Politics › Re: Aisha Yesufu Appeals To Atiku To Stop His Supporters' Attack On Obidients by Bifam30(m): 12:43pm On Aug 19

FSBoperator:
What nonsense are you spewing ?

Atiku agreeing to enter an alliance with Obi shows he knows he can't win it without consolidating with Obi's bigoted voters in the SE.

Atiku knows he doesn't have the overwhelming support in the North and knows he should not expect any votes from both the SS , SW and NC which Tinubu has fully consolidated.

If Atiku was sure of even northern votes swaying the elections to his favour why did he agree to discus an alliance with Obi if not for the SE bigoted votes that Obi has .

Atiku is hoping on using his marginal and dwindling voter's base in the NW and NE and that of SE bigoted votes Obi is expected to bring to win the elections .

But this is a pipe dream as Atiku doesn't even hold sway in the north over Tinubu .

Tinubu will definitely win the NW , NE and NC and will add the SS and SW to the kitty.

Atiku will do very badly across the South and NC.

So that's why he is desperate for SE bigoted bloc votes .

VERY VERY "F-U-N-N-Y" Y-O-U !! 🤣😅😂

Politics › Blackout Hits Lagos, Abuja And Other Cities As National Grid Again Collapses! by Bifam30(op): 12:56am On Apr 09, 2022

The national electricity grid collapsed again on Friday evening, making it the third time the grid had collapsed within the space of one month.

Some power distribution companies confirmed the development in separate messages on Friday evening.

The Abuja Electricity Distribution Company stated that the collapse had resulted in power outage in its area of operation, which covered about five states.

In a tweet via its official Twitter handle, the AEDC said, “Please be informed that there has just been a national grid collapse causing an outage in our franchise areas.

“We apologise for the inconvenience caused and appeal that you bear with us while we await restoration from the TCN (Transmission Company of Nigeria). We regret all inconvenience caused.”

Also, Eko Electricity Distribution Company said the grid collapse affected its entire network.

“Good evening everyone. We regret to inform you that the current outage affecting our entire network is due to system collapse,” EKEDC stated.

Grid collapse: Nigerians should adopt renewables, says expert
Nigerians lament collapse of national grid on social media
It added, “TCN team is working to resolve it as soon as possible.

Sincere apologies for the inconveniences caused. Please, bear with us.”

Last month, Nigeria’s power grid collapsed twice and worsened the energy crisis nationwide, as Nigerians had to contend with fuel scarcity and power outages.

The collapse of the grid on Friday evening, again caused blackout across the country, as homes and businesses were without power to run their activities.

Politics › Why FEC Rejected Amaechi’s N3.7bn Security Proposal - Leaked Memo by Bifam30(op): 7:50am On Apr 01, 2022

A leaked memo obtained on Thursday revealed why a proposal for security equipment along the Abuja-Kaduna rail track, which was presented to the Federal Executive Council by the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, was rejected.

Recall that Amaechi had while fielding questions from journalists after the train bombing that left at least eight persons dead, said he had predicted the attack and presented a memo to FEC for the procurement of security equipment, but it was rejected.

According to the minutes of the FEC meeting of September 24, 2021, marked EC (2021)236, which was presided over by Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, while the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), was attending the United Nations General Assembly, Amaechi recommended that a firm, Mogjan Nigeria Limited, be given the contract worth N3.7bn.

The firm, which was incorporated on August 6, 2019, by Prince Godwin Momoh, Chioma Momoh and George Momoh, had a turnover of N84.9m.

“We had doubts about the capability of a company, which was formed less than two years prior and had no track record of handling a contract of N3.7bn or a contract on surveillance systems. The company was also to be paid upfront. Our investigation pointed to a conflict of interest,” said a top Presidency official.

According to the memo sighted by The PUNCH, Amaechi in his presentation stated that the Bureau of Public Procurement had reviewed the process of procurement and had given a certificate of no objection for the contract, adding that the project would be funded from the N71.4bn budget of the ministry.

