Stop Lying- TSG cautions Bode George

The Tinubu Support Group(TSG)on Sunday cautioned a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), Chief Olabode George, to desist from fabricating lies against APC  National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

George, had in an interview with Arise TV on Friday  accused Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu of corruption in his tenure as Governor of Lagos State.

But the TSG in a statement issued by its Head of Media and Publicity, Oluwatosin Johnson, said the PDP chieftain is a “confused liar” as he lacks sense of history.

Oluwatosin said George’s criticisms of Tinubu were not based on any concrete facts but envy, jealousy and bad faith.

He said George became terribly envious of  Tinubu’s unending political achievements in the nation's space while he had remained an unproductive commodity in the Nigerian electoral market.

He added, “We are aware of the fact that Chief Bode George has no other passion than to get at Asiwaju  Bola Ahmed Tinubu at any  time.

"The gap between Asiwaju  and Chief Bode George in terms of political acceptance, leadership, achievements, followership, capacity, credibility etc is  huge  in favour of Asiwaju.

“ We want to remind Chief George that Asiwaju has never been convicted by any court of law but could the same be said of some people? ”.

The group while responding to Chief Bode George's claim that he would cease to be a Nigerian citizen if Asiwaju becomes President,  said " It is crystal clear how much you love your country through this cheap talk.

" For a man who left office over 14years ago and was never found corrupt by the 16 years of  PDP Govt and yet this old man will continue to use such gutter language without evidence shows his intelligence" he shouldn't be taken serious. 

" We are sure the day will come when Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu will assume that prestigious office and we know you will eat your word that day", The group concluded.

‘Bring the money from CBN’ — Gumi asks FG to pay for Greenfield students’ release

Ahmad Gumi, prominent Islamic cleric, has asked the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to pay the N100 million demanded by the abductors of Greenfield University students, Kaduna state. 

Several students were abducted on April 18 when gunmen attacked the school.

The kidnappers have since killed five of the students and threatened to kill 17 of them still in captivity if a ransom of N100 million and 10 motorcycles are not delivered to them.

Gumi who featured on Africa Independent Television (AIT) on Tuesday, had said no amount of money is too big to pay as ransom to get the students released.

“Five souls were killed. Why? What amount of money is too big for us to save the lives of those five students, what amount of money?” he had asked.

Reiterating his stance in an interview with PUNCH, Gumi called on the federal government to “bring the money” from the CBN.

“The money they are asking for is too much; if I give you that money, you cannot run away with it. Nobody can run. So, why not give them the money, they release the boys and then we pursue them and get our money back and do what is necessary; it is simple logic, ” he said.

“So, bring the money from the central bank. How can they move that money? We should not be stupid.

BREAKING: Mbaka reportedly missing – Ohanaeze raises alarm

Alarm over the whereabouts of the fiery Enugu priest, Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka has been raised 

The cleric of the Adoration Ministry, Enugu, has been in the news after he asked President Muhammadu Buhari to resign.

“Calls put to his mobile line have also remained unanswered; this has now prompted us to issue this alarm as we would not take it lightly should anything untoward happen to him.

“We are giving the Federal Government 48 hours to produce the priest, else they should be ready to face Igbo youths. They were dining and wining with him all along and now that he told the truth, they are no longer comfortable with him.

“Let nothing happen to Rev. Fr. Ejike Mbaka. It will not be in anybody’s interest,” the group warned.

Meanwhile, DAILY POST reached out to close aides of the Catholic Cleric but they declined comment, noting that the picture was not clear yet.

“Today is the Wednesday programme, ‘E no dey again’, if he don’t officiate, it will then be clear that something is wrong,” one of them said.

But a source who refused to be named disclosed that he was last seen yesterday, Tuesday, when he departed to honour an invitation by his Bishop.

DAILY POST also learnt that following the apprehension, all the youths of the ministry have been summoned to the Adoration 

Kogi Commissioner's Murder: Ajagun Sends Strong Message To Security Agents, Kogi Politicians

By Samuel OJ Temibi 

One time Yagba West Chairmanship Candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP), Comrade Ajagun Opeyemi Samuel has condemned the gruesome murder of Hon. Solomon Adebayo, otherwise known as Akeweje. 

Hon Solomon Adebayo, a Pension Board Commsioner was gun down by suspected Fulani herdsmen few days ago at Eruku on his way back from Ilorin, Kwara state, while Yagba West Council Chairman, Hon Pius Kolawole who was in the same car with the late Pension Commissioner was kidnapped and taken to unknown destination. 

Ajagun, in a chat with this reporter on Monday, said that the proliferation of criminal elements across Nigeria, especially in Kogi state and the untamed activities of these elements is a signal to note that Nigeria's leaders are no longer in charge.

He said that the security operatives must stand up and beam its search light on the perpetrators of the killing and kidnapping of the notable sons of Yagba Land. 

Ajagun, in an infuriated manner said that Nigerian politicians who are saddled with the primary onuse of ensuring the security of lives and properties have not only slumbered, but confused and lack the man power to mitigate the upsurge incidents of killings and kidnappings of the innocent citizens across the country. 

"This evil machination must stop, the security institution must stand up and defend the people before the country is thrown in a state of anarchy. This particular incident that happened in Yagba Land must be investigated to a reasonable conclusion and the perpetrators must not be spared at all"

Ajagun said that, although Kogi state governor, Yahaya Bello has continue to wage war against insecurity across the state, he must double his efforts at a time like this. 

While sending his condolence message to the family of late Hon Adebayo, Ajagun described the deceased person as a humble, intelligent and a fine young man who has dedicated his time and energy to the development of the state while he was alive. 

Ajagun wondered why people like the late Akeweje and an incumbent council chairman will be susceptible to Fulani's attacks. "If an incumbent local government chairman can be easily kidnapped just like that, what can we say of an ordinary farmer in the farm" he asked. 

He called on the state's commissioner of Police, Williams Ayade to lay siege on forests across Yagba Land and rescue the kidnapped chairman at the drop of a hat. 

"I want to specially call on Okun Development Association to partner with the relevant authorities in a bid to put a stop to the security mess across our land before it degenerate to another thing. The influx of Fulani herdsmen must be rejected by all, our representatives both at the state and federal levels must rise and speak up in our favour before we are all consumed. 

Ajagun said that he would make himself available in any activities that will see to the security of  his people in Okunland.
