The Niger Delta Renaissance Organisation has accused former President Olusegun Obasanjo of attempting to incite Nigerians against the Present administration under President Muhammadu Buhari.
The group in a press statement signed by its National Coordinator Comrade Nwokoma Messiah and Director of Publicity Amakiri Christiana said comments credited to the former President recently in which he said education is the best way to tackle the Boko Haram insurgency and his criticism of former President Jonathan that the Niger Delta people will suffer is aimed at causing disaffection in the courty thereby inciting the citizens against the present administration.
It should be noted that the immediate past administration initiated an education programme to promote Alma Jiri education in the north an action that was criticized by a section of the people of the north. The group said Obasanjo by reminding Buhari of the need to emphasize education in the fight against Boko Haram, is attempting to box Buhari into a spot that will make him look like a President that is not interested in education as a way of developing the minds of northern youths. The group asked Obasanjo to show what he did in using education to liberate the northern youths from the shackles of religious bigotry while in power. “To criticize a serving administration is usually easy especially with the ilk of Obasanjo who forgot all what he is saying now while he was in power”. The group urged Obasanjo to remain silent the way a true statesman is expected to be. “We expect the former President whose administration failed this country greatly to behave like a true statesman by respecting the virtue of silence and speak when it is absolutely necessary” the group said.
On the statement credited to Chief Olusegun Obasanjo that the people of the Niger Delta region will suffer as a result of the actions and inactions of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan, the group said it is the height of mischief from someone of Obasanjo’s age and status.

The group warned the President to beware of Obasanjo whose urge and plan to head an interim government has not died. “With the way things are going today, it is very clear the ex-President is happy about it because if time is not taken, a strong crisis will brew up promoted by Obasanjo with the sole aim of actualizing his third term agenda through an interim government contraption” the group said.

Sen. Magnus Abe's Courageous Fight For Rivers Brick House

Ab e' Today Rivers people especially majority of faithful of the All Progressives Congress APC defied the heavy down pour in Port Harcourt to show solidarity for Sen. Magnus Abe and the direct primaries in the state which has been kicked against by the Rotimi Amaechi faction of the party in the state. This support which was massive and highly successful  buttressed the position of the over 148,000 people that caste  their votes on the direct primaries which held in the state on the 30th of September 2018. Rivers people on that   fateful day showed that they wanted the right man for the job in defiance of the foisting of an unknown candidate chosen from the blues to fly the flag of the party. The solidarity which the people of the state and APC members showed for the Ogoni born Senator has to be respected by the party unlike what is happening today where the party seems to be favouring the emergence of Tonye Cole all in the bid to please the former governor of t...
