Femi Adesina should know that his Principal is not a private citizen. He is the President of Nigeria. He did not elect himself into office. Nigerians elected him and thus deserves to know what ails him. Femi is wrong here.

He is embarassing Africa, period. And you know it.

its sad. i think Nigeria is hopeless.. and am serious


i grew up in East Africa in the 90s . Tanzania to be precise


they took.light 3 times in 6years. and first time i saw a generator was in Nigeria

Light is not something we should be grappling with after 57 years

Mal-administration and leadership ineptitude accentuated by corruption is the bane of Nigeria. Unfortunately, Buhari is now among the leadership deficit ailing the country. He cannot lift a finger to salvage the situation. In actual fact, current rating after two years in office places him among the worst leader to have ruled this country. Election year 2019 can't come fast enough.

Where is Mr Rocket Science?

I can recall him being so prominent in the news a couple of years ago. Now he's invisible.

Minister of Darknesss! Nonsense. And to imagine that he is still controlling three Ministries! Buhari is a joke.

Only in Nigeria! Politics is now a thriving occupation. Only in Nigeria!

They jerked up the budget by N143 billion and appropriated a large chunk to themselves. Issokay!

If the VP had stopped at '...like a brother...', there would have been no problem, but '...like a son..'? This is absolute crap, infantile, childlike and taking croynism to a ridiculous level! Osinbajo must be a joke to have said this. Damn!

coolzeal:
Take a closer look at almost all the billionaires in other continents, they made their wealth through innovations, in other words, tech, science etc. In Nigeria, billionaires are either politicians , their cronies and friends holding onto power and looting of public funds. These people lack creative mind and sit on tight to those who possess that might. quite pathetic.

If there are harsher laws to check corruption, politicians will not dream of stealing the country blind.

Cash lodged in Rep’s account through proxy

EFCC places restriction on NGF’s N8b, $80m

Detectives have traced $ 3 million of the controversial London-Paris Club loan refund to a governor, The Nation learnt yesterday.

The cash is believed to be part of the N19billion illegally deducted from the refund by the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF), according to Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) sources.



The cash has been found in the account of a member of the House of Representatives who got it through a proxy, the lawmaker’s brother. Both were not available for comments.

The $3million is being spent on building a 100-room hotel in Lagos, which the governor may forfeit to the Federal Government.

Also, the EFCC has placed a restriction on N8billion and $80million in the naira and dollar accounts of the NGF.

The Presidency has released N1. 266.44trillion to the 36 states in the past one year. The cash includes N713.70billion special intervention funds to states.

Following protests by states against over deduction for external debt service between 1995 and 2002, President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the release of N522.74 billion (first tranche) to states as refund pending reconciliation of records.

Each state was entitled to a cap of N14.5 billion being 25% of the amounts claimed.



Finance Minister Mrs. Kemi Adeosun said the payment would enable states to offset outstanding salaries and pension which had been “causing considerable hardship”.

The governors sought for the refund to states and local governments at a meeting with President Buhari on May 24, last year.

A source, who spoke in confidence with our correspondent, said: “The EFCC is still investigating the N19billion allegedly diverted from the loan refund. The commission has so far interrogated 15 companies, more than 10 individuals and over eight bureaux de change used to divert the cash.

“The latest bend of the investigation is the discovery of $3million linked with another governor who benefited from the illegal deduction. The governor had engaged a member of the House of Representatives(who was also a former commissioner) to launder his share.

”The lawmaker was said to have wired the $3million into his brother’s account before moving it into his own.

“Upon interrogation, one of the suspects admitted that the cash was for the ongoing construction of a 100-room hotel for the governor.

“About $500,000 of the $3million has been recovered by the EFCC. It is a scam in which many people benefited and a sizeable number of proxies used to launder the funds,” the source said.

The $3million was transferred to the lawmaker for the governor from the $86million in the NGF’s domiciliary account.

“We will do our best to recover the already diverted part of the $3million. We may also apply for the forfeiture of the hotel to the Federal Government,” the source said, pleading not to be named so as not to jeopardise the investigation.

The $86million is said to be for the payment of consultants who worked for the refund for the 35 states. But none of the consultants has been paid. Some of them have already gone to court.

The source added: “The EFCC has placed a Post No Debit restriction on the NGF’s account with N8billion and domiciliary account with $80million.

“Out of the $86million, $3million was wired to the governor through a proxy and another $2million shared out.

