Still believe Akpabio made a wrong move... truly the man died in Akpabio

Akpabio’s Defection the Beginning of the End of PDP — APC Chieftain, Eze

….Tells OBJ, Atiku & others to beware of Wike

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has described the defection of Senate Minority Leader, Chief Godswill Obot Akpabio, to the ruling party as the beginning of the end of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Eze, an early member of PDP and one of those who dumped the party in 2014 to become foundation members of APC, said in a statement issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM on Monday in Port Harcourt said that Senator Akapbio deserves commendation “for acting wisely and jumping out of the crashing PDP train before it finally crashes.”

“Knowing Akapbio very well, he is a one-man Tsunami and with him in the progressives train, PDP’s end is only a matter of time. What is more, with Akpabio now in APC , Dr. Bukola Saraki, who recently made the mistake of defecting to PDP, can be sure that his Presidency of the Senate is only a matter of weeks,” Eze said.

The former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New PDP described the present sorry state of PDP under the control of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and Prince Uche Secondus as most unfortunate.

He noted that “Wike, who was a mere local government chairman in 1999, has through deft political scheming turned many key Nigerian leaders now in PDP into his disciples.”

He wondered “how great leaders like General Olusegun Obasanjo, Atiku Abubakar, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Saraki, Governor Aminu Tambwual and even Uche Secondus could stoop so low to be taking orders from Governor Wike, whose brand of politics is retrogressive.”

Eze advised these great Nigerians and others in PDP to beware of Wike, “who has mastered the art of pocketing any political leader that comes his way.”

He urged all those still remaining in PDP out of the belief that it would be revived to act very fast before Wike ensures the extinct of the party in 2019.

The lawmaker representing Bayelsa East Senatorial District, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce, has hailed former President Olusegun Obasanjo for seeking medical services within Nigeria while President Muhammadu Buhari seeks his own outside the country.

In a veiled reference to Buhari in a post on his Facebook page on Thursday, Murray-Bruce described the President as the most famous health tourist.

He wrote, “A few days ago, I was with President Obasanjo in Bayelsa where he went for his medical check-up. That is a leader who believes in Nigeria. That is a leader who loves Nigeria. Meanwhile, I hear that London would soon have a visit from one of her most famous health tourists.”

Buhari will begin a 10-day leave on Friday (today) and will attend to his health in London during the period.

Meanwhile, Murray-Bruce in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle alleged intimidation of the opposition by the Buhari-led administration and the ruling All Progressives Congress.

He tweeted, “Using law enforcement officials to oppress political opponents and rivals is wrong for the simple reason that you may not always be in power and your precedent may be used against you. A president that wants to sleep in peace when he hands over should be careful how he uses power.

“The more the @MBuhari-led @OfficialAPCNg government persecutes us, the more we in the @OfficialPDPNig become more united and determined to rid Nigeria of a blaming and inept administration and return Nigeria to the path of unity, peace and prosperity! PDP is one united family!”

The lawmaker cited the example of the Governor of Benue State, Samuel Ortom, who defected from the APC to the Peoples Democratic Party and was levelled with allegations by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Murray-Bruce tweeted, “Governor Sam Ortom, you are not alone. They can bring the police and the EFCC against you but in good times and in bad times, we will be by your side standing shoulder to shoulder with you to uphold genuine democracy for the people of Benue and the whole of Nigeria!

“To all those who are tired of the reign of dictatorship, impunity, incompetence and ineptitude on display in the APC, we invite you to join us in the PDP where peace, justice and unity reign.”

Nigeria Vs Congo DRC Friendly: Focus On Protecting Residence Against Ebola In Rivers Than Celebrating Empty 3 Years In Office – APC Tells Wike

Nigeria Vs Congo DRC Friendly: Focus On Protecting Residence Against Ebola In Rivers Than Celebrating Empty 3 Years In Office – APC Tells Wike

As the spread of the dreaded disease, Ebola, continues across major towns in the Congo Democratic Republic (DRC) ahead of the friendly game between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and the Leopards of DRC in Port Harcourt on Saturday, the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has called on Gov. Nyesom Wike not only focus on reaping from the razzmatazz the grade ‘A’ friendly brings to his empty celebration of 3 years in office, adding “he (Wike) must forget politics for a while and act to protect the lives of the people and residents of Rivers State.”

The APC in a statement signed and issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM by its spokesperson, Mr. Chris Finebone said, “the APC is not averse to the game going on in Port Harcourt as earlier scheduled, we are worried that the possibility of Ebola making its way into Rivers State may be lost on the lackadaisical and purposeless government led by Gov. Nyesom Wike in the State.

nigeria vs congo drc friendly focus on protecting residence against ebola

We believe that a government that, for years, has been at sea over the soot enveloping Port Harcourt and environs may just be celebrating and backslapping while Ebola sneaks into town to wreak havoc on the people and residents of our dear State.”

He urged governor Wike to roll up his sleeves and deploy emergency health services especially the infectious disease personnel to ensure that the players and other delegation members who will make contact with hotel staff are properly screened to ensure that they do not leave any Ebola footprint on the hotel facilities and the staff.

“More specifically, the hotel to accommodate the DRC delegation should be carefully selected and orientation for the personnel of such a hotel held to acquaint them with the need to reduce contacts and maintain general high hygiene standards while they host the delegation” Mr. Finebone advised.

He noted that the APC is deeply worried and not sure whether the State government is aware that all major international media outlets are currently highlighting the increasing Ebola spread in the Congo DRC .

“What can be achieved by the federal government through surveillance at the airport of entry should not replace the need for the Rivers State Government to do more to safeguard the health and wellbeing of the people and residents of Rivers State.

This should not be another matter over which the governor will play his unending politics with. This is about life and we hope the governor gets it” Mr. Finebone finally declared.

*Flays Nigeria Army’s reports on Danjuma’s bias comments

A civil rights organization, the Centre for Human Rights and Social Justice (CHRSJ) has called on relevant authorities to institute a thorough probe into academic credentials of the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Ibrahim Kpotum Idris over his recent speech gaffe in Kano,

This is coming just as the group in a statement issued in Lagos on Monday also flayed the reports of a committee set up by the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-General Tukur Buratai dismissing the allegations of a former Minister of Defence, Lt.-General Theophilous Yakubu Danjuma (rtd.) on alleged bias by the military in series of security crisis rocking Taraba State.

