Dansuqi:
There is in pastor's case which is still pending

Dansuqi:
The case was never about forgery but about provision of false information if a fundamental nature.it was proven.like in imo,the supreme court will decide

Dansuqi:
What about this?

fergie001:
I wanted to tell him that;
Diri asked the Court to check the inconsistencies of Degi's Certificate.

Opuama is saying he forged it. So provide how?
Forgery is not a simple case.

Dansuqi:
I am convinced personally that the deputy forged his certificates despite whatever the court says.it is obvious that the powers that be do not want diri out.
Looking at the judgment,it is funny.how can the petitioner bring the person who had the certificate? What if it belong to nobody and it was forged randomly.this is ridiculous and funny and contradicts the February ruling of Mary odili.therefore, the judge conceded that a case of forgery was established

Blackking98:
Oh wow thanks

Dansuqi:
Market is fine,I have bought half of the goods in eleme market.I bought a bag of stony,expired local rice for you

Dansuqi:
You didn't need to abuse him.why the pettiness? Is diri better than him? Pastor ebizimo petition left

Dansuqi:
Which is the second case

fergie001:
I 8-2 to imagine.

OBTOREPA:
A major change is coming to bayelsa.

fergie001:
The Bayelsa Governorship Election Tribunal sitting in Abuja has affirmed the election of Senator Duoye Diri as Bayelsa State Governor.

Dansuqi:
Guy,let's be serious.I though you are neutral.I didn't tag you for this shenanigans.if you are not ready,then let's leave it.I want mature updates.

Dansuqi:
Today is the day.someone in abuja should update us.kahal,aaa593,fergie

Dansuqi:
I should be asking you.

Dansuqi:
Yes but I know a case of forgery has been established.if you read pdp's written address,you will see that they indirectly conceded to that fact and are hoping to win the case on technicalities

Dansuqi:
You are confusing yourself

Dansuqi:
Does it matter? They started it and must end it

OBUKSBAYELSA:
It's an over-kill to say that Bayelsans are apprehensive and in state of fear over tribunal judgement, judgement will come, judgement will go but Senator Douye Diri remains Governor.
However, my take on the expected tribunal judgement is that Vijah Opuama case is technically defective as most of the other cases these are issues of Qualifications which are pre- election matter. The case of ANDP exclusion seems the most potent but also technically deficient.
Senator Douye Diri remains Governor of Bayelsa State.

fabienjoe:
I wonder how these lies take hold. Where in Nigeria does a professor earn N70k? ASUU are the ones always lying to Nigerians and they believe them. Nigerian lecturers are not worse off compared with those elsewhere, even in more endowed countries. I schooled in Europe and I know what the lecturers earn and their lifestyle. They should stop deceiving Nigerians. The only reason these agencies are opposing IPPIS is that they pay themselves what they shouldn't earn. They are stealing from the rest of us and blackmailing the government. They are competing with members of the National Assembly on corruption because that is always their reference.

Dansuqi:
I think that of other parties will also be delivered on that day.from the submissions,I foresee the tribunal sacking diri...pastor diriyai might just be the next governor

fabienjoe:
Stop misleading people. The major issue here is stealing and corruption. They don't want transparency in their salaries and allowances. IPPIS captures every legitimate entitlement. ASUU is the cause of all these rubbish. Their agitations have largely become self serving and other agencies are doing copycat protests.

Dansuqi:
Both apc and pdp might just end up losing bayelsa...the recent judgment of the appeal court nullifying inec deregistration of some parties is another blow to pdp.the only mistake I see in the petitioners case if in their prayers.they should have asked that diri be sacked and the next party that satisfied the statutory conditions be sworn in not calling for fresh polls.hopefully,it won't be fatal

Senior oil workers attached to agencies under the Federal Ministry of Petroleum yesterday embarked on a three-day warning strike over the failure of the federal government to pay their salaries in the last three months.

The workers under the aegis of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association (PENGASSAN), in their protest, said they were stopping work following the authorities’ insistence on compelling them to join the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

The striking workers said the government had not done enough to convince them that the IPPIS was robust enough to handle the peculiarities of the environment they work, noting that it is wrong to lump them up with civil servants on the IPPIS platform.

Members of the union, who protested at the Abuja headquarters of the ministry, were drawn from the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR), Petroleum Products Pricing Regulatory Agency (PPPRA), Petroleum Equalisation Fund (PEF), Petroleum Trust Development Fund (PTDF), Nigerian Nuclear Regulatory Agency (NNRA) and others.

National Public Relations Officer (PRO) of PENGASSAN, who is also the Rivers State Secretary of the Trade Union Congress (TUC), Mr. Fortune Obi, told THISDAY that if after three days the demands of the protesters are not met, it would become a nationwide issue to be handled by the national body of the union.
There was no immediate response from the government, although the union said almost all avenues for negotiation had been explored without success.

President Muhammadu Buhari, during the presentation of 2020 budget proposal to the joint session of the National Assembly in Abuja had said all federal government workers not captured on the IPPIS platform by October 31, 2019, would not be paid their monthly salaries.

But the PENGASSAN’s spokesman stated that apart from the fact that the IPPIS platform was not secure, it had failed to consider the difference between regular civil servants and oil workers.

He said: “It’s a three-day warning strike by members in the government regulatory agencies under the Ministry of Petroleum, basically because of their inclusion in the IPPIS system, which we have rejected ab initio due to the various challenges we have had with it and the associated inefficiencies.
“PENGASSAN resolved about the system long ago. We want assurance that this system is robust enough to handle the challenges. We are saying we work in a peculiar sector where our members earn some allowances different from the civil service structure.

“Therefore, lumping us into that platform without capturing the peculiarities is unacceptable. Because of that, for the past three months, our members in these agencies have not been paid their salaries.

“We have said clearly that we work in a peculiar environment, where earned allowances are different from the civil service payment system. In the civil service, they don’t work offshore; they don’t work in tank farms; they don’t work in haulage system; so for personnel from the peculiar agencies, there are earned allowances. These are not captured in the IPPIS system.

“We need the guarantee that this system is robust enough to capture these issues. You can’t just go and implement something on a platform that is generally for civil servants and their structure. They must consider us as peculiar operators within the system.”

He stated that there was no problem with the existing platform, suggesting that the government has ulterior motives for insisting on moving the workers to the new platform.

“We work in circles in certain locations; in the civil service, it’s not circle driven. So, if I am working in an FPSO (Floating Production Storage Offloading vessel), located in the Gulf of Guinea and my work circle is 28 days in, 28 out, as I return, how am I going to get my earned allowances.

“What the IOCs (international oil companies) do is to book it into their system- we need the assurances, otherwise, leave us where we are currently, because that same application we are using currently is domiciled with the accountant general, so why the change to a system that’s not reliable?

“Low cadre persons can break the security of that system, it’s not robust enough. We have made frantic efforts to call the attention of the government to our people’s peculiar issues. Nothing is done” he added.
