The blood-stained grave allegedly discovered by one of the teachers and some pupils of the school shortly after the morning assembly, caused great stir and anxiety.

Those who blame us for not delivering maximum votes to the president in the north seem to have forgotten that it’s the people who vote,” he said.

The national chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Adamu Mu’azu, has defended his leadership of the party despite the PDP’s recent loss at the polls, saying he did his best to save President Goodluck Jonathan from defeat.
Mr. Mu’azu broke his silence as the ruling party faces a crisis that follows the disastrous election outing, with many senior members of the party blaming him for the loss, and demanding his resignation.
Writing on his Twitter handle Tuesday, Mr. Mu’azu said those accusing him of not doing his best for Mr. Jonathan were “economical with the truth”.
He said he had remained in the PDP since 1999 “as a matter of principle and strong ideology”.
“I gave my best and all to the campaign of Mr. President and the party. We went to every state in Nigeria to campaign.
“In the face of abuse, insult and open ridicule by our friends and brothers we supported our leader President Jonathan faithfully,” Mr. Mu’azu, a former governor of Bauchi State, said.
The PDP spokesperson, Olisa Metuh, had on Monday said the leadership of the party was sidelined during the campaigns for Mr. Jonathan, while overzealous members preached hate and helped raise the popularity of Muhammadu Buhari, the eventual winner of the presidential polls.
There were reports during the electioneering campaigns that Mr. Mu’azu threatened to resign as Chairman if the PDP campaign continued with its hate speech against Mr. Buhari and the north.
Tweeting Tuesday, Mr. Mu’azu said “the perception of President Jonathan and our party in the north was at an all-time low because of the lies they were told by politicians”.
“Those who blame us for not delivering maximum votes to the president in the north seem to have forgotten that it’s the people who vote,” he said.
Mr. Mu’azu said if the opportunity presents itself again, he would support Mr. Jonathan, adding however that, “I have always preached against ethnicity and tribalism and the voting pattern in the election was a concern to me personally.
“If I had my way, everyone in my state ‘Bauchi’ would have voted for President Jonathan but it’s the people that vote not me.
“The unity of Nigeria to me is greater than sectional or ethnic interests. I can never regret supporting our leader President Jonathan,” he said.
The PDP Chairman said if the party is to be reformed, solution to its problems should be found. He said those pointing accusing fingers at the leadership of the party are not helping it.
On the allegations that the NWC he heads betrayed Mr. Jonathan during the election, Mr. Mu’azu said “some even ridiculed and insulted us that we betrayed President Jonathan. How can one betray himself?”

Akure—THE embattled 73-year-old deputy governor of Ondo state Alhaji Ali Olanusi who was impeached last week has been appointed as a member of the Board of Trustees, BoT, of the All Progressive Congress, APC.

This was contained in a letter signed by the secretary of the Party’s National Executive Committee, NEC, Hon. Mai Bala Buni.
Buni said Olanusi’s appointment as a BoT member took effect from July 4, last year.
The impeached deputy governor defected to the APC barely 24 hours to the last March 28 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
Alhaji Olanusi was later impeached following allegations of gross misconduct by the House of Assembly.
He has since been replaced by the former Agriculture Commissioner, Alhaji Lasisi Oluboyo.
The appointment of the former deputy governor looks like compensation for his ordeal after his defection from the PDP.
However, the new BoT member has vowed to challenge the impeachment process in law court with his new position.
His appointment as a member of the party’s highest decision making body would last for four years.
The appointment letter said that within the four-year tenure, the former Deputy Governor would work with other members of BoT to develop the party.
It advised him to liaise with other members of the board to work for the progress, unity and development of the party.
Olanusi the letter stressed would work within the ambit of the constitution of the APC and take decisions objectively on behalf of the party in the interest and growth of the members.

ABUJA — THE leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has washed its hands off the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan in the last presidential election, blaming it on what it described as the tactlessness of the President’s hand-picked campaign team led by Dr. Ahmadu Ali.
The party directly blamed the hate campaign launched against the All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential candidate, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari for the defeat.

