Bola Tinubu

Colonel Tony Nyiam (rtd) who is a chieftain of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO) has said that the late Moshood Abiola’s son, Kola Abiola, got it wrong in his statement regarding his father’s relationship with Chief Bola Tinubu.

Kola had reportedly said that Tinubu made some demands from former military head of state, General Sani Abacha, to be made administrator, deputy administrator and commissioner in Lagos state. The Nation reports that Nyiam said Kola should be grateful to Tinubu for his commitment to the political struggle. He said that even though he has parted ways with Tinubu, he would still not fail to tell the truth about the role played by the national leader of the All Progressives Congress.

He said: “Let me begin by saying this: guided by good conscience,and intuition-led reasoning which proceeds therefrom, I will begin with this warning: no matter the temptation we are being tempted with, let no one be as ungrateful to another who sacrificed almost his existential life to work for the persons directly or his immediate family as Chief Kola Abiola has recently done to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“In spite of my personal disappointment with Asiwaju, I cannot be a witness to Kola Abiola’s ungratefulness to the lowest depth. We need to set the record straight.
It is noteworthy to see that I have for over four years distanced myself from my hitherto close friend, Asiwaju. Those who are close to Asiwaju and my humble self know that.

“Chief Kola Abiola’s questioning of the integrity of Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s early support forhis father, Chief MKO Abiola, on doubtful demand from Gen. Sani Abacha is completely unnecessary and so uncalled for. To what end is Kola’s negative observation directed? Who is Kola Abiola trying this lie to give comfort to?”

“It was actually at Kola Abiola’s father, Chief MKO Abiola’s instance that I was first introduced to Tinubu. Chief MKO was full of praises for Senator Bola Tinubu and said that I and Tinubu will work well together.
“All these happened in Chief MKO Abiola’s London home. It was in the presence of the former Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) chairman, the late Alao Aka-Bashorun. This was when MKO flew to London to re-energise his international connection.
“Like MKO had commended Senator Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s role in support of June 12 cause, apart from Prof. Wole Soyinka, who contributed through his leadership of NALICON and gave us a link to the leaders of Norway, Canada, followed by Gen. Alani Akinrinade and, of course,the leader of all of us, Chief Anthony Enahoro, no one else had more contributions than Asiwaju.”

The NADECO chieftain recalled that Tinubu sold some of his properties to fund the pro-democracy movement. He said he witnessed Tinubu selling his London property for the struggle.

“In fact, the last one he sold was the one which his uncle, Wale Tinubu’s father and former Police Commissioner, gave him to manage while he was on exile,” he said.
According to him, Tinubu funded his trips to meet with Y. Museveni in Uganda; to take advantage of MKO’s goodwill.
“Tinubu was reliable during the pro-democracy action against Gen. Sani Abacha’s dictatorial rule. That reliability is unchallengeable. If you doubt me, you can ask the present governor of Ekiti. Most of the funding for Radio Kudirat came from Tinubu through Ola Soyinka,son of Prof. Wole Soyinka And I can say that Tinubu’s other son can also bear witness to that.

“The internationally eminent professor, Segun Gbadegesin, can testify to Tinubu’s support for those operations in the United States of America” he added.

Daniel Edoreh aka Dannyello on Kala debut

By ABEL JOHNGOLD ORHERUATA

Popularly known as Dannyello, Daniel Edoreh, a 200 level Mechanical Engineering student of the Federal University of Petroleum Engineering (FUPRE), Effurun, is set to thrill music lovers with something fresh as he drops his first single, “Kala”, on April 29.

Music critics at the pre-launch say “Kala” is a an inviting Afropiano and sing-along music with an emotionally deep universal message both in lyrics, melody, chorus and instrumentation targetted at helping humanity recover the value of love

“My mission is not just to take African music to the world but to bring the world over to African Music,” Dannyello says.

“Kala is an expression of the general deep emotion we all feel in relationships and the pains and depression we suffer when we are hurt in love.

“There are breakups everyday because we now live in a world in which great human values are getting lost, increasingly, and love is now priced only in material terms.

“So, the message of “Kala” is to remind the world that love still matters and to encourage humans to be a little more patient and considerate with one another in relationships and not so freely be stabbing hearts. We need to realise that true peace and happiness is found love.”

From Delta State, born in Lagos on November 27, 2001 and bred in Surulere, Dannyello attended CMS Grammar School, Bariga, from where he proceeded to the Federal University of Petroleum Engineering, Effurun, Delta State.

The second in a family of five sons, Dannyello’s musical experience dates back to as early as when he was 5 years old when his parents brought home a keyboard and a violin and, by age 6, he started playing musical instruments for his local parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, participating in several musical competitions and bagging high positions as a keyboardist.

To improve on his music, he took to self learning on the Internet and soon began to enter Instagram freestyles and beat challenges in which he won a couple.

