There are certain culture and habits that are exclusive to
Nigerians. These things could only be experienced while
growing up in a Nigerian setting.

In Nigerian homes, parents are allowed to keep their wards in
the house till they are done with their chores. It is only after
then they are free to go play with their friends in the next
‘compound’. The no work no play applies here.

5. Christmas is synonymous to eating rice

of spices now, these ones could still be found.

9. There are songs to know who farted in a group

Giwa has always claimed that the September, 2014 election which put Pinnick in office was faulty but his case has been ruled out by FIFA and the Court of Arbitration for Sports.

This case was reopened by Youth and Sports Minister Solomon Dalung who is a longtime friend of Giwa.


A high court sitting in Jos, Plateau State Nigeria on Friday, April 8 have nullified the elections that brought Pinnick as president and other board members of the NFF.

The court has now ruled in favour of Giwa faction and instructed the Federal Government of Nigeria to recognise him as the president of the NFF.



Another hearing has been fixed for Saturday, April 30 but Pinnick has been asked by the court to vacate the office of the NFF president pending the final hearing.

Pinnick and Giwa on Wednesday, January 20 almost came to blows at the National Stadium Package B where a peace meeting was called by Dalung.



The meeting was called to settle the leadership crises going on in the Glass House.

The meeting however ended in deadlock and the Minister told reporters that the meeting will be reconvened.

– Professor Osinbajo says corruption is fighting Nigeria

– He says the country is suffering due to corruption in the
past

– He promises that abandoned projects will be completed


Professor Yemi Osinbajo, the vice president has revealed that
the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari plans to
complete unfinished and abandoned projects first before
embarking on new ones.

The vice president made this known at the 1st national forum on
the economy organised by The Nation and tagged: National
economy: The way forward.


Osinbajo said there were about 31 road projects awaiting
completion like the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and the Benin-
Ore road. He noted that the contracts were awarded during the
administration of Goodluck Jonathan and that awarding new
ones without completing old ones did not represent continuity
in government.

On the issue of the economy, Osinbajo said Nigeria was
suffering due to the issue of corruption. He however clarified
that the new administration was not only focused on corruption
but also on developing the economy.

“People think we sit down to discuss corruption. We do not do
that. We have only empowered the agencies in charge to
function better like the EFCC and the ICPC not control them.
Corruption has enormous resources to fight back. If we don’t
kill corruption, corruption will kill us.”

The vice president explained that the Treasury Single Account
and the BVN has helped to eliminate ghost workers. He said 23
thousand ghost workers have been deleted from the
government’s payroll thereby saving the country millions of
Naira in monthly salary.

“If one person pockets $3 billion in one ministry and another
steals $4 billion in another ministry, what will happen to the
country? When people already have with them half of the
country’s external reserve.

“What we plan to do is to eliminate this so that no one tries it
in the future. Where we are today is the result of corruption. It
is a fight for the future of our country.”

The drainage system in Ado-Ekiti, the Ekiti state capital, is
nothing to write home about, NAIJ.com findings have
revealed.


Our correspondents in the state discovered that there were a
lot of dirts in the drainages seen around as it looked like they
had not cleaned them in a really long while.

A move around other parts of the state capital proved also that
the drainage has been abandoned in the state for quite a while.
Check out photos from the drainages in the state capital below:

M ichael Wetkas, a detective with the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission (EFCC), on Tuesday, narrated how Senate
President Bukola Saraki allegedly used fictitious names to
launder billions of naira.


Testifying against the senate president at the Code of Conduct
Tribunal (CCT), the EFCC detective also claimed that Saraki’s
personal account at GTB had an inflow of about N4 billion
between 2005 and 2013.
“When the defendant was governor of Kwara state between
2003 and 2011. The commission received several petitions
from various groups. One of the petitioners was Kwara
Freedom Network. They brought several petitions all bordering
on abuse of office by the defendant, misappropriation of public
fund and money laundering.
“Sometime in 2014 the then executive chairman of the EFCC,
Ibrahim Lamorde received intelligence reports of suspicious
transactions involving the defendant. He set up a team of
investigators. Our task was to investigate the intelligence
reports.

