The Peoples Democratic Party, the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights and the Campaign for Democracy on Sunday knocked President Muhammadu Buhari for saying he had not done badly, as well as blaming past leaders for the poor state of the economy. The President had on Sunday said considering the condition in which his administration met the country allegedly without savings and the economy vandalised; “we have not done too badly.” According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President spoke while receiving some members of the Buhari Diaspora Support Organisation, led by Mr. Charles Sylvester. Buhari noted that Nigeria was gifted with human and natural resources, but regretted that past leaders failed to capitalise on the nation’s resources to improve the lot of Nigerians. “Failure of some of the leadership we had in the past led to our not being able to capitalise on resources to improve the lot of the people,” the President said. He added that those he described as wicked people plundered the country “and kept Nigerians poor.” Buhari said the damage done to the Nigerian economy in the years of plunder was massive, adding that the government was doing its best to recover some of the loot. “If they had used 50 per cent of the money made when oil prices were as high as $143 per barrel and stabilised at $100, with production at 2.1 million barrels per day for many years, Nigerians would have minded their business. “The stealing was so much and they were so inept that they could not even cover the stealing properly. I wonder how all those things could have happened to our country,” the President said. He commended members of the Buhari Diaspora Support Organisation for deciding to identify with the country when they could have stayed abroad where they were comfortable. “I am happy that people like you are here, on your own, defending the country. You have shown courage and sacrifice. I assure you that your confidence in us won’t be abused; we will do our best to justify it,” Buhari said. Sylvester was quoted as saying that members of the group were happy with the achievements of the Buhari administration so far. Dauda the sexy Prof drowns in Ife waterloo He said the same God who healed the President when he was sick would grant him victory in 2019. He said, “You met a difficult situation, but you have overcome most of them. We are happy with the agriculture revolution, the ease of doing business, the anti-corruption war, the employment of youths through the N-Power programme, and the blockage of leakages in the public sector through the Treasury Single Account. “We are proud of the speed with which you recovered the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls. It shows you as a worthy general. We are happy that you have declared for 2019. Majority of Nigerians are happy, but agents of corruption and darkness are unhappy. “The same God, who healed you when you were ill, will grant you victory in the 2019 elections. You are a General who does not fear combat, either with Generals or non-Generals. “We declare our love and support for you. You are fixing the faulty foundations of our country and second term is when you will build the enduring structure.” You can’t be your own judge, PDP tells Buhari But the Peoples Democratic Party said it was wrong for the President to mark his own scripts, saying there was no way Buhari could judge himself fairly. It said it would be better for the President to listen to the cry of the electorate, who had been regretting voting the former army General into power in 2015. The National Publicity Secretary of the party, Kola Ologbondiyan, who spoke with one of our correspondents in Abuja on Sunday, wondered why the President had not been able to initiate and complete a single project since he assumed office about three years ago. He said, “Only a failure will set questions for himself and sit down to mark it. In this case, ask the President if he was the one who elected himself. He should ask those who voted for him, campaigned for him as well. “If he has done well or he has not done badly as he claimed, let him point to a single project he initiated and completed in three years. Nigerians are tired of a leader like him.” Ologbondiyan said if the President had done his best and the country remained the way it was, it would be better for him to pack his load and leave the Presidential Villa. ‘Buhari never displayed competence in governance’ Also, the Coalition for Nigeria Movement, supported by a former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, lambasted Buhari for always blaming past leaders. The spokesman for the CNM, Mr. Akin Osuntokun, said this during an interview with one of our correspondents on Sunday. Osuntokun said Buhari should not forget to blame himself for Nigeria’s woes since he is also a former leader having served as a military head of state from 1983 to 1985. He said, “He has never displayed competence in the area of governance. It is therefore expected that he will give himself a pass mark. However, while blaming past leaders, he should not forget to blame himself since he also ruled Nigeria in the past. “The President continues to blame everyone for what he fails to do. Transparency International has exposed the deception of his anti-corruption war. This is the same President who indicted his own