Former president Goodluck Jonathan has revealed the state in which he handed over the Nigerian economy to President Muhammadu Buhari. The former president stated that the Nigerian economy was the largest in Africa and worth a GDP of $574 billion as at when he handed over noting that he assumed office when the nation was only worth $270.5 billion in GDP and the second largest economy in Africa. Jonathan also noted that in 2009 when he assumed office, Aliko dangote was the fifth richest man in Africa but had risen to be the Richest in 2005 before he handed over to Buhari. While addressing other pressing issuues, Jonathan said: “the campaigns leading to the elections almost polarized the country into Christian versus Muslims and North versus South divide. Most world leaders were worried that our elections will result into major crisis. Some pundits even from here in the United States said that those elections would spell the end of Nigeria and that we would cease to exist as a nation because of the polls. “That is where the leadership question comes into play. As a leader that was duly elected by the people, I considered the people’s interest first. How do I manage my people to avoid killings and destruction of properties? With the interest of the people propelling all the decisions I took, we were able to sail through. “Indeed, we sail through because I refused to interfere with the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, having appointed a man I had never met in my life to run it. My philosophy was simple. For elections to be credible, I as a leader, must value the process more than the product of the process. And the citizens must have confidence in the electoral body. “This rule of the law of process ensured that Nigeria’s peace, prosperity and progress was not derailed by the conduct and results of the 2015 elections and I am proud to say that while I took over a Nigeria that was the second largest economy in Africa with a GDP of $270.5 billion in 2009, I handed over a Nigeria that had grown to become the largest economy in Africa and the 24th largest economy in the world with a GDP of $574 billion.” He said he inherited a Nigeria in which the trains were not working, and handed over a Nigeria in which citizens can safely travel by trains again, adding that He further stated: “I inherited a Nigeria that was a net importer of cement, and handed over a Nigeria that is a net exporter of cement. In 2009 the richest Nigerian was the 5th richest man in Africa, but I handed over a Nigeria that produced the richest man in Africa. “These are but a few of the parameters that illustrate some of the economic transformations we engineered during my term in office. This was made possible by the fact that there was a stable political leadership in Nigeria that did not have to pander to any other constituency except the electorate who brought me to power. And these actions have a contagious effect.” spynigeria.com/2016/06/04/jonathan-finally-reveals-nigerias-worth-handing-buhari/ |

Coming on the heels of the just-concluded BREXIT which is still generating reactions and counter-reactions across the world, the unjustified beheading of King Charles 1 by Parliamentarians on January 30, 1649 has been unveiled and calling for justice commiseration for King Charles by the ever-fierce Activist and Chairman of The Commonwealth Liberation Party (TCLP) UK, Prof. Alexia Thomas. Prof. Thomas’ assertion has however necessitated her demand for justice by writing a 40-point strongly worded letter to the Commissioner of Police, New Scotland Yard, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe who she charged must prosecute David Cameron and his accomplices. In her letter dated 26th June 2016, and copied to the office of Queen Elizabeth II, the Prince Of Wales, the Buckingham Police Department and Serving MPs, the TCLP Chairman, Prof. Alexia Thomas is calling for a halt of the 19th Century Boys Scott British Politicians from running Great Britain in the 21st Century like their Father’s Vine-Yard. EVIL GENIUS AND HIS CRIMES Opening up a bunch of historical revisit, the Royal Mother as she fondly addressed alleges Mr. Cameron’s ferocious atrocities committed as acting British Prime Minister from11/05/2010 to 24/04/2016 is now indictable under the Criminal Act for his Crimes of FRAUD, TAX EVASION and RIGGING ELECTIONS; The Law, as compelled by Legislation and aforesaid Penalty be communed. FRAUD, TAX EVASION and RIGGING ELECTIONS; The Ousted Prime Minister David Cameron and his Cabinet Ministers of the Remain Campaign rigged the election. On the 24/06/2016, he sought for 3 months’ period for his Government Handover and European Commission President Mr. Jean-Claude Juncker overturned that his time asked will defect the whole process of new transition and EU is not in consensual. Mr. Cameron punishment ensued for his violation of Communications Act 2003. Her Knowledgeable Professor Alexia call directs the Justice System and Parliament to revoke and banned the Communications Acts 2003 in which Conservative Party Members equally breached. TAX EVASION Allegation Of 2016 was swept under the Carpet because he sweet spoke People of Britain by his charms using deceit Diplomacy. The Man Cameron is not as smart as People assumed because his Political cajole shank Politicians in Government for the gains. BREACHED COMMUNICATIONS ACT 2003 Another to his array of Criminal Offences; and