Rivers State AAC Deputy Governorship Candidate withdraws from the 2019 Governorship Election, defects to the PDP.

The Rivers  State Deputy Governorship  Candidate of the African Action Congress (AAC) , Chief Akpo Bomba Yeeh has withdrawn  from the 2019 Rivers State Governorship Election , defecting to the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP).

Addressing journalists at his home in Port Harcourt on Monday, Chief Yeeh  said the reason for his decision  is for him  to join hands with  Governor Wike to move Rivers State forward.

He said: "After  due consultations with my immediate family,  friends and supporters,  I Chief Akpo Bomba Yeeh,  the Deputy Governorship of the AAC for the 2019 Governorship election hereby resign my membership of the AAC and announce my defection to the PDP to join hands with Governor Wike to move the state forward ".

He added: "I was the Deputy  Governorship Candidate of the AAC in Rivers State up till today 25th March, 2019 , when I decided to withdraw my candidature and resign  from the party with immediate effect.

"The  March 9 , Governorship election in Rivers State has been lost and won; lost by my party, African Action Congress (AAC) and its Candidate,  Engineer Biokpomabo Awara and undoubtedly and overwhelmingly won by the Governor of Rivers State, the candidate of PDP,  Nyesom Ezenwo Wike ".

He said that despite the interference of the security agencies,  Rivers people  stood their ground and voted for Governor Wike.

He said: "The collated results further showed that contrary to the false claim  of fictitious lead by the AAC/APC alliance,  the PDP overwhelmingly won  all  the elections  in 18 out of the 19 LGAs,  culminating in the declaration and return of the party 26 House of Assembly Constituencies by the Constituency Returning Officers.

"This fact was confirmed on the 13th of March 2019, when INEC stated, as a matter of fact,  that it had in it's safe custody collated results for 17 Local Government Areas as well as the declaration of the PDP Candidates for 21 State Constituencies.

"The outcome of the elections on March 9, 2019 clearly showed the preference of the people of Rivers State.  Even the blind can see and the deaf  can hear the echo  that Rivers people overwhelmingly  voted to stick  with Governor Wike for the next four years to encourage him to continue with the good works".

The Former Deputy Governorship Candidate of the AAC informed that the Minister of Transportation forced him to sign an un-dated letter of resignation to be effective  after  their expected inauguration.

"I was forced to sign an un-dated letter of  resignation as the Deputy Governor of Rivers State to pave way for Rotimi Amaechi to nominate another person as Deputy Governor.

"These were slavish conditions for any rational politician worth his name to accept,  but I pretended to play along because  doing otherwise at that time would have been too dangerous for the safety of my life, given Rotimi Amaechi's desperation to remove Governor Wike from office and install his stooge in the person of Engr Awara against all odds".

He said that though  the AAC Campaign was never serious and never campaigned  for the office of the position of Governor of Rivers State,  Amaechi during the adoption of the party, said that he would fund the elections and do everything  under the sun to give AAC victory  at the polls.

He said: "Amaechi  disclosed to us that he had already assembled security personnel drawn from the Nigerian Army,  the Police,  DSS and FSARS to provide adequate security cover and enablement for members of the AAC and APC to effectively rig the Governorship election and have us declared as winners on March 9  , 2019".

He stated that the adoption and promise to deliver AAC was with conditions that conferred de facto governance on  the Minister of Transportation,  Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

Chief Yeeh outlined the conditions: "First, he (Amaechi) must be the one to appoint 90 percent of all political office holders,  including  commissioners, Special Advisers,  and chairmen and members of Government Agencies and parastatals.

"Second,  he must be the one to nominate and produce all the 23 Local Government Council Chairmen  and other principal officers of the councils.

"We, that is, Engr Awara and my humble self must consult and take instructions from him on all financial,  policy and fiscal matters, as well as award and payment of all contracts and other financial transactions upon inauguration as Governor and Deputy Governor of the state".