The National Working Committee, NWC, of the party also, yesterday, dismissed reports of profiting from the N9 billion raised for the party’s campaigns, affirming its readiness to defend the N30 million paid to each NWC member which it claimed was approved by the President.
Contacted on the development, spokesman of the Presidential Campaign Organisation, PCO, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, promised to comment on the issues today.
Addressing journalists, yesterday, in Abuja, the PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh, while exonerating the party from Jonathan’s failure, traced the defeat to the exclusion of the party and its leadership from running of the campaign. Metuh said even advice was ignored by those that ran the campaign.
Blames PDP’s failure on hate campaign against Buhari
Metuh particularly blamed the hate campaign by the Presidential Campaign Committee which resulted in the failure of the party, saying members of the NWC did not play any significant part in the 2015 presidential campaign of the party.
He said the abysmal performance of the party in the North was a result of the hate campaign adopted and executed by the party’s PCO against the APC and its presidential candidate, Buhari.
The denial follows recent reports of pressure on the NWC to resign from office on account of the loss of the presidency to the APC.
Jonathan failed because party was not carried along
Denying the culpability of the party leadership,

Metuh said:
“We did not lead the party to failure, we were not involved in the campaigns and our advice was ignored. If we had handled the campaign, Mr. President would have won the election. We cannot be held responsible when our advice was ignored.”
Noting the issue of the hate campaign against Buhari, he said:
“Let me say this. In 2003, President Obasanjo ran an election against Odumegwu-Ojukwu in the South-East. In 2007, Yar’Adua ran election against Ojukwu. I can tell you, if PDP had engaged in name calling or abused Ojukwu in any way, PDP would have lost the elections in the South-East.”
Reacting to an online report that NWC members shared part of the presidential campaign funds among themselves, he said the NWC was never involved in the disbursement of campaign funds as he revealed that the party spent over N4 billion to sponsor their candidates in the presidential, governorship, National Assembly and Houses of Assembly elections.
N9bn generated from sale of expression of interest and nomination forms
According to Metuh, the party generated about N9 billion from the sale of expression of interest and nomination forms from aspirants to various offices on the platform of the party for the 2015 elections.
He said the party, out of the money generated, donated N500 million to the presidential campaign fund last December and gave out N100 million to each of the 29 gubernatorial candidates on the April 11 governorship election.
According to him, “we sponsored our House of Assembly candidates. The money was passed through the governors or through ministers and gubernatorial candidates in states where PDP has no sitting governor.”
Metuh, who disclosed that the party got approval from President Jonathan for all the expenditures, expressed the readiness of the NWC to make public its account, saying:
“For the avoidance of doubt, we wish to state categorically that this national leadership has remained very transparent in all its dealings since coming into office.
“No NWC member has been involved in any way in any sleaze or embezzlement of party funds. Also, no member of the NWC has ever been accused of embezzlement of funds in any ministry, department or agencies of government at any level whatsoever.”
On N30m paid to NWC members
On the allegation of N30 million paid to each member of the NWC, Metuh said:
“We state clearly that we have not been given any money, rather this NWC generated billions of naira from the sale of forms from where we funded our candidates for governorship and state assembly elections in all the states of the federation in addition to funds released to key leaders including NWC and BoT members to prosecute the campaigns in their various areas. The PDP spokesman, who explained that the NWC members had no knowledge of how the money voted for the PDP presidential campaign was spent, said the N30 million paid to NWC members received the approval of President Jonathan, saying it was meant for furniture, medical and other allowances accruable to members in the last three years.
“The NWC is willing and ready to make this account public in line with the Freedom of Information law.
“In the attempt to discredit the NWC, these elements pushed out series of misleading information to the unsuspecting public alleging that the party leadership mismanaged the presidential campaign funds, leading to the poor performance in the polls and as such NWC should be made to resign.
“When this wicked and baseless allegation was debunked by the NWC, which publicly clarified that it was not involved in the handling of the campaign and its funding, and that such were exclusively managed by the Presidential Campaign Organisation appointed by the President, these divisive elements in their desperation came up with another allegation claiming that the leadership embezzled funds belonging to the party.
“Even after the NWC also debunked this despicable allegation, showing that the party’s funds were judiciously appropriated for our state election campaigns Organisation appointed by the President, these divisive elements in their desperation came up with another allegation claiming that the leadership embezzled funds belonging to the party.
“Even after the NWC also debunked this despicable allegation, showing that the party’s funds were judiciously appropriated for our state election campaigns, this group resorted to labelling the NWC with attempts to instigate President Jonathan, PDP governors and other well-meaning members of our party against the national leadership.
“This is in addition to recent sponsored publications accusing the NWC of corruption with claims that members shared monies generated from the sale of forms from aspirants for the general elections.”
No crisis in PDP national leadership
Metuh, who said the party had resolved its differences following the intervention of President Jonathan, the PDP governors and other key stakeholders of the party including governors and legislators elected, disclosed that PDP was joining forces with the NWC in its efforts at re-engineering and rebuilding the party as well as repositioning it to regain power in 2019.
NWC insists its tenure expires March 2016
He said:
“On this note, we wish to state clearly that there is no crisis in the national leadership of the PDP. The National Working Committee under the chairmanship of Ahmadu Adamu Mu’azu is duly elected and is fully in control of the administration of the party until the expiration of its tenure in March 2016 in line with the provisions of the constitution of our great party.”
We’re pained, we helped you to power, PDP tells Fayose
Meanwhile, the NWC has expressed shock that Governor Ayodele Fayose would join the chorus of those seeking the dissolution of the body after the national leadership made way for his emergence as the party’s governorship flag bearer in the Ekiti State governorship contest last year.
Metuh said it was least expected of him, having enjoyed the support of the same body to regain power.
He said: “The National Secretary of the party, Professor Oladipo, has already replied appropriately. But we feel pained by Governor Fayose’s action.”
“This is a man that got total support from the NWC during the governorship primaries in Ekiti State.
“At a stage, some stakeholders in the state wanted him to be excluded from partaking in the party primaries, but we in the NWC stood our ground that due process must be allowed. Through our internal democracy, he eventually won the ticket and we mobilised funds for his election, we give glory to God, he won the election.
“We are pained that such a man we supported so much could come around and call for our sack because of the outcome of an election not due to our faults.”

