APC lawmakers offered N150 million each to impeach Senator Saraki, Speaker Dogara


The immediate past Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All Progresives Congress (APC), Comrade Timi Frank, has accused the presidency and the leadership of the APC of a plot to induce its Senators, House of Representatives and State House of Assembly members with humongous cash to impeach the President of the Senate, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara.

Frank who raised the alarm in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, also listed Governors Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, Abdulfatah Ahmed and Samuel Ortom as having been marked for removal in the said plot.

He said while Saraki and the governors have been slated for removal for daring to defect from the APC to the opposition, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Dogara is to be impeached for fear he may soon dump the APC as well.

He described the ongoing plot to illegally dispense state funds to carry out the unconstitutional removal of duly elected public officials as the height of impunity and corruption that has been prevalent in the present administration since inception in May 2015.

Frank said: “From available information, the Presidency in collaboration with the leadership of the APC is about to dole out the sum of $400,000 (about N150million) each to APC Senators and House of Representatives members to impeach Saraki who has defected to the PDP and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Yakubu Dogara – who they fear may soon dump the party as well.

“They are also offering legislators in some State Houses of Assembly the sum of $150,000 (about N50million) each, to impeach their Governors that recently defected to the PDP.”

He said that the President has allegedly directed the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation to foot the bills to achieve the objective of removing the defectors from their present political positions.

“I have been reliably informed that after separate meetings with APC Senators and House of Representatives members, shortly before his U.K. trip, the President summoned the Group Managing Director (GMD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and after informing him that ‘APC lawmakers have a proposal’, he ‘directed the GMD to attend to their needs.’

“I want Nigerians and members of the international community to note that this ‘presidential order’ is coming at a period when State Governors have incessantly complained, during their monthly Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) meetings in Abuja, about unexplained shortfalls in remittances of crude oil sales to the Federation Account by the NNPC.

“From this curious directive, it is now clear to Nigerians and the world at large, that the amount accruing to the Federation Account from monthly crude oil sales is being deliberately and illegally deducted at source and set aside by the NNPC – on the orders of the presidency – to fund illegal operations like their present desperate bid to remove Saraki, Dogara and Governors that recently dumped the APC.


“I am not surprised about this unholy cash inducements to lawmakers to do a dirty job because the Presidency and the APC recently conducted a dressed rehearsal of an inducement heist in Ekiti State during the ‘see and buy votes saga’ with which they allegedly rigged the Ekiti Governorship election in favour of the APC,” he said.

He however warned the presidency and the APC to desist from their present plot to illegally remove Saraki, Dogara and affected Governors, it may lead to chaos and anarchy capable of truncating democracy in the country.

He said: “Let me warn the Presidency and the leadership of the APC to desist from their present desperate plot to bribe some Federal and State legislators so as to force the illegal removal of Saraki, Dogara and Governors that recently dumped the APC.

“Let me also urge APC lawmakers to be circumspect about this unholy transaction as they will be risking the wrath of Nigerians should they yield to the inducements and attempt the illegality for which they are now being primed with loads of cash.

“Is it not curious that this illegal cash bazaar is being clandestinely orchestrated by a government that has visited untold hardship on Nigerians in the last three years?” he queried.

He pleaded with the international community to call the President and the leadership of the APC to order and also to prevail on them to stop their plan to illegally use state funds to truncate the nation’s democracy.

“I also want Nigerians and members of the international community to jointly hold the presidency and the leadership of the APC responsible for any unintended consequences of their present action aimed at removing the leadership of the National Assembly and governors who recently switched allegiances from the APC to the opposition PDP,” Frank said.

He further urged the APC lawmakers to reject such “blood money” aimed at violating their consciences and lowering their integrity, while calling on Nigerians to be extra vigilant in order to frustrate the current efforts of the Presidency and the APC to instigate chaos and anarchy in the National Assembly and some State Houses of Assembly, capable of truncating democracy in Nigeria.

Nwa Nsukka you are always spewing rubbish. How can any sane person go for Ekweremmadu who's face corruption charges. The odds favors Peter Obi more than any other person from the SE.

Atiku or Tambuwal/Peter Obi ticket will be sack Buhari from Aso Rock.

senatordave1:
From what is on ground,tambuwal/makarfi/saraki will pick the ticket.vice will likely go to ekweremmadu.but buhari will win all of them easily,the easiest will be saraki.only kwankwaso and atiku can trouble buhari..

The Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, is set to publicly declare his exit from the All Progressives Congress (APC).


The former House of Reps Speaker will be returning to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The governor and his supporters are currently at the Government House hall where the announcement will be made.


The development is the climax of Tambuwal’s face-off with his political godfather and former Governor, Senator Aliyu Wamakko.

Informed sources had told DAILY POST that Tambuwal is eyeing the PDP presidential ticket.

On Tuesday, Kwara State Governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed left the APC.


Ahmed made the announcement Tuesday evening.

The Kwara Governor explained that his decision followed due consultations with the people and in response to calls by major stakeholder groups in the state.

