RE: NOMINATION OF MR IBRAHIM MAGU MUSTAPHA AS EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN OF ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION (EFCC) SECURITY REPORT OF THE NOMINEE

Your letter NASS/CS /SA/01/17/ 08 /02 dated 7th March 2017 requesting for security report on the above named nominee refers


The security report being requested for on Ibrahim Magu MUSTAPHA the nominee or the Executive Chairmanship position of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has already been submitted to the Senate via this Services’ letter No. SV.114/ 2 of 3rd October 2016
containing fourteen (14) paragraphs.

Please accept once again the assurances of the esteemed regards of the DGSS.

F. O. ADAMS
For: DIRECTOR-GENERAL, SS

August 2008, following a search at his residence during the tenure of Farida WAZIRI (AIG/Rtd) as the commission’s chairman, some sensitive EFCC documents which were not supposed to be at his disposal were discovered. He was subsequently redeployed to the police after days of detention and later suspended from the Force. In December 2010, the Police Service Commission found Magu guilty of “Action prejudicial to state security, withholding of EFCC files, sabotage, unauthorised removal of EFCC files and acts unbecoming of a Police officer,” and awarded him severe reprimand as punishment.

“4. Notwithstanding, sequel to the appointment of Ibrahim Lamorde as Chairman of the EFCC in 2011, he made the return of Magu to the EFCC a top priority. Both men had worked together at the commission when Lamorde served as Head of Operations of the agency. Magu remained a top official of the commission until he was appointed to succeed Lamorde.

“5. Magu is currently occupying a residence rented for N40m, at N20m per annum. This accommodation was not paid for from the commission’s finances but by one Umar Mohammed (Air Commodore/Rtd), a questionable businessman and ally of subject who has subsequently been arrested by this service. For the furnishing of the residence, Mohammed enlisted the Federal Capital Development Authority to award a contract to Africa Energy, a company owned by the same Mohammed to lavishly furnish the residence at the cost of N43m.

“6. Investigations show that the Acting EFCC Chairman regularly embarks on official and private trips through a private carrier, Easyjet, owned by Mohammed. In one of such trips, Magu flew to Maiduguri, alongside Mohammed and the MD of Fidelity Bank, Nnamdi Okonkwo, who was being investigated by the commission over complicity in funds allegedly stolen by the immediate past Petroleum Minister, DiezaniAlison-Madueke.

“7. Furthermore, the EFCC boss has so far maintained a high profile lifestyle. This is exemplified by his preference for First Class air travels. On 24th June, 2016, he flew Emirate Airlines’ First Class to Saudi Arabia to perform the Lesser Hajj at the cost of N2,990,196. This is in spite of Mr. President’s directive to all public servants to fly Economy Class.

“8. Investigation also revealed that Magu parades a twin personality. At one level, he is the czar who has no friends, no favourites and is ready to fight corruption to a standstill. However, with a key friend in the person of Umar Mohammed (Air Commodore/Rtd), a controversial businessman, he has betrayed the confidence reposed in him by the present administration. Whereas Magu portrays himself as very secretive, he has fostered a mutually beneficial relationship with Mohammed who, by his confession, approaches ‘clients’ for possible exploitation, favours and associated returns. This was facilitated with official secrets divulged by Magu and from which dealings he is believed to have been drawing considerable benefits.

“9. This was evidenced by the number of official and classified documents he made available to his associates, especially Mohammed. After a search of Mohammed’s premises, a forged letter of the Office of the Vice President, dated 20th May, 2016, was recovered. The letter was a fictitious investigation report from Vice President to Mr. President, requesting for approval to commence further probe into a matter allegedly involving Hon. Minister of State Petroleum. Attached to the letter were two EFCC letters dated 13th April, 2016, and another 24th March, 2016, addressed to the Vice President being investigation reports on the activities of Emmanuel Kachikwu and his brother Dumebi Kachikwu. Similarly recovered during the search were information on assets and personal details of Kachikwu.

10. Also, following the arrest of three former Airforce chiefs by EFCC, namely, Alex Badeh, Umar and Amosu from whom huge sums of money and property were recovered, Umar and Alex Badeh were arraigned in court. It was only after the arrest of Mohammed by this service that the EFCC hurriedly arraigned Amosu. Mohammed later confessed that he never wanted Amosu tried, describing him as his former boss and he saw in MAGU, a willing accomplice.

