| Politics › Buhari Is Spending Money Like A Drunken Sailor – Fani-kayode by ABACITYBLOG(op): 12:48pm On Dec 23, 2015 |
Following President Muhammadu Buhari’s presentation of the 2016 budget of the over N6 trillion before a joint session of the National Assembly on Tuesday, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Chief Femi Fani- Kayode has accused the President of mortgaging the future of Nigerians stressing that the budget was insincere. The former PDP Presidential Campaign spokesman, in a statement in Abuja yesterday, accused the Buhari administration of spending money like a drunken sailor. Fani-Kayode stated that it was ironic that former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Tinubu; Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi and Governor Nasir El- Rufai who were all against deregulation during former President Jonathan tenure are now in support of deregulation. Noting that the Buhari’s government was mortgaging the future of Nigeria, Nigerians and their children, he said, “The 2016 budget is fueled by insincerity, shrouded in fantasy, built on tall dreams and spawned by deceit, ignorance and the illusion of change. It is bloated, unrealistic, expensive, cosmetic and it will not result in anything good. “In order to fund part of the budget the government intends to borrow money and this will throw our country into even greater debt. What a tragedy this is given the fact that in 2007 Nigeria was debt-free. The Buhari administration is spending money like a drunken sailor and they are borrowing as if there is no tomorrow, mortgaging the future of our nation and our children.

Founder of the Odua Peoples Congress, OPC, Dr. Fredrick Fasehun yesterday requested the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government to pay him and his organisation the money owed them for the protection of the nation’s oil pipelines. Speaking at a quarterly interactive media roundtable in Lagos, the national chairman of the Unity Party of Nigeria, UPN, explained that six companies were given the contract by the Goodluck Jonathan administration to guard pipelines belonging to the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC. According to him, “We were given the contract on March 15, 2015 and we deployed youths into the jungle. They faced insects, snakes and other wild animals and some of them even died. The government did not pay us a kobo before or during the time of the contract which ended on June 15. “We have asked our lawyers to study the terms of the contract. An official in the NNPC told me that we had been paid but I told him that we had not received a penny. We call the attention of the powers that be to look into this. The holy books say that a worker deserves his wage.” Recounting that Lai Mohammed had alleged that Jonathan gave the OPC over N2bn as mobilisation money for the election under the guise of pipeline protection, Fasehun urged Mohammed, who is now the Minister of Information and Culture, to withdraw the statement and correct the wrong impression.

OUK made this known while speaking to newsmen at the Murtala Muhammed Airport, Lagos… He said: “Those boys are right, they have a right to demonstrate, but not violent demonstration, not killing soldiers because if I am a Commander- in -Chief, and you kill one of my soldiers, I will kill everybody. You cannot kill soldiers. You cannot kill police. You have a right to say no, we want our own Republic. The United Nations charter gives them the right to ask for self-determination. It is not a right of determination to go and destroy people’s properties, to go and destroy Nigerian Armed Forces, whether it is Nigerian Army, Nigerian Navy or Nigerian Police. These are not the rights. They have the right to speak for self-determination. This is the full right.........

| Politics › I’m Ready To Renounce My Throne For Biafra Freedom”–eze Kanu, Nnamdi Kanu Father by ABACITYBLOG(op): 6:27am On Dec 01, 2015 |
So they said blood is thicker than water and Snake can’t bear what is not long, Activism they say, runs in the family of the traditional ruler of Afaraukwu in Umuahia, the Abia State capital. From the monarch himself, His Royal Majesty, Eze Sir I. O. Kanu, Eze Ikputu of Afara Ukwu Ibeku in Umuahia, to the least of his children, it’s all the same blue blood of activism permanently glued in their veins. In the early 1990s, Nnamdi Kanu’s younger brother, Emmanuel, spearheaded the agitation for the reduction of school fees. Now Nnamdi, is leading a group to demand the freedom of Biafra. Daily Sun interviewed HRH Eze Kanu, Nnamdi Kanu’s father, he revealed that it was activism that made him represent his area three times as Councillor, said he was ready to abdicate his throne over the course for which his son is being detained; see the interview excerpt below: How do you feel concerning your son appearing in court last week? I’m very happy that he was brought to court on Monday (last week). From what I heard, as I was not able to go because of my health, I was impressed at least my family members were able to see him. You may have had high hopes your son would be released last week, but he was not. How do you react to this failed expectation? Well, it’s true that his release has taken time, but every Biafran in Abuja, I learnt, was protesting that he be released. Even those of them that were not on their Biafran uniform later changed to it, flying their flags and also chanting that he should be released. It made me sad that he was not released because I expected them to release him on that very day, but it didn’t come through, instead they adjourned the case. Do you think it is just for him to continue to be in custody? ..........Read more on==>>http://abacityblog.com/2015/12/exclusive-im-ready-to-renounce-my-throne-for-biafra-freedom-eze-kanu-nnamdi-kanus-father/ 2 Likes

His words: “I am calling on the Nigerian government to release Kanu. In as much as I am not in support of any violent agitation or making of inflammatory statements against anybody for him to pass his message, I was the person that built Radio Biafra and commissioned it myself on behalf of MASSOB and the people of Biafra but, when I discovered he was using it against the main aim of the radio, I backed out, but, I am calling for his release unconditionally.” READ MORE==>>http://abacityblog.com/2015/10/release-nnamdi-kanu-uwazuruike-tells-fg/

Based on the information gathered from the report of the event organizer #Nnanna Ijomah, they submitted a protest letter to the media and to the officials of the Nigerian Embassy NY. READ THE FULL REPORT : Saturday, Oct 17, 2015 a sizeable crowd of Abia residents in diaspora gathered before the Nigerian Embassy in downtown Manhattan despite the relatively short notice of the event to protest the recent tribunal rulings in Abia state. New york City being a city of immigrants , it was not surprising to see a motley crowd of regular New Yorkers who ordinarily cannot tell where Nigeria is, let alone Abia state willingly join in our protest in solidarity with our cause after they were informed of what we were protesting about. All in all the protest was a success inasmuch as it signals to our folks back home that we in diaspora are in comradeship with their efforts in bringing about change in Abia state and the return of Dr Alex Otti's mandate and that their action so far has been an intersection between hope, courage and resilience, knowing full well the extent the present Abia government will go in stifling their efforts through the use of a corrupt police force.

The former national chairman of the Progressive Peoples Alliance (PPA) said membership of a political party should be an individual thing, just like religion, adding that no group or individual should speak for others, when it comes to matters of voting and voting rights. Nkire, who was a member of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, said the action of a few businessmen in Bayelsa State could jeopardise the future of Ndigbo in that state and therefore, advised them to ignore the so-called agreement.......

Leader of the Movement for the Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, yesterday said his mind towards why he is eager for the United Nation to come and carve out Biafra out from Nigeria. One of the reasons, he stated, was that the population of the former Eastern state, now South East and part of South South that make up Biafra land can currently boast of over 10 million people, adding that the Biafran people naturally do not share similar culture and tradition with Hausa-Fulani of the North and Yoruba of the South West as to continue to remain together under one country called Nigeria. Another reason was that MASSOB, as a separatist group, had all it takes to run a sovereign state of Biafra, having had enough instruments, structures, flag, currency, coat of arms and defence to assume a status of an existing government.

Infact, it is an act of cowardice to do that, because we are a non-violent organisation fighting to actualise a Biafra Republic.” ” if OBJ as president, who hated Ndigbo and what we stood for could not stop MASSOB for eight years, is it Buhari that will stop us.” ==READ MORE==>>http://abacityblog.com/buhari-cant-stop-us-massob/
