BENUE GOVERNOR DENIES BEEN BEHIND IMPORTED CONTAINER OF SNAKES,FROGS,SPIDERS AND GECKOS

By

The Benue State government has denied the reports alleging that the consignments containing snakes intercepted by the Nigeria Customs in Calabar belongs to Governor Samuel Ortom.

It described it as another desperate smear campaign by members of the opposition.

Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr Terver Akase Mr Akase said the report published on social media by some opposition elements had once more brought to the fore the sponsored publications to attack the person of the Governor in order to distract him from continued delivery of good governance to the people of the state.

According to him, the original report on the interception of the consignments‎ did not name the owner of the containers.

"That report on the intercepted consignments in Calabar which was skewed and published on facebook by opposition members in Benue State is proof that most of these young men who call themselves opposition on social media are bereft of any idea to help develop their state.

"The cacophony of ridiculous lies they posted claiming that Governor Ortom is the owner of the intercepted consignments is not only false; it is also shameful", the CPS stated.

Mr Akase said Governor Ortom "has led a revolution in agriculture with numerous initiatives to make the state live the true meaning of its status as the food basket of the nation since he assumed the leadership of Benue State but snake farming is not part of the agriculture programme of the state."

The Chief Press Secretary stressed that even in his private capacity, Governor Ortom does not own a snake farm and will never encourage anyone to go into the business.

Ever since President Muhammadu Buhari took over the mantle of leadership of this great country Nigeria, we(Hausa-Fulanis) have come under severe media attack from enemies of progress. Just because they are educated than us, they stereotype us with negativity. Just because they own and control the media, they use the media against us. But let me make something clear to you stupid fellows hating us, whether you love us or hate us, it doesn't change anything. We are who we are and we will continue to remain like that. We hate you even more and we can never love you because you are all infidels.

THE WOMAN BEHIND THE STORY OF TRUMP'S TWITTER STORM

The woman behind the story Of Trump's Twitter storm March 7th 2017, Late last month, a former British Member of Parliament named Louise Mensch took to her favorite medium, Twitter, to make her latest bombshell allegation: “I absolutely believe that Andrew Breitbart was murdered by Putin,” Mensch wrote in a Feb. 24 tweet about the 2012 death of the conservative founder of Breitbart.com (who, according to a coroner’s report, died near his house in Los Angeles from heart failure with no sign of foul play). Until recently, Mensch’s conspiracy-minded tweets about dark Russian and American plots didn’t get much attention.  But all that changed after President Trump charged in his own Saturday morning Twitter storm that President Barack Obama had wiretapped his phone, an explosive allegation that appears to trace back to a four-month old story by Mensch in Heat Street, a libertarian-oriented website site owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp. On Nov. 7, the day before the presid...
