 Politics / NDA Attack: Northern Elders Call On President Buhari To Sack NSA Mongono by Upritman(m): 11:52am On Aug 25, 2021 |
Northern Elders under the aegis of Coalition of Northern Elders for Peace and Development (CNEPD), have called on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately sack the National Security Adviser, Major General Babagana Monguno (Rtd) over the attack on the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA). The Group in a statement signed by its national coordinator, Engr. Zana Goni, also demanded for a review of the security architecture. The group blamed Tuesday’s morning attack by bandits on the NDA on the failure of Nigeria’s intelligence network. The organisation added that their demands are based on patriotism to the country, insisting that it was time for the President to do away with Monguno following the worsening insecurity in the country. According to the Coalition, the deteriorating security situation is a sign that Monguno, who manages the nation’s security was not on top of his game. The statement further berated stakeholders in the region over what the group described as “their long silence in the face of unbearable criminal acts by armed herdsmen and insecurity across the country ‘thereby giving a bad image of the region.” Source: https://www.politicshubng.com/nda-attack-northern-elders-call-on-president-buhari-to-sack-national-security-adviser/

| Politics / Former Bauchi State Governor Declares Interest For APC National Chairmanship by Upritman(m): 6:12am On Aug 13, 2021 |
A former governor of Bauchi State, Mallam Isa Yuguda, has joined other top political gladiators from the north to declare interest to contest for the national chairmanship of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. Yuguda, a one-time Minister of State for Transport disclosed this to newsmen on Thursday in Abuja. He said his decision to contest the number one job in the ruling party was premised on the fact that he understands power dynamism at the center has served as minister for six years and governor for eight years. Yuguda, who received executive members of Coalition of APC support groups who paid him a courtesy visit in his Abuja office, said he was not coming to warm the Chair as national chairman but to proffer quality solutions to resolve the lingering crisis and division in the party. The party chieftain assured that if he emerges as the national chairman of the party, he would ensure that justice and equity were entrenched in the party and would guarantee party supremacy, which he assured would help put an end to the various crisis rocking the party. “I felt I was strongly favored by the Almighty God who created us. I felt very strongly that rather than relegating myself to the bush where I am now to get a living to come back and offer myself because I know I have been favored.” Yuguda who had also served as a former minister of aviation, described Nigerian politics as ‘terrible’, noted that he was however very circumspect to return to the murky waters of Nigerian politics but decided to offer himself because he has been highly favored by God. He added, “I was privileged to serve in Nigeria for six years as Minister and eight as governor. I think I have served long enough in the Villa to know the dynamism in the power at the center. I’m the dullest person, at least I still have to offer something that will be meaningful. This is why I said let me give it a shot if it be, fine and good and if it doesn’t the Almighty Allah will not say you did not come out.” Speaking on behalf of the Coalition, Chairman Board of Trustees (BoT) of the Coalition, Mr. Tunde Imolehin, mooted that there was a need for the party to build a foundation that would make it sustainable. Imolehin who was a member of the APC national membership registration) revalidation committee for the Southwest maintained that Yuguda fall in the category of party leaders who can direct the affairs of the party, someone whom everybody would listen to any time he speaks due to his rich background and experience. “I believe we are here to begin a journey we will never regret, a journey that will be sustainable. A journey that will answer all the intrigues and all the challenges, all the misunderstandings and all the misconceptions that have happened since 2015,” Imolehin added. Politics Hub Nigeria reports that apart from Isa Yuguda, other politicians of northern extraction who had indicated an interest in the top job included former governor of Nasarawa State, Senator Umaru Tanko Al-makura, two former governors of Borno State Kashim Shettima and Ali Modu Sheriff; a former governor of Gombe, Danjuma Goje; former governor of Zamfara, Abdulaziz Yari; a former member of the House of Representatives from Bauchi, Ibrahim Baba; and a former chairman of the Action Congress of Nigeria in Abuja, Sunny Moniedafe from Adamawa State.

