Olusola Fabiyi, Abuja
The crisis rocking the Peoples Democratic Party has taken a new dimension as governors in the party have asked the party’s Acting National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus to leave office.
He was asked to handover the running of the party’s secretariat to the National Secretary, Prof. Wale Oladipo, and return to his position as the deputy national chairman.
The governors took the decision on Wednesday night.
Earlier on Wednesday, a former aide to former President Goodluck Jonathan, Ahmed Gulak, had stormed the party’s national secretariat in Abuja with his supporters and pronounced himself as the national chairman.
Details later…

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been declared winner of Gombe State’s Akko Federal Constituency rerun election conducted Wednesday 27, January 2016.
Announcing the results in Kumo, the Returning Officer, Sofeme Jebson, said that Ismaila Mu’azu Hassan of PDP was elected with 21,094 votes while Musa Danladi of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) took second with 4,578 votes.
Salisu Babikir of African Democratic Congress (ADC) scored 723 votes and Haruna Adamu of New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) scored 448 votes.
The All Progressives Congress, APC, had no candidate in the election, following the nullification of its candidate’s 2015 win by the Appeal Court.
The court had cancelled the election on the grounds that the candidate, Umaru Kawuwa Barambu, did not properly defect from the PDP.
Meanwhile, the election for the Akko North state constituency was declared inconclusive.

First it was Osun now Imo state have joined the state of onigbese . But why won't they be broke when they used their state funds to sponsor Buhari presidential campaign

IMO State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, yesterday disclosed that the state is insolvent, as its monthly wage bill has outstripped its monthly statutory allo­cation from the Federal Government. The governor said monthly servicing of the bailout fund has further compounded the situation.

This was just as he reiterated that there was no go­ing back on the state government’s decision to con­cession the management of parastatals.

Okorocha, who revealed this when he spoke to newsmen at the Government House in Owerri said the monthly wage of the state had always been high­er than what the state receives from federal alloca­tions and internally generated revenue.

“The monthly wage bill of the state is N4.2 bil­lion which is far higher than what we receive from federal allocation including the internally generated revenue which means that the state government has always been operating on a deficit. As at December 31, 2015 the state received N1.9 billion from the Federal Government while the monthly wage bill of the state for the same period was N4.2 billion.”

“We cannot continue to patch a cracked wall as if all is well, we need to break it down in order to rebuild it, and the current wage bill of the state is be­yond our capacity. Imo State now receives the least allocation among the South-East states because of the monthly repayment of the bailout fund which the state took from the Federal Government, a situation which has further compounded the financial situa­tion of the state.” The governor insisted that in spite of the financial dilemma of the state, no worker is being owed any salary.

THESE NORTHERN SENATORS SELF. THAT IS WHY NORTHERN STATES ARE ALWAYS LAGGING BEHIND

K

THE SPEECH WAS SO ARTICULATE .

Lalasticlala come see, shey na force to support apc

Kikero112:
They are personal.....however, there is a trend among employers, and not only in Nigeria....to look at what you post on Facebook,and to make decisions on whether to employ or to sack you on your postings.

While the University should not have fired him,if he wanted to make comments like that....he should have done so anonymously.Especially as his comments could be seen as incendiary.

BUT IS THAT THE RIGHT THING

TonyeBarcanista:
PDP as a party under Secondus did not condemn IPOB activities. It was individual Governors that did so. In fact, I stated that "The soul of the party moved from the hands of the people to those of corrupt and greedy men, men that empowers foot-soldiers that constantly offend people of non-SS/SE extraction and non-sympathisers of Kanu-secessionist IPOB movement" which I believe is correct. I make bold to state that the campaign of calumny by these people against my person and others not sympathetic to their cause started immediately I made public my view on the issue. I won't go deep!

IN THE LAST PDP CONFERENCE SOME MONTHS BACK, PDP CONDEMN THE ACTIVITIES OF IPOB AND ALSO PLEA WITH THEM TO HALT THEIR AGITATION. BUT LINKING IPOB TO PDP DOESN'T SPEAK WELL.

