APGA chieftain urges Obiano to sack non performing aides

A chieftain of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Rommy Ezeonwuka, has urged Gov. Willie Obiano of Anambra to sack non performing aides, if he wants to retain his seat in 2017.

Ezeonwuka gave the advice in an interview in Awka on Monday.

According to him, most of the commissioners and other aides appointed by the governor lack the vision and creativity to generate ideas to compliment the governor’s hard work.

“Things are going wrong in the state; the sycophants are not telling you the truth, they manufacture lies to please what you want to hear, that things are working.

“Ask your commissioners and other aides to submit to you the blueprint of what they have achieved since their appointments to justify their salaries.

“I advise that you sack them and inject goal-getters into your administration, so that we shall win the election again.

“I am more on the ground in the state to tell you the truth and nothing but the truth,” he claimed.

Ezeonwuka also advised the governor to review the activities of the tax agents appointed by the administration.

“As it is today, the government has lost its credibility with the masses due to the activities of some revenue agents, particularly the “Ocha Brigade’’.

“His Excellency may not know that Anambra today is worse than Borno where the Boko Haram sect is tormenting innocent people with the activities of some of these revenue agents.’’

Ezeonwuka, who is a member of the party’s Board of Trustees, claimed that the tax agents had sent many traders in Onitsha, including women, out of the state.

“The complaints are much, and it will be counter productive to us during the elections.”

FG berates US congressman over comment

Lai Mohammed, Minister of Information and Culture Photo: Femi Ipaye/PM News The Federal Government has described as sadly out of tune with reality the published letter from US Congressman Tom Marino to Secretary of State John Kerry, asking the US to withhold security assistance to Nigeria on the strength of some imaginary infraction by the Buhari Administration. In a statement issued in Abuja on Sunday, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said Congressman Marino was poorly informed about the issues he commented on, wondering why he did not take the pains to get first hand information from the US Embassy in Nigeria or any other credible source before engaging in what is nothing but a ‘propaganda of his own imagination’. The Minister said by asking the US to refrain from selling warplanes and other military equipment to Nigeria based on a faulty premise, the Congressman has demonstrated a poor understanding of global security issues. ”Insecurity anywhere i

The team captain and Borussia Dortmund star will lead the home players out for the opening game of the tournament against debutants Guinea-Bissau on 14 January in Libreville. Gabon have also named Sunderland midfielder Didier Ndong despite the player being left out of November’s World Cup qualifier in Mali. Ndong was in the capital city Libreville but failed to turn up for international duty ahead of the Mali game last month, forcing the Gabonese Football Federation [Fegafoot] to send him back to England. But a remorseful Ndong, who held clear-the-air talks with Fegafoot has been included in a 23-man Panthers squad. Other names to make the final party include Juventus midfielder Mario Lemina, Bruno Ecuélé Manga of Cardiff City and China-based striker Malick Evouna.
