 Politics / APC Candidate Akeredolu Leads In Ondo Governorship Election by DAVECENA(m): 9:12am On Nov 27, 2016 |
The candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Rotimi Akeredolu, will likely emerge winner of the November 26 governorship election in Ondo State, SaharaReporters has learnt. Mr. Akeredolu according to 60 percent of election results collated across the state has defeated the candidate of the People's Democratic Party, Eyitayo Jegede, and also the popular candidate of the Alliance for Democracy, Olusola Oke, to emerge the likely winner. Although the Independent National Electoral Commission has yet to officially announce the results of the election, SaharaReporters has obtained election results from across the state showing that Mr. Akeredolu polled exceedingly well in at least 13 of the 18 local government areas of the state. Mr. Akeredolu also performed surprisingly well in Akure South local government where the PDP candidate, Mr. Jegede, hails from. SaharaReporters learnt that, despite his seeming popularity with the masses, Mr. Oke did not have the structures on ground to secure electoral victory. Our correspondent also learned that Governor Olusegun Mimiko, realizing that his candidate, Mr. Jegede, was headed for defeat, had cut a last-minute deal with the APC candidate in the final days before the election. A source close to Mr. Akeredolu said Mr. Mimiko reached out the APC candidate in a bid to avoid the prospect of the incoming governor focusing on probing the outgoing governor's management of Ondo State over the last eight years. Mr. Akeredolu's all but official victory was facilitated by APC governors who reportedly pumped in money to his campaign to ensure that he had a huge enough war chest to blanket the entire state. SEE ALSO The Ondo governorship election also provided a turf for the staging of a fierce internal war between two factions of the APC, one loyal to President Muhammadu Buhari, the other to the party's national leader, Bola Tinubu. Supporters of Mr. Buhari, who campaigned vigorously for Mr. Akeredolu, and those who support Mr. Tinubu, who was the unseen hand behind Mr. Oke's candidacy, saw the governorship election as a testing ground. Mr. Akeredolu's triumph, which INEC is likely to formally announce soon, is seen as a political reversal for Mr. Tinubu, a former senator as well as ex-governor of Lagos State. The Ondo governorship election was relatively peaceful across the state, according to officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission who supervised the polls. source' saharareporters.com/2016/11/26/apc-candidate-akeredolu-leads-ondo-governorship-election

| Foreign Affairs / BREAKING: Hillary Clinton To Beat Donald Trump - Naij by DAVECENA(m): 7:54pm On Nov 25, 2016 |
Hillary Clinton will be president of the United States of America if she can win the recounts in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Hillary Clinton stands a great chance of becoming president of the United States. There are calls for Clinton to initiate a request for recount, but when Hillary hesitated, someone else did for her, Jill Stein. According to the US electoral system, if the recounts end up in Hillary’s favour, then she will have enough votes to win the electoral college. Already, statistics show that Hillary leads Trump in popular votes, by over 2 million votes. Real Time Politics reports that though many claim that Jill Stein’s move is a long shot, still Wisconsin begins to recount on Friday, November 25. The Clinton faithfuls can only hope that a miracle happens, something statistics can help prove. Recounting of votes may help Hillary Clinton clinch the ticket to the White House. Meanwhile, an explosive bid to topple the President-elect, pro-Clinton supporters are calling for Trump to be impeached over claims of sexual abuse, fraud and racketeering. One of several petitions calling for his impeachment has amassed more than 33,000 signatures as fury over Trump’s Brexit-style election win boils over. Now scores of legal experts backing the plan believe there is a “strong case” to impeach Trump and strip him of the presidency. It comes as tens of thousands of pro-Clinton supporters sparked violence during a third day of anti-Trump protests – leaving windows smashed, buildings vandalised and fires burning. One law professor claimed there is already enough evidence to impeach Trump. Christopher Peterson, law professor at the University of Utah, claims he has found evidence of fraud and racketeering – criminal offences under US law. Under article II of the United States constitution, fraud and racketeering are considered “high crimes and misdemeanors” and can lead to impeachment. source: https://www.naij.com/1062231-breaking-hillary-clinton-to-be-president-of-usa-as-donald-trump-goes-to-prison.html

