Politics › APC Clears AGF Malami For Kebbi Governorship Election by Georgry(op): 5:49pm On May 21, 2022
The screening committee of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has cleared Attorney-General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami, to contest the 2023 Kebbi governorship election.

A document seen by Peoples Gazette conveyed Mr Malami’s clearance to run, stirring controversy in the political sphere since the AGF had already withdrawn his governorship ambition, in order to retain his ministerial appointment.

President Muhammadu Buhari had last week issued a directive ordering all political appointees to resign before contesting in the forthcoming general elections.

It is unclear if Mr Malami has turned in his resignation to pursue his political quest in compliance with Mr Buhari’s directive or if he was waiting for the supreme court interpretation of the contentious section 84 (12) of the Electoral Act 2022.

The Gazette could not immediately reach Mr Malami for comments as his line and that of his spokesperson, Umar Gwandu, were not reachable at the time of filing this report.

A series of political appointees have sparked public outrage after they went against political norms to seek elective positions without resigning.

Politics › I Eat Garri Three Times Daily, ‘poor’ Amaechi Begs Nigerians For Vote by Georgry(op): 8:25pm On May 20, 2022
Former transportation minister, Rotimi Amaechi, says he’s a better candidate to be voted president because he understands the sufferings of poor Nigerians.

“I can connect easily with the people. I wasn’t born into a rich family. My father was a poor man, and the only English my mother knows how to speak is pidgin English.

“I ate garri three times a day, and I still eat garri three times a day till today, so I know poverty”, Mr Amaechi said.

Mr Amaechi, a former governor of Rivers, made this assertion while canvassing for votes from All Progressives Congress delegates in Niger State on Thursday.

“I know what you’re suffering; I was governor of Rivers State when they were kidnapping two months old children, and I never slept until everybody slept. But in six months, we brought down insecurity in Rivers State,” the presidential aspirant added.

Mr Amaechi is not the first politician to project himself as one who understands the yearnings of Nigerians.

In 2011, former President Goodluck Jonathan, warmed his way into the hearts of many voters by portraying himself as a poor Otuoke boy who grew without shoes.

Similarly, President Muhammadu Buhari rode on the same sentiments to power in 2015, projecting himself as a poor candidate who had no house in Abuja and could not afford the APC presidential form.

Politics › Farah Dagogo: Rivers Court Remands Lawmaker Granted Bail By Federal Court by Georgry(op): 3:23am On May 14, 2022
The prosecution of Mr Farah Dagogo for allegedly sponsoring cultism in Rivers State has taken a new twist, as a State High Court on Friday remanded him in a correctional centre.

He was remanded by the court on Friday, a day after a Federal High Court on Thursday ordered that he should be released on bail.

Dagogo is the lawmaker representing Degema-Bonny Federal Constituency of Rivers in the House of Representatives, and a governorship aspirant of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

He was reported to have been hand-lifted into the courtroom from a police vehicle during his arraignment before Justice Chiwendu Nwogu.

Justice Nwogu ordered that the governorship aspirant be remanded in a correctional centre because he appeared too weak to take his plea.

In his reaction, Dagogo’s media aide, Ibrahim Lawal, described the lawmaker’s remand as a pre-determine action by the Rivers State government and the police to disobey the order of the Federal High Court which initially granted him bail.

Dagogo was arrested on April 28 in Port Harcourt at the venue of the PDP governorship screening for the South-South states.

His arrest came after Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers declared him wanted for reportedly recruiting cultists to attack the state party secretariat during the screening of National and State Assembly aspirants.

The lawmaker was first arraigned before Justice A. I Amadi-Nna of a Magistrate Court on April 29, but the case was adjourned till May 9 for the charge to be amended following arguments that a Magistrate Court cannot hear matters relating to cultism.

On the adjourned date, the case was moved to the State High Court, but Dagogo could not be produced in court on the ground that he was being managed for some health challenges.

While the case was later adjourned till Monday next week for mention at the Rivers State High Court, the matter was brought forward for Friday.

Crime › Judge Pardons Couple For Stealing Wheat Flour, Raises Money In Court For Them. by Georgry(op): 3:35pm On May 12, 2022
Vincent Adet, the Senior Principal Magistrate of Kenya’s Mombasa law courts, has pardoned a couple accused of stealing a bale of wheat flour.

The couple, identified as Saumu Ali and Evans Odhiambo, were accused of stealing the flour worth Ksh. 1,980 from Grain Industries Ltd on April 13 at Shimanzi area in Mvita.

At a hearing in April, the pair pleaded guilty to the charges and told the court that they stole the wheat flour to fend for their kids, who had gone without food for several days.

The woman claimed she was going about her daily routine when her husband summoned her to assist him in carrying a bale of flour from a car parked nearby.

She pleaded that she only stole to feed her kids and begged for leniency, swearing never to steal again.

Odhiambo, on his part, claimed to be a scrap metal dealer who had lost his job as a result of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s scrap metal prohibition. He also admitted to stealing food for their children to feed.

In his ruling on Wednesday, May 11, Principal Magistrate Vincent Adet pardoned the accused, noting that he had considered the probation report presented before his court by the probation officer.

“On humanitarian grounds, especially for the first accused person, I have considered the circumstances under which the offence was committed and I sympathize with her situation, with three kids under her care and no source of income and am of the view that let buy her a bale of wheat flour and some meat for today,” K24 TV quoted Adet as saying.

The judge also encouraged members of the public, media, and court officials in attendance to donate any amount to Saumu’s food fund, and kicked off the effort by donating Ksh.1000..

You want the polital appointees to be allowed to contest for an election right? They should eat their cake and have it ba? You want them to continue in their position until 30 days to the general election so that they can use government money to fund the election, shebi you heard that Malami shared almost 200 vehicles? Fully funded with government money, you want The governor of Central Bank to use Nigeria's money to prosecute an election?

You're a wonderful person, and one day you will realise that you are one of the problems of Nigeria.
Phones › MTN, GLO, 9mobile, Airtel To Increase SMS, Call Tariffs by Georgry(op): 3:46pm On May 04, 2022
Telecommunication companies under the aegis of Association of Licensed Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria, ALTON have recommended an upward adjustment in call and SMS tariffs

Telecommunication companies under the aegis of Association of Licensed Telecommunication Operators of Nigeria, ALTON have recommended an upward adjustment in call and SMS tariffs to cushion the increasing cost of operation in Nigeria.

Making the proposal in a letter to the Nigerian Communications Commission, the association lamented that the cost of doing business in the country had risen by 40 per cent.

The association claimed that the telecommunications industry had been financially harmed by an economic downturn that occured in 2020 and the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war.

They claimed the war had resulted in a 35 per cent increase in their operating expenses due to an increase in energy costs.

“ALTON considers it expedient for the telecommunications sector to undergo periodic cost adjustments through the commission’s intervention in order to minimise the impact of the challenging economic issues faced by our members,” the association said.

ALTON suggested an “upward review of the price determination for voice and data and SMS. Given the state of the economy and the circa 40 per cent increase in the cost of doing business, we wish to request for an interim administrative review of the mobile (voice) termination rate for voice; administrative data floor price, and cost of SMS as reflected in extant instruments.”

This proposal will see the price floor for calls rise from N6.4 to N8.95, while the price cap for SMS will rise from N4 to N5.61.

This development came as business organisations continue to devise means to survive the country’s harsh economic condition.

GTBank reduced operation hours following the incessant increase in the pump price of diesel. Also, First Bank of Nigeria reduced operation hours at some of its branches.

Business › Breaking News; Elon Musk Offers To Buy Twitter For $54.20 A Share. by Georgry(op): 12:04pm On Apr 14, 2022
Elon Musk offered to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share, saying the social media company needs to be transformed privately.

"I invested in Twitter as I believe in its potential to be the platform for free speech around the globe, and I believe free speech is a societal imperative for a functioning democracy," Musk wrote in a letter sent to Twitter Chairman Bret Taylor and disclosed in a securities filing.

According to Musk, the social media company needs to go private because it can "neither thrive nor serve" free speech in its current state, Musk wrote.

