Leaders from Niger Delta region on Friday congratulated the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi on the occasion of his 52nd birthday.

In a press release by the Director of Communication of the Niger Delta People’s Movement, Mrs. Ibifuro Thompson Tatua, the leaders described Amaechi as an epitome of selfless service to Nigeria, particularly the Niger Delta region.

They praised the minister for his immense contributions to the development of Nigeria.

“Rotimi Amaechi instilled financial discipline in the ministry of transport and its agencies and provided safety measures at the nation’s airports.

Specifically the leaders commended Amaechi for the rehabilitation of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport’s runway, the completion of the international terminal at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu and the Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) at Kano and Lagos.

They also praised Amaechi for displaying an uncommon zeal and passion about growing the transport industry.

“Amaecchi completed the Abuja-Kaduna railway line, worked on the standard gauge on the following routes: Calabar-Lagos line, Lagos Seaports; and the Lagos-Kano: Lagos-Ibadan-Ilorin-Minna-Kaduna-Kano and signed an MOU with Chinese Company, China Railways Construction Corporation (CRCC) for Investment for the completion of the Itakpe – Ajaokuta – Warri (Aladja Jetty) Railway Line and from Aladja to Warri town Port, Refinery and from Itakpe to Abuja”.

“Amaechi is making efforts to complete all outstanding rail projects in due time. Work has commenced on the Lagos-Ibadan rail line” the leaders said.

They commended the minister for opening up the transportation sector completely to the private sector, saving N53 billion from the ship building fund and through the rebranding of NIMASA..

“There is on-going rehabilitation of infrastructure at the seaports. He inaugurated the Bakassi Deep Sea Port steering and delivery committee while plans for the construction of Deep Sea Ports in Lekki and Badagry as well as completion of the Lokoja port have begun.

The leaders praised Amaechi for putting Nigeria on the path of sustainable growth and development.

“Interestingly, Rotimi Amaechi has sustained the confidence of maritime stakeholders and investors. He has maintained unprecedented commitment to forming a better maritime and shipping policy direction. He overhauled NIMASA by reversing policy of the past administration where national infrastructural assets were given to militia leaders to protect as against established bodies like the Nigerian Navy.

“ Rotimi Amaechi remains an outstanding leader in Nigeria”

The leaders advised Amaechi to disregard the criticism of him by Governor Nyesom Wike.

“Governor Nyesom Wike is the wrong person to raise issues of development and corruption against anybody”.

They also enjoined Nigerians to join hands with President Muhammadu Buhari to build a united, virile and progressive nation.

“President Muhammadu Buhari is committed to the growth and development of Nigeria” the leaders said.

The leaders while wishing Amaechi good health and happiness thanked him for providing purposeful leadership in Nigeria and promoting the interest of the Niger Delta region.

#Attheinquest:Chilling Testimony Of Man Who Injected Late Senator Isiaka Adeleke Banned Drugs

#AtTheInquest: Chilling Testimony of Man Who Injected Late Senator Isiaka Adeleke with Banned Drugs

The Coroner’s Inquest sitting at the Osun State High Court today received the chilling testimony of one Alfred Aderibigbe, a self-professed nurse who injected late Senator Isiaka Adeleke with banned drugs shortly before his demise.

When the court resumed at 9am in the morning to hear is testimony, the court registrar read a letter from his lawyer, Mr. Lekan Alabi stating that he was unavailable as he was appearing before another judge at the state high court three. The coroner subsequently adjourned till 12 noon.

At exactly 12noon, the coroner entered the court room to an anxious crowd. He immediately called on the witness to take the witness stand. Alfred who wore a better composure compared to yesterday, began by describing his relationship with the late senator who he described as very cordial.

Alfred who spoke in Yoruba through the help of an interpreter when asked how he met the late senator, stated that; “late Sen. Adeleke was like a father to me, a helper; we were like father and son.”

“I met Sen. Adeleke, then a former governor, after I treated one of his daughter for convulsion many years back, our relationship blossomed thereafter.”

Recalling how the Senator died, Mr. Aderibigbe who has been treating the former Osun governor for over 20 years, reveals he was summoned in the middle of the night on Sunday 23rd April 2017 around 4.33am to come attend to the senator. On getting to his bedroom, Alfred revealed the Senator complained of severe pains in his legs and requested for some drugs to be administered on him in the presence of his friend, one Dipo Fagborode.

Aderibigbe recalled that he left his home with four (4) ampoules of Diazepam (valium) 20ml each, two (2) ampoules of Analgin 50ml each, two (2) ampoules of Hydrocortisone 100ml eachs , one ampoule of Pentazocine, and two vials of Gentamicin 80ml each, but did not administer all the drugs on the late senator.

The nurse informed the coroner that it was his practice to administer prescribed drugs to the senator, even though he prefers overdose. He said, “I only administered only 20ml of diazapram, 50ml of analgin and 200ml hydrocortisone, even though he wanted more. I also administered the Gentamicin on his friend, Dipo Fagborode without a prescription.”

“I opened all the ampoules of drugs in his (Sen. Adeleke) presence, but I did not administer it on him. The essence is so that when he wakes up, he would think I used everything. I only used one ampoule of diazepram. It is my practice to kick the remaining away with my leg.”

When asked if he knew that Analgin was banned by the National Agency for Food, Drugs Administration and Control, NAFDAC, over ten years ago, Mr. Aderibigbe said he was aware, but it is his usual practice to make use of the drug on insistence of the senator who he described as ‘powerful’.

“I don’t buy the drugs myself; the senator buys them and keeps with me. Anytime he needs them, he beckons on me. The drugs I used on the 23rd April 2017, was handed to me by Senator Adeleke on 17th of April, 2017.

“Whenever he was given prescription and he probably didn’t complete his treatment in Abuja, I would administer the remaining.

“He had other nurses in Abuja, and some in Lagos.

“I’m his nurse in Ede. I don’t know any of them (other nurses), but I know that whenever he was given injection by those nurses, he would show me in order to know the new area to inject him.”

Aderibigbe though stated that he knew alcohol exacerbate Gout, a condition he knew senator Adeleke was battling with, he stated that the senator rebuffed his advice to stop drinking and opted for treatment with the sedatives, steroids and analgesic.

