Economic Sabotage, Insecurity Have Worsened Under APC -Expert

A political scientist in Rivers State, Warisenibo Christian John-Africa, has expressed worries over the security and economic challenges bedeviling Nigeria, especially in the South-South geopolitical zone, saying they have worsened under the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
Speaking with journalists recently in Port Harcourt, John-Africa said Nigerians, most importantly the youths, would have no option than to leave for Ghana if the APC returns to power after the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration.
John-Africa, former Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Opobo/Nkoro Ward 2, expressed regrets that the APC leadership had only worsened the plights of Nigerians, after using Chibok girls to blackmail Jonathan’s government out of power in 2015.
He announced the readiness of the party to reclaim the country from APC in 2023, noting that under the present APC administration, Nigerians are going through economic and political travails.
Every sector in Nigeria, he said, has collapsed. Aside that, there is also hunger, starvation, high cost of fuel and food stuffs. Nigerians are still hiding from kidnapping or unknown or known gun men.
He expressed the preparedness of the party to reclaim Nigeria from APC next year, noting that the people had been subjected to hardship, sickness and death as nothing good should be expected from the administration.
John-Africa stated further that the only thing Nigerians are demanding is a smooth collation of results from the polling units, saying “because the APC wants to rig the election in 2023, they have refused to do the needful”.
Describing Nigeria as the most indebted nation in the world, he said “there is a seriously high level of corruption in Nigeria today under the APC-led administration.”

As part of activities marking his 100 days in office, the Chairman of Ahoada West Local Government Council, Hon Iyekor Ikporo, has commissioned a solar water project at Odiereke Ubie Community.
Other projects commissioned by the chairman at Ward 9 of the local government are Late Emperial Majesty, Eze Robinson O.Robinson palace fence, generator house and security post.
Recall that the palace of the revered deceased King was affected by the recent flood, which destroyed the fence and virtually all his property until the current council chairman came to the rescue.
The ovation that greeted the chairman’ s demonstration of exemplary leadership could be seen in the reception accorded him during the commissioning ceremony.
In her remarks, the wife of the late monarch, Her Majesty Felicia Robinson,who could not hold back her tears, commended the council chairman for wiping away her tears.
She described the chairman as God-sent, and called on the new Eze Ekpeye Lobo 111, King Kelvin Anugwo, to honour the Ahoada West chairman for this singular gesture.
She also called for continuous support of the council chairman and the Governor of the State, Sir Siminalayi Fubara, for leading the people on the path of progress.
Earlier, the Eze Ekpeye Logbo 111, Eze Kelvin Anugwo, had commended the chairman for taking bold steps to reconstruct the palace fence and other facilities, and expressed gratitude to the chairman for his passion to deliver the dividends of democracy to his people.
While suing for peace and unity of the people, the first class traditional ruler, stressed the need for division among the people to be jettisoned by all and sundry, for the overall development of the Ekpeye ethnic nationality.
In his remarks, the council chairman narrated the significant milestones his administration has recorded within the past three months in office.
He said since charity begins at home, he has taken steps to provide basic necessities to the Ward where he hails from, contending that for a long time, the people of Odiereke Ubie Community had no drinking water, hence, his decision to provide potable and well treated water that would stand the test of time.
He said, “You can recall that when we came here canvassing for votes for our dear Governor, while listening to the requests of our people, lack of potable water in the area was a topmost setback and challenge and that is why on assuming office, we decided to address it.”
