The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governors are having a fresh go at the National Chairman of the party,Alhaji Bamabga Tukur.The governors want him out at all costs even with the exit,from the party,of five of their colleagues who initiated the ‘Tukur Must Go Campaign’.

Governors Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano), Aliyu Wamakko (Sokoto), Murtala Nyako (Adamawa), Abdulfatah Ahmed (Kwara) and Rotimi Amaechi (Rivers),left the party for the All Progressives Congress (APC) recently following the reluctance of the PDP hierarchy to sack Tukur.

The exit of the five governors is causing ripples in the PDP and the remaining governors resolved at a meeting in Abuja on Friday night that only Tukur’s removal could restore sanity to the party.

They also backed repositioning of the party and reconciliation of the aggrieved governors and members to put PDP in good stead for the 2015 poll.

The governors were scheduled to go into another round of meeting with President Goodluck Jonathan last night on Tukur’s exit and other issues bothering the party.

The PDP governors, sources told The Nation, met at the Akwa Ibom Lodge in Abuja preparatory to their audience with the president last night.It was gathered that the crisis which led to the defection of five governors and the fate of Tukur dominated discussions,Some of the governors suggested a soft-landing for Tukur with a choice ambassadorial appointment.

A source said: “The governors admitted that a change of party leadership is crucial to any reconciliation in PDP. They also said they have realised that with Tukur still in charge,some governors are just managing to stay in PDP.

“They called for pre-emptive steps to prevent more defections from PDP to the main opposition coalition,the All Progressives Congress (APC).

“They also agreed that PDP cannot afford to be in tatters if it wants to win the 2015 poll. So, they have opted for far-reaching reforms in the party where all members and organs will play their roles without inhibitions.”But the governors were unable to agree on where Tukur’s successor should come from.

While some suggested the retention of the office in Adamawa State,others were of the opinion that the new chairman should come from any of Bauchi, Gombe, Taraba or Borno states.

The governors of Bauchi, Gombe and Taraba states were said to be opposed to their states producing the next National Chairman of the party because of likely interference by such a chairman in the affairs of the local PDP.They recalled the incessant disagreements between Tukur and Nyako and between Dr. Okwesilize Nwodo and Governor Sullivan Chime in Enugu State.

Those being speculated include a former acting National Secretary of PDP, Alhaji Musa Babayo; former Governor of Bauchi State, Adamu Muazu; former Ambassador to the United States, who is also the Wakilin Adamawa, Alhaji Hassan Adamu, (Adamawa); Mr. Boni Haruna, former governor of Adamawa State; Political Adviser to the President, Alhaji Ahmed Gulak; Senator John Wampana and a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Mohammed Abba Gana.

A source said former Minister of Information,Prof. Jerry Gana,who is a strategist for the president, and some party leaders were backing Abba Gana to give PDP a leverage in Borno and Yobe states.The Borno-Yobe axis is also said to be under-represented in appointments at the federal level.

Although some leaders are rooting for Babayo, it was learnt that he may prefer running for governorship to the National Chairman post.One of the governors said: “I will not say we have abandoned or ditched anyone, but we have suggestions on the way forward. We will present these recommendations to the president who is the National Leader of the party. It is left to him to accept or not,by the time we meet, we will be able to chart a new course for the party. But there will be no winner or loser in the end.

“Note it: we are in a period where we must sacrifice to move the party forward.”

For the first time in over 100 years,a winter storm has brought snow to a city known for its heat and sand, Cairo in Egypt.

According to local reports,it happened over night and unexpectedly on Wednesday Dec. 11th. An official of Egypt's Meteorological centre said it was first time in decades since the last snowfalls and it took residents of Cairo suburbs by surprise.But most are delighted because they have never seen snow before.They took to Twitter to post their amazement in words and shared pictures

The snowfall has forced the closure of the country's ports and several other businesses for a days now. Who wants snow in Nigeria?

According to Premiumtimes,No fewer than 150 cows have been stolen by cattle rustlers in Canaan Mega Farms in Bara Village,Jema’a Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

The Chairman of the council,Dan Amos,stated this to the News Agency of Nigeria on Friday at the Jagindi Police Station,where 33 of the cows were reported to have been recovered.

The recovery followed a chase by a combined team of the police and the military.

Mr. Amos said that the incident occurred in the late hours of Thursday when the suspects stormed the farm belonging to late former Chief of Army Staff,Gen. Luka Yusuf in Bara Village.

“The suspects were reported to be dressed in full military uniform and armed with sophisticated weapons.

“Although no life was lost, the security men at the farms were molested,’’ he said.

