AKWA IBOM APC FORGERY MADE PUBLIC


We don't break news at Jabborro, on this channel; we concentrate on researching and analysing straight news, in order to have meaty features. But we feel committed to people who read us, to air our opinion on this very news this early. The Akwa Ibom APC guber ticket is finally being threatened with revelations emerging few minutes ago concerning the news of their Governorship aspirant Mr Umana Umana's running mate, Mr Benedict E Ukpong, committing perjury by lying to Nigeria on oath, that he had resigned from his paid job, to run for election.

According to news broken by Thisday and carried immediately by, interestingly, J J Omojuwa, the same blogger alleged to have received cash to write against everything Pdp in Nigeria and Akwa Ibom, Mr. Ukpong has been collecting his monthly salary and allowances from his First Bank account from September 2014 to June 2015 as a staff of the Federal Capital Development Agency (FCDA).

By this act, Mr Ukpong has violated Section 187 (1) of the 1999 Constitution that provides that: “In any election to which the foregoing provisions of this part of this chapter relate, candidate for the office of governor of a state shall not be deemed to have been validly nominated for such office unless he nominates another candidate as his associate for his running for the office of governor, who is to occupy the office of deputy governor,” which renders his candidature illegal.

Section 187 (2) of the 1999 Constitution further stipulates that, “The provisions of this part of this chapter relating to qualification for election, tenure of the office, disqualifications, declaration of assets and liabilities and the oath of governor shall apply in relation to the office of deputy governor as if references to governor were references to deputy governor". Therefore, says Thisday, whatever disqualifies a deputy governorship candidate equally affects the governorship candidate.

Quoting Omojuwa; "Interested parties are already raising issues of constitutionality, morals and ethical matters against Effiong, who is also considered to have committed perjury, because he had told the world under oath, that he had fully resigned his employment with FCDA"

I had no personal grouse against APC until they commenced their hyperbolic publicity campaign of blackmail and lies against Pdp, a party that had all the resources, but chose to spend miserly (or imprudently) on publicity. It started with whipping up sentiments in their support and ended up painting political opponents in black - to shocking extremes of defamation; all the time presenting themselves as Nigeria's saviours. They succeeded in overthrowing the then ruling party, with public support. They were so popular all over the world that Akwa Ibom people had to keep reminding themselves of their heartbreaking stretch of history with Umana Umana to keep them from being carried along with the Apc spear campaign. 

APC's offence is as follows: If they claim Pdp is corrupt, they have to exonerate themselves of corruption first, for Truth can never be established using Lies and you cannot be canonized by blackmailing another. On this note, Nigerians who are still awaiting actual CHANGE, should be hoping that Akwa Ibom APC will act sensibly and look inwards, away from public deception.

Chile 2015: What Happens To The World When Eagles Flock

Uduak Umo Eagles don’t flock. But not Emmanuel Amuneke’s boys at the FIFA Under 17 World Cup holding at Chile. These ones field one of the youngest squads; play with a deadly combination of energy, appetite and intellect. With the sharpest attack edge in the tournament, the most painstaking midfield, an amazingly brave and athletic goalie, a shaky defence unit notwithstanding, this Nigerian Golden Eaglets prove the danger when Eagles flock. Announcing Prospect Soccer is like a religion in Nigeria. And it wouldn’t be out of place to say that the English Premier league only began to gain significant followership in Nigeria when Nigerians ran out of patience for the national teams and local clubs following decay in the administration of the game in the country. In the last decade and more, Nigerians have been deprived the joy of watching their national teams dominate the world. Hence, publicity for Chile 2015 in Nigeria was met with sad indifference. The people no longer i...