“The investigation report was reviewed by my team. In the
course of our investigation, we discovered that there were
several companies which were linked to the defendant. Some of
them include Carlisle Properties Investment Ltd, Skyview
Properties Ltd, LimKvars Ltd, and TIly-lie Ltd.



Some of the companies maintain accounts at Guaranty Trust
Bank (GTB), Zenith Bank, Access Bank, and other banks.
“From the investigation, it was discovered that the defendant
maintained three accounts at GTB.

The first account is a naira currency account; the second is a
US dollar account, and the third is a pound sterling account.
“The naira account was analyzed, and it was discovered that
between 2005 and 2013, the account had an in-flow of about
N4 billion. The major source of in-flow into the accounts was
loans taken from GTB within the period. The loans were about
N2.5 billion, and the other source of in-flows into the account
was massive lodgments by individuals. Other in flows into the
account were from the companies.


“It was discovered that money was used for the purchase of
property. The dollar account was also analyzed. The major
source of in-flow into the dollar account was Tily-lie Properties
Ltd, which was about $2m. Another source was from Bureau
de Change companies.

And the rest was cash lodgments by individuals. The cash in
the dollar account between 2009 and 2013 was $6m.

We
discovered that up to $3.4m was wired to American Express
Services Europe Limited, which was used to fund the
defendant’s American Express Service New York card account
number 374588216836009.

“The defendant wired over 1.5m pound sterling to Fortis Bank
for the purchase of property in the UK.
“After that, because of the suspicious in-flows into the
account, the bank (GTB) officials were invited.

The reason for the invitation of the officials was that some of the individuals
who were making the cash lodgment into the account were
bank officials. One Oluwa Tujimu reported to the commission.
From our of interactions with him, we discovered that some of
the lodgments were made through a superior at the bank, Bayo
Daudu, who was the relationship manager of the account. In
our interaction with Daudu, it was discovered the cash sums
were handed over to him by the defendant for lodgment in the
account.

According to Daudu, he goes to Kwara state government house
to collect the money from the defendant for lodgment into the
account at the GRA Ilorin branch of GTB.

“We discovered one name, Abdul Adama, who made
transaction 50 times into the account in a single day. The sum
was broken down to N600, 000 and N900,000, and was lodged
in the same day.

Subsequently, after that one Ubi made a lodgment on the same
day about 20 times in the same range of N600, 000 and N900,
000. We looked for Adama and invited him. He reported that
the cash sums were handed over to him by the defendant and
stated further that the cash sums that were lodge in by Ubi
into the same account were from the accused.

“Adama and Ubi were personal assistants to the accused
while he was governor.


Further investigations revealed that other individuals who
made lodgments into the account were fictitious.
“GTB said they had done the needful by reporting the
suspicious transactions to FIU.”

''IGBO INDIGENES IN ABUJA PITCH THEIR TENTS WITH APC
FOR ABUJA MUNICIPAL AREA COUNCIL''


Minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu has
asked Nigerians to unite for the overall good of the country.
Dr Onu made the request in Abuja yesterday, while leading
Igbo residents in Abuja to support the APC candidate for Abuja
Municipal Area Council, Abdullahi Candido and Lawrence
Onuchukwu.

Representative of the FCT Minister, Senator Isa Maina stressed
that Local Council Elections is the most important, as it relates
to governance at the grassroots.


He promised that the FCT Administration would support INEC
and security personnel to hold free and credible elections this
week’s Saturday.

Some power brokers in the Peoples Democratic Party are
plotting to counter an alleged plan by the current Chairman of
the PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff to transmute into the party’s
presidential candidate in 2019.


There is a belief within the party that Sheriff and Ekiti State
Governor, Ayodele Fayose, are planning to jointly run for the
presidency in 2019.

