Popular Cross River born Nigerian music star, Iyanya Onoyom Mbuk, popularly known as Iyanya has denied reports making the round on social media that he has endorsed the governorship candidate of the All Progressive Congress, APC for the forthcoming elections in the state.

The multiple award winning musician in a reaction sent to Fearless Reports by his media aide, Offiong Akabom said his meeting with Owan Enoh lasted only for two minutes and was not political.

While admitting that Owan Enoh has apologized to him for the false story, the  Kukere Crooner added that he doesn't know him enough nor his plans for the state to have endorsed him.

He berated politicians and their media team over what he described as the manipulation to gain unmerited supports.

According to him "I never endorsed Owan Enoh, governorship candidate of APC in Cross River State
as it's been rumoured in the internet.

"I feel terrible about the manipulation of some politicians and their media team in a bid for power and unmerited support".

Iyanya added that "I have immediately sent a clear message to Mr. Owan Enoh about this and he has immediately communicated his sincere apologies as we’ve never met before now enough to endorse him. Our conversations were barely up to two minutes and we were  involved in a few handshakes and he asked to take photos.

I was bemused to find out the following day that his overzealous media team took an event that lasted less that two minutes to be an endorsement on my side.

I do not know his plans for Cross River State, neither I’m I partisan.

I ask all my fans, friends and family to disregard any news or rumor concerning me endorsing Mr. Owan Enoh. I have never endorsed him. Thank you".

It will be recall that Owan Enoh media team last week flooded the social media with pictures of the politician and the musician claiming that Iyanya has endorsed the APC candidate.

Iyanya reaction is coming barely few days after Prince Goddy Jedy Agba denied similar reports by Owan Enoh's media aide that he said Gov. Ben Ayade won't be Governor beyond 2019.

Breaking News!
The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja today set aside the December 14 2018 Judgement of the FCT High Court which upturned the election of HE Donald Duke as the presidential candidate of the SDP at its national convention of 6 October 2018 and declared Professor Jerry Gana instead.

In a unanimous judgement of the learned trial justices of the Court of Appeal presided over by Justice Adamu Jauro,  ruled in favour of Donald Duke as the SDP presidential candidate.
The Court said that there is no where in the constitution that says an aspirant from certain states can not aspire to be the president of Nigeria.
It also ruled that if there is anyone to be declare winner, that person must be the one that the people voted for at the Party National Convention.

The Court therefore set aside the Judgement of the Abuja High Court and declared Mr. Donald Duke as the SDP presidential candidate for the February 16 Presidential election.

CHARACTER OF A GOOD AND TRUSTWORTHY LEADER.
....Hon Jarigbe Agom patronizes a roadside provision store.

By Adoga Michael Oyi

Leadership is not a distinction between the rich and the poor, the have and the have not. A leader is a follower. But in our contemporary world especially Africa, leadership is seen as wealth making, and followers oppressing avenue. To identify leaders with the actual  traits of leadership is hard nowadays.

Some good characteristics of a good leader is inherent in Hon Jarigbe Agom the honorable member representing Ogoja/Yala federal constituency in the House of representatives. He was seen patronizing a roadside provision store in the street of Yahe community in Yala Local government Area. A trait so lacking in many, due to their different view of the subject "leadership". To Jarigbe,  "simplicity is the key to endless achievements in life".

His simplicity, accessibility, and sense of humor together with his overwhelming achievements are the reasons why the keenly observing people of Ogoja/Yala has thrown their supports on him. Hon Jarigbe has redefined leadership. They could be nothing greater than assisting and seeing your people doing graciously well.

Humility is a key figure in leadership. Pride goeth before a fall, no wonder Hon Jarigbe Agom keep soaring like eagles and not falling, "Humility is key".

My people Let's vote a leader that we can put a call across to and he will immediately pick up and attend to our needs. Hon Jarigbe is that man with virtually all the characteristics of a leader.

A political support group totally dedicated to the electoral Victory of the PDP Presidential candidates, Atiku Abubakar in the fourth coming elections mobilized support for Atiku and Ayade in Obanliku.

