Shut up that stinking mouth if you have nothing useful to say

[size=15pt]Buhari can go to hell then[/size]

delishpot:
Forgive him. Its what his promoters told him. He did not know any better.

Obama, would have chuckled on
hearing that he delayed his cabinet

In paragraph 6 of Buhari's US speech, he claims his failure to appoint ministers and even secretary to the Federal government was same problems Obama faced. Hear him. . "It is worth noting that Obama himself did not have his Cabinet in place for several months after first taking office.

[b]This article with the chart by Ken Agala shows the president that yes Obama delayed one or two positions for a month a two, yet ON SAME INAUGURATION DAY, HE APPOINTED THREE SECRETARIES including Veteran affairs, energy and Interior. The very next day he employed Hilary Clinton as Secretary of state, he appointed for agriculture, education and Homeland security. These are ministries that were essential to governance which Buhari has ignored. Obama with a more stable America did not wait 48 hours before filling over 8 key positions. He added another three in three days and for attorney general, 13 days. labour and Commerce that took two month are ministries that can be overseen by Internal Affairs or some other minister/secretary.

To compare not having even a secretary to state government and also petroleum is incomprehensible. Equally bad is agric ministry in a country that hunger may not be kind to if something is not done about farmers in this planting season. Fertilizers are already 40 percent more expensive than the last administration left it.
[/b]
With Vanguard and other dailies putting stock market loss at 1.3 trillion or thereabout due to Buhari’s dithering, procrastination or perhaps INABILITY to “betray” sponsors and choose true technocrats, it is clear his example is not only false, but he is oblivious of the damage he is doing to investors and the economy. WE NEED INVESTOR CONFIDENCE. Buhari’s delay perhaps erodes it.

Military Roadblocks
are back in Abuja

OF TWO PRESIDENTIAL VISITS TO THE US.

One went with the industry movers like Dangote, finance minister. He got American top businessmen to pay 25k to sit with him and have a meal. GE added a billion DOLLARS to their already 5 Billion investment. They are already building a $1b plant in Calabar Cross river State. And all stocks and offers by Nigeria by Ngozi was over-subscribed with America our biggest investors. This president was to go on and ring the bell at the New York stock exchange. And yes in his time Rice farms, biggest in Africa is in Nigeria is owned by AMerican businesses.
His name? Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.


This present visit already being praised for the SLEEPING QUARTERS offered the president as they predict sleep is essential for an old man. The big bedroom of BLAIR house offered.

In the entourage are the uninspiring Oshiomole whose real talent we do not know, neither that of Amaechi. Son of the president is there too.

Like Kalu Aja says, one would have expectedat least AMbode of Lagos to be there to discuss business opportunity in Africa's biggest economy in a municipality.

But of course it is not a business meeting. IT IS A GIMME NA MEETING. It is a beggybeggy bambiallah meeting. It is "come and help me" meeting.

They forget that no one "HELPS" without it being a business opportunity or one to shine. So Dangote and Otedola and other businessmen are not there to discuss true opportunities for business. NO. This president expects free bullet to shoot Boko Haram?

UNA NEVER KNOW AMERICA.

GudluckIBB:
I don't understand why Apc will have to keep postponing the evil day of exposing PDP.

Open the gutter jare make Nigerians see their rots!

90% of all their allegations are lies to deceive gullible Nigerians like you

We are obviously going to be fed with loads of
propaganda by this APC government

July 12, 2105

Press Statement:

NLNG Funds: Stop Lying To Nigerians, PDP Replies APC


Our attention has been drawn to the misleading and outright falsehood by
the APC.

The truth is that the NLNG had been on a 10-year tax haven until 2014.
Within this period, successive governments, right from President
Olusegun Obasanjo never shared nor tampered with the cumulative
dividends.

Whatever taxes paid from the NLNG go through the Federal Inland Revenue
Services (FIRS) and recorded as part of the income of the Federal
Government.

It is imperative to note that by the end of the tenure of President
Goodluck Jonathan, NLNG dividends had risen to a cumulative $5.6billion
and not a single cent was ever taken from the funds.

Although it is within the rights of the APC administration to spend the
funds in any way they may decide, it is however cruel for them to
inflict on us all such malicious falsehood while the current Presidency,
without the benefit of economic advisers and relevant statutory organs
of government unilaterally decided to deplete the funds without thinking
of the attendant future investments and financial obligations of Nigeria
in the NLNG project.

The APC must note that there is a limit to propaganda and lies. Now is
the time for governance and this government has shown total
unpreparedness to face the challenges of governance at the center.

Signed

Chief Olisa Metuh
National Publicity Secretary

[size=15pt]One love, GEJ[/size]

Very good one, OP

Buhari and his gang are making mockery of Nigeria

[size=20pt]1.2%[/size]

That is about the total number
of votes he got from Borno state

At least 44 people were killed in twin bomb blasts in the central Nigerian city of Jos, the emergency services said on Monday, after a wave of mass casualty attacks blamed on Boko Haram militants. Sunday’s bombings took the death toll from raids, explosions and suicide attacks to 267 this month alone and to 524 since Muhammadu Buhari became president on May 29, according to an AFP count.

