Some PDP govs ganged up against southern presidency – Wike

 Nyesom Wike2

  • Says North will no longer underrate South

The Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, has said some Peoples Democratic Party governors ganged up with some vested interest groups to derail the quest of southern Nigeria to produce the next president of Nigeria.

He said it was the agreement of the governors of southern Nigeria that the presidency should come to the South, and he did not betray that agreement.

Wike made the explanation at a grand reception organised by the Rivers people on Monday in Port Harcourt to welcome him back from Abuja after the PDP presidential primary.

Wike, in a statement by his media aide, Kelvin Ebiri, issued in Port Harcourt, described as shameful, the inability of some of those who were part of the agreement to stick to the agreement when it matter


The Rivers State Governor accused them of selling out and frustrating the collective efforts that would have secured the PDP presidential ticket by him for the South.

The statement read, “I contested in an election (primary) based on the principle and agreement with all southern governors and leaders of the South that presidency should go to the South this period.

“We have done our part. We never betrayed anybody because it is not in our blood to betray. But it is a shame to those people, some of the governors from the South, they are the people that were used to sabotage our course.”

Governor Wike said it was disheartening that some governors from the South, due to their inordinate ambition, could jettison the collective interest of the people they claimed to represent.

“Look at a region ganged up, then you, your region cannot gang up. You became tools to be used against the interest of your people, and you think you have won, you have lost.

“You will continue to be perpetual slaves. Rivers people, you don’t need to bother yourselves. The PDP needs us. If they say they don’t need us, they should wait,” he added.

The governor explained that he was propelled into the race to offer service and advance the interest of Nigeria, adding that in the process, he was confronted by a few individuals who wanted somebody they would control and he declined to be such a puppet.

“The winner (of the ticket) also saw it. They underrated us, but now, they will not underrate us again. We have all it takes to do whatever we want to do.

“It is a matter of you being firm, it is a matter of you being hopeful. There is nobody that is born greater than us in this country, therefore, we cannot answer second-class citizen. We can’t.

“We just used this one to tell them that enough is enough. We made them not sleep. We made them not eat. We made all of them from wherever they said they come from to know that there is somebody who can take them on.

“This country does not belong to one particular zone. If people are afraid of talking it is their business. I cannot be a second-class citizen in my country.


“Some of them, their in-laws are governors in the ruling party, but they want to interfere in what happens in the PDP. Some of them, their brothers are governors in the ruling party and they want to interfere in the PDP,” he added.

Governor Wike said with the presidential primary over, and given his pledge to work for whoever emerged, Rivers State would work to deliver the PDP and all its candidates in the 2023 general election.

The governor recalled that in 2019, despite the failure of the candidate he supported to clinch the ticket, Rivers State gave PDP massive votes and refused to negotiate with the All Progressives Congress to give them 25 percent votes.

“In 2019, I was the only governor from the South-South who never negotiated with the present government. They came, I said no, I was not going to be a party to that. And that is why APC never had 25 percent in this State (Rivers).

But, in all the other States in the South-South, the president got 35 percent to 40 percent. I said I was not going to sit down with them and negotiate.”

Governor Wike said he has even told the winner of the PDP presidential primary, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, that most of those hanging around him do not have electoral value.

He pointed out it would be imperative for such people from states, whether in the North or South, to deliver the kind of votes that Rivers State will deliver in the 2023 general election in order for the PDP to win the presidency.

Governor Wike said it was wrong for the party to have allowed the governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal, to speak for a second time after the time allotted to each of the aspirants to address the delegates.

The Speaker, Rivers State House of Assembly, Ikuinyi-Owaji Ibani, in his remarks, described the governor as an emancipator, who had solved a particular nagging problem in Nigeria, saying that was the issue of minority question.

The Chairman, PDP Rivers State, Ambassador Desmond Akawor, commended Governor Wike for his resilience and that the entire state and the Niger Delta were happy that he spoke for them.

Speaking on behalf of Rivers elders, former president, Nigerian Bar Association, Onueze Okocha (SAN), observed that Governor Wike contested the PDP presidential primary because he was motivated by his desire to serve the country and bring back the PDP to governance in Nigeria.

“You have done us proud. You’ve done Rivers State proud. You’ve done the country, the teeming masses of those who are yearning for capable leadership, you’ve done them proud. And they will continue to believe in you, they will continue to place their hope in you,” Okocha stated.

