At the hearing, the lawyer to Okai, the accused person, applied for bail. After arguments for bail were heard by the court, the lawyer for the prosecution applied for two weeks adjournment for his opposition to the bail arguments be taken. His application was rightly rejected by the court. Not done away with, he, again, applied for the hearing to be stood down for two hours.

At the resumed hearing he caused a letter to be written to the court, informing it that he has taken ill and has been been rushed unconscious to the Lokoja General Hospital

DocHMD:
Standing 'firm'? Do you know whom you are talking about? Didn't know the word 'firm' now has a new meaning.

Let one kogi state politician throw some crumbs at the protectionist and see how he will dump that incarcerated guy like a hot potato and start writting unintelligible epistles about 'freedom after speech not being in the constitution'

Firm ko, Fufu ni!

Nairaland Doctor, how you dey

Asslicker, I have nothing to prove to bumbling illiterates and morons. I am a medical professional and the Gen Sec of our union in my state.

Just be rest assured I'm better financially, intellectually and otherwise than the both of you combined will ever be.

I wish him well in his struggle for political relevance, I pray his antecedents of wavering loyalty and lack of principles get him a political job. Since we know his certificate can't feed him like many youths in nigeria.

Babalawo is also a doctor,

EDO JUDGEMENT DAY!

Edo State election petition tribunal for the 2015 gubernatorial election is set to deliver Judgement this Friday 14th April 2017, by 10am.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Chairman of the National Caretaker Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Ahmed Makarfi, has assured party members that the mistakes made in Ondo and Edo states, which gave the All Progressives Congress (APC) upper hand, will not be repeated in Anambra State.

By implication, Makarfi has by this position conceded to the embattled national chairman of the PDP, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, to produce the gubernatorial candidate of the party ahead of the November 2017 election in Anambra.

Sheriff had on Monday met with PDP chieftains from Anambra where they discussed the forthcoming election.

The former Kaduna governor said state chapters of the PDP where elections are to be conducted in future should ensure they produce popular candidates to avoid splitting of votes.

Makarfi, who spoke in Kaduna while reacting on the crisis in the party and efforts by former President Goodluck Jonathan and other stakeholders to broker peace, said members of the caretaker committee still enjoy the support of all stakeholders.

He said the caretaker committee will not engage in any anti-party activities that would jeopardize the prospect of the PDP in any election in the future.

“Yes, Modu Sheriff is performing certain duties; I was also approached as caretaker committee chairman by some state chapters on some matters. And because I don’t want to cause the kind of problem like what Modu Sheriff caused in Edo and Ondo, I referred them to Wadata Plaza because I am a party man.

Daily Trust reports that Sheriff is currently holding sway at the Wadata Plaza, which is the national headquarters of the party.

According to Makarfi, “I could have chosen to behave the way Modu Sheriff behaved in Edo and Ondo; but we reflected on it and say ‘no we would not do that. Let us not engage in what would deny the party any chance of electoral victory at whatever level irrespective of whether people are sympathetic to us or not. The interest of the party should be paramount,”’ he said.

And the House Committee madness continue

The claim that Jonathan probably received as much as $200 million in the deal was also repeated by the Russian in a follow-up interview with Italian prosecutors, led by Fabio De Pasquale in Milan.

“I said that if it’s true, that he paid, he had to pay 400 million, I assume that at least 200 went to Goodluck (Jonathan).”

“I heard from Chief (Etete), he claims that he had to pay 400 million, so, if this is true, if he paid 400 million, then most probably the President, as the biggest boss, took at least the half of it,” documents prepared by Italian prosecutors quoted
