Muhammadu Buhari on course to win the February 2019 elections.


By International Political Polls
The survey we conducted 2 weeks before the 2019 Nigerian presidential elections reveals that incumbent Oresident Muhammadu Buhari of the APC has a substantial advantage over his main rival, Atiku Abubakar of the PDP. Buhari is expected to win in the first round by a relatively significant margin for a second term as president.

The survey’s results show that president Buhari is expected to gather some 66% of the votes, while his main rival, Abubakar hovers around the 30% mark. None of the other contenders such as Omoyele Sowore (AAC), Donald Duke (SDP) and Oby Ezekwesili (ACPN) are expected to gain more than 2% of the votes.

France Funding Atiku’s Bribes to INEC RECs Through EU Ambassador to Nigeria – Security Sources


Recent revelations have confirmed that French interests have been the funders of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar’s bribes to INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioners.

A security source who asked not to be named explained that the bribes were being brought into Nigeria through diplomatic channels, specifically though the European Union Ambassador, Ketil Karlsen.



“The EU Ambassador to Nigeria has been the one facilitating these bribes from France to Nigeria using his diplomatic privileges, with the money being distributed at the residence of the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki”, the security source revealed.

The Senate President, Bukola Saraki is known to have a very strong relationship with Ketil Karlsen, the EU Ambassador and persons close to him have revealed that the Ambassador is a regular visitor at his residence.

Recall that Ambassador Ketil was the first diplomatic guest at Saraki’s residence to congratulate him when he was discharged at the Code of Conduct Tribunal.

A diplomatic source stated that Frances’ interest in paying for the bribes and ensuring Atiku’s victory is secured through even a back-channel means was based on an agreement the former Vice President has with some interests in their country to sell off NNPC to them if he wins.



The security source also confirmed that former President Olusegun Obasanjo and retired General TY Danjuma are fully aware and part of these plans.

samstradam:
i wonder if laziness is a by product of irrational hate and fake news.............. here anyway

Thank you bro. You have more patience than me..

Shaprara:
In entirety, thanks for the correction, I was mainly referring to his time as a federal commissioner or petroleum and natural resources. Forgive my judgement on our thread.

Ha... Finally.. Congrats!

samstradam:
This is the problem with you people, if you don't know something why not humble yourself and ask?

Was PTF created in the 70's? Google de, radio de , in fact even Aboki can not fail this question !!

If all fails could you not have at least read the date on the letter before disturbing us like this?! Commisioner of PTF indeed! Is PTF now a state or some sort of police force.... kai IPOB!!!

My brother, you no see as I leave the guy alone to his ignorance? Sometimes you wonder where to begin the conversation like that. Its like when you admit a student into University to study Mathematics, but he is asking you why is 1 + 1 = 2. Where do you start from?

bedspread:
[s][/s]Young Man ! Nigeria is moving! Stop this dirty backward Blame Games.....

Buhari is GONE Forever!
Never Again will Nigeria get such Incompetent Leadership

There is no point wasting precious time with you. Election is just few days away. All doubts will be cleared.

Shaprara:
Please name the infrastructure and let me get you right.
Keep in mind this was 1976-1978, 20yrs before 1999

PTF was 1976 - 1978? What gives you the impression that I have the time to waste with you ?

Shaprara:
Same PTF that was used to launder money for Abacha.

Same PTF that maintained many of our infrastructure before PDP came in and did nothing.

bedspread:
[s][/s]
THRASH!

Corruption is not Nigeria's Problem now! Let's stop Decieving ourselves....

Poverty
Killings
Job loss
Foreign investors are scared

These are the Major Problems of Nigeria...


Buhari Presidency is Completely Clueless , Tribal, and Blood sucking!!

Buhari Is GONE

All of the above ills you mentioned were created and nurtured by PDP which Atiku is part and parcel of, the mess which Buhari is clearing now. Election is just few days away. All doubts will be cleared.

