Immediate past Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, on Monday said that
the Independent National Electoral Commission had yet to issue him with a
Certificate of Return as the Imo West senator-elect despite a federal High
Court’s judgment ordering the electoral umpire to do so.
Okorocha in a statement issued in Owerri, the state capital, by his media aide,
Sam Onwuemedo, said that the picture circulating online where Okorocha was
holding a Certificate of return was “fake”.
He said that Nigerians would be duly informed when INEC issues him
(Okorocha) his certificate of return.
The statement read partly, “The attention of the former governor of lmo State,
His Excellency Owelle Rochas Okorocha has been drawn to fake photo news
showing where he is holding what appears like a certificate purportedly issued
to him by INEC.
“The photograph in question expectedly has been trending on social media.
And we have been receiving calls from well-meaning Nigerians to that effect,
either congratulating the former governor or to confirm the authenticity of the
photo news.
“The truth is that the photograph is fake and didn’t emanate from us. On our
side, we don’t engage in awkward actions.
“When the former governor and the senator-elect for lmo West senatorial
District receives his certificate of Return, we will duly inform the general public.

PDP condemns closure of AIT and Ray Power, says its an attempt to gag the media

Press statement from the PDP The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemns, in its totality, the unrelenting attempt by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled federal government to cage the media as being witnessed in the ferocious attacks on Africa Independent Television (AIT) by government agencies, particularly the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC). The party says it is evident that the attack on AIT is targeted at intimidating and gaging the media, repress constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech and stifle public opinion, particularly as related to the determination by Nigerians to retrieve the stolen Presidential mandate at the tribunal. This clamp down on AIT as well as earlier siege on other media houses and journalists under the APC administration, ostensibly point to a plot to frighten and asphyxiate the media, shut down outlets perceived to hold dissenting views and ultimately foist a siege mentality on our citizenry to restrain their demand

POLITICS: FG Seizes Oil Blocs From Kola Abiola, Others

For five of Nigeria’s oil tycoons, it is a final goodbye to the oil blocs which they have sat on for so many years, turning into profitless, resourced- draining, debt-ridden, unproductive ventures on their watch. After many years of losing billions of Naira to joint ventures which were yielding little or nothing into the national treasury, the federal government finally declared enough is enough. As you read this, Summit Oil International, currently run by Kola Abiola, the eldest child of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential elections, MKO Abiola, has lost its rights to Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 206. The company had been groaning under heavy debt burden, rendering it incapable of developing the juicy oil field. It is currently fighting against a winding up petition instituted against it at the federal high court by Seistech Energy Company over an alleged failure to fulfil its contractual obligations. In the same boat are four other companies whose oi
