Politics / Who Looted Nigeria For 18years? by miikyphil(f): 12:28pm On Feb 22, 2019
WHO LOOTED NIGERIA FOR 18 YEARS?

It's APC!!!

Out of 24 APC governors today, 22 of them were members of the PDP that ruled for 14 years before the formation of APC in 2013 and Now adding another 4 years after taking power in 2015.

As if that is not enough 20 former PDP governors are now in APC and many of them with corruption cases, but PMB's corruption fight "no reach their side."

Current APC Governors that Migrated from PDP:

1. Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State was a PDP Senator.

2. Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State served as FCT minister under the PDP.

3. Governor Aminu Masari of Kastina State was a Former House of Representatives speaker under the PDP.

4. Governor Abubakar Bello of Niger State was a PDP Former Commissioner

5. Governor Badaru Abubakar of Jigawa State was in PDP.

6. Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau state was also in PDP.

7. Abdullahi Ganduje of Kano State was in PDP.

8. Governor Tanko Al-Makura of Nasarawa State was in PDP.

9. Governor Abubakar Bagudu of Kebbi State was a Former PDP Senator.

10. Governor Bindow Jubrilla of Adamawa State was a Former PDP Senator.

11. Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State was in PDP.

Former PDP Governors now in APC:

1. Aliyu Wammako -Sokoto
2. Sai'du Dakingari -Kebbi
3. Murtal Nyako- Adamawa
4. Rotimi Amaechi -Rivers
5. Temiprye Sylva - Bayelsa
6. Sullivan Chime- Enugu
7. Obong Victor Attah- Akwa-Ibom
8. Chris Ngige - Anambra
9. Joshua Dariye -Plateau
10. George Akume -Benue
11. Adamu Abdullahi - Nasarawa
12. Orji Uzor Kalu- Abia
13. Oserheimen Osunbor- Edo
14. Segun Oni -Ekiti
15. Alao Akala- Oyo
16. Danjuma Goje- Gombe
17. Garba Umar- Taraba

Do you know

. Three out of five former Speakers of the House of Representatives under PDP are now in APC?

A former PDP senate president is also in APC?

Two former national Chairmen of PDP are also now in APC?

Hundreds of current APC legislators at both state and national levels were in PDP?

The robbers messed up big time. The last time a deacon stole my phone during a church service in Nigeria, nothing was done to him. Those robbers are undergoing this present predicament because they stole in a shrine. There's God's grace in Zion. Unlike in shrines. Let's be mindful of where we steal and let's be smart in whatever we're doing. God's grace will always abide with us and help us in all our doings.

Politics / Subsidy Fund: Senate To Probe NNPC, Marketers by miikyphil(f): 2:51am On Mar 06, 2017
The Senate says it has concluded arrangements to probe the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation and Independent Marketers over alleged irregularities in the subsidy fund .
The Chairman , Senate Committee on Petroleum Downstream , Sen . Kabiru Marafa , said this on Sunday while briefing journalists in Abuja .
According to Marafa , the NNPC has failed to justify to satisfaction the near N5 . 2 tn spent on subsidy importation of petroleum products from 2006 to 2016 .
“ This sum is in addition to the 445 , 000 barrels of crude oil for domestic consumption. This is more than the annual budget of Nigeria , ” he said .
“ We note allegations already brought to our attention concerning the importation of Automotive Gas Oil under various import contracts wherein hundreds of millions of litres of AGO have been imported and allocated to choice marketers at discounted values , ” he said .
Marafa added that the committee had also established the disappearance of 100 million litres of Premium Motor Spirit worth N14 billion kept in the custody of two companies .
He said the committee would invite NNPC ’ s past and present executives , Heads of Operations and Planning and Desk Management Officers responsible for purchasing of products sold to Nigeria .
“ It is pertinent to stress that where invitees failed to cooperate with us , then adequate sanctions shall be carried out ranging from publishing of names of industry news providers .
“ Where relevant reward and incentives will be available to support the courage of members of the public who come forward, ” he said .
Marafa said that the committee would also implement its own Whistle Blower platform to enable it get information on corrupt practices.
He said that the committee would conduct a three - day public hearing on the matter .