The minister subsequently asked the council to “approve the award of contract for the procurement and installation of electronic surveillance system and interrogation unit on the Abuja (Idu)-Kaduna (Rigasa) 200km railway monitoring rail intrusion detection system and emergency response system in favour of Messrs Mogjan Nigeria Limited/Cagewox Dot Net Limited in the sum of N3,780,827,410.66 inclusive of 7.5 per cent VAT with a completion period of four months.”

However, ministers in the council questioned the capacity of the firm to deliver as well as the failure of Amaechi to provide proper detail on the capabilities of the equipment.

There was also a scanty record of the company’s past projects, which could prove that it was capable of executing such a project as a report by the Federal Ministry of Transportation sighted showed that the firm had no evidence of carrying out such a project in the past.

The minutes of the meeting read in part, “Some members expressed concern about the quality of the memorandum as there was no description of the surveillance system concept note, brand name, country of manufacture or review by the previous user to enable them to make informed decisions.

“They stated that as sophisticated as the surveillance system was touted to be, there were no indications that it had been demonstrated and tested by the security technology agencies. They equally observed that all the projects were lumped together under one budget line, which they noted was not good enough as each rail line project was supposed to be captured in its individual budget line.”

According to the minutes of the FEC meeting, the Chief of Staff to the President, Prof Ibrahim Gambari, asked if the equipment would be installed across all rail lines in the country and if there would be a provision for training to enable staff members to acquire knowledge and build capacity on the use of the surveillance system.

Osinbajo pointed out that the solution system was “described in a generic term and whether it had a brand name, adding that the system, being a rail equipment monitoring solution, ought to have a brand name and a comprehensive description of its functions.”

The Vice-President also needed a description of how the system would work.

Amaechi responded by saying that it was just a pilot programme and if it worked, it would be replicated across the country. He said the system would work in such a way that if the rail was tampered with, it would send signals to an observation platform.

“In his remarks, the Vice-President directed that in view of the observation raised by members, there was a need for the ministry to provide further description of the equipment, its brand name, manufacturer and how it worked,” the memo read.

Politics › Southern Kaduna Community Rejects Chiefdom Vreated By Gov. El-rufai by Bifam30(op): 9:13am On Mar 30, 2022

Leaders of Adara Community in Southern Kaduna have rejected the chiefdom recently created by Governor Nasir el-Rufai, urging the inhabitants not to recognise the traditional entity.
Vowing to resist the governor’s attempt to foist Hausa-Fulani hegemony on Adara Community, they threatened to visit any native, who recognises the new chiefdom, with severe sanctions.

At a press briefing in Kaduna, yesterday, the National President of Adara Development Association (ADA), Awemi Dio Maisamari, and other leaders of the community said: “Adara nation is compelled to continue raising the alarm on the series of schemes we believe as being engineered by the administration of el-Rufai of Kaduna State to destabilise, subdue and dispossess our community.

“Since the government is no longer disguising his malice against Adara nation, the community has resolved to consistently resist and expose his evolving machinations. The opinion of our people is that it has a grand plan to undermine and supplant the ethnic identities, cultures and authority of indigenous communities in their ancestral lands to consolidate Hausa and Fulani Muslim domination and hegemony.”

According to Maisamari, “Some of the signs of the insidious plots targeting Adara in particular (just as in other areas of Southern Kaduna) include, the unconstitutional boundary adjustment in 2016, which transferred Ladugga from Ikulu Chiefdom of Zango Kataf Local Council to Adara Chiefdom of Kachia Local Council. It is intended to increase the Hausa and Fulani Muslim populations in Kachia and Adara.

“The unacceptable manipulation and alteration of the demography of the area are to form a basis for creating a Hausa-Fulani Muslim Chiefdom in Kachia. This is illegal because no state government has the constitutional power to adjust local council boundaries.”

