8. INEC conducts a referendum within 90 days of receipt of the
petition if the minimum requirements for a referendum are met.
The referendum will be a simple yes or no vote on whether the
Senator should be recalled, and will be decided by simple
majority of the votes of the persons registered to vote in that
Senator’s
constituency.

That of number 8 will b very difficult, how many will like to go back to their home/village, becos they want to vote a senator out?

they can only start it, but they cant finish it.

its not easy to recall a senator in nigeria, going by inec law. it will be difficult to get 51% of voters who vote him in each polling unit of his constituent, to come and vote him out again.

stereo:
And no south-eastern governor has said anything? Not even APC's okorocha?

they are waiting for their Hero Foyose

YINKA ODUMAKI, FEMI FANKAYODE, FOYOSE WILL LEAD IBO PEOPLE TO THEIR GREATEST DEFEAT, THE WAY GODLUCK JONATHAN LOST 2015

AND Dino is calling bello olodo governor

jamace:
You refused to accept the fact that Gov Bello has paid over 95% of workers their owed salaries as at today. I'm very sure you have not read the Kogi State screening report to know how some individuals have been milking the state dry through dubious ways because you hate the truth and who knows, you could probably be one of those whose sins were exposed by Gov Bello through the screening exercise. .

what truth? the screenin exercise is a fraud, there are those who's name are on cleared list since last year december, but are yet to receive a penny. Even after the screening, he said he has forgiven those who has issue with their date of birth and those are th majority which the screenin affected. so what is the essence of his screening? since he collected d bailout fund, he most pay civil servant their salary. are u not even ashamed of ur self? 6 month now, all higher institution in kogi are closed down and he is not bother

jamace:
Yes, Gov Bello inherited 3 months of unpaid salaries but with many years of incomplete salary payments (Previous administrations paid 60%, 50%, and sometimes 30% of the salary to workers)

u are ignorant of what u are saying, bello is owning 13 month salary, while wada the ex governor is owning 2month b4 he left. Aside that bello has receive morethan 250billion, why cant he pay salary?

ffk is not respected by his people and has no political influence, only IPOB member celebrate him as their hero.

eagleeye2:
Reverse the same question. Why don't DSS sue charge Ubah to Court? Why keep him detention without any formal charges in a competent court of Law.

they are only gathering more information about his transaction and his assets, before taking him to court, for easy forfeiture to FG

omogin:
Federal government owes capital oil 18billion, just do the maths. They still owe him 7billion, so who should be arresting who.

according to u and uba, why don't u sue nnpc over the 17billion naira or its by shouting up and down without concrete evidence?

http://kogireports.com/double-registration-scandal-this-outright-violation-of-electoral-law-will-not-be-swept-under-the-carpet-kogi-pdp/


The people democratic party (PDP) in Kogi State on
Saturday accused the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) of double standards over its
acknowledgement that the Commission registered the state
governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello twice in violation of the
Electoral Act.

The party in a statement issued in Lokoja by its Publicity
Secretary, Prince Bode Ogunmola, said the development was
a vindication of the party’s earlier stance on the voter’s
registration status of governor Bello, adding that the APC-led
government in Kogi was foisted on the people of the state.
“It is not untrue that Yahaya Bello was not legally qualified
and had no moral standing to run for election in Kogi State,
in the first place, since he has never been a registered voter
in the state.

“It was not for nothing that some of his party members were
not happy and openly disagreed with the way the national
body of the APC imposed his gubernatorial candidature on
them. The state is presently groaning under a leadership
that has no place in moral justice.

“Our party is taken aback by the revelation that Yahaya
Bello registered as a voter for the second time on Tuesday,
23rd May, 2017 in Government House, Lokoja. This, to us,
smacks of double-standard on the part of the electoral
body”.

“The questions INEC needs to ask itself are: Did the officer
(s) of the commission that registered Yahaya Bello for the
second time not know that he had claimed to be a registered
voter? Does it mean that INEC has no record of voters in its
data bank, thus allowing double registration? No doubt,
somebody is not ready to stand by the truth somewhere.
“We expect that this outright violation of electoral law will
not be swept under the carpet as the Electoral Act
adequately prescribes the appropriate penalty for anyone
that violates the law.

“It is, therefore, not enough to cancel the second registration
without ensuring that the necessary penalty is meted out,”
Ogunmola said in the statement.

…As MRS Returns
Own Portion
of Missing Product
…Reports Case to
DSS, EFCC, NASS
…Sets up
Investigative Panel on
the Issue
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on Friday
announced measures to achieve full recovery of over 130 million
litres of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), also known as petrol,
stored in the facilities of two indigenous downstream operators,
MRS Limited and Capital Oil & Gas Limited, under a throughput
arrangement to ensure a robust strategic reserve.
Providing details of the act by the companies, Mr. Henry Ikem-
Obih, NNPC Chief Operating Officer, Downstream, told
journalists in Abuja that the infraction was discovered earlier in
the year when the Corporation had need to access the over 100
million litres of petrol stored at the Capital Oil & Gas depot for
NNPC Retail and just over 30 million litres in MRS Limited depot
all in Apapa area of Lagos.

