Peter Obi lies like fish drinking water –Festus Keyamo Minister of Aviation, Festus Keyamo, has accused the 2027 Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of deliberately fabricating claims regarding a recent airport incident. Speaking during an interview on Channels Television’s ‘Politics Today’ on Thursday night, July 30, Keyamo alleged that Obi lied about his experience at the airport to score political points. “That man was lying. He lies like a fish drinking water. He lies. He lies for fun,” Keyamo stated. The Minister noted that Obi had publicly complained of facing harassment from airport officials strictly due to his opposition status. Keyamo argued that it was unfair for a political figure to make sweeping accusations against airport staff without providing room for official verification or allowing the ministry to review the facts. “He was the one that complained that he was being harassed at the airport and that because of his opposition statu...
Lagos Statee Governor,Mr Akinwunmi Ambode today friday explained the rationale behind the decision of his administration to host Muslims in twenty centres across the State for the Eid-el-fitri celebration,saying that it was part of the Strategy to bring about bonding among the people and enhnce community participation in governance.Speaking at Lagos House when he received members of the Lagos State Council of Obas and Chiefs on a courtesy visit,Governor Ambode said it had been observed overtime that people travel from far and near to celebrate with the first family in the State during festivities,and that the decision to host Muslims in various centres across the State was basically to address such trend on one hand,and also to give greater number of people the sense of participation in governance on the other hand.He said: ''Like you are aware ,we intend to celebrate the Ramadan in the various communities and I need to make some explanation here,before now,anytime were having festivities maybe Ramadan,Christmas,New Year and so on,people normally converge at the State House to come and greet the first family and so you see people coming all the way from Badagry or coming all the way from Igbogbo or Epe and then they come to celebrate with us.I find out that sometimes,they ,might even spend N3,000 to get here and go home with maybe N500 and so in my own little wisdom,I think if I make them remain in their communities and they celebrate there,there is likely a position for us to start to practice government of inclusion so that everybody feels government everywhere.Instead of somebody coming from Badagry ,the Local Government,the Community Development Associations {CDAs},the traditional rulers,the Chief Imams and every other person will celebrate the Ramadan and recital of Quran in their communities and so there is a sense of belonging and so instead of 2,000 people coming to Ikeja,I am likely to have one million people across the State doing the same thing at the same time and in doing that,they will get the sense of involvement.So,we must practice community governance using our different platforms to celebrate ourselves,'' Governor Ambode explained.
