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.

Hello Auto guru, I noticed when ever I start my car and put on the AC, the dashboard will start vibrating. But as soon as I move the car the vibration will stop.

I also observed that when the car is in Reverse or Drive, the vibration begins again until the car start moving before the vibration stop.

I took the car to my Mechanic and told me I need to change the engine seat (front and back) which we changed. But the vibration still persit.

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..

@op, only Akinlade Abiodun dumped APC for LP because of his governorship ambition. The guy is from Yewa and he believe he can't get the govership ticket with the APC so he need to move. Other lawmaker you mention are PPA and PDP.

Always get your fact right!

Let see what will happen comes 2015.

I learnt this morning that the health workers
have called off their 6 days old strike
after 2 days negotiations with govt.
That is how it ought to be. Negotiation
is a give and take thing.
Please your source?


The issues are simple. ASUU had an
agreement with the federal government in
2009 which was not implemented. They
secured an MoU with the federal
government in 2010 through a strike. The
MoU died no sooner than it was birthed.
Now ASUU is up in arms demanding the
implementation of the 2009 accord. The
first reaction of the FG to this latest
agitation backed with a strike was to say,
‘no, we are not aware of any such
agreement since we lately came to
power’! But following this, it has been
instituted a series of ad hoc committees,
first, to search for the agreement that had
never left the dusty shelves of
bureaucracy and, second, to work out a
solution that was not found since 2009.
This entire macabre dance has persisted
because those ruling us may appear
gentle but have not allowed their gentle
actions to permeate their activities in
government. Or else, how can we explain
the drafting of politicians in the mould of
Gabriel Suswan, the governor of Benue
State, and Anyim Pius Anyim, the
Secretary to the Government of the
Federation (SGF), to chair sensitive
committees set up resolve the matter. But
how can a prophet who has not earned
honour at home seek to get honour
abroad? Don’t forget that medical
students of the Benue State University
have been organizing a series of protests
and sit-ins to persuade and/or force the
Suswan administration to cough out the
needed funds to provide the medical
equipment required by the Nigeria
Universities Commission (NUC) to accredit
the medical programme of the institution.
Anyim? How did he fare as Senate
President to have deserved the SSG
portfolio in this government and become
chair of a technical committee to proffer
needed and urgent remedy to our
decadent tertiary education sector?
Much as we urge the lecturers to continue
the struggle until their demands are met
to engender a progressive university
system in the country, they must be wary
of the use of strikes as a weapon in future.
Strikes in an education sector can be
likened to a double-edged which, apart
from forcing the authorities to act, also
stagnate, frustrate and demoralize
students. They paralyse the scholarly
ascent of scholars. Students are human
beings and therefore must not be treated
like industrial goods. Society cannot
afford to waste its material resources, but
a society is doomed which wastes the
time and energy of its youths,
represented by students.
It must be noted that the minister of
education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Rufa’i Ahmed
and the minister of state for education,
Nyesom Wike have not helped matters.
While Rufa’i Ahmed seems to be flowing
along praying that this strike will roll by
on its own accord, Wike is busy fighting
his benefactor just to land the Rivers
State PDP governorship slot for 2015.
Again, our World Bank genius and
minister of finance Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
would rather argue that the country is
broke and as such government cannot
meet the lecturers’ demands aimed at
fixing the university system. Her policies
have never been felt by the commoners in
Nigeria, despite the fact that she enjoys a
heroic status in governmental quarters.
She must realize that the developed
countries where she was groomed were
built up and managed by those who
enjoyed free and compulsory education
from the state.
When former regimes paid scant attention
to education, people said it was because
the presidents were no graduates, but
what about now that the president is a
PhD holder. One of the most unanimous
national facts is that the standard of
education has been on a continuous
plunge.
And how can government say it cannot
meet the demands of lecturers while its
officials daily mystify the public with their
ostentatious lifestyles. How on earth will a
country that is broke spend N1billion on
feeding at the presidential villa? Why will
a country that is broke continue to
maintain about 13 jets in her presidential
fleet?
Governor Suswam claimed that the issues
that led to the strike had been
substantially addressed with the release
of N30billion for immediate release to the
universities to enable them pay their staff
the earned allowance while another
N100billion would go to address the gross
deficit in critical infrastructure in the 61
federal and state universities.
What Suswan failed to give is a definite
timeline for the release of the funds. One
wonders if Suswan is not taking education
back to pre-2009 promises before the
agreement in question was signed. The
question is: When will Suswam’s
committee submit its spreadsheet of
projects to Mr. President? When will Mr.
President set up a committee to study the
spreadsheet and make recommendations?
When will the White Paper of the new
committee to be constituted by Mr.
President be approved by the Federal
Executive Council? When will Mr President
sign the amended White Paper and direct
the minister of finance who thinks the
government is broke to release the funds?
From the way governance is run here, I
think this is another journey to nowhere.
However, ASUU was quick to reject the
merry-go-round exercise, accusing
government. The ASUU has accused the
federal government of not being
genuinely committed to revitalizing public
universities through adequate funding
and that it was exhibiting a ‘take it or
leave it’ and ‘grab-the-crumbs or starve to
death’ mentality.
Again, in these uncertain times in our
educational history, students must ensure
that their desire to reach the heights of
their talents is not dampened by the
chicanery of visionless leaders. Even
though the doors to their classrooms have
temporarily been shut by the fight of
giants, they must daily withdraw into their
home sanctum, burn the midnight candle
and await the break of day. They must not
take the rude break in their academic
activities to mean a complete break in
their desire to attain lofty intellectual
heights. Readers are leaders, they say.
The federal government must also desist
from the paralysis of waiting for industrial
actions before redressing problems in the
system. The government must been seen
to proactively cater for the needs of
citizens and not the few in public service
and political positions. A situation where
government rushes money to meet the
needs of few individuals and institutions
in the system for self preservation can
only lead to unfathomable anarchy now
and in the long run.
It is germane to stress that students today
are asking for bread but successive
governments have given them stones.
They asked for fish but got serpents in
return. We must not fail to realize that
“stones” and “serpents” could be most
dangerous in idle hands.

