BY BEN AGANDE ABUJA – Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, Mr Louis Ebodaghe, has warned that unless President Goodluck Jonathan picked the right people who shared his vision of transforming Nigeria as his cabinet members, the huge expectations of Nigerians that his regime would transform their lives would be dashed. In an interview with Vanguard in Abuja, Mr Ebodaghe, who is a technical specialist in coagulation at Saint Joseph’s Hospital in the United States of America, noted that in view of the short time at the disposal of the president and the huge challenge he had to contend with, he must not sacrifice merit on the altar of political patronage

LAGOS — The Secretary of Akwa Ibom State professional group,  the Community Ambassadors, Mr. Mbuiotidem Affia, has urged Akwa Ibom State students not to shirk in their support for the Akwa Ibom State Governor, Dr. Godswill Akpabio.

Mbuiotidem said this during the visit of the National Association of Akwa Ibom Students, NAKIS, Lagos Chapter, to his office in Lagos.

The students were there to say thank you to the Community Ambassador’s scribe for sponsoring them to Akwa Ibom to participate in the election.

While responding to the students’ suggestion that he should be part of the new government in Akwa Ibom, he said it was not his first time of doing something for the state.

“During my undergraduate days at the University of Lagos, UNILAG, we organised ourselves (students), registered with school authority as the National Union of South-South students. I was the pioneer president.

”During our convention at the University of Port Harcourt, I was elected the National President, and a new name was adopted, the Union of Niger Delta Students,UNDS. We joined forces with the Niger Delta leaders to campaign for selection of a Nigerian president from the Niger Delta extraction,” Mbuiotidem told the visiting students.

”The fruit of the struggle,” according to him, ”is the emergence a Nigerian president of a South-South extraction.”