''He swore over a hard copy of the Bible that he will kill me and my parents- wife of Akwa Ibom politician, Robinson Uwak, accuses him of domestic violence and threat to life

 


Kezia Irek, the wife of a politician in Akwa Ibom state, Hon. Robinson Uwak, has called him out for allegedly abusing her physically and threatening to kill her and her parents.

 

In a post shared on her Facebook page, Kezia stated that she got married to Uwak after he claimed he had finalized his divorce proceedings with his first wife. She said trouble started when she decided to end their marriage when she found out that he had not fully divorced his first wife. She accused Uwak of pulling a machete at her and threatening to kill her and her parents. She also mentioned that he vowed to flee to the US and send kidnappers to her so they can kill her and her parents.

 

She mentioned that Uwak said he will never allow another woman walk out of his life after his first wife did. She claimed he vowed he will never allow her to have custody of their children.

 

Posting photos of her injured body on her page, the distraught wife wrote

 

''HON. ROBINSON UWAK STRANGLED ME and ATTEMPTED to kill me when HE FOUND OUT I WAS TRYING to leave the marriage & he did this right in the room where my children were asleep.*

*He kicked my parents out of his house at 2AM after he put a machete to my mom’s neck and kicked her twice to the ground causing her to injure herself and break her phone.*

*He lied to me that he was not married to his ex wife anymore- that he was divorced.*

He is now threatening to kill me and my parents for me leaving him.

I have Pictures, Videos & Audio evidence.

I got married to him after he deceived my family and I that he was divorced from his ex wife. Stating that his marriage was annulled because it didn’t legally exist- this was a lie. He deceived my family and I into being married to him.

I sit here in terrible pains from my head to my toes after I was terribly battered by my so called “husband” while he accused me of unfounded and blatant lies. My neck is swollen and hurts- I can’t swallow well- from how he tied my neck with the nape of what I was wearing and used both hands to strangle me telling me he will “kill me and go to jail.” He used his feet to stomp on my chest with all of his might and I have severe chest pains & aches. He slapped and pounded my skull with his fists so many times- hitting my head hard against the tiles in his room over and over while my children slept in the next room.

On the 27th of May around 8AM, He charged into my room where I sleep with my twins and started to accuse me falsely. Before I could open my mouth to even understand what was happening, he flung me on the floor and began to strangle me. I was screaming. I was horrified. He then told me to move to his room- next door- he locked all the windows and doors & commanded me sit on the floor & then proceeded to tell me that I can never leave the marriage- and break up his home- he said will kill my family and I. He said he is ready to commit murder. He said it doesn’t matter how long it takes, 5-10-15-20 years, that he will find my parents and I and kill us. He will use N50 million, even N100 million to send kidnappers and killers to end my life and that of my parents. He said I cannot embarrass him maritaly a second time.

That he only let his first wife go because she didn’t have kids. But he will kill me before I leave him. And that I cannot have custody of his kids. He said I will always look over my shoulder in this country for the rest of my life. and that he will leave to the U.S and pay people here in Nigeria to kill me and my parents. He swore over and over on a hard copy of the Bible that he will kill me & my parents.

He claims he uses the services of the SSS to track the phones of people in my life against their wills. Please his friends in DSS & SSS need to be investigated.

He threatens my friends and family at any provocation.

I found out he is still in a divorce tussle with his ex wife and I began to make moves with my lawyer on how to leave the marriage because it means my marriage to him is void & he’s committing bigamy.

He is lying that I’m interested in his property- and I want to kill him for his money- how is that possible when I’m trying to get the marriage declared void?-

I only want my kids and I’m not interested in the marriage again.

He said Nigeria is a lawless country and nothing can happen to him and even if I tell anyone all his threats, no one will believe me because I have no proof. But I have audio recordings of him saying this.

In January he put a machete to my mom’s neck and kicked her down twice to the coal tar in his estate- injuring her. That day, he kicked my mom & dad out of his house because I didn’t make noodles & eggs for him at 2am in the morning. He made me stand outside the house in the cold at 2AM like an animal for not making food.

The truth of his wickedness to me and my family are too many and horribly frightening! We have been living a nightmare! Please my life and the lives of my parents are in danger. I just want to live with my kids peacefully without the threat of death hanging over me. I didn’t do wrong to marry this man. My family didn’t do wrong to accept & believe him.

