Jonathan strikes deal with Atiku, IBB, Gusau



LAGOS — THE pathway to reconciliation between President Goodluck Jonathan and his foes in the Northern Political Leaders Forum, NPLF, has been articulated in a report of a joint committee constituted by both parties.

Both sides were evasive on the contents of the report which was to be submitted last night. It was, however, gathered that it contained provisions that would accommodate supporters of the NPLF and its presidential aspirant, Atiku Abubakar, in an enlarged Presidential Campaign Committee of the President.

News of the report which was being kept under close wraps came as President Jonathan, weekend, charged his top campaign aides to pursue former President Ibrahim Babangida and erstwhile National Security Adviser, Gen. Aliyu Mohammed Gusau (rtd), for the purpose of bringing them on board.

President Jonathan had, weekend, crossed the bridge when he paid a visit to Mallam Adamu Ciroma at his Abuja residence.

Vanguard learnt that the outcome of the meeting was a report that could forge permanent peace between the President and the NPLF.

Before the President visited Ciroma, the erstwhile Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the PDP, Chief Anthony Anenih, had played the role of peacemaker between the President and the NPLF.

It was learnt that the option of peace with President Jonathan followed the decision of the NPLF to discard the two other options before it. The other options were to support the Presidential Candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, Major General Muhammadu Buhari or to frustrate President Jonathan’s election bid through the courts.

Sources in the Buhari camp confirmed last night that there had been no approaches from the Mallam Adamu Ciroma-led NPLF.

Buhari’s spokesman, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, said: “No approach has been made so far but Gen. Buhari has always maintained that he appreciates support from all sections of Nigeria and as far as we are concerned he is not a candidate of a section of the country.

His constituency is the Federal Republic of Nigeria and all the constituent units but he will not turn down support from any group of persons provided they are Nigerians.” Vanguard learnt last night, that the NPLF would in the next two days make a declaration on the development.

Marching order

The marching order from President Jonathan to his campaign aides is coming on the heels of the President’s plan to heal the wounds that the pre and post PDP Presidential primaries inflicted on the aspirants.

This was the outcome of the meeting President Jonathan held with members of the just constituted Presidential Campaign Council 2011. The meeting which was chaired by President Jonathan, took place at the Legacy House, Saturday, with the major agenda of stock taking, the journey so far and where to go from there on the Jonathan/Sambo presidential campaign.

The meeting started at 10.00pm on Saturday and stretched till 2.30am on Sunday morning with the Acting National Chairman, Alhaji Haliru Muhammed Bello, Senator Dalhatu Sarki Tafida, Chief Tony Anenih, Senator Grace Folashade Bent, Senator Teslim Folarin, Chief Ojo Maduekwe, the Chief of Staff to the President, Chief Mike Ogiadomhe, and others in attendance.

It was gathered that as soon as the meeting started, the President briefed members of efforts he made to reach out to Mallam Adamu Ciroma, Ibrahim Babangida, Atiku, Gusau, and others, just as he stressed the need to mend fences with his former contenders in the PDP presidential race including Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida and General Aliyu Gusau.

He then told members of the Presidential Campaign Council 2011 to work out modalities for a meaningful relationship with them.

A source at the meeting said President Jonathan saddled members of the council with the responsibility of reaching out to the former Presidential aspirants as well as open up discussions with them with a view to bringing them on board early enough against the backdrop that he is ready to have his former opponents join him in forming the next government after the April Polls.

It was also gathered that at the meeting after a brief proposal by Ojo Maduekwe who served as Secretary, members spoke on how to finance the 10 committees recently set up by the PDP and the Presidency to see to the emergence of Jonathan as President in the April Presidential election.

Ojo Maduekwe at the meeting stressed the need for creating a sub-committee for the Campaign Council, an indication that more prominent members of PDP would still be enlisted in the committee which holds its next meeting early this week. The meeting, it was learnt, also stressed the importance of the media in the campaign process and the need to properly fund the media committees in order for them to function effectively.

It would be recalled that the PDP brought in former President Olusegun Obasanjo on board of Jonathan’s Presidential campaign as he was named as a key member of Presidential Campaign Council 2011 in his capacity as the Chairman Board of Trustees of PDP.

