Politics / Police, SSS May Withdraw Amaechi's Security Aides by lookmangiw(m): 6:14am On May 17, 2013
There were indications in Abuja on Thursday that
security aides attached to the Governor of Rivers
State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, may be withdrawn.

A highly placed security source, who briefed
reporters in Abuja, said there were plans to
withdraw the security aides of the governor.

The source insisted that the alarm raised by the
Speaker of Rivers House of Assembly, Mr. Dan
Amachree, that the security aides attached to the
governor would be asked to return to their bases,
was true after all.

The Speaker had, in an open letter sent to
President Goodluck Jonathan, further alleged that
the situation in Rivers State had reached a crescendo.

He alleged the governor might as well be
assassinated following a series of reported
nocturnal meetings held in a neighbouring State and
Abuja.

The speaker had said, "The situation is exacerbated with the planned release from detention, of 18 notable robbery and kidnap kingpins currently in custody to carry out this planned mayhem on the government officials and innocent citizens and residents of the state."

The source said, "They have just withdrawn the
security aides of the Speaker today (Thursday) and
when he raised that alarm about the plan to do that, we thought it was not true.

"As I speak with you, there are plans to withdraw
the security aides of the governor as well. That
will be done soon.

"Those that will be affected include the policemen,
soldiers and men of the State Security Service
attached to the governor, who is also the Chairman
of the Nigerian Governors' Forum.

"Unless those planning it have a change of heart,
the withdrawal could take place as early as this
weekend."

But when contacted, the Deputy Force Public
Relations Officer, Mr. Frank Mba, said he did not
have information on the matter. He said, "I have no such information. You may speak with the commissioner of police, Rivers."

Reacting to the allegation by the speaker against
him, the State Police Command said no policeman had been withdrawn from either the State House of Assembly or the Rivers Government House.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs.
Angela Agabe, maintained that security operatives
in the House of Assembly and the State Government House were intact.

Politics / PDP Urges EFCC To Probe Fashola Administration by lookmangiw(m): 5:55am On May 06, 2013
Peoples Democratic Party, Lagos State chapter, has called on the Economic and Financial Crime
Commission to probe the activities of the
Babatunde Fashola administration in the state.

The party said it was convinced that there was
"massive corruption" in the administration of the
state under Fashola.

In a statement by the party, the state PDP
Chairman, Chief Tunji Shelle, made the call on
Sunday, after a church service to mark his birthday.

Shelle alleged that the government was already
trying to hide the massive misappropriation of
public funds by gagging its officials.

He said, "Recently, the Speaker of the state House
of Assembly, Mr. Adeyemi Ikuforiji, talked about
plans by House committees to begin the probe of
ministries in the state.
"
This move, we learnt, has been vehemently opposed
by Fashola and the leadership of the Action
Congress of Nigeria."

Shelle said there was a need for the government to
give statistics on projects it was handling and allow the public to have access to such information to know if its claims were true or false.

He said, "What Fashola, a so-called progressive
governor, has done is to warn his commissioners
never to speak to the media on the state projects
as well as activities in their ministries."

According to him, there is a need for Fashola to
explain the utilisation of the over N23bn realised
by the state Security Trust Fund.

Shelle said, "Recently, Chairman of Ejigbo Local
Council Development Area, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan,
was kidnapped. There has been many kidnappings
recently of foreigners and these incidents were
kept away from the public by the state.

"We are worried that the continued silence of the
state government has become very dangerous and is
unfair to the entire people of Lagos."

The PDP chairman also expressed uncertainty about
the completion of the Light Rail project by June
2013 as promised by Fashola in spite of the huge
sums of money spent on it.

He advised Fashola to give a human face to the
housing estate projects of the government, which
he said, was out of the reach of middle and low-
income earners.

Politics / Re: ACN Blasts FG For $40m Internet Surveillance Contract by lookmangiw(m): 6:46am On Apr 29, 2013
Seems like I wouldn't be posting on nairaland anymore. Once this programme kicks off. Nigeria is now being run in a demo-military way.
Politics / ACN Blasts FG For $40m Internet Surveillance Contract by lookmangiw(m): 6:41am On Apr 29, 2013
Action Congress of Nigeria has accused the
President Goodluck Jonathan administration of
launching an assault on the civil rights of Nigerians. The party stated this while reacting to a report that the Federal Government had awarded a $40m Internet surveillance contract.