He revealed the Senator’s choice of drink was Remy Martins, a position which corroborated the testimony of a party chieftain who had received the late senator at his daughter’s wedding the previous day.

Engr. Olasunkanmi Olaniyi whilst testifying earlier in the day had said the late senator did not eat at his party, but he noticed one of Adeleke’s aide served his boss with a bottle of Remy Martins and glass cup.

Continuing his testimony, Aderibigbe said he couldn’t perceive if the late Senator was smelling of Alcohol, but agreed that it was improper to take sedatives, steroids and analgesic after the consumption of Alcohol.

Recall the Ladoke Akintola University Teaching Hospital pathologist who carried out an autopsy on Senator Adeleke revealed his corpse was oozing of alcohol during his testimony yesterday.

Aderibigbe however stated that he left the Senator around 8am to go take a leave of absence from his church where he teaches a Sunday School every Sunday morning.

“On getting back around 9am, Dipo Fagborode told me the senator beckoned on him, with a weak hand, so he asked me to quickly attend to him.

“On getting into his room, he had little life left in him. His pulse was weak and his breathing was almost shutting down. I had to perform a cardiac massage on him. I beckoned on Dipo to assist me and we both continued the cardiac massage, and when he wasn’t responding, I shouted for help, and that was when he was taken to Biket Hospital in Osogbo.

“I didn’t follow in the Senator’s Cardillac vehicle, but I know before getting to Biket Hospital in Osogbo, he would have died.

“At Biket Hospital, Senator Adeleke was pronounced brought in dead.” Aderibigbe revealed.

The coroner has since issued a summon for Dipo Fagborode to appear before him and thereafter adjourned sitting till Friday, 18th May, 2017.

Anambra Governorship Hopeful Dr Obidigbo Blasts Obiano – Calls His USA Trip Waste Of Limited Resources {Must Read}

The social media has been awash with the news of His Excellency, Governor Obiano’s trip to the United States of America for the graduation ceremony of his daughter, who graduated from the University of Texas with an outrageous number of delegations.

Newsflashngr.com can report that the news ought not to have been given any attention. But, the large retinue of cheer leaders to the event in this era that every responsible government is cutting cost to assuage the daunting economic downturns, leaves discerning minds worried about the plausibility of such an action unwittingly perpetrated by a seemingly responsible State government.

It is not out of place for the Governor to witness and celebrate the graduation ceremony of his daughter, but there is everything wrong for His Excellency to embark on such a jamboree overseas with an unnecessarily humongous number of State functionaries as reported.

Such a flamboyant life style is an anathema to the quality of prudence expected of a holder of public trust, as it breeds corruption and drains the resources which ought to be used for the good of Ndi Anambra.

Anambra State is in dire need of purposeful leadership that will give direction to the polity and encourage the repatriation of wealth of our people which will give credence to the “think home” initiative. However, the sad reality seems to suggest that this can never be the case as those who wish to return home to invest already hold a negatively skewed perception of the State’s leadership.

All over the world, investors entrust their investments in political environments where accountability, prudence and financial frugality can be attested to.

Recently, ex elected officials at the local government level took to the media to demand for the payment of their arrears, gratuity and allowances owed them by this administration. Many of them have threatened to sue the state government as correspondences and efforts made to get their payment were spitefully neglected.

The Obiano led Anambra State government alleged that the state has no money to offset the legitimate entitlements of the aggrieved Local government officials. In the case of the ex councilors, His Excellency pleaded that they shall be paid in instalments.

It is therefore, ill advised for the chief executive of a state battling with such financial difficulty to embark on such frivolous spending for a mere graduation ceremony that threatens the fiscal stability of the State, when few family members and friends could have sufficed to grace the largely private event.

In order to develop our state and place it on the path of sustainable development and financially stability, Ndi Anambra should consider November 18, governorship election as another opportunity to make the right choice.

We can’t continue to make avoidable mistakes in leadership, as it has cost us so much and kept our youths and children unemployed and financially emasculated.

Speaking on the development, a human rights activist, Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman, condemned the Police authority for not respecting the order of the court of competent jurisdiction on the subject matter since they have been duly served the Judgment, saying that the Police should conduct itself as members of civilized democratic society where the pronouncement of the Court were respected.

Sulaiman added: “We are not in banana republic and Animal Farms where the rule of society engagement could not be respected which any member of the society could just be doing as they like.

The Police should train his men to see themselves as part of civilized democratic society where genuine democracy is order of the day. The action of the Police on the subject matter is condemnable, unacceptable, satanic, evil, ungodly, aberration, abomination, illegal, uncivilized and crime against humanity and God. We would not allow this act of injustice to stand”.

Monarchs, Akure Base Lawyers Turn Touts In Anambra, Take Over All Motor Parks - Nurtw

*cries out for Obiano to remove them, restore the Union

*may shift guber support, if....


More ten thousand-member strong Anambra chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Workers(NURTW) Newsflashngr.com can report, have threatened to pitch their political support elsewhere should the state governor, Willie Obiano continues to flout the court order restoring them to their duties posts in Anambra motor parks.

They also raised alarm, accusing some lawyers, traditional rulers and established business executives who have manipulated the situation and taken over their functions in the motor parks, unfortunately as part of political patronage from the ruling All Progressives Grand Alliance and the governor.

In an interview with journalists in their Onitsha headquarters yesterday, the NURTW state Chairman, Chief Austine Udozor, flanked by his executive disclosed that the issues they had with the state government in the past had been resolved in their favour by the state High Court last October 2016.

He said it was sad that their job has been handed over to all manner of persons ranging from some Akure-based lawyers, Traditional rulers and business men, thereby turning the state's transport sector especially the parks into an all-comers affair, despite two subsisting court judgments to the contrary.

Chief Udozor said, "...despite these, we are still appealing to the governor to restore us back to our duty posts in the parks.

"It is very unfair and unnatural to take away the job of a medical doctor and hand it over to carpenter.

"Let all the Lawyers who have taken over our jobs go back to the courts to argue cases; let the traditional rulers who have invaded our motor parks go back to their thrones and palaces to run their communities, while those traders/business men who took over the parks withdraw and move back to the markets and mind their shops and wares.

