The sword of Damocles dangled around Taraba state for several years, the people wailed continuously as the state slides toward imminent disaster as a result of maladministration. There was no hope in sight as it was predicted that it will take years for Taraba state to be saved from destruction but in one month, Dr. Agbu Kefas has rescued Nature’s gift to the nation.

 

 

 

Dr. Agbu Kefas, who was inaugurated into office on Monday, 29th Of May, 2023 was greeted by a heap of issues; Insecurity, debt, unpaid salaries and pension, power supply, unemployment, worsening economic conditions, education crisis, and several others. Due to the abundant issues, there was a premonition that Dr. Agbu Kefas would have a rocky beginning.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Against the premonitions and predictions, Dr. Agbu Kefas has excelled beyond human imagination within his first month in office by creating mind-blowing reforms in every sector of the state.

 

 

 

He immediately tackled unemployment in the state to a large extent with the creation of 300 jobs for women and youths in Taraba state within 74 hours as Governor of Taraba state. He swiftly engaged 300 workers, including women, young girls, and boys, to undertake sanitation duties in Jalingo, focusing particularly on major roads within the city. These workers, appointed with a monthly take-home pay of N20,000, commenced their daily activities at 5 am and concluded by 7:30 am.

In the same vein, Dr. Agbu Kefas declared that commuters will be allowed to work until midnight in the state to boost the night economy of Taraba state. No doubt, this is a development that came after studying other countries and well-to-do states, most of them rely on the night business to further boost the economy and increase the internally generated revenue of the state.

Dr. Agbu Kefas started his administration with the engagements of the youth community in the state. Even before the inauguration, announcements had gone that there will be a three-day summit dedicated to the youths of Taraba state. The summit, which was the first of its kind in the northeast zone of the country, was aimed at giving the youth population the rare opportunity to speak to the government, share ideas, and proffer solutions to the problems faced in Taraba state. The summit which was organized by a 21-man committee selected by Dr. Agbu Kefas held as promised and several recommendations which will be implemented in the current administration were made.

Within his first month, one of the highlights of Dr. Agbu Kefas was his deliberate actions toward creating an enabling environment for the education sector. The first decision he made was to declare a state of emergency on the sector which has been greatly impoverished for years. He also imbibed the character of visiting secondary schools unannounced to get a full grasp of the situation. So far, He has visited Comprehensive Secondary Schools in Jalingo, Nyamusalah Primary School, Government Science Secondary School, and Jalingo Science Secondary School. He has ordered immediate renovation in some of these schools with decrepit structures, in fulfillment of his promise to bring about a reform in the sector.

The agriculture sector wasn’t left out of the reformative hands of Dr. Agbu Kefas. Just last week, He signed a deal with a foreign company to deliver 750 tractors for mechanized farming. Local farmers in Taraba state will be beneficiaries of this laudable act of Dr. Agbu Kefas.

Apart from the aforementioned sectors, there have been reformative activities in the power, healthcare, and security sectors. Dr. Agbu Kefas recently made an impromptu visit to a Specialist Hospital in Jalingo to access the facilities and order improvements on them, He also appointed a new chairman of Taraba Marshall, a security network in the state.

Furthermore, there are exclusive reports that by next week, the governor will make known his commissioners’ list which includes 80% of youths and women. Many of these things have not happened in Taraba state before, it’s truly a new dawn for the good people of the state.

Within one month, Dr. Agbu Kefas has engaged in exceptional activities for the betterment of Taraba state. If he continues on this path, Taraba state will live up to its full potential as nature’s pride to the nation.

He has touched all of his campaign promises within a short period; this confirms his readiness to work and his ability to allow the people to enjoy the dividend of democracy. These are not for the faint-hearted and the feeble-minded, only the Strong can do them.

May Kefas succeed!

Let Peace And Unity Reigns in Edo State, Governor Monday Okpebholo aide Daniel Eromosele plead with PDP

 

 

 

Sahara Weekly Reports That The desperation of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State is alarming, to say the least. Despite their decisive loss in the September 21 election, they seem determined to inflict pain and suffering on the good people of Edo. Their strategy? To create chaos and violence across the state, thereby disrupting the peace and progress that the current administration is working hard to establish. With the intention to render the State ungovernable and create room for the declaration of State of emergency in Edo.

