PoliticsFashola Lambasts FG On Improper Account Of Oil Money by Franchise21(op): 12:48pm On Jan 12, 2015
Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola speaking at the
commissioning of the 8.5km Amedokhian-Ugboha Road in
Benin City, Edo State has lambasted the Federal Government
for improper management of the country's oil revenue
account. Fashola said: “We have a national government that
is unable to account for money from crude oil that they did
not extract. Foreigners are the ones extracting it for them.
The price is fixed internationally, the quantity is known, just
to add up and tally. They say it is $20 billion that is missing,
some say $10 billion. Should one dollar be missing in any
responsible government? So, that is why corruption and
accountability remain an issue in the next election.
“If a government at the state level that collects one over 96
percent, because what the state gets is what the 36 states
and Abuja share, nine percent of the total revenue. And they
can do this kind of road and all the red roofs that I have seen,
imagine what will happen if you have a president and vice
president that cares.”
On his part, Governor Oshiomhole stressed the need for the
people to vote for All Progressives Congress, APC, at all
levels as the PDP has failed to provide the basic facilities
needed by the people.
He said: “I need you to connect with this election. There are
no miracles in development. It is about planning, it is about
commitment and honesty. It is about judicious application of
resources. PDP’s only resolve is to steal. After 16 years of
PDP, Nigerians have no water, no light, they are still using
generators. In the name of privatization they handed over
electricity in Edo to their friends. They are collecting money
from you without providing light.
“The elections are around the corner and we must elect the
House of Assembly that will support the appropriation of
funds to continue with any of the jobs that we will not be able
to do .That is why the coming election is very important,” he
added.

PoliticsBoko Haram Massacre: Baga Survivors Narrate Ordeal by Franchise21(op): 3:44pm On Jan 11, 2015
Survivors of the recent massacre by the Boko Haram in
Baga, Borno State, have been narrating their ordeal.
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how the insurgents stormed
Baga two days after the New Year, sacked soldiers of the
Multi-National Joint Task Force, MNTJF, from their base
stationed in the town, and killed hundreds of people with
residents running for their lives.
Some of the Baga survivors have arrived the Borno State
capital, Maiduguri, and are currently in a displaced
persons camp, which is a newly completed housing estate
built by the state government and named after Shettima
Ali Monguno, Nigeria’s former Minister of Mines and
Power.
While narrating his ordeal, Yahaya Takakumi, a 55-year-
old farmer who lived in Doro-Baga for over 25 years, said
he escaped with one of his wives when the insurgents
attacked.
“I and one of my wives, who was able to escape with me,
spent four days in the bush running for dear life and
safety,” the farmer said. “I thank God I have arrived here
safely but I still have not seen four of my children, my
second wife and my elder brother who is a blacksmith in
Baga.”
Mr. Takakumi said he fears for the life of his brother after
hearing of other attacks.
“Some people said they saw my brother near Daban-Shata
some days ago but everyone from that area said the Boko
Haram gunmen had carried out a massive massacre of
people in Daban-Shata and I fear for his life because only
God can say the number of persons that got killed in that
part of Baga district.
“We ran for days and we saw dead bodies especially on
the Islands of Lake Chad where fishermen had settled;
several persons were killed there like insects,” he said.
The survivor said the insurgents “would lay in ambush on
the water path and once a boat on canoe comes with
fleeing residents, they attack and shoot them all.
“The killings were not done in a day, but that of the first
day was massive, both soldiers and our local people were
killed; even after they had taking over Baga they kept on
attacking other neighbouring villages in the following
days.”
Another survivor, Ibrahim Gambo, told PREMIUM TIMES
that he was still searching for his wife and daughter at the
camp.
According to him, he was part of the vigilante, called
Civilian-JTF, in Baga that initially confronted the Boko
Haram gunmen before they were over powered.
“In Baga, almost every able-bodied male who is grown up
and matured is a member of the vigilante; and most of us
have charms that defy guns and bullet”, the 25-year-old
truck driver said.
“That was why when the fighting started we were able to
arrest many Boko Haram gunmen who we disarmed and
even killed some that tried to resist us violently.”
Mr. Gambo said it was the intervention of the soldiers that
made them withdraw their onslaught on the insurgents.
