PoliticsWhy They Plotted To Associate Me With A Dying PDP — Obasanjo by Anasko(op): 4:38pm On Aug 06, 2016
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on
Saturday denied media reports suggesting
he attended an event convened by his
former party, the Peoples Democratic Party.
in Abuja.
In a text message he personally sent to
PREMIUM TIMES on Saturday morning, Mr.
Obasanjo said the reports were a ploy by
their masterminds to score “cheap political
gains”.
He also said the reports were manufactured
to embarrass or annoy him.
He said he was at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua
Centre as guest of Senator Abdullahi Adamu,
the Senate Committee Chairman on
Agriculture, when some PDP leaders
stormed the venue to great him.
“Chief Obasanjo’s resignation from party
politics is final,” the statement said.
PREMIUM TIMES’ correspondent in Ogun
State also quoted the former president as
saying, “Those who know me, know that I
have publicly announced my quitting
partisan politics and those who will believe
the purported story will believe anybody who
tells him that his or her mother is not a
woman.
“If I quit a party when it was alive and
seemingly united, how could I go back to a
now divided, factionalized party grasping for
breath?”
Later on Saturday afternoon, Mr. Obasanjo’s
office issued a more detailed statement
saying, “The attention of the former
President, His Excellency, Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo has been brought to the
photonews story, which has gone viral on
the social media on Friday, August 5, 2016
of his purported being “spotted” at a
Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) event at the
Shehu Musa Yar’adua Centre, Abuja’,the
statement reads. ’While ordinarily his first reaction to the
news was that those behind it targeted to
get him annoyed and embarrassed him, his
conclusion was that he has told the world
that he has quit partisan politics and that is
final. Anybody hoping to drag him back will
fail like any man feeding mice to a dead
cat’,the statement added.
“To clear the minds of doubting Thomas’s
and those behind the orchestrated news in
circulation and particularly those who had
been calling to ascertain what actually
happened at the Shehu Musa Yar’adua
centre. On the invitation of the Commodities
Association Stakeholders, His Excellency,
was invited to the “Zero Hunger Nigeria”
event at the Centre’, the statement said.
“He arrived at about 10.00am and
immediately moved to the meeting. The
meeting commenced but few minutes into
the session, his attention was drawn to the
presence of some people walking up to
where he was seated.
“At closer glance, he recognized them to be
politicians and they exchanged pleasantries,
saying they came to greet him and they
walked out again from the meeting. The
former President cracked joke with them
calling them “invaders and gate crashers”.
The statement said the programme ended
and immediately Mr. Obasanjo and his
entourage headed back to Lagos.
He said he was barely hours in Lagos when
he started receiving calls from far and near
wanting to find out about his presence at a
political party programme in Abuja.
The statement added, “The photo news in
circulation, which claimed that he was
spotted at a political party event is therefore
mischievous, as a responsible journalist
ought to have gone further to ascertain his
actual destination in among the number of
venues at the centre and not taking
photograph of his alighting from his vehicle
to read another meaning. Shocking also to
note that the picture was actually taken
while on his way out of the Centre after the
programme he had attended had finished”.
“This is the height of irresponsible
journalism, which the former President is
calling for its investigation and sanction on
anybody involved in order to serve as
deterrent to others who may want to be
used either by omission or commission to
misinform the public on such sensitive
issue.”
There were reports on Friday (not in
PREMIUM TIMES) that Mr. Obasanjo was
sighted at the Yar’Adua centre in Abuja, the
same venue used by the leadership of the
PDP to inaugurate its national convention
committees.
It later turned out that the former president
was at the venue for an entirely different
engagement.

PoliticsBishop Arrested In Warri For Sponsoring Avengers by Anasko(op): 2:17pm On Jul 20, 2016
Detectives from the Delta State Police Command have arrested a bishop of a new generation church in Warri for allegedly sponsoring the militant group, the Niger Delta Avengers.
It was gathered that the bishop, (name withheld), a native of Ogbinbiri community of Egbema (Ijaw) Kingdom in the Warri North Council Area of the state, is the presiding bishop of the New Salvation Zion Church of Christ at Igbodu area of the city.

Punch reports that the church leader was invited for questioning following two petitions alleging that he was financing the militant group.


The interrogation was conducted at the Warri Area Command of the Delta State Police Command.

The man of God was quizzed from 8am to about 8pm over the weekend before he was allowed to go and ordered to report the following day for further questioning.

It was gathered that the petitions also alleged that the cleric was harbouring weapons both in his house and in the church.

The situation led to the search of the Ijaw clergy man’s residence at Bendel Estate in Effurun, Uvwie Council Area of the state, and his church building in Igbodu area of Warri.


It was further gathered that the IPO in charge of the case led policemen, including a team of Explosives Ordinance Detectives, to comb the bishop’s house but nothing was found at both places.

Meanwhile, the spokesperson for the state police command, SP Celestina Kalu, claimed not to be aware of the development.

