Rivers: Pro-Democracy Group Warns Chidi Lloyd, Other LG Chairmen to Vacate Office June 17

*Rivers: Pro-Democracy Group Warns Chidi Lloyd, Other LG Chairmen to Vacate Office June 17

 

 

The Pro-Democracy Coalition of Nigeria (P-DCN) has warned Chidi Lloyd, the chairman of Emohua and other Local Government heads in Rivers State to vacate office when their tenure expires.

Recall that a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt had last month nullified tenure extension for the chairmen of the 23 local government areas in the state.

This was as the court declared the Local Government Law No.2 of 2024, which extended the tenure of local government chairmen by six months after the expiration of their tenure as invalid.

But Lloyd claimed that his tenure had been extended by six months by the same state assembly.

However, in a statement signed by its President, Comr. Jack Thomas, the group said it is “embarrassing and regrettable that such a brazen display of arrogance in ignorance can emanate from a local government chairman.”

Thomas added: “The local government chairman my be suffering from memory loss, or how will claim his tenure was extended by six months despite the Order of the Rivers State High Court nullifying the purported extension of tenure of local government chairmen by people who are not members of the Rivers State House of Assembly, owing to their to the loss of their seat as a result of their defection from the Peoples Democratic Party( PDP) to the All Progressives Congress(APC).

“We also wish to remind Mr Chidi that, on May 21,2024, a Rivers State High Court sitting in Port Harcourt, nullified tenure extension of the tenure of the 23 local government chairmen in Rivers state.

“The court declared the Local Government Law No.2 of 2024, which extended the tenure of local government chairmen by six months after the expiration of their tenure as invalid.

“The court held that the law is inconsistent with the 1999 constitution and Section 9 (1) of Rivers State Law No 5 of 2018 which fixed three years for local government chairmen and councilors.

“This sound judgment was delivered by Justice, D.G. Kio, in suit number PHC/1320/CS/2024, which was instituted by Enyiada Cookey-Gam & 6 Ors vs. The Governor of Rivers State & Ors.

“The Court also affirmed that the lawful tenure for LG chairmen and councillors remained three years as stipulated by the 2018 law, saying any attempt to extend the tenure is unlawful, and violates the officials’ oath of office.

“The chairman of Emohua local government should not ridicule himself in his last few days in office but should be offering apologies to his people for his poor performance in office.

“Mr Chidi must not incur the wrath of Rivers people by refusing to leave office when his tenure expires on June 17th, 2024, as there will be no extension to his tenure, not even for a day.

“We also use this opportunity to call on security agencies to deal decisively with the likes of Chidi should they indulge in acts that will affect the peace and security of Rivers State.”

The Senate President of National Association of Polytechnic Students ( NAPS) Condemned the Act of Negligence of Segilola Operating Resources Company Limited on Environmental degradation,Host Community neglect, environmental Pollution and not been Friendly to the Students Community in Osun State.

NAPS Senate frown at Operations of Segilola Operating Resource Limited iperindo over not been Friendly to the Students community , the lackadaisical attitude towards the host community, air and water pollution is becoming unbearable in the Community, the lives of the Citizens of the host community where some of our Students reside is no longer save, we are calling on Federal Government and Osun State Government to stop the Operation of Segilola for now until the right thing is done, the lives of our people in the host Community is very important to us and the Nation,having carried out series of investigation on the activities of the said company and its environmental impacts on our people, we have decided to make our positions known before causing serious havoc within the region.”

As a students’ body, we have read and heard of the operations of Segilola Operating Resource Company in the Atakunmosa East Local Government Area of Osun State which deals in what we best describeed as illegal gold mining in the Iperindo axis of Ilesha.”
And the activities of this company is being carried out very closed to two tertiary institutions, Osun State College of Education and Osun State College of Health Technology, Ilesha and the same water flows through Osun State College Technology Esa Oke,In addition to this, it contaminates water, causes slow growth rate in plants and respiratory problem, liver and kidney damage in man and damages landscapes which leads to displacing communities and households.

As an association, we deem it fit to demand for the observation of the whole mining site as being operated by Segilola Operating Resource Company in the Iperindo area of Ilesha so as to evaluate the physical impact of mining and to collect soul samples from the surface of the mined and un-mined area within the mining sites for some laboratory tests to be conducted on it before it started affecting the physical structures of the two tertiary institutions and the students themselves.