According to an online newspaper, Premium Times,
the contract will allow the government to monitor
the Internet communication of privacy of citizens,
especially journalists and those considered to be
opponents of the administration. An Israeli firm reportedly won the contract.

The ACN, in a statement in Lagos on Sunday by its
National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed,
said since the contract was reported, the
government had yet to deny it.

It said because the government had yet to deny the
report several days after its publication, it was
safe to submit that it was true. The party said the contract would mark the beginning of what would be the curtailment of the right to freedom of speech and expression and the freedom of the press.

The ACN stated, "For a government that is increasingly paranoid, having failed to meet the yearnings and aspirations of the citizenry,who are justifiably becoming restive by the day, the ability to spy on the Internet communications of citizens as well as to intercept and read private emails, not to talk of being able to suppress unwanted connections, is a potent weapon against the civil rights of Nigerians as well as the constitutionally-guaranteed rights like freedom of expression, freedom of the press and freedom of association.

"It is common knowledge that the Jonathan
administration has been getting a bad rap from
Nigerians in the traditional media as well as the
social media – a veritable platform for the citizens
to vent their frustrations at a do-nothing
government.

"It is also common knowledge that journalists have
borne the brunt of the administration's increasing
propensity to stifle freedom of expression and
press freedom, while members of the opposition are
being portrayed more and more as enemies of the
administration, rather than being seen as
indispensable allies in the nation's quest to evolve
a strong and enduring democracy.
"These may have been the motivation for the
administration to acquire the Internet Surveillance capability.

However, no government in the history
of our country, whether elected or otherwise, has
taken this kind of brazen measure for whatever
reason, hence it must raise serious concerns among
the citizenry, their political representatives as
well as civil liberties organisations."
The party said the government might want to
hoodwink Nigerians by saying the technology was to
enable it to keep a tab on insurgents.

It said such justification was not acceptable it
violated the country's constitution. ACN added, "This is why we are calling on the National Assembly, civil liberties organisations, professional groups and ordinary citizens to speak
out now before it is too late. No government should have the right to play a 'Big Brother' role in the lives of the citizens, because this will ultimately herald the return to autocratic rule and sound the death knell of our democracy."

However, the Special Adviser to the President on
Political Matters, Dr. Ahmed Gulak, on Sunday, said
the ACN did not have any moral ground to be
attacking the Federal Government as it was doing.

The presidential aide, who said he would not
comment on the Internet contract based on
speculation, noted that the ACN and its national
leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, lacked the moral
platform on which they could be criticising Federal
Government.

Gulak said, "I am not aware of that (the surveillance contract). I cannot make comment on it based on speculation. I like making comments on
issues from informed point of view.
Politics / Jonathan Promises Uninterrupted Power Supply In 2014 by lookmangiw(m): 7:48am On Apr 27, 2013
THE President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,
Goodluck Jonathan has given firm assurance that
Nigerians by December 2014, would begin to enjoy
uninterrupted power supply with nothing less than
10,000 megawatts.

Addressing top members of The Guardian during his
visit at the Guardian Editorial Conference room on
Thursday, the Senior Special Assistant to the
President on Publicity, Dr. Doyin Okupe said
Jonathan administration inherited power crisis with
its attendant problems on generation, transmission
and distribution, which Nigerians would put behind
them after the year 2014.
Okupe who described President Jonathan as though
quiet, but intelligent who does not make noise of
what he is doing, but really working to fix various
problems confronting the nation, added that he is
concerned about the security issues in the country.

According to Okupe, Jonathan is addressing the two
major problems bordering on insecurity in the
nation which include the Boko Haram insurgence as
well as the issue of kidnapping. He said while Boko
Haram issue was located in the Northern part of
the country, the problem of kidnapping has been
pronounced in the Southern part of the Country and
occasionally in Lagos.

