Amaechi’s Suspension From APC A Joke -Eze

Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, has described the suspension of Rotimi Amaechi, the Minister of Transport from the party as comic relief.

Amaechi’s suspension was announced on Monday by a faction of the party led by Igo Aguma, who accused the minister of anti-party.

Others suspended by the Aguma-led Caretaker Committee are Isaac Ogbobula, who is leading Amaechi’s faction of the APC; Senator Andrew Uchendu while Victor Giadom was outrightly expelled from the party.

However, Eze, who is a loyalist of Amaechi said Aguma’s declaration only had an entertainment value designed to evoke laughter from the audience and nothing more.

He said the political atmosphere was too serious to accommodate melodramatic actions and clowning.

He said, “Having shown their huge talents and endowments in the entertainment industry, it is only justifiable and fair to recommend Senator Magnus Abe, Aguma and others to AY, Basketmout, Bovi and other established comedians, for further grooming and rudimentary training to enable them live-out their dream career and set them up for life”.

“For the records and clarity purposes, Aguma, who has been parading himself as Rivers APC Caretaker Committee Chairman has since lost the locus to so act given that the judgment of the High Court which constituted statutory members of the party into CTC and imposed Aguma as Chairman has been suspended by the Court of Appeal since Thursday, July 16, 2020 in Isaac Abott Ogbobula v Igo Aguma & Ors.

“Recall that the Appellate Court had in a unanimous ruling by a panel of Justices, stripped Igo Aguma of the powers and legality to continue to lay claim to the Rivers APC CTC Chairmanship and that rulling is subsisting and remains in force until the Supreme Court rules otherwise”.

The party chief said that no legal basis upon which Igo Aguma could continue to act or purport to act was in existence.

Dismissing the suspension of Amaechi, Chief Giadom, Sen. Uchendu, and Ogbobula, as a joke taken too far, Eze appealed to the public to ignore Aguma.

The Bauchi State Ministry of Education has launched a sensitization campaign on the importance of education across selected market places in the state.

The campaign aims to encourage school enrolment and showcase the infrastructural facilities provided by the Bauchi state government to ensure a conducive environment for learning and teaching in the state.

Speaking during the flag off of the campaign at Gadan-Maiwa Community, Dr. Mohammed Lawal, the state’s Commissioner for Education, emphasized that the marketplaces are ideal locations to promote education, as it is a hub of activity where people gather to buy and sell.

He highlighted the various infrastructural facilities provided by the government, which he said included the mega schools, provision of qualified teachers, and educational materials to woo parents to enroll their wards into school.

The Commissioner noted that the state has made significant progress in reducing the number of out-of-school children.

Lawal stated that the government has implemented a Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) programme to support the education of girl children, which he said, has recorded significant success.

He therefore urged parents to take advantage of the government’s efforts and send their children to school.

The commissioner also commended Governor Bala Mohammed for his commitment to education and reducing the number of out-of-school children in the state.

On their part, the village head of Gadan-Maiwa, Safiyanu Ahmed, and the Chairman of Gadan-Maiwa motor Park, Alhaji Adamu Abubakar, lauded the government’s initiative and urged parents to support the effort.

The duo also appealed for more teachers to be employed to improve education in the state.

Former Big Brother Naija winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, was reportedly involved in a heated altercation at a hotel in Abuja following an alleged N200,000 disagreement.

According to eyewitness accounts, the confrontation began in the early hours of Tuesday inside Phyna’s hotel room in Abuja, before spilling into the lobby, attracting the attention of guests and staff.

Sources claimed the dispute stemmed from an unsettled financial issue involving N200,000, which quickly escalated into a shouting match.

The argument reportedly intensified when neither party was willing to back down, leading to pushing and chaos within the hotel premises.

Eyewitnesses further alleged that the situation worsened after others connected to the individuals involved joined the confrontation, turning the verbal exchange into a physical clash.
