RIVER STATE CRISIS: TINUBU HAS ACTED WISELY-Gbemre

Admin

By Zik Gbemre   Should President Bola Ahmed Tinubu allow the oil rich River state to burn to ashes before acting? No. A solution must be reached to calm nerves. I said few days ago that I didn’t pity Governor Siminalayi Fubara because he allowed self to be used. He enjoyed the political game when Nyesom Wike catapulted him to become Accountant General and then imposed him on PDP to grab the governorship ticket even when he was not a card carrying member of PDP.

Admin

  By Jeckins Ejiro Wisike   The suppression of entitlements and benefits of the Ughelli North Local Government Council Legislature Arm by the Executive is a clear violation of democratic principles and a blatant disregard for constitutional responsibilities. The denial of operational vehicles to the elected Councillors—who represent the people—undermines their ability to effectively perform their legislative duties. It is unjust and undemocratic for the Executive Arm to withhold these entitlements, which are essential for the proper functioning of the Local Government system.

DELTA APC AND LESSONS FROM UGHELLI SHOW OF SHAME

Admin

By Kennedy Bienose   By now, it should be crystal clear to all students of politics, especially unbiased members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, that the Leadership Council (by the way, this unconstitutional political contraption would have been inaugurated by now if not for the swift decisive intervention of the National Working Committee) being proposed by some leaders as panacea for peace and unity among stakeholders of the Party is decidedly skewed against one target: Sen. Ovie Omo-Agege, former Deputy President of the Senate and gubernatorial…