this is a very serious legislation that has limited over 200 UK Political Parties inability to arise above suppression in recognition compares with old Party of Conservative Party and Labour. Communications Act 2003 was intentionally enacted to keep Old Parties in Rulership to continue their tenure in Tyranny so People of Britain are restricted by Media Broadcast of other Up-Rise Parties and now same Conservative Party is in breached of the Act EMBEZZLEMENT Prof. Thomas submits that PM David Cameronembezzled £9,000,000.00 to campaign Britain Remained in EU and Printed Flyers and now that his illogical views failed, he has indebted the Tax Payers Coffers, therefore Mr. Cameron influenced Legislation and funded his Conservation Party Agenda with Tax Payers Money Prof. Thomas prorogate that Mr. Cameron is currently in a State of confusion hence seeking for 3 months is a decoy to cover his track and conceal evidence, hence is now an effective time to oust Mr. Cameron’s time buying, he must now vacate 10 Downing Street not exceeding 8 days from the receipt of her letter dated the 26/06/2016, so to restrict him from rigging the evidence to be collated at his residence STAIN IN POLITICS Mr. Mark Carney is the 120th and current Governor of Bank Of England, appointed in 2013. He is the first Non-Briton to be appointed to the Post but made a commitment to the Prime Minister to take up British Citizenship. Why did he make a commitment to take British Citizenship, simply denotes his position was attained by the lobbyist to Aid Movement of British Money to the European Union without obstruction for evasiveness of shrinking the Economy of United Kingdom? A Canadian being a Governor of Bank of England is a shame on British Democracy, the most ridiculed monger of National derailment of Economic Servant for destruction. Questions need to be answered why a Non- British is appointed to the Post of such task of a Nations Treasury. DEMOCRACY DEATH Prof. Thomas alleges that offences committed were Crimes of from Abuse of Legislations, Extortion and Massacreration of the UK Economy. Her contention is that ‘The Prorogation Of Justice Requires Leadership Courtesy Of Impunity Law To Mandate The Rule Of Law, Effectisation Of Equality Without Debarment Of Peoples’ Right To Overturn The Rulership Of Few Men Over The Majority Of Mass Submission’. She therefore enjoins the British Monarchy when she opined, “The Monarchy and people of Great Britain will agree this is the only resolution to ripen the fruit of justice denied of King Charles 1” Click link to read full storyspynigeria.com/2016/07/01/uk-prime-minister-david-cameron-to-serve-6-years-imprisonment-for-fraud/. |
The National Leader of the All Progressives
Congress, APC, Bola Tinubu, has slammed
President Muhammad Buhari’s lack of political
will to adopt the National Conference Report,
which gives room for fiscal federalism.
Tinubu, who aligned himself with the former Vice
President, Abubakar Atiku, on the call for the
restructuring of Nigeria, faulted Buhari’s
calculated attempt to throw the Confab report
into the archives.
Tinubu, stated this on Monday, June 20, through
his most trusted representative and Chairman,
Editorial Board of the Nation Newspaper, Sam
Omatseye, in his usual weekly column.
Omatseye, who usually represents Tinubu in
some high profile functions, delivers speeches on
behalf of the APC National Leader, as well as
come in his defense by writing rejoinder, stated
this barely 24 hours when the President arrived
Nigeria, after spending 14 days in London for
medical treatment.
Recall, that Buhari had recently said that he has
consigned the Confab report to the trashcan,
saying that his administration will not bother to
look into the report.
Condemning Buhari’s utterance, Tinubu said;
“The Governors clasp bowl in their hands every
month, to the counterfeit mercies of the center.
“The APC highlighted this in the course of the
campaign. For all its tendentious politics, the
conference in the twilight of the Jonathan era,
afforded a platform for more robust dialogue.
“It was therefore, a historic error that Buhari
tossed it into the archives. That big, dark vault
of nothingness called archives. The time will
come, when we shall build a museum of
suggestions, paradigms and solutions ignored
generation after generation. All the ceremonies,
tea breaks, lunches, deliberations, perorations,
communiqués and tomes of recommendations
turn into ashes in a bonfire of time,” he stated.
He maintained that, it is a waste of scarce
resources, and contempt for ideas, for Buhari to
discard the report spearheaded by former
President, Goodluck Jonathan.
“If Buhari ignores the call to restructure Nigeria,
it will haunt him, as he tackles our lopsided
being. I expect the call to increase in its
stridency in the coming months.
“The National Assembly lacks the courage, or
even the depth to push it. This new
restructuring fever might be another fight in
futility”.
While criticising Buhari’s hostility to new ideas,
he maintained that the cries for restructuring,
may make the country a “catacomb of echoes,
room after room, relaying the same calls. But the
audiences are dead, with worse than ear
infections”.
Drawing a conclusion, angry Tinubu said: “I am
for restructuring. The federal system sits a
centre like a leviathan in shallow waters,
ponderous, stuck and “swimless,” and at the
mercy of the nibbling rapacity of a swarm of
small fishes.