| Politics / Why We Postponed Our Congresses Indefinitely - APC by Upritman(m): 10:22am On Jul 11, 2021 |
The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, says her earlier scheduled congresses from ward, local government to State levels were postponed indefinitely to "cure a legal land mine". This was disclosed by Senator John Akpanudeodehe, who is the National Secretary of the APC Caretaker/Extraordinary National Convention Planning Committee. Politics Hub Nigeria recalls that a letter addressed to the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, had revealed the indefinite postponement of the Congresses. This postponement has also affected the possibility of holding the APC's National Convention in September. But Senator Akpanudeodehe said the postponement of the congresses was to ensure that the party remained on the side of the law by notifying the electoral body of its activities. The APC expressed shock at how the letter addressed to INEC was leaked to the general public. “The above document in circulation does not intend a postponement of the congresses. How it leaked from INEC is strange. “It is to cure the legal land mine occasioned by Section 85 of the Electoral Act on the issuance of 21 Days’ notice to INEC, bearing in mind that the earlier date we released was not sacrosanct,”Senator Akpanudeodehe said. Meanwhile some aggrieved APC members have alleged that the postponement is part of a grand plot by members of the Caretaker Committee to continue to remain in office for a long time. This has raised fears and tensions that these aggrieved members might soon drag the APC to court to vent their grievances.

| Health / 5 Key Things To Note When Buying Things That Might Affect Your Health by Upritman(m): 5:31pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
As a way of ensuring our survival as human beings we buy things everything that we either eat or use for other purposes. Importantly, almost all of those things bought have health implications that we must be cautious of. In this post, we will look at five things you must consider whenever you buy something. Negligence over these five key health concerns, exposes us to great health implications. These FIVE KEY HEALTH CONSIDERATIONS are as below: Expiry Date: Every product is expected to have both manufacturing and expiry dates. The manufacturing date is the particular date that the product was produced, while the expiry date is the date that the product is supposed to get bad or spoiled. Although, some products are expected to remain in good consumable condition few weeks or even months after the state stated on the product. However, for products that are easily perishable, avoid eating them if they have expired. Eating products that have expired poses serious health risks or dangers to the person. So how often do you check expiry dates on products before consuming the products? Packaging: This has to do with putting the product in a good and attractive physical condition. The packaging of any product has a way of influencing or pushing away its customers. Poor packaging of a product can lead to health risks or challenges for the buyers. The health, sanitary or hygienic conditions of the factory of manufacturer has a direct influence on the packaging of the product. Have you ever heard of people buying a drink and they claim that they saw a cockroach or any other insect inside the bottle? Or perhaps the common and most neglected one of someone buying a product and noticing that the packet is torn from where air enters the product and spoils the product? To buttress this point, some companies will always caution consumers against consuming the product if the seal has been removed or tampered with. This serves as a reminder to the importance of consuming goods that are only in the best packaging condition. NAFDAC Number: All foods and drugs consumed in Nigeria are supposed to be certified by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, NAFDAC. The easiest way of identifying products approved by NAFDAC is through the NAFDAC Number displayed on the body of the products. There are claims that the NAFDAC Number has been forged by some manufacturers to deceive the consuming public. However,NAFDAC has two means of solving this issue. One is through the use of Mobile Authentication Service (MAS) against counterfeiting and by checking if the product is in NAFDAC's Product Database. Consuming any manufactured product that is not approved by NAFDAC is a direct risk to your health. Producer's Details: All genuine products are supposed to have the details of the manufacturers written on it. The contact details should include the producer's name, office address, official phone numbers, and place of manufacturing. This is especially for feedback purposes which is supposed to serve the best interest of the buyer and help the manufacturer to improve its services or goods. Do you know the real name of the manufacturer of that your favourite product let alone their address or customer care contact number? If you value your health, then you should check that the products you are eating have these details. Nutritional Information: We buy and eat things because of the nutrients we expect to get for the nourishment of our bodies. Sadly enough, many persons buy products without a conscious knowledge of the nutritional table. This is a risky careless act that can affect your health. Your choice of any product should be based on the nutrients inherent in that product. For instance, it is nutritionally foolish for someone who wants to lose weight to be buying and eating products that are rich in carbohydrate, fat, calories and cholesterol. Also, always check the ingredients used in producing any product(s), so that you will know if it contains ingredients that are detrimental to your health.