“We were actually making great inroad in dealing with the
insurgents when the soldiers of the Multi-National Joint
Task Force asked us to withdraw that an Air Force fighter
jet would soon come,” he said. “Shortly after that, the
Boko Haram stormed into Baga almost from all directions;
shooting, killing at will. We had no choice than to join
others to run.”
The survivor also narrated what he witnessed while
escaping.
“We came across many dead bodies, some in groups and
others by themselves in the bush; I saw dead children and
women – and even a pregnant woman with her stomach
slit open.
“We saw a large boat carrying over 25 persons and all of
them shot dead; those whose bodies defy guns or bullets,
would be tied up and dipped into the Lake water until
they die”.
While speaking on the death toll, Mr. Gambo said he could
not ascertain the casualty figure.
“All I know is that the death toll is well over 500 because I
have seen several groups of killed villagers and the least of
such group were five persons,” he said. “The number could
be more because it was not all that fled from Baga that
was able to make it to Maiduguri.”
Also speaking on the massacre, the District Head of Baga,
Baba Abba Hassan, said the casualty was much but not up
to 2000.
“Killing 2000 people is not a small number…2000 it is a
very large number,” he said from the displaced persons
camp.
“All I know as the District Head of Baga to whom most of
my people report, hundreds of our people have killed by
the Boko Haram and most of our communities on the
island of the Lake (Chad) have been attacked and
completely destroyed.
“But I cannot tell you the actual number of people killed
because many were pursued to the bushes and killed…I
can say hundreds have been killed so far. They include
women and children,” he said.
He added that the terrorists, who have since taken over
Baga and other nearby communities, were well prepared
when they came attacking.
”They came with dozens of vehicles and first attacked the
Multi-National Joint Task Force location,” he said. “There
was resistance initially, especially by the Civilian-JTF but
later, the insurgents had upper hand, especially when the
armed soldiers had to start fleeing when there was not
reinforcement.”
Mr. Hassan added that “hundreds of people are now taking
refuge in Maiduguri while the Borno State government had
been sending buses to the bushes to rescue the displaced
that were trying to get to the city by foot.”

PoliticsEkwueme Explodes: How PDP, Jonathan Humiliate Me by Franchise21(op): 12:39pm On Jan 11, 2015
A former Vice President of Nigeria, Alex Ekwueme, has
lamented that despite being a founding member, he has
been subjected to “humiliation and neglect” by current
leaders of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Mr. Ekwueme, who said this during an interview with the
Sun Newspapers , also asked President Goodluck Jonathan
to accord him his due recognition as a founding member of
the PDP and a former Vice President of Nigeria.
He decried the refusal of the Mr Jonathan to attend his
80th birthday celebration despite being invited; but said his
relationship with the president is cordial.
“It (his relationship with Mr. Jonathan) is cordial, but
maybe he doesn’t appreciate that without my risking my
life there would have been no PDP and the popularity that
made it possible for him to become the President of
Nigeria,” the octogenarian said.
“Okay, I know, for instance, my friend Braithwaite of NAP
had his birthday, the President went to Lagos to celebrate
with him but I had my 80th birthday and he did not
come.”
On whether the president was invited, Mr. Ekwueme said:
“the whole Nigeria was invited. Of course, he was invited
but he did not appear personally at any of the events, even
the ones in Abuja. So, it is a matter of style.”
He said the PDP of today is not the PDP he risked his life
to help to form adding that the party has been hijacked by
people who are not in tune with the original ideal of the
party.
“The truth is that the PDP as it is today was not the PDP
we founded in 1998; that is the truth, I won’t hide it from
anybody. It is not the PDP I risked my life to found in
1998. Now, PDP has been hijacked by people who have no
philosophical or spiritual attachment to the precepts that
informed formation of the party in 1998,” he said.
“What I envisaged for PDP in 1998 was that it would be a
mass movement, satisfying the needs of the masses and
having membership from all over the country.”
While stating that the injustice in the party has chased
prominent members of the party to seek their political
ambitions elsewhere, Mr. Ekwueme said outside his
emotional attachment as the founding member of the party
he has no business remaining in the party in its present
form.
