Nigeria’s football legend, Jay-Jay Okocha, who was one of the regular faces in SuperSport studio for commentaries in the just concluded 2018 FIFA World Cup held in Russia, dropped a shade for Nigerian leaders in general.

He was asked in an interview with Super Sport soon after the World Cup final match was over of how he sees the Croatian President and it seem to be that the football star slammed the Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari in his response.

He replied saying that the beautiful female President, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović is definitely an attractive and young one unlike some presidents who refuse to leave the seat emphasizing that ‘We (Nigerians) are used to Presidents that never want to go away’.

The Secretary to the Government of the
Federation, Boss Mustapha, has distanced his
office from the statement issued by a Senior
Special Assistant to President Muhammadu
Buhari on Political Matters, Gideo Sammani,
announcing the appointment of a former Borno
governor, Ali Modu Sheriff, as the Director-
General of Buhari 2019 Presidential Support
Committee.
Sammani had, on Friday, announced that Sheriff
would lead a 35-member body, as well as a 10-
member National Advisory Committee and a
five-member national patrons with Buhari as the
grand patron.
The committee is different from Buhari
Campaign Organisation, which recently
appointed the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi
Amaechi, as its Director-General and lawyer
Festus Keyamo as the spokesperson and
director for communications.
Mustapha, in a statement on Saturday, asked
Nigerians to disregard the announcement by
Sammani.
A release issued by the spokesperson of the
SGF, Lawrence Ojabo, said “the attention of the
Office of the Secretary to the Government of
the Federation has been drawn to documents in
circulation in print and social media purportedly
issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Political Matters in the Presidency
as public notice, announcing the names of
certain individuals and appointing them into
different roles under the BUHARI 2019
PRESIDENTIAL SUPPORT COMMITTEE, as well
as soliciting for support”.
Ojabo added “it has become imperative to
clarify to all Nigerians and in particular to APC
members that the said documents are
unauthorised, misleading and should therefore
be totally disregarded”.
The SGF’s spokesperson said appropriate
“administrative measures are being put in place
to ensure that such lapse does not recur in
future”.

National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic
Party, Uche Secondus, has vowed that the party
will probe the current administration of
President Muhammadu Buhari when it takes
over in 2019.
Secondus said if the party wins the presidential
election in 2019, Buhari-led administration will
be probed on the way it spent the $322m looted
funds recovered from the late dictator, General
Sani Abacha.
The PDP Chairman said this on Friday in
Abeokuta during the meeting he held with the
state executive and party faithful in the state.
The Rivers-born politician berated the anti-
corruption war of Buhari, arguing that his
administration claimed to be fighting corruption
whereas it is committing mother of corruption’
with Abacha’s loot.
He said, “They said they are fighting corruption
and the mother of corruption is being
perpetrated under this government. Abacha’s
looted funds are being withdrawn and being
given out to people. That is the mother of all
corruption.
“How on earth will a government engage in
mother of corruption? Abacha’s loot has been
withdrawn from the banks and being given to
cronies.
“We want to assure President Muhammadu
Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, that
they will be held accountable. That is mother of
corruption.
“No government will put money in baskets and
starts sharing. When PDP takes over in 2019,
we will ask them to refund every kobo of
Abacha’s loot.
“It is primitive to be spending money without
proper appropriation.
“I believe that the money is meant for the APC
government for election in 2019 and they have
started using it. If they do, when we take over,
we will probe it.”

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has
attacked the President Muhammadu Buhari-led
Federal Government following the use of force
against the Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele
Fayose.
The organization wondered why a sitting
Government could be physically attacked by
security agencies of the Federal Government.
It described the situation as an international
embarrassment.
In a statement signed and made available to
DAILY POST by the National President of AYCF,
Alhaji Yerima Shettima, the organization warned
that the attempt to emasculate opposition
parties in Ekiti had far-reaching implications for
the forthcoming 2019 elections and the
country’s democratic future.
The youths said they have been following with
keen interest the brazen abuse of democratic
ethics and principles in the state through the
use force against Fayose and wish to declare
that:
“It is a smear on decorum and an international
embarrassment for a serving governor elected
by millions of the poor people on Ekiti to be
subjected to physical attack. We condemn this
Gestapo style in totality.
“We are disappointed that at this stage of our
nationl democratic history there are persons in
uniform ready to intimidate people, including the
Chief Security Officer of a State in broad
daylight, just to please their paymasters. This is
an uncivilized conduct, an attack on the Rule of
Law and therefore reprehensible.
“We deplore this level of desperation by the
ruling APC over an election in just one State out
of 36 States in the Federation, while we are
approaching nationwide elections in 2019.
“As a people who identify with the promotion of
democratic governance in Nigeria, we reject this
use of primitive means of impunity and open
manipulation of a simple electoral process.
“We wish to issue the timely warning that the
attempt to emasculate opposition parties in
Ekiti State at the moment has far-reaching
implications for the forthcoming 2019 elections
and our democratic future. This is therefore
objectionable in totality.
“From the series of street protests in support of
Fayose, it is evident that the impunity against
the governor was very unpopular. It held even in
Abuja, the capital if Nigeria. Most importantly
one of these protests held in Katsina State two
days ago. For this to have happened at the
President’s immediate constituency, it was
signal that everything was wrong with the APC
and police treatment of governor Fayose
“We also wish to announce that as monitors of
the nation’s democratic development we are
watching, very closely, all the happenings,
ahead of the Saturday governorship election in
Ekiti State and will support any effort to ensure
that the people’s votes count.
“Finally we call on all stakeholders in the
forthcoming Ekiti elections to ensure that the
millions of voters in the State enjoy the freedom
to vote for the candidates of their choice,
without any form of intimidation.
“We hope our message gets across to all
stakeholders including the security agents and
all those who call the shots in the ruling APC.
Enough of this unacceptable political
brigandage.”

