agbameta: I know this is another comedic silliness and clownish routine by the usual village graders, but equating this absurdity with positivity regarding our dirty and rotten airports sounds grossly rretarded.

[b]I rolled through the MMA a few days ago from the US with some friends and the shame and disappointment was palpable and all over the place. We saw the water bucket after getting off the plane on our way to the bargage area. The pilot asked us to remain seated for almost 30 minutes after landing because the gate wasn't lit, the whole area was just too dark for the pilot to engage and park the plane. The marshal showed up later with torchlight to lead the plane to the gate. The customs area was another mess with just a metal bench for you to sit your luggage on. Dangling electric fixtures and wires everywhere, bad electric bulbs, the whole airport was hot. [/b]The plane landed at 7:30 , but we didn't leave the airport till 11pm. The crowed and traffic outside was mad sick, no cordnation , no security just park anywhere and block traffic at will.

There's absolutely no point renovating that pile of shame and disgrace, they should just bulldoze that rubbish and start from scratch. Calling that absurdity international airport is like insulting the word international.

....... but I do understand the villagers and jesters praising this crooked and incompetent woman because their existence starts and ends with tribalism and ethnic worries ......
Did you enter the toilet? Any woman that pees in that bucket is guaranteed of toilet disease.

People pee on the floor. Seeing is believing.
PoliticsRe: Fake Boko-Haram Member Arrested In Enugu by baslone: 11:56am On Oct 25, 2013
SHOCKING CONFESSION OF AN EX BOKO HARAM WHO GOT CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY. ALLEGED IBB IS THE MAJOR SPONSOR OF BOKOHARAM.

Question: Who are you and where are you from?

Answer: My name is Sheik Sani Haliru. I am from Niger Republic, but my mother is from Bornu State of Nigeria and I grew up in Wulari, Maiduguri, (Northern Nigeria) where I was trained.

Q: Trained as what and under whose tutelage?

A: I was trained as an Almajiri, after four years, at the age of 14, I was sent to Kano City, Kano State where I was trained in the Sheik Abubakar Gummi School of Arabic studies.

Q: So you know Sheik Abubakar Gummi?

A: Yes, and I also know his children and obeyed all the teachings he laid down before he died.

Q: So who tutored you and who is your mentor?

A: Sheik Abubakar Gummi tutored me. My mentor was Osama bin Laden, and until my conversion from Islam to the Christian faith, my dreams and aspirations in life was to do more than Osama bin Laden did before he died on Sunday, May 1, 2011.

Q: You said that your mentor was Osama bin Laden. Is he still your mentor?

A: I am now a changed person. The Sheik Sani Haliru is now a new creature, old things have passed away because I now have Jesus Christ that I hated and persecuted for 44 years.

Q: Tell me about your past and how many countries of the World you have been to?

A: I cannot tell all about my past because it will take several days to tell my story and about my conversion experience to Christianity. I have been to eight countries.

Q: Can you please name them?

A: I have been to Sudan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Libya, Somalia, Egypt and of course to my own country Niger Republic.

Q: Where did you receive your training and as what?

A: I received my training in Libya and Pakistan as an Attack Strategist. I was trained along side with some highly placed Nigerians and other foreign Nationals who were marked (he showed me the proof of his mark with a sign) in the form of a sword in the hand to fight and kill for Allah.

Q: Can you give me some of the names of your colleagues with whom you received training in Libya and Pakistan?

A: They are scattered all over the country and we were not too many then.

Q: Just mention but a few names.

A: Ali Baba Nur, Asari Dokubo, Jasper Akinbo, Mohammed Yusuf, Salisu Maigari, Danlami Abubakar, Cletus Okar, Ali Qaqa, Maigari Haliru and Asabe Dantala to mention but a few.

Q: Which of the Asari’s do you mean?

A: The Niger Delta war king. He was a year ahead of me in Benghazi training camp in Libya.

Q: Who financed your training in Libya and Pakistan?

A: You will not believe me and only God will judge the Chief sponsor of terrorism in Nigeria whose name I will not mention because he is so powerful and even the president of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan, is so much afraid of the man.

Q: If you really know the Christ in you, why are you afraid to tell me the name of the man who sponsored you and the date or approximate period he sponsored you.

A: I am not afraid because he knows me and he cannot deny it if he sees me face to face.

Q: Then tell me, who is this powerful man?

