See the real picture as at 2015..before useless PDP will tell you , it was 90% completed

One Musa Inuwa Wakatu on Monday climbed a telecommunications mast in Abuja to protest alleged land encroachment by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, six years after he embarked on the same mission.

He climbed the mast at 9:40am at Nicon Junction in Maitama, causing an unusual scene that attracted a large crowd who thronged the area to catch a glimpse of the man.

A commercial driver, Yakubu Idris, said he saw the man while ascending the mast but thought that he was a site engineer who had come to do some maintenance work.

Musa, who climbed the mast halfway, distributed leaflets from the height, alleging that the former Vice President, through his American University of Nigeria (AUN), encroached and fenced his landed property of (300 feet by 100 feet) with structures inside at Bajabure in Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State.

He said he had protested on the same matter when he climbed a mast at Federal High Court in Abuja on 14th March 2012.

In the leaflet, he said: "I wrote a complaint letter to the former I.G. Mr.Hafiz Ringim and delivered to force headquarters on 5th December 2011, with visitor tag No.054 without any positive result.”

He explained that he was lured to collect money as compensation from AUN, which he rejected, but was later locked up in the cell by one Mr. Ibrahim Iro AC CID of Nigeria Police Yola Command.

He stressed that he had sold his inherited house to prosecute the case in the court of law without any result. He added that he was ready to pursue the case to the world court in order to get justice.

"Yesterday, someone's right was illegally taken, today mine is about to be taken. The next person right to be taken illegally tomorrow might be yours," Wakaltu stated.

The leaflet also contained his bank account name and number seeking financial assistance from Nigerians to enable him get lawyer for the case.

Wakatu therefore appealed to well-meaning Nigerians, civil society organisations and International communities to come to his rescue.

A detachment of armed policemen has arrived the area talking to him via his mobile phone but he has insisted that he won’t descend from the mast.

Frankly speaking all Buhari's supporters are illiterate. My friend your sentence should have read " I knew persons whom benefited from it not I know people who benefit from it"

are illiterate or are illiterates, Mr Literate ?

You can see President Buhari Queuing in the Villa to serve himself by allowing his guests to serve themselves first. The President subjecting himself to order and decorum.

This against Atiku wailing at the Airport as a result of routine check carry out on Private Jet , a norm for International flight. Atiku and PDP had wanted to make headlines after discovering that nobody give a dawm to welcome him from Dubai

It is sad how governor Peter Obi of Anambra has made himself a bewildering figure. That a man whose political stock was once solid would so abjectly fail to rise to people’s expectations is – there’s no other way to put it – a matter of profound tragedy.

Mr. Obi rose to the nation’s admiration when he rejected all entreaties to forego the gubernatorial mandate that the people of Anambra had given him in 2003, and which the PDP and its candidate, Chris Ngige, had usurped. Spurning misguided pleas to “leave everything to God,” he sought the reclamation of his mandate with a stubbornness that was refreshing to encounter in a Nigerian politician. In the end, he (and the people of Anambra) secured victory. His profile rose even further when he persuaded the Supreme Court to dismiss Andy Uba, a former presidential aide, from Government House, Awka. Mr. Uba, thanks to Obasanjo and Maurice Iwu, had been enthroned as Anambra governor.

Given his history, Mr. Obi’s political currency ought to lie in how jealously he guards his reputation as an espouser and defender of electoral integrity. Instead, with former Information Minister Dora Akunyili as his accomplice, Governor Obi has all but wasted this particular currency. And he has squandered this resource, paradoxically, in pursuit of power by all means. This particular obsession has magnified the governor’s shockingly small-minded statecraft.

For a man who has been a victim of electoral fraud, Mr. Obi’s conduct in the April 9 National Assembly elections is, quite simply, appalling.

Let’s begin with the campaigns. Mr. Obi and his team of handpicked candidates had entered the campaigns on a huge deficit. The governor’s political crisis was self-inflicted.

First, the governor’s party, the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA), had alienated party faithful by handing its tickets to elements that had just landed – expediently – from the PDP planet. As I wrote here a few weeks ago, Mr. Obi (along with APGA’s chairman, Mr. Victor Umeh) betrayed Anambra when he invited Chuma Nzeribe, an unpalatable political figure, to take one of the party’s senatorial tickets. Mr. Nzeribe was a prominent – and to this day unapologetic – member of the cabal that was empowered by former President Obasanjo to turn Anambra into what I once called a theater of absurdity.

It was bad enough that APGA fielded the likes of Nzeribe. That treachery was then compounded by the fact that, before choosing the PDP turncoats, the party had collected steep fees from longtime party members interested in the various elective posts. Is it not repellent conduct to collect fees from would-be candidates when the party’s plan was to embrace an all-PDP slate?

