[dropcap]P[/dropcap]resident Bola Tinubu has written to the National Assembly, seeking an amendment to the 2022 supplementary appropriation Act.
Tinubu, in a letter to the House of Representatives, said the amendment was to allow the Federal Government to source ₦500 billion for palliatives to cushion the effect of subsidy removal on Premium Motor Spirit known as petrol.
During plenary on Wednesday, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Tajudeen Abbas, read Tinubu’s letter, titled, ‘Request for the amendment of the 2022 appropriation act’.
According to the President, the money would be sourced from the 2022 supplementary Appropriation Act of ₦819.5 billion.
“I write to request the approval of the House of Representatives for the amendment of the 2022 supplementary appropriation act in accordance with the attached.
“The request has become necessary in other to among other things source for funds necessary to provide palliatives to mitigate the effect of the recent removal of fuel subsidy on Nigerians.
“Thus the sum of ₦500 billion only has been extracted from the 2022 supplementary appropriation act of ₦819.536 billion for the provision of palliatives to Nigerians to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy removal. I hope that the House of Representatives will consider the request,” the letter read.
This is coming about six weeks after Tinubu announced that the payment of subsidy on petroleum was over.
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Speaker of the Delta State House of Assembly (DTHA), Rt. Hon. Emomotimi Guwor, affirmed that the legislative, executive and judiciary arms of government need the Community Newspapers to function credibly, stressing that without Community Publishers, Communities will not be informed on the policies and activities of the government.
The speaker gave the commendation when the Chairman of the Association of Community Newspaper Publishers of Nigeria, (ACNPN)Comr. Jude Obiemienyego led his members to a courtesy visit in his office at Asaba, the state capital.
Rt. Hon. Guwor maintained that there was the need to continue to maintain the cordiality among the three arms of government and the Forth Estate of the Realm in the state so as to attract greater dividends of democracy to the people as espoused by state government, adding that Community Publishers should endeavour to report issues correctly and shun the pull to publicize fake news for whatever reasons. He has advised Community Publishers to continue to exhibit core tenets of the profession anchored on objectivity, fairness and balance in their reportage as it was the only way to engender an egalitarian society.
Rt. (Hon) Guwor, maintained that the Delta State House of Assembly under his leadership will partner with Association of Community Newspaper Publishers of Nigeria (ACNPN) for better working relationship that will lead the state to greater height.
Delta Sate Chairman of ACNPN, Comrade Jude Obiemenyego, in his remarks, assured that the association will work with the legislative arm of government in actualising good policies that would bring upliftment and development to the State.

He assured that the association will work with the legislative arm of government in actualising good policies that would bring upliftment and development to the State.
Distinguished Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi(SPON)
[dropcap]D[/dropcap]istinguished Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi(SPON)can only be compared to the biblical Joseph, going by the trajectory of his early days, Oracle in Politics, as he is fondly called, has so many attributable tales which are in sync with the biblical Joseph. It is impossible to castrate a lion, render it impotent or silence its roar. Senator Nwaoboshi is the voice of the voiceless, he is a warrior, he fears nothing, He fear no-one, He is as constant as the northern star and He will ALWAYS stand against evil.
Senator Nwaoboshi as a man of coat of many colours just like Joseph,After Joseph regained his freedom from prison, he became Prime Minister in a foreign land. Similar kismet was also meted on SPON, and he came out triumphantly.
Some people saw tomorrow and raised the dust of unbending enmity and got Distinguished Senator Nwaoboshi incarcerated but God as a chain breaker broke the prison gate and set his anointed free by giving him a resounding victory at the Supreme Court, as justice delayed was never a justice denied in his case.
Most Distinguished Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi (SPON)
And it became obvious to the blind and audible enough to the deaf that the sheer persecution of Nwaoboshi is a disingenuous enterprise to depreciate his lofty political capital ahead of the much dreaded 2023 Senatorial election. With his proficient wealth of experience, Nwaoboshi has the administrative paraphernalia and wherewithal to hold the highest political office in the country.
The Supreme Court’s judgment acquitting Senator Peter Nwaoboshi of money laundering and fraud charges filed against him by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s shows why the anti-graft agency ought to be reformed and disband.
Thoughts of the injustice that the appelant had been through and what he suffered as a consequence. Secondly, for the rape of our country through impunity and wanton abuse of power and privileges. For ages, I have been crying for this country; when will I stop? Perhaps now that we have renewed hope.Let’s look briefly at the facts of the case and what the Supreme Court judges said.