“11. Furthermore, findings revealed that in a bid to settle some personal scores, subject placed one Stanley Inye Lawson on a Security Watch Action, while in actual fact Lawson was working in the interest of the Federal Government.

However, the action was later expunged following the discovery that Lawson was falsely accused by Magu for personal reasons.

“12. The circumstances surrounding Magu’s return to EFCC at the instance of the former chairman, Lamorde, and their close working relationship ever since is a clear indication of his culpability in the allegations of corrupt tendencies of the Lamorde led EFCC.

“13. To cover his tracks, Magu uses only his police cronies to execute operations. This, coupled with discoveries that such police cronies have acquired a lot of landed property, lends credence to the questions about his integrity.

“14. In the light of the foregoing, Magu has failed the integrity test and will eventually constitute a liability to the anti-corruption drive of the present administration.”

Cut off insisting. The Acting President has Power and Rights to GRANT UP-FRONT AMNESTY even to the worst criminal.
Beside that, Magu has somehow proved to have the best credentials and foresight for this job.

It seems Dino needs SAN's to break down the court judgement properly for him before he starts a premature celebration.

Lalasticlala, mynd44, let's have a balanced view of things.
Did you read the write up on vanguard.

Just click it and see your self

Well here it is.

The recall process of Senator Senator Dino Melaye representing Kogi West has been suspended by Justice John Tsoho of the Abuja Federal High Court Thursday.

Justice John Tsoho directed all the parties to maintain their status quo until September 29 when the court will hear the suit challenging bid by Melaye’s constituents to recall him from the Senate. Justice John Tsoho in an ex-parte ruling rejected the embattled Senator’s motion for a temporary injunction restraining INEC from proceeding with the recall process until the determination of suit challenging his recall.

Justice Tsoho however ruled that the parties “maintain status quo pending the hearing of the motion on notice” and adjourned the case till September 29 for hearing of the motion on notice as well as for the applications filed by three individuals, led by Chief Cornelius Olowo, who equally applied to be made parties in the suit. Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN) argued Melaye’s ex-parte motion.

Sen. Dino Melaye Recall that Melaye, determined to save his seat, had dragged the Independent National Electoral Commission before the Abuja Division of the Federal High Court, seeking an order stopping the ongoing process by his constituents to recall him. In the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/587/2017, with INEC as the only defendant, Melaye faulted the recall process, saying it was tainted with political malice and initiated by his political enemies

. In the originating Summons he filed through his lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome, SAN, the embattled lawmaker prayed the court to declare that the petition presented to INEC for his recall was illegal, unlawful, wrongful, unconstitutional, invalid, null and void and of no effect in law.

He also prayed the court for a declaration that the petition purportedly forwarded to the INEC was invalid and of no effect, the same being signed by fictitious, dead and none existing persons in his senatorial district, as well as for an order of injunction restraining INEC from commencing or further continuing or completing the process of his recall. Recall also that Senator Dino Melaye had run to his colleagues at the Senate to present his ordeals from which the Senate told INEC that it is wasting its time trying to recall Senator Melaye.

Describing the recall moves of Melaye as an exercise in futility that would become a waste of time and resources of the state, the Senate said INEC is aware of relevant sections of the constitution which the cumbersome process of recall must follow.

It had also noted that the various stages passed so far in the move, as facilitated by the electoral umpire, were not in line with laid down constitutional procedures and guidelines.

Resolutions of the Senate were sequel to a point of order raised against the recall move by Senator Dino Melaye himself. Recall also that some electorates in Kogi state had gathered 188,588 signatures out of the 360,098 registered voters in Kogi West representing 52% percent and taken same in ‘Ghana-must-go’bags to INEC, demanding that the electoral body continue with the processes towards recalling the senator.

INEC too had confirmed receiving the signatories and billed a date to commence with the process. Senator Melaye had, however, said he discovered many signatures of dead men, including those of late prominent politicians in the state, maintaining that the signatures were forged or were inputed without the consent and knowledge of the owners.

Christianity Etc › Christianise Nigeria Rather Than Crying About Islamisation, Onaiyekan Tells XTIA by engineerboat(op): 7:47am On Jul 03, 2017
John Onaiyekan, the catholic archbishop of Abuja, has urged Christians to “Christianise Nigeria” and stop complaining about the alleged plot to Islamise the country.

Onaiyekan made the call in his homily at a mass to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation at Our Lady of Perpertual Help Parish, Gwarinpa II on Sunday in Abuja.

The cleric said that he’s unsure that there’s actually a plan to Islamise Nigeria.

“So let nobody deceive you, I don’t think there is anybody who has plan to Islamise Nigeria, but even if they do, they have every right to do so,” he said.

“They have every right to do so provided they also know that I have the right to Christianise the whole of Nigeria. The answer is not in complaining and crying; stand up like a man and Christianise Nigeria.”

He said that Christians had the mandate to preach Jesus Christ to everyone without being distracted with material things.

Onaiyekan urged Christians to defend their faith by preaching the gospel in words and deeds without comprising the message of the cross.

He said that the disciples of Christ preached the crucified Christ, accepted persecution and that many even died for their faith.

“People complain that Christianity is being persecuted; they are saying that some people want to Islamise the nation. Just know that nobody can’t Islamise you unless you agree to be Islamised.

“For as long as you are not ready to stand up and carry the Cross, you are on the verge of losing your faith; if you don’t want to lose your promotion for Christ sake, you are also not worthy to be a Christian.

“Anybody who presents another programme different from the programme of Jesus Christ on the Cross will lose, you will drop; you will just drop like an overripe apple.”

According to him, Christians cannot achieve the feat by compromising their faith, it can only be achieved by carrying their cross and following Christ.

“You don’t Christianise the nation by standing up and looking for prosperity or material benefits. You Christianise a nation, if you are ready to stand up for the truth, preach the gospel, carry the Cross and follow the Lord Jesus,” he said.

Politics › Re: How We Will Displace APC In 2019 - APDA Chair by engineerboat(op): 3:58pm On Jul 02, 2017
Myd44 and his APC bmc crew una well done.


Na there u go dey when this party you called docile (but giving your APC snail-walking party headache) will displace you very soon
Politics › How We Will Displace APC In 2019 - APDA Chair by engineerboat(op):
Amidst speculation that the newly registered Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance (APDA) is just PDP in disguise, Alhaji Mohammed Shittu, who is the Interim National Chairman of the party debunked the claim in this interview.

He also denied that former military president Ibrahim Babangida and ex-Vice President Atiku Abubakar are among the financiers of the part, but admitted that their target is to dislodge the ruling APC in 2019, without altering the political equation of power rotation.


The APDA is a party that was born by like-minds who sat and looked at the political system of Nigeria and said that we can’t continue operating a nascent democracy. 17 years down the line, we can’t be nascent again. We believe we should advance the cause of democracy; we should be able to bring in some technological innovations in order to curb abnormalities in our electoral system.

What makes APDA different from other political parties in Nigeria; what is the ideological framework?

The welfare of citizens is paramount in our minds, technological advancement is also paramount; we are also looking at it that this party must be taken to the people; it will be a people-funding party. We believe that with this party, we are equal; we don’t have god-fatherism in this party as other parties do. We believe that in this party, nobody will claim supremacy. It is a party for the masses. It is a party that wants to break the yoke of city-based politicians.

That is what other parties also say but after gaining power, they compromise. How are you sure APDA will not compromise?

We have introduced electronic voting for our primaries; we have also introduced e-payment. Whatever fund you are channeling to the party is by e-payment. All what we are doing is embedded in our constitution and you can be sued if you violate such. We have bio-metric registration of members, you can’t register two times. It is done in such a way that even if you are coming out for presidential election, you must start from your ward. You must go to your ward to be elected, you come back to your local government then you go to the state congress and so on.

Which zone is the party’s presidential candidate likely to come from?

There is no doubt that we are bringing our presidential candidate from the north.

Why the north?

We feel that it is a national phenomenon, so you can’t disagree with it. The presidential ticket of the party will rotate among the six geo-political zones. So we are picking our presidential candidate from the north in 2019 and we are very sure that we will win.

Why do you think APDA will win the presidential race?

We are confident because we have put in place a mechanism that other political parties don’t have. We have our structures in every part of this country.

There is a rumour that former Head of State, Ibrahim Babangida, former vice president, Atiku Abubakar and former PDP national chairman, Alhaji Bamanga Tukur, are behind APDA. How true is this?

No, it is not true because I know that Bamanga Tukur has retired from active politics. He doesn’t even talk about political issues anymore. I have never met Atiku in my life. When you talk of IBB, he is a mentor, he has mentored so many Nigerians but he has also retired from partisan politics. So it is not true.