government when he revealed that the Inspector-General of Police failed to relocate to Benue to curb a crisis as commanded.” The CNM spokesman urged the international community not to be deceived by Buhari’s utterances in London because he would never accept blame for anything. You weren’t elected to pass the buck, CDHR, CD tell Buhari The Committee for the Defence of Human Rights and the Campaign for Democracy, on Sunday said it was not proper for the President to blame past governments for the country’s woes, noting that his “goodwill among Nigerians was fast receding.” The CDHR President, Malachy Ugwummadu, said, “I just hope that there will be an end to passing the buck with this present administration. The energy the government is dissipating on castigating previous governments can be deployed in reorganising the country. “One of the reasons Buhari was voted in was the belief that he would be able to deal with Nigeria’s exigencies, not to come in, pass the buck, and abdicate responsibility. Buhari should not fritter the goodwill of Nigerians he has, which is fast receding.” Also, the CD President, Usman Abdul, said, “The President should be mindful of what he says about past leaders because he was also a former leader of the country. The President has not done any better than the previous governments.” http://punchng.com/knocks-as-buhari-says-he-hasnt-done-too-badly/ |

you can't gag nigeria; PDP tells buhari |
Femi Adesina, special adviser to the president on media and publicity, says he feels nothing but pity for those twisting the words of his principal to demonise him. Adesina said there is a plot to twist and slant every word from the president in the negative, all in a bid to “demean, de-market, and demonise” and make him unattractive to the electorate. Describing it as “irresponsible politics”, Adesina said much of that is expected as election approaches. He added that “sensible” Nigerians would queue behind Buhari at the polls next year and at the end of it all, “the detractors would be holding the short ends of the stick and looking small, forlorn and disconsolate”. He was reacting to the reports on President Muhammadu Buhari’s comment during his meeting with Justin Wellby, archbishop of Canterbury, in London. “Since President Muhammadu Buhari met with the Archbishop of Canterbury in London on Wednesday and spoke on the likely impact of gunmen trained by former Libyan leader, Muammar Gaddafi, on the killings by herdsmen in Nigeria, some people have virtually flown off the handle, ululating as if wailing was going out of fashion,” he wrote on Facebook. “They twisted the meaning of Mr. President’s words (yes, some people twist everything, even the words of God; 2 Peter:3, 15,16). They claimed he was blaming Gaddafi, long dead, for the killings in Nigeria. But let’s see the vacuousness and intellectual laziness in the twist they have given what President Buhari said, out of sheer malice and evil hearts. Sadly, even a Senator was involved in the sickening display of poisonous heart. That’s what you get when small minds get into high places. “The President talked about the influx of militia trained, armed and used by Gaddafi, who now dispersed into different countries, including possibly Nigeria, after the Libyan strongman’s death. Are some people claiming ignorance of such development, despite it being global knowledge? So deep must be the ignorance of such people. Simple research will show them the Libyan influence on proliferation of small arms all over Africa, after Gaddafi’s death. “The president then talked about the herdsmen we used to know, who carried just sticks, and at worst a cutlass, saying those armed with sophisticated weapons were unknown to this clime. Is that not true? If herdsmen have suddenly turned murderous in a country, it calls for all sorts of interrogation, including intellectual, as to what may have gone wrong. The causes could be multifarious. And solutions must be jointly proffered.” The presidential spokesman said those who allegedly painting Buhari in bad light are more interested in problems than solutions. “A president has sensitive security reports available to him. President Buhari gave another vista from which the herdsmen/farmers clashes could be considered, but rather than be reflective and do critical interrogation, the wailers engaged in their pastime: they began to wail, including senators and people who should naturally be level-headed and examine issues dispassionately. Very sorry,” he said. “But we are working on solutions, President Buhari told the cleric. They ignored that. It holds no meaning for them. They are interested in problems, not solutions. Problems serve their pernicious interests more. Pity! “That is what hatred does to the heart. It stunts the mind and poisons the soul. Such heart plays petty partisan and divisive politics with every matter. It is what President Buhari at that meeting called ‘irresponsible politics’. And as we head for general elections next year, much more of it would be seen, except such people reform, and put on their thinking caps. “The tendency now is to twist and slant every word from President Buhari in the negative, all in a bid to demean, de-market, and demonize him, and make him unattractive to the electorate. But those who do it are to be pitied. Sensible Nigerians know what the President is doing for the country, and would queue behind him at the polls next year. At the end of it all, the detractors would be holding the short ends of the stick and looking small, forlorn and disconsolate. Where would they then hide their faces?” https://www.thecable.ng/femi-adesina-pity-using-buharis-words-demonise/amp/

