The same way Abia state is sticking while the former and present governors living like Kings. At least Adam Oshiomole and Tinubu work for EDO and Lagos respectively. In the next 16days you people will deny Obaseki the way you do to Saraki, Fayose, Atiku,GEJ, etc

The Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs . Winifred Oyo -Ita , has said President Muhammadu Buhari is aware of the reinstatement of a former Chairman of the Pension Reforms Commission , Mallam Abdulrasheed Maina, into the civil service.
She however said she warned the President against it .

Oyo - Ita said that her warning was based on the implications such reinstatement would have on the anti - corruption war of the Federal Government .

The HoS stated this in her memo to the Chief of Staff to the President, Mr. Abba Kyari .
The memo , with reference number HSCSF/ HCSF/ LU/ COR/FCSC/ 750 / T, was dated October 23, 2017 .

The memo , titled , “ Re : Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina, ” was received in the office of the Chief of Staff to the President on October 23.

A copy of the memo was sighted by our correspondent in Abuja on Monday .

The President had directed the HoS to investigate the circumstances that surrounded the return of Maina to the civil service.

He gave the directive following the public outcry that trailed Maina’ s reinstatement.

Maina, whose whereabouts is still unknown , has been accused of embezzling pensioners ’ funds running into billions of naira and is currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Explaining further , the HoS said she met the President after the Federal Executive Council meeting of Wednesday, October 11 , where she verbally warned Buhari against bringing Maina back to the service.

She , however , did not say what the response of the President was after briefing him .

Oyo - Ita said , “ Please, note that the OHCSF was never in agreement with the reinstatement and consequently never conveyed the approval of the FCPC to Mr. A. A. Maina, nor approved his posting to the Ministry of Interior or any other MDA

“ Rather, I sought audience with His Excellency , Mr. President on Wednesday, 11th October , 2017 after the FEC meeting where I briefed His Excellency verbally on the wide - ranging implications of the reinstatement of Mr. A . A . Maina, especially the damaging impact on the anti - corruption stance of this administration . ”

The letter partly read, “ Further to your letter Ref . SH/COS /100 /A/ 1570 dated 23 rd October , 2017 on the above subject matter, I write to inform you of the circumstances leading to the irregular recall of Mr. Abdulrasheed Abdullahi Maina.

“ I wrote to place on record the following facts as it permits to Mr. A . A. Maina who was dismissed from service on 21st February , 2013.

“ The move to recall Mr. A. A . Maina was at the instance of a series of letters from the Attorney General of the Federation to the Federal Civil Service Commission requesting the commission to give consequential effect to the judgement that voided the warrant of arrest issued against Mr. A . A . Maina which formed the basis for the query and his eventual dismissal.

“ The letters herewith attached as Annexes I- III are:
(a ) Ref . HAGF /FFCSC /2017 /VOL . 1 / 1 dated 19 th January 2017 ,
(b) Ref . HAGF /FFCSC /2017 /VOL . 1 / 2 dated 21 st February 2017 ; and
(c )Ref . HAGF /FFCSC /2017 /VOL . 1 / 1 dated 27 th April 2017.

“ The FCSC thereafter requested that the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation should advise the Permanent Secretary , Ministry of Interior to consider the AGF ’ s letter and make appropriate recommendations to the commission and this was so communicated to the Ministry of Interior .

“ The Ministry of Interior took the matter to the Senior Staff Committee of the ministry and recommended the reinstatement of Mr. A . A . Maina into the service as Deputy Director .
“ The OHCSF forwarded the recommendation to the FCSC which has the constitutional responsibility for appointments, promotion and discipline for further action.

“ The FCSC in consideration of the letter from the AGF and the recommendations of the SSC of the Ministry of Interior consequently approved and conveyed the reinstatement of Mr. A. A . Maina with effect from 21 st February , 2013 vide letter herewith attached as Annex IV.

“( vi) The letter of reinstatement , as communicated to HCSF Ref . FC. 4029 . 82/ Vol. III /179 dated 18 th September , 2017 attached herewith as Annex IV , ostensibly also copied the Ministry of Interior which is the one erroneously used to document Mr. A. A. Maina on a claim that he has resumed work since 28 th September , 2017 . The Ministry of Interior informed the OHCSF of this development vide letter Ref . MI / 1436 /II/ 24 dated 16th October , 2017 from Ministry of Interior stating that Mr. A. A . Maina has resumed with effect from 28th September , 2017 is attached as Annex V .

“ Please note that the OHCSF was never in agreement with the reinstatement and consequently never conveyed the approval of the FCSC to Mr. A. A. Maina nor approved his posting to the Ministry of Interior or any other MDA .

Rather, I sought audience with His Excellency , Mr. President on Wednesday, 11th October , 2017 after the FEC meeting where I briefed His Excellency verbally on the wide - ranging implications of the reinstatement of Mr. A . A . Maina, especially the damaging impact on the anti - corruption stance of this administration .

“ However , I have requested the Permanent Secretary , Ministry of Interior , to provide any documentary evidence to support the claim of reinstatement and posting of Mr. A. A . Maina by OHCSF , since after his dismissal.

“ The letter to the Permanent Secretary , Ministry of Interior is attached as Annex VI . The foregoing is accordingly submitted for your information and further consideration .
“ Please accept the assurances of my best regards. ”

Ex-Minister Fani-Kayode dumps PDP, joins APC
May 27, 2013

A former Minister of Aviation, Femi Fani-Kayode, has just announced his defection from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party to the yet-to-be-registered All Progressives Congress.

In a post on his Facebook post, Mr. Fani-Kayode said he took the decision after he met with Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi earlier today.

“I had a meeting with Gov. Kayode Fayemi afterwards and I have just publicly and formally declared for the APC,” the former minister said. “For me this is a great and historic day. Goodbye forever PDP.”

Maxcollins042:
How many Nollywood movies has she featured?

Laycon is clearly a beta male and females detest beta males and treat them like the trash that they are. While he subserviently worshiped the ground she walked on, Erica went for Kiddwaya, an alpha male who won't degrade himself for the sake of warming his way into her heart.

Even Erica knows the bloke is exaggerating the A-list Nollywood stuff just to endear himself to her. The more Laycon tries to paint Erica in an imaginary light the more he distances himself from actualizing his pipedream of having her all to himself.

Tuehhhhh!

Yoruba girls does worst, we all saw a yoruba girl was doing it inside toilet.
We've not forgotten Mrs. Toilet

ledamaster:
Samklef said his friend at Multichoice told him there is a video of Kidd smashing Erica for 2 straight hours in the HoH and released in her mouth. They were too embaraced for her by her conduct that they refused to show it, also F.G Can ban the show. I am not a laycon fan, but lay lay is a great guy. He would never allow her disgrace her family, even if she begged him for sex, he was even trying to stop her staying with Kidd when she was drunk. That kidd doesnt value or respect her. He is even trying to smash Nengi while sleeping with Erica. Fear women, ever since Kidd bragged abt private jets and mansions in London, Erica and Nengi lost their senses. I laugh when i see women rooting for that kiddwaya cos of his fathers money. That guy is there to mess women up. Thank ozo didnt allow him, he would hav also screwed nengi in that toilet.

I'm not surprised, she's a typical Nigerian girl. I've met plenty of her types, thank God I japa.

Tell your father to contest for president so that you can enjoy what Yusuf is enjoying. let me tell you, had it been you are the president of this country maybe your children will have their private jet. Tell me any president in this world that his only son cannot afford a power bike.
Even a common Governor child in Abia is driving a car of 600 million while Abia state is stinky.
Mind you, Buhari was a general in the army and also Head of State of this country.

