EBONYI GOVERNOR, NWIFURU, SUSPENDS TWO COMMISSIONERS, OTHERS

Ebonyi State Government under Francis Ogbonnaya Nwifuru has confirmed the indefinite suspension of the Honourable Commissioner for Housing and Urban Development and three months suspension of the Honourable Commissioner for Health respectively.

In a statement issued on Tuesday by Commissioner for Information, Hon. Jude Chikadibia Okpor said also to proceed on a three-month suspension are the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Health, the Executive Secretaries of the State Primarily Healthcare Development Agency and that of the Ebonyi State Health Insurance Agency.

He further said in view of the development, the Special Assistant (SA) to the Governor on Primary Health was directed to take charge of the ministry in the absence of the suspended Commissioner.

The suspended government officials are to hand over all government properties in their possession including vehicles to the Secretary to the Government on or before the close of work on Monday, November 25, 2024.

Recall that Governor Nwifuru on Saturday ordered for the arrest of six civil servants that were caught selling Hospital materials meant to be distributed for free.

The arrest was revealed in a statement in Abakaliki, on Sunday, by Governor Francis Nwifuru’s Chief Press Secretary, Monday Uzor.

The statement read, “The Ebonyi State Governor, Chief Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, has ordered the arrest and prosecution of one Mr Ndukwe Ayansi and five others for allegedly diverting materials meant for the state’s Ministry of Health.

“The governor, on his way to a project inspection, sighted a Toyota Dyana truck loading registers, books and other materials from the warehouse in the Ministry of Health.

“The governor drove in and made inquiries but not satisfied with the answers given, probed further and discovered that patients’ data registers, cards and a host of other documents were moved into the vehicle.

“It was also discovered that all the documents had been sold without government approval.”

    OBASANJO LAMENTS DEATH RUMOUR CIRCULATING IN SOCIAL MEDIA, SAYS ‘I’M ALIVE’

    OBASANJO LAMENTS DEATH RUMOUR CIRCULATING IN SOCIAL MEDIA , SAYS ‘I’M ALIVE’ Former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo has lamented about the social media rumours of his death. President Obasanjo who disclosed that he recently woke up to rumours of his demise circulating on social media expressed shock and disappointment over the false reports, describing them as deeply upsetting. Speaking during the commissioning of the Old Garage-Oke Fia-LAMECO Road in Osogbo, Osun State on Tuesday, Obasanjo recounted how he learned about the claims. He was invited by the Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, to commission the road project. “I was called early in the morning by a close ally, asking me to check social media,” Obasanjo revealed. “I was surprised when I saw the rumour claiming I had died at midnight. I couldn’t believe it.” The former president explained that he immediately shared the false reports with his family and inner circle to reassure them of his well-being. “I told my family and friends not to be alarmed. Those wishing me dead will not have their way,” he said. Obasanjo, who spoke in Yoruba during the event, questioned the motives behind such harmful speculation. “Why would anyone wish me dead? Those who harbour such thoughts will not escape tragedy themselves,” he remarked. He lamented the growing trend of baseless news spreading rapidly on social media. “This kind of rumour is not only disturbing but shows the extent to which some people misuse technology. It is unacceptable,” Obasanjo said. The former president used the opportunity to commend Adeleke for his achievements in Osun State. He described the governor’s performance as extraordinary and predicted his re-election for a second term. “When he came on board some people ridiculously said he has nothing to offer except to dance but he has shown them that he is a good dancer and also a good performer. “Governor Adeleke has delivered for the people of Osun, and I believe they will support him again,” he added. He expressed happiness for the developmental progress of Osogbo and for the cooperation governor Adeleke is enjoying. Meanwhile, Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State has named the Old Garage-Okefia-LAMECO road after the late Asiwaju of Osogboland, Abdulfatai Adekileku Ajani Badmus. This is as he said his administration is determined to grow Osogbo and Osun for the benefit of the future generation. He also said his government is focused on making history and leaving a legacy of service to the people “History should recall us as good agents of good governance,” he said. He appreciated former President Obasanjo for his constant support and advice. “We are genuinely grateful sir. It is my honour to invite our father and elder statesman to commission the completed project.” The newly commissioned Old Garage-Oke Fia-LAMECO road is part of Adeleke’s infrastructure agenda aimed at revitalising Osun State’s road networks.

    TRUTH ABOUT THE IGBO NOT SELLING LAND TO NON-IGBO

    TRUTH ABOUT THE IGBO NOT SELLING LAND TO NON-IGBO Azuka OnwukaLast week, when I saw the myriads of social media posts criticising newspaper columnist and TV presenter, Dr. Reuben Abati, over his comment on Arise TV on the issue of the Igbo not selling land to non-Igbo, I searched for the video and watched it in full to hear his exact words and understand the context. He was reacting to the praise Senate President Godswill Akpabio gave to the Igbo at the Night of Tributes for the late Senator Ifeanyi Ubah. Because of the furore that followed Abati’s comment, it became part of Arise TV’s “Trending with Ojy Okpe” the next day. The anchor, Ms. Ojy Okpe, asked him for his comment on that, but Abati lost his cool and used the word “nonsense” twice on air, browbeat the anchor, and insisted that he made the comment in a certain context and would not repeat himself. Happily, Okpe handled the situation with maturity, even while making it clear to Abati that the reaction of the public was that an ethnic group should not be tarred with the same brush based on a single story. Let me reproduce Abati’s exact words on Arise TV on Thursday, November 21, 2024, to make the discussion straight-forward. After analysing some positive aspects of the Igbo, Abati concluded thus, “However, let me give the flip side. Chief T.O.S. Benson, former Minister of Information, now late, on one occasion at the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs—and I’m not making this up. He said it publicly. If anybody can contradict me, let them do so. He said something about Igbo people. He said he had an Igbo wife and had an Igbo daughter. That he wanted to buy land in Igboland for his daughter, for his wife. He said, ‘I am getting old.’ T.O.S. Benson is getting old. ‘Let me build in this place for my wife.’ He said that his in-laws told him that they don’t sell land to outsiders. “That is the irony of Nigeria—about the politics of federation of unity. The same Igbos who are so industrious that they are all over and they do well in other parts of Nigeria. If you go as a non-Igbo man to go and buy ‘umunna’ land, you will be told that you don’t belong, even as an in-law. That is by way of an aside. But these are the issues in my view.” Yes, the context was that Abati was referring to the experience of Chief Benson. If he had limited it to that, it would not have raised any dust. But note his words that tell a different story, “He (Benson) said something about Igbo people. That is the irony of Nigeria—about the politics of the federation of unity. The same Igbos who are so industrious that they are all over and they do well in other parts of Nigeria, you go as a non-Igbo man to go and buy ‘umunna’ land, you will be told that you don’t belong, even as an in-law.” With his conclusion, Abati extrapolated the experience Benson had with his in-laws to the entire Igbo ethnic group. But for those who don’t understand what ‘umunna’ means, let us explain it and show how even what Benson’s in-laws said to him was not peculiar to the Igbo. The “umunna” is the largest Igbo family unit made up of the descendants of an ancestor for up to ten generations. One key factor about the umunna is that marriage is not accepted between two people from the same umunna. Members of an umunna usually live together in one part of the community. Each male is bequeathed a parcel of land by his own father, with the…
