WWE issued the following press release Friday...

Make-A-Wish Celebrates WWE Superstar John Cena for Granting Record 500 Wishes. John Cena to become the first celebrity wish granter in the organization’s 35 year history to reach the milestone

PHOENIX (August 21, 2015) – Make-A-Wish congratulates WWE Superstar John Cena for granting 500 wishes through the wish granting organization. Cena will achieve the landmark wish total when he spends time with Rocco, an 8-year-old from Queens, NY, battling leukemia, before WWE Monday Night Raw at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. For Rocco, the chance to hang out with the WWE Superstar will be a wish-come-true. For Cena, the meeting will be his 500th opportunity to bring hope and optimism to a wish child battling a life-threatening medical condition.

Since the founding of Make-A-Wish in 1980, no other celebrity has granted as many wishes as Cena. To acknowledge Cena and his contributions to Make-A-Wish, WWE and Make-A-Wish joined together to host a party on Friday, Aug. 21, at a Dave & Buster’s in New York City. Attendees included John Cena, Make-A-Wish America President and CEO David Williams, WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon, WWE Divas The Bella Twins – Nikki and Brie, WWE Superstar Sheamus, wish kids, and their families. At the event, WWE announced a multi-year, million dollar commitment to Make-A-Wish – a symbol of WWE’s on-going support for wish granting.

In addition to wish granting, Cena regularly goes above and beyond to support the mission of Make-A-Wish. He has personally donated more than six million airline miles for wishes involving travel, hosted parties for wish kids at WrestleMania and served as a Wish Ambassador at speaking engagements. Cena is also a recipient of the Chris Greicius Celebrity Award, which Make-A-Wish awarded him in 2009. In 2012, he also received an award to mark the milestone of his 300th wish, something no other celebrity or athlete has achieved.

“John Cena’s slogan, ‘Never Give UpT,’ is a constant source of inspiration for wish kids and serves as a reminder to stay strong and keep pushing through the difficult times,” said David Williams, Make-A-Wish America President and CEO. “The fact that he has had the sustained success required to reach 500 wishes speaks volumes about the type of person John is and the quality of the wish experience he delivers.”

“There is no more humbling experience than a child who could ask for anything in the world asking to meet me,” said WWE Superstar John Cena. “I have faced some of the toughest Superstars in WWE history and I’ve never encountered more bravery or toughness than I see in each wish kid that I meet. It is inspiring to see the impact that granting wishes can have and I look forward to granting 500 more.”
WWE has been involved in wish granting since the early 1980s, beginning shortly after the founding of Make-A-Wish. The popularity of WWE has endured throughout the years with a total wish count in the thousands. Since 2001, more than 45 Superstars and Divas have individually been requested, and subsequently, granted a wish. To learn more about Make-A-Wish and the WWE relationship, visit Wish.org.

Akwa Ibom 2015: Intrigues in PDP, APC

on   /   in Politics 12:40 am   /   Comments
UYO- In Akwa-Ibom State, the political waters are still very hot and turbulent. Hitherto friends and allies are now sworn enemies and those in support of injustice, are now pitched against those who desire justice, truth, equity and fair-play.
The situation is similar in the two leading political parties in the state, the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

How thugs had a field day at APC primaries
The governorship primaries of the APC held at the Uyo Township Stadium on Thursday December 4, 2014 which culminated in the emergence of Obong Umana Okon Umana would have become bloody if the policemen and other security operatives at the arena did not exercise restraint.
If they had attempted to resist the over 400 thugs who marched into the stadium with one of the governorship aspirants to cart away election materials, casualties and even deaths would not have been avoided.
Okon-Umana
Okon-Umana
The member representing Uyo Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Mr. Emmanuel Ekpenyong and former Chairman of the party in the state, Mr. David Ekanem condemned the aspirant’s act saying he lacked the leadership infrastructure to lead the party.
The APC leadership and the electoral committee headed by Hon. Ahmed Sasiwo had resorted to Option A-4 for the nomination of the flag bearer at the end of which Obong Umana Umana emerged after defeating Group Captain Sam Ewang (retd.), Hon. Emmanuel Ekpenyong and Senator John James Akpanudoedeghe.
Unfolding events in PDP
Events in the PDP are not any better and even more pernicious, tribal sentiments are openly being expressed with the Ibibio, the majority tribe becoming disenchanted with the seemingly unpretentious unity of the Annang with their kin, Governor Godswill Akpabio, to their detriment.
Even the Oron people are not comfortable with the governor as they alleged marginalization and biased development of the state, discriminatory appointments and employments of mostly the Annang by Akpabio such that all sectors of the state’s economy seem to be controlled by the Annang.
These have fuelled the stout opposition Governor Akpabio is having to the emergence of Mr. Udom Emmanuel, his former secretary and cousin succeeding him through the PDP.
Mr. Bassey Asuquo, a legal practitioner and political analyst opined that if Udom had come independently to seek the governorship of the state, he would perhaps, have been accepted than to have come through Governor Akpabio.
According to Asuquo, the coming on board of Udom is tantamount to perpetuation of the Akpabio’s dynasty.
Beginning of open confrontation in PDP
To the bewilderment of these other aspirants, the list that was to be used for the primaries held at the Uyo International Stadium on Monday December 8, 2014, was completely different from the harmonized list.
Obong Umana Umana, former Secretary to the Akwa-Ibom State Government (SSG) and one of the leading governorship aspirants who was formerly in the PDP had an early insight into the development and quickly left the party for the APC before the primaries.
Protests by the remaining 22 governorship aspirants, excluding Udom Emmanuel, that the authentic delegates list to be used to determine their fates were also rebuffed by the PDP national officers who conducted the primary election leading to their walk-out in the contest.

