EL-RUFAI REMEMBERED AS FCT INFRASTRUCTURE


The El-Rufai phenomena is refusing to die down in Abuja, the Federal Capital.  The reason is simple: residents are fed up with the unwholesome and growing destruction of the City by an inexplicable gale of maladministration, acute dereliction of duty by all those who came after El-Rufai-- be it in the FCDA, AMAC, or Federal level.

As a result, Residents watch in absolute amazement the reckless breakdown of vital state assets, particularly access roads, bridges, resulting in stretches of traffic gridlock.  “What we are facing in Abuja today is unusual”, said Alhaji Ibrahim Umar.  “Those in authorities are so careless, it is surprising this is the City El-Rufai let behind”, he lamented.

Any visitor arriving the City of Abuja for the first time would be starkly disappointed that the structures put in place by the resilient El-Rufai are now systematically destroyed.  “El-Rufai built this City; El-Rufai set up access roads, added Fillip to recreation”, observed Umar.  “But today where are we?  Those in charge are virtually sleeping”, he said.  This is sad and frustrating.

Now Abuja residents spend grueling hours going to work.  Returning home is even worse.  “It’s like hell and you keep wondering where in heaven sake has our conscience gone?” one resident lamented.  These people struggle to get into office, and after that, they go to sleep because there is never any punishment for indolence. “The fact is, there is so much indiscipline going on; and it is regrettable”, Umar claims.

WORSHIPPERS THRONG TO KUJE FOR BISHOP DAVID EDOBOR (ANGEL 1)

Kuje, a suburb in the capital city of Abuja is witnessing an unusual traffic: hundreds of worshippers are seen trooping to stadium road in Kuje where Bishop David Edobor, General Overseer of the Joshua Generation Church is blazing the trail, performing spiritual feats, healing, delivering and restoring damaged destinies. The young General Overseer popularly known as “mathematical prophetic” “accuracy bazooka” has declared repeatedly: ‘you can doubt my prophesies, but you cannot doubt the outcome!” Preaching last Sunday, 16 th September, the cleric disclosed that the examination of life has no timetable unlike that of common exams. He said that is the reason why worshippers must not toy with their destiny background-and where they come from. Bishop Edobor has restored many destinies and not a few people have had breakthroughs in marriage, travel overseas, employment, healing, etc. The Edo State born man of God has been variously described as “small oyedepo” from the way he prea...

The Independent Corrupt Practice and Other Related Matters Offences Commission (ICPC) were set as an anti-corruption agency to rein in persons involved in suspected shady deals and sharp practices. But in recent times as investigations have revealed The commission appears to have derailed as it is fast losing that tag as an anti-corruption agency.  Preliminary investigations have unearthed some sharp practices of illegal detentions on spurious charges, unauthorized raid and sealing of victims houses and unwarranted blockages of victim’s accounts. “This bad practice must be discontinued” declared Mr Rafiu Ibrahim, Secretary-General of Association for Good Governance and Transparency (AFGT). Throwing more light on the sad development, the Secretary-General wondered why the ICPC would detain without charges any suspected Nigerian for upwards of two weeks without proceeding to court, while systematically extorting various sums of money from the detained Nigerian.  The Secretary-Ge...
