OBASANJO LACKS MORAL GROUNDS TO ADVICE LEADERS ; HE IS THE FATHER OF “DO -OR-DIE POLITICS” IN NIGERIA – Fayose


Ekiti State governor and Chairman of the Peoples’ Democratic Party’s (PDP) Governors’ Forum, Mr. Ayodele Fayose, has said that former President Olusegun Obasanjo lacked the moral ground to advise leaders against practising do-or-die politics, since he actually started the unwholesome practice in the country.
In an exclusive interview with Saturday Sun, Fayose, who was reacting to Obasanjo’s charge to leaders to shun do-or-die politics said the ex-president did not represent what he claimed to be, an exemplary elder statesman who loved democracy.
The governor also alleged that the ex-president was corrupt and indeed looted Nigerian treasury while in government. He challenged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate Obasanjo’s assets before he became a civilian President and after he ruled for eight years. He queried whether all his assets were products of his salaries for eight years as President.
How would you react to Obasanjo’s call on political leaders to stop do-or-die politics in the country?
Unfortunately, Obasanjo does not appreciate the need for him to keep quiet. He does not have moral grounds to be saying all these things and that is why I come out every time to tell him that he does not represent what he claims to be.
I want to recall in 2003 and 2006, Obasanjo who removed me from office in Ekiti at all cost for reasons best known to him is the same Obasanjo who removed so many governors from office. It is the same Obasanjo who trampled on Nigeria’s constitution severally, because of his third term agenda.
Why should the same man now come out and say leaders should not engage in do- or -die politics? Where is the moral standing of Obasanjo?
You know, sometimes when people interview him and he does his grandstanding, I laugh when I watch him on the television.
We recall the status of Obasanjo when they went to fetch him from the prison. This was a former President who would just wake up one day and say the governor of Anambra should be removed, because his boy wants to contest election in the state and he ignored an existing court order which later brought former governor Obi back to power and sacked Andy Uba after he had spent only 16 days as governor. That is do -or -die politics. What OBJ did to Rotimi Amaechi is in the annals of history too. He would be the one to insist who should be governor of this and that state.
Recently, he was saying his generation has failed Nigeria and I say his generation did not fail Nigeria, it was him who failed Nigeria, because he has the all time opportunity to right the wrongs, but for his selfishness, he did not recognize late MKO Abiola as winner of the June 1993 presidential election. He said Abiola was not the Messiah being expected. He is the same one that would attack the Awujale of Ijebu land, and same one that would attack Prof Wole Soyinka, he never recognized Chief Obafemi Awolowo as the leader of Yoruba nation and that is why today, even despite holding federal office severally as the President of this nation, there is no one that would recognize him as a leader in the South-West.
So, it is unfortunate, those listening to him are just are doing so in vain, because he doesn’t have the stature, character and the voice.
My opinion about him is that sometimes, people should take Obasanjo’s statements with a pinch of salt and see him as a man who just likes to run his mouth. He does not deserve the honour. Look at somebody talking about corruption, when Obasanjo just returned from the prison, they should go and bring his picture and his asset, what was his worth when he was in prison and what happened after eight years when he looted the treasury.
All those assets he now has in Obasanjo library and university and all that, are they products of his salary? So when they talk in this country we want to be able to listen and evaluate what they are talking about.
Obasanjo should be behind the bars. The money that he used to bribe members of the National Assembly during his botched third term agenda, where did the money come from? Was it from his holier than thou presidency, or what?
The man who served as President for eight years out of the PDP’s 16 years in the country is now telling us the party is not good.
The Yar’Adua we are talking about today who brought him? OBJ. Jonathan himself who brought him? OBJ. So, he is just running his mouth. We would continue to have problems if we listen to Obasanjo.
Most of the other eminent Nigerians who have served as President of this country; are they behaving like Obasanjo?
We learnt that you led a team of PDP governors to visit former President Goodluck Jonathan as part of efforts to resolve the factional crisis rocking the party, how did it go?
We were there at former President Jonathan’s instance. And he was making efforts to ensure that we explore all avenues to have peace in the party. As leaders, we must engage all parties in dialogue that would ensure peace. And there is nothing that we can do that is more than anything based on the truth that we told ourselves.
What advice do you now have for leaders over this issue of do-or-die politics?
You see the military, having ruled this country since the first coup, has shaped our democracy the way it is being practised now. They have so far militarized us. Even after we entered into democracy, the military continued to rule us. Obasanjo spent eight years and Buhari is spending another four years now. So, we are not yet free from militarization.
The attitude would only change when we sit down to talk and jointly decide how we want to be governed and who would govern us. Right now, a cabal has hijacked Nigeria. People who believe that they can do whatever they feel like doing and if anybody wants to die, he can go and die. But they simply forget that it is only God that gives power.
They continue to rule without reference to God. And any nation that abandons God, God will abandon them. So, for me, do-or-die politics has been with us for a long time now. To stop it, we must have an orientation that gives opportunity to the younger generation to determine their future. The need to restructure Nigeria is another issue that we cannot take for granted. We must restructure this country…and the only way forward for us now is to implement the recommendations of the last national conference.

