Ikuru goes into hiding as his entire political structure collapses into APC

….Rivers APC hails Ogbakor Ikwere for filing behind Andrew Uchendu,

*Urges Sekibo and Ideozu to emulate Nwogu

This follows the decision of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) strongman, Chief Olaka Nwogu, to sacrifice his senatorial ambition and join forces with the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Senator Magnus Ngei Abe.

Olaka Nwogu, who was the PDP candidate for the rerun election and in pursuant of this new goal have strategically refused to attend any of the shambolic rallies and deceitful projects flag-offs organized by Wike in the South East Senatorial District; tested the waters of dumping Wike by approving and mobilising his supporters to massively defect to APC by late November 2016 to prepare ground for his formal defection immediately after the December 10 rerun election stating that denying Abe the Senate slot at this time will be a great disservice to Rivers State.

To worsen Wike’s political woes, Engr Tele Ikuru erstwhile Deputy Governor to Chibuike Amaechi known in some quarters as Rivers State modern Judas Iscariot went into hiding when Senator Abe and his Team stormed Andoni the home Local Government Area of Chief Uche Secondus former PDP Acting National Chairman as his Chief Strategist, Mobilizer and strongman, KINGSTON SYLVANUS defects to APC with over 600 PDP members. It is said that with this development both Ikuru, Secondus, Wike are now a little less better than orphans in the politics of Andonai not minding the decision of Chief Olaka to join forces with Abe.

According to Hon. Syvanus, “now that PDP has no candidate for the Senate slot for the district, what is the need to continue to stay in an obvious dead political party in the State?”

Senator Abe was visibly happy over this development as he received Kinston Sylvanus and the entire Tele Ikuru’s political structure emphasizing that nobody should rest until PDP and Wike are formally buried in Rivers State by ensuring that no PDP Candidate gets any vote during the rerun election in the State.

In a similar development, while receiving the over 300 Nwogu’s supporters and members of PDP at Bua Zaakpon community in Khana Local Government Area and Akpajo community in Eleme Local Government Area, who have decamped to APC; Senator Abe commended the people of Rivers South East for resolving to resist the tyranny of Governor Wike. Abe lamented the marginalisation of Ogoni people, saying: “Rivers State will be celebrating its 50 years anniversary next year and in those 50 years, no Ogoni son has been Speaker, Deputy Governor, Governor and Chief Judge. Is that not marginalisation?”

Abe said that the Ogoni people had resolved to prove to their detractors that they love themselves by agreeing to vote for a Senator of their choice in the person of himself. He assured the people that they would benefit more in APC than in PDP, pointing out that for now their son had been appointed Executive Director of Finance and Administration in the Niger delta Development Commission (NDDC), a position they had not previously occupied since the inception of the commission.

He also noted that the UNEP Report implementation was on course, assuring that if voted a Senator, he would fast-track the implementation. Advising the people to vote massively for APC on Saturday, Abe said:“Everywhere wey them don vote na APC win.
Them vote for Edo state, APC win; for Ondo state, who win? APC. This time around, we go vote for Rivers State. Election by AK47 is over. Everybody go and look for your PVC. On the 10th of December, there will be voting in Rivers state and when we finish voting, APC will win.”

Earlier in their speeches, Wike and Nwogu’s pillars in the South East district, Chief Gani Topba of Zaakpon community and Robinson Osaroluka of Akpajo community, on behalf of Wike/Olaka’s supporters assured Senator Abe that the people have keyed into “Choose-Your-Senator-Campaign”, adding that by December 10 that Abe would be returned as the Senator-elect.

Rivers APC has commended Olaka Nwogu and his supporters for their wise decision, which it said would help make for peaceful polls and thus save the lives of innocent Ogonis. “We urge APC faithful in the South East Senatorial district to accord Chief Olaka Nwogu a resounding reception immediately after the election as we arrange on how to get him used to democratic norms after his long sojourn with undemocratic elements in PDP,” the party said on Thursday in a statement signed by the State Chairman, Chief (Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya,

On developments in the Rivers East senatorial district the party hailed the resolve of Ogbakor Ikwerre, the umbrella body of Ikwerre Ethnic Nationality, to adopt and support the candidature of APC’s Chief Andrew Uchendu as the Senator to represent the zone based on his antecedents. “With this endorsement by Ogbakor Ikwerre, Senator George Sekibo should respect the stand of his constituency and allow his superior in the person of Uchendu to be formally elected without shedding of any blood,” the party said.

Rivers APC also noted with joy that with the return of Kalabari Prince and political strongman Ojukaye Flag Amachree from Wike’s gulag, the election of the People’s Speaker, Rt. Hon. Otelemaba Dan Amachree, as Senator for Rivers West Senatorial Zone, is now guaranteed.

“With the mammoth crowd that attended Ojukaye’s Thanksgiving ceremony at Buguma, the historical Headquarters of the Kalabaris, few days ago, PDP’s OSINAKACHUKWU T IDEOZU should stop his dream of going back to the Senate to continue his sleeping spree instead of contributing to the serious business of the Senate,” the statement said.

Fayose Condemns Removal Of Gov Wike’s CSO, Says; “FG Planning To Subvert The Will Of Rivers”

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has condemned the removal of the Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the Rivers State Governor, Mr Nyesom Wike less than five days to the State’s legislative re-run
election, saying; “With this ignoble action by the federal government, it is now clear that the federal government is out to subvert the will of the people of Rivers State by whatever means in favour of the All Progressives Congress (APC).”

Governor Fayose, who alerted the international community on the imminent danger being posed to Nigeria by the APC-led federal government, said; “Nigeria deserve total attention from the international community at this time. The international community should not look the other way while those holding power in Abuja plunge the country into crisis of international magnitude.”Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, quoted the governor as saying that it was getting clearer that Governor Wike was right when he claimed that
there was a plot to assassinate him before Saturday.

The governor said President Mohammadu Buhari should be reminded that he sworn to protect all Nigerians, irrespective of the party they belong to.

He asked; “How can anyone tamper with security aides of a State Governor without his consent? How can the Chief Security Officer of a state governor be changed without the consent of the governor? Isn’t
it now clear that they actually want to kill Governor Wike before the Saturday election?”

Governor Fayose, who said all steps being taken by the federal government were geared towards turning Nigeria to a one party State, warned that “Nigeria can never be turned to a one party State and if care is not taken, by the time this house of democracy is destroyed by the APC cabal, no one will be spared.”

He said those trying to impose their will on the people by whatever means must leant from history, especially what happened in Nigeria between 1979 and 1983 and where it led Nigeria to.

Rivers APC Tells Gov. Wike: Return The N2bn Rivers Money You Donated To Ondo State PDP

With the trouncing of Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] in the governorship election in Ondo State Saturday, the Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, is asking the governor of Rivers State to immediately retrieve and return the sum of N2bn of Rivers money he donated to the Ondo State branch of the PDP.


Source:http://www.newsflashngr.com/index.php/2016/11/27/rivers-apc-tells-gov-wike-return-n2bn-rivers-money-donated-ondo-state-pdp/

Making the demand Sunday afternoon was the Rivers State Publicity Secretary of All Progressives Congress, APC, Senibo Chris Finebone while addressing APC supporters in Port Harcourt shortly after the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) announced Chief Rotimi Akeredolu of the APC as the winner of the 2016 Ondo governorship election.

“It is unfortunate that Gov. Nyesom Wike is still playing Father Christmas with the commonwealth of Rivers people for his personal egoistic political voyage despite that the governor has cancelled hundreds of overseas scholarships and the students repatriated home among other important programmes. Agriculture is in its worst state since Rivers State was created.
Songhai Farm is gone; the Banana Farm at Tai is gone; RSSDA is now a ghost of its former self with the staff owed 17 months salaries. The various fish farms at Buguma, Andoni and other places that provided jobs for thousands of Rivers people are now history.

“It saddens the heart that our governor prefers to neglect important matters calling for attention at home but rather lavish our commonwealth on his personal political pursuits. Can you imagine that Gov. Nyesom Wike willingly donated a whopping N2bn to the Ondo State chapter of the PDP? It is horrible, mind-boggling and indefensible.

“Just like in the case of Edo, the PDP has lost and the governor should not wait to be reminded to return the N2bn back to the treasury of Rivers State immediately,” Finebone demanded.

Continuing, the APC Spokesman lambasted the governor for wasting the resources of the people on matters concerning the PDP rather than concentrate on frugally applying the state’s resources to the needs of the people of Rivers State.

“Whereas the PDP has states like Akwa Ibom and Delta that collect high monthly federal allocations, it is only Gov. Wike that plays the party’s godfather. So far, he has wasted billions of Naira hosting two failed national conventions of the PDP in Port Harcourt. He has profligately donated billions of Naira belonging to Rivers people to faraway Bayelsa, Edo and Ondo PDP chapters for purposes of elections while medical workers, pensioners and teachers are owed back home.

“Is it that Rivers State has been conquered by a small band of buccaneers led by Gov Wike and genuine elders are keeping quiet?” Finebone queried.

The APC Spokesman warned that if the governor did not return the N2bn he gave out to Ondo PDP, he will be forced to do so at the appropriate time.

INEC rigged Ondo election in advance for APC – Fayose

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has lamented the outcome of the Ondo State Governorship election, saying the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) connived with the All Progressives Congress (APC) and its collaborators in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to rig the election before it was conducted.


