The Senior Special Assistant to President Muhammadu Buhari on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Thursday revealed that there were about 500 Nigerians in Chinese prisons detained for various offences.

Dabiri-Erewa made this known on the side line of an international seminar on Nigeria-China relations in Abuja.

She, however, refuted claims that there were thousands of Nigerians detained in Chinese prisons and explained that there was no prisoner transfer agreement between both countries.

“You hear 2000 but that is exaggerated. I think we have less than 500 Nigerians in Chinese prisons.

“Until we sign a treaty; there is no treaty between both countries for prisoners’ transfer, when that exists the transfer of prisoners would be possible.

“We get a lot of appeals and some prisoners say they want to move from one prison there to another, it is not going to happen.

“We have been talking to them but their law is their law. My appeal to Nigerians is to obey the laws of that country because it is getting tougher; they have sanctions and they follow through.”

A birthday symposium was held in honour of the Transport Minister and former Governor of Rivers State, Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, who recently turned 52.

While Amaechi was speaking at the event held in Port Harcourt, on Friday night, Channels Television placed a disclaimer dissociating themselves from the the ex-governor's views. Those who watched it said he was talking about Governor Wike, and what he was saying was apparently so offensive that the TV station eventually yanked him off their network.

Presidential Spokesman Shehu Garba has dismissed an article by a Nigerian historian, Max Siollun, which speculates that Nigeria faces imminent political and constitutional crisis on account of President Buhari’s absence to attend to his health in London.

According to him, the “needlessly sensational and exaggerated speculations by conspiracy theorists” are misleading to compare President Buhari’s case to that of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, He said that the circumstances are completely different.

“While Yar’Adua was too severely ill to transmit a letter formally to the Senate President and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, President Buhari is not in such medical state, and therefore, the country is not currently facing any complications on account of his absence.”

The media aide noted that under Yar’Adua, there was uncertainty about the role of the Vice President because the late President was not in a position to formally transfer power to his deputy, which necessitated the resort to the doctrine of necessity to enable Dr. Goodluck Jonathan act in his absence.

Malam Shehu explained that, currently, none of these circumstances prevail in Nigeria on account of Buhari’s absence for medical treatment.

Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose, has urged President Muhammadu Buhari, to resign if he truly loves the country, as ill-heath is not allowing the President to effectively discharge his constitutional duties.



Fayose, who addressed newsmen in Lagos on Tuesday, said being an avowed corruption fighter, Buhari is now under moral burden to save Nigeria from needless stagnation arising from his heath challenges that have impacted negatively on his performance.



The governor said fighting corruption was not limited to ‎discovering large sums of money here and there, but doing the right thing at the right time.



He opined that taking a bow when necessary was also an indication of being morally upright.



The governor, who appraised the two years of the Buhari administration, said the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government had failed to deliver on its promises.
‎
"So far, the APC-led Federal Government has been a government of misadventure and Nigerians are worse for it. They say they are fighting corruption but are shielding corrupt elements within their fold.



Members of the opposition defect to the APC for protection‎. Fighting corruption is more than discovering huge sums of money all over the place, with nobody being traced to be the owners, moral corruption too is bad.
‎
"He can do us the great help by resigning. Not resigning bothers on his integrity.‎ His absence allows others to suppress and oppress others and that means he is allowing others ‎ to suppress their fellow human beings.‎ There are many governments in one and they are clueless.‎ We need an active president going by our numerous challenges. ‎How long will Nigerians wait for an incapacitated president‎?



‎"We cannot wait again for somebody to hold us to ransom.‎ I don't have any bad blood against Buhari Osinbajo has no powers without the president. He owes us the duty to tell us the state ‎of his health," the governor said.



On the performance of the economy, Fayose said it had gone from bad to worse.‎
He noted that the middle class had been wiped off.
‎
"There is no middle class any more ‎.Economic indicators are not cherry at last. They borrow money on daily basis and committing funds that ought to accrue to all tiers of government to servicing the loans," he added.

On the much-touted rescue of Chibok girls. Fayose reiterated that the whole set up was a blackmail against former President Goodluck Jonathan, adding that one day, the true story would be revealed.


On insecurity in Nigeria, Fayose said more people had been killed by insurgents and herdsmen than in any other period in the history of Nigeria.


He wondered why no Fulani herdsmen had been arrested and prosecuted despite the atrocities perpetrated across the country.

President Muhammadu Buhari's adviser on social media Lauretta Onochie has condemned former Aviation Minister Femi Fani Kayode for criticizing Vice President Yemi Osinbajo.

Fani-Kayode had condemned Osinbajo for saying Buhari treats him like a son.

Reacting, Lauretta asked why Fani-Kayode must comment on everything. She released a post to this effect:

MUST FFK SPEAK ON EVERYTHING?

Commenting on everything is an indication that there are some loose nuts, upstairs.

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo saying Muhammadu Buhari treats him as a son and a friend, has become a source of anger and anxiety for Femi Fani-Kayode, alias #FFKFood4Dance

But who can blame him? He cannot understand father/Son relationship, respect, decency & loyalty. No he can't.

He doesn't posses the capacity to even begin to comprehend any sort of relationship. None!

According to his former boss, Pres. Olusegun Obasanjo, all he understands is the correlation between looted Food and his mouth. Give him some looted yam and he will dance. Till the loot runs out....

#FFKFood4Dance and his co-mischief makers, cannot, no matter how they try, put a wedge between our two leaders. The bond that holds our leaders together, is not personal. It's their shared commitment to Nigeria and Nigerians.

It won't be broken by those who speak and act as if they are on the white stuff.