He said so far, MRS has fully complied by returning the 30
million litres of Premium Motor Spirit (petrol) that it expropriated
while the Corporation had not achieved much progress with
Capital Oil & Gas which was yet to return 82 million litres of
petrol, valued at N 11b, out of over 100 million litres which it
took.

if Dantata/Dangote MRS oil company could refund 62billion naira and
four top official of NNPC are sacked over the missing oil, why
would ifeanyi uba refused to pay his own 11billion naira, is it
because is an ibo man?
thanks to saraki the Senate president for exposing this fraud
and ask DSS to investigate and prosecute the offenders

Alexkene:
Please, who is the current minister of police affairs? And who is more superior in the chairman of the police service commission, IGP, and minister of police affairs ?

police and other para military are under minister of interior

TonyeBarcanista:
Administratively, the CDS oversee the activities of the COAS, CAS and CNS. But operationally, the CDS is "just there" while the COAS controls the ground troops and the entire Army.

However, CDS only take charge during "joint" operations, which is rare.
Also, though the CDS has Administrative supervision over the COAS, he CANNOT tell the COAS what to do at any given time. Only the C-in-C enjoy such power. All Service Chiefs brief the C-in-C irrespective of their title.

The COAS by virtue of the control he has, is more powerful and influential within the army than the CDS. The COAS is more dangerous too.

Hence, a C-in-C could make anybody CDS but the COAS is usually a TRUSTED general.

@OP The COAS na him be d koko

this is how they spread lies to their fellow ipob youth, pls re edit ur false information

SEYILIGHT:
Even Obanikoro!





Will EFCC return the money they recovered from him?




This is shameful.

that is why he join apc, he need some legal contract from fg to make his money back

this is mergenalization, buhari hate biafra

Thank to nigeria senate president and other senators who order DSS to investigate nnpc and those oil company involve.

when DSS force MRS to pay 62billion naira last month, despite been a hausa man,nobody complain. ifeanyi uba should save himself from this scandal. if nnpc is owning uba he should sue them.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/consumers-now-free-buy-electricity-directly-gencos-fashola/


By Chris Ochayi
ABUJA – The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Mr.
Babatunde Fashola, has declared that eligible power
consumers are now free to purchase electricity directly from
power generation companies, GENCOs.

Fashola
Fashola, by this major policy directive, has empowered the
consumers to buy electricity directly from a licensee other
than power distribution companies, DISCOs.


Explaining the development, which might not sound
favourable the to DISCOs, in Abuja, Head, Public Affairs
Department at the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
Commission, NERC, Dr. Usman Abba Arabi, said, the
declaration was in line with provisions of Section 27 of the
Electric Power Sector Reform Act 2005.


He added, the provisions permitted eligible customers to buy
power from a licensee other than electricity distribution
companies.


Dr. Arabi stressed further that, “In exercising the power
conferred on him by the said Act, the Honourable Minister of
Power Works and Housing, directed the Nigerian Electricity
Regulatory Commission (the Commission) to permit four
categories of customers to buy power directly from a licensee
other than electricity distribution companies.


“The first category of eligible customers comprises of a group
of end-users registered with the Commission whose
consumption is no less than 2MWhr/h and connected to a
metered 11kV or 33kV delivery point on the distribution
network and subject to a distribution use of system
agreement for the delivery of electrical energy.

“The next category of eligible customers are those connected
to a metered 132kV or 330kV delivery point on the
transmission network under a transmission use of system
agreement for connection and delivery of energy.


“Other category of customers under the declaration consists
of those with consumption in excess of 2MWhr/h on monthly
basis and connected directly to a metered 33kV delivery point
on the transmission network under a transmission use of
system agreement.


“Eligible customers in this category must have entered into a
bilateral agreement with the distribution licensee licensed to
operate in the location, for the construction, installation and
operation of a distribution system for connection to the 33kV
delivery point.


“The last category are eligible customers whose minimum
consumption is more than 2MWhr/h over a period of one
month and directly connected to the metering facility of a
generation company, and has entered into a bilateral
agreement for the construction and operation of a distribution
line with the distribution licensee licensed to operate in the
location.


“The new policy directive is expected to bring into play new
and stranded generation capacities which may be contracted
between generation companies and eligible customers.


The declaration further provides that at least 20% of the
generation capacity added by the existing or prospective
generation licensee to supply eligible customer must be
above the requirement of the eligible customer and is
supplied under a contract with a distribution or trading
licensee at a price not exceeding the average wholesale price
being charged electricity distribution companies by the
Nigerian Bulk Electricity Trader Ltd.


“The conditions for the declaration of eligible customer is
subject to review by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory
Commission from time to time.”