| Crime / Facebook User Relates How He Was Robbed By Agents by DAVECENA(m): 9:56am On Nov 25, 2016 |
Whenever you have any dealings with Agents,Never deal in cash...... How i was Robbed of #470,000 Today Today is the longest day of my life, after spending sleepless nights, toiling day and night to make ends meet, some guys somewhere thinks they can just sunken me in and rob me of my hard earned money. It was around 8AM this morning that i called a house agent that showed me some houses yesterday at Okpanam road, after many deliberations i decided to pay for one. I was asked by the house agent to meet them up at Avanti plaza close to city complex, on getting there the two agents said i should proceed with the payment, but then i demanded to see the house owner/lawyer in charge but then one of the agents insisted i'm in safe hands, that there is no need to see any lawyer to save time. I was already blinded by the quality of the apartment, i just wanted to pay and have the right for occupancy, so i went ahead to make a transfer to the house owner account number in the bank. While in the bank with the two agents, i brought a fund transfer form to make the transfer, but then again the agent insisted on cash, that transfer will waste time. (Damn me for obliging) i should have known better since i was a veteran banker for 6years! Again i agreed to withdraw cash. We both entered same keke back to the agents office (avanti plaza). On getting there, i noticed the two agents maintained a suspicious distance on me, while i was walking slowly to the office waiting for them to catch up, two men on a motorcycle with their face covered zoomed on me, snatched my bag, and #470,000 became history! At that point i thought all hope on recovering the money zoomed off with the men on bike, but then i got home, bathed and strategised. After due consultations, i went to "A" Division Asaba to make official entry of the incidence, quite frankly i was not expecting much from the Police, i wanted to just "report" the matter to fulfill all righteousness. When i got to the police station around 2PM, I was shocked to be told by the police that the two agents have already come before hand to make complaint on my behalf, but to their (police) credit, they declined their complaint, insisting that the main victim of robbery is the only one who can make official report of the matter. The fast move they made to save their ass became their biggest undoing, it became even more obvious that it was a criminal conspiracy to rob me off my hard earned money. So the onus of the matter now lies on the question of how to arrest the co-conspirators ASAP. I deviced a means immediately, i called one of the agents that i am now ready to go with them to make the complaint, of-course they initially wanted us to go and become co-complainants to a case that they obviously are prime suspects. Great they agreed to go to station with me, unknown to them i have already tabled my case before the NPF, justice was on my side. So as soon as we got to the station, the two agents were immediately detained. Hope of recovering the money became obvious when their relatives came, seeing the whole glaring conspiracy, they had no choice but to go for out of court settlement, of-course with my money intact. It was already about 7:30PM, so the matter was adjourned till tomorrow and meanwhile the suspects are currently in police cell. I do hope the matter will be resolved ASAP with me having my stolen money back. This is the longest day of my life having spent about 7hours in police station. I will keep it posted as soon as i get justice. I need your prayers friends.

Yoshy: 1)It's not much of a challenge because you can actually study in English. Secondly,While studying you could decide to enrol for German language class in order to enhance your chances of getting a professional after your Msc. 2) Yes you can but its not that easy. That's why its advisable to hold enough cash to sustain you for at least a year. On the other hand you could be lucky to get one in time. |

Yoshy: No oooo.It's for tuition fee for the session.Canada is really expensive. But if you opt for Germany, the #2.5M will cover your expenses for a year if you don't spend extravagantly and within 3-6Months you would have been able to secure a job. If you've got the cash,go for canada but if you're trying to cut cost,Germany is the place. You'll also get to meet our brothers in diaspora. |