According to the leaders, the government has already started implementing laws creating the chiefdom in Adara land, in the most arrogant and provocative manner.

“Our aggrieved community is being told loud and clear that their views, interests, rights, grievances, appeals for inclusion, engagement and justice mean nothing because they have no stake in El-Rufai’s ‘new Kaduna State’.

“The above machinations are being planned, developed, hatched and implemented in an atmosphere of insecurity and economic chaos,” they added.

Crime › Eye Witness Report By A Survivor Of The Attack On The Abuja - Kaduna Train by Bifam30(op): 12:16pm On Mar 29, 2022

"We boarded the 6:27 train to Kaduna the journey was very typical and uneventful until roughly 25 minutes from Kaduna. We heard a bang and the coach started wobbling. I realized that our coach had derailed and it started leaning to one side; fortunately the train came safely to a halt and then we started hearing gunfire. We all dropped to the floor.

I heard muffled voices with Fulani accents from outside the train, they eventually forced their way into the train screaming in what sounded like Arabic and went to the coach behind ours. They let out some shots which we later learnt killed a passenger rattling them and causing them to leave the train with many passengers from that coach. They continued shooting until they left us. In the meantime, the police escorts rallied together and resisted the onslaught. They exchanged gunfire for so long after the attack.

We remainedon board the train in the dark and in silence until soldiers came and announced their arrival. They secured the train, removed the injured and some of the dead and shepherded (if there's such a word) of the train. We were told by the security details that many coaches had gone of the tracks and so the train wouldn't be able to move further. On getting out I observed that there were steep escarpments on either side of the train. The military helped us all up the steep slope and got us to sit in the ground at the top.

A Brigadier-General whose name I didn't catch addressed us. He said that vehicles were on their way to pick us up. However, we were going to have to walk to where it would be easier for the vehicles to maneuver due to the poor state of the tracks to our point of rescue. We then walked to the Kaduna-Abuja road what we were immediately loaded onto busses and brought to Kaduna. In my case we were dropped off at Leventis flyover at roughly 1:45 am.

We're grateful to God for the deliverance from injury, being kidnapped and death.
Our hearts bleed for those that died in this incidence; it could have happened to any one of us. Let's pray for those they left behind and that this dangerous security situation is brought under control"

Politics › Create Ministry Of Political Affairs, Bola Ahmed TINUBU Urges Muslim Leaders! by Bifam30(op): 12:34pm On Mar 20, 2022

- Seeks support for presidential ambition

A presidential aspirant of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu has charged Supreme Council for Shari’ah in the country to create department of political affairs to create political awareness among faithfuls towards producing a muslim president in 2023.

Speaking at the Annual National Conference and Pre-Ramadan meeting of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN), held at GMT hotel, Osogbo, Osun state, he said Muslims cannot afford to be left behind in political participation nationwide.

While soliciting the congregation’s support towards realising his presidential bid, Tinubu, who was represented by the Asiwaju Musulumi of Yorubaland, Edo and Delta States, Chief Tunde Badmus stressed the need to ensure that muslims, like other groups must ensure that followers participate in the country’s political process effectively.

He adds “Other religious groups have commenced political sensitisation by creating political departments or directorate among themselves to promote their own. You should create a political wing among yourself so that it will further gear your participation in politics, it will be a good platform to support your brothers who are vying for political positions.

“There is a need for us to act toward our prayers, the emergence of a good leader but we need to partake in political activities. Almighty Allah answers our prayer through our actions so while praying let us act towards it.

“Tinubu disclosed that he would visit the council across the state to solicit support to make his presidential ambtion a reality”.

Through the president of the Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria, I will visit all states of this nation. I can’t be opportune to see all Muslims in Nigeria but through the Muslim leaders, we can make it happen.