He said; “Just as I would have loved to congratulate the winner, Mr Rotimi Akeredolu (SAN), because in every contest, there must be a winner and a loser, the role of INEC in awarding victory to him in the election left much to be desired.”

The governor, who reacted to the outcome of the election in a statement issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayina, said INEC gave the APC victory in the election by deliberately replacing the name of Mr Eyitayo Jegede, the PDP candidate, thereby creating legal logjam that lasted till three days to the election.

He said that the PDP went to the election with its hands tied to the back because of the uncharitable actions of INEC, which has no doubt become an arm of the APC.

He maintained that apart from the APC, political parties in Nigeria are now contesting elections against INEC.

Governor Fayose lamented that “to sustain the ‘see and buy’ strategy and legalise money politics, the APC-led federal government deliberately created poverty in the country so as to continue to enslave the minds of Nigerians with peanuts to get their votes on election day, saying; “Dibo ko sebe (vote and collect money to cook soup) was the slang used by the APC in the Ondo State election and that only worked because the APC federal government have put Nigerians in abject poverty.”

He said; “Even though INEC allowed what appeared like a free and fair atmosphere on the election day, the election had been won and lost before it was held.

“For instance, INEC that witnessed the PDP primary election that produced Mr Eyitayo Jegede succumbed to pressure from the APC cabal to replace him with Jimoh Ibrahim, who did not take part in any primary
election known to the Electoral Act.

“What could anyone have done under 72 hours in an election that was heavily monetised by the APC?

“The whole process was a deliberate sabotage by INEC, which has totally bastardised the electoral process.

“Obviously, all these shenanigans are geared towards turning Nigeria to a one part state by weakening all opposition parties ahead of the 2019 general elections but I can assure Nigerians that this will not last because the people will always be defeat tyranny.”

…Alleges O/C SARs,Police Inspector of complicity

A civil rights group, Save Lagos Group (SLG) has dragged the three (3) citizens of the Republic India and their company, SUNOLA Vegetable Oil & Foods Limited Company, a subsidiary of KEWALRAM Nigeria Limited, Lagos, before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over illegal and fraudulent seizure of One Hundred and Six million, Five Hundred Thousand Naira Commission rates of the goods bought by the Company Authorized Distributor, Mr. Selim Alamutu, the Chairman CESSA-KAMSEL Integrated Investment Limited since 2004 till 2016.

It also alleged Inspector Sule with Phone Number-08052313414 and Officer-In- Charge of Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of Lagos State Police Command for conniving with the India citizens to evade the investigation of the Company fraudulent activities, alleging that many Nigeria citizens have been defrauded by these Indian Citizens through their Company in Nigeria, adding that it has been the habit of NigeriaSecurity personnel to cover up of foreigners from arrest over criminal acts.

Those Company officials that were dragged before the anti-graft agency was; Mr. Suresh Naya, Mr. Rajesh Ramaswamy and Rajnesh Potey, the former General Manager, Former Acting General Manager and incumbent General Manager of SUNOLA Foods Limited, Isolo, Lagos State respectively, as well as the Company’s Head of Account Section,Mr. Otteh, saying that they were dragged before the agency in accordance with Part VII of Section 38(1) and Part II of 6(1a-q) of the EFCC Act 2004.

This was contained in a Petition Letter dated 24th of October, 2016 and signed by the Convener of the group, Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman and as well forwarded the same to the Acting Chairman and Deputy Director of Operation of the EFCC in Abuja and Lagos office respectively and Copied the authorities of the Nigeria Police Force(NPF) and Indian Embassy in Nigeria for necessary action, calling for the immediate arrest of the aforementioned India citizens in connection with these fraudulent and criminal activities in
accordance with the Section 24(1e) of the amended 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It urged the anti-graft Commission to investigate the Lagos State Airport Road Branch of the Zenith Bank with Account Number-1011361443, which the India Company has been used to defraud unsuspected Nigerian customers of their Company, described the Company action as illegal, evil, satanic and anti-Nigerians ,calling on the concerned authority to save unsuspected Nigerians from prey of these non-Nigerians.

“In view of the indubitable fact that jungle rule of delusive demagogues and desperadoes are being satanically entrenched in the aforementioned SUNOLA Refined Vegetable Oils and KEWALRAM Nigeria Limited to the charging of those of unsuspected distributors like Mr. Selim Alamutu and his Companies, who strictly believe in the rule of law/rule of Business tramsaction, ethics and good conscience as principle man of integrity, uprightness, truthfulness and Godliness.

At the early hours of today, information came in that the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University, Oye Ekiti (FUOYE), Prof Kayode Soremekun, who was the INEC Returning Officer in the recently concluded Edo State governorship election that is still a subject of litigation, will also serve as the Returning Officer for the Ondo State election.

Source:http://www.newsflashngr.com/index.php/2016/11/25/fayose-talks-tough-says-democracy-full-trial-ondo-state-inec-merged-apc/

The questions that came to my mind were; is Prof Kayode Soremekun the only Vice Chancellor in Nigeria? Is FUOYE the only federal university in Nigeria? Is Ekiti the only State where INEC can find Returning Officers?

Definitely, INEC is up to a sinister game on the Ondo State election and it is obvious that the electoral commission is working with the All Progressives Congress (APC).

This belief was further made manifest by the response of Prof Soremekun to a SMS and a call, saying that he was only being used as mdecoy by INEC.

This was further corroborated by the INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in Ondo State, Mr Olusegun Agbaje, who said on television that identities of those to be used as Returning Officers are being
kept secret.

Obviously, it is clear beyond any doubt that INEC is only trying to make a volte-face, after its sinister motive of using the same people it used to rig the Edo State election was exposed.
Electoral process should be an open book that anyone can read. Sadly, less than 24 hours to the Ondo State election, INEC is telling Nigerians and the entire world that identities of those to serve as Returning Officers are being kept secret.

Why should those that will conduct election be hidden from Nigerians? Is election now a secret affair?

The sad reality confronting the electoral process in Nigeria today is that apart from the APC, other political parties are now contesting elections against INEC.

It is clear that the Returning Officers already have fake results that they will announce to Nigerians as they did in Edo State.

Evidently, democracy in Nigeria has suffered a serious setback and it will take the insistence and resistance of the people of Ondo State for their votes to count tomorrow.

Furthermore, to sustain the planned rigging, names of some judges seen as trusted enough to give the APC favourable judgment have been compiled to be used as members of the Election Petition Tribunal. In other words, the election tribunal has been constituted even before the election is held.

I therefore urge the people of Ondo State to be extremely vigilant. When they go out tomorrow to cast their votes, they must stand by their votes. They must follow their votes from the polling stations to the ward collation centres, local government collation centres and the State collation centre.

My dear people of Ondo State, if they tell you to leave the State collation centre at any time that collation will be suspended as they did in Edo State, resist it. Stay awake all night on Saturday till
final result is announced.

INEC must be reminded that has a duty to Nigerians and not APC. The people of Ondo State must be the one to elect their own governor, not INEC.

Therefore, tomorrow’s election must be free, fair and credible. Nigerians must remember there is no alternative to democracy, we must salvage it together.

Late Barrister Ken Atsuwete has been described as the “defender of the defenceless, voice of the voiceless and man of God who won souls for His kingdom.”

Source>>>>>>http://www.newsflashngr.com/index.php/2016/11/22/hon-rotimi-amaechi-lauds-late-ken-atsuwete-funeral-describe-defender-defenceless/#more-18284

Minister of Transportation and former Governor of Rivers State, Rt. Hon Chibuike Amaechi stated this at the funeral service for the late legal practitioner, human rights activist and pastor with the Redeemed Christian Church of God, who was killed in Port Harcourt on August 29, 2016.

Amaechi, who was represented by the Director-General of Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), Dr Dakuku Peterside, stressed that rather than mourn the exit of Atsuwete; he should be honoured because he fought against injustice and contributed immensely towards a better society.

“Ken served the Lord faithfully, he will live in glory. We should not be mourning, we should be grateful that he impacted on this world within his short time in life. He was a man who believed in a cause and fought doggedly till death.“Wherever there was injustice, Ken would fight against it. He offered his life so that the rest of us will live. He exhibited the peak of courage. Be assured that the sacrifice Ken has made will bring to an end the unnecessary killings in Rivers State.

“He was not a member of the any political party, he was not a member of APC, yet he offered to defend Ojukaye (Flag Amachree, a member of APC). He gave his all to defend Ojukaye. Injustice, regardless of party affiliation, was something he abhorred. He will not pay the price for nothing,” the Minister stated.

While saying that God will not abandon the family nor suffer any form of frustration, the minister stressed that his death will bear fruit of “justice, peace, harmony and a thriving society.”

The officiating minister at the funeral service, Pastor Grant Alobari of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, quoting from Ecclesiastes 7:1&2 spoke of two important days in the life of man, birth and death.

He said that the deceased lived for the poor and those oppressed, adding that he was “sympathetic, humble and ready to help at all times.”

The cleric said that God “expects us to do what will glorify him,” an injunction he says the deceased carried out till the point of death.

Several dignitaries were present at the occasion including the immediate past Acting Managing Director of NDDC, Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, members of Nigerian Bar Association (NBA), civil society groups, among others.

