APC does want any virile opposition against it - Gov Fayose

APC does want any virile opposition against it - Gov Fayose

 

 

Audacious Ekiti Governor, Mr Ayo Fayose, has said the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC wants the‎ Peoples Democratic Party, PDP dead as its a virile opposition to its obnoxious policies. The Governor said such a development would not, however, be in the interest of the country and Nigerians at large.

In a statement by the governor's Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, the governor was quoted as saying that a virile opposition was a vital ingredient for democracy and necessary to make democracy thrive.

Fayose, who could not attend the convention owing to the blockade of the road leading to the Old Presidential Lodge of the Rivers State government house where he was accommodated, said the condoning off of the Sharks Stadium, Port Harcourt by the police on the orders of the Inspector General of Police, had the input of the APC-led Federal Government, saying the police only acted the script written by the APC-led government.

"I witnessed what the police did early today in Port Harcourt, it is most unfortunate. It has shown that we are indeed in a perilous time in the country. The APC is desperate to kill opposition and silence others‎ because they are afraid that their inability to properly govern the country and tackle the challenges facing us as a nation would be exposed by a virile PDP.

"The Buhari government is dictatorial. There is tension everywhere.‎ All sectors are down and they are focusing on killing the opposition.‎ xxxWhat business has APC with PDP internal matters?

"If they said they wanted to act on court orders, why didn't they act on more than four orders that were in favour of the Markafi group?‎ They don't have answers to the terrible situations in the country but they know that an organised PDP will be embloden to challenge them," he said.

The governor wondered what would have happened if the PDP acted like the APC and refused to hand over to the APC last year. Fayose said it was unfortunate that Senator Ali Modu Sheriff had turned himself to an instrument in the hands of APC leaders to destablise the PDP.

 

* This kind of government is really unhealthy for the country's democracy *

Young Nigerian imprisoned for 10 years for raping a British teacher in Dubai

 

 

A young Nigerian salesman has been sentenced to 10 years in jail for raping a 32-year-old British teacher on New Year’s Eve. According to The Siasat Daily, the victim was returning home at 3am when she saw the man in the lift and mistook him for a resident.

"He asked me on which floor I was in, and as I reached my flat, I was surprised to see him following me. He said he wanted to make sure I was okay. I told him to stop and leave," the woman said. When the woman opened the door to her flat, he pushed her inside, stripped her, dragged her to a bed and raped her. She said.

"I resisted him hard but failed to stop him,” said the teacher, who ran to the toilet to hide. He and I were pulling the bathroom door but then he stopped and when I checked, I found that he was gone."

The woman dressed and went to a friend’s flat, where she called police. The police arrested the accused around 11am on the same day. The police officer said.

"He told us that he was visiting one of his friends in the same building but didn’t find him and that as he was leaving the building, he met the woman near the lift and she was drunk. He confessed to us that he had sex with her but said she asked him and she got undressed on her own."

Medical reports confirmed sexual activity but not the rape. Dubai Criminal Court convicted the defendant of charges including rape, physical assault and trespass and ordered his deportation after completion of his term. 

 

* What was he looking for in the woman ?*
