Well, Chief, you may think the circumstances has changed, but even till now, Saraki's actions shows the trappings of a man with zero loyalty if his personal interest is not guaranteed. He did it with his Dad, his Sister, GEJ and now PMB.

I didn’t write new letter to Saraki, says Edwin Clark


Theophilus Onojeghen, Warri

An elder statesman and convener of the Pan-Niger Delta Forum, Chief Edwin Clark, has denied writing an open letter to the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, saying that the letter which is trending on the social media is the handiwork of mischief makers.


Clark, who clarified that though he wrote a letter five years ago to the Senate President, the said letter written in 2013, and circulating on the social media, was aimed at misinforming and misleading the public.

In a statement he personally signed on Wednesday, the Ijaw national leader observed that the issue which prompted the letter had been adequately addressed.

He stated that he was proud of Saraki for protecting the legacies of his late father, Dr Olusola Saraki.

Clark said, “The said letter which I wrote over five years ago was written out of despair and anger, at the time, to reach Dr Bukola Saraki, who was then the Governor of Kwara State, in order to mediate in a misunderstanding between my very close friend, his father, late Dr Olusola Saraki, Waziri Ilorin, his daughter Senator Gbemi Saraki on one side, and his son, Dr Bukola Saraki.

“The circumstances that led to my writing the letter had been settled long ago. Today, Bukola Saraki is my son with whom I enjoy a good relationship. It is, therefore, surprising that this letter written over five years ago was altered in the said social media publication to suit the whims of the authors.

“Let me reinstate that the late Dr Olusola Saraki, father of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, was my very good friend and colleague in the Senate of the Second Republic where he was the Senate Leader. Thereafter, both of us were leaders of our respective geopolitical zones. While he was the leader of the Northern Union, I was the Leader of the South-South Peoples Assembly.

“Today, I have a duty to stand by my son, Dr Bukola Saraki, and also defend him, from any act of persecution, aimed at destroying his illustrious political career and his father’s rich legacy.”

Mynd44, OAM4J

That's a good one. It's a good compensation. Fayose almost rubbished the woman even though she's a vibrant member of the PDP.

Nice one from the Acting President. But they should extend that to all the security agencies. They all lack civility.

Hmmmmmm. Does that mean it was Daura that was blocking them before?

AutoReportNG:
At times when you put on the ignition of a car, one notices some abnormal shaking, it gets so bad when one is on motion and you are forced to park and get the cause. Well for those who seem to be having this issues, these are some likely reasons. While this may be an educational post, we still advise the service of a professional personnel to check the vehicle.

Who hasn’t witnessed a shimmy and shaky car once in their lifetime? Almost every car owner had gone through such a situation when they so shook that they felt just like enjoying a ride in an amusement park. Besides, you might be thinking, “why does my car shake when I turn it on?” Well, there is a reason behind your car shaking every time you turn it on.

Understanding the real reasons behind such behavior of your car can save you from standing clueless in the middle of nowhere. So, in case, your car shakes when starting, it is always better to know the reasons in advance to avoid any dilemma later on.

Why does my Car shake when I turn it on? Uncovering the reasons

There are a few reasons that can lead to car shaking as soon as you turn it on. Why not explore it here.

1. Engine Plight

The next time you think that why does my car shake when I turn it on, it could be an engine problem, possibly. Issues in the engine can make the car tremble. Yes, the engine compartment can emit the tremble or the shake. Maybe it’s not getting the appropriate amount of air, spark, or fuel to run smoothly. Symptoms that can signal you about the engine issues are a jerk while accelerating the car or may run fine for a while, and then begin to shake. When this happens, either you will have to buy a new spark plug or swap out those dirty filters to install a new one.

2. Brake Issues

Have you inspected warped brake rotors recently? Well, if not, then this could be the right time to check it, in case your car shakes when starting. Even brake problems can lead to a shaking car. The rotor is silver and shiny round shaped component that one can find in the disc brake system installed vehicles. Heavy wear and tear can affect its original shape, making it appear and work inappropriately.

