The Southern Youth Assembly (SYA) has described the recent resignation of some commissioners in Rivers State as an “act of God.”

 

 

Resignation of commissioners under Gov Fubara is part of God's plan to liberate Rivers State - Southern Forum

The forum made this statement in a press release signed by its Co-Chairmen, Comrade Jack Okpobiri Ofili, Dr. Oluwasanmi Ayoola, and Chief Mbanefo Okoye, which was made available to the press on Saturday.

SYA stated that the resignation of the commissioners, who claimed to be loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and not to the Rivers people, was part of God’s plan to liberate the state.

They emphasised that with the resignation of the commissioners and other disloyal appointees, Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration was being purged of internal saboteurs and assuming a better position to deliver more democratic dividends to Rivers people.

The forum noted that the resignation of a few self-serving people who do not believe in the principles of the Governor does not in any way reflect the position of the 5.6 million citizens of the state.

“The Southern Youth Assembly (SYA), the umbrella body of youth organisations in the 17 Southern States, welcomes the recent resignation of some commissioners in Rivers State

“As a forum that has been carefully following events in the state, we see this as God’s plan to liberate the state,” the statement said.

“It’s an open secret that the commissioners who recently tendered their resignations are loyal to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, and not to the government and people of Rivers State. Most of them shamefully resigned after their dangerous plots to internally sabotage Governor Siminalayi Fubara’s administration and destabilise the state failed.

“They thought their resignations would stir a political crisis in the state and distract Governor Fubara more, but it has turned out to be a blessing. It’s good news for Rivers people because a commissioner is to interpret the principles and policies of the Governor, so having a rebellious commissioner would gravely affect the quality of governance. Their resignations have purged the Fubara’s administration of internal saboteurs and it is now better positioned to deliver more democratic dividends to Rivers people.

“It’s on record that the Governor did not sack or pressurised any commissioner to resign. They all resigned willing knowing that they had been rejected by the people after their treacherous plots against the state were exposed. Therefore, Governor Fubara must be commended for maintaining 100 per cent composure in the face of distractions.

“It’s important to note that the resignation of the few self-serving commissioners does not in any way reflect the position of the 5.6 million citizens of the state as they are 100 per cent with the Governor. The overwhelming support of Rivers people has been the driving force of the Fubara’s administration. Governor Fubara has nothing to worry about as the people who are his employers are happy with his performance so far in the state.

“The way the Governor has handled governance and comported himself despite vicious provocations and distractions is quite laudable. His leadership style is sui generis. We are confident that the resignation of the treacherous commissioners would pave the way for greater things in Rivers State as the Governor would now be left with people who share in his vision for the state.”

Sahara Weekly Reports That The arrest of Edo State’s Accountant General, Julius Anelu, and two other top officials was carried out to quickly save state in view of “huge and suspicious from the state treasured by the outgoing administration”.

 

 

 

 

An impeccable source within the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which pleaded anonymity informed that the arrests were made to save the state rather than ground the activities of the state.

 

 

We acted to save Edo State - EFCC Justifies Arrest of Edo Accountant-General, others

 

 

The EFCC had arrested the Accountant General of Edo State, Julius Anelu, and two other top government officials over alleged financial imprieprieties.

 

“Out of N24.6bn paid into the government’s account, about N14bn was left within one week after the money was deposited some weeks back., meaning about N10bn has been withdrawn within five working days”

 

The source added that the EFCC had to quickly move in to to save the state and not to ground its activities as being peddled.

 

“The amounts withdrawn were huge sums. For instance, about some weeks ago, N24.6bn was paid into that account. But in less than one week, about N14bn was left in the account. To save the state, we had to quickly move in. We are not in any way doing that to ground the state activities, it is actually to save the state,” said the source.

 

“We have been investigating the governor of the state, Godwin Obaseki, since 2022 but this latest arrest was as a result of huge withdrawals from the state’s derivation account as the Obaseki’s administration is winding down”.

 

Efforts to get the EFCC’s Head of Media and Publicity, Dele Oyewale, proved abortive as calls to his line were not answered. He has yet to respond to a message sent to him on the matter.

 

The arrest of the officials came days after the Edo State governor-elect, Monday Okpebholo, had accused the the State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, “of last-minute borrowings and looting.”

 

In a statement issued on October 16, Okpebholo, called on relevant authorities including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Police and Department of State Services to investigate the allegations.

Botswana Election: Shocking Fulfilment Of Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy (VIDEO)

*Botswana Election: Shocking Fulfilment Of Primate Ayodele’s Prophecy (VIDEO)

 

 

The outcome of the just concluded election in Botswana that saw the ruling party lose power after 58 years is a testament to Primate Ayodele’s prophetic credibility.