the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), leave to summon Lai Mohammed, minister of information and the federal government. Ike Abonyi, spokesman of the PDP chairman, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday. According to Abonyi, Adama Iyayi-Lamikanra, the presiding judge, granted that the defendants be served by substituted means all the originating processes together with accompanying processes, after which the case was adjourned to Monday, April 23, 2018. Mohammed had listed Secondus among those who allegedly looted the nation’s treasury. He had said the PDP chairman collected N200million from the former national security adviser (NSA), an allegation Secondus denied. Secondus had given the minister a 48-hour ultimatum to withdraw the list and tender an apology. In a suit filed at a high court in Port Harcourt, Rivers capital, Secondus asked the court to award him N1.5b as damages for “humiliation, castigation, vilification attack on his person and integrity as a result of the publication.” He also asked the court to compel Mohammed to retract the said publication and apologise in writing. Secondus said the retraction should be published on all social media platforms, selected newspapers and television stations. He also sought a perpetual injunction restraining the defendant from further publishing defamatory materials against him. https://www.thecable.ng/looters-list-court-grants-secondus-leave-summon-lai/amp

jerryunit48:EFCC doesn't have any case. Just looking for distractions |
This EFCC are not serious at all. Running up and down from court to court seeking forfeture order. Here the case was rulled out last year. They are now in another court. THE Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday dec 6, 2017 vacated an order it made on May 30, freezing 16 separate bank accounts linked to wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience.http://realnewsmagazine.net/politics/court-unfreezes-patience-jonathans-16-bank-accounts/ |
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Thursday, adduced reason behind its bid to take possession of two Abuja properties that were linked to wife of former President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience. EFCC boss Magu and Patience Jonathan It told the Federal High Court in Abuja that the said properties, registered in the name of Ariwabai Aruera Reachout Foundation/Women For Change and Development Initiative, a pet project initiated by the former first lady, are currently subjects of money laundering investigations. In an ex-parte motion that was moved by its lawyer, Mr. Benjamin Manji, the anti-agency urged the court to grant it the ownership of Plot No. 1960, Cadastral Zone A05 Maitama District and Plot No. 1758, Cadastral Zone A00, Business District in Abuja, belonging to Mrs. Jonathan’s foundation. It prayed the court for an order of interim attachment/forfeiture of assets and properties of the foundation, as well as “an order stopping any disposal, conveyance, mortgage, lease, sale or alienation or otherwise of the property/asset”. In a supporting affidavit that was deposed to by one Mr. Kolawole Mukaila, EFCC, told the court that it had sometimes in 2016, received via inteligence report to the office of its Executive Chairman, an alleged case of conspiracy and money laundering. Mukaila said he was a member of a special task force that was constituted to investigate alleged amounts of money laundered by Mrs. Jonathan, “into various accounts and properties purchased, which are disproportionate to her known source of income”. According to him, “My team swung into action to conduct a descreet investigation by writing letters to Ecobank, Diamond bank, Corporate Affairs Commission and AGIS. “That in the course of investigation, it was revealed from the responses from the C.A.C and Abuja Geographical Information Systems that the plots of land were allocated to Ariwabai Aruera Reach out Foundation belonging to the former first lady, Patience Jonathan and her allies. “That investigation further reveals the accounts held by Ariwabai Aruera Reachout Foundation had the former first lady, Patience Jonathan as one of the trustees and signatories of the account. Copies of the response from Diamond bank and Ecobank are herebu attached and marked as Exhibit EFCC 2A- 2B respectively. “That investigation also revealed that the plots of land were allocated in 2010 and the Certificate of Occupancy was issued in 2011. “That all the above stated payment/transfers/purchases had no contract award backing it up whatsoever and as such was reasonably suspected to be fraudulent payments and an illegal dissipation of the nation’s resources”, he added. EFCC insisted that it would be legally improper for the court to hear any counter-application from the former first lady regarding its request for interim forfeiture order on the properties. It maintained that since its prayer was anchored on an ex-parte motion, Mrs. Jonathan ought not be heard by the court before such preservative orders are granted. “Section 7(1b) of