"We, NURTW should be allowed to take back the motor parks. That is our area of specialization and calling. We frown at the way our job was take away from us and given out to even lawyers who operates and reside in far away places as Akure, Ondo State; Jos, Plateau State; Eleme, Rivers State and traders in Onithsa Main Market, Agbor, Wuse Market(FCT), Tejuosho Yaba, Mile 12 Ketu, and some in Balogun Lagos Island and Gwagwalada (FCT)....", he emphasized.

The union, according to Udozor has made several representations to the governor for amicable settlement and audience but had been repeatedly rebuffed.

He noted having written several letters and applications for a 5-minutes audience with Gov Obiano, through some of his top aides, but none had yielded any fruit. So they have concluded to make one final attempt after which they would mobilize their large membership and dependents to another political camp in the forthcoming Nov 18,2017.

AWKA THE VILLAGE CAPITAL OF ANAMBRA STATE:

How Imo-Awka Festival Will Make Nonsense Of The Two Days Public Holiday Declared By The State Government - Obitube Nnaemeka

May I kindly bring to the notice of all visitors to Anambra state that today will be a risky and bad gamble coming into Awka the village capital of Anambra State.

Today makes the first official commencement of the deadly and violent IMO AWKA TRADITIONAL FESTIVAL OF MASQUERADES where youths walk the streets, nook and cranny of the Village capital with sticks, canes, guns, machete and various dangerous weapon's of all sorts and public dastardly drinking to stupor by the kids, the young, the elders and even the old of the Awka dynasty in the name of the above mentioned traditional festival's.

Many books and symposiums has been written and organized on how better to preserve our good old cultural heritage, yet the situation gets worse and messier.

I make bold to say with fear or favour based on logistics and based on facts on ground that Awka the village capital will not be safe for anybody, any visitor or any non indigene of Awka from today till Sunday pending the end of the deadly IMO AWKA MASQUERADE FESTIVAL.

The level of havoc these kids unleash on innocent people in the name of this festival leaves less to be desired about any hope for the survival of our rich igbo cultural heritage.

On a second thought: #justASK your self- "Of what use is the two days public holidays declared by the state government"

To enable civil servants obtain their PVC by participating in the CVR. Now, let's do the analogy together.
Awka the village capital has more than75% of its population as non indigenes true/false? Now civil servants residence in Awka constitutes a large chunk of the number.

Now the IMO AWKA MASQUERADE FESTIVAL for those very conversant with it knows how brutal those boys on the street's can be, now today may be milled and suffice me to say some can manage and find their way to the accredited centre's for the CVR and may be or may not succeed or otherwise, today been Tuesday the last day for the public holiday is the D-Day of the festival, I bet you no Centre in Awka will register anybody today.

It would have been understandable if the public holidays were declared in solidarity to the IMO AWKA MASQUERADE FESTIVAL because based on logistics that is what it seems to after some reports from some friend's about their encounter with the IMO Awka boys in their Streets.

#QuoteMe: "Whoever that must have advised the government on this choice of date for the CVR holidays MUST be an Awka man or their representative.

I will urge the state government to reconsider another two days public holidays and that must be after we must have seen a dare seriousness on the part of INEC to really embark on this exercise because from reports from all LGA in the state is just business as usual.

Please I humbly pray all good and law abiding citizens in the state to remain law abiding and stay away from any act consequence of bridging peace in Anambra state.

The state government and the Commissioner of police should please double up efforts to secure our Village capital while this festival last.

If I have any business with you in Awka, I will be embarking on a health sabbatical till next week Monday been 15/4/2017.

Thank you and God bless Anambra State.

APC WARNS OBIANO – DON’T SET ANAMBRA ABLAZE, DEMOLISH THOSE DEATH TRAPS YOU CALL FLYOVERS IN AWKA NOW OR ELSE…

Anambra chapter of APC have warn Gov Willie Obiano to stay away from the posters of APC aspirants and those of other political parties, irrespective of the guise and guile applied..

First fool no be fool na second fool be proper foolish.

We recall with deep pain that Obiano’s first step to rigging the 2013 governorship elections under the guidance of those who led him was to lay siege on the posters, banners and campaign materials of opponents.

In that sense we were the first fool. There will not be a second time fool.

Anambra APC in statement signed and issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.Com claim it has become necessary in the light of a despotic set of announcements, put out and running in the Anambra Broadcasting Service (ABS) to the effect that ‘some indiscriminate posters are lying on the streets and Anambra State, thereby defacing the environment’ and signaling that government will ‘take action’.

Our party, the alternative government in Anambra State and the ruling party from March 17, 2018 with the resolve and massive support of Ndi Anambra is not by any stretch of imagination willing to be reduced to the small pockets of those who wake up to their environmental duties, after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the timetable for an election they are likely to lose.

We would therefore take all lawful steps to protect the right of APC aspirants to market their candidature to the Anambra voting public, without undue interference from interested parties acting in disguise.

If the issue of poster-pesting is of genuine interest to government as it may be to an incoming APC government in the state, there should be a long-term plan and provision of base infrastructure to enable posters be placed, to avoid what the state ministry of Environment now wakes up from its slumber to describe as ‘indiscriminate ‘on behalf of Obiano’s Campaign.

Anything to the contrary is discernible and must not be used as a cheap avenue to destabilize the state.

The most immediate issue to resolve in Awka, the state capital for instance are to stop the traffic commotion going on and attendant risks to lives of residents posed by the structurally failing bridges which are unable to separate interstate traffic from city traffic,hence failing to justify the wasteful expenditure of N15bn.

The second critical challenge which is even a bigger environmental challenge is the zero-line drainage efficiency in Awka which leaves all manner of debris on the few motorble roads at the slightest rain.

Ijaw Youths Talks Tough Again – Issues Serious Warning To National Assembly Concerning Relocation Of Oil Firms To N’Delta

Ijaw youths on Friday warned the National Assembly that they would resist the rejection of the executive order to oil companies to relocate their administrative head offices to the Niger Delta region.

The youths, under the aegis of the Ijaw Youth Council, expressed dissatisfaction that the House of Representatives could reject a motion calling on such oil firms to relocate their head offices to the Niger Delta.

It will be recalled that a member of the House of Representatives from Imo State, Mr. Goodluck Opiah, had moved a motion suggesting that there was need for all oil companies operating in Nigeria to open offices in the communities where they were engaged in exploration.
The motion was supported by a member from Rivers State, Mr. Kingsley Chinda, who dismissed the argument that the Niger Delta region was insecure, hence the relocation of oil companies to other states outside the region as untenable.