Other members of the Presidential Council are the Senate President, David Mark, House of Representatives Speaker, Dimeji Bankole, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, House of Representatives Leader, Tunde Akogun, Ogun State Governor, Gbenga Daniel, Babangida Muazu, Bukola Saraki, among others.

Campaign council
Besides the Campaign Council headed by President Jonathan, other Committees include Presidential Campaign Directors, zonal co-ordinators which include Liyel Imoke, SouthSsouth; Martin Elechi, South-East; Gbenga Daniel, South-West; Gabriel Suswam, Middle Belt; Isa Yuguda, North-East and Ibrahim Shema, North-West.

Other Committees include Entertainment/Protocol Committee, Publicity Secretary which include Tony Iredia, Ojeifo Sufuyan, Ima Niboro, Doyin Okupe, Oronto Douglas, Raymond Dokpesi with PDP National Publicity Secretary, Ahmed Rufai Alkali as Chairman.

There is also the Finance and Fund Raising Committee headed by Oba Otudeko, while the Security Committee is headed by Mike Okiro, just as there is the Inter_Party Relations Committee and headed by Chief Ebenezer Babatope.

Another strategic Committee for Jonathan Sambo campaign include Monitoring/Strategic Committee headed by President Jonathan with PDP National Chairman, Bello Muhammed, David Mark, Anyim Pius Anyim, Shuaibu Oyedokun, Ojo Maduekwe and others as members.

Una still dey here after how many months?

Lemme ask these Ndigbo something. . .


Who keeps changing Port-Harcourt Wikipedia page


Every week that page seems to be changed by Ndigbo eager to dispossess Okrikans of Isaac Boro Park - Borokiri area of PH.


Una get time o!!!


As for those who talk about PH, we have to understand that the original PH consists of what is today the Diobu - Aggrey Road axis, 80% of which was bought from the King of Okrika.

Of course, as PH expanded Northward, we have that 80% of PH becomes Ikwerre territory.

Martin Samuel on Sunday Supplement:

"The problem with Chelsea is that they play three forwards in the box. That forces the opposition to keep their 4 defenders all in the box. At the same time, Lampard is running into the same box, being tracked by 1 or 2 players. That makes 10 players in the box, and everything is too congested. In addition, the build up is too slow for this system to work. Ancelotti is too stubborn to play with real wingers."


SACK THE FOOL NOW!!!

PDP boys always get a soft landing as long as they are no longer a threat.

Let's watch and see.

Make una no kill unaself over this player, that player.

These players will not perform under the current formation.

For example Debo said we had x amount of shots and no goal. Even when we were losing games with Scolari, we used to have 20 shots. Please check the stats.

There is a difference between having a shot when there is no one in the box, and having a shot when there are 10 players in the box. Due to Ancelottis system, when we have a shot, the box is always packed with men, and the shot is always rushed. This is due to Ancelottis insistence on pushing the 3 forwards high up with no defensive duties. This in turn forces the opposition to leave many men in the box. Hence the box is always overcrowded and every shot must be taken in haste.

Give me 2 shots on the counterattack with no-one in the box, and I prefer that to 20 haphazard shots where the box is packed.

Of course, its been 2 and half years since I've been making these basic points (since Scolari and again under Ancelotti), but some choose to ignore the obvious and point fingers at players.

Yes, players need changing periodically but MY TEAM is not that bad to be struggling to qualify for UCL.

When I defended Ballack based on these same arguments after some said he lacked creativity, I was laughed at, but today some tell us that we miss Ballack.

@ Nateevs,

Even last season, we collapsed mid-season. We had the horrendous exit to Inter and it is the same basic tactics that managers use to stifle Chelsea which is to put pressure on the fullbacks and funnel all our play through the middle. Ancelotti is no different to Scolari is any way, shape or form.

We all know Chelseas strength which is 4-3-3/4-5-1 with two wide players putting crosses for DD, Lampard running from deep to catch any knockdowns. That's what this team was set up for.

Even a blind man could lead this team to challenge for the title and reach deep into the UCL if he sticks to this format. Avram Grant did it!

Please, I don't want anyone taking Chelsea into the UEFA Cup so I suggest we call on someone like Guus Hiddink to SAVE OUR SEASON!