President Muhammadu Buhari has told the
members of the Board of African Export and
Important Bank, AFREXIM that his
administration will continue to come to them for
assistance.
The President said Nigeria will continue to
borrow in order to fix the long decayed
infrastructure in the country.
In a statement by his Senior Special Assistant
on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu,
the President said, “We are grateful for the
much you are doing for us, but we will continue
to knock on your doors for more and more as
we strive to overcome our infrastructure deficit.”
Buhari also called for stronger partnership with
lending banks to reduce the nation’s
infrastructure deficit, assuring of his
administration’s full commitment to implement
all agreements.
According Garba, the President stated this when
he received the Board of African Export and
Import Bank, AFREXIM, led by Dr Benedict Okey,
at the Presidential Villa.
He said that his administration will keep making
requests from the bank for financial aid for the
building of infrastructure and development of
the real sector.
“We realise that we do need money to fix the
appalling state of infrastructure we met; to do
roads, railways, power and communications – a
sector now mostly in private hands which is
doing very well.
“Don’t be tired of us. We will be coming to you
again and again. Please accommodate us,” he
said.
He said Nigeria already faced a challenge of
fixing and putting in place long delayed
infrastructure and will need strong partnerships
for quick and better results.

President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted to being a very slow reader.
The President anchored his claim on the fact that he is an ex-soldier. Buhari made the disclosure while explaining his delay in signing the $3 trillion African
Free-Trade Agreement, during a joint press conference with the visiting South African President, Cyril
Ramaphosa.
According to Buhari, “I am very careful about what I sign, whether it is my cheque book or agreements,
especially when it involves nations and states. As your President has said, we are so populated and have so many young unemployed citizens and our
industries are just coming up. “So, in trying to guarantee employment, goods and services in our
country, we have to be careful with agreements that will compete, maybe successfully, against our upcoming industries.
“I was presented with the document; I am a very slow reader maybe because I am an ex- soldier. I didn’t read it fast enough before my officials saw that it was all right for signature. I kept it on my table. I will
soon sign it.”

home and away getting hot for him

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP,
Kogi West Elders’ Forum, KWEF, has
said it will vehemently reject any
attempt to impose Senator Dino
Melaye
as the sole senatorial candidate of the
party in 2019.
Chairman of the Forum,
Shaibu Momoh said this while
speaking after they met yesterday in
Lokoja, the state capital, to deliberate
on Melaye’s official planned defection
to PDP.
This development comes amidst Dino’s
planned
defection to the party anytime soon.
Speaking on behalf of the elders,
Momoh said if Melaye was allowed to
contest in any free and fair election in
the state now, the party would
be defeated. Momoh said Melaye will
be a liability and not an asset to the
former ruling party in the state.
He said, “Melaye is seen as too
controversial and his unacceptable
behaviors are the serious negative
views of the public against him. He
cannot win any election in a free and
fair atmosphere and PDP should
therefore not
gamble with him as a candidate for
now. “He needs a serious reformation
period which PDP Kogi state do not
have the luxury of time
to dispense.
“The leadership of PDP in the state
under the two former governors of the
state, Alhaji
Ibrahim Idris, Captain Idris Wada,
senator Tunde Ogbeha Alhaji Musa
Ahmadu and host of other critical
stakeholders have been struggling to
rebrand a PDP that can recapture
power from
an aggressive non-performing
government of APC in the state.
“They have reconciled several
prominent strong men and women
who came back to the party and their
re-entrance back to PDP is without any
condition or concession but genuine.
Imposition of a Senatorial candidate
will cause a major derailment and
unimaginable crisis that PDP may not
overcome before the general election.
“The critical leaders are on ground
and they understand this great danger
and trap, hence their rejection of this
Dino imposition.
“Senator Dino Melaye is welcome to
PDP as specified under the
Constitution of the party. He is free to
aspire to any position of his choice
but must take cognisance of existing
mutual arrangement.
“He will not be discriminated against
in any form in the conduct of the
affairs in the state. He should come
into the party with genuine open mind
and contribute meaningfully to
growth of the PDP like any other
senior member of the party”.