Firstly, it was established that Nwaoboshi’s company legitimately obtained a loan from Nexim Bank. It was from this loan that the payment of N322m was made in respect of the property purchased. The money could not, therefore, be rightly or sensibly described as a proceed of crime. Further, the loan was subsequently repaid with interest on the loan. The court stressed the obvious: that disputes pertaining to loans were the subject of civil litigation and not criminal prosecution, so the EFCC had no business prosecuting Nwaoboshi and the companies. In any case, NEXIM Bank had not lodged any complaint in respect of the loan.
Senator Nwaoboshi was said in this matter to have acquired Guinea House in Apapa, Lagos, for the sum of N805m.(Eight Hundred and Five Million Naira) The EFCC said he reasonably ought to have known that N322m (Three Hundred and Twenty Two Million Naira) out of the purchase sum formed part of proceeds of an unlawful act. The sum of N322m had been transferred to the vendor of the property by order of Suiming Eectricals Limited on behalf of SPON and Golden Touch. The prosecution claimed that this was an offence contrary to sections 15(2)(d)and 18(a)of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act, 2011, (as amended). The Senator and his firms Golden Touch Construction Project Ltd and Suiming Electrical Ltd were prosecuted for money laundering and fraud.
Distinguished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi
According to Section 15(2)(d): Any person or body corporate, in or outside Nigeria, who directly or indirectly acquires, uses, retains or takes possession or control of; any fund or property, knowingly or reasonably ought to have known that such fund or property is, or forms part of the proceeds of an unlawful act; commits an offence of money laundering.
Section 18 (a): A person who conspires with, aids, abets or counsels any other person to commit an offence under this Act, commits an offence and is liable on conviction to the same punishment as is prescribed for that offence under this Act.
Soon after the trial began in Lagos, the judge, Justice Mohammed Idris, was elevated to the Court of Appeal. The President of the Court of Appeal,Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, gave authorisation for Justice Idris to conclude the case before resuming at the appellate court, and Justice Idris promised to hear the case on a daily basis until it was concluded but the EFCC, despite having called two witnesses, declined the offer, and opted for the case to start afresh before new judge. This was a reversal of the usual situation where it is politicians, rather than prosecutors, who seek to stall proceedings.
In June 2021, he ruled that the prosecution had failed to prove its case and discharged Senator Nwaoboshi.EFCC was dissatisfied with the lower court rulings and filed an appeal. On June 2022, the Court of Appeal in Lagos upheld the appeal,Illegally sentenced Senator Nwaoboshi to seven years imprisonment for money laundering, and ordered the two companies to be wound up.
Senator Nwaoboshi proceeded to the Supreme Court. The elections into the National Assembly were at hand but efforts to obtain bail or have the case disposed of before the elections were unsuccessful. The All Progressives Congress (APC) had to proceed to the election in the absence of its candidate for Delta North Senatorial District.
Justice was finally served on Friday, 7 July 2023 when the Supreme Court gave judgment. The Court held that Senator Nwaoboshi and his two companies, Golden Touch Construction Project Ltd and Suiming Electrical Limited,were unjustly and maliciously prosecuted by the EFCC. It upheld the appeal, set aside the judgment of the Court of Appeal, and ordered the release of Senator Nwaoboshi.
Justices John Okoro, Uwani Aba-Aji and Adamu Jauro agreed with the lead judgment, written by Justice Emmanuel Agim, while Justice Ibrahim Saulawa dissented. So, how did the Court arrive at this decision? There were a number of reasons.
Senator Peter Nwaoboshi
In other words, the Court of Appeal convicted Senator Nwaoboshi and the companies of an offence(diversion of fund) for which they were not tried at the lower court. Upbraiding the Court of Appeal on this, the Supreme Court explained that if a man obtains a loan for establishment of a farm but decides to use part of it to marry a wife, he has committed no known crime. The Court explained that once a loan has been transferred to a loanee, the money becomes the property of the loanee; he becomes a debtor but he, and not the bank, is the owner of the money, and he can legally do whatever he wishes with the money. So, any claim of fraudulent conversion in this regard cannot stand. The arrest, prosecution and conviction of Senator Nwaoboshi in the absence of any crime was against the spirit and letter of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Having explained the reasons for its decision, the Court expressed its displeasure with the EFCC in strong terms. It expressed its disappointment that the EFCC,which had a large body of senior and junior lawyers in its employment and is supported by a battery of senior advocates,could bring this case to court; it was an abuse of process. The Court noted that the initial petition to the EFCC which triggered this prosecution contained 20 allegations, only one of which the EFCC found worthy of pursuing. It was clear, the Court said,that the petitioner had an axe to grind. It advised the EFCC not to allow itself to be used by unscrupulous elements to pursue personal vendetta.
