"To our shock, our Registration Units in Tombia, old Bakana all in Kalabari axis of the State and Woji Ward 6 in Obio-Akpor LGA the Local Government Area of Chief Nyesom Wike were all attacked. Our Degema LGA Supervisory Committee Chairman for the Registration exercise and former Chairman Rivers State Civil Service Commission, Mr. Ben Orugbani escaped death when his house was shattered with bullets in the old Bakana just for accepting to ensure that this type of politics of odium and violence is stopped in Rivers State."

“Lagos APC is calling on the National Assembly to track and act on this deliberate breach of law and the security of Nigerian citizens before it becomes late. We are using this to draw attention of all Nigerians to this hideous plan, which stands to throw Nigeria’s safest state into protracted security turmoil. We urge Lagosians to remain vigilant and ensure they resist any efforts to use this illegal police to harass and intimidate them.

“For the avoidance of doubts, there are only about 200 federal roads of the more than 10,000 roads in Lagos. These federal roads are so ill maintained and so dilapidated that the Lagos State government, since 1999 has taken over the reconstruction and maintenance of some of these roads for the economic benefit of Nigerians.

"We want to alert Nigerians that FERMA is supposed to be intervention agency under the Federal Ministry of Works, saddled with the responsibility of maintaining federal roads in Nigeria. We want to also alert Nigerians that the incapacity of FERMA and its failure is advertised in the poor condition of federal roads all over the country. We also wish to remind Nigerians that FERMA had always explained its failure to maintain Nigerian roads to paucity of resources."

A governor who was at the meeting said, “Yes, we have picked Mu’azu. He will be presented to the members of the PDP NEC on Monday(today) for ratification.”