“The issue of Boko Haram has a political undertone
but some elites in the North have passionately
made submissions to the President that though
members of the sect had gone too far with much
damage done, they should consider the way out they
have preferred which they believed would bring
peace and an end to the sect’s incessant assault.
“A right thinking person would normally give a
thought to anything that would bring peace at last
which the President is considering.

“I want to assure you that the Federal Government
and Security Forces have what it takes to
militarily end Boko Haram, but there is no need for
that,” he said. Okupe on the issue of corruption also said that Jonathan administration was determined to fight corruption, which has become endemic in the nation,and which has been aided by the unwholesome
attitude of judges in Nigeria. He also indicted
Judges who unnecessarily prolong cases in court so
that people accused of corruption are not punished
in time. He cited the case of the recent three
Judges who took bribes and placed under discipline.
Commenting on the issue of Agriculture, he relayed
the president’s promise that by 2015, Nigeria would be self-sufficient in rice production.

“Nigeria has not only overtaken Indonesia in
Cassava production, but today can boast of 40
million tons of the product leaving the shores of
the nation on exportation while Cocoa production
has also gone from 250,000 tons to 500,000 tons
per annum”.

Politics / NGF: Presidency In Fresh Move To Sack Amaechi by lookmangiw(m): 6:13am On Apr 23, 2013
The Presidency has initiated a fresh move to
ensure that Rivers State Governor Rotimi Amaechi
does not retain his post as Chairman of the
Nigerian Governors' Forum.

It was gathered that ahead of the fifth meeting of the NGF slated for Wednesday, 15 state
governors met with President Goodluck Jonathan on
Sunday night in Abuja. Chairman of the PDP Governors' Forum, Godswill Akpabio of Akwa Ibom State-led the delegation which had Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State as the only non-PDP governor in attendance.

A source privy to the meeting confided in one of
our correspondents that the Forum which was
preceded by a special dinner was "essentially to
mobilise support for the emergence of Katsina
State Governor Ibrahim Shema as the next
chairman of the NGF."

He said, "We have been able to secure the
understanding of our governors especially our
brothers from the North. I believe for the sake
of balance, it makes a lot of sense to have a
northern PDP governor as chairman of the NGF
because we already have Governor Akpabio, a
Southerner as chairman of the PDP Governors'
Forum."

The source noted that members of the NGF in
opposition political parties were 10 out of the 36
governors in the country. He added that at least
two governors in the opposition parties were likely to throw their weight behind any candidate
supported by the PDP.

Our correspondents also gathered that as the NGF
meets in Abuja tomorrow, the issue of election has
again been deferred as it is currently not on the
agenda. Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Dr. Ahmed Gulak, said that Presidency's interest was in upholding the rule of law.

According to him, the President as a loyal member
of the PDP, will be delighted to have another PDP
governor taking over from Amaechi as the NGF
chairman as his tenure draws to a close.
Gulak said the President was ready to work with any of the governors of the PDP that would eventually replace the Rivers State governor.
When asked whether Jonathan would be ready to
work with the embattled chairman of the NGF if
re-elected, the presidential aide said the issue of
re-election of Amaechi did not arise.

Gulak said, "The fact that the President met with
the PDP governors was an indication that he is
united with the governors. When has it become an
aberration for him to meet the governors?
"It is not about removing Amaechi. Amaechi's
tenure as NGF chairman is ending this April, so
nobody is talking about his removal. When Bukola
Saraki's tenure ended, he handed over to Amaechi.
Since Amaechi's tenure is ending too, he must hand
over to somebody else.

"The President is interested in any PDP governor,
not necessarily Shema, taking over from Amaechi at the expiration of his tenure. There is no re-
election for Amaechi. His tenure has expired
except if he wants to extend his tenure and there
is no tenure elongation in the NGF."
However, efforts to get the Rivers State
Commissioner for Information and Commnications,
Mrs. Ibim Semenitari, and the Chief Press
Secretary to the Governor, Mr. David Iyofor, to
react to Gulak's statement were not fruitful.

While a personal assistant to the commissioner said Semenitari was indisposed, Iyofor, who promised to call one of our correspondents back, did not do so. But a dependable source in Rivers State Government House, Port Harcourt confided in The PUNCH that Amaechi was keen on seeking re-election as the forum's chairman.