The chairman said he received a distress call around 1 a.m. and he immediately contacted the police and the military who swung into action. He said that the 33 cattle recovered were found in a thick forest along Jagindi on the border with Nasarawa State. Mr. Amos lamented increasing incidences of cattle rustling in the area, saying, “only two weeks ago,67 cattle were stolen in this area.’’

He said that the council was determined to put an end to recurring cattle theft and urged the people to report any suspected persons to the security agencies

During the week,Complex magazine released their "Top 50 Albums of 2013" list.Wale's latest album 'The Gifted' didn't make the cut and dude didn't take it too kindly.In fact,the rapper called up the magazine and in the loudest,most insane phone call ever heard after Kanye,threatened to come down to their offices and personally KNOCK people out.
According to Complex Mag,their staff took the call,and spoke to Wale for less than three minutes.In those three minutes,Wale claimed that staff members at Complex had a personal bias against him,then started shouting and making threats.
“At this point,you know it’s got to be personal,"he said.
"You telling me it’s not personal.It's like a bold face lie.To be omitted from every type of list that y’all do or be at the bottom of it or every type of way that y’all can omit me,ya will.”
Staff told him it was not a personal thing.Wale cut him off.
“You mean to tell me Juicy J album better than mine?” he said, his voice rising.“Is that what you trying to tell me?”
He did not give the staff a chance to answer.
Staff tried to explain how their lists are formulated,Wale cut him off:
"I swear to God I’ll come to that office and start knocking n****s the Bleep out," he screamed.
Staff tried to talk to him calmly.
"Alright,"Wale said."I'll see y'all tomorrow.Get the security ready."
Then he hung up on the staff.

