PoliticsShehu Sani Hails Ngige For Allowing His Daughter Study In Nigeria by Dovegrey(op): 9:22am On Sep 11, 2021
Former Senator representing
Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani has
mocked Nigerian leaders who
send their children abroad to
study.

Shehu Sani in a post on Saturday
via his Facebook page, made the
mockery while reacting to the Dr.
Christ Ngige’s daughter who
graduated from the University of
Lagos.

“Dr. Chris Ngige is proud to
showcase his daughter graduating
from UNILAG; other leaders in
office will show theirs abroad
and preach patriotism to you”,
he posted.

Many believed that the move by
the minister of labour and
employment, Dr. Ngige to allow
his daughter study in one of the
nation’s universities instead of
sending her abroad is a paradigm
shift from the usual practice by
political leaders in the country.

Some Nigerians are of the view
that a law should be enacted to
compel all political office holders
to stop sending their children to
school in foreign countries, as
well as stop them from going
outside the country for medical
tourism.

Politics2023: APC Not Interested In Igbo Presidency But a Nigerian Presidency - Uzodinma by Dovegrey(op): 5:00am On Sep 11, 2021
Ahead of 2023 general elections, Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State, on Friday, said the All Progressives Congress, APC, is not interested in Igbo presidency.

Uzodinma spoke while dismissing claims of APC zoning its presidential ticket to the Southeast.

Appearing on Channels Television, Uzodinma said APC is looking for a Nigerian president.

Asked if APC is committed to zoning the 2023 presidential ticket to the South-East, he responded: “We are not looking for an Igbo President. We are looking for a President of Nigeria.

“We as a party APC believe what we are practicing here is partisan democracy and every politician must be loyal to his party.

“At the end of the day it is the decision of the party that you belong to that will matter.”

PoliticsIt’s Wake Up Call To Arewa Leaders – Ganduje’s Ex-aide Backs Wike On VAT by Dovegrey(op): 12:20pm On Sep 10, 2021
Salihu Tanko Yakasai, former aide
to Kano Governor, Abdullahi
Ganduje, has supported Governor
Nyesom Wike on payment of tax
to the state government.

DAILY POST recalls that the
Rivers State Government, through
the State Attorney General, had
challenged the collection of VAT
by the Federal Government
agency in court.

Wike had directed the Rivers
State’s Internal Revenue Service
to immediately commence the
implementation of the state’s
value-added law 2021.

He directed all corporate bodies
to pay their taxes to the state
government or risk being
sanctioned including “the sealing
off of their businesses”.

“Let me warn that the Rivers
State Government is fully in
charge of the state and will not
tolerate any further attempt by
the FIRS to sabotage or
undermine our authority to freely
administer our tax and other
related laws in our own State.

Those who play with fire risk
having their fingers burnt. Enough
of the shenanigans,” Wike
warned.

Governor Wike said the law will
be in place until the judgment is
set aside by a superior court.

Dawisu, on his Twitter page, said
any northerner opposing VAT to
the state government does not
mean well for his people.

According to him, it is time for
northern leaders to wake up and
seek how to revive the region’s
economic status in the country.

“Any northerner that’s
attacking Wike on this VAT issue
does not mean well for his
region. On this I’m with Wike
100%.

“Its time we look inwards and
do some soul searching on how
to revive our economic status in
this country.

“To me, this is a wake up call
to Arewa leaders and
followers,” Dawisu said.

PoliticsWhy Igbos Should Not Leave Nigeria – Buhari by Dovegrey(op): 6:18am On Sep 10, 2021
President Muhammadu Buhari has
highlighted why people of the
Southeast should not leave Nigeria.

Buhari said Igbos are fundamental
to Nigeria’s growth and
economy.

Speaking in Owerri, Imo State on
Thursday, Buhari said it would be
“unthinkable” for Igbos to
leave Nigeria.

A statement by the president’s
spokesman, Femi Adesina,
disclosed that Buhari made the
remark during a Town Hall
meeting with Igbo leaders.

According to Buhari:“The
fundamental thing about the Igbo
people is that there is no town
you will visit in Nigeria without
seeing the Igbos being in charge
of either infrastructure or
pharmaceutical industry.

“Therefore, it is unthinkable for
me that any Igbo man would
consider himself not to be a part
of Nigeria.

“The evidence is there for
everyone to see that Igbos are in
charge of Nigeria’s economy.”

The president assured the
Southeast that they stand to
benefit more from his
administration.

He said there are ongoing
infrastructural developments in
the Southeast region.

Meanwhile, the Indigenous People
of Biafra, IPOB, led by Nnamdi
Kanu has been agitating for the
actualization of Biafra and by
extension Nigeria’s break up.

However, Kanu is locked up by
the Department of State Services,
DSS, following his rearrest in
Kenya.

PoliticsIPOB Declares War On Unkown Gunmen, Police by Dovegrey(op):
Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has said it was ready to deal with gunmen killing and maiming people in the South East under the guise of Eastern Security Network (ESN).

In a statement by the Media and Publicity Secretary of the group, yesterday, Emma Powerful, IPOB said most of the killings were perpetrated by gunmen masquerading as members of its security outfit.

Powerful, while urging the armed men to desist from the act, also cautioned the police to stop parading them as members of ESN just as it equally warned them to stop harassing innocent Igbo youths.

The spokesperson warned that if the police does not desist from alleged harassment of the youths from South East, the group, he said, will be left with no option but to unleash ESN on them.

“Nigerian Police should stop parading innocent people and tagging them ESN personnel because parading innocent people and tagging them ESN shows that
Nigeria police and army have failed.

“Those people you are parading to the public are not ESN members. Nigeria must stop ridiculing themselves in the world becauseeveryone is watching their activities.

