There are no confirmed death tolls from the market bomb attack. Sources at the scene said that two vehicles of policemen rode to State Specialist Hospital, followed by CJTF vehicles bringing some injured people from the Baga market blast.

A former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, has pledged his loyalty and support to President Muhammadu Buhari. Mr. Abubakar’s pledge is contained in a statement on Sunday by his media office. “Make no mistake about it Atiku Abubakar holds Buhari in the highest esteem, and would always remain loyal to him, and support him in every endeavour to succeed as president,” the statement signed by the head of the media team, Paul Ibe, said. Mr. Abubakar’s pledge comes amidst rumours that he was a mastermind of the emergence of Bukola Saraki as the senate president. Mr. Saraki, who like Mr. Abubakar is a member of President Buhari’s All Progressives Congress, APC, emerged senate president contrary to wish of his party. He got a block support of opposition senators of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to emerge senate president at an election were 51 APC senators were absent due to a scheduled meeting with Mr. Buhari. Since his emergence, which was initially rejected by the APC, Mr. Saraki has been making efforts to reconcile with the president. Mr. Abubakar, who like Mr. Saraki decamped from the PDP to APC before the general elections, described the politics of the emergence of Mr. Saraki as a product “of interplay of politics which is itself in constant motion.” Read the former vice president’s statement below. A former Vice President and chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), Atiku Abubakar says it is dangerous for any individual or group in the ranks of the ruling party to constitute themselves into an opposition even before the constitution and take off President Muhammadu Buhari’s government. The former Vice President made the call against the backdrop of developments in the polity, which he notes are interplay of forces and interests that are dynamic, but must not be promoted to the point of being a threat to our democracy and the new administration. In a press statement released by his media office in Abuja on Sunday, 21 June and signed by Paul Ibe, the Turaki Adamawa while acknowledging that it is legitimate and desirable for individuals or groups to seek to pursue their interest, it must be done with the benefit of sustaining our democracy and promoting equity, fair play and justice in mind. “Anything to the contrary may jeopardise our hard-earned democracy and constitute a clog in the wheel of the new administration,” Atiku said. He noted that because of the historic nature of the mandate of President Muhammadu Buhari and the arduous challenges ahead to deliver on making Nigeria work for all Nigerians, it is important, especially for members of his own party, to rally behind him in the quest to enthrone good governance, that will spur security and stability, economic and social development, job creation, infrastructure renewal and above all a better life for Nigerians. The former Vice President urged members of the APC to emulate the unity of all the presidential contestants after the party’s Lagos primaries and support the President to form his government and get to work. The statement exonerated Atiku Abubakar of the purported hijack of the party and the National Assembly towards 2019 as figment of the imagination of those promoting it and asked Nigerians to ignore all such insinuation. He notes that the recent outcomes of the National Assembly election contrary to insinuations are products of interplay of politics which is itself in constant motion. “In politics, it is a mistake to expect fixed outcomes. As the President has done, let’s all come to terms with what has happened in the interest of the system and move on. Suffice it to say that the new administration should be allowed a smooth take off and be allowed the atmosphere to deliver. On this, I stand with President Buhari,” Atiku said. The Turaki Adamawa while restating his unalloyed commitment to the Buhari administration pledged to back this commitment with all of the assets at his disposal. “Not only did Atiku Abubakar congratulate Buhari after his emergence as the presidential candidate of the APC at the party’s national convention in Lagos, he also handed over his best assets to the Buhari Presidential Campaign. The former Vice President enthusiastically handled the diplomatic assignment of seeking endorsement for Dr. Adesina as the President of the African Development Bank on behalf of President Buhari and would be available for any other assignments as the President pleases. “Make no mistake about it Atiku Abubakar holds Buhari in the highest esteem, and would always remain loyal to him, and support him in every endeavour to succeed as president.” The APC chieftain also called on Nigerians with members of the President’s own party taking a lead in their undiluted support of his administration. “We, the members of the President’s own family need to lead in this direction for others to follow for the good of our nation and its peoples.” Atiku Abubakar denounced the increasing determination of some people to draw a wedge between President Buhari and himself. “It has become crystal clear even to the blind that the motives of these hatchet men who are desperate to take every available newspaper space is to insult, vilify and calumniate the former Vice President. “We cannot allow liars, denigrators and blackmailers and their sponsors to use Atiku as platform to ingratiate themselves with President Buhari and hijack his presidency under the pretext of loving him more than anyone else. These political ventriloquists are hiding behind the cover of anonymity to achieve their sinister agenda of making Atiku the fall guy in the unfolding political developments.” http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/185451-i-remain-loyal-to-buhari-atiku.html?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter |
barcanista:We know that the op is loyal to the defeated president and all those claims do not hold water. Buhari has declared his assets unlike GEJ who is now stupendous rich. He never declared his assets before and after leaving office. We all know that Jonathan was behind Nyako's illegal impeachment because he accused the Nigerian military of genocide against hapless civilians. Amnesty International have not only confirmed Nyako's claims but went ahead to name names of military officers and ask for investigations and prosecution. So you think Buhari forgets the role of the military in the inglorious Era of Jonathan? How they hide his certificates and all that? You'll have to think again. The op is a joke to claim that Buhari is not doing anything about insecurity. Nigerians know that the maiden foreign trip of PMB to Chad and Niger was not for safari but to strengthen the operation against insurgency. PMB is not a magician to just wish fuel price back to 84 naira. Not after GEJ and his cronies in oil and gas almost shut down the country with fuel scarcity in the twilight of the regime. As for appointments you are not in a position and lack the locus standii to decide when the President makes his appointments. The Constitution gives him enough time to do that. So PMB should ignore pessimists like you and take his time to put square and round pegs into square and round holes respectively. And not the other way round. Accusing PMB of whatever happened to Sylva's case amounts to mischief that only gullible minds will listen. The case did not start yesterday. If the case was diligently prosecuted by the deceased ignoble regime it will have ended with them. You must be told that the independence of the judiciary from the Executive and legislative arms of the government is what democracy is all about. You alleged Buhari did not do anything yet you are implying that he had the case against Sylva struck out. To be sincere the name Bacanista rings a bell in this forum but you got it all wrong this time. You must back your criticisms with verifiable facts and logic as not all of us are fools. Raising this phony allegations about Buhari this early portrays you as a hater of Buhari and Nigeria. This will make sensible people not take you serious any longer |

Former Inspector General of Police Mike Okiro, who also is the current chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), was reportedly subdued during questioning yesterday by anti-corruption agents over his alleged role in a fraud involving N350 million. A source at the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) told a correspondent of SaharaReporters that Mr. Okiro seemed sometimes disheartened yesterday as he was questioned on alleged fraudulent embezzlement of funds obtained by the police commission for an election-related study. Mr. Okiro presented himself early yesterday morning at the offices of the ICPC. His police orderly, George Todonu, and two officials of the Police Service Commission, including an accountant, A. Bisala, accompanied him to the ICPC. Other PSC officials arrived at the ICPC headquarters about two hours later, our source disclosed. Mr. Okiro’s interrogation arose from a petition against him that was submitted to the ICPC by Aaron Kaase, an official in the PSC’s press and public relations department. The Police Service Commission suspended Mr. Kaase for contacting the media with allegations of Mr. Okiro’s fraudulent activities. The petition accused the former Inspector General of massively defrauding the Police Service Commission. Part of Mr. Kaase’s petition alleged that Mr. Okiro swindled the PSC of more than N275 million. A copy of the petition stated that the PSC received N350 million “from the National Security Adviser (NSA) purportedly to train her staff in monitoring the conduct of the Nigeria police in the concluded general election.” The petitioner added that the PSC asked for and received approval from Bureau of Public Procurement (BPP) to use “selective tendering method” for the training of commission’s staff who were to monitor the police role in the 2015 general elections. Mr. Kaase wrote to the ICPC that Mr. Okiro “quoted the prices for the training as follows: Abuja (Abuja staff) 500 participants, awarded to Bobec & Associates at N95.3 million; Kano staff (200 participants) awarded to Direct Knowledge Consult Limited at N95 million and Lagos staff (200 participants) awarded to Tzone Communications Limited at N85 million.” His Kaase’s petition underscored the fraudulent nature of Mr. Okiro’s breakdown of the training funds. Specifically, the petitioner noted that the entire employees of the Police Service Commission are not up to 400 in number. “It is also a fact that the Commission has no office in Lagos and the entire South West. It is also a fact that the Commission has less than 10 members of staff in Kano,” the petition stated, adding that Mr. Okiro misled the Bureau of Public Procurement in order to obtain an approval for a fraudulent disbursement of the N350 million. Other allegations in Mr. Kaase’s petition include one that, in 2013, Mr. Okiro received N4.6 million ostensibly for a first class flight ticket to the U.S., but never made the trip. The petitioner also accused Mr. Okiro’s police orderly, Inspector George Todonu, of obtaining cash