A: The man is no other person than the man they call IBB now as I am talking to you, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida has more than 600 men and women Jihadists who are under his pay role. They are scattered all over the Country and he (IBB) can use them to destroy Nigeria.

Q: Did you say six hundred?

A: Yes 600 + IBB’s agents of destruction are in the Nigeria Army (NA), Nigeria Police Force (NPF), Navy, Air Force, Oil and Gas sectors, even in the finance home such as in top level positions of CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria) and other banks. You find them in politics, in the Senate, National Assembly, in the media both print and electronic and even in Aso Rock, Abuja (Nigeria’s capital).

Q: How do you mean by this statement “and even in the finance…??

A: Yes, I mean every word I say; even the Islamic bank champion was planted by IBB to help in Islamizing Nigeria.

Q: So how can you describe IBB?

A: IBB is a “green snake? in green grass. He is the main problem of Nigeria along with members of the Cabal.

Q: Have you forwarded any of these evidence(s) to Aso Rock or to SSS (State Security Services)?

A: I attempted to do so a few weeks ago and I was arrested and detained for two days because IBB’S men are so many in SSS (State Security Services) as well. After I was released by the grace of God, they (the Police) warned me never to blow up the polity or provoke violence and I should keep my so-called-born-again with me or else I will go to jail.

Q: So you were a key member and a registered jihadist hardliner.

A: Yes, I was.

Q: Under what group?

A: I was a Boko Haramist. But Boko Haram is just a cover name to give it a name. I have my identity as a founding member of the dreaded jama’aful Ahlul sunna wal Liddawati wal Jihad, aka Boko Haram.

Q: Apart from IBB, who are the other top sponsors of terrorism in this country?

A: They are many, but IBB is the major financier. He introduced the suicide bombing that started when he killed Dele Giwa. I have the names of six traditional rulers and seven present & ex-Governors as well as several top military and security officers who are co-sponsoring the so called Boko Haram. That apart, I have documented evidences to prove that General Mohammadu Buhari, Alhaji Abubaka Atiku and other top politicians and traditional rulers are some of the people behind Boko Haram. Very soon, nemesis will catch up with them.

Q: What if I use my influence to guarantee you safety, can you brief the press to expose IBB (General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida) with all these documents that I am seeing with you right now.

A: Only God can guarantee my safety. He did so on that fateful day when the SSS and police wanted to secretly kill me because of what I unveiled. I would have been a dead man by now if not for a man of God who came as an “Angel? to quietly free me. Right now, I am wanted dead or alive by IBB and his agents of destruction in high places. The SSS are busy hunting for me up & down and arresting and torturing innocent people because of me.

Q: What if I connect you to a man of God by the name of Brother Mike Ejiofor, who is a lawyer, a professional negotiator and a mediator who was the Director of SSS until October 2010?

A: I only wish to be connected to God.

Q: So how can you describe this country?

A: Nigeria is sifting under an Islamic barbaric bomb (IBB). Only God can rescue this nation because 75% of Christians are prayer less. Why? Because they are in their own comfort zone. They do not know what the Christians in Northern Nigeria are passing through and they ignorantly are thinking that the Allah of the Muslims is the same as the God of Christians in the Holy Bible who says: “Thou shalt not kill?.

Q: What does the Qur’an say about Islam being referred to as a religion of peace by numerous Muslim scholars?

A: Let me tell you in a very clear language that Islam is not a religion of peace, but it is of violence, of killers and fighters as already stated in their so called “Holy? Qur’an which I ignorantly followed all these years when I was spiritually blinded as a Muslim.

Q: Can you prove these statements from the Qur’an?

A: [Sani Haliru, who is now known as Solomon Haliru (Paul Haliru’s brother)] brought out two copies of the original Qur’an in the Arabic & English translation. He gave me one, and told me to open the book to Surah Al- baqarah chapter 2 vs 216. It says, “Holy fighting is ordained (prescribed) for all muslims, whether they like it or not, as far as it is good and approved by Allah through his prophet Mohammed.?

Q: Where is it in the Qur’an that killing is also permitted by Allah?

A: Look at Surah Al-baqarah chapter 2 vs 191 “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. An Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-Al-Haram (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.? Muslims are told to kill and fight in the cause of Allah.

Q: Does it mean that IBB and all these Muslim traditional rulers and Governors that are sponsoring Boko Haram to kill Christians and burn our churches in the North are not aware of the passage in the Qur’an that says there must not be compulsion in Islam as Mohammadu Buhari asserted in a widely publicized interview on Saturday, the 21st of April, 2011?