In the statement issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM by the Executive Chairman of CHRSJ, Comrade Adeniyi, Alimi Sulaiman the group called on both the National Assembly and the Nigerian Police Council (NPC) as well as the Nigeria Police Service Commission (PSC) to institute a comprehensive probe into the credentials of the police boss saying the gaffe committed by Idris during a tour of duty to the Kano State Command of the Force was a national embarrassment.

kano famous transmission speech unacceptable police ig must produce school certificates now

While appraising the incident that took place last week Monday, May 14, 2018 when the police boss was in the commercial city of Kano to commission the Force Technical Intelligence Unit, Sulaiman stated that “Looking at the video over and over again, I suspect that we have a case of ‘Toronto and Chicago’ certificate scandal on our hands.

kano famous transmission speech unacceptable police ig must produce school certificates now

“We are calling on relevant authorities to commence probe into the credentials of Mr. Idris who on Monday last week brought an embarrassment not only to the police force, which he heads but also to the country as a whole.

The video which went viral has been seen across the world and as citizens of Nigeria, we are concerned that Idris rose beyond his competence to become the IGP and we demand a full, unbiased and comprehensive probe into his credentials.

“You will recollect that our group recently called for his removal owing to his activities in office, which do not suggest to us as someone who is fit and capable enough to hold that exalted office, we hasten to state therefore that his gaffe in Kano has further vindicated our position regarding his suitability for the job.

Simply put, the current IGP (as we have always stated before) is grossly and acutely incompetent.” He said in the statement made available to newsmen.

CHRSJ also commended the efforts of the reporter with Liberty Television, Mr. Aminu Nurudeen for his patriotic act in line with Sections (22) and (39) of the ‘FRN’ (1999) Constitution (as amended), saying he has demonstrated an act of uncommon bravery and that nothing untoward must happen to him and that Idris and the force would be liable should any form of infractions comes his way.

On the recently released report of the 10-man committee instituted by Buratai, Sulaiman on behalf of the group faulted an attempt by the army top hierarchy to rubbish the reputation of the Taraba State born ex-general, saying the committee was hurriedly put together as an afterthought to achieve some aims that are not nationalistic and altruistic as it was put in place to serve the interest of the authorities that constituted it.

The committee led by Major General Joseph Nimmyel (rtd) had been put in place to probe the allegations of bias leveled against the army by Danjuma, on March 24 at the convocation of Taraba State University in Jalingo.

kano famous transmission speech unacceptable police ig must produce school certificates now

Addressing graduating students, parents and guests at the occasion, Danjuma had said that the armed forces personnel operating in Taraba and other states of the northeast have been colluding with killers and marauding herdsmen and did not protect the people against their attackers.

Reacting to the report, Sulaiman stated that the army should address the issues raised by the former military general saying, “Everyone knows that Danjuma is not a flippant personality. He is very taciturn and not given to frivolous talk, so he is someone who talks when he feels he should talk. I think we should listen to him when he ventures to talk.”

To the group, the army has not addressed the issues raised, rather what the top hierarchy have done to try to cover the facts through the probe panel, adding “How do you see a situation whereby the proceedings of the panel had not been made opened to the public for all to see. Efforts should have been made to make the retired general state his own position of the story rather than hurriedly concocting an outcome for the committee.”

In concluding, he urged that the army should have been publicizing its operations in all the areas of its operations, saying if that had been done, it would have been easy for its position on the issues raised to be seen by the public.

“The army in recent times has not been feeding the public with the right information regarding its operations across the country.

For instance, the information emanating from the army authorities regarding the several times the leader of Boko Haram sect has been killed has left many including members of the group to become skeptical like General Danjuma.” He said.

APC Congresses: Gov. Wike-Sponsored Group Wants To Destabilize It – Chief Ikanya

The Rivers State Chapter of All Progressives Congress, APC, has uncovered plan by a group sponsored by Gov. Nyesom Wike and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to destabilize Saturday’s APC Congresses in Rivers State, adding that the group which is suspected to have some members of APC in their fold have already gone to work.
Source>>https://www.newsflashngr.com/apc-congresses-gov-wike-sponsored-group-wants-destabilize-chief-ikanya/
A statement signed and issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM by the APC State Chairman, Chief (Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, said “Information unearthed by the APC confirm that the group collected huge sum of money from the governor with the sole purpose of discrediting the congresses through wild allegations against leaders of the party especially the leader of the party in Rivers State and Honourable Minister for Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi and the State Chairman, Chief (Dr.) Davies Ibiamu Ikanya amongst others.”

The press release [NEWSFLASHNGR.COM]NEWSFLASHNGR.COM [https://www.newsflashngr.com/no-country-enjoy-24hrs-electricity/]understand reads: “Details of the plan seem to have been rolled out already as the group has gone on air to accuse the Minister of hijacking materials for the congresses, an accusation that exposes the ignorance of the group and makes absolutely no sense at all.

“Whereas the APC is working hard to fully expose the full dimension of the plot and the evil people that are hell-bent on destabilizing our party congresses, we urge party faithful and the general public to ignore the well-known antics of Gov. Wike, the PDP and their collaborators within and outside the APC who have sold their souls to blood money.

The party re-assures all members of strict adherence to the guidelines of the party congresses and not to be distracted by anyone or group under any guise.

“The party would like our members and the general public to refuse to be deceived by these agents of doom who are likely to employ diverse means to destabilize the party in fulfilment of the agreement between them and their sponsors.”

Drop Your Impeachment Threat On President Buhari Now – APC Tells National Assembly

….Cautions It Will Be Suicidal to Scheme PDP Back to Power

…..Blasts Wike for instigating the impeachment plot
Source>>>https://www.newsflashngr.com/drop-impeachment-threat-president-buhari-now-apc-tells-national-assembly/

The Rivers State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as unwise and unnecessary the recent plot by some members of the National Assembly to heighten tension in the country by tabling an impeachment threat on President Muhammadu Buhari who is doing his best to rescue the nation from the dungeon that PDP past Government kept her.

“The impeachment plot based on President Buahri’s approval for the withdrawal of $496 million from the Excess Crude Account for the purchase of 12 Super Tucano aircraft ordered from the United States aimed at rescuing the country from its present security crisis is to us an exercise in futility” the APC said in a statement issue to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM today by Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the Media Consultant to Dr Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, the State Chairman of Rivers APC.

