''You Are A Godly Man'' Leah Sharibu's Mother Tells OPM Founder

The mother of the remaining abducted Dapchi School girl Mrs. Rebecca Sharibu has told the Founder and General Overseer of the Omega Power Ministries OPM Apostle Chibuzor Chinyere that he is a real man of God. In a media interaction with our correspondent, the mother of Miss Leah Sharibu said words cannot describe how she felt about the concern the Port Harcourt based cleric has shown towards the plight of her daughter and her family since their ordeal began.

Miss Leah Sharibu refused to renounce her Christian faith for her release alongside her school mates leading to her continued abduction by the members of the Boko Haram sect. Mrs. Sharibu while pleading for her release, urged Nigerians to continue in their prayers for the release of her daughter stressing that life has never been the same since the abduction. ''We are facing an ugly nightmare which will come to past with the release of our daughter'' she said.

Mrs. Sharibu said she has not communicated with her daughter since the abduction but said she has the belief that her daughter will be released soon. ''I am confident that my daughter will be reunited with all of us and we will celebrate to the glory of God. The government has promised as you are aware that they are doing their best to ensure the timely release of Leah we cannot disclose everything but we are confident of her release because of the prayers but we are waiting for the government to fulfil their promise'' she told our correspondent.

On the role played by the Christian community she said the congregation of Christ all over the country as well as from outside the country have continued to show support for what the family is going through. I heard of what the Port Harcourt based man of God who is the General Overseer of the Omega Power Ministries is doing. I thank him and the OPM fold and pray that God Almighty continue to bless him and others that have shown support for us because it is never easy'' she said.

Meanwhile Nigerians have called on the Federal Government to show more commitment to the release of the detained Leah Sharibu. An official of the Red Cross Society of Nigeria (RCSN) told our correspondent that the quick release of the abducted school girl will make Nigerians have more faith in the administration's fight against insurgency and crime in the country.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body. As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...

Rivers Governmnet, PDP Disagree Over $280 million Looan

The Rivers State Government and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state are currently at loggerheads over the request by the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, for a $280m loan for water and sanitation projects. While the state PDP said that the latest request for loan by the state government was unnecessary due to the resources accruing to the state through the federal allocation and internally generated revenue, the government said it was not true that the funds were to be used for 2015 elections. The state House of Assembly had on Monday endorsed Amaechi’s request for loan for water supply and sanitation projects. But the state PDP, in a statement, signed by the Special Adviser to its Chairman, Mr. Jerry Needam, said the request for loan was aimed at punishing the governor’s successor in 2015. The party called on members of the House of Assembly, the Federal Ministry of Finance, the African Development Bank and the World Bank not to honour the loan re...

2019: Northern youths kick as Northwest APC lawmakers endorse Buhari

The leadership of the Arewa Youth Forum on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari does not deserve any endorsement for the 2019 presidency. Reacting to a purported endorsement by some serving All Progressives Congress’s lawmakers from the Northwest in Kaduna, the AYF’s National President, Alhaji Gambo Gujungu, said Buhari was not fit to return as president in 2019. The AYF argued that with the killing spree all over the country, especially in the North, Buhari should serve his mandatory four years term and quit the stage for another Northerner. Gujungu noted that one sour point about President Buhari’s 2019 ambition was his claim that the killings across the country were being carried out by “desperate politicians”, yet he had not arrested even a single suspect. The AYF president, therefore, said Nigerians should blame the president for the attacks on innocent citizens. The AYF boss who spoke to our correspondent on phone on Monday, said the President’s cl...
