APC Reps Candidate Decamps to PDP Days to Supplementary Polls in Rivers

By Emmanuel Sunday: Candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Port Harcourt Constituency 2 seat in the House of Representatives, Sir Collyns Owhondah, has dumped his party for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). Addressing journalists in Port Harcourt on Thursday, Owhondah said he has also dropped his interest in participating in the National Assembly supplementary election scheduled for Saturday, April 15. The former APC chieftain in Port Harcourt City Local Government Area, noted that the APC in Rivers State has never been serious for any elections in the state and had no strategy in place for winning the polls, but waits to fail and blame INEC and security agencies for their woes. He advised the APC governorship candidate in the just concluded 2023 elections in the state, Pastor Tonye Cole to stop being deceived by those urging him to challenge the outcome of the election at the tribunal, adding that they will not support him financially.

By Lanre Olagunju At 96, Dame Stella Obuoforibo Okuyiga has found a way to outlive herself. Not through science or medicine, but through her book.  At the launch of The Origin of Police Women in Nigeria: The Story of the Pioneer Women Officers and My Journey in the Nigeria Police Force, the retired Deputy Commissioner of Police expressed excitement at the thought of her book living on in libraries across the world. Even when she is gone, she hopes her story will continue to speak.  On October 13, in Port Harcourt, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, Inspector-General of Police, joined her in preserving that history.