He added: "As a practicing Christian,  I have come to the conclusion that the actions and desperate attempts by Amaechi and the AAC/APC alliance to rig the Governorship and State Assembly elections in Rivers State are both morally and legally wrong, reprehensible and inimical to the collective interest of the people of Rivers State.

"The Almighty God will not forgive me if I continue to lend my support  to Rotimi Amaechi's perfidy against the democratic rights of the people of Rivers State to freely elect their own leaders ".

He condemned  the Minister of Transportation for unleashing violence on Rivers people in his failed attempt to rig the 2019 Rivers Governorship election.

The Former Deputy Governorship Candidate of AAC stated that he has informed Engr Awara in writing of his withdrawal and resignation from the Governorship race and the AAC.

APC, Buhari's Fraudulent Victory Will Be Terminated Very Soon - Bukola Saraki.

In his words, “This victory that APC has seen is going to be short lived. If anybody believes that it is a loss to PDP, it is a loss to the country that history will not forgive.”

“We said it many times here, that the worst to do is to do an election that as a country Nigeria will not be proud of.

“We have done an election that no doubt anybody and even those that think they have won are ashamed of the kind of election that we did.

“I think it is a shame to the country and to those that were given that responsibility to do. They have Saturday as their last opportunity to try as much as possible to reclaim part of their embarrassment to the country.

“How can a country like Nigeria, as the speaker said, Ghana has done it, even Congo, even Zimbabwe have done elections. And we say we do elections, with seven inconclusive. We did elections before, in 2015, we did it in 2011, 1999 and after so many years, this is what we can produce.

“It is not a loss to the PDP, it is to the country. It just shows the level of desperation. I have confidence that this will be shortlived and as such let us ensure on Saturday, that these five states that are ours remain within the PDP and INEC should for once do what is right.

“We have a great future ahead and I believe we will start that on Saturday to make sure that we defend those five states that are declared inconclusive,” Mr Saraki said.

Sanwo-Olu gives reasons for building collapse in Lagos.

Lagos state Governor-elect, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has explained why the Lagos island area of the state is experiencing the issues of building collapse in recent times.
According to him, the incessant building collapse can be attributed to advance in years the affected building was constructed.

The Governor-elect who described the incident as unfortunate noted that Lagos island is a part of the old colony of Lagos saying it’s not unexpected to see houses that are over a century old. “Building collapse is an unfortunate thing, extremely very unfortunate. You know Lagos it’s a part of the old colony of Lagos, so it’s not unexpected to see houses that are over a century old and in those numbers, we need to be sincere to ourselves and we need to be real. “We know that with a mega city of our status, it comes with a lot of challenges but we are lucky that we have been part of it before now and we are excited that the solutions we are bringing up – that we’ve identified on the campaign trail will very quickly, be able to bring about positive development that will improve the quality of lives and ease all of the challenges that we currently have in Lagos." Sanwo-Olu, who spoke with journalists at the State House, Abuja, after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari, said Lagos state needs regeneration to address the incessant cases of building collapse. “When you want to take people’s properties and you want to regenerate, they must first see a sincerity of purpose – what are the additional plans that you have for them? Before you could regenerate, there must be a stop gap – in the next two to three years what are the plans you have for them? And you need to do what we call proper enumeration.

French court convicts Koffi Olomide for rape of 15-year-old dancer.

A French court on Monday handed Congolese singer Koffi Olomide a two-year suspended prison sentence for the statutory rape of one of his former dancers when she was 15.

Olomide went on trial after four former dancers claimed he sexually assaulted them several times between 2002 and 2006. The assaults allegedly happened in the Democratic Republic of Congo as well as in France, including at a villa outside Paris where the women said they were held against their will.

The dancers said they managed to make a night-time escape from the villa in June 2006, and have not returned to their country since for fear of reprisals.
Prosecutors at his trial in Nanterre, outside Paris, had sought a seven-year prison sentence but the court dismissed the assault and kidnapping charges.
