Minimum wage should start from 100k at least

fergie001:
Only an untruthful person will be saying a raise on labour's demands will cause hyperinflation or whatever nonsense is posited.

Labour themselves know 494k will not work, but they have learnt how to play the game with the FG. If they go below 100k, it's their own loss and all of this is a waste of time. The FG must be made to dig deep because the President has given a pseudo-hope that there is plenty in there which many of us believe.

It was in this country a President came on board and in no time approved 57.6b for SUVs for how many legislators now?
Proposed a 15b edifice for the VP
Approved an 80b/90b hajj pilgrimage
Went outside the country with over 1000+ persons for COP28
Even a yacht was not spared in the 'celebration'
37b for Court of Appeal building
200 SUVs for customs costing 12.5b and so on...

And someone is saying 60k is okay and going more than that will cause hyper whatever, only malaria can produce that kind of thought!

Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo has admitted that the three-time African champions lost the Africa Cup of Nations final due to the tactics employed by the coaching crew.

The Nigerian side were defeated 2-1 by the hosts, ending the team’s dreams of a fourth continental crown.

Speaking after the game in a video posted on the social media, Omeruo stated that the Eagles played too deeply while dealing with a barren attack against the host nation.

“I don’t know. I think it wasn’t our day. We couldn’t create a lot of chances and we played too deep.”

Super Eagles observe a minute silence for Fans Who Died During South Africa match

The 2013 AFCON winner congratulated Ivory Coast but felt Nigeria’s shortcomings proved decisive before he revealed the mood in the Nigerian camp was one of deep disappointment.

“They (Super Eagles players) are sad, obviously,” he added. “It’s heartbreaking, they have worked hard and deserved to win this trophy but we’ve lost it.”

Looking ahead, the Turkey-based player stated: “For me, it’s back to my club, train and get ready for Friday’s game.”

Omeruo and Kasimpasa will host Fatih Karagumruk in a Super Lig encounter on Friday.

Meanwhile, Alex Iwobi has deleted photos from his Instagram page following Nigeria’s 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast.

Hours after the encounter, Iwobi who has been a subject of stiff criticism from fans, deleted photos from his Instagram handle for fear of cyber abuse.

The Plateau State Police Command on Tuesday disclosed that 86 persons were killed while 221 houses were set ablaze during the Christmas Eve attacks by gunmen in Plateau State.

The State Commissioner of Police, Okoro Alawari, disclosed this on Tuesday in a statement signed by the command’s spokesman, Alfred Alabo.

According to him, the attacks which were carried out by the assailants in 15 communities of Bokkos and Barkin Ladi Local Government Areas of the state also left eight vehicles burnt in the process.

The statement read, “The Commissioner of Police, Plateau State Command, CP Okoro Alawari expresses grief over the deadly attacks that took place in some remote villages of Bokkos and Barkin-Ladi Local Government Areas of Plateau State carried out by some yet-to-identified assailants on the December 24, 2023 at odd hours of the night, and sympathises with the families of those who lost their loved ones in the gruesome attack.

“On December 24, 2023, at 2200hrs, the following 12 villages in Bokkos LGA were attacked; Ndun, Ngyong, Murfet, Makundary, Tamiso, Chiang, Tahore, Gawarba, Dares, Meyenga, Darwat and Butura Kampani.

“Similarly, on December 24, 2023, at about 2245hrs, three villages in Barkin-Ladi LGA namely; NTV, Hurum and Darawat were also attacked.”

The statement said to prevent further carnage, the Commissioner of Police had directed the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations to relocate to Bokkos LGA and also deployed a team of operational forces to the troubled areas to prevent further attacks and assess the level of damages in the affected areas.

“Findings from the assessment of the ugly incidents in Bokkos LGA revealed that the total number of villages attacked is 12; 221 houses were set ablaze, 27 motorcycles were burnt, eight motor vehicles were burnt down and over 79 persons were killed while 17 deaths were recorded in Barkin-ladi LGA.

“Investigation and monitoring of the incidents are still on. Further development will be communicated soon,” the statement added.

Ordinarily, this woman ought to be in jail for being a co-conspirator of that illegal declaration. But no, this is Nigeria she is challenging a valid declaration in court.

Ask yourself whether there is division in the PDP at National level?

1) Collation of Election of BRASS Local Government Area should take place in Brass before moving it to Yenagoa and

2) Military should stop working against us in Southern Ijaw and Brass.

Our imminent victory in Bayelsa must not be truncated.