“We cannot sustain a system where the centre
owns over half of our money, our power, our
morality, our constitution. It is a garishly
decorated monarchy, a throwback to our
monarchical and feudal loyalties with a despotic
shadow of our military past”. www.saharareportersrescue.com. |
Prominent Nigerians and groups on Monday urged the Federal Government, particularly the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, to investigate the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, over the purchase of $1.5m properties in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates. The Chief Of Army Staff and his two wives were reported last week by an online medium, Sahara Reporters, to have owned $1.5m properties in Dubai. The National Publicity Secretary of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, in an interview with The PUNCH, said Buratai should be probed over the allegation of the Dubai property scandal. He stated, “The defence the army put up for him is so silly to be believed outside the barracks. All the earnings of Buratai since he joined the army, if all were saved, cannot buy a house in Dubai, let alone two. “The army also exposed itself as a lying institution when it said Buratai was never in charge of procurement in writing. The investigation should make Buratai to let the country know that he did other businesses to buy the property in question so that the integrity of the anti-corruption war can be intact. “The house could only come legitimately through other businesses outside his pay. The savings from the salaries of any army officer in Nigeria cannot buy a house in Dubai.” Also, the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project said it was the duty of the EFCC and the ICPC to investigate Buratai’s claim that the houses purchased in Dubai were done with his personal savings. Speaking in an interview with one of our correspondents on Monday, SERAP’s Executive Director, Adetokunbo Mumuni, said for the anti- corruption war to be seen as fair, the anti-graft agencies must consider whether Buratai could afford the properties based on his financial records as a civil servant. He said, “The bulk stops at the table of the EFCC and the ICPC to investigate the COAS. Did Buratai and his two wives acquired the property in Dubai and paid for it in a single transaction? As a civil servant, how much has he received in salaries and emoluments? Are these big enough to acquire the properties? For the anti-corruption war to be seen as fair and not selective, the anti- graft agencies must investigate Buratai. It is their duty.” Reacting, the President of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, Mr. Malachy Ugwummadu, told one of our correspondents that Buratai should be probed in as much as he could not justify the purchase of the Dubai property with his legitimate earnings. Ugwummadu, a lawyer, said, “The main thrust of the two major legal regimes designed to deal with anti-corruption regime is to ensure that by no means persons allowed to live in excess of their legitimate means. “If Buratai’s years of entry into the military are known and his salary ascertainable and it is not enough to satisfy a full-time soldier who is also excluded from other endeavours apart from farming and agriculture, he should be probed. “This is painful to me, because Buratai has shown commendable capacity to fight against insurgency in Nigeria.” He however warned that “we must be circumspect because that could be this antics of the fifth columnist.” The Ministry of Defence had earlier on Monday dismissed the controversy generated by an online media report over the ownership of two properties by Buratai’s family in Dubai. The Minister of Defence, Mansur Dan-Ali, said that the media report was an attempt by some persons to distract the leadership of the Armed Forces from the successful prosecution of the intensified campaign against terrorism in the North -East. The minister’s comments were contained in a statement signed on his behalf by his Principal General Officer, Brig. Gen. Mohammed Ahmed, on Monday. But a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Femi Falana, has slammed the Nigeria Army for defending Buratai over the Dubai properties. Falana said it was not the business of the Army to speak for Buratai on the allegations. According to him, since public offices require public trust, Buratai should submit himself to the Code of Conduct Bureau and the anti-graft agencies to clear his name. He said, “Buratai should willingly invite the CCB, the EFCC, the ICPC to look into the matter. If Buratai was alleged to have unjustly purchased the houses, he has to come out to defend himself. He must show how the money used to purchase the houses was transferred.” saharareporters.com/2016/06/28/afenifere-falana-others-demand-buratais-probe-over-dubai-homes |

Argentina’s president Mauricio Macri has personally contacted Lionel Messi to try and persuade the Barcelona star to not quit the national team. Argentina lost to Chile on penalties in Sunday’s Copa America final, while Messi missed a spot-kick and was in tears at the final whistle. After the match, the 29-year-old claimed that his international career was over: “In the dressing room I thought that this is the end for me with the national team, it’s not for me. “That’s the way I feel right now, it’s a huge sadness once again and I missed the penalty that was so important.” PLAY But a spokesman for Argentina’s president told AFP: "He [Macri] called him and told him how proud he feels of the national team's performance and asked him not to listen to the criticism.” Marci also posted his support for Messi via his official Twitter page. “I never feel greater pride in our team,” he said. “I hope the joy of seeing the best in the world will continue for many years more. #NoTeVayasLio.” m.goal.com/s/en/news/586/copa-america/2016/06/28/25128332/argentinas-president-urges-messi-not-to-quit-national-team?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=enfb&utm_referrer=http%3A%2F%2Flm.facebook.com%2Flsr.php%3Fu%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.goal.com%252Fen%252Fnews%252F586%252Fcopa-america%252F2016%252F06%252F28%252F25128332%252Fargentinas-president-urges-messi-not-to-quit-national-team%253Futm_source%253Dfacebook.com%2526utm_medium%253Dreferral%2526utm_campaign%253Denfb%26ext%3D1467119183%26hash%3DAckenF_0vE_v0HCgctn1qy4NHxkR5drEYK9ebBDxe8b2hw%26_rdr |

The embattled Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has on Friday evening, reacted to the mass protest allegedly sponsored by the All Progressives Congress, APC, calling for his immediate resignation. Recall, that some residents of Ado-Ekiti, capital of Ekiti State, took over major streets on Friday, demanding the resignation of Governor Fayose, over corruption allegations. The protesters had stormed the streets of Ado- Ekiti, chanting anti-government songs. The placard-wielding protesters, called on the Federal Government to probe Fayose. Some of the inscriptions on their placards were: ‘Fayose Must Go’, ‘We Don’t Want a Criminal as our Governor’, ‘How Can Fayose be Richer Than Ekiti?’, ‘Where is Ekiti’s N100 million?’, ‘What Happened to Ekiti Airport Fund?’ The protesters, challenged the Governor to prove that the allegations against him were untrue, asking the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, not to get distracted by the “antics of the drowning man”. “We are dying and he is busy swimming in luxury. Workers have not been paid for six months, but our so-called Governor is more interested in fighting those who can be of help. Enough is enough,” a protester said. “How long can we continue like this? The federal government should come to our rescue. We need to be delivered from this tyrant. We are not safe under him,’’ another protester stated. In a swift reaction, Fayose, through his Media Aide, Lere Olayinka, accused the APC of sponsoring the protest. “The protesters are remnants of the Kayode Fayemi administration. They were not even up to 100. Their leader Omotunde Fajuyi, is a card carrying member of the APC. Don’t be deceived by the lies that they are activists.” “Instead of them to go to Abuja and face President Buhari, that has turned the country upside down, they are saying Governor should resign. They are saying someone looted Ekiti. Where is the Ekiti that can be looted? The State already looted by the APC government. spynigeria.com/2016/06/25/mass-protest-as-fayose-releases-shocking-statement-on-his-resignation/ |
“My brother, I think all the people saying they
have not seen any change should by now be
convinced that truly, truly, the game has
changed.”
