Wike speaks on feud with Amaechi

Gov. Nyesom Wike of Rivers said on Friday that he has no personal problem with his predecessor, Mr Chibuike Amaechi.


Wike disclosed this at the 12 All Nigeria Editors Conference holding in Port Harcourt.

However, Wike explained that he and the Minister of Transportation differed politically because they belonged to different parties.

“There is nothing personal. We differ politically because we belong to different political politics.
“We want peace in the state and it is my desire to ensure that the state is peaceful,” he said.
Wike also said that former president Goodluck Jonathan did something special to ensure peace in the country by conceding defeat during the 2015 general election.


“Jonathan should be commended for this single act. People should emulate this move to ensure peace in the country,” the governor said.
According to Wike, Amaechi was his boss as governor and they had good times serving the state.
“We should make sacrifices for peace. The state must move on. We only differ politically and that should not be to the level that will destroy the state,” he said.


Wike also stressed the need for peace and unity in the country, urging Nigerians not to compromise that stand. (NAN)

Fulfilling my campaign promises will not be an easy task – Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Friday reiterated his resolve towards fulfilling his campaign promises to Nigerian.

Speaking at the Graduation Ceremony of Course 24 of the National Defence College, Abuja, the President noted that though it will not be easy, he is determined to live up to his promises.
According to the President, he and members of his team were trusting in God to deliver good governance through hard work and sound vision.

He said, “Let me assure you all that this administration is committed to bequeathing to this nation, a new orientation in leadership that will be service-driven and committed to the realisation of its promises to the electorates.

“We are however not under any illusions that this task is an easy one.
“But we have put our trust in God knowing that with hard work and sound vision, we will triumph.”
The President has recently come under heavy criticism following the current harsh economic reality in the country.

The recent and most shocking of the criticism was the one by his supporter in the 2015 election, Reverend Father Ejike Mbaka, who said that Nigerians’ high hope of Buhari had been dashed as a result of the current situation.

This fur coat was recently unveiled at a Fendi runway show by fashion legend Karl Lagerfeld - and Fendi said the coat will cost 'up to one million euros.' It's called the Sable coat and there's only one in the world - and it's the most expensive fur coat ever retailed.

Why does it cost so much? It's made from a species of marten that is found primarily in the forests of Russia and Siberia, and is unique because it retains its smoothness whichever way it is stroked and is considered the most beautiful and richly-tinted pelt among martens. See a photo of a marten after the cut...