A reliable source within the party told Punch correspondents
that Fayose backed Sheriff for the chairmanship position
because he (Fayose) had plans to be Sheriff’s running mate in
the 2019 presidential election.

Two weeks ago, Sheriff, a former Governor of Borno State, had
said that God “used Fayose to make me chairman.”
Already, the PDP, which is in control of only two northern
states (Gombe and Taraba), has zoned the presidency to the
North in 2019.

A member of the Board of Trustees of the party from the
North-East who spoke on condition of anonymity, said there
was no way both men would be allowed to fly the party’s
ticket.

The source, a party man of several years standing, said, “This
is a joke of the century. These two are controversial. Sheriff
has not even been allowed into the party fully.

“Now, they are saying he wants to be President. It isn’t
possible. That will signify the death of the party as millions
would either defect or go and form another party.”

A reliable source within the party said some party chiefs were
bothered by Sheriff and Fayose’s close relationship. In recent
times, both men have attended several social events together
including the wedding of Fayose’s niece in Lagos on Saturday.


He said, “Sheriff is rich but he is not the richest northern
politician in the PDP. He does not have the backing of the
northern elements in the PDP given the fact that he is still quite
new in the party. Sheriff’s tenure is meant to end by May but
there is a plot to elongate his tenure till 2018 and in the
process, gain control of the party structure.

“He will then resign and run for the presidency but we will not
allow him.”

The source said, “Already, supporters of Governor Ibrahim
Dankwambo of Gombe State and former FCT Minister, Bala
Mohammed, are spoiling for a fight as both governors also
have presidential ambitions. In the current dispensation, the
governors are two of the most influential PDP politicians from
the North.


“Fayose has obviously miscalculated. He is going in October
2018 and his immunity will end seven months before Buhari’s
tenure ends. With the way he has been attacking President
Muhammadu Buhari, I don’t know how he will survive without
his immunity within that period. He thinks his support for
Sheriff will endear him to northern politicians but they are not
happy with him with the way he has been attacking Buhari.”
Two weeks ago, the South-West chapter of the party had
declared its support for the North to retain the PDP’s national
chairmanship position and endorsed Senator Buruji Kashamu
as its zonal leader.


Another source, a senior party man, told Punch correspondent
that the endorsement of Sheriff was a ploy to ensure that he
remained as the chairman till 2018.

The source who is a member of the PDP Ministers’ Forum, told
Punch correspondent that Fayose, Governor Nyesom Wike of
Rivers State and Kashamu were “taking members of the party
for granted”.

“Sheriff’s plan is to metamorphose from the chairman to the
presidential candidate and that was why Fayose brought him
in. Fayose, Wike and Buruji are the ones supporting Sheriff for
President. The North will get the presidency but their plan will
not work because Sheriff is not our candidate,” he said.


Why Fayose is backing Sheriff — Aide
However, Fayose’s Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi,
said Fayose was concerned with governance and thus had no
time to be scheming for 2019.

Adelusi said Fayose was supporting Sheriff because he wanted
the party to be strong ahead of the 2019 elections.

He said, “The governor is busy with the construction of three
legacy projects the New Oba Market; the flyover and the
airport. These are the three legacy projects. He has even said
repeatedly that he is not running for the Senate.

“His plan is to deliver the dividends of democracy. His support
for Sheriff is to stabilise the party so that the party can win
again in 2019. The party is almost in disarray due to the
exodus of many of the leaders to the APC. He supported a
national chairman that can re-engineer the party. His love for
Sheriff is based on the love he has for the party.”


S’West should produce chairman — Chieftain
A chieftain of the PDP in Ogun State, Mr. Fasiu Bakene, in an
interview with SUNDAY PUNCH, said the South-West should
produce the party chairman.

He stated, “The recent call by some members of the PDP from
the South-West pushing for the national chairman from the
North is nothing but for personal benefit of the major convener
of the meeting.

