The suspended Commissioner for Health in Rivers State, Dr. Adaeze Oreh, has refuted claims linking her to the disruption of the Renewed Hops Initiative empowerment programme hosted in honour of Nigeria’s First Lady, Senator Oluremi Tinubu, in Rivers State.

During the event on Friday, some women staged a walkout on the wife of the Sole Administrator of the state, Theresa Ibas, who was representing the First Lady.

The women demanded to be addressed either by Senator Tinubu herself or by Mrs. Valerie Fubara, wife of the suspended Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara.

Responding to allegations made by a group she identified as the Concerned Rivers Youth Organization, Dr. Oreh described the claims as entirely baseless and a fabrication intended to malign her reputation.

She said those allegations were a product of the “sick imagination of rumour peddlers and conflict entrepreneurs whose sole aim is to tarnish my image and sow discord.”

Dr. Oreh challenged the group to present credible evidence to support their accusations.

She further clarified that she has neither sponsored nor supported any efforts to embarrass or disrupt the activities of the federally appointed administration overseeing the state’s affairs, following President Bola Tinubu’s declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State.

Doctor Oreh added that during her suspension, she has focused on personal endeavours, including her ongoing doctoral studies.

She said, “It is essential to base criticisms on facts rather than speculation or puerile political agendas.

“I have neither sponsored nor will sponsor any activities aimed at embarrassing or disrupting the activities of the administration appointed by His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR to oversee the affairs of Rivers State following his declaration of a state of emergency on Tuesday 18th March 2025, and have rather spent the time of my suspension from office focused on other endeavours and my doctoral studies.”

Reaffirming her dedication to the development of Rivers State, Dr. Oreh called for unity and urged stakeholders to engage in constructive, solution-oriented dialogue for the collective good of the state

She added, “Furthermore, I believe that it is crucial for all stakeholders to promote a culture of truth, integrity, and respect in public discourse.

“Unsubstantiated wild claims undermine trust and hinder constructive engagement, and this is not what the state needs at this difficult and delicate time.

“I urge everyone to focus on issues that unite us and foster a positive, solution-driven dialogue for the betterment of our state, and urge everyone to work together to build a brighter future for Rivers State, grounded in truth, transparency, and collective effort.”

Sallah: Imam blames insecurity on disobedience to teachings of Qur’an, Hadiths

Muslim cleric, Sheikh Umar Faruk Haruna has blamed insecurity in the country on the non-adherence to the teachings of the Holy Qur’an by the Muslims Ummah.

Haruna, who is the Deputy Chief Imam of the Ekenwa campus of the University of Benin, UNIBEN, made the remarks while speaking with newsmen shortly the two rakkah prayers to mark the 2025 Eid-el-Kabir.

The Imam who said Islamic religion is built on the fear of Allah, peace and love, noted that the ills in society cannot be eradicated unless the Muslims retrace their steps and go back to the teachings of the Qur’an and the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad.

He said insecurity and other social vices have taken over all the nooks and crannies of the country because the Muslim faithful have decided to legislate for themselves instead of following and obeying Allah’s commands

“The message is simple. The essence of Islam is to have the fear of Allah, love and peace. If we the Muslim can actually behave as the Qur’an direct us and the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad there will be no insecurity.

“It is because we have put the Qur’an and the Sunnahs of the Prophet aside, and we have decided to legislate for ourselves that is why we are having all these pockets of insecurity here and there.

“This cannot stop and will never stop until we retrace ourselves by actually believing what the Quran says and the Hadiths of the Holy Prophet Muhammad.

“The issue of insecurity you are seeing in Nigeria today is that you cannot wash the Muslims’ hands off of it. We are participating.

“Is it kidnapping, banditry, the Boko Haram. You can see today that where all these things started, we can even call them the Islamic states. But unfortunately these are supposed to be the last places where all these kinds of things are supposed to have taken place, but today here we are.

“The only solution we have is to go back to the Qur’an. It is for us to go back to the teachings of the Prophet. This is the only way we can have peace. As long as we have continued to disobey God. You can see that we have even started getting our rewards here on earth before getting to the day of judgment”, he said.

He, however, advised the Muslim Ummah worldwide to hold on to the principles and tenets of Islam, noting that the Eid-el-Kabir celebration is purely Islamic and not to perpetuate immorality, illegality and those things that are  completely forbidden in the sight of Allah.

On the sacrificial animals, the chief Imam admonished the Ummah that their sacrifice can only be accepted by Allah if acquired through legal means.

“We say even the ram we are struggling to get, you cannot strangulate, inflict pains or hardship on another person for you to get money to buy one.

“You cannot go and sin or cause pain on another person because you want to buy a ram.

“We say getting a ram is through your legal earnings, that is the only way Allah will reward you for it”, he added.
