Earlier today a report surfaced the internet about Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah Saying he “ I’ll contest Anambra governorship election – Ubah” . There’s a opposing report which says its not true. The attention of Dr. Patrick Ifeanyi Ubah has been drawn to the news report published by Punch news online and other news publications especially some online blogs, that he is exhibiting interest to contest the next governorship election in Anambra state.

Minister of Transport and former Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi has said that immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan, clearly turned his deaf ears to the plight of the Ogoni people and the Niger Delta in general. Amaechi, who in his address at the flag-off of the implementation of the UNEC report on Ogoniland acknowledged the presence of his successor, Nyesom Wike, lamented that he did everything within his power as a governor to make Jonathan implement the UNEC report on Ogoniland. He said, “We did everything possible as a sitting government to make the president implement the UNEC report, everything.

He, however, thanked the President Buhari -led administration for coming to the aid of the Ogoni people and for fulfilling part of his campaign promises of cleaning up the region.