Going forward, we say a total No to the illegal mining in any part of the South Western region most especially Osun state, where the consequences may fall on students and the community, hence, immediate government intervention is needed urgently,” the state ended.

The Welfare and good health for the Citizens of the Host Community should be a priority of any organization and the Government.

Stop the Operation of Segilola now or the Students will mobilize in thousands to picket the Segilola company in few days from Now.

Aluta Continua..Victoria Ascerta.
Signed:

Comrade Adeniji Boluwaji Temitope

Businesses grounded as flood overtakes Lagos, Ogun As Predicted By Pro. Kingsley

Sadly, business and commercial activities were grounded on Wednesday following a 10-hour downpour in many parts of Lagos and Ogun states.

This is not unconnected to the fulfillment of the prophetic warnings of Prophet Kingsley Aitafo two months ago when he said Lagos and Ogun state should be careful as he sees flood ravage the the states.

The resulting flooding brought down a two-storey building in the Mushin area of Lagos, grounded vehicular movement on the roads and overwhelmed thousands of residents while pupils could not attend schools in parts of the states.

Such places include Berger, Ikeja, Ogba and in some parts, the rain lasted for 10 hours.

A visit to some affected flooded areas such as Iyana-Oworo, Agege, Ijegun-Isheri Osun, Gbagada and Lagos Island in Lagos State, observed that roads and houses were flooded as a result of long hours of downpour.

Other flooded places in Lagos include Eredo, Bojije, Epe, Sangotedo,  Ibeju-Lekki, Awoyaya, Labora, and Abijon

Ogun state was not spared too as places such as  Atan-Ota, Aseese, Ifo, Sango-Ota, and Ijebu-Ode in Ogun State were affected and major roads were  submerged, making them impassable and leaving passengers stranded.

Primate Ayodele: The Rainmaker!*

Primate Ayodele: The Rainmaker!*

*Primate Ayodele: The Rainmaker!*

 

 

When Jesus was in the middle of the storm with his disciples and some passengers, He slept off while everyone was panicking and when they woke him up to inform him about the deadly storm, he simply said a word to the storm and it immediately became calm. People who were there marveled and said ‘What manner of man is this that even the storm listens to him.’

 

Primate Ayodele: The Rainmaker!*

Similarly, Prophet Elijah called down fire and stopped rain, Joshua caused the sun to shine even in the night, Moses parted the red sea, Elisha crossed River Jordan and in addition to this list of mysterious men, Primate Elijah Ayodele, a Nigerian Prophet, and leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, has become a rainmaker after constantly calling down rain from heaven.

Primate Ayodele is publicly known for many things especially his prophecies but not so much was known about his ministerial ability to make rain fall until the non-stop downpour of 1st of July to 3rd of July which he foretold in his church during a live service in June.

In a video that has been shared across social media platforms, Primate Ayodele was leading prayers on the altar when he suddenly mentioned that there will be a non-stop heavy downpour between July 1-July 3, 2024 and that it would rain everywhere during those days. He advised his church members to ensure they pray under the rain because it would have spiritual advantage and even when he had forgotten that he made such a statement, the rain that started on the 1st of July was a powerful one. The rain literally fell for three days (July 1- July 3) and to show how heavy it was, there was serious flooding in different locations especially in Lagos, houses collapsed and several were rendered homeless due to the non-stop heavy downpour.

‘On the 1st, 2nd, 3rd of July, Rain will fall and there won’t be sun at all. Let the rain beat you, it’s a rain of relief.’

Meanwhile, it won’t be the first time Primate Ayodele would be accurately speaking on significant days when there would be heavy downpour and as a matter of fact, Primate Ayodele’s ministry started with the rain as a sign. Back in the day, Primate Ayodele never wanted to lead a church except he was sure that God called him and while he was tentatively chosen to become a lead prophet, He asked God to make it rain in some locations as a sign; he made this request twice and at both times, God indeed made it rain mysteriously.

While this may be difficult to comprehend for ordinary humans, many may feel Primate Ayodele uses weather forecasts to make these weather predictions but even weather forecasts sometimes are inaccurate and most times, we don’t even get to see these forecasts till one day before. Moreover, Primate Ayodele never misses and his prophecies come in months before and in fact, those in charge of weather forecasts would be the ones watching him to make their predictions.

In a few days time, Primate Ayodele would be launching the 30th edition of his prophecy book, Warnings To The Nations, which is truly another mysterious part of his ministry. No doubt, God is working through the ministry of Primate Elijah Ayodele.
