Fraudulent Practices: Zero Tolerance for Corruption Vanguard Lambasts GTBank, Wants Government Intervention
In a passionate statement to the press, Richard Aro, convener of the Zero Tolerance for Corruption Vanguard, has condemned the operations of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), calling the financial institution a “fraudulent organisation” and urging Nigerians to avoid using their services.
Aro highlighted the severe impact of the bank’s alleged fraudulent activities, especially on rural communities where elderly Nigerians depend on remittances to sustain their livelihoods.
According to Aro, many rural dwellers never receive the funds sent to them, or in some cases, do not even get notifications of transfers, adding to the growing frustration of the bank’s customers.
He further criticized the bank’s customer service, claiming that its representatives are often rude, unhelpful, and disorganised, leaving many Nigerians unable to resolve issues effectively.
Aro, who spoke on behalf of both urban and rural Nigerians, demanded that the federal government step in, warning that GTBank’s practices pose a serious threat to the country’s economy and security.
Comrade Emmanuel Oteku, a GTBank customer, shared his own harrowing experience, claiming that his transfer failed to reach recipient, and that attempts to resolve the issue have proven futile.
The group called for the federal government to investigate GTBank’s activities and for the bank’s CEO, Segun Agbaje, to step down and face prosecution.

Tinubu, PDP Hail Gov Okpebholo’s Road Infrastructural Revolution in Edo
Joel Ajayi
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has lauded the infrastructural strides of Edo State Governor, Senator Monday Okpebholo, particularly the ongoing construction of the state’s first-ever flyover bridge, describing it as a landmark intervention in easing urban traffic and modernizing Edo’s transport system.
The President extolled the governor’s foresight in embarking on the one-kilometre flyover project at Ikpoba Hill in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area, noting that its completion would transform vehicular movement and strengthen the urban fabric of Benin City.
Tinubu praised Okpebholo’s early performance in office, affirming that the governor had set a new standard of governance in Edo.
The president represented by the Minister of Works, Engr. Dave Umahi, emphasized that the governor’s bold approach to road and bridge construction in the State underscores the All Progressives Congress’ (APC) progressive agenda.
“This is a 24-span structure, each span measuring 20 meters, amounting to a one-kilometre bridge. The quality and pace of work are impressive. Edo is witnessing a first, and I believe more such projects should follow in Benin City to address the heavy traffic,” Umahi conveyed on behalf of the President.
The Minister contrasted the efficiency of state-driven projects with some federal contracts, lamenting that contractors often display greater discipline when working under governors than when handling federal assignments.
He pledged to enforce stricter accountability standards at the federal level to ensure value for money and timely delivery.
“I commend Governor Okpebholo for insisting on concrete technology. Roads built with reinforced concrete last 50 to 100 years, saving scarce resources. Nigeria cannot continue to spend on recurring reconstruction. We must invest in durability,” Umahi stressed.
