Wike Boasts Of Helping APC Use Judiciary To Kill Osun LG Funds Case, Warns Party Leaders Against Ingratitude

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has openly boasted that he assisted certain elements within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in deploying the judiciary to frustrate the Osun State local government allocation lawsuit.

In a video now circulating widely on social media and obtained by SaharaReporters, Wike made the claim while addressing a crowd in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

The former Rivers governor accused the APC National Secretary, Senator Ajibola Basiru, of benefitting from judicial actions against the Osun State Government without knowing those who did the work behind the scenes.

The suit in question led to the withholding of local government funds in Osun State, a development widely seen as targeting the administration of Governor Ademola Adeleke as opposition in the state.

Wike, who spoke angrily, suggested that the court action supporting the APC’s position against the Osun government did not happen by chance, boasting that powerful political forces worked quietly to ensure the outcome.

“Don’t take our support for Mr President for granted,” Wike warned, in an apparent message to APC leaders defending Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara. “You have to be careful about the statements you make. You have to be very careful.”

He accused Basiru of political ingratitude, claiming the APC was enjoying in Osun State without understanding who engineered their advantage.

“Today, you are enjoying in Osun. You don’t know those who did the work,” Wike said. “You are opening your mouth to talk about Rivers State.”

Peter Obi is the only weapon fashioned against APC

tonesky:
This is what this clown at the helm of our country is using our tax payers money to do against giving us light, food, shelter and medical care. May his generation never see in good both hell and hellfire.

Lithiumite:
They issued a statement that they never called or fixed any date for any convention,that it was the handy work of dishonest party hijackers and their followers such as yourself.

Peter Obi is the only weapon fashioned against APC

ADC has been there for a long time without court case

Immediately Peter joined the party court case emerge to distablize it


The fg scattered labor party because of Obi

Obi is a nightmare for looters

newsbook:
Anambra State governor, Chief Willie Obiano has re-echoed his allegation that his predecessor, Mr Peter Obi demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him for sponsoring his election in 2013.

Obiano and his predecessor, Obi have had a frosty relationship shortly after his swearing in.

Obi has however denied that he demanded for the sum of N7.5billion from Obiano, saying that his problem with him was his (Obiano’s) underperformance.

Obi said if he needed the said sum, he would have simply taken it from the N75billion he left for the Obiano administration at the end of his tenure.

But Governor Obiano while speaking on Wednesday evening at Ezechima Primary School, Onitsha where he inaugurated his reelection campaigns in Onitsha North Council Area, said the clarification became necessary because of the recent accusations against him by the former Governor.

He stated that his predecessor had demanded the sum of N7.5billion from him as funds spent in prosecuting the election on his behalf, but that he refused to pay the money because it was not true.

Obiano said he refused to pay because he strongly believed that public funds should be used for public good, and not to settle godfathers.

These, he said, was the reason they fell apart.

The governor said that another reason he refused to pay the money was because he was aware that enough money was raised for his campaign by his friends and associates, all of which were never accounted for by the former governor.

On the actual sum the former Governor claimed he left behind, Governor Obiano made it clear that he inherited liability of about N127 billion debt from him in contracts awarded and other responsibilities, which he has been religiously undertaking in the spirit of continuity.

He said Obi flagged off several roads even on the day he was leaving office and saddled him with the burden of paying for it, but he assured the people that he has his eyes on the ball and will not allow anything to distract him from fulfilling his promises.

The Chairman of the Governor’s Re-election Campaign Committee, Chief Victor Umeh said APGA as the political spirit of Ndigbo, has in the past three and half years, availed Anambra good governance at its best, reminding the people that the upcoming guber election was not about Willie Obiano but about ensuring that the state remained free from political godfatherism.

A former Central Bank Governor, Professor Chukwuma Soludo in his speech said that at this time, the State needs a tested hand like Governor Obiano who has the experience and expertise to effectively steer her affairs.

HIGHESTPOPORI:
Did he say it in English or Hausa? Comedian

yarimo:
This is very commendable from the authentic national chairman of ADC Mr nafiu bala

He os paying subsidy on that very light you are using daily

is he supposed to be buying you food everyday? you cried about rice but now its cone down, inflation too has halved but here you are still looking for food to eat

better ask your neighbour how he is being able to feed,because you live in Russia,govt should build a house for every citizen.

......go ask your state gov for your primary and secondary healthcare needs,he is doing what he can on the tertiary which is his responsibility

......he just encouraged local production of certain drugs so as to be able to make them more affordable and create jobs,but you won't see all these,you are only filled with hate and anger.......go get a life dude.

LagosOrigin:
Gomba nafiu, you will surely be disgraced . Go ask Pa lamidi what's left of him now, you will be left stranded the same way insha Allah .

adioolayi:
I strongly believe the most popular general assertions that the Supreme Court has said some issues in political parties are internal party affairs will become more clearer.

Because, if there is gross impunity to a member of a social club for example, which I believe a political party is a club...where will a member seek redress...if we are saying all are internal party affairs.

This general statement doesn't make sense to me.

I hope the Supreme Court will give more clarity...instead of sweeping generalisation. There should be instances where some issues cannot be said to be "internal party affairs" .. especially if a member's right cannot be guaranteed by the leadership of that party

Reloadedisraelp:
it's just a cover up statement...it doesn't reflect the democracy they preaches about....if court are not to interfer ...then the alternative way to solve their differences is to kill each other using thugs and gun ...the statement is for those that are not wise .