A: I have worked so closely with Mohammadu Buahri for five years, and I can prove it that General Buhari is the most notable outspoken jihadist hardliner in Nigeria who is also strategically sponsoring Boko Haram.

Q: General Buhari told a group of pressmen in April 2011 that there is no compulsion in Islam and it is a religion of peace. He quoted Surah Al-Baqarah Chapter 2:225. What can you say to that?

A: What I can say to that is General Buhari, like all other true Muslims, is a hypocrite who is shying away from the fact.

Q: How do you mean by saying that most Muslim millionaires and highly placed Muslims are “pretenders and shying away from the fact??

A: What I mean is that they (Muslims-both rich and poor) are told to use their position of wealth (or otherwise) to promote Islam or else they will face destruction from Allah.

Q: Where can you find this in the Qu’ran?

A: Open Surah Al-Baqarah Chapter 2:195, it is written here that you must use your wealth to champion Jihad of all kinds or else destruction is waiting for such a person on the last day.

“And spend in the Cause of Allah (i.e. Jihad of all kinds) and do not throw yourselves into destruction (by not spending your wealth in the Cause of Allah), and do good. Truly, Allah loves Al-Muhsinun (the good-doers).?

Q: Have you ever been detained or arrested?

A: Nobody could arrest me until the year 2009 soon after my immediate boss Mohammed Yusuf was killed. About 23 of us were arrested in one of our hideouts in Bauchi. But when Governor Isa Yagiuda heard about it, he immediately arranged for me to be free. Even before his official broadcast in 2010 that he was using his position as the executive Governor of Bauchi State (Northern Nigeria) to free 28 prisoners from Bauchi Central Prison, I was already a free man along with several of my colleagues.

Q: Now can you tell me some of the horrible crimes that you committed and how you got born again and became converted.

A: Old things have passed away and I don’t want to talk about the past, because like Apostle Paul said, we need to press forward in Christ Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

Q: Just mention a few to assist some of us who are making efforts to unravel the mystery of the menace called Boko Haram which you have renounced.

A: I took part in the Kaduna riot of 1992 and in several northern states of Nigeria, but the state I operated more from was Bornu (northern Nigeria) where I was the State Commander/Chief Strategist.

Q: So as Chief Attack Strategist, what crimes have or did you commit before you renounced the deadly sect?

A: In the early months of May 1986, I was among the 36 Jihadist hardliners, who went on a rampage to attack Christian students of the University of Sokoto (Sokoto State in northern Nigeria). In that same week, the Federal Government of Nigeria under the brutal leadership of IBB mobilized us and provided some military vans and Army uniforms which our men used and started killing innocent and defenseless Christians all over the Northern states. I and the son of the Emir of Kano, who is now a Christian by name Rev. Paul Ado Bayero, were among the Muslim fanatics who razed down the sculpture of Jesus at the University of Ibadan (Oyo State in western Nigeria).

The following year, March 5, 1987 to be very precise, the “Evil Genius? General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida secretly armed us through one of his close aids by the name of Captain Hassan Abubakar (now a Pastor with a fast growing church in Lagos). We went to go and kill some targeted Christians including Rev. Nuhu Kure (Throne room founder) after the destruction we committed at the College of Education in Kafanchan, Kaduna State (North Central Nigeria). And of recent, I was the leader of the team of soldiers of Allah that destroyed Church buildings and properties in Bornu State (northern Nigeria).

Q: Can you name some of the buildings and Churches you and your Boko Haramists destroyed?

A: There are many, but our main targets which we succeeded in destroying included: Goodnews & ECWA Church, Damboa Road, Maiduguri E.Y.N.L.C.C. Wulari, National Evangelical Mission Inc. Divisional Headquarters Wulari, Elijah Apostolic Christ Church, Oke Ayo Celestial Church of Christ, Deeper Life Bible Church, the Lord’s Chosen and six others in Railway Area and all over Wulari in Maiduguri, Borno State. Other church buildings we destroyed and looted include the Aposotic Church, COCIN Church, Evangelical Church/Mission Headquarters, Anglican Church, Baptist Church/Mission, Redeemed Christian Church of God, El-Shaddai Parish, Watchman Charismatic and several others.

Q: Where were the security officers when you were destroying all these church buildings and killing Christians?