But Aminu Shehu Shagari of Sokoto opposed the motion, describing it as ill-conceived, inconsiderate, even as the motion was later thrown out through voice vote.
However, a statement by the Eric Omare-led IYC, indicated that the action of the lower house was unacceptable to the youths of Niger Delta.

According to the statement signed by the group’s spokesman, Mr. Henry Iyalla, the action of the House of Representatives was unacceptable.

The IYC recalled that there had been an executive order to oil companies to relocate their head offices to the Niger Delta region and added that the matter was not under the purview of the House of Representatives

It pointed out that the action of the lower House was capable of undermining the demands of the people of the region.

According to the IYC, “The Federal House of Representatives in its sitting held on Tuesday rejected a motion brought by Goodluck Opiah (PDP, Imo) requesting the House to impress on the IOCs to relocate their administrative head offices to the Niger Delta Region.
“We state that the call for the relocation of IOC’s is not within the purview of the Federal House of Representatives since an executive order had already been issued and we expect administrative action to be in full swing to that effect.

“Any action capable of undermining that order will not see the light of day as the Ijaw Youth Council will rise to ensure actions with the aim of marginalising or undermining the demands of the region will be resisted vehemently.“The Ijaw Youth Council wishes to state unequivocally that this rejection is unacceptable coming at a time when the Federal Government has given a directive to all IOCs to relocate to the region as part of its fulfilment of the Pan-Niger Delta Elders Forum demands and when we are expecting the IOCs to make moves for such relocation.”

Describing the action of the House as condemnable, the IYC noted that the rejection of the motion showed the “real mindset” of leaders, who had continued to pay lip service to the agitations and demand of the oil rich region.

The IYC pointed out that the action of the House was capable of causing unrest in the Niger Delta region, adding that the relocation of the IOCs would make them to be committed to environmental issues affecting the area.

“This is capable of causing unrest in the region which has thus far been peaceful.

After an eyewitness shared on social media how final year secondary school students s*xually assaulted their female counterparts on their last day in school at Falomo, Ikoyi, Lagos, in what has been described as a “tradition”, the Lagos State Government is said to be hunting for the students responsible.

Four of the students of Ireti Grammar School, Falomo, Lagos, have been arrested after the Lagos State Government tasked the police with tracking the perpetrators down.

According to the story shared by Michale Matthew, female students of Falomo Senior High School, who had just finished their final exam were targeted by male students of Ireti Grammar School, South West Ikoyi, who had also taken their last paper on Wednesday.

Matthew gave a graphic account of how some of the students pinned down their struggling victims, as their colleagues herded around, cheering the assailants.

The eyewitness, who apparently works in the neighbourhood, was closing for work that day when she chanced on the scene.

She said, “Their shouting overpowers any other sound and looking closely, I see the most unreal thing. It is actually a boy trying to force himself on a girl with his trousers partly down and the boys are cheering him on.

“People are looking and some persons, the security guards in the office near us are recording it. I open my car in disbelief and shout at the boys to break it up while shouting at my security and the second driver to assist me.

“I walk towards them and as I make my way towards them, I see another group and this time they have cornered one of the girls who fell while running from them.

“I see her kicked down, she bravely pushes herself up and another guy tries to clear her legs and she lunges at him and then a guy takes a pair of scissors in his hands and with one swoop tears her skirt from the bottom and also a part of the black spandex shorts she has on underneath.

“All this happens really in a few minutes and he proceeds to push himself into her through her back. His trousers is open too and another one tries to do same from the front. As this is going on, the crowd of boys are wild with frenzy, cheering the two boys on, while grabbing at her hair, bre@sts and she is fighting for dear life.

“This is not before I get the names of the boys as George and Abiodun as the main perpetrators, they are final year students of Ireti Grammar School SW Ikoyi.”

She said after intervening and forcing some of the boys to flee, she personally escorted some of the girls who clung to her for safety to the motor parks to board vehicles to their various homes.

On Thursday, policemen from the Adeniji Adele Police Division, the Social Welfare Department of the Lagos State Ministry of Youths, Sports and Social Development and officials from the deputy governor’s office stormed the schools to trace some of the boys who could be identified as the perpetrators.

Some of the boys were later apprehended. The police are said to still be on the trail of other schoolboys who took part in the attacks.

On Friday, the state Deputy Governor, Dr.Idiat Adebule, who oversees the state’s education ministry, confirmed the arrest in a statement.

“Four of the boys involved are already helping the law enforcement agents in apprehending others who participated in the reckless act,” she said.

The statement signed by the Assistant Director, Public Affairs,
Ministry of Education, Adesegun Ogundeji, indicated that the deputy governor had assured the public that extensive investigation will be conducted and all those found culpable would face the consequences of their indiscipline and lawlessness.

Adebule said, “Students are expected to be of best behaviour and shun all acts of violence and immorality that can undermine the policy of Government on discipline being entrenched in schools.

“The state government won’t take kindly to the reckless attitudes of a few that intends to drag the image built over the years in the mud.

“She stressed that discipline must prevail for the smooth running of the schools and acts of recklessness such as reported in the case under investigation is totally unacceptable and would not be tolerated.”
The deputy governor called on parents and guardians to monitor their children’s actions in and out of their school premises.

The state government said principals and heads of schools would not be held responsible for instituting measures to curb indiscipline in their various schools, warning that “anyone caught looking the other way will equally face appropriate disciplinary actions as stipulated in the Public Service Rule.”

The Coordinator of the Lagos State Domestic and S3xual Violence Response Team, Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, said her agency had visited the schools as part of its investigation.
She said, the public should expect prosecution in the case.

“We are working to ensure that we provide a holistic response to the case. Aside from investigation, there is also the legal aspect; possible prosecution to ensure deterrence.

“The Attorney-General has also given directives that the matter should be investigated. We are working to ensure that this kind of activity does not repeat itself again.”

She said in the coming weeks, DSVRT would embark on sensitisation and awareness in Lagos schools to enlighten schoolchildren, teachers and parents on s*xual and gender-based violence.

But the Lagos State Police Command said there were no indications that the schoolboy’s actions could be termed as s*xual violence.

