EXPOSED!!! How Bola #Tinubu And Wike Secretly Met In France—-A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Joe Igbokwe, has said Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has travelled to France to meet with the presidential flagbearer of the party, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.

This online platform learnt that Wike recently travelled to Turkey where he met with Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State. He hasn’t returned to the country since he travelled out.

Also, this paper reported that Tinubu is currently in France where he will be holding an important meeting, according to his aide, Tunde Rahman.

Igbokwe, in a post on Facebook on Thursday, said Wike and Tinubu will be meeting in France. He, however, failed to state what their meeting will be about.

“While they are on Social Media abusing everybody Gov Wike goes to France to meet Asiwaju. Abuse, calling names, hate and bigotry are no strategy. They hated and abused PMB since 2015 and now they have transferred the aggression to Asiwaju. We wait and see,” he wrote.

The meeting, if true, may not be unconnected to the crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party.

On Wednesday, former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, called for the 2023 Presidency to go to the South. This is despite his party already fielding a northerner in the person of former vice president Atiku Abubakar as its presidential flagbearer.

His words also followed an Arise TV interview in which Governor Samuel Ortom of Benue State urged the PDP and Atiku to go and beg Wike. According to Ortom, the party had treated Wike badly.

Recall that the PDP has been somewhat uneasy since Atiku chose Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as his running mate, with the majority of governors withdrawing their support for the Atiku-Okowa ticket.

Speaking on the ruckus within the main opposition party, Governor Ortom of Benue State said that Atiku must go and apologize to Governor Wike, whom he denied the chance to be his running mate despite 14 out of 17 people voting for the ticket. Ortom said the move is important in order for peace to reign within the PDP and for major party stakeholders to support Atiku.

There have been rumors of Wike leaving the party ever since the development, but even though the Rivers State governor hasn’t openly stated his plans, an alleged alliance with Tinubu would be a major victory for the former Lagos governor in 2023.

As of the time this story was published, Tinubu was reportedly in France, and it is unclear whether Governor Wike’s decision to travel to France at this time was merely coincidental or an intentional attempt to meet with the powerful man of Lagos outside the shores of Nigeria. Again 2023 is coming with a lot of intrigues and more will sure unfold.

Bobrisky: NCoS Anticipate Investigation outcome, Clarifies Inmate Admission Process—-The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has confirmed an ongoing investigation into allegations surrounding convicted cross dresser, Idris Okuneye, also known as Bobrisky’s accommodation, with findings pending.

Abubakar Umar, Deputy Controller of Corrections (DCC) Service Public Relations Officer (SPRO) disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.

Umar also highlighted the service’s commitment to rehabilitation and safety through its comprehensive inmate admission process.

NAN recalls that Bobrisky was convicted for mutilating the naira in April and was sentenced to six months in jail.

NAN also reports that Mr Vincent Otse, social media influencer and human rights activist known as Very Dark Man (VDM) published an audio recording which captured Bobrisky allegedly saying that he spent his jail term in a private apartment.

The audio also captured Bobrisky allegedly saying that he paid N15 million to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials to drop charges of money laundering against him.

Meanwhile, the Federal Government, On Monday, Sept. 30,  inaugurated an independent investigative panel to prove allegations of corruption and gross violations of standard operating procedures within the NCoS.

The Minister Of Interior, Dr Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, who inaugurated the committee said that the committee must also look at the recent allegations that some correctional service personnel had provided alternative accomodation for Bobrisky.

Umar, however, explained that inmates undergo comprehensive assessments to determine security risks, needs, and responsivity issues when brought to custodial centres.

According to him, the admission board evaluates each inmate to ensure safe housing and effective rehabilitation.

Umar who, outlined the service’s rigorous admission process for inmates, added that adherence to human rights principles through the approach was also paramount.

“Well, upon conviction of every offender from court, either awaiting trial or convicted, once they are brought to our facility, there is a process they go through before and during admission.

“Let me say during admission, there is what we call admission board, which comprises the officer in charge, the second in command, the medical officer in charge of the custodial center, the record officer and other relevant officers.

“They will go through the information contained therein in the warrants, also, before he will be allocated cell, there is what we call, determination of security.

“Determination of security refers to one’s risk assessment. The person risks self harm, safety of other inmate and officers. We also have what we call needs assessment, which is focused on criminogenic need areas.

“These are behaviours that may cause, criminal behavioural and other criminological needs.These are the things that we look into before an inmate is allocated cell.

“Furthermore, we also look at what we refer to as responsivity issues. There are things that can affect his participation in intervention or make it difficult for him to adjust to custodial life.

“So, having worked all this in, then it will be determined which cell such inmates will be allocated to,”he maintained.

According to Umar, during Bobrisky’s court appearance and subsequent admission to our facility, he was asked to declare his gender and he identified himself as male, but do not forget that, there are some other features that are on him.

“So because of those determination, I mean, what I refer to as classification and also determination of security of the custodial center, he was given an appropriate cell where he was kept.

“This is to also ensure that, he is not under threat within our custodial centers and he is kept safe also.

“Well, one thing I want to say here is that, the Minister of interior, has set up a committee to investigate the said alleged Bobrisky staying outside our custodial center.

“So until the determination of such or the outcome of such investigations, I think we should let it rest.

“I am only telling you that once an inmate or people are convicted, or are brought to our custodial centres, we have a standard of treatment to them during admission.

“They will be put through checks and these checks guide us on determination of security of such person both to the person and to the custodial center.

“But as to whether he was kept in our custodial facilities or he was kept outside the facility, until the determination of the outcome of the investigation on the allegations, I won’t be able to speak further on that,”he maintained.