A: Since 1985 when General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB) started using us to persecute Christians, the Nigerian Army has been an extension or shall I say an arm of the Muslims agenda to Islamize Nigeria. Wherever they go to attack Christians, the Muslims in the top military positions give the cover by providing the logistics. Since the day of Babangida (1985) Christians suffer violence. This is the time that we must attack them and take what belongs to us by force.

Q: You don’t seem to like IBB and you talk so much of his evil deeds. Are you the only one he used or is there more revelation we can investigate or ascertain further?

A: Babangida is the most wicked and heartless man I have ever seen or worked with. He used many Muslim fanatics (Most of who are now Christians) to commit a lot of atrocities. For example, he used Alhaji Sannusi Dasuki (now Solomon Dasuki), Alhaji Ahmed Ado Bayero (now Rev. Paul Ado Bayero), Alhaji Mohammed Usman (now Evangelist Blessed Usman), Alhaji Sani Jegga (now Isaac Jegga) to attack the following men of God: Late Papa Idahosa, Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke, Rev. Uma Ukpai, Rev. O. Ezekiel and other men of God. He used some of the people whose names mentioned above to burn down several million copies of the Holy Bible. Along with the late MKO Abiola, they both sponsored the sinking of three million copies of the Holy Bible into the high sea.

Q: With all these revelations, can’t IBB be arrested and charged to court?

A: Who will arrest him? Is it Goodluck or who? Even when we provided the proofs to them that IBB killed Dele Giwa and that he sponsored the burning and looting of the Jos main market (Terminus) and also planted the seed of the present crises in Plateau State in 1991, they refused to arrest him because he is very cunning in his evil ways. He leaves no trace of his evil deeds, but nemesis will soon catch up with him because the sardonic spirit in him will soon expire.

Q: In a simple language, how can you describe IBB?

A: Ibrahim Babangida is a wicked and heartless man. As a military officer he was very brutal and as a politician he is very selfish and tricky. He better repent and confess his numerous sins and wickedness before it will be too late.

Q: Can you prove to the readers that fighting and killing in the name of Allah is justified in the Holy Qur’an?

A: I can site more than 28 passages from the Holy Qur’an where fighting and killing is justified as approved in the cause and for the sake of Allah. Please turn to the Qur’an (it goes from the back to the front) and see the book Surah At-Taubah Chapter 9:29 “Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger (Muhammad), and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.? In this passage, every true Muslim(s) is specifically instructed to fight against four (4) groups of people especially the Jews and Christians.

Q: So what is the meaning of Jizyah and how was the name coined?

A: From the footnote as you can see in the Qur’an, Jizyah is a tax levied against the people of the scriptures (i.e. the Christians) who are under the Islamic government. Jizyah was coined out after the Jaiz bank that the Muslims are wanting to use to take over the financial world via Islamic Banking.

Q: Are you saying indirectly that Islam is not a religion of peace as most Muslims will want us to believe?

A: I am saying it directly not indirectly that Islam is a religion of violence It is a religion of force. More than 95% of Nigerian journalists and people of the world are ignorant of what the Qur’an teaches and/or says about Islam and violence.

Q: How do you mean?

A: Open the Qur’an to Surah Muhammad Chapter 47:4. In this very passage, Muslims are commanded by Allah to kill and smite the neck of anyone who does not accept the teaching of Islam, and according to the satanic verses they (Muslims) would be helping Allah by so doing.

I quote exactly as it is written in the Muslims Holy Qur’an: “So, when you meet (in fight-Jihad in Allah’s Cause) those who disbelieve, smite (their) necks till when you have killed and wounded many of them, then bind a bond firmly (on them, i.e. take them as captives). Thereafter (is the time) either for generosity (i.e. free from them without ransom), or ransom (according to what benefits Islam), until the war lays down its burden. Thus [you are ordered by Allah to continue in carrying out Jihad against the disbelievers till they embrace Islam and are saved from the punishment in the Hell-fire or at least come under your protection], but if it had been Allah’s Will, He Himself could certainly have punished them (without you). But (He lets you fight) in order to test some of you with others. But those who are killed in the Way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost.?

Q: So is that why all Muslims are indirectly supporting Boko Haram?

A: Yes, Boko Haram is just a name coined by satan to Islamize the world. That is why every true Muslim is directly and indirectly supporting Boko Haram.

Q: Can you explain further?

A: In Surah Al-Baqarah 2:195, the wealthy Muslims and all those in high position of authority such as IBB, Buhari, Atiku, Isa Yaguda, etc. are told to use their wealth and any position they find themselves in to promote Islam and the cause of jihad of all kinds or else they will face destruction from Allah.