Addressing journalists, the Secretary General of the council, Sheikh Nafiu Baba Ahmed, said the meeting was aimed at setting agenda for scholars’ sermon in the month of Ramadan towards encouraging the masses to actively take part in the political process.

“We can understand the reason for the disconnect between the people and the political class. The masses are reluctant to participate in the process because of the way the present administration disappointed their expectations. The political leadership promised a whole lot, the promised to reduce fuel price, build new refineries buy today, there is no fuel anywhere and the masses are suffering.

“However, despite the situation, we want the scholars to encourage people to take part in the process and they should understand the need to keep trying till Allah gives us a leadership that would bring his mercy on the people. There is time to enjoy and time to suffer, but we must keep trying till we get the best out of the nation’s leadership.

“The aim this year is to make everyone to retrospect and bring about change from within so the society can change and expect God’s grace”, he said.

Earlier in his remark, Governor Adegboyega Oyetola said his action in government has always been tailored towards being a good ambassador of Islam, especially being the only Muslim Governor in the southern part of the country.

He also called Muslim adherents to use the period of Ramadan to pray for the country to surmount its various challenges.

Politics › Kaduna APC Chieftain Says CPC Bloc Will Continue To Work For Party! by Bifam30(op): 9:18am On Mar 14, 2022

Kaduna State Chairman of the Defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) who is also an All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in the state,
Alhaji Ahmadu Yaro, popularly known as Coca-Cola said any attempt to dislodge the ruling APC over the leadership crisis will fail as CPC bloc will continue to work for the unity of APC because of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Alhaji Yaro expressed the optimism that the party will overcome the current leadership crisis because there are still party members that believe in the party and President Muhammadu Buhari’s leadership.

Alhaji Yaro while addressing a press conference at the weekend on the current leadership crisis in the party, said as members of CPC that went into the merger with other political parties which formed the APC they will remain in the party with President Muhammadu Buhari who was their presidential flag bearer in 2011 elections to find solution to the crisis.

The former CPC State Chairman further explained that as one of the founders of CPC he knew the
difficulties the members went through alongside Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), All Nigeria Peoples Party ( ANPP), a faction of All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) and new Peoples Democratic Party (n-PDP) members including President Buhari to formed the APC in year 2013 and as such they will not allow the party to disintegrate.

He however, cautioned the CPC members in APC to be careful with possible new political parties coming up ahead of the 2023 general elections,saying as politicians they should remain in the ruling party despite the challenges facing the party until the ruling party resolves its crisis.

“Let me use this opportunity to say that APC will overcome the leadership crisis because the crisis is a deliberate attempt to dislodge the party. But the party will not collapse.

“This is why I call on our members, particularly those from CPC not to leave APC for another party because of the current crisis in the party and other challenges. We are with President Buhari before the merger and will remain with him in APC,” He said .

He urged the APC National leadership to find a lasting solution to the crisis because party members are not happy with the situation, alleging that there are people working to sabotage president Buhari’s
administration.

Alhaji Yaro pointed out that the ruling party had done its best in fulfilling most of the campaign promises made to Nigerians from year 2015 to date, assuring party loyalists that the party will not collapse comes 2023.

Politics › Did Gov. El-rufai Unknowingly Announce BUHARI'S 2023 Anointed Candidate? by Bifam30(op): 8:51am On Mar 13, 2022

According to reports, Nasir el-Rufai, governor of Kaduna, says he will “reluctantly” contest the 2023 presidency in a joint ticket with Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation if President Muhammadu Buhari insists. Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, several politicians have declared their ambition for the number one seat while some are still making consultations.

Well, many people see this as El-Rufai being his usual brutally frank self. And has indicated that Amaechi has been anointed by the president. But many Nigerians have reasons to think differently.

Firstly, if that is true and El-Rufai respects the president as much as he wants us to believe in the interview, why would a man of his intelligence and experience in politics reveal the president’s position and preference on a national television? Knowing the implications and upheaval it will have on the party. The alignment of forces at the party’s upcoming convention and primaries, the APC government itself and the overheating of the polity as both the ruling party and opposition parties re-strategize to defeat the so mentioned ‘anointed one’.