The likes of governor Donald Duke, Liyel Imoke etc that did well in governance, served their terms, and are statesmen in their States, serving as advisers to the governor in power.

Peter Obi should emulate this and keep his fast dwindling respect.Going from Soludo to Obidigbo promising financial support for them to come out as candidates in the next gubernatorial election is immature and immaterial.

In addition, funding and training Iko and cohorts as agents to be used in the election poses security risk and Peter needs be aware that today’s government in Anambra state has zero tolerance for criminals and crimes.

As for his e-rats and e-thugs, whose stock in trade is to peddle lies and malign the government of the day, the dossiers are been recorded. They should bear in mind that when two elephants fight, the grass bear the brunt.

Peter Obi should bow out gracefully or if he feels he still has the political clout, he should come vie for Anaocha LGA chairmanship election. In the last election, I won him in the Anambra stats house of Assembly, his candidate lost and in the federal house. So will it be in the rerun of Anambra central senatorial. He equally needs to remember on whose back he rode to success in his time. Chief Ben Obi (Igwe APGA)

Concrete Information to us from a consortium sources within the All Progressive Congress [APC] Secretariat in Abuja indicate that a massive decampment from the APC within the few coming months would be imminent should corrective measures not be taken to placate the unhappy members of the party.


Source: http://www.newsflashngr.com/index.php/2016/11/21/breaking-top-apc-members-dump-party-buhari-brothers-next-year/

One of the top sources, who spoke with our correspondent, pressed on the issue of ongoing tussles within the party that has resulted to the party not having a clear leader or leadership.

He indicated that it has left many of the top members angry over the direction of the party come early next year when many of the politicians would begin preparations against their planned interests and races.

The source who is also a top member of the APC, expressed concern over the Bola Tinubu group who have made their anger open to the party and to the public.

He indicated that folks within the Tinubu group have expressed interest in vying for the presidential seat in 2019 while others have expressed interest in the various gubernatorial races coming up in the various states.
“The party is so much in disarray to conduct a clean and rancor free primaries“, lamented the top APC chieftain who went to add that “we will only wait till early next year before leaving this APC for Buhari and his brothers“.

The source refused to mention which party the aggrieved APC members intend to defect into when they eventually leave the APC.

But the source hinted that top APC members from the south west have been holding numerous meetings to carve out pathways out of the imbroglio.

And one of the pathways have been publicly disclosed to include the formation of a new political party. This is particularly the case for the likes of Governor Nasiru Elrufai of Kaduna State who have begun preparations for the 2019 presidential race and others like him in the party who believe that the 2019 candidacy of President Buhari would not only be unlikely but unpopular.

The group of would-be aspirants for the top tickets are said to be prepared for the eventuality of President Buhari decision to hold on to the APC ticket for 2019. For the group, an alternate party would inevitably be the only option.

The new political party is believed to include the active participation of personalities like the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abubakar Atiku, Bola Tinubu, Peter Obi, Ohakim, Governor of Adamawa State, Governor of Kaduna State, Governor of Sokoto State and a host of other former governors.

It is expected that by January 2017, the APC will become a mere shadow of its old self.

As Ghana Presidential Election Draws Nearer: Fayose Issues Warning Message To Ghanaians – Don’t Buy Into APC’s Fake Change


As the December 7 presidential election in Ghana draws near, Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has counselled the people of Ghana to be mindful of making the same mistake made by Nigerians in the 2015 presidential election by voting for change, which has brought hunger, sufferings and economic recession to the country, such that even the entire West African sub-region is being affected.

He said “by buying into the All Progressives Congress (APC) message of change, Nigerians are now facing a kind of hunger and suffering never experienced in the country in the last 30 years and Ghanaians must not fall into that kind of trap.”

Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said in a statement issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM in Ado-Ekiti on Sunday that Governor Fayose made this call while playing host to some men of God from Ghana on Saturday.The governor said; “Ghanaians should not succumb to the deceit of the opposition party that are calling for a change of government. Rather, they should return the incumbent President, John Mahama, who has no doubt done creditably well to deserve a re-election.

“Ghanaians should know that the change in Nigeria brought hunger, suffering, disregard for the rule of law as well as arrest and detention of Nigerians without trial and be mindful of those preaching change to them.

“Most importantly, the situation in Ghana at present is similar to that of Nigeria. Like President Mohammadu Buhari, opposition party, New Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate, Nana Akufo-Addo has contested the presidency two times. This is the third time he is contesting. He is also 74 year-old.

“In Nigeria, change is synonymous with economic recession that is even getting to the level of depression. Even majority of those who brought the change are now regretting it.

“Therefore, tell your people in Ghana that Nigerians are already regretting the change they made last year, which has plunged the country into serious economic hardship. Tell them to learn from Nigerians and reject those preaching message of change to them. They should hold on to the government that they have now and beware of a change that will take their country to economic recession.”

Early this morning as I scanned through facebook, I saw viral pictures of the visit of former President Goodluck Jonathan to Sokoto. He came to the caliphate to sympathize with the Dasuki family over the death of the Late Sultan Ibrahim Dasuki who was the father of his National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki who is currently in detention.

There was a huge crowd that received him with placards asking for his “return”. I found that very intriguing. In the north? In Sokoto? Asking an “infidel” to return to power? This is serious indeed.

As I scanned through the comments made by people, I stumbled on one which suggested that the event was a carefully arranged political gimmick meant to create a wrong impression. That got me thinking and I asked myself a number of questions.

Why would GEJ rent a crowd in Sokoto of all places?

What will be his objective by so doing?

Is he running for any office?

Is there any election?

Sokoto is a state ruled by an APC Governor.

Who would have arranged the rented crowd? Who will fund it? In the pictures, you will even find Officers of the state local agencies.

Dasuki is in jail and incommunicado. He couldn’t even attend the funeral of his father. He must be overcome with deep grief and I think renting a crowd or pulling off anything political will be the last thing on his mind right now. Even for a fully grown man, the death of a father breaks him down.
The answer is simple.

Across the country, there is huge disenchantment with the government of President Buhari and his party, the APC.

People are hungry, tired and frustrated.

I say this with a deep sense of responsibility. I supported and voted for Buhari but in all of my adult life, I have never seen people this hungry before.

Even for me with a fairly stable job and a steady pay, I am struggling to cope with the spiraling inflation which has made a complete nonsense of my pay. In the last eight months, my expenditure has gone up by more than 100% yet the salary remains the same.

If someone like me whose salary has never been delayed for a second in the last seven years is complaining, then you can imagine what people who salaries are not even paid are going through.
There is hunger in the land.

Our economy has gone to the gutters. Our money has lost value. Businesses are crumbling. Companies are closing down. The forex market is crazy.

I have a friend who deals on bags somewhere in Surulere. We worship in the same church. I buy bags from him. In September, I had gone to his shop to buy school bags for my kids. When I got there, I thought I had missed the address and I had to check again to be sure I was at the right place. The shop was practically empty.

The guy himself wore a forlorn look. This was a shop that brimmed with goods. I even asked him to look for a bigger shop because it was hard moving inside to look for bags to buy.

What happened, i asked him with deep concern.

My Ballista, he responded with his deep Anambra accent, this country is finished. No money to buy anything again. No dollar. If you buy dollar at 370( that was the price then), how much will you sell your goods, who will buy? If this thing continues, I will have to return home. “Ballista, mmadu ya anakwa virrage o, ighoyato?”

Sincerely, I was deeply heartbroken.

That is how bad it is. That is the story of most small and medium size businesses in Nigeria today. It’s even worse for workers whose salary values have been rendered completely useless by inflation. Then for those who are owed, it’s pure hell. I sincerely wonder how people eat these days.

States are broke. Oil revenues are going down by the day. International crude prices have plummeted, then on account of militant activities in the Niger Delta, our production has gone down.

Money is in short supply. States are not getting enough and can’t fund even the most basic needs of their people. In Nigeria today, only three states out of 36 are stable financially. This is complete disaster indeed.

Buhari’s approach to the Niger Delta question has been an absolute disaster. Yaradua saw this same situation and applied deep wisdom and things got better.

Take it or leave it, Buhari’s plan is not working. Pushing soldiers into the region is not the answer. It failed before and will fail and fail again. Every problem in this world is not solved by a military solution.
For as long as we rely on oil to run this country, we must evolve a workable solution to handle issues of the Niger Delta.

Even with a crumbling economy, there is insecurity. Across the country, people live in fear. From marauding and blood thirsty Fulani herdsmen in the South East, militancy in the Niger Delta, Boko Haram in the North East, Shia Muslims clash in the North West, Nigeria has become a huge battle field with an endless spilling of blood.

Last week, over 20 Shia Muslims were gunned down by the police in Kaduna.

The Shias have never had it so bad in this country. With their leader, El Zak Zakky in detention without trial, close to 100 of their members have been killed in the last one year.

These people have existed for several years before now. They have had their procession over the years without any incident. What has changed?

Fulani herdsmen have always been with us from time immemorial. How come they suddenly became killers who carry weapons of war and extermination?

Under GEJ, the only security issue we had was Boko Haram. The Niger Delta was calm and oil production was proceeding well, albeit, at a huge cost. But pipelines and oil installations were not bombed. Money was coming in, though what it was used for is another issue.

