PDP Governors Condemn DSS Invasion Of Akwa Ibom Govt. House

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors Forum on Tuesday criticised the reported invasion of Akwa Ibom Government House by operatives of Department of State Service (DSS). The governors gave the condemnation after a meeting in the Bayelsa State Governor’s office in Yenagoa. The Chairman of the forum, Gov. Olusegun Mimiko of Ondo, who read a communiqué after the meeting, said the invasion was against the spirit and tenets of democratic norms and tradition. “We insist that the trend must stop henceforth. No democracy survives without a viable opposition in any part of the world. “And we must also remember to remind the APC that they are the real beneficiaries of the liberal democratic ethos of the PDP. “We once more advise the DSS to preoccupy itself with the task of ensuring internal security and desist from daily harassing and intimidating members of the opposition. “We implore the international community, the civil society organisations and human rights activists to call the All Progressives Party-led Federal Government to order,’’ Mimiko said. According to him, we all have a duty to prevent what looks to us like a steady slide of this country into dictatorship. Mimiko, who expressed worry of the PDP governors, described the alleged invasion of Akwa Ibom Government House by the DSS operatives as “an assault on democracy’’. He said that what happened in Akwa Ibom posed serious danger to the country’s fledgling democracy. Mimiko said the action was one of the continuous attempts by the APC-controlled government to stifle the opposition. NAN reports that two out of the 13 PDP governors and four deputy governors were present at the meeting. The governors were Mimiko and the host, Gov. Seriake Dickson. The deputy governors were Kingsley Otuaro, Delta; Kelechi Igwe, Ebonyi; and Yomi Awoniyi, Kogi.

Snoop Lion Excommunicated From The Rastafari Community

Snoop Lion excommunicated from the Rastafari Community, according to Bunny Wailer! Bunny has always had his doubts about  Snoop Lion ‘s intent and now his skepticism has taken an even stronger stance, that of excommunication. The news was broken via his  Facebook  profile and via  press release . Recently Snoop Lion has struggled to convince the Rastafari and Reggae community that he is sincere about his profession of, and transition to the faith, principles and beliefs of Rastafari. Most doubtful is Bunny Wailer the only living member of the original Wailer. ‘ Excommunication is a religious censure used to deprive, suspend, or limit membership in a religious community or to restrict certain rights within it. Some groups use the term disfellowship instead, ‘ stated Bunny’s official release. With that said, this would surely deprive Snoop Lion from direct contact to some elders within the Rastafarian community also, access to vital information and place of worship. Let us see
