“Leave Sen. Kashamu Alone” APW Warns NDLEA

The Association of Parliamentary Writers APW has warned the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA to leave Sen. Buruji Kashamu alone.
The association made this known in a press statement to newsmen in Abuja yesterday stressing that any attempt by the NDLEA to arrest Sen. Kashamu or abduct him will be met with dire consequences which the agency will not find easy.
The statement signed by Barr. Kingsley Eze Frank said it will be an abuse of due process for the anti-narcotics agency to arrest or abduct the Senator representing Ogun East senatorial District using whatever guise. It said considering the fact there is a subsisting Federal High Court judgment against the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA from arresting the senator and a Senate directive that also restrained the NDLEA from arresting him, “the agency will be acting against instructions and order of legitimate institutions of state by arresting or abducting a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for whatsoever reason.
The APW describes Sen. Buruji Kashamu as man of peace and a patriotic Nigerian who has given his best for the growth and development  of the country and should not be ridiculed or sacrificed in the alter of unwarranted politicking. It urged political enemies of the Senator to wait till 2019 if they so wish to remove him from office stressing that going through the back door will do them no good.
The association called on the Federal Government to call the NDLEA to order and to direct the security agencies to take the threat alarm of the Senator seriously. “the country has been embroiled in a lot of security issues which has done the image of the country no good. Abducting or assassinating a serving senator of the Federal Republic who has lots of dependents will send a very wrong signal to the international community no matter what those planning such heinous activity are wont to achieve.
It said it will employ all available legal and legitimate means to drive home its message to the narcotics agency. It said it is imperative that the NDLEA go about its duties without using the agency as a platform to witch-hunt innocent Nigerians or engage in unnecessary political bickerings. “Nigerians are becoming suspicious of the activities of the NDLEA in recent times especially as regards Sen. Kashamu. We will not relent in employing legitimate and legal steps towards ensuring that the agency does not go beyond its bounds” the statement added.

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...