| Politics / Niger Delta Militants Vow To Cripple Nigeria's Economy And Attack Politicians by Upritman(m): 2:19pm On Jun 26, 2021 |
Niger Delta Militants under the auspices of Niger Delta Avengers, has announced her return with a vow to cripple Nigeria's economy and attack politicians. The new decision was contained in a statement released on Saturday in which the militant group said it had launched ‘Operation Humble’ which is targeted at crippling the Nigerian economy. Niger Delta Avengers in the statement also threatened to attack politicians who are working with the Federal Government “to undermine the Niger Delta region”. It further expressed lost confidence in the Chief Edwin Clark-led Pan Niger Delta Forum (PANDEF), which played a critical role to make the group accept ceasefire in 2017 and vowed that ‘No oil installation will be spared’. Politics Hub Nigeria recalls that Niger Delta Avengers had launched attacks on oil installations when President Muhammadu Buhari was barely a year in office, forcing Nigeria into recession. The statement reads below: “There is no gainsaying that the failed country called Nigeria which has fed fat on our God-given wealth is at the brink of total disintegration, owing to the security and related challenges across the country; ranging from terrorism and banditry in the North, to the secessionist gongs of the Oduduwa people of the South-west and IPOB of the South-east it is obvious that peace in the Niger Delta, and by extension, the South-South geopolitical region is the very thin piece still binding this country together.” “It is disheartening that despite being the economic backbone and having resolved to maintain the peaceful environment for the smooth operations of the oil multinationals whose proceeds the country cling unto for economic survival, the Niger Delta and the South-South remain the most under developed, with our needs and interests undermined by the failed Nigerian State. “We decided to suspend our famous operation red economy‚ which bled the Nigerian economy into recession about 4 years ago not because we are lazy, but for the love we have for our people and out of respect for the voice of the elders of the Niger Delta region, who beckoned on us to give peace a chance and avail the government time to act on our demands at the time.” “In a move to remind this failed government that we have exhausted the very last iota of patience, the High Command of the Niger Delta Avengers have in a meeting held last night resolved as follows: “We have lost total confidence on all socio-cultural groups like PANDEF, the elders of Niger Delta and the bunch of so-called ex-agitators frolicking with the Government at our detriment. “This operation shall be coded ‘Operation Humble’‚ aimed at bringing down targeted oil installations in the Niger Delta Region, capable of humbling the economy into permanent recession. “This mission is also targeted at political actors who are collaborating with the Nigerian Government to undermine the interest of the Niger Delta people. “There is no doubt that the Nigerian Government has continued to pay deaf ears to our demands and the rising challenges in the country, because the pipelines that crisscross our lands are left untouched, allowing dollars to flow into the Federal treasury on a daily basis for, mismanagement. “We shall spare no single oil installation within our range of strategic targets marked for destruction in the coming days and we bet the Nigerian Government will be humbled to return to the drawing board and chart an all-inclusive course by the time we are done with our action plan. “Members of our strike teams across the Niger Delta are commanded to be on red alert, awaiting precise strike plans as mapped by the high command of the NDA.” (c) https://www.politicshubng.com/niger-delta-militants-vow-to-cripple-nigerias-economy-and-attack-politicians/

A former Minister of Sports under the Buhari administration, Barr. Solomon Dalung has listed three major problems of his former principal. Dalung who was not reappointed upon the reelection of President Buhari in 2019 listed his (Buhari's) major problems to include that: 1. He Has Refused To Change: According to Dalung, "Buhari has not changed. But Buhari is like an angel who is invited to dance in the mould and Nigerians expect him to return to heaven with a clean robe. Certainly, it would not happen". 2. He Is Over-Confident And Ignores His Operational Environment: Dalung also said: “The second problem of Buhari is that he believes so much on himself and insists on doing what is right. But he also does not believe that the environment upon which he operates is different from what he is. 3. He Is An Unfortunate Leader With Many People Around Him Who Have Reused To Help Him To Succeed: Dalung added the third thus; “The last problem is that Muhammadu Buhari is one of the most unfortunate leaders who meant well for the country but so many people who are supposed to help him succeed are just folding their arms watch him and say ‘do it let’s see!’ “And it is the ‘do it let’s see’ syndrome that has made the Buhari government subject of attacks from Nigerians…” Dalung listed these problems of President Buhari while speaking during the presentation of a book entitled ‘Buhari in Us’ written by Haruna Abdullahi at Army Resource Centre, Abuja on Tuesday. He said the only thing he owes President Buhari now is to tell him the truth always; "My covenant with him is to tell him whenever he is right and also whenever he is wrong", he concluded.