Miracle1991:
you believe what oshiomole said in 2019 but you refused to believe what he is saying now. Obaseki stole 2million dollar send his commissioner of youth and sports to deposit in France unfortunately for him he was napped by France authority. Are you telling us to still trust him the way we trusted him in 2016?

Sad. Another one who has chosen to flee instead of fight.
Another Ivy league educated scholar who could change Nigeria for the better has decided to switch sides.
This is very sad, she will be remembered as a loser
She gave up because she lacks foresight

Me and my household will never flee or beg the white man for visa, greencard or citizenship. We will continue to fight and do all we can for the betterment of this country.

NOTICE BEFORE YOU MISQUOTE ME:

Please be a gentleman or lady in your response to my statement(s). I may become what you are to me.

MY COMMENT.

There is a portion of the Bible (I can't remember exactly) that Preach to the poor and he shall become rich.
Also, '' Let the poor say I am Rich'' and work hard to make it happen. There is pure Joy in working out your destiny, by faith ( with positive expectations).

I need to point out that these socalled very rich Men of God, were seriously poor hitherto but followed what Jesus said in Mathew 6:33:

" Matt.6.33 - But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
and today they are rich and getting richer, and even blessings other people through their Evangelisms and support to other ministries and Evangelists.

Well, there is no way a doctor will understand what a Barrister does fully well until he attempts to become one, there is definitely no way an European will understand a black African lifestyle until he comes to live with him/her, therefore those criticizing the rich MOGs may not be entirely wrong in their assessments but NEED TO LIVE AND FOLLOW THE BIBLE to understand why some do what they do.
Moreso, who are my to judge another, when my life is not without sins?

You need to respect other peoples religious beliefs and inclinations, so others would respect yours.
You need to stay on your lane, and allow other people to travel on theirs.

FINALLY, I do not personally see it good for any Man of God to appropriate Church offerings/gifts and etc to himself. I do not support MOG appropriating or personalizing their Ministries AS THEIR OWN OR FOR THEIR KIDS/FAMILY. But I support the decentralization of Ministries to be governed by other loyal members. I support Church to be sincerely owned by the church NOT BY THE MINISTER. Because Paul planted several Churches but NEVER OWNED OR NAMED ANY CHURCH. He will stay a while and teach them the truth then leave to plant other churches, and those he blessed gather gifts for him to go with.

However, God who owns the spiritual church WILL JUDGE ALL NOT ME. I am only to follow His dictate LOOKING UNTO JESUS, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF MY FAITH THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Shalom!

You know how hopeless and clueless you sound so you safely kept your idea in bitmap form. Nice tonknow.

flyingpig:
Deal with the monster you created and stop throwing blames. This country will never develop if presidential victory lies in the hands of uneducated North. Spits. When we all warned you about Buhari in 2015 and 2019 you called us useless names, you never see anything for Buhari hand. Three more years of anguish ans tears lay ahead

Arrewa:
Buhari is not getting it right in the area of economy.
Here in the north his popularity and Prestige is gradually diminishing.
APC must begin to work....
2023 is around the corner!

truthfulparrot:
Jesus entered Jerusalem riding a donkey. In his days, it was the poor that use donkeys as means of transportation while the rich used horses and chariots.

It is rather sad that most Nigerians pastors are materialistics and do not follow the footsteps of Jesus. I don't need the help of any pastor to serve my God. I would rather give money to the poor and less privileged than pay tithes to these Pharisees called pastors.

CodeTemplar:
Did Jesus have a treasurer or not?
Did he wear an expensive coat or not?
Did he have his needs met or not?

The issue of flamboyance with clergyman is one clearly created by bitter elements to persecute them and the kingdom of God. There is clear line between flamboyance and need. You cannot confuse people cheaply by ambiguous claims here.

