In contrast, TANOIDS are here to whine and cry cos PMB is taking his time to clean the rot GEJ left behind.

All the problem PMB is facing today, why didn't GEJ your hero eradicate them during his 6yrs tenure.

[b]PMBs tenure is just a little over a month and fuel supply nationwide has been steady at the stipulated price of N87. Also, power supply seems to have improved drastically[/b]Y accredit another man's sweat to him na

Step by step, we are getting there

HzRF:
FRESH facts on Tuesday indicated that the national caucus meeting of the All Progressives Congress scheduled for Monday was cancelled because of the suspicion within the party.

The PUNCH learnt that the APC leadership called off the meeting because of reported anger of some leaders of the ruling party in the north at insinuations by Chief Bisi Akande that they were behind the crisis in the party.

Akande, a former interim national chairman of the APC, had in a letter made public on Monday alleged, among other things, that, “Most Northern elite, the Nigerian oil subsidy barons and other business cartels, who never liked (President Muhammadu) Buhari’s anti-corruption political stance, are quickly backing up the rebellion against APC with strong support.”

A member of the party’s caucus from the North-East geopolitical zone, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, said it would have been a rancorous session if the caucus meeting had held in what he described as “such an atmosphere of mutual suspicion.”

The party leader, who in fact said he would have spoken on the record if not for the fence- mending efforts being made by other leaders of the party, said, “We (northerners) are unhappy about Chief (Bisi) Akande’s outburst. It was unnecessary because we are all trying to put out a fire that is threatening to consume our house. And when you have a respected leader and elder making such unguarded statements it does not help.

“I personally hold Chief Akande in high esteem but what he wrote in that letter was nothing short of an insult on our collective sensibilities. How can you single out a section of your party and call them criminals who were supporting rebels to destroy the party we all built? This is most unexpected and uncharitable to say the least.”

Also, a chieftain of the APC, Alhaji Kawu Baraje, on Tuesday, described as unfortunate, the statement by Akande.

Baraje, in a statement in Abuja, said he was disappointed that Akande who had led the party and served as a state governor could author a statement in which he was allegedly seeking to divide the nation by setting the North against the South-West.

The APC leader, who once served as the national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, said, “I do not know where Chief Akande and his cohorts are getting this unsubstantiated information they are circulating. We challenge them to provide proof and let Nigerians make their judgment.

“Akande and co believe that they have exclusive right to determine who occupies what position in today’s Nigeria and whoever tries to challenge their position must be subjected to savage attack in the media. That tactic is definitely undemocratic.

“I have known Chief Akande to be an honest man. I got the shock of my life when he alleged that I had a meeting in my house with ‘some old and new PDP members with a view to hijacking the National Assembly’ through the aspiration of Dr. Bukola Saraki as the Senate President.

“I have been quiet as a leader so as to not to be seen as taking sides because of my closeness to Dr. Saraki, else people will read meaning into it.

“Akande has been playing a role which I admire. He will recall that he met some actors, with a governor from the North-West and a leader of the party from the South-West, where the leader from the South-West was cautioned to be reasonable in this crisis.

“He (Akande) supported the view of the governor from the North-West that the particular leader from the South-West should be admonished for his action. It is therefore surprising that Akande is now being economical with the truth and painting a picture that exists only in his imagination.”

Baraje said the allegation by Akande that a purported meeting took place in his (Baraje’s) house after the general elections, where “a so-called new PDP group plotted with a view to hijacking the National Assembly…with an ultimate aim of resuscitating the PDP as their future political platform” was a mere fabrication.

Our correspondents learnt that renewed peace moves were being made in the party and that the party leaders were hoping that they would before Friday achieve an atmosphere conducive to holding the APC NEC meeting.

The APC NEC meeting was shifted from Tuesday (yesterday) to Friday to enable party leaders to engage in further consultations.

A top member of the APC National Working Committee, who did not want his name mentioned, said that the meeting was postponed to allow tempers to go down.

“All leaders are in touch with one another and I can assure you that the crisis will be resolved on Friday,” the party source said.

However, the Deputy Senate Leader, Senator Bala Ibn Na’Allah, himself a northerner, had defended Akande on Monday. Na’Allah said Akande must have been misquoted.

The senator said, “Chief Bisi Akande is a highly respected senior member of this country and I am not so sure he had not been misquoted on that issue. Even where it exists, I am absolutely sure that it cannot be the correct statement on the situation.

“The North holds every section of this country high; we detest the idea of even labelling us as North because we have passed that stage with the current development in our country.

“We are a united country whether we like it or not with some few interests being defined at different levels of our governance but as far as Nigeria is concerned, I don’t want to believe that there is any conspiracy.

“If there is any conspiracy on the part of the North, what made you think that the conspiracy will involve bringing somebody from the Peoples Democratic Party and from the South-East to become the deputy senate president?”

The Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Mr. Timi Frank, on Tuesday, confirmed that the party’s National Executive Committee would meet in Abuja on Friday to thrash out all issues affecting the party.

“We are holding our NEC meeting on Friday and I am sure all our issues will be thrashed out and the party will come out stronger,” Frank said.