APC strongholds are to be collated in Yenagoa and not in the Local Government Area, all PDP strongholds in accordance with the law will be collated in their respective LOcal Government Area - this Agenda from INEC must not be allowed to stand.

URGENT: Information at my disposal is that Brass LGA Ward 7, 8, 9 and 10 results are being escorted by 10 gun boats (with INEC official and the speaker of the Bayelsa house of assembly) to Yenagoa LGA for collation instead of being collated in Brass LGA. INEC must ensure they take the material back to BRASS for collation. #sylvalining

The Supreme Court has moved hearing on the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) application seeking to remove Hope Uzodimma from office as Imo state governor to December 5.

The Apex Court had fixed October 31, 2023, for the commencement of a hearing on the matter.

APGA in 2020 filed an application where the party contended that there ought to have been a fresh election in the state after the apex court nullified the election of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Emeka Ihedioha.

The party said the Supreme Court did not rule on the validity of Uzodimma’s candidacy since it was not challenged by Ihedioha and the PDP in the appeal marked SC/1462/2019.

Three years after the application was filed, the apex court fixed its hearing on Tuesday.

However, when journalists visited the apex court on Tuesday, the matter was not listed on the court’s cause list.

One of the apex court registrars told journalists that the case had been moved to December 5.

No reasons were given for the postponement of the case.

MUHAMMADU BUHARI WELCOMES SUPREME COURT VERDICT, MAKES CASE FOR HIGHER VOTER TURNOUT

Former President Muhammadu Buhari says the decision to dismiss the appeals by Alhaji Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party (LP), by the Supreme Court, is a welcome relief to him and to a majority of the citizens of Nigeria.

The former President repeated what he said on the earlier 6 September verdict of the Presidential Election Petition Court, which affirmed President Bola Tinubu's victory, that the welcome decision is "a reaffirmation of the will of the majority of the people against the determined will of a hard-fighting minority."

“Now that we have arrived at the last bus-stop, after a tortuous 8-months of expensive legal journey, the nation deserves a break. The opposition has fought a good fight. Having now exhausted their rights as constitutionally allowed, they should take the hand of fellowship extended by the Tinubu/Shettima government. Let them allow the Government to run their administration and the people to enjoy the full benefits of the promises the All Progressives Congress (APC) made."

The former President expressed concern over low voting percentages all over the country, especially in urban areas, and said this should change, given the acceptance and vibrancy of democracy in Nigeria.

He wishes the President and his team a successful term in office.

Justice Musa Dattijo Muhammad will, on Friday, 27th October, 2023 bow out from the Supreme Court Bench after attaining the mandatory retirement age of 70 years.

A statement made available to newsmen on Sunday by the Director of Press and Information of the Supreme Court, Dr. Festus Akande said a valedictory court session will be held at the Main Courtroom of the Supreme Court on Friday, October 27 in honour of the retired Justice.

The Special Court Session is to be presided over by the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Olukayode Ariwoola, who will customarily, pay tribute to Justice Musa Dattijo alongside other major stakeholders in the nation’s justice sector.

The statement said, Justice Dattijo, who hails from Chanchaga Local Government Area of Niger State, was born on Tuesday, 27th October, 1953 in Minna. He attended Native Primary School, Minna from 1960 to 1966 for his First School Leaving Certificate.

Between 1967 and 1971, Justice Dattijo was at Sheikh Sabbah College (now Sardauna Memorial Secondary School), Kaduna, from where he proceeded to Abdullahi Bayero College, Kano for a Pre-Degree programme which aided his immediate admission into the Faculty of Law at the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria where he bagged a degree in Law in 1977.

He was called to the Nigerian Bar on 2nd July, 1977.

Not satisfied with only a first Degree in Law, Justice Dattijo sought admission at Warwick University in 1982 for an LLM Degree which he obtained in 1983. He took the oath of office as Justice of the Supreme Court on Tuesday, 10th July 2012.

The spokesperson of the Supreme Court said the ascension of Justice Dattijo to the Court of Appeal was more of a reward for hard work, inherent passion for his chosen profession, dedication to duty, and above all, a resolute application of the law in its true letters and words to all cases that came to him.

He earned a well-deserved elevation to the Court of Appeal on 21st November 1998 from the Niger State Judiciary, and served meritoriously at different Divisions.

With the retirement of Justice Dattijo Muhammad, the Supreme Court of Nigeria is now left with ten Justices.