The recent gruesome killings of Muslims traveling through the state are a stark manifestation and reminder of the PDP’s wicked and bizzare intentions. What’s even more disturbing, however, is the fact that instead of condemning these heinous acts, some senior PDP officials are trying to downplay the severity of ugly incidents. They’re using these senseless killings to call on the Federal Government to declare a State of emergency in Edo State. Nothing can be more far from the truth that these same people are the perpetrators of these wicked and barbaric acts of criminality in the State. Its so sad that, their desperation has lost regard to sanctity of human life.

 

 

 

Let’s be clear: there’s no justification for these acts of criminality clothed in violence no matter the political leanings of the perpetrators or their victims. Every life is precious, and every killing is a tragedy that diminishes us all. Let it be known that those that orchestrated these acts of wickedness and criminality and those that defend them are guilty of the same offence and shall be so rewarded.

 

 

 

The hard truth is that whatever goes around comes around. The PDP and their failed candidate should let Edo enjoy the peace and progress that Governor Monday Okpebholo is working hard to achieve. They should wait for 2028 to try their luck again, instead of trying to disrupt the state’s progress through violence and chaos.

 

 

 

To the good people of Edo, let’s stand together these political Buccaneers and Vampires that are out to unleash violence against the good people. Violence has never been and will never be our culture.We deserve better, and we will not be swayed by the PDP’s antics. The good people of Edo State are solidly behind their ever performing Governor AKPAKO WONDER.

MYSTERY DEEPENS AS FORMER RIVERS HEAD OF SERVICE VANISHES AFTER RESIGNATION

"‘My Husband is in Trouble!’ – Wife of Ex-Rivers Official Cries Out After His Disappearance"

MYSTERY DEEPENS AS FORMER RIVERS HEAD OF SERVICE VANISHES AFTER RESIGNATION

 

The wife of George Nwaeke, the former Head of Service in Rivers State, has raised an alarm over her husband’s sudden disappearance, pleading with Nigerians to help locate him. Florence Nwaeke, visibly distressed, made an emotional appeal on Friday, expressing deep fears for his safety and alleging that he may have been taken against his will.

“When he got to Abuja, he called that he had landed. I said, ‘Thank God,’” she recounted while speaking to journalists. However, shortly afterward, she stumbled upon an online interview purportedly given by her husband—an interview she found deeply suspicious.

“I said, ‘That is not my husband. That is not my husband,’” she cried, suggesting that he might have been speaking under duress.

Mrs. Nwaeke further revealed desperate attempts to reach him, stating that her messages had gone unanswered and his phone lines had been switched off.

“Oh, Jesus, help me. Nigerians, help me. My husband is in trouble. Look at the message I sent to him,” she pleaded, showing journalists frantic texts she had sent.

Her fears intensified after Nwaeke made controversial claims against the embattled Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara. In a recent interview, the former Head of Service alleged that Fubara was backing Bauchi State Governor, Bala Mohammed, for the 2027 presidential election while simultaneously encouraging militants to attack oil facilities in the Niger Delta.

Perhaps the most damning accusation was Nwaeke’s claim that Fubara ordered the bombing of the Rivers State House of Assembly in 2023 to prevent his impeachment. This explosive statement has since fueled suspicions that his sudden disappearance is politically motivated.

Beyond making her emotional appeal to the media, Florence Nwaeke also made a direct call to Governor Fubara, urging him to intervene in the crisis.

“Governor, help me. My husband is in trouble. He is in trouble,” she begged, alleging that Nwaeke had been pressured into resigning under duress.

However, Governor Fubara has categorically dismissed the claims, insisting that Nwaeke was being manipulated by external forces. In a strongly worded rebuttal, Fubara accused the former Head of Service of being “compromised” and acting under the influence of those who allegedly paid him to make false allegations.

“The truth is that Dr. Nwaeke has been compromised, and whatever he is saying is only aimed at fulfilling his promise to those who may have paid or coerced him to lie against me,” Fubara stated in a late Friday press release.

The governor also released what he claims are screenshots of chats between Nwaeke and his Chief of Staff, Edison Ehie, in which Nwaeke allegedly sought financial support, further muddying the waters in an already controversial case.

As the mystery surrounding George Nwaeke’s whereabouts deepens, Nigerians are demanding answers. Was Nwaeke forced into hiding due to his allegations? Or is this a political chess game being played at the highest level of Rivers State politics?

For now, Florence Nwaeke’s anguished cries continue to echo, and the fate of her husband remains uncertain.