I have asked what the economic policy of Buhari is exactly. That question has not been answered. What is the definite forex policy of this government?

Few days ago, security agencies raided and arrested currency dealers. How will that help the market?
On the political front, the APC has been a comprehensive disaster. A party that enjoys huge majority in both chambers of the National Assembly now behaves like an opposition party?

Presidential communications are thrown out like rotten meat. There is no cohesion anywhere. Everything appears to be in sixes and sevens. Within the APC, there is common ground on anything. In the eyes of Buhari, every other person is a thief.

Two days ago, the Edo State House of Assembly approved a 300 million Naira house as parting gifts for Oshiomhole and his deputy. This is in addition to a pension for life. These things are enough to cause deep emotional disequilibrium in the mind of the average hungry Nigerian.

You were Governor for eight years with all the perks of office and you leave with so much yet people who worked for 35 years can’t event get the pittance they are entitled to as pension.

I could go on and on.

Barry Mpigi should never have shown the dexterity of a wizened political gladiator. But he did and for good measure too.

He took Oyigbo against the wish of Governor Nyesom Wike, conquered his home base and set his sights firmly on the battle for the political soul of Eleme.

Barry didn’t end there.

Like a Spartan, Barry drowned attempts to deny him of his hard won victory in Tai when Wike and his cronies encamped against INEC in a bid to stop the commission from accepting the final result.

Many fans of Magnus Abe say Abe is able. Abe has stood up to Wike and the PDP more than any one else. More than any of APC’s senatorial candidates who are fighting to edge out opponents sponsored by Wike, Abe appears more certain of victory.

In the fight against Wike in the Rivers South East, Abe has more than 35000 unadulterated votes. This has left Olaka Nwogu and his backers gasping for air.

Do you really need to look too far to understand why Wike has being on the tail of Abe and Barry?
Wike must have dreams that hurt whenever he thinks of Barry Mpigi. Wike used to describe Barry as a general when he worked with Amaechi.

When the rebellion against Amaechi was hatched in the Jonathan era, Barry was apparently one of the favourites Wike had hoped to net. That didn’t happen.

So you can understand why Wike wants so very much to put Barry in harm’s way; why Barry is accused of murder; and why Wike has ordered his Attorney General to commence proceedings against one who was once a friend of his.

On the drawing board, it appears Wike has come to one conclusion. To stop Abe, he either needs to inconvenience Barry or simply lock him away as he did to Ojukaye Amachree.What a world we live in folks! Can all this be politics?

Strangely Barry is accused of killing a woman. Strangely too, the move against Barry is coming as he prepares for the Eleme vote which may not deter his march forward. But which may give Abe an extra boost.

Life is valuable. Nobody, no matter how privileged, has a right to take the life of another. If that’s the point Wike is trying to make, it is understandable.

It would however, be counter productive if truth is set aside in search of shadows; if a government would go out of the way to target citizens who have committed no crime.

That won’t be right.

We have a state for instance, that wears the look of Golgotha. Human skulls have been heartlessly placed on our roadsides like decorations. Mutilated bodies which paint gory images have been tossed around by the way side like unwanted wastes. Whole families have equally been wiped away under our very noses while some villages have been sacked and our people sent packing by gun-crazy hitmen.

Those responsible for these atrocities have not been brought to justice. Maybe, they are unknown civilians, apologies to late Fela Anikulakpo who sang about the Unknown Soldier.

Barry didn’t do it. Otherwise he would not be walking free since that incident. Why now? Can this really be politics? Try as I can, I still can’t understand what our politics has turned to.

The gubernatorial elections have come and gone. Government has been formed and the governor needs not be a governor of the PDP.

He simply should be the governor of all, a governor who brings everybody together under one roof and a governor who acts like the good shepherd. This is not meant to be a viltrolic attack on Wike. It is a mere advice. Time is ticking. The world is watching. The Rivers people are waiting too.

The Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress said its attention has been drawn to a press statement by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Rivers State signed by Jerry Needam on behalf of the PDP State Chairman, Felix Obuah strenuously but unjustifiably trying to convey the impression that APC sent thugs to invade Government House, Port Harcourt under the protection of a certain Assistant Commissioner of Police.

The APC in a statement signed by its spokeman, Chris Finebone said the “press release is mendacious and the height of abuse of free speech by a political party. There have been very ludicrous statements by the PDP over the years but this particular statement exposes Rivers State Chapter of PDP as a group totally bereft of any dint of moral endowment.”

The statement reads: “While not speaking for the Rivers State Police Command, we believe that the official press statement by the Command lucidly captures the true position of what transpired when the police clearly stated that the APC behaved more maturely by hearkening to the advice of the Police regarding their original intention to match to the Rivers State House of Assembly.

“The APC believes that the poisoned arrows the PDP is now shooting at the Nigeria Police are misplaced, undeserved, unnecessary and borne out of debilitating frustration having danced naked in the ever dicey arena of the general public.“A careful reflection in the mirror by Felix Obuah, Nyesom Wike and his ragtag PDP band will remind them a thing or two. However, it is important to remind the PDP that APC, as a party, has no special dealings with any police officer the way Nyesom Wike as Minister for Education used the then R/S Police Commissioner, Mbu Joseph Mbu to harass, harangue and assault the then Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi during the better-forgotten years of former President Goodluck Jonathan.

“From a distance, the APC can justifiably conclude that what the PDP in Rivers State is doing today is cheap pedestrian blackmail against the Nigeria Police and the APC. Gov Wike and his PDP must know that the train has long left the station. We wish he understands. Indeed what Gov. Wike and the PDP are suffering from at the moment is the inescapable but unfounded fear of ones shadows.

“The APC wishes to call on the Nigeria Police to ignore the distraction by the confused PDP buccaneers in Rivers State. The APC believes that Gov. Nyesom Wike and the PDP know that the APC does not play nor does it, as a party, intend to indulge in the kind of ignoble and despicable activities the governor, as Minister of Education under former President Goodluck Jonathan, engaged in with the former Rivers State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu especially to harass, harangue and assault the former Rivers State Governor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi during the better-forgotten years of the Jonathan administration.

In his characteristic unconventional approach to governance and the art of making his people happy, Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose on Thursday hit some streets of Ado Ekiti with birthday goodies as part of activities marking the celebration of his 56th birthday, NEWSFLASHNGR can exclusively report.

More photos here>>>>>>>http://www.newsflashngr.com/index.php/2016/11/18/exclusive-photos-governor-fayose-celebrated-birthday-streets-ado-ekiti-thursday/

With market women and passers-by shouting Oshoko… Oshoko…as they trooped out to celebrate with him, Mr. Fayose asked his well wishers to line up in orderly manner as he sliced and shared the cake amongst them with a little cash for coke to drive it down.

Reacting to the unusual development, governor Fayose said it is only right for him to give back to the same people who voted him into office. He said “It is a show of love to my people, we can’t sit in the government house and enjoy the comfort of the office without remembering them, I got a lot of gifts on my birthday, cakes, yam tubers, cows, rice and so on, how many can I eat? How many clothes can I wear at a time?“It is just normal, just good for me to go back to the street and give it back to the people that put me in the government house, this is my style, this is me naturally, just that this time around it is more elaborate moving from one junction to the other to ensure about 500 persons per junction get something small on my birthday.“The more people you can touch, the better for your life today and tomorrow, these are the set of people that will never walk into the government house asking for contract, asking for help, they will not even be allowed to get in unless the governor leave the comfort of his office to come and meet with them wherever they are and that is exactly what I am doing.“These are the people that employed us into the office, they should not be abandoned for one minute, we must stay with them continuously at every opportunity”.

There is no impeachment moves against the speaker, Delta State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon Monday Igbuya, says Henry Ovie, his Chief Press Secretary.

A statement from the office of the speaker distanced the members of the assembly from the impeachment rumour and described the members as highly responsible and patriotic individuals who are more concerned with the peaceful co-existence and development of the state than heating up the polity, as it is being insinuated by a section of the media.

The statement signed by Henry and made available to NEWSFLASHNGR also came hard on some journalists in the state, urging them not to turn the state into a battle field but to engage themselves in constructive and productive journalism.

He urged them to stop cheapening the profession by publishing unworthy news items and using unprintable words in their publications.

“The Rt. Hon Speaker did not exchange blow with any staff”

The Chief Press Secretary accused some media practitioners of working tooth and nail with some detractors to cause disaffection and disunity within the state.

“The Delta State House of Assembly is not a home for blackmailers, opportunists and hooligans”

He described the allegation of inexperience, corruption, high handedness and inability to lead the house as “unimaginable, unthinkable and cheap propaganda by enemies of the state.Ebireri said some media practitioners and their sponsors were executing a plan to discredit the speaker.

He fired shot at those saying Igbuya is bringing the house into disrepute and ridicule, describing the view as an irresponsible vendetta.

The chief press secretary also accused some journalists of resorting to cheap blackmail and blatant lies in the agitation of the assembly workers.

He praised Igbuya for his dynamic leadership, outstanding contribution and commitment to the development of the state.

He commended him for stamping his unique leadership style in the management of the assembly and the steps that are essential to the future of the house.

“His life is a flowing tribute of excellence. His leadership style has earned him the gratitude and admiration of many while his conviction and willingness to speak out with a clear voice make him the best House of Assembly Speaker in the history of Delta State” he said.

