Not only you will lose the presidency but any northern gov that supported you will also lose his seat.

You guys are quick to shout Islamization and you are viewing your opinion based on christianization.

Any unchained mad dog that support this evil should not cry when Fulani come for them. To show how illiterate they are, they decided attack innocent cattle wasting meat worth of millions. How can human engage in a battle with animals?

3- That it is commendable that the Speaker tactically refused to make any comment at the session even after the Senate President took time to explain the issues which are mostly personal


7- That every Senator or Member of House who has corruption or criminal allegation against him or her should clear his or her name without dragging the entire institution of the National Assembly into the matter

9- That the PDP should recall how it members in the 7th Assembly sat comfortably in the chamber and watched a sitting Speaker, Tambuwal locked out of the National Assembly and all his security personnels withdrawn while APC members had to scale the fence to gain entrance into NASS.

10- That we must exercise caution at this delicate period not to over heat the polity with statements that are capable of dividing the country, embarrassing us before the watching world and creating friction between the legislature, Executive and specifically Mr President.

11- We wish to reaffirm our support to Mr President as he works assiduously towards dealing with the challenges of our country.

Hon Abdulmumin Jibrin

Go and clear your innocence.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday said he had no objections to any plan by the police to arrest Senate President Bukola Saraki over a string of murder cases in Kwara State, PREMIUM TIMES has learnt.

The president received Inspector-General Ibrahim Idris at the State House on Friday afternoon, during which he was told of at least 20 murders allegedly linked to Mr Saraki in his home state, according to multiple sources briefed of the meeting.

Sources said the police chief arrived at the State House with a cornucopia of homicide investigation documents relating to Mr Saraki. The top lawmaker could be arrested any day from now following the president’s position that the law should run its course insofar as detectives have sufficient facts to file charges.

Already, the police have declared Mr Saraki a person of interest in the deadly robbery incident in Offa, the second-largest settlement in Kwara State. The police said at least 17 persons, including nine police officers, were killed and five banks raided in the April 5 attack.
The police said the death toll from the robbery has risen steadily to 33 as at last week. Twenty 22 suspects, including a dismissed police sergeant, have been announced arrested.

Mr Saraki was amongst the first set of leaders to condemn the attack and called for a sweeping investigation and prosecution of all suspects.
In a statement on Sunday, police spokesperson, Jimoh Moshood, said at least five of the suspects arrested in the robbery “admitted and confessed to have been sponsored with firearms, money and operational vehicles” by Mr Saraki and Abdulfatah Ahmed, the state governor.

While parading the suspects on Sunday afternoon, Mr Moshood identified one of them as Ayoade Akinnibosun, a 37 years old resident of the state and the ‘overall’ leader of the armed gang. His vehicle was allegedly one of those used in the robbery. A number plate allegedly registered in Mr Akinnibosun’s name superimposed on a sticker number plate which had ‘SARAKI’ boldly written on it.

Amongst top Kwara government officials named in the robbery were Yusuf Abdulwahab, the chief of staff to the governor, and the environment commissioner.

The police said Mr Abdulwahab, 58, had been taken into custody, but it was not immediately clear whether it was in connection to the robbery. Some local news reports out of Kwara said Mr Abdulwahab was arrested on fraud charges unrelated to the robbery two days ago.

Mr Sakari has been asked to turn himself in at the police intelligence department in Guzape, Abuja. No date was specified for the summon. The Senate President could be arrested if he fails to turn himself in as demanded by the police, especially as he enjoys no immunity from prosecution.

But Mr Ahmed, whose position as governor accords him absolute immunity from criminal charges, has denied the police claims against him.
In a statement to PREMIUM TIMES Monday afternoon, Mr Ahmed said the police allegation that he armed and funded suspects for political thuggery or for any other activity was “false and unfounded.”

The governor said he had never been involved in or encouraged “thuggery or any other form of criminality.” He said the state government provided funds for youth in the state for small businesses; but neither him nor the state government should be held responsible for how the youth use such funds.

On his part, it was not immediately clear whether the Senate President will honour the invitation. His spokesperson, Yusuph Olaniyonu, Sunday afternoon did not return PREMIUM TIMES telephone calls and text messages seeking comments about the police invitation and Mr Buhari’s approval.

Presidential spokespersons, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu, did not return multiple requests for comments. Neither did Mr Moshood answer enquiries about Mr Idris’ visit to the State House and the invitation to Mr Saraki.

The disclosure that Mr Saraki had been implicated in murder cases comes three weeks after an open confrontation played out between the police and the top lawmaker.

