DSS/Ifeanyi Ubah: Thousands in Court on Solidarity for Ifeanyi Ubah as Court adjourn the matter to 25th May ,2017

 By Ade Omoletu, Lagos.Today,

The Court premises was filled with people from different works of live on solidarity for Ifeanyi Ubah.

The group that is made of market women and men , civil society organizations , Igbo groups , labour unions etc were all at the court in solidarity with Dr Ifeanyi Ubah .

You may recall that DSS had on 5th May arrested Ifeanyi Ubah ,the MD Capital Oil and Gas for what they alleged to be a case of stealing , illegal diverting of NNPC Fuel and inciting of the labour union .

But, Capital Oil and Gas and Labour union (NUPENG ) have denied the allegations  by stating that NNPC is indebted to the Capital Oil and gas to the tune of over N16billion .

Publicity secretary of Human Right group ( Right Watch ), Dr Tunde O Tunde who was also at the court stated that the incarceration of Dr Ifeanyi Ubah amount to not just threat to his right ,but threat to the Nigeria Democracy .

According to him :

"Why overheating the Polity? This is a mere commercial transaction between NNPC and Capital Oil which should be resolved inline with the contractual principles . Using coercion forces of the govt on this issue amount to threat to Nigeria Democracy ." he submits.

Moreso, one Mrs Edith questioned the government's commitment in tackling the mirage of challenges facing the people .

" imagine that over 2000 workers and their families are under economic threat due to the Govt action on Capital Oil . I was thinking that govt should be more considerate on the plight of the people than hitting the people hard through their malicious actions against Capital Oil and Gas ?" she asked

A Security Consultant Mr Godwin Ayo, also informed the press that Nigerian Security agency should upgrade its operational tactics and  understand the modern ways of securing the Country .

According to him ,
" Just look at the way they ended up making Mazi Nnamdi KANU  who was unknown by Nigerians until they arrested him famous .

Today, we are making the same mistake. You arrested Ifeanyi Ubah on issue that has to do with Commercial transactions which ought to be treated in a civil court and today, not only that you are creating panic in the system and building unnecessary tension in the the polity, but you are even making him a hero." He said.

" Governemnt should not be seen as the one creating multi lines of regional Cum ethnic  tensions and mutual distrust amongst its citizenry by its actions".

Watching closely, you will observe that  South East is one zone that believe that Buhari led Federal Government is against them and the Federal government through its  security agency should not be seen  confirming this widely held belief.

Currently, the issue  of the Zone being excluded from the Coastal Railway projects is trending, thereby confirming this belief, now when you juxtapose it with the commando style and militaristic interference of DSS in a pure Civil case involving two business partners by arresting Dr Ifeanyi Ubah, the MD of Capital Oil and gas and subsequently disobeying for the second time a valid  court order to produce him leaves one with no choice, but to believe that this is a calculated effort to kill the enterprises of the zone.

DSS must as a matter of national interest and in clear respect of democratic tenets live up to its statutory responsibility and stop taking us aback to the era of dictatorial military regimes.

#Justice4IfeanyiUbah is now a National anthem

A call on Chief Felix Idiga (JAFAC), a man who has gone far ahead of his time to take up leadership positions

For the last couple of years, The Mo Ibrahim Foundation which annually confers the most outstanding leader award to African leaders who have distinguished themselves in the art of leadership, has refused to confer the award on any of the present African leaders reason as cited by the foundation is that none of them is worthy. But, does this translate that they're dearths of leaders in African? Read on. It's true that leadership in Africa is currently being led by those whom political profiteering has become an unquenchable vision- Men whose drive is their personal enrichment; the prosperity of the nation becomes a lesser issue to that of themselves. It's also true, that Africa has obscured their best men from assuming leadership positions. Men who have created wealth and jobs for their communities without being in an elective leadership position. Men whose fecundity is unquestionable and whose loyalty lies always with the people. Men to whom leadership is natural ha...

ANAMBRA PDP PRIMARY: Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah heads to court.

Barely three weeks af­ter the Peoples Dem­ocratic Party (PDP) conducted its governor­ship primary in Anambra State, one of the aspirants, Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah, yesterday ques­tioned the credibility of the primary and vowed to achieve justice in the court of law. Addressing newsmen in Abuja, Ubah accused the leaders of the party of using fake delegates’ list to conduct the primary, adding that the certified copy of the list he got from Independent Na­tional Electoral Commission (INEC) was different from what was used at the primary. Kicking against the pri­mary, the Chairman of Cap­ital oil described it as a show of shame, adding that Os­eloka Obaze, who was de­clared winner, was never given a waiver by the party National Executive Com­mittee (NEC). Ubah, who said that he has exhausted all internal mechanism of the party, add­ed that “I think it is the court that can address the situation now. We are going to court and if ...