The statement reads: “President Trump affirming this transaction stated, “We recently sold Nigeria 12 Super Tucano aircraft in the first-ever sale of American military equipment to Nigeria. Nigeria is a valued partner and a good friend”.

The National Assembly considering what President Trump said about our leader and nation should be celebrating this icon of integrity and the new face of democracy in our nation than this unwarranted demonstration of shame and embarrassment.

“The party blasts Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State who seizes any opportunity to demonstrate his disdain for both President Buhari and the APC led Government once again using this historical purchase of war Aircraft to mobilise his attack dogs in the National Assembly through his lackeys – Kingsley Chinda (House of Representatives, PDP Rivers, Obio/Akpor Constituency) and Mathew Urhoghide (Senate, PDP Edo South) to initiate this unwise impeachment process against President Buhari knowing very well that the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria have no impeachment clause in any of its section but a plot of distraction to blackmail this administration and disrupt her efforts to expose and deal with those who have looted our common patrimony with impunity.



The party further pleads with Governor Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike of Rivers State to leave President Muhammadu Buhari alone so that he can concentrate on how to find solutions to how Wike and his colleagues looted and milked our common patrimony dry particularly now that he (Wike) has lost direction on how to govern a complex State like Rivers State.

The party relies on Section 143 (2) (b) of the 1999 Constitution and further in Section 143 (11) as (a) to state that President Buhari has neither committed any grave violation or breach of this Constitution”, or “a misconduct of such nature as amounts in the opinion of the National Assembly to gross misconduct to warrant his impeachment or removal from office if not to play into the hands of those hell-bent of frustrating the corruption fight of this administration.

Source>>>https://www.newsflashngr.com/drop-impeachment-threat-president-buhari-now-apc-tells-national-assembly/
The party therefore admonishes the leadership and members of the National Assembly to consider the general peace, welfare of our nation and put aside this impeachment plot as we need to unite to save our nation from those who wants to plunge this nation into unwarranted crisis in order to safeguard their loots.

“The party notes that with the level of corruption instituted by the PDP administration during its inglorious reign it will be suicidal to succumb to their evil machinations and plots to scheme themselves back to power in order to safeguard their looted funds. God will not permit that.”

The Deadly Soot Over Port Harcourt (PH): APC Accuses Wike of Complicity

…Vows to Stop All Illegal Refineries and Associated Tools That Cause Soot within Six Months of Assumption of Power In 2019

The Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress has once again accused Governor Nyesom Wike of complicity on the soot which has continued to pollute the State , vowing that she (APC) will stop all illegal refineries and associated tools that cause soot within six months of assumption of power in 2019.

The APC in a statement by Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the Media Consultant to Dr Davies Ibiamu Ikanya, the State Chairman of Rivers APC noted thus: “The other day, the Governor of Rivers state, Chief Nyesom Wike, in his dramatic pattern, accused the Federal Government of plotting to exterminate the Rivers population by encouraging activities that will sustain the dark, dangerous and mortal cloud on the State capital, which has become known as the dangerous soot.

The Deadly Soot Over Port Harcourt (PH): APC Accuses Wike of Complicity

He backed his emotional hypocrisy with a lot of lies, but what is not lost on the free mind and those who are not caught in the politically motivated emotional blackmail is that the Governor knows more than he has told the world.

“Ask the governor how the Federal Government had been producing and sustaining the soot, his explanation would be the seldom practice of destruction of illegal refining sites, a practice that goes on in other parts of the region, where oil theft and illegal refining of crude oil into dangerous oil products.”

The Deadly Soot Over Port Harcourt (PH): APC Accuses Wike of Complicity

Dr. Ikanya stated that it has come to the notice and understanding of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers state that the so-called crocodile tears of the Governor is just a decoy.

“Reliable discoveries have revealed that the Governor said all he said to buy cover for a well organized illegal activity going on under his nose” Ikanya said.

The statement reads: “Governor Wike knows that the deadly cloud over Port Harcourt is undoubtedly from illegal oil refining, which has been termed as ‘kpo fire’. He knows the leaders of the groups involved in this dangerous illegality, he knows them from the race to the 2015 election and he very well knows what this is all about.

The blame on the Federal Government was a mere façade. We call on Rivers State Governor, who happens to also be the Chief Security Officer of the state, to call his boys off so we can have a clean, soot-free environment.

“For the avoidance of doubts, the ‘producers’ of the dangerous cloud over Port Harcourt (soot) are Wike’s boys, whom they used to execute the 2015 elections and they have kept in a sort of security immunized zone so that they can make enough money to buy the arms and ammunition they will need to prosecute the 2019 bloodbath, since they won’t have the ‘federal might’ to fight personal wars as they used to.

“The APC in Rivers state, therefore, calls on the Governor of Rivers state to be compassionate and spare the innocent children, women, youths and men of the State capital, who do not have the sort of protection as he does, to call his agents of death off from their daily cooking of illegal crude. They should stop killing us all even before the elections come.” the party pleaded.

The party however commends the Federal Government for her concerted efforts in finding the causes of the soot and how to curtail its menace in Rivers State but reiterated that any effort without Governor Wike collaborating and assisting to call his boys to stop this evil act of operating illegal refineries will be an exercise in futility the party.

The party warns Wike to toe its line of plea for peace and sanity and avoid the plots to destroy the lives of Rivers State people because of elections as such plea should not be taken as the rattling from a disadvantaged body but as a wise counsel to prevent him from turning the State into a worse situation as he did before, during and after the 2015 general elections when he turned the State into a battle field were hundreds of innocent souls of Rivers State people were lost in the bid to install him (Wike) as the Governor of Rivers State.

The party cautions that the 2019 general elections will not be a repeat performance of 2015 general elections where he used the militants to execute his evil plots against democracy and good governance in Rivers State the party concluded.

Rev Fr. Mbaka Silent On Current Killings Of Priests Of God

A lot of Nigerians are wondering if the Change Begins With Me Campaign is about stealing because just after it was launched, two men- Mr. Akin Fadeyi and Omo Bazuaye- said the concept was stolen from them.

What do you say to that?

It is unfortunate that some Nigerians don’t believe in industry, honesty, integrity and hard work. But they should realise that there is no shortcut to success except by being honest and straightforward.

This is the case with these two young men because I will show you evidence that proves that by October 14, 2015, the entire thematic production of Change Begins With Me had been completed.

