President Goodluck Jonathan on Thursday formally presented
his hand over notes to the President-elect, Muhammadu
Buhari.
The presentation was done inside the Council Chamber of the
Presidential Villa, Abuja, shortly after Jonathan conducted
Buhari round the seat of power.
Vice President Namadi Sambo had also similarly conducted the
Vice President-elect, Yemi Osinbajo, round his wing of the
villa.
Jonathan presented an executive summary of his hand over
notes and a copy of the report of the National Conference to
Buhari in the presence of All Progressives Congress chiefs who
accompanied him to the event.
In his remarks, Jonathan said his administration had done its best
for the country.
Buhari said he would not make a bold statement until after
studying the handover notes.
He however commended Jonathan for conceding defeat in the
March 28 Presidential election.
He said the outgoing President could have made things difficult
if he wanted to do so.

The Depot and Petroleum Products Marketers Association
(DAPPMA) have denied ever embarking on any shut-down of
their depots and facilities.
In a statement on Tuesday the Executive Secretary of
DAPPMA, Mr. Olufemi Adewole, said that contrary to
the notion that they had shut down their depots, it was the
Petroleum Tanker Drivers (PTD) arm of the Nigerian Union of
Petroleum and Natural Gas workers (NUPENG) and the
National Association of Road Transport Owners (NARTO),
which transports petroleum products that embarked on the strike.
He said the strike was caused by complaints of not being paid by
marketers.
Adewole said:
“We have maintained that we would sell and load all
petroleum products available to us even as delays in the
payments of our reimbursement have continued to
impede and adversely affect our operations. The
suspension in loading in the last few days has been due
to the strike embarked upon by PTD-NUPENG and
NARTO. These two bodies had refused to load out/lift
petroleum products for distribution from our depots,”
He described the allegation by the Managing Director of Capital
Oil, Mr. Ifeanyi Ubah that DAPPMA member companies
embarked on a strike as completely false.
According to him, Capital Oil and Gas Industries Limited does
not participate in the petroleum subsidy scheme having been
disqualified from the PSF scheme’ by the government regulatory
agency hence they do not import petrol.
“The company is not owed a kobo under the PSF
scheme as they cannot make any claim hence they do
not feel the impact of non-payment of subsidy
reimbursements, instead, the company stores petroleum
products for NNPC/PPMC under a through
arrangement as do a few other members of our
association,”
“We reiterate that since the unions embarked on this
action, we have been dialoguing with them to seek
amicable ways of resolving this logjam bearing in mind
its harrowing and debilitating impact on the Nigerian
public and the masses,”
He stated that at the Senate Petroleum Committee’s sitting last
Monday, that the situation between depot owners/marketers
and the Federal Ministry of Finance and all other
stakeholders have been resolved.

PUBLIC workers residing in rented apartments in Calabar have
now formed the habit of avoiding their landlords following the
irregular payments of salaries by the state government.
They lamented their plight to one of our correspondents on
Tuesday just as the organised labour union formally declared an
indefinite strike over unpaid salaries.
Also, the strike embarked upon by civil servants in Oyo and
Osun states has paralysed governmental activities in the states.
Public teachers shunned schools while public offices including the
government secretariats were closed.
Workers in Cross River said the situation had forced them to beg
owners of private schools to give them time to pay their children’s
school fees.
A worker in one of the ministries, Mr. John Umo, said, “For
those of us leaving in rented apartment, we now run away from
our landlords since our rents are due to avoid public disgrace.
Our colleagues who have managed to own their homes are
lucky.”
Another worker, Mrs. Clara Adah, said, “We now borrow to
survive. We cannot pay school fees of our wards. We now beg
proprietors or proprietress of private school, to allow our children
attend school on credit or pay in installments.
Governor Liyel Imoke had, during the May 1 Workers’ Day
rally, promised that his administration would commence the
payment of the March salaries on or before May 5, and
subsequently defray others before handing over on May 29.
But the labour union said in spite of this assurances, workers’
salaries had not been paid.
In Osogbo, the Osun State capital, workers in the employment
of Osun State Government on Tuesday complied with the strike
order by the labour unions in the state.
One of our correspondents, who visited some government offices
on Tuesday, observed that they were shut and there were no sign
of business in many of them.
The state Government Secretariat at Abere was a ghost of itself
when one of our correspondents visited the place.
Some students of public schools who had gone to schools were
seen returning home as early as around 9.30am.
The situation was the same in Oyo State. However, the state
government has called on its striking civil servants to
demonstrate greater understanding of the situation which has
affected the payment of salaries as and when due and call off
their strike.
The state’s Head of Service, Mr. Soji Eniade, who made the call
while addressing newsmen in his office in Ibadan on Tuesday,
urged the workers to resume work and allow for further
negotiations to be made between labour and government.

