Mr Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, the Rivers State Governor, on Saturday said other parties especially the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to avoid wasting their money for electioneering in the State, saying that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was the only party to beat in the 2023 general elections.

 

Vanguard reported that the governor made the statement during the State Honours and Awards ceremony held at the Government House in Port Harcourt, the State capital, at the Banquet Hall.

 

“Nobody would win here; lawyer, you must make money but here don’t worry yourself,” he said during the event, urging opposition parties not to waste their resources on campaigns. 

 

The Rivers state governor specifically passed the message to APC chieftains present at the occasion, which include SAN; Governor Dave Umahim of Ebonyi State, the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, and his Kogi State counterpart, Yahaya Bello, who were part of the awardees.

 

““I told Kogi State Governor, David Umahi, and Abubakar Malami when they came to visit me, ‘Don’t put money here it won’t work; it is a no-go area’,” Governor Wike boasted.

A boy identified as Solomon, 5 years ago was branded a witch in Akwa Ibom state and dumped on the streets to die.

It was reported that those who left the boy probably hoped that he dies from hunger and open weather, but aide workers saw the boy and picked him.

The life of the boy has been transformed after he was picked by the NGO organization, known as Land of Hope which was led by Anja Ringgren Lovén.

Lovén, while sharing the pictures wrote:

“The boy was accused of being a witch in the society, branded by the community he lives in and he was dying when we found him by the road side.

"However, today Solomon is 5 years after we rescue him from the street, he is healthy and strong. He has gained a lot of strength, grown and developed into a handsome young man.

"He is very smart, polite and calm. I can't even remember a time where he had a problem with the other children at Land of Hope or any kind of trouble in school."

Back to you, readers what can you say about those people that left this boy to die!