A few weeks ago, I searched for two movies – “Poetic Justice” and “Boyz n the Hood” on Netflix, without success. Instead, Netflix suggested I watch the movie called “UNSOLVED”, a film about the unsolved killing of Tupac Shakur in 1996. The episodes of this movie were exhilarating but the crime remained unsolved even after 27 years, save for the recent arrest of Mr. Duane “Keffe D” Davis in relation to the killing. Ok, let’s get busy.

More than 40 years ago, episodes of advanced forgery, lies, and theft commenced in the life of a man called Bola Tinubu. And twenty years ago, Gani Fawehinmi (SAN) led his prosecution for lying under oath in relation to his claims that he attended the University of Chicago and Government College Ibadan. The prosecution ended underneath the sword of technicalities at the Nigerian Supreme Court.

Enter David Hundeyin, Nigeria’s investigative journalist, and Atiku Abubakar – in 2023, post-presidential election – both in Nigeria and at two Chicago courts. Two jurists ordered the release of Tinubu’s files to Atiku for use at the Nigerian Supreme Court. So, let’s have a breakdown and analysis of the Chicago files to show the extent of the alleged criminal activities of Tinubu from about 1970 to date.

Tinubu claims he attended Government College Ibadan

Tinubu claims that he attended and graduated from the Government College Lagos in 1970. Government College Lagos never existed until 1974, so he could never have attended a non-existent college four years before the college came alive. The owner of the certificate allegedly obtained from Government College Lagos was born in 1954. If the owner of the higher school certificate (HSC) graduated from the non-existent government college in 1970, it means that the person must have entered the college in 1968 because HSC ran for two years.

This also implies that the person (born in 1954) was only 14 years old when he or she completed high school. This is highly unlikely in the 1960s-1970s Nigeria. The most probable thing is that the high school certificate was forged because, as already stated, Government College Lagos never existed before 1974. Let’s get busier.

Tinubu’s claims about Southwest College Chicago

Tinubu claims that he attended Southwest College (now named Richard Daley College) and used the transcript he garnered from the college to gain admission to Chicago State University (CSU). This was a claim from the abyss. The person who attended Southwest College, now Richard Daley College, is/was the author of the forged high school certificate, purportedly gotten from a non-existent Government College Lagos.

It is highly doubtful that Tinubu joined CSU with his own credentials, if ever. The evidence for this conclusion lies in the fact that the Southwest College transcript shows clearly that the transcript belongs to a female as it has an “F” under the gender space in the transcript. This is corroborated by the fact that the social security number linked to the Southwest College transcript belongs to a female from Virginia- USA. These two facts cannot be coincidental, fortuitous or circumstantial by any means.

Tinubu claims he attended Chicago State University

Tinubu may have attended CSU but with a stolen Southwest College transcript. As already established above, the Southwest College transcript belongs to a woman, not to Tinubu. Moreover, Tinubu had previously claimed he attended the University of Chicago at the same time he attended Southwest College. In an affidavit in 1999, Tinubu swore as follows “I attended University of Chicago from 1972 to 1976 and Chicago State University from 1977-1979”. 1972 to 1976 falls within the time he said he attended Southwest College. He could never have attended Southwest College – the same time he attended the University of Chicago, and he has never retracted his claim that he attended the University of Chicago.

Tinubu claims he attended the University of Chicago

As already indicated above, Tinubu swore an affidavit before the 1999 Lagos gubernatorial election that he attended the University of Chicago between 1972 to 1976. He swore as follows “I attended University of Chicago from 1972 to 1976 and Chicago State University from 1977-1979”. This was a lie under oath. First, the University of Chicago has since debunked this claim and made it clear he was never a student there. Second, the period he claims he attended this university was the same period he claims he attended Southwest College (now Richard Daley College). Was he running two parallel programs at the same time? Likely not. He lied under oath.

Tinubu claims he graduated from Chicago State University

This is another big lie, and I will prove it with three calendar dates – May 7, 1979, September 1979, and May 27, 1979. Follow me carefully. Let us analyse using just one of the documents released to Atiku by CSU. Document no CSU-0026 was a letter written to Tinubu by CSU on 7 June 1979. The letter reads as follows:

“On 23 May 1979, you took a placement or qualifying examination in one or more of the following areas- English, Reading, or Mathematics. The following marks indicate the examination results and appropriate steps you should take. Please take this letter with you when you register next term. (Please take note of the phrase- next term, and the date of this letter – 7 May 1979). The letter continues- Your score on the English examination indicates that you have not passed the qualifying examination and the credits that you have previously earned in composition will not be recorded on your transcripts until you have passed the examination. You should enrol in English 222.