The former army general has repeatedly vowed to crush the Islamists and is eyeing the deployment of a strengthened regional force at the end of this month to deliver a hammer blow. But with the death toll rising, attacks increasing and the military seemingly unable to prevent attacks on civilians, he will be under pressure to act fast. – Mosque hit Sunday’s blasts happened within minutes of each other at a shopping complex and near a mosque in the religiously divided capital of Plateau state, which the rebels have targeted before. “At the moment we have 44 dead bodies and 47 others injured from the scenes of the two attacks,” Mohammed Abdulsalam, from the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) told AFP.

Umar Abubakar, who was at the Yantaya mosque for the “Tafsir” or Koran commentary session, said a number of attackers opened fire from outside at about 9:20 pm (2020 GMT). “They fire an RPG (rocket propelled grenade) at the mosque but it hit a metal bar on the facade and exploded,” he said. “Many people were killed and injured from the shooting and the explosion. “It was a miracle I escaped because I can’t explain how it happened.” Daybreak showed the mosque pockmarked with bullet holes and stained with blood, while footwear, books and other personal items were strewn on the ground.

– Restaurant attacked – The second attack targeted the packed Shagalinku restaurant in a shopping complex on the Bauchi Road, which is popular with travellers from the northeast. Local resident Mohammed Shafi’i, who is a regular at the restaurant, said the whole neighbourhood shook from the blast and he counted 25 bodies, including four waitresses. “The restaurant was badly damaged. Bits of human flesh, blood stains, plastic tables and chairs and all sorts of personal items litter the place,” he said.

The carnage in Jos followed a suicide attack on a church in the northeastern city of Potiskum on Sunday, which left five people dead, including the pastor, a woman and her two children. Last week, Islamist militants fighters raided a number of villages around the Lake Chad area, killing more than 150 worshippers as they prayed in mosques.

Buhari said on Sunday that Boko Haram, which has allied itself to the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq, had “declared war on all that we value”. He promised to do “everything possible to eradicate Boko Haram, terrorism and mindless extremism from Nigeria in the shortest possible time”. – Guerrilla tactics

– Boko Haram have resumed guerrilla-style tactics against “soft” civilian targets. The insurgents have been pushed out towns and villages since the turn of the year but the attacks demonstrate the group is not a spent force. Security analysts have suggested a decline in intensity of operations by the existing multilateral force of Nigeria, Niger, Chad and Cameroon has allowed the rebels to regroup and rearm. They also said the increase in attacks during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan has coincided with Buhari distracted by other pressing issues such as tackling the faltering economy.

The crisis rocking the National Assembly took another twist on Sunday as the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has raised the alarm of a plot by the All Progressives Congress, APC, government to arrest and eliminate the Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu.

The alarm was raised by Chief Olisa Metuh, the PDP’s National Publicity Secretary during a press conference at the party’s national secretariat in Abuja.

Below is the full text of the statement titled ‘We Are Under Attack!’


[b]“Gentlemen of the press, We have called you up this Sunday afternoon to address you and through you alert all Nigerians and indeed the international community of a grievous development that is a major threat to our democracy and lives as individuals.

As we address you today, our nation and its citizens are facing a serous danger. We are at the verge of a quick slide into dictatorship and the personal freedom entrenched in the polity in the last 16 years by the PDP is about to be obliterated.

Recall that as a party committed to the unity of the nation and freedom of all Nigerians, we have always expressed fears and doubt regarding the capacity of the APC to pilot the affairs of this country within the generally acceptable democratic tenets.

Our fear all along derives from the poor democratic credentials of most of their leaders, their appetite for violence and overall dictatorial tendencies

Having grabbed the power through fathom promises, Nigerians have seen how the APC in their confusion triggered by greed and lust for power by it leaders have been finding it difficult to form a government almost 40 days after inauguration of the President.

We have also witnessed a relentless onslaught against statutory institutions of democracy and such as the National Assembly where legislative activities have been brought to a halt as well as in INEC which independence has been stripped all due to unwarranted executive interferences ostensibly in line with the agenda to undermine and weaken all statutory instruments of checks and transparency in the polity.

However, today, we have called you to intimate you that the APC’s inclination for totalitarianism has assumed a more alarming dimension with direct threats to life, crude harassment and intimidation of opposition leaders and those holding contrary opinion.

In the last few weeks, our members have become an endangered group for daring to openly criticize President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC for the crisis in their camp, their lack of capacity to get organized and form a government, the interference in the activities of the National Assembly and demand for the implementation of their campaign promises to Nigerians.

As we address you today, some key leaders of our party have been marked for elimination, especially since the emergence of the leadership of the National Assembly which did not go the way of the President and the leadership of the APC, especially the election of PDP’s Senator Ike Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President.

The leadership of the PDP has received a report from the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu of various threats to his life and other forms of intimidation and blackmail from the APC, some federal security agencies and even the Presidency.

