The attention of COALITION OF ANIOMA PROFESSIONALS (CAP), a pressure group dedicated to the overall well-being of Anioma people world-wide has been drawn to a childish and laughable statement by a faceless cohort, under a fake name “Ndokwa Renaissance”. Sponsored, ostensibly, by a veiled political cartel, the hirelings threatened to mobilise the people of Delta North Senatorial District to recall Senator Ned Nwoko from the Senate. The unknown figureheads who signed the statement, Chinedu Egbenumolise and Dr. Uti Onyeukwu, said they were incensed by the comments of the distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko on the floor of the Senate calling for…

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) affirms that smear campaigns and frivolous litigations aimed to distract its candidate in the September 21, 2024 Edo State Governorship election, Dr. Asue Ighodalo are all efforts in futility as he is the undisputed choice of the majority of the people of Edo State. The PDP alerts that it is aware of a well-oiled plot by certain egocentric and overtly ambitious individuals to orchestrate a series of coordinated smear campaigns against Dr. Asue Ighodalo being frustrated by his emergence as candidate, his overwhelming popularity across the State and the fact that he is already coasting…

The Federal Government under President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has maintained an open arm relationship with the media. It is in line with the philosophy of the President as an avowed democrat who spent a lifetime fighting for the entrenchment of democracy and human rights. This administration has remained very tolerant of media criticism and guaranteed citizens’ rights to freedom of expression. It is however disheartening that some elements are abusing this free environment guaranteed by the Government. We are alarmed by the level of reckless reporting and statements by some media organisations and individuals that border on national security and…
By Jane Uyi Orobosa Thursday, July 4, 2024 witnessed an unprecedented distortion, misrepresentation and misinformation of what was the judgement delivered by Justice Iyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court, Abuja, in respect of the forthcoming governorship election in Edo State.

Former Cameroon striker and current Cameroon FA president, Samuel Eto’o has expressed his opinion that former Super Eagles midfielder, Jay Jay Okocha is on the same level as Barcelona great, Ronaldinho. According to Eto’o, who played alongside Ronaldinho at Barcelona, Okocha didn’t receive as much accolades during his career and described it as “the injustice of world football”.

We are compelled to address the ongoing wave of misinterpretations and disinformation surrounding the candidature of Dr. Asue Ighodalo, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) flag bearer for the 2024 elections.

This is a blatant attempt to mislead the public and sow seeds of doubt among our supporters. Let it be categorically stated: the candidature of Dr. Asue Ighodalo remains firmly intact. The recent judgement from the Federal High Court in Abuja does not, in…
