Don’t die for any politician, they’re friends struggling for national cake – Kukah warns

The Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Matthew Kukah has cautioned loyalists of politicians not to kill themselves in demonstrating support for their candidates.

According to the erudite priest, opposition politicians are friends jostling for their piece of the national cake and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

Kukah spoke on ChannelsTV Tuesday hours after the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Tinubu; and his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) counterpart, Atiku Abubakar, were pictured chatting at the private wing of the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport in Abuja on Monday.

Kukah, who is the Convener of the National Peace Committee, said political fanatics should learn a lesson from the public exchange of pleasantries between Tinubu and Atiku.

“These politicians are struggling and they’ve lived their lives struggling for the national cake which they will distribute amongst themselves. It is therefore in the interest of ordinary Nigerians to know that they have to vote to stay alive,” the revered cleric said.

Kukah also said that enthusiasts of politicians “must understand that these politicians know themselves” regardless of their grandstanding and posturing.

He, therefore, advised supporters of candidates all over the country to be “a bit more restrained and wise”.

“We ordinary people must figure out how to manage our passion when it comes to politics. Don’t take seriously the grandstanding of the politicians.

“All the things you see about them abusing themselves or quarreling, you will think they will never shake hands. They are very good friends, and many of them drink from the same pool. So, don’t go and kill yourself for nothing. That is what that message is all about,” he said.

Nigerian man who killed his wife arrested by Police in Delta

Delta State Police Command has arrested a middle-aged man, David Olori, who murdered his 42-year-old wife, Oghogho Olori, in Ozoro, Isoko North Local Government Area of the state.

Spokesperson of the command, DSP Bright Edafe, confirmed the arrest in a statement on Friday, November 11, 2022.

According to the PPRO, police acted on a distress call from the younger brother of the victim who found her dead in their apartment.

The victim’s brother had visited because he had not heard from her for some time but discovered that the door to the apartment was locked.

“On 2/11/2020, the DPO Ozoro received a distress call that on same date, the house of one Oghogho Olori ‘f’ aged 42years was visited by her younger brother who has not heard from her for some time, but he discovered that the door to the apartment was locked from outside which an offensive odour was emitting from the apartment,” the statement read.

“The DPO swiftly mobilized men who broke into the apartment and discovered that the victim has been murdered and the husband was nowhere to be found.

CBN Governor, Emefiele’s policies bringing APC to disrepute – Tinubu Support Group

The South South Agenda for Tinubu/Shettima (SSAT) has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to audit the accounts of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

It said the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele should be suspended from office to enable the board of the Bank, of which the Governor is Chairman, as well as the Financial Reporting Council, to look into the books of the Bank unhindered.

It claimed that the monetary policies of the Central Bank of Nigeria in recent times were bringing the ruling APC to disrepute.

In a press statement through their National Coordinator, Mr. Bitrus Nta Oliver, the group threatened to commence legal action against President Buhari and the Senate if they failed to do the needful.

It insisted that an independent audit of the bank will expose the damage Mr. Godwin Emefiele had allegedly done to the Bank and indeed the Nigerian economy.

“If we do not see any action by the President within the next 96 hours, we shall immediately launch a suit to compel the suspension of the Governor from office because as the Chairman of the Board of the bank, he cannot be a judge in his own case.

“So, he will have to step aside while the Board looks into the books alongside the Financial Reporting Council,” he stressed.

Bitrus further blamed the current economic woes of the country on Mr. Emefiele and his incompetence.

He said, “Removal of Emefiele immediately as the Governor of the CBN will help redeem the economy of the country and draw it back from the brink.

“He has abused his office by using the same to get involved in politics and investors do not have confidence in our monetary policy anymore”.

However, there have been several calls and criticism against the leadership of the Bank since the announcement of the decision of the Bank to redesign the N200, N500 and N1,000 banknotes, which will cease to be legal tender by the 31st of January, 2023.
