Okorocha blasts Catholic Archbishop, Udenwa, others over hatred for Buhari, APC

-


The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, on Monday attacked the Catholic Archbishop of the Owerri Diocese, Most Reverend Anthony Obinna.
He alleged that the cleric, alongside ex-governor Achike Udenwa, his kinsman, Ezekiel Izuogu and a former chairman of the state Council of Traditional Rulers, Eze Cletus Ilomuanya, hated both the All Progressives Congress and President Muhammadu Buhari.
Okorocha said the Owerri Catholic Archbishop is a supporter of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, which he said, was made public in 2015.
The governor in a statement through his Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, noted that in 2015, the cleric openly supported the APGA governorship candidate, Captain Emma Iheanacho, and the then presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Dr Goodluck Jonathan.
He recalled thus, “In 2015, Governor Rochas Okorocha took President Muhammadu Buhari to Archbishop Obinna when he came on a campaign. They met privately for hours but two days after, his newspaper (The Leader) came up with the caption. “The Alhaji in Government House” and told the false story of how Okorocha was taking Igbo youths to the north to be Islamised. The medium up till today has never seen any reason to give the APC and President Buhari a chance.
“So they are working together now in support of Hope Uzodinma, whose claim of being a member of the APC is not up to six months. And the PDP chieftains like Udenwa also supporting the senator. These people cannot love APC or President Buhari.”

THE United Kingdom’s National Cyber Security Centre, NCSC, has said Huawei’s network equipment are not a threat to its security. This is despite restrictions in the United States on Huawei’s 5G network equipment and allegations that Chinese manufacturers are spying on the West. The centre also added that any potential risk posed from using the company’s equipment can be easily mitigated. UK Financial Times reported the NCSC has ruled out a blanket ban, but hasn’t formally settled on what to do in response to the US’s persuasion to ban the use of Huawei equipment.

INSECURITY: The South exported banditry, kidnapping, armed robbery to the North – Sani, ACF Scribe

The Secretary General of the Arewa Consultative Forum, Anthony Sani, in this interview, speaks on the state of the nation, saying the North is not afraid of Nigeria breaking up but prefers a strong, united country. According to him, those who accuse President Muhammadu Buhari of lack of performance are not being truthful because if Nigerians had adjudged him as a failure in his first term, they would not have voted him for second term. Let’s start with the issue of security on which many Nigerians think government hasn’t done much because kidnapping and banditry have continued to fester across the country despite the measures taken by the authorities. Where do you stand? For proper assessment of efforts by government, it is important to do fact checking on what was inherited and what obtains now. There was a time when people feared to gather in churches, in markets and in any ceremonies out of fear of attacks which transcended northern states and FCT. As a result, sense o...
