This is very bad. But the worst is the section of the who were busy reporting that the lady was killed by the Fulani herdsmen as if they were at the incident scene. The aim was only to instigate hatred against a particular tribe. From the statement of the driver, those would probably be armed rubbers or kidnappers. And I will not be surprised that one of those in the entourage masterminded the crime. So it's disturbing how people rushed to report about the people who did it as if they have information that we don't have.

Amuocha:
Lai again

waiting de guy do you?

We need a minister that can focus on electricity and solve the issue. 3 ministries for Fashola is obviously too much

You can say that again.

It's only proper for those ministers who pushed the economy out of recession and moved it further to the part of growth, to come back for the next level target.

But it will make more sense for mr President to unbundle fashiola's ministry to enable him concentrate and deliver more in works ministry where he delivered commendably in the first tenure.

There were strong indications last night that between 12 and 15 ex-ministers will join President Muhammadu Buhari’s cabinet. It was learnt that the ex-ministers’ names are on the list which was reportedly submitted to Senate President Ahmed Lawan on Wednesday. But there was still a pall of uncertainty on the size of the cabinet.

The President has the constitutional right to have a 36-man or a 42-man cabinete. The President is said to have decided to retain some of the ex-ministers on merit.

Those speculated to be on the list last night are ex-Ministers of Justice and AGF Abubakar Malami ( SAN); Adamu Adamu( Education); Hadi Sirika ( Aviation); Zainab Ahmed (Finance); Aisha Abubakar (Women Affairs); Lai Mohammed ( Information); Babatunde Fashola (Works, Power and Housing); Rotimi Amaechi (Transportation); Mohammed Musa Bello( FCT); Suleiman Adamu Kazaure (Water Resources); Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu (Science & Technology); Solomon Dalung (Sports & Youths Development) and others.

Although Dr. Ibe Kachikwu, former governors Rauf Aregbesola (Osun), Niyi Adebayo (Ekiti) and Akinwumi Ambode (Lagos) were also being speculated last night to have made the list, none of our sources could confirm such speculations.

The sources confirmed that some ex-ministers, such as Adebayo Shittu (Communications) and Okechukwu Enelamah (Trade and Industry) lost the battle to return to the cabinet.

A government source said: “I know that the two women ex-ministers are returning to the cabinet. We have a few others who have really added value that the President will be retaining.

“It is not a total overhaul, which you are anticipating. What the President promised was to leave sustainable legacies in his second term.” As of press time, it was difficult to ascertain whether or not the President of the Senate had received the ministerial list.

A principal officer of the National Assembly said “Lawan dropped a hint that he will receive the list on Wednesday”. Another source said: “I think the list is already with the Senate President and some officers but they said it will not be made public until Thursday.”

A source in the Presidency simply said: “All things being equal, the Senate will receive the list on Thursday morning. “ Lawan confirmed on Wednesday that the list of ministers will be out this week. President Buhari had promised to appoint into his cabinet those who would help him to implement his “Next Level” programmes.

Lawan spoke during plenary on Wednesday, following a Point of Order by Senator Albert Bassey Akpan (Akwa Ibom Northeast). Akpan, who spoke under personal explanation, prayed the Senate to mount pressure on Buhari to transmit the list to the chamber. The senator reminded his colleagues that the Senate would embark on its annual recess within the next two weeks. He stressed the need for Buhari to transmit the list before the recess.

Akpan said: “Mr. President, in view of the yearly long recess the Senate and the House of Representatives will embark upon in two weeks, there is need to urge President Muhammadu Buhari to forward the much expected ministerial list to the Senate for screening and confirmation. “This is very important because if such list is not made available for the required legislative attention before we embark on the long recess, there will be no ministers and, by extension, the federal cabinet for the President to work with till September.

“Making the list more urgent now from the President before our long recess, is the fact that if it is not made available, the concerted effort being made by both arms of government to return to the yearly budget cycle of January to December will be defeated.

“On this note, I call on the President of the Senate to inform President Muhammadu Buhari of the need for the ministerial list before we embark on recess.”