And by October 31, the theme songs had been completed. Fadeyi was sent to me by Simon Kolawole (a former Editor of THISDAY Newspaper) in December or January and when he came, we compared (our works).
Continue reading here>>>https://www.newsflashngr.com/why-is-nobody-praising-us-for-all-weve-done-lai-mohammed-wonders/

However, this is a campaign that will last the entire administration. So, I said to him, ‘if and when we need contents and your contents match our own, we will contact you’.

And that was why I told him, we can’t even take your material because we are not changing our theme -Change Begins With Me- because everything we have done is on that and yours is Not In My Country; and he went away.

The next time we heard from him was in June 2016, when he wrote a letter to request for partnership. We did not make a secret of this campaign. As soon as I became minister; I told the whole world what I was going to do. I will read this out to you. The correspondence was dated October 14, 2015 and was sent at 3.04pm on that day.

Some Nigerians are incredible people. Fadeyi came in January. We thank God for technology. As soon as I became minister, I called a meeting of all the directors to say that I was going to launch this campaign and after that, I received proposals from more than 20 people, including Jimi Johnson.

And to all of them, I had just one message- wait for me to launch my campaign, if your material matches our own, we will call you.

In December, I came to Lagos to seek the support of Don Jazzy, Sunny Ade, Kwam 1, Tiwa Savage, P Square, all of them.

I met them at the Southern Sun and told them that they could produce a theme song for me. So how can anybody now wake up and say this was his idea?

Honestly, it is just inspiration from God and I worked with a team of more than five people. We invited Brian from CENTERSPREAD.

All the time I was telling the world that I was going to launch the campaign, why didn’t anybody say it was their idea?

But some Nigerians have questioned the timing of the campaign, describing it as diversionary and that it appears as if the government is pushing its change agenda on the people after it failed to keep its promise. What do you say to that?

Buhari Vs Nigerian Youth Must Read By Every Intelligent Youth

Speaking at the Common Wealth Business Forum in Westminster on April 18, 2018, Buhari said :
“Nigerian youths are lazy, uneducated; and don’t like to do any work because they believe their country is an oil-rich nation, thus always wanting free oil money “
Source:https://www.newsflashngr.com/buhari-vs-nigerian-youth/

NIGERIAN YOUTH : Sir, you are absolutely correct. One of the lazy Nigerian youths who is enjoying free oil money had an accident with the power bike he bought with free oil money not too long ago, and he was flown abroad for treatment with free oil money, then he hired a jet with free oil money from London to Abuja after his treatment.

Sir, we Nigerian Youth completely agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy and uneducated and always wanting free oil money. Their role models are in Aso Rock enjoying free oil money without even solving any security or economic problem for the country.

When they are ill, they fly abroad for medical vacation with free oil money.
Why would anyone disagree with you that the Nigerian youths are uneducated? It’s very obvious. That’s why they don’t even know their rights !! Some of them ignorantly keep defending your ineptitude !!!

Sir, at 19 years of age, you left secondary school to join the Nigerian Army. At age 21, you were commissioned a second lieutenant and appointed Platoon Commander of the Second Infantry Battalion in Abeokuta, Nigeria.
Where can our youths get such opportunity today ?

Buhari Vs Nigerian Youth Must Read By Every Intelligent Youth

You enjoyed free education as a young man, but today the youths are deprived of basic education. You were a governor, a petroleum commissioner and a Head of State as a youth; but today, youths are on social media defending your failures !

Honestly, sir, we agree with you that the Nigerian youths are lazy. That’s why you ruled Nigeria as a youth and have also grabbed the job as an old man.

The youths are too ignorant to even know the implication of this your comment, because some indolent ones would still rationalize it as an “ordinary” comment, forgetting that ‘out of the abundance of the mind, the mouth speaks’.
They don’t even know that you and your fellow old men are presently doing the jobs that the youths should, ordinarily, be doing !

Sir, the most interesting aspect of this your “truth” is that you said it in a country where their government provides basic infrastructures, almost free education, free WiFi, free health care, almost free investment loans for their youths.
While, in your own country, these lazy and uneducated youths, provide their own electricity, schools, security, roads, healthcare etc.. Yet, the indolent youths use their “free oil money” to buy mobile data to defend your ineptitude.

Sir, let us remind you that we have seen so many Nigerian youths who were almost useless in Nigeria, but when they cross over to the western world, they suddenly begin to excel in different fields of endeavor. What do you think is responsible for their positive output in the foreign land?

Your guess is as good as ours. Sir- the difference is not far-fetched : A responsible government usually plan for their youths and create enabling environment for the youths to be able to create wealth and contribute to National development. Can we say the same of your own government ? Certainly Not ! Instead, we have lazy, uneducated youths who would hang on telecommunication masts and electric cables to shout “SAI BABA” whenever you visit their states.

SHAME ! We only wish they knew better.

Finally, sir, let us ask you this : Apart from the free oil money this country has been paying you since your days as a youth till date, what have you been able to create for yourself ? Do you have thriving businesses that are providing employment for the Nigerian youths?

Have you invented anything on your own? Sir, you can now see that this free oil money is what has kept you going for over 50 years. Perhaps this laziness is not limited to the youths alone. We guess some 75-year-old incompetent presidents are also lazy and love free oil money; and that’s why they want to remain in power till they are 80 years old.

Buhari Vs Nigerian Youth Must Read By Every Intelligent Youth

If we take away the free oil money this country has been paying you so that you then appraise your life, are you sure you will have any worth, sir?

We leave you to your conscience, Sir.

But, we hope that all intelligent Nigerian youths will realise that you are now using their time, after you had long-ago used your own time.

We hope that all intelligent Nigerian youths will stop being “lazy” and join hands, to take charge of their own destiny.

We equally hope that Nigerian youths will get their Permanent Voter’s Card ready, and give you appropriate response in 2019.

How Okorocha’s Son In-law Uche Nwosu Inspired Youth Consciousness In Nigerian Politics

BY ONWUASOANYA FCC JONES

Till few months ago, Mr Sowore, the publisher of the controversial Sahara reporters was comfortable in his exotic apartment in the United States of America from where he churns out news and expository essays on some of Nigeria’s highly placed politicians and power wielders.

Sowore’s internet and social media activities, while he coloured it before the public to look like they were inspired by solely humanitarian motivations, were big money spinner to him, as well a big platform that launched him into relevance among Nigerian political and business elites.

