Interesting days ahead...


The marriage of different fellow...

With the All Progressives Congress (APC) crisis over the appointment of principal officers of the National Assembly still lingering, it is fast becoming clear that Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, are bitter pills the ruling party must swallow willy-nilly.

But as it was in the days of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), when its governors wielded an enormous influence on the party, and dictated their wishes, the APC seems to be following a similar pattern, if the stance of its governors is anything to go by.

The party’s governors, on Tuesday, reportedly accused the APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, of taking “bribe” from Saraki.

Another alleged sin of Odigie-Oyegun was that while other party leaders were still engaging the camps of the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, he, Oyegun, openly endorsed their emergence as National Assembly leaders.

Saraki, Dogara and their loyalists have since the inauguration of the National Assembly two weeks ago defied the ruling party’ directives on the selection of leadership of the legislature, a development that is causing crisis in the party.

Worried by this development, the APC governors, led by their chairman, Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, met Buhari to resolve the crisis Tuesday night.

It was learnt that the governors at the meeting insisted on the need for discipline and unity within the APC by ensuring that the lawmakers toe party lines.

The governors’ meeting with the President, behind closed doors in the new Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, started at about 11p.m. and ended in the early hours of Wednesday.

They have also scheduled a meeting with the lawmakers to inform them of the decision to stick with party directives on the allocation of the remaining principal offices in the National Assembly.

Emerging from the meeting with the President, Okorocha told journalists: “We are worried by what is happening at the National Assembly and we felt we should rub minds with Mr. President. We are worried by the pockets of disagreements going on at the National Assembly and we have resolved that we are from a party and our party’s views should be respected.

“So, we feel that there is need for us to invite our senators and look more into the matter and see how we can all make peace. We believe this is our party which we all come from and everyone should respect the party and for that reason we have decided that we are going to invite our senators and rub minds with them.”

“We are saying that there shouldn’t be a winner-takes-it-all; that we should carry everybody along, and accommodate others as suggested by the party.”

Edo State Governor, Adams Oshiomhole, also stressed the resolution of the governors to drum up the imperative of the legislators to respect party supremacy.

His words: “Basically, what we are saying is that the senators should adopt the position of the party.”

“We were all elected on the platform of the party; we are not just a collection of individuals but a political party and when the party has spoken we must listen. Otherwise, if it was a game of individuals like golf then individuals can go their way. I think it is very clear at this point that the party has the responsibility to keep the system going.”

“So, we as progressive governors have listened to the President and we have discussed extensively and we are clear that the party’s position should be supported by the senators. This is the way it should be and we should start on a note of working closely.”

“We as governors listen to the party, and we expect our senators to also listen to the party. We are going to call them and tell them this is it; and explain our reasons. We can’t continue to allow this. It is about party supremacy.”

Though the President’s response to the APC governors was not immediately available, it is speculated that he is not particularly impressed that somebody would want to force his will on the party. He is also said not to see any reason why Odigie-Oyegun should be crucified for the crisis in the National Assembly.

A reliable source quoted the President as saying that the party should face the problem as it were: “A case of some members of the party in the National Assembly rebelling against the party’s decision. That, certainly, is not Oyegun’s making.”

That, according to sources, informed the decision of the governors to seek a parley with the APC senators and members of the House of Representatives on the need to respect and abide by the party’s decisions.

Governors absent at the parley were those of Lagos, Zamfara, Ogun, Sokoto, Yobe and Bauchi.

Aware of the fact that the PDP legislators strongly support Saraki and Dogara, added to the fact that the duo also have a handful of APC lawmakers behind them, the ruling party and its governors may have no option than to respect the reality that Senate President and Speaker of the House are firmly in control of the National Assembly; and toe the line of Odigie-Oyegun and accept the new NASS leadership.

Truckpusher:
Impeach that broom waving rascal.

I expect him to have resigned honorably, but this is Nigeria.


How can Osun people still allow this failure called Raufu to continue to lead them, this could be Africa Magic.

Raufu Aregbesola accumulated debts beyond the capacity of the state internally generated revenue... ?

SPEAKER of the Osun State House of Assembly, Honourable Najeem Salaam, on Wednesday, confirmed the receipt of a copy of the petition written by a serving female judge in the state, Justice Folahanmi Oloyede against Governor Rauf Aregbesola, over non-payment of salaries.

Similarly, Nigerian Tribune reliably gathered that the assembly had forwarded a letter of acknowledgment to Justice Oloyede, indicating that her petition had been received, while also sending a copy of the petition to the governor for his defence.

Speaking during interaction with journalists in Osogbo, on Wednesday, the speaker said “I can confirm that the assembly received the petition. But, there is an ongoing strike now, therefore, we cannot do anything serious on it.”

According to Salaam, “a copy of the petition had been sent to Governor Aregbesola for him to state his own defence.”

Credible source within the legislature also informed the Nigerian Tribune that the assembly had written another letter to Aregbesola, requesting him to react to the content of the petition.

Speaking on the development, the clerk of the assembly, Mr Mudashiru Oyeniran, confirmed the receipt of the petition, stressing that work would begin on it at the appropriate time.

Justice Oloyede had called on the state House of Assembly to investigate the alleged mismanagement of the state financial resources by the governor and his deputy, in accordance with sections 128 and 129 of the 1999 Constitution, saying there was no moral justification for their continued stay in office.

