NO RIFT BETWEEN OSHIOMOLE AND OBASEKI SAYS PRINCE TONY MOMOH


Prince Tony Momoh, one time federal minister of Information, lawyer and renowned journalists has allayed any fears of rift between Comrade Adams Oshiomole and Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State. “You people are the ones creating the feud between the two leaders “, he declared. Speaking to our reporters during an interactive session, Prince Momoh described as sheer hubris the bitterly accusations and the gale of suspensions. “ Godwin Obaseki is the political leader of APC in Edo State by virtue of his being the Governor; while Comrade Adams Oshiomole is the National Chairman of APC; there is no issue here”, he stressed. “Adams has no business with who takes the party ticket or not; he is not the one to determine Obaseki’s fate”, he added. “Infact, Edo State APC should be looking for favors from Oshiomole at the national level, not to quarrel”, he said. “I don’t see any problem there; I have spoken to both leaders and they are very civil about the whole issue”, he further stated. Ask about the almost daily exchange of angry words, the veteran journalists explained that those were the handiwork of fifth columnists who strive to profit from non-existent brouhaha. He also said he is at odds to understand those calling Pastor Osaze Ize Iyamu names for decamping to APC describing it as “welcome back home”. Osaze was part and parcel of what APC is today having been there from the inception, so he is just coming back home”. On the part of the 14 renegade legislators who refused to go back to their posts, Prince Momoh said they are to blame for loss of their seats. “The constitution is clear on that: after 181 days consecutive absence you will lose your seat that’s simple”, he said. Now, the clerk of Edo State House Assembly has declared their seats vacant and written to INEC for a bye-election to be conducted. “If you want to fight the governor, you stood a better chance doing so from within and not outside. They were elected by the people to serve; now you can see the fate that has befallen them”, he concludes.

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.

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...