No doubt, Sowore, a former President of the Students Union Government in the Lagos State University and a frontline activist under the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has long been politically exposed. However, it is not certain, if the radical Lagos boy and billionaire whistleblower ever saw a possibility for him to run for any serious elective office in the nearest future- at least, not in 2019.

Many young men and women of Sowore’s generation, especially, those among them who hitherto were more comfortable with been addressed as activists, have begun to show credible interest in taking their political fates into their hands.

It is a gratifying reality that younger generation of Nigerians are beginning to stake a formidable claim to the Nigerian project. Instead of hiding behind computers and smart phones to complain, these youths have taken to the podium of politics to argue their case at the highest level, instead of leaving it in the hands of our obviously tiring grandparents.

Before this new youth Awakening spearheaded by Ugwumba Uche Nwosu, Omoyele Sowore and a few others, there have been very young men of less than 45 years of age who have made reasonable impact in our political space since the present Fourth Republic.

Chief Orji Uzor Kalu, Donald Duke, Dimeji Bankole, Bukola Saraki and most recently, Yahaya Bello were all able to rise to great political heights before they were 45, but they are very different from this present crop of youthful revolutionaries staking their claim on the Nigerian power pie, presently.

While these other men were able to beat their way to the top with their heavy purses, Ugwumba Uche Nwosu and the generation of youths he has inspired to throw their hats into the Nigerian political race are young men who have a verifiable history of leadership tutelage long before declaring their intentions to vie for any political office.

They are not moneybags who feel they can buy their way to power, but prepared and very competent leaders who have shown a long suppressed hunger to play prominent roles in the realization of a new Nigeria.

Ugwumba Uche Nwosu takes the credit for inspiring our generation, not just in Imo State, but across Nigeria to take our political fates into our hands. Nwosu, who became a governorship candidate of a major political Party before he clocked 40 years of age is that young man who has succeeded in making Nigerian youths regain confidence in themselves.

It is not out of place that a number of young men who have began to show credible interest in taking up powerful political offices in the country may be doing so out of envy for the audacious political impact recorded by the Eziama-Obaire born seasoned technocrat, but this envy is the positive one.

Ugwumba Uche Nwosu has succeeded in not only inspiring the youths to challenge for their place in the Nigerian political space, but also in convincing a number of our elders to support this charge.

From former military President Ibrahim Babangida to former civilian President, Olusegun Obasanjo, the call for Nigerian youths to take over governance at all levels is resonating loudly and persistently.

Omoyele Sowore and other younger presidential aspirants in the 2019 election may not stand any chance of winning the election, but they would have made a powerful statement with their declaration and if they eventually run the whole hog, then our generation would have succeeded in making a strong statement of intent regarding our political relevance that can only but keep burning up.

Nigerian youths of all backgrounds and orientations have been motivated to begin to think of themselves as the driver’s of the Nigerian rebirth, instead of complacent passengers in a vehicle that is almost getting grounded by the rough driving of our ageing present crop of leaders. Remember, this idea was planted in Imo State by Ugwumba Uche Nwosu and is germinating across Nigeria, to the glory of God.

VP Osinbajo was in Onitsha yesterday... Here's Gov Obiano's Speech in 52 Tweets

.... Welcome to our Finest Hour

Protocol

1. On behalf of the good people of Anambra State, I welcome you all to the ancient city of Onitsha, the commercial capital of South East Nigeria.

2. We receive you and the ideas you have brought to our dear state with open hands and open hearts.

3. Anyi na asi unu nno nu o!

4. Ladies and gentlemen, I am personally happy to note that 25 days after I was sworn into office for my second term, we have gathered here to exchange ideas that will stimulate activities in the MSME sector in Anambra State.

5. In all sincerity, I could not have hoped for a better start to my second term.

6. This initiative is properly aligned to what my administration has done with commitment in the past four years.

7. So, I must thank the Federal Government for the vision behind this initiative and the decision to hold this clinic in Anambra State at this moment in time.

8. Your Excellency, when my team and I assumed office four years ago, we had our work cut out for us.

9. The people of this great state had waited for so long to see a clear roadmap to greatness.

10. We knew that history had placed the responsibility of laying a solid foundation for the prosperity of our beloved state on our shoulders.

11. So, we quickly applied ourselves to the brass task of governance and drafted Vision and Mission Statements to guide our activities and decisions.

12. We declared that our Vision is to be ‘the first choice investment destination and hub for industrialization and commercial activities.’

13. We also declared that our Mission is to ‘create a socially stable, business-friendly environment that will attract indigenes and foreigners to seek wealth-creating opportunities.’

14. We swiftly moved on to provide the desired security environment to drive our vision and today Anambra is widely acknowledged as Nigeria’s safest state.

15. This achievement has had a tremendous influence on investor-confidence, leading to the attraction of investments valued at five billion US dollars to Anambra State.

16. Ladies and gentlemen, we have made a great impact so far on this trajectory.

17. And we shall continue on it till we create a buoyant sub-national economy that has enough capacity to absorb the infinite potentials of our people.

18. This is the thinking that informed the creation of the Anambra Small Business Agency (ASBA) which was formed to ensure the establishment of a structured and efficient hub for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises that will enhance the sustainable economic development of Anambra State.

19. ASBA’s immediate Vision is to facilitate easy access to resources for MSME entrepreneurs to achieve the sustainable economic development of Anambra State.

20. Since it came into existence ASBA has continued to fulfil the grand objectives that led to its formation; serving as a catalyst to the industrial dreams of our people and breathing life into many MSMEs.

21. There is so much that ASBA has achieved but I shall return to it later.

22. At this moment, I want to draw attention to the peculiar character traits of Onye Anambra to clearly underscore why we need the support of the Federal Government.

23. Your Excellency, Ladies and gentlemen, to understand the promise of Anambra State, we must first understand the manifest capacities of our people; our industrious nature, our can-do spirit, our courage in the face of adversity and our legendary hatred of failure.

24. These are some of the qualities behind our drive for excellence, our readiness to take charge of our lives, become independent and carve out a new path for ourselves by starting a business.

25. All these attributes also make our beloved Anambra State the most fertile breeding ground for MSMEs in Nigeria.

26. These are also the qualities that should convince the Federal Government to design a special Industrial Master Plan for Anambra State that will unlock the creative genius of our people to contribute more significantly to the industrial quest of Nigeria.

27. After all, if Anambra could give Nigeria the likes of Innoson, Chikason, Ibeto, Coscharis and several other industrialists who emerged on their own without government or institutional support or incentive...

