On Sunday, armed police officers cordoned off the lanes leading to the entrance of party’s secretariat at Wuse zone 5.
The officers sprawled around the premises of the secretariat.
The presence of the police at the PDP headquarters followed the “confusion” at the party’s national convention in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
While Ali Modu Sheriff, who had moved to stop the convention, was sacked as the PDP national chairman, Ahmed Makarfi, a former governor of Kaduna state, was chosen as the interim chairman of the party.
Sheriff, who failed in his bid to stop the convention, maintained that he was still the chairman of the PDP, and he described resolutions at the convention as a nullity.
Meanwhile, a faction of the PDP, led by Jerry Gana, former minister of information, held a parallel convention in Abuja also on Saturday.
Consequently, the deployment of a detachment of police officers is to prevent a break down of order in the event of a clash between the rival factions.

Devaluation of the naira will not feature on the agenda of the monetary policy committee (MPC) of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) holding on May 23-24, TheCable can report.
This will come as a surprise to many analysts who were expecting adjustment in the official exchange rate following the decision of the federal government to increase petrol price from N86.50 to N145 per litre in “partial deregulation”.
Official devaluation was thought to be next on the card to create some stability in the forex market and narrow the gap between the CBN and secondary rates.
There are also proposals that the CBN should open a second window — called the autonomous foreign exchange market (AFEM) — to encourage independent forex inflows at a rate closer to market realities.
While the CBN officially fixes the dollar at N197, the interbank sells at N285 and the black market goes for N346.
The federal government had asked oil marketers to resume fuel importation to ease the burden on NNPC and end persistent queues at the filling stations.
As part of the agreement, the marketers were asked to source forex from the secondary market and price imported products accordingly.
This had sent the parallel market into a frenzy, with the naira selling for as high as N360 as currency speculators took position ahead of an expected official devaluation.
“It is not going to happen. There will be no devaluation,” a senior CBN official told TheCable.
“However, with inflation on the rise, expect an increase in the MPR (monetary policy rate).”
The MPR is the rate at which CBN lends to the banks, which then determines the rate the banks lend to their customers.
It was increased from 11% to 12% in March, and there are indications it may go as high as 14% this week, effectively making loans more expensive for businesses as part of efforts to check excessive liquidity in the system.
On the proposed AFEM, the CBN official told TheCable that it was a “good option” but said there are yet no safeguards in place in case the expected forex inflow does not materialise.
“The thinking behind AFEX is that if this window opens, there will be inflow of forex through Diaspora remittances, foreign portfolio investment and export proceeds. The rate will not be determined by the CBN but by the forces operating within AFEX,” he explained.
“However, there are no guarantees that these funds will come in, or if inflows will be significant enough. The foreign investor will be asking himself: if I bring my money into Nigeria through AFEX, if I want to get out, will I be able to get my money back at AFEX?
“They will still look up to the CBN to offer guarantees, so we cannot just jump into the autonomous arrangement for now. There must be safeguards in place.”