An ensuing petition to the Chairman of the PDP Governorship Electoral Panel, Akwa-Ibom State, Prince Bola Oyebowale, which was copied to President Goodluck Jonathan, National Chairman of PDP and the Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Akwa-Ibom State among others, where the aggrieved governorship aspirants alleged “fundamental irregularities affecting the substance of the gubernatorial primaries in Akwa-Ibom State” received no attention.
“We note the multiplicity of the lists of elected delegates in Akwa-Ibom State freely published in various news media. Notably is the first list that emanated from Akwa-Ibom Consolidation Alliance, ACA and signed by Obong Paul Ekpo, the State Chairman of PDP claiming same to be fake. Ironically, the list that was earlier denied is the same list that is used for inviting delegates to this congress as announced on the Akwa-Ibom Broadcasting Corporation, AKBC.
Accreditation of delegates
“Despite the plethora of lists, there is no accreditation of delegates by your electoral panel to certify the individuals who are being trafficked in heavily guarded buses to the venue of the congress from the Government House, Uyo.
“It should also be noted that all the purported delegates from the entire state were invited to the Government House where they were addressed, threatened, intimidated and induced with the sum of One Million Naira (N1,000,000.00) each to ensure compliance by voting for the governor’s preferred aspirant, Mr. Udom Gabriel Emmanuel.
‘It is curious and unconscionable that in a clear violation of the guidelines of the party for primary elections and the Electoral Act, the contrived list of ad hoc delegates is populated by political appointees of government and civil servants. This impunity and disregard for the electoral process and the law cannot be ignored. We therefore call on you to resolve all these anomalies”, they stated.
The aggrieved aspirants include, Arc. Nsima Ekere, a former deputy to Governor Akpabio, Senator Helen Esuene, Ambassador Asam Asam, Engineer Patrick Ekpotu, also a former deputy to Governor Akpabio, Chris Abasi-Eyo, Barrister Ekpenyong Ntekim, immediate past Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Effiong Abia, Professor Richard King, Senior Special Assistant to President Goodluck Jonathan on Domestic Affairs and Barr. Asuquo Asuquo Okpo.
Others are Anietie Johnny Ufot, Engineer Larry Esin, Samuel Udonsak, Jerome Isanedighi, Dr. Peter Esu, Effiong Usin, David Okpon, Ita Udo, Engineer Ime Ekanem, Barr. Michael Sebastine Etuk, Hon. Okpulomp Ette, Benjamin Okoko and Ime Albert Akpan.
It was gathered that since the Presidency and the National Secretariat of PDP appeared to be inconsistent in handling this petition, the group also known as G-22 decided to take their matter to the Abuja High Court presided by Justice Y. Halilu, which slammed an injunction on the PDP restraining it from forwarding the name of Udom Emmanuel as the candidate of the party to INEC.
However, the state PDP and Udom Emmanuel on December 19 got the injunction vacated by the Abuja High Court and in effect, a clearance for Udom.
In spite of the court clearance, some observers said the battle is not over yet as some Akwa-Ibom stakeholders remain determined to stop Udom at the polls. If all the 22 other aggrieved governorship aspirants and their supporters team up with Umana Umana or Bishop Akpan, the PDP may be in a cul-de-sac in Akwa-Ibom State.
However, Pastor Anietie Ukpe, Chief Press Secretary/Special Adviser Media to Governor Akpabio, believes that the PDP would win any election in the state convincingly and with wide margin.
