Rivers PDP Treatens Amaechi with 48hours Time Limit To Explain His Plane Controversy, Suspends 27 Assembly Members

The crisis rocking the Rivers State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has taken a new twist as the party on Monday, suspended 27 members of the Rivers State House of Assembly.

The party’s leadership also announced that it has given the state Governor; Rotimi Amaechi, 48 hours to “explain to Rivers people why the jet bought with the state government money is bearing a bank’s name on the documents.”

The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) on Sunday grounded the plane of River State governor for the expiration of its operating license while the Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) claimed that the plane belongs to the Bank of Salt Lake CityUSA and was brought into the country on chatter by Carverton Helicopters.

The new chairman of the party in the state, Felix Obuah told journalists in Port Harcourt, the state capital, that the suspension of the lawmakers was over their refusal to obey an order by the party to reinstate the suspended Chairman of Obio Akpor Local Government Area.

He noted that the suspension of the lawmakers, who are members of the party, is part of resolutions reached at the end of an emergency meeting of the party on Monday.

Not tolerating corruption

Felix Obuah also announced that the party has given Governor Amaechi 48 hours to explain to Rivers people why the jet bought with the state government money is bearing a bank’s name on the documents.

He warned that the party would not tolerate corruption in the state.

The leader of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Chidi Lloyd in his reaction to the suspension of 27 House members by the state PDP, stated in an interview with our correspondent, that the lawmakers had acquired a restraining order to stop the suspension.

He expressed his surprised that the party still went on to suspend the lawmakers.

The leader of the House also said the suspension is a plot to distract the party in the state.

He called on stakeholders to remain calm.

Samsung reportedly close to releasing Glass competitor — and Google’s involved

This one is definitely a rumor, but its source is reliable enough to warrant a little speculation. Analyst and blogger Eldar Murtazin tweeted a rather definite message this week that Samsung is “developing [its] own version of Google Glass. We will see it (probably) around April – May under Gear Glass brand.” Given that Google’s own version of Glass is not expected to hit the mass market until early 2014, Samsung’s Glass competitor could very well race Google’s to market. That might seem like a nightmare for Google, which has invested heavily in Glass and is no doubt planning for a strong event launch, but as was pointed out in a CNet article, the use of the word “Glass” implies an official partnership. Samsung is known for its aggressive branding and Google would likely raise legal concerns regardless, so it’s unlikely the brand Gear Glass would be used without a partnership. Does Google even want to sell Glass, or does it just want you wearing face-screens? ...