Yoshy: They all do.....First of all,Australia is the most expensive followed by Canada so if you can afford any of the 2 the better.....German universities are free save some usually costs which most be taken care of.To study in German you need at least #2.5M deposited in your foreign bank account to prove to the embassy that you are independent. After studying and you wish to stay back you'll be given a 6months visa elongation to find a job...But as an added advantage,you need to learn German while studying.... In conclusion,I'll advice you take Canada.... 1 Like |

| Politics / Senate Forgery: Police Submit Fresh Report, Indict Saraki, Ekweremadu by DAVECENA(m): 2:49am On Nov 20, 2016 |
There are strong indications that the police have submitted to the National Prosecution Coordination Committee, another report on the investigations into the alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Orders, 2015. SUNDAY PUNCH gathered that in the fresh report, the police indicted the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and his deputy, Dr. Ike Ekweremadu. It was gathered that the Special Investigation Panel, headed by the retired Assistant Inspector-General of Police, Ali Amodu, explained that a former Clerk to the National Assembly, Salisu Maikasuwa, could not have committed the alleged offence without the connivance of the two principal officers. The SIP was set up by the Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris, to investigate high-profile cases. The Federal Government had, on October 6, 2016, withdrawn the charges of criminal conspiracy relating to the alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Orders, 2015, filed against the Senate President and his deputy at an Abuja High Court. The government, it was reported, had found out that the investigation was inconclusive and the evidence was not strong enough to sustain a diligent prosecution of the accused persons. Following this discovery, the Ministry of Justice filed an application to amend the charges. In the new charges, only Maikasuwa and a former deputy clerk, Mr. Ben Efeturi, were listed as the accused persons. Saraki and Ekweremadu were earlier charged alongside Maikasuwa and Efeturi for allegedly forging the Senate Standing Orders, which were used for the inauguration of the Eight Senate. All of them pleaded not guilty to the charges before Justice Yusuf Halilu and were granted bail on June 10, 2016. Following the amendment of the charges, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), directed the police to conduct fresh investigations into the case. Saraki, Ekweremadu may face conspiracy charge again. A top police operative, who confided in SUNDAY PUNCH on Saturday, said the SIP had addressed the loopholes the AGF identified in the former report. He said, “The police have concluded investigations into the case and submitted the report to the NPCC. This was done about a month ago.” Giving an insight into the report, a top source at the Force Headquarters said, “Conspiracy is a very wide offence and Maikasuwa couldn’t have done what he did without the connivance of Saraki and Ekweremadu. “There is no doubt about it; they were the beneficiaries and they have to be joined in the case.” When asked if the panel made any recommendation for the prosecution of the beneficiaries of the forgery, he stated, “There is no need to make any recommendation to prosecute them because the investigation did not exonerate them.” On the non-interrogation of Saraki and others by the former investigators, the source stated, “It is not totally out of point. It is for Saraki, Ekweremadu and others to defend themselves in court. The fact that they were not questioned did not mean they didn’t commit the offence as alleged. The circumstances were that the investigators could not reach them just like the way the House of Representatives leadership was dodging police summons on the budget padding probe.” He added that the evidence and corrections made on the report had been sent to the AGF by the police. He stated, “There were certain documents and evidence they asked us to fine-tune, which we did. We got all the necessary documents, including the Hansard, where publications were made and notices were given. We looked at the Hansard. Was there any amendment during the 7th Senate? There were no amendments; nothing was adopted during the 7th Senate. We got the papers and there was nothing like that. “So, where did Ekweremadu and Maikasuwa derive their authority from when no amendment was done on the floor of the Senate?” Another highly-placed source, who was familiar with the police probe, informed one of our correspondents on Saturday that the SIP was able to gather the necessary evidence about how the alleged forgery at the Senate was carried out. The source said it was now up to the AGF and the NPCC to decide whether to re-arraign Saraki, Ekweremadu and others or not. It was gathered that the detectives were able to verify the extent of amendment to the Senate Standing Orders 2011, the individuals who authorised it, and the official who ordered the printing of the Senate Standing Orders, 2015. The source added, “The SIP, through painstaking efforts, was able to identify who distributed the printed copies of the Senate Standing Orders, 2015, to senators-elect and it also obtained the complete Hansard of June 9 and 24, 2015, which indicated what transpired on the floor of the Senate as well as other relevant evidence. These were issues the former probe did not resolve. “It is now up to the government to decide whether Saraki and Ekweremadu should be re-arraigned or only Maikasuwa and Efeturi would carry the can.” One of our correspondents gathered that the SIP had to bypass the Clerk, National Assembly, Mohammed Sani-Omolori, to get the necessary evidence and documents relating to the case. When contacted on Saturday, the spokesperson for the AGF and the NPCC, Mr. Salisu Isah, said he was not aware of any fresh development in the case. “Just give me some time to find out and revert to you,” he said. Besides the AGF, who is the Chairman of the NPCC, the committee consists of 19 members, including the Solicitor-General/Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Justice, Mr. Taiwo Abidogun and Mr. Dipo Opeseyi. When contacted on Saturday, Saraki decline to comment on the matter, while Ekweremadu said he was not aware of the new development in the forgery case. The Special Adviser to the Senate President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Yusuph Olaniyonu, said, “I have no comment on the matter,” when he was called on the telephone by one of our correspondents. Ekweremadu, who spoke through the Special Adviser to the Deputy President of the Senate on Media, Mr. Uche Anichukwu, said, “We are not aware of that” when he was told that the police had submitted a fresh report to the AGF-led committee. Another aide to Ekweremadu, who spoke on condition of anonymity, wondered why the police would file another report from a fresh investigation when the security agency had sworn to an affidavit that it had concluded its investigations into the case and presented it before a court. source: punchng.com/senate-forgery-police-submit-fresh-report-indict-saraki-ekweremadu/ |