The source, who claimed that a part of the rules
governing the forum had long been altered to
accommodate any incumbent chairman seeking a
second term to do so. He added, "I can tell you that the governor will not be stampeded into quitting. He will prefer to stand the election and be defeated than shying away from it because some outsiders are now interested in displacing him. Mind you, Governor Amaechi is a good fighter."

The PDP had in its bid to whittle down Amaechi
influence as NGF chairman created the forum of its governors headed by Akpabio. Two weeks ago, a
court sacked Ameachi's loyalists from the helm
of affairs at the Rivers State chapter of the PDP.

It took only 24 hours for the national secretariat
of the PDP to inaugurate a new executive council
of the party in the state.

Politics / Corruption Reports On Nigeria Exaggerated - Jonathan by lookmangiw(m): 6:02am On Apr 23, 2013
President Goodluck Jonathan on Monday again
admitted that corruption was currently pervading
the nation's system.

He however said the reports of the menace were
being exaggerated. Jonathan spoke at the presidential power reform transactions signing ceremony held at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, barely three days after the United States government indicted the Federal Government of massive and widespread
corruption.

According to the US Department of State's report, government officials and agencies frequently engaged in corrupt practices with impunity.

This was contained in the Bureau of Democracy,
Human Rights and Labour Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2012, which was released on Friday.

In the report, the judiciary and security agencies,
especially the police, were said to be lacking in
transparency.

But Jonathan insisted that although there were
cases of corruption in the country, the menace was
being "over-amplified."

The President said, "Let me continue to assure
Nigerians that yes, there are issues of corruption
in this country but somehow it has been over
amplified. "People should watch how we have been conducting government business. We have been bringing down the issues of corruption gradually.

"If you look at the fertiliser sector, you will agree with me that if government actors are interested, we would have continued the same story of buying all kinds of things, awarding all kinds of contracts in the name of fertiliser. But we are not doing that, we have sanitised that sector.

"Look at the power sector, when we started
initially there were stories in the papers but at
the end, even when I was in the US, companies from
there that participated said publicly that the
process was transparent and issues of corruption
was not there.

"At least, today we have also heard directly, that
the process was transparent and that there were
no issues of manipulations or corruptions."
Jonathan said his administration was committed to
ensuring that the right things were done in the
interest of the country.

"I plead with Nigerians that the country belongs to all of us and we will all protect what belongs to us, what belongs to our children and what belongs to the generation yet unborn. We are committed to doing our best for this country God willing, we will
succeed," he said.

On the signing of the power transactions, the
President told Nigerians that his government cared
for them and that he would not rest until he fixed
the nation's power sector.

Politics / Tinubu And Buhari Are Political Liabilities - Okupe by lookmangiw(m): 7:16am On Apr 22, 2013
Tinubu, Buhari Political Liabilities - Presidency

The Presidency on Sunday dismissed criticisms of the Goodluck Jonathan administration by the two main opposition parties, saying their national leaders-Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd) and Asiwaju Bola Tinubu were “heavily burdened political liabilities.”

Senior Special Assistant to Jonathan on Public Affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, told journalists at a news conference in Lagos, that the Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government would not be distracted by their ‘empty’ criticisms.

Tinubu had at the ACN convention in Lagos on Thursday, said “The current government’s trademark is to throw empty words and hollow actions at our problems,” while Buhari vowed that the All Progressives Congress would resist any move by the PDP to rig elections in 2015.

But Okupe said Buhari and Tinubu, the arrowheads of the move by the ACN, CPC and the All Nigeria Peoples Party to fuse into APC, lacked “the antecedent that support their claim of possessing what it takes to move Nigeria forward.”

He said, “It is evident that the proposed merger revolves around two personalities only, Senator Tinubu and Retd.- Gen. Buhari. Unfortunately, both are heavily burdened political liabilities. ”

The Presidential aide described the proposed merger as “incongruous alliance of political weaklings, ,dysfunctional Lilliputians and repeatedly frustrated political power mongers.”

He claimed that the promoters of the APC were desperate to “supplant the Jonathan administration, forgetting that one million giant ants can never muster the required strength to lift a concrete pole much less of a nationally entrenched pillar and structurally established institution like the PDP.”