Speak with me to prove you are healthy, Fayose tells Buhari

March 5, 2017 News 41 Views

Gov. Ayo Fayose of Ekiti state has said that rather than shop for outsiders to speak with to prove to Nigerians that President Muhammadu Buhari is hale and hearty, the president should be encouraged instead to speak with him(Fayose) ” I advised the President to speak with me for the purpose of convincing Nigerians that he is hale and hearty instead of looking for people the country to convince Nigerians.”

In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Idowu Adelusi, Fayose picked holes in statements that Buhari had spoken in one week, first with the king of Morocco and next with the president of the African Union. “If their problem is that they are looking for a credible person who can help them convince Nigerians that all is well with our President, Ayo Fayose is their best bet. Let the president speak with me. If I tell Nigerians that the president spoke with me, Nigerians will believe”, he said. Nigerians, he added, are getting suspicious of all the purported visits to Buhari in London as well as his orchestrated telephone conversations with international figures who Nigerians cannot trust to give a true and unbiased report about the president’s state of health.”Since they are eager for the president to speak to people; believing in this way to convince Nigerians that their President is hale and hearty, let President Buhari talk to me. I can be reached on 08035024994. I am credible and Nigerians will believe me”, he said. “They said he spoke to President Donald Trump; despite the hype, Nigerians were sceptical. Then they said he spoke to the king of Morocco; again, Nigerians were suspicious. Before we recovered from that, it is now the AU president that they said President Buhari spoke to. “A president that can speak with outsiders should be able to whisper or wave to his own people. The people gave him the very important platform of President on which he stands today and, therefore, Presidential aides should stop giving the unhelpful impression that Buhari has no respect for the Nigerian electorate.

Fayose condemns FG’s plan to ban Okada, Says; “I won’t ban Okada in Ekiti”


Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’ Forum, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described plan by the federal government to ban commercial motorcycle, popularly known as Okada in the country as wicked, saying; “In Ekiti State, we won’t ban Okada because it is a source of livelihood to a lot of families. Why would anyone even contemplate such when government did not creat alternative employments?”


He said; “With this economic recession that is biting so hard, it is sheer heartlessness for the federal government to even think of sending Okada riders out of business instead of putting machineries in motion to check their excesses.”


According to a statement issued on Sunday, by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose, who was addressing Okada riders that accosted him in Ikere Ekiti on his way from Abuja on Saturday, said; "ban on Okada will worsen the country’s security situation because it will remove foods from the table of so many people.” 


The governor, who promised Okada riders in Ekiti State his continued support and assistance, said; “The federal government has no power to ban Okada in my State and under my watch, no one will prevent Okada Riders from operating as long as they do not go against the laws.”


Governor Fayose said; “The hunger in the land is killing and most of these Okada riders are graduates who have taken to commercial motorcycling to survive because of unemployment. Many of them are even those who lost their jobs within the 21 months of this All Progressives Congress (APC) led federal government and government workers, whose salaries are not being paid regularly. How does the federal government expect them to feed if their means of livelihood is taken away?


“If commercial motorcyclist is a major cause of fatal road traffic accidents across the country, as posited by the federal government, should proposing their ban be an option?


“Should we also say motor vehicles, especially heavy duty vehicles should be banned from plying our roads because they also cause accidents?


“Methinks the federal government should be concerned with the rate of unemployment in the country and the deplorable state of our roads, especially federal roads, instead of seeking to deprive Nigerians, who have taken to riding Okada to save themselves and their families from dying of hunger

Fayose flags off dualization of Ijero Township Road, promises turn around of Health College

19th February, 2017

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose on Sunday flagged off the dualization of Ijero township road with a plea with the people of the town to accord the contractor handling the project maximum support so as to ensure delivery on schedule.

The governor who was welcomed by a mammoth crowd into Ijero with funfair thanked the people of Ijero Kingdom for their unflinching support at all times with the promise to continue doing his best for the growth of the town.

Inspired by accolades and encomiums showered on him by students of College of Health Science and Technology, Ijero Ekiti, Mr. Fayose directed the commissioner for works, Mrs. Funmilayo Ogun to immediately come up with necessary paperwork that will ensure the road to the college is fixed alongside the Ijero Township Road and delivered at the same time.