supposedly meant for two different police conferences that were scheduled within the same dates in Orlando, Florida (USA) and Dublin, Ireland. According to the petition, despite the fact that he collected monies for the two coinciding conferences, Mr. Todonu did not attend either conference. Mr. Kaase also accused the former IGP of using several of his personal aides, including Supreme Ibitomi and Peter Opara, as fronts to collect allowances from the commission. In a related development, Mr. Kaase reported that he had faced harassment and his life threatened for submitting the petition. According to him, at a meeting at Mr. Okiro’s office on June 2, 2015, a visibly shaken former IGP asked him to withdraw his petition, retract his media statements, and write an apology in exchange for the lifting of his suspension. Our source at the ICPC declined to reveal specific details of Mr. Okiro’s responses to specific allegations in Mr. Kaase’s petition, adding simply that the anti-corruption agency wanted to “do a thorough investigation.” Mr. Okiro was granted administrative bail and left the ICPC headquarters just after 4 p.m. yesterday after questioning. http://saharareporters.com/2015/06/05/okiro-subdued-during-icpc-questioning-over-n350-million-fraud-allegations |

gateleo:And Nyesom Wike instigated and fuelled Amaechi's quarrel with the first lady all for his inordinate ambition to become governor. In other words Wike cunningly and intelligently converted Jonathan's presidency to his governorship seat. Unfortunately most Rivers people are blind to this fact. They believe that Wike is loyal and Amaechi is not. Time shall tell how loyal he will remain, and for how long. |
EXCLUSIVE: Kashamu Aide Tells SaharaTV That He Threatened Suicide To Prevent Arrest Oyinokor also accused Bode George’s wife, Roli George, who is the Head of the National Drug and Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) authorizing the raid to garner political points in the upcoming Buhari administration which claims that it will fight corruption. During an exclusive interview with SaharaTV, Austin Oyinokor, the Media Adviser to Senator-Elect Buruji Kashamu, said that Mr. Kashamu said he wanted to kill himself only to prevent getting arrested. Senator-Elect Kashamu has been accused by the United States of trafficking drugs through Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport in the 1990s, and has placed an extradition order to the Nigerian government for his arrest, according to reports. Mr. Kashamu was held for several years in the United Kingdom on related charges, however he was released. Mr. Kashamu has repeatedly denied any involvement in narcotics trafficking, and has said that no extradition order exists. In the early morning hours today, the Nigeria Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) surrounded Mr. Kashamu’s Lagos residence, and attempted to breach his front door. Since that period, Mr. Kashamu has barricaded himself in the bedroom of his house--threatening suicide if anyone enters his home. However, speaking today to SaharaTV his Media Adviser Austin Oyinokor said the threats were “just to show that as a law-abiding citizen, as a responsible man who knows that he has a lot of followers and a lot of people that depended on him. I know that he will not take such an action. He just said it probably to show that he was ready to give anything to ward off any form of illegality.” Mr. Oyinokor added by saying that, “we hope that all Nigerians and even the international community will prevail these people to...the part of illegality, the part of the rule of law, follow due process. This man is not running to anywhere, he has said it time and again; he is not in hiding; if he was running, they won’t meet him at home. Yesterday he was at work, and he went home like any other person.” Oyinokor also accused Bode George’s wife, Roli George, who is the Head of the National Drug and Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) authorizing the raid to garner political points in the upcoming Buhari administration which claims that it will fight corruption. Oyinokor claimed that the NDLEA siege was illegal because no arrest warrant has been presented. “Our question is why would the NDLEA come for him [Kashamu] with hooded men and without a warrant of arrest, we felt that there must be a political undertone, we felt that maybe the disagreement we had in the PDP before the last general elections may have necessitated this kind of extrajudicial action because there isn’t any court order and there isn’t a warrant of arrest.” Oyinikor also said that Kashamu’s spirit is very positive and welcoming the public to hear his side of the story. “He actually said that I should invite the press, the whole world to come and know what is happening here, that they have come to illegally abduct him; we actually called them [Press], and that they should come report this illegality to the whole world.” “He is in high spirit; all he is asking for is for the due process of the law to be followed; he is not entertaining any fear at all.” http://saharareporters.com/2015/05/23/exclusive-kashamu-aide-tells-saharatv-he-threatened-suicide-prevent-arrest |
Kano Government Drops Charges Against Child Bride Accused Of Poisoning Husband Wasila Tasiu admitted to killing her husband last year by putting rat poison in his food, which also killed three other people and hospitalized 10. The State prosecutor, Abba Lamido Sorondinki, told the High Court of Kano on Wednesday that the government has dropped the murder charges held against her. Wasila, who married Umar Sani, was charged with culpable homicide after she admitted to killing her husband in 2014. The State prosecutor also told the Court that, “I am heartily declaring the government’s position is to drop the charges against her, and that she should be set free.” The case will officially be dropped once the presiding judge, Justice Muhammad Yahaya, issues a written or verbal statement adjourning the case. Wasila Tasiu admitted to killing her husband last year by putting rat poison in his food, which also killed three other people and hospitalized 10. http://saharareporters.com/2015/05/20/kano-government-drops-charges-against-child-bride-accused-poisoning-husband |
Nigeria Governors’ Forum Turns Against Okonjo-Iweala, Demand Explanation For Missing $20 Billion The statement expressed outrage, questioned her integrity, and demanded that she give an explanation regarding the missing $20 billion from the state coffers. Governors attending Nigeria’s Governors’ Forum took aim at Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, in a statement released from the proceedings today. The Forum, presided over by its Chairman Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State, was held at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel in Abuja. The statement expressed outrage, questioned her integrity, and demanded that she give an explanation regarding the missing $20 billion from the state coffers. The Governors’ Forum statement is the latest development centered on the controversial PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) audit of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), which was spurred by Lamido Sanusi exposing to the public the missing money. Sanusi, now the Emir of Kano, was sacked by President Jonathan for blowing the whistle on the mission $20 billion. Governor Amaechi demanded action from Okonjo-Iweala on the missing money in a statement that “In the light of the facts that funds in the Excess Crude Account were last disbursed in May 2013, there is need for the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala to provide explanations for accruals to this account from June 2013 to April 2015 which is estimated at over $20billion." Governor Amaechi also announced that a Governors’ Forum Academy called the “NGF Leadership Academy” would be set up, and will be responsible for leadership development targeting governors and public officials. Governor Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State was also elected Chairman of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, which was also announced by outgoing Chairman Amaechi. Governor Yari was elected by consensus to serve as Chairman for one year. He has been Deputy Chairman of the Forum but no one has been appointed to replace that role, according to reports. The future of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum was uncertain in 2013 when it split into two competing groups. During the election, Governor Amaechi dislodged his opponent Jonah Jang, the Governor of Plateau State. http://saharareporters.com/2015/05/19/nigeria-governors%E2%80%99-forum-turns-against-okonjo-iweala-demand-explanation-missing-20-0 |

As President Jonathan Heads For Otuoke, He Leaves Legacy Of Corruption, Lies, And Waste By Bayo Oluwasanmi Almost from the first day in office Jonathan failed to grasp the difference between truth and falsehood. His proclaimed primary objective was to destroy federalism, states' rights and the unity of our country. Indeed, Jonathan has proven to be the great divider of our people than a uniter Looking back through our history, Nigeria has been led by a series of heads of states and presidents. Some like Murtala Muhammed, Muhammadu Buhari the President-elect, and Yakubu Gowon left a legacy of service and wisdom. Others of course, like Sanni Abacha and Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida have been disasters. Majority of Nigerians would agree that President Goodluck Jonathan belongs to the latter group. History is, ultimately, the judge of one's legacy. Some who were judged great and others who were considered failures, their legacies inform our lives and guide us into the future. Jonathan governed during one of our nation's darkest hours. He leaves behind a legacy of corruption, lies, and waste. In many ways he is the wrong person for the times – a man who seems not to understand the gravity of leadership in perilous times. Taking office in 2011, he said: “My dear compatriots, … Together we will unite our nation and improve the living standards of all our peoples whether in the North or in the South, in the East or in the West. Our decade of development has begun … The day of transformation begins today.” … We must grow the economy, create jobs, and generate enduring happiness for our people. Jonathan consistently pontificates that he's fighting corruption. However, corruption scandals involving many of his prominent cabinet members provides a glimpse into the reactionary politics, political division, and social and economic parasitism of his administration. Jonathan's administration is an epitome of corruption. Since he assumed office in 2011, corruption has gripped and crippled all sectors: oil industry, pension commission, the police, the military, aviation, civil service, mint and printing company, name it. The monies involved run into millions and billions if not trillions. He promotes corruption by his actions and inaction. He surrounds himself with felons and proven thieves and thugs such as Femi Fani-Kayode, Ayodele Fayose, Doyin Okupe, Kashamu Buruji, Bode George, Iyiola Omisore, and other illustrious criminals. He pardoned his former boss the poster child of corruption, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha. Our foreign reserve account, which was $62 billion in 2008, is down to $38 Billion while the excess crude oil account, which in 2009 was $20 billion is down to zero. The domestic gas project aimed at generating power has gulped $12 billion by December 2014 and nothing to show for it. Jonathan remains silent till now on N155 billion oil scandal involving government officials, Shell, Subsidiaries in Nigeria. The money was paid on the order of Jonathan to Malibu Oil and gas, a company owned by Dan Etete, a former oil minister under late General Sani Abacha. Ten billion Naira was expended on chartered jets by the oil minister Diezani Alison-Madueke. On top of the $20 Billion missing from NNPC accounts, Alison-Madueke was involved on royalties and signature bonuses and was ordered by PriceWaterhouseCoopers auditing firm to refund $1.48 billion to the public coffers. Stella Oduah former aviation minister, with taxpayers' money purchased N225 million BMW armored cars for her personal use. Alison-Madueke on behalf of Jonathan bankrolled AIT $10 billion bribe to produce and air negative documentaries on leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) – Muhammadu Buhari, Ahmed Tinubu, and Yemi Osinbajo. Under Jonathan, the federal government's debt has risen by $18.40 billion (N3trillion) in the last four years. Jonathan paid N7 billion bribe to Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) for the group to campaign against Buhari. The cost of Jonathan's campaign for the March 28 elections was a staggering one trillion Naira. In fact, by the first week of March, Jonathan had spent about N1.05 trillion. In 2013,Trade and Investment Minister Olusegun Aganga said Nigeria lost N755 billion monthly to inaccurate measurements of exports. A man who embezzled N7.2 billion Police Pension Fund was only fined N750,000. Lucky Igbinedion's brother, Michael Igbinedion who stole N25 billion from Edo State coffers was fined only N3 million. The N2.5 trillion fuel subsidy scam still unaccounted for. Jonathan believes the problem of corruption is over flogged. At the funeral of General Owoye Azazi, Jonathan said corruption was not the cause of Nigeria's problems. He was reacting to a statement by one of the officiating priests who had argued that corruption was the cause of all Nigeria's problems. “Most of the things we think are caused by corruption are not,” says Jonathan. “This is because Nigeria has several institutions that fight corruption.” The judiciary was not spared from corruption. Under Jonathan, Nigerian judges are to justice and the rule of law as Hitler is to peace and religious freedom. During his administration, Jonathan embarked on reckless spending that benefits his wealthy elite of millionaires and billionaires, his cabinet members, political appointees, business associates, pastor friends and spiritual counselors and saw their ranks swelled and their fortunes fattened. The result is a social and economic polarization unprecedented in the history of our nation. Jonathan's principal task was to police the yawning class divide, hiring the largest number of do-nothing political parasites, fund redundant agencies with overlapping functions with no objectives, no focus, no result. His inner circle of friends and appointees felt they were entitled to a life of luxury at the expense of the nation. This was part of the toxic atmosphere of corruption, poverty, hopelessness, fear, hatred, class division that hung over Nigeria under Jonathan. But misuse of public funds is the true treason. For every Naira pilfered from the government an underprivileged child goes hungry. As a result of Jonathan's self-enrichment drive, pregnant women were denied the right to access medical care from hospitals. The sick, especially the vulnerable ones like senior citizens, children with special needs, and the infirm were denied the urgent medical needs. Each day, Nigerians are greeted with a shocking distraction from their daily troubles with unbelievable news of corruption. For Jonathan, he has nothing to worry about. There was no reprimand for the perpetrators. Company CEOs, bank executives, ministers, political appointees, caught with their hands in the cookie jar, Jonathan did nothing to stop large caliber corruption charges, even at close range. A writer once described Jonathan as a “serial liar.” Each opportunity he has to address the problems of the nation, he oozes out a bagful of lies. Samples: Jonathan vows to end Boko Haram menace (AFP April 19, 2012). Jonathan vows 'Major changes' for Nigeria (Dailymotion, April 20, 2011). Nigerian President vows to Return nation to Order (Vanguard Apil 21, 201). Nigerian President vows to Strengthen Democratic Rule (Voice of America, May 30, 2011). Jonathan vows to “crush terrorists” (Reuters, Dec. 31, 2011). Jonathan vows not to shield any corrupt person from investigation or prosecution by anti-graft agencies in the country (NewsDiary, May 4, 2012). Corruption: No more sacred cows, Jonathan vows (vanguard July 26, 2011). I've fulfilled my promises to Nigerians – Jonathan (Premium Times November 11, 2014). While majority of Nigerians are restless about where their next meal would come from, when civil servants are not paid for months, when six million jobs promised youths never materialized, when students protested against hiked fees, when civil and human rights organizations denounced the travesty of justice in the land, Jonathan and his crew clung to the mentality of broiler chickens which eat without stopping. As we remember the waste and the ruins of the Jonathan years, we must remember that the function of memory is not only to register past events, but to stimulate human conscience. The future of our great nation can be different and it should be different. We must move from memory to action. Farewell to the native son of Otuoke! http://saharareporters.com/2015/05/18/president-jonathan-heads-otuoke-he-leaves-legacy-corruption-lies-and-waste-bayo |

Mixed Metaphors: Hypertension In High Places By Sonala Olumhense Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Coordinating Minister for the Economy and Minister of Finance, last week disclosed she suffers from high blood pressure. Also hypertensive, according to her: Bashir Yuguda, the Minister of State for Finance, and Anastasia Daniel-Nwaobia, the Permanent Secretary. This health condition is blamed on the stress of managing the economy. “The amount of stress in the Ministry is unbelievable,” Dr. Okonjo-Iweala declared. “Many times we are in the office until [one o’clock in the morning], looking for ways…to make payment.” The Minister went further to disclose that an alarming 70% of the staff of her Ministry has the same condition. Mercifully, she was speaking at the commissioning of a clinic belonging to the Ministry where, she said, “people can go and check quickly up when they start having headache before someone collapses.” I think it is a mistake to blame the hypertension level in Finance on the mountainous challenge of counting money in an economy she has always declared to be in wonderful shape, and in which President Goodluck Jonathan lavished so much money on his re-election effort. The more important question is whether the same level of illness is true of the nation’s work force and its population in general. For decades, including the past one in which Madame Minister has twice been part of arrogant, preachy governments, it is common knowledge that privileged government and party officials and their families have seen little wisdom in developing our healthcare system. Nigerians simply suffer and die. Speaking of hypertension, the acrimony and shouting in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over its loss of the presidency continues. President Jonathan’s aides are at war with members of the National Working Committee; Jonathan is blaming governors and other party members, some of whom are blaming him for a variety of shortcomings. Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has labeled party chairman Adamu Mu’azu a saboteur, and threatened to expose his collusion with the party that has pushed the PDP to the edge of suicide. Meanwhile, Senate President David Mark has described the PDP as being in a coma, and hemorrhaging, pleading that the squabbling by party leaders could see to its end. “Unless we halt the bleeding and find the necessary therapy, we may be heading for the final burial of the party,” he told the party’s post-election assessment committee last week. He asked the committee to “unearth the remote and immediate causes of our misfortune and make recommendations that will enhance the future of the party.” I find it amusing that the PDP claims it is looking for the causes of its collapse beyond its condemnable irresponsibility and kleptomania superintended by key men such as Mark himself. There is nothing to diagnose or recommend. This is the point where I agree with Governor Fayose: the party’s chairman and NWC ought to accept responsibility for the mess, and resign. Under the PDP constitution, however, Mr. Jonathan will now replace “Mr. Fix-It” Tony Anenih as chairman of the Board of Trustees. But that is the same Jonathan—who retains Fayose’s support—and who ran the party aground. If the party wants recommendations, here is one: follow through with Fayose’s prescription and escort Mr. Jonathan out completely. Second: amend the constitution again and let the best candidate for the job assume that office: Patience Jonathan. Now, there’s a tigress capable of remolding the PDP in the proper image: her own. Some wounds must be treated. Unfortunately, other wounds must be licked. Last week, worried about the fate of the Igbo in the forthcoming government, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Caretaker Committee headed for Abuja to face the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari. There is no evidence they voted for Buhari. In fact, rather than vote for candidates of Buhari’s party, they enthroned characters of doubtful and dubious records. When the smoke cleared, it was clear something had to be done, and it appears some of the members advocated bowing and begging as a shameless new weapon. And selling too, of course. And so, the Caretaker Committee appeared before Buhari, and put President Jonathan up for sale. They told the incoming leader that the outgoing leader had deceived the Igbo about contracts for the Second Niger Bridge (SNB) and major federal roads in the South East, but that he had lied and tricked them for their votes. For those who do not know, President Jonathan is a politician. But the way he handled the SNB issue, you might have thought he was the footballer JayJay Okocha as he dribbled his way to the Igbo vote time and again. He promised them the SNB in 2007 and again in 2011. Even after the 2011 election, at a Town Hall meeting in Onitsha on August 30, 2012, he promised that if he failed to build the SNB before completing May 29, 2015, he would go on exile. In March 2014, he promised them the bridge…in 2019! I thought the Igbo leaders who were licking their wounds in Abuja last week had gone to demand that exile. But they were there to hawk blame and sell…somebody. In my view, they do not need Buhari for that. What they need are glasses. That is how you see a little more clearly when you are older, and spot fake or expired goods. I turn to sport. Nigeria’s most successful contemporary Track and Field athlete, Blessing Okagbare, continues to combat the lame administrators of the sport in Nigeria. Explaining how her team won the 4x200m gold medal at this month’s IAAF Relays in the Bahamas, she has said two critical things. The first: members of the team picked themselves, with no input from uncommitted coaches. The second: she dismissed Nigeria’s refusal to nurture athletes domestically, preferring to recruit athletes abroad, and accusing administrators of “killing our grassroots section and home-based athletes”. "What a show of shame the administration [of Nigerian athletics] has become!” she reportedly wrote on Facebook last week, carpeting them for seeking “short cuts to success”. "They sit down, criticise the athletes back home that they are not improving or doing enough to be at the top yet they don't do anything to support them. "They rate their recruits above the great talents that the country have, paying money and rent to athletes, who have not even shown up to our Nigeria trials just to look good." Ms. Okagbare is correct, of course, and I commend her for continuing to speak out. She knows that successful athletes are trained on a continuous basis, not just ahead of competitions, and that quick-fix importations actually hurt the country. Finally, military sources are now revealing that up to 1000 women, girls and young children have now been rescued from the clutches of Boko Haram. Some 140 of the women are pregnant. Who are these people? Will the government make appropriate and sustained provisions for their medical and other needs? http://saharareporters.com/2015/05/09/mixed-metaphors-hypertension-high-places-sonala-olumhense |
INEC Card Reader Exposes Electoral Fraud In Delta Governorship Election With Conflicting Records Of Accredited Voters A monumental electoral fraud in the April 11 Delta State governorship contest has been exposed. An impeccable senior staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja has told SaharaReporters that at the headquarters of the commission in Abuja, the Certified True Copy of Card Readers record of accredited voters showed that Card Reader accredited voters was only 709,700. This is contrary to the Delta State INEC record, which put the number of accredited voters at 1,017,796. This is significant because by himself, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, grabbed nearly 15,000 more votes all by himself: 14,980 votes. Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan and Ifeanyi Okowa during the service Announcing the result of the governorship contest on April 13, the Returning Officer, Prof. Bio Nyananyo, said Okowa had polled 724,680 votes to beat his closest rival, Chief Great Ogboru of the Labour Party, who got 130,028 votes; while Olorogun O’tega Emerhor of the All Progressives Congress (APC) finished in the 3rd position with 67,825 votes. Furthermore, Nyananyo said Okowa had won in 21 local government areas out of the 25, while Ogboru clinched the remaining four. "Okowa, having won the highest votes in the elections, which was contested and having satisfied the provisions of the law is hereby returned as winner and governorship-elect for Delta,” the professor said. “18 political parties participated in the governorship election while there were 2, 044,372 registered voters and 1,017,796 accredited voters. The exercise recorded 931,808 valid votes while 24,913 ballots were rejected." By the professor’s announcement, Okowa had 14,980 votes more than the number of accredited voters in the entire state. "I can authoritatively tell you that the card reader usage [has] really exposed so many frauds as far as the governorship election was concerned in Delta state, the details of the results at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Headquarters in Abuja is at variance with INEC records in Delta State,” our source said. “The Certified True Copy of Card Readers record of accredited voters as transmitted by the card reader to the central data collation system is 709,700 voters while the records of Delta State INEC office is showing that accredited voters was 1,017,796." This development at INEC Headquarters, our correspondent learnt, has given credence to the concerns raised by Chief Ogboru and Olorogun Emerhor that the governorship contest was marred by fraud. Both candidates called for an outright cancellation. Speaking during a press conference shortly after Okowa was declared the winner, Ogboru said, “We have recorded series of irregularities in five councils including parts of Ethiope East, Bomadi and Ika North East. PVCs were brought in their hundreds and used to vote without being authenticated by the card readers. "We are having mixed feelings about the elections and are documenting these observations. From the records collected from our agents we actually won in 15 local government areas, but the results announced showed otherwise." Ogboru therefore called for the cancellation of the collation, saying that the people of Delta State could no longer accept the tyranny of a group of individuals in the state which began 16 years ago. In the same vein, APC’s Emerhor also described the election as a fraud that had no bearing to the will of the electorate. “A deliberate and well-orchestrated war was unleashed by PDP on voters in most parts of Delta North and Central to disrupt proper voting as much as possible,” he said. “In this wise, PDP strongmen and their security attaches working with thugs recruited for this purpose were deployed to seize results sheets, cart away materials or disrupt voting generally and particularly in strongholds of APC. A