Where are Dino and his friend who helped this man to become a tyrant?

They should enjoy their karma.

hshahahaha hausa caled ipob yanmirri yoruba call them okoro what a name

tambuwal is still looking for softlanding, after he betray tinubu and later buhari. Tambuwal political career is goin down,

Godblesspmb:
I av said it, an Igbo Man is the most selfish individual on Earth.
When the north was doing well in agriculture and commerce and the Yorubas were also doing fine in agriculture and education, Ironsi realized that his Igbo brothers have nothing to offer that was the reason he stopped the regional government and introduce us to this wicked unitary government. He wanted d Igbo benefit from the had work of the North and west.
Now that they discovered that their neighbors have oil they start asking for regional government again.
Naturally,an Igbo Man is a selfish individual who always think he is wiser than anybody.
Because of greed they do away with the regional government which would have benefited them by this time, now they crying for restructure.

lbo are not interested regional government or restructuring, that is the truth. They only want to dominate other people region and enjoy their wealth

edgecution:
Serves him right!!! He's a traitor. He's the one that foisted Gov. Yahaya Bello on Kogi state and now that he fell out with him based on contracts kickbacks he's been playing activists.

Faleke would have been the first and only Yoruba governor in Kogi but the traitor Dino because of his greed rushed to Saraki to leak the news of the death of Audu so that Faleke ( perceived as Tinubu's boy) would not be the next governor. This same Dino with Saraki went to beg Yahaya Bello to come and be Governor. Same Yahaya Bello that did not deliver his Local govt during the election. Now God is using Bello to punish him.

Dino want to be governor yahaya bello godfather. So he betray his brother falake.

Greed kills

Dino should face his problem with governor bello.

dino should face his problem, he betray faleke his brother because of selfish interest. Thinking he will be governor bello godfather, he place curse on whoever challenge governor bello will c the wrought of God and insult people on that day. Dino need to re-watch governor yahaya bello inuguration ceremony and judge himself.

Greed kills.

benue state government/elders once accuse atiku of sponsoring heardmen attack on middlebelt for political interest, now he is campaignin, that he want to unite nigeria

akinbode1:
Dead on arrival......

most northern household are getting use to osibanjo, because buhari believed him. If buhari can raise osibanjo hands in 2013 as his successor, that is the end

osibanjo may pick the present governor of bornu state as his runing mate in 2013

Quality20:
was Jakande d ist civilian govnor? OK o Anyway how come so many Muslims have been governors in an overwhelmingly xtian state like Lagos?

what of otedola ?

A GOVERNOR THAT DONT HAVE A PROJECT HE IS DOING, YET HE CANT PAY SALARY

IBB has always advocate for a younger presidential asperant from PDP, which made PDP governors go for tambuwal,but atiku dollarised Ph primary and find his wayout. Now, if they say Buhari is old at 76yr, what of atiku who is 74yr? another general who has backdown is T Y Danjuma, T Y & IBB can't surport atiku over Buhari, only OBJ is still confuse, may be due to shame. PDP could have use buhari age to campaign against him, if they had present a younger candidate.

dokyOloye:
Chaii.
Trump said he never wants to meet such a lifeless person again and he stuck to his words.
Congratulations Saraki, You are full of life

did trump attend the program? or trump don't want to meet a thief like saraki

Most nigeria has been agitating for the restructuring of nigeria, either by giving each state power to control their resouces or to create regional government or devaluation of power to state/local govt. Now the organ of who has the power to initiate this is NASS. d present nass is lead by oppositio(pdp) who is also promising to restructure, if elected. most they win presidetial election b4 Atiku will restructure? why is saraki/dogara/ike/pdp and their supporters not pushing for restructuring of nigeria for Buhari to sign instead of the electoral bill?

OBASANJO HAS FINALLY LIFT THE BAN ON ATIKU, OBJ IS BEHIND ALL ATIKU PROBLEM, THE MAN IS WICKED

If Atiku pick a biafran as his running mate, Buhari will win the general election before 12 noonday

miracood:
RESPECT afonjas
NEVER!!!

. [ but you respect Bukola saraki the great-grandson of Alimi AFONJA of ilorin.

[size=20pt] yoruba people don't like saraki bukola because he his the the great grand son of AFONJA ALIMI of ilorin, who is a betrayal to OYO empire. so they don't like saraki. [/size]

WisdomFlakes:
Can't say I blame them because going by his antecedents, it is as if trouble follows him everywhere. He may likely not return to the senate next year.

Dino don't have electoral value in his senatorial district, since he gang up against falake his own brother and brought yahaya bello, his people will never forgive him.

goaldynboy:
And your Fulani herdsmen killing of other Nigerians in their homeland is not a prelude to disintegration of Nigeria?!!

I hope when state police chief in kano, arrest some southern and prosecute them for going against the law of the land, the southerner won't cry of victimisation

state police is a prelude to the disintegration of Nigeria

okenwa:
He should restucture Nigeria before the next election

all of a sudden Tinubu and his south West supporter's forget about regional government/restructuring agenda they are championing and started shouting Buhari 2019.

talk of selfishness

only selfish people agitate for restructuring - Buhari

https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/271784-new-tax-on-alcohol-tobacco-not-targeted-at-local-manufacturers-nigerian-govt.html


Nigeria’s newly increased tax on alcohol and tobacco is not targeted at local manufacturing industries, the country’s finance ministry has explained.

PREMIUM TIMES reported the new tax rates which commenced on Monday.

The finance minister, Kemi Adeosun, said the new excise duty rates would spread over a three-year period from 2018 to 2020 in order to moderate the impact on prices of the products.

She said that under the new rates for tobacco, in addition to the 20 per cent ad-valorem rate, each stick of cigarette will attract one naira specific rate per stick; that is N20 per pack of 20 sticks in 2018.

In 2019, tobacco will attract two naira specific rate per stick or N40 per pack of 20 sticks.

The minister said that by 2020, tobacco would begin to attract N2.90 kobo specific rate per stick or N58 per pack of 20 sticks.

In a statement on Sunday, the finance ministry explained that imported alcoholic drinks and tobacco had higher taxes.

“Contrary to claims that the rates were selectively imposed on local manufacturers, there is currently a 60 per cent duty rate imposed on imported alcoholic beverages and tobacco as part of measures by the Government to encourage local production and protect local manufacturing industry,” the ministry said in a statement by its spokesperson, Hassan Dodo.

New excise duty rates not targeted at local manufacturers – Finance Ministry

The attention of the Federal Ministry of Finance has been drawn to media reports that the new excise duty rates approved by President Muhammadu Buhari on alcoholic beverages and tobacco were targeted at local manufacturers.

2. The Ministry wishes to unequivocally state that the new excise duty rates which came into effect from Monday, 4th June, 2018, were not targeted at the local manufacturers.

3. The new excise regime seeks to achieve a dual benefit of raising the Government’s revenues to support the nation’s growth and reducing the health hazards associated with tobacco-related diseases and alcohol abuse.

4. Contrary to claims that the rates were selectively imposed on local manufacturers, there is currently a 60 per cent duty rate imposed on imported alcoholic beverages and tobacco as part of measures by the Government to encourage local production and protect local manufacturing industry. It should also be noted that beer and stout are currently under import prohibition to protect the industry from unfair competition from foreign brands.

5. In addition, other locally excisable products such as non-alcoholic beverages, cosmetics, perfumes, corrugated papers or paper boards and cartons have no excise duties.

6. We wish to clarify that the approved excise duty rates followed all-encompassing engagements with key industry stakeholders by the Tariff Technical Committee (TTC), of which Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) is a member. The stakeholders’ engagements contributed to the final recommendation.

7. The Federal Government remains committed to the industrialization agenda and shall continue to put in place fiscal policy measures to protect local manufacturers and stimulate the growth of the economy.

Gov. Bello’s Excuse For Non-Payment Of Salaries After Incurring N45b Debt In Two Years Laughable – PDP


The Kogi State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described as laughable the excuse that it is owing workers in the state twenty four months salaries because it is servicing inherited debt from previous administration.

In a statement issued and signed by Achadu Dickson, Director Research and Documentation in Lokoja today, PDP lambasted the APC administration under Gov. Bello, described it as a sinking ship that is looking for every excuse to hide its shame and failures.

The PDP said the Capt Idris Wada administration handed over a state that was financially buoyant, with a debt profile of only N800million, to the present administration, lamented that in just two years of the APC administration the state is now indebted to the tune of N45billion.

While it is on record that Kogi State under Capt Wada was the least indebted state in Nigeria, little wonder under the APC led federal government administration it was to source N50billion as bailout, which the Bello administration got but wasted N20billion without paying the workers it was meant for.

The PDP says it remained proud that under its administration in the state all Kogi state workers got paid as at when due, lamented a situation where after sacking about 15000 workers in the state, Gov. Bello is still not able to pay salaries.

While noting that it is on record that the present administration squandered a N10billion loan it accessed even without the approval of the state assembly on account of the state workers, said Gov. Yahaya Bello is looking for excuses over his inability to pay salaries of workers who on daily basis are dieing by committing suicide, due to hunger, sicknesses, which could have been avoided if they had been paid.

While calling on the APC administration to either apologize for its failure having raped the state dry, the PDP says it is happy that Gov. Bello’s administration can point to about fifty water projects, hospitals, Schools, Kogi House, Kogi Hotels, the Confluence Park, and the completed Diagnostic Health Center it is repainting as some of the numerous projects it inherited.