Vowing not to take for granted Oba Joseph Adebayo Adewole, The Ajero of Ijero's support for his administration, governor Fayose promised to ensure the college is well enhanced by providing structures needed to meet standard with the assurance that the road construction will have minimal effect on electricity and the flow of pipe borne water in the town.

Commissioner for Works, Mrs. Funmilayo Ogun in her address said the Ijero Township Road Dualization is the 11th of its kind in the state. She urged residents to support the contractors so they can get the best from them in terms of project delivery.

In another development, students of College of Health Sciences and Technology, Ijero Ekiti led by the Students' Union President, Comrade Oyebade Adeyemi in appreciation of governor Ayodele Fayose's support for the commoners presented a Voice of the Voiceless Award unto the governor.

Let’s Encourage Mathematics instead of BBN


BY FAITH KIRIAN



The winner of this notorious Big Brother Naija is expected to walk away with N25milion and a car.. All it requires is, live with a set of fellow crazy people, do all sorts of immoral things and win!

Corrupt Our Innocent Children.



If only there could be an educating version of such. If only they could house intelligent scholars like this and make them compete for similar prizes. But, no! Our people do not encourage sanity.



The best in mathematics competitions walks home with ridiculous stipends. Laughable prizes while these morons in BBA earn millions for coming to display immorality on International TVs.



What a generation! What a time! How do we nurture and produce the next Chike Obi’s, the next Bala Usman’s, the next Chinua Achebe’s and the next Wole Shoyinka’s?



What foundations are we laying down for the coming generations? What message of hope and legacies are we leaving behind?



We are losing our minds.

I salute those who spend hours watching the shame of a Show, yet have a short attention span when reading a resourceful book Praying or Solving problems . There is a question mark on what our values are.



Happy Sunday to you All

My prayers are with the President. Bi a ba nja bii ka ku ko (If we are fighting, it is not to the extent of wishing that the President dies. Most importantly, my disagreement with President Buhari is for the goods of Nigerians.


All of us should be praying for him. On the issue of visiting the President, I think they should allow him to rest. Those who are going to the UK to visit him are not helping the President.


You can see that I have not been criticising him now because he is sick. When he comes back, I will start again. The criticism is not because I hate him, it is what is needed for good governance. It is through those criticism that he can even perform better.


My only problem is his handlers who will say one thing today and say another thing tomorrow. The President is only human and he can fall sick like every other person created by God. So, I pray that the President gets well soon so that he can come back home and deliver his electoral promises.  


On FG's plan to ban Okada riders, I want to say that I won't ban Okada in Ekiti. We have over 14,000 Okada riders in Ekiti, if we ban them, how will they feed their families? Besides, has the FG that is calling for ban on Okada provided alternative employment?


We are going to celebrate our women on March 8 and we will do that in grand style because our women are worthy of being celebrated.

In Ekiti, we have so many women who should be exposed to the world and the Women's Day celebration is the beginning of that in Ekiti.

Any town in Ekiti where there are women groups with record of more than 35 members should be registered and benefits like soft loans will come to them.

The Budget Support Facility was withheld purportedly but I thank the minister of finance for her efforts.


What is important now is that the money has been release. I won't want to go into details.


On Thursday, a letter was sent to the CBN that the money be released and it has not been released because the CBN Gov is not in town.


What happened behind the scene is no longer important, it is the resolution of the issue that is important. I thank the minister of finance and the CBN Gov.


I'm not the only gov in this country and I'm entitled to my personal opinions on national issues. What I have said in the media I have also said at the Economic Council meeting.


By next week, workers will be paid.


US President Donald Trump said America first and I love him for that. I'm also saying Ekiti first, Ekiti first and Ekiti first.


I heard that some people want to invade the PDP secretariat herehere in Ekiti on Monday and I advise them to try it.


Some politicians from this State who know that cannot win in this State in 2018 wanted to set the workers against me but they have failed once again.


On that comment by Sheriff  that he will kick me and Gov Wike out of PDP, I don't talk to monkeys. That Appeal Court judgement is just a phase, it will fizzle out. All things will work together for good for me, that's what the Bible says.


All the Governors, National Assembly members, BOT, etc are on this side. So who is he going to be leading?


Whether he is being back by whatever forces, be it external or internal, good luck to him.


Let everybody in PDP calm down, there is salvation ahead of us.

"I can confirm to you that by Tuesday next week, I will get the bank alert for the money, an official communication on the release was passed to me just yesterday (Thursday)."

PDP crisis: Makarfi group heads to Supreme Court, says Appeal Court ruling a disgrace


The Ahmed Makarfi-led faction of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has described the ruling of the Appeal Court on the leadership tussle rocking the party which favoured the Ali Modu Sheriff’s faction as a “disgrace to Nigerian democracy,” adding that it will appeal the judgement immediately at the Supreme Court.