I think there is always a
I think there is always a problem with the
ways aides of GEJ and his wife respond to
issues. The point here is that the deputy
governor was snubbed by Dame and one
expects them to simple respond "Yes or No"
but saying Amaechi and his wife has not
paid condolence visit to her should be left
for another day. I think the aides cause more
problems for these people than they can
imagine. The real enemies of GEJ and Dame
are their aides and not the opposition as
they are made to believe.

I wonder o

President Goodluck Jonathan’s wife, Patience Jonathan, has decried the failure of Governor Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi of Rivers State to pay her a condolence visit since her mother died in an automobile accident several weeks ago. In a statement released today in Abuja, Mrs. Jonathan all but declared Mr. Amaechi and his wife guilty of bad manners for refusing to express their sympathy over her mother’s death.

The First Lady’s statement was a reaction to reports that she had failed to recognize the presence of Rivers State Deputy Governor, Tele Ikuru, who was at the Port Harcourt International Airport to receive her when she visited the state on Sunday.

In a statement signed by the First Lady’s Director of Information, Ms. Ayo Adesugba, Mrs. Jonathan stated that, despite the refusal of the governor and his wife to pay her a condolence visit, she bore them no grudge.

Mrs. Jonathan’s press release noted that numerous personalities, including former presidents, traditional rulers and diplomats, had consoled her over the death of her mother, Mrs. Charity Oba. “However, [Governor Amaechi] and the wife from the State which the First Lady hails have not paid such a visit,” the statement added.
Mrs. Jonathan, who is originally from Rivers State, has been identified as the principal sponsor of a political group that has precipitated a political crisis in the state. In recent months, the state has come close several times to being ungovernable. The crisis culminated in a physical brawl between five members of the state assembly loyal to Mrs. Jonathan and the majority who back the governor. The brawl was captured on tape and went viral after different versions of it were posted on youtube.

Speaking recently with a group of pastors who paid her a visit, Mrs. Jonathan stated that Governor Amaechi was stubborn, but added that he was a son to her. She denied wishing the governor political or physical harm, adding that prayers were needed to resolve the crisis in the state.



OFFICE OF THE FIRST LADY, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

PRESS RELEASE

Leave Me Out of Rivers State Politics - First Lady
The attention of the First Lady, Dame Patience Jonathan, has been drawn to reports carried in some sections of the media alleging that top officials of the Rivers government, including the Deputy Governor Tele Ikuru who came to receive the First Lady, were shielded from Dame Jonathan on her arrival at Port Harcourt International Airport yesterday, (18/08/2013). Some of the media reports went to the extent of alleging that Dame Jonathan “snubbed” the Deputy Governor.

It is important to set the record straight in order to prevent the public from being misled. The First Lady arrived in Rivers State yesterday for a private visit, to make arrangements for the burial of her late mother with members of her extended family.

Customarily, the wife of the State Governor receives the First Lady whenever she visits any state. That is why the wife of Bayelsa State Governor traveled from Yenagoa to receive the First Lady. Ordinarily, one would have expected the same complement from the wife of the Rivers State Governor.

It is instructive to note that since the death of Mrs. Charity Oba, the mother of the First Lady, several groups and individuals from across the country have come to condole the First Family at the State House, Abuja. They include Executive State Governors and their wives from all the political divides; Nigeria’s former Presidents and Heads of State and their wives, captains of industry, female Ambassadors and High Commissioners of Nigeria, other members of the diplomatic corps, royal fathers and traditional leaders - the list is too numerous to call. However, the Governor and the wife from the State which the First Lady hails have not paid such a visit.

It should be clear to all that for quite some time now, the First Lady has refrained from commenting on issues relating to the politics of Rivers State. Dame Patience does not want her name to be used to heat up the polity. We therefore urge that the name of the First Lady be left out of the politics in Rivers State.

The First Lady, like any Nigerian, is free to visit the state of her birth. Dame Jonathan bears no grudge towards anyone as she is an individual who continues to tirelessly advocate for peace and harmony in Nigeria. We therefore reiterate that the First Lady’s name be left out of the politics in the State.

Ayo Adesugba (Mrs.)
Director (Information)

The Yoruba Council of Elders has unfolded  a plan to build a community centre in London, with the name Yoruba Village.

The president of the YCE UK, Bolaji Falase, who made this known at a recent press conference in Lagos, said the centre will help preserve the Yoruba culture and serve as a meeting point all Yoruba people in the Diaspora.

Falase added that London was chosen for the project because Nigeria was a colony of Britain.

He said, "All over the world, India has community centres, which they use to propagate their culture and traditions. That is also the reason we are planning to build the Yoruba Village in London. Apart from its economic importance, it is also a meeting point for all Yoruba in the Diaspora.

"The Yoruba language is diminishing. To remedy the situation, the facility will be a meeting point where we can teach our children our language, our culture and traditions, and also eat our food."

He said the estimated cost of the land for the Yoruba Village was £5m, while the construction of the centre, which will host a museum, library, offices, conference facilities, restaurant and supermarket, was estimated to cost £7m.

He said while they were working towards acquiring the land, the construction would be in stages, depending on availability of funds.

The President of the YCE, Gen. Adeyinka Adebayo (retd.), commended the UK chapter for its interest in the organisation and efforts towards actualising the project.

Adebayo added that the project would help the future generation of Yoruba people not to lose touch with their roots and culture.