What is your membership like so far?

For now, we have about 15 million members and we are still counting as I am talking to you.

How will your party slug it out with the ruling party, the APC in 2019?

You see, they say that the stores are not the market but the people are the market. You can build a beautiful store but if the people are not there, there is no market. So we are taking this party to the grassroots and we believe that people will be with us because we are executing programmes that will help the masses.

Some big parties have elected officers who help in funding them and wielding influence in ensuring their parties win but in the case of the APDA, it does not have any of such…

Our strength is that people over time collected money and voted wrongly and I believe we Nigerians have learnt our lessons because we can see what has happened to the country; we are down. If you had collected N1, 000 to vote for anybody, you are paying N1 million now to better your life. So Nigerians are going to choose between those who give money and those who mean well.

There are reports that your party is facing internal problems. Specifically, you have been accused of trying to hijack the party. What is really happening?

The APDA is not in crisis. You know to strengthen the party, there must be different views but we have already sworn that there will be no god-fatherism, no supremacy of any individual in this party and we must uphold that for Nigerians. So I don’t believe in hijacking the party. But I believe that we have different views with some individuals and I have expressed my view and I stand by it.

Was there an attempt by any individual to introduce god-fatherism to the party?

You may see it in a different way. That is why you may think that we have crisis, but there is nothing like that.

Do you think the Republic of Biafra is realizable?

I will advise anyone that is thinking of Biafranism to know that the attempt was made in the past and it failed. If you are in Nigeria and you are saying you want to go out of Nigeria, by the time you move out of Nigeria as a small enclave, you will see another enclave within an enclave that will also start barking. So I would like us to take Southern Sudan today as an example. So I want our brothers not to take that path. I want us to see how we can put in place a mechanism that will make Nigeria great again. Each state is endowed; why can’t we look at the comparative advantage from each state, improve on it and make them better in terms of providing employment for youths rather than talking of war?

What do you make of the quit notice issued by the northern youths to the Igbos?

It is better to jaw-jaw than to war-war. We need this country together that is why the slogan of the APDA is ‘stronger together.’ It is together that we can be strong. As soon as we start breaking, we are off like other countries that are not there; we have nothing to gain. So instead of using the money to buy guns to kill our people, why can’t we unite and use that money to develop our economy?

Are you comfortable with the federal government’s approach to this issue?

The federal government must be able to bring every part together and adopt a position that will better the lots of Nigerians.

Do you mean the federal government should organize another national conference?

I think we need another national conference. We need to look at our economy; we need to look at our allocation formula; we need to look at some aspects of our sharing formula. The 2014 national conference cannot address the issues because the crisis has gone beyond 2014. People are talking today of fiscal federalism, people are saying look let us go away from Nigeria. I think the federal government should sit down now and plan for another national conference; we need that conference now than ever.

Lalasticlala EFCC media trial without calling witnesses continue
Politics › Court Flays EFCC For Delay In Abba Moro’s Prosecution by engineerboat(op): 7:56am On Jun 29, 2017
An Abuja Federal High Court yesterday cautioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over its delay in the trial of former Minister of Interior, Abba Moro and two others.


Moro was standing trial along with former Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Interior, Anesthesia Nwobia, a Deputy Director in the Ministry, F.O. Alayabami and Drexel Nigeria Limited over alleged N676 million Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) recruitment scam.

Justice Nnamdi Dimgba had decried the EFCC for failing to produce a witness in court for continuation of the trial.The judge also vowed to take necessary action should the prosecution fail to produce witness on October 4, being the next adjourned date.


When ‎the case was called for hearing yesterday, the prosecution counsel, Elizabeth Alabi, told the court that her witness was not in court due to inability to communicate with him.She added that the prosecution was unable to hold a pre-trial session due to the two-day Eid-el-Fitr holiday.

“The witness is a banker and resides in Lagos. In the circumstances, we shall be asking for an adjournment to enable us bring the witness to court,” she said. Justice Dimgba, worried by the sloppy prosecution of the case, warned the prosecution against unnecessary waste of time.