The faction’s position was disclosed by its spokesman, Prince Dayo Adeyeye, while briefing journalists in Port-Harcourt immediately after the ruling.

He alleged that two out of the three Justices that delivered the judgement read a script written by the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) neglecting to consider all the issues relevant to the case.

Adeyeye said: “We are disappointed with the Appeal Court Judgement. The lead judgement is very wrong. The issues were not considered. It is a disgrace not only to PDP but to Nigerian Democracy as a whole. It is a miscarriage of justice.

“Two out of the 3 man Justices of the Appeal Court gave a scanty judgment in favour of Senator Ali Modu Sheriff while one for Makarfi. The one that spoke in favour of Makarfi considered all the issues. She was thorough. In fact, it took the Justice three times the total time it took the other two Justices to deliver their judgement.

“The Judgment has finally shown that the ruling Party, the APC is out to create a one party state in the country.

“Certainly, we are proceeding immediately to the Supreme Court to file an appeal against the ruling of today’s appeal court judgment.”

On the FG's claim that Ekiti didn't meet up with the requirements, Premium Times wrote:

The Ekiti government described the explanation as an afterthought meant to mislead the public.

The Special Assistant to the Governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, said the state signed up for N14.4 billion and had received funds monthly in the last seven months from the ministry of finance.

“So when did they realise that Ekiti State did not meet the conditions? Mr. Olayinka asked. “Or did they send the allocations in the last seven months in error?”

He also argued that there was no warning letter or notification from the ministry of finance before the governor raised the alarm, else there would have been no need for the governor to write a letter to the ministry demanding explanations on the non-release of the funds.

“If they sent any letter, maybe they sent it today, because the governor was there yesterday and before then no one knew the reasons why the funds were not released,” Mr. Olayinka said.

“As I am talking to you, we have not received any letter from the ministry, if they sent any letter, maybe they sent it today. This explanation is an afterthought.”

Mr. Olayinka also said he was aware that the funds was earlier sent to the Central Bank of Nigeria along those of other states, but was later recalled and the name of Ekiti State removed from the list of 35 states.

Naira crashes to 516 as dollar scarcity widens

February 17, 2017

The naira appears to have entered a free fall mode with the local currency selling for 516 per United States dollar on the streets of Lagos on Thursday.

The naira plummeted at the parallel market from 510/dollar on Wednesday to 516/dollar on Thursday.

Currency dealers on the streets of Lagos Island sold the greenback at 516 and bought same for 513. In Egbeda, a major black market centre in Lagos, the naira was sold for 516 and bought at 510. At the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, the dollar was bought on the parallel market for 516 and sold at 513.

On Wednesday, the local currency had closed at 507 against the greenback as acute dollar shortage continued to weigh on the currency market.

The local currency traded at 507/dollar on Monday and Tuesday on the black market.

Experts are divided over the outlook for the naira this year. However, some analysts have predicted that the local currency will take further beating against the dollar this year.

The Chief Executive Officer, Financial Derivatives Limited, Mr. Bismarck Rewane, said the local currency would hit 520/dollar this year on the parallel market and touch 350/dollar at the official market.

An economic expert, Mr. Henry Boyo, has predicted that the naira will hit 1000/dollar on the parallel market this year if the Central Bank of Nigeria fails to review its monetary policy framework.

According to him, the current monetary policy framework adopted by the CBN is skewed against the naira.

Other experts including the CEO of Afrinvest, a local research and investment advisory firm, Mr. Ike Chioke, says the naira will depreciate further against the dollar this year unless the CBN reforms the currency market.

Meanwhile, analysts have predicted that the naira will face fresh pressure on the parallel market next week with dollar supply falling short of demand by persons seeking currency to pay school fees abroad as the CBN continues to ration forex for businesses.

Demand for dollars has soared even though the external reserves have reached $29bn.

The naira continues to trade flat at the official interbank window at 305.5 to the dollar.

Traders said demand pressure was mounting on the black market but dollar supply had not significantly improved, suggesting further depreciation of the local currency might be coming, Reuters reported.

Buhari's health is not APC affairs alone, let Fayose, Wike visit him in London too - PDP youths tell Presidency

A youth group within the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, known as PDP Youth Frontier, PDPYF, has called on the presidency to facilitate a trip to London for governors Ayo Fayose and Nyesom Wike to visit President Muhammadu Buhari.

The group made this position known in a statement released through its Twitter handle @PDPNYF on Thursday following the visit of a delegation from the National Assembly led by the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, to Abuja House in London to see Buhari.

