‘Metuh Never Received N1.4 billion Or N4 million Monthly from ONSA’ – PDP Publicity

The office of the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has noted certain apparently sponsored reports in some section of the media dropping figures and falsely claiming that Chief Olisa Metuh got the sum of N1.4 billion in addition to receiving N4 million monthly stipend from the Office of the former National Security Adviser, according to Mr. Richard Ihediwa

Special Assistant To PDP National Publicity Secretary.

He said the reports are completely false, mischievous and fabricated to mislead the public and derail the course of proper investigation on issues relating to Chief Metuh.

For the avoidance of doubt, neither Chief Metuh nor his office received the figures being bandied. We therefore challenge the EFCC to substantiate that Chief Metuh received the said N1.4 billion figure as well as make public any evidence that he ever received N4 million monthly stipend from the Office of the National Security Adviser.

This office is deeply worried at the turnout of events since Tuesday when Chief Metuh was arrested and detained while fictitious figures continue to be bandied against him in the media.

Chief Metuh, as a well-known citizen and a public figure had always stated his readiness to honor any invitation by the EFCC or any agency of government for that matter on any issue regarding any allegations against him.

He therefore persuaded that the continued detention of Chief Metuh is ostensibly part of the plot by the APC to silence or keep the opposition spokesperson out of circulation for obvious reasons of clipping the wings of the opposition PDP.

Ekwunife Defects To APC Before Fresh Poll

A former Senator, who represented Anambra Central Senatorial District before her election was annulled by a court, Uche Ekwunife, has defected to the All Progressives Congress, APC, from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Mrs Ekwunife, in an interview with Channels Television on Friday, said she defected because thesenatorial primaries were shifted indefinitely by her former party, the PDP in protest over the arrest of the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Olisa Metuh.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had on Tuesday, January 5, arrested the National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Olisa Metuh.

A statement issued by the Special Assistant to Mr Metuh stated that he was arrested on Tuesday morning at about 10:00AM at his home by four officials of the EFCC and was taken away in an unmarked white Hiace bus.

The statement added that the officials told the opposition party spokesman that he was being invited on a friendly note to answer questions at the anti-graft agency’s headquarters in Abuja.

Mrs Ekwunife added that since the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said there could not be fresh candidate for the election, shifting the primaries, where she would have been endorsed for the exercise, might affect her candidacy under the PDP.

According to her, she decided to take a walk to the APC to actualise her ambition.

Mrs Ekwunife added that she is returning to the Senate to complete her contract with the people in her  senatorial district.

The Appeal Court sitting in Enugu, the Enugu State capital, had on December 6 ordered the INEC to conduct a fresh election in the district within 90 days.

Delivering the judgment, Justice Datijo Yahaya said that the election of Mrs Ekwunife on March 28, 2015, did not meet the prescription of the Electoral Act.

Mrs Ekwunife had contested alongside the APC candidate, Senator Chris Ngige, who is now the Minister of Labour and may not be vying for the Senatorial seat.

Ben Carson asks Iowa fifth graders, ‘Who’s the worst student?’ and kids single out their classmate in front of crowd

Dr. Ben Carson, shown at a Wednesday event in Panora, Iowa, accidentally singled out a fifth-grade boy when the Republican presidential candidate invoked a common refrain of his campaign.

Flailing Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson stumbled his way into the role of bully at an event in Iowa Thursday.

Carson asked a class of fifth graders, “Who’s the worst student?” and over a half-dozen kids pointed to their classmate in front of a crowd of 500 people in Cedar Rapids, The Des Moines Register reported.

The neurosurgeon turned candidate chuckled with those in attendance but explained, in a frequently used refrain, that his fifth grade class in Detroit had labeled him the “dumbest person in the world.”

Carson later met with the boy subjected to the finger-pointing, Seth of the Isaac Newton Christian Academy, and urged him to become a neurosurgeon, too, The Hill reported. The boy told reporters his feelings weren’t hurt.

Carson has plummeted to fourth place in Iowa’s GOP primary at 9% after leading the field at 29% on Oct. 31, according to a Real Clear Politics survey of Iowa polls. His campaign manager and communications director resigned late last month.
