God bless this pple. That's what they should have done all along. Bt must they wait for all nigerian kids to enter a tire hole of an aircraft before they know that nigerian children have dreams??

Damn!!! The dearth of morality in Nigeria keeps on increasing and its so unfortunate that its prevalence is among the youths(the so-called "leaders of tomorrow"). May God save us all from this plethora of chronic indecency that has eaten ûp into the youths of our dear country.

What do u fink?? That She gives a damn about it? Nt @ all.. Lola will still marry him as long as †ђξ Range Rover will still have fuel in it..

There was confusion in Taraba State on Wednesday as the
Speaker of the House of Assembly, Mr. Haruna Tsokwa and
the Majority Leader, Mr. Joseph Albasu, disagreed on who ran the affairs of the state as governor. While Tsokwa said the Deputy Governor, Alhaji Alhaji Garba Umar, would continue to act as governor until the Assembly deliberated on the letter by the recuperating Governor Danbaba Suntai seeking to resume duty, Albasu claimed that Suntai had already taken charge as the state's Chief Executive.

The Majority Leader told journalists at the assembly complex in Jalingo that the lawmakers gave the governor the nod to begin work since he had fulfilled the provisions of the 1999
Constitution. Albasu, who said he was speaking for all the lawmakers, added that the governor was mentally fit to carry out his duties. He argued that the constitution did not make it mandatory for a governor to appear before the assembly on the matter in question. The Majority Leader, also stated that it was against the spirit of the constitution for the assembly to debate the letter by Suntai.

But the Speaker faulted him, saying the governor must appear
before the Assembly or be prepared to receive its principal
officers in his office in the Government House, Jalingo.
He said, "Governor Suntai has transmitted a letter to the
Assembly, but his deputy, Alhaji Umar, will continue to act,
until this assembly deliberates on his letter."

The PUNCH however learnt that the lawmakers might
deliberate on the letter on Wednesday (today).
The speaker, who claimed that he was unaware of the claims by the Majority Leader, also confirmed earlier reports that Suntai's wife blocked him from seeing her husband on Tuesday. Tsokwa became the speaker when Istifanus Haruna Gbana -an ally of Suntai, was removed while Suntai was still receiving treatment abroad for injuries he sustained last October when a small plane he piloted crashed.

Findings by The PUNCH on Tuesday showed that apart from
the speaker, who led a delegation to the Government House,
Alhaji Umar; the Commissioner in charge of the state Police
Command and the Director of State Security Service were
prevented from seeing the governor by Suntai's family members and influential associates on Tuesday.

There were reports on Monday that Umar, who acted as
governor during the 10 months that Suntai was out of the
country, was barred from seeing the governor on his arrival at
the Jalingo Airport. But a credible source had told The PUNCH that the deputy governor met the governor in Jalingo even before he alighted from the aircraft that flew him there.

Sources close to the state government informed one of our
correspondents on Tuesday that Umar, Tsokwa and the two
security chiefs were told that Suntai would not be able to see
them until he had rested for 72 hours. One of the sources said, "What we have been told is that the governor will rest for 72 hours in compliance with the instructions of his doctors. This was the explanation they also gave to the D-G, SSS and the CP. They were there to see him, but they were stopped."
According to another source, "the speaker's delegation was kept waiting for about one hour and the governor's wife (Hauwa) later told them that Suntai was resting."

He added that because of the development, the state House of
Assembly had resolved to sit on Wednesday (today) and debate the governor's letter.
"What the members have decided is to sit tomorrow (today) and formally invite the governor to address the House. He has been away for about 10 months; so, coming to address them will at least put all the speculations and uncertainties surrounding his health to rest", the source added.

Asked what Taraba stakeholders considered to be the way
forward for the state, a top Peoples Democratic Party member
from the state, said that much depended on the assembly's
decision. He said, "This situation must be addressed with all the caution that it requires. There is no point rushing things or being unnecessarily preemptive. "If the House say they are going to invite him, the right thing is to await the outcome of the decision of the House. Let them come up with their decision."

In Abuja, the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties and the
Inter Party Advisory Council called on the state House of
Assembly to set up a medical panel to examine Suntai's state of health. Both CNPP and IPAC, whose officials spoke separately with the News Agency of Nigeria, said this was in accordance with the provisions of the 1999 Constitution.

The CNPP National Publicity Secretary, Mr Osita Okechukwu, told NAN that the assembly should set up the panel immediately "to determine if Suntai is capable or incapable of carrying out his constitutional functions."
IPAC, through its chairman, Mr. Yusuf Tanko, also said the
governor's health status must be established before any action
could be taken. It said, "It is in the interest of democracy that Suntai's health situation is established. If he is found incapable, there are constitutional provisions that should be followed, otherwise we will continue to put democracy in danger.''

In Lagos, human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), gave a three-day ultimatum to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr.
Mohammed Abubakar, to investigate the governor's letter of
intention to resume duty. Falana, in a letter to Abubakar, which was obtained by one of our correspondents, threatened to go to court if his demand was not met before the expiration of the ultimatum. The letter reads in part, "We therefore urge you, in the interest of the people of Taraba State and Nigeria as a whole, to use your good offices to cause a detailed investigation to confirm the authenticity of the letter of intention sent by the Governor of Taraba State. We believe that the letter of intention may have been forged by the governor's handlers."