Na Biafrans full dere. Make dem come pack dem comot sef.

majority of them claim they are selling joloof rice on the streets, but in the real sense they are selling drugs up and down

Olu20090:
The Nigerian government is the criminal in this matter for handling this via intimidation since he allowed you to store your products in his storage tanker. HE WOULD HAVE SAID NO AND THERE NOTHING YOU CAN DO. This is a business contractual matter that should settle out in court not via intimidation and arrest. This is not Banana Republic!

his he the only one that allowed NNPC to store pms in his storage facility? what about MRS oil company that store pms worth 62billion naira in their oil tank farm, but paid the money back to NNPC? this is a criminal case, he should deal with it.

psucc:
Op, where or which court did they say so because the DSS refuse to produce Ubah in court yesterday as directed by the court.

Anyway, in other reports, allegedly from their records of transaction, NNPC is owing Ubah N13b while Ubah 'steal' their N11b worth of petroleum products.

so you believe authority newspaper owned by ifeanyi uba side of story than this?

http://punchng.com/ifeanyi-ubah-diverted-11bn-pms-nnpc-tells-court-2/

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation has opposed the suit filed by the Managing Director of Capital Oil and Gas Limited , Ifeanyi Ubah , seeking to be released from the custody of the Department of State Services .

In a preliminary objection filed through its lawyer , K . T . Turak ( SAN ) , and argued on Thursday before Justice Mohammed Idris of the Federal High Court in Lagos , the NNPC claimed that Ubah and his company diverted 84 , 891, 730 litres of Premium Motor Spirit belonging to the NNPC . The PMS , the corporation claimed , was valued at N 11 , 144, 586, 314. 40 .

The NNPC claimed that the alleged fraud was discovered when its books were being checked. It said Ubah was aware that the NNPC had been under “ serious scrutiny, investigation and financial audit of its various accounts and daily productions ” since the beginning of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari . The development , the NNPC said , was aimed at “ stopping leakages in revenue and non - remittance of proceeds from the sale of petroleum products . ”

The NNPC said contrary to Ubah’ s claim , it did not intimidate the business , alleging that rather , it was Ubah and his company who circumvented a commercial agreement they had with the NNPC in order to allegedly overreach the NNPC and the Asset Management of Nigeria .

It said , “ Consequent upon the above development, the 7 th respondent ( NNPC) carried out stock physicalisation of operators’ storage facilities including those of the applicants (Capital Oil and Ubah ).

“ He ( Ubah) knows , as a fact , that the exercise revealed huge variance between the book stock maintained by AMCON and the physical stock available at Capital Oil depot as follows :

“ As of January 2017 , the variance between the book balance and physical balance of product in the applicants’ depot was 21 k , 286 , 860 litres . “ As of February 2017 , the variance between the book balance and physical balance of product in the applicants’ depot was 56 , 481 , 861 litres . “ By March 2017 , the variance between the book balance and physical balance of product in the applicants ’ depot reached 84 , 891, 730 .

“ At the end of the exercise , it was discovered that the applicants had converted and / or diverted 84 , 891, 730 litres worth N 11 , 144, 586, 314 . 40 without the knowledge of the NNPC and AMCON . ” The NNPC alleged that despite writing Ubah and his company to return the product or pay the money , they had “ deliberately failed , refused and / or neglected to do so . ”

The NNPC said Ubah was arrested and detained by the DSS pursuant to the security agency ’ s mandate to stop leakages and recover government revenue.

Also , the DSS , which had been detaining Ubah since May 6 , urged Justice Idris to dismiss the businessman ’ s suit , saying Ubah was being detained on the order of Justice Y . Haliru of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory , Abuja . The security agency said the order was lawfully obtained on May 10 in compliance with the provisions of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 .

Though Justice Idris had on May 9 , 2017 ordered the DSS to produce Ubah before him on May 12 to give reasons why an order for Ubah ’ s unconditional release should not be made , the DSS failed to take Ubah to court.

Rather, its lawyer , Mr . Peter Oluremodu , said Ubah was being detained based on a court order for the purpose of investigation and urged the judge to dismiss the businessman’ s suit.

“ We urge the court to dismiss the application because it is a ploy by the applicant to distract the agency in the ongoing investigation .

“ This is a case of economic sabotage for which a court in Abuja has ordered that we go on with our investigation . I urge My Lord to dismiss the application, ” Oluremodu said .

But Ubah ’ s lawyer , Mrs . Ifeoma Esom, urged Justice Idris to order Ubah ’ s release , contending that the DSS could not act as a debt collection agency .

“ Even if money were owed , it is still not enough reason to arrest and detain the applicant . The functions and duties of the Department of State Services as provided by law do not include the recovery of debts .

“ There is no correlation between the facts before my Lord and national security, ” Esom said. Justice Idris adjourned till May 25 , 2017 for ruling .

igbozionism:
