@op, its NCC not NSS. Sincerely, NCC Need to do smtin urgently to stop this.

Nawa o,

THE lingering disunity among Igbo political
leaders, which also played out during the
last election of the umbrella socio-cultural
body, Ohaneze Ndigbo, is fast giving way to
apathy towards the region’s common
activities, with the poor turnout at Sunday’s
yearly Igbo Day, raising further concerns.
Apart from the Minister of Power, Prof.
Chinedu Nebo, who represented President
Goodluck Jonathan, governors, political and
religious leaders from the zone failed to
attend the much-publicised annual event
held at the Okpara Square in Enugu
yesterday.
This is coming as President Jonathan has
assured of his government’s determination
to end the alleged marginalisation of Ndigbo
in the scheme of things in the country.
In his speech, Jonathan thanked Ndigbo for
their support and promised not to abandon
the region. He noted that signs of ending
Igbo marginalisation were already becoming
visible in terms of federal projects ongoing
in the zone.
Nevertheless, the host governor, Sullivan
Chime of Enugu State, was represented by
his Commissioner for Culture and Tourism,
Chief Joe Mmamel, while several seats at the
popular stand remained empty throughout
the event.
Investigations linked the low turnout to the
leadership crisis that rocked Ohaneze soon
after the election that threw up the
incumbent administration of Chief Gary
Igariwey in January this year.
A source hinted that Ebonyi State Governor,
Martin Elechi, who allegedly felt slighted by
Chief Gary Igariwey’s emergence, had since
pulled out of all Ohaneze activities pending
the conduct of a new election.
Meanwhile, the President General of
Ohaneze Ndigbo,
Igariwey has said that Ndigbo would realise
their pursuit of the Presidency after Jonathan
had served out his tenure either in 2015 or
2019, just as he urged Ndigbo to “think
home.”
He called on Igbo indigenes to think of
recreating at home their achievements in
other regions in order to uplift Igboland. In
his speech entitled, “Think Home Ndigbo,”
Igariwey said: “As a people, we have burst
the rims of the space, Nigeria, and poured
out to all corners of the world. In all of these
places, we have left marks of success in all
fields.
“If we think home, we will put smiles on the
faces of our youth by providing employment.
Unemployment has been identified as one of
the major causes of security breaches in
Igboland.”
Igariwey warned that Ndigbo would not get
the Presidency by being timid but must
demonstrate some level of seriousness
towards the project. He lamented the
“deliberate act of cheating and intentional
exclusion of Ndigbo from a sense of justice
and equity.”
According to Igariwey, the structural
imbalance against Ndigbo in Nigeria has
remained disturbing, and “if these had
occurred in any other zones in this country,
there would have been neither peace nor
calm in the country until the injustice was
redressed.”
He added: “The security situation in the
country today has taken a big toll on our
people. We have taken casualties, we have
lost properties and it is ongoing. This is
unacceptable.
“We call on the Federal Government to
deploy all resources available to put this to
an end immediately and work out modalities
for compensating those who lost relations
and properties.”

It obvious that @op is MISCHIEVOUS. The origin of the news IS FAKE.

IGov. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State
has dissolved the State Executive Council
(SEC).
A statement issued on Monday in Ibadan bythe Director, Cabinet, Mr Dotun Omokemi,
said that the decision was taken after the
SEC meeting.
It said the dissolution was informed by the
need to inject fresh blood into the
administration in the quest to serve the state
better.The statement said that Ajimobi thanked the
commissioners and special advisers for their
contributions to the state’s development and
directed them to hand over to the Permanent
Secretaries in their various ministries. (NAN)

The plot by some members of the House of Representatives to impeach the Speaker, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal hit a dead end on Saturday as it became extremely difficult to muster the statutorily required two-third majority for Tambuwal's removal.

Reports about an impeachment plan against Tambuwal spread on Friday following an allegation by the Abubakar Baraje-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party that the Presidency had dangled a N2.5million carrot before lawmakers to remove Tambuwal.

The faction alleged that Tambuwal's sin against the Presidency was that he received the Baraje group during a visit to the National Assembly on Tuesday to brief members on why they pulled out of the main PDP led by  Dr.  Bamanga Tukur.

On Friday, some lawmakers in favour of the impeachment against Tambuwal, reportedly held a meeting in Abuja,  to strategise on the said plan.

SUNDAY PUNCH gathered that getting lawmakers together to draw the required number to impeach Tambuwal might, had become a Herculean task for the plotters.

The House is currently fragmented into about four groups, according to findings.

There is the New PDP group made up of 57 members officially, but which claims to have 108 lawmakers.

In the All Progressives Congress caucus, there are 137 members in the records of the House, while there are a few members in Accord Party and the All Progressives Grand Alliance members, who opted not to join APC.

The PDP as a block, before the crisis, had 208 members.

"Right now, there is confusion on the exact number of PDP members either in the New PDP or in the Old PDP.

"If the New PDP has 108 as they claim, then there are 100 members left in the Old PDP; if it is 57, the membership of the New PDP is less," one of the lawmakersconfided in Sunday PUNCH in Abuja.

It was also gathered that not everybody in the Old PDP accepted the idea of moving against the Speaker.

Two influential members of the Old PDP told our correspondent that even though they were unhappy with the Speaker's decision to receive Baraje and the seven governors with "glee", impeachment was not on the table yet.

"Our interest is that we want a united House that can work for the good of the country.

"Let us continue to work in harmony like we have done in the last two years under the leadership of Tambuwal.

"The Speaker should not try to come under pressure to divide the House. We have told him this much," one of the sources stated.

Another member said, "Having met with the Speaker and made our minds known to him, it is hoped that he will stop playing politics with members."

The Deputy Minority Whip, Mr. Garba Dhatti, also told Sunday PUNCH that with over 137 members on the Speaker's side, there was no way any impeachment plot would succeed.

He said, "Impeaching the Speaker is not as simple as electing the Speaker. To elect the speaker, you need a simple majority, but to impeach him requires two-thirds majority.

"Two-thirds of 360 is 240. Where will they get that number from? No single group can impeach the Speaker, that is what we have to realise before we even start talking.

"So, if these people are fragmented, will they get the number? At best, they will only succeed in causing trouble in the House and no more. They don't have the number to remove anybody."

Further findings also indicated that the 57 members of the New PDP were working together with the All Progressives Congress to checkmate any move by those believed to be behind the plot.

"You will recall that the New PDP members moved to the Baraje camp with their governors.

"As long as the governors remain in that camp, all the members will remain there.

"Therefore, it is even difficult to contemplate buying any of them over to the camp of the divided Old PDP group," another lawmaker confided in Sunday PUNCH.

When contacted for comments, the spokesman of the House, Mr. Zakari Mohammed, said  impeaching Tambuwal might be the wish of some forces outside the National Assembly,  stating that the idea would only remain a dream.

"You don't impeach the Speaker outside the floor, you bring it up in the House.

"This House is united under the leadership of the Speaker; the House is not involved in this talk of impeachment.

"It may be the wish of some people outside, but for us as a House, we are focused on our legislative duties", Mohammed stated.

But, the Office of the Speaker in its reaction, described the impeachment plot as "speculation."

The Special Adviser to Tambuwal on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Imam Imam, said as far as Tambuwal was concerned, the impeachment talk was speculation.

"It is pure speculation.You know the Speaker does not react to speculations.That is our position and that is all we have to say," he added.