"As a result, I am offering to buy 100% of Twitter for $54.20 per share in cash, a 54% premium over the day before I began investing in Twitter and a 38% premium over the day before my investment was publicly announced," he wrote. "My offer is my best and final offer and if it is not accepted, I would need to reconsider my position as a shareholder."

Twitter shares jumped 12% in premarket trading after closing at $45.85 a share on Wednesday.

Musk first revealed a 9.2% stake in the social media giant earlier this month, which sent share soaring 27%. The company also announced that Musk would join its board of directors, but he later reversed those plans.

Musk has previously criticized the social media giant publicly, polling people on Twitter last month about whether the company abides by free speech principles. He also said he was considering building a new social media platform.

Shares of Twitter have seesawed in recent weeks amid the news from Musk, but are up 6% this year and 18.5% since the start of the month. Musk's offer values Twitter at about $43 billion.

Politics › Cyprian Akaolisa: Gunmen Burn Homes Of Imo Justice Commissioner & His Father's by Georgry(op): 12:17am On Apr 11, 2022
Some gunmen have razed the country home of the Imo State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Cyprian Akaolisa.

The assailants also burnt the residence of the father of the state justice commissioner located in the Orsu Local Government Area of the state.

In June 2021, Akaolisa’s country home was also attacked and burnt by some unknown gunmen.


The residence of the Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Declan Emelumba, was also attacked last year.


In a statement on Sunday, Akaolisa confirmed the attacks, saying, “The Igbos are hard-working people who through their years of toils put up structures and leave developmental strides in their communities of Origin maka ‘akụ ruo ụlọ, a mara onye nwe ya’.

“Through my many years of struggle, I have managed to put a block on another to build a befitting house for my family. My aged father also has a house he built through his sweats.

“Today, both buildings are in rubbles and ashes – our fellow Igbos burnt them. Firstly, last year, these arsonists burnt my country home in Obibi, Awo-Idemili, Orsu LGA of Imo State for no just cause.

“This year again, they returned and this time, they perfected the complete burning of even the blocks/bricks.

“And last night, to my utter consternation, they levelled my father’s house. This is a house my father built by himself – the life-toil of an aged man.

“In other words, I wish to put on record that my family house is completely destroyed. This was after they used a truck to cart all the properties: fridges TVs, bed/foams, generator sets and other household materials.

“What are my crimes, who did I offend? And what were my father’s offences? And I dare ask, where is the Igbo spirit? This is a direct affront to the akụ ruo ụlọ spirit. Who will invest in Ala Igbo nay Orsu LGA today under this type of atmosphere?

“The above are acts of arson ongoing in my LGA of Orsu. The complete burning of our LGA Secretariat, the house of my colleague – Chief Prince Ford Ozumba, the Hon Commissioner, Imo State Ministry of Labour, Employment and Productivity, the house of Hon. Ekene Nnodumele, the member representing Orsu State Constituency in the Imo State House of Assembly. There are also houses of other political leaders which have been razed in my area so far.

“Other ungodly acts are the sacking and carting away of all the Police presence & armouries in Orsu LGA, the kidnapping and killing of well-to-do individuals and security operatives. This attendant scare has become a daily phenomenon in my Local Government Area.

“Today, these gunmen (Codenamed Ụmụ Ọma, under the guise of freedom fighters) have continued to demand huge sums of money from mourning families who wish to bury their loved ones and the likes. It is now strictly business! These gunmen have almost made a god of themselves, killing and cannibalising at will, in my area but believe me, they will not succeed with our voices up and collaborative efforts.

“Where is the Igbo spirit, ụmụnne m? It is unfortunate that the majority of those who foment these troubles are not indigenous to Orsu but have garnered collaborators and enablers among the locals either through fear, persuasion, financial inducements and made to swear to devilish oaths of secrecy.

“It is time to synergize and put an end to the siege in Orsu LGA and liberate our people who are worse hit by the economic downturn occasioned by the ravaging insecurity. For the enablers and cheerers, It is time for the needed retrospect, soul-searching to interrogate the process so far by weighing the gains and losses.”