Nigeria still gives power to Niger, Republic of
Benin – Nnaji
By BusinessNews Staff on June 24, 2015
Despite the acute power deficit in Nigeria, the
country still gives undisclosed quantity of electricity
to Niger and Republic of Benin, as part of the
government-to-government efforts to boost regional
integration in the West African sub-region.
Speaking at a special session of a just-concluded
power conference in Lagos, a former Minister of
Power, Professor Barth Nnaji, who confirmed this
development, stated that progress was being made in
both western and southern Africa in the areas of
integrating power supply.
He noted that the West African Power Pool (WAPP) is
a body established for West Africa, with delegates
from the various countries of the sub-region in that
body.
According to him, there are about 18 countries in
West Africa but four countries are islands, which
cannot be part of a grid.
“But we are all talking as part of the power pool. We
also have a regulator. The beginning of progress is
when you have a regulator. If you have the regulator,
then you can begin to put things together and that is
already in place in the case of West Africa. So, we do
have support of the various governments,” he said.
Nnaji further stated that Nigeria’s Ministry of Power
would always give maximum support to the concept
of West African Power Pool, adding that the concept
is already working to some extent.
“Nigeria gives power to Niger Republic. Niger’s
Minister of Energy and Petroleum, Foumakoye Gado
is here to agree that we do. And the way it works is
that if you have a country-to-country agreement, then
that power must go to the other country, no matter
what, unless your system totally collapses. But by
agreement, it must go. We give power to Benin
Republic and there is plan to increase it. There is plan
to build a 330 KV transmission line from Lagos to
Republic of Benin to increase power supply to that
country. So, these are things that help government to
support the integration we are talking about,” Nnaji
said.
The West African Power Pool (WAPP) is a specialised
institution of ECOWAS, which covers 14 of the 15
countries of the regional economic community.
The countries include: Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina
Faso, Ghana, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Liberia,
Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone, and Togo.
WAPP, which prides itself as an international
organisation of public interest, is to ensure Regional
Power System integration and realisation of a
Regional Electricity Market.
WAPP is made up of public and private generation,
transmission and distribution companies involved in
the operation of the electricity in West Africa, with 26
member companies to date.
The body was created by Decision A/DEC.5/12/99 of
the 22nd Summit of the Authority of ECOWAS Heads
of State and Government with the aim of promoting
reliable power supply in the West African sub-region.
Subsequently in January 2006, through Decisions A/
DEC.18/01/06 and A/DEC.20/01/06, the 29th Summit
of the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and
Government held in Niamey respectively adopted the
Articles of Agreement for the establishment and
functioning of WAPP, and granted the WAPP
Secretariat the status of a specialised institution of
ECOWAS.
On the July 5, 2006, ECOWAS signed on behalf of
WAPP a Headquarters Agreement with the
Government of Benin, conferring on it diplomatic
immunities required to operate effectively within the
entire ECOWAS Member States.
The headquarters of WAPP Secretariat is presently
located at Akpakpa, Cotonou, Republic of Benin.

SeverusSnape:
Yes na... Part-time work, It's a great job opposing these 'change' chanters.

SeverusSnape:
Rubbish.
Useless APC!....To think PDP was the ruling party for 16 years and never had this kind of problem shows they are really mature, unlike this opportunists who came to power because of the gullibility of some Nigerians.

That is your change.

Ezenwammadu:
That one is President Buhari cup of tea.l was promised N1=$1 during his campaign in imo state

bloodkiIler:
Amaechi is a thief and after Wike finish with him even the illiterate Daura President the bastard kunu sipping gorilla will not save him.

Buhari is a terrorist - Elrufai

hifaif:
Can't understand what your lamentation is all about. You were promised Heaven on earth. So you expect that to happen just like that. Not even a group of the world's best heads can turn this country around in 1 month. You have to stop thinking like a toddler.

And please, for your own good, better be patient so that you don't miss out on the CHANGE coming.

lilprinze:
Can someone just tell APC to get their ass together and tell this Daura President to start working. Enough of the lame and useless excuses.
He promised us change and change he must give us!!

boolet:
In that case fast-forward the time, since you are a magician.

Nellybii:
You dafty haven't made any point here. The question is what have you achieved since last month on your own.? Am sure you are still at the same point. Do you expect to see things change overnight. Your imbecility is hereditary. Mtchewwwwwww

boolet:
Hmmm. Snail approach abi. Don't worry the destination is not far, so the snail will reach its destination in time. Let's give him time, it is too early to give him knocks when in the real sense we'll give him kudos when the time comes. Gbam!

hifaif:
Mizmycoli, use the noose already. You bunch of "distractors" need to give yourselves a break before you run yourselves to death.

Buhari will work. All he needs is patience from you guys. But if you are too impatient (you were patient through 16years of misrule, so what is the gibbering all about when this government hasn't even spent a month in office), you can all go dip in the lagoon. Good riddance, if you eventually choose that option.

MizMyColi:
What has the trips he made so far yielded?

Are people still dying like chickens or not?

Don't even bother quoting me to tell me some G7 folks pledged some Money that may likely take eternity to redeem.
Ask Oga Jona.

Oga BuBu is yet to settle down and another trip is in the offing.

This is clearly a trips and photo ops government, till further notice.

Running an instagram-esque government.
My people don enter.

koboko69:
