APC Membership Registration: Dr. Sanusi Ohiare Commends Community Turn Out

By Ismail M. Kabir

The Executive Director, Rural Electrification Fund Dr. Sanusi Ohiare has commended local executives of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Adavi-Eba community for orderly conduct of the ongoing party membership registration and revalidation exercise.

Dr. Sanusi conducted his APC membership revalidation today at his polling unit 001 in Adavi-Eba ward of Adavi local government area in Kogi State.


While speaking with newsmen shortly after the revalidation exercise, Ohiare commended the orderly arrangements of the party executives in the area which has attracted appreciable turnout of electorates willing to join the All Progressives Congress and revalidation of existing members in the community.

"This exercise is necessary for members of our community in showing support to the good works that President Muhammad Buhari and Governor Yahaya Bello have done. To achieve more from this administration, we need to show our support to the party".

The REF boss reminded the community that no one wins an elected position without belonging to a political party.

Recalling the benefits of the present administration, Dr. Sanusi listed his choice as the youngest appointee of the Buhari administration, the electrification of health facilities, provision of streetlights and transformers in Adavi-Eba and other parts of Kogi State and ultimately the election of Alhaji Yahaya Bello as the 4th executive Governor of  Kogi State and the youngest governor under the umbrella of APC. He is of the belief that the same party that made Yahaya Bello Governor, can provide the vehicle for him to emerge President, while also creating hope and platform for other young people irrespective of creed, tribe, religion etc. to aspire to any office they desire.¡¿K£
He called on women, youths and people living with disabilities in the area to show more sense of belonging by registering in large numbers.

"Over 1000 people in the community already indicated interest in the ongoing exercise and I want to urge more people to turn out for the registration to have a better sense of belonging in the government", he said.

Earlier, Dr. Sanusi paid a courtesy visit to Adavi-Eba community leaders to receive their blessings and prayers for God's guidance in his daunting task of lighting up rural communities across Nigeria.

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. Not a single person of Ebira origin, within or outside the soil would believe such shocker upon first hearing. Text messages, phone calls and of course physical enquiries lingered, all in an atte

The Obege legend

In the earliest generations when the art of magic was yet a myth to the people, there was born a boy into a family of hunters in the village of Eika - one of the six communities that comprised the ancestral groups. 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
