Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, yesterday swore in the first female Attorney General (AG) since the creation of the state in 1976.

She is Barrister Mrs Abimbola Ibironke Akeredolu.

The Governor also swore in Barrister Mrs Patricia Funmilola Oduniyi as Solicitor General and Permanent Secretary.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony attended by the Chief Judge of Ogun State, Justice Mrs Olatokunbo Olopade and immediate past Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Wemimo Ogunde (SAN), at the Governor’s Office in Abeokuta, Amosun recalled that this was the first time the entire top echelons of the justice system in the state would be manned by women.

He told the two women to see their inauguration on “the day the world is celebrating International Women’s Day” as a call to service.

”We must ensure that the confidence reposed in us by the electorate is not misplaced,” he said.

The state helmsman praised the immediate past AG, noting that “he worked diligently well.”

The Oath of Allegiance, Oath of Office and Oath of Secrecy were administered on the new officials by 9.15am.

The new Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mrs Abimbola Akeredolu, was born in 1964 and secured degrees and certificates at the University of Lagos as well as institutions in France and Italy.

Her appointment brings the number of women in the Cabinet of Ogun State to 12, thus making the state the most gender-friendly in the country.

Mrs Patricia Funmilola Oduniyi graduated from the University of Ife (now Obafemi Awolowo University) in 1983 and was until now the Director of Public Prosecutions in the Ministry of Justice.

He stated further that when Moses told him that the owner of a land adjacent to the church consented to sell the land to the church, he believed him and released sum of N3.1 Million to procure the land on behalf of the church.

Pastor Lemikan could not believe the sudden disappearance of “ brother Moses Inobeme” as he was fondly called and addressed by members of the church.

The police, on receiving the report swung into action immediately.

Just when you thought the drama is over more stories keeps developing and even goes deeper Now a woman named Ifeoma Harvey(pictured),
has come out to say that Goldie Harvey stole
her husband(Andrew Harvey)! Ifeoma has taken to Facebook to say her
part of the story where she claims that she
and Goldie were best friends a while back.
According to Ifeoma, Goldie waited for the
opportune moment to elope with Andrew
Harvey in Nigeria, while he was still married to Ifeoma. “She never knew that one day death
would come calling,” says Ifeoma, “She
rendered that man useless, took all his money
and right now Andrew Harvey is lying in the
hospital in Malaysia.” This part of the story seems to check out with
Andrew Harvey’s claim that he is currently in
Malaysia. Ifeoma went on: “Goldie went to Malaysia to visit the sick man
before going to USA (for the Grammys) and
came back to meet her mysterious death.
Goldie is a liar, pretender and desperado. She
wants to get money and fame at all cost…
forced her trashy music down our throat, went to BBA and messed up with Prezzo…
married woman indeed! Why is Andrew posting
their so-called marriage pics now? Maybe the
charm she used has cleared from his eyes! He
should shut the hell up and pray for quick
recovery from his sick bed in Malaysia. After that he can go back to London and beg his
wife and two kids for forgiveness!”

The Action Congress of Nigeria
(ACN) has said the PDP is exposing
its own folly by blaming the
glaring marginalisation.
of the Yoruba by the Jonathan
Administration on the ACN, saying the PDP has nothing but total
contempt for theYoruba in
particular and Nigerians in
general. Reacting to the allegation by Dr
Doyin Okupe that the ”Yoruba
people in the ACN conspired
against the Yoruba” to scuttle
the election of a Yoruba as
House Speaker, the party’s National Publicity Secretary,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said in a
statement issued in Lagos on
Sunday that ACN is not bound by
the shifty and phoney zoning
formula of the PDP. ”If the PDP had indeed wanted a
Yoruba as Speaker, the party
should either have won enough
seats in the South-west or used
its majority in the House to push
through its anointed candidate. Failure to ensure the election of
its candidate is a reflection of
the insincerity of the PDP about
the zoning of the post to Yoruba
and the gross indiscipline in the
party of tattered umbrella. ”In any case, the last option open
to the PDP would have been to
support any other Yoruba for
the post across party lines. We the ACN have very capable
members in the House to serve as
Speaker. But the truth is that the
ruling party wants a PDP member,
not a Yoruba, for the post. ”Therefore we are not surprised
that the PDP easily acquiesced to
the defeat of its Yoruba
candidate for the post of
Speaker of the House. The PDP
zoning formula is pivoted on convenience rather than
principle, After all, the zoning
was easily
jettisoned to pave the way for
Jonathan to contest as
President,” it said. ACN said even if the PDP had not
succeeded in giving the post of
House Speaker to Yoruba in
accordance with its so-called
zoning formula, it could have
rewarded them with known choice ministries or other top
appointments, instead of totally
relegating
a whole people into irrelevance
in its scheme of things. The party slammed the PDP for
playing the ethnic card, and
rejected the cheeky and devilish
move by the PDP to pigeon-hole
the ACN into an ethnic cocoon. ”We are a national party and our
spread attests to it. We have
shown by supporting the
election of Aminu Tambwal as
Speaker
of the House that our agenda is not sectional but national, and
we have no apologies to offer
for that ”Let the PDP continue to wallow
in insufferable arrogance and
disdain for the electorate, by
sharing posts before elections
are
concluded. It is like sharing the parts of an animal that has yet
to be killed. This is the stuff of
which the PDP is made, and that is
why it is crumbling now like a
pack of cards,” it said.

