Mohammed Morsi was the democratically elected president of Egypt before he was ousted by the military which brought phantom charges against him. FFK should stop turning history upside down.

Corruption: I’ll Surrender My Immunity If Found Guilty, Says New Oyo state Governor.

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKJUN 10, 2019

Governor Seyi Makinde of Oyo State says his administration will soon establish an anti-corruption agency in the state and that he is ready to give up his immunity if found guilty of any corrupt practices.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Mr. Taiwo Adisa, quoted the governor as saying this on Sunday during a two-day induction programme organised for members-elect of the 9th Oyo State House of Assembly.

He said the plan for the establishment of the agency was part of his administration’s readiness to fight graft.

He disclosed that the lawmakers would get a bill seeking to establish the Oyo State Anti-Corruption Agency immediately after the inauguration.

According to the statement, when the agency is established, it will be empowered to beam its searchlight on individuals and government institutions in the state.

Makinde expressed readiness to waive his immunity and appear before the agency if found wanting.

“The first Executive Bill we are bringing to you is for us to set up an Anti-Corruption Agency for Oyo State. And I will waive my immunity, if I am found not to be above board, to face that agency,” he stated.

The governor also promised to work with the state assembly to guarantee financial autonomy to local government administration.

On security, Makinde said his government was determined to make the state one of the safest in the country by coming up with measures to tame insecurity.

He disclosed that his government already had a blueprint on the security sector, adding that his colleagues in the South/West were also working in the same direction.

According to him, the decision to proscribe the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) a few days after taking office was borne out of the resolve to ensure that the state was not held to ransom by a few individuals.

He implored the members-elect to work towards a cordial relationship with the executive.

Makinde disclosed that his administration had four major areas to focus on, which included economy, agriculture, poverty alleviation and infrastructure development.

“We want to expand our economy and lift as many of our people as possible out of poverty.

“We want to use agriculture to expand the economy. It is not by just saying it; we have to see real action and most of our infrastructure will be made to target our economy and we need to work together on this,” the governor stated.

Oyo State Government has said that the chairmen of the 33 Local Government Areas (LGAs) and 35 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) were sacked because the election that led to their emergence was illegal.
Speaking with journalists in Ibadan on Friday, Chief Bisi Ilaka, the Chief of Staff to Gov. Seyi Makinde, justified the action of the state government.
Ilaka said that the local government election that was conducted by the last dispensation was illegal as it contravened court order.
He said, “The new administration in the state is committed to rewrite all the wrongs of the last administration.
”We have nothing to hide and this government is waiting for them to challenge the decision of this administration.”
He said the Seyi Makinde led government was ready to obey court orders that were valid.
”All security agencies have been informed about the development,” Ilaka added.

Why he no kuku marry their mother join?

RIP, Good man.

Check your diet. You may be allergic to some food.

Some political undertones here, Mr Abati. It's a good advice though. But you only picked on the apc politicians so as to whip
up sentiment against them. Remember all politicians make promises. I remain your
fan notwithstanding

Hi Nissanparts, Kudos for the good work. Pls I need headlight bulbs and pointer bulbs for my 06 infinity g35x. Can you give me price ideas. Thanks.

The sentence is too severe. It shows that the judge believes the superstition that voodoo works

The PDP gubernatorial candidate Engr Seyi Makinde has said that the Ajimobi administration has no intention and will not pay the promised part payment of the outstanding gratuity and pension arrears to retired primary school teachers and local government Workers.

In a statement signed by Prince Dotun Oyelade on his behalf, a government that could deceive workers with uncompensated promotion for so long, a governor that could ask dying pensioners if they do not have successful children to take care of them, cannot keep a promise three days before an election.

Makinde was quoted as saying, ‘ No! Ajimobi has not done anything to secure the confidence of workers. He will not pay and Bayo Adelabu knows it. He wants to get your votes on saturday and design his own set of lies and excuses as to why they cannot pay’

They both have the Machiavellian mindset and enjoy working together in dubious enterprise as long as it works for their ambition

OYO 2019: WHY I SUPPORT MAKINDE - LANLEHIN

In the last few days, the idea of coalition was midwifed by some opposition parties to rescue Oyo State, and its people, from the claws of oppression and injustice, and to restore their pride, progress and prosperity;

It is a statement of facts that Oyo state citizens in the past eight years have been subjected to untold hardship through the maladministration of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC); whose actions and inactions, has ensured dividends of democracy is alien to our people;

Having then submitted to that coalition arrangement, and agreed to decisions reached thereto, after series of meetings and consultations, I, Senator Olufemi Lanlehin (SOLAN), Oyo State ADC governorship candidate, do hereby officially decline from contesting Saturday's governorship poll, and in equal measure, endorse Engr Seyi Makinde, governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP);