Spokesperson for the command, Mr. Olarinde Famous-Cole, told our correspondent that reports from the police division in the area so far show that the case may not be r@pe.

Press Release.

...calls for the release of other agitators.

Dr Chike Obidigbo, the November 18, APC governorship hopeful in a statement signed and issued to Newsflashngr.com , praised the Federal government for the release of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

In a statement issued in Awka on Monday by his Media aide, Eneh Victor Chigozie, Dr Obidigbo expressed optimism that Kanu's release will bring relative peace to the southeast region.

"His detention increased palpable tension in igboland with protests that have led to confrontations with security agencies. I am certain that his release will calm fraying nerves in the southeast and restore relative peace."

The APC governorship aspirant therefore thanked president Mohammadu Buhari who despite fears in some quarters allowed the release of Kanu as ordered by Federal High Court Abuja.

"There were fears, that the FG may not obey the bail granted to Nnamdi Kanu, but Mr President being a father to the nation, disappointed the nay sayers, I thank him for this gesture. Mr President has shown that he is not numb to the plight of Ndigbo, and will address same under his administration.

"I therefore call on the trial court to reconsider the bail applications of other IPOB members who have been in detention with Kanu and grant them bail, as that will complete the celebration of optimism towards APC government in southeast."

Dr Chike Obidigbo, equally appreciated the roles played by some individuals to ensure that Kanu regains his freedom.

"I thank those that played various roles in seeing that Kanu regained his freedom. Many of us have at different quarters given advice and pleaded for his release. I understand the threat his incarceration posed to southeast, and have quietly offered advice to those in govt for his release."

Finally, the frontline industrialist, urged the the Federal govt to look into various issues fueling ethnic agitations with a view to addressing them fully.

Rivers APC – Police Refusal To Compromise Reason For Gov. Wike’s Blackmail Against IGP

The Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, said the party is utterly dismayed at the serial show of shame and disgrace Gov. Nyesom Wike is bringing upon the good people of Rivers State especially in recent times.

The APC in a statement signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Chris Finebone and made available to Newsflashngr.com said, “As soon as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, announced the discovery of $43m and other currencies at Osborne Road, Ikoyi, Lagos Gov. Wike immediately addressed the media laying claim to the money.

In doing so, he issued a 7-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to return the money to him or he would go to court. Two weeks after his bogus claim it has turned out that the governor made an empty threat as he is not in any position to carry it out for the reason that what appears like credible ownership of the said money is unraveling and it has nothing to with the Rivers State Government.

More so, despite the opportunity given by a federal high court sitting Lagos for the owner of the money to come forward and claim it, Gov. Wike has made no move whatsoever in that direction. It is clear that the governor was merely amusing himself in one of his cheap circus shows.”

It reads: “Even before the Osborne Road saga, Gov. Wike had raised accusations that the Inspector-General of Police Mr. Idris Ibrahim planned to assassinate him, an allegation he has just repeated yesterday (Saturday).

“For us in APC, Gov. Wike’s behaviour has not come to us as a surprise and the reasons are many.

“Gov. Wike has a well-established philosophy that directs his politics. He believes that the most secure means of dominating the political environment in Nigeria is to effectively compromise the electoral umpire, the judiciary and security agencies. His position is anchored on his belief that every Nigerian, irrespective of tribe and religion, has a price.

“Credible pieces of evidence at the disposal of Nigerians today confirm that Gov. Nyesom Wike had a stranglehold on the electoral umpire (INEC), the judiciary and security agencies until recently under the present Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Idris Ibrahim. Several INEC personnel are presently facing trial in court over alleged bribery by the governor involving N360m.

Whereas his hold on INEC and the judiciary is as firm as ever, Gov. Wike has failed to compromise the IGP, the Commissioner of Police in Rivers State or the SARS Commander.

“We make bold to ask: why is it only under the present IGP that the Police is attempting to assassinate the governor as he claims? Why did the previous IGP not plan to assassinate Gov. Wike? Why was the State Police Commissioners under the previous IGP so helpless and often overruled by their boss in favour of Gov.Wike's interest?

“The APC believes that the bitter war being unleashed on the present IGP by Gov. Wike is a desperate attempt to blackmail, coerce and subdue the IGP, the Commissioner of Police and other key officers to do the bidding of the governor in exchange for the tempting bait he always dangles which they have so far shunned.

The APC commends the IGP, the State Commissioner of Police and other officers of the Force in Rivers State who have refused to go near Gov. Wike’s poisoned chalice.

“APC calls on the National Security Adviser, Minister of Interior and the IGP to view the actions and utterances of Gov. Nyesom Wike beyond mere politics but as grave threat to national security and do the needful to safeguard the security of our dear fatherland from the whimsical and capricious manipulation of a governor steadily displaying unstable utterances and behaviour. Gov. Nyesom Wike's immunity only covers prosecution and not investigation.”

*Declares that IGP has ordered a raid of his Abuja residence

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike has reiterated his declaration that the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris plans to kill or silence him politically because of the political directives that the police chief has received.

According to Newsflashngr.com report, Governor Ezenwo Wike further declared that the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris has concluded plans to plant guns and other incriminating items at his Asokoro Extension Residence in Abuja.

Addressing journalists at the Government House, Port Harcourt on Saturday, Governor Wike said that the Inspector-General of Police on Friday approved the raid of his Abuja residence.

According to the governor, the Police will be in court to get a search warrant on Tuesday. He said information available to him indicated that but for the May Day Public Holiday, the Police would have obtained the search warrant on Monday .

He said: "All attempt is being made so that they will go and plant either AK47 or one million dollars in the governor’s house. They can even plant costly wrist watches as a propaganda tool.

"I said I have to let Nigerians know that this is not the way to go about in democracy. Rather, this is an attempt to truncate democracy. That someone differs on issues does not mean you have to go after the person's life".

Governor Wike said this is the latest in the series of planned propaganda by the police to sow devilish information against him.

He said because of the unconstitutional nature of the raid, the police refused to indicate that the house to be raided belongs to the Rivers State Governor.

"Nigerians should be aware that should they raid my house in Abuja and claim they found anything, it is incorrect. I have not been going to Abuja, but I will be in Abuja to wait for them to see how they plan to plant guns in my house", Governor Wike said.