The statement endorsed by the group’s national coordinator, Austin Okai, said the President’s health is not the internal affairs of the APC alone.

It read in part: “Buhari’s health is not the APC internal affairs alone therefore, PDP youths recommend that Fayose and Wike should also visit him in London.”

It's highly time for Gov. Ayo Fayose and Gov. Wike To visit Mr President in London.
that is the only way Nigerians will know truth about PMB health .. Fayose cannot lie about that
It will be fantastic measure to Curtail the foundatioal Lies Of Apc
the national leader's moved to London without fayose and Wike are not complete
we will still be in darkness.

Yes... We trust them because they will give us unadulterated information.
And whatever they said we will believe it

WazobiaReporters vindicated as AGF queries CBN Gov for selling dollar for as low as N3/ $1

Five days after WazobiaReporters exclusively reported that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) was selling forex to some close allies of President Muhammadu Buhari for as low as N3 to $1 through what is called Bills of Collection, the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami (SAN), has queried the CBN Governor, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, demanding “prompt response” to the allegations of corruption in the CBN's foreign exchange allocation and transactions.

Petition against the CBN indicated how some companies and individuals got foreign exchange in US dollars at the rates as low as low as N0.61 to $1 while others got it in rates that were as high as N470 to $1.

Malami, in the letter, dated February 6, 2017, and with reference number, HAGF/CBN/2017/VOL.1/1, asked Emefiele to respond to the allegations “to enable us to advise the Presidency and take appropriate measures.”

Titled ‘allegations of racketeering in the Central Bank of Nigeria; disparity in allocation of foreign exchange’, and addressed to Emefiele, the letter was delivered to the CBN governor’s office on Monday.

WazobiaReporters had reported on February 11, 2017 that the fraud was being perpetrated through a select few in CBN, with claim that Form M was filled and submitted like 35 years ago but forex was not released.

“You just need to claim that importation was done in say 1985 but forex was not released to you despite submitting duly completed Form M.

“With all documents perfected, the forex will then be released at the prevailing rate in 1985.

“Imagine someone getting $1 million at N5/ $1 and selling to end users at say N450/ $1. That is making N445 on $1 and just multiply N445 in one million places.

“That is the fraud going on in CBN now," source disclosed.

For instance, an individual got $4,327 at the rate of N23.34 to $1 through “credit card payment” for “invisible” purpose and under “invisible sector”.

A bank also got $3,589.11 at the rate of N3.19 to $1 also for “invisible” purposes and under “invisible” sector.

There was a transaction involving sale of $66.72 at the rate of N0.62 to $1.

There was also a sale of $5.56 to a company at the rate of N0.61 also for “invisible” purposes.

A particular transaction also involved the sale of $570.8 at the rate N3.17.

In contrast, there was a company, who purchased $1,462,480.83 at the rate of N425 to $1.

2017 BUDGET IS THE BIGGEST FRAUD IN NIGERIAN HISTORY. WHEN INCOMPETENCE IS THE YOUNGER BROTHER TO CORRUPTION



CORRUPTION IS BACK!



By Dr. Aliyu U. Tilde



The biggest case of fraud today is not $2.1b, its $30b…



The $30 Federal budget as proposed is simply fraudulent, these is just no way else to put it.



I had written earlier about the absence of the Education budget on the website of the Budget Office, yes there is a link to the Education budget, but click on it, it takes you to the Defense Budget, so in effect the education is “missing”. Undeterred I looked at the Consolidated Budget to find the Education budget, I wish I did not.



This budget was termed and advertised as a “zero-based” budget, unfortunately, this budget is a fraud, anyone who approves or signs this budget is complicit.



Let me give you a few examples in this ‘missing” education budget, Federal Government College Garki has a cost N400,237 repeated 20 times…20 times! local transport, books, security, maintenance, etc etc etc, all the same cost for N400,237



Federal College Ijanike has N350,362 repeated 12 times, how can newspapers, cleaning, Legal, sporting etc etc etc all cost the same?



Federal College of Iket Nise as N1,278,682 repeated 8 times…. How? water, drugs, training…all cost exactly N1,278,682?



And it goes on and on and on……



Now before you assume it’s just restricted to the Ministry of Education, the ministry with the highest allocation the behemoth Ministry of Works, Housing and Power has a line items repeated 7 times i.e. “Generation of 700mw from Zungeru Hydropower project is duplicated 6 times!



These are just the duplication, what about the appropriateness of the expenses? The State House Hospital, just one hospital gets more allocation than all of Nigeria teaching hospitals combined….



Let me be very clear, the State House Medical Center get a proposed capital appropriation of N3.8b, the combined total of the capital vote for ALL teaching hospitals in Nigeria is about N3.0b….no wonder the capital vote is high this year….



