Nigerian Government Seals Iyorchia Ayu’s Property In Benue
The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) has sealed a property belonging to the embattled National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dr. Iyorchia Ayu, in Makurdi, Benue State.
When our correspondent visited the sealed property, located at Padre Pio Street, Judges Quarters (ext.), yesterday, it was told the property was shut for the owners’ failure to tender relevant documents relating to site plans on the property to the agency.
Though our reporter could not ascertain the purpose of the palatial building, a source hinted “it is an academic institution.” However, Special Adviser to the PDP Chairman on Media and Publicity, Simon Imobo-Tswam, denied knowledge of the sealing of any of his principal’s properties by any agency.
He promised to find out and revert. Efforts to obtain clarification on the development from NESREA coordinator in the state, Daniel Iormough, failed.

Nigeria’s president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, will, in his first two years in office, target providing health care insurance for at least 87 million Nigerians.
Oyakhilome Bello, the All Progressives Congress (APC) United States national youth leader, disclosed this on Monday in Abuja.
According to Bello, Tinubu will ensure that 40 per cent of Nigerians benefit by deploying the mandatory National Health Insurance Scheme.
He noted that the president-elect planned to achieve the expansion by increasing the financing available for the Basic Health Care Provision Fund and the Vulnerable Group Fund recently established by President Muhammadu Buhari
The scheme, he added, was to ensure the health of vulnerable Nigerians.
The youth leader furthered that the former Lagos State governor planned to decentralise the social health insurance scheme to bring all Nigerians under a central national scheme to be managed by the National Health Insurance Authority.
Bello however advised Nigerians at a medical outreach sponsored by Ade Omole, director of diaspora of the dissolved APC Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), to check their vital signs regularly so as to live healthy and longer.
The sponsored movement also is to support a political pressure group, Patriots in Defence of Democracy.
The APC chieftain however stressed that vital signs monitoring was crucial for living a healthy and long life because it “gives us a glimpse into our overall well-being and signal early signs of an infection as well as prevent a misdiagnosis.”
As reported by the News Agency of Nigeria, the group had, since March 26, been holding a pre-inauguration daily hangout at the Abuja Unity Fountain for Tinubu.
The group’s convener, Tosin Adeyanju, said the hangout was in solidarity with the mandate given by Nigerians toTinubu on February 25.
According to him, the hangout aimed to redirect the ongoing narratives about the presidential election and the emergence of their principal as the president-elect, which will continue until May 29, when Mr Tinubu would be sworn in.