As you may be well aware, President Buhari and the APC leaders have not hidden their bitterness and resentment towards Senate Ekweremadu whose offense is the privilege of being elected by his colleagues (APC and PDP senators alike) as Deputy Senate President in line with the Standing Rules of the Senate and the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Since the President’s unfortunate and unwarranted declaration of Senator Ekweremadu’s election as ‘unacceptable’ to him, the Deputy Senate President, who can only be removed through a two-third majority vote by senators, has come under incessant threats and intense pressure to resign and allow an APC senator to take his position.

However, having failed to force him to resign, the desperate APC federal government has now engaged in heinous plots to eliminate the Deputy Senate President.

Apparently to ensure that the agenda is given official stamp, the Inspector General of Police, acting on instructions has invited the Deputy Senate President with a view to arresting him over phantom charges as a build up to incarcerate him, create a vacuum in the Senate and pave way for the imposition of their preferred senator to take over his position.

“We are aware that senators in the Senator Ahmed Lawan’s group met with President Buhari and received assurances that the Inspector General of Police will be directed to arrest the Deputy Senate President and falsely accuse him of altering the Senate Rules on the process of election of the Presiding Officers.

The Lawan group were consequently directed to composed a petition based on which the police via a letter dated July 1, 2015 and signed by the Deputy Inspector General in charge of criminal investigation at the Force Headquarters has invited the Deputy Senate President to appear tomorrow, Monday, July 6, 2015 where he will be detained and put under pressure with forged documents already forwarded to the police by the APC.


Apart from the fact that the Constitution clearly guarantees the two chambers of the National Assembly the powers to regulate their proceedings without external interferences, we note that the petition by the Lawan group lacks merit as Senator Ekweremadu, who was a senator-elect prior to the inauguration of the Senate and the election of presiding officers, could not have been involved in the process of producing the 2015 Standing Rules of the Senate which was strictly done by the bureaucracy under the Clerk to the National Assembly.

Furthermore, Senator Ekweremadu was not in any way involved in the process order than being nominated for the position of the Deputy Senate President and could not have been privy to the secret ballot procedure adopted by the National Assembly bureaucracy, which has been widely adjudged as transparent and credible.

Also, apart from plans to use security apparatus against the Deputy Senate President, we have information that there are instructions to certain officials at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to alter some electoral documents and records to create the impression that Senator Ekweremadu did not file proper documents for the general elections and pave way for his removal.

In line with the above plot, the APC has been having secret meetings with some judges and lawyers to procure injunctions to prevent the Deputy Senate President from playing his role in the Senate.
We are also aware that part of the plot is a conspiracy to tarnish Senator Ekweremadu’s image and open him to public ridicule. Last Monday, the Senator Lawan group and some APC leaders met at the resident of their national leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu to perfect a plot to blackmail the Deputy Senate President. Already, they have procured a notorious female blackmailer from the United States who has been working for Senator Tinubu to handle the dirty job.

We may therefore not be surprised to see outlandish publications against the Deputy Senate President in the media in the coming weeks. The nation now knows ahead of time the source of such publications when they eventually start rolling out.

The PDP wishes to state and in clear terms too that the Presidency and APC leaders should be held responsible if any harm comes to the Deputy Senate President or any of our party leaders for that matter.

We state this because, information available to us indicates that there are also plans to compromise security around the Deputy Senate President to make him vulnerable and open for sponsored violent attacks. This will be followed with onslaughts against other key PDP leaders and Nigerians who hold contrary opinion to that of the APC-led government.

Whilst we do hope that the era of political assassination is not about to return in Nigeria, we want the nation and the international community to note that President Buhari’s statement against the election of Senator Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President as well as his language and posture against the opposition constitute a direct threat and fall short of our expectation and respect for him not only as the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, but also his status and age as an elder statesman to whom Nigerians graciously gave the mandate to lead in a democratic setting.

In Nigeria, the constitution empowers each chamber of the National Assembly to choose its leadership without external interferences. Senators in their wisdom and in exercise of that power and in line with the provisions of the standing rules of the Senate, chose Senator Bukola Saraki and Ike Ekweremadu as Senate President and Deputy Senate President respectively and the constitution is clear on the process for their removal from office.

The Presidency and the APC should not in any way take our civility, decency and commitment to national peace and stability for granted. They should rather be thankful to Senator Ekweremadu and other PDP senators, who in their maturity and discipline stuck to the decision of our party to support Senator Saraki and restrained themselves from using their majority status on the day of Senate inauguration to take over the positions of the Senate President and that of Deputy Senate President, while APC senators where busy attending a party meeting at the International Conference Center (ICC).

The APC and the Presidency must understand that no amount of threats, intimidation and blackmail will make the Deputy Senate President abandon the mandate freely given to him by the Senate, or compel the PDP to abdicate its responsibility as an opposition party, a role we will continue to play with every sense of restrain, civility and patriotism.

On this note, we urge all our citizens, the civil society and indeed the international community, especially the United States which is billed to receive President Buhari in the coming days to note the development in Nigeria, the onslaught against the opposition, eroding of personal freedom, threats to life, disruption of the legislative activities of the National Assembly, undermining of the independence of our electoral body and other dangerous signals that the nation may be on a slide to totalitarianism.
