You forgot to state how many votes South-west gave GMB in the last presidential elections. As you already know, the votes of the SW was quite insignificant to the total votes. The south west has sold the whole south to the north for a morsel of bread. I can assure you that there will be future implications, which you cannot see for now. No matter the alliance formed by a southern zone with the north, One thing you have to understand is that no zone in the south can produce a president of southern origin without the support of other southern zones. An Igbo man and someone from south-south will still rule this country again. Do not ever complain when the same treatment is meted out to your zone by then. A precedence has been set by Buhari. Future leaders will use it as reference, and will have enough facts to justify their actions.
The thing dey pain. Ntorr. The loss of the last election still seems like a nightmare. With time, you will get over the shock.

Why did you not mention the South West that made Buhari the president? The total votes of those northern states you stated would have amounted to NOTHING without the votes of the Yorubas. Now tell me, what is the South West getting in return? Abi there are no qualified people in that region?
South West has gotten the position of the Attack Dog in the person of Adeshina. The Attack Dog named you "Wailing Wailers". I hope he will last long with this trend. Nonetheless, the South West is still expecting some mouth watering appointments from BabaGoSlow the people's general. Note however, that all the votes that PMB got from South West is not up to 1.9 million abi na billion sef that he got from Kano alone, I don't know whether the dead too joined the voting in Kano, Kaduna and Katsina. I am glad that PMB rigged enough to nullify the Rivers, Delta and Akwa Ibom rigging by Goatluck.

When Mustapha Chike Obi was to be made the MD of AMCON he was first nominated by president Goodluck Jonathan and he went through an elaborate screening process - including a final confirmation by the Senate before he became the substantive MD of AMCON..

President Buhari should realise that this is a DEMOCRACY and due process has to be followed to confirm the nominee's qualification, suitabilty and capacity to hold the position as MD of AMCON.

The Senate has a role to play and it must play it fully

Politics › Igbo Groups Want Junaid Mohammed Tried For Treason by simpleseyi(op): 7:58am On Aug 19, 2015
Frontline Igbo socio-political groups on Wednesday condemned the convener of the Coalition of Northern Politicians, Academics, Professionals and Businessmen, Junaid Mohammed, for asking Ndigbo to break away from Nigeria if they feel marginalised.

One of the groups, Njiko Igbo Forum, said Mohammed’s statement amounted to treasonable felony.

President of the Njiko Igbo Forum, Rev. Okechukwu Obioha, who reacted to the development in an interview with our correspondent in Enugu, said Mohammed should be tried for treason.

Also, foremost Igbo socio-political body, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, in its reaction to the matter, described Mohammed as a “northern bigot.”

Mohammed made the statement while replying a former governor of Anambra State, Chukwuemeka Ezeife, who said the Igbo had not been treated fairly in terms of political positions and appointments in the President Muhammadu Buhari administration.

Reacting to the statement made by the former Anambra governor, Mohammed had said, “I don’t believe Buhari or Nigeria owes any Igbo anything.

“I don’t care what Ezeife says – if they (Igbo) had seceded, there would have been no Nigeria today.

“As people who acted outside the interest of Nigeria as a country, to expect compensation is a very odd logic.

“If the Igbo don’t like it, they can attempt secession again.

“If they do, they must be prepared to live with the consequences – nobody owes them anything and nobody is out to compensate them for anything.”

However, reacting to Mohammed’s comments in a telephone interview with our correspondent, Obioha, the leader of the Njiko Igbo Forum, said Mohammed should be arrested and prosecuted for instigating the Igbo to secede.

He said Buhari should show that he meant business when he said there would be no sacred cows during his administration by ordering Mohammed’s arrest.

Obioha said, “He (Junaid Mohammed) should be arrested and charged with treason for suggesting that (secession) at all to the Igbo.

“If President Buhari said there will be no sacred cows during his administration then anybody who is guilty of any crime should not be allowed to go scot free.

“What the man (Mohammed) said amounted to treasonable felony.

“I don’t want to go into whether the Igbo want to secede or not but now he is instigating the Igbo to secede, so he should be tried for treason.

“This statement should not be overlooked – it is like what happened in the past when, after elections, some people said they would make the country ungovernable for the then President, although they later denied making that statement, so many things started happening.”

The President General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Gary Enwo-Igariwey, told our correspondent that the organisation would not like to join issues with Mohammed over what he described as an irresponsible statement.

Please are Aworis not fishermen like Otuoke people? Are Oke Ogun people not farmers? Lets call a spade a spade. Though you do not understand Yoruba history, but I will just give you a brief. Yorubas used to love Ijebus but when the slave trade stated, Ijebu wanted to be the sole intermediary between the slave sellers (African traitors) and the slave buyers (white usurpers) because Ijebu land was the gateway to Lagos port then. This made the Egbas specifically to fight Ijebu for the control of the slave market. The Ibadan people too fought for their own share of the slave market and the slave market monopoly by the Ijebus was broken.

Politics › Face Your Job, Bishop Kukah Tells Buhari by simpleseyi(op): 7:33am On Aug 13, 2015
President Muhammadu Buhari has again been told not to waste further time on his determination to probe officials of former President Goodluck Jonathan, while allowing his main job of offering good governance to Nigerians suffer.

Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah of the Catholic Diocese of Sokoto and spokesperson of the General Abdulsalami Abubakar (Rtd) led National Peace Committee, spoke on Wednesday while addressing journalists after a closed-door meeting between the Committee and Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara in Abuja.

Kukah advised President Buhari to concentrate his efforts on providing good governance, rather than expending his energies on probing deeds of past government office holders.

President Muhammadu Buhari

He said it was better for the government of the day to avoid getting distracted from the core business of governance on account of too much talk about probe.

Kukah’s statement followed an earlier call to President Buhari on Tuesday after the National Peace Committee met with him at the Presidential Villa, Abuja where it advised him against heating up the polity in a bid to tackle the cases of abuse of office and corruption that had characterised the country since the past administrations.

He said that, although, official corruption had set the nation backward, it was also necessary that Nigerians, including those in power, do not get distracted from the core mandate of governance.

Bishop Kukah also noted that the contribution of former President Jonathan should not be discountenanced, even as he expressed belief that the probe agenda of the Buhari government was not targeted at any individual or specific group of persons.

The cleric said he has never believed that the way forward for Nigeria is an all-out probe and prosecution of former public officials.

According to him, previous experiences have shown that taking such route had yielded little or nothing while distracting the government from facing its core duty of providing good governance for the country.

Bishop Kukah had at various forums before and after the March 28, 2015 Presidential election stated that the way forward in the new dispensation is to pay little attention to the ills of the past and concentrate more energies on putting Nigeria back on track.

While Kukah related that Vice President Yemi Osinbajo had during interactions with the peace committee at the villa cleared the air on government’s direction on the probe, adding that the exercise would not be done in a manner that could bring the country down.

His words: “There is no such thing as probe in a democratic setting like ours. What obtains is investigation, and once people lead and things are not right, investigation becomes necessary.

“However, in doing that we must never be distracted from the spectacular actions undertaken by former President Jonathan. He is an individual. I think this whole thing about probe can be ascertained once investigations are concluded. But we are saying that a lot of talks and speculation about this probe are distractions nobody need.

“So the most important thing is that we need a stable country first before we can talk about these things. And they will have happened down the line”, he said.

Restore Public Confidence

Kukah had noted after the Buhari’s victory at the general election that the major task after May 29, 2015 was to restore public confidence in governance, rather than spending so much of his time pursuing perceived thieves.

In April, while delivering a convocation lecture at the Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, he said: “This will be determined by the nature of the choices he makes in assembling a team that would help him in achieving his set goals and moving the country forward.”

Kukah also called on Buhari to embark on the policy of reconstruction, reconciliation and rehabilitation, adding that the country had failed in its past bids to achieve these objectives.

Fighting corruption might sound fantastic, he continued, “but it is a great challenge because the cankerworm is written over all facets of the country.

“I will advise that rather than chasing the ‘thieves’, the president-elect (as he then was) should address the issues of the misery and squalor that have become Nigeria’s lot, as development will raise the best army to fight corruption,” he said.

“His challenge lies in how he responds to the perceived interpretations of his victory, especially within the various institutions, networks and interest groups especially, in the northern part of the country,’’ Kukah said.

He called on Nigerians to see Buhari’s election as an avenue to foster coalition and consensus building, as no group could achieve development alone.

Obasanjo’s Model

Kukah had recommended the method adopted by former President Olusegun Obasanjo when he quietly went after persons believed to have corruptly enriched themselves and recovered much of the looted funds without making a public show of it.

According to him, using officials of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to hound former government officials over alleged corruption would create more of theatrics and drama than achieve concrete results.

The Catholic bishop had given the narratives in an interview with the Vanguard, a national daily, in April before Buhari assumed office.

For him also, “what does going after thieves in Nigeria mean? Between 1999 and 2007 how many governors passed the anti-corruption test? How many did we see on the EFCC list? How many convictions have been secured? So, if Nigerians want theatre and drama that is fine. But we are thinking about bread on the table. I am sure the lawyers in Nigeria will be very happy if Buhari says he is going after the criminals.

“We can appreciate the fact that the success of these elections is not something that the lawyers like to celebrate especially the most senior of them. If Nigerians want him to prosecute the thieves, that is fine but Nigerians did not elect the President to prosecute thieves.

“There are different ways of doing that. We elected a President not to look for scapegoats. We elected the President to get a job done and I am convinced that if Buhari wants to prosecute thieves he will do it because as the President there is no kind of information that he cannot access. Prosecution of corrupt people does not necessarily have to be done through theatre and drama. Obasanjo did it quite efficiently. He got back a lot of money without shouting. There were a few theatricals, but Obasanjo himself did say to my hearing that there were people who returned money even through pastors. So what is the use of wasting money trying to prosecute somebody? Doing that quietly without noise will be better because the business of governance will go on.

“The institutions responsible for prosecution should be made to do that effectively. All I am saying is that getting information about the transactions of corrupt people is easy. It does not have to be Buhari who will be championing it. The institutions are there. There are various arms of government that can point a moral gun at these people.

“This is the only country where you can go to the Senate from the EFCC and become a minister even while having a case with the EFCC. We are on a moral free fall. It is such that after some have been on the television their people will come out to say that their children are being witch-hunted.

“I am not against prosecution, what I am saying is that the business of governance should not be abandoned. I said it during Oputa Panel (hearing) that the unfortunate thing about prosecution in Nigeria is that the criminals have the money to get the lawyers. Since these things can be resolved institutionally, why going on a wild goose chase? Nigerians don’t even have to know who the criminals are. Obasanjo, who has a very retentive memory, can tell Nigerians the people who brought back money without making noise. He only told them to go and sin no more.

“Only a foolish man will appreciate that going after the biggest thieves in Nigeria, is the biggest solution to our problems.

“God has his way of getting things work. Given the enormity of the issues we are dealing with, creating distraction should not be encouraged, because once that route is taken, there would be distraction. All I am saying is that Buhari has come to do a job and I think he was moderate about his expectations about corruption. We should understand that corruption is pretty well equipped in Nigeria. I am not saying that it should not be tackled, but if it must be done it is important to have the wisdom of David and Goliath. “Corruption is everywhere in this country, it is in the judiciary, police, the church and everywhere. Indeed, it is the only thing that works.

“The question we will ask ourselves is how other nations tackled corruption and I think we can actually come to a point where unearned wealth becomes unfashionable. These corrupt people are sick. There is nowhere in the world that people do the kind of things they do in Nigeria. It does not make sense that after stealing from your mother and father, the money will be taken outside the country. The morality of the stealing is another thing.