What’s more, Mr. Obi’s political capital in the state had become terribly meager. In the state’s governorship election of February 2010, many Catholic priests had made the deplorable blunder of proclaiming from the pulpit that Mr. Obi was the beloved political son both of God and the Pope. But soon after the election was concluded, many of Mr. Obi’s ecclesiastical supporters began to regret ever championing him. They suddenly beheld a man who is in the main self-absorbed, with scant concern for the well being of the governed. As I write, medical doctors as well as judiciary workers in the state have been on strike for several weeks. Yet, a governor who was sold to voters as commissioned by God and the pope has not deigned to enter into serious negotiations in order to resolve issues. Does the governor derive perverse pleasure from watching patients go through agonizing pain and even death because he’s too preoccupied to talk with striking doctors? How about the fact that he’s treated with disdain the state workers’ demand for the implementation of minimum wage standards?

If his nonchalance towards striking workers is ghastly, the way he conducted the campaigns for his legislative candidates was unbecoming of a man and governor. In fact, I was so ashamed of the governor’s reported utterances that I made efforts to ring him up and tell him that he ought to know better.

Several witnesses told me how, at campaign stumps with Mrs. Akunyili, Governor Obi told his audience not to vote for Mr. Ngige because the man is too short. Then he permitted campaign posters to be circulated in which the image of Mr. Ngige, a medical doctor and candidate of the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), was aligned with those of the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo and former Governor Bola Tinubu. By contrast, the governor’s candidates were lined up with the late Owelle Nnamdi Azikiwe and Ikemba Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. The sordid idea was to portray Ngige as belonging to a “Yoruba team.”

It beggars belief that a governor, any governor, would see fit to make his opponent’s height a campaign issue. Such an untoward focus on somebody’s physique is utterly immature and speaks to a bankruptcy of ideas. Does it mean that Mr. Obi believes a person’s height to correlate to ability? Does he consider himself more intelligent, more capable or morally astute than everybody who’s shorter than he? For that matter, does he believe himself to be inferior to all taller people? For if height is a criterion of stellar leadership, then we must wonder how Mr. Obi became a governor. Alas, Anambra boasts many, many men and women who are taller than he is.

It is similarly appalling that a governor who reportedly has ambitions for higher political office could not restrain himself from disparaging Mr. Ngige as a Yoruba candidate. Even if we accepted the silly argument that the ACN was a Yoruba party – so what? Is the governor allergic to forging political alliances with the Yoruba? Is he not aware that such appeals to base, ethnic sentiments would return to haunt him if he ever seeks to be a political player at the national level? At any rate, was Mr. Obi not chastened by the fact that the ACN is sweeping the southwest and making inroads elsewhere in the nation, while he and his cohorts have left APGA bereft of electoral prospects anywhere? If any proof is needed, it suffices to see how Andy Uba trounced Obi’s man, Chuma Nzeribe.

Campaigning for Mrs. Akunyili, Governor Obi often reached for cheap blackmail. He threatened to deny, or pull projects as political appointments from communities that failed to vote for his candidates. In making these threats, he forgot that the people hired him for the job – and that he serves at their pleasure.

Apparently, the people of Anambra were determined to take the risk. Most of the governor’s candidates were thrashed. Many people in Anambra are certain that Mrs. Akunyili, the candidate most after the governor’s heart, was also decisively defeated. The haste with which she’s seeking a re-run of the senatorial race with Mr. Ngige suggests that she knows, deep down, that she was roundly beaten on April 9. It would amount to a monumental injustice to the voters of Anambra to revisit an election that became competitive only after the shameless manipulation that took place in Anaocha Local Government Area. The APGA team should not be rewarded with an undeserved re-run. INEC chairman Attahiru Jega should insist that the investigative panel he set up deploy forensic technology to probe the votes in Anaocha. I believe such a test would unmask a narrative of stuffed ballots.

It’s odd and disturbing that Chukwuemeka Onukaogu, the Resident Electoral Commissioner for Anambra, would appoint Charles Esinone, a professor of pharmacy, as the new returning officer for the Anambra Central senatorial zone. The fact that Mr. Esinone and Mrs. Akunyili were colleagues in the same department at the University of Nigeria casts serious doubt about the returning officer’s impartiality.

Mr. Obi’s less than inspiring performance as a governor is, ultimately, responsible for his candidates’ electoral misfortunes. Rededicating himself to the service of the people of Anambra – rather than gubernatorial threats to his employers and obtuse politicking – is the only way to rebuild his tarnished political career.

