Gov Mimiko Plans To Eliminate Me, Dep. Gov. Tells Sahara Reporters

The Deputy Governor of Ondo State, Ali Olanusi who defected to APC leaving Governor Mimiko at PDP, has accused the Governor of planning to eliminate him. Olanusi said this exclusively to Sahara Reporters.

It was also gathered that some thugs were arrested yesterday at the Government House for attacking the Dep. Governor. Police were called him and the thugs were whisked away, but were released in no time on the order of Governor Mimiko, Sahara Reporters states. Read the full report below.

Agents of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) of the Ondo State Police Command on Wednesday arrested some thugs who recently attacked Deputy Governor Ali Olanusi in Akure, a police source told SaharaReporters.

The source disclosed that the seven thugs were arrested in a chalet inside Government House as they reportedly were planning another attack on the deputy governor, who recently broke with Governor Olusegun Mimiko and defected from the PDP to the APC.

Our source, who asked not to be named because of the "sensitivity of the case," also stated that the hoodlums had been released on the orders of Governor Mimiko, who pressured the Ondo State Commissioner of Police, Isaac Eke.

“The thugs were arrested inside the government VIP chalet where they were planning to coordinate another attack on the Deputy governor,” said the police source.

He added: “A senior police officer from the SARS department led the team of the officers that effected the arrest of the thugs inside the Government House, VIP chalet. But, unfortunately, they have been released on the direct orders of the governor who put pressure on the state Commissioner of Police to quickly release them.”

SaharaReporters exclusively obtained the names of the arrested suspects who are mostly known by their street nicknames in Akure: Dada (Alias Bullet), ‎Aperi, Dele Origbe, Asin, Akin Iroko, Opejole, Ojule.

Our source said the suspected attackers are household names in the remote area of Oke Aro in Akure.

Earlier today, a member of a faction of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) confirmed the arrest of the thugs, telling SaharaReporters that the thugs were well known members of a PDP killer squad.

"I knew those guys very well, especially the one bearing ‘Aperi.’ They are Mimiko's boys. Those guys are on the payroll of the governor. They use exotic cars and have big houses inside the Alagbaka GRA based on the sponsorship of the governor.”

He added that the governor always used the thugs to threaten ‎his political opponents in the state. “One of those guys eliminated the son of a popular Akure union leader," the PDP factional leader revealed.

Another source in the Government House confirmed the brief detention of the suspects, but added that not all of them were caught inside the government chalet. He said two of the thugs were arrested outside the chalet.

"They were waiting for the governor, when the police van drove inside the governor's compound and immediately arrested them.” The source also confirmed that the governor intervened to have the suspects released.

Shortly after the attack on him, Deputy Governor Ali Olanusi exclusively told SaharaReporters that Governor Mimiko was planning to eliminate him.

Meanwhile the Ondo State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the state police boss, Isaac Eke, of being unduly biased by releasing the hoodlums arrested yesterday for attacking the deputy governor.

OIL BONUS: GEJ GETS $200M AS 'KICKBACK' MONTHLY?

By huhuonline.com




The motivation behind President Goodluck Jonathan unwavering support for the corrupt and incompetent Deziani Allison Madueke as oil minister may have unraveled, as Goodluck Jonathan is alleged to be receiving about $200 million as monthly kick -back of

the country's oil earnings as president.
Wikileaks has revealed that this kick-back tradition was perfected by President Obasanjo`s administration. According to the kick-back arrangement, NNPC set aside USD 1.00 per barrel of Nigerian oil sold as a special offer from the coffers of the Nigeria National Petroleum Commission (NNPC) to the President. 

Nigeria has produced about 2.17 million barrels per day of oil at a higher oil price of around $90 pb although it is contending with the recent slide in production to 1.8 million bpd.

Huhuonline.com http://Huhuonline.com/ sources say that Maitama Sule, former Nigerian ambassador to the United Nations (1979-1983) and confidant of President Umaru Yar'Adua, recently disclosed that former First Lady Turai Yar'Adua is involved in corrupt practices, and especially real estate fraud.

