FEDERAL APPOINTMENTS: HEAR AKUME AND DAVID MARK - from my archives 
   
TIV SOLD THEIR PRIDE AND BROTHERS FOR A BOTTLE OF BEER - DAVID MARK
Former Senate President, senator David Mark has advised his Tiv brothers to stop selling their cause and brothers for a bottle of beer and crying of the marginalization at federal level. 
 Senator Mark gave the advice at Kornya during the 2014 birthday celebration of Senator Barnabas Gemade advised the Tiv people to count him (Mark) out of the blame over the imbalanced recruitment and appointments at federal level. Adding that, Tiv people should start looking at him as a Benue son but not as Idoma man as well as advised that "I want beg my Tiv brothers to stop selling their brothers when somebody buy a bottle of beer for them but have a rethink and start looking at their brothers at the top as leaders or else nothing good will come their way. If you hear Gemade said something against Akume or Akume said something against David Mark or Suswam please keep it with you, you must not report it to find favour".

 FEDERAL APPOINTMENT NOT AKUME OR GEMADE'S BLAME - AKUME
   In his reaction, Senator George Akume said that "what the Tive people are complaining that we the representatives are not influencing federal jobs for Tivs is true but you all know that, it is PDP government that hates Tiv people, the government does not care about we the Tivs, we have no jobs in the PDP government despite our population. 
Don't blame Gemade and don't blame George Akume because we are trying in our own little way but the PDP government hates Tiv so much that it will not listen to us.
We have a governor today and remember I was once a governor of this state too. During my time we used to influence things from the federal government for Tivs but our governor of today can't fight and influence anything for Tivs".
Hmmmmmm HOW TIME FLIES.

LIST OF APPROVED VISITORS TO SGF'S RESIDENCE; FALSE AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED

LIST OF APPROVED VISITORS TO SGF'S RESIDENCE; FALSE AND SHOULD BE DISREGARDED Tuesday, April 8, 2025 It has come to the attention of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) His Excellency Senator George Akume, that there is an exclusive list making the rounds in the social media of persons approved who may be welcome at his Abuja residence. His Excellency the SGF urges the general public to discountenance the said list as a fabrication from the author's imagination which has nothing to do with him whatsoever. The SGF works for the entire nation, not just Benue State. He enjoins everyone to recall that as the public servant he has been all through his life, his residence anywhere and office alike have always been open to all manner and class of persons who have a reason and need to visit there. He says the doors to his home and office remain open to all persons whose intentions are genuine, as has always been the norm, and there is no exclusive list o...

AN OPEN LETTER TO ALHAJI ATIKU ABUBAKAR: THE CASE OF GOING TO EQUITY WITHOUT CLEAN HANDS FROM: DANJUMA ISAIAH My attention as a Public Affairs Commentator and Citizen of Wukari in Taraba State has been invited to various invectives of unprecedented dimension directed at His Excellency, Senator Godswill Akpabio, GCON by my brother, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar ostensibly to give oxygen to resurrect his endless political odyssey and sordid presidential ambition. I am weighing into this public narrative to interrogate various disruptions triggered by some notable politicians like Atiku Abubakar in our national life. It is hardly possible to build anything out of frustration and bitterness. This is sadly the predicament of a one-time Vice President, Atiku Abubakar who is on course to being enlisted in the Guinness Book of Records, as the only person globally, who has unsuccessfully contested for President for six times spanning 33 years. These bitterness and frustration have beclouded his reasoni...

CHIEF OYEGUN OFFICIALLY JOINS ADC 16th July, 2025 A former national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), John Odigie-Oyegun, has officially joined the African Democratic Congress (ADC). Oyegun, a former Edo State Governor, received the membership card of his new party on Tuesday. His membership card was handed to him by the party’s state chairman, Kennedy Odion, after he registered with the ADC in Benin city, the Edo State capital. Speaking at the presentation, Odion said the former APC national chairman is not new to the formation of political coalitions. He recalled Oyegun’s involvement with the formation of a coalition that led to the emergence of the APC in 2013 that eventually ousted the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015. He said: “He has put together what is called a coalition before, and he succeeded. So, in mathematics, once you understand the formula, the answer is in view. So, he understands how he did it before, ...
