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

THE PDP ANAMBRA STATE GOVERNORSHIP PRIMARY ELECTION WAS A SHAM AND COMPLETE ILLEGALITY

As a loyal member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and one who stood by the party through thick and thin, my love for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cannot be questioned. My immense contributions to the cause of the party, most especially during the last Presidential and General elections through the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria cannot be overemphasized. In the same vein, anyone who has a thorough understanding of Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah can attest to the fact that I am a man of uncommon national vision and passion for the development of the nation and general good of the masses, especially the less privileged. It is the burden of the developmental needs of Anambra state and my burning desire to meet and exceed the expectations of Anambrarians that has relentlessly driven me to contest for the Governorship position of Anambra state. However, until constitutional amendments are made, one is constrained to contest for such position under a party structure. In my case, ...

THE HANDSHAKE ACROSS THE NIGER A MOVEMENT LONG OVERDUE

Before the Nigeria independence, the Yorubas has been the greatest host of the Igbo tribes including their business empires and white collar hobs. Since I was born, I have never heard of any communal clash between this two great ethnic groups as their relationship keeps on soaring to greater height. Many of us with short historical knowledge, never knew that the independence we enjoy together as a nation was struggled and attained on a platter of The handshake across the Niger. How do I mean? The N.C.N.C that struggled and attained Nigeria's independence in 1960 was founded in 1944 by Late Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Herbert Olayinka Badmus Macaulay, Akintola and Michael Okpara and Nwafor Orizu of blessed memories , It was a combination of both ethnic effort of Yorubas, Midwest of Chief Okotie Eboh, Micheal Okpara and Nnamdi Azikiwe that made our independence possible. As at 1957, Nigeria was due for independence and the West and East were fully prepared but what delayed the independence ...