“Football? Euro 2016? Brexit?”
“What is wrong with you?”
“Or may be you are talking about the death of
Stephen Keshi and Shuaibu Amodu and the fact
that Nigeria’s House of Football needs to be re-
organized”
“I really don’t know what the matter is with you
today. I always try to engage you in a
conversation because I consider you smart, but
your responses don’t make sense to me.”
“Game change. Well. I studied a bit of game
theory in school not as a student of political
science but as a generally curious student.”
“Who is talking about game theory?”
“Game theory is about political marketing, the
relation between structure and agents, how
power is deployed, structuration, the framework
of power, the politics of structural and collective
agency.”
“When you are tired of boring yourself, you will
keep quiet. I am just saying the game has
changed in Nigeria. I guess that is simple
enough so stop quoting text books.”
“Ha, I get you now. I recall that the former
Chairman of the PDP, during the election was
snick-named the game-changer. Everywhere he
went everyone said game-changer!”
“If you are dumb, or pretending to be dumb,
good for you. I am talking about today’s Nigeria,
you are talking about the past. Can’t you see,
don’t you hear, don’t you feel it, that indeed,
contrary to what we used to think, something
indeed has changed…”
“Tell me.”
“Me? You mean I, me, myself?”
“What is that?”
“If you mean I, me, myself, I have nothing to
say. And please note that because the times
have changed, I have developed all kinds of
problems with my senses.”
“Then you should go to London for treatment.”
“God punish you for saying that. Do you want to
put my family in trouble? I forbid you to talk
carelessly anywhere I am. If you are looking for
trouble, go and look for it on your own. My mid-
year resolution is that I will not hear any evil,
speak any evil and see no evil.”
“Is that your game that has changed?”
“Na you sabi?”
“I think your problem is that you are afraid. You
are just like all these other people who have
forgotten that there is a Freedom of information
Law in this country”
“Hen hen. Who in this country has any law
helped to put food on the table for his family?
This man, be careful.”
“Feel free. Let’s analyze recent developments in
the country.”
“As in…”
“The floating of the Naira”
“The Naira is floating eh. Good. So how many
Nigerians have gone to the lagoon to pick up
Naira free of charge, since the Naira started
floating?”
“There is just one market now. “
“Hun hun.”
“Say something man. You are usually very
intelligent and vocal.”
“I hear”
“Fayose, the Ekiti Governor and Ben Murray
Bruce commented on this matter.”
“I am warning you, the way you are putting your
hands in my mouth, I will call my wife to warn
you to stay away from me henceforth.”
“What has your wife got to do with this?”
“Because you want to put our God-loving family
in trouble.”
“Because you don’t want to talk critically about
public issues?”
“You can say what you like?”
“Look at the Fayose issue. Even Zenith Bank like
you is scared. They have disowned Fayose.
Everybody today is sucking up and bootlicking. I
hope someone will tell Zenith Bank and other
banks that they all failed in their fiduciary
responsibilities. The rule of banking says KYC:
Know Your Customer. You can’t use ojukokoro to
collect money and then turn around to say you
don’t know. I also think a bank has a
responsibility to report unusual transactions, the
moment it happens not ex post facto.”
“Well done”.
“And as for Ben Murray Bruce, the
commonsense Senator. You can’t borrow money
and start behaving as if you have more sense
than your creditor.”
“This man. What is wrong with you? You are also
a businessman and you once told me you are
terribly exposed financially. Talk with some
sense. If AMCON takes over every company, they
will add to the unemployment crisis in the
country and punish innocent people. AMCON is
taking over too many companies. Fact. ”
“I am talking sense”
“And I am saying these times we are in requires
more than commonsense. It requires uncommon
sense, tact and intellect, and a proper
understanding of nonsense because what you
call commonsense will just get you into trouble.”
