The Association of Drivers of Dangote Cement Transport, Obajana in Kogi State has directed all its members to boycott the transportation of cement to the South-East region of Nigeria.

The association said the decision was taken over the security situation in the region and in Akwa Ibom state in the South-South region.


A memo dated December 11, 2022, and sent by the drivers’ association to the company, said, “We kindly write this short notice to the company that we are returning some waybills of the southeast state Nigeria that we driver (sic) are not going to some part (sic) of southeast Nigeria due to ongoing situation of the site Nigeria those part (sic) of southeast they are as follows: 1. Enugu, 2. Anambra, 3. Abia, 4. Imo, 5. Ebonyi, 6. Akwa Ibom.”

Criminals enforcing sit-at-home orders in the South-East have in the past burnt trucks belonging to Dangote Cement and reportedly killed some of the company’s drivers.

This comes a few days after the leadership of some Northern groups involved in commercial activities between the North and South-East zone directed commodity traders and truck drivers to shun the zone over the incessant killing of their members by gunmen suspected to be members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).


Coordinator of the Northern Consensus Forum, Dr Auwal Abdullahi Aliyu said they declared a warning strike due to the constant killing of the northerners in the South East, adding that not less than 100 northerners were murdered in the zone within a week.

Aliyu claimed that the strike had started to have a good effect and that security agencies, northern state governors, and residents in the impacted zone had all been informed.

“We have blocked the roads linking the North to the East ranging from Benue, Nasarawa, Kwara and Plateau states among others, and the truck drivers are cooperating with us,” he had said.

SaharaReporters earlier reported how gunmen enforcing a purported five-day sit-at-home order in Enugu State attacked and burnt a police patrol vehicle in the New Market area last Saturday.

It was also reported that some supporters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) were also killed by gunmen for defying a kangaroo sit-at-home order in Anambra recently

Hahaha. To avoid another disgrace, Obi is now using Psquare to attract crowd. What a shame. P square is now a presidential candidate to also appear in Obi's banner or invitation card.

femisplash:
Be like Obiidiots leg don heavy dem to dey waka for rally again.. Oh, I almost forgot, awon oga at the top don dey kolobi mobilization donations.

They have resorted to Psquare to boost crowd in their rallies.

Obidient4life2:
I doubt if it's fake. His last tweet was on 13th December. Ekpa doesn't miss to tweet daily.

He was banned by twitter. But nobody arrested him.

Obidient4life2:
I have told the idiot severally that he will be arrested! Will you lose the good will of the people you become weak to institutions of power. The idiot loves power but doesn't understand how to use it.
I told him that he is joking with Obi, but he called it bluff! Obi has legit connect internationally more than any of the candidates contesting and I knew this is exactly how Simon Ekpa will end!

Please, it is a fake news. Nobody arrested him.

Watch out his presidential campaign in Kano and other Northwest

Is it only in Kano he is campaigning

IlovePMB:
The ekperima was arrested by international police while trying to run to Israel.

Let him go and face the consequences of his foolishness.

Fake news

clemzo101:
did you not hear how he borrowed money immediately after losing the election?

Do you read out all. It was money given to all States by the federal government.

Willie2015:
There should be a start date for these loans...
So we know the administration that received these loans

Very simple matter. You cannot publish termination dates without stating starting dates. It is mischievous

press9jatv:
This is fact and evidence here

Can you also publish when those loans were taken? It will help us understand what is happening

clemzo101:
did Oyetola complain about Aregbesola? No. So don't come today telling us aregbesola caused it. It is good adeleke is letting everyone know what's up.

Did you not read his hand over notes? He clearly said he did not borrow a kobo during his 4 years. That all the debts are the ones he inherited.

The debts are the ones left by Aregbesola. The rascality of that man finished Osun.

4teenblaq:
Labour Party campaign in Kogi is far much better than this considering the fact that Atiku and his Team have pull out a lot of funds for people to attend this rally.

It is a lie

OP, what is there to watch?

You can see an igbo man at the end who just called the students to come take picture with the banner.

The two biggest mistake Peter made is the choice of Doyin Okupe as campaign director and Datti Ahmed as VP. Peter is doing all the work alone.

OP, you failed to mention that this office was commissioned immediately after he left the campaign rally. That place is the hospital he went to.

They started one million match and we no hear. Now their game is over and crowd is no loner needed.

Watch the video of the rally below.

, I hope you have picture of the rally you captured by 6am to show us an empty stadium?

Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday, suffered a gaffe while speaking at the party’s campaign rally in Plateau state.

The rally was held at the Rwang Pam township stadium in Jos, the Plateau capital.

Atiku, while concluding his speech in Hausa, said: “For God’s sake and for the value of this place, ensure that you vote for A… I mean PDP this time around”.

The PDP candidate also promised his supporters in Plateau that if the party is elected in the 2023 elections, peace will return to the state.



“Yesterday, when we finished with Nasarawa successfully, I was told ‘let’s go back to Abuja’, and I said I won’t go back to Abuja because here is also my home and I have a house here. We came and slept in it,” he said.

“What I want you to understand is that we’ve made a promise that if you vote for PDP, which I’m sure you would, we promise to bring back peace in Plateau.

“We will bring development in Plateau, especially for the youths who are the ones I’m seeing here mostly. All of you, men and women, we will ensure that we boost the economy of Plateau state so that jobs and business opportunities will be

“This is a promise we have made to you. Also, most of your roads, we are aware of their bad condition because the government of the APC hasn’t done anything about it for the past eight years. We promise to fix the roads.

“Therefore, people of Plateau, this place has its history. In this place, we voted MKO Abiola; in this place, we voted Olusegun Obasanjo; we voted for different presidents in this place.”

Abubakar, who had earlier defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), had rejoined the PDP in December 2017.

Meanwhile, the PDP presidential candidate’s gaffe comes weeks after a similar incident involving Bola Tinubu of the APC, which also occurred at the same stadium.



While addressing supporters at the Plateau rally, Tinubu, APC presidential candidate, had said “God bless PD… APC”.

Interestingly, Tinubu’s gaffe also occurred on a Tuesday.

socialmediaman:
PM News Nigeria owned by Bayo Onanuga, APC Spokesperson and Buhari political appointee?

Can't see the video? He doctored the crowd?

Workch:
the picture is a propaganda. It was taking before the begining of the rally.

Believe APC at your peril

It was not. We saw the video when Obi was speaking. It was a poor outing. And even the one when he arrived

I will advise Obi to concentrate in the southern states to avoid this kind of disgrace. As he campaigns up north, it will be worse.

OLADD:
You're just insane. The pics I posted were picked real time on a live TV. Do you ever have any iota of shame in lying at all. Spits.

Are you not making a fool of yourself here?

garfield1:
