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/ |

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has said that President Muhammadu Buhari was becoming an embarrassment to Nigerians, urging his handlers to desist from allowing him to speak extempore. Governor Fayose, who was reacting to the President’s claim that former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, should be blamed for the ongoing herdsmen killings across the North Central of Nigeria said; “It is embarrassingly shameful that the President has taken his blame game to the international level by blaming the dead for his cluelessness.” According to a statement issued on Thursday, by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said it was becoming obvious that “Very soon, President Buhari will blame those who elected him for his failure.” While meeting with the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby in London Wednesday, President Buhari had said that the arms Gaddafi, who was killed seven years ago provided to his supporters had filtered into Nigeria where they are now being used to fuel killings across the north-central. Governor Fayose, who described the President’s statement as embarrassing, asked how many Libyans were killed by herdsmen in the last three years. “Nigerians are accusing President Buhari and his government of complicity in the herdsmen killings and all that the President could do in response is to blame Gaddafi, who became history seven years ago? This is no doubt another international embarrassment from a President who knows nothing other than to blame people for his own failure. “Methinks those handling the President should see to it he is prevented from speaking outside Nigeria without a prepared speech. “The other time, he went to Germany to embarrass Nigeria by referring to the chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel, as ‘President Michelle of West Germany.” Governor Fayose said President Buhari should rather face the reality of his government’s failure to secure the lives and properties of Nigerians as well as its seeming culpability in the herdsmen killings instead of going to foreign lands to advertise his cluelessness by blaming the dead. https://newtelegraphonline.com/2018/04/herdsmen-killings-buhari-is-an-embarrassment-for-blaming-gaddafi-fayose/

Nigeria’s President, Facing Calls to Step Aside, Says He Will Run Again- New York Times World Despite calls to step aside and concerns about mysterious health problems, President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria on Monday declared his intention to seek re-election next year, ending months of speculation. In a closed-door meeting of the National Executive Committee, after national news outlets had left the room, Mr. Buhari, 75, announced that he would run again, according to people who were present and briefed reporters afterward. They said he had told the committee that he was responding to popular demand that he seek another term. Mr. Buhari has faced widespread criticism over his government’s inability to defeat the renewed Boko Haram insurgency in the northeast, or to end violence between herders and farming communities. Last year, he spent nearly four months in Britain receiving treatment for an illness that the government has not disclosed, leading to fears that he would never return. Some voters may see a second term as a steadying force, and his supporters have argued that Mr. Buhari, a former army general, needs more time to battle Boko Haram, and to defeat corruption and other entrenched economic problems. Last week, his government made a statement urging Nigerians to “count the blessings that the administration has brought to the country’s economy,” citing a World Bank report ranking the nation as one of the top 10 in the world in making economic overhauls. But over the past year, calls for him not to run again — or even to step down before his current term ends — have grown steadily. Two former presidents, civic leaders, opposition politicians and even some of Mr. Buhari’s former allies have said he should make way for a younger generation of leaders. Within hours of announcing his intention to run, the president traveled to London to attend a meeting of Commonwealth leaders. His office did not give a date for his return, leading to renewed rumors in the Nigerian capital, Abuja, that Mr. Buhari would once again be receiving medical attention in London. Mr. Buhari enjoyed widespread support after winning the election in 2015, but it dissipated as Nigeria suffered through a recession in 2016 and 2017, and new attacks from Boko Haram, the Islamist rebel group. “Security and the economy are the two main areas of disillusionment,” said Sola Tayo, a fellow at Chatham House, a British foreign affairs think tank. “Whilst the economy has picked up since the recession, the security situation appears to be deteriorating.” “The herder-farmer conflict, rural banditry and the increase in kidnapping are being discussed more openly and government performance being judged more critically,” she said. It was predictable that Mr. Buhari would run again, said Ayisha Osori, a Nigerian author, lawyer and political activist. As for whether he would win, “it is too early to say,” she said. “A lot will depend on the other candidates.” The highest-profile challenger to emerge so far is Atiku Abubakar, 71, a former vice president and wealthy businessman who has said he will run in 2019. The election is expected to be held in February. To remind Nigerians of Mr. Buhari’s appeal, his office has released pictures of crowds warmly greeting the president in several visits to mostly northern cities, his base of support. Nigeria has an unofficial practice of alternating the presidency between the mostly Christian south and the predominantly Muslim north. Ms. Osori said that ambitious southern contenders might decide that it makes more sense to wait until the president has served two terms — the maximum allowed by law — and it is clearly the south’s “turn.” Mr. Buhari's return to Nigeria last August only partially eased the fevered speculation about his health. When Mr. Buhari worked from home for several weeks, his spokesman explained it was because of the presence of rats in the president’s office. He became the subject of widespread ridicule in Nigeria. That ridicule turned to anger in February, when Boko Haram abducted 110 schoolgirls in Dapchi, in the northeast. The president had insisted for nearly two years that the group had been defeated, and the abductions led to new questions about the government’s security strategy and its response to the kidnappings. In March, 104 of the girls were returned to the town after successful negotiations between Boko Haram and the government. The militants drove the girls back into the town, preaching to locals against enrolling their children to school in an unprecedented propaganda effort. Under Mr. Buhari, the government has also negotiated the release of more than 100 of the girls Boko Haram captured in Chibok in 2014, before he took office. As a general, Mr. Buhari headed the Nigerian government from 1983 to 1985, following a military coup. Years later, he ran for president several times before being elected. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/09/world/africa/nigeria-president-election.html?smid=tw-nytimesworld&smtyp=cur

Ekiti State Governor, Chief Ayodele Fayose, has said Nigeria does not need President Muhammadu Buhari as her leader in 2019, noting that Monday’s declaration of reelection bid by the President is an ambition that is dead on arrival. Fayose The governor also noted that if Buhari is reelected, he would kill the country. Fayose, who spoke to newsmen in Ado-Ekiti on Monday on the President’s intention, through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, said if Buhari was unable to read the handwriting on the wall and know when to call it quit, Nigerians would show him the exit door in 2019 by voting him out of office. Fayose opined that Buhari was not only too old to lead the country well, he had bungled the opportunity given him by his woeful performance. “That ambition is dead on arrival. We don’t want grandpa as president anymore. Nigeria does not deserve a Buhari as president in 2019. Buhari is old and tired. When people don’t know when to take their leave and say bye, Nigerians will show them the exit door. ” He has done more harm to this country. His ambition is a means by which Nigerians will tell him good riddance to bad rubbish when they boot him out of office. He is an easy candidate to defeat in the poll for he has failed woefully. “He has failed in all fronts. He has failed in his so-called fight against corruption, he has failed in the economic front. He has not done well in term of security. People are being killed in large number daily and Nigerians have no confidence in him. ” His declaration today is a slap on Nigerians in the face of what Nigerians are passing through. His government is not only clueless, but in a shambles. He should go home and rest, ” he said. https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/04/nigeria-not-need-buhari-2019-will-kill-nigeria-says-fayose/amp/

Leaders of Nigeria’s ruling party and those of the opposition parties reacted differently to President Muhammadu Buhari’s announcement on re-election on Monday. Mr Buhari told a meeting of the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the APC that in response “to the clamour by Nigerians to re-contest in 2019,” he has decided to accept the offer. He said at the closed door meeting that he wanted to give NEC the honour of notifying them first. Membership of the NEC comprises the president, his vice, leadership of the National Assembly, elected governors as well as chairpersons of the party across the states among others. For many APC governors, the president’s declaration was great news. The first governor to react to the declaration was Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai. Mr El-Rufai who often refers to himself as a “Buharist”, took to his verified Twitter page to post a “Breaking News” announcing the president’s decision immediately. “BREAKING NEWS: PMB has just announced to APC NEC his intention to run for a second term of office. Alhamdulillah. – Nasir El-Rufai,” the governor wrote. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/264476-2019-how-apc-governors-pdp-leaders-others-reacted-to-buharis-declaration.html

Senate President Bukola Saraki weighed in on the raging controversy over approval given by President Muhammadu Buhari to withdraw $1 billion from the Excess Crude Account for the purchase of weapons to fight Boko Haram insurgency and other security challenges facing the country on Saturday. Speaking at a retreat on “Strengthening Executive -Legislature Relations” organized by the Senate Press Corps held in Jos, Plateau state, the Senate President said the controversies could have been averted if the executive had collaborated better with the legislature on the issue. He noted that some senators are already angry over the manner the approval was announced without taking them into confidence. Bukola Saraki “Just a few days ago, there was the issue of providing funding for the purchase of security equipment. In a good environment, such an issue needed to have been discussed with lawmakers. “Already, some senators are angry. They said they were not consulted by the executive before such a decision was taken. These are the issues we are talking about,” the Senate President said. He added that the Executive and the legislature are partners and need each other since the constitution does not allow one arm to work alone. He added that some heads of security agencies in Nigeria are contributing to the frosty relationship between the executive and the legislature. “There is no the security architecture of this country that can work without a strong synergy between the executive and the legislature. “When you see certain agencies, who by their actions and utterances frustrate the relationship between the two arms, you begin to wonder. “What do we need to do? Do the police need more funding or more powers? Do they need new legislation to strengthen them? These are the issues where the executive and the legislature must work together. “I needed to be here to speak on these issues. It is not just about today. Posterity will be here to judge us that what I am saying is true. If we do not change the way we behave, we will remain like this for many years to come,” he said. He added that collaboration and engagement between the Executive and the Legislature also needed to achieve the goal of quick passage of the annual budget http://saharareporters.com/2018/04/07/saraki-senators-angry-over-buharis-approval-1bn-security-equipment

Breaking: Secondus sues Lai Mohammed to court for defamation The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Prince Uche Secondus, has dragged the Minister of Information and Culture to court for alleging that he was involved in corruption to the tune of N200 million. The action of the top politician was in fulfillment of his threat to sue Lai Mohammed if he did not withdraw the statement within 48 hours. Lai Mohammed had included Secondus’ name on the list of PDP members who looted the national treasury when the party was in government. Secondus had however denied the claim and warned that he would drag him to court if he did not withdraw the statement. In a statement and documents made available to The Next Edition by his media aide, Ike Abonyi, Secondus said having failed to retract the claim of corruption against him, he had filed a suit against Lai Mohammed. The suit was filed at a High Court in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Among other things, Secondus wants the court to award him the sum of N1.5 billion being damages for humiliation, castigation, vilification attack on his person and integrity as a result of the publication. In the suit with no/PHC/1013/2018, Secondus is also claiming that Lai Mohammad’s publication is defamatory and is asking the court to direct him to retract the said publication and apologise in writing. He demands that he should also be made to publish the retraction and apology in all the social media including major newspapers where the defamatory story was published. Uche Secondus is also asking the court for a perpetual injunction restraining the defendant from further publishing defamatory materials against him. Joined in the suit are the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Attorney General of the Federation and the Vintage Press Limited, publishers of The Nation newspapers. Below are the documents.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Thursday alleged that cabals in the presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have turned the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) into their “Automated Teller Machine (ATM) where funds are taken at their conveniences.” PDP made the disclosure while alleging of fresh plot by the APC-led Federal Government to loot another N25 billion from the coffers of the Scheme. A statement by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan said the APC and the Presidency had been “bleeding the nation”, adding that “the very idea of stealing funds meant to provide health lifeline to the already impoverished Nigerians is agonizing and shows that the ruling party has lost all scruples.” The former ruling party said Nigerians were still lamenting the “N10 billion stolen earlier from the agency’s savings in the Treasury Single Account (TSA) by presidency cabal”. The statement reads, “Our nation is now faced with daily pillaging of our national patrimony by APC interests and a notorious cabal, who, operating under the cover and protection of the Buhari Presidency, have turned our revenue agencies, particularly the NHIS into cashcows to painfully milk funds for APC’s ill-fated 2019 re-election bid. “When we say that this Buhari administration is debauched, many do not realize to what extent. This administration is so brazen in stealing in the NHIS that the Presidency has to recall and reinstate the indicted Executive Secretary of the Scheme, Prof. Usman Yakubu, while he was still being quizzed by the EFCC for alleged corruption. “Betraying its complicity in the NHIS racket, the Presidency has refused to speak out on allegations that it reinstated the suspended Executive Secretary to conceal the earlier looting and protect members of the cabal and has also refused to order any form of investigation in the exposed frauds. “The magnitude of direct looting that is going on in revenue agencies, such as the NNPC, Nigerian Ports Authority, Customs, Federal Inland Revenue Services, MDAs and even the TSA already infiltrated by Presidency cabal and APC interests, who hide under spurious investment portfolios, inflated concessions, allocations, jobs and other financial sleazes to siphon public funds are better imagined. “In the last three years, the nation has witnessed unparalled impunity to the extent that the President could even unilaterally make approval of releases of public funds without recourse to the legislative instrument of the appropriation. “We also want to remind Nigerians that this administration has refused to take any step to investigate the alleged stealing of N9 trillion ($25billion dollars) in NNPC through corrupt contracts, the alleged diverting of N1.1trillion worth of crude to service APC interests, the alleged stealing of N18 billion Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) funds among other grafts. “This Buhari-led APC administration is fast looting our nation into an economic desert and we urge Nigerians not to spare any thought in voting them out come 2019.” http://dailypost.ng/2018/04/05/notorious-cabals-presidency-turned-nhis-atm-pdp/

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded that the presidency immediately make public all issues relating to the private visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to the United Kingdom. The party, which queried the presidency for always shrouding issues around the president in secrecy, pointedly demanded a full disclosure on the scope, purpose, direct destination, duration as well as the cost and source of the funding for this undisclosed tourism. The PDP, in a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, yesterday said President Buhari is not a private citizen and cannot embark on private trips and wrapped in secrecy, since his upkeep draws directly from national resources and taxpayers’ money. According to him, “While the PDP has nothing against the president embarking on any trip, we insist that as the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, there must be full disclosures to Nigerians because the citizens deserve to know the purpose of the visit and the cost on the country. “We know that the president is billed to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) scheduled to take place between April 16 and 20, but Nigerians are wondering why he is taking off to an undisclosed destination in London two weeks ahead. “We ask: ‘Is President Buhari and his handlers hiding anything from Nigerians so much that they cannot disclose the reason and duration of the so-called private visit?’ “Nigerians are invited to note that this secret visit has a departure date but silent on the purpose, date and place of arrival. “Today, our economy is hemorrhaging and the citizens are languishing because of the continued lack of accountability and total incompetence of the Buhari-led administration. “The PDP insists that public officers at all levels, particularly the occupier of the office of the president, must be accountable, transparent and answerable in all their dealings at all times, especially under an administration that claims zero tolerance for corruption.” Also yesterday, the opposition party in a statement, said the APC was passing through death throes and pre-election trauma as its leaders are now in a frenzy over the baggage of an extremely unpopular presidential candidate, ahead of the 2019 general election. It added that the confusion, backstabbing and vicious scheming in the APC was a tragic testimony of a party that has become politically decapitated by the evident dishonesty, greed, selfishness and lust for power by its incompetent leaders. The PDP noted that it was now clear that the ruling party is an ideologically empty movement and a special purpose vehicle put together by egoistic strange bedfellows just for the purpose of winning political power and not for the good of Nigerians. “The APC is stewing in its own venomous broth. The nation can now see why, even with a sitting President, the party is still finding it difficult to agree on simple issues, but always attempt to circumvent and violate the laws to push desperate agenda of their selfish leaders. “We call on Nigerians not to be deceived by the sudden law-abiding stance of the APC, as it is merely cosmetic and meant to cloak their hidden but soon to be manifested plots to manipulate the laws to push a self-succession plan of their incompetent candidate. “It is evident that APC has never had anything to offer Nigerians other than confusion, disagreements, economic recession, bad national image and painful bloodletting. “Nigerians must therefore remain alert and very wary of all activities of power mongers in the APC, who are so mortally afraid of elections that they are ready to destroy our democratic institution to achieve their selfish agenda of perpetuating themselves in power to the peril of our dear nation. “On our own part, the repositioned PDP remains open with a level playing ground for all Nigerians to aspire for any position, without hindrances or manipulations, while ensuring strict observance to internal democracy at all level of our process.” https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2018/04/05/pdp-demands-full-disclosure-on-buharis-trip-to-london/
