YOU DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO DISQUALIFY ARCH TONYE COLE ON THE GROUND OF DOUBLE CITIZENSHIP ACCORDING TO THE LAW...SAYS IFEANYI DIKE Esq :MEMBIS247

PRESS RELEASE.

GentleMen of the press, recall that the people Democratic Party filed a suit at the federal High Court, Port Harcourt division seeking the disqualification of our Governorship Candidate, Arch Tonye Cole on the ground, among others, that our candidate is a citizen of United Kingdom,

Recall also that today Hon. Justice E.A Obile of the Federal High Court 2, Port Harcourt entered judgement in favour of the PDP and against us and in the judgement, disqualified our candidate from participating in 2023 elections.

While we are bound by the judgement of the court, pending appeal, we wish to retaliate that our candidate is qualified to contest the said elections because section 182 (1) (a) of the 1999 constitution under which the court reached the decision does not disqualify a person who has voluntarily acquired the citizenship of another country or who has made a declaration of allegiance provided that such a person is a citizen of Nigeria by birth. This is so because section 182(1)(a) of the 1999 constitution is made subject to section 28 of the same constitution.

Tonye Cole is a Nigerian citizen by birth and is therefore qualified like every other Nigerians, to contest elections.

We have therefore set in motion the process to challenge the judgement on appeal immediately and we are very confident that justice will be done. We urge our teaming supporters and party faithful to remain calm and confident while we pursue justice in this and other matters.

In all, we wish to assure our supporters that our great party, the All Progressive Congress will be on the ballot and will win the 2023 elections in Rivers State.

Thank you and God bless

Signed.

Why Women Contract HIV More Than Men Finally Explained wanisheik Aug 27, 2021 Over the years, females all over the world have contracted HIV more than their male counterparts. But that wasn' t what we were made to believe in the past. There used to be a perception that men were at a higher risk of contracting the virus than women. As of mid- 1996, the Joint UN Program on AIDS evaluated that out of the twenty- five million adults infected with HIV, over ten million are women. The percentage of women who test positive for HIV has been on the rise, with nearly half of the 7500 new cases recorded daily found among them. Also, most cases of the virus detected in women are in developing countries.

This means that the number of women living with the virus in Ghana is almost twice that of the number of men living with it. A study conducted by Pubmed in Kis...
