Why won't he drum support when Peter Obi IPOB terrorists and Obidîots gang have threatened to behead, cook and eat him like they beheaded the Anambra LG chairman.

Peter Obi is a full time member, financier and supporter of IPOB terrorists group - Simon Ekpa

This is exactly your problem, 90% Igbos will rather blame APC Tinubu or Buhari instead of PDP.

You all have been labouring in vain with PDP for over 20 years and una still no get sense, did you want to labour in vain for 600 years? Untill you all know whom you suppose direct your anger to ,may be by then, you might get it right.

A strong man of Abia politics and Board of Trustees, BoT, member of the All Progressive Congress, APC, Prince Benjamin Apugo, has solicited support for the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Mr Peter Obi, saying that his integrity, competence and proven track record of achievements have put him ahead of other contenders of the seat.

The APC chieftain who addressed newsmen yesterday in his Ibeku Umuahia country home, also drummed support for the governorship candidate of the Labour Party, Dr Alex Otti, saying he has the capital to rebuild Abia.


Prince Apugo debunked media reports that he had endorsed the Abia APC governorship candidate, High Chief Ikechi Emenike, dismissing the report as misleading.

He said he never gave his blessings to the governorship ambition of Emenike, and cautioned against any attempt to use him for political glory.

Apugo accused the APC-led Federal Government of neglecting Abia State, saying there is no federal presence in the state.

” APC has not done anything for Umuahia and Abia State where I come from”, he regretted.

He also said that the APC had not done much for Ndigbo, and urged voters to vote based on the competence and integrity of candidates and not for the party logo in the forthcoming polls.


Apugo took a clean sweep of the Igbo political elite making uncomplimentary remarks on Obi, describing them as myopic and self-centred saboteurs.

He urged Igbo voters not to be discouraged because of the unpatriotic activities of such elements who he said could rarely visit their communities.

According to him, Obi’s presidential ambition and candidature have brought respect and honour to the Igbo race.

He recalled that this would be the first time Nigerians from different ethnic, religious and political backgrounds would be rallying behind a presidential candidate of South East extraction.

Apugo urged Ndigbo home and abroad to come out en mass and vote for credible candidates of their choice in the forthcoming elections.

As the January 31st deadline for the phasing out of the old N200, N500 and N1000 note approaches, officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Abeokuta Branch on Thursday visited various Mobile money/Point of Sales agents in Ogun State to monitor the implementation of its recently introduced cash swap policy.

The cash swap programme is targeted at fast-tracking the withdrawal of the old notes from circulation.

The apex bank recently directed its super agents to swap the old N200, N500 and N1,000 naira notes for the newly redesigned notes under the policy.




“Super agents are companies licensed by the CBN to recruit agents for the purpose of agency banking”.

The agents were expected to swap up to N10, 000 per person while amounts above N10, 000 would be treated as deposits”.

The officials, who visited agents across the state including; Ijebu-Ode, Sango Ota, Ilisan-Remo, Ikene, Sagamu amongst others said the move was to ascertain whether the super agents are truly disbursing the new notes to the POS agents who are expected to further circulate it to their various customers as directed by CBN.

Speaking with journalists during the monitoring exercise, CBN Deputy Director, Banking Supervision Department, Jayeola Olugbenga, said, the essence of the visit was to create awareness for residents of the state, especially the rural dwellers was to ensure that the new note is circulated across the state.

The Director noted that the CBN was intensifying efforts to make sure that the new N200, N500 and N1000 notes are circulated before the deadline.


His words “We want people to be aware, especially people in the rural areas and for this new note to go round that’s why we have distributed this money to the super agents . We are moving to ensure that they already have the money and they are giving people.

“We have moved around and we have seen that ATMs that were not functioning are now functioning so there is no more excuse for people.

“N500,000 is given to an agent per week so those that have received only 250 or 300 will still go back to get the rest. We want to assure the general public that the money is there and more ATMs are functioning,”he added.

He expressed satisfaction that all the super agents in the state are operating in compliance with the directive of the apex bank.

“So far we are happy because all the nooks and crannies of this state the super agents are functioning and from our interview, people are happy with this development.”


Also, the Deputy Director for Research Department, CBN Dr Adeniyi Olatunde Adenuga stressed that the exercise will help in the area of financial inclusion.

He said “Now we have to go to rural areas. That aspect will help us in the areas of financial inclusion. With these agents, people can come with their old notes and get a maximum of 10 thousand naira.

Olatunde added “people must embrace this programme, what we are doing is to sensitize them to ensure that we mobilize them for them to see the new notes and embrace.

reddingtonblack:
Mr Tinubu package Buhari for us, if BAT say make una put una hand for fire how many of you will, lets assume he package the fire

What Tinubu did yesteday is for is own interest, think can fuel scarcity or scarcity of new note get to someone like Tinubu, have you seen the likes of dangote, otedola, or even our rich celebrities complain about the scarcity of fuel or new notes ... cos with one call they will get it.
BAT is just being altruistic , @least he spoke for the vioceless. anyone who understand the magnitude of investment Tinubu has across Nigeria will know he can easily launder the new note out.

In the last 7yrs Atiku/pdp have played more opposition to Tinubu than Buhari sef, fuel scarcity have lasted over two month weytin atiku,pdp or Peter obi don do to represent the voiceless, yet Tinubu be una problem in lagos nd Federal. one will wonder why East region is not paradise by now atleast Tinubu has no hold there.

No he didn’t. The runner up is Lucky Igbokwe & he didn’t decamp. All d bigwigs decamped wen they found out d Governor already had an anointed candidate. PDP should just forget it in Abia State when it’s comes to the Governorship election.

georgeakins:
Atiku is not experienced, otherwise he would have managed the crisis with those 5 governors well. If he loses, he should blame only himself.

He is ahead and the cabals are scared it would not be business as usual should he win. The major reason why they probably strikes a bargain with Atiku and they're eager to work with him so they can have food on their table again.

Mrmb:
did you remember when obinna went to lie to Sanusi Lamido, the man showed obinna he knew he was lying. He no send am. Compare that expression to this and see the difference..... Nobody brainwashed anybody, this is about competence. The man succeeded as a governor tell me why he won't as a president. Obinna failed as a governor he has no tangible achievement to show for his 8years, the only achievement he use to claim has been debunked by the incumbent who claims his beer company is now worth next to nothing. Atiku failed as a vice president he sold off almost all the country's properties to his friends, a complete failure whose boss even called untrustworthy