PoliticsBuhari’s Corruption War Not Politically- Motivated – Makarfi by Anasko(op): 10:23pm On Jul 19, 2016
The chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party’s national caretaker committee, Ahmed Makarfi, has called for institutional reforms to shield security votes from abuse.
Mr. Makarfi, a former governor of Kaduna State, gave the advice in an interview with journalists on Tuesday in Kaduna.
He said it was important “to set up a machinery for an institutional reform on how security votes are managed”.
“This affects not only the federal government, because if you come down to the states, you are going to find similar happenings,” he said.
“Even local government chairmen have security votes and you are going to find that their expenditure follows similar pattern.”
Mr. Makarfi also spoke on the corruption war embarked by the Federal Government, saying that the war was not politically-motivated.
He however cautioned against targeting the wrong people so as not to derail the anti-corruption war.
According to him, the government and security agencies have the right to invite people to explain issues that might arise in the course of investigation “whether you are in PDP or not, whether you are a
politician or not.”
“If I’m to be fair, I will not say it is politics,” Mr. Makarfi said. “If you are invited purely on the issue of campaign funds, anybody can be invited to explain, it depends on the essence of the report.”
Mr. Makarfi said in doing so, the government should avoid targeting “middlemen” and concentrate on “those who know the source of the money being investigated”.
The former governor said the government should investigate and prosecute those who approved and released public funds illegally.
The PDP national chairman also warned against investigating funds donated to political parties for campaigns, insisting that if the government wanted to do so, it must investigate all donations.
“In all these issues, you have to be careful to be able to find out for what purpose the funds were meant for, because sometimes, they may not be purely for political reasons.
“You have to get the facts right, because under Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd) for instance, we had contracts and money for politics.
“If you are going to look deeply, definitely religious leaders, traditional rulers and other national figures must have gotten some share too,” he said.

PoliticsSharia Council Condemns Attack On Christian Man For Not Fasting by Anasko(op): 6:40pm On Jun 12, 2016
The Supreme Council for Sharia in Nigeria,
Kaduna State Chapter, on Sunday declared
that the attack on one Francis Emmanuel for
eating during the Ramadan was not Islamic.
The Chairman of the council, Yusuf
Rigachikun, stated this when he led other
members of the council to St. Gerard’s
Catholic Hospital, Kaduna, where the victim
is currently recuperating.
The News Agency of Nigeria recalls that
Emmanuel, a carpenter, was attacked with
knives and other dangerous weapons by
unknown persons on Tuesday in Kakuri,
Kaduna, for eating during the fasting period.
Represented by Tukur Abdussalal, a member
of the council, Mr. Rigachikun said that the
council was “upset” after receiving the news
of the ugly incident and decided to visit and
console the victim.
“We are deeply sorry that this has happened.
It is not Islamic and we condemn it.
“We received the news with disbelief and
decided as a council to come and console
you and share in your pains,” he told
Emmanuel.
He pointed out that that as a Christian, the
victim had nothing to do with Islamic
practices, adding that there was no basis for
the attack.
“Even if it was a Muslim that decided to eat
during Ramadan, no one has the right to
attack him. The best any one can do is to
sue such person to Sharia Court for
appropriate action.
“In fact, Islam did not forbid eating during
Ramadan in the first place to have
warranted such ugly incident.
“Whatever any Muslim decided to do, fasting
or no fasting, is for himself,” Mr. Rigachukun
explained.
Also speaking, the Secretary of the council,
Abdulrahman Hassan, appealed to members
of the public to desist from taking laws into
their hands.
“The action of these people is not Islamic
and therefore unacceptable in Islam; even
Prophet Mohammed warned that there is no
compulsion in Islam,” Mr. Hassan said.
The council presented a cash donation of
N100,000 as assistance to the victim and
wished him quick recovery.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the
family, Paul Emmanuel, elder brother of the
victim, thanked the council for the gesture.
“Acts of kindness and affection like this are
what we need to promote peaceful
coexistence,” he said.
Governor Nasir El-Rufai on Wednesday
visited Mr. Emmanuel and directed the
police to fish out the perpetrators of the
attack.
He warned that government would not
tolerate religious violence and criminality.

Meanwhile, the official exchange rate remained at N197 to a dollar at the apex bank window. Traders at the market told NAN that the market got a boost due to the availability of the greenback for trading.

PoliticsWe Want Our Daughters Back Even With 10 Children – Chibok Girls’ Parents by Anasko(op): 12:06pm On May 21, 2016
Parents of abducted Chibok school girls
have disclosed that they will be happy to be
reunited with their abducted children even if
they will come back with ten children.
The position of the parents came on the
heels of the return of one of the abducted
Chibok school girls alongside a child she
bore for a Boko Haram member.
Speaking to LEADERSHIP Weekend in
Mbalala, Chibok local government area,
father of abducted Saratu Dauda, Dauda
Yama called on the Federal Government to
redouble efforts in rescuing the other
abducted girls noting that the arrival of
Amina Ali Nkeki has inspired in them a
renewed hope that their daughters are still
alive.
When asked what his reaction will be if his
abducted daughter turned out with a child
like Amina Ali, he responded that even if his
daughter turned out with ten children, he will
all accept them in good faith.
“I don’t care if my daughter come to us with
10 children, as children are a gift from God.
But my primary desire is to get reunited with
my daughter,” he said.
He noted that since his daughter was
abducted by Boko Haram insurgents, life has
never been the same for his family as they
were forced to live in shock and trauma
since then.
In a similar vein, the mother of Saratu
Dauda, Hannatu Dauda called on Mr
President to redouble effort in rescuing their
abducted daughter saying that since one of
them has been rescued all of them could be
rescued.
When asked whether she will allow her
daughter to go back to school if she per
adventure she was freed, Hannatu Dauda
said “ I will support my daughter to attain
the highest level of education.
“As a person, lack of education has afflicted
my life in a negative way as it has stymied
my development and progress in life and for
that reason I will support my children to
attain the highest level of education,” she
said.
Similarly speaking, the father of Palmata
Musa, Musa Nkeki whose daughter was
among the over 200 girls abducted
expressed his elation with the coming home
of Amina Ali noting that with her rescue, “we
are hopeful that our daughters will soon be
at home.”