The  coordinator of the group and Secretary to the Cross River Government (SSG), Tina Banku Agbor, who was at the Cross River State PDP rally held at Sankwala, Obanliku, garnered massive support for Atiku and Ayade at the campaign.

In a campaign rally with unprecedented crowd of Obanliku people who came from all the nooks and crannies of the Local Government, equally saw the Atiku Angels featured prominently, chanting and singing songs in praises of Atiku and Ayade.

Speaking during the rally, the  coordinator of the support group, Barr. Tina Banku Agbor said that the Atiku Angels support group is totally committed to ensuring that the PDP Presidential candidate and Governor Ayade secured clean victory come February 16 and March 2, 2019.

"We in Atiku Angels support group are fully devoted towards ensuring that His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar achieved a landslide victory in the Presidential elections and our dear governor, Senator Ben Ayade secured his second term.

All our members from all the 18 LGAs  of the state were mobilized to come for the campaign rally that commenced on Tuesday in Yala and Ogoja and has moved to Obanliku today. You can see the Mammoth crowd and my support group chanting solidarity songs for Atiku and Ayade

In Obudu and Bekwarra on Thursday and in Boki my own LGA on Friday, we will equally mobilize our members and other people Atiku and Ayade, until victory is achieved", Barr. Agbor concluded.

The Paramount Ruler of Etung Local Government of Cross River State, His Royal Majesty, Ntufam (Dr) Emmanuel Oru says his subject and factional governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator John Ewan-Enoh stands no chance of winning the governorship election in March.

Speaking on the phone with prominent politicians from the local government, the monarch was very categorical that the election will be a walk over for the incumbent, Governor Ben Ayade.
Oru, who was unhappy with the false claims on social media by the APC that he had pledged his support for Owan-Enoh, said: “Enoh and APC are lying to the public. He (Enoh) cannot win. Election is not by appearance. Election is of the mind and Ayade will win this election.”
The monarch who described Ayade as his “very good friend,” said there was no chance in hell that he will enlist his support for Enoh.

It would be recalled that the monarch recently led a delegation of who is who in the politics of Etung, including the elder brother to the APC candidate, Professor Anthony Owan-Enoh to endorse Governor Ayade for second term.

The senior Special Assistant on mobilization and enlightenment to the Cross River State government has alerted the Online media Practitioners Association of Nigeria that the All Progressive Congress, APC, will soon flood online tabloids with false performance indices, deception and propaganda ahead of the 2019 elections.

Chief Mrs. Angela Ogeyi Odey stated this yesterday in porthacourt while playing host to the PDP youth wing.

She said the choice of the youths to visit her was not misplaced especially as campaign begins.

The publicity scribe stressed that in the past three and a half years, life has been traumatising for Nigerians and Nigerians, adding that a change in government has become inevitable.

“You have also come at a very august time because we are in the campaign session and your association will play a critical role ahead of the election in helping Nigerians to attain their desired goal of voting out the current party and its government at the centre and majority of the states in our federation.

“In the next few days, your organisation will be inundated with all manners of questionable copies such as adverts and stories that will contain false performance indices, outright lies and falsehood, deception and contrivance, blackmail and what have you.

“They will also present to you copies of news items, adverts that contain hate speeches, divisive content, character assassination and fake news. You have a critical role to play here.

I want to beg of you that the APC and its candidates will want to corrupt you with corruption fund that they are currently looting from government ministries, departments and agencies.”

Angela said that the APC in 2014 and 2015 was the purveyor of fake news in Nigeria and they did all that in order to deceive Nigerians at the end.

She continued: “Your visit to us today is very important because you have a responsibility to help Nigerians to create an environment where we will run open issue-based campaign because that is the desire of the PDP.

“Our desire is to ensure that the issue of hunger, the issue of starvation, the low purchasing power, the issue of 97% and 5%, the issues of the education rights of our children, the issue of how Nigeria can generate power for our people; these are the issue-based campaign that we want to run.”

The PDP said it would hold Buhari and the APC accountable, particularly on the promise made to Nigerians especially on security, economy and anti-graft war.

“We will prove to Nigerians that Buhari has failed and failed woefully in all these areas of promises. At some point they have started denying some promises that they made to Nigerians,” she added.
