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.

BISHOP DAVID ANGEL, A.K.A. BAZOOKA, BRINGS RELIEF TO TROUBLED FAMILIES IN KETTI

. The Bishop is young, vibrant and full of vitality; once he mounts the Altar, let’s say 10.oclock in the morning, he hardly gets down till hours later; he conducts Service with consummate passion, enthusiasm and rapt attention to minute details; he quotes the scriptures eloquently, sings to the admiration of the worshippers and preaches with fiery candor that reminds you of the inimitable father of prosperity.. Bishop David Oyedepo! What a coincidence, the younger and the old bear the same name! What follows next follows next is prophesy, prophesy upon prophesy! He says “if there is a man to pray there is a God to answer”! Not done, the young powerful man of God is angry: “This error must be corrected”, he charges when service gets hotter. The “error” he is talking about are legion: protracted barrenness, stagnation, limitation, unexplained difficulties, poverty and a life of non achievement! Many of the worshipers are those who are tired having visited several churches and Pastors...

RAPE SAGA: FATOYINBO IN THE CLEAR?

Two months after Busola Dakolo’s rape claim against Mr. Biodun Fatoyinbo, Senior Pastor of the Commonwealth of Zion Church (COZA) cracks have begun to appear.   When the accusation first broke out in June, the backlash against the stylish COZA lead Pastor was so intense that it snowballed into frenzied demonstration by aggrieved Church members who subsequently barricaded the entrance to both Lagos and Abuja Church premises.   It did not take long for him to succumb to one of their demands to step down from the pulpit. But then reporters attached to Newspaperman went to town and began a discreet investigation into the affair.   First, the team discovered a “loophole” in Busola’s claim of being raped “ repeatedly ”, noting that the same person cannot be “raped” repeatedly, unless there must have been some sort of 'consent", “collaboration” or “cooperation” in place; something like a paddy paddy affair. Secondly, Fatoyinbo must have been extremely “crazy”, “r...
