  • National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) tells APC to stop attacking Supreme Court because it lost oil-rich states

    The National Association of Nigerian Students, NANS, has warned the leadership of All Progressives Congress, APC, to stop its attacks on the country’s judiciary.

    APC officials have continued to condemn Supreme Court judgments on governorship elections in Rivers and Akwa Ibom states.

    But NANS, Zone B, in a statement by its President, Mr Pedro Obi, said APC’s use of harsh words against the apex court was provocative.

    Obi said: “We learnt that the APC is only using the political brawl in the states to indirectly accentuate its quest for the oil-rich states of Akwa Ibom and Rivers which have slipped off its political sway. This, the party’s National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, could not hide in a recent interview.

    “It is really unfortunate that the Chairman of Akwa Ibom State chapter of APC, Mr. Amadu Attai, has shown his party’s desperation to take over Akwa Ibom State by all means.

    “The statement released by the chairman Akwa Ibom State chapter of the APC, in response to the Supreme Court verdict on the Akwa Ibom State election, is a political propaganda that doesn’t hold water.

    “It is, therefore, an orchestrated attempt to derail the governor’s industrialization blueprint which has started to yield result.

    “Hence, it is a stratagem aimed at distracting the governor who is willing to work for the benefit of Akwa Ibom populace, especially the indigent ones.”

  • Benue Samuel Ortom – PDP will only win the South Senatorial seat with violence

    The fight for the Benue South Senatorial seat is still open as the rerun will be holding this Saturday, Feb 20, 2016. But the state governor thinks APC has it all to win the votes.

  • Gov Ben Ayade appoints 2015 Miss Heritage Queen as Protocol Officer

    Gov. Ayade has appointed a beauty Queen as his executive protocol officer. Queen Akpana is still the current Miss Heritage Nigeria because she hasn’t handed over yet.

    She went to represent Nigeria in South Africa last year November at the Miss Heritage International competition which took place in Sandton, Johannesburg. Unfortunately she was robbed on arrival, but with determination and hard work she still went ahead to win as MISS HERITAGE AFRICA 2015 / 2016 and today her hard work is still paying off for her as she has just been appointed as an EXECUTIVE PROTOCOL officer to the governor of Cross River State.

  • Will Gov. Ayade complete his agenda for Cross River State in 2016?

    The Governor hails his people in a statement that compliment workers and the masses especially those that trusted in him.

    After the long awaited 2016 came to past, the government in his speech wrote,

    “I will give my right eye to honour my word”. 

    Yes indeed, his words are really coming into play for in his agenda he’s able to complete and promised to completing his agenda for 2016. The agenda which reads:
    1. Commissioning of the Calabar Garment Factory 
    2. Commissioning of the Calabar Monrail 
    3. Commissioning of the street lights and 5mega watts of electricity for Obudu town
    4. Activation of the Green Police 
    5. Completion of de-bushing of the Super Highway corridor 
    6. Completion of the detail design and securing approval for the deep seaport
    7. Commencement of the dredging of the deep seaport
    8. Completion of the detail design and pre-construction works of Calas-Vegas, Centicot City and Hallsinas; 3 new cities for the 3 Senatorial districts
    9. Commencement of construction of 5,000 social housing units for no-income and low-income earners
    10. Reconstruction of our Health and Educational system
    11. Establishment of the state micro-finance bank to provide soft loans for our teaming youths
    12. Injection of additional 20 mega watts of electricity to feed Calabar City
    13. To push for and obtain the concession of the Calabar-Itu federal roads and Calabar-Katsina-ala road
    14. Creation of new urban forest for climate change
    15. Finding oil and gas deposits on our lands
    16. Preliminary and detail design of Calabar Haulage City 
    17. Seek approval for the installation of oil and gas strategic reserve in the Atlantic Coast of Calabar. 

    Ending this year with the aforementioned agenda, I think this state will surely be rated number 1 and the Governor will have even more than two terms I swear.
