Rivers guber: Gov. Wike, Senator Abe react to Appeal Court ruling


The lawmaker representing Rivers East West Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Magnus Abe has reacted to the Appeal Court ruling which granted Stay of Execution on the Judgement of Justice Kolawole Omotosho of the Federal High Court, which nullified all primaries of the party.
According to NAN, Patrick Luke, counsel to Abe, who is also a factional governorship candidate in the state, said the ruling had not changed the position that APC candidates had been omitted in the election list.
Luke, who is counsel for Abe and 42 others, in suit No: CA3/37/2019, said “The appellant asked for a stay of execution of judgement of the federal High Court delivered on Jan. 7. They also asked for a restraining order.”
“At the end of the proceedings today, the Court of Appeal, Port Harcourt Division, delivered a ruling and refused the reliefs restraining INEC from obeying orders of the reliefs that were sought in the Federal High Court judgement,’’ he said.
Also reacting to the ruling through his Campaign Organisation, the State Governor, Nyesom Wike, said he was not perturbed by the decision.
Emma Okah, the spokesman of the organisation, said Wike was confident of winning the election because of his achievements in the state.
“We are not perturbed. We are not afraid of any candidate contesting against Gov. Nyesom Wike.
“His achievements in the state will speak for him and the people of Rivers State will surely grant him victory any day,’’ he said. GPRS NEWS.COM

Female genital mutilation

Good morning my wonderful people! Its a beautiful Monday morning, I'm so excited to write to you today😊😊 I really want to discus a very important issue happening right around us, in our society that lots of us ignore. I call it an Abominable act perpetrated by our parents and still perpetrating by ignorant people. My people I bring today's topic to you ' FEMALE GINITAL MUTILATION' Introduction: Female genital mutilation (FGM) includes any procedure that alters or injures the female genital organs for non-medical reasons. In its most severe form, after removing the sensitive clitoris, the genitals are cut and stitched closed so that the woman cannot have or enjoy sex. A tiny piece of wood or reed is inserted to leave a small opening for the necessary flow of urine, and monthly blood when she comes of age (most FGM is carried out on infants or young girls before they reach puberty). When she is ready to have sex and a baby, she is "unstitched" - a

Relationship

Now ladies let's talk about relationships “Three years down the drain! What was I thinking?” Just got out of a relationship and was waking up to all of the red flags that she’d ignored since Day 1. The subtle ways he avoided talking about their future together… … or the way he spoke to other women when she was around… … or how he always seemed to be missing during important moments in her life, but always had a clever excuse waiting when she got upset. You see, when you fall in love, it’s easier to sweep those red flags under the rug and focus on all of the good things. But, of course, those red flags were signals that something was fundamentally wrong with the relationship... … and she ended up spending 3 years in a relationship that never had a chance. Now, I WISH this was an isolated case. But this happens ALL THE TIME to women fall into the same predictable traps. And quite frankly, it breaks my heart seeing all of this happen all the time...... So ladies,

MY SUICIDE NOTE

I’ve read about two suicide cases in two days. One was about #segun and the other one about the UNN student who had a first class. A lot of people’s comments have been so cruel and all they call them is cowards, selfish, weak and so many other unprintable names. These guys and many more who have committed or attempted suicide didn’t want to die. They love life like you and me but all they wanted to was to end the pain and dying looks like it’s what gives them the avenue to do that. Pain can alter you forever. Pain can make you unrecognizable to yourself. What we also need to know is that everyone’s threshold for pain is different. I have had two babies and I can tell you that the last pain nearly took me out until the gynecologist offered me an option for Caesarean or Epidural Injection. Meanwhile, some people can handle labor pain well even for the next 48 hours without any form of relief. Does that make me less of a woman? NO!! It just means I have a low threshold