The Kogi state chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has written to John Odigie-Oyegun, the national chairman, vowing never to have anything to do with Yahaya Bello, the governor, again. They accused Bello of giving power back to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) through the back door, alleging that all the 45 appointments made so far were from the ousted ruling party. At the meeting held on Monday and attended by 33 state exco members and the 21 LGA party chairmen, the party leaders also alleged that Bello is responsible for the crisis in the house of assembly which has not been able to sit because of a leadership tussle. The federal house of representatives has decided to take over the duties of the assembly, citing constitutional provisions. Here are the highlights of the communique from the exco meeting made public of Saturday: That the State government is not carrying the party structures along in his policy directions, appointments and general governance. That we are in the power but still in opposition. That we fought power from the PDP only for Governor Yahaya Bello to give back the power to the same PDP. That all the 45 appointments made so far by his Excellency, Gov. Yahaya Bello are given to PDP members. That there is crisis between our members in the State house of Assembly instigated by the State Governor. RESOLUTIONS That a communiqué be issued from this meeting to the National Secretariat National Leaders and the Presidency making these observations known to them. That since we are not prepared to allow our party to die, we should go back to our various levels and energize our structure and tell them to remain calm, steadfast and committed to the ideals of the party. That the State EXCO should cry out for help to the National Secretariat National Leaders and the Presidency. That we should invite all our members in the State house of Assembly and intervene with a view to uniting them. That we will henceforth have nothing to do with government of Yahaya Bello. In view of the above, we plead to the National Leaders and Presidency to consider the State’s ministerial nominee from legacy party so our party will not collapse. THE AISHA BUHARI CONNECTION Bello (first right) at the launch of Aisha Buhari’s book on April 14 Many APC members in the state have privately expressed worries that the relationship between President Muhammadu Buhari’s wife, Aisha, and Bello may be tilting the balance of power in favour of the governor. A member of the exco who spoke with TheCable said the way the governor “has carried on suggests that he thinks he is a world above the rest of us”. “You can see him all over the place with the president’s wife. They both returned from London by BA on April 8, sitting close to each other in the first class cabin,” he said. “He was also at the launch of Mrs Buhari’s book, Essentials of Beauty Therapy, on Thursday. He probably thinks his closeness to Abuja is all he needs to remain in power.” However, an associate of the governor dismissed the claims, describing his accusers as “sore losers”. “We know where all these allegations and scheming are coming from. It is Esau’s hand and Jacob’s voice. The governor will respond at the appropriate time,” he said. https://www.thecable.ng/just-kogi-apc-declares-war-governor

The ineffectual junketer heads to London next week for a conference on corruption. It's time labour blocks the runways of all airports to stop this Man from disappearing at will. This man flies like a wizard

Corps are on the first line charge. Meaning the ate paid before soldiers, then police then civil servants. If corners ain't paid, then soldiers haven't been paid... So expect mutiny too from the army or army related robberies.
Buhari oooo... One day one trouble
We were proud to be called Jonathan pikin in our khaki. Try call a corner buhari pikin and tell me the response later...

Buhari never went through school so doesn't care that is why he ordered the killing of corners in bauchi in 2010,today he wants to starve the rest of them.
Tell PA bubu to repent

Pay them oooPay them oooPay them ooo

ArchiPelago1:
If you execute a successful coup, who is going to try you for treason?.. You expected Buhari to charge Buhari for Treason?... But if your coup isn't successful, you can be HELD accountable for treason.

Buhari was and still remains dull. He can't plan nor execute a couple. That coup was a brain child of IBB. GMB was only called in at the last minute to head the government. Even during his regime, he took the back seat for Idiagbon who was more intelligent a few smart. It didn't take IBB anything to execute the most brilliant and successful coup to oust the d. ullard.. with dasuki arresting him without firing a shot.

This is a man of God not like the others that flew jet to donate 5 bags of rice to thousands of displaced people

Where is there office in Abuja? I need to buy a new phone?

It's true....

The truth still remains that buhari has no business attending an economic summit let alone NUCLEAR!!
The world today won't allow Nigeria have a nuclear plant because of the numerous terror and militants cells in the country.
To be candid, to maintain Hydro power e no fit na nuclear?
Buhari is wicked! He wants to wipe out Nigeria And her neighbors and claim it was a nuclear leak.

Remember the were folks woke up for normal chores only for a whole city to be wiped out cos of a nuclear leak. Chernobyl disaster in 1986
Buhari come back home and face agriculture