“The Rt. Hon Speaker has helped to reshape legislative duties in the state. His outstanding leadership is appreciated by Deltans from all walks of life”

He assured the good people of Delta State that Igbuya would not be distracted in his assigned role of developing the state and working for the prosperity agenda of the Okowa administration.

“Chief Monday Igbuya has never acted against the interests of the members and the state. He will continue to play his role in the development of the non-oil sector, creation of wealth, reduction of youth unemployment, rapid infrastructural development and inclusive economic growth” Ebireri said.

He advised Mister Speaker to disregard the antics of blackmailers.

“Igbuya, a legislator so committed to the ideal of a better society and to the welfare of the down trodden, stands very tall in Nigeria as a man of great moral rectitude” he added.

Governor Nyesom Wike is to be blamed for the failure to pay Rivers State civil servants, pensioners and contractors, the State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said. The party in a statement signed by the State Chairman, Dr. Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, said it would be wrong to lay the blame at the doorstep of President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC-led Federal Government.

“We as a political party truly sympathise with Rivers civil servants, pensioners and contractors over their current travails. However, we wish to disagree with insinuations in some quarters in the state that President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC-led Federal Government are responsible for this unfortunate situation.

The truth is that Governor Wike and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) are solely responsible for the woes of Rivers workers, retires and contractors, by refusing to pay them for the past eight months,” Rivers APC said in the statement issued on Monday in the state capital, Port Harcourt.
The statement noted that Rivers State presently collects the highest revenue from the Federation Account each month. “Apart from this, Rivers generates the highest Internal Revenue after Lagos and Kano states. In addition, Wike has borrowed a whopping sum of N150 million since he assumed office on May 29, last year without anything tangible as an achievement to show for all these funds so far collected,” Rivers APC said.

The party lamented: “Sadly, Wike has squandered all these funds on things that have little or nothing to do with the good of Rivers State and its people. Rather than to pay civil servants, pensioners and contractors, he has chosen to waste scarce resources on hosting all manner of conferences, sponsoring PDP candidates running for election in other states; hosting failed PDP conventions; promotion of bloodbath, insecurity and associated evils in Rivers State and bribing people everywhere.

He prefers spending the money he should use to pay salaries and uplift the lives of Rivers state people and prefers to flex muscles with Abuja in his bid to be seen as the PDP leader in the country.”

Rivers APC advised the people of the state to stop suffering in silence but to continuously demand good governance from the ill-prepared Wike administration and to hold it fully responsible for the monumental suffering which he has inflicted on the people of the state since he bulldozed his way into the Government House.

The rerun election coming up on 10th December, 2016 is an appropriate opportunity for the Rivers State people to express their anger on this misfortune and ill-prepared administration of Chief Nyesom Wike by voting against PDP Candidates.

By Miss Monica Ada C. Eze
Intro:

Agha Hasan Abedi also known as Agha Sahab a Pakistani banker and philanthropist who founded the Bank of Credit and Commerce International in 1972 may have had Engr Dave Umahi the action Governor of Ebonyi State in mind when he stated and I quote, “The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people, but real management is developing people through work.”

Source>>>>http://www.newsflashngr.com/index.php/2016/11/13/ebonyi-efccs-futile-misadventure-vs-governor-umahis-financial-wizardry-prudence/

If one critically examine the revolution currently going in Ebonyi State one can easily conclude that Engr Umahi specializes in developing people through assigning to them tasks that go a long way in assisting in developing Ebonyi State and her people.

On the other hand, President Barack Obama of USA may also have Ebonyi State in mind when he stated, “I put forward a budget of what I called “middle-class economics” that continues to be fiscally prudent but makes necessary investments for us to continue the economic momentum and job growth.”

This great quote by this outstanding leader of the world aptly applies to Ebonyi State because it is only the result of budget prudence and financial wizardry of a leader like Engr Dave Nweze Umahi could be embarking upon the type of current infrastructure revolution going on in the State that dwarfs the feats of all the past administrations in Ebonyi State put together and still decide to not only increase the salaries and emolument of staff and entitlements of Pensioners but to pay such on 15th of every month at a period of recession when most States in Nigeria are owing their staff months of unpaid salaries.
Before I divulge into the main issues of this attempt and for avoidance of doubt this treatise is not to praise the Ebonyi State Government but strictly aimed to examine critically the financial prudence of the Umahi’s administration and the current celebration in some quarters of the visit and operation of EFCC in the State.

As a concerned daughter of Ebonyi state not necessarily as the Technical Assistant on Media to Governor Umahi, I decided to task myself to unearth for you, the reader, the public and our people in Diaspora the futility or otherwise of the recent EFCC venture into Ebonyi State at this particular time and to appeal to Ebonyi State people not to be disillusioned or disenchanted in any way or feel intimidated by propagandists whose Umahi’s pragmatic leadership have become a source of misery to them and their sponsors.

On 9th November, 2016,I observed that the main discussion going on in most parts of Ebonyi State was the operation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) carried out in the state and reflected by the Sun Newspaper and other dailies’ including the Social Media of this day alleging that EFCC has sealed Governor Umahi’s private properties.

Sadly, I also noticed with misgiving on this fateful day, the wide jubilation and celebration over this operation within the ranks and circles of some misguided and disgruntled opposition politicians whose disdain for the ongoing revolution by the Umahi’s administration is well known.

Having said all these, you can now understand my goal in this treatise. Permit me therefore to present to you the main issues of this attempt.

John Milton (1608-1674) an English poet defined prudence as “Prudence is the virtue by which we discern what is proper to do under various circumstances in time and place” and this properly explains aptly the happenings in Ebonyi state but to understand and appreciate the mission of Governor Dave Nweze Umahi in the politics of Ebonyi State, and Nigeria at large, his mission statement must come to play.

It states: “My mission is to enhance the welfare of our people, and empower all Ebonyians to be self-reliant, through the compassionate delivery of transparent and God-fearing governance, based on integrity and dignity.”

With this, I will attempt to explain that the venture of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) that deals with criminality and misappropriation of public funds into Ebonyi State, during the reign of this God-fearing man must be a venture that was misplaced.

In achieving a prudent management of the scarce funds available to Ebonyi State, a serious woman of God, Dr (Pastor) Queen Agwu, was appointed as the State Accountant-General, with Dr Dennis Ude Ekumankama a very forthright fellow as the Commissioner of Finance, and Dr Ignatius Unah as the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry.

With these trio financial wizards, Ebonyians can be rest-assured that their funds are not only safe but will be utilised to achieve the vision and mission of the David of our time. Accordingly, the Vision of the ministry is so explicitly on the vision of the Governor. “The vision of the ministry is the integration and implementation of fiscal and developmental policies and programmes of the state government.”

Under this administration, and to ensure accountability, transparency and improved revenue collection, the governor gave the Board of Internal Revenue a full autonomy, not minding that most states in Nigeria can’t pay salaries because of the result of the recession in Nigeria. But under the Umahi regime the case in Ebonyi State is totally different.

The Ebonyi State workers’ salaries are now paid on or before 15th of every month, in line with His Excellency, the state governor’s directive. Other genuine claims like leave allowance of the workers are paid regularly. Gratuities and pension benefits of retired officers are now paid monthly along side with the salaries.

The ministry’s in-built checks and controls system through posting of internal auditors and other mechanisms have made the state government financial transaction in ministries/ departments more in line with budget provisions and financial laws.

This, no doubt, is the policy trust of the present administration on transparency, accountability and quality service delivery. In budget implementation, we have ensured that contractor’s certificates are paid timely and that fund voted for a particular project is strictly applied for the purpose. Over head releases are on monthly basis and regular too.

That has given a boost to ministries and non-ministerial departments in carrying out their recurrent activities. Financial reporting has been improved upon. At present, there is no arrears of the State Annual Accounts. The Office of the Accountant-General introduced e-revenue and salary in the state. This salary automation ensures that each staff pays the correct tax, because this has been factored into the software.

Today, Ebonyi State is referred to as one huge construction site with three solid flyovers almost completed and to capture what is happening in Ebonyi State more aptly, Engr Babachir Lawal, a chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) said it all: “Well, I cannot in all honesty understand how these works have been achieved within this short time and, indeed, in the climate of dire economic shortages of government.

I am impressed that you (Dave Umahi) were able to do these works within the cost you mentioned. I can, in all honesty, tell you that the work is far beyond the cost. Now, this is a standard for other states and the Federal Government to emulate. To me, Governor Umahi is one of the few persons who believe that meagre resources could be used to achieve much, if we remove greed, which breeds corruption. Without mincing words, Umahi, is better than some governors in my own party, the APC.”

Before going further on this treatise, let me unequivocally and unambiguously state that EFCC’s Establishment Act mandates the EFCC to combat financial and economic crimes. The commission is empowered to prevent, investigate, prosecute and penalise economic and financial crimes, and is charged with the responsibility of enforcing the provisions of other laws and regulations relating to economic and financial crimes.

It is a fact that EFCC based on the above definition of its operations and establishment is free to visit and investigate any act they perceive criminal or illegal which may have caused they visit to Ebonyi State as reflected in the Sun Newspaper and other dailies’ publication of 9th November, 2016 alleging that EFCC has sealed Governor Umahi’s private properties.

