BREAKING: MAY 29!!! Stone Us, If We Fail After 2 Years – Nigerians Remember APC’s Words


A cross section of Nigerians, have said that the All Progressives Congress-led, APC, Federal Government, has failed to deliver on the basic needs of Nigerians in the last two years, because it lacked the experience and technical know-how to administer the country.

Recall, that a founding member of the APC, Prince Tony Momoh, had in April, last year, called on Nigerians to stone the members of the party, if by two years the ruling APC failed to deliver on the promised change.

Today being May 29, 2017, marking the two years anniversary of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC, many Nigerians have passed a verdict that the party has failed to actualise its campaign promises.

“Stone us”, Momoh said confidently, if within two years the current government fails to reverse the situation, even as he stressed that this government is laying the foundation for a new and better country.





“Nigerians are complaining of bad roads. But what happened to the several billions of money voted for road construction and rehabilitation under the Jonathan government? If we complain about security challenges, what happened to the billions of dollars voted to fight insurgency, which some people mismanaged, the same with power and other necessary infrastructure?” he had asked.

Reminding the APC of its failure, the Senator Ahmed Makarfi-led National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party, has said that there is no tangible achievement for the APC, to celebrate about.

In a statement issued by the Spokesman of the party, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, the opposition party accused the APC of squandering all the chances it has to leverage of the achievements it met on assumption of office, through its intolerance and highhandedness to any form of opposition, as well as crass ineptitude in governance.

It said: “We make bold to state that our deepest concern as a party to grow democracy in Nigeria, engendered the solid foundation we put in place, and guaranteed the agreeable atmosphere that enabled oppositions to thrive and consequently won elections.

“Unfortunately, this same party, the APC that benefited from free access to political space, has left no stone unturned in suppressing the PDP, and denying it to provide credible opposition in the country. It is Ironic!”

It dismissed the Buhari administration’s fight against corruption, as nothing but grandstanding and harassment of the opposition politicians.

The PDP said the APC had run the nation’s economy aground.

According to the party: “Record shows that Nigeria became the favoured investors’ destination in Africa, with the highest investment of $8.4 billion USD; and it attracted $20 billion USD worth of foreign investments in 3 years.

“But two years into the APC’s governance, as a result of incompetence and President Buhari’s de-marketing of Nigeria while globetrotting; investors (both local & foreign), have withdrawn their monies from the System, thereby, creating economic inactivity and consequent depression that we are being faced with alarming rate of suicide.”

Violence has erupted at the All Progressive Congress (APC) primary election holding at Teslim Balogun Stadium in Surulere, Lagos, to select Local Government chairmanship candidates.

Fight broke out in different corners, minutes after the Party’s electoral chairman, Senator Tokunbo Afikuyomi began to announce “consensus” candidates already endorsed by the party.

Supporters of aspirants who lost out got violent and moved toward supporters of those being declared as winner.

Broken bottles, plastic chairs, woods, stones, bottle water and sachet water were some of the weapons used to chase VIP delegates and other supporters out of the venue.

Recall that National Legal Adviser of the APC, Dr Muiz Banire, had raised alarm that the process of primaries was being manipulated through rigging “in favour of certain imposed candidates”.

Banire had also opposed the decision of the Lagos State chapter to conduct primaries election for all the aspirants in a single location.

He lamented that the decision was alien to the party and not in the APC constitution, warning against the holding the exercise in such manner.

In a letter addressed to the State Chairman, Henry Ajomale, Banire stressed that the Local Government Executives were empowered by the APC constitution to designate suitable venues for the exercise.

He said, “As the custodian of the party constitution, It is of utmost necessity for me to say immediately that this will not be in consonant with the letter and the spirit of the constitution.

“The (APC) constitution confers the power to designate the venue of such council primaries in the party Executive of the Local Government”.

Banire said in other states, local government primary nelections were never done in centralized locations including Benue State chapter of the APC that recently held its primaries.

He therefore asked the state chairman to comply with the provision of the APC constitution by stopping all arrangements for tomorrow’s centralised primaries and allowed the local government executives to designate venue for the exercise in their respective councils.

The APC legal adviser continued: “I must say that I do not want to believe that the essence of seeking to centralize the conduct of the primaries is to manipulate and rig the process in favour of certain imposed candidates.

“To avoid this, and in line with our great party’s practice of publicizing the conduct of primaries (right from the conduct of primary for presidential election to the primaries for election at the state level – gubernatorial and National assembly), the same tradition must continue with the primaries into local governments.

“I am also aware that the National body is sending monitors while observers are expected at the various venues.
We are committed to securing future of Nigerian child – Dogara


“I urge transparency and fairness in the conduct of the primaries. It is necessary to avoid any exercise in futility”.

The Independent National Electoral Commission INEC had in a press released distance itself from the illegal and unconstitutional double registration carried out by Governor Yahaya Bello if Kogi state.

The Independent National Electoral Commission has formally accused the governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, of registering for permanent voter card twice, in violation of federal electoral law.
The electoral body said Mr. Bello acted “illegally” to have registered for voter’s card in Abuja and Kogi, but said it could not take action against the governor because he is constitutionally protected from prosecution while in office.

Mr. Bello’s criminal behaviour came to light when photographs showed him being registered for by INEC officials in his office in Lokoja, his state capital. He had earlier been registered in Abuja.

The electoral commission, INEC, made its position on the scandal known on Thursday.
“The Governor’s double registration and doing so outside INEC’s designated centres are both illegal,” INEC’s national commissioner and chairman voter education committee, Solomon Soyebi, said on Thursday.

The commission denied authorising any staff or citizen to “re-register him or any citizen or to do so outside our designated CVR centres”.
Mr. Soyebi confirmed Gov. Bello was first registered at Wuse Zone 4, Abuja, on January 30, 2011, but illegally did so again on May 23, during the ongoing continuous voters registration exercise, in his Lokoja, Kogi State, office.

He said the commission “is taking disciplinary action against the INEC staff involved”, but regretted the governor’s immunity would help him escape prosecution.


“As for the State Governor, Section 308(1) (a) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) precludes INEC from prosecuting him while in office,” Mr. Soyebi said.
Nevertheless, his second and illegal registration now stands cancelled.
“However, INEC wishes to state that it has cancelled his second and illegal registration forthwith because our Electoral Law and the Commission’s guidelines make no exception for anyone to register more than once and outside the designated areas,” Mr. Soyebi said.
The spokesperson for the governor, Kingsley Fanwo, had said his principal had to register again in Kogi, because nothing had come of efforts to get INEC to transfer his voter’s card from Abuja to Kogi.
Mr. Soyebi did not address the alleged non-transfer of Mr. Bello’s voter’s card from Abuja to Kogi in his statement.
A group, Kogi For Change, in a statement signed by its chairman, Omeiza Yakubu, said it would take legal action in view of the illegality of Mr. Bello’s action.

“The impunity that unleashed the governor on the state is at work again and we are not going to take it lightly. As a matter of fact we have decided as a group to take the matter to talk. It is a criminal offence to engage in double registration,” the group said.

Did you bother reading this portion

Fayose is believed to be heading for the Alliance for Democracy (AD), the platform on which he is expected to anoint a successor for the 2018 governorship election.

His tenure will end on October 15, 2018, while the governorship poll will hold in about a year from now.
The battle for the soul of the PDP at the national level has shifted to the Supreme Court, which adjourned the case till May 25.

omaolowo:
Is Gov Fayose not on his second term?
Will he not be barred from contesting as a Governor?

Maybe the campaign in 2018 will be for his successor. And in 2019, he may want to go to the Senate

What is our Politicians looking for.

