Cleric Tasks Governors On Rice Importation
A Port Harcourt-based cleric, Prophetess Elizabeth Onuoha has called on governors across the 36 States of the federation to impress on President Ahmed Bola Tinubu to grant them access to the importation of rice into the country.
She said this would go a long way in cushioning the effects of the current hardship on Nigerians.
The woman of God said this in an interview with newsmen in Port Harcourt.
She said that the current economic crisis facing the country requires the prayers of every Nigerians, adding that both Christians and Muslims must call on God to have mercy and bless our leaders with wisdom to be able to run the affairs of this country.
Prophetess Onuoha explained that God had revealed to her to tell the 36 state Governors to jointly meet with President Bola Tinubu to permit them to import rice in order to reduce the effects of the current economic crunch facing the nation, adding that failure on the advice will tell grave doom on the citizens and wellbeing of the nation.
“I was in my dream when God called me -telling me that I should tell the Governors in the 36 States of the country to meet with President Bola Tinubu to grant them the entry to import rice so that our people will not die of hunger. I think that what is happening in our country has happened before to the children of Israel, all we need is prayer for God to forgive our sins wherever we have sinned against Him,” she said.
Mrs. Onuoha who is of the Assemblies of God Church, admonished Christian and Muslim faithful to choose a good place in their quiet time to pray for divine interventions into the affairs of the country.
“we have been praying violently against those we hate but still God still allowed them to be alive. I think that it’s time for us to change from our prayer topic to asking God to give our leaders the needed wisdom, love, knowledge and understanding so that they can run this nation the way God wants,” She said.
She said as Christians and Muslims, our prayer point must not be centred on our brothers and sons to die or even those that have offended us in any way, but to centre it on love and God to give those we call our enemies the wisdom and understanding to change from their negative paths.
“Every time you hear people pray, die, die, die and still most of the people they want to die are still alive while some of them have died.
“God is not happy about this kind of prayer. So, God has asked me to warn people about this. “He wants us to change. He wants us to have love for one another,” she said.

Rivers Political Crisis: IYC Warns of Dire Consequences Amid Impeachment Threats Against Gov Fubara

As tensions continue to mount following the current political crisis in Rivers State, the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), Eastern Zone, has warned on the potential fallout from the ongoing impeachment threats against Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
The IYC, Eastern Zone, in a communiqué jointly signed by Chairman Comrade Ibiso Harry and Secretary Hon. John Amos Benjamin, emphasized that any attempt to destabilize the government could have dire consequences for the state’s stability and the welfare of Rivers people.
They called for dialogue and peaceful resolutions, urging all parties involved to prioritize the welfare of the citizens over political maneuvering.
In the communiqué, IYC accused former Governor Nyesom Wike and the Martin Amaewhule-led State House of Assembly of exacerbating the ongoing political crisis in the state.
They claimed that Wike’s persistent efforts to control the state’s resources have led to a political crisis that threatens the very fabric of Rivers State governance.
“The bone of contention in this crisis is the desperate attempt by the FCT Minister to maintain control over the state’s resources, which Governor Fubara has firmly resisted,” stated Comrade Ibiso Harry, who read the communiqué.
He went on: “Fubara’s mantra, ‘Rivers money for Rivers people,’ clearly reflects his commitment to prioritizing the welfare of our citizens.”
The group further warned that the stoppage of federal revenue allocation to the state would lead to severe repercussions for civil servants and jeopardize crucial services in healthcare and education.
“We have supported every governor of Rivers State in the past, and we demand the same respect for Governor Fubara to complete his two terms.
“Our people have sacrificed too much in the name of political loyalty, and we will not stand idly by as these attempts threaten our collective future”, the IYC declared.
The group called for dialogue and cooperation among political leaders, urging them to resolve differences without resorting to dubious political tactics.
They warned that should such attempts to impeach Fubara continue, those responsible would face the consequences of their actions, potentially leading to a breakdown of law and order in the state.
As the political tensions rise, the IYC expressed appreciation for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s intervention thus far, calling for further support to ensure that democracy prevails in Rivers State.
The communiqué concluded with a call for unity among all ethnic groups in the state, asserting their unwavering support for Governor Fubara and his administration.