“A lot of people who do all these don’t know anything about modernity. What is responsible for our crisis in Nigeria is the crisis of development. I hear some of these governors saying that they cannot develop in an environment of insecurity whereas it is their criminal activities that brought about insecurity. It is their inability to govern that brought insecurity. That is why I consider dictatorship a far worse crime than colonialism. If Buhari is lucky it will take him six months before they start abusing him because he has to earn trust. I know the honeymoon is not going to last. But he should be supported to do the job”.

Notorious Fact

Also lamenting on whether all is well between the executive and legislature, given the succession of the committee’s visit to both the Presidency and the National Assembly, Kukah admitted that things are not the way they ought to be in the polity.

“I think what is going on is what the lawyers call notorious fact, everybody knows that things are not the way they ought to be. We are just trying to encourage people that let’s get on with this business of fixing this country.

“Let’s get to the business of realising the change that we dreamt of. And also most importantly, let’s get down with the business of co-operating with God so that Nigeria can move forward.

“I think that is what ordinary Nigerians are expecting, this is what they voted for. The truth of the matter is that time is not on our side. Our responsibility is to encourage politicians to do what they were elected to do”, he said.

He added that the visit as led by the Committee chairman, General Abdulsalami, was in conclusion of their consultations aimed at getting a feel from the stakeholders about their perception of the National Peace Committee and its role.

“We were set up to deal with the issues of the national elections, and we successfully concluded. And the consultation are to help us redefine the role of the committee in order to sustain our democracy”, Bishop Kukah stressed.

Why are all your sons and daughters thieves? Is it spiritual? Why can't your people do without stealing?

Politics › ICPC Indicts Okiro, Asks Him To Refund N133m by simpleseyi(op): 7:41am On Aug 12, 2015
The Independent Corrupt Practices and other related offences Commission has directed the Chairman, Police Service Commission, Mike Okiro, to remit N133m to the Federal Treasury through the ICPC recovery account at First City Monument Bank.

This was the balance of the N350m he received from the Federal Government for staff training and physical monitoring of police personnel during the last general elections.

The ICPC also ordered the workers of the commission who were paid two-way return tickets and airport taxi fares to location within the Federal Capital Territory and states close to Abuja during the monitoring exercise to refund to the treasury N11.75m.

“Consequently, this Commission hereby directs as follows that the total balance of N133,413,845.99 from the N350,000,000 2015 election monitoring exercise domiciled within FCMB be remitted to the Federal Treasury through the ICPC Recovery Account No. 1012929790 at Zenith Bank Plc,” it directed.

The anti-graft agency said this in its report of investigations into allegations of graft levelled against Okiro by a PSC worker, Solomon Kaase, who petitioned the ICPC in May, 2015 over alleged moves by Okiro to swindle the PSC to the tune of N275m.

He alleged that the retired Inspector-General of Police claimed that the money would be used to train 900 PSC workers when the total number of the workers of the commission was 391.

The ICPC confirmed that the PSC had only 391 workers contrary to 900 claimed by Okiro.

It said, “Investigation findings revealed that the commission budgeted for training of 900 (members of) staff and to conduct training in Abuja, Lagos and Kano.

“However, the entire staff force was not more that 391 and that is the figure actually trained in a programme held in Abuja only. The commission accepted the explanation that due process could not be adhered to strictly because of time constraint.”

The report signed by the ICPC Chairman, Ekpo Nta, and dated August 6, 2015, said investigation revealed that the commission paid daily travelling allowances to all members of staff including those based in Abuja that participated in the training programme held within Abuja.

“Air tickets and DTA were paid to management staff and others who monitored elections within Abuja and its environs; even at locations where airports do not exist such as Lokoja and Minna,” the report, which was addressed to the commission’s Permanent Secretary, stated.

The ICPC observed that the PSC chairman collected money for two conferences that ran simultaneously in Dublin and Orlando, Florida, noting that he did expend the ticket fare for the Dublin trip.

The agency, however, said Okiro had written to the Presidency to expend the ticket fare for Abuja-Orlando-Abuja on another trip coming up in October, 2015, stressing that it (ICPC) should be informed if the request was turned down.