“People who founded and worked for the party are
alienated by poor management of success, and those who
do not have the patience, some of us have decided to find
new channels to fulfil their political ambitions. I, for
instance, the chairman of the party, first chairman of
Board of Trustees, first chairman from the civil society to
G34 and so on, if I was not myself, I’m not bragging, I am
being modest, I have no reason to be in PDP today. All I
have received throughout the years is humiliation and
neglect.”
He said the party only does the bidding of those he
described as “noisemakers” adding the party has an
“unfortunate” habit of neglecting the gentlemen among its
members who desire to play by the rules.
“I told you that I have no business being in PDP today
because I am not a noisemaker. I am not created to be a
noisemaker or to create trouble, they are using it to deny
me whatever is due to me,” he said. “Because you are a
gentleman, you won’t disturb, rather the people who shout
and make noise, they try and accommodate themselves so
that they don’t create problems, I think it is an
unfortunate approach to life. But those who don’t make
noise and don’t create troubles also have feelings as
human beings and they should not have been denied what
is due to them.”
On Mr. Jonathan chances in the South East in the
forthcoming election, Mr. Ekwueme said that the president
is taking the support of the region for granted and this
may cost him votes as he has alienated some of his
supporters in the region.
He said he doubted if the president would be able to
garner block vote in the forthcoming election like he did in
2011, as he feared many of those who voted for the
president then might boycott the election.
“Now, we have election in less than two months, people
are disgruntled. At the last election, the state voted
overwhelmingly for President Jonathan, we had the highest
per cent of all the six geo-political zones for the President.
In less than two months when elections are held, many
people from South-East may not vote for Muhammadu
Buhari for reasons which I will not go into now, but it
does not necessarily mean they will vote for Jonathan
because of how things have evolved.
“Many will not vote at all. Not casting their votes at all is a
minus for the President, so he shouldn’t take the South-
East for granted that it will be the same 99 per cent votes
that will come from the South- East in 2015. It might not
be.”
He said the PDP is in disarray in the South East and for it
to make headway in the election it must make efforts to
reconcile all aggrieved members.
“Well, because the leadership of the PDP in every state in
the South-East does not have coherency, well organised
PDP structure today. Ebonyi is in disarray, Enugu is
abdicated, Abia, Anambra have about six different factions,
Imo is not serious at that, so it requires hard work for PDP
to bring together the South-East to how it was eight years
ago. My worry is that many of them in the leadership of
PDP don’t even realise that there is this danger, they think
it is business as usual, so they take South-East for granted
that they will vote that same way they voted, 90 per cent of
vote to President Jonathan, it may not happen.”

Politics#Nigeria2015: Jonathan Wants Buhari Disqualified by Franchise21(op): 12:27pm On Jan 11, 2015
President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign team has asked
for the disqualification of the presidential candidate of the
All Progressives Congress, APC, Muhammadu Buhari, from
next month’s election.
In an address by its spokesperson, Femi Fani-Kayode, the
campaign team also accused the Independent National
Electoral Commission, INEC, of deliberately allowing Mr.
Buhari to contest the February 14 election even after he
has ‘failed’ to meet the basic educational qualification
required to run.
Mr. Fani-Kayode, who addressed a press conference on
Saturday in Abuja, said the inability of Mr. Buhari to
present the minimum requirement of a school leaving
certificate questions his morals and other credentials for
pursuing the position of the president of Nigeria.
Mr. Buhari’s academic qualification generated controversy
recently after it emerged he submitted a sworn affidavit at
a Federal High Court, FCT, High Court Abuja to the effect
that all his academic qualifications were with the Secretary
of the Military Board.
His party, the APC, through its spokesperson, Lai
Mohammed, said Mr. Buhari lost original copies of his
credentials when his house was raided while he was in
detention; and that he had been using court affidavits since
then.
“General Muhammadu Buhari was in detention for over
three years; while in detention, captors raided his residence
and vandalised his property including certificates and
diplomas; and that consequently, after his release,
whenever the General is asked about his academic
qualifications, he would refer such bodies to the Military
Command, who has his service records including his
academic certificates,” Mr. Mohammed said in a chat with
Leadership Newspaper last weekend.
He also said Mr. Buhari had taken the same procedure for
the 2003, 2007 and 2011 elections in which he was a
candidate.
Mr. Jonathan’s campaign team, however, said it is not
satisfied.