“This is your case and you have to arrange it in such a way as to avoid this kind of nonsense. Your reasons sound a little sloppy with respect. “If I strike out this case for want of diligent prosecution, a lot of noise would be made by people who were not in court. “We have to stop this nonsense and let it not repeat itself. You have to be ready for trial at the next adjourned date or else, I will take the necessary action,” he warned.
‎
However, Moro’s counsel, A.T. Kehinde (SAN), objected to the application for adjournment for lack of genuine reason.He demanded that the prosecution counsel be made to write an undertaking ‎promising to produce the witness on the next adjourned date.Chief Chris Uche (SAN), who appeared for the second defendant-Nwobia, stated that the court has spoken his mind on the issue.

He reminded the court that the matter was also adjourned on May 19 at the instance of the prosecution.Meanwhile, Sunday Ameh (SAN), who represented ‎Drexel Nigerian Limited, asked the court to issue a warrant of arrest on prosecution witness for disobeying a subpoena issued by the court.In his ruling, Justice Dimgba pleaded with the defence lawyers to be patient till October 4, 2017

Education › Anchor Varsity Makes Case For ICT, Internationalisation Of Research by engineerboat(op): 8:58am On Jun 27, 2017
We ’ll be among top five in 10 years, says VC

Anchor University, one of the private sector-promoted universities recently approved by the Federal Executive Council (FEC), is pushing for internationalisation of research and ICT-based learning.

Its Vice Chancellor, Prof. Joseph Afolayan, says the new ‘philosophy’ will add value to higher education and put the university on the positive map for higher education on the continent.

In an exclusive interview with The Guardian at the weekend, Afolayan, a professor of civil engineering and former dean of the faculty at the Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), Zaria and later vice chancellor of Landmark University, disclosed that the institution would leverage global resources and goodwill to make clear difference in character and learning as it looks to rank among top five universities in the country in the next 10 years.


He said: “The school was recently granted provisional licence by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and it is already partnering world-class universities through linkages and exchange programmes to rightly position the institution on the path of greatness,
“By the grace of God, within the next 10 years, when universities are being counted in Nigeria, Anchor would be among the top five. It is a matter of principle, knowing where you are going. To be among the first five institutions in Nigeria is our goal and we would work towards it. We are ready to take up the challenge. We stand on the foundation of faith and we believe within the next 10 years of the existence of Anchor, it would be among the top five in the country.”

While stressing the importance of information technology in developing institutions, the vice chancellor said the faith-based university would interact with other notable schools “by bringing some of our colleagues who have the experience from outside the country to lecture without necessarily coming down to the university.”

“We can do it through Skype and some other means; these are the things we have in mind. Our members of staff and students would be aggressively involved in research activities because it is through this that universities project what they can do or sell to the community within their environment and the larger society.

“We have ICT units in the university but because of our focus and what we have in mind, we would collaborate with other institutions to put the university in global perspective,” he stressed.

So the major step remaining is step 8 which is just like an election; but in this case, it will be a vote to recall and majority will win. I think the hard part has been achieved. The next step should be easier.

It will be interesting to see how Dino scales thru this one. Will he:

A. Go to court to stop the process or wait to see the end?
B. Lobby to have more voters on the day of actual referendum (this is the riskiest step)

His only move will be to go to court and try to frustrate the process. From the lower courts to appeal and to supreme while a court injuction is given to hurt the process until the final judgement.

It just 22 months till the end of his tenure, I guess he would go to court.

But then, this is interesting for our democracy.

***edited:
For those quoting me about verification You guys don't seem to get it. Verification is not a biometric exercise. It's just to cross check the names on the signed papers and confirm that those names were actually registered voters in the local govt. This won't take long. The list itself could be obtained from the local councils or state Electoral offices. What is left is for the owners of the named to come and sign against their names. INEC is not going to cross check signatures to see if they were forged or not. So my dear, verification is a done deal.
Stage 5 and 6 very important.

Signature verification very essential.

So it cannot be a pushed over

Politics › Fayose Celebrate 3rd Year Of The 16:0 Defeat Of Fayemi In Ekiti by engineerboat(op): 10:55pm On Jun 21, 2017
A pro-Fayose rally to signal the continuty agenda of Governor Ayodele Fayose in 2018 Thursday shut down Ado-Ekiti, capital city of Ekiti State. Women and men from all walks of life, artisans, civil servants, Okada riders, drivers, mechanics, market women, students, youths, old and young and even the crippled and others with several disabilities joined the governor to march through the capital city.