Lagos state reportedly boasts of the fastest internet speed in
Nigeria with about 4.08Mbps (Megabits per second). Abuja
comes next with an average of 3.34Mbps, and all the other
states fall in behind. If you think that is fast, wait until you
see what is happening in other parts of the World. The no 10
country on this list has an average internet speed of
12.1Mbps! We haven’t started in Nigeria at all, we are what
you would call ‘learners’.

over the last year.

Notice how nos 1-3 fall into the category of people we call
‘chinco’. While we are busy making jokes about these people
– that they speak bad English and their products don’t last –
they are busy quietly taking over the World in everyway.
Our internet providers really need to step up the game!

Labour unions in Osun State on Monday declared a total strike
to press home their demand for payment of their six-month
salaries.
The Chairman of the Nigeria Labour Congress, Mr. Jacob
Adekomi, who read the address of the labour unions at a press
conference in Osogbo, said the strike would begin on Tuesday,
May 26, after the expiration of a 14-day ultimatum given to
the state government.
The address read, “That an indefinite strike action be commenced
by all the workers in the State of Osun as from Tuesday, May
26, 2015 due to the failure of the government to accede to our
legitimate demands, as contained in our letter to the government
dated May 12, 2015.
“The indefinite strike action will be total and by this billeting,
workers are advised to stay at home while pressing home our
demands. That no worker should resume work until
announcement is made by the labour bodies to that effect.”
The labour union alleged that apart from the salary issue, the
state government had refused to remit the contributory pension
deductions from their salaries to their respective retirement
saving accounts