Ashley Cole is very reliable on pens. He was always no5 pen taker for Arsenal.

Anelka though? The eediot doesn't know his team.

He's turned Malouda from a touchline hugging winger into a fancy dan ineffective inside forward who pulls out of challenges.

Nateevs was complaining that Malouda and Kalou haven't had a chance to "get wide" during the match. I don't know what Nateevs has been watching. Since Ancelotti came, Malouda and Anelka are no longer wingers but inside forwards. This STOOOPID manager does nothing but crowd the box with three forwards, with no one to feed them from the wing. Every eediot knows that if you stop Ashley and Ivanovic, Ancelotti's team folds like a pcak of cards.

Ancelotti is a FOOOOOOL!!!!

Enough excuses. Sack Ancelotti now! I never liked the incompetent eediot, and he has proved beyond doubt he is a useless manager. SACK THE FOOOOOOL!!!!

And what eediot doesn't know that Anelka is the LAST player you pick to take a penalty? Does the Italian buffoon not know his squad?

Finally, someone puts a CROSS in and we score a GOAL!

Ancelotti has no plan for this team except these narrow 3 forwards. The first time we deliver a cross from the byline, we score a goal. Pls Ancelotti should dish his silly system. We are not Barca and our three forwards don't have the tight space skills of Barca.

Lemme just add that RAMIRES has been fantastic today.

^^ He's simply an amateur. All these fast rhymes him dey do, he no get control of him flow.

Nobody should rig for him yet Anenih is his campaign chief.

Me sef, I would like to be dropped in a room full of nekkid Poornstars, so I can tell them "nobody should have sex with me!"

@ HJ,

We still dey wait o!

AQ is still wack, his "Names" track was wack, "Black Friday 1" was wack. I haven't heard Parts 2, 3, 4 and 5 but they're wack also!

Naira must be maintained at all costs, if not people won't be able to take the suffering.

Please someone tell GEJ and his boys to put money back in the ECA, that's just it.

OBJ's administration was able to keep Naira stable for a long time, abeg they should just do exactly the same.

In other news, Palm oil is selling at $3000 per tonne. I can't remember offhead, but I'm led to believe Malaysia makes more from Palm Oil than we do from Crude. If I had any suggestions for these lazy National Cake shares, it would be to revive the Palm Oil industry cos even our illiterate forefathers were world leaders in this field, so why not us who went to school. It is 50 times more labour intensive than the Crude Oil industry and will provide jobs for us. I heard Ribadu talking about building 1m homes and GEJ talking about building boarding house for Almajiris. They should come up with more creative solutions abeg!

Y'all need to face the truth and stop parambulating.

We need land to house all the slaves we took from Obiagu's people. We no longer have Palm Oil trade to support them anymore, so we are willing to claim anywhere, EVEN LAGOS, so we can provide for the descendants of all the Palm Oil slaves (myself included).

PLEASE GIVE US LAND!!!

@ Katsumoto,

Before nko! How a whole guy like you go dey ask dat kain question. No fall my hand o!

The whole point is why are people selling the Naira? Cos they've seen the wanton despoil of our ECA by the current administration even in a time of record oil prices. Simples.

Dividends of goodthief Jonathan.

It makes no sense to devalue the Naira as we don't have the export base.

Interesting to note that IMF has told us that the pressure on Naira is due to depleted foreign reserves and vanished ECA.

Now that Goodthief has gone cap in hand to borrow from them, they now have the right to make demands on our fiscal policies.

All because one incompetent rascal wanted to buy his way into power.

Any place called Kiri Kiri in Lagos musta been an Ijaw settlement.  

Obiagu1:
It is just unfortunate that the Ijaw man has a very good hospitality that other people  take advantage of,  Its the same hospitality the Ijaw people have in the eastern side where they had a lot of Igbos in to their fold and even made an Igbo freed slave their king. In   KALABARI  there is a tradition call KINI-IYA,  it means to adopt some one or to marry some one,  At that time wealth in KALABARI LAND WAS MEASured BASED ON THE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE you bought or adopted. This led to a rush to acquire as many Igbos as possible. Some KALABARI CHIEFS HAD as many Igbo adopted people like  more than 200 and all these people were given equal right. a CEREMONY was  always made where all the adopted people would be shaven in the public and given KALABARI-IJAW names. It was the same practice in Bonny , Okrika and Nembe,

You people should know that no one from Opobo, Bonny, KALABARI and Okrika would say they are Igbos. Pretty much like no naturalized american would claim that he is from a foreign country.  The natives of those places  are IJAWS but no doubt Igbos came  to play some good parts in their midst.