When I first penned the piece, Boko Haram Sponsor Discovered In The Presidency, I never thought anyone will believe what appears to be a wild allegation, but recent events has confirmed I might actually be saying the truth.
The opposition All Progressive Congress on Monday, called for Reno’s arrest for links with Boko Haram. The party sighted “curious coincidence”, where there have been “increased tempo” in the sect’s activities and “certain low moments” in President Jonathan’s administration.
“The party said Omokri’s dangerous game should be seen within the context of some curious coincidence between several past Boko Haram attacks and certain low moments and/or at critical junctures in the administration of President Jonathan, giving the impression of an unseen hand playing the puppeteer.”
I was outraged when investigations first revealed that Special Adviser to President Goodluck Jonathan on New Media, had concocted a fiction of his imagination to link the sacked Central Bank Governor, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, with the dreaded Boko Haram sect, but past events has shown that we might have more problem than a lying presidential aide who poses as a pastor on Sundays.
On the 20th of October 2011, Reno Omokri tweeted about the Boko Haram problem in the north saying that: “If they need emergency action, then let them produce wealth. The North particularly the core North are parasites.”
The tweet has since been deleted as he claims his account was hacked. This presidential aide in question is known to operate multiple accounts on several social media platforms to present his opinion and also attack government opposition members. Wendell Simlim, might actually be a tip of the iceberg.
What we have seen is a serial sociopath, who would inevitably wreck President Jonathan’s government. Mr. Reno hatred for northerners is well established. Mr. Reno description of my northern brothers and sisters as parasites is not only disgusting, its sickening. No wonder he pounced on Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, soon as he had the chance.
The special assistant to the President on New Media knows with no doubt, the Jonathan administration is the worst government Nigeria has ever had. The President himself confirmed this recently by rewarding the person who held the previous title Dictator Gen. Sani Abacha (a name we ought to wipe off Nigeria’s history) with an award for ‘a good job well done’.
To confirm the failures of President Jonathan’s government, in 2012, one year after President Jonathan was elected into office, the British government accused his administration of having mismanaged $100billion of our oil earnings. Mr. Omokri went right into action, defending the outrageous mismanagement.
This character, who John Elnathan has rightly described as having multiple personality disorders is a minus to the Jonathan’s government and to Nigeria as a whole.
Hear Elnathan on Reno shortly after the news broke of him writing under pseudonym to implicate Mallam Sanusi on terrorism:

“…I want to state that Multiple Personality Disorder is real. I have been researching it since Reno Omokri was born again as Wendell Simlin. Although Multiple Personality Disorder is an extremely rare mental disorder, it is serious and is connected to a history of severe physical and/or sexual abuse and trauma. What Wendell needs is sympathy.
He may have suffered trauma and abuse as a child. We do not know how long he has had to live with these two personalities. All we know is that this Presidential aide has a dominant Reno personality, occasionally disrupted by the meddlesome and interloping Wendell. He needs our love. He needs help. Not condemnation.”
It is out of this love for Reno that I call on Pres. Jonathan to relieve Reno of his duties.
I had previously called for him to be sacked and investigated for allegedly sponsoring Boko Haram activities, but it is apparent that even if the investigating authorities find incrimination evidence against him, will that stand as enough evidence in the court of law to convict him of crime against humanity? As we all know, temporary insanity or this multiple personality disorder – an extremely rare mental disorder – which Elnathan talked about is a defense in the court of law.
I am no fan of President Goodluck Jonathan, in fact, I do not want him reelected in 2015; but we must not forget the fact that if anything reasonable comes out of his last one year in office, it will be to the benefit of us all. He must therefore learn to keep people with history of hate and “multiple personality disorder” from himself.
Keeping Reno Omokri in office is a distraction for President Jonathan’s government. He doesn’t need a lose cannon to be his mouth piece on social media. Mr. President needs someone with the right candour and persona to man that office as Special Adviser on Social Media. Something must be done and it must be done now or else, the international community whose attention Mr. President craves so much, will always stick by the opinion and feelers they get on social media which I can confidently say doesn’t favour Mr. Jonathan.
Lastly, while the #WendellGate storm was raging, Reno had the gut to pen a story about those ranting on social media, saying they are the privileged few, most of whom reside outside the country. Sorry to bust your bubble Mr. Wendell. Social Media users on Facebook and Twitter, represent a fair proportion of the Nigerian population. We have the rich and the poor, we have the old and young, we have Christians, Muslims, and Traditional worshipers and several other classifications you can think of. Most are struggling Nigerians, who represent part of the 112 million Nigerians who live on less than $1 a day.
For Mr. President to have any real chances in 2015, he must relieve Reno Omokri of his duties or else the odds will be against him.

I know Fayose has finished his tenure and everything but the reason why Ekiti civil servants were not paid their salaries was because Ekiti State was starved of monthly allocation funds for about a year! Where was it expected that Fayose would have paid salaries from?
