The governor, who received the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Farouk Yahaya at the Government House in Benin City, on Tuesday, appealed for the setting up of military base in areas prone to kidnapping and armed robbery along Benin - Auchi Road. Obaseki also received the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, stating the need to set up a special squad to tackle arms build-up in Edo communities. Speaking to the Army chief, Obaseki noted: “First, l have to commend you and your men for the cooperation that we have continued to enjoy with them.  However, we are still having security challenges, especially the spate of kidnapping on Benin - Auchi axis.

The National Vice-Chairman of Nigeria’s main opposition party, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Chief Dan Orbih, on Tuesday described the Petroleum Industry law recently signed by President Muhammadu Buhari as not only insensitive but a brazen act of injustice. In a statement personally signed by him and made available to newsmen, Chief Orbih said that the President had stayed true to character by choosing to ignore the huge outcries of the people of the South-South over the meager allocation of three percent to the oil-bearing communities in the new law. He also stressed that the Buhari-led All Progressives Congress(APC) had shown, by its hurried assent of the disputed bill, that it did not mean well for the South-South, and called on the people of the region to reject the ruling party and embrace PDP. The statement read in part:  “Stakeholders in the South-South region have taken a critical look at the Petroleum Industry Bill recently enacted into law by President Muhammadu Buhari...

PDP Mourns Ex-Deputy Senate President, Mantu ...NWC reschedules today’s meeting in his honour...... To meet tomorrow  The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is heartbroken over the death of one of its leading elders, a member of its Board of Trustees (BoT) and former Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ibrahim Nasir Mantu. Our party is indeed devastated and inconsolable over this huge tragedy which have befallen not only the PDP but our entire nation, Nigeria, at large.  Senator Mantu was a highly resourceful leader, an excellent lawmaker, exemplary democrat and dazzling political mobiliser; a very humble and detribalized statesman, who spent his life in innumerable sacrifices towards the unity, stability and economic development of our dear fatherland. The PDP recalls the incalculable contributions by Senator Mantu, who brought his love for the nation as well as his skills to bear in the Senate where he served as Chairman, Senate Committee on Information as well as the Deputy...

It is with a heavy heart that I mourn the passing of a great son of Edo State, a brother, a distinguished Nigerian, an illustrious businessman and an accomplished philanthropist, Captain Hosa Okunbo.  A man of unparalleled energy and accomplishments, Captain Okunbo saw opportunities in adversity and from an early age in life, carved a niche for himself to become one of Nigeria’s most outstanding businessmen. A trained pilot, he conquered the air at an early age and set for the waters and land, building enterprises that distinguished him in the business world and embodied the hard work, perseverance, dexterity and acumen that espoused his Edo heritage. Okunbo was a philanthropist who gave lavishly of himself and his resources; thousands of Edo sons and daughters benefited from his charitable works and benevolence. As a mortal, Captain Okunbo was not a perfect person just as none of us can claim to be, but he will be remembered for his undying love for Edo people. His desire for the ...

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) cautions former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, not to further infuriate Nigerians by trying to dry-clean the rudderless, inept and debauched All Progressives Congress (APC), despite the unbearable devastation the APC has brought to our nation in a space of six years. The PDP asserts that trying to compare the incompetent and decadent APC to the highly productive and development-oriented PDP is an unpardonable disservice to our nation and calls to question the sense of judgment of Profession Jega. The PDP further holds as worrisome that Prof. Jega, who only recently and rightly so, described the APC and the Buhari administration as a failure, is now attempting an image laundering with such a warped comparison, just a few weeks after he was offered a juicy appointment as Chairman of Governing Council of University of Jos by President Buhari. It is indeed unfortunate that Prof. Jega, as a professor ...