That boosted his confidence and made him put in more work into developing his craft.

The first time he ever entered a studio was in 2016.

 

“It was a big challenge, not because I was not used to performing before a crowd but because I was used to performing mostly only as a keyboardist.

In his words, “I see music as the print of identity. Music is like expressing a part of one’s self in rhythms, melodies and lyrics that come from the depth of the heart.”

Dannyello admires a number of popular and trendy artistes like Davido, Alpha P, Koffee, Tems, Burna Boy and more and, most likely, these will influence his music as he hits the broadway.

Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Frontline gubernatorial aspirant for Delta State in 2023, Olorogun David Edevbie, has noted that there’s no comparison between him and other aspirants jostling for the governorship position in the State, because he was privileged to be appointed into government as a youth.

 

Edevbie stated this in Asaba last week at a consultation visit to Anioma Congress held at the Palace of the Asagba of Asaba, which had the Asagba, Prof. Chike Edozie, traditional rulers in Delta North and top business men stakeholders in attendance.

He disclosed that the privileged of being appointed as a youth gave him an edge over other aspirants because the appointment gave him the privileged to learn from his then older colleagues which includes Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, Deputy President of the Senate Ovie OmoAgege, immediate past Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan, Ighoyota Amori, Sen. James Manager amongst others.

 

He said when elected, he would give proper attention to Youths because they have not been allowed to express themselves which means something was wrong.

The widely tipped to win the PDP guber primaries noted that youths came out to participate during ENDSARS protest because they weren’t seeing the future for them.

“We need to give them hope. I was privileged to learn from my elder colleagues as youthful commissioner of finance so they too need to come into government to the act of governance”. He added.

 

On the challenges of delaying pensioners benefits, Edevbie, who admitted that a lot of people retired without being paid pension, promised prompt payment of pension as at when due when elected.

The immediate past Chief of Staff to Delta State Government who asked for prayers for good health, long life, wisdom and resources from the Traditional Rulers and elders of Anioma Congress noted that without cooperating with the traditional rulers, achieving meaningful results in governance will be difficult.

The state Commissioner for Higher Education Professor Patrick Muoboghare has said that Universities in Delta State would not embark on solidarity strike with the Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU.

Professor Muoboghare stated this while speaking in a weekly live programme, Let’s Talk Education, on the Voice of Delta FM Asaba.

He said Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has been consistent in paying lecturers and staff of Universities their allowances, which formed the basis of the ASUU strike, hence the state Government would direct it’s resources on other developmental projects, rather than solidarity strike.

The Commissioner noted that every University ought to know their pay masters and hold them accountable, adding that in Delta state, polytechnics and Universities have since resumed academic activities in all fields, because the state Government was not owing them.

He however appealed to the Federal Government to quickly listen to the demands of ASUU and renegotiate the welfare package for University workers in line with current realities, while also calling on governors of the various states to do the needful, so that the backlash would not affect Delta state.

Professor Muoboghare said the Governor has good intentions for the academic sector, hence had approved salary subvention for the three new universities in the state, granted them approval to fill vacancies without coming to Asaba, after giving a clear directive that none of the already existing staff should lose their jobs, except those who opted out.

He said the three new universities in the state were autonomous, adding that Government will not be held responsible in the event of any strike to disrupt it’s academic activities.

The Higher Education Commissioner said Education at any level remained a joint venture involving the teacher parents and students, and all hands should be on deck to move the education sector forward.

It would be recalled that ASUU embarked on a one-month warning strike on February 14 and extended it to another two months at the expiration of the warning strike over the alleged failure of the government to address their demands.

Okowa begins destruction of Delta State

As Deltans wake up today, Monday, April 11, they will be going about their businesses, but underneath, something terrible is about to happen.

In the desperation to impose his thug on the state PDP, he and Kingsley Esiso, the state chairman has instructed some leaders across the state to launch a fake process for the nomination of ad-hoc delegates for the primaries.

Back in the various local government the criminal leaders who don’t mean well for Delta state are to gather the ward executives of the party away from their communities and into various hotels, homes and holes to force them to sign off on a declaration that a congress has been duly held in their wards from which some predetermined ad-hoc delegates emerged and they will submit the list to Asaba between Tuesday and Wednesday.

This violates the provision of Chapter 8 (50)(3) of PDP party constitution which says ad-hoc delegates shall be elected from a congress of the wards with the full participation of members of the party at the wards.

The constitutional provision is to ensure that the people truly and fully participate in the process of choosing their representatives and delegates but here is Okowa playing smart to mislead the party, destroy internal democracy and usurp the peoples power by fooling Deltans.

While he lies about ensuring free and fair primaries he is doing something opposite which will lead to destruction of the party and destruction of peace in Delta state.

Okowa forgets that he who sows the wind shall reap the whirlwind.
