernumerary officers – Obaze Blessing with SPY number 5709, and Obaze Emmanuella Uju with SPY number 5708, adorned themselves in conventional police officers’ uniforms contrary to the code regulating the SPY service. One of them similarly adorned the rank of Superintendent of Police which is contrary to extant laws. Above all, they portrayed themselves in the viral video and other videos as undisciplined and unprofessional, in contravention of the Police Social Media Policy, with acts glorifying ill-gotten wealth and ill-morals, which has received wide condemnation from members of the public.

The Police hereby calls on all supernumerary officers to adhere strictly with extant laws as strict sanctions would apply to erring officers. The Force is similarly revisiting other matters of infractions against members of the Supernumerary Police with a view to handing out necessary sanctions to other defaulters.

Peter Obi’s “Obidient” Movement Mere Euphoria, Can’t Win Election — Dino Melaye (Video)

...Peter Obi is A Fantastic Nigerian But It is Not Yet His Time To Be President of Nigeria

The spokesperson of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, Dino Melaye, has described the political movement of the Labour Party presidential candidate, Peter Obi, as a mere “euphoria” that cannot win an election, IGBERETV reports.

Mr Melaye stated this on Friday during an interview on “Politics Today”, a programme on Channels Television.

He said Peter Obi is a fantastic Nigerian whom he respects but said it is not yet time for Peter Obi to become president.

He said Peter Obi lacks what it takes to unify the country. He stated that Atiku Abubakar can unify the country because Atiku has been tested, trusted and accepted in all the geopolitical zones of the country.

He said the “Obidient” movement of Mr Obi is similar to the euphoria that followed the candidacy of late human rights lawyer, Gani Fawehinmi, who ran for president on the platform of National Conscience Party (NCP) in 2003 but eventually got 1,400 votes.

In Melaye's words;

“There is no wave, what you have is an euphoria, a created euphoria. I want to tell you that everybody shouting Peter Obi on social media …… he is a fantastic Nigerian but this is not his time. He doesn’t have what it takes to unify this country. Before you start talking about the economy, you need peace. You need to build trust among Nigerians.

“It takes Atiku to unify this country. It takes a man that will be trusted in the north, in the east and every part of this country…..Today, among all the candidates, he is the only one that can be trusted. No one will see him as a religious bigot, nobody will see him as a tribalist, and nobody will see him as an ethnic jingoist, even those of us around him. All those things you see are euphoria.

“What is the followership of Obi on social media? Even those people making the imaginary noise don’t follow Obi on social media. Go to Twitter, go to Instagram, and check his handle.

“We have seen it before in this country, Gani Faweyinmi once ran for the president of this country, Facebook went agog, at the end of the day he got 1,400 votes. Femi Falana ran for governor. He is known, he is popular, with the same euphoria, he lost.”

Kizz Daniel was arrested by the Tanzanian police on Monday after he failed to perform on a show on Sunday, August 7, after being paid.

I paid this guy $60, 000 to perform on this show . I went down on my knees. I was like 'Bro, you are damaging me. I am trying to build my company here. You are going to damage me'. I begged this guy 'Save my career, save me''. I was on the table with Kizz Daniel for like five hours begging him, kneeling for him''

Stephen said the whole venue was damaged as the angry fans destroyed some of the items brought in by the sponsors of the show.