El Rufai is too smart and this looks like a strategy to stir up a fierce potent gang up against Ameachi by all the power blocks in APC as well as the opposition. We know Wike will rather shelve his ambition, empty Rivers state treasury to ensure Amaechi never emerges. El Rufai’s statement in this light is therefore not a flippant leak perse but a calculated weaponized tale to stir up a gang up against Amaechi ahead of the convention & primaries.

Whatever it is, this El-Rufai’s interview has underlined the need for the GAC group, who the 2023 presidency is theirs to lose in February next year, to close ranks, put their house in order, squash this feud propagated by sponsored speculators between Tinubu & Osinbajo & come up with a common front in Tinubu, Osinbajo or Fashola.

Politics › President Buhari Asks For Order In APC!! by Bifam30(op): 8:54pm On Mar 12, 2022

President Muhammadu Buhari warns the leaders (and membership) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to desist from name-calling and backstabbing ahead of the oncoming March 26 Convention, remain steadfast and maintain its unity if the party is to continue in the path of victory and its dominance at all levels throughout the country.

President Buhari asks the members to look at the once-powerful, ''main opposition'' Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) now enfeebled and adrift and learn lessons in disunity, mismanagement and corruption.

''They failed in 16 years in power and a failure as opposition.

''Yes, we are entitled to our own share of dissent and intra-party discord. These are common in all parties, left and right all over the world.

''But parties splintered by competing egos destine themselves to the worst possible fate,'' the President warned.

''As the country prepares for the long run up to the 2023 presidential election, we all expect a robust debate on the issues that matter and what is going in the APC should be a reflection of this, not the infighting we are seeing. There must be no more distractions ahead of the convention to choose new leaders.''

He recalled that the APC started out with a confidence of victory and the party today enjoys that confidence in nearly two-thirds of our 36 states.

Yet, he noted, this is a party that has been in existence barely for eight years, becoming the dominant party because it has thrown open its doors to defectors from other parties, big and small.

This alone, addition to the fact ''we didn’t start on the note of arrogance of power, nor see government as a vehicle for self-aggrandizement, to be held at all costs, but a vehicle to bring development to all without discrimination-political, ethnic or regional to our dear country made this success possible.''

The party, he went on to note, is proud of the fact that in its short period of existence, it has won two general elections decisively and despite losing a few states in 2019, it steadfastly expanded its pan-Nigerian outlook with significant defections of the opposition Governors and parliamentarians into its fold.

''Given all that is at a stake, we can expect contests into offices as we are now faced with to be heated although candidates and their promoters for party offices are not so much debating policy differences but differences of management, personality, character, and suitability for the most important leadership roles in our country and therefore the continent.''

It is equally clear that over the last week or so, the internal management affairs of the APC have been afforded generous media coverage – over and above its importance to the voters of Nigeria.

It is important to ask what benefits the poor are getting during the period of intense negative coverage.

When precisely the party’s convention is held and who is the party’s chairman is hardly a matter for the average voter: vastly more important is who convention delegates will elect as the party’s flagbearer in the coming weeks to take forward the party’s platform to the people in the general election in February next year.

It is therefore important for the media to put such matters into perspective. No one is debating policy differences here. That is for the general election. None of the declared aspirants and any of those that may step forward will change because of who may be in the party in the chairman’s seat. It is essentially the same party.

Of course the media are welcome to comment on the content of the character of the potential APC candidates; discuss their suitability for leadership; scrutinize their offer to the membership. But to focus on the routine internal divisions and magnify them into what they have become today is a waste of everyone’s time, amounting to no more than a discussion over seating arrangements.

This is not what Nigerians talk of in their communities. They have an inclination only for things that matter.