I have pictures, audios and videos of all I’m saying. I am tired of living in fear. I’m tired of being silent. My aged parents do not deserve this. They didn’t do wrong by allowing me marry him. They don’t deserve to die because they allowed me to marry him.

He said Nigeria is lawless & there is no law and order in Nigeria.

He said he will wait for the police, army and NAPTIP to be tired of my case- then he will kill me & my parents.

Please I’m appealing for help! International NGOs, Nigerian Government-please help! My family and I are in danger!''

Couple mistakenly livestreams 45-minute of their sex session to synagogue via Zoom

A couple unknowingly live-streamed their steamy sex session via Zoom to a synagogue for around 45 minutes as people watched.

 

The middle-aged couple had joined a virtual synagogue hosted by the Twin Cities' Temple Beth El in Minneapolis, USA, on May 14, when they decided to have sex, not realising their camera was still on.

 

It has been reported the couple continued in the act until they saw a private chat begging them to stop.

One horrified onlooker told the New York Post that the couple carried on for about 45 minutes, with the woman walking around naked, going in and out of the Zoom frame.

 

They added: "He was in the bed, he whipped it out, she started going to work.'

 

"Someone on the Zoom saw and called her and was like, ‘WTF are you doing? You’re on camera.’ She freaked out.

 

"It was a Zoom for a bat mitzvah. Most people were not on camera except like, the old bubbes … who don’t know how to turn off their camera, and these two people.

 

"So the boxes were pretty big and everyone could see who was on camera."

EFCC moves Okorocha to court to face N2.9B corruption charges

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has brought the former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha before a Federal High Court in Abuja for arraignment over N2.9B corruption charges.

 

Okorocha, who is currently a Senator representing Imo West in the National Assembly, is to face trial alongside six others in N2.9 billion money laundering criminal charges.

 

The Senator is being put on trial by the Federal Government on 17-count charges involving criminal diversion of public funds and properties.

 

EFCC operatives drove Okorocha to the court premises with heavy security at about 8:45 a.m. today, May 30, and led him to the courtroom.

God does not create babies, men and women do - Nigerian Pastor

 

God does not create babies, men and women do - Nigerian Pastor

A Nigerian Pastor, Oge C. Ogwe has stated that God does not create babies. 

 

Ogwe in his tweet, averred that though questions like "If God already knows that the world is evil, why does he still send children to be born?" might sound intelligent, the premise is deeply flawed because God does not create babies.

 

According to the Pastor, babies are formed in the mother's womb as a result of fellowship between man and woman, and not because "there's a baby-making factory in heaven". 

 

Ogwe who reiterated that "men and women choose to bring babies into this world", added that after God created Adam and said "Be fruitful and multiply", the job became that of men. 

 

The Pastor however admitted that God can have a plan for an unborn child, but only after the parents decide to have a child.

 

He tweeted; 

 

If God already knows that the world is evil, why does he still send Children to be born? I know this sounds like such an intelligent question, but the premise is deeply flawed. Here's why; GOD DOESN'T CREATE BABIES AGAIN!

I know you think there's a baby making factory in heaven and the babies are being sorted (just like in Boss Baby, but babies are formed in the mother's womb, as a result of fellowship between man and woman. They pray in tongues violently and 9 months later, boom, a baby!

Seriously now, Men and Women make babies! Men and Women choose to bring babies into this world. After God created Adam and said "Be fruitful and multiply", the Job became man's! God can have a plan for an unborn child (just like in Jeremiah's case)

But only after the parents decide to have that Child! So your question is best phrased this way.... If parents know that there so much evil in the world, why do they choose to bring children in?! Don't blame God for something that is entirely up to men and women.

“My daughter left home around 5am on Thursday and since then, we have searched almost everywhere to locate her. We even reported to the Igbogbo police station, Ikorodu to help us find her and we were told that it has been radioed to other units," Adebimpe said. 

 

"We are also intimating her university about the development but it’s just sad that we haven’t located her till now. I am losing it already and I don’t know how much more I can take if she’s not found,” she added.

 

One of her sisters also expressed worry about Arafat's whereabouts.

 

“She’s a cool and religious devotee, having to part with her this long is worrisome and we are hoping that she will reunite with us soon.” she said.
