AN OUTCRY TO GOVERNMENT AT ALL LEVEL TO COME TO THE AID OF OGU PEOPLE. ...Concern Citizens of Ogu Town...

AN OUTCRY TO GOVERNMENT AT ALL LEVEL TO COME TO THE AID OF OGU PEOPLE.

“The care of human; life and happiness, and not their destruction is the first and only legitimate object of good government" Thomas Jefferson

During a peaceful demonstration carried out on the 7th of January 2020, concerned youths of Ogu community together with the Okada Riders Union, expressed our grievances at the reckless abandon with which life's and properties are treated by
the government of the day, with respect to the state of insecurity and deaths  occurring almost everyday at the Ogu-Eteo Road, criminals attacking okada riders, resulting to several death and injuries to road users. These continuous attack to ogu people along Eteo-Ogu road had previously been reported to security agencies within our locality, and know proper solution was provided by different security bodies.

The people of Ogu community are peace loving citizens and so wonder why bandits and elements of destruction will stay diametrically opposed to our peaceful disposition. Peace is a necessity for growth and development, the citizenry of every state can only be at peace when the institutions of government are very much active in their primary duty of protecting the lives and property of it’s citizenry.

The government of the day is at all times, the avant-garde of it’s people and must rise up to restore the confidence of it’s citizens in the light of incessant attacks on their life’s and properties.
It is on record and reported severally that the people of Ogu community are under siege by their neighbors and criminal elements who had chosen to do nothing else other than to cause terror and death, which had given rise to the continual attacks on the people of Ogu. A number of deaths and injuries arising from attacks had been recorded on the Ogu-Eteo road all involving indigenes of Ogu community who uses the road for their daily itinerary, it is also on record that the Ogu-Eteo road is the only access to Ogu town and the road is heavily used by Ogu people on a daily basis.

The sad reality of the threat this road poses to the people of Ogu was further reiterated by the burgeoning attacks which was carried out on the 5th of January where an Okada rider was killed and a daughter of Ogu escaped death with life threatening injuries, on the Ogu-Eteo road an attack we believe was carried out by bandits and enemies of the state.

Exactly at 6:45 on January 7th, another attack was again carried out on the said Ogu-Eteo road which had led to the victim of the attack and placing the Okada rider in a critical state at the time of writing this release.

These latest attacks which are part of a series of onslaught carried out by bandits and elements of destruction are disheartening and threatens the life’s of the people of Ogu, and at such as concerned indigenes of Ogu community, we call on government at all levels to come to the rescue of the people of Ogu community, the people of Ogu remain peace loving and friendly at all times to their neighbors and at such we cannot comprehend the reason for these attacks calculated at Ogu people by these bandits and elements without a name

As peace loving people we call on the Governor of Rivers State, the Commissioner of Police, the Army, the Joint Task Force and all military agencies within the state to come to our rescue. We also use this medium to call on Ogu/Bolo Council Chairman, JTF commandant, DPO, SS&S  and all security agencies  within the Local Government to immediately swing into action and improve security on the said road. We plead with the chairman of the council and security agencies to create 2 new check points at the Eteo - Ogu Road, so as to provide lasting solution to this menace.

As a people we will continue to explore the option of dialogue and peace and in a bid to finding a lasting solution to this impasse and the general threat to human life we are exposed to, a situation that has left the people of Ogu in fear of future attacks on  everyone using the Ogu-Eteo road as the life’s of commuters cannot be guaranteed. We promise to work with all security agencies to ensure these criminals are apprehended.

Government at all  level must rise and make immediate moves to secure the lives of the people of Ogu and also restore our hopes, this being  the primary responsibility of Government.

Thank you and God bless you!

Signed:

Concerned Citizens of Ogu Community.

A WARM CONGRATULATION TO WAZIRI ATIKU ABUBAKAR: CHIEF (AMB.) S.M.K.TARIBO AMGBARA

A WARM CONGRATULATION TO WAZIRI ATIKU ABUBAKAR:
CHIEF (AMB.) S.M.K.TARIBO AMGBARA.