But in a post-judgment comment, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onneghen, noted that there was a “security breach” in the course of preparing the judgment as some politicians were desperately looking for the justice that would be assigned to write the judgment.


Justice Onneghen said the incident would be investigated and those culpable would be sanctioned.

He warned politicians to allow the judiciary to do its job without interference, as he said there were attempts by them to use court officials to get to know Justices of the Supreme Court that would prepare the lead judgment and what the court’s decision would be.

The Supreme Court on Friday put a final stop to any legal tussle over the authentic candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) during the Governorship election in Abia State in 2015 as the apex court held that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu was the duly elected governor of the state on the grounds that he was properly nominated by the PDP.

But in a post-judgment comment, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onneghen, noted that there was a “security breach” in the course of preparing the judgment as some politicians were desperately looking for the justice that would be assigned to write the judgment.

Justice Onneghen said the incident would be investigated and those culpable would be sanctioned.

He warned politicians to allow the judiciary to do its job without interference, as he said there were attempts by them to use court officials to get to know Justices of the Supreme Court that would prepare the lead judgment and what the court’s decision would be.

Delivering judgment on Friday in three separate suits filed against Ikpeazu by Samson Ogah and Friday Nwosu, the Supreme Court dismissed the applications on grounds that the suits lacked merit.

In the lead judgment written by a Justice of Supreme Court (JSC), Justice Musa Datijo Mohamed, and read by Justice Ejembi Eko, the apex court held that the appellants failed to prove his allegation that the tax clearance of the governor was forged.

According to the apex court , tax of civil servants are normally deducted from source and being a civil servant at the time, Ikpeazu’s tax was deducted at source, insisting that if there are any irregularities, it is not the governor that should be held responsible.

The court further awarded a cost of N250, 000 in favour of Ikpeazu and the PDP.

The fierce legal battle to unseat Governor Ikpeazu started after the verdict of the Court of Appeal in Abuja which in 2016 set aside the judgment by Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High Court in Abuja which removed Governor Ikpeazu from office.

The appellate court had in a unanimous judgment vacated the June 27, 2016 judgment of Justice Abang and held that the trial judge erred in law and that the judgment occasioned a miscarriage of justice against Ikpeazu.

A Justice of the Court of Appeal (JCA), Justice Helen Ogunwumiju, who delivered the lead judgment of the appellate court, held that Justice Abang “committed a grave violence against one of the pillars of Justice” relating to fair hearing.

Justice Ogunwumiju further held that Abang placed the law on its head when it directed the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to issue fresh Certificate of Return to Ogah.

Upholding Ikpeazu’s appeal, the Court of Appeal also awarded N100, 000 cost against Ogah and resolved all the five issues raised by the appellant in favour of Ikpeazu.

Justice Abang had in his judgments delivered on June 27, 2016 ordered the removal of Ikpeazu for allegedly disclosing false information in relation to his tax clearance details in his INEC form nominating him as the candidate of the PDP during 2015 governorship election in the state.

Justice Abang had also in the said judgment, directed that the governor’s rival, Ogah, who was the first runner-up in the primary that produced Ikpeazu, should be the candidate of the PDP to take over the reins of government in the state.

The judge also added that Ikpeazu was not qualified to be PDP’s candidate, having disclosed false information to INEC in violation of his party’s Article 14(a) of the PDP Electoral Guidelines and Section 31 of the Electoral Act.

But dissatisfied with the judgment, Ikpeazu approached the Court of Appeal, asking it to set aside Justice Abang’s judgment which removed him from the Abia State Government House.

The Supreme Court had, however, in its judgment delivered on Friday, stopped the dream Ogah and upheld the election
of Governor Ikpeazu.

The apex court also made a far reaching pronouncement on Ikpeazu, saying that he was validly nominated by the PDP to fly the flag of the party in Abia State.

Reacting to the verdict, Governor Ikpeazu said he is dedicating his victory over Uche Ogah at the Supreme Court to the people of Abia State, even as he invited his opponents to join hands with him to reposition the state.

Speaking with newsmen in Government House Umuahia after a church service, on Friday, Ikpeazu said the dedication of the victory to the people was because they stood by him all through the period of litigations.

Ikpeazu, who stated that the victory is a re-affirmation of the mandate given to him by the people, and now twice confirmed by the Supreme Court, thanked God for His mercies upon his life, the church for their fervent prayers and the people of the state for their support messages and sustained support and prayers, stressing that only God will take glory for the victory, and commended the judiciary for standing firm on the side of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The state Governor, who regretted that for the past two years, he has been in court with his fellow brothers from Abia, also called on all Abians to join hands with him to ensure accelerated growth and development of the state, stating, “It is a call for the re-dedication to the goals and vision of our government to take Abia to the next level. Victory is for Abians”.

He said: “God has made a name for himself. The time for politics is long over, and I have forgiven all those that were bent on distracting me. Let all well-meaning Abians, including my opponents, come and join us to grow and develop our state without distractions as we ultimately have stakes in the growth and development of our state and people.

“I am inviting all those who battled with me for the governorship seat to sheath their sword and return to the table and work with me in order to build a stronger Abia. If anyone means well for Abia, let him come and plan the development of Abia with me. This is the time for them to come to the table. We do not have the luxury of time any more”.

“Today, there is the work of Abia to do and history will judge us by how much of that work we do, not by how much politics we play. My doors are open to all, my ears are open to hear and my eyes are strong enough to read suggestions on how we can best deliver greater dividends to those who really matter: the great people of Abia State.”

Ikpeazu disclosed that he has no grudges for those who dragged him to court, and urged his supporters to also forgive his opponents and accommodate their faithful.

Meanwhile, following the announcement of the victory of Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu against Samson Ogah at the Supreme Court, Abuja, on Friday, it was jubilation all through Abia State, though minimal in Umuahia and most areas of Aba North and South LGAs.

In Aba South, the road leading to the council headquarters was entirely blocked by the supporters of the governor, while other areas were quiet, even in Aba North LGA.

In Umuahia, the sound of guns shots came from the seat of the Government, the Government House, as security executives used the occasion to express their joy over the victory, while elsewhere in Umuahia metropolis, it was not celebrated as would have been expected.

At the Government House gate, pockets of faithful carrying placards were seen jubilating as the governor zoomed out to attend an official function in Aba after addressing the Government House Press Corps.

Speaking with newsmen, the Deputy Chief of Staff in the office of the Governor, Chief Ukpai Agwu Ukpai, said the victory was through the instrumentality of God, stating that he really expected the victory.

He said before now, arguments of various school of thoughts tilted the victory towards Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu, stating that this was evident in the electoral law that said that if one did not participate in any election, he “cannot for any reason be awarded any position.

“This Ogah in question did not participate in the PDP primary elections. The reason was that after that primary, he refused to inspect the results of that primary election which excluded him from that primary.

“If he had signed that electoral result, that means he did participate. Therefore, he did not come from any platform to contest for the governorship position and one wonders what informs his going to court or is her one of those people that wanted to come from the back door?

Then DCOS, Office of the governor, said that despite the distractions, Ikpeazu has been doing well, expressing happiness that now that the distractions have been dismantled, the governor is going to concentrate and do more works for the states.

He said the governor is for all Abia and has extended his hands of fellowship to the loser, stating “in Abia now, there is no victor, no vanquished. He has extended his olive branch to them to come and help him develop the state.

“From Monday, all we see more actions”, he said and advised Abians to be calm and help Ikpeazu through support and prayers to work for the state.

Also reacting, the Security Adviser to Governor Okezie Ikpeazu, Capt Awa Kalu (rtd) expressed excitement over the victory “for the Governor, the state government and for the people”, stating that it is the day Abians were waiting for so that the state will move forward.