OVI75:
The people wu incited violence and hates speeches prior the gen election were workin fr world organisation abi,they were nt workn fr feds organization and states organization.

I THOUGHT POST ON YOUR FACEBOOK WAR ARE YOUR PERSONAL VIEWS, HOW IS THIS INCITING.

EL-RUFAI ONCE SAID. ANYONE ONE KILL A FULANI MAN HAS TAKEN A DEBT AND MUST PAY FOR IT. WHO ARRESTED HIM

INTROVERT:
"brigade of small angels "....... the man is mean sha..

lol

xreal:
oh, so it has gotten to that?

Na so we see am ooo

Barca my guy, you might be right. but link IPOB to PDP is wrong because no one in PDP have supported their activities. Besides PDP condemned it openly and even ban some of their activities, in PDP states.

The Kaduna State University has suspended one of its senior lecturers for posting a Facebook comment deemed as hate speech.
In December, John Danfulani stirred controversy by lashing at supporters of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, northern leaders, and President Muhammadu Buhari. He also mocked the large number of out-of-school children in the north.
Part of his Facebook post post said, “To them, APC is a religious party. Northern leaders under the party are demigods and crusaders of their ways of life. These people living in dusty villages of Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, Kano, Jigawa are quick in calling you ‘Arne or Kafiri’ (Meaning Pagan) once you express your view on anything their God PMB and his brigade of small Angels are doing. Attack the attacker, and lets the skies fall”.
Mr. Danfulani confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that he authored the post, which was widely circulated among Kaduna residents.
He subsequently deleted his Facebook page. Mr. Danfulani is believed to be currently out of the country.
After criticisms poured in, the university queried Mr. Danfulani, calling his post “divisive, injurious and tantamount to hate speech”.
In a query dated January 6, signed by the school registrar, Talatu A Kuri, the university said the lecturer should explain why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for a comment he posted on the social media.


“The content of the publication you authored is divisive, injurious to the University and tantamount to hate speech capable of inciting particular group of students against staff and other students. This behaviour is unbecoming of a lecturer who is supposed to mould students’ character and impart learning,” the letter said.
In his response, Mr. John said he was not furnished with details of his offence.
“It is a large world of dozens of platforms, most of which are yet to be in full practice in Nigeria. I have pages that upload my opinions on multifaceted local and international issues when my conscience and spirit direct me to do so,” he wrote.
“Because of this, I do not know on which of the platforms the piece that generated this query was hoisted because your query did not contain such details.”
He added: “My wall, updates and writings in the social media are all in my private capacity and not in my official capacity as a Lecturer with the University”.
Not satisfied with his response, the school authority suspended him from the university.
The registrar of the university, Talatu A. Kuri, last week, informed Mr. Danfulani of the decision.
The letter reads: “We refer to our letter of query dated 5th January, 2016, requesting you to explain within 48 hours why disciplinary action will not be taken against you for gross misconduct and confirm that you failed to respond.
“In line with S15 (1) 4 of KASU staff Conditions of Service, the Vice Chancellor has suspended you from duty forthwith and will report the matter to Council.”
A student leader of the university who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES said the post could have caused a major crisis save for the prompt response by the authorities.
On Saturday, the Kaduna State Security Council announced that it would henceforth prosecute any group of persons or individuals inciting ethno-religious crisis in the state.
Rising from its weekly security meeting, the council said the warning was necessary following reports of comments made by individuals capable of creating social unrest in the state.

EbukaFran:
You are an illiterate TANoid. That is why you are quoting Vanguard as if their views are gospel

That is Vanguard's interpretation and it does not mean it is true.

