Diepreye Alamieyeseigha,  Bayelsa state former governor, has said that the former President, Olusegun Obasanjo picked Goodluck Jonathan as the running mate of late President YarAdua in the 2007 election because he, Obasanjo, wanted to stop  Atiku Abubakar from running for president. Alamiyeseigha reportedly said this while speaking to journalist at his home in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa state capital.

"For Goodluck, I knew that Jonathan was going to be vice president of Nigeria as far back as August 25, 2005.  Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, told me that since  Atiku and I wanted to take his job, that it would be over his dead body; and that unless he died, Atiku cannot be president of Nigeria. Obasanjo said since Atiku had picked me as his running mate, he would make sure that he dealt with and disgraced us. He said he was going to use my deputy to rubbish me before everybody. So, I knew.” he said

MEMBERS CHASED AWAY THIER PASTOR 4 ALLEGEDLY IMPREGNATING HIS HOUSEMAID

Members of the United Methodist Church, Mafoluku, Oshodi area of Lagos have chased away their pastor for allegedly impregnating his housemaid.

It was learnt that the Pastor Barkuma Andrew, who had lived with his wife, children, wife’s cousin, Favour, and Grace (the house maid)  in a three-bedroom flat on the church premises before the incident.

 A member of the church and a former secretary to Andrew, Moses Sherima, said that the pastor sent his wife to her village after he impregnated Grace.

He said:

“My room is opposite pastor’s apartment and I was his secretary. When he started dating that girl (Grace), I called his wife’s cousin, Favour, on the matter. She said Grace used to tell her whenever the pastor had sex with her.

“At a point, I had to move upstairs when I could no longer bear it. The day that abortion happened, I was sleeping inside my room when I heard Grace screaming. I rushed there and saw blood coming out from her private parts. When the wife came back from one of her numerous journeys, he told her to send Favour away.”

Another church member, John Komboroh, said the church was embarrassed by Andrew’s conduct, adding that they were tired of his leadership.

He said:

“The petition of adultery against the pastor had been sent to the bishop at the Central Conference. He came here, but did not do anything about it. That was why we wrote to the main body, the Southern Conference to give us another pastor. His (Andrew’s) action is an embarrassment to us. We don’t want him again.”

The new pastor of the church, Reverend James Sunday, said,:

“We were about to start our service this morning when we met the old pastor and some unknown people already holding the service. I calmed down my people to avoid chaos.”

Another resident and a female member, who identified herself only as Blessing, said the pastor had once made sexual advances to her.

“My husband is not always at home. The pastor would call me in the night and asked if I had slept. One day he entered my room and gave me a soft slap on my back. I had only the wrapper on me.

“I was surprised and told my neighbours.”