Sule is said to have also exempted former President Yar'Adua from corruption as he was said to have severally turned down monetary offerings to the tune of $60 million, by the NNPC despite the fact that NNPC allocated USD 1.00 per barrel of Nigerian oil sold as a type of personal payment or "kickback" to the President. 

While Yar'Adua reportedly ordered his "share" to be deposited into the nation's treasury, Sule claimed that the First Lady pocketed her husband's reported share, while Senate President David Mark and House Speake, Dimeji Bankole pocketed USD 0.50/barrel, totalling $30 million. 

In light of the possibility that Obasanjo could have stolen billions of dollars under this arrangement, Sule  said that Yar'Adua told him that he may use this information, perhaps one day in the near future, to indict Obasanjo for corruption. 

The problem however, according to Sule, rested in the fact that Yar'Adua recognized that if he were to pursue Obasanjo, he may unwittingly subject his wife and close advisers to greater scrutiny, and risk his own political careerl.

Complete Text of Wikileaks Naratives, reads:
NIGERIA: NORTHERN SUPPORT FOR YAR'ADUA WANING, THOUGH TEMPERED BY FEAR 

SUMMARY: Maitama Sule (strictly protect), former Nigerian ambassador to the United Nations (1979-1983) and confidant of President Umaru Yar'Adua, averred that the northern political elite is increasingly apprehensive about Yar'Adua's health and his capacity to continue to govern, and 

is fearful the North may lose the presidency to the South if Yar'Adua dies, although we note that there are other factors at play on this issue besides Yar'Adua's health, particularly if the Supreme Court calls for a new election.  

While Sule believes that President's performance during his first year in office has suffered due to his ailing health, he assessed Yar'Adua has succeeded in disentangling and distancing himself from former President Obasanjo.  Sule informed that Yar'Adua wants to further reduce Obasanjo's influence both within the Villa and the National Assembly.  Consequently, Sule remarked, Yar'Adua intends to replace current Chief of Staff, and Obasanjo-loyalist, Abdullahi Mohammed.  (Nigerian press reported May 30 that Mohammed has resigned, and will officially vacate office June

2.)Sule confided that some influential northerners are currently pressuring former National Security Adviser, Aliyu Muhammad Gusau, to consider taking over as Chief of Staff.  

Also, Sule alleged that Obasanjo is working to bribe the Supreme Court to overturn President Yar'Adua's April 2007 election.  While claiming 

that First Lady Turai Yar'Adua is heavily involved in corrupt activities, Sule insisted that President Yar'Adua is committed to remaining personally untainted by corruption. 

To that end, Sule asserted, President Yar'Adua recently turned down $60 million, which had been offered to him as the President's personal "share" of Nigeria's monthly oil earnings.  Although Yar'Adua, according to Sule, allegedly ordered his "share" to be deposited into the nation's treasury, Sule also said First Lady Turai pocketed $60 million while Senate President David Mark and House Speaker Dimeji Bankole each pocketed $30 million.  We still contend however, that it is impossible for Yar'Adua not to know about his wife's illicit activity even if he is not personally accepting bribes or engaging in such activity.  END SUMMARY. 

¶2. (S//NF) Maitama Sule (strictly protect), former Nigerian ambassador to the United Nations (1979-1983) and well-known confidant of President Umaru Yar'Adua spoke with PolOff at his Kano residence May 15 (see Ref A for Sule biographical information).  Sule lamented the northern political elite remains increasingly apprehensive about Yar'Adua's health. 

Whereas earlier health-related predictions of Yar'Adua's prognosis had been relatively positive, current estimates, Sule observed, paint a somber picture of the President's strength, and consequently, his capacity to continue to govern.  With the prospect of Yar'Adua's death while still in 

office figuring prominently in the minds of many in the North, Sule remarked that the North fears it may inadvertently forfeit its turn to hold the presidency.  Such an eventuality, Sule bemoaned, would impair the North's ability to retain influence and help chart a more positive course for northerners, especially after eight years of what northerners deem Obasanjo's injurious influence on the North. 

