In preventing same faith ticket of either Muslim- Muslim or Christian – Christian for President and Vice President of Nigeria by any political party after the 2023 general election, the Senate is seeking amendment to section 84 of the 2022 Electoral Act.

Move in this direction was made by Senator Smart Adeyemi ( APC Kogi West) on Sunday by showing a draft copy of a bill to that effect to journalists covering the Senate.

Adeyemi at the press briefing said the controversy Muslim – Muslim Presidential ticket of the All Progressives Congress ( APC ) , generating in the polity, necessitated the move.

According to him , to prevent future occurrence , a new sub – section is being proposed to section 84 of the 2022 Electoral Act.

“Section 84 of the Principal Act will be amended by inserting a new subsection 3 which will states thus “No political party shall nominate candidates of the same religion as Presidential candidate and Vice Presidential candidate after the 2023 election.

“When this is accommodated, it will serve as a guide against any oversight such as this in the future as further occurrences will be deemed as silent policy which is capable of bringing down the fabrics of the Nation,” he said.

He added that wide range consultations on the need for the amendment , have been made with the leadership of the Senate and other colleagues.

He however, said though apprehensions raised by the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) over same faith Presidential ticket were genuine but the broadmindedness and pedigree of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Kashim Shetimma, would allay all fears being raised.

Tinubu and Shettima, he added, should be assessed based on their pedigrees and not their religious faith or even political party.

“Nigerians should look at the individuals candidates contesting for the presidency in 2023 and not the political parties they belong to or religion they practice.

“Based on my conviction , despite the same faith ticket , Tinubu and Shetimma are the best for the country come 2023.

“They have demonstrated required capacities , competence and commitment while in office as Executive Governors of Lagos and Borno State separately.

“Asiwaju Tinubu in particular, demonstrated his pan Nigerian disposition with his cabinet composition devoid of tribal or religious sentiments.

“He and Shetimma are in actual fact, Nigeria candidate that should be voted for,” he said.

He lampooned the Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, for violating the zoning policy of his political party by declaring it is the turn of the South, to produce next President.

He also took a swipe at the Presidential candidate of the Labour Party for believing in street show which cannot in anyway be used to win election .

“His Excellency , Peter Obi ought not to have left PDP as required structure for Presidential election .

“Street show or one million man match being displayed by Peter Obi supporters cannot win Presidential election,” he said.

Documents Expose How Ex-Vice President, Atiku Used Wife To Launder $40million To US For Eight Years

report on how former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, was the subject of a probe 11 years ago by the United States Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs chaired by Senator Carl Levin has been obtained by SaharaReporters.

The report detailed how Atiku as Vice President of Nigeria used offshore companies to siphon millions of dollars between 2000 and 2008 to his fourth wife in the United States, Jennifer Iwenjiora Douglas Abubakar.

Jennifer, originally an indigene of Onitsha, Anambra State, and a Nigerian Television Authority News correspondent in the 1980s later moved to and became a citizen of the United States.

According to the report submitted to the US Senate by the committee on February 10, 2010, the illegally transferred money made Atiku an “employer of labor” and a proud owner of American University of Nigeria (AUN), a school, whose tuition fees more than 99% of Nigerian students cannot afford.

SaharaReporters gathered that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain established AUN at a time when public universities were collapsing under him and Obasanjo and poor Nigerian students were languishing at home due to strike action by lectures over poor funding.

Former President George Bush had in 2004 barred Atiku and other corrupt politically exposed persons from being issued visas to the US.

The US Senate probe indicting the former Nigerian Vice President was motivated by US government concern about corruption in the Third World and its corrosive effects on the development of honest government, democratic principles, and the rule of law.

The report partly reads, “From 2000 to 2008, Jennifer Douglas, a U.S. citizen and the fourth wife of Atiku Abubakar, former Vice President and former candidate for President of Nigeria, helped her husband bring over $40 million in suspect funds into the United States through wire transfers sent by offshore corporations to U.S. bank accounts.

“In a 2008 civil complaint, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission alleged that Ms. Douglas received over $2 million in bribe payments in 2001 and 2002, from Siemens AG, a major German corporation.

“While Ms. Douglas denies wrongdoing, Siemens has already pleaded guilty to U.S. criminal charges and settled civil charges related to bribery and told the Subcommittee that it sent the payments to one of her U.S. accounts.

“In 2007, Mr. Atiku was the subject of corruption allegations in Nigeria related to the Petroleum Technology Development Fund. Of the $40 million in suspect funds, $25 million was wire transferred by offshore corporations into more than 30 U.S. bank accounts opened by Ms. Douglas, primarily by Guernsey Trust Company Nigeria Ltd., LetsGo Ltd. Inc., and Sima Holding Ltd.

“The U.S. banks maintaining those accounts were, at times, unaware of her PEP status, and they allowed multiple, large offshore wire transfers into her accounts. As each bank began to question the offshore wire transfers, Ms. Douglas indicated that all of the funds came from her husband and professed little familiarity with the offshore corporations actually sending her money.

