Governor Okorocha identifies culprits behind burning of APC secretariat in Imo State

-


The governor of Imo State , Rochas Okorocha, has blamed defectors to the party for the fire incident that occurred at the All Progressives Congress, APC, secretariat in Owerri on Friday.
In a statement by his spokesman, Sam Onwuemeodo, the governor said the fire may not be unconnected to the frustrations of some of the party men over the disputed ward congress in the state.

 He said: “The State Secretariat of All Progressives Congress, APC, located at Imo State University Junction, Okigwe road Owerri was this evening, Friday, May 11, 2018 set ablaze by thugs obviously working for the opponents of the administration and they had hidden under the heavy rain in Owerri at that time, to carry out the disdainful act.
“It should be recalled that APC in Imo has remained a peaceful Party until the entry of those known for thuggery and carrying of ballot boxes into the Party.

 “Their frustration must have arisen from their inability to convince leaders of APC and Nigerians in general that they didn’t steal the sensitive materials meant for the Ward Congresses of the Party in the State last Saturday, being May 5, 2018.

 “Obviously their current claims have heavily contradicted their claims on video that Saturday and thereby making it difficult for them to convince their audience that they never stole Sensitive materials for the Ward Congresses in the State.
“Governor Rochas Okorocha in all his Political life has not been known for Political thuggery or violence. And that is the reason those in the so-called Coalition are exceeding their bound even when most of them have not won their booths in any election.

 “It is also important to warn that people should not take Governor Okorocha’s high level Political tolerance and unbridled peaceful dispositions for granted or interpret such virtues to mean weakness. A word should be enough for the wise.

 “Meanwhile, the governor has asked the Commissioner of Police in the State to launch full-scale investigation into the incident and ensure that the culprits are apprehended to face the consequences of their action,” the statement added.

A new vaccine-based treatment for HIV has succeeded in suppressing the virus in five patients, raising hopes further research could help prevent Aids without the need for daily drugs. Independent of the United Kingdom reported on Friday that researchers combined two innovative HIV vaccines with a drug usually used to treat cancer in the trial, conducted over three years at the IrsiCaixa Aids Research Institute in Barcelona. After receiving the treatment, the virus was undetectable in five out of 24 participants and its spread was stopped by their immune systems, reported the New Scientist. One of them has been drug-free for seven months. Around 18 million people – half of all those living with HIV around the world – take ART to slow the progression of the infection, according to the UN. But these drugs are expensive and can cause unpleasant side effects. Patients have to remember to take them every day, sometimes over their entire lives. Mitchell Warren, executive dire...

Nigeria's imediate past minister of Finance ,Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala has been indicted by the Nigerian senate over a N1.7t loss in revenue. According to the Senate Ad Hoc Committee on Alleged Misuse, Under-Remittance and Other Fraudulent Activities, revenue agencies short-changed the Federal Government to the tune of N1.7tn as unremitted revenue generated between 2012 and 2016. The panel blamed it on a memo by a former Minister of Finance, Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who allegedly issued the memo to the agencies to remit 25 per cent of revenue they generated to the Federal Government and spend 75 per cent on their expenditures. An interim report by the committee chaired by Senator Olamilekan Adeola, details this. The panel said the amount to be remitted to the Federal Government during the period by 93 agencies it investigated was N21.5tn. It alleged that 25 of the 93 agencies covered defrauded the government of a total of N1,695,585,887,406.