While maintaining his position that the Inspector-General of Police is after his life, Governor Wike stated that this recenta plot is aimed at silencing him because the Rivers State Government claimed the Ikoyi Billions, which was reportedly left there by the former Rivers State Governor.

He decried the pattern that has been adopted in the nation’s democracy, saying that it will negatively affect the growth of democracy.

"Our democracy cannot survive if we continue with this line of action. If the Inspector-General of Police wants to play partisan politics, let him remove his uniform and join us in the arena. He should not continue to wear uniform and do the bidding of politicians like a stooge", he said.

The governor added: "I want to reiterate, the Inspector-General of Police is after my life".

He regretted that security agencies have adopted the unwholesome method of planting guns and cash when the owners of the houses are not at home, simply for political reasons. He cited the case of Former Benue State Governor, Gabriel Suswam and Senator Danjuma Goje.

Despite last Sunday’s declaration by the All Progressive Congress, APC, in Abia State, that is set to win the 2019 general elections in the state, crisis has torn apart the Isiala Ngwa South local government area chapter of the party following the sack of the chairman of the APC in the area, Mr. Ezekiel Nwogwugwu, over alleged misconducts.

It was gathered that stakeholders of the party in the council, had through a communiqué on 10th March, 2017, passed a vote of no confidence on Nwogwugwu, accusing him of running the APC as a personal business and trying to sell the party to a moneybag in the area.

The stakeholders allegedly backed a former Senator for Abia Central, Chief Bob Nwannunnu, further sacked Nwogwugwu and replaced him with a 16 member exco led by Onyenma Nwamara.

A planned inauguration of the party secretariat at the council headquarters, Omoba, by the stakeholders of the party led by the zonal secretary of the APC, Abia Central, Chief Onyenmuru Sample Aja; zonal Organizing secretary, Abia Central, Oba Darlington and a former chairman of the council, Engr. Uzoma Uwa, was aborted by the state chapter of the party who allegedly petitioned security agents.

In a communiqué which was signed by zonal and local government officers and ward chairmen of the APC, some of the allegation against Nwogwugwu include suspending ward chairmen without due process, misappropriating money meant for the party during the 2015 general elections, failure to rent an office for the party despite receiving money, as well as congratulating the PDP candidate who emerged winner at the December 21Abia council polls.

Addressing members of the party at its new office at the local government headquarters at Omoba, Onyenmuru Sample Aja, Darlington Oba and Engr. Uzoma Uwa, flanked by LGA and ward executives of the party, maintained that the sack of the party chairman was in line with the APC Constitution, Article 21, Section D, subsection VI, as amended.

They explained that the stakeholders of the party are united in their rejection of Nwogwugwu as the party chairman and has contributed over a million Naira to rent a befitting secretariat, claiming that the APC in the area has never had a secretariat as Nwogwugwu and his cohorts allegedly embezzled the funds meant for the purpose.

They also accused the state chapter of the party led by Mr. Donatus Nwankpa of bias and called for the replacement of the secretary of the six man peace committee, Menyechi Onuoha, describing him as an interested party in the matter.

Unclaimed $45m: Wike's Mental Status Needs To Be Examine For Accusing Amaechi - Peterside

An All Progressives Congress (APC) stalwart in Rivers State, Dr Dakuku Peterside has questioned the mental status of Governor Nyesom Wike after claiming that the $45m found at a residence in Ikoyi, Lagos State belong to Rivers State Government.

Dr Peterside, who stated this in a chat with newsmen at the Port Harcourt International Airport, rubbished insinuations by Governor Wike that the money found in Lagos were part of proceeds Rivers State Government realised from sale of gas turbines by the Amaechi administration.

Newsflashngr.com understand that Wike was also quoted to have claimed that the house in question belongs to Amaechi, who has since issued a statement denying ownership of the said building.

He accused the Rivers State governor of turning governance to a circus show and lacking in sense of dignity by constantly being in the news for all the wrong reasons.

"Not too long ago, Wike apparently suffering from overdose of self delusion said he had awarded road projects in far away Benue State and had mobilised contractors to site.

"The same Wike has also accused the Inspector General of Police of plotting to assassinate him through the new CP in Rivers State.

"We thought these were jokes taken too far. But the clownish governor has surprised himself with another tales by moonlight in trying to link his former boss and benefactor to the unclaimed money.

"I think we need to check the sanity and mental status of Governor Wike. Time and time again, he is bringing ridicule to the office he occupies and embarrassing the people of Rivers State who are known to be intelligent, responsible and decent in upbringing," he stressed.

He explained that Amaechi had since denied owning the said house in Lagos and challenged the Rivers State Government to provide evidence to the contrary.

Peterside, who was commissioner for works under Amaechi, noted that the money realised from sale of gas turbines were paid into the account of Rivers state and the money used for projects.

"While Wike can never come near the record of Amaechi, the current governor is doing everything to reverse the unmatchable records of his predecessor.

“As at today, no one has seen copies of 2016 and 2017 budgets of Rivers State. Schools and health centres are shutting down with thousands of school age children out of school. Rivers children on scholarship abroad have been withdrawn. The same governor has wasted Rivers money to host two failed conventions of a sinking PDP. His party chairman has accused him of using $6m to influence judicial officers.

"Wike has the unenviable record of governing a state having the most state-linked killings in Rivers history. He rose to become the governor of Rivers State on the bloods of innocent people.

"It is people like Wike who have made Nigerians to call to question the issue of immunity in the Constitution. He is taking immunity as shield to abuse the dignity of the office of Governor.

"The governor can still retrace his steps and follow the path of dignity, decorum and respect the office he occupies for he holds it in trust on behalf of Rivers people," he summed up.

Osun Tech Company Gets $30.5m Contract To Produce Set Top Boxes In Ilesha

RLG Adulawo Technology Company, Ilesha, State of Osun, has emerged the choice indigenous company to produce Terrestrial Broadcast Set Top Boxes (STB) for digital switch-over from analogue in the country.

This according to Newsflashngr.com was revealed Monday evening when the Managing Director of NTA Television Enterprise, Mr Maxwell Loko, led a delegation of the company to the Governor after another inspection of the facilities at the RLG Adulawo Technology Company.

Handing over the multi-billion Naira contract paper to the governor, the Mr. Loko said RLG Adulawo would supply set top boxes worth $30.5million to NTA Television Enterprise.