“When one bank closed her account due to the offshore wire transfers, her lawyer helped convince other banks to provide a new account. In addition, two of the offshore corporations wire transferred about $14 million over five years to American University in Washington, D.C., to pay for consulting services related to the development of a Nigerian university founded by Mr. Atiku Abubakar.

“American University accepted the wire transfers without asking about the identity of the offshore corporations or the source of their funds, because under current law, the University had no legal obligation to inquire.

“Combating corruption is a key U.S. value and goal, due to its corrosive effects on the rule of law, economic development, and democratic principles. In 2001, the Patriot Act made the acceptance of foreign corruption proceeds a U.S. money laundering offense for the first time, and required banks to apply enhanced scrutiny to private banking accounts opened for senior foreign political figures, their relatives, and close associates.

“In 2003, the United States supported the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, now ratified by over 140 countries. Also in 2003, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) formed an investigative group dedicated to combating foreign corruption by PEPs.

“In 2004, President Bush issued Presidential Proclamation 7750 denying U.S. visas to foreign officials involved with corruption, and Congress later enacted supporting legislation. A 2009 study sponsored by the World Bank analyzed PEP controls worldwide and recommended stronger measures to reduce corruption.

“The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (Subcommittee) initiated this investigation to learn how U.S. laws apply to PEPs utilizing the domestic financial system, and examine how foreign senior political figures, their relatives, and close associates may be circumventing or undermining anti-money laundering (AML) and PEP controls to bring funds that may be the product of foreign corruption into the United States. It is the latest in a series of Subcommittee hearings examining foreign corruption and its U.S. aiders and abettors.

“During the course of its investigation, the Subcommittee staff conducted over 100 interviews, including interviews of lawyers, real estate agents, escrow agents, lobbyists, bankers, university professionals, and government officials.

“The Subcommittee issued over 50 subpoenas and reviewed millions of pages of documents, including bank records, correspondence, contracts, emails, property records, flight records, news articles, and court pleadings. In addition, the Subcommittee consulted with foreign officials, international organizations, financial regulators, and experts in anti-money laundering and anti-corruption efforts.”

It would be recalled that a former US congressman, William Jefferson was in 2010 sentenced to 13 years in jail for corruption that involved US companies and Nigerian officials.

The ruling by Federal Judge, TS Ellis III of the US District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, followed Jefferson's conviction for collecting bribes on behalf of Nigerian officials, specifically, Atiku.

However, the FBI found $90,000 cash, which Jefferson said was meant for the PDP chieftain, hidden in a freezer.

But Atiku and his wife, Jennifer did not accept summons and subpoenas to appear before the US court.

Instead, they moved their family out to Dubai, and put their potomac mansion up for sale.

The Labour Party (LP) presidential candidate, Peter Obi has opined that he cannot embezzle public funds because God has blessed him more than enough.

Naija News reports that the former Governor of Anambra State made this known in a recent event while speaking to some Nigerians in the diaspora.

In a video sighted online, Obi issued a curse on himself if he takes a public fund that does not belong to him.

According to him, he was at a public event where the American President, Joe Biden said he is worth $8.9 million.

However, someone like him from a third-world country is richer than Biden hence questioning why he should steal public funds.

The LP flagbearer added that he is not looking for a private jet, sophisticated house, or eager to own a house in America.

Meanwhile, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Patrick Obahiagbon, has revealed the reason the popularity of the Labour Party

The former member of the House of Representatives said Obi‘s popularity keeps souring nationwide due to the dissatisfaction of the entire political class.

He said Nigerians and particularly Nigerian youths are rallying around the former Governor of Anambra State to save the country.

Obahiagbon made this known during an appearance on a programme on Arise Television, The Morning Show, on Friday.

The former lawmaker, however, saluted Obi’s courage and sincerity to want to cleanse the Nigerian system.

The Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) has failed to sell enough crude oil to offset its petrol subsidy debt to oil marketers in Nigeria.

Data obtained from NNPC’s presentation to the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) for July showed that NNPC incurred a petrol subsidy payment of N448.7 billion in July.

The subsidy payment in July is a record high since the re-emergence of subsidy payment early last year.

Interestingly the document showed that just about N400 billion was the gross domestic crude oil and gas receipts.

This implies that the amount spent on petrol subsidy for the month exceeded the total oil sold for the month by roughly N48 billion.

The report reads: “The sum of N400,469,663,160.14 is the gross domestic crude oil and gas revenue for the month of July 2022.

“The value shortfall on the importation of Premium Motor Spirit or petrol recovered from July 2022 proceeds is N448,782,119,154.91, while the outstanding balance carried forward is N1.044,514,420,619.13.”

Other details from the report shows that Nigeria LNG feedstock gas receipt was $93.88 million, inclusive of $9.39 million arrears, with $2.04 million being miscellaneous receipts, the NNPCL document stated.

Also, like it has done since this year, the NNPCL did not remit a kobo to the federation account.

In fact, the column for that purpose has now been deleted from the document.