Q: Is that how the suicide bombers come into the picture?

A: Yes,
PoliticsFRAUD: DSS Parades Fake Boko Haram Member In Enugu by baslone(op): 11:16am On Oct 25, 2013
Nothing wey eye no go see.

I am sure it is one of the many testimonies flying around NL!

ENUGU — THE De-partment of State Services, DSS, Enugu State Command, yesterday, paraded a 35-year-old man, Mr. Daniel Danboyi, who claimed to be a repentant member of Boko Haram sect, for allegedly extorting money from some churches under false pretence.

The suspect, who is also known as Shuaibu Shehu Rabiu, was said to have visited several churches in the country, telling fictitious story of how he was actively involved in the activities of the Boko Haram insurgents before he repented and became a Christian.

The State Director of DSS, Mr. Victor Duru, who paraded the suspect in Enugu, said that Danboyi, a native of Garshi District, KuraFalls, Barkin-Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State, “has been going about duping innocent Nigerians, using religion as his tool.”

According to him, the suspect was arrested at Mountain of Fire and MiraclesChurch, Zik Avenue, Enugu, in connection with Boko Haram activities

Duru said: “He has been going about with a false testimony, deceiving people, duping and exploiting people in the name of religion.

“He claims that he was a Boko Haram member, who has converted to Christianity.”


He added that Danboyi began the deceit in 2001 in a church at Abuja.

PoliticsRe: Stella Oduah's Answer To Query From The Presidency by baslone: 12:33pm On Oct 24, 2013
HolyHolla: Meanwhile, another story posted by Hope for Nigeria on FB confirms that
the 4 Limousines parked at NAMA compound belong to Overland as
claimed by NAMA Officials.
**Nigerian social media reported last week that they belong to aviation
minister.
The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) said on Wednesday
that the four limousines parked at the Total Radar Coverage of Nigeria
site at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport, Abuja, belonged to a non-scheduled
airline operator, Overland Airways.
A senior official of NAMA told our correspondent that the cars had nothing
to do with the airspace management agency.
The official, who pleaded not to be named because he was not authorised
to speak on the subject, said that the Ministry of Aviation was not the
owners of the luxury vehicles.
An online medium, Sahara Reporters, had reported on Monday that NAMA
purchased four Toyota Tundra and four stretch limousine vehicles for the
embattled aviation minister, Stella Oduah.
It said the vehicles were in addition to the two armoured cars purchased
for Oduah by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority at an allegedly inflated
cost of N255m, a development that had sparked public outrage.
But the source at the airspace agency said, “NAMA has nothing to do with
those vehicles. They are owned by a concessionaire who also is an owner
of a chartered airline. The cars are used for conveying VIPs by Overland
Airways. You may confirm from them.”
The NAMA official described the report as false, stressing that the cars
were used to transport passengers that patronised the carrier’s services.
The source said, “The cars are owned by a private operator who was given
concessions to move VIPs to different locations, and for emphasis this is
what is on ground. The cars are not owned by NAMA.
The spokesperson for NAMA, Mr. Supo Atobatele, in a statement had
described the reports that the agency owned the luxury vehicles as
“frivolous, malicious and mischievous.”
He said, “We hereby make it categorically clear to the unsuspecting public
that this evil story, as being promoted is patently false in its entirety and is
calculated to put the agencyand the office of the minister into disrepute.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the said Limousines belong to a
concessionaire who is running a VIP shuttle service for non-scheduled
operators.”
The emerging questions now are, 'Who owns Overland?' And 'Who
purchased the limos?' 'What is the stake of the Honourable Minister in the
concessioneering?'
Bro, you took this from the punch newspaper and edited this part below to suit your taste.

But an official of Overland, Mr. Monday Ukoha, said that he had no idea about the cars and who owned them.

“I don’t have that information and I don’t know about that,” he told our correspondent.

When asked who in the company could speak on the parked Limousines, Ukoha said, “I won’t know now. Let me call you back. The truth is that I don’t know about it and if I knew about it then I would have been able to direct you to the person that can give you the information you seek.”

PoliticsRe: APC To Boycott National Dialogue by baslone: 9:40am On Oct 23, 2013
APC

We want a sovereign national conference so that whatever is proffered as the
answer to the problems; whatever that is discussed on the table; whatever Nigerians
want will be implemented to the letter, not subjecting the outcome of the discussion
to any other committee like we had in the past.

