Wike invites Tinubu to commission projects in Rivers

 

The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has alleged that the Federal Government led by President Muhammadu Buhari is plotting to kill him and many other people in Rivers State as part of their grand plan to snatch the state from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Gov.Wike stated this in an exclusive interview with Premium Times. He vowed to resist all attempts by the APC to rig the 2015 general elections in Rivers State like they did in the recent governorship election in Ekiti State.

“It won’t happen in my state, but I know they will kill a lot of persons. I can tell you they will kill a lot of us. No problem, this is the sacrifice we have to make for democracy to thrive. Even those who will kill also know they have children, they don’t know who will come after their own children. You can be a major-general, you kill people, you don’t know who will come after your children tomorrow”.

Wike vowed to con http://sahara.test/mtn-sues-cbn-agf-over-8-1billion-fundstinue to fight against the many impunity of the APC led government even if he ends up sacrificing his own life.

According to Him;

“Everybody must be ready to make sacrifices, and in doing this it could take your life. That’s life!
I have told my wife and children, this is where we have found ourselves. This is a bloodthirsty government.
I see myself that I may not be alive. It is obvious. The government is determined, they have made up their mind, but we are ready to die. We must stand up for the truth.

They have the instrument of coercion, they can send in the army to overrun a place. This is a government that doesn’t care; it is not a democratic government, it is a dictatorship in civilian uniform. I do know that I may not likely be alive. But should I be cowed when I know that my time will come when it will come? Look, my attorney-general came to see me and I told him that he has to travel out for medical check-up. And he died, I never saw him again. Did you know he would die? Death will come when it will come. We must face reality, and that’s the point we have reached in this country. Whether you are in your house, the government will come after you, whether you are in the kitchen the government will come after you, whether you are in the office the government will come after you.

This government is out to eliminate people who say no. And that is why I keep saying that the international community is not doing enough, by now they should have revoked the visa of some of the people who are opposed to democratic rule and rule of law in this country. This government is bent on eliminating key opposition leaders”.

Governor Wike also alleged that as part of the plot to use the security agencies, especially the police to rig the elections in 2019 in Rivers State, the federal government has perfected plans to promote certain individuals who will do the job for them.

“Okay, let me tell you this: they are promoting my commissioner of police to become assistant inspector-general of police, they are promoting the deputy commissioner of police to become the commissioner of police, and the SARS man who took the Rivers state government to court, who have perpetuated election-rigging in the state, even by INEC report, and they are going to make him in-charge of police operation in the state. This is just for the purpose of the 2019 elections in the state. And they think we don’t know”, Wike said.

Lagos Speaker Obasa Supports NIMA Memorial Foundation On Hygiene For Girls Child

Published

on

 

Rt. Hon. (Dr) Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly (LAHA), has clearly demonstrated his heartfelt commitment to the empowerment and upliftment of young girls. This dedication was prominently showcased at the annual symposium and grand ball organized by the NIMA Memorial Care Foundation, held at the Lagos Marriott Hotel and Resorts on Sunday. This year’s event embraced the theme “Empowering Futures: Clean Water and Hygiene Support For Girl Child.”

Although Speaker Obasa was unable to attend the symposium in person, his sentiments were represented by Hon. Prince Richard Adedamola Kasunmu, Deputy Majority Leader of LAHA. In his opening remarks, Kasunmu connected the audience to the renowned Afrobeat musician Fela Anikulapo’s song, “Water no get enemy,” setting a meaningful tone for his speech. He expressed the Speaker’s steadfast support for the rights of young girls, advocating for their equal treatment and underscoring the necessity to see them as deserving citizens rather than second-class individuals.

Speaker Obasa’s administration has proactively championed female inclusivity within its cabinet by concentrating on ensuring access to clean water and proper hygiene. Partnerships with various foundations aim to provide sustainable clean water solutions for rural settings and educational institutions, aligning with the needs of the girl child.

Representing Speaker Obasa, Kasunmu assured attendees that their endeavors would persistently aim for tangible improvements to enhance the quality of life for young girls within the community.

During the event, Co-founder Mrs. Zainab Fashipe shared insights into the numerous obstacles that girls face, pinpointing a dire shortage of clean water and sanitary conditions. She provided poignant examples illustrating the reality of inadequate menstrual hygiene practices among young females.

The NIMA Memorial Care Foundation was established to continue the altruistic legacy of Nimatallahi Monturayo Alake Fashipe, who tragically passed away at age 20 on March 2, 2023. Nimatallahi’s profound impact on helping street children, providing clear water solutions in northern regions, and equipping orphans with essential skills provided the foundation for perpetuating her humanitarian contributions.

During her speech, Mrs. Fashipe implored government entities, humanitarian agencies, and the Nigerian populace to back this noble cause, mentioning that their endeavors have been predominantly financed by donations and proceeds from her late daughter’s soap business.

The symposium drew remarkable attention from distinguished guests like Prof. Anthony Kila, well-respected Director and Founder of the Commonwealth Institute of Advanced and Professional Studies. Prof. Kila delivered an encouraging address, advocating for heightened government, individual, and corporate support towards the NIMA Memorial Foundation, recognizing its significant role in advocating for educational and developmental opportunities for young girls.

Additionally, veteran Nollywood actress Ronnie Dikko made a notable contribution by lending her voice to the mission. She committed to offering her consistent support to the foundation and pledged her availability whenever required.

Furthermore, the attendance of representatives from the Ogun and Lagos State commissioners, alongside the Commissioner for Youth and Social Development of Lagos State, lent governmental legitimacy and encouragement to the event’s proceedings.