2 Chainz was arrested on Valentine’s Day on
his way to a show, and what seems as the true
reason behind his arrest may be the most
ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard police do in
the United States. The rapper was briefly locked up on his way
to a show at the University of Maryland
Eastern Shore (UMES). He was pulled over with
his entourage, but he was the only one
arrested. His offence? Someone in his camp
had a weed grinder in their possession. A furious 2 Chainz tweeted; “UMES we on the
way, dam police f*ckn wit a n*gga, we fina
turnUP…Locked me up and then Wanted
pictures smh…We to jail for a grinder
REALLY Show must go on much love UMES…I
work hard and pray even harder, we gone always b good yall… Not to mention my
security said it was his and they daid, he don’t
smoke,, how da fuk u know? Haha wut a
Valentine’s Day!!!” Apparently 2 Chainz was arrested for a shot
with the officers – after all he was only found
with a grinder. Nice way to ask for a shot
with a celebrity.

Former Secretary General of
Ohaneze Ndigbo, Prof. Ben
Nwabueze, SAN, yesterday, raised
an alarm over the poor state of
affairs in the country, saying
“Nigeria is fast turning into a failed state.” Nwabueze, who spoke at the
14th annual convention of the
Igbo Youth Movement, IYM, in
Enugu, said the country was
already displaying all the
attributes of a failed state. According to him, “This country is
on the verge of becoming a
failed state, there are so many
failed states in Africa and
Nigeria is on the verge of getting
that status of a failed state. ”Before now, we didn’t know
about kidnapping, but it has
become a way of life. Did we
know about bombings before?
But today, churches, schools,
offices are being bombed on daily basis, the worst is that the
bombers are not coming from
outside the country, we are
bombing ourselves.
”A nation that cannot provide a
credible election for her people
is a failed state; in 2003, 2011 we
had no credible elections, yet we
are talking about democracy. ”A country that cannot secure
social and economic rights for
her people is a failed state. Read
chapter 2 of Nigeria’s
constitution and you will
understand what I am taking about, they are not leaders but
looters”.

The Federal Government will make the present
set of Super Eagles players the first inductees
into the National Sports Hall of Fame.
Sports Minister and Chairman of the National
Sports Commission, Mallam Bolaji Abdulahi,
disclosed this on Thursday night while addressing players and officials of the team.
The Hall of Fame was recently approved by
President Goodluck Jonathan. The Minister, who spoke to the team at their
Garden Court Hotel abode in Milpark, South
Africa, also said that the government has
mapped out a heroic welcome for the team
next Monday. He was accompanied to the
event by the National Football Federation (NFF) President, Aminu Maigari and other
important figures in Nigeria sports
administration. He described the pride of the government at
the exploits of the team so far at the African
Cup of Nations and urged them to complete
the job by winning the trophy. “Victory is not everything but victory is the
only thing”, he declared, echoing American
football coach Vince Lombardi as he
challenged them to go all out for victory in
the final against the Stallions of Burkina Faso
in Soweto on Sunday. Maigari, on his part, thanked the government
at the highest levels for the huge support the
team has been receiving so far, saying that all
obligations to the team has been met, thanks
to express approval by the government at all
spheres. The NFF President revealed that he has
already received words from President
Jonathan of another tele-conference with
the team before the final, as the last one had
highly motivated the players and the
President feels they need his tonic to excel in Sunday’s grand finale. Head Coach Stephen Keshi, spoke in a similar
vein, noting that the team has come too far in
the competition to let its guard down. Skipper Joseph Yobo thanked the Minister for
being there for his team, and assured that the
team has resolved to unite and conquer the
Nations Cup trophy for Nigeria. “We will not let Mr. President who has been so
supportive down and we cannot let our
families and the people of Nigeria down,” he
said. “We are certain that the trophy will be
won fair and square on Sunday.” speaking today, midfield star, John Mikel Obi,
declared that the strength of the Nigerian
team is the togetherness and unity that have
been missing in the squad in the past. “We are together, united and playing for each
other and that has accounted for where we
are today. All credit must go to the coach who
took a gamble on a very young squad,
because I’m just 25 years old but am looking
like the oldest in the team. This team will not only win the trophy on Sunday for the
Nigerian people but will win many more
trophies for a long time to come”.

