Rivers: An Invitation For War, Niger Delta Group Reacts To Court Verdicts

-

 

The Pan Niger Delta Youth Employment Forum (PANDYEF) has strongly condemned the Supreme Court’s ruling affirming the reinstatement of 27 lawmakers as valid members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The group warned that Nigerians should hold the judiciary accountable for any breakdown of law and order in the state.

In a statement released on Saturday by its spokesperson, Mazi Chika Art Adiele, and made available to journalists in Awka, PANDYEF alleged that the Supreme Court’s decision amounts to economic sabotage against the people of Rivers State.

The group argued that the verdict threatens the peace and sustainable development fostered by Governor Amaopusenibo Siminalayi Joseph Fubara.

Expressing disappointment, the statement read: “It is an invitation for war and against equity, justice and fair play.

“We, equally condemn the order nullifying the Local Government Election, as reckless and vindictive.


“Unfortunately, the Justices of the Supreme Court, positioned themselves as a party to the suite rather than impartial arbiter of justice.

“It must be noted that the principle of democracy is surely rooted on sound constitutional pronouncement with a view to establishing justice.

“Therefore any attempt by the enemies of Rivers people to seize power by judicial fiat will be resisted by the Niger Delta Youths.

“We cannot be cowed neither shall we lay in surrender at the alter of political manipulations of rascals.


“We reiterate boldly, once again, that anyone, no matter how highly placed will face fierce resistance by the majority of Rivers people, the statement concluded.

Petrol: Motorists Lament Filling Stations Fleecing Nigerians With ‘rigged’ Pumps - Politics

Nigerians, especially motorists or vehicle owners, heaved a sigh of relief when the Nigeria National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL) announced reduction in fuel price from N1,060 to N965 across all its retail stations nationwide. Also, the Dangote Group through its Refinery reduced its price per litre to N899 reaching out to Nigerians through the MRS filling stations[/b]. But what literally should be a source of joy has become an avenue for fuel stations to cheat, shortchange, and fleece motorists and Nigerians of their hard-earned money by dispensing less quality fuel which blows out easily in a very short time. In Abuja, commercial drivers are complaining bitterly of not meeting their daily target anymore apparently because of the shenanigans of the fuel stations through their attendants. Some drivers who spoke with Nigerian Tribune expressed disappointment in quality of fuel being sold, the price, and the tampering of the meters by the attendants who have the backing of their mana...