The person to do that must be a courageous person. He will be in charge from day one.
He will not say ‘Go and talk. Whatever you discussed will be given to another committee.’
And at the end of the day, nothing will happen. We don’t want to be deceived again.


One, it is the timing. It is coming towards the 2015 general elections. If you go back
to history, right from the times of (former military dictator) Gen. Sani Abacha and (former President)
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, you will notice that the moment people think they have some problems,
they want a national conference and, at the end of the day, you will not see anything; nothing
will come out of it. We saw it during the time of Abacha; we saw it during the time of Obasanjo.

The Peoples Democratic Party is overwhelmed by the problems of Nigeria and it doesn’t
seem to have the solutions to them. The only way they have to divert attention from
that is convoke a national conference; pick the people they want and they will gather
again for one year and nothing will happen. It will just come and go like it happened
under Abacha and Obasanjo. Who are they deceiving? We have seen it before and we
are going to see it again. It is only those that are not following the trends of politics in
Nigeria that will agree with them.

I guess that makes every single video Director in Nigeria thief because i can compile you a list of videos on Nigerian TV by Acclaimed Nigerian Directors that fit that profile and that would make everybody a Thief is that what you are implying?’.

Music/RadioRe: Davido - Skelewu (directed By Moe Musa) by baslone: 9:34am On Oct 22, 2013
It was shot in the UK directed by budding D.O.P Mr Moe Musa. Davido and Mr Moe Musa should however be given the award for ‘creative crooks’ of the year as the concept of ‘Skelewu’ is a stolen creative concept.

Who remembers Pop duo LMFAO‘s 2011′s ‘Party rock anthem‘ video? Let’s refresh your memory; The video starts with RedFoo and SkyBlu waking up from a coma in the hospital, hitting the streets to notice the town has been deserted. Just when they get on the road, someone comes to warn them about a song that has caused a frenzy in the town, then a bunch of crazy dancers get close to them and start dancing, LMFAO later join the dance.

The above description just about sums up Davido’s ‘Skelewu‘ video too; Davido waking up from a coma, hitting the streets to be warned by a young man bla bla bla…

What was director Mr Moe Musa thinking? That there was no MTV or YouTube in Nigeria back in 2011? Not only should he be berated for this unacceptable creative plagiarism, he should be visited by LMFAO’s label Interscope Records with a lawsuit.

PoliticsJonathan Not Weak, Institutions Now Stronger — Saraki by baslone(op): 6:18pm On Oct 07, 2013
Senator Bukola Saraki (PDP, Kwara Central) is the immediate-past governor of the state. Now identifying with the Alhaji Kawu Baraje-led new PDP, he says, the Nigerian Senate deserves commendation for the discovery of the fuel subsidy discrepancies. Above all, he avers that those who think President Goodluck Jonathan is weak are wrong.

You appear to have identified with the new PDP; can you tell Nigerians your reasons for this as a former governor on the platform of the party

I believe the issue is that we are trying to have a party that should stand for fairness and equity; a party that will be all- encompassing. There is need to get a strong party in preparation for the next election because there are concerns that the party is drifting; it’s not showing the readiness of sticking to the constitution and principles of the party, and there is need for us to address these issues. We can list many different scenarios happening in different states that give us concern. One of the key things that will always undermine the party is if the internal democracy mechanism is not strong leading to the election. So the sooner we address the issues the better for us; it is then that the public will see this is a party to trust, and we can’t do that without taking a look at what will be happening around in the country. PDP must reposition itself stronger and better and we believe such is not happening now.



Can you tell us specific constitutional breaches in the party and by who could be held responsible for such?

Constitutional breaches in the party are many; for example, there are issues that occurred in states like Adamawa, constitutional procedure on how you suspend members of the party, procedures in primary, if you look at what happened in Anambra state, it’s a concern, how a party can run two primaries at two different locations, as at today as we speak we don’t have a candidate in the next election; whether we like it or not, that is not good for the party, the party must be able to resolve its differences. We must get it right and the signals are not encouraging and that is why its better we shout now.



The formation of the new PDP appears to be the highpoint of the crisis within the party; did the leadership of the new PDP before the formation of that group, take advantage of internal crisis resolution mechanisms of the party before the final step?

Yes, unfortunately I was not at the convention, but you can see that one of the fundamental issues is that there were requests that certain procedures as agreed within the convention should be followed; but it found that delegates from some states were removed for those who were not delegates at all. Things like these made people to stage the walk out.