28... it is only left to the imagination what this state can produce if the Federal Government decides to support us with a clearly developed and sustainable industrial plan.

29. I do not have the slightest doubt that Anambra State can give Nigeria the industrial and technological foundation that will leapfrog the country to a truly emerging Start-up economy. Your Excellency, this is a Promise!

30. Your Excellency sir, a look at the sterling achievements of the Anambra Small Business Agency (ASBA) in the past four years will provide an insight into what Anambra can offer.

31. The Agency has competently handled the disbursement of the One Billion Naira Retail Lending Facility for Small and Medium Enterprises to catalyse the growth of over 200 SMEs and create over 1,500 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect jobs in Anambra State.

32. The Agency also saw to the effective disbursement of One Billion Naira Micro Credit Lending to market women, farmers, women cooperatives, artisans and youth entrepreneurs in Anambra State.

33. In all, ASBA has provided crucial credit facilities to 7,000 MSMEs in Anambra State and created 10,000 direct jobs and an estimated 35,000 indirect jobs in the past four years. Your Excellency, I think this is significant progress.

34. As you can see, Your Excellency, we are doing our very best in Anambra State at the moment, but we urgently need the critical support of the Federal Government to bring out the fighting spirit of our people.

35. We have designed a few programmes for which we are asking for the support of the Federal Government to nurture them to maturity for the benefit of our people.

36. They include -
1. The construction of Technological Parks that will serve as Start-up Hubs in the three senatorial zones of the state. These parks shall be fully equipped with a captive power supply and free internet services that will enable them function as true technological incubation centres.

37.
2. The establishment of Industrial Clusters in the three senatorial zones of the state to serve as centres for the adaptation of technology where automobile parts, agricultural machineries, foundries and industrials machines can be fabricated.

38.
3. The construction of a Textile and Leather Products Industrial Cluster in Ogbunike and finally Your Excellency,

39.
4. We need the assistance of the Federal Government to set up an MSME Incubation and Support Academy that will provide critical knowledge in the area of business ideation and management, financial literacy, marketing, branding, bookkeeping as well as research and development.

40. Your Excellency sir, before I end this address, I must commend the Federal Government, Your Excellency, the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and Hon Haj Maryam Uwais, the Special Adviser to the President on Social Investments for ensuring the admission of Anambra State into the Social Investment Programmes of the Federal Government at inception.

41. I must say that these programmes formed part of our Economic Stimulus Package which helped Anambra State to survive the biting pangs of recession.

42. Indeed, I must further observe that today, no fewer than one hundred and twenty two thousand children are fed daily under the School Feeding Programme by a total of one thousand and forty caterers in one thousand and sixty schools across the twenty local government areas in the state.

43. Similarly, under the N-Power Programme, 14, 209 Anambra youths have been employed to support the state in agriculture, health, education and other key sectors.

44. Last but not the least, under the Conditional Cash Transfer Programme, 3,086 elderly citizens are paid a monthly stiped of N10,000 each in six Local Government Areas of the state, including Awka North, Dunukofia, Ayamelum, Anambra East, Orumba North and Ihiala Local Government Area.

45. We are most grateful to Your Excellency for all these initiatives. They have benefitted our people immensely and we pray for more in the coming days.

46. In conclusion Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentlemen, the economy of Anambra State is on the runway, taxiing to take off.

47. We have done the best we can possibly do as a state government, using the institutional approach through ASBA.

48. However, we need the formidable financial strength and institutional might of the Federal Government to enhance our efforts and multiply the benefits to the greater number of our people.

49. We have cleaned up our state and flung our doors open to more investors and new business ideas.

50. Our hands are wide open to receive new partners and new dream merchants.

51. I assure you that any investment in Anambra State is not only secure but also guaranteed to give rapid returns.

52. Once again, I welcome you all to Anambra
State.

Dalunu!

Nigeria suffering from bitter politics heal her this Easter with love as you celebrate governor Obiano tells Nigerians
Source:https://www.newsflashngr.com/nigeria-suffering-from-bitter-politics-heal-obiano-beg/

The Anambra State Governor, Chief Willie Obiano says Nigeria is simmering with bitter politics, calling on Christians to use the power of love to heal the nation.

Obiano, in an Easter message signed on his behalf by his Chief Press secretary, James Eze, said, “It has been repeatedly proven that true national integration is never forced upon the people by the political leadership but mostly by the little acts of love and kindness that are freely exchanged between the ordinary citizens of the country.”

He called on Nigerian Christians to heal the country with Love this Easter in commemoration of the sacrificial love of Jesus Christ to mankind as symbolized by the feast of Easter.

Obiano said, “The country simmers with bitter politics, rancour and mutual suspicion which can only be healed by unconditional love.

“I urge Christians to seize the opportunity offered by Easter to reach out and touch their fellow Nigerians with love.”

Obiano said as true followers of Christ, Nigerian Christians “should provide leadership in our country’s quest for peace, turning their swords into ploughshares in the truest traditions of Christianity”.

Governor Obiano further observed that in a country split by growing ethnic and religious intolerance, Christians have a great opportunity to live out the creeds of their faith, showing their actual value through their work in response to the scriptural reminder that ‘faith without work is dead.’

“As Christians, we must let the light of Christ shine in us always, showing restraint when provoked, demonstrating tolerance when rejected and showing sacrificial love in the midst of hatred.
“Whenever we find ourselves at the crossroads of life, we must never fail to ask ourselves, ‘what would Christ have done if he were in our position?” the governor added.

He assured the people of Anambra of a peaceful Easter celebration, disclosing that he had just donated 40 utility trucks to the security agencies as part of the elaborate plans by his administration to tighten the screws on security across Anambra State.

He called on indigenes in Nigeria and in the diaspora to feel free to visit home to re-unite and celebrate Easter with their families and loved ones because Anambra remains Nigeria’s safest state.

A group, the Atiku Mandate 2019 has been launched in Lagos with members stating that a former Vice President of the country, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar remains the best presidential candidate capable of moving the country forward amongst gladiators jostling for the nation’s Presidency.

Comprising of members from all the political parties, the Lagos State Coordinator, Prince Lanre Osundairo at the end of the inaugural meeting of the group in Ikeja on Sunday said the country needed the former number two man owing to the vast political contacts across the length and breadth of the country would steer the country to the proverbial promise land.

