The prophetic hall of fame, prophet Godwin Ikuru of Jehovah Eye Salvation Ministry has berated the Akwaibom state governor,Bassey Eno for refusing to pay the sum of N7.5 billion which the state is owing Stemco Ltd for road construction projects that were executed in the state between 2012 and 2015.

The prophet described the attitude of the governor as insensitive, vicious and wicked “how come you claim to be a pastor and you’re insensitive and wicked towards the plight of the people,Stemco has over 4000 staff that has been rendered financially handicap, homeless and worthless; today I received a message that one of the staff died today because he couldn’t afford to pay for medical treatment because Awaiting statement government has made the company poor,this company borrowed money to execute your project in Akwaibom and you have refused to pay them; it’s obvious you’re not a man of God,I want U to pay them that money within seven days or I will pray and God will torment you,you will be diagnosed of a sickness that doesn’t have cure and you will know that the power of God truly exist”.

He condemned the Eno for trying to swerve by claiming that the project was not executed in his administration “the project was executed for Akwaibom state government ,whose regime it was executed is absolutely inconsequential because it’s a state project, refusal to pay indicates that he’s callous and Wicked”.

DEBUNKING FALSE NEWS ON YACHT OWNERSHIP

Sahara Weekly Reports That There have been false claims circulating that a private individual’s yacht spotted in St. Tropez is a Nigerian government yacht. Here are some points to consider in order to discern the truth:

1. The 42m Bennetti yacht currently being share online has been privately owned for around 5 years since it was constructed. It is important to note that this specific yacht has no connection or ownership ties to the Nigerian government, president or armed forces. Any claims or assertions suggesting otherwise are simply not true and inaccurate.

2. It is not uncommon for luxury yachts to fly the flag of the owner’s country as well as the flag of the country in which they are registered.

3. The official Nigerian flag is Green-White-Green without a coat of arms in the middle. Flags representing the Nigerian President or the Armed Forces do not contain a coat of arms in the center. Placing anything in the center of the flag is a clear deviation.

Regarding the naval observatory and training ship often referred to as the “presidential yacht,” it was ordered and acquired by Nigeria during President M. Buhari’s tenure (2015-2023). It was delivered in June 2023 but was never paid for. This information has been officially confirmed by the Naval authorities. Director of Naval Information, Adedotun Ayo-Vaughan, affirmed in a statement in November 2023 that the yacht was indeed ordered during former President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration and was delivered to Nigeria well before it was included in the budget as an outstanding debt obligation. “That is correct, it is in Nigeria,” he said.

Finally, it is important to exercise caution and refrain from defaming or exposing private individuals and their legitimate businesses to ridicule based on false political associations with personal property.
