Depriest2020:
They're grooming the future governor of Adamawa state.




A son to Atiku Abubakar, the PDP Presidential standard bearer in the last election, Adamu Atiku and two other immediate past commissioners are to return as new commissioners in Adamawa State.

This is evident in a fresh list of nominees released by Adamawa State Governor, Ahmadu Fintiri, and sent to the state House of Assembly on Thursday.

During Fintiri’s first term, there were 23 names, nominated from the 21 LGAs of the state, with two LGAs, Michika and Jada, having two nominees each.

Adamu Atiku, who was the Commissioner for Works, Dr Umar Pella who was the Commissioner of Information, and Abdullahi Prambe who headed the Community & Rural Infrastructure ministry, are returnees on the list.

Among the fresh nominees are two women, namely Mary Augustina Vassimu and Mrs Nedo Geoffery Kofulto.

The other nominees include Wali Yakubu, Dr John Ishayw Dabari, Usman Abdullahi, Tijani Maksha, Prof Finchiwa Jatau, Joab Haggai Sahma, Ibrahim Yayaji, Chief Felix Tangwami, and Iliya James

The rest are Bello Hamman Diram, Ibrahim Haruna, Kalamu Musa Mohammed, Aloysius Babadoke, Emmanuel Piridmso, Titus Solomon, Anthony Wunfe, Mohammed Sadiq, and Ayuba Audu Tanko.

The N1.9trn revenue is true. But we won’t be sharing all. FAAC will only be sharing N900bn and keep the rest with CBN. The fear is that sharing all will further push inflation and put pressure on the dollar, which will in turn push further the fuel price.

President Bola Tinubu has approved the establishment of Infrastructure Support Fund (ISF) for the 36 States of the Federation as part of measures to cushion the effects of the petrol subsidy removal on the people.

The approval was disclosed at the monthly meeting of the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC), on Thursday July 20, 2023, in Abuja.

The new Infrastructure Fund will enable the States to intervene and invest in the critical areas of Transportation, including farm to market road improvements; Agriculture, encompassing livestock and ranching solutions; Health, with a focus on basic healthcare; Education, especially basic education; Power and Water Resources, that will improve economic competitiveness, create jobs and deliver economic prosperity for Nigerians.

The Committee also resolved to save a portion of the monthly distributable proceeds to minimize the impact of the increased revenues-occasioned by the subsidy removal and exchange rate unification-on money supply, as well as inflation and the exchange rate.

Out of the June 2023 distributable revenue of 1.9 trillion Naira, only N907 billion will be distributed among the three tiers of government, while 790 billion will be saved, and the rest will be used for statutory deductions.

These savings will complement the efforts of the Infrastructure Support Fund (ISF) and other existing and planned fiscal measures, all aimed at ensuring that the subsidy removal translates into tangible improvements in the lives and living standards of Nigerians.

The Committee commends President Tinubu for the bold decision to remove the petrol subsidy, and even more importantly, for providing necessary support to the States to cushion the effects of the subsidy removal on Nigerians.

A young lady identified as Miss Chinyere Awuda was last weekend beaten to death by fun seekers in a club inside Cosmila Hotel in Awka, Anambra State.

The lady, who hails from Nnobi in Idemmili South Local Government Area of Anambra State, was found dead in the swimming pool of the hotel on Sunday morning, where she was dumped after being lynched.

Sources said she was at the club when trouble broke out and a man said to be a popular clubber, Mr. Gabriel Chinemere and his friends started beating her.

“One of the clubbers accused her of picking money which the fun seekers were spraying on their friend who was a birthday celebrant.

“Some others said she did not only pick money, but went for bundles of money, which a clubber stacked by his seat side, waiting to spray on the celebrant,” a source said.

A regular clubber at Cosmila Hotel told DAILY POST that: “Some of these girls just dress up and come to the club and begin to pick money. While you’re spraying your friends, these girls will just be picking and pocketing the money.

“Because men are already drunk in club, the girls get away with the money. I was not in club last weekend, but I heard that the girl went for money that someone kept by his seat side, which he was getting prepared to go and spray. That was what happened.”

So sad

Dear
@PeterObi
,

It's with deepest regret that I have to openly comment on your behaviour, which I consider incompatible with the status of "potential president of Nigeria". The Diana Award 2023 was awarded to 18 Nigerians, but you singled out an Igbo woman to congratulate. What happened to the twin sisters, Eduek and Uforo Nsentip, who also got the award, as well as Yusuf Babatunde, Favour Abatang, Olalekan Ajayi, and the other 12 young Nigerians who received the award alongside the Oyinye Omenugha? They do not deserve to be congratulated because they are not Igbo. Is this not a classical example of bigotry? Perhaps Malam Elrufai was correct when he called you a tribal bigot in 2018. Could you reflect on your behaviour and come to understand that if you ever become president, you aren't going to only be an "Igbo President". Thank you.

INVINCIBLECSP1:
Just like the idiot in ASO rock who cheated his way to the seat of the people. If you think you still have it, allow competition and test your popularity. Stop using money to buy everything. Remember money cannot buy life or breath of life. That drug kingpin should be in jail and not ASO rock.