When it is not in shape, it will probably be mounted from the surface. The original shape of the rotors is flat, which if damaged can lead to intensified vibrations in your car. Brake rotors are compressed with the calipers and the brake pads, leading to the vibration in your car. Hence, a proper check of brake and rotors on time can help.

3. Imbalanced Car Wheels

Generally, a shaking car means there is some trouble in the tires. But, most of us don’t realize that the issue could also be on the wheels of the vehicle. Sometimes, it isn’t the tires, but the wheels that cause your car to tremble. In such case, inspect for any clay or mud stuck to the wheels, which can be reached just by turning the wheels of the car.

If those metal squares have something like dirt or mud stuck inside it, then consider it the right time to clean it to get of vibrating cars. Mud stuck there unbalances the wheels, which leads to a shaken car. So, clean the wheels from every side to maintain the balance.

Conclusion

We hope that you might have got the answer to your question, which was why does my car shake when I turn it on. So, why not apply these tips in advance to get rid of all these reasons behind a trembling car before it actually happens.

What of engine and transmission mounts?? Can't they also be responsible for shaking and vibration?

All these govt recruitment that they are announcing here and there just because elections are around the corner.

“No amount of blackmail, intimidation or unholy use of ethnic chauvinism and religious bigotry, political jingoism or agbero-journalism will derail us.

see grama oh just say it's not possible to have Muslim-muslim ticket cos Christians have over 40% population in adamawa.

Your comment portray you as part of the propaganda team.

I am not under pressure to drop my deputy – Adamawa Governor

Governor Muhammadu Bindow of Adamawa State has denied a report making the round that he was under pressure to drop the state deputy governor, Martins Babale, for a Muslim candidate.

Mr Bindow in a press statement issued by the Commissioner of Information and Strategy, Ahmad Sajoh, described the report as “a blatant lie”.

The statement blamed desperate politicians who had lost relevance in the state of using ethnic and religious sentiments to discredit his administration ahead of 2019 general elections.

“We are aware that some politicians in Adamawa state who have totally lost political value and relevance have resorted to using ethnicity and religion as political currencies in the run-up to the 2019 elections.

“What is even worse is that these group of persons are willing to plunge this state into unending crisis if they are unable to achieve their political goals.

“In their desperation, they are prepared to go any length to score cheap political points including the recent hijacking of a peaceful procession organized by a credible religious body and now the hiring of a political tout masquerading as a journalist.”

While reiterating the commitment of the government not to be distracted by blackmail, the statement urged the media not to allow political jobbers use their platforms to settle personal scores.

“No amount of blackmail, intimidation or unholy use of ethnic chauvinism and religious bigotry, political jingoism or agbero-journalism will derail us.

“Let those who believe they have what to tell the electorate in 2019 step forward and face us in election using issues and achievements as factors that determine our relative electoral fortunes,” the statement added.

APC senators were not even at the National Assembly!

Yet the narrative everywhere is that they were the only ones allowed into the complex, while the PDP senators were locked out. Some high level propaganda is happening here and people are not seeing it because of emotions.

Good!

sarrki:
You know nothing

Pdp used it for politics

I am beginning to believe, as their only campaign talk now is to use herdsmen to scare people.

From Ekiti to Osun, PDP's only talk is herdsmen will come and kill you if you vote for the APC. Which in actual sense is contradictory if the APC is actually responsible for the herdsmen issue.

The way all PDP online goons have been screaming and using herdsmen to scare voters is highly suspicious.

MrPolitics:
Akpabio may help APC get significant votes in akwa-ibom but they can't win the state

All they need is to ensure they get more than 25% and to reduce the capability and capacity of the opposition to rig in this their stronghold.

rusher14:
Adams is a proper chairman.

I tell you. The guy get action and mouth.

Too much energy.

In fact, he has been unleashed.

Nogodye:
Many politician will retire in 2019 as far as politics is concern.Let see how it unfold...PMB till 2023

Oshiomole from 2023 till 2031!