But the confrontation was over separate criminal suspects arrested in connection to multiple gang killings the state over the past two years. The police abruptly moved the suspects to Abuja after the were arrested in Kwara and charges were being prepared against them over there.
On May 16, the day the police transferred the suspects, Mr Saraki alerted the nation of an alleged plan by Mr Idris and his police team to implicate him in criminal matters.

The top lawmaker told the Senate plenary that Mr Ahmed informed him the suspects were being transferred to Abuja to ease the alleged sinister plot by the police.

The police fiercely rejected the claim in a statement the same day, reprimanding Mr Saraki for his conduct and warning to desist from compromising an ongoing criminal investigation.

Judicial authorities in Kwara asked the police to return the suspects to the state for trial because their charges had already been prepared, a demand that hit a brick wall with the police.

There were initial reports that the suspects, some of whom PREMIUM TIMES later found were suspected cultists, confessed they were sponsored by Mr Saraki, but the Kwara government swiftly debunked the claims, insisting that the suspects did not indict anyone.
Neither the 22 suspects arrested in the Offa robbery nor the murder suspects in cultist clashes have been charged to court.

The police earlier stated that they would charge all the suspects upon conclusion of preliminary investigations.
It was not immediately clear how the police arrived at the 20 murders reportedly linked to Mr Saraki when they confirmed 33 deaths in the Offa robbery incident alone. But his arrest, notwithstanding the severity, could prove politically toxic for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), said political analyst, Sola Olubanjo.

When Mr Saraki first alleged attempt to frame him up on May 16, the Senate constituted a nine-member emissary to appeal to Mr Buhari to prevail on Mr Idris to relax criminal allegations against the top lawmaker.

Mr Saraki has also been leading a pack of politicians who allege marginalisation within the APC. The politicians, under the so-called nPDP, hold individual grudges, which range from alleged marginalisation over the past three years to their future standing within the ruling party.

Last week, the members met with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the State House, but details of their discussion were not immediately disclosed. Mr Buhari was not a part of the meeting, but there was optimism amongst the nPDP members that they would still meet the president.

“You have a ruling party that is facing a general election in less than a year away and its Number One is fighting its Number Three,” Mr Olubanjo said of Mr Buhari and Mr Saraki, who is generally seen as the third most-powerful personality in the country, coming behind the vice president. “The president is putting the party and his own political future in a critical situation.”

“I am not trying to defend criminality,” the analyst said. “But if we are to be objective in analysing how the police have handled this matter, we would see clearly that they have nothing against the Senate leader but only on a mission to destroy him by all means.”

Bolaji Abdullahi, the national spokesperson for the APC, did not immediately return PREMIUM TIMES’ calls seeking comments about the political fallout of Mr Saraki’s run-in with federal authorities.

A media consultant for the party who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES said he would not be able to immediately quantify how devastating it would be for the APC if Mr Saraki is arrested.

“I would rather tell you that IGP Idris did not make such request to the president on Friday,” said Ayo Akanji, who frequently visits the State House as a media consultant to the administration. “Even if he did, the president did not approve it.”

“Arresting the Senate President could thwart the ongoing reconciliation efforts and that may not be good for the party,” Mr Akanji added.

If Mr Saraki turns himself in and is charged, it would be another criminal charge since becoming Senate President in June 2015. He had been previously docked at the Code of Conduct Tribunal for false and anticipatory declaration of assets. He was discharged and acquitted on all 18 counts, but the Court of Appeal upheld all but two of the charges and returned them to the tribunal.

Another igrnorant post.
Worship of one god is called monotheism, but that does not equate two different deities.
Now lets move further.

If Allah equates to Jehova or Chineke or Eledumare or Yahweh, can you share where a moozlim calls or prays via those other names for God?
Lets stop all this equating of one god to another, for what purpose if I may ask.
Allah is Allah, Jehovah/Yahweh is Jehova, Sango is Sango, Obatala is Obatala.

This is not Algebra, A = C, and B = C therefore A = C. No religion does not meet reason or logic in that sense. All man to his lane.

I am not interested in the argument between you and the guy you quoted but let me point out something to you.

Allah has 99 names you can Google that. God says pray to him using those names, so to say we use Allah alone as name for God is baseless.

plateau Is A Good Place To Live,and Plateau Pple Are Not Muslims, Pls Stop Speaking Out Of Ignorance, I Know U Are One Of Those Ignorant Mofos Who Have Not Travelled To Other Parts Of The Country.

Plateau is a mixture of both Muslim and Christians

Throwback:
And when did Hausa become the language of the Middle-Belt or Jos where those you mentioned are known to have been born and raised?

Whatever happened to the ethnic language of the Berom?

They speak Hausa as common language in Jos.

In Plateau, Niger & Nassarawa the common language is Hausa. These are 3 out of the 6 north central state.

blackpanda:
Very good

They supported trump in a false attempt to antagonize buhari. Today they want to shed crocodile tears


Very good. Stay in your country and develop it

Exactly. Most of them travel to give Nigeria a bad name.

carinmom:
You know what? There are serious people that if they are critical of PMB, I may take them serious and Sheikh Gumi is never one of them. Sheikh Gumi harbours special hatred for PMB and has never said anything good about PMB. I will never forget his comments against Buhari in 2007 when late Umar Yaradua won the presidential election. Gumi has been known to always pass negative comments about the President in every Ramadan Tafsir to the extent that some JIBWIS Ulamas once had to reply him.

Dama chan basan Buhari yakeba so his statement is not surprising.

tuniski:
The explanation is very correct. Imagine a situation where say the senate age floor limit is 30yrs, a senate president of less than 35yrs can't be acting president in case of exigency! That will then create a constitutional crisis. Until the age limit for all elective offices is 18yrs, care must be taken in age requirements to forestall such crisis.

It's not correct. They can still open ( ) with the exception of the case where Senate President become the president for 3 months.


And what of the governors?

D1zion:
Gumi junior I like you for one thing. You're being straight when it comes to some polical issues. But you're a religious fanatic.but for this thing u said. My respects back to you. God bless you oh fearless sheikh,i pray they will not come after u now, since this government is a government that you cannot express your bitterness openly for fear of being brutalized. But I trust those boys in your area.

If you're corrupt you shouldn't attack the government. If he knows he is clean he has nothing to fear, otherwise he should be ready.

Malam Gumi you have 1 vote. We the ignorant Northerners will vote him again. If you like migrate to Niger after he won.

I can remember you ask him not to contest in 2015 that he should allow Kwankwaso to do instead. He won without your support but with God support.

Buhari is the federal minister of petroleum.

We have never seen him at his office and perhaps he may be receiving salary.

Nairalanders is he lazy that he doesn't go to his office as federal minister or can we call him ghost worker?


Lalasticlala mynd44 I need answers.

1 blow 7 die

positivethought:
you are just confused,if the christians in nigeria were using the hebrew alphabets then you can talk of ulterior motive

If they are using Hebrew wetin concern us. Do you think it will bother us? We don't care what they used it's you guys that have problem.

To show how foolish you guys are, u hate anything that has to do with Arabic yet there still exist Arab Christians.

but we dont so what are you saying,there are lot of people studying hausa at degree level n beyond but they are not taught using your ajami,you are just an unrepentant conservative fanatic n i'm not going to waste my time on you again,to hell with you and your ajami.

And so what if they are taught using English alphabet. Do you think anyone force the Hausa to adopt English alphabet?

To hell with you also and your fanaticism. The Nigerian money note from 200 to above have Hausa written in Arabic alphabets. If you're not satisfied vote someone to change it or quite using Naira rather than wailing and ranting on Nairaland on someones language that wasn't yours and neither written because of you.

positivethought:
I still insist that the use of the so call ajami is for ulterior reasons,why didnt the hausa stick to the ajami since even the colonial masters accepted n retain it why switch to english alphabets,i have seen uncountable hausa literatures written using the english alphabets but not ajami,on our #50,#20 notes are our indegineous writtings including hausa n everyone is ok with it so why the use of ajami if not to satisfy your arab islamic masters?,i was born,lived for long,schooled n worked in the north,i speak hausa fluently n i can confidently n authoritatively tell you that if there are people now still using the so call ajami to write hausa now then those people must be almost in extinction,infact the hausa written form has modified english alphabets to suit it eg the letter F b k with curved tips,so what exactly are you saying,you cant decieve me n im sure you cant continue to decieve everyone for long.

And using English alphabet is ulterior motive to our Christian Colonial masters or what? Sameway English alphabet are being modified to suit Hausa tongue is still the same way Arabic alphabets were modified to suite hausa language.

You can only decieve yourself, the Ajami was there since when Naira started to exist may be you're not even alive @the time. What happen to Nigeria because Hausa written in Arabic years ago. is it today the Ajami appear?

