 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Cotswolds video may be a 'twisted stunt' in taxpayer-funded security dispute, royal expert says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently shared an Instagram video showing aspects of their family’s life in England’s Cotswolds. The post included details that some observers believed could help identify their location.  Royal commentator Tom Sykes criticized the decision, arguing that the couple should have been more cautious because such information could create security concerns.  He also suggested, without providing evidence, that the post may have been intended to strengthen their case for receiving taxpayer-funded police protection. Harry and Meghan lost their government-funded security after stepping back from royal duties and moving to the United States in 2020. Since then, Harry has sought the restoration of security for his family.  Following the couple’s recent return to the UK, the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (RAVEC) agre...

GOVERNOR WIKE DID NOT INSULT PDP.{PHOTO}.#PRESS RELEASE.

Image
      The attention of the Rivers State Government has been drawn to news circulating in the Social Media that Governor Nyesom Wike insulted the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The authors of the fake news quoted the Governor as saying that PDP has gone totally insane. Those who are close to the Governor know that he has very high regards for the leadership of the PDP, and as an accomplished legal practitioner he will never use suc h an uncouth language to talk about a party he has laboured selflessly to build. Governor Wike never berated the PDP for staging a protest against the Supreme Court judgement that ousted Hon. Emeka Ihedioha from office. It is laughable that mischief makers think they can use fake news to whittle down the rising political profile of Governor Wike. We make bold to say that Governor Wike remains a strong pillar, committed and loyal party man, who should not be associated with a call to sack the National Chairman of the ...