few LGAs/voting points were spared to serve as points to showcase purported free and fair election, and even at that PDP resorted to vote buying in such voting points.” Describing how the plan worked, Emerhor said: “In allocating the votes to the parties, a deliberate attempt was made to put Labour at 2nd position in order to portray APC as weak or nonexistent in the state! PDP was given 79%, Labour Party 14% and APC 7%. This is to pull wool over the eyes of political analysts.” And taking a swipe at the Labour Party, the APC candidate said: “Very soon, the Labour party, in their naivety, even though already calling for a cancellation of the election, will begin to gloat over their higher votes over APC. The truth however, is that these figures are not votes and we in APC vehemently reject the votes allocation." After calling for the election to be canceled, both candidates took their case to the tribunal. SaharaReporters has learnt that Okowa is currently recruiting the services of some wealthy and influential Nigerians to help protect his electoral victory. http://saharareporters.com/2015/05/09/inec-card-reader-exposes-electoral-fraud-delta-governorship-election-conflicting-records |
Abuja, Nigeria, 06 May 2015: In what appears to be an unusual step to demonstrate his leadership style, the President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari, has instructed police and military security personnel attached to him to respect traffic regulations during his movements. In a statement released by his media team in Abuja, General Buhari said law abiding would be the guiding philosophy of his administration, adding “without leadership by example, the ordinary citizens would become copycats of the lawlessness of their leaders.” The President-elect explained that the “arrogance of power, lawlessness and disregard for the rights and convenience of fellow citizens would have no place in his government.” According to him, for leaders to inspire respect, they must obey the laws of country, adding that when leaders treat the country’s laws with contempt, they might send the wrong message to the citizens. General Buhari lamented a situation where fellow citizens are punished at traffic points and public roads because of the “arrogant lawlessness of the leaders.” He said in a democracy, leaders should not inflict inconveniences and other unbearable ordeals on the citizens for their own comfort. The President-elect advised his military and police security personnel to be in tune with his philosophy of “bringing the rule of law in the conduct of leaders during their movements on public roads.” Signed: Garba Shehu Directorate of Media & Publicity APC Presidential Campaign Abuja http://saharareporters.com/2015/05/06/buhari-orders-his-security-personnel-obey-traffic-rules |

A man has been convicted of raping a one- day-old baby and two other young children. Stuart Young, 37, was found guilty of two charges of rape and one of sexual assault at the High Court in Edinburgh on Thursday. The details about of his crimes revealed during the week-long trial were so horrific that the jurors have been exempted from serving on another jury for five years. His crimes took place between November 2008 and December 2013, in attacks which temporary judge Paul Arthurson QC called "truly depraved and despicable". He began raping the baby boy when he was just one day old, and continued his attacks until he was three months old. Young, from the Sighthill area of Edinburgh, also raped a girl over a period of years, beginning when she was six months old and continuing until she was five. In July 2013, Young sexually abused a nine-year old girl in the Stenhouse area of Edinburgh. Young pleaded not guilty to all the charges, and denied any wrongdoing. He swore as he left the dock after being convicted. His sentence was deferred by Judge Arthurson to allow the court to obtain reports about his character, with Judge Arthurson saying he should "expect a sentence to reflect your level of criminality." He will be sentenced at the High Court in Edinburgh on 28 May. Detective Inspector Douglas Moran, of Police Scotland, commended the bravery of two young girls who spoke out about their horrific abuse, bringing Young's crimes to the attention of police. He added that the victims and their families will receive specialist support to help them cope with their ordeal. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/man-convicted-of-raping-onedayold-baby-10218422.html |
truefact:If Igbos really want to get out if Nigeria then let them fulfil one condition. Let all Igbos return to the east. That's let everyone of them leave Nigeria and go back to their so called Biafra then we will take you serious. How can you be in our cities enjoying every monopoly and be talking rubbish. |
They should have banned the idiots for their role in trying to destroy Buhari during the campaigns. |
In 2014, 45% of the population across the 135 countries reviewed approved of the United States, roughly unchanged from the year before. Of major global powers, the United States received the highest median approval rating. While the current public opinion worldwide is relatively positive, especially when compared to the George W. Bush presidency, a majority of residents in 15 of 135 countries did not approve of the current U.S. leadership. Based on data from The U.S. Global Leadership Project, 82% of Russians did not approve of the job U.S. leadership was doing, the strongest disapproval rating of any other country. More than 81% of survey respondents in Senegal and Kosovo, on the other hand, approved of the United States, both tied for the highest ratings in the world.
