His words: “Our parents always taught us to be grateful for the things they are able to provide for us. They taught us that giving to those that do not have is lending to God. They practiced these teachings in their own lives by always seeking opportunities to bless others.

PRESS RELEASE: Imagine Ear-Piece Cannot Cost Anything Less Than Two-Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira (#250,000)---Oduah

This is  the way the former Aviation Minister ( whose knack for  financial recklessness is still under probe) has been allegedly paying  for advertisements of different types to “celebrate” her  victory at the polls. Can’t this money be expended on  skill acquisition projects where her innumerable unemployed  constituents members can learn skills and then be self-employed  afterwards?

     Who conducted a media survey to ascertain whether “her purported victory” is  acceptable to Anambra North electorate or not? Isn’t her  election being challenged at the election tribunal? Isn’t  she being  tried at the court of public opinion on  charges of stopping voting at Ochuche Umodu- her
 opponent’s community and stronghold; for intimidating  voters at Onitsha North and South Local Government Areas on  election day, using her innumerable uniformed men and thugs  to best her advantage?

RIVERS CPS, MILITARY COMMANDERS REPORTING TO PATIENCE JONATHAN –AMAECHI

The Rivers State Governor, Chibuike Amaechi, on Sunday said his disagreement with President Goodluck Jonathan, was due in part to Mrs. Jonathan’s meddlesomeness.
He said this after the premiere of a documentary on the Amaechi years, at the Silver Bird Galleria, Abuja.
According to him, the President and the ruling Peoples Democratic Party, would have taken him to the cleaners, if they had found anything incriminating against him.
Amaechi said, “We had a disagreement in principle between me and the President. Have you seen a country where the Commissioner of Police is reporting to the wife of the President? It’s in Rivers State.
“Have you seen a country where the Brigade Commander or the Navy Commander or Air force Commander is reporting to the Wife of the President? It’s in Rivers State.”
He explained that he was convinced that such conduct would not help in the development of any nation and he took a stand against it.
