chie8: EKSG Compensates The Affected People on Dualization of Ise Township Road
Ekiti State Government has distributed over 2.2 million naira compensation to the 27 people that would be affectded in the dualization of Ise Ekiti township road.
The governor was welcomed by the people of Ise Ekiti in their large numbers. Performing the ceremony at Ise Ekiti, Governor Fayose said that despite pucity of funds, he would continue to have impact in all the communities in the state.
He added that the project was another promise kept, the governor also promise to work on some failed portions of the road leading to Ise town to be able to give the dualized road a good look.
Some beneficiaries Mr Bayode Afolabi and Gabriel Owoseni whose shops and houses were affected thanked the governor for the compensation.
In his response, Kabiyesi, Arinjale of Ise Ekiti appreciates the effort of the Governor for bringing road dualization to Ado Ekiti in his first term in office and for extending the good gesture to five different Local Government Headquaters in the state in his second term in office which Ise Ekiti happens to be a beneficiary.
He eulogised the role played by Governor Fayose in his first term as goveror in making Arinjale the Chairman traditional ruler of Oba’s in Ekiti State.
The governor thereafter in his usual habit demonstrated the stomach Infrastructure concept by distributing food stuffs to the people in the town.
Also at Emure Ekiti where the governor inspected the dualization work currently going on in the town and ask for the support of the people towards his administration.
He however promise to do everything possible despite the paucity of funds in making the town a better place than it is right now

robosky02: Chelsea FC midfielder and Super Eagles captain Mikel Obi has been named Captain of Team Nigeria to the 2016 Olympic Games at Rio in Brazil, which begins on August 5.
A statement on Tuesday by Nneka Ikem-Anibeze, Special Assistant on Media to Youths and Sports Minister Solomon Dalung, also named Funke Oshonaike as the Assistant Team Captain.
Mikel is one of the three over-aged players invited to the national under-23 football team for the Games.
He is making his first appearance at an Olympic Games, after missing out on the 2008 edition in Beijing, China where he was widely expected to make an appearance.
Table tennis star Oshonaike is making her sixth appearance at the Olympics after she made her debut at the Atlanta Games in 1996.
“Mikel and Oshonaike were chosen because of their consistency, patriotism and dedication to national assignments.
“Mikel is a young, patriotic footballer of international status and we believe he will be a role model to the upcoming athletes, while Oshonaike is experienced and is one of the oldest athletes in the team.
“We believe that their combined efforts will bring goodwill to Team Nigeria and project the county’s image positively to the world,’’ Ikem-Anibeze said in the statement.
The Dream Team VI, Team Nigeria’s male football side, is expected to depart for Rio from Atlanta in the U.S., where they have been training, on Friday.
Other athletes making up the team are however expected to leave Nigeria on the same day from Abuja.
http://punchng.com/mikel-captain-team-nigeria-rio-olympics/ They will not qualify for second round. Mikel is a mediocre and Nigeria is a joke. A team with Mikel as captain is a joke. |

kahal29: THE Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs has begun the screening of Ambassadorial nominees forwarded to the Senate by President Muhammadu Buhari.
There was, however, drama as two of the nominees, who appeared before the Senator Monsurat Sunmonu-led committee could not recite properly stanzas of the National Anthem and the Pledge.
One of the nominees, Vivian Okeke, from Anambra State failed when she was asked to sing the National Anthem.
During her screening, Mrs Okeke was asked by Monsurat Summonu, the chairman of the committee, to sing the National Anthem. Mrs Okeke during the recital, mumbled the last stanza of the National Anthem but was aided by a member of the committee, Senator James Manager.
She was the first nominee to be screened of the 47 ambassadorial nominees.
However, the nominee said the three major changes that should be made must be in the area of fighting corruption, insurgency and diversification of the economy.
She also said that returnees should be received when the country puts in effort, even as she stressed the need for the country to look into the area of financing and salary payments.