“Ok, tell me”
“No comment. In this matter, I have neither
sense, commonsense or uncommon sense.”
“I see. I see. The game has changed truly.
Everybody with sense, even small sense is
beginning to shut up and shut down. Tragic”
“Who has sense helped? The game has
changed…I will not join you to say I have sense.”
“I am beginning to suspect you.”
“I will call your wife and ask her to advise you to
avoid satanic conversations anytime you are
with me.”
“You?”
“Yes. Me.”
“We cannot keep silent. This country belongs to
all of us.”
“Good for you.
“We must talk, talk, and talk, on twitter, on
instagram, on television, on the pages of
newspapers.”
“Yes. Yes. Yes. And your wahala when it comes
will also be televised, twitterised, instagramised,
and newspaperized. You better borrow yourself
uncommon sense.”
“Like Zenith Bank hen?”
“I think you should start going home now.”
“I also hear some militants are claiming that
they are being instigated to continue pipeline
vandalism and organize against the state.”
“Nobody is organizing anything in my house.
Come, how has my wife wronged you, that you
want to bring calamity to our household?”
“It s our job to criticize public affairs.”
“It is our job to support government, so that
when government succeeds, we too can
succeed.”
“From your mouth?”
“Honestly, from my mouth.”
“Now, I am beginning to understand.”
“Understand whatever you want. Change is
here. Have you not heard that in Cameroon, the
parliament is debating a bill that makes adultery
a crime. The deal is to have you spend between
two and six months in the senior college if you
go do napoi anyhow, so it is better to be careful
and to control.
“I know some napoi people in Nigeria.”
“Like you, yourself?”
“We know who the adulterers are. Like the
National Assembly people who are now in court
for forgery. You commit political adultery, you
run a risk.”
“This man, can you shut up? Stop talking like
this at a pepper soup joint. Do you know who
and who is eavesdropping on us?”
“With this loud music and with the way
everybody is busy with pepper soup and isi
ewu?”
“Just shut the hell up.”
“Iyalaya anybody who wants to rob me of
commonsense.”
“You too have changed.”
“Iyalaya change”
“Just shut the Bleep up”
“So life is like this?”
“Life is like what”
“If anybody told me”
“That the iyalaya of social critics will face moving
trailer.”
“That you will sound like this”
“At an open joint, with drunken souls eating
pepper soup and half crazy? I have told you,
whenever you want to hear sense from my
mouth, choose a different location.“
“Truth is not selective. It should thunder forth
from everywhere no matter whose ox is gored”
“Gore your own ox, leave us out of it. As for me
and my house, we shall support change.”
“This is a loser’s creed. The sacrament of the
defeated.”
“You will still go and blow this your grammar in a
cell, very soon. And you’d be surprised if I am
asked to testify against you, I will gladly wear a
mask and do so.”
“Me?”
“Yes, you. You can’t make me guilty by
association”
“What kind of life is this oh?”
“What kind of stupid man is this oh?”
“Like seriously?”
“Like I know suicide is bad, even God forbids it.”
“As in…”
“Can we change this subject? Ha ha, wetin? Stop
putting your isi ewu hands in my mouth.”
“What a country? What manner of a citizen?
With people like you, democracy is on trial.”
“Forget matter. Even in America democracy is
on trial. Even in Britain, right now democracy is
on trial.”
“Power is dangerous. Powerlessness is worse.”
“When you use power to serve your purpose,
everybody will know where they belong. As you
see me so, I won’t discuss power at a pepper
soup joint.”
“What of on twitter?”
“Twitter? So I can get into trouble?”
“But you have a twitter account?”
“I have deleted it to avoid temptations.”
“You have indeed changed”
“I have oh”
“You have lost your power of expression”
“It is better oh”
“You have become gentle”
“Look for a stronger word, please”
“You have lost your caustic tongue”
“My tongue still dey kampe, but I am intelligent
enough to use it now only on ponmo and cow
leg.”
“Change”
“Go and ask the people who refused to change.”
“Human beings are chameleons”
“Can you get off my back? Oya, take the pepper
soup and finish it. You can’t because you are
paying for cheap pepper soup force me into
trouble. Take your pepper soup. I am out of
here.”
“Na fight? Finish your pepper soup.”
“I don’t want. You finish the rest or look for
another mumu like you to finish it. This is
amazing”
“Amazing as in the spread of mumuism. Go to
Zenith Bank.”
“I can only wish you good luck”
“Same to you. Chop your pepper soup finish.”
“No”
“Next time, I’ll talk to that your Ph.D friend and
report you to him. He should be more sensible”
“Hmm. Carry your wahala go. Who sense don
epp?”
