PoliticsRe: Buba Galadima: Nigerians Are Mourning Buhari’s Victory At Tribunal by DonCandido(f): 9:21am On Sep 12, 2019
nairavsdollars:
Temidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos

Alhaji Buba Galadima, a spokesman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the 2019 general elections, on Wednesday said Nigerians have been thrown into a mourning mood following the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari at the Tribunal.

Galadima, who spoke on Channels Television, said many Nigerians believed they have been robbed.
The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal had held that Atiku Abubakar and the PDP had failed to discharge the burden of proof of the allegation of non-qualification of President Muhammadu Buhari to contest the February 23 general election.

Atiku had told the tribunal to nullify Buhari’s election and declare him the authentic winner of the election.
But delivering judgment, Justice Mohammed Garba, held that evidence before the court shows that Buhari won the election.

The property which is located on Number 6, Ogun River Street, Maitama, Abuja was handed over on Thursday to the commission by the EFCC Director of Operations, Mr Mohammed Umar.
Managing Director of NEDC, Mohammed Alkali during the handing over ceremony said the NEDC would make good use of the property.
He added that the property would contribute to the effectiveness of the commission.
This property is the second building belonging to the former Air Chief that is being handed over to a government agency.
The first building which is located at plot 1386 Uda Crescent, Wuse 2, Abuja, was handed over to the management of Voice of Nigeria (VON) to serve as its headquarters.
Does the EFCC have the power under its Act to deal with a recovered asset or proceeds of corruption?

Can it really allocate the property in question?

Can it also allocate forfeited money in similar manner?

Hope justice will take its full place and prevail so that the country will keep moving forward.
Amen to that.

Personally, I think Alhaji Atiku missed a golden opportunity to concede victory to PMB by calling him up to congratulate him after the election. He would have built on the precedent set by GEJ who threw in the towel and earned international accolade as a statesman who loves his country.

Had Atiku done this, he would have helped to heal the division caused by the election and help reduce ethnic tension.

I find it very embarrassing that this man now has to prove that he is a Nigerian at 70+ years or that he actually won the election based on the result copied by an Kenyan from an elusive server!

Atiku needs new advisers and lawyers. It is not too late for him to do the right thing and take his rightful place amongst the pantheon of great African leaders like GEJ et al.

tuniski:
That was their same position in Osun's case. They should be neutral.
Not totally true.

INEC is a creation of the law which is saddled with the conduct of elections. INEC is to follow laid down rules and regulations as contained in the INEC Act.

What a petitioner needs to do is to show by evidence that an election conducted by INEC and in which he was a candidate did NOT comply with the Electoral Act and the regulations made pursuant to it.

The petitioner must call credible witnesses, provide documentary evidence and link ALL together to show how INEC did not follow the law. It is only when a petitioner does this that the onus of proof shifts to INEC.

What INEC needs to show is to demonstrate that it complied SUBSTANTIALLY with the law. No more, no less.

The fulcrum of Atiku and PDP's case before the tribunal is that he won majority of lawful votes and relies on a server's result.

Nigerians who follow political developments avidly know that the 2019 election was conducted based on the old law- 2015 Electoral Act. The are also aware that the last minute attempts by Saraki's Senate to amend the law to allow e-voting failed as the president refused to sign it into law as the purported amendment violate existing law and ECOWAS protocol of which Nigeria is a signatory.

I am of the view that is silly to rely on the evidence of a Kenyan who was told by an INEC whistleblower that Atiku won the election based on result sent to a site allegedly from INEC server.


Common...

The most shocking part of the whole mess of a case was when Atiku's national collation officer abandoned the INEC server claim at the tribunal and admitted that collation was in fact done manually.

That sounds the death knell on Atiku's petition.

Atiku should ask for a refund from his lawyers.

Amnesty International should be wiser than falling for the sentiments Timi and Busola have strongly whipped up.

It is Nigeria for crying out loud.
Where broken down police vans are hand-pushed,
Where the police demand money from complainants to fuel their vehicles so they can effect an arrest.

Those policemen came all the way from Abuja.
So it could be the complainant provided a means of transportation for them or they chartered a bus or they used an unmarked vehicle.

Why are the Dakolos crying foul?

They have a good social media following, several folks have volunteered to contribute towards their legal battles.
Some lawyers even decided to take up the case for free.
They also have an NGO.
Why are they scared now or is there something we don't know?

"That is correct. There are 102 market gaps that we have identified through research, which represents 20 to 30 million Nigerians, who have never made a voice call because they have never seen a mobile phone in their lives, let alone get onto the Internet. They are in darkness."

PoliticsRe: Saudi Arabia To Build Refinery In Nigeria by DonCandido(f): 2:16pm On Apr 25, 2019
ManirBK:
Saudi Arabia has hinted on the possibility of establishing a refinery in Nigeria.

Minister of Energy Industry and Mineral Resources of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Khalid Al Falih dropped the hint during a meeting with Nigeria’s Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu in Riyadh.

Kachikwu who affirmed the Saudi oil minister’s position said Nigeria was looking towards Saudi Arabia because of the country’s successes in the sector.
“We want to leverage on the huge success of Saudi government in terms of petroleum. Last year alone Saudi Aramco, an equivalent of NNPC made about $200 billion as profit.

“We have a lot of common ground, historical ties, and religious ties and there’s a need to move further. We cooperate a lot with one another in OPEC especially in the Ministry of Energy,” Kachikwu said.

He said Nigeria is already setting up a team to make the reasons for the visit a reality.

A statement from Nigeria’s oil ministry, Kachikwu had on Tuesday met with top executives of Saudi Aramco in Dhahran to crystallize ongoing discussions on collaborating with the Federal Government of Nigeria on investments in the oil and gas sector.

The minister was received by the President and Chief Executive Officer of Saudi Aramco, Amin H. Nasser and the top management of the conglomerate.
