Patience Jonathan, wife of the president has got the nod to use Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium by the Edo State Government despite applying for the stadium after Aisha Buahri, wife of the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate did same.
For avoidance of trouble, Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo pleaded with Mrs Buhari to allow Patience Jonathan use the stadium in a bid to allow peace reign in the state.
In a statement signed by Louis Odion, Commissioner of Information and Orientation, he said: “The mix-up in the use of the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium on Saturday, March 14, 2015 was occasioned by the laxity on the part of the officials of the Ministry of Sports who, without reference to their supervisors, proceeded to collect money and issue receipt only yesterday (Tuesday) to the PDP for use of the stadium knowing full well that the APC had, last week, applied for and got approval for use of same facility same day.
“In fact, jingles were already running on local television and radio stations announcing that the wife of APC’s presidential candidate, Hajia Aisha Buhari, would be in Benin on Saturday, March 14, 2015 to deliver the message of change to Edo women.
“For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state that being the owner of the said facility, Edo State Government reserves the right to insist that the party that got approval first be allowed use of the stadium. In the circumstance, we imagine the idle denizens of Edo PDP must by now be salivating at the prospects of having an opportunity to unleash mayhem on peace-loving people of Edo State with the excuse that money was collected from them.
“But as civilized people, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole has directed that Mrs. Patience Jonathan, the First Lady, be granted use of the stadium on Saturday, while Hajia Aisha Buhari, wife of the APC presidential candidate will have her turn on another day,” the statement read.

ReplyDeleteThis moronic mama hippopotamus has come again. Sai Buhari
ReplyDeleteNE stop junk journalism. She never prevented Buhari's wife from using the stadium. Blame the stadium management for not doing a a good job and not Mrs jonathan
ReplyDeleteOk, so she "Allowed" Buhari's wife to use the stadium? did you not read that Buhari's wife booked it first, shouldnt she have allowed her to use it instead?
DeleteAre you Daft? Does it mean you cannot understand simple sentences. Is Patience Jonathan supposed to know who booked the facility First? She only declared her interest to make use of the facility, it then behoves on the management to duly inform her that another person has indicated interest before her. Why do you AP€s showcase so much hatred and ignorance like your Oga at the Top?
DeleteThis guy is a big fool.All over the world, jonalism always use the Headline to attract the readers. You don't jugde with that but must read through the story to capture the main picture of what happened.
DeleteHas Patience booked the place to come and tell people to stone proponents of change again? Edo people be wise.
DeleteThe party (APC) always allow Peace to reign. The party (APC) always scared the Corrupt Leaders. The Party (APC) always define Integrity.
ReplyDeleteIf the Head is Good, d whole body system is Good but if the Head is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt.

ReplyDeleteNice Job for rephrasing the title of the article but u should not have removed my comments because there wasn't any wrong with it, I never made any hate speech or inciting speech. NE being an information broadcasting site, U should also learn to accept criticism just like how we all criticize our leaders and yet it is published event without any facts, we are suppose to learn from being criticized and come out stronger and I believe you got our message that was why u rephrased the headings and I would appreciate if u published my earlier comments because we have freedom of information and if not everything that Lai Moh'd and FFK says should be sensored. Thanks

ReplyDeleteWhy is this First Lady wasting our money? Can't she read the hand writing on the wall that GEJ can't win the coming election or why is she disturbing our upcoming First Lady?
ReplyDeleteUntil then, she is still our FIRST LADY and deserves all the respect.

ReplyDelete"MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN". That was the handwriting on the wall, which Belshezer didn't understand. GEJ, still cannot understand, neither can he learn from history. O.J