“After getting their captives pregnant, they keep them to allow the pregnancy mature to an extent of say four or more months to make abortion difficult or impossible for the women due to threats in carrying out abortions at that level. They abandon the women afterwards to go and give birth anywhere else

I am surprised he didn't mention Tinubu/APC as the sponsors of the crisis!

Idiotic party with a Useless President! I feel like sweeping them away immediately!!!

“We hereby wish to alert the general public and all our members that the main agenda of these elements is not only to hijack the national leadership but also to create an impression of division and crisis and pave the way to lure some of our elected members to decamp to other parties apparently in view of the recent ruling of the Supreme Court which allows defection in the event of leadership crisis at their party’s national level

Both Michelle and Vivian are liars and useless. They didn't have money to make it home from National Open University to Ajah; and had to crash in a MALE classmates room? How much does it cost even for a cab from that school to Ajah? You live in Lagos, and you got stranded in Lagos?

She recalled: “Michelle told our mother that I connived with boys to get her drunk and raped. I didn’t even know anything happened that day in that house.

The police said they would give me drugs to terminate the pregnancy. They threatened me endlessly. My parents hit me several times. They said my husband abducted me.”

"Against the backdrop of the insinuations that Lai Mohameed/ACN is a Bokoharam political wing/spokesperson"

The latter abradacabra you highlighted does not in anyway exonerate Lai Mohameed from soliciting for Bokoharam as the content suggested,

If all your intelligence can afford is taking Lai Mohameed hot-airs as playing opposition politics, then there is a problem somewhere along your line of reasoning that needs correcting.
