Chai!

Worse government...

How can someone win election without contesting for the position?

lofty900:
He has already won the second term. Even if he does not contest

May his soul rest in peace...

Compare with who?

Wasting of resources

Too bad for government that promised to fight corruption!

Some youths from Kogi West have declared support for a retired Director of the State Security Service (SSS), Dr. Toyin Akanle, as a replacement for Senator Dino Melaye in the senate next year.

The youths, at a news conference in Lokoja yesterday, said it was the turn of Yagba Federal Constituency, where Akanle hailed from, to produce the next senator for the zone.

The Coordinator of the group, Ogbeni Babatunde Teidi, said the people of the area had resolved to support Akanle to give the district good representation.

“We the Kogi West youths have not just decided to come out with one voice in favour of Akanle, we have decided to harmonise our voices in the interest of the constituents of Kogi West. We are well convinced that Akanle is indeed a priority to us all as he holds us to be important,” he said.

The just concluded local government elections in Kano State has revealed why the ruling APC can’t be trusted with governance by Nigerians, PDP chieftain, Alhaji Abdullahi Ali Kano, has said.

“The just-concluded farce called local government elections in Kano state is the worst form of democratic tyranny and this has taken us back to Stone Age and set a precedence that portends great danger to our democratic survival,” he said in a statement yesterday.

Ali Kano, who was a member of the 2015 PDP Presidential Campaign Council, said through the Kano LG polls, “the APC has shown that it can’t be trusted with anything be it governance or democracy, having failed woefully on all fronts in the last three years as they are now synonymous with mis-governance and democratic abuse.

“Democratic ethics are built upon the pillars of free choice without coercion, the right to hold contrary views without intimidation and to uphold the rule of law without sentiment,” the 2019 aspirant for the Dawakin Kudu/Warawa Federal Constituency, said.

Mahmud Hassan, one of the accused persons standing trial over unlawful importation of 661 pump action guns into the country, last year December, told a Federal High Court that he paid N1m to officials of Department of State Security (DSS) and other security agencies to take the guns out of Apapa Port.

Hassan, a retired Assistant Comptroller of Customs, stated this in a recorded video during his interrogation by the men of the DSS.

The video recorded on March 27, 2017, between the hours of 2 p. m. and 2.45 p.m., was tendered by an operative of DSS, Jaiye Emmanuel, during a trial-within-trial yesterday.

“I gave N1m to facilitate the moving of the container out of port, but it is not because of the guns,” he said in the video.

When asked how the N1m was shared, he said: “The examiners were given N200, 000, C.I.O. N100, 000, Enforcement N200, 000, police, SSS, between N20, 000, N25, 000, and N30, 000, the two gates N200, 000, Exit gate N20, 000, and final gate N50, 000”.

Hassan also told the investigators in the video that he first agreed with the importer of the guns for N3.8 million, when he was first told that the consignments were steel door, but raised the cost of clearing the consignment to N4 million, when he was told that the consignment included 661 pump action guns.

The Nigeria Customs Service had on June 14, 2017, arraigned Mahmud Hassan and Salisu Abdulahi Danjuma, alongside Oscar Orkafor, Donatus Ezebunwa Achinulo and Matthew Okoye, before Justice Ayotunde Faji’s court, on charge bordering on illegal importation of fire arms, conspiracy, forgery and altering of documents, offering of graft to government officials and importation of prohibited goods.