The above notwithstanding, i wish to correct the erroneous impression as reflected in some of these dailies that ‘EFCC has sealed Governor Umahi’s private properties’.

I accept the fact that an “under investigation” sign was placed on Orsbon La Palm Hotel and Brass Filling stations, and some other properties assumed to belong to Governor Dave Umahi of Ebonyi State, because of the alleged misappropriation of N400 million released by Col Sambo Dasuki (retd), National Security Adviser (NSA) to former President Goodluck Jonathan, for the 2015 general elections in Ebonyi State but the above notwithstanding, i wish to state clearly that placing an ‘Investigation order’ on the said properties is not the same as sealing the properties. Sealing the properties in a lay man’s language entails closing these business outlets for business transactions with the public, which is not the case in this regard.

I will like to reiterate, all the same, that these properties under investigation were acquired by Governor Umahi as a private citizen, when he was outside the government and have nothing to do with any release either from Dasuki or any government source and, therefore, it is erroneous on the side of EFCC to place an investigation order on a property duly acquired legally by Umahi when he was not in government.

Third, and very importantly, the EFCC’s action amounts to nothing since Engr Dave Umahi resigned his directorship and ownership of all his business empire since assumption of office as deputy governor of Ebonyi State in 2011. This act, therefore, becomes laughable for some group of people to assume that Umahi’s properties were sealed by EFCC, as his office – both as a one-time deputy governor and currently as the Governor of Ebonyi State – does not permit him to own or run any other business, except that of government.

However, it is important to note that Umahi, by the grace of God through the mandate given to him by the great people of Ebonyi State, is the incumbent executive Governor of Ebonyi State. Therefore, he enjoys immunity, as provided for in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and, as a result, can’t be under probe while in office.

Those celebrating of the unwarranted attacks on our amiable and performing governor are celebrating in vain, as God who granted him this grace to serve his people will surely protect him from every visible and invisible attack.

Having said all these, let me reiterate that as law-abiding citizens, and very supportive of President Muhammadu Buhari’s fight against corruption, which is a major challenge to the development and emancipation of our nation, the Umahi’s administration will support the EFCC to the best of her abilities to carry out its statutory duties. Even so, we wish to appeal to them to follow due process and respect the rights of our people and not give in to the antics of politicians who do not see any good in our efforts to bring the dividends of democracy to our people.
For us in the present administration under Umahi, prudence and proper distribution of the scarce funds at our disposal is our hallmark; and we have no skeleton in our cupboard. Our doors are always open to the EFCC and any other organ of government to beam its searchlight on us at anytime.

To us, it makes no meaning that the EFCC could paste information on the properties they felt belonged to our governor, because we are convinced that at the end of the day both Umahi and his associates will be vindicated.

Umahi doesn’t need any distraction but support at this time to enable him focus on his mission and vision for Ebonyi State

The Governor’s reaction to those asking him to resign based on the EFCC’s visit suffices here: “my government will not be distracted from delivering democracy dividends to Ebonyians. These elements attacking me lack credibility in all fronts to have the moral justification to beam a searchlight on me and my administration as their past is full of corruptive tendencies.

I am happy that the public know that these elements have nothing positive to offer to our state bur are agents whose primary desire is to truncate the existing peace in our State and discredit my government.

The good thing is that the people of Ebonyi who gave their mandate to me to exercise on their behalf would “never allow agents of the devil to have their negative desires come to pass.

These desperate agents were those involved openly selling empowerment forms to unemployed youths of Ohaukwu LGA claiming that it was a Federal Government directive. The good thing is that my government had intervened by empowering over 4,500 unemployed youths and women of Ebonyi State and provided the sum of N250,000 to them to embark on business of their choice”.

Conclusion

finally, let me appeal to our people in Ebonyi and those in the Diaspora to continue to exercise faith in this administration, as we are determined to make a difference this time around, and to make our state a reference point in the annals of governance in Nigeria.
For those who are hell-bent on distracting the governor by cooking up lies against him, we appeal to them to exercise caution so that posterity will not be too harsh on them.

Fayose Cries Out, The Cabals Are At It Again – Justice Onnoghen May Not Be Nigeria’s Substantive CJN

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has raised the alarm over possibility of preventing Justice Walter Nkanu Onnoghen from becoming the substantive Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), saying his appointment as Acting CJN was “either a grand plot to deprive him of his well-deserved appointment as CJN because he is from the South-South region or those cabals in the Aso Rock Presidential Villa want to hold him in the jugular, using his confirmation as substantive CJN to get him to assist them to pervert justice.”

In a statement issued to NEWSFLASHNGR in Ado-Ekiti by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said it was strange that despite that the National Judicial Council (NJC) recommended only Justice Onnoghen to President Muhammadu Buhari for appointment as the CJN in line its rules, since October 13, 2018, his name was not sent to the Senate for confirmation.

The governor said that this is the first time Nigeria is having an acting CJN for the first time in its history despite that Justice Onnoghen’s name was sent to President Muhammadu Buhari early enough.He said; “As at the time the NJC recommended Justice Onnoghen to President Buhari, it was 28 clear days to the November 10, 2016 retirement date of Justice Mahmud Mohammed.

“Why then was his (Justice Onnoghen) name not sent to the Senate for confirmation? Why appointing him as Acting CJN when his name should have been sent to the Senate between October 13, 2016 that he was recommended to the president and November 10, 2016 that Justice Mahmud Mohammed retired?

“Obviously, there is more to this acting CJN appointment than meet the eyes and in my opinion, it could be that President Buhari never wanted Justice Onnoghen as a substantive CJN because he is from the South-South or that they want to use his pending appointment as substantive CJN to make him do their biddings.”

He lamented that “They have subdued the national assembly and are now in the last stage of muscling democracy by subduing the judiciary.

“If men of good conscience, especially leading lights in the legal profession refuse to raise their voices against this tyranny, they will all be consumed by the tyrant.”

Governor Fayose, who said playing politics with the judiciary, especially at the CJN level was dangerous to the survival of democracy, urged Justice Onnoghen to do his job without fear or favour, “bearing in mind that it is only God that put people in positions.”

“I am sure those who made sure Justice Onnoghen’s name was not sent to the Senate for confirmation until the tenure of Justice Mahmud Mohammed expired knew what they were doing. They obviously needed a situation where the CJN, being in acting capacity will be subservient to them, using his appointment as substantive CJN as bait.

“However, Justice Onnoghen must live above that temptation of wanting to be the substantive CJN at the expense of strict adherence to the rule of law and principles of democracy.

“He must resist any attempt to further gag the judiciary even if that will cost him his appointment as the substantive CJN,” the governor said.

Chidinma Okeke Cucumber S*X Scandal Is Getting Dicey: Heads Will Definitely Roll, Now See What DSS Is Currently Working On

Source>>>http://www.newsflashngr.com/index.php/2016/11/12/chidinma-okeke-cucumber-sx-scandal-getting-dicey-heads-will-definitely-roll-now-see-dss-currently-working-uche-nworah-replies/

Ladies and gentlemen,

Uche Nworah has just released a blurred contract document which Chidinma Okeke signed with ABS.
This is the same document he initially refused to release.

What Mr Nworah did say is why the contract was signed after Chidinma won the beauty contest.

Meanwhile, I am glad that DSS has stepped in. Chidinma Okeke has been interrogated by DSS. Uche Nworah has also told the DSS all he knows about the mess. Our own Aisha Edward has equally petitioned the DSS.

APGA Interactive Forum therefore urges the DSS to do just and prosecute anyone found culpable.
Here is what Uche Nworah stated as his position on the scandal.

Read below…

There is an Igbo saying that the more you repeat a lie, at some point people may begin to believe that it is the truth.

On this former Miss Anambra s3x scandal, the management of the Anambra Broadcasting Service had previously released a press statement disassociating the organisation from it. We still stand on that statement.

We have also made statements on the matter to the law enforcement authorities. We understand that Miss Chidinma Okeke has also made statements to the law enforcement authorities so we eagerly await their findings.

It is however important that I correct certain statements that are being made on this forum and in other fora especially concerning the interview Miss Chidinma Okeke granted the Nation newspaper today. There appears to be an agenda to push falsehood to the public and in so doing malign me and the Anambra Broadcasting Service over a matter that we know nothing about.

It appears that our silence over the matter, except the press statement we issued earlier is now being exploited by those who are bent on using the Miss Anambra s3x scandal to settle political scores in Anambra state.

It would also appear that Miss Chidinma Okeke has become a pawn in a larger politically motivated conspiracy.

The ABS as a socially responsible organisation fulfilled to the letter every part of the contract signed with Miss Chidinma Okeke, former Miss Anambra. This includes paying ALL her prize money of the sum of one million Naira only. This was paid in instalments in line with the contract.

An initial sum of N500, 000 was paid to her after she signed her contract and the balance of N500,000 was paid in N50,000 instalments over a 10 month period.

She collected her last installment of N50,000 on the 11th of October 2016, the day she handed over the crown to the organisers. We have records of her signing for all the payments. We had to take the measure of inviting the former Miss Anambra to the office on this date as that was the day an anonymous individual had forwarded the videos to myself and some other persons I do not know accusing the former queen of being a l.esb!ian.
The person said he was in possession of such similar videos numbering over 10 allegedly showing the former queen in l.esb!ian acts, as well as her friends in the l.esb!ian video performing s3xual acts with men. Details of these WhatsApp messages have been made available to the law enforcement authorities. We took this decision as we did not want the brand to be smeared with such a scandal as contained in Clause 1 of the contract.