Osiomole for President!

Minjim:
The close margin calls for the recount which Dickson declined.

After recounting Ogunbiyi's votes it's only logical to recount Adeleke's

Very logical. I just don't understand why we seem aversed to transparency in this part of the world.

Why can't we just do things in a transparent way and ensure everyone is satisfied with the action to a large extent.

These are just 75 people from the one hundred and seventy thousand plus people (170,000 +) that voted for Fayose's/ PDP candidate. It is allowed.

BabaO2:
Tambuwa hmmm, what a typical power drunk Hausa man, an ingrate.

And to even think some APC stalwarts considered dropping Buhari for him then.

emmy994:
INEC just showed us how complicit they were in this election. I don't know if we have taken time to add the votes gotten by both APC and PDP and subtract it from the total valid votes of 384,595 you will notice a difference of 9,021 votes. Please INEC can you explain this figure?
This is a better case for PDP at the tribunal. This is rigging at the highest level.

Nosaghae:
The election was not only between PDP and APC, other political parties got some votes as well

...including voided votes. Some people are so dull sha, and they are arrogantly advertising their ignorance to the whole world.

Concluding her ruling, Justice Ogunwumiju noted that the court had at an earlier adjourned date observed that it found it strange that Innoson, a judgment creditor will be employing all manner of tactics to delay the hearing of the substantive appeal entered in this court as far back as 2013.

Everyone in this judicial drama knows that the substantive appeal must be decided in this court and no matter how much time is wasted, the Supreme Court can only hear the substantive matter after it has been decided in this court”

These are the types of practices that give the administration of Justice a bad name considering that this case involves money and has been hanging in this court since 2013.

The lady of Justice don dey look Innosson with suspicious eye oh.

Getting interesting.

Innoson heads to Supreme Court as Appeal Court rules GTB appeal can be heard

A’Court dismisses Innoson’s preliminary objections against GTB

By Dennis Agbo ENUGU-The Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu, on Friday, dismissed the preliminary objections brought before it by the Chairman of Innoson Motors, Chief Innocent Chukwuma and his company, Innoson Motors Ltd

Innoson arguing through his counsel, Prof. McCarthy Mbadugha had at the last hearing of the matter on June 14, 2018 raised objections to a motion brought before the court by GTBank seeking to amend its notice of appeal before the court.

Delivering ruling yesterday, Justice Ogunwumiju held that, the court would be in serious error if it decides to wait and hear Innoson Motors’ preliminary objection. “There is no doubt that the application for amendment of the notice of appeal will, if successful, give the appeal a chance of being considered and disposed-off on the merit rather than on technicalities.

It is implicit in the constitutional rights of fair hearing that parties in a case be accorded every reasonable opportunity of being heard, and that extends to the right to amend their processes and place before the court all the issues they may wish to canvass to enable the court reach a fair and just conclusion,” she ruled.

Ogunwumiju also ruled that, “The fact that the respondent counsel raised objections to some of the grounds of appeal is not a bar that can deprive the appellant of the right to amend its notice of appeal.

The respondent has not argued that the notice of appeal that the appellant is seeking to amend is fundamentally defective. He has failed to identify any substantial or legally acceptable reason to support the objection. “There is no limitation of time to amend a notice of appeal, the objection by Innoson is not only frivolous but is vexatious and hereby dismissed.”

Concluding her ruling, Justice Ogunwumiju noted that the court had at an earlier adjourned date observed that it found it strange that Innoson, a judgment creditor will be employing all manner of tactics to delay the hearing of the substantive appeal entered in this court as far back as 2013.

“I see no reason to refuse the appellant’s (GTBank) request to amend its notice of appeal. “Everyone in this judicial drama knows that the substantive appeal must be decided in this court and no matter how much time is wasted, the Supreme Court can only hear the substantive matter after it has been decided in this court”. “Without any disrespect to whatever legal gymnastics being displayed by the 1st to 4th respondents’ (Innoson) Counsel, these are the types of practices that give the administration of Justice a bad name considering that this case involves money and has been hanging in this court since 2013.