Could the equipment being purchased for the State House Hospital not be installed in the National Hospital, so all Nigerian can use it?



I am just disgusted….



This has implications for all of us. You see in any budget, you list your revenues, then your expenses, the difference is either a deficit or a surplus….in Nigeria case it’s a deficit, a deficit of N2.2t….to fund this N2.2t, Nigeria will borrow $25m a day, yes Twenty-Five Million Dollars a day! you and I will pay for this borrowing, remember oil has crashed, that’s why you’re seeing “stamp duty taxes everywhere



The defense given is that we are borrowing to fund the capital vote, to build roads and rails, this is false. We are borrowing because the recurrent vote has been bloated with numerous repeated “N400,237” and “N1,278,682”. If the recurrent vote is properly audited and these duplication cleaned out, the difference between the revenues and expenditure will fall, and subsequently the borrowing will fall….



This budget is a fraud in intent and content, and truly I am ashamed this fraud has been presented and has been actually passed to second reading….so this will pass? We will actually spend more capital vote on one hospital than ALL teaching hospitals COMBINED?

Buhari Media Center,Abuja. Full Details Of What Goes On There. - Thewailersng

The revelation of the Buhari's Propaganda mill predated the post of Mr Farooq who took to his Facebook page to give some tips about what goes on about the hatchet job as stated below.

"Buhari’s Government of No Substance and Propaganda. By Farooq. PhD
In trying to verify the accuracy of the odd appointment letter I posted here yesterday, I discovered that President Buhari actually has 9, not 6, media aides, all of whom also have a retinue of personal aides.

The presidential media aides are Femi Adesina (Special Adviser, Media & Publicity); Garba Shehu (Senior Special Assistant, Media & Publicity); Tolu Ogunlesi (Special Assistant, Digital & New Media); Lauretta Onochie (Personal Assistant, Social Media); Bashir Ahmad (Personal Assistant, New media); Sha’aban Sharada (Personal Assistant, Broadcast Media); Naziru Muhammed (Personal Assistant, TV Documentary); Sunday Aghaeze (Personal Assistant, Photography); and Bayo Omoboriowo (Personal Assistant/ President’s Photographer).

In addition, the president has about 40 paid journalists, bloggers, media analysts, commentators (whose names I have but will leave out for now), working under the Buhari Media Centre (BMC) in Utako, Abuja. The BMC is a well-furnished one-storey building with expansive premises. It has security guards, clerks, and cashiers. The team members are paid a monthly allowance of between N200,000 and N250,000.
They are mandated to react to all media contents critical of the president, write favorable news items for the president, and attack/demonize/smear people critical of the president. They also work with government agencies such as the EFCC to push narratives to deflect attention from the ineptitude of the government.

They work behind the scenes and use pen names in extended articles, and pseudonyms on social media. Almost all the members of the APC Presidential Campaign Media Directorate operate from the BMC, with the exception of those with appointments. And this excludes Lai Mohammad’s well-oiled lie squad.

When a government takes propaganda and mind-management this seriously, you know it’s not ready to change. Good deeds are their own PR. It is when people determine that they don’t want to do good deeds that they resort to mindless propaganda. If only they invested and expended as much energy in managing the economy as they do in propaganda, we won’t be where we are. I have more, but I will stop here for now. By the way, that appointment letter is authentic".

Based on the post above, as stated by Mr Farooq, one will wonder if Buhari's government can ever make any headway because he dwell and invest more in the business of Propaganda rather than business of governance, the Media Propaganda Center hosts young people who are supposed to be useful serving their father's land in various capacity other than doing dirty political Propaganda jobs.

According to the information available to the WAILERSNG, the Buhari's cretins works in a well coordinated manner with some selected media houses anytime they want to dish out falsehood. For instance, many of them are handlers of Social Media accounts of government agencies.
Anytime they need to push out their propaganda, the information is first shared via the official handle of government agency, the selected media, both online and traditional quickly pick the story for publication, then the hustler boys and girls takes to social media to amplify such propaganda.

The new revelation has angered ordinary Nigerians who have now took it upon themselves to dig deeper to investigate the Buhari's Propaganda Mill, its location and the list of those involved. It won't take much time before every details of the BMC is further exposed to all Nigerians.

Ekiti PDP Crisis: Anti-Fayose's factional leader to explain his allegations against judges or face arrest

The Appeal Court sitting in Ado Ekiti yesterday threatened members of
the Williams Ajayi-led faction of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP)
with warrant of arrest over a letter allegedly written against
members of the 3-member appeal panel , accusing them of corruption and bias.

The justices were:  Ahmad Olanrewaju Belgore, Fatima Omoro Akinbami and Ayobode Olujimi Loluko-Sodipe.

