PoliticsBuhari Withdraws Ibeto From Ministerial List - Vanguard by midolian(op): 10:49am On Oct 14, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari has withdrawn the name of immediate past Deputy Governor of Niger State, Ahmed Musa Ibeto.

The President has sent a letter to the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, notifying him of the withdrawal of Ibeto.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/Ibeto.jpg
IBETO

Vanguard can exclusively report that the letter will be read at the floor of the Senate before screening commence on Wednesday.

Ahmed Musa Ibeto (Santurakin Kontagora) was born on January 15, 1959 at Ibeto headquarters of Ibelu District of Kontagora Emirate in Niger State.
His educational career started when he enrolled at LEA Primary School, Ibeto, in 1966. From 1973 to 1977, the academically ambitious Ahmed was at the government Secondary School, Rijau. Hon. Ahmed’s desire and determination for qualitative education took him to Zungeru College of Advance Studies (ZUCAS), Bida from 1979 to 1980.

From 1980 to 1985, he was at the famous Usmanu Danfodio University, Sokoto where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in History. He started his working career from 1977 to 1978 as a classroom teacher, immediately after leaving secondary school.

He had a stint as a Clerical Officer with the Federal College of Education (FCE), Kontagora, from 1978 to 1979. He served as the NYSC Liaison Officer, Yagba, FCT Abuja, from 1985 to 1986, during his National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) programme.

Hon. Ahmed Musa Ibeto was from 1999 to 2003 appointed Senior Special Assistant on Protocol Matters to the immediate past Governor. He contested and won election into the Federal House of Representatives in 2003 under the platform of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and served as the Deputy Chairman, House Committee on Power and later Chairman, House Committee on States and Local Governments.

* 11:11: Votes of Preoceeding of the Tuesday October 13 session approved.
Senate President reads a letter from President Muhmmadu Buhari withdrawing the nomination of Ahmed Musa Ibeto as ministerial nominee.

* 11: 20:The senate resolved to take a motion on the death of DSP Alamieyeiseigha, former governor of Bayelsa state (who died on Saturday October 10) on the next legislative day.

More UPDATES...

* 11:28: Samuel Anyanwu, chairman of the Ethics and Privileges Committee said the report on the petition against former governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi, was not ready.

He said the committee could not meet on Tuesday because the senate was screening the ministerial nominees. He said the committee would meet later today.

* 11:48: The Senate Leader, Mohammed Ndume in a motion read out names of 10 ministerial nominees from the Order Paper. It was seconded by Senator Philip Aduda. The Senate resolved to dissolve into Committee of the Whole to consider the ministerial nominees.

* 11:49: Former Lagos Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, is the first nominee for screening today. He introduced himself as directed by the Senate President. Mr. Fashola said he is a legal practitioner, Nigerian by birth and that he is 52 years old.

He is currently addressing the chamber. He said he is willing to serve in President Buhari’s cabinet in pursuit of the “Nigerian dream and the Nigerian project”.

More...

* 12: 05: Responding to a question: “My attitude is to see criminals as my competitors. And in a competition my desire is always to win.”
12:09:The former governor says there’s need for decentralisation of the police.

“As governor of Lagos, I didn’t sign cheques. None of my commissioners signed cheques. I didn’t sit in awards of contracts. There is a tenders board.

“The unfortunate thing about money is that it always raises suspicion, even among brothers. In all, nobody has said I have personally enriched myself.

“The concept of loyalty is a very strange concept. May our loyalty never be tested. If your loyalty is tested, you might end up taking bullet for your own children.”

“In public life, I have remained loyal to causes I have signed on to. Nobody can accuse me of going back on my words.”

On the deportation of some destitute from Lagos during his tenure as governor, Mr. Fashola said, “In a federation, the right to free movement is not absolute, it carries with a responsibility not to be a nuisance. He said those moved to their states of origin were those who asked to be taken home.”
Mr. Fashola apologised in the interest of national cohesion.

On judgement debt, Mr. Fashola said he is not able to conclude that it grows because of corruption. He said the first thing to do is to identify the cases for which judgment debts are incurred. On infrastructure, he said resources can be moved to areas where there is urgent need. He said Nigerians appear to be investing more outside their country.
Mr. Fashola said debts are necessary to grow our productivity and nation but that he is not a debt man. Mr. Fashola takes a bow and leaves after about an hour answering questions.

1:02: Ibe Kachikwu, NNPC GMD, is the next nominee on the floor. He has given details of his background. He said he has had 30 years experience in the oil industry. He said he is privileged to be in the upper chambers and appreciates the architectural masterpiece.

The Nigerian senate on Tuesday began the screening of the first batch of ministerial nominees forwarded to it by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Those who appeared before the senate on Tuesday, from the first batch of 21 names forwarded to the Senate on September 30, were Udoma Udoma, Kayode Fayemi, Audu Ogbeh, Osagie Ehanire, Abdulrahman Dambazzau, and Lai Mohammed.
Others were Suleiman Adamu, Amina Mohammed, Ogbonnaya Onu, and Ibrahim Jibril.