Is it just about lack of internal democracy in the party or breaches of party constitution; is the formation of the new PDP on a mission to stop President Jonathan from re-contesting in 2015?

How can that be?



But that’s the view of most Nigerians?

How can that be the issue for the formation of the new PDP, That is not the issue, may be that is what is exciting that could sell newspapers, people pick what they want to hammer on, no it’s not that. Look, there are about 18 states out of the 23 where you will have a change of baton at the states and you know what it’s like when there is change of baton in a state, the political activities become fierce and it is not like 2011 when most of governors were coming back; it was an easier transition then, but when you have this kind of situation without a strong internal party democracy or dynamics that party will stem serious problems, danger looms. If already you are having problem of delegates or state executives that is child play compared to when you will start dealing with primaries, if you go by one state already where we have two primary PDP by the time we are now doing 18 states. Is there any PDP person that can confidently say we have strengthened the party enough to ensure that we will not have crisis at the point of change of baton? Forget the issue of stopping President Jonathan, we are talking about the base, unlike before in 2003 in some places some places once you win the PDP ticket, you can go and sleep because you will win the general elections but it’s not like that anymore, and once it’s no longer like that, we must adjust because it is not the party that makes people, the people make the party.



You are the first leader of the new PDP that is saying Jonathan in not the issue, the G-7 governors and perhaps press statements by the new PDP always cite one of the conditions as President Jonathan’s second term ambition, are you disagreeing with them?

The issue of President Jonathan let me correct you, I am not saying that is not the only issue there are eight reasons we have put down; one out of eight in my mathematics is 13 percent, but we are talking about the remaining 87 percent rather than on the 13 percent. As much as we talk about it at the end of the day it’s a decision of his; decision of his in the sense that it’s a moral decision, at President Jonathan’s meeting with governors what did he commit, what did he tell Nigerians I am sure there will be recording of the past, what President Obasanjo said at Eagles Square, what he said somewhere, interpretation of meetings with people and all the rest. But it’s a decision of his at the end of the day; he should take a look at the environment to take a decision so at the end of the day it’s a moral decision; the decision is his individual choice.



Do you believe Tukur is the problem and his exit as chairman will solve the problems of the party?

What I will say is that the way the party is now, there is a problem presently under the chairmanship of Alhaji Tukur, the problem started when the new executive was put in place since then, we all saw the internal fighting within the party, now in going forward, sacrifices have to be made and one of the sacrifices is different leadership for the party, there is no doubt about that because that is the demand of the majority of the people now and in putting that in place, it must be a leadership that honestly people will believe can provide sanity. For instance, before, even if you are messed up in PDP, you have nowhere to go to; today, there are options because if you mess up a popular person, he can go to another party and mess up PDP.



But a national convention has been conducted, how do you effect a change of leadership at the national level?


Those are the challenges before the party.



There is the perception that those of you in the new PDP are up in arms against President Jonathan and Tukur because the president is perceived to be weak. Could you people have done this under ex-president Obasanjo?

I want to categorically say that President Jonathan is not a weak president. Even if ex-president Obasanjo is the president now, it would not have changed the current tempo and situation as it affects the new PDP. These are the kinds of stories some people in government tell the president, that Mr. President, don’t accept this, they think are weak, they always say you are weak and things like that, that because you are not from the majority Hausa/Fulani, or Yoruba or because you are from the minority; stories that will always make the man make mistakes. These are the people creating problems in this government. The difference between 2003 and now are wide; democracy is beginning to have meaning to the ordinary Nigerian, institutions are striving and people are more conscious of their rights and responsibilities as citizens.

They now ask questions more often than before, they are more enlightened. The National Assembly for instance is stronger, the media is more conscious and even the NGOs are becoming more conscious of their responsibilities. You cannot compare ten years ago to now. Once institutions are stronger, the people in government get weaker and answerable to the people. That is what people misrepresent to mean President Jonathan is weak; he is no weak at all, that is a misconception. For instance when we were governors and state of emergency was declared in Plateau, some of us waned to intervene but the reaction was fear, hey don go against the president, he will declare same in your state, but it is not like that now because in the first place, the constitution is clear even on that. So what Obasanjo could get away with then, Jonathan cannot, not because he is weak but because the institutions are stronger.



One basic issue the G-7 governors and the new PDP in their meetings with the leaders of the party has raised is the government has been using the anti-corruption agencies, particularly the EFCC to harass those who are not doing the biding of the present government at the centre. Do you believe in this demand?

