Happy International menstrual hygiene day to all mothers and girl child.

~~~~~THE EAGLES VOICE BLOG REPORTING~~~~~~

In the event President Muhammadu Buhari appoints former minority leader Godswill Akpabio, there might be a fresh round of crisis in the APC, especially the Akwa Ibom chapter where the formr governor defected to the ruling party last year.

The National Daily gathered that some elders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom are protesting already, two days to Buhari’s inauguration for a second term.

Speaking under the aegis of Ibom Integrity & Servant Leadership Culture Initiative, the elders in a letter to President Buhari, argued that appointing Akpabio would be an invitation to crisis in the state.
They believe Akpabio is not a genuine APC member.

In a letter entitled Ministerial Appointment: Why Appointing Akpabio May be Counter Productive, the elders argued that the state is peopled with men of integrity who fit into ministerial positions to help actualise the APC-led government’s next level agenda.
“APC’s poor outing in Akwa Ibom in the last general election was, to a large extent, due Akpabio’s destabilising and authoritarian tendencies, as he only believes that it is either his way or nobody’s.

“Akpabio’s actions left many party members bruised, trampled and disgruntled, which affected the chances of our governorship candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere at the polls,” they stated.
The letter was signed by the group’s Executive Vice President, Dr. Asuquo Edidem Etim, a copy of which was sent to APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomole, Secretary to Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha and Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.
Akpabio suddenly bolted out of his PDP last year, and joined the ruling APC which gave a ticket contest the Senate election for the second term.
He, however, lost.
And many have speculated Buhari might compensate him by appointing the former senator into his cabinet.

Chief Nwodo president Ohaneze Ndigbo

By Emeka Mamah

Enugu—Ohanaeze Ndigbo has bemoaned the recent presidential order banning ownership of guns in the country, saying it was sign that ominous cloud was gathering in the country.


Spokesman for the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Emeka Attamah, made this known in a statement in Enugu, yesterday.

Reacting to the Executive Order by President Muhammadu Buhari not only banning issuance of gun licences, but withdrawing already issued ones, Ohanaeze said: “This is ominous. The storm is gathering and will soon bare its fangs.


“The uninitiated continue to wallow in self-deceit until the vultures scavenge for the carcasses. The signs are clear. Why wait for doomsday?”

In a related development, the spokesman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Chuks Ibegbu, has asked the Federal Government to tell Nigerians the truth about the proposed Fulani radio station and why other Nigerian radio stations cannot meet the same objectives.

Ibegbu warned Nigerian officials to stop doing anything that would raise suspicion or divide the nation the more, noting that a radio station has nothing to do with the killings and kidnappings by herdsmen.

Ibegbu also asked the Federal Government to open a radio station for pro-Biafran movements, Boko Haram, Shi’ites and other agitating groups and even for criminals that make life brutish for Nigerians.