After the handover of the crown by Miss Chidinma Okeke to the Miss Anambra project executives in the presence of the ABS management in the office of the ABS MD/CEO, I dismissed all the other members of the management with the exception of the ABS lawyer and one of the Miss Anambra project executives.

I went on to show Miss Chidinma Okeke the videos I had received that day from the anonymous individual and the messages from the person, I then asked her if she had any knowledge of the video and she said yes. I advised her to go home and confide in her family.

I have not seen nor spoken to her since that day as I do not know her whereabouts.

Miss Chidinma Okeke was not forced to sign the contract under duress as alleged, rather a certain Nwakonobi Ifeanyi who is married to her sister and acting as her guardian co-signed with her after they had taken the contract home, studied and consulted over it.

As a respectable pageant, we have certain rules and regulations guiding participation in the pageant and conduct of the queen during her reign. During her one year reign, we supported Miss Chidinma Okeke the very best way we could including sponsoring her to represent Nigeria in the Miss Intercontinental pageant which held in Frankfurt Germany in December 2015.

We sponsored her alongside one of the contestants who represented São Tomé. This was our way of creating opportunities for them and opening doors to international fame and modeling. Though not stated in the contract but we also secured a free unlimited one year business class return tickets to any destination in Nigeria for her and her chaperon from one of our airline sponsors.

There is no iota of truth in the allegation that ABS is blackmailing Chidinma Okeke over monies realised at her birthday party.

As our reigning queen, we organised a birthday party for her and used the occasion to present to the public her pet project.

The event was co-sponsored by her uncle who was also at the event alongside veteran Nollywood actor, Sir Obi Okoli who did not stay till the end.

Miss Chidinma Okeke and her uncle can testify that no money was realised at the event as it was not a fund raising. Rather, the guests that spoke encouraged her with words.

The Miss Anambra Beauty Pageant platform is indeed a wonderful one. There is nothing wrong with the pageant. We have had winners and participants on the platform who have gone on to do big things in their lives and modeling careers. The pageant is solely private sector funded.

The state government does not sponsor the pageant so please do not believe the false story that the Anambra state government spends millions of Naira sponsoring the pageant.

If you live in Awka or Anambra state, you will confirm that it is usually a big event which generates a lot of excitement and buzz. As an organisation, the pageant generates entertainment content and some revenue for the ABS.

From the audition to the final event itself, the contestants are treated with the highest respect, courtesy and dignity. They sign a document detailing dos and donts and pledge to be of good conduct and behaviour both during camp and during the reign of the eventual winner.

In the past, the organisers have had to dismiss some finalists from camp for misconduct, one for giving her number out to a hotel guest where they are camped and another for being rude to fellow contestants and the chaperon.

The pageant is judged to the highest standard. The judges are usually former acclaimed national beauty queens and showbiz personalities. The pageant overall is managed by a Pageant Creative Director who is a former Miss Nigeria. We take every care to ensure that we deliver a good show every year.

There are no preconditions of appearing in a s3x video to contest in the Miss Anambra pageant. We have had hundreds of contestants on the pageant and they can testify to that.

It makes no sense to try to blame the organisers over an act that is as a result of one’s folly and greed. If perhaps the said Miss Chidinma Okeke fell victim to conmen who tricked her into believing that she will win a beauty pageant if she appears in a s3x video, if she goes ahead and participates in the said video and the conmen turn around to blackmail her and extort money from her with the s3x video, how can I or the ABS be blamed for that? Did the other participants and contestants on the show suffer the same fate?

Regarding the issue of the Miss Anambra vehicle, in line with clause 10 of the contract, the vehicle is an official car which the organisers reserve the right to withdraw at the end of the queen’s reign. It does appear that the issue of the car is what concerns the former queen the most as statements to the media by her father, and even text messages to me and discussions from people from her camp suggest so but clearly as can be seen from the contract, the ABS acted as per contract signed.

It is obvious that those who have been at the forefront pushing this falsehood and allegation that I, Uche Nworah or the ABS has anything to do with this have ulterior motives.

In this day and age of social media, it is now easy for anybody to manufacture falsehood and post on social media for the unsuspecting public to read, like and share but in the end truth triumphs.

Miss Anambra Cucumber S*X Scandal: Is ABS Awka Using Miss Anambra Pageantry As Commercial S*X Venture? By Eneh Victor Chigozie

…can NBC step in now?

I have carefully read the interview granted by Miss Anambra 2015, Chidinam Okeke as published by the Nations Newspaper of today.

According to Chidinma Okeke, she alleged that ABS Awka the organizer of Anambra beauty pageant show turned her into a s*x slave?

Anambra Broadcasting Service, ABS Awka is a government agency which is regulated by the Nigeria Broadcasting Commission NBC.This allegation by Miss Anambra 2015 that a government agency turned her into a s*x slave involving a l.esb!ianism video which is punishable under the Nigerian anti g.ay law must be taken seriously.

The NBC has to step in to determine the culpability of ABS in this whole mess. If a cooperate organization like ABS could use its programme aimed at helping our young girls to discover their talent and showcase their beauty and turned it into commercial s*x money making venture either for the organization or for some members of the management, then the station has failed woefully and the regulatory agency (NBC) cannot keep quiet.

Those who used their offices and positions in ABS and turned the organization’s laudable programme for our young girls into outlawed s*x business must be fished out and justice serve on them.

Chidinma Okeke has done her part. We have condemned her in strongest terms. Her partners in crime against the state must face same justice. ABS Awka must react to Chidinma’s allegation against them. They must fire all their staff involved in this mess.
NBC must save the broadcasting sector from this embarrassment. The commission should probe ABS Awka.

Read What Chidinma Okeke Told Her Parents Lately

Meanwhile, Chidinma Okeke is an adult. Her parents should quit speaking for her. Let her talk or ever remain with the stigma and shame.

For dethroned Miss Anambra, Chidimma Blessing Okeke, it was perhaps a journey filled with thorns and snare. She may have had a tall dream of moving to the top through beauty contests but alas, her dreams have been cut short through the release of an obscene video where she was filmed n*de in a l.esb!ian act with another girl, Ada, who is alleged to be the third runner up in Miss Democracy contest, and her Personal Assistant.

It was gathered from Chidimma’s mother, Lady Nora Okeke that the former beauty queen performed the act under the influence of something which she could not ascertain. In her words, “As a mother watching the video broke my heart but I have stopped crying and committed everything into the hands of God who always fights my battle.

When I spoke with my daughter, I asked her what led her into such unholy act despite having brought her up in a godly way, she in tears said, ‘Mommy even if I did it, I didn’t know when it was done honestly, am surprised and confused. I don’t know what happened mommy’.”

Responding to the question of supporting their daughter to take part in the pageant, the mother said that “Chidimma had come home to say she was going to take part in the Miss Anambra Pageant and I discouraged her from it telling her to use her beauty for God.

She went back to school and returned again later to say she had been selected amongst the final contestants. I can never support any of my children to take part in any beauty pageant because we are a Christian family and don’t have liking for such things. Chidimma went into the pageant without our knowledge but she is a little girl and we cannot throw her away, she remains my little babe and the baby of the house. When she won, it was her sister that called up to tell us. She is my last child and she came seven years after my sixth child.

“Chidimma was simply p.*o.rn in the hands of both the organisers of Miss Anambra and her former manager hence things went awry when she decided to free herself from the bondage.

The entire controversy affected my daughter because when I went to see her, she had emaciated so much and not looking after herself at all, when I asked her why her hair was so scattered, she said, ‘Mommy leave that hair alone, that’s not my worry’. My prayer is that they will not kill my daughter.”

The smoke to the dethroning of Miss Anambra may have started building up when she decided to break away from the clutches of her manager who the family did not name. In an interview with Chidimma’s father, Sir Jeremiah Okeke, he said he didn’t want to dwell in the controversy anymore as the deed had already been done and cannot be reversed.

“I have embraced prayers and seeking the face of God and I know in no distant time he will expose the people behind all this. They have rubbished my daughter and my family name but my God will fight my battle, I trust Him and he has never failed me.

How can a beauty queen be borrowing money to pay her driver, where is it done? Why was the crown taken away from her three to five months before the due date for another queen to emerge? Why was I called and told to declare my daughter missing by the managing Director of ABS? A man does not say all that he has seen…leave that thing alone, God will expose the truth soon.

“This MD is neither known to me nor my wife. Then he calls me to suggest I declare my daughter missing? My response to him on the phone was; ‘you say I should declare my own daughter Chidimma missing? OK, I have heard you’ and I dropped the phone.”

Further details gathered from Chidimma’s father reveal that the dethroned queen was not even paid the full amount of N1 million which she won while she was made to share every penny she made while reigning as a beauty queen until she couldn’t contain it anymore and she was advised to take her complaints to the person who is currently managing her.
It was that tears of a drowning queen that made the current manager to move in to take control. The takeover it was alleged did not go down well with the former manager who called to query her on that move describing it as a wrong move to make.