Major Hamza Al-Mustapha yesterday
challenged Chief Olusegun Obasanjo to
produce evidence on his claims that
President Jonathan interfered with the
murder trial of the late General
Abacha’s former chief security officer.
Al-Mustapha, who is abroad, also denied
being used to run an assassination
squad to target Jonathan’s political
opponents ahead 2015 elections.
In his December 2 letter to the
President, Obasanjo said Jonathan
interfered with the court process to set
a murderer free, and organised a
presidential reception for him.
The former president did not name
names, but it was obvious he was
referring to Al-Mustapha who was freed
by the Court of Appeal in July over the
murder of the late Kudirat Abiola.
Al-Mustapha’s counsel Barrister
Olalekan Ojo yesterday challenged
Obasanjo to produce evidence to
support his claims.
In his 18-page letter to Jonathan,
Obasanjo said: “Presidential assistance
for a murderer to evade justice and
presidential delegation to welcome him
home can only be in bad taste generally
but particularly to the family of his
victim.
“Assisting criminals to evade justice
cannot be part of the job of the
presidency. Or, as it is viewed in some
quarters, is he being recruited to do for
you what he had done for Abacha in the
past? Hopefully, he should have learned
his lesson. Let us continue to watch.”
In his reaction, Ojo told Daily Trust: “To
the best of my knowledge, President
Jonathan never organised or sponsored
any welcome rally to Al-Mustapha after
his release.”
Al-Mustapha had been in detention for
14 years before he was acquitted by the
Lagos Division of the Court of Appeal,
after being sentenced to death by a
Lagos High Court.
Ojo said, “The impression (of
Obasanjo’s letter) is that the Court of
Appeal caved into pressure from
President Jonathan, to that extent, the
comment is disturbing, worrisome and
unwarranted.
“The judiciary should be left alone and
not be dragged into politics. The
Justices of the Court of Appeal in Lagos
that sat over the case are jurists of
impeccable character and it is not fair
for anybody, no matter how well-placed,
to attack the
integrity of these judges. We challenge
Obasanjo to produce evidence of such
interference to make it available to the
public.”
He added: “My client was discharged
and acquitted on the merit of his
appeal. Majority of those who
commented on the judgment expressed
satisfaction. It is most unfortunate that
a person like OBJ could accuse the
President of using his exalted office for
such a sinister and morally
reprehensible thing. It must be stated
that if OBJ has any issue to settle with
the President, he should not drag Al
Mustapha into it.”
On the allegation that Al-Mustapha is
being used by Jonathan to run an
assassination squad, Ojo said that the
accusation was a demonstration of the
enormous hatred Obasanjo harboured
for Al-Mustapha.
“At no time has he been involved in any
such thing. It is totally false. Al-
Mustapha is earnestly committed to the
promotion of peace and harmony in
Nigeria. It is most unfair that such an
allegation should be made against him.
It is an attempt to give a dog a bad
name to hang him. When Al-Mustapha
returns (from abroad) he will make a
fuller response,” Ojo said.
Meanwhile, Obasanjo and Jonathan met
yesterday at the Intercontinental Hotel
in Nairobi, Kenya, where they had a
private breakfast together.
This was the first time they are
appearing at the same place since
Obasanjo’s letter became public on
Wednesday.
Jonathan and Obasanjo were in Kenya
to attend its 50th Independence
anniversary which was held yesterday.
Immediately after their breakfast,
Obasanjo left for the venue of the
independence anniversary.
No official statement was issued on the
meeting.
Mind of Nigerians
The Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF)
yesterday said Obasanjo’s letter to
Jonathan represented the views of
Nigerians.
ACF spokesman Anthony Sani said:
“While it may be indecorous for the
former president to leak altercations
between him and a sitting president
well known to be his political vassal, it
is more indecorous for the presidency to
resort to uncouth language for replies.
“And that is why I plead with the media
and the public to concentrate on the
issues raised and not on how they have
been presented. On the whole, except
perhaps the aspect of Mr President
arming snipers, the former president
has said what most Nigerians know.”
Also yesterday, Vice President Atiku
Abubakar urged leaders who Obasanjo
said he consulted before writing his
letter to intervene, to “reduce the
tension created by former President
Obasanjo’s weighty allegations.”
In a statement by his media office,
Abubakar said he was nervous about
the allegations made by the former
President and that those elders
mentioned by “Obasanjo had a moral
duty to add their voices to the issue.”
The statement said “the allegations
were too disturbing to be treated with
apathy by any political stakeholder like
him. (Abubakar) said at a moment of
national anxiety or uncertainty, leaders
across the country should rise to the
occasion and reassure fellow Nigerians
about the future.”
Abubakar added: “That said, it is on
record that I have firmly fought for a
democracy where the voters choose
their future leaders, not political party
bosses. If the incumbent President
insists on continuing to destroy his own
party with vindictive internal wars and
thinks his record of rising youth
unemployment, never-ending violence,
corruption and scandals is worthy of
another term, then he is welcome to
run. We are confident Nigerians will
exercise their democratic right to
choose new leadership in 2015.”
Constitutional lawyer, Prof. Itse Sagay,
also expressed anxiety over the content
of Obasanjo’s letter.
On the alleged watch list of 1000
Nigerians and training snipers, Sagay
said, “It is a very serious allegations
and it could set the whole country on a
state of alert and anxiety… the one that
even frightens me most is the
allegations snipers are being trained in
the same school where the Abacha
killer squads were trained and there are
some Nigerians under political watch
list.
“That is very frightening because it is
not something you expect under a
under a civilian democratic regime
except under a military dictatorship. So,
it is very frightening and I am very
unsettled about it particularly given
what happened to Prof. Iyayi whose
cause of death has not yet been
resolved. It is very, very disturbing.”
Also, senior lawyer Femi Falana urged
the Presidency not to dismiss
Obasanjo’s allegations.
“Instead of dismissing the contents of
the letter the Presidency should
respond to the allegations raised
therein seriatim. In particular, the
allegation that the Federal Government
is setting up a Presidential Strike Force
to carry out terrorist attacks on political
opponents should not be swept under
the carpet,” he said in a statement
yesterday.
But Falana said Obasanjo was also
guilty of the kind of offiences he
accused Jonathan of, including
condoning corruption, ethnic politics
and insincerity in covening a national
conference.
Also speaking, Chief Ladi Rotimi-
Williams urged Jonathan to take the
corrections offered by Obasanjo in good
faith and act fast to prevent the nation
from drifting further.
“The President will be doing a great
disservice to himself if he considers the
content of the letter as insultive rather
than taking appropriate action on the
issue discussed,” he said.
Chairman of the Nigerian Bar
Association, Ikeja branch, Mr. Monday
Ubani, said Obasanjo’s allegations were
grievous. “And if those allegations are
true, then something needs to be done
very fast in order to nip all those things
in the bud.
“Clearly, Nigeria is on the verge of
liquidation and if you place over 1,000
people on watch list and you are going
to use snipers to eliminate them as the
President of the country, then that is
very grave for this country,” he said.
Former Lagos State Police
Commissioner, Alhaji Abubakar Tsav,
said the letter was quite “timely and
appropriate.”
Tsav, who spoke in Makurdi, urged the
National Assembly to commence
impeachment process against the
president.
“The letter by Obj is timely and
appropriate considering the
deterioration of the quality of
governance in the country and
astronomical rise in corruption and the
enhancement of the culture of
impunity,” he said.
“It is not malicious, self serving or
hypocritical. Obasanjo has spoken the
truth. He brought in Jonathan and has
the right to advice and correct him if he
veers off the path of honour as he is
now doing.”