This letter, written on May 7, 1979, simply implies that Tinubu took an English qualifying examination but failed the exam; and was asked to retake the exam -English 222 next term. The next term here meant September 1979.

Now get the fraud here. The forged certificate that Tinubu submitted to INEC is dated June 27, 1979. This date is at least two months earlier than September 1979, when Tinubu was supposed to have registered to retake English 222. This means that Tinubu did not present himself in September 1979 to register for English 222. Instead, he graduated himself on June 22, 1979, two months before he was supposed to register and take English 222, which would have helped him to satisfy the requirements for graduation. The truth is that Tinubu did not take English 222; consequently, he did not graduate. So, Tinubu has no certificate prepared for him at CSU because he did not meet the requirements for graduation. In order words, there was never a certificate prepared or generated for Tinubu for collection at CSU.

Again, this is why Tinubu has never attempted to approach CSU to collect a certificate or to be re-issued a certificate. CSU could not be asked to issue a certificate to him because he did not graduate, and CSU cannot be asked to re-issue a certificate that never existed in the first place. This also explains why Tinubu approached “Oluwole” certificate forgers to forge a CSU certificate for him which he presented to INEC. This also explains why Tinubu has two fake graduation dates, namely June 22, 1979, which he created by himself. And June 27, 1979, which was created for him by a CSU insider.

No graduate of any university anywhere in the world has two graduating dates. None. Tinubu has two fake graduating dates because he was never a graduate. The notion that Tinubu is careless or that it would have taken CSU a long time to re-issue him with a certificate if he had asked is complete nonsense. Meanwhile, remember that Tinubu said gleefully at Chatham House in December 2022 that he had received a re-issued certificate from CSU. The transcript in the Chicago bundle dated January 30, 1997, is fake and was concocted by an insider in CSU. Though Tinubu “may” have attended CSU with a stolen transcript, he did not meet the full requirement for graduation of English 222 and, as such, did not graduate.

Note again that during the recent deposition in Chicago on October 3, 2023, the registrar of CSU said that Tinubu never collected “his certificate” from CSU. Yet in 1999, Tinubu swore an oath as follows “I went on exile from October 1994 to October 1998, when I returned and discovered that all my property including all the documents to my qualifications and my certificates in respect of paragraph above (Bachelor of Science degree in Economics – from University of Chicago and Bachelor of Science degree in in Business Administration – from the Chicago State University).

The statement above from Tinubu sharply contradicts the statement by the register of CSU on oath. While Tinubu claimed on oath in a 1999 affidavit that he lost the Bachelor of Business Administration certificate he COLLECTED from CSU while in exile, the register of CSU made a deposition on oath on October 3, 2023, that he (Tinubu) never collected his “original” certificate from CSU. You now ask yourself, which certificate did Tinubu collect from CSU that was lost while he was in exile if CSU confirms that he never collected any certificate from them (CSU)? Oops. Someone is lying on oath here. If you ask me, both lied on oath because Bola Tinubu never had any original certificate to collect because he did not graduate. (Remember English 222).

Tinubu claims he was born in 1955

Tinubu’s alleged USC admission application documents indicate that he was born in 1955. Lie from the pit of hell. The truth is that Bola Tinubu’s exact date of birth is unknown. It is recorded on his Nigerian passport that his date of birth was March 29, 1952, and the Richard Daley transcript which he claims to own (he doesn’t own it), bears the date March 29, 1954, as his date of birth.

As this article was about to go to press, I discovered that about two years ago, Wikipedia had it on their website that Tinubu was born on March 29, 1942. Yes, 1942. The Wikipedia profile entry depicting his date of birth as March 29, 1942, has since been deleted. So, which of these four dates is correct? Your guess is as good as mine.

Though this article is focused on the Chicago files, permit me to add four more ancillary evidence to buttress the points above.

Tinubu claims he earned $1.5 million from Deloitte

Remember that Tinubu claims that he earned $1.5 million from Deloitte company. This is a big Lie from the infernal regions. Deloitte has since debunked this claim and said Tinubu was never in their employment. In a notice issued by Deloitte on September 20, 2022, by Deloitte’s senior legal specialist – Trish Negron, to Mathew Kowals of Leah, Eisenberg and Fraenkel Ltd, the company wrote: “We received a subpoena dated 6 September 2022 seeking employment records for Bola Ahmed Tinubu, please be advised that we have no record of Bola Ahmed Tinubu in our systems and as such have no employment records for them”.