KANO – Police officers, Friday

It's a welcome developmet.

Alleging that President Goodluck
Jonathan has not represented the
South South region well, a group of
eminent persons from the zone has
chosen to join forces with the North
to stop the rumoured re-election bid of the president. Towards this end,
the South-South leaders, led by a
former military administrator of
Lagos State, General Patrick Newton
Aziza, under the aegis of Urhobo
Progressive Union (UPU), last week held a closed-door meeting with the
leadership of pro-North group,
Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) in
Kaduna. Details of what transpired during the
closed-door discussion were,
however, kept secret as journalists
were only told that the meeting was
“to re-ignite that longstanding
relationship, keep it warm and energise it in our national political
journey.” Saturday Sun can
exclusively reveal that beyond what
was made public, the South-South
leaders were at the meeting to
negotiate the future of their ethnic group after complaining bitterly
about their disappointment with the
administration of President Jonathan
who incidentally is from the same
region. One of the leaders, who joined
General Aziza at the meeting,
disclosed: “Without mincing words, we
are not pleased with the Jonathan
administration because we have since
discovered that the president has given virtually everything due to the
South-South to only his Ijaw people,
leaving out the interest of other
ethnic groups in the region
unprotected.” When challenged to
justify the basis of their angst against the Jonathan administration,
the source said: “In this
administration, the Urhobos do not
have the smallest of political
appointments, not even a special
assistant. So, the government does not favour us in any way and that is
not healthy. This informed our decision to seek
cooperation with the North and
other parts of the country, which can
protect our interest in the next
dispensation, that is in 2015. We can’t
support someone who has failed and neglected us again. We need to take
the destiny of our people in our hands
and protect it.” A former governor of
Edo State, Chief John Oyegun, who is
the Chairman of the South-South
Peoples Assembly (SSPA) led by President Jonathan’s kinsman and
confidant, Chief Edwin Clark, however,
described the UPU move as narrow-
minded. He said though the Aziza
group is a formidable team, it cannot,
however, decide for the entire region. He also denied that the development
was an indication of a crack in the
political aspiration of the region.
According to him: “I don’t think the
visit of General Aziza and other
leaders of UPU to ACF in Kaduna suggests a crack in the leadership of
the South South. Everything boils
down to the subject of their
discussion. It could be on security,
unity and others. Different groups
can hold their meetings depending on their interest. But when the issue
borders on the interest of the
different geo-political zones, that is
a totally different matter. Their visit does not portend any
threat at all. Don’t forget that UPU
has been there for a very long time
though it is a very small unit and it
covers only Urhobos. Urhobos are just
a part of Delta, a majority part though. “Such groups will be doing
their thing now, but when the time
comes and we decide on the interest
of our people, we will expect
everybody to fall in line. When we get
to that point, we will hold discussions with everybody and UPU will surely be
part of that discussion. The issue of where the next president
comes from is still too early. We have
the presidency now and if our man is
not going to contest, then the issue
of who to support will then arise. But
now, nothing like that yet. By then, we will decide where our interest lies
given the alternatives that are on
offer. “So, now is the time for a lot of
movement, motions, body language
but all that don’t affect the position
of the South South because UPU does not represent the interest of the
South-South; eventhough they are a
very important group. We have
immense respect for them, they are
very well organised but they are not
South-South.” All efforts to get General Aziza’s
reaction, however, failed, as calls to
his telephone line were neither picked
nor text messages to the same
replied. Answering questions after
the closed-door meeting that lasted for two hours, Aziza had said: “We
came to see our brothers; we had
good deliberations over what is
happening in Nigeria. The Arewas and
Urhobos are not strange bedfellows.
We share a long political history from the days of struggle for political
independence from the British to the
days of the First Republic and the
post-military politics. We don’t want
to bore you with the details of such
political affinity and the historicisms, suffice to say, however, that such
political affinity was based on mutual
respect and equity. “We seek to re-ignite that
longstanding relationship, keep it
warm and energise it in our national
political journey. ACF, in our mind,
share many other similarities with the
UPU. Just like the UPU, the ACF is a major platform of convergence of
the Arewa people and the veritable
positive force for engagement of her
people. It also provides an avenue for
the ventilation of the views and idea
of the Arewa people on critical national issues. It is this similarity of
purpose and mission statement in our
mind that has convoked this august
gathering.” On his part, ACF spokesman, Anthony
Sani, said that the problem of the
country has been suspicion among
ethnic groups, adding: “But it is a
good thing that the Urhobos have
come around.” He said, the coming of the Urhobos to the North would
eliminate the suspicion, more so that
the ACF itself has begun nationwide
tour of ethnic groups for peaceful
co-existence.