Voters in Botswana have delivered a shock defeat to the party that has ruled them for nearly six decades by handing victory to an opposition coalition and its presidential candidate Duma Boko.

The 54-year-old of the Umbrella for Democratic Change (UDC) will replace President Mokgweetsi Masisi, who on Friday conceded defeat after his Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) lost by a landslide for the first time in 58 years.

Primate Ayodele had on several occasions long before this election held that the incumbent president would be disappointed at the election polls. He made it known that the outcome of the election would be shocking and disappointing to the ruling party.

These were his words:

‘’In Botswana, the president will make every effort and the country will want to move on to a stage but the president must be careful so he won’t be disappointed. In the coming election, the president will be disappointed, people will not want to vote him.’’

Primate Ayodele made this video in September 2023 regarding the nation of Botswana when there was nothing that looked like the incumbent president was going to lose the election in the physical realm but the prophet, as usual, spoke based on divine signals received from God and it’s surprising that the prophecy came to pass in this manner.

For a party to rule for 58 years, it is almost impossible to take power from such a party and this is what makes the prophecy of Primate Ayodele unique.

If the president had listened to Primate Ayodele, maybe he would have tried to work on some of the things that later made him lose the election but as usual of politicians, they ignore prophetic warnings and regret later when they happen.

It would also be recalled that in October 2023, Primate Ayodele warned the incumbent president to be careful so that he wouldn’twas shoot himself in the leg and face betrayal in the election that held yesterday.

These were his words

‘’The incumbent president of Botswana must pray for good health and God’s divine help. The country should pray against disease outbreaks and the prevention of border crises. The president will have a tough time because he will shoot himself with an unpopular policy. I see their currency becoming weaker. Investors will dump the country. They need to be careful of external attack, the president will be betrayed.’’

Aiyedatiwa is in panic mode, says PDP

Aiyedatiwa is in panic mode, says PDP

 

Ahead of the November 16 governorship election in Ondo state, the main opposition People’s Democratic Party, PDP, has said that Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC, was in panic over losing the election.

 

However, the APC has dismissed the PDP claim as hogwash, insisting that the governor would win the poll in a landslide.

 

PDP Publicity Secretary, Hon Kennedy Peretei, said: “As the Ondo election approaches the Zero Hour, those who said the election was a walk-over for them have been unable to have sound sleep, slipping into a ‘panic mode.’ A good number of them, who initially proclaimed that they are ‘Lucky’ are singing a new song, based on the realities they encountered on the field.

“The comfort of their offices from where they proclaimed being ‘Lucky’ are the exact opposite of the streets in which hunger and lack, walk in all four legs.

“The electorate sent the signal wherever the campaign train of Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa visited that there is pain in the land, orchestrated by the All Progressives Congress, Aiyedatiwa’s party. In their confusion, the National Chairman of APC, Dr Abdullahi Ganduje, in one breath, said the Edo ‘Template’ will be applied in Ondo State. In another, he said, the APC does not need to rig the Ondo election to win.

“This was the first sign that the APC national leadership has come to terms with the reality that nobody can rig the November 16 election, and they are not as lucky as they hitherto assumed.

“Having failed to convince the people why they should trust him with their mandate, some panicky measures were taken.

“Because they were not all well thought out, they all fell flat on their backs. The 416 political appointees, carefully selected from the 203 Electoral Wards were shocked to discover that, for October, 2024, they received no salary alert.

“What is the guarantee that, after losing the election in November, they will be paid? Are these not the same people shouting they are ‘Lucky’? They should know better by now.

 

 

“When the alarm that the N73,000 minimum wage was announced at a campaign rally was another promise that would never be met, some people dismissed it. Those workers who went to endorse the governor for another term should ask themselves again if indeed, they have been lucky with this Governor.

 

“After spending 10 months in the saddle, it is his programmes and projects that should have done the campaigns for Governor Aiyedatiwa. Instead, he is recruiting propagandists to lie to Ondo State people, as if we are blind and deaf.

 

“Out of fear of losing the election, the Commandant of Amotekun Corps, Adetunji Adeleye was drafted to head a 25-member security committee of the campaigns. Instead of apologizing to the people, the Spokesman of the Aiyedatiwa Campaign denied that such was ever proposed. How can anybody trust people who lie so shamelessly in this manner? Those who think Ondo State is lucky with this kind of administration should pinch themselves to be sure that they are not dreaming.