This is conclusive enough and proves beyond doubt that Tinubu was never an employee of Deloitte. His compulsive effortless tendency to concoct lies remains part of the Tinubu mystery.

Tinubu claims he attended Government College Ibadan

Bola Tinubu claims he attended Government College Ibadan between 1965 and 1968. This was part of why the late Gani Fanwehinmi sued him in October 1999 for false statement and declaration on oath. Nevertheless, the old boy’s association of Government College Ibadan had since debunked this claim. Though Tinubu dropped this claim in his 2023 INEC papers, he has never equivocally withdrawn the claim.

Tinubu claims he attended St Paul, Aroloya, Lagos, for his primary education

This school does not exist and never existed.

Tinubu claims $460,000 proceeds of narcotics forfeited to the U.S. government was only against his bank account

In 1990 Tinubu forfeited $460,000 in proceeds of narcotics dealing to the United States, but he claimed the forfeiture was charged against his bank account and not against him. This claim is difficult to process by any known sane legal, moral or ethical logic.

So, let’s recap this chronology of deceit, lies, identity theft, and forgery.

– Tinubu claims he attended St Paul’s School Aroyola (This school never existed).

– Tinubu claims he attended Government College Ibadan. Debunked.

– Tinubu claims he attended Government College Lagos and graduated in 1970- The school never existed in 1970.

– Tinubu claims he attended Southwest College (Now Richard Daley College). He never did.

– Tinubu claims he attended CSU. Maybe, but with a stolen identity.

– Tinubu claims he graduated from CSU. Not at all (please see 5 above).

– Tinubu claims the certificate he tendered to INEC in the 2023 presidential election came from CSU. Lie- CSU has since denied the certificate emanated from them.

– Tinubu claims his date of birth is 1952. If you believe this, you believe anything. Other documents he allegedly claims are his bear other dates of birth — March 29, 1954, and 1955.

– Tinubu claims that the $460k- proceeds of narcotics he forfeited to the U.S. government in 1990 was a charge against his account, not against him. Absurd, isn’t it?

– Tinubu claims he worked with Deloitte. Deloitte has since written and debunked this.

In conclusion, this article highlights a series of unsolved cases related to Tinubu, including allegations of forgery, identity theft, and deceit. The discrepancies in his educational and personal history raise significant questions about his credibility and qualifications.

It remains to be seen how these issues will be resolved, both in the legal system and in the court of public opinion. In previous similar cases like those of Kemi Adeosun, Mmesoma, Salihu Lawal, Nixon, and Boris Johnson, we witnessed sanctions, resignations, and bans. All the necessary and sufficient conditions for Amoda to be disqualified are evident.

While the 27-year-old unsolved murder of Tupac Shakur may be nearing a resolution with recent arrests, it is possible that Tinubu’s alleged misrepresentations and actions could also be nearing some swift end, especially considering judgments and rulings by Nancy Maldonado and Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Gilbert. The ball is in the court of the Nigerian Supreme Court, and ultimately, the court of public opinion will have its say.

The die has been cast.

Tinubu’s Plan To Release IPOB Leader, Nnamdi Kanu Stalled By Southeast Nigerian Politics, Imo Gov Poll

Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) would have regained his freedom but for Imo State politics and the forthcoming governorship election in the state, SaharaReporters can exclusively report.

Kanu, the leader of the separatist group was on June 19, 2021, abducted from Nairobi airport in Kenya and then detained and tortured for about 10 days in Kenya.

Under Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, Kanu was subsequently flown by private plane from Kenya to Nigeria later in June 2021.

Since Kanu was brought to Nigeria to face trial for terrorism charges, he has been detained in solitary confinement at the headquarters of the Department of State Services, Nigeria’s secret police, in the capital city, Abuja.

Mr Kanu, a British citizen, has requested consular assistance from the British government, but the appeals failed.

However, sources in the Presidency told SaharaReporters on Friday that President Bola Tinubu would have ordered the release of Kanu but he was advised against doing so at this time by some politicians close to him.

SaharaReporters learnt that Tinubu was advised to hold on till after Imo State governorship election scheduled for November 11, 2023, as Kanu’s release before then could have political implications in the Southeast region.

“The release of Nnamdi Kanu was stalled by the Southeast politics of Imo. They claimed to Tinubu that his release might affect the election in Imo so the President waited,” one of the sources told SaharaReporters.