Politics › Re: Police, SSS, Broker Peace Between Wike, Amaechi by bittertruthz: 8:50am On Jul 27, 2016 |
hansyllo: Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, and his predecessor, Rotimi Amaechi, committed themselves to peace in the oil rich state on Tuesday, same day rerun elections in the state were postponed for fear of violence.
The Independent National Electoral Commission, in statement by its secretary, Augusta Ogakwu, announced the suspension of the National Assembly and State Assembly rerun elections earlier slated for July 30, after risk assessments and consultations with security agencies and relevant bodies.
“The reports of these assessments have been almost unanimous in concluding that the prevailing security situation in most parts of the state where elections are to hold are not conducive for peaceful elections,” INEC said.
“In the Commission’s view, the rhetorics of some of the political actors, the incidence of violence in a number of local government areas where these elections are scheduled and the atmosphere of fear and intimidation created present danger in proceeding with elections as earlier scheduled.”
Earlier, INEC conducted the rerun legislative electors on March 19, but “regrettably, the elections in all three Senatorial districts and several other of these constituencies could not be concluded due to violent disruption of the process which necessitated the suspension of the exercise in all the senatorial districts and affected constituencies”.
INEC urged continuous efforts by “respected” individuals, organisations and leaders to douse tension and ensure conducive atmosphere, adding it has responsibility to ensure safety of electorate, electoral personnel and observers.
The commission did not issue a fresh date for the polls, but assured “that it is ready to conclude elections in Rivers State within shortest time possible once security situation is conducive for the conduct of peaceful polls”.
But the main actors in Rivers politics, Messrs Wike and Amaechi, were made to agree to a peace deal to end political violence in the state.
The deal was brokered by the acting Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, and the Director-General of the State Security Service, Lawal Daura, police spokesperson, Donald Awunah, said in a statement Tuesday evening.
“In a concerted effort to guarantee a violent-free and credible re-run senatorial/house of representative elections in Rivers state, a crucial meeting to chart the path to peace in Rivers state before, during and after the re-run elections in the state was held today, July 26, 2016 between the inspector-general of police, Ag IGP Ibrahim K. Idris and the director-general of Department of State Services, Musa Daura,” Mr. Awunah said.
“The two major players in the politic of Rivers state, His Excellency Nyesom Wike, the governor of Rivers state and the Hon minister of transport, Rotimi Amaechi, were in attendance. “The meeting deliberated on the overall need to have peaceful, free and fair election devoid of violence, which was the hallmark of the previous elections in the state. “The governor, His Excellency Nyesom Wike and minister, Rotimi Amaechi resolved to be irrevocably commit to lasting peace and vouched to play the game by the rules in the forthcoming re-run elections in the state. They also agreed to prevail on their teaming supporters to adhere to their commitment to peace and security in the state. “In addition, the two major stakeholders agreed to convene another meeting in Port Harcourt, Rivers state, aimed at further solidifying the commitment to peace reached in the meeting, which is a prelude to the roadmap that will usher a permanent and lasting peace in Rivers state.
“The meeting was held in an atmosphere of mutual respect and cordiality.”

Many innocent souls have lost their lives because of these guys.