Congratulations on your predictable emergence as the PDP flag-bearer for the fast-approaching presidential election next year. I personally discern the victory as a reflection of your apparent popularity more than of other merits which you share in obvious equal proportion with fellow contestants. These range from charisma,competence and diligence through knowledge, experience and smartness to cosmopolitan patriotism, religious flexibility and ethno-sectional broadmindedness. I have consciously overlooked such other cardinal criteria of leadership as INTEGRITY, RECTITUDE AND HONESTY because of my sad discovery that the pragmatic, if not, Machiavellian, mindset of many a Nigerian career politician seems to deride them as costly, expendable luxuries. But should you prove yourself an exception, and be steeped deeply and visibly in these sublime values, then not only would Nigeria regain unprecedented progress and international respectability but your name would be engraved with diamond letters in the National Pantheon of Revered Statesmen. The APC propagandists displayed puerile mentality in projecting their "change" mantra as the replacement of the ousted regime with their purported "good" one. They thus ensnared themselves into promising the restoration of a paradisiacal El Dorado rather than the dispensation of "toil, sweat and tears" towards salvaging the "bad" situation they claim to have inherited by effort! This misconception rendered them blind to the naked fact that "change" or TRANSFORMATION can mean either an improvement(positive) of an existing condition or impairment(negative) of the same. But I choose to presume, without intending to flatter or humour the APC fanatics, that Your Excellency's avowed mission is to propel Nigeria from its present "good" circumstances to BETTER substitute when You eventually assume full charge. For no administration can be so absolutely "bad" in performance that it may not record something "good" to earn commendation, and none so totally "good" that it may boast nothing ugly to warrant condemnation. It is, therefore, the repulsive excess of one over the other, not the nebulous balance of equation between the worse and the better, that determines the standard by which any enlightened and insightful electorate may decide the fate of contending parties in a liberal democratic society. By Divine Grace, all the dynamics are at Your disposal to make an exemplary impact on both the polity and annals of Nigeria. First, You have previously occupied the second highest office of Vice-President for 8 years. The tenure has familiarized You with the intrigues and plots normally associated with the throng of intellectuals, advisers, sycophants, court jesters, spies and traitors in the corridor of power. Secondly, You have demonstrated a dogged resolve to ascend the zenith. This epitomizes no less an educated comprehension of the country's complex problems than a steadfast zeal and deep-seated keenness for research towards identifying the solutions and implementing them. It further signifies the will and readiness to swiftly assemble a galaxy of like-oriented technocrats and politicians to form a CABINET faster than the sluggish experiment of 2015 when Ministers were publicly branded "noise makers"! Thirdly. being neither enslaved by the burden of personal inadequacies nor afflicted with the infectious vice of avarice to acquire excess, You appear to be immune from the iniquity of coveting and plundering the public treasury. Therefore, let Your campaign strategy be structured and conducted in such a sophisticated manner as to attract dispassionate neutrals, dissolve corporate apathy, entice professional cynics and convert former detractors to fervent admirers. By employing the tactics of elegant and polished rhetorics, cerebral discourse and charming manoeuvres, You would effectively disseminate Your convictions with easy success. You should be categorical and authoritative in clarifying Your position on the raging issues affecting the ECONOMY, SECURITY as well as the EQUITABLE DISTRIBUTION OF OPPORTUNITIES FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT as constitutionally promulgated through the FEDERAL CHARACTER PRINCIPLE which outlaws the evil and outrageous practice of nepotism, cronyism and favouritism. ABOVE ALL, You must articulate and canvass an unequivocal commitment to the burning agitation for RESTRUCTURING otherwise known as FISCAL FEDERALISM or RESOURCE CONTROL or DEVOLUTION OF POWER/FUNCTIONS. This is veritable and overdue paradigm for the socioeconomic and geopolitical revitalization of multiethnic Nigeria for which the clamour is resounding clearly. pervasively and perseveringly. You need no longer convene a money-guzzling jamboree in the guise of National Conference. All that is required is for You to prepare an amendment bill on the pertinent constitutional provisions for submission to the National Assembly in which You redefine, specify and delineate the EXCLUSIVE and RESIDUAL POWERS/FUNCTIONS for the FEDERAL and STATE GOVERNMENTS respectively with few items for CONCURRENCY as the case may be. There can be no gainsaying the contraction in the scope of presidential jurisdiction or diminution of central executive power that may accompany the operation of this revolutionary Order. But such authentic federal arrangement thrives harmoniously in the U S A, CANADA and AUSTRALIA: applying the same here will surely immortalize Your tenure as the one run by the iconic hero who voluntarily made the needed essential sacrifice for the perpetual and irreversible Good of Nigeria! In summary. You must convey to the electorate an innovative formulator surmounting the seemingly intractable and intricate challenges that currently beset the nation.
CONGRATULATIONS ONCE AGAIN AND BEST WISHES!
Elder citizen Spiff Taribo.
