PoliticsRe: People Of Daura, Buhari’s Hometown Are Dying Of Hunger – Emir Cries Out by coolscott(m):
bobnatlo:
The Emir of Daura, Dr. Umar Faruq Umar has declared that the people from the hometown of President Muhammadu Buhari are hungry and not getting enough from the Federal Government.

Umar stated this when he received the Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Dr. Audu Ogbeh at his Daura palace, on Monday.

He said, “Buhari by his nature will not influence the siting of any projects in Daura. But his Ministers who benefitted from his appointment should reciprocate by bringing developmental projects to Daura, his birthplace.

“It is a call to duty for the Ministers to make provision in their Ministry’s budget of ensuring that Daura benefitted immensely from Buhari administration. “If the Ministers failed to site any projects to Daura, they have betrayed the President and people of Daura.

Stop mixing facts with fiction to frame the current government

When did DSS prevent Fayose from entering the government house?

And when do DSS have the powers to disobey court orders, to the extent of refusing to release Elsaky and Dansuki single handedly ?


When did APC cheer DSS for evading the national assembly? was that not the reason for sacking him, You seem to forget that it was your PDP that did that back in 2014

Why don't you talk about his recent efforts to prevent the Choice of the current administration to head the EFCC ?
You are actually supporting what he said by what you have said here:
Iamgrey5:
And when do DSS have the powers to disobey court orders, to the extent of refusing to release Elsaky and Dansuki single handedly ?
If the DSS would not have the courage to disobey court orders single-handedly, of course they are doing it with the backing of the executive.
And we are not refusing to talk about the report provided by the DSS to the senate.
We just cannot say that because Daura's actions did not favour the executive in that instance, that he works for saraki and not the executive.

We cannot look at Magu's case and choose not to look at the other areas too...

i)Where Kanu was refused release on bail (that helped Kanu become popurlar)
ii) Where the DSS worked in the interest of Buhari by keeping Dasuki against court orders
iii) Where the DSS worked for Buhari and held El-Zarkzarki against the orders of the court.
iv) Where supreme court judges houses were illegally invaded (with the hope they would find something to justify the invasion afterwards)

We cannot look at one side and ignore the other. We must look at both sides and it becomes very hard to say that Daura works for Saraki.

Daura has broken the rules more brazenly for Buhari and the only incident that folks want to use as a basis for this wild claim is where he actually followed the rules and presented facts about Magu that Magu has not been able to prove not to be true.

Please, let us stop this. If more information comes out suggesting Daura worked for Dr. Saraki, we will tilt towards that believe.

For now, the only very tiny suggestion that there is any iota of correctness to this claim that the DSS boss worked for Saraki is how Saraki got wind of the attempt to arrest him.

But it was not the DSS that lay siege to his house. It was the police. And people like Saraki have information sources everywhere. So that tiny sliver of a possibility is not even strong enough for us to give it much attention.

For now, we see it for what has played out in public. It seems Mr. Daura has been sacked as a way to save face for the administration.

Infact the reverse is actually the case ibelieve saraki is actually planning to impeach Buhari instead
There is nothing wrong with some people wanting Saraki impeached.
And there is nothing wrong with Bukola Saraki and other senators wanting the president impeached.
These are all legal moves.

But trying to do it the way they did it in Benue state (in this same style) is just what Nigerians consider shameful.
In Benue state, they carried out the laughable act to the end and announced Ortom impeached


Here, they could not, and the backlash being great, they seem to have taken drastic measures to repair the self-inflicted damage.

from the way things are playing out I think the DG DSS is truly bukola saraki's man. but this goes to show that sarakl is a full blooded politician. I said it this is the man that would demystify jagaban. he was so clever to have done this. if oshibajo is acting on his own then this brings to crumbles the trust between the ACN and CPC. I think wat we are witnessing in Nigeria is our own version of game of thrones or house of cards. saraki is just one step ahead of them every time I am officially giving him the title THE JAGABAN SLAYER.

PoliticsTo Say That Lawal Daura Was Working For Saraki Today Doesn't Add Up by coolscott(op): 5:56pm On Aug 07, 2018
I say this because while the pandemonium was going on this morning, APC senators gathered elsewhere (it is reported) and were being urged on (actually, aggressively goaded, according to the report) to put the signatures behind a Saraki impeachment.