“If you know what has happened, you will realise that the governor must have been a very strong person, and personality to continue handling the state the way he has been moving the state forward in the mist of all these court processes.

“But from now, the best of him will come out and Abians will be better of”, he said, stating that the victory is for all Abians and Nigeria as a whole.

He stated that with the victory, he expects that the dividend of democracy will get right down to the grassroots, stating that what Ikpeazu has done will filter down and that the governor is going to do more “be it road construction, water construction, health, agriculture, security, in fact the five pillars of what he wants to do.

This is the time for him to be fully concretised and for Abians to realise that the governor is not only an intellectual, but somebody who believes in Abia and wants Abians to have the best.

Also reacting, the Methodist Archbishop of Umuahia, His Grace Chibuzo Raphael Opoko expressed happiness that the issue of court actions has finally came to rest, stating that over two years, the state has been bedeviled with
litigations that has made the state not to be stable.

According to him, now that the Supreme Court has laid the issue to rest, it is then will of God as the state cannot have two governors at a time, with one on the seat and the other in Government House.

The Methodist clergy stated that he would expect Gov. Okezie Ikpeazu to “sit down, look at the issues facing the state”, calling on all to pray for the governor “to do what God wants him to do for the state”.

Expressing his happiness, a former Managing Editor of The Daily Times of Nigeria, and a former Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Chief Onyema Ugochukwu, described the judgment as a landmark and a sign of good thing for the state.

Meanwhile, the chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance in Abia State, Rev. Austine Ehiemere, has described the victory of Governor Okezie Ikpeazu over Mr. Uche Ogah at the Supreme Court as a ridicule to the Nigerian judiciary.

Speaking in a telephone interview with journalists in Umuahia on Friday, Ehiemere said the judgment by implication will discourage public office holders from paying taxes, adding that justice has been murdered once again in the country.

The APGA chieftain alleged that some Peoples Democratic Party supporters in the state had been celebrating ahead of the judgment, meaning that they were already aware of its outcome.

Also reacting to the judgment, the media aide to Uche Ogah’s campaign organisation, Chief Joshua Ogbonna, said, ”if
the Supreme Court could set aside the judgment of Justice Okon Abang of the Federal High court Abuja, it means the issue of payment of taxes should be revisited and another law enacted.

Lalasticlala, Myd44 this what FG want the girl's to do.

A relative of one of the rescued Chibok girls, Peter Joseph, says the Federal Government has barred the girls from telling their parents or relatives about their experiences in Boko Haram captivity.

Joseph said this during a programme on Al Jazeera titled, “The Stream.”



He said his niece was one of the 21 schoolgirls rescued in October 2016 while his sister is still in Boko Haram captivity.

Joseph said over six months since their rescue, the schoolgirls had not been united with their families.

He said in December last year, the girls were allowed to return to Chibok but were kept in a government facility where their parents visited them. He said the girls were not allowed to go to their parents’ homes.

Joseph said, “I think there is something that the Federal Government does not want us to know and that is why they are keeping them away. Even when they [the schoolgirls] travelled to Chibok, they were not allowed to go to their houses.

“They were kept in government facilities in Chibok and anyone who visited them was made to sign a register, state the village where they came from, whom they wanted to see and then a time limit was given, after which you were asked to leave and there were certain things that you were not allowed to ask the girls.

“You can’t ask them about their experiences in Sambisa Forest. I mean, we don’t get it. Even now that 82 girls have been rescued, what has the government done about them? Up till today, the families have not met the girls.”

Joseph berated the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan, for saying that the girls were free to leave the government facilities anytime they wanted.

He said, “The Women Affairs minister is not saying the truth about this. What does she mean by the girls can leave at anytime when they don’t even allow family members or people that are concerned about them to come close to them?

“I wish she was here so that I would be able to ask her some questions personally because this thing has been bothering us the members of the family. The fact still remains that the Nigerian government needs to be open to the family members; the government needs to be open to everyone that is concerned.