Any gang war or organised crime
targeted at health workers,
hospital patients, orphans, students,
pupils and defenseless citizens is a
cowardly act. It should be
condemned by all and sundary. If the terrorists have any presentable
reservation against the Polio
project they should say it; but if
bkos they are in a hurry to commit
suicide, and wish that the lives of
younger genrations epitomised by babies who deserve preventable
health vacines against deadly
diseases should be forsaken; then
they terrorists do not deserve fresh
air or peace for their ungodly
resoves.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday condemned the killing of nine female health workers shot dead at community health centres during seperate attacks in Kano State.

Reacting to the killings, President Goodluck Jonathan ordered security agencies to provide maximum security to health workers who are engaged in administering polio vaccines to children in high risk areas.

Jonathan condemned “the dastardly terrorist attacks in Kano State which claimed the lives of health workers who were dutifully engaged in vaccinations to protect and save the lives of Nigerian children.”

The female health workers were Friday morning shot dead at community health centres during seperate attacks in Kano State.

Eyewitness told Vanguard that that the first offensive on the polio workers which started at Filin Kashu, Ungwa-Uku General area left two dead and four others critically injured.

The sources said that the gunmen who moved about on tricycles arrived at the community health centre by 9.00am and opened fire on the defenseless paramedics before escaping in the ensuing pandemonium

Seven other female health workers were also killed at the Community Health Centre, Hotoro Haye.

It was gathered that the assailants also went to the health centre on a tricycle and sprayed the female workers with bullets while on duty.

Commenting on the development, the Kano Commissioner of Health, Dr Abubakar Yusuf explained that “six were shot at Ungwa-Uku but two died while 4 survived”.

The state Police Public Relation Officer, PPRO, Kano Police Command, ASP, Magaji Majia confirmed that “nine female health workers were shot dead in separate attacks.”

Majia further stated that the “the dead bodies of the nine female health workers have been deposited at the Murtala Muhammad Hospital mortuary in the city,” adding however that “no arrests have been made in connection with the killings, but investigations have commenced.

On Wednesday, the battle for the soul of Nigeria intensified when a coalition of four opposition political parties in Abuja, announced the name of their new party, All Progressive Congress. The parties that merged to form the APC are the Action Congress of Nigeria, All Nigeria Peoples Party, All Progressive Grand Alliance and Congress for Progressive Change.

Reacting to the unveiling of the new name, the National Chairman of the PDP, Dr. Bamanga Tukur, said that his party was not losing sleep over the development as the merger of the opposition did not pose any threat to the PDP.

Tukur, in what seemed like a boast of the strength and spread of the PDP said there was no polling unit in the country where his party was not represented, submitting that the “weak political parties” were coming together because they realised that individually, they did not have the strength to go into war with the PDP.

He described the ruling party as the Messi of Nigerian politics.

Messi, an Argentine striker with Barcelona of Spain, is the current holder of the Ballon d’Or title and is reputed to be a master of the game.

Tukur said, “It does not mean that we want to be a party without opposition, in fact opposition is a charge to action.

“People tend to believe that when they see people coming together they will do well. If they have the strength why do they come together?

“If you go for a contest you have the striker, you know Lionel Messi? PDP is Messi in that contest. They (opposition) are not a threat at all; it is better, it will inspire the PDP to action. In that contest (merger) tell them Chairman said PDP is the Messi.”

Following the challenge thrown by the Senior
Special Assistant to the President on Public
Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe on Monday that the
opposition parties should produce evidence
of the alleged incompetence of the
administration of President Goodluck Jonathan or forever maintain silence, the Save
Nigeria Group (SNG), the group that
championed the enthronement of Dr. Jonathan
as acting president in the wake of the
political brouhaha that greeted the ill-health
of late President Umaru Yar‘Adua in its reaction said: “The non-performance of the
president is written all over the landscape of
Nigeria.” In its reaction articulated by its
spokesperson, Mr Yinka Odumakin the group
mockingly remarked thus: “We can see it in the
way the Boko Haram militants have been dealt
with, that today everybody feels safe and
secure. We have seen how kidnappers have been chased into their holes and we can see
how all our roads and infrastructure have
been fixed. We have seen how we have
uninterrupted power supply in the country
today.” While faulting the presidency over the
yardsticks used in measuring the president’s
acclaimed performance, Odumakin said: “So,
these are the measurements of the president’s
performance which Dr Okupe is celebrating;
and through his performance, Nigeria is now an eldorado where all our embassies
throughout the world are being flooded with
foreigners who want to come to Nigeria to
see the good things happening in Nigeria? The
performance we are talking about is only
visible to the Okupes, the Abatis and Makus who surround the president but to the people
of Nigeria, they are yet to see that
competence which they are celebrating” he
stressed.
