The Government of Rivers State has reacted to the President Muhammadu Buhari’s planned visit. The Rivers Government said the visit would afford the people of the state a rare opportunity to inform Buhari of the total neglect of the state by the All Progressives Congress, APC-led Federal Government since it came into power.
A statement by the Commissioner for Information and Communications, Emma Okah, said, “The impending visit is a welcome development. He’s president for all Nigerians, and not the president of a particular part of the country or political party.
“The visit would afford us the opportunity of interacting with him, if his programme would permit, so that we tell him the challenges we are facing and also, the contributions and efforts we are making towards building a stronger and more united nation.
“
;We will use the opportunity to also tell him about the peculiar security challenges that Rivers State is facing and the fact that we have not received appropriate cooperation from the Police high command despite our complaints.
“We will also use the opportunity to tell him what INEC is doing and the fact that INEC is working with some security agencies to frustrate the 2019 elections in favour of his party. “And we will assure him of our unalloyed commitment as we all work together in patriotism towards building a stronger and more united nation.”
Mohamed Salah has no interest in joining Real Madrid this summer, reports in Spain claim. Salah had a sensational season under Jurgen Klopp this year, with the Egypt international netting 44 goals in all competitions. The former Chelsea ace has been tipped to leave Anfield this summer, despite only joining the Reds last year. Real Madrid and Barcelona are chasing the 25-year-old, who won the Premier League Golden Boot this season. However, according to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, Salah will not join Real this summer. They say the Egypt star has no intention of heading to the Bernabeu. Diario Gol add that Salah has not forgiven Real captain Sergio Ramos for injuring him in the Champions League final last month - and the winger wants revenge.