Another civil rights lawyer, Mr. Bamidele Aturu, said Suntai's
medical fitness must be ascertained to avert "governance by
proxy." Aturu said, "We thank God that he has returned. But it is not all about returning. We want to know if he is capable of performing the functions of his office. His state of health must be ascertained by a medical team otherwise Taraba State may be governed by somebody else we don't know. That will amount to governance by proxy, which is not recognised by the constitution."

Chairman, Ikeja branch of the Nigerian Bar Association, Mr.
Monday Ubani, who described as worrisome "the secrecy that
still surrounds Suntai's health status", argued that it was criminal to allow an ill person to govern a state. Ubani said, "Why are these facts shrouded in secrecy and why are Nigerians, nay the citizens of his state, denied the
opportunity of hearing from their governor. It will amount to
fraud and ill governor to run the state contrary to the express
provision of the constitution."

Two civil society groups - Say No Campagin and United Action for Democracy - also criticised the politicisation of Suntai's illness and return by "some people who are against the state." The groups, at a joint press conference in Abuja, described the hasty tranmission of the letter to the state House of Assembly as "the handiwork of political jobbers bent on satisfying selfish interest at the detriment of the state."

The Convener of the SNC, Ezenwa Nwagwu, said, "While we
sympathise with the Sunatais and the entire people of Taraba
State, we however condemn unequivocally, the attempt by some political vultures within and outside the state who are bent on holding the whole state to ransom and making effective governance once again unrealistic."

The UAD Director, Jaye Gaskia, likened what was happening
in Taraba State to a repeat of the late President Umaru
Yar'Adua's saga when he was brought in by his associates to
keep running the country even though he was incapable of
doing so.

Also,the Conscience Nigeria and Northern Youth Assembly
disagreed with those advising the state House of Assembly to
invoke relevant sections of the 1999 Constitution to make Umar the state governor. According to them, the deputy governor cannot be made a substantive governor, given the fact that he was not democratically elected alongside the governor in 2011. They argued that Umar was handpicked by the governor after the impeachment of the former deputy governor, Alhaji Sani Abubakar.

The Executive Director of CN, Mr. Tosin Adeyanju, and
Speaker of NYA, Mr Gideon Oband, who stated this at a press conference in Abuja on Tuesday, asked the state assembly to urgently treat Monday's letter from the governor so that he could resume work in earnest.

simpleseyi: Using my church PDP mind to look at this issue critically. I think this man is fully fit to perform his functions as the state governor. Though, he cannot walk on his own without assistant, but he has many personal assistants who will assist him. Besides, he does not need to walk to office, he can always be carried to the office. As per his mental ability, that is no issue na, after all Abacha that had mental disorder ruled the country for many years. Even Idris Wada was proven in the election tribunal of being a run-away psychiatric patient of UI teaching hospital and the guy is still ruling his state. What about our dear Dame Sheppopotamus, are we sure she is mental okay with the way she has been behaving?

So, please let the man continue in office until he rests in pieces like Yar'Adua and get state burial. He can then meet Yar'Adua or Abacha and share out of the 70 virgins allocated to each of them in the great beyond.

Bros can't ƴ☺ů see that it is crystal clear †ђξ reason why these ex-leaders acted †ђξ way they did SMH for naija.

Whoa... Dis one is strong "ele igidi gon"... Ȋ̝̊̅̄ still find it hard to believe but Ȋ̝̊̅̄ gotta leave M̶̲̥̅̊y̶̲̥̅̊ lips sealed. May God have mercy oo :-XWhoa...

Two things come to my mind.
1. The senate just passed a bill supproting child abuse.
2. The presidency has began to support Sen. Sani so as to give him the support he wants for his 2015 ambition. If not why would such a stupid bill be re-visited and passed when there are far mor important bills to be passed in favour of the masses I pity naija. SMH

homesteady: I'm sure many people will agree to this!!
Prof wole soyinka surely needs to be in NL hall of shame for 2013!! I am sure you know why!!

ABUJA—Northern youths reacted angrily to the rumoured plan
by the Presidency to replace the Vice President, Namadi Sambo
with the former Zamfara State Governor, Senator Ahmed Sani
Yerima, as a means of winning the support of more Muslims
ahead the 2015 election.
President Jonathan, facing some resistance from the North, was
said to have met with the former Zamfara governor on how he
could help mobilise block support from the region for his re-
election.

The President, who met with some Muslim scholars and leaders
on his anticipated second term bid, was said to have been
impressed by the senator’s role in facilitating the meeting.It was
gathered that the senator promised to mobilise support for him.
However, the President of the Arewa Youth Forum, Gambo
Gujungu, told Vanguard last night that the North would never
support Jonathan in 2015 whether he used Sambo or Yerima as
running mate.
Gujungu pointed out that Jonathan’s plan to jettison Sambo for
Yerima would only aggravate his political problems rather than
give him any edge in the North.
“The main reason we cannot support him is that he wants to
further divide the North and create more problems so as to
exacerbate our poverty, backwardness and disunity,” the AYF
leader said.
“But I can assure you that whatever those who are advising the
President are plotting against the North will only backfire on
them because as far as we know, he has not done anything in
the North despite the fact that Sambo has been serving him
loyally and faithfully.
The attempt to draft Yerima into the presidential team is coming
in the wake of opposition to Jonathan’s rumoured second term
in office, which the North is stoutly opposed to, hinging its
opposition on the fact that the President had promised to do only
a term, which would end in 2015.
