That's politics for you, If not because of the beef he had with Jonathan, He would have been the number one person singing Jonathan's praise. I'm not surprised.

A former governor of Bayelsa State, Timipre Sylva, says his kinsman, President Goodluck Jonathan, does not deserve a second term.
Sylva said this Sunday night while featuring on a Channels Television programme tagged "Politics Today" which was monitored by our correspondent.
Sylva, who is a chieftain of the All Progressives' Congress (APC), said the nation's economy was in shambles under Jonathan's watch.
He said apart from failing to strengthen the country's currency in the wake of the global oil price slump, the Jonathan-led government had also failed to tackle oil theft.
According to Sylva, the APC presidential candidate, retired General Muhammadu Buhari, has what it takes to deal with the issues.
"Buhari tackled oil theft in 1984. The government has said oil theft is one of the biggest problems, but it doesn't know what to do about it. We need somebody like Gen. Buhari to come in and tackle these issues", he said.
Sylva also alleged that the fight against the Boko Haram terrorist group had been ineffective under Jonathan, saying Buhari has what it takes to tackle terrorism.
He said: "Ethnicity doesn't influence my reason for supporting Buhari. Nigeria's biggest problem today is Boko Haram. Before, it was militancy and a lot of Nigerians felt that somebody from that area should be president. So, it would be better now for somebody from the north who understand the issues around that area to be president. The fight against Boko Haram has been ineffective and General Buhari has the effectiveness to deal with it".
The former governor also alleged that the People's Democratic Party (PDP) had failed the people of Jonathan's home state of Bayelsa, claiming that the APC is on ground there.
He said the people of Niger Delta would not vote Jonathan in 2015, claiming that they had realised that the president had not brought development to the region.
He alleged that Jonathan had not brought any federal presence to Bayelsa State apart from the University of Otuoke which, he described as a glorified secondary school.
"Niger Delta people are one of the most disenchanted people. The East-West Road is still where it has been. There is nothing that tells you that there is federal presence in Bayelsa, apart from University of Otuoke which is a glorified secondary school. The mindset of the people of Niger Delta is that you don't have to have your person before you have development. The development we have in Niger Delta was not made by a Niger Delta president. We are ready to vote anybody who is ready for the development of Nigeria and Niger Delta", Sylva said.

A former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika, has instituted a N100bn libel suit against a self-styled Australian hostage negotiator, Stephen Davies,‎ for accusing him (Ihejirika) of sponsoring the Boko Haram insurgent group.
Ihejirika filed the suit before a Federal Capital Territory High Court in Abuja.
He is through his team of lawyers, comprising, Chief Nnoruka Udechukwu (SAN), Prof. C.U. Ilegbune, (SAN) and Ben Anechebe (SAN), seeking N100bn as aggravated damages for defamation.
The plaintiff’s lawyers said their client has suffered ‎grievous wrong and he has been exposed to scandal, odium, ridicule, humiliation and his character, credit and reputation brought into disrepute, both in Nigeria and abroad.
He had obtained an order of court to serve the process on the defendant abroad.
His lawyers have also on the strength of the court order applied to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enable them to serve Davis who lives on Perth, Australia.
Australia and Nigeria are members of the Commonwealth and a special procedure applies when serving court processes on defendant.
Ihejirika is also seeking an order of perpetual injunction restraining Davis or his agents from further making defamatory comments about him.
He also seeks an order compelling the defendant to publish a dull and unqualified retraction and apology conspicuously in the front page of a newspaper to assuage the plaintiff for the said false malicious and libelous publication.
Ihejirika said that he retired meritoriously ‎from the military after a successful career and that he served the army without blemish.
He stated, “On or about the 28th day of August 2014, the defendant granted a multimedia and television interview broadcast to AriseTv‎, which aired in Nigeria, particularly in Abuja, and subsequently published by numerous newspapers and media houses; wherein the defendant when asked during the AriseNews segment of the interview to name the sponsors of the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria, falsely and maliciously spoke of the plaintiff in the following words, to wit:
‘There is the former Chief of Army Staff, retired January, or actually sacked by the President he is another sponsor. I could give you the names if you like but I have no fear that these were very confident and it is in fact Boko Haram senior commanders who have been naming them.”
He said that the spoken words and publication in their ordinary meaning were ‎understood by reasonable members of the society who listened or watched ‎ the said AriseNews broadcast in Abuja to mean that he sponsored Boko Haram, a terrorist sect to wage war, insurrection or insurgency against Nigeria.
He also said that the publication implied that he did not retire but was sacked by the President and that he had committed treason or treason able felony.
Ihejirika said the public who listened to the broadcast believed that ‎he had conducted himself in a manner tantamount to breach of his oath of allegiance and service as a soldier and senior officer in the Nigerian Army.
In an affidavit he deposed to, Ihejirika said he had suffered grievous wrong and had been exposed to scandal, odium,ridicule, humiliation and that his character, credit and reputation brought into disrepute, both in Nigeria and abroad.

Nigeria’s foreign reserves have continued their downward slide, falling by $544 million in the last one week, in spite of the devaluation of the nation’s currency.

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) data obtained from its website indicated that the nation’s foreign reserves stood at $35,740,495,640 as at December 11, but tumbled to $35,196,352,296 as at last week, December 18.

This is coming on the heels of the devaluation of the Naira by eight per cent by the apex bank which has been defending the currency using the nation’s reserves.

The CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, had disclosed that the bank had spent a huge chunk of the external reserves in defending the Naira from falling, adding that the best thing to do was to devalue it.

The governor said: “The CBN took the decision that it would be sub-optimal to continue to heavily deplete the country’s reserves in defending the Naira. This decision was appropriate because neither the Central Bank nor the Federal Government is in control of the major factors causing the depreciation of the nation’s currency.

“In fact, the Russian Central Bank has abandoned its defence of the currency and allowed the depreciation of the currency, but only after it was said to have spent over $90 billion in defending the currency over a couple of months.”

Minister of Finance and Co-ordinating Minister for the Economy, Ngozi Okonjo Iweala, however, said there was no cause for alarm as the current level was still better than three months coverage required by the West African Monetary Zone.

“Despite the depletion in the level of external reserves, Nigeria is still in a comfortable zone. This is because the level of our reserves is able to cover more months of imports when compared with the three months requirement under the convergence criteria of the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ).

“In addition, Nigeria’s external reserve level is able to cover more months of imports than the sub-Saharan Africa,” she had stated.

pendy79:
It is not even about the court stopping the probe but the frogged eye thief who sees no need to go defend her action of spending N10bn to hire private jet for her personal use. If she feels her need for private jet was justified , why can't she go explain the urgency of the need to spend that huge sum for hiring private jet.

Aregbesola spent N9.5bn to build 15 model secondary school in Osun, the total monthly allocation from.the FG to Osun is 2.5bn n a minister spent N10bn to hire a private jet for her use.

Why do people wish for JONATAN to continue ruling this country with all this revelation? Is Nigeria cursed ni?

dre11:
