In Nigeria it means 4 + 4 for Buhari. Whatever it means in Egypt is there problem. Next Level, please.

- A man in Abuja has climbed a telecommunication mast in protest against the American University of Nigeria (AUN)
- AUN is a private university owned by PDP presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar
- The incident happened at the high-brow Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja
A man identified as Musa Wakatu on Monday, November 12, climbed a telecommunication mast over an alleged land encroachment by the American University of Nigeria (AUN).
According to Sahara Reporters, the man climbed the mast at NICON junction in highbrow Maitama area of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) as a form of protest.
AUN is a private university owned by Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate and former vice president, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
According to the report, he threw leaflets from the mast to the crowd who had thronged the area, alleging that Atiku, through his university, had encroached and fenced his landed property at Bajabure in Girei local government area in Yola, Adamawa state, and built structures inside.
He said he had protested on the same matter on March 14, 2012 when he climbed a mast at federal high court in Abuja but nothing was done.
“I wrote a complaint letter to the former IG Mr. Hafiz Ringim and delivered to force headquarters on 5th December 2011 with visitor tag No.054 without any positive result,” the leaflet read.
He said he was lured to collect money as compensation from AUN which he rejected but was later locked up in the cell.

He added that he was ready to pursue the case to the world court in order to get justice.
The leaflet also contained his bank account name and number seeking financial assistance from Nigerians to enable him get lawyer for the case.

A detachment of policemen, who arrived the scene, appealed to Wakatu via phone to descend from the mast but he vowed not to disembark from the facility.
Meanwhile, Atiku returned to Nigeria in the early hours of Sunday, November 11, to a thorough search by state security agents.
The former vice-president returned from Dubai in a private jet around 12am, after spending over two weeks outside the country.
The Adamawa-born politician confirmed via a tweet that he was thoroughly searched by agents of the state, but added that he can't be intimidated.

Photoshoped tweet.
BTW ....will Waec come and give me my own in the comfort of my parlor too ?
Bunch of clowns!

This is the difference between you and a president.

Xisnin:
Don't blame the man, hunger can make people hallucinate.

Go back to post and read who the man is.

The man's name is Auwal FARO and FARO is the name of Atiku's bottled water.

fake news, that's Abuja.that doesn't look like anywhere in Yola.

Surely it is Yola. I can see the river Benue Bridge.

Fayose is just an attention seeker.

The Adamawa State Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has been suspended indefinitely.
The suspended executive members have been the only support ligament to Governor Jibirilla Bindow’s survival beyond 2019 in the politics of the party.
SaharaReporters gathered that the suspension, which is due to be made public anytime soon, was arrived at following a petition by major stakeholders, including former Secretary-General of the Federation, Babachir Lawal; former Chairman of the EConomic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Mallam Nuhu Ribadu and President Muhammadu Buhari’s in-law, Dr. Mahmood Halilu Modi.
However, when contacted, Ahmed Lawan, State Organising Secretary of the party, said: “I’m only aware of a directive from the national secretariat, which only barred the State Working Committee from participating in the forthcoming primaries."
SaharaReporters also learnt that the Adamawa chapter of the ruling party has been embroiled in a protracted crisis leading to factionalisation and subsequent exit of key chieftains, such as Senator Abdul-Aziz Nyako.
With this development, it is almost clear as to where the pendulum will swing in Saturday's scheduled governorship primary election, as preliminary information on the suspension has turned Modi’s Yola residence to a Mecca of sorts.
As things stand, there are plans to draft security personnel to seal the APC state secretariat, in order to keep suspended state executives out.
Meanwhile, a crowd, majority of whom are APC card-carrying members in Bindow’s Mubi home town, have pledged their loyalty to Modi, saying “we’ll work to return him at the primary and general elections”.
A mild drama occurred at the palace of the Emir of Mubi, as thugs loyal to Bindow attempted to prevent Modi from entering the palace to confer with the Emir, Abubakar Isa Ahmadu.
The situation almost turned violent, as security operatives attached to Modi had to fire warning shots to scare away the hoodlums.

Did anyone notice that the 'small boy' is even taller than the corper?

ImmaculateJOE:
My Christian Brethren in Adamawa will not learn. Chal!

SDP in adamawa is predominantly Christian and its the only chance the've to win adamawa 2019 guber election because ADC APC & PDP will be fielding a muslim candidate, and now they're splitting.

Please before you insult me. Note that the muslim in adamawa including the Lamido have sworn that no christian candidate will allow to become governor ever.

You never learn. The scenerio you painted of major parties fielding Muslim candidates against a single Christian candidate will never make a Christian to win governorship election in Adamawa state because in the past such scenario existed and Muslims won the elections confortably. Boss Mustapha, , Bala Takaya, Joel Madaki and Gundiri and contested against Muslims fielded by strong political parties and lost.

Dogara is surely one of the politicians going into political oblivion after the 2019 elections. At present politically nothing seems to be working for him.

We are ready for Osibanjo in 2023.

