OSHIOMOLE BRANDED AS A DEITY, ACCUSED OF MEDDLING IN APC AFFAIRS



The biggest deity we have in the All Progressive Congress (APC) is Comrade Adams Oshiomole, so declared the Chairman League of Patriotic Lawyers Barrister Abubakar Yesufu.

Addressing Journalist at the departure hall of the Murtala Muhammad Airport in Lagos, last Wednesday, the activist lawyer did not mince words.  “There is absolutely no reason why Oshiomole should impose his authority on the Governor of Edo State” he declared.  “We had several deities in the past; leaders with cult-like followership such as late Chief Tony Anenih; late Samuel Ogbemudia; the iconic Sir Gabriel Igbinedion and now Adams Oshiomole has come on board”, he continued. 

“We can’t take it; we know he has concluded plans to deny Obaseki the ticket, just like he did to Ambode back in Lagos, but this time, he should tread cautiously”, he added. 

“Oshiomole is not the owner of Edo State; Oshiomole must know that we are in a democracy, not in autocratic, vindictive setting and so he must subject himself to the rule of law – and peace practice”, he concluded.

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...
