NIGERIAN TWEEPS DEMAND END TO APC RULE WITH #ENDAPCNOW

The Nigerian netizens on X (formerly Twitter) have started calling for the total rejection of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in the country’s political space.

This agitation was trended via the hashtag #EndAPCNow, which already had over 16,000 engagements on X at the time of filing this report.

The netizens criticised the current government of APC for the persistent hardship the citizens have been facing due to the economic policies implemented by President Bola Tinubu.

According to them, the APC has displayed lack of competence in solving the country’s socio-economic challenges.

An X user, Chinaza said, “IF NIGERIANS DON’T END APC, APC WILL END NIGERIANS.”

It is not about tribe, religion, culture or whatever now, it’s about the betterment of our NIGERIA.

Don’t be brainwashed, APC is an enemy of progress, and enemy of progress is our enemy. Therefore👇#ENDAPCNOW https://t.co/IZ4HQeNmLN pic.twitter.com/dUqccmLA77

Emir Sirdam said, “In my opinion, any PROTEST that is not #EndAPCNow is a waste of time.

“Nigerians get balls for once and face your MONSTERS! We are now comfortable with a dollar exchanging at 1500 Naira. If we don’t End APC, APC Will end us!”

Meanwhile, Nigeria has witnessed several public demonstrations and agitations against the administration of President Tinubu but none has been as impactful as the recent protests against the proposed Finance Bill in Kenya.

For instance, the leadership of the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) in February declared a two-day nationwide mass protest slated for February 27 and 28 over the hardship in the country.

In the same month, SaharaReporters also reported how another protest broke out in Suleja, the commercial nerve centre of Niger State, which is a few kilometres away from the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.“There is protest ongoing at the Suleja local government area of Niger State. They are calling on Tinubu to end the hardship the masses are suffering on the daily basis in the country,” a source told SaharaReporters.

    RIVERS DEPUTY GOVERNOR, ODU, WALKS TIGHT ROPE

    RIVERS DEPUTY GOVERNOR, ODU, WALKS TIGHT ROPE When she was unveiled as the running mate to Siminialayi Fubara, the then governorship candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Professor Ngozi Nma Odu, had dreamed of and prayed for two things; victory at the poll and a peaceful tenure as a deputy governor. Undoubtedly, Odu, born on October 23, 1952, in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, has her first prayer granted. She excelled at the 2023 election with her boss. But, the same thing cannot be said about her request for a peaceful, crisis-free and fulfilled tenure. Odu, who obtained her first degree in Microbiology from the Paisley College of Technology, Renfrewshire, Scotland, the United Kingdom (UK), watched as the substructure of a once united political family built by a former Governor Nyesom Wike, who is currently the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja, began to collapse, following irreconcilable differences between Fubara and Wike, his erstwhile godfather. The same family nominated and worked for her to become deputy governor. Her choice was unanimous. She was singlehandedly picked by Wike through the recommendations of former Governor Peter Odili. Odili is a key figure in modern Rivers politics who supported Wike throughout his tenure as his political father. He has also often been referred to as the political godfather of Odu. While Wike solely nominated Fubara and made him governor, the former governor out of respect for Odili reportedly asked the latter to recommend Fubara’s deputy. Without hesitation, Odili was said to have chosen Prof. Odu. Odu, a refined international scholar and first PhD graduate at the Department of Microbiology, University of Port Harcourt, was brought into politics by Odili. Under the administration of Odili, Odu was a permanent secretary in the Ministry of Health between 1999 and 2006, making her the longest-serving permanent secretary. She also rose to become the Commissioner for Education in January 2006. The scholar, who led the rescue team of the December 2010 ill-fated Sosoliso crash in which only two people survived, owed her political loyalty to Odili. She was said to have developed a fondness for Wike, who used to pour encomiums on her publicly, especially during the campaigns. How has Odu faired amidst the political crisis in Rivers? A peep into her activities shows that the professor has been discharging the functions of her office diligently. The nature of her office and Odili’s position in the impasse have helped Odu to define her feelings. The office of a deputy governor has always been likened to a spare tyre. Just like her predecessor, Dr. Ipalibo Harry-Banigo, who is now the senator representing Rivers West, Odu has maintained a quiet mien. She has never made controversial political statements. Though she has maintained her loyalty to Fubara, she has never been heard casting aspersion on or verbally attacking Wike. She has meticulously attended all programmes of the governor that required her presence. She has also been representing the governor in various events. In her public speeches, Odu has shown her complete loyalty to Fubara as required by her office. Recently at the 2024 Rivers Economic Summit, Prof. Odu described Fubara, whom she fondly refers to as her boss as a leader with the ability to inspire, motivate and encourage people to bring out the best in them. She said: “We thank him for conceiving the idea of this summit. He is a man of courage; a man of focus and a man, who puts Rivers people first.” Similarly, when Prof. Odu received the Silverbird Man of the Year Award on behalf of Fubara, she wrote: “It was truly well-deserved for my boss to be recognized for his efforts in promoting peace and unity in our state. This award…

    FUBARA SPEAKS ON REINSTATEMENT OF PRO-WIKE LAWMAKERS, SAYS ‘I’VE CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S GUIDANCE’

    FUBARA SPEAKS ON REINSTATEMENT OF PRO-WIKE LAWMAKERS, SAYS ‘I’VE CONFIDENCE IN GOD’S GUIDANCE’ Rivers State Governor, Similanayi Fubara, has broken his silence on the recent Appeal Court ruling that reinstated the 27 pro-Wike lawmakers. He commented on the issue while speaking to journalists in Khana, Khana Local Government Area on Friday. Governor Fubara expressed his confidence in God’s guidance and provision, citing Psalm 23:5. He assured the people of Rivers State that his administration remains committed to delivering good governance despite challenges. He said: “I know that a lot of you will be wondering what is going on and all that. Government has its own challenges. If you go to the book of Psalm 23 verse 5, in the Bible, it said that God prepares a table before you; it can be before anybody. But there is an underlined word that should be noted there: it said ‘in the presence of your enemies’. So, it means that nothing comes easy. “I want to assure everyone of you and the good people of Rivers State, that we are not deterred. We have made our promises, we will continue to give you good governance, no matter how difficult it is. “But, like I said before, the worse is over. We are moving on to ensure that we continue to provide what is needed for the development of our state.” Governor Fubara also highlighted his administration’s priority sectors: health, education, and agriculture. He announced plans to visit project sites in Degema, Ahoada, Omoku, and Rumuigbo to inspect the progress of the Modern General and Psychiatric Hospitals. The Governor expressed satisfaction with the ongoing zonal hospital project in Khana, which will benefit not only the people of Khana and Gokana but also his own constituency, Opobo/Nkoro. He assured the people that his administration would complete and utilize the facility for quality healthcare. Governor Fubara noted that his administration inherited non-functional zonal hospitals and released funds last month for the reconstruction and expansion of four zonal hospitals to provide quality healthcare facilities for the people.