“Considering all the reasons and circumstances set out above, I hold that it is in the interest of Justice that the appellants application be granted in terms of the following orders: Leave is granted to the Appellant (GTBank) to raise new issues in this appeal, Leave is granted to the Appellant (GTBank) to amend its notice of appeal in terms of the particulars and specifics highlighted in its supporting Affidavit The amended notice of appeal which has already been filed and served is properly filed and served Leave is granted the Appellant (GTBank) to amend its brief of argument to reflect the reliefs granted.”

UncleJJ:
Shehu Sani and Hunkuyi have been dropping fakes news in regards to their defection. It has happened 3 times, as at yesterday. I guess that would be the last.

Saraki has been stylishly backpedaling; he was at the Railway event, and just intimated INEC on available senatorial position in the house. I can't believe Buhari survived this.

Thanks to the political machinations of Tinubu and co.

Ategberoson:
I was vibrant that eleka/fayose will win not until fayemi started using the bridge and upaid salaries to blackmailed him


fayose caused the downfall of his deputy with the unpaid salaries. that bridge can pay three mth salaries of ekiti workers but yet he didn't pay, peoples welfare first before political attention


Now you've overhaul your political relevance for a mere technocrat who was fortunate a politician



I'm highly disappointed in you, you ve dented the image of olusola already

Fayose and co. equally blackmailed Fayemi with the herdsmen issue.

As demonstrated by the 2015 and the 2018 Ekiti elections, campaign based on hate and fear mongering does not work. It can backfire.

I hope the PDP will learn their lesson.

masterchi:
stop kidding yourself with those two bullshit of calabar was first FCT and lagos has oil. You are bigger (Cant really say if you are bigger because you could be 16) than those and if you need lessons google is yourself. Check the history of any major infrastructure in lagos. Try reading your history

Agreed that being capital city assisted Lagos to some extent.

But kindly also bear in mind, that Lagos became the capital city basically because it was the most developed, cosmopolitan and enlightened part of Nigeria as at that time.

It was already ahead of all the other places in Nigeria as per development and it will continue so.

Despite moving the capital out of Lagos for about 30 years now, it's commerce continues to thrive and it's miles ahead of every corner of the country.

Lagos commerce has always been ahead of that of other places in Nigeria since the 19th century. It is not only about the bridges built by the FG or the National theatre and National stadium.


The oil producing states have a good ground to improve their economy based on the huge chunk they receive from Federal allocations even higher than Lagos with more population burden, but they have not been able to elect visionary leaders only kleptos.

fairfora:
This man, why not just stop deceiving yourself? We're here in ekiti and we know clearly the PDP has won. If you want to see the actual results, go to naij.com and stop judging by what you see on NL

Premium Times has more credibility than Naij.com. What's with you and Naij that you have screaming their name since. I will take those results on Naij with a pinch of salt due to your desperation.

Good development. Fowler till 2023.

oshe11:
If Fayemi wins, It means Buhari isnt ready for Free and Fair election come 2019......

You are not serious at all. Folks like you are a grave danger to democracy. In a democratic contest between two highly popular political parties with almost equal chances of winning, you are already insinuating that the victory of one of the parties is tantamount to rigging.

Do you think civil servants in Ekiti are happy with the autocratic and dictatorial Fayose? Civil servants are being owed months, pensioners months and gratuity equally not paid for years, yet, he is building a bridge costing billions that is not needed for now.

The major supporters of Fayose are okada riders, NURTW and some market women. These category, though very loud-mouthed and rough, majority of them don't have PVCs. These category loves Fayose because he allows all forms of hooliganism and disorderliness that the well educated Fayemi do not allow.

Majority of the educated folks in Ekiti are for Fayemi including all the rural areas that Fayose abandoned only to be doing showmanship at the capital.

I strongly believe the votes from the neglected rural areas is what is going to make PDP lose this election.