the EFCC Act gives the Commission the powers to investigate persons and properties even without prompting of any person or petition, if the agency feels it is proceed of crime”, EFCC lawyer, Manji submitted. Meanwhile, in a counter-motion, Mrs. Jonathan, through her lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, challenged the powers of EFCC to take possesion of assets of her Foundation. She prayed the court to strike out EFCC’s ex-parte Originating Motion dated September 20, 2017, on the ground that the court lacked the jurisdiction to entertain the application which she said was legally defective. While moving the motion dated October 16, 2017, Ozehkome maintained that EFCC has not proved that his client ever engaged in any form of illegality. He said EFCC merely based its suspicion on fact that the Foundation never executed any contract to warrant its ownership of such assets. Ozekhome urged the court to ignore EFCC’s submission that his client should not be heard since the application for temporary forfeiture was brought ex-parte. “This is a proper case for my lord to hold that the EFCC cannot shave our head in our absence”, he added. Besides, he asked the court to sanction EFCC for instigating the demolition of part of the disputed properties, despite the pendency of the suit. In a six-paragraphed affidavit that was deposed on her behalf by one Chinedu Maduba, Mrs. Jonathan told the court that the NGO was founded in 2006 when she was the first lady of Bayelsa state, in conjunction with other trustees. “That the said NGO was registered as a charitable organization and in the last 10 years, it has carried out several charitable programmes, in line with its objectives. Some of the programmes include vocational training for women, treatment of people with heart and kidney problems within the country and abroad, as well as assisting less priviledged generally. “That recently, the Respondent herein began to harrass Mrs. Patience Jonathan, her relatives and the NGO, by indiscriminately freezing their accounts, even without court order, breaking into their properties, sealing off the NGO’s properties without an order of court. “That the actions of the Respondent led to the filing of a Fundamental Human Right suit against the Respondent by Mrs. Patience Jonathan”. She argued that EFCC’s application was an abuse of court process, saying it was filed to overreach a fundamental right suit that was lodged by one of the trustees of Ariwabai Aruera Reachout Foundation, against EFCC with respect to assets/properties of the Foundation. After he had listened to all the parties, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba fixed April 30 for ruling. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/04/why-were-after-patience-jonathans-properties-efcc-tells-court/

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has tasked the National Assembly to look into what it called the “current power vacuum,” arising from the President Muhammadu Buhari’s departure for the United Kingdom (UK) on Monday. This is even as the party accused the first citizen of shrouding his “private visit” to London in secrecy. In a statement signed by the party’s image maker, Kola Ologbondiyan on Thursday, the party noted that the failure to transmit a letter to the lawmakers without allegedly transferring power to the Vice President portend a constitutional crisis if not well handled. “PDP demands that the National Assembly save the nation from an imminent constitutional crisis by immediately commencing processes to address the current power vacuum in the country, following President Muhammadu Buhari’s decision to embark on a private trip abroad without officially transmitting power to the Vice President. “More astonishing is the fact that President Buhari did not transmit a letter to the National Assembly indicating that he was going on a week’s vacation ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM),” the statement read, adding that “The intervention of the federal legislature has become a national imperative, as the President’s action has put the nation in clear danger.” The party also expressed doubt as to the true purpose of the UK trip, stressing that on arrival; no government official of that country was on hand to symbolically receive him. “It is incontrovertible that President Buhari is on a private trip to the UK as he was not received on arrival, by the government of that country; has not had any contact with the British Prime Minister, Theresa May or any high official of the UK government and has not conducted any official business since his arrival to the country on Monday. “Since Monday, President Buhari has been holidaying in London and has been unable to discharge the functions of his office, in total disregard to the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution, disdain to Nigerians and flagrant abuse of his presidential office. “By embarking on this vacation and abdicating his official functions without transmitting a written declaration to the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and holding on to power while on vacation, President Buhari acted in gross violation of Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended),” the party alleged. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/04/buharis-uk-trip-pdp-urges-nass-address-power-vacuum/amp/ |