From this morning's events as they unfolded to us, the public... we logocalize that whoever was behind this was trying to synchronise the two activities to occur at the same time.

i). The prevention of the PDP senators from being present,
ii). and the carrying out of impeachment proceedings on Saraki,

It a little bit of a stretch to ask us to believe that Saraki got the DSS to work for him this morning, and at the same time got Oshiomole and Buhari loyalists within the senate to actively fall in with the plan.

PoliticsThe Error Of Jega by coolscott(op): 12:08pm On Aug 07, 2018
We all know the depths governance has continued to degenerate into in this country.

And we are all saddened by this.

It is already a long forgone conclusion that this era (occasioned by the kind of who acts as Nigerian leader today) is a regrettable error.

And this can be found in the humble turnaround by many who supported him (the president). Humble and embarrassing as they are aware they publicly invested themselves into ensuring the emergence of the error we experience today.

Indeed, no one could have stopped Buhari from becoming president except the rules, which seemed an opportunity provided by God our creator to save of from today's troubles without any fingers being pointed at anyone for attacking candidate Buhari in 2014/2015.

One of the new pre-requisites for every presidential candidate was the provision of their WASC certificates. This requirement is much lower for the presidency than for say the office of governors, which requires that the candidate be a graduate from a tertiary institution and no one had any candidate to target in mind when the pre-requisite to qualify as candidate was added.

But somehow, the press got to find out that candidate Buhari's WASC certificate was missing, and his failure to produce it became sensational drama within the polity.

The ruling party chose not to pursue the matter through the courts, not willing to destabilize the polity and nation.

Some individuals sued the candidate (and the INEC) to court on account of the candidate they let run, who according to INEC's own rules, did not qualify to run as candidate.

The last case against the president (which was not noticed until months after his occupation of office) was silently withdrawn by the prosecution, a lawyer, after he had previously spoken with courage that he was not afraid of the threats he received because it will be known who hurt him if anything should happen to his life.

Yes, he withdrew it silently in that matter where the fed government employed 13 SANs in response to the request for his WASC and has never spoken in public again.

We cannot tell how he was prevailed upon but there is one person that remained mum all through the saga, as if the ball was not in his court.

As if responsibility had not beckoned on him.

As if he had the right to not do what, without any recourse to any kind of analysis, was one of the very basic requirements of his job.


Like a bird who will not chirp.

Like a cat who will not meow.

Like a dog who will not bark,

and like a parrot who will not talk...

...professor Atehiru Jega stood on the stage with all spectators looking to him, but acted as if his crowd was on stage as he looked on to the crowd as a man would look on to the stage, waiting for the performance of the performer to begin.


Professor Atehiru Jega failed this country and everyone in it, when he mysteriously failed to follow the simple rules INEC itself had laid down for the qualification of candidates, and disqualify candidates that did not meet the rules or requirements.

Till today, what can he give as his reason for not doing a simple routine part of his job. I am sure there are many candidates that may have been rightly disqualified for one reason or the other.

However, he could not bring the strength or straightness of his perceived person to bear on what was a decision that had no other right or logical alternative other than to declare candidate Buhari as disqualified for not being able to meet its (INEC's) own minimum requirements for candidacy.

Professors are chosen for a reason for that job. It is assumed they have the work ethics, intellect and character to execute the job without fear or favour. If that was the assumption, we were all wrong because Jega really monumentally failed and perhaps should be ashamed of himself.

I say this because, if a journalist should suddenly ask him in an interview today, what his reasons were for not declaring the candidacy of Buhari void, I find it hard to imagine any kind of coherent response he will come up with.

If Nigeria has gone backwards today, we might blame the voters that voted for president Buhari; we might blame the big wigs like Obj that threw their weight around him; we might blame anybody, even GEJ for being too for not being hard on corruption and losing Nigerian's trust, but there is no one we can singularly blame as much as we can singularly blame professor Atehiru Jega

If you believe that there's no difference between PDP and APC just because APC is about to use Akpabio against PDP in the upcoming election please tell me the difference between SGT Rogers and Akpabio.

For the benefit of those who were young during Abacha era or forgotten about the role he played later on during their trial:

Sgt Rogers was a member of the killer squad set up by Major Al-Mustapha to deal with the "enemy" of Abacha government.