If you are looking for those that read and right hausa using Arabic language here you find me as 1 and all other majority of Hausa Muslim due to their familiarity with the Arabic alphabets.

If anything you should be ranting on then it should be the Arabic Language written on Nigerian Army Logo which says "Nasrun Minallah" and not Hausa language written in Arabic alphabets because you cannot decide for us on how we use our language.

positivethought:
I n we are complaining because we are nigerians and nigeria has no business with arabic whatever if not for islamic religious purposes and its a fact that those if you hidding behind the ajami excuse are only doing so for ulterior motives,the chinese have their own alphabets writting from up downwards,the claim that chinese uses ajami is just a figment of your own imagination.

And Hausa using English alphabet has no ulterior motive but when using Arabic it has ulterior motive. Before it started using the English alphabet what is the Hausa using? Where is the ulterior motive then.

You guys are just being fed with lies. The inscription using Arabic alphabet was retain also by the Colonial masters despite being non Muslim. It signifies history also that we know how to write before colonialism. And for how many years of Nigeria's existence where is the so called ulterior motive?


Hausa can be written with both alphabet. We decided to use Ajami and not English alphabet on the Naira so be it. We ain't changing anything. If you want it to be changed then vote for candidate that has campaign based on that line of agendas.

superhumanist:
Stop lying. The writing on the Chinese currency is Uyghur and not ajami.

Whatever it is, it is not the Chinese. I thought it is Arabic alphabet but even if it is not, it's a clear example of my explanation.

Trying to deviate our attention from the earlier news on how our zombie technicians (soldiers) are being massacred by Book Harm .

You can deceive babies not me. Ndi EWU

You're happy if Nigerian soldiers are killed and the news is true to you.

While you're angry if Nigerian troops killed Boko Haram terrorist and you consider the news as fake and attempt to divert attend.

You're nothing but a hypocrite


It clearly shows you stand with terrorist and truly you ipob guys are terrorist.

1. Troops of operation LAFIYA DOLE while on clearance operation at Jaje, Angwa Audu, Major Ali, Dabu Abdullahi, Dabu Wulkaro and Gori Jaji villages rescued nine (9) persons held hostages by the Boko Haram terrorists.
2. Those rescued include:
a. Two aged men.
b. Two females.
c. Five children.
3. They are currently receiving medical attention at the military facility and will be handed over to the appropriate authority soon.
4. Troops also during the encounter neutralized three Boko Haram terrorists.
5. Items recovered during the operation include some food stuff concealed underground in holes and several live stocks rustled by the Boko Haram terrorists.

OP, those traits you wrote up there are common with IPOB miscreants and they do not make any majority in the Igbo population so please edit your topic

Are you then telling me most Igbos using social media like Facebook, nairaland & co are ipobs?

positivethought:
chinese currency has Ajami on it!! for the indeginous hausas in china or for who?,

Not for Hausa. For Chinese language written with Arabic alphabets.

you confirmed in your own write up that the Hausa now use the English alphabets which is true,i was also taught Hausa in secondary school but never heard of Ajami, the question you need to answer is why the insistence on the retention of Ajami now that the Hausas has switch to English alphabets very long time ago?, answer the question evil supporter.

Like I said earlier some people still use the Ajami script to write especially those in the village. And what is your own issue if Hausa is written with Arabic alphabets. Is it your language? Are you Hausa? Or Are Hausas complaining?


If there is anything to complain about should be the army logo and not Hausa that was written with Arabic alphabets on the Naira

tallestcash:
If Igbos continue like this I mean with their hatred for PMB, Hausas and other tribes in Nigeria there is no way they can rule Nigeria. Because there is no how a region with only 6 states will produce a President without the support of other regions which has more larger population than theirs. They should think very well and retrace their steps and forget the agitation for biafra which is causing them big setback. They should see themselves as bonafide member of Nigeria so that they won't be sideline due to their actions

They have 5 states not even 6.

positivethought:
eheeen see turn turn reasoning!, why don't we have Yoruba Ajami or Ibo Ajami then?, if Hausa are now using the English alphabets then what is the need n insistence on Ajami then?,you are only engaging in taqqiya n you know but mind you, you can't fool everyone.

Shatap hater. The reason why Yoruba and Igbo don't use Ajami might be simple. They started writing when the white men came. While Hausa is being written even before the coming of colonial parasite. Hence the reason the white men retain the Ajami of the Hausa people then. Go and check China currency it also has Ajami.

Still some people in the north write Hausa using Arabic alphabets. I myself can write it using Ajami. I was even taught formally @ school.