Politics / What Nnamdi Kanu Told Us In Prison — Utomi by miikyphil(f): 2:43am On Mar 06, 2017
A renowned economist and former presidential candidate, Prof . Pat Utomi , tells TOBI AWORINDE that Nnamdi Kanu ’ s continued detention is a violation of the rule of law
Please , narrate your experience during the visit of Igbo leaders to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra , Nnamdi Kanu , in prison .
For some time now, a group of us have been involved in leadership mentoring. We have mentored a group of Igbo professionals who are scattered around the world , many in the United States , some in Nigeria , some in Europe . A number of us had argued that the time for a new generation of leaders is needed . But in some ways, there has been a failure of leadership across the country. But more importantly , in Igboland , we needed a new vision and new kinds of leadership vistas . That discussion resulted in a global group known as Nzuko Umunna . Nzuko Umunna in Igbo basically is a sort of town hall meeting of brothers .
We ’ ve been active on a couple of communication platforms in which we are essentially ceding leadership to a group of people in their late 20 s and 30 s , some of whom are in the US coordinating activities nationwide and around the world. That has resulted in a number of leadership initiatives in which issues , political, economic and social , have been advanced and canvassed, and matters of education , industrialisation and all of those have been in the offing . Among the issues that have come out of such discussions are those that are central to the new Igbo essence , to uplift and uphold the dignity of every Igbo man and engage stoutly to make sure nobody abuses and takes the Igbo person for granted anywhere in the world . So , one of the test cases obviously , which was staring us in the face , was the case of the incarceration ultra vires the rule of law . Of course , there was an imperative of engagement . As part of worldwide consultations , we were asked by this group to pay a courtesy call and get the point of view of the gentleman (Kanu) himself , and after that , to express views to the world . And that was what happened yesterday ( Tuesday ).
For how long has Nzuko Umunna existed as a formal entity ?
In some ways, it is a migration from several groups and platforms . There is, for example , what is called the Igbo Intelligential Forum . There are several other groups , like the Think Tank, Aka Ikenga , all of these. Because values were central to redeeming the Igbo nation, people of strong values were literally handpicked from various other groups to form this kind of body . In this particular form , it has been in existence for perhaps a little less than a year or about a year . But it still has reference into some of the other groups and platforms .
Who are the executive members and the overall leader of the group?
There is a steering group from the US . There are people in Nigeria who are also ( steering ) . There is a board of trustees, in which I am active . But as I said , the essential leadership was given to the 20 - and 30 - year - olds , who are typically intellectuals but they are youngand more active . The person playing a steering role in this group from Texas used to be an assistant of mine a couple of years ago . He is currently a PhD candidate in the US . His name is Joseph Oduomoko .
How many of you went to visit Kanu in Kuje Prison ?
There were many people who wanted to go but we had to keep it trimmed . We were about 14 , if I recall correctly . We had interesting conversations with him . We asked him to tell us what his perspectives were on things , to share on his current incarceration experience , and that was a useful conversation . It helped give us an insight into his consciousness because really , the group ( IPOB ) is a consciousness movement . If you remember Steve Biko and the Black Consciousness Movement in South Africa , this group is ( also) an Igbo renaissance consciousness movement .
Can you share some of the things he told you ?
We discussed the state of the country and perceptions of levels of justice in the country and why the economy is challenged : because of policies of exclusion . We discussed what we generally called the democratisation of discontent in Nigeria . That is to say there seems to be unhappiness about Nigeria everywhere around Nigeria , and therefore , the need to change course for the country. The whole idea is to create a platform for continuing conversation , to harmonise the views of different people about what the most appropriate solution is to this challenge of malcontent .
What are Kanu ’s perspectives on these things you discussed ?
I don ’ t think it is fair to be his spokesperson . He can represent himself and speak for himself . What I took away from the meeting is that he is a very intelligent person . He clearly is not mad . He ’ s very strategic and focused.
What did you notice about the conditions in which he is being kept ?
He seemed quite calm and relaxed. There is a meeting area; he came to the meeting area . We didn ’ t go to into the cell . We did not discuss food and stuff like that . But I think the prison staff and wardens were very polite and professional . That was good .
The Federal Government has accused him of treasonable and inciting acts . Do you think it is fair to call Kanu a felon and a threat to national security?