How much will it cost me to change my old Abuja plate number to New Lagos state plate number? Pls let me knw. Thanks

Its a thing of great concern to me in recent time as I carefully keep tabs on the recent trends of national issues as they unfold. I must confess at this juncture that as a nation many untold situations of crisis lie ahead of US if we refuse to give a befitting final burial to sentiments, nepotism, ethnicity and religious favouritism in the course of addressing issues of national concern. The most painful now is the way the nigerian youths make comments, so unguided, non futuristics, political driven, religiously confined and among others. For instance,the PDP crisis has shown how myopic the nigerian youths are, where is our sense of reasoning, if you agree with me, do you know that if the current old ASUU strike has received the so much attention and efforts directed towards proferring a solution to the PDP crisis,ASUU strike would have been a thing of the pass, all these politicians are not worth our precious time to start quibbling over their selfish and greed promoted crises, our pursuit should be that of facing the realities ahead that one day the nation will be great again, youths are said to be the leaders of tomorrow, our tomorrow is now, we are no longer kids, how old were those that started and led the struggle for our dear nation’s independence, the likes of Sir Herbert Maucaulay, Tafawa balewa, Nnamdi Azikwe etc were youths in their late 20s, let’s launch a serious campaign against these set of old cargoes called politicians in nigeria today who have refused to understand the fact that nigeria is not their family name that guarantees them to operate and direct the affairs of this nation in a family manner, nigerian youths, is time we save the future of our nation for the unborn generation, you may be wondering how can we do this, 2015 election is the tool we have…For the sacked ministers, guess they are the enemies of progress to GEJ’s admnistration, let’s see more events to come before we determine the true intention of the president behind the sack.

Prince Oyinlola, former National Secretary of the party was elected the Interim National Secretary of Alhaji Kawu Baraje led faction of the new PDP
last Saturday. Briefing newsmen in Osogbo at the end of PDP elders’ forum, the party claimed Oyinlola after he had voted at the Eagle’s Square “lied” to the state delegates that he was going to the toilet only for him to resurface where a parallel convention was held. Similarly, the party may have commenced the process of disciplining the former governor in line
with the constitution of the party. The party alleged that Oyinlola had erred and contravened its constitution by teaming up with other members of the party to form a parallel group.
The former Deputy National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Shuaib Oyedokun who briefed newsmen at the end of the meeting, said the party would ensure that the former Governor was disciplined for allegedly contravening the constitution of the party. Oyedokun who claimed that a crucial meeting of the party had been called in Oyinlola’s Local Government Area, Odo-Otin, noted that the former Governor did not consult with any of the delegates from the state at the convention before he took his decision.

You said it all!

It great that things ar turning around in PDP,but the new emmergence of new PDP is not the issue but the ideology that form it is it in good faith wit Nigerians in mind? I had the speach of the president yesterday and I
wept for the young and unborn Nigerians.
Within the first and second quarter of this
year Nigeria has generated 6.7trillions and the same government complain bitterly
that there is no fund in the system. The presidency only release little funds to MDAs he will use to mup cash for 2015 election. I believe the crisis in PDP is God
intervention in to Nigeria problems to get us a better leadership. I urge Nigerians to stay calm, watch and be prayerful.

SaharaReporters can authoritatively
report that the Nigerian Television
Authority (NTA), Nigeria’s public
television, this evening on its prime 9
p.m. news avoided reporting Saturday’s
historic crisis at the ongoing Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) Special
Convention in Abuja, thereby once again
taking sides with President Goodluck
Jonathan and the ruling party and
betraying the facts.

At the convention, the ruling party openly
and embarrassingly split in two, with
several governors and former Vice-
President Atiku Abubakar walking away
and immediately formalizing their own
faction. There were also fisticuffs among
delegates from Anambra State, but the
NTA, preferring politics to professionalism,
did not report that, either.

As monitored by SaharaReporters in New
York, NTA reported President Jonathan’s
address and of Vice President Namadi
Sambo. It also carried two slide stories of
Senate President David Mark and that of
Benue State governor, Mr. Gabriel
Suswan, after which the station continued
with its live broadcast of the votes cast in
Eagles Square, venue of the convention.
NTA is under the supervision of Mr.
Labaran Maku, Nigeria’s Minister of
Information, as well as a board appointed
by the president, which protect the PDP’s
government interests in the company.
The editorial staff, according to a source, has been mandated to report only pro-
Jonathan stories and turn down any
material offensive to him..
