The Senator representing Ogun East Senatorial District, Buruji Kashamu, who was hailed by his colleagues while taking his oaths during the inauguration of the Eighth Senate, on Tuesday, was conspicuously absent during plenary on Wednesday. Kashamu, who was recently in the news following the attempt by the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agency to arrest him over alleged drug related dealings in the United States, stole the show on the floor of the Senate when called upon to take his oath. The Ogun State senator acknowledged cheers from his colleagues and spectators at the gallery as he walked slowly to the Clerk’s table, signed necessary documents, before he proceeded to shake hands with the senate president. The ovation was loudest when Kashamu was returning to his seat and his colleagues stood up and took turn to shake hands with him. The senator was however not at Wednesday’s inauguration of the pro- Ahmed Lawan’s senators conducted by the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki. Meanwhile, the NDLEA said on Wednesday that it had not given up on ensuring Kashamu’s extradition to the US to face trial for alleged drug- related offences. The NDLEA, Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Mitchell Ofoyeju, on Wednesday said the agency had complied with the court orders in respect of the case. Ofoyeju, however, said the agency would explore legal means to achieve its aim. He said, “We have obeyed court orders and he (Kashamu) had been sworn in. But the case is not over. He had gone to court to seek several orders to stop the NDLEA from proceeding with his extradition but we shall explore legal steps in the pursuit of the case to a logical end.” The agency had been at daggers drawn with the Peoples Democratic Party chieftain over a claim by the former that it received an order from the US government, demanding that he be extradited over drug- related offences. In what it tagged ‘house arrest’, the NDLEA had drafted scores of its operatives to Kashamu’s house in Lekki, Lagos State for six days before they were withdrawn, following court orders. A Federal High Court in Lagos, had in separate rulings, restrained the NDLEA and any other agencies in the country from unlawfully arresting and forcefully extraditing the Ijebu-born politician to the US. source: www.punchng.com/news/embattled-kashamu-absent-from-senate-session-on-wednesday/

Punch News – Members of the Barnabas Gemade -led Senate Unity Forum have threatened to take a legal action against the emergence of Bukola Saraki on Tuesday as the President of the Senate. They told a news conference in Abuja on Wednesday that the election of Saraki did not follow due constitutional procedure. They addressed the journalists after walking out of the Senate chambers when Saraki overruled Gemade and Kabiru Marafa while questioning the process that produced the new Senate leadership. Saraki had administered oath of office and allegiance on 28 All Progressives Congress lawmakers, who were absent at the inauguration of the Eighth Senate but when plenary commenced, Gemade and Marafa raised a point of order on the issue. Gemade, a former Peoples Democratic Party national chairman, demanded full integration of the SUF members who were absent from the formal inauguration on Tuesday. He said, “I will like to appeal to the President of the Senate that driving for a united Senate, it would be reasonable to accommodate everyone. But if the desire is not to accommodate all, then you are heading for a divided Senate. “That would not be good for your leadership, for the senate as a whole body, and it will also not be good for the nation. It behooves on you, Mr. President, that due recognition must be given to all concerned.” Marafa, who raised a point of order protesting the way and manner Saraki emerged as the Senate president, demanded full investigation. He said, “The news was that the Senate was inaugurated with 57 senators while 51 senators- elect were absent. “The news portrayed me and many of my colleagues as irresponsible members of this hallowed chamber. That we were absent from an event that was announced and which we were to attend with our spouses and well wishers, showed us as irresponsible people. “That caused unwarranted embarrassment to me and other members of this Senate and our family members. I want to put it on record that after the swearing in today (Wednesday), I was handed down Senate standing orders as amended. “I want to say that as an active member of the former Seventh Senate, I cannot recall where and when the Senate orders were amended or tabled for any amendment or corrections. I think it is worthy of notice that this act was perpetrated and the Senate should call for a full investigation of what happened and where this document emanated.” After they were overruled, the 28 senators, including the APC choice candidate for the Senate Presidency, Ahmed Lawan, went to address journalists. They did not return until the session rose. Gemade,who spoke for the forum, said that 51 senators were denied the right to take part in the election of Saraki because they were at the International Conference Centre in Abuja for a scheduled meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari. He said the group had resolved to challenge the “ illegality” in court “since it takes two-third of members to impeach the Senate President, two third of the members should also, have been in attendance before he(Saraki) was elected on Tuesday” The Benue State-born lawmaker, said, “Our right to participate in the election of the Senate President is a constitutional right which cannot be taken by any person or group of persons. “The Clerk of the National Assembly (Salisu Maikasuwa), knowing full well that the quorum for election of the Senate President was not met, went ahead to conduct an election that shut the door against about 51 other senators. This will remain unacceptable until what would meet democratic parameters is done. “The insinuations in some quarters that we boycotted the election is totally unfounded. As loyal party members, we would take all necessary political and legal means to strengthen our democracy and democratic process in line with the change that we promised our teeming supporters during our electioneering.” Gemade insisted that the election of Saraki was null and void because “a quorum was not formed , which should be two-third of the senators present.” He said, “53 senators were out and the remaining 56 were not enough to elect the President of the Senate. That is a clear position that we take. We are not considering the attendance of that day to connote the quorum in the Senate because many Senators came there after the event was done.” Saraki had after his election on Tuesday administered oath of office and allegiance on 75 senators. When he was elected, there were 23 APC senators and 34 PDP senators in attendance. But when the election of his deputy(Ike Ekweremadu, a PDP lawmaker) was being conducted, the number rose to 75. But at about 8.30pm on Wednesday, Gemade, Lawan and 26 other members of the forum gathered at the Senate chamber waiting for Saraki to formally swear them in as senators. The senators, after the votes and proceedings of the previous legislative day were adopted, took turn to take their oaths by reading it out aloud and appending their signatures. source: www.punchng.com/news/28-apc-senators-walk-out-of-senate-session/

Recent research has shown that one Chinese herb cured 98% of cancer cells in just 16 hours. Amazed? Read on to see more details on this exciting discovery. We are all too aware of the human epidemic of cancer. Much has been written linking our more unhealthy lifestyles and our over-consumption of processed foods, low-quality meat and dairy, and refined sugars as being contributory factors as well as pollution and environmental factors. Big Pharmas and the mainstream medical community dispel these links but more and more evidence is pointing to nature curing our ills – a fact they often don’t want to hear. This recent research was published in Life Science and involved the herb, commonly used in Chinese medicine, artemisinin which is a “Sweet wormwood” plant or “Artemisia Annua” derivative. When mixed with iron, researchers found that, within 16 hours, 98% of the cancer cells were killed. It was effective across all types of cancers. Artemisinin has been used in the past as a powerful anti-malarial herb, but this study was specifically exploring its action against cancer. Mixing with iron seems to be the key point, as when the artemisinin was used in isolation there was only a 28% reduction in cancer cells. So when the patients in this study were given an iron supplement (which often accumulates in breast tissue, but especially so in cancerous cells), the artemisinin was effectively able to target ‘bad’ cells and leave ‘good’ cells alone. The report concluded that “In general, our results show that artemisinin stops ‘E2F1′ transcription factor and intervenes in destruction of lung cancer cells, meaning it presents a transcription way according to which artemisin controls reproductive cancer cell growth”, “This looks very promising,” says Gary Poser, an organic chemist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland – this could be a huge breakthrough.