Ajayi’s faction,  had in a letter dated  19th January , 2017 and
signed by the Publicity Secretary of the party, Dayo Owolabi, accused
the justices of the appeal court of being  conscripted into  alleged
conspiracy by Gboyega Oguntuase’s group to arrest the January 24
judgment of the Federal High Court sitting in Ado Ekiti.

The Federal High court , had earlier slated the judgment on who was
the authentic chairman of the party between Oguntuse(respondent), an
ally of Governor Ayodele Fayose and Ajayi(applicant), Senator Buruji
Kashamu’s protégé for that date, but counsel to Oguntuase's faction, Bimpe Olatemiju notified the court about a motion on notice which asked for a stale of proceeding by the lower court pending the determination of the case at the Appeal court on February 1.

He predicated  his action on a motion on notice pending before the
appeal court, praying  for the expunction of the December 13, 2016 proceeding  of the court.

However, Justice Taiwo Taiwo went ahead to deliver the judgment in favour of the applicant based on the argument canvassed by lawyer to Ajayi’s faction, Mr Niran Owoseeni.
The judge also alleged that Olatemiju's notice on the motion on notice amounts to attempt to arrest his judgment.
At yesterday’s proceeding, which was centred on the hearing on the
stay of execution of the judgment of the Federal High Court filed by
the counsel to the
appellant (Oguntuase), Chief Mike Ozekhome(SAN), the justices
confronted Owoseeni with a copy of the letter allegedly written by
his client and submitted to the Registrar of the Appeal Court and another publication on a national daily made prior to the ruling by Justice Taiwo which had also accused the appellant and the Appeal Court justices of attempt to arrest Justice Taiwo's judgment .

The justices also instructed Owoseeni to read to the audience .

The Justices said: “Are you saying you were not aware of the contents
of this letter? We have our own names to protect. We could not have
been party to any attempt to arrest the judgment of the High court.

“We didn’t sit on the 19th of January because one of us was indisposed
and we didn’t form quorum to sit. Judiciary must not be destroyed ,
because if such happens the next stage is anarchy”.

Based  on the information from Owoseeni that the author of the letter has traveled to Abuja , the appeal court justices adjourned the case to February 8, and instructed that the writer of the letter report on the adjourned date or face arrest warrant : “Ask him to come back or else, he will be arrested. We will issue bench warrant against him”, they said.

Owoseni refuted allegation from lawyers to the appellant that he had a pre-knowledge of the contents of the letter , saying : “I can’t be
part of any conspiracy or connivance to destroy the judiciary. I am a
lawyer,  I don’t know how politicians operate. If they had told me, I
would have advised against it.

“I am only seeing the letter for the first time. What I prepared for
today is my notice of preliminary objection against the appeal”, he
said.

Reacting to the development, lead counsel to the appellant, Ozekhome warned against the subjugation of the judiciary   in the
country, saying such could only brew anarchy and return the country to
a pariah state.

“This is what politicians do when they see that a matter is not going
their own way. What they do is to accuse the judges or justices of
bias and corruption, so that they can hands off. It happened to appeal
court justices in Abuja, where they stupidly, idiotically accused them
of corruption.

“Nigeria is operating a constitutional democracy, where matters are
subjected to  adjudication. I didn’t know how a stay of proceeding
filed at the appeal would amount to  arrest of judgement.

“Even in spite of that, the federal High Court still delivered the judgement without respect for court’s hierarchical order, this is condemnable”, he stated.

The Justices adjourned the matter to February 8 for the author(s) to appear in court.

Saraki - I Didn't Ask State Governors to Remove Osinbajo From Office

Nigerian Senate President, Bukola Saraki has denied contracting some State Governors to pressure acting President Yemi Osinbajo to resign.



Saraki's denial was contained in a statement issued late Wednesday night. The statement reads, “My attention has been drawn to a speculation on some online media about supposed meeting of some Governors who held Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to ransom and sought for Senate President, Dr. Abubakar Bukola Saraki to take over the Presidency.

“My first initial reaction was to ignore this empty rumour but after being inundated with calls from across the country and abroad, it became necessary for me to make clarifications from our own end.

“It is a good thing that the Presidency had dismissed the speculation and showed that there is no substance to it.

“However, i feel it should be known that those behind this baseless, empty and unintelligent mischief are those who do not love this country.

“Such suggestions as contained in the speculation can only bring ill-will, disunity and crisis to the country and i therefore advise the sponsors to desist immediately. More importantly, these trouble makers should refrain from linking Senator Saraki’s name to their evil plot.”

Fulani Herdsmen kill thousands, nothing happens.

