Top 10 Newspaper Headlines Monday, June 13th 2022
Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Major Newspapers in Nigeria
Punch Newspaper
1. You’re no longer my president, Umahi tells Ohanaeze’s President-General
The Ebonyi State Governor, and Chairman, South-East Governors’ Forum, David Umahi, on Sunday, chided the President-General of the apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Professor George Obiozor, for his alleged role in the failure of the aspirants from the region in the just concluded presidential primaries.
In what looked like a vote of no confidence in Obiozor, Umahi declared he would no longer recognise him as the PG of the pan-Igbo body.
Umahi, a former presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, alleged that Obiozor was partisan, “instead of making himself a rallying point during the struggle for the presidency of Igbo extraction”.
According to the visibly angry Umahi, who stated this during a warn reception in his honour by his supporters, after the APC presidential ticket contest in Abuja, Obiozor failed to stand for the South-East region when it mattered most, saying, “It is a very big shame, I have no confidence in him and he is no longer my President.”
2. Your senatorial ticket illegal, non-existent, Akpabio slams ex- DIG
The immediate past Minister of Niger Delta Affairs, Senator Godswill Akpabio, on Sunday replied Udom Ekpoudom (retd.), asking him to stop polluting the media space with falsehood about a non-existent ticket.
The former Deputy Inspector General had, in a statement issued earlier on Sunday by his aides, vowed not to relinquish his senatorial ticket to Akpabio.
Akpabio, however, replied to Ekpoudum in a statement on Sunday by his Chief Press Secretary, Jackson Udom titled ‘Re: Akwa Ibom North West Senatorial District APC Ticket: Matters Arising’.
Akpabio said Ekpoudum is being placed on the off-side track of politics in the district,and probably was not aware of the notification of cancellation and order of a fresh election, because he belonged to the Udoedehe’s faction which is not recognised by the INEC and the national leadership of the party.
3. Tinubu campaign organisation disowns viral ‘manifesto’ on social media
The campaign organisation of the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Sunday, distanced itself from a viral document circulated on social media as Tinubu’s manifesto.
The organisation disclosed that what was being peddled online was a mere draft and suggestions on the programmes Tinubu is expected to implement when elected in February 2023.
This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the Tinubu Campaign Organisation’s Director of Media and Communication, Bayo Onanuga.
Onanuga said that the manifesto being shared mostly via WhatsApp and Facebook is not the official campaign manifesto of the APC presidential candidate.