This na wetin I dey tell una since.

Yes, the United Fruit company is the one. That company spawned a lot of revolutions including the Guatemalan revolution in which Che Guevara was caught up in whilst visiting Guatemala on a previous gap year. That was the first time Che Guevaras name was tagged by the CIA, and the moment they started following him.

Lets not forget the African titan Julius Nyerere who housed and fed Guevara in Tanzania whilst Guevara was waiting to cross the Taganyika into Zaire to do battle with Mobutu's forces.

Some peeps such as Je Soul have been fed only one source of information their whole life, thats why they always reason within the confines of the limited picture. 

Whilst we should accept valid criticisms of Fidel, one must always bear in mind that the American alternative to Fidel (Batista) is/was worse than Fidel.

@ Cap28.

No mind these one-dimensional figures like Je Soul. They have not been exposed to a kaleidoscope of human knowledge.

A single American company used to own half of Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras etc before brave men like Fidel, Raul and Guevara launched their attack from the Sierra Maestra mountainous jungle, having spent several months in Mexico preparing to take back their land from the gringos. Guevara was a simple medical student traversing Latin America on a gap year when he bumped into Fidel in Mexico. Fidel himself was a charismatic youth leader who had already been imprisoned by Batista.

Fidel never intended to go toward communism. Raul and Che had been preaching Marxist values to him in the jungle but he had refused to toe that path. However when he was welcomed into Havana by the people of Cuba, he sought to redress some of these injustices such as the mortgaging of Cuba to very few American interests. It was the antagonism of America that pushed Fidel into Krushchev's arms, as Cuba could not stand the threats from Uncle Sam and needed a big backer to protect themselves.

As for your statement that Fidel abolished the heinous racism in Cuban society, it behoves featherheads like Je Soul to take note of the truth you have spoken. There is no El Negro alive in Cuba today who was alive before 1955 that would wish for a return to the Batista days.

Viva la Revolucion!!

Ralph Uwueche opened up a can of worms.

Now even Ohanaeze youth - Ebonyi chapter is porknosing into PDP affairs for Nwodo sake.

Soon we would hear Ohanaeze toddlers - Abia chapter campaigning for Nnanami whilst Ohanaeze women - Rumuokurishi chapter campaign for Amaechi.

All after collecting their cut of course!

^^ Ibime is just trying to save face as usual after his prophecies get blown to smithereens. . .

First he told us Djourou is a completely useless defender. . . After Djourou's magnificent performances this season Ibime had to resort to questioning his sexuality.

Now that Koscielny is proving to be an excellent signing Ibime is yarning nonsense again.

Anyone who thinks Koscielny gets dominated aerially obviously has no clue!

The same Kos who wilted under physical pressure at Newcastle?

Tell us something new.

Djorou? Dont make me laugh.

BTW, I never made prediction about Kos cos Id never seen him till he came to England. But now Ive seen him, Ima tell you he is not a top 4 Premiership defender.


As for Squillaci who I told yall was a dud, that one na open and shut case.

No matter how well Koscielny did in one-to-one marking, he will still be dominated in the Prem cos he can't stand power nor aerial threat.

Arsenaaaaaaaaal!!!

This is suicide football by Arsenal.

Where is that guy Dr Kit that said that Kaka is better than Messi? Of course a mad man would always think everyone else is mad except him. Hehehehehe

The Dossier:


Roman Abramovich began to engage in commerce in 1992, within a few years he established five companies on production of petroleum products and brokerage services. At the beginning the businessman almost landed in jail for embezzlement. In July 1992 a criminal case number 79067 on theft of diesel fuel from the Ukhta refinery in especially large amount of nearly $ 4 million rubles was opened against Abramovich. As it came out during investigation, Abramovich bought fuel on false documents, and then got rid of it in Riga, where it was realized through the shell structure. Deputy Prosecutor of Moscow sanctioned the arrest of Abramovich. But Roman Abramovich miraculously escaped from criminal liability. The reasons for his impunity were going to be understood much later, when it became known of his relations at the highest political level.