Politics › Re: Imo North Senatorial Election: Okorocha On A Wild Goose Chase – Ekweremadu by bittertruthz: 9:53am On Jul 26, 2016 |
outknow: The Deputy President of the Senate, Chief Ike Ekweremadu has berated the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, over his reported claims that he (Ekweremadu) relocated to Imo State during the inconclusive Imo North Senatorial District re-run election, in a bid to influence the outcome in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). In a statement issued by the Special Adviser (Media) to the Deputy President of the Senate, Mr. Uche Anichukwu, he said the Ekweremadu would have “allowed the governor to continue to wallow in his delusions and wild claims, but, considering the fact that this is the second consecutive statement by the governor in one week wherein he attempted to impugn the integrity and democratic credentials of the Office and person of the Deputy President of the Senate, we are being compelled to set the record straight”.
Continuing, Mr. Anichukwu said: “The Deputy President of the Senate visited Imo State for the last time in 2015. It is also instructive that the governor’s claim comes on the heels of another statement by some All Progressives Congress (APC) elements in Ezeagu Local Government Area on Sunday where they whined bitterly over the huge solidarity shown by the good people, stakeholders, and traditional rulers of Enugu State to Senator Ekweremadu during his annual Ikeoha Scholarship and Bursary Awards/Adult Literacy Day at the Council headquarters on the same Saturday, June 23, 2016.
“For the same party to also claim that the same Ekweremadu who was empowering his people at Ezeagu in a well reported event on the same Saturday was also in Imo State at the same time to influence election is just another showcase of the buffet of lies, deceit, and confusion that has become the order of the day in the ruling party”.
He advised Governor Okorocha and other APC leaders in the South East zone to “preoccupy themselves with ending the invasions and killings by purported herdsmen, gross marginalization of Ndigbo in the distribution of opportunities and the blessings of democracy as well as the worrisome trend of inconclusive elections”.
Mr. Anichukwu said Governor Okorocha’s statement also showed poor understanding of the workings of the legislature, noting that Ekweremadu was not perturbed in any way by the wishful prospects of an APC Senator of South-East extraction.
“The Senate has a ranking rule, and if Okorocha was not able to secure a principal office, even Deputy Majority Whip for the two House of Representatives Members from Imo State, it is left to imagination how he would be able to appoint a Deputy President for the Senate. He is on a wild goose chase”.

Close the structural and procedural gaps that limit transparency and accountability in the budget process; Design a legislative framework that fully provides for the effective oversight of off-budget accounts that typically lack oversight and transparency; Design efficient timelines for the entire budget process; Enable the National Assembly to adequately interrogate budget bills fully before passage; Create new tools for efficiency in the implementation of budget oversight schemes of the National Assembly; Create performance reports on all aspects of the budget - including the budget of the three arms of government; Address the absence of continuous legislative oversight structure with the MDAs; Remedy the inadequate budget impact assessment scheme; and Develop a robust linkage between the budget outcome and the next budget cycle.