Lawan said: “Let me, on the strength of this motion, inform the Senate that the Executive arm of government is working very hard on the ministerial list. “In fact, the list, based on information at my disposal, will be forwarded to us by the President before the end of this week. “May I, therefore, appeal to us all to be ready to make the necessary sacrifice in terms of sufficient time to be spent in carrying out thorough screening and confirmation of appointments of the expected ministerial nominees.”

See who is talking. The same Timipere Sylva was governor of the same state for 8 years without functional airport, and he got mouth to talk.

Not for 8 but for 4 years.

Those fools taking the pictures with him are the most stupid set of Nigerians.

The prof was right in his view.

aboubkr:
Same PDP that loved the way APC members voted for Saraki and Ekweremadu against party directives in 2015 wants to probe its lawmakers for 'doing the right thing'.

It's because they take we the electorates for granted and assume us to having short memory.

Dammylink:
President Muhammad Buhari has signed the African Continental Free Trade Area Agreement. The signing has just taken place at the read more

That's a good and welcome development.

Corrosiveman:
I think Nigeria should just divide make this people go begin rule themselves cos it means that Nigeria would never progress since the cabals have taken politics as family Affair

Nigeria should divide because someone expressed an opinion. An opinion that is not different from what you people have been complaining against the manner of buhari's appointments, that's why you are expressing frustration. You will need to read a book that will guide you in knowing exactly what you want.

ejimatic:
. I have been vindicated..

You can say that again.

I think that the court has given the right judgment in this matter. I therefore urge all and sundry to go and lend a helping hand to the governor to develop the state.

We are all seated, everybody smiling as if the declaration will split the two into two for either candidates to govern. But the PDP contingents are smiling louder as if they know where the pendulum will swing. I hope it doesn't turn to tears afterwards which will make the pain more painful.

This is long over due. I am a buharist but I concur to this demand.

Osun state awaits!!! As proceedings about to commence here in supreme court.

garfield1:
In edo

Still quoting in pounds sterlings and calling Nigeria. How am I sure you are not referring to UK?

Francisayo:
What time are they starting the court proceeding?

Court opens by 8am but the case proceedings starts by 9 am.

Afamed:
When you are in Upper Iweka, you knew all that happened in Osun during the election.

Honestly I hardly understand some of those people.

WonderManly:
Since Gboyega Isiaka said his going to be the next governor by Friday 05/07/2019. I wish him congratulation in advance.

We wait and see, we are just few hours away from the reality.

No more legal fire works from lawyers. It's the turn of the judiciary or the judges to be specific to tell who the rightful governor of Osun state is.

As the battle between Gboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) comes to an end today, we bring you live updates of the proceedings. So stay tight.

Which kind useless headline is this, APC contractors? Is it APC contractors or the individuals who messed up the projects that should be talking about or are they people from different race and country and not Nigerians?

It's either they are exaggerating the work going on in Lagos state since Tinubu administration till date or there is something I am yet to understand.

By every measure, Lagos state should be smaller than my state Ebonyi in size and Ebonyi was just created in 1996 of yesterday. So if it could take the present governor less than four years to take concrete road round the whole nooks and crannies of the state even with the state paltry resources when compared with that of Lagos state, then I don't see why Lagos should not be competing with Dubai, California and other choice cities in the world with the kind of resources the state control and the numerous projects we keep hearing the state is executing in every administration.

I understand very much the peculiarities of the state especially as it has to do with its population which causes gridlock and as such will not allow for easy project execution. But these number of years is long enough for the state to have gone far above where it is presently. The fact that there are still a lot of bad roads in the state is very sickening, poor power supply, poor health sector, not still standard of education etc are all my worries.

We have surmounted bigger issues in the past and so we shall surmount this one as a nation.

If RUGA project didn't bring war and the suspension will bring war one must happen.

Imagining why the last looting failed.

Look at how fat this whale is

In all sincerity, is there any lady among your family that is near as beautiful as this woman? Or are you among those that publicly despise fat women but do everything possible to have them in your closest?

This woman's beauty is simply from another planet.