That’s not true, it was not a demand; it was never a demand.

It wasn’t a demand? But it has never been denied before and that the demand was made to save you from investigation.

I am denying it; it was never a demand, there is a difference. Let’s separate the issue, you started rightly by saying the perception is that those who are not for government or anti-government are being persecuted, that is the perception, now it’s not a demand; for me, I think I am one of the most investigated; I have been to all agencies, EFCC, SFU etc, and the point is that I have not asked anybody on my behalf to say that one of the demands should be that EFCC should stop. Some of us are saying, if you look at certain things, any person standing from the sidelines will raise an eye-brow. I left government for two and half years ago, now EFCC or SU was asking about is what happened 13 years ago, the question is why now? In 2011 when I raise the fuel subsidy issue on the floor, it was the same time SFU remembered I had a commercial transaction in 2010, not a public transaction, even in the case of the EFCC, I was called and I went to EFCC and I anytime they call I am ready to answer, it’s not that any politician, particularly those of us in the new PDP that has a case to answer with EFCC should not be investigated as part of the deal, that’s not part of the deal; what we are saying is that politicians and government should not get this agencies dragged into politics; they should be left to do their jobs. I can speak for myself, I did not tell anybody to say don’t prosecute Saraki as a condition as part of the nPDP demand, you saw our eight demands. What we are worried about is that each time an issue that people in government are not comfortable about is raised, the anti-corruption agencies dust up petitions that they did not find worthy and harass people with them.



Are you now telling Nigerian you are being harassed by anti-corruption agencies because of your stance on some issues?


What I am saying categorically is this: my visits to these agencies most of the time coincide with periods I take positions on issues government believes are unpleasant. I never knew SFU office before, I have never been to SFU office in my life until after the fuel subsidy issue I raised on the floor of the senate and I believe SFU has been set up for many years; the petition at SFU was over seven months ago by the time I was called upon.



This brings the issue of our motion on the fuel subsidy claims. As it stands now, so much has accrued to the federation in terms of what was mopped up from the subsidy claims. As the person who opened the issue of discrepancies on the floor of the senate, how do you feel in the light of this?

One feels vindicated because when I started the issue some people felt oh Saraki does not like President Jonathan, he wants to bring down the administration; but today, the ministry of finance is congratulating itself for this and even the petroleum ministry praising itself for the efficient way it has managed the subsidy claims. The bottom line is that until, I raised fundamental issues with the support of my colleagues in the senate about leakages in the system where we felt that the quantity of petroleum products said to be supplied for local consumption does no tally with the declared imported quantity and that there was the need for us to have a more efficient process, so much, close to about N600 billion that would have been wasted has been saved because of that. Even if that is the only thing the National Assembly has done for four years, that singular act it deserves commendations because the executive had the figures, they did no need us to make necessary changes but until the National Assembly stood up to the challenges, there was nothing in that direction.

Recently in the cause of the struggle, when it really started to get new PDP to the consciousness to Nigerians your security aides were withdrawn, how are you coping with this development


I don’t know the reason for that don’t know what my security as to do with it, it’s not something that was given to by favour, it is backed by law, just one day you will come and withdraw security, these are the things I am talking about, I didn’t leave office yesterday, I left office two and half years ago, just one Sunday in the heat of all this new PDP my security aides were withdrawn, tell me is it all former governors security aides that were withdrawn?



Have they been restored, if no, what steps are you taking in that direction?

I have written to the IG and I have given him time to respond and if he doesn’t I will go to court to seek redress.



What is the way out of the current crisis?

The way out of it is to look at the demands that have been made. The truth is PDP cannot be the same PDP without the new PDP, that’s the truth, if you are a practical politician you do your homework, you will see anybody that is saying they can do without the new faction is not being honest, and no politician is in a hurry to leave the party he has helped to build or formed, definitely both sides will be looking for a solution but at the same time as you know as politicians if those options are not readily available they will look at other options



What other options are you looking at?

These are not for newspapers, but you know that a politician will always have options; that is why we are saying dialogue should be explored.



You made your intention known in 2011 to be president, are you still interested in running for the presidency?

Anybody who is talking about political office now when you don’t know if the party will exist or not is not a serious politician because the foundation must first be built and when you lay that foundation then we can come back again and ask ourselves what are we are we planning to do, go back to the senate to contest or any elective position or go and do whatever, for some of us, the issue now is that let us get that foundation right.