They were clad in several campaign attires with had several inscriptions such as ‘Fayose leads, we follow, ‘, support continuity, 2018, Fayose witness and The mammoth crowd who displayed their voters’ cards, sang songs and danced profusely in the hot sun t in support of a man they believe in.

The huge turn-out was as a result of an earlier successful grassroot mobilisation of the people ahead of the 2018 gubernatorial poll several months ago.

The grassroot mobilisation, tagged Oshoko (Mass Movement, OMM) had began a mass recruitment of 10,000 Ekiti people from each of the the 15 Local Government Areas of the state. A standby music band which was part of the rally provided sweet songs in appreciation to the public as the crowd marched through the city. Fayose started the rally from his campaign office named Oshoko political institute inside the government house.

He addressed the crowd after launching the office. “We are holding this rally to show the opposition that the people of Ekiti are on our side. The era of rigging and money bag politics is gone. We have defeated them in June 2014 but they said it was the military that won the election The seat of power in Aso-Rock, will change from APC to PDP in 2019. Today we are celebrating the victory of light over darkness in June 21, 2014. On that day, the power of the people prevails over those of them in power. You spoke in one voice and had me elected to turn around your fortunes.

Today, you are living witnesses to the difference in our government. ” Taking a critical swipe at the APC led President Muhammadu Buhari’s government, Fayose described the FG as anti-Ekiti, accusing it of budgeting no project for the state in the 2017 appropriation law. He said, the people of the state will revolt against the APC during the 2018 governorship poll slated for 2018 because of his poor performance in government and its insensitivity to the plights of Ekiti populace. He also accused the FG of sweeping under the carpet, the panel set up to try many of the APC’s cronies.

He was referring to the one constituted to probe the suspended Secretary to the Federal Government, Mr Babachir David Lawal over allegation of multi-million contract relating to the welfare of the Internally Displaced People of the Northeast. ‘Today, I am here to appreciate all of you and remind you that they said that the 16-0 of 2014 of was photochromic and later militarized election. This time, they are the owners of INEC, Army, Police, Civil Defense, DSS and others; we should make it expressly clear that despite these machineries in their hands, we can defeat them like we did in 2014, if not more,” he said. He assured that he will leave no stone unturned to make Ekiti a better place for all, adding that;

“Also, by the grace of God, I will not leave this state a debtor of salary.” The governor urged Nigerians as well as the international community to pay greater attention to Ekiti State in regard to activities before, during and after the 2018 governorship election, saying; “The 2018 election in Ekiti is one election that everyone should be interested in. The whole world should monitor events before, during and after the election and let whoever that will win the election win in a free and fair atmosphere.”

He said; “Currently, I am in court to seek redress for the coup-de-tat of 2006 by the declaration of State of Emergency by the civilian junta of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo. It is my belief that the court that granted me the relief that the impeachment was a nullity will equally restore justice by establishing the fact that I deserve another tenure. “Nevertheless, whether the continuity is by Ayo Fayose or any member of his political family, it is still continuity, which I have asked you to support.”

Berating the APC, Governor Fayose said; “Those who trade in lies and propaganda daily are in control of the federal government and as at today, is there anything that they have done for us here in Ekiti? The answer is No! “We have a representative in the federal executive council and we have someone who is working with the Acting President. But they are self-seekers who do not believe in the Ekiti project.

They were the people, who during their four years reign here plunged our state into debt and destroyed the economy of the State. They made our State to be indebted till year 2036 by their maladministration. “Two Years in office, they can not point to a single benefit derived from their government by Ekiti State. “We are therefore saying never again to these looters, financial devourers and enemies of our State who only believe in themselves and not in the progress of our State.” He said Nigerians should note that since he took over the mantle of leadership of Ekiti state, no politically motivated attack or violence had been witnessed and no life had been lost to political violence in Ekiti state.

“I wish to state that as we approach the 2018 election, this continuity that seek will not be at the expense of the blood of any Ekiti person,” he said. “If I have my way, I will call for an election today for Nigerians and the international community to see that anytime, any day, APC will be roundly defeated here,” he said further. Going down memory lane, the governor said; “Today marks the third year anniversary as my election. You will recall that I was recalled by what can be likened to a civilian coup-de-tat on October 16, 2006. But on this day, June 21, 2014, you overwhelmingly re-elected me as your governor.

“Despite the fact the incumbent governor then, Dr Kayode Fayemi accepted defeat and congratulated me for winning the election, he later reneged, having been prevailed upon and deceived by a few who obviously could not comprehend their loss of power in the State.

