He is a good example of a Yoruba. Here in the US, they drop names like ''no man's'' business. Useless people.

Ex-Gov Ahmed Bola Tinubu barred from Aso Rock
By Our Reporter
Saturday, August 1, 2009
Former Lagos State governor, Senator Ahmed Bola Tinubu, may have incurred the wrath of President Umaru Yar’Adua over what was described as “acts unbecoming of a former governor.”



Indeed, the President may have ordered security agencies to thwart any attempt by the former governor to have access to Aso Rock, the seat of power.



Highly impeccable sources close to the presidency disclosed to the Saturday Tribune that the President declared Tinubu persona non grata to Aso Rock following what the sources disclosed as name-dropping of Yar’Adua by Tinubu.



According to the sources, Yar’Adua became angry when he got security reports that Tinubu was going about telling many people in the country and abroad that he was close to Yar’Adua and that he could enter the Aso Rock anytime he liked due to his closeness to the President.



He was quoted to have said that he used to see the president on a daily basis. But President Yar’Adua, the very credible sources said, got very angry when he got the report, saying that the last time he ever saw Tinubu was over 17 months ago.



The President was also reported to have said he never knew Tinubu before he became a governor, contrary to what the former Lagos State governor was telling people.



Yar’Adua reportedly said he only knew Tinubu through a very close aide.



The sources said President Yar’Adua had to call the top aide to inform him about the name-dropping attitude of Tinubu. He then asked him to warn Tinubu never to drop his name.



The visibly angry Yar’Adua also told his security aides that he should never see Tinubu at the Presidential Villa for whatever reasons and that the security chiefs should henceforth monitor his activities.



It was not long after this development that the issue of the controversy over the 57 local government areas resurfaced. It will be recalled that Tinubu had a running battle with former President Olusegun Obasanjo over the controversial 20 local governments and 37 development areas as the former president withheld the allocations to the local governments for many years.



The administration then insisted that Lagos must revert to the 20 local government areas before the allocations could be released, but the Tinubu’s administration insisted that Lagos must have more than 20 local governments.



After some time, his government reverted to 20 local government areas and created 37 council development areas, a move that did not go down well with the Federal Government.



But with the current attitude of Tinubu, sources said President Yar’Adua decided to revisit the issue of the 57 local government areas in the state which he said were illegal as the 1999 Constitution only recognised 20 councils.

He has, therefore, threatened to drag the current government of Babatude Fashola to court over the council issue. Fashola was the Chief of Staff when Tinubu was the governor of the state.

Ok!So now you agree that nothing is linked to unchallenged corruption here since there is unchallenged corruption elsewhere. Atlas Cove bombing will be a child's play compared to what will come next. Let your ragtag OPC get ready.

Has Aduwo told that to Yoruba traditional rulers, including the Oni of Ife who welcomed Fani Kayode home after looting the federal treasury to the tune of billions? Or the Olowu of Owu who recently crowned Oluremi-Adiukwu Bakare with a chieftaincy title after wrecking one of the failed banks. How moronic!

The hypocrisy is galling

Tinubu finished Lagos, Yoruba did not hold him accountable
Fayose finished Ekiti, nothing spoil
Agagu finished Ondo, it was business as usual
Ladoja was the same in Oyo
Now Akala, Oni, Oyinlola and Gbenga are dancing the macabre dance, but Yoruba have not asked them to account for the monies
How come the story is different with ND?

Secondly, the claim that ND is not safe for a university is hogwash. Aren't there unis in ND? Have the students being killed any more than cultists kill peeople in Ago iwoye, UniLag, Futo, Unijos etc?

Is the north safer than the ND? The activities of Boko Haram and other anti foreigner islamic fundamentalists in the North say NO

Yoruba in ND (and there are millions of them) should be getting ready for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

As usual, Yoruba fake press at work and trying to hoodwink the unwary. The same way they claim that UI is the first Nigerian university. Fajuyi is a hero but dying for Ironsi? Hell no! He was privy to the first 1966 coup and his association with Nzeogwu and Ironsi, two Igbos with hausa enemity caused Fajuyi's death. Poem ko, onigbokigbo ni. Thank God the truth is out. Danjuma and others know best.

Lukman Not Responsible For Insecurity In Niger Delta — Aduwo Print E-mail

A human rights activitist and the national coordinator of the Rights Monitoring Group, Olufemi Aduwo, has asked governors in the Niger Delta to take responsibility for the security failure in the region, making it unsafe for students and a petroleum university.

Speaking to leaders, Aduwo said the minister of Petroleum, Dr. Rilwanu Lukman was blameless, thus the governors calling for his head were being unfair. He said; "The College of Petroleum Studies, Kaduna was established in 1995 to train NNPC senior management staff. In 2005, former President Olusegun Obasanjo approved the upgrading of the institute into a full university, so it is not the making of Lukan."

"Also, there is the Petroleum Training Institute, Effurun, Warri and the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun (FUPRE). FUPRE is a National University Commission — approved degree awarding university from the PTI with its own board and vice chancellor. So it is not true that the PTI has been relocated from Effurun to Kanduna", he said.

Aduwo said the reality was that there are two academic institutions (PTI&FUPRE) in Effurun with different managements that can be verified by anybody.

He said;" This incident will confirm that if peace cannot be attained in the Niger Delta, there is no way development will be attained. So these governors crying over spilt milk are being insincere to themselves. First of all, they must ensure there is peace in that area. Do we want to invest N14billion to establish a petroleum university in maybe Bayelsa where the lives of students there would be threatened and they would become victims of kidnappings on a daily basis? It does not make sense".
