About Nasir Elrufai:

"I recognized his weaknesses; the worst being his inability to be loyal to anybody or any issue for long, but only to Nasir El - Rufai".

"I have heard of how he viciously savaged the reputation of his uncle, a man who was like his foster father".

"Character wise, Nasir has not much going for him".

"My vivid recollection of him is his penchant for lying, for unfair embellishment of stories and his inability to sustain loyalty for long".

"I believe that he can still be used in public service under guidance and sufficient oversight, making allowance for the psychology of his petit size".

"He was described as a malicious liar. He was more than that; he is a pathological purveyor of untruths and half - truths with little or no regard for integrity".

SENATOR ITA ENANG EXPELLED BY APC OVER ANTI PARTY ACTIVITIES

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has expelled Senator Ita Enang, former special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on national assembly matters over anti party activities.

A letter by Hon. (Obong) Stephen Leo Ntukekpo, APC, Akwa Ibom State, addressed to the Ward Chairman of the party in Eastern Ward 2, Ibiono Ibom Local Government Area, said Enang’s sack has been rectified by the state working committee of the party.

According to the letter, the rectification followed a petition against Enang over anti party activities and disobedience party directives.

“The State Working Committee (SWC) of the party has received a copy of the above letter addressed to Senator Ita Solomon Enang in respect of his anti-party activities and disobedience to the lawful directives of the party,” the letter reads in part.

“The anti-party activities among others include his indulgence with the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Akwa Ibom State and his willful but unlawful disobedience of the directives of our great party, the APC.

“After a free and fair gubernatorial primary election conducted by the party which he lost without showing good spirit of sportsmanship, Senator Ita Solomon Enang had engaged in an endless litigation against the candidate who won and the party. In the process, fully doing the biding of the PDP to put a clog in the wheel of our progress as a party. The clandestine meetings he holds with opposition party, the PDP and after such meetings, drumming support for them, are not without notice by his vigilant ward and chapter officers of our great party.

“Consequently, I write on behalf of the State Working Committee (SWC) to ratify the decision of the disciplinary committee of the All Progressives Congress; that, Senator Ita Solomon Enang, be and is hereby expelled from the All Progressives Congress.”

GOD WON'T GIVE POWER TO THE WICKED, TREACHEROUS -WIKE

Rivers State governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike says he and his allies of the G5 group are never playing God as to determine who becomes the next president of Nigeria.

Governor Wike stated these in reaction to statement in the media that said God will determine the next president of Nigeria, not G5 governors.

The Rivers State governor, speaking at the flag-off of Ogbo- Ihugbodo Road in Ahoada East Local Government Area on Saturday, said, those behind the statement should have known that even if God gives power, it should not be given to the wicked.

"Don't be treacherous in life because you want power. God will never give power to the wicked. Our hands are clean we have not done anything wrong.

"All we are saying is, do things in a way all of us will have sense of belonging, that all of us will believe that we are together.

"That is all we are saying. If saying so is wrong, then let it be to God. But we know that it is good as right takes, let left take also."

Governor Wike explained that members of the G5 believe in the omnipotence of God and always align their various affairs to such, which is why they keep getting stronger by the day.

The Rivers State governor pointed out that the person who said that it only God and not G5 governors who can decide who will be president seemed not to understand the background of members of the group.

"We are alive today, we are where we are because of God. Nobody can even breathe air if not God, not to talk of holding position. So, nobody can tell us that it is only God, we know that it is only God that gives power.

"But our prayer is that God, don't allow those who will sell off Nigeria in the next one second to be in power. Our prayer is God, don't allow anybody that you (people) will have an agreement with and in the next two minutes, the person will change.

"Our prayer is that almighty God will not allow those who will betray their brothers when they have agreed with their brothers to do something. God, may you never allow such people."

Governor Wike also noted that the person said that there will be division among the G5, an expectation that had long been frustrated since May/June 2022.

"It has never worked and it will never work in Jesus name. By sitting down to say that there will be division, I send back that prayer to you.

"I don't want to discuss them. I have told people, allow the sleeping dog to lie. If you don't allow sleeping dog to lie, you too will not sleep."

The Rivers State governor also pointed to another person saying that they will handle members of the G5 when they have decided where to throw their support.

"These are the things that annoy us. Who is this person saying this? I heard them say that PDP is a responsible party I agree. But when they left PDP in 2014 against 2015.

"When they left and made PDP to lose our election. Today, we are struggling to take over power from APC. Who are those who made us to lose this power."

Commenting on the project, Governor Wike the Ogbo -Ihugbodo road is one of the many projects his administration has continued to deliver to restore Ahoada Town and the surrounding communities to what it used to be when it was a divisional headquarters.

The governor emphasised that it is already established that he is creating an unbeatable record as an administration in Nigeria that will continue to deliver democratic dividend until the last day of his tenure.

Governor Wike stated that the jealousy expressed by some detractors is because of the capacity he has continued to demonstrate in governance, combining delivery of projects and attending to issues of governance with none suffering.

He threw a challenge to those who feel jealous to also show capacity and combine project flag-off, inauguration and governance simultaneously if they can.

Providing the project description, Rivers State Commissioner for Works, Dr. George -Kelly Dakorinima Alabo said the Ogbo -Ihugbodo road is 6.1KM long, with about 4.1KM cutting through fresh vegetation.

He stated that the road is 7.3 meters wide, has 4KM length of drains on both sides and should be delivered within five months.

CROSS OVER AND MOVE ON:

When I started using pen in my primary school, and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting to my teacher.

Sometimes, I use chalk to clean my mistake but it later re-appeared.
So I began to use saliva, it worked, but only to leave holes in my books.
My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was to cover my error.

One day, a kind hearted teacher who loved me so much called me aside and he said, " Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on" .
He said further " Trying to erase your mistakes would only damage your book.
I told him in protest that I don't want people to see my mistake.
My loving teacher laughed and said " Trying to erase your mistake will make more people know about your mess and the stigma is for life".

Have you made some mistakes in life? Cross it over and move on.
Don't expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes.

Better things are ahead of you.
Strike your 2022 mistakes and move into 2023 with a fresh note.
Enjoy His unfailing Grace all through 2023. Jesus Christ remains your strength and shield.

Happy new year .