“We don’t get it. I mean, are you trying to hide something? Is there something they don’t want us to hear from the girls? What are they hiding from us?”

Joseph said it seemed the girls had been transferred from Boko Haram captivity to government captivity.

He said, “Nobody is allowed to see them. So, it’s like another imprisonment, but this one has to do with the government.”

However, a top government official told our correspondent that the girls were being kept away from their families and friends for security reasons.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak with the media, said the girls were being prevented to speak because investigations were ongoing.

He said, “We are preventing the girls from saying too much because we don’t want them to say anything about their location that could tip-off the terrorists. We are still negotiating the release of 113 girls and any sensitive information that is released could jeopardise negotiations or investigations.”

All efforts to get Alhassan proved abortive as her mobile phone was switched off as of the time of filing this report.

Chief Justice of Nigeria describes this whole action as A STORM IN A TEA CUP.

According to the CJN, there is no way a man whose taxes were deducted at source could be held responsible for any mistakes in the tax document.

BREAKING: Okezie Ikpeazu wins at Supreme Court

The Supreme Court, Friday morning, affirmed Okezie Ikpeazu as the Governor of Abia State.

The case was filed by Uche Ogah who had accused Ikpeazu of allegedly submitting false tax information to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Ikpeazu defeated Ogah in the Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, primaries ahead of the 2015 gubernatorial election in the state.

Justice Okon Abang of a Federal High Court in Abuja had on June 27, 2016 sacked Ikpeazu from office as governor of Abia State, after the court found him guilty of tax offences.

Abang ordered Ikpeazu to vacate office for Ogah, who challenged Ikpeazu’s eligibility to contest the 2015 governorship election as the flag bearer of the PDP.

Following the judgment and order for the immediate inauguration of Ogah as Abia governor, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, issued him with the Certificate of Return.

But in another judgement in August, 2016, the Court of Appeal affirmed the election of Ikpeazu and quashed the judgment of Justice Abang.

The Court of Appeal described the ruling by Justice Abang as a rape of democracy, and ordered Ikpeazu to retain his office.

Subsequently, Ogah approached the Supreme Court where he prayed that the High Court judgement should be upheld.
‎In a judgement by the apex court, it faulted the judgement of the High Court, even as it awarded the sum of N250,000 against Ogah.

Meanwhile, in a reaction, Governor Ikpeazu, has dedicated his victory to the people of Abia state, who he said stood by him all through the period of litigations.

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Enyinnaya Appolos, Governor Ikpeazu stated that the victory is a re-affirmation of the mandate given to him by the people, and now twice confirmed by the Supreme Court.

He stressed that only God will take glory for the victory, and commended the judiciary for standing firm on the side of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Governor Ikpeazu wishes to call on all Abians to join hands with him to ensure accelerated growth and development of the state.

According to him; “the time for politics is long over, and I have forgiven all those that were bent on distracting me. Let all well meaning Abians, including my opponents, come and join us to grow and develop our state without distractions as we ultimately have stakes in the growth and development of our state and people

“Today, there is the work of Abia to do and history will judge us by how much of that work we do, not by how much politics we play. My doors are open to all, my ears are open to hear and my eyes are strong enough to read suggestions on how we can best deliver greater dividends to those who really matter: the great people of Abia State.”

ABUJA-The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Tuesday, declared as illegal, the Special Joint Investigative Panel that was constituted by the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Idris Ibrahim, to uncover those behind violence that marred the December 10, 2016, legislative re-run election in Rivers State.
Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike In a 106-paged judgment that lasted over five hours, Justice Gabriel Kolawole described the Police probe panel which included operatives of the Department of State Service, DSS, as “a strange contraption whose existence will create legal doubt”.
Justice Kolawole held that the 15-man Special Joint Investigative Panel is a body unknown to any law in the country.

To IGP here is a concrete evidence of your SAS commander Fakorede doing the job you send him.