On Sunday, another separatist leader Sunday Adeyemo, popularly known as Sunday Igboho, who was in Cotonou, Republic of Benin capital, said that he was now legally free to return to Nigeria, after two years.

Igboho, who has since left the Republic of Benin to see his family in Germany, disclosed that he was now free to return to Nigeria and visit any country in the world.

The Yoruba Nation agitator said he had “fulfilled all the legal conditions attached to my bail few years back and I am coming home to Nigeria, my country of origin, any moment from now”.

Igboho was arrested on July 20, 2021, at Cardinal Bernardin International Airport in Cotonou, while trying to travel to Germany three weeks after he was declared wanted by Nigeria secret police, the Department of State Services (DSS).

Nigerian government made efforts to have Igboho expedited to Nigeria from the Republic of Benin like it was done in Kanu’s case but failed.

He was later granted bail by a Benin Republic court and was allowed to remain in Cotonou.

Igboho commended some prominent Yoruba indigenes, politicians, the media, academia and monarchs for the support he enjoyed in Cotonou.

SaharaReporters had reported that the Court of Appeal in October 2022 discharged Kanu of the counts filed against him. The appellate court subsequently barred any further arrest, detention and trial of Kanu by the agents of the government.

The Nigerian government later appealed against the judgement at the Supreme Court and subsequently got another panel of the Court of Appeal to stay the judgement of the appellate court.

Despite the judgements in favour of Kanu, he has remained in solitary confinement at the facility of the DSS.

On Tuesday, Kanu, through one of his lawyers, Aloy Ejimakor, said the Court of Appeal should not consider adjourning the hearing on IPOB’s appeal challenging its proscription as a terrorist organisation by the Nigerian government.

The Abuja Division of the Court of Appeal in March fixed October 16 to hear the appeal filed by IPOB to challenge its proscription as a terrorist organisation.

The Nigerian government under former President Muhammadu Buhari proscribed IPOB over its alleged killings and other atrocities in its agitation for the actualisation of the Biafra Nation.

On January 18, 2018, a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja held that the proscription of IPOB by former President Buhari's government was in order.

Justice Abdul Abdu-Kafarati of the Federal High Court proscribed IPOB based on the ex parte motion filed by the then Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), on behalf of the Nigerian government, specifically declaring as illegal, all IPOB’s activities, particularly in the Southeast and South-South regions of Nigeria.

But the group approached the Court of Appeal insisting that the trial court erred in law. It pleaded with the court to set aside the order of the lower court and the motion ex parte.

IPOB in its five grounds of appeal contended that Justice Abdu-Kafarati erred in law and occasioned a miscarriage of justice, when he ruled that the mandatory statutory condition requiring Buhari’s approval, under Section 2 (1) (C) of the Terrorism (Prevention) (Amendment) Act, 2013, was satisfied, on the authority of a Memo the AGF issued on September 15, 2017.

The presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi is presently in the Supreme Court seeking to reclaim his stolen mandate and he is focused on that.

He has been in the vanguard of ensuring a just nation where justice must be the watchword, and he will not stop until Nigeria achieves a leadership it truly deserves.

Obi has pontificated severally on the need for leaders to be good role models and to live a life worthy of emulation. This he has done by publicly putting his credentials in the open for verification. Nigeria will get better when men of integrity and honour drive the affairs of the nation.

We therefore welcome every other interest willing to join us in our pursuit of a nation where justice shall reign.

Former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar, Presidential Candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has said the late Human Rights activist, Gani Fawehinmi, inspired him to make inquiries about the certificate of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.


Atiku had filed a suit against President Bola Tinubu over his academic record at the Chicago State University.

He requested the documents to back his allegation of forgery of CSU certificate against Tinubu.

The allegation of forgery was one of those dismissed by the presidential election court in the suit Atiku filed to challenge the election of Tinubu.

Despite the court’s ruling, Atiku continued his case at the US court, hoping to get official documents to back his claim and possibly include them in his appeal at the Supreme Court.

He had argued that there were discrepancies in the certificate Tinubu submitted to the INEC which should have rendered him ineligible to contest the election.

Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Atiku said it should not have taken weeks or months for security agencies to verify certificates of candidates who present themselves for higher office.

“The reputation of Nigeria is at stake. I am a democrat by conviction and citizen of a country that I love.

“I must thank our lawyers, bother here and abroad, for help us bring clarity to this issue that has dragged for about half of a century

“The late Human right Gani Fawehinmi, has vindicated us. Now he can truly rest in peace knowing that the journey he started 23 years ago is on course.”
