Yesterday, i joined my brothers and sisters from Oyigbo and the entire LGAs of Ogoni, for the ‘Ogoni & Oyigbo People’s Assembly’ gathering in Tai LGA, Rivers State.

It was beautiful seeing friends gather together again after a long time. We had the political class, traditional rulers, youth representative, women representative, the religious community leaders etc at the event.

As a people, we made a stand to continue to support the Federal Government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR. We commended the President for appointing our Rivers son Chief Barr. Nyesom Wike not just as minister, but Minister of the FCT. We also demanded in the spirit of fairness and justice, that the Ogoni/Oyigbo people, should be supported to offer leadership to the state.

Personally, i commend the FCT minister for the transformational strides in the FCT and his personal intervention and contributions towards the unity and peace amongst the political class in Ogoni land.

I thank the organizers of the event yesterday for the privilege of lending my voice to the demands of our people.

When we talk about peace in Rivers State, we must act in a manner that shows that we want peace.

CONGRATULATIONS Adeola Oluwatosin Ajayi ON YOUR MERITORIOUS APPOINTMENT AS NEW DG DSS

It’s really refreshing to hear of the appointment of Mr Tosin Ajayi as the new Director-General of the State Security Services (DSS).

Mr Ajayi is not just a square peg in a square hole, he is a square peg that was designed and purpose made to fit.

He is a professional to the core, who has paid his dues and left behind footprints of excellence across the various state commands where he served, including Rivers, my home state.

His style, innovativeness, tech savviness and his drive for results, paid huge positive dividends and was much admired within the security community.

I am hopeful that with such a gentlemen at the helm of affairs, the DSS will see better days.

Most importantly the security situation in our country today demands a role for patriots who would place the nation above self, remain true to their training, and honour their professional ethics above lucre.

In Tosin Ajayi, the time has found the man.
Because of who he is, expectations will certainly be high.

The new DG should work to ensure that the Department of State Services works with other security agencies, not just to improve security for our country but to restore the faith and confidence of Nigerians in our security architecture.

I wish him all the best and I pray for God’s guidance and wisdom, not just for the Department of state services but all our security agencies.
Better days are coming!!!

GOV. SIM FUBARA ADMINISTRATION PAYING LIP SERVICE TO AGRICULTURAL, INFRASTRUCTURAL, ACADEMIC AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN THE OGONI AXIS OF RIVERS STATE.
……….Kadilo Kabari

The Natural and Paramount Ruler of Barako Ancient Community in Gokana LGA of Rivers State, HRH (Mene) Kadilo Kabari has accused the Sim Fubara led Rivers state Government of paying Lip-Service to the Agricultural, Infrastructural, Academic and Socio-Economic Development in the ogoni axis.
The Comrade Chief who is also a Newly Appointed Member of the University of Port Harcourt Governing Council made this assertion during a Congratulatory Visit by the Leadership of the Uniport Chapter of the National Union of Ogoni Students.

Chief Kabari Speaking, enquired

“HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REVIVE THE THE SONGHAI FARM IN TAI THAT WAS FALSELY PEDDLED TO BE ONE BONE OF CONTENTION BETWEEN FATHER AND SON?’

“WHY HAS NO EFFORT BEEN MADE TO MEDIATE IN THE HERDSMEN AND FARMERS CRISIS THAT IS TAKING MANY LIVES IN AGBETA AXIS OF ELEME AND NOT EVEN A STATEMENT HAS BEEN ISSUED BY THIS GOVERNMENT.

“WHY HASN’T THE FISHING AND AGRIC PRODUCE DISTRIBUTION POTENTIAL OF THE VERY NARROW KIRA TO BAEN ROAD (THAT RUNS THROUGH TAI, GOKANA AND KHANA) ATTRACTED ONE OF THOSE MULTIBILLION NAIRA ROAD CONTRACT AWARDS BEING MADE IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE WITH NON IN THE ENTIRE OGONI AXIS?”

“WHAT ABOUT THE PITIABLE STATE OF THE ONCE PRESTIGIOUS KEN SARO WIWA POLYTECHNIC AND THE BORI INTERNAL ROADS (ONE OF WHICH LEADS TO THE SCHOOL). HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET THE CONTRACTOR BACK ON SITE OR RE-AWARD THE CONTRACT.