“Firstly, since 1998, the South-West had never produced the
party’s chairman. Secondly, the Senator Ike Ekweremadu
Committee had zoned the presidency to the North. Thirdly, it is
an attempt to arm-twist and get favour of the party’s national
chairman.”

Fayose bold enough to contest any office – Babatope
On his part, a Board of Trustees member of the PDP, Chief
Ebenezer Babatope, said that Fayose is qualified to emerge as
the vice-presidential candidate of the PDP.

Babatope, who spoke in a telephone interview with one of
Punch correspondents, on Saturday, said Fayose had yet to
make his rumoured ambition public.

The former Minister of Transport, however, said that it was the
turn of the South-West region to produce the next national
chairman of the PDP.

He said, “Governor Ayodele Fayose has not told anyone that
he wants to vie for the vice-presidential ticket of the PDP. He is
a bold politician, who would come out and contest for an office
he wishes to occupy. But so far, all is still in the realm of
speculation.

“The South-West wanted the position of the national chairman
of the PDP but former President Olusegun Obasanjo truncated
the aspiration because he wanted to become the PDP BoT
chairman.”

When asked if he was in contention for the PDP national
chairmanship, Babatope said he was not.


“I am not running for the PDP national chairmanship. But I will
support anyone from the zone to clinch the position. The
South-West zone deserves the position.
“If the North is producing the presidential candidate, the
South-West should have the national chairmanship position”
he said.

Babatope said the vice-presidential ticket of the PDP would be
up for grabs in 2019 while that of the national chairmanship is
a pressing issue.


“When we reach the river we would cross it. The vice-
presidential ticket would be vied for in 2019 but the national
chairmanship post is a pressing issue,” Babatope said.

1. Inadequate voter education: The electoral umpire has a
major task to carry out educating the voters on the dos and
don’ts before, during and after elections. There must be a
conscious effort to reach the voters physically to demonstrate
and educate them on the need to carry out their franchise
within the ambit of the law.


2. Failure of the justice system: A situation where politicians
who have been indicted for electoral violence in the past are
still working freely till this day tend to promote impunity among
the political class, who has developed the mindset that they
can get away with violent acts during the electioneering period.
There is a need to look into the justice system to fashion out
ways to prosecute electoral offenders.


3. Unemployment: Majority of the mass number of youths who
are unemployed are a ready made army in the hands of
unscrupulous politicians. The desperation of the political class
to grab or retain power by all means is consistent with the
desperation of some of the unemployed youths to survive at all
cost.


4. Corruption: Corruption is a menace that has eaten deep in
virtually all strata of the Nigerian society. Indeed, the electoral
system is not free from this menace as monies constantly
change hands during electioneering period to induce, silence or
influence the process as the case may be.


5. Lack of internal democracy in political parties: Nigerian
political parties have failed in their primary duty to re-orientate
politicians within their fold on the need to play by the rules.
Worst still, electoral violence is consciously or unconsciously
encouraged at the party level when candidates emerge for the
main elections. This is due to the flawed processes instituted
internally by the parties.


6. Inadequate security: The Nigerian security agencies are
most times overwhelmed by the spate of political violence that
has been witnessed in the society over time. Several media
reports have detailed how security personnel were on ground
when these acts were committed, but look the other way
because of their limitations in terms of their numbers or tools
they need to carry out their duties effectively.


7. Misinterpretation of politics: Quite a lot of people in the
Nigerian society believe that violence in politics is a norm. And
they have unfortunately, gotten accustomed to the violence
that spring up during the electionnering period. In-fact, many
youths who are recruited into the private armies of politicians,
already have the mindset that their duty is to cause mayhem,
foment trouble, intimidate voters a d engage in a brawl with
political opponents. This kind of mindset clearly shows that
politics have been greatly misunderstood by the political class,
the large section of the public and party followers.