Politics › Re: Ekweremadu Must Go, APC Chiefs Insist by bittertruthz: 11:42am On Jul 24, 2016 |
Babzrockman: There are strong indications that the All Progressives Congress is insisting on the removal of the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.
Sunday PUNCH reliably gathered on Saturday that although the APC was happy with the appointments, which the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, made in the committees of the upper chamber on Thursday, the party believed that for the peace process to complete, Ekweremadu must resign or be removed.
Saraki became the senate president in June last year against the wish of the APC, which supported the emergence of Senator Ahmed Lawan.
The former Kwara State governor emerged as the senate president with the support of the his loyalists under the aegis of Like-Mind Senators comprising members of the Peoples Democratic Party in the upper chamber and most of their colleagues in the APC.
It was reported last year that one of the conditions that the PDP gave to Saraki was to concede the deputy senate president seat to one of its members.
The senate president defied the APC when he ensured that his loyalists, except Senator Sola Adeyeye (Chief Whip) became the principal officers.
But on Thursday, Saraki began a peace move when he reshuffled senate panels and appointed his critics in the Senate Unity Forum as heads of “juicy committees.”
For example, the spokesman of the SUF, Senator Kabiru Marafa, became the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum Resources (Downstream), while Senator Oluremi Tinubu was appointed the Chairperson of the Committee on the Environment.
A chief of the APC, who pleaded anonymity, confided in Sunday PUNCH on Saturday, that although Saraki’s action was a right step in the right direction, he should do more.
He said the APC was not comfortable with Ekweremadu as the deputy senate president and Saraki should look for a way of “getting him out.”
He said that besides being a PDP member, the deputy senate president had not hidden his disdain for the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.
The party chieftain stated, “We are happy with what he (Saraki) did with the committees, but Ekweremadu cannot remain as the deputy senate president. When the PDP was in power, opposition parties did not produce the deputy senate president.”
Another APC leader who spoke on condition of anonymity said, “What Saraki has done is not enough. Ekweremadu must leave that position.”
When contacted to comment on the claim that the APC was insisting on Ekweremadu’s removal, the National Chairman of the party, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, said, “No comment.”
Repeated calls to the mobile telephone number of the party’s National Secretary, Mai Bala Buni, were neither picked nor returned, a response to a text message sent to him was being awaited as of the time of filing this report.
Our position has not changed —SUF member
But a member of the SUF, Senator Adesoji Akanbi, (Oyo South), told SUNDAY PUNCH that the aggrieved lawmakers would not back down on their agitation for the Senate leadership.
The senator explained that he, and other members of the SUF, despite being offered positions in the Senate, would continue to support the directive of the APC.
He added that he was sure members of the forum, who were recently offered positions, would not turn against the party.
Akanbi said, “We all know what the party wanted from day one. Initially, when the leadership of the Senate was to be formed, we all know where the party stood. Up till now, the party has not changed its position and will not.
“Those who have been offered positions have the choice to accept or not to accept. I am sure that it will not affect their loyalty to their party. The Kabir Marafa and Suleiman Hunkuyi that I know, are loyal to the party, just like any other members of the SUF which I belong.”
He said that the forum was formed by senators who believe in the APC and the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Akanbi said, “We from the South-West also believe in the leadership of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. If that (loyalty to the three) is a sin, we are prepared to commit it. If it is a sin to stand by those three – APC, Buhari and Tinubu – we will continue to be sinners.”
The senator also noted that the recent reshuffle of committee chairmanship was not a new thing in the legislature, regardless of which sides of the divide lawmakers belonged.
He added that those who were giving and taking positions should do so as representatives of the party and not as independent individuals.
Efforts to get Marafa and Suleiman Hunkuyi, who are both members of the SUF and beneficiaries of the new appointments, were not successful on Saturday as their telephone lines indicated that they had been switched off.
Marafa had on Friday said that the reshuffling of the committees was an initiative of the party.
But a senior aide to Saraki, who spoke to one of our correspondents on condition of anonymity, said those who were still not satisfied with the leadership of the Senate among members of the SUF, were speaking for themselves.
The aide also said that the APC currently lacked the popularity to unseat Ekweremadu in the current scheme of things.
The source said, “How does the APC even want to remove Ekweremadu when it takes the simple majority to elect the Deputy Senate President but it takes two-thirds of the entire legislators to remove him.
“Do they have the two-thirds? They don’t have it. As of today, the PDP senators are more in the position to do that than the APC senators.”
Appointments, part of reconciliation — Saraki
The Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, who spoke to one of our correspondents on behalf of Saraki, confirmed that the new committee appointments were parts of the moves to bring senators closer together.
He said, “It cannot be the only thing. When you have 109 people representing large constituencies, continuously, you have to manage situations. It is like having 109 captains. Continuously, you have to discuss with and engage people; you have to make reconciliatory moves. That is what you have to do continuously if you want to get the job done.
“It (the appointment) is just one of the continuous moves that have to be made from time to time. Remember that Saraki met with (Sen. Oluremi) Tinubu for a long time; he also met with Dino (Melaye) over their issue. As the issues arise, you have to continue to engage them. It is a continuous effort.”
Meanwhile, senators of the Peoples Democratic Party have denied media reports that they were planning to initiate impeachment proceedings against President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a a press statement at the weekend jointly signed by Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio, Senate Minority Whip, Senator Philip Aduda, and Senate Deputy Minority Whip, Senator Biodun Olujimi, the PDP Senators described the said impeachment plot as “false, baseless and unfounded.”
They said, “For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that the said impeachment plot is false, baseless and unfounded. The PDP Senate Caucus had neither discussed nor participated in any discussion or congregation on the issue of impeaching and/or serving notice of impeachment on President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR. Hence, we advise Nigerians generally to be cautious in spinning and/or peddling rumours capable of heating up the polity.”
