The All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State has denied inviting former governor Nyesom Wike to join the party, describing those credited with inviting Wike to takeover APC Rivers as imposters. Darlington Nwauju, A spokesman for Rivers APC, in a statement, distanced the party’s leadership from the said invitation. According to Nwauju, Rivers APC never invited Wike who characterised APC as suffering from cancer to join the party.
Immediate past governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike He said, “We unequivocally dismiss any such rumour or sponsored story that Rivers APC had at any forum invited Wike to join our party none the least calling on Wike to take over leadership of a party he never campaigned for. We dare anyone to provide evidence of any campaigns where Wike openly campaigned for the APC. “The terror unleashed on our party members in cause of his eight years maximum rulership alone is enough evidence to confirm that Wike has no business with Rivers APC. Asking him to come and take over is asking an enemy to come and finish off his victims. “We are aware of his schemes to escape justice over the looting of the collective patrimony of Rivers people which is the major reason for his romancing top APC members. For those suffering from amnesia, a none APC member cannot be a cheerleader for the entry of Wike into APC. “Nobody can decree his membership of a political party through radio or newspaper publications. All vexatious attempts at distracting our party in Rivers State will keep failing. “APC Rivers has a legally recognized state office where all official businesses are conducted. We have a standard procedure for convening our meetings according to our party’s constitution. A village meeting or gathering cannot equate to a stakeholder’s meeting of APC in Rivers. “We, therefore, disassociate the leadership of our party from any so-called stakeholders meeting suggesting that our party be handed over to Mr Wike. “We warn blackmailers to desist from the shameless tradition of using the name of our party to curry favour from desperate politicians seeking relevance at the centre.” Recall that a chieftain of the APC and former Chief of Staff, Rivers State Government House, Chief Tony Okocha stated that the immediate past governor of the state deserves to reap what he sowed in making President Bola Tinubu victorious in the 2023 presidential election. Okocha stated this at a news briefing in Port Harcourt, while also declaring the party’s readiness to receive Wike if he decides to defect, emphasizing that the role Wike played in the emergence of Tinubu as Nigeria’s incumbent President cannot be overemphasised. Okocha who was the Coordinator of the BAT-Vanguard, an acronym for the disbanded Bola Ahmed Tinubu Vanguard in the South-South said Wike has the right to join any party. Okocha stated, “We are noticing that some persons who abandoned Tinubu when Tinubu needed them most and voyaged outside the shores are now relying on their personal relationships one way or the other to begin to make some sense of entitlement. “That they are entitled to whatever. In the leadership of the Tinubu family in Rivers State, we are at peace 100 per cent with His Excellency, Barr Nyesom Wike, the immediate past Governor of Rivers State as our leader. “He who pays the Piper dictates the tune. When it was difficult, even when the national body could not oblige us with funds for the national rally here, the magic was done by somebody.”
Former Military head of state, Gen. Ibrahim Babangida Umoh who’s also a former federal Lawmaker who represented the Oron constituency in the House of Representatives, while reacting to the national broadcast made by President Bola Tinubu to commemorate this year’s democracy day celebration stressed that Babangida should also direct Professor Humphrey Nwosu, who was then Chairman of the National Election Commissíon (NEC) to declare the result of the 1993 election. He said, “There is a point in giving him (Abiola) national honour, but it is not enough. But I am saying that the Nigeria government would not lose anything if its government directs that the person that was Chairman of the National Electoral Commissíon (NEC) then, Prof. Humphrey Nwosu should formally declare the election result and also get the Head of the military government that did it to formally apologize to Nigerians. “For Justice’s sake that apology is very, very important. Luckily he (Babangida) is alive. And I take him as one of the greatest leaders we have had in Nigeria. “And because he didn’t do that alone, he can apologize to Nigerians on behalf of his government for the wrong that his government did so that this thing will be finally laid to rest. “Luckily, Professor Humphrey Nwosu is there and has published a book containing that election result. “There is nothing wrong in Government, getting him to formally declare that election result so that all the entitlements that normally would accrue to a former President, former Vice President would immediately be made to accrue to the families” 
Tielemans at a match for Leicester City. Source: Getty He joined Leicester from Monaco on an initial loan deal in January 2019 before signing on a permanent deal for £32 million in July 2019. He made 195 appearances and won the FA Cup during his four-and-a-half-year spell at the King Power Stadium. In his farewell message to fans of Leicester City, Tielemans wrote; 
“Dear Leicester City fans, after 4.5 special years and with a lot of gratitude I’m bidding farewell to this incredible club. “From the first day I set foot on this ground, your warmth and passion embraced me. “Victory and triumph, love, hope and even defeat. We’ve shared many special moments together. I am forever grateful for your unwavering support. “Thank you to Khun Top, the board, the staff, the players and fans for having given me and my family a home. This is not a goodbye, but a heartfelt farewell.” It has been a miserable season for Leicester City, with Dean Smith, hired after Brendan Rodgers was sacked. He however failed to inspire a significant turnaround in form which would have helped them avoid being relegated. While Tielemans’ exit is the only one that has been confirmed, he is not the only Foxes midfielder expected to say goodbye this summer. The consensus is that James Maddison is far too good to be playing Championship football and as a result, will also leave Leicester this summer. 
The young man disclosed that the bank deactivated his account in February and also filled out every required form. After weeks of back and forth, the bank told him he was legally dead hence he cannot access the money in his account. Read his tweets below. Every decent investigative journalist in Nigeria should be getting across for the scoop on this case. The more I look the more I am pissed and 100% convinced this was an inside job by employees of @PolarisBankLtd They messed with the wrong one this time and the world will know. — Groovy (@avogroovy) May 16, 2023 My requests here are simple @PolarisBankLtd send me a copy of the court order from Abuja saying I am dead and a hold (PND) should be placed on my account so I can go to the same court and show proof of life or lift the inactive status on my account. — Groovy (@avogroovy) May 16, 2023