It was Sgt Rogers that pulled the trigger that killed Hajia Kudirat Abiola and near snuffed life out of late Baba Adesanya.

Guess what happened during trial? Prof Yemi Osinbajo used him as a prosecution witness to nail Gen Bamaiyi, Sabo and Al-Mustapha the bigger killers.

Did the action of Osinbajo rubbished his integrity as a senior lawyer? Never. Did the action questioned the genuinity of Tinubu as Governor of Lagos state? Absolutely not.

What about OBJ under which these killers were behind bars for nearly 15 years? Never.

Osinbajo used lesser evil to nail the real devil.

Those who are attacking the integrity of Mr President because of intending defection of Akpabio to APC are daft, stupid and foolish.

Some of you are nothing but bloody hypocrites. When the cold blooded murderer, Bukola Saraki and his killer squad left APC it was celebrated by you guys but as soon APC picked the lesser rogue to destroy whatever PDP stand to gain tears and sorrow became you guys middle name.
So how do you determine which is a lesser evil?

Founder and General Overseer of the Zion Heritage and Miracle Ministries, Bishop Okwudili Eze, has revealed what God told him about 2018.

The cleric also made predictions concerning mysterious assassinations of political heavyweights in the country. He talked about a clash between the Governor of Kaduna State and a former Governor of Lagos State and national leader of the APC, Bolaji Ahmed Tinubu.

He also warned that the Governor of Abia State, Okezie Ikpeazu, may lose his mantle as the governor of the state to the APC.

PoliticsRe: How Kenneth Okonkwo Killed His Political Ambition. by coolscott(m): 5:53pm On Aug 04, 2018
Deprofessional:
Kenneth Okonkwo, popularly known as Andy, is a man loved by all in the south east and among the Igbos.

His popularity came from his role in his debut film 'living in bondage'

I for one prefer watching any film that featured Andy because of his true to life acting as well as the story line of most of his films.

All these popularity and love are gradually coming to an end owing to the support Andy has for President Buhari and his unguarded utterances against his people.

Mr Andy has shown by his words that he is far from his people.

Whoever adviced him to drop Buhari's name in his infamous speech made a very big mistake. It has done an irreparable damage to whatever ambition he has.

Mr Andy seen not to know that the Igbos have suffered greatly under Buhari's government.

Mr Andy insulted the sensibilities of the Igbos when he stated that the Igbos will wander in the wilderness for 8 years if they fail to vote Buhari.

Noting can be more insulting than this. This has led the youths of Enugu state declaring that Andy will never be governor in Enugu state.

Mr Andy failed to learn from the predicament of former governor of Anambra state Mr Ngige.

Mr Andy failed to understand that Buhari hates the Igbos both in words and actions and has chosen to parlay with a known enemy. Thus, the igbos in Enugu state have chosen to kill his political ambition.
I have long seen him present to us (the world) a persona that is fake.

And his smiles always seem to just sit on his face.

had been ordered by a court presided over by the state Chief Judge, Justice Adam Onum
not to parade himself as speaker of the house as a result of the fact he had been impeached,
then it is in line that contempt proceedings have been served on the former speaker for contempt of court
on account of his actions of Monday morning (30th July, 2018).
http://dailypost.ng/2018/07/30/benue-impeachment-drama-ikyange-okefe-others-face-contempt-court/


He currently is to appear in court to explain why an order for his committal to prison should not be made against him for his contempt, but the question really is...

If he committed an act of criminality or illegality (which from every apparent occurrence he did) who aided and abetted him?

The answer is not only clear but also visible in video evidence broadcast nationally on Channels TV and elsewhere: The Nigerian police.

So is there any reason why they should not be with decisive determination sued to the fullest extent for the actions they took?

Is that not the only way we can discipline them into being protectors of the law instead of the political thugs they are degenerating themselves into?

Will that not lead to all of us finding out who gave the order(s) for those policemen to be deployed and to act as political thugs on that fateful morning and be party to that act void of any kind of dignity or honour?

Now in Nigeria, we feel a sense of urgency to rescue Nigeria from where it is one way or the other. A coup will not be good and is not on the table but I feel very sure a civilian coup is being plotted against Buhari by the same guys who mastered and understood the art of military coups.

They are in the top hierrachy of the political chess game in Nigeria today, and have turned their backs against him.