Apostle Suleiman says kill them first, #DSS starts working

Fayose foils DSS plan to arrest Pastor in Ekiti

Ekiti State Governor and Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governors’s Forum, Mr Ayodele Fayose, in the early morning on Wednesday foiled an attempt by operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) from arresting Apostle Johnson Suleiman of The Omega Fire Ministries World wide in Ado Ekiti.

The firebrand Pastor was alleged to have been preaching against Islamizing  Nigeria and asked members of his church in Auchi, Edo State to resist the killings by suspected Fulani herdsmen, who he alleged of targeting Christians for decimation.

The Pastor who was in Ado Ekiti for a two-day crusade that was also attended by Fayose  was trailed after paying a courtesy visit to the governor at the Government House to his hotel room by the operatives of the DSS in Adebayo area of the State capital who almost forced their way to his  room  but were resisted by security men of the hotel that insisted to know their mission.

Sensing the danger, the Pastor was alerted and he  called Governor Fayose who personally led a rescue mission to prevent the abduction of the Pastor and took him to safety.

The Pastor who narrated his ordeal around 2am said, “I came to Ado Ekiti for a crusade. But I had a premonition that I was being trailed after I  preached that Christians should retaliate any attack or killings by the Fulani herdsmen. These Fulani headmen had turned many Christians to orphans and widowers but the time has come to protect ourselves.

“I received several calls from hidden numbers trying to locate where I am and I had warned my security not to allow any Fulani man to come nearer me. So when the men of DSS came in the middle of the night I knew their mission and I had to call the Governor because if they arrest me, they will put this country in fire”.

Governor Fayose, who expressed surprise that a man of God was been trailed to be arrested by the men of DSS said, he expected the security operatives  to invite him “ if they have any issue with him instead of  arresting him in the dead of the night after a powerful and spirit-filled crusade in my State.

The Governor said, “I personally attended his crusade and I think it is wrong for a man of God who is armless that could be invited if they have any issue against him. Are Christians and Moslems under different dispensation of the rule of law? . That’s why I went there to rescue him. Let them kill two of us together. But when they saw my vehicles and the crowd, they fled.
.

“But we have information that instructions came from DSS in Abuja that the Pastor should be arrested. We are not in a fascist state, Federal Government must learn to respect the rights of Nigerians and freedom of expression”.

Governor Fayose noted that it was unbecoming of the Federal Government to be harassing the clergymen in the country noting that the General Overseer of Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Pastor Enoch Adeboye was harassed and forced to resign shortly after he visited him in Ado Ekiti.

He said, “This is unacceptable, We are in a democracy and Nigerians should warn the Presidency against putting this country on fire because religion is an emotional thing”. 

The governor also warned security operatives against intimidation and arrest of men of God in the interest of peace and religious harmony in the country. The constitution guarantees freedom of worship”.

Ngozi Okonjo Iweala advised us to save but we kicked against it – Peter Obi

Former governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi says Nigerian governors under the Goodluck Jonathan led administration refused to save for the rainy day.

The former Governor revealed that Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, former minister of finance, and Muhammad Sanusi II, former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), begged the federal government to build its savings but the governors kicked against the idea.

I Would Have Performed Better Than Buhari – Remi Sonaiya, KOWA Presidential Candidate

The presidential candidate on the platform of KOWA in the 2015 presidential election, Remi Sonaiya has stated that she would have performed better if given the opportunity to lead the nation. Speaking with Premium Times, the outspoken woman said she was ever ready to lead Nigeria anytime she was called upon.

Asked if she would have done anything better than the current government led by President Muhammadu Buhari, Sonaiya said, “Of course, I would have done better by God’s help. For example, I would have consulted widely in selecting members of my cabinet, so that we would get the best people to manage our affairs in different sectors. Party considerations would not have been primary; the interest of the country would have been.

“And I would have gotten the cabinet in place before my inauguration, so that we would really hit the ground running. It’s strange to nominate people for ministerial positions and not have them assessed by the Senate on their competence in specific areas.”

Bomb Explosion Rocks University of Maiduguri
university-of-maiduguri

Many people have been feared dead after a twin bomb explosion rocked the University of Maiduguri, Borno in the early hours of Monday.

The attack which is believed to have been carried out by terrorist group Boko Haram is the first major onslaught on the university since the insurgency began over seven years ago.

Victor Isuku, the university’s spokesperson, confirmed the explosions.

According to Premium Times, a source within the university said the first blast occurred at a mosque within the staff quarters at the time Muslim worshippers were busy concluding the early morning prayer.

The second attack was said to have happened near the university’s 5th gate usually used by pedestrians.

The newspaper quoted a female student say her father was lucky to have escape the blast after leaving the mosque early.
