We’ll resist Kanu’s re-arrest, MASSOB vows

The Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign state of Biafra (MASSOB), Sunday vowed to resist any attempt by the federal government to re-arrest the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, (IPOB) Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and other principal leaders of Biafra agitation. 
In a release issued by its leader, Uchenna Madu, and National Secretary, Ugwuoke Ibem Ugwuoke, which was made available to newsmen in Abakaliki, the group said that it that the plan cannot work as the entire people of Biafra will fight against such move.
The statement partly read: “This subtle and smart plan of Buhari led Nigeria is a sign of frustration and jittery. These plans will never work as MASSOB and the entire people of Biafra will squarely resist it.
“We warned that no harm should befall Mazi Nnamdi Kanu as he represents the genuine interest of Ndigbo. He is the most celebrated Igbo man today. The introduction of Biafra Security Service is not for any confrontation or violence with security agents. There is no intention or plan to involve violence or arms struggle into Biafra actualization and restoration struggle.
“Even in the face of persecution, blackmails, verbal deceit and political delusions of Hausa/Fulani people, we shall continue to maintain our non violence posture. Biafra spirit can never be intimidated or subjected to mere propaganda or blackmails. Biafra agitators can never be intimidated by threats of arrest and imprisonment” the statement concluded.

Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom at the banquet hall of the Government House in Makurdi on Monday announced that he is no longer with the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Ortom stated this while swearing in the newly appointed Special Adviser on Local Government and Cheftaincy Affairs, Jerome Torshimbe, disclosing that the APC had given him ‘red card’ to quit party. Confirming the development to DAILYPOST on Monday, the governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Terver Akase, quoted the governor as saying that, “As for party, I’ve been given the red card and I’m now outside the pitch. So, if I have been given the red card and I’m standing outside, that means I’m a free man.” The Governor is yet to disclose his new found political party, but has, however, noted that as soon as he makes up his mind in that regard, he would make it known to the Benue people. “I don’t know what will happen next, but I’m waiting. If others approach me, then I will tell the Benue pe

NIGERIA: We have lost it completely as a country — Obi  The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has said that all Nigeria needed to do now was to seek men of vision and proven track record to wake her from stupor.   Obi spoke yesterday at the 2018 Making Nigeria Great conference organised by the Summit Bible Church in Abuja. Ex-governor of Anambra state, Mr. Peter Obi Obi who looked at the trajectory of the development of   Nigeria from 1980 till now bemoaned Nigeria’s backwardness.    Comparing it to a car with knocked engine, he   insisted the engine must be fixed first even before the question of who drives it should arise. “To make Nigeria great is a welcome development which Nigerians are called to work towards. However,   we must at all times recognise where we are and what should be done. In our own case, we have lost it completely as a country.  The idea of greatness is good, but we must start from doing basic things,  Obi said. Other speakers at the

I have not defected from PDP, says Atiku

-
Atiku Abubakar Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has said that he is still in the Peoples Democratic Party, urging his followers to disregard a rumor that he has defected to another party. Atiku, who defected from PDP to the All Progressives Congress in 2014, but returned to the PDP early this year, asked his supporters to ignore the rumour. A statement from his campaign office in Abuja on Sunday said the defection rumour was not true. The defection rumour had claimed that Atiku had picked a former Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, Prof. Charles Soludo, as his running mate on the ticket of the All Progressives Grand Alliance. But the Sunday statement described the report as “a malicious attempt to confuse the public” about the aspiration of Atiku ahead of the forthcoming presidential primaries election of the PDP. It said, “For avoidance of any doubts, Atiku remains the front-line aspirant for the presidential ticket of the PDP. “In the past two month