¶3. (S//NF) Sule believes that Yar'Adua has succeeded in distancing himself from Obasanjo, and appears more committed to attenuating Obasanjo's influence within the Villa.  To that end, Sule said, Yar'Adua plans to reshuffle the cabinet to replace Obasanjo-loyalists within the Villa.  In particular, Sule noted that the northern political elite is working to convince former National Security Adviser Aliyu Muhammad Gusau to rebuff entreaties by Ibrahim Babangida to aid him in a return to power, and instead, accede to the position of Yar'Adua's Chief of Staff, which is currently held by Obasanjo-loyalist Abdullahi Mohammed.  (Nigerian press reported May 30 that Mohammed resigned with effect from June 2.  Gbolade Osinowo, Senior Special Assistant to President Yar'Adua will act as Chief of Staff until a replacement is announced.)

Also the greater Mega port Harcourt city project ----after taking away land owned by poor farmers with no adequate compensation in the bid of building a mega port Harcourt city, till date no hut has been built there, and so much fund has sank into it......too many to mention. My worry remains the cries of innocent people awaiting trial still locked up in cell since the closure of court by Ameachi......

emmykk:
We are not surprise this is as expected from the unpatrotic son of Niger Delta.

1.Governor ameachi closed rivers state court for over one year even till date and now he want something that will linger to supreme court to help him..when he cant respect NJC decision of appointment of rivers state chief judge.

2.issues of jurisdition of the abuja tribunal will first of all be drag,before you know we are in may29.

3.after swearing in nyesom wike as governor the case may last for 4yrears for judgement.or u remember fayose winnings may be repeated

4.should the election be cancelled wike will be running for such seat from govt house.the contacts,the billions and the foot soldiers new caretakers guys wil be at his beck and call.

Conduct the election 10times wike will down dakuku,cause we hate you ameachi,we hate you ameachi.

You forgot that yeye! mono rail project that is a far cry of what Fashola's doing in Lagos!! with too much unjustifiable fund that has sank into it.........I tire for the man true!

ozoigbondu:
lt was expected Amaechi closed the courts for more than a year during his madness.No matter what happens Rivers state is for PDP and Wiked Wike has won even the cankaterous Amaechi knows that if elections are held one million times in rivers state PDP and Wike will sweep it one million times.

Good people of Rivers did l lie

My brother you no lie. Ameachi is nothing but a frustrated man. The cries of the innocent ones awaiting trial for over a year without justice since Ameachi locked up the court is hunting him......

I don't get what security reason. Since the Victory of Wike in Rivers State its been celebration !!!

Omooba77:
The Rivers Election Petition Tribunal has relocated to Abuja for security reasons.

This is contained in a statement made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Wednesday in Abuja.

The statement was issued and signed by Mrs Deborah Musa, the Secretary of the tribunal.

The statement said that the relocation was approved by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa.

The statement said Justice Ishaq Bello, the acting Chief Judge of the FCT High Court, approved the FCT High Court, Apo, as the secretariat and trial court for the tribunal.

What this Nonsense talk. Ameachi should be talking about opening the court he closed for over a year now.
Lots of people are stuck in cell , some are even innocent waiting court trial, no way because proud Ameachi locked up the Judicial system for over a year. What does this Idiot of a am think he is. With so much fund put into his frauded mono rail project that cannot justify the amount the huge claims in the books. He is yet to explain what his problem is.......he is going the ways of a frustrated man.

Yes the properties were abandoned as at then and claimed by those who were alive to take so whats the heck. Leave the past and stop this hate talk.

Imposter! you have only proved to me that you are not Ibo from the way you sound- you have given yourself away. You are not from the SS/SE region. Only trying to preach hate and you have failed. Poor try. Thunder fire you there one million times!!

Respect is deep from the mind not all those showmanship.
Lots of whites dont bend down to greet but you see a lot of respect in their daily living with one another.
Respect is a thing of respect. There is a difference between respect and being servile. In that Pics, Ameachi looks servile and not respectful.

