1000 percent true, especially in the cases of fayose and fani kayode. But this soft stance of Buhari is what the pdp will use to destroy him. Nobody plays fair with an enemy or opponent who isnt playing fair. Let him sit down there and be playing rule of law while pdp are still rigging elections and influencing judges. Him eye go clear.

TippyTop:
This is Buhari being welcomed to Nigeria with full Scottish bagpipes like he was visiting Scotland.
It's good to make Ajala believe he's in Scotland, that way he may stay longer in Nigeria.

Why can't some of u kids try &learn simple things about governance b4 u come on social networks and spill trash. A president does not have the power to do any capital project or any development plan widout its appropriation by d House of assembly.
This is d reason every sensible Nigerian is hoping the new budget is passed on time.
This isn't the period of impunity and illegality where a President approves funds, spends and share among his fellow party colleagues.

SUPERPACK:
you are wrong the use of card reader just started, many people where nt captured at least me and my 6 brothers and sisters, what of GEJ the card reader refuse to recognise, plus the fact that some people are denied their voting right because they are 17 years at the time of registration, meaning they will start at 21 years instead of 18.
.
Over 75 million PVC were registered in total during the election and many youths could nt register, plus those below the age of 18 are nt accounted for which is about 50 million, plus the elderly and old who could nt stand in line or wait for the registration,

Nigeria’s estimated 170 million population figure is
incorrect, according to Statistician-General of the
Federation, Dr. Yemi Kale.
Speaking in Abuja at the official launch of Enhanced
General Data Dissemination System (e-GDDS), Kale
said the estimates were speculations, adding that the
nation’s population may be less.
According to him, capturing of the population figures
based on three per cent growth rate since 2006 was
faulty, arguing that the nation was not static but
dynamic.
He stressed further that rather marrying early, many
women now opt for western education.
Kale noted that census figures may have been
inflated in some quarters in the past, giving the
impression that more population of humans resides
in certain areas.
“I believe that those who say that Nigeria has a
population of 170 million are wrong. This is because,
you cannot continue to use the three per cent growth
rate used since 2006 to calculate the current
population. So, you cannot say accurately that
Nigeria’s population is 170 million or more. Certain
cultures like early marriage, which used to be the
norm, are now changing. Women are now embracing
western education more than they did years ago.
That is also a factor to consider.
“What used to happen is that some people gave
wrong census of their population in order to create
the impression that they are more in number. So,
these contributed to the higher number bandied
around often. So, with this, you can see that the
nation’s population cannot have reached 170 million
in the real sense,” he clarified.
Speaking on the newly launched National Summary
Data Page (NSDP), Kale said that the bureau, through
collaboration with the International Monetary Fund
(IMF), Ministry of Finance, office of the Accountant-
General of the Federation and the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), is to host general data information
bank on all aspects of the economy.
The aim, he said, was to make information about any
aspect of the country available to both local and
international users through open data platform on
the NBS website.
The Statistician-General also stressed that publication
of essential macroeconomic data would be published
on the NSDP to provide national policy makers,
investors, domestic and international stakeholders
access to information that would enhance the
economy as well as improve access to timely data on
Nigeria.
He added that the new system would encourage
transparency and improve statistical development in
the country.

Nigeria’s notorious Permanent Mission to the United Nations, lead by Ambassador Joy Ogwu, has reportedly mismanaged President Buhari’s official schedule resulting in several missed opportunities and embarrassing moments for the President and his official delegation.

Early Saturday Reuters news agency reported that Nigeria had no official representation at a High Level Meeting on insecurity and displaced people in the Lake Chad Basin region. Nigeria was the only major player not present during the meeting, which was organized by the United Nations Under-Secretary for Humanitarian Affairs Stephen O’Brien, which resulted in international diplomats to say they were disappointed in Nigeria’s conduct.

A Nigerian official speaking on the condition of anonymity with a SaharaReporters correspondent on Saturday said that “at the very least the National Security Adviser should have been present at the meeting.” The NSA Major General (Rtd) Monguno is attached the President Buhari’s official delegation.

The Cable reported today that President Buhari “was also prevented from meeting with Pope Francis because he was not properly briefed by the Nigerian UN mission staff.”

The Cable report continued saying, “the pope delivered a speech at the general assembly on Friday at 10am. Not only was Buhari made to come in late to the meeting because of untidy arrangements, he also took a wrong gate rather than the one reserved for presidents and heads of state. He was subsequently prevented from seeing the pope by security operatives because of his late arrival.”

SaharaReporters spoke with a high level member of President Buhari’s official delegation, who asked that we not use their name, who told our correspondent “the President did have problems with accreditation before the Pope’s speech.” He added “the protocol officers were not adequately briefed.”

SaharaReporters has since learned that protocol and accreditation is the responsibility of Nigeria’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations.

SaharaReporters obtained the official schedule of President Buhari and members of his delegation which did not have the High Level meeting between the Lake Chad Basin official and the top UN Aid Chief Mr. O’Brien.

This same high-level source confirmed to our SaharaReporters correspondent that it was Ambassador Ogwu’s office who developed the schedule and it was her office that chose not to place that High Level meeting on it.

This source told SaharaReporters by phone that “if I had to say it, many members of the [official Nigeria] delegation are not happy. Could things have been better organized? Yes.”

SaharaReporters has also spoke with other members of the delegation who place these blunders on the shoulders of the Nigerian Mission to the UN and Ambassador Joy Ogwu for not adequately briefing the President or coordinating his visit.

This diplomatic debacle seems to be the latest in a series confronting President Buhari and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In July of this year, during President Buhari’s Official State Visit to the United States, hundreds of Nigerians were locked out of their embassy during a public forum—many of whom had official invitations from the embassy. The embarrassing events taking place this weekend at the United Nations comes two weeks after President Buhari announced major shake-ups in the management of foreign missions throughout the world.

SaharaReporters tried repeatedly to contact Ambassador Joy Ogwu and her office however our calls and texts were not immediately answered.