Waiting for Lagos to buy osun state and collect C of O from Aregbese

On March 16, Nigerian legislators refused to pass for
second reading, the bill on gender equality.
The bill, titled ‘Gender Parity and Prohibition of Violence
against Women’, would have, among other things,
provided women quality in marriage, education and
opportunities. This was not to be.
Some of the legislators cited religious and cultural
reasons. Some said the constitution already provides
for the rights of all persons in Nigeria and, therefore,
eliminates the need for a codified instrument to protect
the rights of women.
BUT HERE ARE FIVE WAYS NIGERIA, IRONICALLY,
LEGITIMISES DISCRIMINATION AGAINST WOMEN AND
THE GIRL CHILD.
CITIZENSHIP
Did you know that section 26 (2) (a) of the 1999
Nigerian constitution denies a woman the right to
confer citizenship statues on her foreign husband but
grants such rights to a foreign woman married to a
Nigerian male?
ASSAULT
The criminal code doles out harsher punishment –
felony – for assault against a man. Be you a woman, it
is misdemeanour. Read here what section 353 of the
criminal code says: “Any person who unlawfully and
indecently assaults any male person is guilty of a
felony, and is liable to imprisonment for three years.
The offender cannot be arrested without warrant.” And
read here what 360 says: “Any person who unlawfully
and indecently assaults a woman or girl is guilty of a
misdemeanor, and is liable to imprisonment for two
years.”
MARRIAGE
Under Nigeria’s penal code guiding the northern parts
of the country, “Nothing is an offence, which does not
amount to the infliction of grievous harm upon any
person and which is done by a husband for the purpose
of correcting his wife. Such husband and wife being
subject to any natural law or custom in which such
correction is recognized as lawful.”
WORK
Section 55 of the labour act bans women from working
in the night. “No woman shall be employed on night
work in a public or private industrial undertaking or in
any branch thereof, or in any agricultural undertaking or
any branch thereof.”
POLICE
This must take the biggest piece – the police
regulation.
Section 121 to 126 regulates the affairs of women in
the way it does not regulate males.
Women police officers shall, as a general rule, be
employed for duties that are concerned with women
and children only. Married women cannot enlist in the
police. Where an enlisted single woman wants to get
married, she must have spent two years in the police
and then apply for permission to marry.
She must furnish the police with particulars of fiancé
who must be investigated and cleared before
permission is granted. A married woman police officer
“shall not be granted any special privileges by reason of
the fact that she is married and shall be subjected to
posting and transfer as it were unmarried.”
Also, an unmarried woman police officer who is
pregnant shall be discharged from the force.

Initially, I was suspecting the shites but with his murder, it seems clear that it's an in-house killing. Dog just ate another dog as the say in the army. Rip

Dark days...... We were warned oooo but some zombies did this to Nigeria

End time is when a man without certificate dives into nuclear talks.... End time buhari

Best story on front page in a long while....... Not seen poses with buhari... I kill snake in my house stories... This is a story El rufai will live to tell the story

E Don reach that level

kITATITA:
Nonsense writeup. Didn't Jonathan travel when Yaradua was in the hospital in Saudi Arabia. Did David Mark take over? The office of the President is not territorial. When the President travels on official trips, he continues to carry on with State activities. It is only when sick and unable to perform the official duties that an Acting President becomes necessary.

As it stands, it seems buhari is not only overwhelmed but also sick. Each time there is a crisis, he jets out to ease off. What benefit is Guinea to Nigeria?

When t.b joshua said in a parable last week Sunday that they want the head of John the Baptist, I never saw this coming. Now they want the head of John the Baptist which they won't get!

Under buhari Nigeria has been on auto pilot

All the girls abducted or hypnotized have one thing in common.... Longer throat... The love for suya. I pity girls that live suya meat and massa.

Buhari has his hands filled. The old man is officially confused so he travels to dodge his responsibilities but they are there like a corpse waiting for him. I pity pa bubu.
He would have stayed back in his arm chair in daura waiting for his death but alas the brown roof people deceived him to be president and because he was so dull and naive he accepted to lead a gang of forty confused thieves to be president now he is confused.
Today he visited Nigeria via Abuja the question now is where next?

There was a long queue in mararaba, a suburb of Abuja this morning

The seven year cycle is over. In seven years every economy booms and after seven years it shrinks. How u manage it matters a lot. At this juncture, domestic spending needs to be increased. The so called tsa should be disregarded for now so that government can invest in infrastructure which would increase liquidity in the system since most of the materials for construction are already in Nigeria such as cement, sand, man power. Construction companies wouldn't have to import new machineries. There is need to oil the economy or else, it would knock and create a social crisis that no one can handle. The solution is with us. If Venezuela falls, it's a matter of 3 months and nigeria will follow suite.
Don't I see a coup or a revolution?
Landlords are already reviewing their rents downwards because tenants can't pay. Lots of kids out of school because parents can't pay now rice that we ate so common has now turned ESSENTIAL COMMODITY.