The screening continues on Wednesday (today) when Adebayo Shittu, Chris Ngige, Babatunde Fashola and Rotimi Amaechi among others, are expected to appear.

PREMIUM TIMES’ national assembly correspondent, Adebayo Hassan, is in the senate chambers and will bring you live updates of the session, expected to kickoff at 10:00 a.m. Nigerian time

UPDATES..

9.57: Few minutes to commencement of Senate session, none of the nominees has arrived. However, their associates and supporters have already filled the Senate gallery to the brim.

10.05: Ministerial nominee, Khadijat Bukar Ibrahim, arrives.

10.08. Yesterday, the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, announced that today’s session would commence at 10am prompt. Yet most of the Senators are yet to arrive the chambers, while few of them like Stella Oduah, Shehu Sani, Babajide Omoworare are just arriving.
The lateness may be due to the fact that the Senators are used to commencing plenary at 11am.

10: 45: The ministers to be screened today are Babatunde Fashola, Ibe Kachikwu, Abubakar Malami, Chris Ngige, Aisha Alhassan, Solomon Dalong, Kemi Adeosun, Hadi Sirika, Adebayp Shittu and Rotimi Amaechi.

PoliticsRe: Did You See The Mistake On The Ministerial List Sent To The Senator Saraki? (Pic by midolian(m):
So?

Even in the U.S constitution, there are errors, let alone Nigerian ministerial list that was hastily typed and submitted. The word "Pennsylvania" is spelled with a single "n", "Pensylvania" in the U.S constitution.

Another mistake, though less obvious, is a common one even today: the word "it's" is used in Article 1, Section 10, but the word "its" should have been used.

The most common mistake, at least to modern eyes, is the word "choose", spelled "chuse" several times. This is less a mistake than it is an alternate spelling used at the time. The word is found in the Constitution as both "chuse" and "chusing"....etc
http://www.usconstitution.net/constmiss.html
I guess these errors are the reasons for the economic "backwardness" of the U.S. Today. *laughs*

You guys better look for errors that are powerful enough to increase fuel price, take away food from your table, reduce power supply and increase insurgency...

Government, Tuesday, unveiled newly improved National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) certificates to be issued to corps members at the conclusion of the mandatory one year service to their fatherland.

The Acting Director of Certification, Alhaji Aliu Daura, explained that the new certificate would be embossed with the carrier’s photograph in line with the global best practices. According to Olawumi, the issuance of the new NYSC certificate would take effect from Batch ‘C’ 2014, who will be passing out on 15 October.

PoliticsFashola Wins Support Of Lagos Senators… Amaechi Still Stranded by midolian(op):
Babatunde Fashola, former governor of Lagos state and Lai Mohammed, national publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC), have received the endorsement of all the senators from their states ahead of Tuesday’s senate screening of ministerial nominees.

Last week, the senate announced the endorsement of nominees by at least two senators from their states was one of the procedures that would be used for the screening.

But for the support of the Lagos lawmakers, Fashola, who is not thought to be a nominee of Bola Tinubu, whom the three APC senators from the state are loyal to, will have found it difficult to scale through.

On the part of Mohammed, his closeness to Tinubu, who at the moment is at daggers drawn with Senate President Bukola Saraki, would ordinarily have counted against him.

However, both nominees have cleared the major hurdle that would have prevented them from joining the cabinet of President Muhammadu Buhari.

Gbenga Ashafa, representative of Lagos east senatorial district, hinted journalists in Abuja late Monday that Fashola had received the support of all the senators of his state.

He said Oluremi Tinubu and Solomon Adeola, his other colleagues, had unanimously agreed to back the former governor.

“We considered the good work Tunde Fashola did in the eight years he led our dear state and we believe he would be a worthy ambassador of Lagos state in the federal executive  council,” he said.

“We trust his judgement and his intelligence. He put Lagos on the world map and we are proud to call him our own. We believe he will do very well in whatever role he is assigned by our fearless and visionary leader, President Muhammadu Buhari.”

The endorsement of Mohammed was made known through a message posted on the Twitter handle of the senate.

“#MinisterialScreening Alhaji #LaiMuhammed today received endorsement of all Senators from Kwara @bukolasaraki @rafiuibrahim #ShabaLafiagi,” the message read.

However, all the senators from Rivers are yet to back down on their opposition to the nomination of Rotimi Amaechi, former governor of the state.

They are insisting that Amaechi, who has allegations of corruption against him, has to clear his name before being given any appointment.

On Monday, Amaechi appeared before the senate committee on ethics to defend himself and the hearing on the petition was suspended on the ground that the allegations against him were being challenged in court.

But his opponents in the red chamber have not revealed their next line of action, leading to suspicion that except there is last-minute realignment of forces, Amaechi, who worked hard for the victory of the APC in the last election, may not end up a member of Buhari’s cabinet.