Osundairo who is a chieftain of the main opposition party, the PDP praised Atiku as perhaps the best prepared for the job and that Nigerians should give him the opportunity to lead them, saying voting for the former Vice President amounts to a new dawn for the country.

Addressing the media shortly after the meeting, which lasted for two hours, Osundairo stated that “As you can see, most of the people you see here are not politicians but people who have genuine love for the former Vice President.

I admit that some of us are politicians but the propelling rationale for being members of this movement is for us to ensure that our principal assumes the mantle of leadership of the country.”

On the scope of the new group, he stated that “We are putting in place a viable platform for all Nigerians who love the Waziri of Adamawa to come together to demonstrate our love for Alhaji Atiku by canvassing for votes for him at the grassroots.”

Commenting on some of the allegations that continued to dodge the aspiration of the former Vice President, Osundairo stated that Atiku has thrown the gauntlet to whoever is making such allegations to come forward with proof, adding that “since nobody has come up with any of such, the allegations are mere beer parlour rumours to tarnish Atiku’s image.”

The Lagos State Secretary of the group, Dr. Kayode Ojutiku stated that the process of wooing residents of the state to join in the movement has been smooth owing to the respect that the Adamawa State born politicians commands amongst Nigerians.

Probe Panel Indictment: Ekiti Govt. Slams 19-Count Charge Of Stealing N4.9bn, Others On Fayemi

Less than two weeks after releasing a white paper on the report of the Justice Silas Oyewole Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the Finances of Ekiti State during the administration of the Minister of Mines and Steel Development, Dr Kayode Fayemi as governor of Ekiti State, the State government has filed criminal charges of corruption against Fayemi and his Finance Commissioner, Mr Dapo Kolawole.

The 19-count charge HAD/05c/2018, in which Fayemi and Kolawole were accused of stealing, abuse of office, criminal contempt, among others was filed before the State High Court, Ado Ekiti on Friday, January
26, 2018.

Fayemi and his Finance Commissioner were accused of misappropriating the sum of N4.9 billion being the proceeds of Ekiti State Bond for the sum of N20 billion earmarked in the Bond Prospectus for various projects in the State that were either not done or partly done.

While releasing the white paper on January 15, 2018, the government had directed that the state’s Ministry of Justice should institute appropriate legal action(s) against Fayemi and others adding that Fayemi and his Finance Commissioner should be made to account for the whereabouts of the fund allocated to projects in the N25 billion Bond Prospectus, which were either not executed or partly executed.

Count 12 of the criminal charge, which bordered on conspiracy to steal and punishable under Section 516 of the Criminal Code law, Cap C. 16 Laws of Ekiti State, 2010 reads; “That you Dr John Kayode Fayemi and Mr Vincent Dapo Kolawole, while holding the offices of the Executive Governor of Ekiti State of Nigeria and Commissioner for Finance respectively, sometime between 2011 and 2014, within the jurisdiction of this Honorable Court, conspired to steal the sum of N2,750,000,000.00 (N2.75 billion) being the sum of money earmarked in the Bond Prospectus titled; ‘Ekiti State Government of Nigeria, Offer for Subscription of N20,000,000,000 (N20 billion).

14.5% Fixed rate Bond Due 2018 Under the Ekiti State Government of Nigeria N25,000,000,000.00 Bond Issuance Programme ‘ and released for the construction of Ultra-Modern Market in Ekiti State, which you never built; and thereby committed an offence.”

Also on the N25 billion bond, Fayemi and Kolawole were accused of stealing the sum of N716,688,790.92 out of the N750 million earmarked in the Bond Prospectus and released for the construction of Ekiti State School of Agriculture out of which only N33.311,209.08 was allegedly spent, N198,860,023.00 being outstanding fund from the N500 million earmarked in the Bond Prospectus and released for the construction of Ekiti State Liaison Office in Lagos, out of which only N301,139,977 was expended for the said construction.

Furthermore, out of the N767, 970,167.47 earmarked in the Bond Prospectus and released for the renovation of Governor’s Office, only N87, 622,912.25 was spent, leaving outstanding sum of N681, 347,255.22. For the renovation of Ado Ekiti Water Works, N335.5 million was earmarked and released while only N155, 523,558 was spent, leaving outstanding sum of N197, 979,441.77 and N468.6 million
earmarked for construction of Ero Water Works, which was not done.
Fayemi and Kolawole were also charged with criminal contempt for refusing to appear before the Judicial Commission of Inquiry, an offence punishable under Section 13 of the Commission of Inquiry Law, Cap C. 10, Laws of Ekiti State, 2010, Section 126(2) of the Criminal Code laws, Cap C. 16, Laws of Ekiti State, 2010 and Criminal Contempt punishable under Section 133 of the same criminal code.

It should be recalled that the Ekiti State government banned the duo of Fayemi and Kolawole from holding public office in the State for 10 years, for their refusal to appear before the Commission of Inquiry, even after the determination of the case challenging the inauguration of the commission of inquiry before the Ekiti State High Court.

“Government views accountability and probity as the hallmark of good governance. Therefore, the government decided to set up the Judicial Panel of Inquiry in line with its law enacted in 2012.

“Both Dr Fayemi and Mr Kolawole are recommended as unfit to hold any public office in the state for their refusal to appear before the Commission of Inquiry. Their disrespect to the constituted authority and the undignified roles they played in the whole contracts saga which were obviously against the interest of the state they were supposed to protect. They should be barred from holding public office for a specified period,” the white paper read.

While submitting its report on December 13, 2017, the Judicial Commission of Inquiry had said that the former governor must account for the whereabouts of a sum of N2.75 billion allocated from the N25 billion bond obtained by the government for the execution of contract for the construction of Ultra-Modern market in Ado Ekiti, which was never executed.

The commission of inquiry also said that the contractor in respect of the furnishing of the government house built by the Fayemi’s administration should be made to refund a sum of N324.8 million, noting that the contract should not have been more than N280 million.

The panel said it found out that KITWOOD Nigeria Limited to which the furnishing contract of over N600 million was awarded had no traceable address and that “the address on the Letter of Award is a virgin land
at opposite the new Central Bank along new Iyin Road, Ado Ekiti.

On the purchase of vehicles, the panel said “claim by Coscharis Motors that it supplied 235 and/or 250 vehicles was fraudulent and that fraught with so many contradictions.

“That Coscharis Motors supplied some vehicles outside Ekiti State especially, at Ibadan Liaison office when Ekiti State Government does not have a Liaison office in Ibadan. In respect of this, seven vehicles were supplied outside the State and signed for by unknown persons.