Gov Wike who stated these while speaking at the commissioning of the Isaiah Odol and Omerelu streets in GRA Phase I, PortHarcourt challenged the federal government to mention the projects executed in Rivers State since 2015. "There's no single Project done by the APC led federal government in any local government area in Rivers State. Across the 23 local government areas in Rivers State you won't find any federal government project done by this APC government. While they are building Standard Guage Rail Lines in other parts of Nigeria, the Narrow Guage they promised us, nothing is still happening till now. Even the Bonny-Bodo road they're supposed to do in partnership with NLNG, they're not fulfilling their own part of the partnership. And we all have less than 2 years in office. Tomorrow they will come again to make empty promises ahead of 2023, so if they come please ask them what they have done for the period they have been in power." Politics Hub Nigeria reports that the projects were commissioned by a former Senate President, David mark, who praised Gov Wike for his development strides in Rivers State describing him as the "Pride of the PDP".

The ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, has supported the ban on Twitter by the Nigerian government led by President Muhammadu Buhari. The APC also accused Twitter of supporting divisive views which threaten Nigeria’s sovereignty and national interest. In a statement signed by the party’s interim national secretary, John Akpanudoedehe, the APC said: “We are a democratic and independent nation, citizens should defend our sovereignty by supporting the federal government’s Twitter suspension. It is in our national interest.” The APC further encouraged Nigerian youths to see the ban as an opportunity for a homegrown social media network. “Russia has VKontakte (VK), China has Weibo, among several homegrown social media platforms. The APC believes that the country has the potentials and talents that can develop alternative and competitive applications to existing platforms in the world. Twitter’s suspension will undoubtedly serve as a positive trigger to unleash the creative potentials of Nigerians in the global digital space. “This is a challenge to our vibrant youths with such talents. They will get support in the exercise from relevant federal government agencies as well as the numerous Information and Communication Technology (ICT) training and research establishments in the country” the statement read in part.

According to Mr.Needam, the evil moves by Gov.Wike is aimed at justifying the demolition of his hotel, an action that received viral condemnation. He further called for the intervention of President Muhammadu Buhari and the Nigeria Centre For Disease Control, to safe the life of his hotel manager. The statement reads in part below: "I have it on good authority based on intelligent report reaching me today - 24th May 2020 that the manager of Prodest Hotel in Eleme, Dr. Bariledum Job Azoroh, who is a now a deliberate and sinister convict of the Rivers State Government and also a prisoner of the Rivers State Government has been framed up by an unorthodox hired medical officers recruited by Governor Wike with a report that he has tested positive to COVID-19 whilst in detention with the Rivers State Government. The illegal detention facility is in Stadium, Elekahia, Port Harcourt and the Federal Government has since kicked against all forms of illegal detention in Rivers State. The Administration of Governor Wike has no regard for rule of law and feelings for the poor masses. The Rivers State Government and Governor of Rivers State must be held liable for infecting my manager who is in their custody for over 15 days with COVID-19. He was a very healthy person before his arrest. It is therefore medically impossible that the infection occurred before his detention. It is a known fact that I and the Rivers State Government are at daggers drawn over demolition of my hotel. It is a beastial act for the same Government to convict my manager and now infect him with the novel Corona virus. It is also known that the object of the Governor is to kill my manager and his lawyer by conducting some unorthodox medical tracing to the lawyer. The manager is currently under pressure to take some unorthodox drugs that are non-compliant to the NCDC prescription and treatment procedures. Furthermore, the drugs have been prepared locally and it is a poison such that if used will kill the manager of Prodest hotel within 24 hours. The whole world should be aware that Governor Wike wants kill the manager to convince the public that infected persons were in the hotel all in attempt to justify his illegal demolition of the hotel on the 10th of May 2020. The society should therefore be concerned just as I am worried. This is an SOS call. The President of Nigeria should step in now to stop the murderous rage of the Governor of Rivers State. He should submit Dr. Bariledum Job Azoroh to NCDC in Abuja and stop all further acts in this matter. All concerned are by this advised to go into hiding until the President steps in . This situation requires the full implementation of a state of emergency in Rivers State." The Rivers State Government was yet to react to the allegations as at press time.