Newsflashngr Recall the Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola led government had partnered Ghana-based RLG Technology Company in 2013 for the training of Osun youths under the Osun Youths Technology Training Acquisition Scheme, OYESTECH and also the establishment of RLG Adulawo Technology City. Since its establishment, the company had in the last four years been one of the major manufacturers of commonly used electronics devices in Nigeria such as telephone handsets and computers.

The Federal Government, through the management of the NTA TV Enterprise, said the decision to partner RLG Adulawo was a result of the capacity of the company to deliver on the terms and conditions attached to the contract, saying the partnership is a milestone in promoting local products and Made-in-Nigeria goods in the country.

He said the contract was awarded to the company in support of the Aregbesola's commitment towards the promotion of science, technology and innovation.

Mr. Loko, who attributed the emergence of the RLG Adulawo Technology Company as the winner of the contract to its dedication and commitment to scientific discoveries and technological advancement, declared that the contract was given to the company based on merit.

He said decision was part of the agency's motives towards enhancing strategic alliance, saying the partnership would go a long way in complementing the efforts of the state government to promote local products and as well provide job opportunities for the youths.

According to him, the company has installed capacity for 600,000 Set Top Boxes (STB) per month and it is expected to produce over a million STB before the June 2017 deadline.

"This is a technology in motion. This contract is a signal to the fact that Nigeria is also moving towards achieving an enhanced technology.

"This gesture would go a long way in encouraging other sectors to develop capacities that can make Nigeria to compete favourably with her counterparts in terms of advanced science and technology.

"Our partnership with the RLG/Adulawo which is an agency established by Osun Government is a clear manifestation towards the commitment of the state to promote science and technology", he stressed.

Earlier, the Osun state Governor, while receiving the letter of the contract described the partnership as a breakthrough that will further boost the efforts of his administration on youth empowerment and economic progress.

Governor Aregbesola who recalled how the partnership for the establishment of RLG Adulawo started and its positive impacts on the job creation and youth empowerment in the state, expressed optimism on the ability and capacity of the Osun based company to deliver as expected within the time frame.

He recounted that the company (RLG Adulawo) had since its creation trained
about 5000 youths in different technological areas and specialisations.

According to him, the establishment of the company had complemented the empowerment initiatives and programmes of the state.

"The inauguration of Osun Youths Empowerment Scheme (OYES) through which 40,000 youths were engaged and empowered among other programmes had continued to stimulate the state's economy in all aspects", he asserted.

Governor Aregbesola announced that another 20,000 youth for the third cycle of the Youth Empowerment Programme will be engaged before the end of this year.
‎
On the award of manufacturing of a million Set Top Boxes in which about 30,000 pieces have already been delivered, Governor Aregbesola extolled President Muhammadu Buhari for his commitment to advancing science and technology.

He said the present administration has rescued the economy of the country from collapsing just as the sectors of the economy had been gradually re-energised.

Governor Aregbesola also lauded the keen determination of the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed for working towards the actualisation of the June 2017 deadline for the digital switch-over.

The Governor commended the efforts being put in place by the National Assembly to ensure a transparent process in the procurement of the decoders.

He said "the state would not disappoint them in its ability to deliver quality services".

In his remarks, the Chairman Ad-hoc Committee of the House of Representatives on Digital Switch-over, Hon. Sunday Marshar-Katun, said the Committee was set up to supervise the process of STB procurement in order to meet up with the deadline, saying that this is part of efforts to ensure that Nigerians get value for money.

In his remarks, the representative of the Director General of National Broadcasting Commission, Eng Friday Ukwela, said out of 13 companies that are licenced to produce the Set Top Boxes, RLG Adulawo Technology City was one of the few to deliver.

Part of the partnering agencies in attendance include; the Chairman and Members of the adhoc committee of the House of Representatives on the Digital Switch-over, the management of the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC), the RLG management, Officials of the Sterling and Skye banks as well as the representatives of the Government of Delta state.

The team had early visited the RLG/Adulawo factory located in Ilesa as part of its facility tours, where the team expressed satisfaction with the capacity of the company to promote digitilisation.‎

...Project Glory Emeh is a scam to corner Rivers money

The Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, said it can confirm that as part of Project Glory Emeh scam in which all manner of persons are hired and assembled to pose as APC decampees in return for huge pay outs by Gov. Nyesom Wike to Chief Glory Emeh, several buses were earlier today sent to various LGAs in Rivers State including neighbouring states of Abia and Imo to ferry down hirelings who will claim to defect from APC to PDP at an event to be lavishly covered by local and national media.

The APC in a statement signed by Mr. Chris Finebone and made available to Newsflashngr.com in Port Harcourt today revealed that “As early as 7am, over 20 buses left Akuku Toru and Asari Toru LGAs (among others) for Port Harcourt.

Those conveyed were reported to be PDP members who are expected to pose as APC decampees. The executors of the scheme are taking advantage of the present hard times by paying between N3,000 and N5,000 to each person depending on the LGA or location.”

The statement reads in part: “Ordinarily, the APC would have shrugged off the self-delusionary and pedestrian propaganda woven around the drama.

However, the APC takes very serious the criminal aspect of the exercise which includes the unlawful printing of APC membership cards and other paraphernalia which are being distributed to the hirelings with a view to acting out their pre-meditated Nollywood-type scenes to convince the media and the general public that bearers of such items are truly APC members defecting to the PDP.

“The APC warns the PDP and all those behind the ongoing bizarre circus show that we will not hesitate to take advantage of the law to seek redress and criminal prosecution for anyone found to be in unlawful possession of APC materials by non-APC members and those who illegally provided them such materials.

“In fullness of time, APC will present to Rivers people and Nigerians sound, decent and prominent politicians of Rivers State who have and are still abandoning Gov. Wike and the PDP and joining the APC. The present pedestrian drama will soon pale into insignificance. When the big masquerades enter the arena, small ones that either stole or borrowed their wrappers quickly disappear into the crowd and hide their faces.

“Concerning the ignoble Project Glory Emeh scam, we can only urge Rivers people to protest Gov. Nyesom Wike playing Robin Hood with the commonwealth of Rivers people at a time the governor has stifled education, healthcare delivery and effective governance in the State.

“The APC will continue to demand accountability from Gov. Nyesom Wike in the interest of all Rivers people. We will continue to demand that the governor make public the State’s budgets which for the past two years remain secret document.

