He said, “There is a limit to what Nigerians can take. The younger generation of this country will not sit back and watch you (APC) desperately force a failed leader on them to destroy their future. “Millions of Nigerian youths have already lost their jobs in the last four years. “That is the main reason for the increase in crime across the country.” Abbas while appreciating former President Goodluck Jonathan for conducting a free and fair 2015 election, slammed the conduct of the 2019 election, describing it as a total mess.

* Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi State has denied reports that he misappropriated the State funds. Bello spoke with State House correspondents on Monday at the sidelines of the induction of new and returning governors at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Monday. He said his administration had been transparent and could not be termed corrupt. According to him, the state’s finances, starting from bailout funds to Paris Club refunds and bank statements were published in dailies. He added that with the little resources the state was generating, his administration has been able to achieve a lot of infrastructural development, security among others. “This is what was not done for the state in the past 20 years of Kogi State’s existence before I came on board but under three years we were able to achieve all these successes. “Probably some might think we were using stones or sand to do all these but this is the prudent management of resources and the good hands that we were able to recruit in my cabinet and in governance in the state. “So those that are making such comment; it is a strategy; it is either that they want me to perform more or they are simply living in oblivion." ”They don’t know anything that is happening in the state and they cannot participate in state’s politics as it stands today because we are doing politics of inclusiveness or exclusiveness, the way it was done in the past,” he said.

The Senate has directed the Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment, Dr Okechukwu Enelamah and acting Managing Director of Nigeria Export Processing Zones Authority (NEPZA), Engineer Terhemba Nongo to return alleged diverted N14.3 billion from 2017 NEPZA budget into the National treasury. The upper legislative chamber in a letter written to that effect by Chairman of its Committee on Trade and Investment, Senator Mohammed Nakudu Sabo (APC Jigawa South West), warned the Minister and NEPZA boss to either comply with the directive or be ready to face serious legislative action against them. The dissatisfaction of the committee as explained by Senator Sabo in Abuja Monday was as a result of the alleged fraudulent way the diverted N14.3billion was hurriedly transfered from NEPZA account into a private company called Nigerian Special Economic Zone Company Account between April 8, to10 with disregard to earlier warnings. The alleged diverted fund, according to the Chairman, was first warehoused in NEPZA account with the CBN from 2017 budget allocations before it was moved into the private company account about two weeks ago. “To prevent this fraud, my committee wrote a letter to the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele on the 8th of this month not to release the money but very annoyingly, the money is confirmed to have been released and transfered by NEPZA in collaboration with the Minister into a private company account. “This is unacceptable and will not be condoned, hence the need for the money to be returned into national treasury,” he said.