A former governorship aspirant of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Chief Blessing Agbomhere, says God has revealed to him who will be the next governor of Edo State. Chief Agbomhere said he got the revelation from God after praying for seven days at the mountain to seek the face of God on the political situation in Edo State. According to him, the person God showed him is the next Edo Governor is Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu. Speaking to newsmen in Bénin City after returning from the mountain, Chief Agbomhere said God promised to bring an end to all the sufferings in Edo through Pastor Ize-Iyamu. According to him: “For the past seven days I have been seeking the face of God in prayers on the mountain because of the sufferings and happenings in Edo State. “We are facing an election. We must be concerned about the present situation in Edo State. I went to the mountain of prayers to seek the face of God concerning Edo and its people. In my prayers and supplications, God revealed to me that the problems of Edo people will soon come to an end. “God said he will send us a leader who is passionate and concerned about Edo people. I see this leader day and night and all he is thinking about is how to unite Edo people for the development of Edo State. “God revealed to me that the next Edo Governor is Pastor Ize-Iyamu. I asked all Edo people to support the aspiration of Pastor Ize-Iyamu. “He will bring development to Edo State and to Edo people.

| Politics / Fear Grips Gov.wike Over Alleged Plot To Declare Emergency Rule In Rivers State by Upritman(m): 9:23am On May 20, 2020 |
Serious fears have enveloped the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, over an alleged plot by some forces in Abuja to instigate the Federal Government to declare a state of emergency in Rivers State. Gov.Wike raised the alarm in a statement signed by the Rivers State Commissioner for Information and Communications, Paulinus Nsirim on Tuesday night. "The Rivers State Government has uncovered plans by some citizens of the State who reside in Abuja to cause a breakdown of law and order in order to declare a State of Emergency," the statement read in part. According to the statement, this renewed attempt is coming after previous ones failed because of God's intervention. The statement further alleged that those behind the state of emergency plot are persons from Rivers State with 2023 political ambitions who want to use the Rivers State fight against COVID-19 to create a crisis as if the State is at war with the Federal Government. "These persons whose attempts to declare State of Emergency in the State since 2015 have never succeeded because of God's intervention. They did everything within their powers to ensure that the 2019 Governorship Election results were not announced but also failed. As the build up for the 2023 elections and jostle for Presidential and Vice-Presidential tickets is gathering momentum, they want to use COVID-19 to create a crisis as if the State is at war with the Federal Government. They have decided to create unnecessary tension as if indigenes of Ahoada, Eleme and Port Harcourt are fighting with Northerners not to carry out their legitimate businesses. People forget history quickly. Since 2015, there have farmers/herdsmen clashes in Nasarrawa, Plateau, Taraba, Ebonyi, Cross River, Kaduna, Yobe and Bornu States. Throughout this COVID-19 pandemic, States like Enugu, Lagos, Cross River, Akwa Ibom, Edo and Kaduna States have been intercepting lorries carrying human beings instead of foodstuffs. This is the same thing that the Rivers State Government is doing to protect the State from COVID-19." Gov.Wike lamented that instead of those He called "Abuja Politicians" to work with him for the good of Rivers People, they are plotting to acquire power through the backdoor. "Bandits have been killing innocent people in Sokoto, Katsina, Zamfara and Kaduna States and indigenes of these States no matter their political differences are working together to protect their States. But here in Rivers State, instead of supporting our efforts, these Abuja politicians are busy looking for a State of Emergency because they want to acquire power." Gov.Wike said while He is working hard to protect lives of the people against the Covid-19, some APC leaders in Rivers State are busy politicising the Covid-19 war. " Our fight against COVID-19 is to protect the lives of everyone living and doing business in the State. We are aware that some shameless politicians are playing politics with COVID-19. No wonder one of the respected chieftains of the All Progressives Congress (APC) had to expose their plan to use COVID-19 to launch into the politics of the State. This is what we see in the lives of ungodly, dangerous and power hungry people who claim to love the State. After their clandestine meetings they have voted huge sums of money to entice and recruit gullible persons to carry out their plan." The Governor urged Rivers People to resist the "Abuja Politicians" and their evil plots against the state adding that God will ensure they are defeated as usual. "All patriotic Rivers State indigenes are hereby placed on alert to resist the devilish plans of these unpatriotic elements who connive with enemies of the State to cause confusion. As a State, we have always defeated these sadists and with God on our side, we shall overcome them." Bittertruth Media recalls that Gov.Wike has been having series of unending loggerheads with the Federal Government and her agencies. The rivalry however seems to have intensified with the Covid-19 pandemic and the Rivers State's efforts to curtail its spread. Meanwhile, the Federal Government was yet to react to the allegation of plotting to declare an emergency rule in Rivers State.