Just open up. May God bless whoever gave EFFC the information regarding the bribes of cars you took. If you open up against others you know who partake in that crime I'll pray to God to bless you.

when Pdp finally take over power at the center, nobody should come and preach about reconciliation and forgiveness. Buhari, Amaechi, oshomole ,all of them must be tried in court and if found guilty jailed or sentenced to death by matchet cut.

Stop dreaming that PDP is taking back power soon.

ifyain:
EFCC have lost credibility and no one seem to believe them anymore , they always act before thinking.I pity those that believe in this Nigeria version of gullible APC vindictive democracy.

In this one EFFC's position is more believable. Whatever they lost in credibility they are more credible than the politicians.

challenges state to specify account details and holding banks
Soni Daniel, Northern Region Editor Abuja:

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has said that it has not frozen any account belonging to Akwa Ibom State Government in any bank anywhere. Udom Emmanuel The commission cleared the air on the matter following claims by the state Information Commissioner, Charles Udoh, on Wednesday night that the accounts of the state had been frozen by the anti-graft agency. “The state government will speak on the account freezing soon,” Mr. Udoh said, without giving further details. But a top official of the EFCC told Vanguard on Thursday that the agency had not frozen any account belonging to the state in any bank either in or outside Nigeria. The top officer challenged the purveyors of the information to name the details of the accounts reportedly frozen, the banks in which the are domiciled and the amount standing in those accounts. The officer said that there was no reason to freeze the accounts since Akwa Ibom state government and the commission were already in court over the movements of state funds. “The case is already at the Appeal Court since they challenged our powers to investigate the accounts of the state and the matter has not yet been determined and we cannot embark on self help. “So, we challenge the state government to name the banks in which the accounts were reportedly frozen, the account numbers and the amount standing in the accounts to prove to the world that indeed what they are saying is true,” the top official said. “We believe strongly that some elements are deliberately trying to blackmail the EFCC by boldly lying against the commission all in a veiled bid to drag it into politics. This is quite unfortunate and a disservice to this country,” the official said.

EFFC did unfreeze any state's accounts because it has not frozen any state's account. It is a continuation of a pattern of lies by Benue and Akwa Ibom state governments and we should expect more to come from the desperate power mongers in PDP.

And I repeat, if not for money politics, Christians feeding from the crumbs and alot of them educated and voting on merits, not on religious grounds, A Muslim man wouldn't have ruled Adamawa State.
This is a fact you know, and I bet this fact hurts you

How am I hurt when I know I am right? You are the one who is pained because I hit you with verifiable facts. It has always been that the votes of the winning Muslims more than doubles that of the nearest Christian. In fact if not for courtesy a Muslim-Muslim ticket can be presented and win in Adamawa.

asobo:
Point of correction Umaru Fintiri was the speaker when Nyako was impeached. Please get your facts right.

I said when Nyako was ousted by court. Nyako was ousted by court ruling and James Barka, the then speaker, became the acting governor. Nyako contested and won again before being impeached which led Fintiri becoming acting governor

Mbamto:
Lies! lies!! lies!!!
Christians in Adamawa are over 60%, go and find out, stop assuming. You wonder why the Muslims become Governors? Reason is money politics, crumbs from the table etc. I am not talking in ignorance, my moniker means Queen from one of the Adamawa tribes that are 98% Christians.

You can be from a tribe (Bachama) which is over 98% but Christians are nowhere near 50% in Adamawa state. Past election results have proved that. Bala Takaya, Boss Mustapha, Joel Madaki and Gundiri have all used the religious card in the past but they lost woefully. The only time a Christian won an election was when Boni contesting for his second was because he didn't play the religious card.

asobo:
Keep quite Mr man, Hon Mijinyawa is the speaker and he is a Muslim. It's high time you stop commenting on things you know nothing about. Wawa kawai, you irritate me gosh

He said former speaker, not the current speaker Mijinyawa. Mr James Barka, a Christian, the speaker, when Nyako was ousted by a court became the acting governor. Bala Ngilari, a Christian, nyako's deputy became a governor after his impeachment.

Shelumiel:
A clear conscience fears no accusation. So why are you dodging ?

Would you have said this had It been Dino Malaye ?

jerryunit48:
We have to applaud GEJ for being a true Democrat , many left PDP during the last elections but nobody gave any threats of job losses but look at how APC is terrorizing everyone that have decamped

Gov Nyako of Adamawa state was removed by GEJ for decamping.

Nice one from our amiable President Buhari.

Looks like a planned abduction by Dino to avoid court appearance.

I strongly believe that Dino planned the whole thing to avoid appearing in court. It is very sad that a thug like Dino is allowed to be in the national assembly.

I'm appealing to the people of Adamawa state to come out in huge numbers to welcome our own Atiku. Even if we are going to vote Buhari we should not allow him to be disgraced in Adamawa state.

As our own we will welcome him but when the time for voting comes we will Buhari to continue with his good work.

Why does Dino always court trouble?