I WILL NOT WANT TO INSULT YOU, BUT IF THIS NEWS WERE TO BE FROM SAHARA REPORTERS YOU WILL APPLAUD IT SHEY OR WHOSE VIEWS ARE GOSPEL?

themall:
So in what way was ONOVO confounding the channels interviewers.
What I see is a man simply creating his own rules-a very easy thing to do.
A man exhibiting and trading some ignorance-a very easy thing to do.
A typical African half-educated man showing stubbornness and failing to recognize polite insults, but feeling he must carry on - a very easy thing to do

YOU CLAIM HE IS STUBBORN, BUT YOU DON'T SEE THE PRESENTERS COMING AT HIM AS IF THEY WERE APC REPS. WHEN ONOVO SAID, LACK OF FISCAL DIRECTIVES IS THE CAUSE BEHIND OUR ECONOMIC WOES ACCORDING TO CBN. MAUPE ARGUED WITH HIM WELL THIS IS THE SOURCE http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/09/lack-of-fiscal-directives-behind-current-economic-woes-cbn/ . WE'VE ALSO SENT IT TO MAUPE VIA HER TWITTER HANDLE, SO SHE'LL STOP ARGUING IGNORANTLY

RIP TO THE DEAD

EbukaFran:
This is typical IPOB analysis

An APC politician from Katsina was arrested by EFCC and charged to court for Corruption.

Senator Sanni from Zamfara is in the APC and he is currently facing trial for corruption. You dont see Northerners shouting and defending them.

Olu Falae, Bode George are Yorubas and you dont see the SW supporting them

But immediately Metuh was arrested, all sorts of groups started shouting on the internet calling for his release, despite evidence that he was involved in corruption under Jonathan.

A man gave out $2million in cash in his house. What do you want the government to do? Ignore it?

Remi Tinubu is entitled to her opinion and for your info, she was referring to the women in IDPs and not Nigeria as a whole.

CALL IT WHATEVER ANALYSIS YOU CHOOSE, ITS YOUR CHOICE. WELL I WILL LIKE TO GET THE NAME OF THE APC POLITICIAN FROM KATSINA THAT WAS ARRESTED BY EFCC AND CHARGED TO COURT.

SENATOR SANNI FROM ZAMFARA WAS ARRAIGNED FOR N1BILLION FRAUD AND WAS GRANTED BAIL SAME DAY, EVEN AS HIS SUPPORTERS ATTACKED THE COURT AND ICPC STAFF.

OLU FALAE AND BODE GEORGE NAMES WERE MENTIONED, WHERE DEY ARRESTED NO. BESIDE ARE APC MEMBERS SAINT, WHY IS AMEACHI, TINUBU, SARAKI AND CO STILL WALKING FREE.

WHETHER REMI TINUBU WAS REFERING TO IDP OR NOT, THE FACTS REMAINS THING ARE NOT GOING THE WAY ITS SUPPOSE TO AND THE OPPOSITION HAVE ALSO AT A POINT ACCUSED THE PRESIDENT OF SHORT CHANGING WOMEN IN HIS CABINET.

Justiyke4u:
Why is it that some people cannot just read through a topic and air their view without making one irrelevant reference. What has ibop or what is it called again has to do with this post

was surprised like you. I continue to ask myself must everyone be in APC

Splashme:
I'm sorry to say but Liar Muhammed is probably paying Maupe and
some other Channel's crew a second salary

my thought bro

theshaderoom:
Finally they meet their match. Always looking for a new person to flol like Oga at the top and have a viral video

Exactly Nigerians have being watching them all this while, today when the got their match Nigerians spoke up

EbukaFran:
They should stop shouting on the Internet and contribute their quota to Nigeria's development

Supporting corrupt politicians and criticising every government policy is an IPOB trait and nigerians reject such nonsense

How are they supporting corrupt politicians, while the president is fighting the opposition party in the name of corruption. Everyone supports the president fight against corruption, but are the people in APC saint? besides democracy is at its best when their is a viable opposition, everyone cannot support a APC that's a fact, the ruling party have to deal with. No individual will support a bad government policy, take a look at the joke called budget, how do u expect an unbiased Nigeria to support it. No wonder Remi Tinubu said yesterday that " the change Nigerians voted is not what they are seeing today.

kamatofeelz:
maupe met who pass am today #LOL

exactly go to Maupe twitter handle and see how she's being lambasted by Nigerians