If Corruption is not the problem, I dare you to fetch water with a basket from the river to your house..

I know. Especially since Atiku is a Christian, Igbo from Abia state

Feb, 1999. The remarkable late Dora Akunyili, then working under Gen Buhari at PTF, wrote this letter to thank him for approving funds for her medical trip; and to return unspent money.

Buhari written comment on the letter: “... There are still Nigerians with personal integrity.”

And look at Buhari's final line on the letter: “Please take action in line with (Trust Fund) financial regulations.”

One letter (Dora published it in her book) that says a lot about Dora Akunyili and about Muhammadu Buhari. Remarkable people.

rusher14:
I'm from Delta state and I can confirm that we've been successively shafted by Ibori and his gang since 1999.

The irony is that the average Deltan still lives in the illusion that our brother can do no wrong.

They claim a party is more important than development.

My brother, our people hypocrisy is to say the least nauseating.

NaijaRoyalty:
What makes him a rogue any evidence ?


Ganduje of APC was caught on camaera receiving bribes of $50million dollars , his likes are the cause of your misery

The evidence is being tendered in court. I am sure when you catch a petty thief that stole your phone, you dont ask about the thief next street if that one has been caught too.
You may even be from Delta state that receives double allocation compared to Kano state. At least we see Ganduje commissioning state of the art hospitals and flyovers. What is your Delta state Government commissioning?

The worst part of the whole thing is that these rogues makes hardworking and honest Nigerians, looks like lazy people.
Dude has no legitimate means of livelihood but he is living a luxurious lifestyle.

N4.9bn fraud: EFCC confronts Fani-Kayode with 115 cheques
Published February 21, 2019

Oladimeji Ramon

The N4.9bn fraud trial of a former Minister of Aviation, Mr Femi Fani-Kayode, resumed on Wednesday with the prosecution tendering 115 cheques as exhibits against him and his co-defendants.

Fani-Kayode is standing trial in connection with the funding for the failed re-election bid of former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.



He is being prosecuted alongside a former Minister of State for Finance, Nenadi Usman; one Danjuma Yusuf and a company, Joint Trust Dimensions Limited.

The four are answering 17 counts of conspiracy, unlawful retention of proceeds of theft and money laundering before the Federal High Court in Lagos.

Fani-Kayode, who was the Director of Publicity of ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s presidential campaign organisation for the 2015 election, was accused of conspiring with the others to, directly and indirectly, retain various sums, which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission claimed they ought to have reasonably known were proceeds of crime.

At the Wednesday proceedings before Justice Rilwan Aikawa, the prosecuting counsel for the EFCC, Mr Rotimi Oyedepo, sought to tender, through a witness, Shuaibu Shahu, a set of 115 Zenith Bank cheques, which the EFCC claimed were used in illicit transactions.

Fani-Kayode’s lawyer, Mr Norrison Quakers (SAN), however, said he needed time to study the cheques to decide whether or not to oppose their admissibility.

Justice Aikawa, as a result, adjourned the case till Thursday (today).

Earlier in his testimony on Wednesday, Shahu, an investigator with the EFCC, told the court his team discovered that the Ministry of External Affairs sometime in 2015 transferred N350m into the account of Joint Trust Dimensions Limited.

The investigator said there was no trace of any contract between the external affairs ministry and the firm to warrant the payment of the money.



In one of the counts, Fani-Kayode and others were accused of conspiring among themselves to “indirectly retain the sum of N1,500,000,000.00 which sum you reasonably ought to have known forms part of the proceeds of an unlawful act to wit: stealing.”

The four were also accused of indirectly retaining N300m, N400m and N800m, all proceeds of corruption, according to the EFCC.

Fani-Kayode was accused of directly using parts of the money at various times, including a N250,650,000.00, which he allegedly used between March 20 and 25, 2015.


Fani-Kayode was also accused of making a cash transaction of N24m with one Olubode Oke, who owned a poster-printing firm on Lagos Island.