“Happy International Widows Day”
“Say that to your wife. She needs it. Yeye man”

President Muhammadu Buhari earlier this year extended the tenure of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum Resources Jamila Shu’ara in clear disregard of civil service rules. Shu’ara turned 60 years on February 17 and duly served notice of her retirement to the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Ekanem Oyo-Ita. However, in an unprecedented move President Buhari unilaterally extended her tenure by one extra year by a letter sent through the head of service. This happened at the same time some of her colleagues who more years to spend in service were compulsorily retired. However, The Nigerian Times investigation has revealed that the covert reason for which she was illegally retained was to serve as the President’s eye and to check the activities of the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu. President Buhari is also the Minister of Petroleum Resources. Recall that The Nigerian Times reported that Kachikwu’s appointment was a product of a pre- election deal between the President and General Theophilus Danjuma (rtd) who is also a major player in the petroleum sector. Despite Kachikwu’s appointment, the President has kept a stronghold on most of the major portfolios in the ministry being the substantive minister. Sources within the presidency disclosed that the President does not trust Kachikwu so much as to allow him operate without close monitoring. This has necessitated the retention of a more ‘trustworthy’ official. A source in the Villa told Nigerian Times that President Buhari trusts no one particularly if that individual is not from Daura. “The President had his reasons for keeping the Petroleum Ministry to himself. He was wants to ensure that at all times, he knows what going on there. To achieve that he knows he needs a trusted ally to act as his spy. That’s why he is hanging onto Shuara who having been Permanent Secretary in that ministry before her present stint, knows the terrain and is also dependable. President Buhari does not fully trust Kachikwu. He considers him too sleek and unpredictable particularly as he is from the Niger Delta. Kachikwu’s recent disagreement with Transport Minister, Rotimi Amaechi, over the Maritime University, would seem to buttress the President’s view of Kachikwu,” our source said. Her appointment as reported by the media generated a lot of disquiet within the civil service cadre as top civil servants and labour unions kicked against the “strange extension” which is in violation of the civil service rules. In the letter, HCSF/351/S.1/76, which extended Shuara’s serviceOyo-Ita said: “This is to inform you that His Excellency, Muhammadu Buhari, President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, in a letter with reference N0. SGF 12/ S.11/C.1/T/2, has extended your retirement period by one (1) year with effect from February 17. “Your emoluments and other conditions of service will remain sustained up to February 16, 2017.” The extension was a violation of the Public Service Rule Number 020810 which says: “(i) The compulsory retirement age for all grades in the service shall be 60 years or 35 years of pensionable service whichever is earlier. “(ii) No officer shall be allowed to remain in service after attaining the retirement age of 60 years or 35 years of pensionable service whichever is earlier. “(iii) The provision of (i) and (ii) of the rule is without prejudice to prevailing requirements for judicial officers and Academic Staff of Universities who retire at 70 and 65 years respectively. “(iv) Provided the officer would not have attained the retirement age of 60 years or spent 35 years of pensionable service whichever is earlier; (a) “a Director shall compulsorily retire upon serving eight years on the post and (b) a Permanent Secretary shall hold office for a term of four years and renewable for a further term of four years, subject to satisfactory performance and no more.” In her February 15 notice of retirement Shu’ara had written: “I write most respectfully to forward to you, my notice of retirement from the Federal Civil Service with effect from February 17 when I shall attain the mandatory age of 60 years, in line with Public Service Rule 100238. “I was employed into the public service May, 1982 as a Lecturer Grade III and rose through the ranks to the position of a Chief Lecturer, and also served as a Head of Department, a Dean of a School, a Deputy Provost and the Provost of a Federal College of Education. Thereafter, I transferred into the Federal Civil Service as an Assistant Director, Education in 1999, and moved up the ladder to a Deputy Director and later a Director in 2008. “I was appointed the Federal Permanent Secretary on the 20th of December 2012, and was deployed to several duty posts including; the Office of the Secretary to Government of the Federation – Special Duties Office; Ministry of Aviation; Ministry of Petroleum Resources, the Federal Ministry of Special Duties & Intergovernmental Affairs and finally back to the Ministry of Petroleum Resources. “I thank the Federal Government of Nigeria, especially His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari for giving me the opportunity of a rich employment and founding me worthy to serve in different capacities. I also thank you ma, for giving me support and encouragement as the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation. “I wish to confirm that I am not in any way indebted to the Federal Government of Nigeria as evidenced in the non-indebtedness form duly endorsed by the Federal Housing Loans Board. “Please accept the assurances of my high regards and consideration.” Credit: Nigerian Times spynigeria.com/2016/06/22/revealed-buhari-illegally-kept-shuara-as-perm-sec-to-spy-on-kachikwu/ |
