Dr. Anthony Adaji, he mentioned that since a brand-new bus now costs over ₦100 million, a fairly used one costing between ₦20 million and ₦30 million would suffice. “Today, I returned to the College to present a fairly used bus within the range mentioned by the Proprietor, to assist the students in their critical clinical experience assignments.  “Additionally, I donated ₦5 million to cover the cost of registration, insurance, and other expenses for one year. “I extend my sincere thanks to the Proprietor, Management, and staff of the institution for their warm reception and commend their tireless efforts in contributing to the betterment of humanity through education and health apostolate. “I assured them that I would continue to support them in my modest  way as we work together towards a new Nigeria that is POssible.”

Peter Obi discredits Edo Gubernatorial election 

Labour Party Presidential candidate in 2023 Election, Mr. Peter Obi has expressed dismal at the conduct of the Edo State Governorship election.  The former Anambra State Governor believed the electoral process which produces Monday Okpebholo of APC does not express the wish of the Edo indigenes.  According to him, “What happened over the weekend in the name of election in Edo State does not in any way represent the democratic process we chose as a method of electing our political leadership.  “Instead, it was a blatant example of ‘state capture’ and continued gross undermining of our democratic process and values. “Any nation whose leadership recruitment process is so fatally flawed is doomed, and we are all seeing the effect in our country. “I urge those in authority not to allow this situation to stand, or depend on it to remain in power. “As a country, we have invested significantly in IReV and BVAS, and they must be allowed to function and used properly in order to free our electoral process from the massive falsification that has plagued it and worsening.” Obi also urged the agencies and individuals being used to undermine the democracy simply because they hold positions of authority to remember that their time in office is not eternal.  “The society that you are helping to destroy today will eventually take her revenge on you tomorrow.  “To the lecturers and others complicit in perpetuating this charade, you must reflect deeply on the roles you are playing in damaging the very foundation of our democracy.  “The damage you are causing today will inevitably take revenge on you tomorrow and affect your children in the future. “This kind of action has no place in a true democracy. That is why I have always maintained that today’s politics is not about capturing power, but about saving the country and making it work for everyone, regardless of their background.”