The EFCC said the defendants violated sections 1(a) and 16(d) of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) (Amendment) Act, 2012, and were liable to be punished under Section 16(2)(b) of the same Act.

But the accused have pleaded not guilty.

EFCC detains Atiku’s man over $4m cash haul
by Yusuf Alli February 20, 2019


Detectives are holding a businessman who is said to be an associate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar.

Mr. Uyi Giwa-Osagie is being suspected of allegedly laundering about $4million, which the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) believes to be “suspicious election cash”.

Uyi’s detention followed an intelligence report on a suspicious transaction by a Bureau De Change operator.

The Nation had exclusively reported on Monday how the PDP reportedly allocated $3million each for “logistics” to its 36 state branches and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

Most Bureau De Change operators and banks have, however, refused the “pressure” to convert the hard currency to Naira.

An EFCC source said: “A BDC operator was intercepted for shipping $2million from Abuja to Lagos for suspected money laundering.

“Upon interception by our detectives, the BDC operator admitted that Uyi Giwa-Osagie actually paid the Naira equivalent of $4million into his account in exchange for hard currency.

“We invited Uyi for interrogation on Monday and Tuesday. Our detectives have also conducted a search of his home. Some useful documents were retrieved. Investigation is, however, still in progress.”

“Apart from documents relating to posh properties at home and abroad, a copy of the EFCC Investigation Report on Atiku’s relationship with a jailed U.S. lawmaker, Williams Jefferson, was retrieved from Uyi.

“ An analysis of the account indicated that it yielded over $30million deposits mostly from a firm with a link with the PDP candidate,” the source said, pleading not to be named because of the “sensitivity” of the matter.

He added: “Obviously, there were remittances from the account of a multi-national company linked with the PDP candidate.”

Responding to a question, the source said: “We closed in on Uyi on Monday. We have decided to detain him pending the conclusion of investigation. “



Another source described Uyi as “a reputable lawyer to Atiku”. “It is not out of place if Atiku’s dossiers are found with him.

“ You also need to appreciate his background and antecedents, he is from a very wealthy heritage. By the time he opens up, the EFCC will know that he is not an overnight associate of Atiku.”

Also yesterday, the Department of State Services (DSS) withdrew its invitation to some Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials – the National Commissioner in charge of Operations, Prof. Okey Ibeanu and four top directors.

The others are: The Director of ICT, Chidi Nwafor; the Director of Procurement, Ken Ukeagu; the Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Wole Osaze Uzzi and the Assistant Director, ICT, Bimbo Oladunjoye.

The five officers were invited through the DSS office in INEC for interrogation over alleged compromise of the operations of the electoral body.

INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu downplayed yesterday at a briefing the invitation of the five officers, which was communicated to them on Monday by a director of the DSS.

Although the invitation was later withdrawn, the development created tension in the commission.

A source said: “The DSS has been working on some clues on how INEC’s Smart Card Readers and sensitive materials got into the hands of some suspects in some states.

“The officers were only invited to shed light on the operational modalities of INEC and why the sabotage occurred. We called on them as part of the comprehensive investigation into some allegations raised by the INEC chairman last Saturday.

“Following a twist in the DSS investigation, the invitation was stepped down. I won’t tell you it was dropped because some INEC officers have been implicated in some deals.”

But a source within INEC said: “The five officers were officially communicated through the DSS office at the close of work on Monday. Early on Tuesday morning, a reminder was sent to all the invitees.

“The invitation generated tension in INEC because those summoned hail mostly from the Southeast, Southsouth and Southwest. Some of them have nothing to do with logistics. We did not know why the DSS left out the director of Logistics and the deputy from the North.

“Some staff also saw it as an attempt to intimidate INEC and its officers. The ethnic tension made the INEC management to wield influence to prevail on the DSS to have a rethink on the invitation because it can disrupt plans for Saturday elections.

“It was based on the grave security implications that the invitation of the five top officers was stepped down.”