impactinfluence:Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, along with the Director General of the Department of State Security (DSS) and newspaper publisher Nduka Obaigbena, has commenced a full-scale war against Ibrahim Magu, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). Under the scheme, Magu will be replaced with a man, already identified, who is more amenable to the ways of Mr. Kyari and other kitchen cabinet persons. Sources at the Presidency said there has been a cold war between Magu and members of the President’s kitchen cabinet, who seek to interfere with ongoing corruption cases at the EFCC. Matters reportedly came to a head recently when SaharaReporters did an exposé that revealed how the Chief of Staff perverted an investigation that the commission had commenced against a powerful indigenous oil company, Sahara Energy, with Mr. Kyari directly accusing Magu of being the brain behind the leaking of the story. Related issues of contention include the planned commencement of the trial of Jide Omokore, a shady businessman known to have been involved in multi-billion oil deals with former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Diezani Alison-Madueke. The Chief of Staff had apparently assured Mr. Omokore that he would not be prosecuted by the EFCC. Our sources revealed that Magu’s letter of nomination to the Senate for confirmation was delayed by the Chief of Staff and the Attorney General of the Federation because of Magu’s “intransigence.” On the part of the DSS, sources within the administration say Magu was held to have stepped on their toes by constantly questioning why they usurped the role of EFCC in carrying out raids into the homes of corrupt former government officials, which is the domain of the EFCC. The DSS reportedly raided at least 30 homes of officials and aides of former President Goodluck Jonathan, but only managed to deliver a meager N47m and $1.943m. Worse still, some of the monies recovered were never delivered to the federal government treasury and during reconciliation, some of the foreign currencies were found to be fake. In that connection, the sources cited the February raid on the Abuja home of the son of Ngozi Olojeme, who was axed as Chair of Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund after Buhari came to power. While the DSS agents reportedly found $500,000, only $50,000 was delivered to the Treasury. Olojeme was never prosecuted either, where she would have revealed exactly how much money she lost. The tension between the EFCC and the DSS grew to unimaginable proportions until yesterday when the DSS raided the home of a member of the Arms Probe Committee, Air Commodore Umar Muhammed (rtd.) who reportedly had $1.5million hidden in the premises in Abuja from bribes he purportedly received on behalf of other panel members. The reporting of the story appeared in Thisday newspaper, owned by Nduka Obaigbena , the publisher of which had been forced by the EFCC to return monies he collected from the office of the National Security Adviser for a contract that was never implemented. Knowledgeable sources in government and law enforcement told SaharaReporters last night that Obaigbena was stopped from traveling to the United Kingdom last weekend by airport immigration officials who told him he was on the EFCC no-fly list. The sources say Mr. Kyari, a former member of the Editorial Board of ThisDay, then intervened, following which Obaigbena was eventually allowed to travel the next day. He is now in London. Sources at the EFCC said that by securing Obaigbena’s travels, Mr. Kyari, and the DSS DG apparently obtained his cooperation to commence a media war on the chairperson of the agency. Despite Obaigbena being on the security watch list of the EFCC, Mr. Kyari and Information Minister Lai Mohammed recently organized a high-profile meeting between President Buhari and the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN) at the Presidential Villa in which the publisher featured prominently. Mr. Mohammed had his issues with Magu as well, as the EFCC boss had frozen about N10b in funds of the National Broadcasting Corporation (NBC) as former officials there began last-minute looting. Mohammed intervened to get Magu to unfreeze the account so that it could be used while he awaited approval of his budget, but Magu refused. The minister also reportedly sent a request to the EFCC chairman to return monies retrieved from Obaigbena and other newspaper proprietors who were caught in the $2.1b scandal, but Magu also refused to budge. Furthermore, Mr. Magu and his officials are said to have extended their probe to include others in the media that include another publisher, Comfort Obi, whose account was also frozen. SaharaReporters has it on indisputable authority that the Chief of Staff and Mr. Mohammed took those proprietors to meet with President Buhari, but it is unclear if he gave them any concessions. ThisDay’s role in releasing information about the arrest of the retired Air Commodore accused of receiving a bribe was consolidated as his travel ban was lifted, one source revealed. Speaking to SaharaReporters by phone from London on Wednesday, Obaigbena confirmed that he was actually stopped at the Murtala Muhammad International Airport last Sunday but claimed it was because of an EFCC warrant left at the airport last December. He denied that anyone intervened to facilitate his travel thereafter, but did not state how the warrant was overturned except saying that the head of the Immigration department in Abuja apologized to him by phone. Asked about his relationship with Kyari, he admitted that Kyari once served on the Editorial Board of his newspaper SaharaReporters has learned that DSS is making moves to invite Magu for interrogation and possibly detain him claiming that retired Air Commodore Umar Muhammad from Bauchi took $300k from some persons under corruption probe so that they could hold a meeting with Magu during his visit to IDP camps in Maiduguri two weeks ago. It is unclear if Magu had such meetings. Air Commodore Umar Muhammad appears to be the best shot yet at Magu from the onslaught launched by Abba Kyari and his collaborators. SaharaReporters learnt that the Arms Procurement Investigation Committee had also been fractured along lines of bias, as pressure was mounted on them not to probe a former Chief of Army, Lt General Abdulrahman Bello Dambazau, who is now the Minister of Internal Affairs. Magu and a few others are said to have favored inviting and investigating him. Crying foul, the EFCC in a press statement on Tuesday contended of the ThisDay report linking the agency to corruption associated with retired Air Commodore Umar, that this is simply a case of corruption fighting back . People knowledgeable about the retired Air Commodore said he was married to late oil Minister Rilwan Lukman’s daughter and that he has always lived a flamboyant lifestyle close to former Presidents, including