We will continue to demand for transparency and good governance. We have no other concern other than the wellbeing of the present and future generation of Rivers people and residents of Rivers State.”

It was a moment of surprise for ministers as President Muhammadu Buhari was absent at the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting today, Wednesday, April 12, 2017. In his absence, the vice president, Professor Yemi Osinbajo took charge calling on the minister of Defense, Dan Ali Mansur, to say the Muslim opening prayer, while the Christian prayer was said by the minister of Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah.

Multiple reports confirmed the president’s absence from the meeting and that the reason was yet to be revealed as there was no official statement. There had been signs that Buhari would have presided over the meeting as a security operative in plain clothe stood behind the president’s seat to secure it as usual.

Vanguard reports that by 11.00 am when the meeting was scheduled to start, Osinbajo’s voice resonated from the background as he called for the National Anthem.

Controversial Nigerian pastor, TB Joshua of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) has taken everyone by surprise again by releasing another prophetic prediction about the world.

The man of God, shared this powerful about another possible world war via the church’s Facebook handle (TB Joshua Ministries). Following the video which was posted on social media, TB Joshua said: “We wish to remind our viewers of the prophetic warning Prophet T.B. Joshua gave on January 3rd 2016 regarding the nation of North Korea, followed by an urgent call for prayer.

He said: ‘We have to pray for the President of North Korea. Pray for North Korea. The reason why I am saying is, I am seeing an arrow from there and it will affect the world, if not a section of the world.

So, let us live at peace because the war we are fighting already both in Syria and others is still there. We cannot afford another one again. It would end the whole world. The whole would be in confusion. Because what I saw - there are some weapons there the world does not know about.

If they throw that arrow, there will be confusion. Remember, there is fight everywhere. Adding this one to the fight means there will be confusion all over the world."

For many who have seen Osun as a state where cheap or almost free land is easily available in the urban centers, they may need to have a rethink, as check around various areas in the state reveals the value of land has increased to around 1000% and 2000% in some cases in the past few years.

In Osogbo, the state capital, Newsflashngr.com can understand that a hectare of land that sold for N250,000 in 2010, now sells for N5m to N10m, depending on the area. In fact, a plot of land at the Government Reserved Area, GRA Osogbo sells for as high as N30m to N40m.

The story is the same in other areas of the state. Areas like Ilesha, Ile-Ife, Ikirun, Iwo among others have seen a sharp increase in the price of land. Similarly, the prices of real estate have also taken a hit.

An Estate Valuer, Mr. Samson Ogini, who resides in Ede noted that the sharp increase in price of real estate can be attributed to the level of development across the state.

Ogini noted that several areas in and out of Osogbo and other areas of the state with poor access in 2010, have now been opened up. Several inner city roads have been constructed, thereby increasing the value of real estate.

However, speaking on the rate of road construction across the state, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, State of Osun, Engr. Nurudeen Adeagbo stated that the administration of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola embarked on road construction projects across the state when he came on board in November 2010 to improve the quality of living of our people, increase access to markets and drive investments into the state.

...At the time Amaechi left office, R/S was getting less than N10b monthly allocation

The All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State has expressed dismayed that two years after the 2015 elections, Gov. Nyesom Wike is still carrying on with his style of campaigns full of bare-faced lies and misrepresentation of facts to unsuspecting Rivers people.

The above was in reaction to what Governor Wike said yesterday.

The governor yesterday Newsflashngr.com understands on (Sunday) told the Synod of Anglican Church in the house of God that the administration of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi was receiving between N27b and N30b monthly federal allocation while the present federal government has cut the allocation for the State under his administration.

He blamed the alleged move on attempts to sabotage his government.

The APC in a statement issued to Newsflashngr.com today said, “Firstly, if the Amaechi administration received anything close to N25b during his 8-year tenure it must be for less than 6 months in his first tenure when Nyesom Wike was Chief of Staff to former Gov. Chibuike Amaechi.

That was when oil price was at its highest and the over 300 oil wells taken away by the Goodluck Jonathan government were still property of Rivers State.

“For more than three years of the Amaechi second tenure after Soku and other oil wells had been taken and transferred to other states coupled with dwindling oil prices and production levels, the government then was receiving less than N10b monthly allocations up till 2015.

“If Gov. Wike is receiving less than N10b allocations today, he is in part responsible for the fate the State is facing. He encouraged the Jonathan administration to take away Rivers oil wells believing that he was undoing Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

It would be recalled that the former governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi had earlier warned Gov Wike of what he (Wike) is complaining about today. Now, the chicken has come to roost, Gov. Wike should deal with it and save us his display of verbal indiscretion.

“More significantly is the fact that Gov. Nyesom Wike, having successfully concealed the budgets of Rivers State from the people for the second year, has also refused to tell Rivers people that Rivers State last month received the highest sum of N14.5b Paris Loan Refund from the Buhari administration.

“Instead of applauding the Buhari government for several bailouts funds, prompt refunds and general concern for the finances of states of Nigeria, Rivers State inclusive, Gov. Wike has rather chosen to bite the finger that feeds him. This is not surprising; after all, the governor has always been that especially to his benefactor, Chibuike Amaechi.

“The APC believes that Gov. Nyesom Wike is merely diverting attention from being transparent with the finances of Rivers State by making misleading statements to Rivers people even in the hallowed house of God.”

In view of telephone calls by members of the media inquiring about the meeting between the leader of All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and select youths of APC from across the 23 LGAs of the State took place as scheduled and issues outlined for discussion exhaustively dealt with.

The APC stated this in a press release made available to Newsflashngr.com by its State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Chris Finebone.

It reads: “The APC uses this medium to assure our media partners and the general public that the meeting was a closed strategic one and not meant for media coverage.

“We reassure our media friends and the public that any speculation that there was rancour and unruly behaviour by the youths is unfounded and totally untrue. Even more ludicrous is the rumour that any group engaged in booing while the meeting lasted. That is a lie taken from the pit of hell.

“The APC re-iterates that no such thing took place. May be it happened in the infantile imagination of naysayers and discredited propagandists of PDP.

The meeting between the Hon. Minister of Transportation and the youths of APC went well and there was no basis for any unruly argument or discord between the Minister who was the convener of the meeting and the youths.”
