2023: Atiku Speaks On His Relationship With Kwankwaso, Obi

By Mike Oboh

Executive National President of Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria, RTEAN, Comrade Eriyo Osakpamwan has debunked claims in the media that the association wrote a letter to Peoples Democratic Party’s Presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar assuring him of mass support in the 2019 general elections.

According to Comrade Osakpamwan, reports in an online media that the association’s Secretary General, Alhaji Yusuf Adeniyi wrote a letter to the PDP Presidential candidate Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of mass support during the electioneering campaign in 2018 was a creation of the writer and lacked any element of credibility.

“Neither myself or my Secretary General wrote such a letter, the letter is fabricated, it is a creation of the out gone Lagos State chairman, Musa Mohammed and his cohorts to coin favour from presidency of which they know am a die-hard fan of President Mohammadu Buhari since the days of APP to present day APC.

“It is funny to say the least, I also challenged them, also the online publisher and their sponsors to provide the letter and subject it to forensic analysis.

“For the avoidance of doubt, I have been a loyal follower of President Mohammadu Buhari from the days of All Peoples Party, as the Deputy State Youth leader, to Alliance for Democracy, to Alliance Congress of Nigeria to now All Progressives Congress, were a I also served as Edo state youth leader.

“My story is there for people to confirm as a man who spent his hard earned money to ensured victory for APC in my state and Nigeria.

“Ordinarily, the office of the President is not supposed to join issues with some miscreants hiding under the guise of faction to scandalize the name and the office of the president of RTEAN.

“It is surprising that they engaged the services of online bloggers, which they paid handsomely for propaganda, and fabricate stories. However, we decided to react to some of the misleading and fake information by Musa Mohammed and his cohorts.”

He said it is in public domain that the Zone 7 address they used for the fabricated story, was when the former President, Musa isiwele was still in office.

He said for the avoidance of doubt, the campaign Director General for Atiku , Otunba Gbenga Daniel was still alive for verification if in any letter as president of RTEAN.

Osakpamwan , added that in their myopic manner, they claimed in the said letter that,” I have the support of an APC Chieftain, at this point, they have contradicted themselves.

“It is on record that in the month of February, 2019 I came openly to declared my full support for President Mohammadu Buhari and the National Chairman of APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole , this further diffused their illegal letter that was dated on the 5th of October, 2018, this can further be proved by both National newspapers and Electronics media.

“In the month of March, 2019, when the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha came to inaugurate our mass transit buses, I made it clear to him that our over 16 million members across the country will vote enmass for President Mohammadu Buhari, which we did accordingly.

“As the Executive National President of RTEAN, I enjoyed the overwhelming support of all the state chapters, including Federal Capital Territory of RTEAN members. Therefore, I enjoy you all to disregard the fake information as fabricated by Musa Mohammed and his cohorts.

“But remembered that Lagos state Exco remained dissolved and Musa Mohammed and his cohorts are free to contest election within the stipulated date.”

Oleksandr Usyk Defeats Tyson Fury Again, Solidifies Legacy Among Boxing Greats

Ukrainian boxing sensation Oleksandr Usyk retained his heavyweight championship titles and cemented his place in boxing history with a unanimous decision victory over Britain’s Tyson Fury in their rematch on Saturday night.

The judges scored the bout 116-112 in Usyk’s favor across the board, marking his second consecutive win over Fury. This victory extended Usyk’s flawless professional record to 23-0, with 14 knockouts, adding another chapter to a career already highlighted by Olympic gold and an undisputed cruiserweight championship.

A Masterclass Performance

Usyk, 37, showcased his signature precision and relentless pace, repeatedly catching Fury with clean left hooks and dominating the latter stages of the fight. Fury, at 6ft 9in (206cm) and weighing a career-high 281 pounds, attempted to impose his physicality but was unable to break Usyk’s composure.

The fight, held in Saudi Arabia, saw Usyk wearing traditional Cossack attire during his entrance, while Fury entered the arena dressed in a festive Santa-inspired robe to Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The early rounds were competitive, with Fury landing powerful jabs and body shots. However, Usyk’s endurance and tactical brilliance began to shine in the middle rounds. The Ukrainian landed sharp combinations and dictated the tempo, including a stunning uppercut in the final round that left little doubt about the outcome.

“I thought I’ve won both fights,” Fury said post-match, sporting a bruised right eye. “But I’ll always believe until the day I die that I won that fight.”

A Legacy Sealed

Usyk’s victory solidified his standing as one of the greatest heavyweights in history. Already the first undisputed heavyweight of the four-belt era, Usyk joins the ranks of legends like Muhammad Ali, Joe Louis, and Mike Tyson.

The bout, reported to have a prize purse of $190 million, also underscored Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in global sports. Usyk, who served briefly as a soldier during Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, celebrated his victory by hoisting a symbolic sabre belonging to Ukrainian nationalist hero Ivan Mazepa.

Fury’s Uncertain Future

The defeat leaves Fury’s future in doubt. Once unbeaten across 35 fights, Fury now stands at 34-2-1. His attempt to reclaim glory after a brief retirement in 2022 has been marred by back-to-back losses to Usyk.

Usyk, on the other hand, continues to add to his already remarkable resume, leaving fans and critics alike in awe of his technical skill, resilience, and determination. As the heavyweight division looks ahead, Usyk’s reign appears unshakable, and his place among boxing’s all-time greats is firmly secured.