President Muhammadu Buhari has said that only malicious people are accusing him of condoning killings being carried out by suspected herdsmen. Buhari stated this while addressing a Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) delegation from the 19 northern states at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Thursday. He insisted that killings did not start with his administration, but that he was doing everything to end it. “When some (people), for clearly political purposes, attempt to suggest that this government is doing nothing about the killings, and that I, being Fulani, must be encouraging these satanic acts, it seems to me that there is no limit to the evil in the minds of these men. “Otherwise, how can anyone in their right minds suggest that I, as an elected President even with substantial votes in the affected areas, will for any reason do harm by an act of omission to those same people? “Secondly, the problems in all these areas, as you all know, are historical. There is no administration that has not had to contend with killings in these same areas over the years. “Indeed, in 2001, you may recall that after thousands were killed in Plateau State, a state of emergency was declared and a governor was replaced by an administrator. “To suggest that our administration is doing nothing is terribly unfair. We must not forget that the same Plateau state which has been crisis-ridden for years has in the past three years been celebrated for its peacefulness. The governor’s hard work for peace and the presence of the military’s Operation Safe Haven must have had some impact,” Buhari said.

President Emmanuel Macron of France has revealed why he is visiting the Afrika Shrine in Lagos.

Speaking during a joint press conference at the Presidential Villa in Abuja on Tuesday, Macron said the Afrika Shrine is a symbol of African culture.

Recalling his days in Nigeria, Macron said he never imagined he would return to Nigeria as President of France. Fifteen years ago, the president of France worked as a diplomat in Abuja.

“First, because I wanted to find a good occasion to come back there. I know the place and I have some memories, I have to confess at a time that there was no president around, I hope I will not spoil the party.

“First, I think that is such an iconic place for a lot of African people and African culture. And I think very often when you speak of the African culture in Europe, those who are successful in Europe and in France, which is different most of the times are not dramatically very famous in Nigeria or in Africa. And there is a bias because you know people are absolutely not the same.

“I mean Fela, Femi, Seun Kuti are obviously very famous in France and Europe, I mean they are big successes but the Shrine is a cultural hub, an iconic hub and it is very important for me first on a personal level, and that is why I want to say with a lot of humility that I recognize the importance of this place, I recognize the place of culture in this current environment,” he said.

An Igbo pressure group, Voice from the East,
VEAST, has given the Fulani herdsmen in the
South-East, as well as Anioma, in Delta State,
and Ikwere in Rivers State, up till August 31,
2018 to leave.
The group wants the cattle rearers to vacate
their land and forests.
The group embarked on a peaceful protest
Tuesday in Enugu, warning that should the
armed herdsmen fail to leave after the
ultimatum, they would mobilise and comb
forests and lands to send them packing.
They said that they may even resort to killing
the herdsmen should they become adamant and
refuse to leave.
They said that the quit notice was a result of
the Federal Government’s inaction or tacit
support for the herdsmen menace.
Convener of the group, Comrade Kindness
Jonah, told newsmen after their demonstration
that government’s inability to check the killings
necessitated the issuance of the quit notice.
“We carried out the demonstration for the sole
purpose of giving quit notice to Fulani
herdsmen in Igboland, the five South Eastern
states as well as Anioma and Ikwerre land.
“The aberrant killings by Fulani herdsmen
purposely unchecked by Federal Government
and military instigated this quit notice.
“At Ezi Nze in UDI Local Government Area of
Enugu State, Fulani herdsmen kidnapped several
young men, demanding N2 million compensation
for purported killing of undisclosed number of
cows, out of which N6000,000.00 has been
paid.
“VEAST sees this as an affront of the highest
order which can no longer be tolerated in
Igboland.
”After 31st August, 2018, since nobody holds the
monopoly of violence and for the mere fact that
the Nigerian military and police are working
secretly, openly with the herdsmen, VEAST will
galvanise young men from all Igboland to enter
Igbo forests to kill and butcher any Fulani
herdsmen,” he said.