“The EFCC is ready to lift the restriction on the two accounts of the NGF on a condition that the consultants and legal advisers who deserve to be paid will be given what they are entitled to in line with the agreement signed with the NGF.

“We want the NGF to involve the EFCC in the disbursement to avoid another diversion of the cash. As it is now, consultants and legal advisers are complaining that they are being shortchanged by the governors.”

The EFCC had earlier traced about N500million, which was meant for a consultant, to the account of a governor.

The cash has been retrieved

Corruption thrives in Nigeria because there are no harsher laws to check the menace.

The verdict is a foregone conclusion. Following Supreme Court decisions in the past in this regard, Ikpeazu will be retained as Governor. Don't expect anything different.

Several high-ranking sources at the Presidency confirmed to SaharaReporters that the decision to use the phrase, “the Vice President will coordinate the activities of the Government,” instead of expressing what the Constitution stipulates, that the Vice President becomes “Acting President” with the transmission of the letter, was singularly taken by Mr. Kyari

Story! Is Abba Kyari or whatever he is called indispensable? Who the hell is Abba Kyari? He should be removed from office forthwith!

Tinubu is so much in the news these days. What's going on?

RIP to the baby, but why blame Ambode? People should know that it is not by force to stay in Lagos.
The Lagos traffic will cause the death of your babies; go back to your villages where there are not traffic. It is not by force you stay in Lagos.

The other day, after the Redemmed church programme, some people where blaming Pastor Adeboye and the Ogun state government for the gridlock on the Lagos-Ibadan road, and I told them that it is not by force you stay in Lagos or Ogun state. Go back to your villages !!

Shallow thinking!

It is very clear that Buhari is medically incapacitated to rule the country. NASS should do the needful and not wait on Nigerians to remind them of their constitutional duty in this regard.

http://www.signalng.com/buhari-appointing-osinbajo-coordinator-impeachable-offence-adegboruwa/

Adegboruwa is correct in his submissions save for the impeachment angle. PMB cannot make his Vice a mere coordinator of government activities while he travels abroad indefinitely for some medical follow up. The cabal should not ridicule the office of the Vice President. Despite the wordings of the letter, Osinbajo remains the Ag. President as envisaged by the Constitution.

This has been long in coming. Overdue.

It simply means the cabals will rule while the VC will coordinate on cabals instructions

By the way, who are these cabals? Are they recognised by the Constitution? Away with cabals!

Jacksparr0w127:
Mere commissioner now mere coordinator

Chai! Osinbajo don suffer. Imagine? A whole Professor of law now a mere co-ordinator of government activities! Na wa oo.

Balkan:
he cannot be addressed again as the acting president.

That's obviously the implication. The Press will address him as 'Co-ordinator of Government activities, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo' while reporting his itinerary.

DONSMITH123:
President Muhammadu Buhari has told Nigerians that he is confident that his administration will run smoothly, despite his indefinite absence.

Buhari left the country Sunday night for further medical check-ups in the UK, after meeting the 82 released Chibok girls in Aso Villa.

Amid fresh concerns about his health, the President has now assured Nigerians.

“As I noted earlier, I have absolute confidence that government will continue to run smoothly while I’m away. God bless the Federal Republic,” he tweeted via his @MBuhari handle.

Buhari has handed over the reins of power to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

The President’s media aide, Femi Adesina, admitted that the duration of his principal’s stay in London, would be determined by the doctors.

This does not amount to speaking to Nigerians. Quite a misleading headline!

About time! NASS should do the needful. Power should be transferred to Obasanjo for seamless administration of the country.

A 39 year old man was elected yesterday to lead France. In Africa, sit-tight rulers who are past their primes abound.

President Muhammadu Buhari travelled to London on Sunday night for an indefinite medical follow-up. This is coming 57 days after the president returned to the country after a 49-day medical vacation in London.

Nigerian netizens have reacted differently to this new development. See below;

Source; http://www.nationalhelm.net/2017/05/see-what-nigerians-are-saying-about.html

After 57 days in Nigeria, Buhari is off to London again. One will wonder why he was rushed back home in the first place without completing his medical treatment abroad? Can Nigeria afford a 'very' sick President at this time? Is it not time Buhari relinguishes his hold on power to take care of his health? There are many things an Ag. President cannot do because he is not the President. Can Nigeria move forward in this way? Now, return date of the President is unknown.
