What did PMB say to PYO

The National Assembly Tribunal has fixed October 10 to deliver judgement on the legal battle between Senator Smart Adeyemi and Dino Melaiye over the outcome of the March 28 Kogi West National Election.
Adeyemi flew the banner of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP while Melaiye was the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC.The tribunal had initially struck out the case on technical grounds before it was returned for re-trial by the appellant court, which directed that the case be judged on merit, given expeditious hearing and determined before the expiration of the deadline on the case. Adeyemi opened his case by calling on his first witness, Fehinti Dada, who told the court that the March 28, 2015 senatorial election was falsified by the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC in favour of Melaiye.Dada under cross examination by the respondent’s counsel, Francis Ani, said the election was fraught with irregularities in 21 units of five wards in Lokoja Local Council of the state. Dada, who was the PDP senatorial collation officer for the election, said the result of the recounting exercise ordered by the tribunal revealed that INEC counted and recorded the voided votes during the election in favour of Melaiye. He also told the tribunal that the APC never held a primary election before Melaiye emerged as the candidate of the party, and some members of the APC went to court to challenge the emergence of Melaiye adding that documentary evidence from INEC backed the claim that Melaiye did not go through primary.
Adeyemi’s teams before then tendered a certified true copy of INEC report on the APC Kogi West Senatorial primaries in which it was adduced that Melaye did not partake in that primary.
While claiming that the documents were admissible by virtue of Section 83 of the Evidence Act, Kayode Olatoke, SAN urged the tribunal to admit them as exhibits to be used in prosecuting the petition.
However, Ani, counsel to Melaiye, objected to the admissibility of the documents, saying that the INEC officials that brought the documents could not give evidence on them. He said since the petitioner had not told the court while applying for the subpoena that he would make the makers give evidence on them outside the box, the tribunal should not allow it.
Also, APC counsel, Ayotunde Ogunleye, noted that the court should be bound by the prayers of parties in a suit, claiming that the arguments and the authorities cited by Olatoke were not relevant to the petition, as the witnesses were not competent to give evidence on the documents and urged the tribunal to reject the documents.
The chairman of the tribunal, Justice Akon Ikpeme, said the tribunal accepted the document based on the rulings of the Appeal and Supreme Courts on such matters as the rule of admissibility did not need calling the makers of the documents to give evidence on such documents, saying Section 183(1) of the Evidence Act made the documents admissible.
But in a dramatic turn, three weeks later, a witness from INEC, Abuja office, Ibrahim Mohammed, stunned the court to say the commission monitored the conduct of Kogi West senatorial primary election of the APC.
Mohammed further said he did not know the INEC official that conducted the primary but was only availed the report of the exercise. He mentioned two locations where the primary was conducted under cross examination.
Legal oral submission
Another witness, Victor Garba working with the Department of State Services, also stunned the court when he could not state the name of the Director General of the organisation. When also asked the name of the Assistant Director of Operations of the DSS in the state, the witness said he did not know it too.
Adeyemi’s counsels in their joint address signed by Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) and Kayode Olatoke (SAN) submitted by Lateef Fagbemi asked the court to uphold their written address as their legal oral submission.
However, Melaiye and APC, who adopted their written addresses as oral submission, urged the court to dismiss the petitioner’s request. While Melaiye said the petition should be dismissed in his entirety because the petitioners request was a mere academic exercise, waste of court time and grossly incompetent, the APC said the case should be dismissed because it was frivolous.

If this is true, are we even supposed to hear about it? .....Since when did military intelligence become a matter for Photoshoot and paparazzi?

These days I think all Boko haram need to do to keep up with Nigerian Military intelligence is to frequently read newspapers and log in to Nairaland

Even if the dude is suspected Boko as they said, whatever happened to leaving him free and putting him under surveillance in order to allow him lead the authorities to the bigger and more important Boko chairmen? ....

Nigerian intelligence authorities are always unreasonably eager to prematurely harvest their 'fish' ... Now that they have made this arrest public, The Boko kings will simply disconnect this compromised pawn and get another foot soldier to fill in the job vacancy

If them no tell u now, u go say what's dis military do masef....ode

I want to believe that this long-awaited "almighty" and "sanit-like" ministerial list has exposed the monumental fraud of Buhari and his APC led government.

Nigerians voted on the premise of "zero" tolerance for corruption. The president, declared that no one with a single corruption stain will be in his cabinet.

To say that the so-called DSS and the overrated EFCC screened and cleared a fraudulent man in epic scale as Amechi is a collective insult to those gullible 15-million Nigerians who were deceived into thinking Buhari has the balls to curb corruption.

A man who said Abacha was not corrupt has no moral standard to fight corruption.

The only thing I see here, is the current government running a scheme of sophisticated fraud, won't be easy to detect like what the PDP orchestrated.

This is the end result of allowing sentiments becloud rational reasoning. I hope Nigerians can learn from this APC scam in future.

The "I will" government of propaganda

Oga u wailed before election after election and up till now. U no dey taya?

Selfish, if not he wldnt have moved himself and his family outside

Articulating the need to return stolen funds....when this presidency starts with PDP.....im not sure anything can save them. IMO

Hahahahaha....the same month some pple used to say the TSA was jonathan's idea is the same mouth they r using to say baba wan spoil nigeria. I thot it was jonathan idea naw....idiots

Una never know nothing TSA is here to stay

The illiterates crying here are amazing. How does this affect the banks? U need to ask that question first. The banks are being averse to risk, so they all want to know how much need for cash they have. Do u expect them to plunge into interbank and start making demands for monies they don't need.