8. Poverty: The mass poverty in Nigeria is capable of turning a
decent man into a beast within a twinkle of an eye. The political
class in the country are aware of this fact, and they use it to
their advantage, knowing that getting people on their side is not
a big deal, so far they can flash the cash. It is also the norm to
influence voters’ decisions with cash and gifts in order to gain
their support.


9. Lack of democratic culture: Decades of military rule has
affected the psyche of the average Nigerian and indeed
Nigerian politicians. Indeed, many are still struggling to come
to terms that we are now practicing democracy. Lack of
democratic culture is evident in all the stages of the
electioneering period from internal party wrangling, to
campaign rallies, to political debates and to the interactions
between politicians and the public. Efforts need to be made by
civil society groups to instill democratic culture in the Nigerian
populace.


10. Lack of integrity from electoral umpires: A situation where
the electoral umpire clearly show bias for one group over
another is a recipe for political violence. Over time, those
whose duties are to conduct a free and fair have been at the
fore front of electoral malpractices, which in turn results to civil
disturbances by political parties that have been cheated. The
onus is on electoral umpires to ensure the electoral process is
credible in order to eliminate the constant cases of violence
that is now associated with elections.

– Embattled Ekiti PDP secretary, Tope Aluko said Governor
Fayose was running away from his shadows

– Reliving his encounter with security and anti-graft agencies,
he accused the Ekiti government of betraying him

– The Ekiti state government accused Aluko of turning himself
into tools in the hands of the APC

The whistle-blower on the alleged rigging of the June 21, 2014
governorship election in Ekiti State, Dr. Tope Aluko said he is
still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and
secretary of the party in the state.

Tope Aluko, ex-ally to Gov Fayose claimed the Ekiti election
was rigged
Speaking in Ado-Ekiti, the state capital on Wednesday, March
30, Aluko said Governor Ayodele Fayose is only running away
from his shadows following his (Aluko’s) startling revelations
on how the June 21, 2014 gubernatorial elections in the state
was rigged, This Day reports.


The embattled Ekiti PDP secretary had on a Channels
Television programme on January 31, alleged that Fayose got
the sum of $37 million to use the military to rig the state’s
governorship election which returned him as governor of the
state.


Aluko said: “ The APC has been petitioning me and it came as a
rude shock to me when the government (Ekiti state
government) said that I’m Judas. They are the Judas anyway,
because they betrayed me. I am still a member of the Peoples
Democratic Party.


According to him, the petition which landed him in custody was
written by the APC and he spent 12 days in the custody of the
Department of State Services (DSS), five days with the police
and another five days with Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC) operatives.

“ During the interrogations, I was asked so many questions and
I answered truthfully. I gave them the answers, because I said
I wanted to do restitution and that is what I’ve done.

“ So if Lere is now saying that somebody is a Judas. It is Lere
that is the Judas. I know what transpired between me and Lere
but I won’t say it here, and Governor Fayose, if he is running
away from his shadows that is his problem ,” he added.


Earlier, the Ekiti state government had accused Aluko of
allowing the APC use him, saying he is making millions from
the opposition in a bid to remove Governor Fayose.

The special assistant to the Ekiti state governor on public
communications and new media, Lere Olayink, accused Aluko
of feeding the police and the DSS with lies against the PDP.

He said: “ Aluko and his likes can continue to run from pillar to
post. All their efforts will come to naught. Like the Biblical
Judas, we will all live to see how those treating him like their
man Friday will dump him .”


Several development have followed Aluko’s confession about
the rigging of Ekiti election which include the alleged invasion
of the state House of Assembly by DSS operatives and arrest
of some lawmakers who were detained for days and later
released.

The Ekiti state government recently raised an alarm over an
alleged plot of the APC to destabilize the state.


Lere said armed policemen from Abuja have already invaded
the state to begin arresting PDP leaders, top government
officials and members of the state House of Assembly, an
aftermath of the failure of the DSS to coerce members of the
state assembly to impeach Fayose.