| Politics / Amaechi Told Us Nyesom Wike Is A Cultist & Head Of Ogboni - Worgu Boms by Upritman(m): 9:53am On May 19, 2020 |
Worgu Boms, a former Rivers State Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice has alleged that the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi told him alongside some close associates that the now Governor of Rivers State is a Cultist and Head of the Ogboni Secret Society. In an article titled 'The Allegory Of A Big Small Boy And A Small Bigman', the former Commissioner during the Rotimi Amaechi administration in Rivers State accused Mr.Amaechi of previously using Senator Andrew Uchendu to seek peace with Mr.Wike and declaring him as A Leader but has turned around to use his other associates to condemn the Governor's fight against Covid-19 and his palliatives now. He said: "After you told us Nyesom Wike is a cultist and head of Ogboni and put it on ring tones and we followed, you now go back to call him leader after he won you, When he refused you, you Now waited for Convid-19 to Inspire us to renew the way you want us to see the same Wike." "After all that, you now hide under COVID-19 pandemic fight, which the whole world is battling, and begin to speak tongue in cheek and use microscope to find Wike errors while saying nothing about other Governors who are doing exactly the same thing as Wike, infact, you dine with them publicly, you expect the public not to be amused." Worgu Boms also narrated how Mr.Amaechi underrated Mr.Wike ahead of the 2015 Governorship Election describing him as a "Small Boy". "Wike is a small boy". "This is the First and last time.... ", boasted the then Governor Amaechi in a Thanksgiving Church Service at St Emmanuel Anglican church, Rumuokoro, presided over by Bishop Carthy ' "...that I will talk about my Former Chief of Staff in public. He is a small boy..." This public boast that 'Wike is a small boy' has been told us (insiders) every now and again, especially when issues for discussion and tackling are raised on how to tackle Wike. 'Wike is a small boy, Why are you people worried'?, Barr.Boms recalled. On how the Small Boy Wike turned into a Big Man and rained unending political troubles on the Big Man Amaechi, Mr. Boms said: "And the small boy started winning by running the big Man first, out of the party and later out of Government House! The small boy almost succeeded, nearly, in truncating the completion of the so-called Bigman's second tenure. WE were all here and we all saw it. The Bigman and all those who were serving in his Government were all gasping for air everyday from this small boy attacks on the Bigman's Government! The small boy almost sacked the BigMan from his government: the legislative arm of the Big Man's government never sat properly throughout the remainder of the Bigman's government. If the judiciary arm of the Bigman's government had opened for even a full 24 hours, the so-called Bigman's government would have been effectively sacked. So, that too, was, like the Bigman's legislative arm, Never functioned. The Small man restricted the so-called Bigman and his government to just Government House, gasping for air and biding his time for his tenure to come to a Constitutional end which it did on May 29, 2015, unceremoniously, with heavy political casualties all from the person publicly described as small boy! Some of us were just looking, wondering When the BigMan will upturn the small Boy!" The former associate of Mr.Amaechi blamed Him for all the problems that have befallen the Rivers State APC under his leadership and cautioned him against shifting unnecessary blames to Gov.Wike. Mr.Boms urged the Minister to be serious, sincere and rebuild the Rivers State Chapter of the APC. "APC Rivers under Rt Hon Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi CON made Gov. Wike through pride and arrogance for power to maximally control Rivers people for as long as the power mongers are able. That's the Truth. Leave Gov. Wike alone. He did not destroy APC Rivers. Rebuild APC Rivers before you can be taken seriously. Wike is NOT our problem. The mindset that sees the APC as personal property is the problem. When we are serious and sincere as politicians or as a political party, you yourself will know", Mr.Boms concluded. It may interest you to note that Barr.Boms belongs to the Senator Magnus Abe faction of the APC in Rivers State and was the Director-General of Senator Abe's governorship campaign organization, Freedom House. Bittertruth Media recalls that it was the grievances of the Abe faction that sprung up litigatons that denied Rivers State APC a chance to be on the ballot papers during the 2019 General Elections and the continued legal cases filed by the faction have prevented the party from having its executives in Rivers State till now.
