    Charles Ajunwa 

    Former Managing Director/CEO of Imo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission, Charles Orie, has commended President Bola Tinubu for visiting Imo State, saying that the President’s visit is affirmation that Imo is safe.

    In a statement he personally signed, Orie said “It gives me immense joy and honour to warmly welcome you to our dear state, Imo. Your visit at this time is yet another affirmation to the world that Imo is safe, open for business, and fully aligned with the renewed progress and vision of your administration.

    “I also wish to specially salute our Governor, Distinguished Senator Hope Uzodimma, for his remarkable achievements over the past six years. His unwavering commitment to the people and his steadfast pursuit of development have truly repositioned Imo State for growth and stability.”

    The philanthropist further said that, “Governor Uzodimma has laid out strategic plans and consistently implemented policies to ensure that Ndi Imo enjoy the dividends of democracy. I am proud to acknowledge that he has remained faithful to those plans and has delivered with distinction.

    “Our great party, the APC, has continued to reposition Nigeria’s economy under your leadership, and we are already witnessing growth across various sectors of national life.

    “Your administration has set the tone for renewed hope through bold reforms in energy and petroleum, infrastructural expansion, investment in agriculture, and deliberate policies stimulating industrialisation. We are equally witnessing remarkable strides in the digital economy, job creation for our youth, and empowerment initiatives that continue to strengthen small and medium-scale enterprises nationwide.

    “These gains, though accompanied by understandable challenges, are laying a strong foundation for sustainable growth, prosperity, and a brighter future for all Nigerians.

    “As you embark on this important visit, I pray for its success and for God’s guidance upon all your engagements here in Imo State. May your journey back home be safe, and may your leadership continue to bring unity, peace, and prosperity to our nation.”

    Senator Abbo Denies Raping Minor, Says He Was Never in Police Custody

    Sunday Aborisade in Abuja

    Former lawmaker representing Adamawa North Senatorial District, Senator Ishaku Elisha Abbo, has refuted reports linking him to the rape of a 13-year-old secondary school pupil, insisting that he has not been arrested or detained by the police over the matter.

    The embattled senator, who spoke to journalists  yesterday, described the allegation as “baseless, unfounded and mischievous,” dismissing reports that he was in police custody.

    He said, “I was at my Katampe Extension residence in Abuja throughout Thursday and never at any police station, let alone in custody.”

    He alleged that the story was the handiwork of his political detractors bent on tarnishing his image.

    He further disclosed that he had earlier reported a case of attempted extortion to the police.

    The case, he said, involved a woman who allegedly demanded N5 million from him. 

    According to him, both parties were invited for questioning at the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), but he was surprised to see a different narrative trending in the media weeks after.

    The rape allegation surfaced online on Thursday, with reports claiming that Abbo assaulted a minor on June 29, 2025, at his Abuja residence. 

    The family of the alleged victim, according to the report, accused the senator of trying to suppress the case by offering money to the girl’s father.

    The victims parents, the report added, also alleged that Senator Aishatu Binani, the 2023 Adamawa governorship candidate, visited them to dissuade further action.

    This latest controversy adds to a series of scandals that have trailed Abbo’s political career. 

    In 2019, he was caught on camera assaulting a woman in an Abuja sex toy shop, a viral incident that drew nationwide outrage. 

    He had also previously been accused of attempting to blackmail a married woman with an alleged sex tape.

    Despite the controversies, Abbo maintained that the latest allegation was politically motivated and vowed to defend his name.