“Academic qualification is a threshold issue that cannot be
waived for any citizen no matter how highly-placed and
irrespective of whichever region such individual comes
from except as provided by the constitution,” Mr. Fani-
Kayode said.
The former minister cited Section 131 of the Nigerian
constitution which states that: “A person shall be qualified
for election to the office of President if: (a) He is a citizen
of Nigeria by birth (b) He has attained the age of forty
years(c) He is a member of a political party and is
sponsored by that political party; and (d) He has been
educated up to at least School certificate level or its
equivalent.”
Mr. Fani-Kayode said section 131 (d) is a specific
directional order for all candidates to show proof of
education up to a minimum standard not below school
certificate or its equivalent.
“But from what INEC has published, Buhari has not
submitted any personal particular of minimum school
leaving certificate for the 2015 election and, shockingly,
from INEC documents displayed in all constituencies, he
also did not submit anything in 2011 and never referred
the electoral umpire then to the Secretary of the Military
Board as well as previous elections he contested as
evidenced in all available INEC records until this current
discovery.
“If the constitution did not require proof, it would not
specify a minimum,” he said.
Electoral Act
The former Minister of Aviation added that the current
Electoral Act directs that proof of educational qualification
must be sworn to by each candidate at a Court under
Section 31 (ii) to (v).
He noted that for elections to the office of the president
and for the purpose of display of particulars of candidates
for all presidential elections, the entire country is taken as
one constituency.
“Nigerians that have perused the affidavit of nomination
as submitted by General Buhari and as published in all
INEC offices, as well as the copies of his similar INEC
documentations for 2011 election, could see clearly that
General Buhari who claims to be a man of integrity has
not been true to Nigerians.
“It can be seen, as indicated in section 31(6), that there are
reasonable grounds to believe that a false deponent was
declared in the affidavit where it indicates that all
documents relating to the personal particulars of General
Buhari are with the Secretary of the Military Board,” he
said.
He said in the form he filled for the 2015 election, Mr.
Buhari referred INEC to the Military Board for copies of his
educational qualification, even after Section C of the form
states that candidates should “attach evidence of all
educational qualifications.”
He also said it was curious that Mr. Buhari did not refer
INEC to the military board in 2011.
Mr. Fani-Kayode said the military board like any other
body does not keep or retain original copies of personal
particulars of individuals such as birth certificates,
passports, and academic credentials of any personnel,
especially retired personnel after over 3 decades.
“It must be stated that INEC erred in law by publishing the
name of a candidate without receiving the personal
particulars of the candidate within 7 days of receiving his
nomination forms as indicated in section 31(3),” he said.
“This is indeed a tragedy illustrating what Nigeria has
become, that an individual is so powerful that the law has
to be ignored to accommodate him.
“Certainly, INEC printed nomination forms or High Court
affidavits are, in no way or by any stretch of definitions,
the same as personal particulars such as school leaving
certificate.”
The former aviation minister said the Jonathan campaign is
convinced that Mr. Buhari “is not qualified to contest the
2015 presidential election.”

PoliticsChris Ngige Paid Reverend Father Mbaka N850million To Join Apc Campaign Team by Franchise21(op): 12:19pm On Jan 11, 2015
It has been exposed that the APC through Chris
Ngige secretly paid a controversial clergyman
called Rev EJike Mbaka a whopping eight hundred
and fifty million Naira, to attack Nigerian President
Jonathan, as part of their strategic dirty campaign
of lies, deceits, fabrication, distortion, intimidation
and blackmail.
The money was arranged by River state Governor,
Rotimi Amaechi. It is not a secret that Amaechi
hates President Jonathan. So When the idea of
bribing the dodgy priest was brought up by El-rufai
and Buhari, Amaechi quickly volunteered to make
the fund available.
This is not the first time the controversial priest
has patronized APC. During the Anambra state
governorship election in November, 2013, 28
Worshippers died in a stampede caused by APC and
its supporters.
Chris Ngige was heavily implicated on that tragedy.
He tried in vain to blame it on Peter Obi who was
then the governor of Anambra state.
But despite all the attempt to smear peter obi, it
failed.
We have in our possession documented implicating
APC and Chris Ngige to that tragedy and the current
bribing of the despicable Rev Mbaka.
