Elegy: May God Deliver Wike from Demon of Anger, Dele Momodu Prays for Rivers Gov

Published

on

By Eric Elezuo

The Director of Strategic Communications of the Atiku/Okowa Presidential Campaign Council, Chief Dele Momodu, has said the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, deserves pity and prayers, adding that he would continue to pray for him that God can deliver him from the demon of anger, which according to him, presently possessed the governor.

Speaking via his verified Instagram handle, Momodu revealed that nearly one year since the Rivers Governor lost his bid to win the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, he has remained embittered, inconsolable and continues to sulk.

The Ovation Media Group Chief Executive Officer chided the governor, stressing that he is a control freak, who is not in the habit of listening to a second opinion.

While acknowledging that Wike was a brilliant’ administrator, Momodu lamented that he had a sad and unfortunate end as a result of his uncontrolled anger and desire to always control people, adding that Peter Obi, that he ‘stylistically intimidated out of PDP’, and who went ahead to become the presidential candidate of the Labour Party (LP) has even gained more relevance than him at the present.

Read Momodu’s statement in full:

Nearly one year after GOVERNOR NYESOM WIKE lost the PDP Presidential Primary election, he remains inconsolable and continues to sulk endlessly… As his big Brother who loves him so much, I will continue to offer him prayers so that God can deliver him fully from this demon of ANGER.

WIKE truly deserves our pity and prayers. He is a hardworking man who suffers from several afflictions like many mortals: the chief of which is Rabid anger. He is a control freak who expects everyone to bow and tremble before him no matter your age or influence in society. Sometimes, when God has been so kind to a man, he may begin to see himself as God.
WIKE is gloating that ATIKU lost the election, the process of which is still ongoing. But WIKE lost his own election since last year and he is yet to recover. WIKE is happy that DR IYORCHIA AYU is no longer our National Chairman. Oh, but despite his attacks against the gentleman, WIKE’s power and wealth couldn’t remove him. Only cowards mock the “dead” in battle. Like a suicide bomber, WIKE terminated the dreams of three of his Governor friends, in his war of attrition. So what exactly did he gain? He said I did not win any vote but we both lost, yet he wasted billions of state resources on pursuing a dream he couldn’t achieve. I remain a journalist without borders, while he continues to oppress his hapless and seemingly helpless victims in Rivers State. Even the PETER OBI that he stylistically intimidated out of PDP is far more relevant today. ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR remains a global statesman in politics and in business. And he still can’t do without the ARISE NEWS that he pretends to hate so much.

What is there to gloat about?

WIKE will know life better after May 29, 2023, no matter what position he occupies thereafter. No one would ever trust him. He will be viewed with suspicion and derision. He may become the first Governor Emeritus to live in the Government House with the new Governor or move the Governor into his own Guest chalet for the sole purpose of signing documents. It is the way the cookie crumbles. What a sad end to a brilliant career!! Very unfortunate.

US Polls: Tinubu, UK PM Starmer Congratulate Trump

Published

By

President Bola Tinubu has extended his heartfelt congratulations to President Donald Trump on his re-election as the 47th President of the United States of America.

A statement by Special Adviser to the President (Information & Strategy), Bayo Onanuga on Wednesday, said President Tinubu looks forward to strengthening the relations between Nigeria and the United States amid the complex challenges and opportunities of the contemporary world.

Donald Trump claimed victory on Wednesday and pledged to “heal” the country as results put him on the verge of beating Kamala Harris in a stunning White House comeback.

President Tinubu said: “Together, we can foster economic cooperation, promote peace, and address global challenges that affect our citizens.”

According to President Tinubu, Trump’s victory reflects the trust and confidence the American people have placed in his leadership. He congratulates them on their commitment to democracy.

President Tinubu believes that, given President Trump’s experience as the 45th president of the United States from 2017 to 2021, his return to the White House as the 47th president will usher in an era of earnest, beneficial, and reciprocal economic and development partnerships between Africa and the United States.

Acknowledging the United States’ influence, power, and position in determining the trend and course of global events, the Nigerian leader trusts that President Trump will bring the world closer to peace and prosperity.

Meanwhile, the British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, has congratulated Donald Trump on his “historic election victory”, adding that the UK-US special relationship would “continue to prosper”.

“As the closest of allies, we stand shoulder to shoulder in defence of our shared values of freedom, democracy and enterprise. From growth and security to innovation and tech, I know that the UK-US special relationship will continue to prosper on both sides of the Atlantic for years to come,” he said.

Again, Atiku Addresses Nigerians, Insists Tinubu’s Devoid of Coherent Plan, a Novice

Published

on

By

Former Vice President of Nigeria, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has again written on the woes of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, saying the president is bereft of coherent plan to run the nation.

The Waziri Adamawa made this position, and made others known in a statement he personally signed. He noted that from every decision Tinubu has taken since Assumption of Office, it’s obvious that he is a novice.

The former Vice President wrote:

I have taken note of the initial responses highlighting the striking disparity between President Tinubu’s faltering economic policies and the alternatives I have proposed. It is exciting to witness such a vigorous debate on these critical matters, and I sincerely hope that this discourse will ultimately benefit Nigeria and its citizens.

Like many fellow Nigerians, I firmly believe that we find ourselves in this current economic turmoil due to the Tinubu administration’s hasty ascent to power, devoid of a coherent plan.

In stark contrast, my team not only devised a comprehensive Recovery Plan, but also welcomed significant input from Nigerians, ensuring that our approach was inclusive and well-considered.

Isn’t it fascinating how the so-called “tested” Tinubu administration’s only policy response seems to be a national prayer led by the First Lady and the NSA? Just a mere 24 hours after I proposed my alternative solutions! What a bold strategy! 🤣

In my humble interpretation of the scriptures, prayer indeed serves as a noble path to follow. However, the sacred texts also counsel us to engage in diligent labour and hard work.

It is therefore uncharitable for Tinubu’s team to claim that my proposals remain untested. What remains unproven is the erratic, trial-and-error nature of the policies so far implemented by this administration, which elucidates our present predicament.

Let us not forget that under our economic stewardship between 1999-2003, Nigeria soared to the pinnacle of Africa’s economies, while their administration has relegated us to a disheartening fourth position.

The average GDP rate under the Obasanjo administration that I served in was 6.59% and peaked at 15% in 2002; 7.98% under the late Yar’Adua administration and 4.8% under Jonathan compared to the dismal 2.8% of the so-called “tested” Tinubu era. Enough of the pains of the shambolic “bolekaja” economic policy prescriptions!

We cannot hope to tax our way out of the economic quagmire wrought by these misguided experimental policies of a novice administration. Numerous nations, such as the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Monaco (an EU territory with a zero-income tax policy), among many others, have emerged as economic powerhouses by fostering growth through lower taxation. Why then are we fixated on inflicting further hardship upon an already struggling populace?

One can only speculate that Tinubu’s government is anchored to a mere Tea-plan, which can only lead to a T-pain.

Furthermore, let me emphasize that the citizens who cast their votes in the 2023 presidential election are well aware that I did not lose; rather, we find ourselves in this predicament because the election was criminally stolen from the Nigerian people.

Vice President of Nigeria (1999-2007) and Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (2023)