In a 30-page petition, she urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime, Amnesty International, Transparency International, among others, to investigate any other person found to be responsible for what he described as “deliberate mismanagement of the economy of Osun State.”

The petition read in part: “I declare that in addition to the media-hype of Osun’s parlous financial condition, I have firsthand experience which constitutes evidence of the unfortunate situation in which Osun currently finds itself. Even Mr Governor has admitted publicly the fact that Osun is in financial quagmire and that he is clueless on how to pull it out of the doldrums.

“Mr Governor’s argument that salaries can only be paid from statutory allocations is also faulty, we demand that he substantiate his claim by giving the section of the law that so provides. In any event, all funds, all allocations and all expenditures are expected to be backed by legislation, and are statutory, otherwise, they are illegal.

“Consequently, the admitted inability of Mr Governor and his deputy to pay pensions, salaries and allowances for periods ranging from eight to 11 months now, [size=15pt]as a consequence of their own decision to accumulate debts beyond the capacity of the state internally generated revenue, whilst the very ‘actors’ Mr Governor and his deputy continue to enjoy their security allowances in hundreds of millions, is a violation of their oaths of office.”

Fashola is the biggest propaganda fraud of the last 8yrs.

Now lets leave Propaganda aside..... I need someone to outline 3 key things fashola did that points to ingenuity

Lagos state has the highest IGR in the country yet resposnible for over 40% of total national local debts

For a state that generates over 40 billion naira monthly from IGR and allocations, Where are the capital intensive projects embarked upon by Fashola's admininstration?

Lagos state is already a commercial hub before Fashola became governor.... how did Fashola improve the commercial attractivesness of lagos?...What policies aimed at attracting investors was put in place by Fashola?

What jobs were created by Fashola's govt (dont mention Lastma) and how did his govt support the middle class or SMEs?

Fashola fixed few roads in Ikoyi, VI, Ikeja and planted flowers, so did Sullivan Chime of Enugu, Akpabio of Akwaibom, Kwankwaso of Kano, Peter Obi of Anambra.... etc; what makes him stand out?

Increasing tax rates and imposing levies on okada riders, shop owners etc is no ingenuity for raising IGR.... What exactly did he do?

Does deporting Nigerians in Nigeria and dumping them under a bridge in the wee hours of the morning sound like an act of a sound mind?

As a matter of fact, people like Fashola should not be allowed anywhere close to this current govt. Fashola's understanding of governance only support the elites which is averse to the touted Buhari's govt for the masses.

Fixing an existing road and tolling it is the height of insensitivity..... and the first in Nigeria by a state government. Imagine if every state government follows the Fashola template by tolling roads built using tax payer's money or allocation accruing to a state.... we would have about 25 tolls in akwa-ibom, 20 in enugu, 23 in anambra....etc.

Fashola and Amaechi led the governors to demand and share the Soverign wealth fund which led to crash of our economy

Fashola filed a suit against signing the Freedom of Information Bill in Lagos state

Unfortunately, we Nigerians hardly reason beyond our noses... and that is why propaganda sells

Fashola looked like a performer because he took over from a a failed Tinubu under whom Lagos collapsed. The immense fraud under his govt must be probed.

This is the pure truth and nothing more.

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away. - Elvis Presley

Coming

Okay oo

I dey come

You see...

bobbiekrantz:
yeah that is true


buh we all saw how the gay of a first lady(Amaechi) conducted the polls

There was nothing to show that the elections held

Wike is just doing the needful


those toothless judges were on hibernation when the lame elections were conducted huh?


why didn't they restrain the buffoon from conducting the polls in such a manner

The National Industrial Court of Nigeria presided over by Hon. Justice J.T. Agbadu-Fishim, holden at Yenagoa, Bayelsa State

Meaning the court is not sitting in Rivers but in Bayelsa. However, this is just an Order of Interim Injunction. it can be set aside after trial.

"An interim injunction is often sought where the other party, if unrestrained, might cause irreparable or immeasurable damage by continuing the conduct which has led to the dispute".

Interim injunctions may become permanent if the claimant is successful at trial.

Hence, Wike and his team should be ready with bundle of evidences.

bobbiekrantz:
wike should just chill

we are in control of the state already.....Those hungry judges don't have anything to offer

with time they will soon find out that we've come to stay

No! The law of the land made several provisions to get justice if aggrieved.

"We believe that, despite the presence of a few bad eggs, the judiciary remains the last hope of the oppressed".

Wike, please follow the rule of law.


Let justice prevail.

Why now

Cleverly, what is happening?

There was a mild drama when a large number of women yesterday besieged a bank in Funtua, Katsina State to demand payment of N5,000 social security for the poor and unemployed Nigerians that was promised by the All Progressives Party (APC).


“We are not holding any registration regarding the N5,000 social security as they claimed and [size=15pt] I think they mistook the BVN forms we are distributing to our customers as forms for the money[/size]. There is no basis for their claims; the women are only working on rumours,” the branch manager said.

 

Daily Trust saw the bank officials and policemen trying to persuade the teaming women to leave the bank premises and stop obstructing banking activities.

 

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had in the last two weeks at the 10th year anniversary lecture of Crescent University Abeokuta hinted that there were ongoing plans to implement one of their campaign promises of paying N5,000 each to the poorest Nigerians across the
