Ekweremadu, Enugu West Pray For Buhari
This was also on a day the people of Enugu West Senatorial District massively endorsed the Governor of Enugu State, Hon. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, for a second term in office.
Ekweremadu prayed at the Expanded Stakeholders Meeting of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Enugu West Senatorial District.
He said: “We must always remember that the President of the country, Muhammadu Buhari, is in London for medical treatment. We must pause at every opportunity to remember him in our prayers.
“This is not about PDP or All Progressives Congress, APC, or any other party for that matter. He is the President of every Nigerian, irrespective of political divide, ethnicity, and religion. Besides, we are all human and prone to illness.
“It is, therefore, not only our prayer that God in his infinite mercy and grace will heal and bring him back at the earliest possible time to continue to lead this great country, but we also pray for divine vision, wisdom, and protection for him at all times. This is the least we owe him as a nation”.
The Deputy President of the Senate also proposed a motion, which was unanimously adopted by the mammoth gathering, endorsing Governor Ugwuanyi for a second term in office come 2019.
To make good their support, Ekweremadu presented two 18-seater buses donated by Enugu West PDP towards the reelection of the Governor.
Earlier, Member representing Aninri/Awgu/Oji River Federal Constituency, Hon. Toby Okechukwu, said the massive support to Ugwuanyi were in appreciation of the development efforts of his administration in every part of Enugu West, in addition to political appointments to the people.
The event also witnessed the defection of over 5,000 members of other political parties, notably, APC, Labour Party, and All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, among others, to the PDP.
The Enugu West Zonal Chairman of PDP, Hon. Okey Ozoani, and the State Chairman, Chief Augustine Nnamani, received them.
In his speech, Governor Ugwuanyi announced that Local Government election would hold in the State later in the year, while efforts were at advanced stage to move the College of Education (Technical), Enugu, to Ihe, Awgu LGA, and upgrade it to a University.
Investigations by Nigerian Concord Newspaper reveal that the Executive Secretary of the Nigerian Shippers Council, Mr. Pius Akutah, has allegedly misappropriated public funds for a lavish lifestyle.
According to our findings, within months of assuming office, Akutah allegedly purchased a bulletproof SUV valued at approximately N850 million. In addition, he is reported to have acquired over twenty exotic SUVs for use as a convoy.
Akutah is also said to have acquired multiple high-value properties, including three in Abuja’s Maitama and Asokoro districts worth over N2 billion, and two in Lagos’ Banana Island valued at N1.8 billion. These acquisitions appear far beyond the scope of his official salary and allowances.
Further investigation suggests that Akutah may be using public funds to support political ambitions, including allegedly grooming militants across 23 local government areas in Benue State for a potential 2027 gubernatorial bid.
Staff of the Shippers Council reportedly claim that Akutah frequently accesses the council’s treasury without proper authorization. Some insiders have indicated that a petition will soon be filed with the EFCC, ICPC, and the Presidency to report his alleged misconduct.
