Press statement from the Rivers State PDP

The Rivers State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) insists that former governor Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is not qualified to be appointed as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. This is consequent upon the fact that the combined effect of Sections 66 (1) and 147 (5) of 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended and read together, disqualifies Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, former governor of Rivers State from becoming a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In view of the foregoing, it is instructive to spell out the constitutional provision which states as follow:

Section 66 (1) (h) states thus: “No person shall be qualified for election to the Senate or the House of Representatives if he has been indicted for embezzlement or fraud by a Judicial Commission of Inquiry or a Tribunal set up under the Tribunal of Inquiry Act or a Tribunal of Inquiry Law or any law by the Federal Republic of Nigeria or State Government which indictment has been accepted by the Federal or State Government respectively”.

Furthermore, Section 147 (5) states thus: “No person shall be appointed as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria unless he is qualified for election as a member of the House of Representatives”.

Suffice it to hold that Section 147 (5) as spelt out above unequivocally states that what qualifies or disqualifies a member of the House of Representatives applies to a Ministerial Nominee, for which former governor Chibuike Amaechi is one.

The PDP hereby states that Hon. Justice George Omereji Judicial Commission of Inquiry indicted Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, and the report is accepted by the Rivers State Government and the White Paper duly issued.

Against this background therefore, the PDP further insists and submits that by the provisions of the law as enshrined in the 1999 Constitution as amended, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi is not qualified to be a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Jerry Needam

Check out what our Nollywood celebrities wore to the event. They all stepped out in their numbers, looking glam on the red carpet, especially the Aneke twins. I love the fact that they chose not to step out in matching outfits. That was fresh. See it after the cut and let me know if you agree too.

Olawale Omolaja (right) was arrested by men of the Lagos State Police Command for selling a week-old baby for N300,000 to a childless couple. Omolaja was arrested along with a couple Dele and Radiat Onogbile, following a tip-off. He reportedly sold the baby to the couple after they paid him N136,000 as an advance. (left is the biological mother of the baby sold).
All the suspects were caught after the couple’s landlady in the Mile 12 suburb of Lagos discovered that the woman had a new born baby without being pregnant. She was said to have notified the Ketu Police Division of the suspicious presence of a new born baby in the couple’s home. Upon interrogation, it was discovered that Mr Omolaja, billed the couple N300,000 for the baby.

Further investigation revealed that the baby’s mother, Idiat Babatunde, a student at the Offa Polytechnic in Kwara State, initially claimed said she gave Mr Omolaja her baby in order to go and complete her clearance in school,it appears she knew about the sale of her child. Idiat, 39, claimed she left the baby in Mr Omolaja’s care because he’s a doctor and a friend to her husband.
It was also gathered that Idiat collected N70,000 from the 136,000 before leaving for school. She was said to have given the baby up because her supposed husband, Akiola, abandoned her after impregnating her and relocated to Rivers State.
Unable to fend for the child a week after it was born, she handed over the baby to Mr Omolaja, who has been the Onogbile's doctor since 2009. Their marriage was at the brink of collapse as a result of childlessness and that they were separated until the baby was handed over to them on September 14. Idiat said:

"I gave birth in September 5 and on September 13, I gave the baby to Dr Omolaja because I needed to go back to school in order to complete my clearance so that I can go for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) with the next batch. I gave him the baby because I was having issues with my husband and we have been separated. I planned to spend two weeks in school and two weeks in Lagos but that same week that I went to school, I received a call that I should come and identify my baby at Ketu police station. I was surprised because I did not know what my baby could be doing in Ketu."
The childless couple said they repeatedly asked Mr Omolaja about the mother of the child but he told them that the baby's biological mother was dead. Police say all the arrested persons will be charged to court immediately after the current Sallah holidays.

APC has denied abandoning 90 year old Hajia Fadimatu Mai Talle Tara, the old woman who donated her N1 million savings to the Buhari campaign organization. This is in reaction to a Facebook post by one Idis Kuringafa who shared photos of Hajia Tara and said she is down with partial stroke and had been abandoned by the party. In a statement released today by Lai Mohammed, APC said since Hajia Tara was diagnosed with partial stroke, she had been on admission at the Sir Yahaya General Hospital in Birnin Kebbi with all her medical bills being taking care off by the Kebbi state governor.

"When she was discharged from the hospital after 10 days, she was taken to her home town of Koko, where she has been under the care of the resident medical officer, Dr. Kola, who reviews her condition and ensures she gets physiotherapy, in addition to being in constant touch with the Consultant in Birnin Kebbi, Dr. Abubakar Dakingari. The Kebbi State Government has also approved 4 million Naira for her and her attendant doctor to travel to Dubai for further treatment, but she has been too weak to travel. Since Haj Maitalle returned to her home in Koko, the Governor, the First Lady and Sen. Aliero have been in touch with her. The First Lady has personally visited her three times, the Governor and Sen. Aliero once each and the House of Representatives member from her constituency over four times. We have gone to this great length to provide full details of Haj. Maitalle’s condition in order to give Nigerians the correct information about her situation. We do not know what informed the wicked, irresponsible and downright deceitful story that the delightful woman has been abandoned even after she gave her life earnings in support of Buhari’s presidential campaign. The story of Haj. Maitalle’s purported abandonment is a figment of the imagination of the fellow who wrote it,” the statement read

*says Army, Security Agencies did not assist PDP in rigging governorship election

*says he did not witness illegal thumb printing

Plot by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt General Tukur Buratai to help the Rivers State APC Governorship Candidate, Dakuku Peterside at the tribunal suffered a major setback as his representative, Captain Garba Sani told the Rivers State Governorship Election Tribunal that the Nigerian Army did not participate or assist the PDP in any rigging activities in Tai Local Government Area as alleged by the petitioner.

Captain Sani said that he received a signal from the Chief of Army Staff instructing him to testify on behalf of the Rivers State APC.

He led other soldiers to Tai LGA to maintain the peace for the governorship election. He testified on Wednesday.

The Representative of the Chief of Army Staff also declared that he did not see the Police or any other security agency assisting the PDP to manipulate the governorship election.

Captain Sani who was cross examined by Mr Okey Wali (SAN ) counsel to Governor Wike added that he did not see anybody illegally thumb printing ballot papers at any location.

Asked if he wrote a report on the said governorship election in Rivers State, Captain Sani agreed, but said it has been submitted to the Chief of Army Staff. He said that the report was not released to him on his way to the Tribunal.

The Chief of Army Staff said that he led 38 soldiers who he claimed were crammed in two Hiliux Vans.

Asked how the soldiers were able to convey arrested thugs since they had only two Hiliux Vans, Captain Sani could not explain.

He was further asked to explain how the Policemen he claimed they handed over arrested persons conveyed them to a separate location, since they had no vehicle. The Army Captain said he could explain.

The Representative of the Chief of Army Staff said he did not get the identities of the so-called thugs who disrupted elections as he merely handed them over to the police.

Asked if he was aware if those allegedly arrested by him have been prosecuted, the Chief of Army Staff representative said it was not his business to get such information.

Counsel to Governor Wike put it to the representative of the Chief of Army Staff that his testimony was mere hearsay and cannot be relied upon by the Tribunal, since he admitted that he didn’t participate or see anybody rigging.

The so called 38 soldiers in two Hiliux Vans allegedly monitored elections in 10 wards and 91 polling units of Tai Local Government Area of Rivers State.

It remains unclear who directed the Chief of Army Staff to send a Representative to the Tribunal. Many believe that he received the directive from his overall employer.