According to Senator Nwaoboshi’s lawyer,Kanu Agabi SAN thanked the Court for fair dispensation of justice but lamented the use of the judicial process to oppress the innocent. Senator Nwaoboshi, he said, was able to get justice because he could afford to reach the apex court; imagine what would have been the plight of the innocent Nigerian who could not afford to get as far as the Supreme Court.This is not the first time that the EFCC has been criticised by the judiciary. In 2021, the Court of Appeal in Abuja accused the EFCC of gross abuse of statutory powers and abusing the fundamental rights of a citizen in an “oppressive, repressive and condemnable” manner. On various occasions over the years since its inception, the EFCC has been urged by human rights groups and politicians to resist being used as a tool of political oppression.It is clear to the discerning Nigerians that Nwaoboshi’s case was used by the EFCC to settle political scores, the aim being to get the Distinguished Senator out of circulation,to pave way for the perpetrators’ electoral success.That is the challenge before us today and that is the reality of Nigerian politics.
Senator Peter Nwaoboshi
“Nwaoboshi’s incarceration will not in any way diminish his relevance, acceptance and winsomeness in the last 2023 general election. Come to think of it what would his opponent used to campaign against him, if not for his illegal imprisonment by his evil political enemies? As far as we are concerned, we still need a ranking senator and that is what will position Anioma nation visibly in the red chamber, he will secure a leadership position soon.” it is quite unfortunate that Delta North sons were involved in the incarceration and illegal imprisonment of an illustrious Anioma son.
“Nwaoboshi will always remain relevant in Delta North politics. He is already a household name and a champion of the Anioma nation. His contribution to the development of the nation cannot be wished away by a non-starter. Today, in Delta politics, Nwaoboshi remains the third tripod known to contemporary Delta politics.”
Distinguished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi is a LION! No man can silence his roar!!!
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Chief of Staff to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State, Hon Johnson Erijo, has challenged community development unions in the state to justify their corporate existence.
Hon Erijo, while playing host to a delegation of the Aviara Town Development Union, Asaba branch, in his office on Friday, noted that some community development unions were merely in existence for socials at the expense of contributing to community development for which they were founded.
The Chief of Staff maintained that grassroots development should be championed by development unions before the government could come in to complement self help efforts, insisting that any community expecting the government to shoulder the responsibility of providing every social amenity would experience serious set backs
He stated that such unions should also be able to form cooperatives to pool resources for soft loans and financial assistance to needy members, adding that indigent locals with impressive academic records could be assisted to further their education as part of community development.
Hon Erijo restated the commitment of the Oborevwori administration to advancing Delta beyond its present level of development and called on the community development unions to contribute their quota towards actualizing the vision.
The Chief of Staff commended the Asaba branch of the Aviara Town Development Union for bringing together sons and daughters of the community under one umbrella at its monthly meetings to discuss issues affecting the community and proffer solutions.
Hon Erijo assured the delegation that he was holding the position of Chief of Staff in trust for all Deltans and promised to remain a good ambassador of the Aviara community in the discharge of his duties.
The Asaba branch Chairman of the Union, Barr Israel Umuerri, who led the delegation, congratulated Hon Erijo on his appointment, describing him as an illustrious son of Aviara Kingdom, who had impacted positively on the lives of many Indigenes.
He said the Union was a veritable platform for all Indigenes of Aviara resident in Asaba and the environs, pointing out that it had contributed to community development, as well as the well-being of members.
Barr Umuerri pledged the support of the Union for the Oborevwori administration.

[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Supreme Court has set aside the conviction and sentencing to seven years imprisonment of Sen. Peter Nwaoboshi for offences of fraud and money laundering.
In a lead judgment by Justice Emmanuel Agim, the apex court held that Nwaobishi and the two companies were unjustly and maliciously prosecuted by the EFCC for committing no offences known to the law, which subjected them to a needless criminal trial in relation to civil transactions.
The court set aside the July 1, 2022 judgment of the Court of Appeal, Lagos, which had reversed their discharge and acquittal by a Federal High Court in Lagos
The apex court, therefore, ordered his immediate release from Ikoyi prisons in Lagos, where he is currently being held.
The supreme court also freed the two companies – Golden Touch Construction Project Ltd and Suiming Electrical Ltd – tried with him on a two-count charge brought against them by EFCC.
Recall that EFCC had accused Nwaoboshi and his companies of illegally acquiring a property named Guinea House on Marine Road, in Apapa, Lagos, for N805 million, the property is said to belong to the Delta State Govt.