From my perspective, certainly not . Freedom of expression does not constitute threat to national security , especially when you have the right to reply . The Americans have a doctrine on freedom of expression and I have been privileged to be on the US International Visitor Programme that was focused particularly on freedom of expression .
Among those that participated in that programme with me were Senator Shehu Sani and Hon. Abike Dabiri . Part of the convention on freedom of expression is , “Let a thousand flowers bloom, if there is a lie being told , enough truth will suffocate the life in the marketplace of ideas . ” I think that is a very healthy way to look at expression because the converse to restrict or prevent expression drives down people’ s ideas into silos with more threatening future consequences .
So , I think that there are enough outlets for a different perspective offered by any citizen that the rule of law and the ideas of freedom of expression are much more important in the order of what is good or bad for society than repressive prevention of expression .
In your meeting with Kanu , was there any discussion of him setting aside his pro - Biafra agitation in exchange for his release?
To start with, two courts of competent jurisdiction have tried him . One gave him a bail because he did not find the matter to be of high treason, obviously . If it was high treason, he ( the judge ) wouldn ’ t give him a bail. The second completely discharged and acquitted him , calling for his immediate release . Surely , not doing so is to do damage to the concept of the rule of law . And where the rule of law is assaulted, when impunity reigns — because this is the reason we (All Progressives Congress ) ran against the Peoples Democratic Party ; we argued that they were a party of impunity. It would be inappropriate for us to become a party of impunity. So , the law is there and courts of competent jurisdiction have asked for his release . I think that it is inappropriate to continue to hold a person like that . And I think it is even more inappropriate to ask a person to submit to a denial of his freedom , to express himself in the future as basis for giving him his freedom , which is what, ‘ Promise that you can ’ t talk again , so we can let you go , ’ amounts to . One of the most important factors in the development and human prosperity is when institutions have their legitimacy challenged by impunity or by refusing to obey law , for example . That brings greater harm to the rest of society than whatever may be dysfunctional about allowing a person to express views that you are not happy with.
How do you think Kanu ’s detention will affect the Igbo in the 2019 presidential elections ?
I am not a soothsayer . It is not my place to speculate on presidential elections . It is just my place as a citizen to exercise citizenship behaviour and point to the fact that abuse of the rule of law jeopardises my freedom because I could be the next victim . That ’ s all.
Are you in support of Biafra ?
I don ’ t know what that means . I don ’ t think you have met anyone who is more Nigerian than me, both in my upbringing and the things that I have said . If you want to evaluate , you just go back to my history and read , and find out if you or anybody you know is more Nigerian than I have been . I was born in Kaduna (State ) . I was baptised in Jos ( Plateau State ) . I lived in Maiduguri ( Borno State ) as an infant . I started school in Kano (State ); the bulk of my primary education was in Gusau, now in Zamfara State . I started secondary school in Onitsha ( Anambra State ). Then I had the bulk of my secondary education in Loyola College Ibadan . I attended the University of Nigeria ( Nsukka , Enugu State ) . If you check my history , one of the things I am accused of is that I am more Yoruba than anything else. So , I think that you don ’ t need to ask me a question about that .
How do you think Kanu ’ s continued detention could affect Biafra agitations going forward ?
There is a book that was published last year and at the presentation of that book , former Vice- President Atiku Abubakar called for a restructuring of Nigeria . The title of that book written by Chido Onumah is We Are All Biafrans . Now , Biafra is used in that title as a metaphor to suggest that across the board in Nigeria , people feel this great discontent. In effect , all Nigerians literally have become Biafrans in the sense of discontent with the Nigerian project. If you see the statement that we made , it began with a quote from a statement made just last week by Prof . Ango Abdullahi , in which he said “ Nigeria is not working . ” So , if Nigerians are honest in expressing it (their discontent) in all kinds of different ways and the metaphor for that expression is the word that rallies a people who felt discontent with Nigeria many years ago , that word being ‘ Biafra , ’ I think you have to be careful with your interpretation of what people mean when they say ‘ Biafra . ’ Biafra essentially is a catch-all phrase for being unhappy .
Are you still with the APC?
Of course , I am a passionate , committed member of the APC still , and one of my major commitments is to work internally for the reform of the APC from within .
If the Buhari government has not heeded calls to release Kanu so far , what new approach will you take as Igbo elders ?
We will cross the bridge when we get there. We pace it and take it one day at a time.