Kingspin:
If you are not a member of a church or mosque or shrine be where you are.
Whatever you believe on is own god. Every human has a form of belief. No argument.
So leave others to their own believe.
As I said before the Nigerian government is the biggest scam. Winner chapels run far better than them.
Weakening the church for jihad
Will not survive.

Eriokanmi:
Why not play the full video where oba talked oshiomohle's head up by calling him to order and asking him to eat a humble pie by behaving as a leader ? Why not also post here where he accused ize-iyamu and his party for arming thugs and planning to import thugs from another state to disrupt edo election? This part was even played last night on channels tv news at 10 so you wouldn'tsay I lied. What a biased comment you've made OP.

jchioma:

Bias reportage.
What did the Oba tell Oshioomole?
However, wise words from a king. I hope both parties will sheath their swords and rather engage in issue based campaign without acrimony. There's life after government.

Where is the 'human face' in governance?

Woke up with strength and vigour this morning and was up to face today with all hopes and aspirations but was sad & almost started crying after watching this video.

I've been an advocate of leaders been strong at all time with will power to carry out leadership responsibilities. And that emotional leaders don't go far but certainly not this way.

In leadership and governance, there's a place for 'Human face' no matter the circumstances. Widows to the best of my knowledge are integral part of our society and if we don't apply human face when dealing with them, am afraid we are far from getting there as a people.

Two wrongs indeed can never make things right and as such, can't fathom why the Governor of Edo State, Comrade Adams A. O. will treat this widow like this and even tell her to go and die when she's struggling to provide food for her family. I think it would've been far better to make her pay a fine for her wrong doing than this humiliation.

The agony of the poor in our society......

Obaseki is a useless arrogant fool, who was given a wife by Adam Oshiomole, made a Governor by the same Adam Oshiomole.
The ipobs that are hailing him now will disappear the moment he loose the election. If you are doubting my statement,pls ask GEJ, Saraki, Melaye, Atiku,Fayose, etc.

FLASHBACK: Oshiomhole once wanted building named after Obaseki for ‘selfless service’

Adams Oshiomhole, national chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), once said Godwin Obaseki, governor of Edo, worked for the state using his brain and creativity.

Oshiomhole, who praised the governor during the governorship campaign of 2016, said a building at the government house should be named after Obaseki for his selfless service.

Oshiomhole said while he was governor of Edo, Obaseki helped him build the economy team of the state with his network.

“I know my limit. He knows his limit. Godwin Obaseki has worked for seven and half years for the people of Edo state, using his brain, creativity, quietly, not making noise,” Oshiomhole said.

“He sits in the office of the economic team which he built using his network of friends inside the heart of government house without demanding one naira.

“A man like that who will not ask me to give him contracts, but will promise me, comrade, you just do the thinking, we will create the means to actualise your thoughts. And to his credit today, check the books of Edo state, we did not build new structures in government house with government money. That economic team office was built through Godwin’s network. Today, it remains a permanent asset of the state government.

“I want us to be calling that building Godwin Obaseki building. I don’t see your opponent Ize-Iyamu being able to say that. In 2007, check the records, Ize-Iyamu was hiding from EFCC. He didn’t not vote. How can somebody who didn’t vote claim that he made me.

“If you have to look at Godwin and his credentials and you look at a man whose only work, by his CV, was a student and rusticated for two years, he read law but he is not a barrister. That is his foundation. I never gave him government job. Lucky Igbinedion’s mother was reported to have slapped Ize-Iyamu for misleading her son. He tried it with me, but we kept him away. Nothing near government circle. No access to public funds.

“Look at the road to his house, in our books, was dual carriage way. They took the money, constructed the road to his house and stopped. Although we have liquidated the godfathers politically, the entire political family will be liquidated.”

If you have any problem talk to your God and government.
The biggest scam remains the government. Most corruption, thieves. The present government has borrowed more than any government.
They cause mass poverty, hold them responsible.
As a matter of fact, churches are run better than the Nigerian government.
Yet another RUGA/ water bill is loading.
