'Rivers people didn't make mistakes voting Fubara' - Group tells Wike

The group contended that the ex-governor of Rivers state has been unappreciative in his actions post-office.

New Rivers Agenda, a non-governmental organisation, has come forward to criticise the previous governor, Nyesom Wike, for his role in the recent political deadlock that has been plaguing the region.

In a press release endorsed by its leader, Johnson Zinaka, the group expressed that the local population views Siminalayi Fubara's appointment as the new governor of Rivers State positively.

The group said, "We all know what the crisis is about in the state. It is about the greed of an individual elected to play God in the affairs of the state. The former governor, Nyesom Wike, is bitter because Governor Siminalayi Fubara has the interest of the people at heart in the development of the state.

"What the Rivers people experienced in the eight years of Nyesom Wike can be best described as years of intimidation, oppression, and harassment. Under Wike, it's either his way or the highway. He was such a brutal man who cornered the resources of the state for himself and his cronies."

The group contended that the ex-governor of Rivers state has been unappreciative in his actions post-office.

They stated that the people of Rivers decided to elect Sim Fubara as governor, citing significant progress in state development under his leadership.

Additionally, the group claimed that the former governor is anxious about a potential investigation into his eight-year administration of the State.

Recall that a contentious dispute has arisen between Governor Sim Fubara and Nyesom Wike, the state's ex-governor, regarding control of the state's political framework.

This conflict escalated as the state House of Assembly initiated impeachment proceedings against the governor, who fiercely resisted the action.

EFCC insists on presentation of Grace Tiaga's death certificate in P&ID case

Tiaga's counsel communicated the unavailability of the death certificate, requesting additional time. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is steadfast in its demand for the death certificate of the late Grace Tiaga, a former director of legal services at the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, to be submitted in court. Tiaga faced charges brought by the EFCC, alleging her involvement in receiving payments from Process & Industrial Development (P&ID) to manipulate the 20-year gas supply and processing agreement (GSPA) against Nigeria. The EFCC claims that these illicit payments were made through her daughter and persisted even after her retirement. The accusations extend to Tiaga's purported failure to adhere to due process while providing legal counsel on the GSPA. Initially facing eight counts of fraud, she was remanded to Suleja prison in 2019, later granted bail, and the charges were expanded to 13 counts. As the trial progressed, the prosecution p

Buhari: Keyamo says recession started in 2014, not under President

He said the economic conditions that led to the recession in 2016 actually started in 2014 under another government. The spokesperson for the President Muhammadu Buhari Campaign Organisation, Festus Keyamo, has cautioned Nigerians against blaming the president for the period of recession experienced under its administration because it started before he assumed office. Even though Nigeria slipped into its worst recession in 29 years after a 2.06% contraction in the economy between April and June 2016, a year after Buhari's inauguration, Keyamo said the economic decay had been set in motion by the previous government.   While speaking on Channels Television on Monday, May 28, 2018, Keyamo said Nigeria would have been in a worse shape if Buhari had not been elected to arrest the economic slide with his two-pronged approach of investing in infrastructure and diversifying the economy. He said, "I think this government should be judged by the numbers and not by emotions; and