The name of Roman Abramovich appeared in the press only at the end of the 90's, when Abramovich started buying actively the real estate abroad, as it is known today for his political masters - the family of the first president of Russia Boris Yeltsin. In 1998 Korzhakov called Roman Abramovich "purse of the Yeltsin family” at a press conference, then everybody got interested in Abramovich.

By that time, Mr. Abramovich had already entered a big oil business, which was a great merit of Boris Berezovsky, the "gray cardinal" of Yeltsin, the one who led Vladimir Putin to power. In 1995 Berezovsky waged a tough fight for possession of "Sibneft" and needed a resourceful assistant. (Professional qualities made delighted Yeltsin's daughter Tatyana Dyachenko, who pronounced eulogies in her blog on "talented, bright, exceptionally decent and loyal" Roman Abramovich)
Yeltsin's daughter described how Abramovich became a billionaire - NEWSru.com, 28.12.2009

In 1995 Berezovsky and Abramovich created JSC "P.K. – Trust”, then Abramovich established ten firms during a year to buy shares of Sibneft. In 1996 Abramovich headed the Moscow office of Sibneft. The privatization of Sibneft was held at the standard scheme of the 90’s through organization of "shares auctions”. In fact, contests on the sale of the companies’ shares went without any competition - all the firms applying for Sibneft were close to Abramovich (as a result he became a real owner of the company, having at least 36% of the shares). Sibneft was but bought for 250 million dollars, while the state received less than 2,7 billion dollars.

After having acquired Sibneft, Abramovich began to buy up controlling stakes in subsidiaries incorporated in the company. As a result, JSC Noyabrskneftegaz got under the absolute control of Abramovich. His next financial acquisition was gain of Omsk oil refinery in the amount at 100 million dollars collected on accounts of the Swiss trading offshore company "Runicom", presided by Mr Abramovich. In this scam a son of Yeltsin, Leonid Dyachenko was involved, fraudulent transportation of oil went through his company. in 1998 "Runicom participated in attempt to sell "Purneftegaz”, affiliated with Rosneft.

In 2000 tandem "Abramovich-Berezovsky took part in the “Russian Aluminum" creation, which subsequently captured 70 percent of the market. The next object that appeared to be interesting to them - the national airline Aeroflot, in which Abramovich acquired 26% shares. The next major acquisition of Roman Abramovich - ORT, Russia's leading television channel. The seller was Berezovsky, the buyer - Abramovich. All that time Mr. Abramovich served as a faithful treasurer in the "family" by paying its members traveling to ski resorts and purchasing of houses abroad. Then-Prosecutor General of Russia Skuratov possessed materials of illegal financial transactions of companies controlled by Mr Abramovich. It was rumored that Abramovich had even offered to Tatyana Dyachenko to organize physical elimination of Skuratov. But there was no need to kill the prosecutor - he had resigned after a scandal (he was spotted in the bath with prostitutes). All attempts of the law enforcement agencies to check the financial activities of Abramovich always ended in failure.
Abramovich in the family - Satcor.ru, 22.12.2002

But after a few years Abramovich began to dispose of his assets. In 2005 he sold Sibneft (at its base the company "Gazprom Neft" was established later) for $ 13 billion. Prior to that, Sibneft twice attempted to "merge" with Yukos, Mikhail Khodorkovsky - in 1998 and 2003, but unsuccessfully. The last attempt failed at the last moment because of the arrest of Khodorkovsky. At the same time Abramovich sold 50% stake of Russian Aluminum to Oleg Deripaska and 26% of Aeroflot to the National Reserve Bank. It is believed that Abramovich got rid of the companies with the scandalous history of privatization, so that nothing resembled to a respectable businessman on criminal past. At the same time, Abramovich bought 41% of iron and steel company Evraz, and 44% "Eurocement". Billionaire also bought the American metallurgical company Oregon Steel Mills for 2, 3 billion, steel company IRSCO, and as a result become the largest pipe producer in North America

After Vladimir Putin was elected president of Russia, Berezovsky and Abramovich's relationship broke up. Berezovsky departed to London. Abramovich, on the contrary, immediately declared he was loyal to the Kremlin. In 2000 he becomes the head of Chukotka, the poorest region in Russia, and following the presidential covenant "Business should give more to society” he spends $ 200 million of its own funds for Chukotka, and his overall investment is estimated at 1, 5 billion. In 2005 - he was approved for another term. In 2008, Abramovich resigned from his post at his own request. They say that Roman Abramovich was going to retire in 2006, but then President Putin refused to sign his resignation. Order of the resignation of Mr Abramovich was signed by the President Medvedev - it was kind of reward to oligarch for his contribution to successful performance of Russian select team at the European football championship (Abramovich provided a salary of $ 4 million per year to national team coach Gus Hiddink).

Abramovich feels quite calmly in regard to personal spending. He buys luxury yachts, houses, and football clubs of the British Premier League. Some believe Abramovich diverts attention from his business by this. Others believe that such investing of the profits increases the value of his companies and insures them for years ahead, as soon as linkages left from Yeltsin's time, lose their strength and value slowly under Putin. It is noteworthy that most of this capital Abramovich holds abroad.
Abramovich is happy in the shade - "The Financial Times", 26.03.2008; Abramovich was awarded the resignation for the Russian football success - "Our Version", 07.07.2008.

English courts in 2005 began to investigate dark deals of the Russian oligarch. the energy company Yugraneft, controlled by Shalva Chigirinsky registered a claim amounting to 2,5 billion dollars to the Royal Court in London for Abramovich and his company Millhouse Capital (it manages all the assets the oligarch). Abramovich was accused of fraudulent deprivation of 50% stake in "Yugraneft" in an oil field in Siberia. Tchigirinsky filed more than 50 actions in Russia; however none of them have been processed successfully. Investigators denied him twice to in a criminal case of fraud by Abramovich. But the claim in the Royal Court was not satisfied because the court considered that the oligarch was not a permanent resident in the UK, and all his business contacts remained in Russia, so all the proceedings could be possible only there. The court was remarkable not only with that. The judge studied deeply the private life of a billionaire, and for the first time published 134-page list of all movable and immovable property of Abramovich – starting from the flotilla of yachts, planes, mansions and castles around the world to Chelsea Football Club.

In 2005 Abramovich was at the center of investigation, which was led the French law enforcement authorities in the so-called "Berezovsky case”. French police questioned the honesty of transactions carried out by Abramovich when he purchased mansion “Chateau de la Kroe" in Antibes. It was suspected that the house was bought on "suspicious patterns", using fictitious companies. The newspaper Le Figaro wrote at the time that mutual assistance existed between the two billionaires. But in 2007 former partners refuted the myth that they still needed each other as business partners. Berezovsky filed a court action for Abramovich to get repayment of $ 5 billion pounds. It was a question of Sibneft, Rusal and ORT sale, which in Berezovsky’s opinion, he was forced to sell cheaply through the Kremlin threats, which Abramovich passed to him. In addition, Berezovsky declared in his lawsuit that Abramovich bought Chelsea in 2003 upon the orders of Putin. Advocates of Roman Abramovich considered Berezovsky's claim futile, because all the Berezovsky's accusations were based on oral interviews with Abramovich, which content was not documented. The decision in this case was never adjudicated.
French police became interested in Roman Abramovich - Izvestia, 01.06.2005; British court disclosed a list of Roman Abramovich's ownership - The Gardian, translation: "Kommersant", 05.11.2008; Abramovich's lawyers submitted to the court of London history of his transactions with Berezovsky - NEWSru.com . 05/06/2008; Berezovsky handed action to Abramovich, when he met him accidentally in court, - NEWSru.com, 07. 10.2007

In early 2009 the agricultural holding PRODO owned by Roman Abramovich began construction of biogas stations at the farms and meat processing plants for production of biogas from manure (volume of investments - 3 billion rubles).

Currently Abramovich tries not to glow in the press unnecessarily, except for reaffirming his loyalty to get help from the state. Close circle of Abramovich involves: Valentine Yumashev, Oleg Deripaska, Eugenie Shvidler (his best friend), Alisher Usmanov, Vladimir Lisin.

SiaSia sef. Stronghead no be everytime o!