Politics / Obasanjo Doesn’t See Any Good In People — Fayose by miikyphil(f): 2:37am On Mar 06, 2017
Ekiti State Governor , Ayodele Fayose , has advised former President Olusegun Obasanjo to emulate statesmen like former Head of State , General Abdulsalami Abubakar.
According to the governor, Abubakar and other statesmen who work hard to keep Nigeria stable and united do not see themselves as saints .
Fayose stated this while answering questions after a visit to the former military head of state in his Abuja residence .
A statement by the Chief Press Secretary , Idowu Adelusi , in Ado - Ekiti on Saturday, quoted the governor as praising Abubakar for his roles , especially before and after the 2015 general elections , in ensuring stability in the country .
In his remarks , Abubakar congratulated Fayose on his election as Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party Governors ’ Forum .
He also said he had been reading about Fayose ’ s activities as a leading opposition figure in Nigeria .
He added that democracy needed a virile opposition to thrive and make progress and commended Fayose for the various developmental projects being executed in Ekiti State .
Asked by reporters if he would embark on such a visit to Obasanjo , Fayose said , “ Former President Olusegun Obasanjo must take a cue from somebody like General Abdulsalami Abubakar who is working for the unity and stability of the country.
“ President Obasanjo must behave like a true statesman . His major weakness is that he does not see anything good in other people or what they do except what he does himself . ”
Meanwhile , the redeployment of the former Commissioner of Police in Ekiti , Wilson Ilalegwu , barely three months after he assumed duty at the state ’ s command and removal of the state ’ s head of Department of State Services have generated controversy in the state as Fayose , Speaker , Ekiti State of the House of Assembly, Kola Oluwawole, condemned the development.
The governor raised the alarm that he was not privy to the redeployment of the security chiefs , adding that the action undermines his office .
Fayose said that as the chief security officer of the state , he ought to have been informed about the reposts .
“ A governor was elected and not appointed. But if those already posted from Buhari ’ s state have come to do some hatchet job in Ekiti , they should have a rethink . Ekiti is very peaceful , nobody should come and destabilise it. These are steps taken ahead of 2018 governorship election . The Federal Government should not do anything funny , ” he said .
Oluwawole, condemning the government , stated that removal of the two security chiefs was to actualise the plan of the All Progressives Congress - led Federal Government to arrest the lawmakers .
He added that Ekiti people and the lawmakers were fully behind Fayose .
Speaking in the same vein , Ekiti Unity Agenda , an umbrella body of elders in the state claimed that the redeployment was politically motivated as a former Commissioner of Police in Kogi State , Abdullah Chaffe , an indigene of Katsina State , took charge of police command in Ekiti .
In a statement issued on Saturday, the group said , “We note with consternation the redeployment of the Director of Department of State Services , Abdulfata Mohammed, an indigene from Katsina State . Ekiti Elders Unity Agenda believes the posting of the two men from President Muhammadu Buhari ’ s state cannot be a mere coincidence considering the role of Governor Ayodele Fayose as a leading voice of the opposition in the country.
“ We have every reason to suspect that their postings are to actualise some sinister agenda and to gag officials of the state government and probably heat up the polity to prepare the ground for an emergency rule . Why is Ekiti the only target of repost of security chiefs ? Are Katsina indigenes the only ones in the police and DSS ? The Commissioner of Police , Wilson Inalegwu , had barely spent three months in the state , so why the rush in redeploying him when the state is enjoying peace and security ?”