The anti-graft agency had claimed that part of the money paid for the property was transferred by Suiming Electrical Ltd on behalf of Nwaoboshi and Golden Touch Construction Project Ltd, adding the funds are believed to be proceeds of their illicit activities.
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]he Association of Local Government of Nigeria (ALGON), Delta State chapter, clarified reports disseminated in a section of the media concerning the N40 billion borrowed to pay pensions of primary school and local government pensioners in the state.
The state ALGON chairman, Hon. Victor Ebonka on Monday July 3rd 2023, shortly after the meeting of the Joint Account Allocation Committee (JAAC) in Asaba, clarified that it was not the state government that was borrowing the funds.
further stated that, “In this country constitutionally, we have three arms of government; the federal, the state and local governments. We all have seperated our duties”.
He also stated that it’s was their duty to pay local government staff and primary schools teachers, and the recent chaos was a carry over from the previous administration.
He also stated that the state government did not borrow N40 billion as reported, the only role played by the state government was to give approval and forward same to the state assembly for rectification.
In this regard he said it’s was the local council that are borrowing the money, “You need an approval from the state government and the rectification of the state Assembly, and it’s was granted by the governor and approved by the state house assembly.
“In no moment from now the pensioners will smile home and all the accrued right money will be directly paid to pensioners”, he added.

[dropcap]N[/dropcap]ewly inaugurated member representing Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency in the Federal House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Ngozi Lawrence Okolie of Labour Party, has pledged to deliver quality representation to his constituents, even as he has assured the people to expect a better and robust representation in the green chamber of the national assembly.
Hon Ngozi Okolie, who made the pledge while speaking during the National Assembly Inauguration Reception/Thanksgiving service to mark his induction as member representing the constituency, which held at Emmanuel De Saviour Catholic Church, GRA, Asaba, on Sunday, June 25, 2023, declared that he cannot overlook the hand of God in his electoral victory hence he deemed it necessary, just like the biblical story of the ten lepers where only one out of the ten lepers who were healed, came back to thank God for the miracle, to hold the thanksgiving service in commemoration of his victory at the February 25 polls.
Assuring the people of Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency of effectively representing their interest at the Federal Legislature, Hon. Okolie emphasized that they made applauded them for making the that they made the right decision to elect him as the first indigene of Oshimili South to represent the Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
He stressed that as a well known grassroots person, he cannot afford to fail them, even as he promised proper engagement with the people in the collective effort to deliver the dividends of democracy to his Constituency and constituents.
Earlier at the thanksgiving service held the Emmanuel De Saviour Catholic Church, Asaba, Reverend Father Peter Mobuogwu in a homily encouraged Christians not to give up hope or entertain fears while facing unfulfilled dreams.
He stated that power and authority come from God and admonished people to learn to humble and hope on God.
According to him “in a democratic setting the power to choose leaders belonged to the people, as was demonstrated in the case of Ngozi Okolie, who had made several unsuccessful attempts in the past to represent his people”.
The Priest therefore urged the federal lawmaker not to take the mandate given to him by the people of Aniocha/Oshimili for granted now that it had pleased God to place him in the National Assembly this time around.
At the reception, which held at Uga Umueze Afadia, in Umuaji quarters, Asaba the Asagba of Asaba, His Royal Majesty Asagba Prof. Chike Edozien represented by the Ihonor of Asaba/Secretary to the Asagba in Council Chief Patrick Ndili noted that this was the first time somebody from Asaba was going to represent the constituency since 1999.
He prayed for his success and called on him remain a grass root man and accessible as he is known for.
Dignitaries from all walks of life graced the occasion including some members from the ruling PDP and APC coupled with a lot of cultural displays.
Delta North Political watchers will recall that, prior to the election of Hon. Ngozi Lawrence Okolie in 2023, the representation for Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency, comprising Four LGAS; Aniocha North, Aniocha South, Oshimili North and Oshimili South, at the Federal House of Reps, had been dominated by the the two Aniocha Constituencies, since 1999; Hon. Ned Nwoko and recently, Hon. Ndudi Elumelu both from Aniocha North and Hon. Paschal Nwaoranine Adigwe and Hon. Joan Onyemachi Bielonwu (Mrakpor), from Aniocha South respectively.
Hon. Ngozi Okolie has thus broken the Aniocha jinx by emerging as the first indigene from the Oshimili axis, this time Oshimili South and indeed from Asaba the State capital community/town, to represent the Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives.
We wish to inform the general public to beware of impostors who use the name of grassroots Newspaper Publishers Network to solicit for interviews, adverts or award presentation to always confirm the authenticity of such transaction through the following numbers:
09029375906 | 08149835420