| Politics / Katsina Accuses Ex-gov Shema, Others Of Diverting N8.6bn by DAVECENA(m): 2:51am On Nov 15, 2016 |
The Katsina State Government has presented a memo before the Katsina State Judicial Commission of Inquiry alleging diversion of N8.6bn by the immediate past governor of the state, Alhaji Ibrahim Shema, and other top officials. Counsel for the commission, Mr. Hassan Liman (SAN), stated this on Monday during the sitting of the commission. Liman said the amount was diverted from the accounts of the Ministry of Environment, departments of Community Development, Special Duties, Girl-Child Education and Almajiri Affairs. He explained that available records showed that the funds were allegedly diverted by the former governor and other government officials. According to him, there was no evidence on how the funds were utilised during the period under review. Liman, however, told the commission that the former governor had filed a case before the Court of Appeal, Kaduna, claiming an infringement of his fundamental human rights. He asked the commission to adjourn the sitting pending the determination of the case. In his ruling, the chairman of the commission, Justice Muhammad Surajo, adjourned the sitting indefinitely, saying that the commission would communicate a new date to all the parties involved. The commission also adjourned the hearing of memo on the activities of the Katsina Road Maintenance Agency and Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs Department, pending the determination of the case before the Court of Appeal. The News Agency of Nigeria reported that Governor Aminu Masari inaugurated the commission to investigate how some funds were mismanaged during Shema’s tenure and to advise the government accordingly. source: punchng.com/katsina-accuses-ex-gov-shema-others-diverting-n8-6bn/

| Crime / Nigerian Soldier Kidnapped In Calabar by DAVECENA(m): 4:18am On Nov 12, 2016 |
Private Lawal Musa, a soldier attached to the Nigerian Army’s "Operation Delta Safe" in Calabar, has been kidnapped. SaharaReporters learned that Musa was abducted by unknown persons on November 9, on his way to First Bank on Calabar Way in the city at about 9:30a.m. The soldier is a member of the Nigerian Army Headquarters Boat Company at the 222 Battalion in Cross Rivers State. A source in Army Headquarters said Private Musa took permission from the Commanding Officer to go to the bank but the CO became apprehensive after the soldier failed to return to the barracks. His phone had also been switched off for some time. Persistent calls to his phone later yielded a response from one of his abductors who simply said, "Your guy is with us". The army source did not disclose whether the kidnappers have demanded a ransom. The police and the Department of State Security are searching for the kidnapped soldier. source: saharareporters.com/2016/11/11/nigerian-soldier-kidnapped-calabar

