Governor of Enugu State, Dr. Peter Mbah has commended Nigerians for their resilience in the face of challenges, urging them to continue to keep hope alive, as the current effort to reposition the county would ultimately yield fruits.

Mbah also called for national unity, which he said, remained a major factor in moving the nation forward.

He stated these in his goodwill message to the people of Enugu State and Nigerians on the occasion of the nation’s 64th independence anniversary on Tuesday.

“On this milestone celebration of Nigeria’s 64th Independence Anniversary, I congratulate Ndi Enugu – and, indeed, all Nigerians.

“I commend them for their resilient spirit and patriotic fervor, and enjoin them not to feel downcast by the challenges of today. Challenges dissipate in the face of undying optimism.

“As the old saying goes: Hope springs eternal! There is certainly light at the end of the tunnel, especially given the strong determination of our dear president to turn the situation around for good.

“Let us continue to support the government and demonstrate absolute unity. Indeed, our independence – and the many decades after – stand as proofs of how much we can achieve when we stay united.

“Happy 64th Independence Anniversary to Ndi Enugu – and all Nigerians,” the governor said.

“I urge every resident to reflect on the spirit of our national day and take personal and collective responsibility for the development of our communities,” Wike said in his Independence Day message to FCT residents.

Bobrisky, VeryDarkMan saga unnecessary, Nigeria has real challenges – Buhari’s ex-aide slams NASS

Bobrisky, VeryDarkMan saga unnecessary, Nigeria has real challenges – Buhari’s ex-aide slams NASS

A former media aide to ex-President Muhammadu Buhari, Bashir Ahmad, has described the National Assembly’s investigative hearing into the saga between two social media influencers as unnecessary.

Ahmad said Nigeria has real national issues of importance that the National Assembly should attend to and not the saga between crossdresser, Idris Okuneye aka Bobrisky, and Martins Ortse, also known as VeryDarkMan.

Posting on X, Ahmad wrote: “Forming a National Assembly committee to investigate the VDM and Bobrisky saga is completely unnecessary.

“Nigeria is currently grappling with far more pressing challenges, and this issue holds no real national importance, at all.”

VeryDarkMan had released an audio of Bobrisky claiming to have bribed some officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, with N15 million.

In the audio, the crossdresser claimed that the money was meant to drop money laundering charges against him.

Bobrisky also disclosed that his ‘godfather’ ensured he never spent his six months jail term in Kirikiri prison.

The revelation made by VeryDarkMan led to an investigative hearing by the House of Representatives on Monday.

While VeryDarkMan appeared before the committee, Bobrisky sent his lawyer in his absence.

During the hearing, both the EFCC and Nigeria Correctional Service, NCoS, denied any wrong doings.