“Nigeria Army, police
and other security agencies cannot reach or enter ESN camp.

We are bothered about the propaganda and fake information they are dishing out to the public. These people they are
parading to the public are not ESN members.

“Nigerian Police must release those they picked and tagged ESN
operatives or charge them to court.”

Apex Igbo socio-cultural
organisation Ohanaeze Ndigbo has
described as unwise for a group
to dictate to the people of the
South-East the days to work and
when to stay at home.

Ohanaeze appealed to the
members of the Indigenous
People of Biafra to rescind the
every Monday-sit-at-home order
handed down to Ndigbo for
Nnamdi Kanu.

It also appealed to the military
and police authorities to stop the
militarisation of the South-East
where a checkpoint was sited at
every kilometre like a conquered
territory.

Recall that IPOB had declared
every Monday sit-at-home,
starting from August 9, in
solidarity with their leader,
Nnamdi Kanu.

Ohanaeze said the sit-at-home
would increase the hardship the
Igbo, who were going through
military and police checkpoints
stiflingly the economy of the
region.

Ohanaeze said the sit-at-home
would increase the hardship the

The National Publicity Secretary
of Ohanaeze, Chief Alex
Ogbonnia, who made the appeal in
a telephone interview, advised
the
group that instead of declaring
every Monday sit-at-home, they
should come together to chart a
way forward.

He said, “For a group to come
up to try to dictate for the Igbo
on the days to go to work and
days they shouldn’t go to work
for Nnamdi Kanu is unwise. The
wise thing to do is to make
wider consultation with the people
and
the leadership of the

PoliticsPDP Governorship Aspirants Must Uphold Anti-open Grazing Law –ngbede by Dovegrey(op): 6:20am On Aug 04, 2021
The expanded caucus of the
Benue State chapter of the
Peoples Democratic Party, on
Tuesday, resolved that all
gubernatorial aspirants must
commit to upholding the state anti-open grazing law if elected.

The state chairman of the party,
John Ngbede stated this while
moving a motion for a vote of
confidence on the state Governor,
Samuel Ortom.

Ngbede said that the only
panacea to the constant invasion
of Benue communities and
occupation of the land by Fulani
herders was the sustenance of
the anti-open grazing law.

Ngbede stated this at the New
Banquet Hall of the government
house, Makurdi.

In his address, Ortom said that
PDP was waxing stronger with
the array of defectors from the
All Progressives Congress, and
other political parties to the party.

The leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, has again met with his lawyer, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, while being detained in the facility of the Department of State Service.

Ejiofor disclosed this in a message titled “Update” issued on Monday evening.

He wrote, “After weeks of speculations and uncertainties, we have finally seen our client-Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. We can authoritatively confirm this position to the world.

“He is firm and stable, less the burden of solitary confinement and concomitant mental torture arising therefrom. Though the detaining authority is giving him medical attention but he still requires advanced medical care, which formed substantial part of the relief in our application before the court.”

He also stated Kanu requested that he extends his compliment to millions of his supporters and all foreign governments and institutions, and media houses who are relentlessly following up.

“We are winning but your prayers are doing wonders, don’t relent, as you continue to remain law-abiding.

“We shall continue to keep you all in constant communication on every development around him particularly now that the visit will be more regular than before,” Ejiofor added.

The Nigerian Army says the troops of Operation Hadin Kai have taken custody of 91 Boko Haram/Islamic States West Africa Province terrorists and their families who surrendered recently in North East.

The Director, Army Public Relations, Brig.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, disclosed this in a statement on Friday in Abuja.

Nwachukwu said the troops of 202 Battalion took custody of eight insurgents and their families, comprising 10 adult females and 22 children, who surrendered at Ruwaza village in Bama Local Government Area of Borno.

He said the troops of Forward Operational Base operating along BoCobs-Bama road also arrested 20 terrorists and their families, who surrendered to troops at Nbewa village also in Bama Local Government Area.

According to him, the surrendered families of the insurgents comprised 15 adult females and 26 children.

“The suspects all surrendered to the troops, during clearance operations in the areas on July 29, following ongoing intense clearance operations by troops in the general areas.

PoliticsAKK Gas Pipeline’ll Revive 232 Industries, Others – NNPC by Dovegrey(op): 2:13pm On Jul 30, 2021
The Ajaokuta-Kaduna-Kano gas
pipeline project currently under
construction will help revamp
about 232 industries, create
employment opportunities and
lead to the development of three Independent Power Plants in Abuja, Kaduna and Kano.

Group Managing Director, Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation,
Mele Kyari, said this on Thursday
at the Gas Sector Stakeholders’
Forum in Kano State.

Kyari said in a statement issued
in Abuja by NNPC spokesperson,
Kennie Obateru, that the ongoing
614km gas pipeline would be
delivered on schedule and would
serve as gas supply link to other
African countries and Europe upon
completion.

He was quoted as saying, “This
project has been on the drawing
board for 30 years and the dream
was to have gas delivered to
Europe across the Trans-Sahara
route.

“What we are seeing today
would deliver at least two billion
standard cubic feet of gas to the
domestic market at the first
instance with the potential to
increase it.

“What this means is that it will
de-bottleneck the gas supply
network in the entire country.”

Kyari said the President, Major
General Muhammadu Buhari
(retd.), had provided all the
necessary support and incentives
to deliver on this project.

The NNPC boss further noted
that the AKK gas project would
boost the agricultural and
manufacturing sectors, adding
that it would reduce the
nation’s carbon footprint as part
of measures to cut down on
global warming and climate
change.

In his keynote address, the
Minister of State for Petroleum
Resources, Chief Timipre Sylva,
said the forum would ensure
collaboration among stakeholders
to kick-start activities that would
guarantee the usage of the gas
to be delivered through the AKK
pipeline when completed.