“AS CONVENER OF OGONI BEYOND OIL AND POLITICS (B.O.P OGONI), I FEEL THE STIGMATIZATION AND MARGINALIZATION HAS MOVED FROM POLITICAL TO SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, ACADEMIC AND NOW ADMINISTRATIVE. IMAGINE, HOW MANY OGONIS ARE ON ALL BOARDS SO FAR CONSTITUTED PARTICULARLY FOR BASIC EDUCATION, SENIOR SECONDARY EDUCATION & PRIMARY HEALTH MANAGEMENT?
INFACT GOKANA LGA HAS NO COMMISSIONER OR SPECIAL ADVISER IN GOVERNOR FUBARA'S CABINET (15 MONTHS INTO THE ADMINISTRATION) WORSE-STILL, THE ENTIRE OGONI AS A WHOLE HAS NO TOP GOVERNMENT POSITION,
YET NO ONE IS TALKING ..…HABA”

“YES, I HAVE MANY OF MY FRIENDS AND COMRADES IN THE GOVERNMENT BUT THE COMRADE AND ACTIVIST IN ME FORBIDS SILENCE SINCE THEY SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT INJUSTICE ANYWHERE IS A THREAT TO JUSTICE EVERYWHERE”

He charged the students to take their studies and character moulding seriously and refuse playing second fiddle as this has unfortunately become the lot of our people today.

On his part, the President of NUOS UNIPORT Comrade Nornubari Hope, Congratulated the Newly Appointed Member Governing Council University of Port Harcourt and thanked President Tinubu for Appointing one of their own, thanked the Comrade Chief for the aluta Consciousness and words of encouragement describing him as a role Model and Mentor to the new Generation of Ogonis.
The interaction had a former Uniport SUG President, Comrade Felix Nwizua a former NUOS Worldwide President Comrade Meedubari Kpuinen, and a former NUGOS Uniport President Comrade Dennis Ngii in attendance.

Sen Magnus Abe Wrote:

I am not silent on the planned protest. I do not believe in it and I don’t believe it will achieve much.

Even if it is peaceful which I doubt that it will be, it will still disrupt economic activities and make a difficult situation, even more so, for hard working Nigerians who are already suffering so much.

I have seen a lot of the hate speech against the Tinubu government circulating online to justify the planned protest.
This is totally unacceptable and unhelpful. Nigeria is in a difficult economic situation, it is unfair to blame our collective woes as a nation on the actions of one government that is barely two years in office.

Times are hard and our country needs an urgent reset, not just cosmetic changes - We all understand and accept that, and the Government is already taking serious steps to fundamentally reboot the economy.

While a protest is constitutional and lawful, it will add nothing of value in our present circumstances. I am convinced that given the actions the government has taken so far, hope is around the corner and our economic circumstances will certainly improve.

The reason I am speaking is because the President has taken a giant step to reboot the economy and Nigerians do not seem to grasp the impact of this giant leap.

The national Oil swap policy which allowed NNPC to swap the 450,000 (four hundred and fifty thousand barrels of Nigerian crude oil meant for local consumption for finished petroleum products while maintaining 3 non operative refineries at prohibitive cost to the the Nation, started before the APC came to power. I have always believed that this policy was the reason NNPC never allowed the refineries to work.

Today Tinubu has ended that policy and directed that the oil meant for local consumption be sold to local refiners including the Dangote refinery in Naira. In other words, the crude for local consumption will now be for local consumption. This is the most significant economic decision taken in this country in resent times. No one wants to give Tinubu credit for finally killing this golden goose of corruption.

If the protest is about good governance, let us acknowledge the efforts the government is making in that direction and make concrete proposals for more constructive changes. We have a President who is on our side and committed to building a better country. Let’s be objective in our views.

If the protest is genuinely about Nigeria, those who support the protest should own up to it, explain their reasons and come out to lead it, let us know what they want so we can compare it with what the government has done so far.

No one should send others to protest, let them lead with their children who will also benefit from a better Nigeria.

I appeal to all lovers of our country to ignore this protest, it is ill-timed, it is unhelpful and it will not make Nigeria better at this time.

Let us come together and work together to make Nigeria better.

In their response, the Non Indigene group thanked Senator Abe for calling them to share political ideals and the way forward with them and for always putting them in the equation of every move he makes in the politics of Rivers State and Nigeria.
