Kogi state guber aspirant donates N25 million to APC House of Assembly candidates

Alhaji Yahaya Bello Chairman Kogi Youth Arise group and stalwart of All Progressive Congress (APC) assisted 25 APC Assembly Candidates with N25m Campaign Support.

Each of the 25 party candidates jostling for the April 11 House of Assembly seats in Kogi State with N1m.

Alhaji Bello, owner of Fair-plus International Ltd, also gave N.5m to each of the 21 local government coordinators of the Group, in addition to N5m and a 15-seater bus for the party secretariat.

He gave the financial assistance over the weekend in Lokoja where the candidates, coordinators and other party stakeholders converged at the instance of the Chairman to brainstorm on challenges during the March 28 elections and how to chart a new course for April 11.

He cautioned party supporters not to be carried away by what he described as the "’Buhari tsunami’’ which swept the March 28 Presidential and National Assembly elections in favour of the party, but replicate the feat or “even record 99 percent success in the April 11 elections.’’

The Chairman said the feat ‘’that an opposition party won elections in the state and at the national level’’ was a great encouragement for supporters to ensure that the Assembly candidates win their elections. ‘’

He said the change APC clamoured for ‘’is not a change from PDP to APC but a change from the old order,’’ stressing that the group
was not antagonistic but believed that ’things must be done right and it shall not take orders from those who do things wrong.’’

Alh Yahaya Bello also submitted that in order to have all the programmes of change, the party must not fail to take over the state House of Assembly in the next political dispensation.

The State Deputy Chairman of APC, Shuaibu Osune, thanked the Group for their support which culminated in the success story on March 28.

State Treasurer, Comrade Ade smail, pledged the secretariat’s support for
the Group, just as he prayed for the candidates’ victories at the April 11 polls.

It would be recalled that Alh Y Bello had earlier donated 12 buses to Buhari Campaign Organisation (BCO) before the March 28 election which had assisted in electioneering
campaign.

The case of Ahmed Awela, Murtala (Eti Bobo) among other Ebira youths

Ismail M. Kabir, Lagos. Between controversial existence and a contentious exit. There are various sides to a story. For an event that happens with few or no significant eye witness, the news come in different versions; some partially correct, others completely cooked up. In some cases, such non-witnessed event pass round as rumour until eventually confirmed. Rumour it was, when a phone call from Okene announced the death of two famous Ebira youths! They were killed by the Police, reported the news. Being on a Sunday when nothing too special should ensue save for the usual church services and social functions, the news sounded as the most unexpected, as a matter of fact, incredible! The thought of losing such youths on an ordinary day like Sunday undoubtedly was the reason for the astonishment.

He was believed to have been born with a leaf in his hand and to the elders of then, that was prognostic of what he would be - a native healer. And had grown up performing wonders. His kinsmen were all hunters, they would deny the boy the opportunity to follow them hunting, purely on age ground - and he was really too young to go hunting in the forest. They would leave him in the house with the women as they set out on their hunting expedition. But they had meet the young Obege in the forest roasting a fair member of the forest’s game, all alone - and unarmed! The elders had to defer to this wonderful boy. Obege as an adult was more than human. His fame had spread all over the land: he was a healer of most seemingly incurable diseases, he was a rain maker, assumed more divin...
