Under-Development: Cleric Blames Past Leaders
A clergy man in Rivers State, Pastor Abraham Oba of
Christian Compass Mission (CCM) has attributed the underdevelopment of Nigeria
to lack of sincerity in the part of past leaders.
Speaking in an interview with news men shortly after his
thanksgiving service last Sunday at Okrika, Pastor Oba said that past Nigerian
leaders were stressing that this situation did not allow them to evolve
policies and programmes that translated into national development.
The clergyman who is also a director in the Niger Delta
Development Commission (NDDC) stressed the need for leaders to put the interest
of the nation above regional and ethnic interest.
He said that the
Christian Compass Mission has contributed so much towards the
enthronment of peace in Okrika.
Pastor Oba explained
that the thanksgiving service was to thank God for his ten years marriage, one
year anniversary of his daughter’s birthday and 26 years anniversary of his
wife’s birthday.
The clergyman underscored the need for the people of Okrika
and the entire nation to seek the face of God by giving their lives to Christ.

Rivers Judiciary Denies Issuing Court Order Stopping SOLAD from Swearing in RSCSC Members
The Rivers State Judiciary has denied a media report claiming that Justice Frank Onyiri of the State High Court issued an injunction order restraining the Sole Administrator, Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas (rtd), from inaugurating the newly appointed members of the Rivers State Civil Service Commission (RSCSC).
In a statement issued by the Deputy Chief Registrar in charge of litigation at the High Court, Menenen Poromon (Esq), the state Judiciary disassociated itself from the report, describing it as malicious and fabricated.
The statement emphasized that the report was a falsehood and a misrepresentation of what transpeared in the court.
Poromon clarified that no such order was issued by Justice Onyiri or any other judge of the High Court of the state and urged the public to disregard the information, as it lacked any iota of truth.
The statement however advised the public to verify any information concerning the state Judiciary directly from the office of the Chief Registrar, High Court of the State, to avoid spreading of misinformation.