Good more oil for Nigeria !!!

codenameSTYNO:
I witnessed this during my stay in Rivers, I even took part in the building of a model primary school in Omuiheuchi-Aluu Ikwerre Local Government Area and saw numerous model primary schools across the state

Those were Federal Government Project. People erroneously attributed to Ameachi

that ijaws and ikwerres hate igbos is a living reality and not the past.

shachris:
the monorail is 2.6 kilometer long. I gave you the link. go and check out the costs of monorails worldwide.

monorails are the best trasnportation means any government can think of. Just that they are very expensive.

Amaechi started something germane by building the monorails. No matter the amount of roads you contruct in PH, ph will always be congested because of the amoount of cars plying PH road. that was the reason for the monorails. YOu don't do the same thing over and over again and expect different results.

I hear you. That mono rail is only 0.0001& complete.....only about 20 standing slabs which is about 3 bustops drives. Mono rail that's is not even up to mile 1 bus-stop from Lagos Bus stop in town ph. For those of you us in Lagos, the said mono rail is only as long as from Festac 2nd gate (Agoju) to mile 2 Bus-stop and its only yet completed. only having standing slabs .....and so much money is been recorded in the books with next to nothing to show for it.

lyntiffany:
your so on point dear but what can one do? he's tenure has passed let's focus on the new govt.

Thanks Bros. I hear you!

shachris:
oluku Where you go? I Don details find you since...lol.

oya tell me the full story of what happened. something that was televised is half truth abi?


Please in all those your mumu ramblings, never bring my igbo people into it. So it's now that you people want to claim igbo abi? what happened during the war? Why did you sabotage us? Why did you still our properties? Why do you till now claim that ikwere and other igbo speak part of Ph is not igbo?

If someone that fights a presidency and wins in an afonja in your village, then my brother your village is just a clown of cowards.

we are waiting for you. try anything and it would start raining drones in those you bamboo houses.

Its called Eastern Zone! SS/SE forget the past and move on we are one. Just because one group was ready to wage a war when others were not ready don't make us different people.

ibisko04:
Amechi deserves celebration from you guys.
He is a lion as you called him in your original post.
He is one of the most foresighted fellow from the Niger Delta region.
When the history of Nigeria political struggle is to be written, Amechi is one of the principal characters.

No probs collect am we don dash una!

abduljabbar4:
Bastard tribalist. You thinki Amaechi is your slave? I can't take 2/10 of what Amaechi suffered without decamping to a better party. Idiots

Proofs that you are not from Niger Delta but impersonating. lol! No offence

abduljabbar4:
From what I understand about these people saying amaechi betrayed Gej, they are just extremly hypocrital.

I went through a thread on nairaland around 2013 many people were mocking amaechi when peg shouted at him publicly. We were all alive when the police blocked his entrance into the govt house. We were all alive when his plane was grounded with heavily armed soldiers surrounding him. He won chairman of governors forum but gej said 16 is greater than 19 in favour of the same northerner you people are making noise about. We were all alive when he was suspended from pdp for no good reason so its stup1d to say that he betrayed his brother. He went to APC for good and he will handsomely be rewarded with love, trust and appointment.
You can go to hell. Were you not mocking him when peg was bullying him? Mtchew

Keep your thoughts.

BushidoBlue:
This is exactly what the writer is trying to tell you and which I am expounding; as a citizen of a nation, you have the right to vote whoever you choose based on a certain set of sentiments; be they tribal or religious as you claim, or economic viability of the candidate's manifesto. That is exactly what politics is about, the citizens make up their minds to vote a candidate based on his campaign promises if he is a new candidate, or based on his performance as an incumbent.

Remember that in 2011 Jonathan did not win a single northern state. Where as in 2015 Jonathan lost the south west states which made him lose the elections.

I do not know why there is a lack of expression of voting pattern in the north.

Finally you still came back to say in your last statement, that we owe no explanation to anyone for who we vote for, isn't that what happened in the SE? They also don't owe anyone any explanation for who they chose to vote for. However it becomes worrisome when the trend is to deny people their right of choice as you said in your first sentence. Respect their choice as they have respected yours is the message.

For now this is what we got. Perhaps subsequent ones will be based on your suggesting which I agree should be the norm I think circumstances made this one so, the society we are in