Two beautiful Spanish sisters chose to show
off their twerking skills by livestreaming
themselves in the act, but they didn't expect
things to end the way it did when their mother
walked in on them.
The sisters set up a webcam and began
twerking while their followers on social media
watched it live. Mid twerk, their mum walked in
carrying a laundry basket and, immediately she
saw what her daughters were doing, she
reached for her footwear and used it to hit
them repeatedly.
As she beat them with her slippers, both girls
can be seen screaming and running around the
room. All the while, the webcam was still
recording and their viewers watched it live.
The video which was shared only a few hours
ago has been viewed over 7 million times.

An All Progressives Congress, APC, chieftain in
Bauchi state, Ali Ibrahim Ningi has slammed
President Muhammadu Buhari over plans by the
government to disburse part of the Abacha loot
to poor Nigerian households.
Ningi told DAILY POST, in an exclusive interview
in Bauchi on Tuesday, that it was unfortunate
for the Federal Government to plan giving
Nigerian households N5,000 out of the Abacha
loot as a palliative measure against poverty and
hunger.
He said, “Yes, I listened to the programme aired
by international radio with shock if it’s true that
the Federal Government has decided to give
Nigerians N5,000 out of the Abacha loot.”
The politician maintained that the APC
government of Buhari is clueless and without
advisers to make it address the more
meaningful needs of Nigerians.
“It’s expected that the Federal Government
should channel the funds to education, health
and the N-Power programme apparently to
cushion the adverse poverty among Nigerians
as was the system during Buhari’s days as PTF
boss where drugs were procured through the
agency,” Ningi opined.
He cautioned the President not to allow himself
be derailed by “corrupt presidential cabals”,
stressing that any attempt to disburse the
Abacha loot to Nigerians by the APC
government would justify the weakness and
incapability of the Buhari administration.
“Visit our education sector at all levels and
received shocking conditions, same apply to the
health sector with absence of drugs apart from
youths who are now streets touts linked to
poverty. As such, the Federal Government
should kindly discard any ill-advised plan to
disburse the Abacha loot to Nigerians just
because of the 2019 elections,” Ningi added.

Same story for different episodes

Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant on Media
and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari
has attributed insecurity and killings in the
country to corrupt politicians.
He said that the politicians involved were those
who no longer had access to loot public
treasury.
NAN reports that Shehu made this known on
Monday while speaking with newsmen.
He said that the politicians involved were those
who no longer had access to loot public
treasury.
NAN reports that Shehu made this known on
Monday while speaking with newsmen.
Shehu said such politicians were bent on taking
the shine out of the Buhari-led administration.
“The competition for power has become fiercer
because the stakes are very high,” he said.
According to Shehu, Buhari was being attacked
especially because he had unleashed on the
country, a war against corruption.
This, he said, had never been so in the country,
as access to public treasury for looting had
been blocked.
The aide, however, said that the president was
lucky because he had a judiciary which was
transforming itself and was on the same page
with him in fighting corruption.
“As I speak to you now, two former state
governors are in jail; a lot of people thought
that this war against corruption is a joke and
that the back-and-forth that had characterised
this over time, will continue.
“One of the two cases was determined after 11
years of back-and-forth between lawyers and
Judges, kicking the ball from this court to that
court.
“A lot of these harsh attacks against the
president are coming from people who had
become used to life style they cannot sustain.
“On record, there were people in this country,
because they are influential, they had permanent
suite in major hotels in Abuja where they leave
lavishly at public expense.
“And, when they are leaving, they are
accompanied with bags of Ghana-Must-Go,” he
said.
Shehu added that the president had blocked
access to national resources for lazy people,
politicians, especially those who were fighting
back, because they were not happy.
He said that the Buhari-led Federal Government
was building infrastructure across the country.
According to him, there is no state in the
country where a minimum of two federal roads
are not being newly constructed or
reconstructed.
“We have more electricity that cannot be
consumed, 2,000 megawatts of electricity that
nobody is taking.
“By the year ending, we are going to hit 10,000
megawatts from the 2,600 that we inherited,” he
said, adding that government’s problem was
how to sale and distribute electricity to those
who needed it.

Twelve Thai boys and their football coach
who were trapped in a flooded cave and lost
for nine days may be stuck there for months
before they can be rescued. The 'rake thin'
schoolboys, who were found
starving but unhurt by British volunteer divers
John Volanthen and Rick Stanton on Monday,
may have to survive in the cave until October
when water levels subside at the end of
monsoon season. Cave experts say it would
be 'unbelievably
dangerous' to try to get the boys out while the
waters are still high with more heavy rains
expected over the next few days. Authorities
are now considering teaching the boys - none
of whom can swim - how to dive so they can
be guided out of the Thamg Luang cave
network in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand.