“However, the sacred mandate of the people of Ekiti could not be snatched in spite of the strategy of the wicked who attempted what has never been done in the political history of Nigeria by trying to prevent me from being sworn-in. “To the glory of God, I was sworn-in and again, in their dubious manner, they attempted to take the mandate through the backdoor by plotting my impeachment even when I had not spent one month in office.

I thank Ekiti people for resisting another civilian coup in the State even at the risk of their lives. “Today, despite the way and manner they wrecked the economy of the State; we have been able to chart a new path for the development of our state. This can be seen in the physical developments witnessed in the State since we assumed office.

“Ekiti people can all see
1. The flyover bridge ongoing in Ado-Ekiti,
2. Tthe dualised Awedele-Basiri road,
3. Onala-Opopogbooro-Afao road,
4. The Ndualised roads in most of the Local Government areas,
5. The ongoing Oja Oba Market in Ado Ekiti,
6. The ongoing Adebayo-Ori Apata-Nova road,
7. The Ado-Ikere road, most federal roads that have been rehabilitated especially the Ita Awure-Erio-Aramoko-Igede-Iyin-Ado road
8. The transformation of the Ewi’s palace among others.
9. Today, Ekiti State has regained its lost glory in Education by coming first in the NECO.

“We want to assure you that we will leave no stone unturned to make Ekiti a better place for all. Also, by the grace of God, I will not leave this state a debtor of salary.

“They thought by now that this government would have failed. But by your support, we have gotten this far, by His grace. “I want to appeal to all of you to take a cue from what is happening in a number state where they have made succession possible, which has translated to meaningful developments.

“If you recalled, I told you that I will come back despite the circumstances of my removal then. With your support, I returned to office, making me the first Ekiti person to win election as governor and defeat incumbents twice. “Like I said to you, if we all stay together, in another four years after my tenure; we will make Ekiti better than it is now.”

He called for restructuring of Nigeria, saying; “No peace without justice and the agitation across the country will continue unless there is justice, equity and fairness.”

2019: APC have betrayed Nigerians trust, they should prepare to handover to us- APDA


More than a year into the 2019 general election, newly registered party, Advanced Peoples Democratic Party (APDA) has signed a note of caution to ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to prepare relinquish to power to it.

This signal was given by the youths of the opposition party under the aegis of the Advanced Peoples Democratic Alliance Youth Frontier (APDAYF), who contended that APC have betrayed the trust of Nigerians.

According to the youths in a statement jointly signed by the National Coordinator of the youth group, Comrade Inioribo Tamunotonye and the National Publicity Secretary, Comrade Sam-Najoma Awudu, they boasted that with the wide acceptance of APDA, the ruling party should not bother waste scarce resources to field any candidate during the 2019 General election.

“APDA was unveiled on June 5, on June 7, we received formal recognition from the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and we got our certificate on June 16,” the statement reads.

“But if you enter the remotest part of Nigeria, you will hear and see people talking about the party, you will see people freely aligning with APDA as if we have been in existence since the beginning of this present democratic dispensation in 1999”.

The youths, who said no political party in the history of Nigeria has enjoyed the wide support it had garnered since it was unveiled, asserted that the party’s acceptance among Nigerians testified to the fact that it is the new hope of the people.

They also said the coming of the party has bolstered opposition in the country, as the people now have a viable alternative against the ruling APC.

“Before the coming of APDA, opposition in Nigeria was practically dead after the APC took power from the former ruling party, but today, Nigerians can boast of a viable opposition in APDA, a worthy alternative to the failed APC administration. In APDA Nigerians see a party they trust with their mandate to form government in 2019,” It noted.

“Having betrayed the trust of Nigerians, the only favor the ruling APC will offer the populace is to prepare their handover notes ahead of the 2019 General election so as to ease transfer of power to the APDA incoming government”.

“APDA is the only political party that has truly surrendered power in the hands of the people. APDA is the only political party in Nigeria that recognize that everyone irrespective of tribe, age, societal status or creed, is important in the Nigeria project”

“The youths being an important segment in Nigeria has constitutional provision of having a minimum of 25% slot in all party and public offices at every levels of the party and government formed by the party. This is unprecedented in the history of Nigeria”
“We call on fellow youths to take advantage of the APDA platform to actualise their noble ambitions of offering service to the nation”..