A group called, ‘I Stand with Bola Tinubu’, says hundreds of loyalists of a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, will stage a solidarity walk on Saturday (today) for the politician, who is allegedly being sidelined by some other chieftains of the party. The group’s Media Team Chairman, Tijani Oluwadamilare, said even though a lot of things had yet to be put in place as the group had not been able to mobilise enough funds for the walk as expected, members of the group, as well as other participants, were ready for the walk because of their faith and love for Tinubu. “Hundreds of people are ready to participate in the walk on Saturday (today). Although, I am not totally happy with what is happening at the moment, as we have not been able to raise enough funds as we had hoped. We all remain unshaken. Many of those we had hoped would render financial assistance to us are not forthcoming; most of them keep blaming (the) recession for their inability to provide financial assistance as earlier promised. But despite all these, we all look forward to having the walk tomorrow,” he said. Tijani pointed out that the group had chosen to organise the loyalty walk to show solidarity and support for Tinubu, and to send a message to everyone concerned that never again would Yoruba people stand and watch any of their respected leaders being ridiculed. “We all know what happened to past Yoruba leaders such as Chief Obafemi Awolowo, who were subjected to diverse forms of ridicule. We do not want this to happen again, especially not to the person of Tinubu who is a Yoruba leader now,” he said. source: punchng.com/tinubu-loyalists-stage-solidarity-walk-saturday/

| Politics / PDP Searches For Alliance Ahead Of The 2019 Election by DAVECENA(m): 1:14am On Nov 09, 2016 |
The Peoples Democratic Party said in Abuja on Tuesday in Abuja that it was searching for alliances to enable it to regain power in 2019. It said that there was no way its members would remain docile unlike members of other political parties who it said were busy meeting ahead of the 2019 general elections. The Chairman of the party’s National Caretaker Committee, Ahmed Makarfi, stated this while inaugurating the PDP’s Committee on Strategy Review and Inter-Party Affairs. The committee, which is headed by a former Minister of Information, Prof. Jerry Gana, also has a former Deputy Speaker, Mr. Austin Okpara, as secretary. Makarfi, who said the membership of the committee was initially 85, said that more than 30 names were later added to it in order to cover the interest of other people. Makarfi, who was apparently referring to the inability of the party to resolve its crisis with a faction of the party under the leadership of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, said the members of the party could no longer fold their arms and refuse to be active politically. He said, “We do not begin by drawing conclusions but as life is dynamic, so is politics. “You don’t remain docile and inactive; you don’t remain cornered so that you will be toyed around with at the whims of anybody. “Long before now, we have talked about putting up a number of sub-committees to deal with different aspects of the affairs of our party, but because of litigation we have not settled down to do that. “Time is going and a lot of things are happening, and our men and women, are on their own beginning to do all sorts of meetings.” He insinuated that some members of the PDP in his faction were probably preparing to leave the party on their own, but said this should not be allowed to happen. The former governor of Kaduna said, “However, if you don’t bring all your flocks together to talk as one family, before long, a good chunk of them would have gone on their own, because nobody will remain inactive for forever. “After due consultation, we felt that time is now right to set up a committee, called the Strategy Review and Inter-party Affairs Committee. “Strategy is how to come back to power in 2019 through every democratic means. Even as caretaker committee members, we are being approached by various groups and we felt that it is not the few of us that should be talking to these people.” He said that the committee might seem large but added that its responsibilities were also huge. He urged the members to break into sub- committees to enable them to talk to different groups and individuals. Apart from this, he said it was the responsibility of the committee to advise the leadership on how to make the party stronger and better. On the failed peace process in the party, he said the ongoing court cases involving the party and its faction needed to be cleared before peace could return to the former ruling party. Apart from this, he also warned that, if this was not done, some elements in the party and outside it, could be used to derail its progress before the general elections. Makarfi said that irrespective of the outcome of the moribund reconciliation, the PDP must reorganise and restrategise. To do this, he urged members of the committee to engage all stakeholders “if you want to build a moving consensus to enable us to capture power in 2019.” He gave the terms of reference to the committee as exploring strategies to engage all possible allies with a view to building positive relationship in furtherance of democracy in Nigeria. The committee is also to recommend strategies to re-position the party and suggest necessary amendment to its constitution. The Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Senator Walid Jubril, said that he was happy that 30 members of the board were included in the committee. In his response, Gana said that the committee, which has three months within which to turn up its reports, would work tirelessly to meet the target. source: punchng.com/pdp-searches-alliance-ahead-2019-election/ |