How the Car Was Taken From Her

According to the embattled queen’s father, “Chidimma was with her elder sister when she was called to come to the ABS office with her car for a function only for her to return shortly in tears and the elder sister asked to know what happened, she said that ‘When she got to ABS, she was asked to hand over the keys of the car, which she did and before she left, she was shown a video of herself in an immoral act and she broke down in tears but was asked to leave.

God has finished the fight for me because I as an adult cannot even contain that kind of shock. It’s amazing how my daughter was able to leave that place and remained sane not to have thrown herself at an oncoming vehicle to die or commit suicide. Anybody that can do that kind of a thing does not mean well.

“I thank God that my daughter is recovering, I was with her yesterday (Monday 7th) though she is still in shock but it will all pass and I can’t wait for the truth to be exposed.”

Reacting to Chidimma’s father’s statement, the Managing Director of ABS, Nze Uche Nworah, denied ever calling the man on phone saying that he does not have access to the man’s number neither have they met.

He said, “That’s a lie, I never spoke with Chidimma’s father and I have never met him in person. I hope he is not confusing me with somebody else. The ABS management which is the management that is handling the Miss Anambra pageant has followed the binding contract to the latter.

If you can access Chidimma, ask her to show you the contract which she signed and her sister’s husband signed on behalf of the father. I never called her father at any time; I am not even supposed to be responding to what the man is saying but for the sake of clarity.”

When a call was put across to Chidimma’s father to react to Uche Nworah’s denial, he simply condemned the management’s uncaring attitude towards knowing who the beauty queen’s parents were.
Despite the many accusations and counter accusation, only Chidimma may for now hold the ace to unraveling the entire truth.

The popular thinking is that the act, which she took part in will remain a stigma shrouding her very essence but it is left for her to amend her ways and take the part of righteousness while absconding from fame. Her scandal is also a huge lesson for other youths who may be nursing the ambition of getting into pageants to learn to hold their integrity and follow the right part no matter the pressure.

For some people, Chidimma may have walked into her shame with her eyes open but without any inkling that she was programming her destruction while another group are of the opinion that she may have been drugged before the act only for the tape to be used as a way to hold her hostage and sway her around for the gains of her blackmailers.

However, another small circle are of the view that Chidimma should be made to serve a jail sentence as the nation’s constitution frowns at l.esbian!ism and g.a.y act.

It was gathered that her phone was taken away from her shortly after the video went viral to avoid being bombarded by the media with calls and in the process say what may come back to haunt her.

Until the truth is unearthed, it remains to be known if Chidimma, the dethroned Miss Anambra (2015) was a l.esb!ian, drugged to perform the act or if she performed the act out of her freewill perhaps because of the gains attached to it. For now she remains in hiding and only her parents can tell where she is.

The two-day journey through the very lonely tarred road to the small town of Ogboji to get the version of the parents, who are visibly distraught from the scandal, may have not come easy but it gives an insight into the root of the embattled beauty queen, a middle class, quiet and friendly family who believe in nothing but God.

For the father, “My family planned on keeping the news from me because I’m hypertensive but I was later told and it won’t kill me. I have seen worse things during my time in business, let God continue to fight my battle.”

We are compelled to renew the call to the Inspector General of Police to order that Miss Chidinma Okeke, currently embroiled in an unusual s*x scandal, inconsistent with the law, in a situation that entangles top Anambra State Government Officials and top members of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) should be taken into protective custody.

This reverb has become necessary against the background of emerging contradictions from the Anambra State Police Command on the matter.

While the Commissioner of Police reportedly did not provide security for Miss Okeke to address a scheduled press conference in Awka because of ‘too short a notice ‘ from the beauty queen’s ;lawyer, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state claimed ignorance of the entire incident.

And in reality, no action has been taken.

We recall that 21 demonstrators were arrested in Atani Headquarters of Ogbaru Local Government Area of the State, by the Police for claiming that they were h*mos*xuals and calling for the law outlawing their practice line to be repealed.

There is no reason why there should be two different laws for different sets of person on the same infraction.
Again we have expressed our reservations about The Nigerian Police being funded by State Governments, in favour of an outright State Police funded by states, taking care of State offences and a Federal Police funded by provisions in the Federal Budget for federal offences as status-provided.It is absolutely necessary to remind us that Anti-Ga.y Law is an act of the National Assembly.
The admix provides room for pollution and corruption which must be shunned at a time when Nigeria is brutally fighting the scourge of corruption across the nation.

We are convinced that the Police Command that could afford to demolish the houses of Anambra State citizens without a valid court order, based on the devilish collaboration of the government of the day, can also swing into action when issues come face to face with the law, no matter whose ox is gored, particularly when it involves, blackmail, indecent exposure, ho.m*s*xuality/l.es!bian!ism and threat to life to cover other crimes.

We urge action as failure to act on this score will create difficulties for acting in future in the same circumstances.
We invite APGA to show cause why the Anambra state community which is steep in ordered igbo tradition should not totally reject their existence for ife ani na aso nso ( deportable abomination), which has left our sanity, spirituality and culture and laws very badly polluted.

The unfocused party called APGA should say why their committed member who has gone everywhere in the state including the hallowed chambers of traditional rulers should indulge in such despicable conduct as such as an admonishment from the party, leaving many to speculate that it is actually part of the APGA plan to introduce a law allowing ho.m*s*xuality in Anambra State, just like it seeks to arm miscreants to carry guns in the name of an undefined ‘Operation’ targeted at the forthcoming gubernatorial elections.

Set to organise counter rally, says government funding rally with public funds

An organization, the Save Lagos Group has raised an alarm over a rally by some faceless persons being planned for the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

In a statement issued on Thursday by the Convener, Comrade Adeniyi A. Sulaiman and Director, Media and Strategy, Comrade Olaolu Oladipo, the Save Lagos Group alleged that the state government has earmarked a huge amount of public funds for the rally.

In the statement, the Save Lagos Group also called on the state government to come out clean on its role in the rally slated to hold in Lagos on Saturday, saying “Information available to us indicates
the state government has committed a huge amount of money for the rally.”

The civil society group also queried the rationale behind the rally, which it stated was not being done for the benefit of the masses of the state but rather to satisfy the ego of some prominent leaders of
the ruling APC.According to the statement, “We wonder what benefit would accrue to the people of the state from Saturday’s rally rather than the fact that it was organized to massage the ego of prominent leaders of the
APC.

“What is even more confounding to us is the fact that the money or resources to be deployed would be coming from the pool of taxes paid by the people of the state who would have loved to see such resources utilized for developmental purposes rather than what it is being
planned for by the state government.”

The Save Lagos Group has further called on the state government to desist from such attempt to fritter the state’s resources on the rally, which it describes as frivolous and self-serving, saying should the planners of the event go ahead with the rally it would organize its own counter rally.

“We of the Save Lagos Group are calling on the state government and the planners of the event to stop the rally, failure to do so would compel us to organise a counter rally to demonstrate that the motive of the organizers is far from being very altruistic.” The statement reads.

On its next moves should the rally goes ahead, Save Lagos Group also vowed to organize a counter rally of over 5 million residents to protest what it termed an assault to the collective wellbeing of the
people of the state.

“We will be compelled to call on residents of the state to a mass protest against attempt to loot their treasury by self serving politicians who don’t mean well for them and who are out to rob them
of their collective development.” Its reads.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has hailed the victory of the Republican Presidential candidate, Donald Trump in the United States of America (USA) election, describing it as “the beginning of a real change in Nigeria because those who imposed the present All Progressives Congress (APC) government on Nigerians just lost out.”

The governor said; “Now that Trump has won, it portends hope for Nigerians that the excesses of the President Muhammadu Buhari led federal government will stop as the road has ended for those who
conspired to impose Buhari on Nigerians.”

Reacting to Trump’s victory, Special Assistant to the Governor of Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka quoted the governor as saying in a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti on Wednesday that he believed that Trump will be able to tell President Buhari to respect rule of law and sit at home to solve the country’s economic problems instead of junketing around the world.
The governor said; “Trump presidency symbolises different things to different people and nations. It symbolises God at work and a clear departure from the old order.

“It is also a turning point for Nigeria and Nigerians, particularly those controlling the federal government that must have to change their ways as their allies who imposed them on us just lost out.

“Most importantly, President Barack Obama got what he did to Dr Goodluck Jonathan. God bless President-Elect Donald John Trump!”

Describing the conduct of the elections as a lesson for Nigerians, Governor Fayose said; “The US elections started and ended seamlessly.

The electoral umpire never meddled; the military, police and SSS did not provide cover for ballot snatchers. No printing of doggy result sheets. I think Prof Mahmood Yakubu and his INEC should learn from this for posterity. They should stop aiding unpopular politicians to rob the people of quality leadership.”

Speaking further, Governor Fayose said the election of Trump signals the hope of a possible defeat of the APC government foisted on Nigeria by the USA influence.

The governor said; “I prayed to God that if Trump will be the one to save us from this present state of hopelessness, God should give him victory. I prayed that God should let Trump wins so that another
change can begin in Nigeria. I am happy that God answered my prayers and gave Trump a resounding victory.

“I am also happy that God has humbled those who conspired to impose the present APC government that has brought hunger, suffering, abuse of human rights and destruction of the Electoral system on Nigeria and its people.”