The PDP says it make bold to challenge the APC administration to list projects it has initiated and completed in spite the several billions of Naira it has received, aside from a tale of corrupt enrichment by few persons in the administration which can be verified from personal properties in and around the state as well as in Abuja.

The PDP call on the present administration to remain silent if it has nothing worthy aside lies it can use in deceiving Kogi Citizenry as it’s time no doubt has come to an end as can be observed from the fractionalization within the party.

Finally, the PDP says it last administration is on record to have received averagely N2.5billion monthly, yet paid salaries of those the present administration described as ghosts.

“Unfortunately, after Gov. Bello’s sack, and with an average of N4.5billion monthly, outside several interventions as bailouts and loans, the administration is owing workers for twenty four months.”

The PDP notes therefore that if the present administration of Gov. Bello for reason of shame fails to apologise to Kogi people publicly, it would no doubt do so before the Creator, as a crime against the people of the state is certainly a crime against the Almighty Creator.

The Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) on Friday took over the asset of Sea Petroleum & Gas Limited and its affiliated companies.
The company is promoted by former Minister of Aviation and Nigerian senator, Stella Oduah.

A statement by Jude Nwauzor, AMCON spokesperson, said the organisation took possession of the company’s asset around 11:00a.m Friday


The decision followed a judgement by Justice M.S. Hassan of the Federal High Court Lagos Division which granted an injunction against Sea Petroleum Oil & Gas Limited, on the application of AMCON.

“Princess Oduah-Ogiemwonyi, a serving member of the 8th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has been having a running battle with AMCON over her inability to settle her huge debt of nearly N20billion,” Mr Nwauzor said in the statement sent to PREMIUM TIMES.

“AMCON purchased the Eligible Bank Assets (EBAs) of Sea Petroleum & Gas Limited from Union Bank Plc sometime in 2012. But despite the overtures and genuine efforts made by AMCON to reach an amicable settlement, the Senator and her co-promoters have remained recalcitrant.

“Having exhausted all avenues of peaceful resolution of the humongous debt, AMCON had no other choice than to refer the matter to court.

The order also affects Princess Stella Oduah’s other business interests for which AMCON has since appointed Moyosore Jubril Onigbanjo, SAN as Receiver over the assets of Princess Stella Oduah-Ogiemwonyi; Sea Petroleum Oil & Gas Limited; Sea Petroleum and Gas FZE as well as Star Tourism and Hotels Limited.”

The court also ordered the freezing of the funds of Sea Petroleum & Gas Limited and its affiliated companies and principal promoters held anywhere by any entity or persons in Nigeria, the statement said.

It also authorised AMCON and its Receiver, Moyosore Onigbanjo, to take over all assets pledged as collateral for the facility by Sea Petroleum Oil & Gas Limited.


“Justice Hassan specifically ordered Sea Petroleum Oil & Gas Limited and its affiliated companies to hand over the company’s business, which sits on over 9000 square metres of land in the fastest developing area of Lagos State along the Lekki-Epe Express Way; two Tank Farms of 500 metric tonnes capacity; a property at Maiyegun Tourism Zone, Lekki Peninsula Scheme 11, Lagos Island and a filling station complex at kilometre 14, Lekki Epe Expressway, Ikota, Lagos State,” the statement explained.


“The court order also listed a host of other assets across the country including Plot 2,block 12C, Babafemi Osapa Crescent Lekki, Lagos State; Block 5, house 4AMobolaji Johnson Estate, Lekki, Lagos State; Office/filling station at Jakande, Lekki, Lagos State; Office complex 1,2 and 3 km 14, Lekki-epe Expressway , Ikota, Lagos State; Filing station Complex at km14, Lekki Epe Expressway, Ikota Lagos State; Staff residential Quarters, Ikota Lagos State; E25-E36, Gat Oboh Drive, Millennium Estate, Oniru, Lagos State and F3-F5, SPG Road, Millennium Estate, Oniru, Lagos State. The rest include, SPG Agungi 2 Lekki Lagos State; Office/Filling station complex at Funmilayo Ransome Kuti, FCT, Abuja; Gas plant at Karu, FCT, Abuja; Filing station Complex, Lugbe, FCT Abuja and Agriculture Farm at Kuje, FCT Abuja.”


In compliance with the order of the court, AMCON said it simultaneously took possession of the asset of Sea Petroleum & Gas Limited and its affiliated companies.
It said further that the Court in granting the injunction ordered the Inspector-General of Police, Assistant Inspectors-General of Police, and the Commissioner of Police in charge of Lagos State, their deputies and all other police officers under them to assist Mrs Onigbanjo, the Receiver and the Bailiffs of the Federal High Court in the enforcement of the orders.