The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency has advised the
Senator-elect for Ogun-East senatorial district, Mr. Buruji
Kashamu, to concentrate his effort on defending himself before
the Federal High Court where he is expected to appear on
Monday (today).
The agency reiterated that the decision to drag him before the
court followed a formal request for his extradition by the United
States.
In a statement by its Head of Public Affairs, Mr. Ofoyeju
Mitchell, on Sunday, the NDLEA urged Kashamu to save his
energy for the hearing of the extradition application.
Kashamu is the Chairman, Organisastion and Mobilisation
Committee of the PDP in the South-West and he was a staunch
supporter of President Goodluck Jonathan’s re-election bid.
He fell out with former President Olusegun Obasanjo and
teamed up with President Goodluck Jonathan during the battle
for the control of the party in Ogun State.
The agency said it was wrong of Kashamu to finger Obasanjo
and a leader of the PDP in Lagos State, Chief Bode George,
as being behind his present travails.
According to the NDLEA, Kashamu had been on the wanted list
of both the US Drug Enforcement Administration, and the
Immigration and Customs Enforcement of the Department of
Homeland Security.
The statement read in part, “According to an official report,
Kashamu has been on the wanted list of both the US Drug
Enforcement Administration, and the Immigration and Customs
Enforcement of the Department of Homeland Security.
“Kashamu was indicted in the Northern District of Illinois,
United States, on charges brought against him by ICE.
“According to the United States court documents, Kashamu in
his days as the leader of a prolific heroin-trafficking ring based
in Chicago, Illinois, was known as ‘god,’ ‘Daddy, and ‘Kasmal.’
He is wanted to stand trial for charges of conspiracy and
importation of controlled substances, namely heroin, into the
United States dating back to 1994.
“Kashamu, who holds dual Nigerian/Beninoise citizenship, has
taken multiple pre-emptive actions to thwart US extradition
efforts such as claiming that he was being mistaken for his
deceased brother whom he claimed committed the alleged
offences in the US.”
The statement also said that Kashamu had filed injunctions at
courts in the Northern District of Illinois, United States, and in
Nigeria to prevent his arrest and prosecution.
The NDLEA said, “These are issues that Kashamu should
prepare to address rather than point accusing fingers at eminent
elder statesmen who have no connection with the ongoing
investigative process. The senator who was placed on house
arrest at the weekend is expected to appear in court in less than
24 hours.
“We expect Kashamu, as a distinguished senator-elect, to
demonstrate ample confidence in the Nigerian judicial system
and stop the blame game.”
Meanwhile, armed NDLEA operatives have gained access into
the residence of the embattled politician, where he has been
confined to his bedroom.
His lawyer, Ajibola Oluyede, who spoke with our correspondent
near the residence, on Sunday, said Kashamu had not been
allowed to leave his bedroom since Saturday.
Oluyede said, “He has been locked inside the room while about
15 armed operatives are in the house. As I speak to you, I have
not even seen him. We have only been talking through the door.
This is disheartening because his little children and his pregnant
wife are all in the house with him.”
When asked to comment on the allegation that Kashamu
threatened suicide, the lawyer said, “He is obviously traumatised
but I wouldn’t say he is suicidal.”
Oluyede alleged that the NDLEA had no plan of taking
Kashamu to court on Monday (today) but only later decided to
do so because the media got involved.
“Their plan was to get him as early as 4am and put him on the
plane to the United States. It was never their plan to take him
to court. It was when the media reported the incident that they
decided to take him to court,” he said.
About 15 patrol vehicles were seen blocking all entries that lead
to Kashamu’s home while over 20 security agents were seen
patrolling the street.
Residents of the estate were made to take alternative routes as
all roads leading to Kashamu’s home were blocked.
In his reaction, the media aide to Kashamu, Austin Oniyokor,
however, berated the drug agency, accusing it of being the
mouthpiece of Obasanjo and George.
The statement said, “We do not know when the NDLEA becomes
the spokespersons for Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and Chief Bode
George. We do not need them to tell us to address our issues.
“We are addressing our issues. We had told the court of the
planned abduction of Kashamu and the NDLEA was
represented. The court had given an order asking all the parties
to stay action, pending the determination of the suit which had
been fixed for Wednesday.”
Oniyokor explained that Kashamu refused to hand himself over
to the NDLEA operatives, who stormed his Lagos residence on
Ladipo Street, Lekki Phase 1, on Saturday, because they could
not produce a warrant of arrest.
He said if the NDLEA provides a warrant of arrest against
Kashamu, the PDP chieftain would “hand himself over to them
but if not, he will not.”
But a member of PDP Board of Trustees, Chief Ebenezer
Babatope, described the allegation by Kashamu that George was
behind his travails as sad and ridiculous.
A statement by Babatope on Sunday said, “It is sad and
ridiculous of Senator-elect, Chief Buruji Kashamu, to accuse
Chief Bode George of being behind his current ordeal with the
men of the NDLEA.
“This allegation is not true. I have known George for over 46
years and I know him never to go on a witch-hunt of anyone as
a result of personal differences or disagreements. Though the
wife of George is the Director-General of the NDLEA, he can
never attack the person of Kashamu.
“I call on Kashamu to look somewhere else in locating those who
might have been involved in his travails.”