| Politics / Anxiety Over Kogi Gov’s Whereabouts by DAVECENA(m): 2:40am On Nov 07, 2016 |
There was anxiety in Kogi State on Sunday following the non-appearance of Governor Yahaya Bello in public in the last two weeks. Sources said the governor might have been flown abroad to treat an undisclosed ailment. All state functions have been put on hold leaving the Deputy Governor, Simon Achuba, with only the duty of receiving visitors on behalf of his boss. However, the governor’s spokesman, Kingsley Fanwo, has denied that the governor is nursing any ailment. In a statement issued on Sunday night, Fanwo urged the public to discountenance “the rumour,” describing it as lacking any iota of truth. “My attention has been drawn to the spurious rumour that there are concerns over the health of the Kogi State Governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello. “I want to state clearly here for the avoidance of doubt that the rumour lacks any iota of truth. It is a reflection of the depth the enemies of Kogi State have gone in their desperate angst against fate. Fanwo added, “The governor is hale and hearty, healthy and unwavering in his vigour to make Kogi State the Confluence of Excellence. “I urge all Kogites of goodwill to discountenance the rumour as His Excellency will return from his two weeks break on the 12th of November, 2016.” source: punchng.com/anxiety-kogi-govs-whereabouts/

| Politics / APC C’ttee Recommends Suspension, Expulsion Of Timi Frank by DAVECENA(m): 3:25am On Nov 04, 2016 |
ABUJA—TRUE to the predictions of many political analysts, the disciplinary committee set up by the All Progressives Congress, APC, to examine a petition against the party’s Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Timi Frank, yesterday submitted its report, recommending the suspension and subsequent expulsion of Mr Frank from the party. The Solomon Edoja-led five-man committee was recently constituted by the South-South zonal Vice Chairman of the party, Hilliard Etta, to investigate a petition written by a member of the party from Akwa Ibom State, Mr Aniekan Akpabio. The petitioner had accused Mr Frank of making disparaging comments against the party in the media. Just before the committee began its sittings, Mr Frank had indicated that he would not appear before a “kangaroo panel”. “Some people cannot continue to oppress us. I want to make it very clear, I will not appear before any kangaroo committee because I do not know them. That is not to say that I do not respect party processes but I can only attend to a committee set up by responsible people. “How can I go to a committee that will take their report to Oyegun to decide my fate? If tomorrow I do not go and they submit their report to Oyegun and then he suspends me, then that is the beginning of the struggle”, Frank had said. However, submitting its report to the zonal executive of the party in Abuja, the committee said while the petitioner appeared before it, Frank never honoured its invitation. In its report sighted by Vanguard, the committee said it was not a Father Christmas and so had no option than to rely on the claims of the petitioner to arrive at its recommendations. While it recommended that Frank be suspended forthwith, the committee also asked the zonal executive committee to recommend the expulsion of Mr Frank to the National Executive Committee. source: www.vanguardngr.com/2016/11/apc-cttee-recommends-suspension-expulsion-timi-frank-2/