Though a tough decision, considering the human and material resources, as well as time, already expended in pursuance of my governorship bid, not minding the contacts and tours already made to the 33 local governments of the state, it is my firm belief, that no sacrifice is too much, in the total liberation of our state from the clutches of godfathers and capitalists headquartered outside Oyo State, and its subsequent return to the masses of our people;

This decision, without doubt, is in the interest of our state, our people, and the continued progress of our land;

It is to be noted however, that though I have willingly decided to forgo my governorship ambition in the interest of posterity and service, let me add, that all House of Assembly candidates on the platform of our party, the African Democratic Congress (ADC), retain my total support, and are still contesting to win their various constituencies, as this alliance is totally for the purposes of securing the governorship;

Finally, therefore, I implore all my loyalists, supporters, friends, and well wishers, as well as members of the Oyo ADC to vote Engr Seyi Makinde of the PDP as Oyo State governor on Saturday, 9 March, 2019, and House of Assembly candidates for ADC in the 32 constituencies of Oyo State.

Thank you.

The gubernatorial candidate of the PDP in Oyo state, Engr Seyi Makinde has challenged his APC counterpart to name one thing he has done for the muslim community before he showed interest in the governorship race.

In a statement from his campaign organisation and signed by his spokesman, Prince Dotun Oyelade, Makinde said that if Adelabu names one, he will name a dozen.

He regretted the unfounded and despicable lies being spread that he hates muslims and will stop the use of Hijab or return schools to Missionary when the reverse is the case.

He asked, "Where was Adelabu when I started organizing my popular Omituntun annual Ramadan Lecture six years ago to promote Islam and peaceful co-existence . Where was he when, for several years now, I have been sponsoring Muslim to Mecca.'?
Makinde said that while Adelabu did not make up his mind which religion he actually wanted to be identified with, " I have been adding value to the propagation of both religion without any fuss yet I am a christian with a devoted and renowned Muslim deputy, Alhaji Abdul Rauf Aderemi Olaniyan who has contributed to the growth of Muslims and Islam more than Adelabu has ever done.
Makinde asked rhetorically, " Bayo, we know ourselves, how many months ago did you actually decide to identify with Islam?"
While he admitted that the APC candidate reserves the rights to chose his path in life, corporate lies and mudslinging is a sin before God.

I have also attended several Islamic oriented meetings at instances of Aare Musulumi of Yoruba Land, Alhaji Daud Akinola, League of Imams and Alfa, Muslim Association of Nigeria, Nasfat to mention a few where i tabled before them my Blueprint and it received applause.

He reiterated that people should stop mixing religion with politics and look for merit on how to overcome grinding poverty which doesn't recognize religious divides" I believe I have the capacity to rescue the state from brink of collapse.

Useless and needless protest. Don't they have their PVCs?

May his soul continue to rest in peace. Amin

Why not now?

I have to be back here to say thank you to initiator of this thread. My 35gx infiniti car is now back on the road after the gear box was fixed and NOT replaced. Instead of the recommended maticj which is a dextron 3 atf, I opted for equivalent Oando dextron 3. Everything seems fine so far after one week.
The mechanic is one painstaking individual who knows the job.
Once again, thank you Sooperrescue.

The higher the salary, the bigger the tithe. Seriously speaking. N30,000 is a mere stipend. Governments need to do even better.

Life is always short for cultits. Renounce cultism today.

At least she will be able to tell the world in writing her life story especially why she didn't get educated until now.

sooperrescue:
Most likely it will be the valve body of the gear. Some good guys can service it well. You must have probably used the wrong oil hence it has destroyed the drive fibers. So two scenarios but repair is better than replacing. I once made the mistake of changing the gearbox on a G35 instead of fixing it. Till date, I have not been refunded my money and 3 years down the road. Let them check it out before you conclude.

Ok sir. Thanks greatly for your time. I appreciate that.

sooperrescue:
Total Mvlv is sold for 3500 a litre and you should be looking at 7 to 8 litres

One more question sir. Please can you tell me what average cost of repair could be. Sorry to bother you again.

Thanks a lot my brother.

sooperrescue:
Total now has dexron 6 and very suitable for your car. Buy from their outlet. Repair is better if you have a good technician

Thank you very much brother. God bless you. Please do you have an idea how many litres I would require and how much per litre. Thanks

Good morning Engineer. Thanks for the brilliant job. My Infiniti g35x car has just developed gear problem. It does reverse but not drive. Someone told me he can fix it. My questions: Should I repair or replace? 2. Is there a close alternative to matic j. Thanks in advance.

Everyone should get on board and quickly too. The police can find the victim if they move quick enough. Wish she remains safe.