late President Umar Yar’Adua. They characterized him as a conduit for passing funds to other Heads of State and governments in Africa. During former President Jonathan’s era, for instance, he was said to have been a go-between with several African Heads of State, particularly those of Niger and Ghana. He runs a massive office in Abuja where he refers to himself as “Don”. His posh home in Abuja reportedly has at least 50 luxury cars, and he was regularly in the company of high-profile local and international visitors. Former FCT Minister Bala Mohammed was a regular visitor to his home, and he reportedly was involved in passing money to the Chadian government during the botched Boko Haram negotiation involving Hassan Tukur, the former Principal Secretary to President Jonathan, who was arrested two weeks ago. It is unclear how the retired Air Commodore, given such profile, was put on a panel by the Buhari government to investigate high-profile corruption cases. If Magu is removed from the leadership of the EFCC, the Chief of Staff and his collaborators plan to replace him with another police officer so far simply identified as “Abdulrahman,” an instructor at the Nigerian Police College in Kaduna. “Abdulrahman” is said to have once worked with Farida Waziri, during the darkest days of impunity and corruption in Nigeria, and appears to be the kitchen cabinet’s perfect replacement for Magu as they will control him just as Farida was controlled by Umaru Yar’Adua’s Aso Rock gang. The DSS probe, our sources were unanimous, is aimed at generating a report that would end Magu’s tenure. The vultures are gathering now,” a political analyst said in New York on Wednesday. “If Buhari cannot find the conviction to chop off the head of the crocodile he has reared as a pet in Aso Rock,” he continued, “ his anti-corruption claims will be in silent mode by the time he returns from the United Nations General Assembly in September, and will be the laughing stock of the world by the time he reads his Christmas speech.” |

SATIRE: Buhari Blasts Osinbajo For Devaluing Naira, Others #WhileHeWasAway Newsrescue, In an image satirized, president Buhari who just returned to Nigeria on Sunday after an unscheduled 15 day medical departure, is described to be blasting Vice president Yemi Osinbajo for some major policy decisions he over saw while he was Acting President. Buhari says, “Osinbade so because I made you acting, you went and devalue the Naira then sent Kachikwu to beg militants shey??” There is obviously food for thought in this joke.

Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, on Monday revived a controversy surrounding the role played by Aisha, President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, in the messy bribery scandal involving U.S. Congressman, Williams Jefferson. Mr. Fayose distributed a link to the U.S. Department of Justice Web site holding court documents where Mrs. Buhari was alleged to have transferred suspicious funds to a convicted former American congressman, Williams Jefferson. In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Mr. Fayose said President Buhari was far from being a clean man. “Even the President cannot claim to be an angel,” the governor said, in reaction to the freezing of his Zenith Bank account by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission. “The estate he built in Abuja is known to us. His wife was indicted over the Halliburton Scandal (sic). When that American, Jefferson, was being sentenced, the President’s wife was mentioned as having wired $170,000 to Jefferson. Her name was on page 25 of the sentencing of Jefferson. We can serialize the judgment for people to see and read.” The governor’s Special Assistant on New Media, Lere Olayinka, later circulated links to and copies of the court document detailing Mrs Buhari’s mention in the scandal. The documents showed that in some of the exhibits tendered in convicting Mr. Jefferson of bribery, a Mrs. Buhari was mentioned as transferring $170,000 to the American politician using a firm as proxy. “Government Exhibits 36-87 (6/26/02 $170,000 wire transfer from account in Nigeria in the name of Aisha Buhari to an account in the name of The ANJ Group, LLC, identifying “William Jefferson” as Beneficiary),” the U.S. Government Sentencing Memorandum said on page 22. Mrs. Buhari could not be reached for comments. And Presidential spokesman, Femi Adesina, declined comments, saying he would need to check the documents himself before issuing an official statement. Mr. Fayose’s comment sparked a recollection of how Mr. Jefferson, between 2000 and 2005, used his position as member of the U.S. House of Representatives to offer illegal services to private companies for cash rewards. Mr. Jefferson and his family, according to U.S. authorities, received about $367,500 through through his firm, ANJ Group, for services rendered to iGate, an American broadband technology provider. An indigenous firm, Netlink Digital Television, had signed a joint venture with iGate to set up digital satellite TV and broadband Internet services in the country. NDTV was owned by Oyewole Fasawe, a PDP chieftain at the time. Mr. Jefferson was contracted to help promote iGate and NDTV partnership in Nigeria. Following a lengthy trial, Mr. Jefferson was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 13 years in prison. Although Mr. Fasawe was arrested in 2005 by the EFCC, he was never convicted. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar were also said to be a person of interest in the allegations. A report released by the EFCC on June 22, 2006 about the bribery scandal indicated that the commission investigated accounts held by Mrs. Buhari, including one she had with Citizens Bank. A 2007 New York Times’ article detailed how Mrs. Buhari told an acquaintance in Washington that she was a daughter of a former Nigerian head of state and a friend of Mr. Jefferson. “As the pair struck up a conversation and subsequently became friends, Mr. Assiba, then a security guard, said she told him that her father was the former military ruler of Nigeria, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, and that her American friends included politicians like Mr. Jefferson of Louisiana.” www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/205640-fayose-bombs-buhari-revives-president-wifes-alleged-role-in-jefferson-bribery-scandal.html# |