The Ogun State-born medical doctor called the ACN a “motley assembly” lacking in internal democracy and “notorious for outsourcing” its presidential candidates from the PDP.

Noting that the ANPP “had existed for 13 years without any meaningful impact on the polity,” Okupe predicted that the APC would likely pick its presidential candidate from the rank of the PDP stalwarts..

He said, “It is noteworthy that the major plank of this motley assembly, the ACN, is notorious for outsourcing its presidential candidate from the ranks of the same PDP they gleefully villify.

“In 2003, their choice was Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, who now knows them better. In 2011, it was a protégé of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, who filled the slot although he was later betrayed and sacrificed on the altar of self interest.

“Presently, the debates within the factionalised alliance suggest that they will not mind fielding another PDP stalwart as their presidential candidate.”

Okupe said that the administration of Tinubu in Lagos State was characterised by labour crisis and that it did not at any time attain 60 per cent budget implementation.

He said, “The leader of the opposition, Chief Bola Tinubu, who spoke disparagingly about the Federal Government on a number of issues was once a governor of Nigeria’s richest state for eight years and we all have a record of what he made of that position.

“ Tinubu who spoke about meagre wages for public servants in Nigeria was known to have ignored calls of Lagos civil servants for a N7,500 monthly wage and when he eventually buckled to the pressure of Labour leaders, he wickedly sacked the arrowhead of the struggle in the person of Comrade Ayodele Akele, who was never re-instated.

“Yet Tinubu spoke of the present government as ‘heartless and mean that put the interest of small elite above the interest of the common working man and woman who are the backbone of this nation.”

On the National Chairman of the ACN,Chief Bisi Akande, he noted that when he (Akande) was the governor of Osun State, workers were denied N5,500 minimum wage.

He added that the Akande regime laid off over 9,000 workers during its four years in office

He said, “Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, who was then Nigeria Labour Congress President and now Governor of Edo State led workers on protest in Osun during the period but Chief Akande remained adamant. Where then is the credential of these people to talk about job creation, promotion of workers interest and democratic etiquette?.”

He also described the decision of two nominated members of the Amnesty Implementation Committee, Mallam Sanni and Alhaji Datti Ahmed, to reject their membership, as “shameful”.

Okupe said, “They wanted to do it as private citizens and take the glory. Some people feel because a committee has been established, their importance will be undermined.”

Arguing that corruption with over 50 years existence in the country would not disappear overnight, the SSA added that Jonathan overhauled the leadership of government agencies saddled with the responsibility and signed the Freedom of Information Bill in order to reinvigorate the war against corruption.

Faulting Okupe, the ACN National Publicity Secretary, Lai Mohammed, said, “Lagos State Government under Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu was the first state to increase workers’ salaries without them asking him. Osun State witnessed unrivalled infrastructural development during the tenure of Chief Bisi Akande, these records are there for all to see.”

The National Chairman of the ACN, Chief Akande, said that he would not dignify Okupe with a reply.

Speaking through his media aide, Mr Lani Baderinwa, the former governor advised the Jonathan administration to secure the lives and properties of Nigerians rather than engage in bickering.

“Okupe doesn’t need to be dignified with a response. He is an attack dog. He has enough problems of his own,” he added.

Also, the CPC through its Spokesman, Mr.Rotimi Fashakin, said “A hunter’s dog that is about to get lost forever will never hear the whistle of the hunter. This administration is about to get lost irredeemably.”

I never knew it was the duty of the President to prosecute or jail people.


Now this really questions his desire to fight corruption.

For the benefit of Nigeria, I hope the OP's post is true. Many comments here suggest that people who see themselves as the opposition want their own rise to power to be a result of absolute failure on the part of the incumbent leaders. In other words, they desire a situation where Nigerians suffer terribly so that they can come to power rather than one where they would win because they are able to develop the best policies that provide the greatest good to the greatest number of people, and have a proven track record of executing those policies.
do you think the democrats would have gotten a shot at the presidency if not for the george w bush policies that sent the economy into a state of comatose. Guy, it happens everywhere dude, that's what politics is all about, so get down and starting thinking, mess.ing numb skull
