Biafrarep:Just agree that he has better foresight than the GEJ government on this matter. FG realized rather too late, the negative implication of the recall of our diplomats, and seeing that the joke was actually on it, it backtracked and claimed ignorance of the recall making the permanent secretary, the fall guy. Remember that when South Africa protested (rather childishly) the recall, the minister of foreign affairs only clarified that the diplomats were only 'recalled for consultation'. When the heat got hotter in diplomatic arena, the presidency came out to deny the recall completely and suspended the permanent secretary of the ministry of foreign affairs for unauthorized recall. No knowledgable person is fooled by that because bureaucracy does not work that way. Nigeria is thus regarded in diplomatic circle as the villain not the victim. That is counter-productive. |

dutchjongen:No sir. PWC did not carry out a full financial statements audit and therefore could not have issued an opinion talkless of disclaiming the opinion. Auditing profession is guided by International Standards on Auditing (ISA). The clause "The procedures we performed did not constitute an examination or a review in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or attestation standards. Accordingly, we provide no opinion, attestation or other form of assurance with respect to our work or the information upon which our work was based". in the report which people have been misinterpreting is a standard proviso required by the ISA to be inserted in your report when the engagement is not a full audit. It is not a qualification of the report but just to emphasize the limited scope of the assignment so as to narrow the expectation gap between the users of the report and the consultants. The engagement of PWC is investigative forensic audit. A sort of target audit not full financial statement audit. In this kind of engagement, the consultants reports his findings but won't give opinion. A simple example is you own a company but requires me as an auditor to issue a report to one of your supplier that your company has certain amount of money in a bank account. I will ascertain that money is in the bank account and report my findings (not opinion) accordingly with that clause that I have not done an audit. This is because the assignment does not require me to have a complete view of your whole company transactions which a full financial statement audit that needs an opinion will require. The money in the bank account may turn out not to be your company's own but I am only required to report if the money is there or not, not how the money got there which full financial audit would have revealed. 6 Likes |

So it took the federal government over 24 hours to be aware of the news report about the 'recall' or why is the clarification coming so late? By the way, why is it the State House that should clarify. Why not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that recall the envoys 'for consultation'? This is the second time in a month that the foreign affairs ministry will embarrass the FG. 2 Likes 1 Share |

emjoe1:Director General is like the Managing Director. He is responsible for the day to day running of the organisation. Chairman is non-executive, that is he is part-time and not involved in day to day running. He will chair the occasional Board of Directors' meeting to decide the policies of the Organisation and the Board also provides the oversight functions on the executive management headed by the DG. In SEC peculiar circumstance, the DG is more known and more powerful but administratively junior to the chairman. E.g. Almost everybody knows Oteh but how many people know the outgone SEC chairman? It is just like Chairman and DG of the Nigerian Stock Exchange. However, Obi's popularity may somehow bring some limelight to that position just like Dangote and Aig-Imhokuede in NSE 1 Like |

dutchjongen:I thought this issue was properly addressed by OBJ then. What happened was that Okorocha was appointed as the chairman of Nema in November 2010 and was removed by president obasanjo 3 months later in February 2011 on the allegation that he got the Board of Nema which he chaired to inflate the cost of a radar contract. The president later found out that he was misled as the allegation was political because the Board had not even met as at that date talkless of inflating a contract cost. To make up for his error, he appointed Okorocha as his Special Adviser on Inter-party affairs (an equivalent of cabinet minister and higher than the chairmanship that he lost) until they parted ways in the run-up to 2003 elections when Okorocha contested against Buhari and others in the primaries for the ANPP's presidential ticket which Buhari won. 3 Likes |

While he was still in Bida, Niger state, a businessman announced a deposit of N500,000 with Transcorp Hilton hotel in Abuja to cover his stay anytime he reaches Abuja. There were pictures of him in Minna where he stayed for two days and Suleja as well. Search previous threads on nairaland about him. There are many topics on him 5 Likes 1 Share |

Mathematically, it is possible for pdp to embarrass Apc in the election of senate president the way Apc did during election of the speaker if 1. Apc presents more than one candidates 2. Apc zones the senate presidency in such a way that it causes rancour 3. The candidate the Apc presents is not acceptable to most of its senators 4. The pdp's proposed action is well funded. Pdp only needs additional 10 votes in its favour to snatch the seat. Pdp may not present David Mark but present and support an Apc senator outside the zone to which Apc zoned the seat or just an unknown senator from the Apc preferred zone. Many of the Apc senators are decampees from pdp who may be suspectible to monetary influence because of their weak loyalty to Apc especially if the voting is by secret balloting. Once elected, Apc with its 64 seats cannot impeach him without the support of pdp members since they will need 73 votes to impeach. 1 Like |

Flets:What exactly has GEJ done? In the report posted by OP, the president claimed that the government has made available N1.3tn through Education Trust Fund for university funding. This is not entirely accurate. It was IBB administration that set up Education Trust Fund (ETF) in 1993. Its source of funding is the 2% education tax levied yearly on all companies operating in Nigeria. Initially it was responsible for providing intervention fund for all post primary educational institutions but its scope was reduced in 2010 to only tertiary institutions hence the change of name from ETF to Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND). The N1.3tn is the accumulation of the part of the fund not yet disbursed from 1993 to date. The funding of TETFUND is strictly from education tax paid yearly by private companies and not through government budget/funding. 1 Like |

Abiola went to visit him and it was at that meeting that it was agreed that some SDP members (the so-progressives) - Kingibe, Onagoruwa, Rimi etc would served in Abacha government. It was this visit that made many people to believe that Abacha would revisit June 12 annulment. Tinubu was in the Senate (1991-1993) representing Lagos under SDP. The senate was dissolved by Abacha when he took over. He accompanied Abiola to the meeting as one of the SDP leaders. 4 Likes |

hotice01:Simply put, the law does not recognize 'handover at dinner'. If the constitution requires that an oath must be taken before someone assumes an office, then that person must be sworn in before he can execute the powers of that office. Note that the ceremony of swearing in at the eagle square is not what the law recognize but the act of taking an oath itself before the Chief Justice (in case of president). This can take place anywhere but not before an incumbent vacates that office either by expiration of tenure, impeachment, resignation or death. GEJ can truncate his tenure at any time before May 29 by resigning but then, the incumbent Vice President (not president elect) will be sworn in immediately to complete his term till May 29 The few hours gap may not mean much to a layman but within those hours, if enemies invade Nigeria, who will exercise the power of C-in-C to order the armed forces to battle?

| Politics › Re: Jonathan Rejects Amended Constitution by 2n2k(m): 4:57pm On Apr 15, 2015 |
eagleeyez:The constitution is silent on whether the president should assent any amendments to it. The process of amending the constitution is different from ordinary federal bills because it involves concurrence of at least 24 states' house of assembly. The issue came up during the first amendment in 2011 (to confirm) when David Mark as senate president pronounced the constitution amended based on his belief that presidential assent was not required. GEJ kicked and the National Assembly threatened to go to court for interpretation but eventually succumbed after the party leaders intervened. GEJ eventually signed the first amendments. In the current amendments which the president reportedly vetoed, the legislators specifically put the clause there that presidential assent shall no longer be required for constitutional amendments henceforth. If and when GEJ sign the current amendments, that will be the last time, a president will ever sign amendments to the constitution. 1 Like |

Reconvene and start the whole impeachment proceeding all over again Note that the 7 lawmakers can also prolong the drama by filing their own case asking the court to upheld the suspension.