*Queries the Release of N5b for Mobilisation of Obas and Emirs for Further Endorsements

Rivers State chapter of All Progressives Congress (APC) in a press statement issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM on Thursday in Port Harcourt by Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the Media Consultant to Dr Davies Ibiamu Ikanya the State Chairman of Rivers APC to Media Organisations, opinion leaders and the public blasted Governor Nyesom Ezebunwo Wike of Rivers State for spending a whopping sum of one billion Naira (N1b) of Rivers State money to hire two different groups (non indigenes and women groups) last weekend to endorse him for his unmerited second term bid.

The opposition party in Rivers State said that Gov. Wike spent five hundred million Naira (N500M) to hire non indigenes who are not resident in Rivers State from Abia, Imo and Akwa Ibom States to march to the Rivers State Government House in order to endorse him for an unmerited second term in office while he has refused to pay the six months salaries owed to the Rivers State Civil servants and arrears of pension owed to our Pensioners.

The APC in the same vein queries the rationale behind the Governor wasting another whopping sum of five hundred million Naira to hire women from Bayelsa and Delta States, and presented them as Rivers State women to endorse him to continue to exhibit his mediocrity in governance.

The party supporting the above stand quoted the press statement issued by the Hausa community in Rivers State through their leader, Alh. Saidu Musa. The community in the press statement scolded Governor Wike for claiming that the Hausa communities was among the hired non indigenes from outside the State that endorsed him.

According to the Hausa Community resident in Rivers State in their press statement titled, “2019… Hausa community disassociates itself from Wike’s endorsement” stated, “that the Hausa community in Rivers State has political and administrative structures headed by both traditional institutions and other leaders of thought and that none of the bodies were consulted to mobilise their community to endorse Wike.

The statement further explained, “So we have not endorsed Governor Wike for 2019. If there is any need for that the entire leadership of Hausa community will meet and take decision accordingly. We therefore called on the public to disregard such endorsement saying that Hausa community in Rivers State is yet to take decision on who to support in 2019”

In agreement with the Hausa community, the Igbos, the Akwa Ibomites and Cross Riverians, the Igalas, the Tivs, the Ibibios, the Yoruba’s and other ethnic nationalities residing in Rivers State have jointly and separately denounced Wike for linking them with his desperate attempt to fool the outside world that his misrule and draconian policies of promoting insecurity in Rivers State is popular and acceptable to the people of Rivers State.

Alhaji Gidado Sadeeq NEWSFLASHNGR.COM understands said two cows under Issah's guide were killed in the community while others returned without the herder.

Sadeeq said the situation had created tension in the area, while stating that the police and the Department of State Service averted an attack on some other cattle herders by the host community.

"My people are now afraid of an imminent attack. It's unfortunate that this is happening.

“It’s unfortunate that the host community are not keeping to the agreement reached between the security, Anambra state government and the herdsmen", Sadeeq stated.

Our correspondent gathered that as a result of the development security had been beefed up in the community which incidentally is Governor Willie Obiano's home town.

When contacted on the telephone, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, Nkeiruka Nwode said the matter had not been brought to her knowledge.

She promised she would get in touch with the Divisional Police Officer in charge of Otuocha, where the incident alleged occurred, and get back to our correspondent; but she never did as of the time of filing this report at 5.40pm.

About two weeks ago, a 23 year old farmer, who was identified simply as Atuanya was reportedly killed by herdsmen in neighbouring Anaku community in Ayamelum Local Government Area of the state.

The people of the area had called on the state government to curtail the incursion of herdsmen in the area or they would resort to defending themselves.

Fayose - FG Reason For Withdrawing $1bn Excess Crude Money Is To Fund Buhari’s 2019 Not To Fight Boko Haram



Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has described the decision to withdraw $1 billion from the Excess Crude Account to fight Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East region as a means by the All Progressives Congress (APC) led federal government to fund President Muhammadu
Buhari’s re-election in 2019.

“For posterity sake, I wish to place it on record that I was not among the governors, who approved the withdrawal of almost half of our savings in the Excess Crude Account, which belongs to the three tiers
of government to fight an already defeated insurgency,” he declared.

He made this comment in a statement issued to NEWSFLASHNGR.COM in Ado Ekiti on Friday, and signed by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said; “Since they said they have defeated Boko Haram, what else do they need a whopping sum of $1 billion (over N360 billion) for; if not to fund the 2019 elections?

“The APC promised to wipe out Boko Haram within six months, now it is 31 months and what the APC government is wiping out is the economy of Nigeria and the means of livelihood of the people,” Governor Fayose said.

The governor said N360 billion was equivalent to what the Federation Account Allocation Committee (FAAC) share to the federal government, 36 States and 774 Local Councils monthly, nothing that “Nigerians deserve proper explanations from the federal government on the rationale behind spending such huge sum of money to fight an already defeated Boko Haram.”

He challenged the federal government to make available to Nigerians, how the money released by international donors for the fight against Boko Haram was spent, adding that; “Even the Transparency International (TI) once said in its report that some top military officials in the country were feeding fat from the war against Boko Haram by creating fake contracts and laundering the proceeds in the United States, United Kingdom and elsewhere.”

The governor also alleged that the N50 billion kept by the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in different commercial bank accounts outside the Treasury Single Account (TSA) on the directive of President Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari was part of the fund being kept to fund President Buhari’s election in 2019.

Governor Fayose said; “Nigerians are alarmed by the revelation from the House of Representatives that President Buhari exempted NNPC from transferring N50 billion to the TSA, and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), confirmation that a letter issued by the Chief of Staff (CoS) to the president, Abba Kyari conveyed the directive.

“Also, they are miffed by the federal government’s idea of withdrawing $1 billion from the Excess Crude Account to fund an insurgency they said had been defeated.

“They went on to tell Nigerians that the decision was taken by governors of the 36 States, whereas, it was solely the idea of the federal government, which they used the arranged National Executive Council meeting to achieve.

“The question is; how can the federal government alone spend almost half of the Excess Crude money that belongs to the three tiers of government (i.e. Federal Government, States and Local Councils)?

“The reality is that our treasury is daily being looted in readiness for the 2019 elections. Nigerians are therefore alerted to this lootings by the APC led federal government to amass huge fund for the
2019 elections under the pretense of fighting insurgency in the Northeast as well as other dubious means.”