The directive is here and is being implemented.

So u thot u all said the TSA was jona dafts idea. Now everybody don dey ascribe am to baba. Illiterates.

When these pple start to submit the evidences of their transactions to he federal government to use and prosecute those criminals all of u screaming shall know

Can some move this to fp pls

Illiteracy must always be displayed by illiterates.

I keep asking mysef what Psquare has done for pple in the industry. #whopsquaredonhelp.

Rare Top 10 Photos of Africa’s Richest Man, Aliko Dangote’s $30 Million Home


.Africa Cradle was granted rare access into Africa’s richest man’s home, which he is putting up for sale in northern Abuja. Mr. Dangote has called this place home for a good twelve years, and he said he is selling the property because he has just completed a new piece of real estate in the United Kingdom, where he is switching to after putting ink to paper on a deal to purchase the london based Arsenal Football Club. Mr. Dangote is actually an avid soccer supporter, contrary to many people’s expectations, and he said he was looking forward to watching all the Arsenal matches from the Emirates Stadium after closing the deal. “I have to be there! I have to be there.” He said, with a rare smile on his face.

http://www.punchng.com/news/workers-to-access-25-pension-savings-for-mortgage-to-forfeit-lump-sum-payment-at-retirement/ lalasticlala

Although it looks laudable but there are so many loopholes that are sticking out that will eventually not make this money access able.
1. If I can only access in cases where im getting mortgage from FSA or deposit money banks why do I need to add the PFA to the first loss payee? The banks will insist they must be the first loss payee. And when I'm only taking my 10% contrubution from my pension why does the PFA need to be a first loss payee?
2. Why do they need another valuation done? The banks or whoever im collecting the lump sum from would have done 2 independent valuations already at my cost then I will do another one for the PFA because of 10% contribution? are you pple sure u r alright?
All these include the fact that I have lost the ability to get the lump sum again.....Abeg si eba puo...if they want to favour pple they shld do if not they shldnt bother

Is this news

Eazy way to identify women that are lazy and don't know how to cook or don't even cook at all. Tell mi how she can wash her wears or her hubby own with dis 18inchs dats 1 foot 6 inchs nails equal to one block.

If I hear say she wash her clothes wit it make Buhari appoint me Minister of Petroleum......

Ever heard of washing Machine?

Willhenry123:
This is actually not a good move. In a free market, buyers should be encouraged to buy, this will help drive up demand. Artificial scarcity by hoarding may be counter productive as there are many alternatives in the global scene. This may not end up well for the economy

So you know more than Kachukwu?

I THOUGHT ROYALTY IS FROM A PARTICULAR BLOODLINE.

THE DEAD OONI's FIRST SON SHOULD BE NEXT IN LINE GOING BY THE NORM.


BUT SINCE IT'S NOW A THING OF NOMINATION; I THINK I CAN ALSO NOMINATE TOO.


I NOMINATE NNAMDI KANU OF RADIO BIAFRA.


HE IS ALSO LEARNED AND INTELLIGENT.

So even if the first son is a retard he shld shaa be king.... where u from nicca...it's not done like that anywhere in the world

IYANGBALI:
trust baba,no baga fit influence am except me

Ode na Tinubu get una size....will u still like him because tinubu is not there? No. Wait till ministerial list commot. Tinubu has his complete list....sidon there. Tinubu na southwest voice for this administration

This is even more impressive

alaoeri:
Any hope for Amaechi in the awaiting ministerial list?

Amechi's kinsmen have discredited him and u don't expect baba to put him there. U pple shld keep discrediting ur pple with the best chance to get an opportunity. Thank God the Jagaban reversed the bashing of fash. Atleast they will push him otherwise na kick n follow

agarawu23:
I don't think that's the step he should take if he wants to really give the displaced.

All this men of God aren't to be trusted when it comes to "money" & "properties".

I would have look for the displaced myself and share the rooms among them.

Anyway, God will reward you.

BTW you don't do good and announce it.

Same you, When they tell pple like u that other pple do stuffs like this na go still talk say na lie.

The way dele momodu is trying so hard to sell this prince as the next Oba, I don't see him becoming the next king and dele will go to the back page of Thisday and write jargon.
Who has noticed that they have not met with the people who hold the ace on decoding who the next Oba is (Aregbesola & the Jagaban)

zendy:
Everybody knows that it takes years before the structures that can guaratee improved or steady power supply are put on the ground. But APC/Buhari supporters will now give the credit of GEJs Government to Buhari after less than 3 months in office. The improved light situation has nothing to do with Buhari. Things would have improved wether he had been elected or not

Oga, I do not agree with you o. Not at this pace. Did u notice that not an extra naira was spent to get us to 5kMW. The past government wld have been forced to spend billions for what we already have capacity for.

I think you have to agree that a new sheriff is in town hence everyone is behaving atleast not to loose their job and if the sheriff is discovered to be weak they will revert to business as usual.

OLADD:
So Buhari has suddenly become a demigod? If his past atrocities were considered against him, he would never have become president today. Saraki (even though I don't like his antecedent as a person) should call the President's bluff and move on.

The same advise pple like you gave Jonathan dat got him black to otueke faster than required

If jagaban is really with the treasury how come it never went down one day....go and look at the treasury in ur state.....pendulum things