Ahmed added that he defected to PDP, having realized that the All Progressives Congress (APC) can no longer serve as a platform for achieving the aspirations and expectations of his people.

His exit coincided with that of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki.

Saraki said: “I wish to inform Nigerians that, after extensive consultations, I have decided to take my leave of the All Progressives Congress (APC).”

CharliParker:
Most of this workers have not been working for over 2years but Rochas is paying them,the problem in IMO STATE is not Rochas but the workers, that's the problem Rochas wants to solve.

Did you listen to yourself?

obinnajr:
THE MORE YOU LOOK. GO TO MBAISE( COUNTRY 5) AND SEE ROAD, NO MIND ALL THOSE PICTURES NA LIE. GOVERNORS MATERNAL HOME IS MY VILLAGE BUT WE NEVER SEE NEPA LIGHT FOR 5YRS NOW BECAUSE OF ROAD DUALIZATION WHICH HAS NEVER BEEN COMPLETED..... ALL THESE PICS ARE ALL LIE LIE

Abagworo thought he can deceive anybody. The true and horrible condition of Owerri will always surface, nobody is deceived

coputa:
This man has been a fraud from time,but the east worships him,why,is it because he distribute clothes and baskets of rice to them.

Nobody worships him except some few disgruntled elements

Roaches is a disaster, he has ruined Imo state

Imo state is a poor state with very poor residents, so there there is no way land will be more than 2 to 3m in Owerri. I live in Owerri so I know.

abagworo please go and tell your PR employers to pay my parents their salary

My parents are yet to be paid since last year

PhockPhockMan:
APC has destroyed Imo state no doubt, I believe this thread is unnecessary.

I used to think you are sane now I know you are very insane. All these are they not Owerri Imo state? There is no picture posted here that is outside Imo state. Owerri is presently very dirty and chaotic, no thanks to Roaches. Nobody is bitter about Imo state because there is nothing to be bitter about in Imo state as a whole. Like phockphockman said you are the originator of all these. Owerri is a mess so there is nothing like beauty in that cesspit.

[s]

Abagworo:
1st of all 99% of pictures posted here by chino are from Onitsha. 2ndly I have no e-war with anybody. Posting fake pictures everywhere will not change the fact that Owerri is one of the most beautiful cities in Nigeria.

I am still yet to comprehend why Anambra people are bitter about Imo State and our Governor Okorocha. The beauty of Owerri is to the glory of all who appreciate good things.

[/s]

FannySwindler:
Excercise patience.

For how long? My parents have not been able to pay my school fees, if I start going after some men, you people will still blame me.

Why is there no attention towards roaches okorocha of Imo state as regards the salary arrears? Its time we start protesting for this. My parents have not been paid since last year in Imo state. What can we do right now?

Okay thank you for confirming what we have always known but the likes of abagworo will like to force down another thing to us.

Mod, please frontpage, we are suffering in Owerri, Imo state

Is it not the same owerri Imo state!

pdf90:
This is Aba you liar.

i am not sure. see the link, that is truly Owerri Imo state

Yungwizzzy:
Your parents

You can make your comment without involving my parents

ZeezaRapture:
stop dropping fake links.. Keep your mediocrity to your brain

Do you know that we are the ones suffering this in owerri? The place is owerri and protecting a failed gov

We have suffered in owerri

ZeezaRapture:
Wailing Wailer!!!

He (Rochas) is the best South-East governor still existing..

Prove me wrong with concrete reasons!



Z.R

He is the best media governor. He hasn't achieved anything for 4yrs despite the huge debt burden.

bewla:
am yet to c a state were all its road are tied

Its true but Owerri is a mess. Worse than even the much talked about Aba

ZeezaRapture:
Here i know you won't talk about the free education he is offering the people of Imo State..
From primary to secondary to TERTIARY!!!! University oo.. Ingrate!!

The same free education that has rended imo state the educationally in the SE

How can rochas borrow that much and entire imo state is still in a mess

ZeezaRapture:
Is it the Governor that will leave his office and come and be packing the dirts for them
The people living around that area are just lazy, dirty and untidy fellows..
Z.R

Who will pack it then?

Why then is Abagworo posting fake pics all over place? Owerri is a disgrace.

zendy:
This something a lot of younger people don't know. What is 'Imo state people'? Igbos that illiterate military men like Buhari named after the Imo river. What is Anambra state? Igbos that a military idiot named after the Anambra river. Even Nigeria is named after a river. This 'divide and rule' tactics really worked well for the Northerners. When get Biafra, one of the first things we shall do is abolish all the states and bring back regions. As for Okorocha, he should perish any thought of being president. I'm a proud Igbo man and Biafran, I don't care about Igbo presidency because I aspire for something better but if an Igbo should be president of Nigeria, it should not be Okorocha

abagworo will not be happy with you for telling him this hurtful truth.

It was also gathered that more girls are coming to the club almost on daily basis seeking to be registered as strippers. One of the requirements is that the girls must be 18 years and above.

This is what roaches has rendered imo state to because he has failed to attract investors to the state.
