     Twelve years after their last gathering, Governors from the Southern part of Nigeria will on Monday converge in Lagos to deliberate on how to forge stronger ties for the three geo-political zones.

FRSC WARNS THE PUBLIC OF THE FAKE FACEBOOK ACCOUNT OF BOBOYE OYEYEMI.#PRESS RELEASE.

Image
      The Federal Road Safety Corps Management’s attention has again been drawn to the fraudulent activities by some dubious individuals who are bent on using the images of the Corps Marshal of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Boboye Oyeyemi to open purported Facebook accounts with intent to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. This is obviously a fake account. Clearly someone is being mischievous and wants to pose as the Corps Marshal to exploit frien ds and followers who must have innocently accepted the Facebook requests. Conscious of the vulnerability of some people who might fall into the hands of these criminally minded people, we had earlier issued a disclaimer to warn members of the public to be wary of such deceptive plans. Accordingly, we have reported to Facebook Administrators and we want to warn members of the public not to take such fake and illegal account as genuine. The general public is hereby cautioned and/or advised to disregard any information or

         Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai during the flag-off of APC campaign in Anambra state said he was arrested and detained for two days during his visit to the state to help Senator Chris Ngige become governor. "One of the reasons why I was selected to speak on behalf of governors is not because of my height, it is because four years ago, when I came here to help senator Chris Ngige to be governor of this  state, I was arrested and detained for two days, why? It is not because Onwa and myself are both short people, It is because they are afraid." He said this in a video made available by Channels TV. However, in a lighter mood, just as he was making his speech, Ngige rushed in to measure who is, perhaps, taller between them. Meanwhile,  NAIJ.com  had reported that the governor of Kaduna state governor Nasir El-Rufai said that those calling for the restructuring of Nigeria are political opportunists and irresponsible.
