HRM Benjamin Ikenchukwu Keagborekuzi I, Obi (Dein) of Agbor Kingdom in Delta State, is one of Nigeria's highly-revered kings. The 43-year-old king ascended the throne at the age of 2.5 years and is the 18th king of the kingdom. Not many know that the Dein is married as he lives a private life devoid of controversy. When asked in an interview sometime back with PUNCH about his marital status, the Dein said, "I’m married already to a strong beautiful woman. I met her at an event I attended. Only God knows how the United States, as big as it is, was able to find an Agbor woman for me. Honestly, it was very strange. I thank God because I wasn’t expecting to have met an Agbor woman there."On what attracted him to his wife, the Dein added, " First, she is very beautiful. And I like strong women. My wife is a warrior; that attracted me to her because I also want my children to be warriors. What your wife is, is what she will pass to your children. A good wife will make you, while a bad wife will break you."

Former Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar has broken his silence on the RUGA settlement which was recently suspended by the Federal Government. Atiku's statement is following questions raised by ex-minister Femi Fani-Kayode who is a PDP chieftain. According to Femi Fani-Kayode's questions on Twitter: "I have 3 questions for @atiku, the man who I believe won the 2019 presidential election. 1. What is your position on RUGA? 2. Why have you not said one word about it? 3. What is your position on the threat and 30-day ultimatum made by Arewa youths against southerners?" In his response, Atiku said,"My position on Ruga is the same as articulated by the Governors elected under the banner of my party, the PDP. My position has been well iterated by our Governors & the PDP is one. I will not dignify that threat with a response. There is no North or South. There is just Nigeria."

The outgoing First Lady of Oyo State, Florence Ajimobi is 60 today. In a birthday tribute, her husband Senator Abiola Ajimobi described her as "The Snow in my Winter". The tribute reads that, "At times like this, writing about you is something I would ordinarily hesitate to do. This is because it would compel me to share a lot about our intimacy. Besides, given the deep affection we both share and how invaluable you have been to me, there is absolutely no way I would be able to recount all your matchless attributes in this limited space. But since it's your Diamond Birthday celebration, this momentous occasion should not pass by without a worthy toast to you, my priceless and supportive companion.At a time when the privileged in our society are wont to blow their own trumpet, you have chosen to allow your numerous altruistic deeds speak for you. You are a quintessential quiet achiever, a philanthropist extraordinaire and devout Christian, who relates with humanity with the fear of God. Because of your signature ebullience and warmth, you have been described in glowing terms and honorifics as caring, affectionate, accommodating, generous, beautiful, loving...by others over time. But, these are snippets in comparison with what you truly represent to me, our children and grandchildren. Be assured that you will forever remain the Snow in my Winter.. because of your uniqueness".

Following a statement attributed to the EFCC chairman Ibrahim Magu that between 2011 and 2015 32 entities looted N1.3trillion, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan - who was then Nigeria's President has in a statement released by his former aide Reno Omokri - has dismissed this as false. Below is the full statement:


Just days after the United States Department released a report which established that massive corruption remains rife under the Buhari administration, the Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ibrahim Magu, has come out with a very incongruous riposte, intended to divert the attention of the public from the damning report.Ibrahim Magu, as usual, sought to drag the name of former President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan into the mix and blame him for this latest in a series of negative verdicts on the current administration’s anti-graft war.Speaking at a programme in Lagos on Monday the 25th of March, 2019, the EFCC boss alleged, without producing any shred of evidence, that “N1.3 trillion was stolen between 2011 and 2015 … by 32 entities, including private individuals and organisations."



This is strange because Magu was expected to have used the forum to address the issues of impunity raised in the U.S. State Department report which directly indicted leaders of the anti-corruption crusade by emphatically noting, among other things, that “there is a climate of impunity in the President Muhammadu Buhari government that allows officials to engage in corrupt practices with a sense of exemption from punishment”.The claim of a stolen N1.3 trillion public fund which Magu reiterated on Monday is not new, for the discerning members of the public, the claim by Magu is rehash of false allegations that started its ill-fated journey in 2016.In January 2016, Muhammadu Buhari’s prophetically named Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai (Lie) Mohammed, claimed at a world press conference in Abuja, to mark the beginning of the administration’s war against corruption, that 55 well-placed Nigerians stole a whopping N1.34 trillion between 2006 and 2013, a period covering the Presidencies of Obasanjo, Yar’Adua and Jonathan.


"Nine months later, specifically in October 2016, the Chairman of the Presidential Advisory Committee Against Corruption (PACAC), Professor Itse Sagay repeated the allegation with only a slight alteration, by alleging that about N1.4 trillion was stolen by top government officials and businessmen under the last three administrations.It will be recalled that in July 2015, Adams Oshiomhole, the current chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), had alleged that a former government minister in Nigeria stole $6bn (about N2.1 trillion). Oshiomhole said “US officials informed President Muhammadu Buhari of the alleged theft during his visit to Washington the previous month.”


"However, the U.S. State Department denied the story, asking Oshiomhole, to name the official and not drag United States into Nigeria domestic politics.The truth is that Ibrahim Magu lied and this is not the first, or second time he has lied to the public.It would be recalled that Mr. Magu has boasted on many occasions that the EFCC under him had recovered about N739 billion within two years, adding that over N500 billion was recovered in 2017 alone.However, Kemi Adeosun, the then minister of finance in the same Government at that time, decided to put a lie to Mr. Magu’s claims, by revealing in March 2018 that contrary to all the figures provided over time by the EFCC’s acting chairman, Ibrahim Magu, only N91 billion of such claims could be accounted for by the Government.


"So, instead of relying on wild and unsubstantiated allegations, I would advise Mr. Magu to focus on some facts, like the following:
According to Transparency International, Nigeria is more corrupt today than at anytime during the five-year period of Dr. Goodluck Jonathan’s time in office.


Whereas under Jonathan and the PDP, Nigeria made her best ever improvement on Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index, moving 8 places forward from 144 to 136 in 2014, but under President Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, Nigeria has made her worst ever retrogression, moving backwards 12 places from 136 to 148. This is a fact.



It is also a fact that under the Muhammadu Buhari administration arranged the recall, reinstatement and double promotion of Abdulwasiu Maina, the biggest ever thief in Nigeria’s civil service history and even gave him armed guards.



It is also a fact under the Muhammadu Buhari administration, the Group Managing Director of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation awarded $25 billion worth of contracts without due process. To put this in perspective, that money can pay 1 million Nigerians the proposed new minimum wage of ₦30,000 for 4 years. This is a fact.



Moreover, it is a fact that renowned entertainer, Mr. Charles Oputa, AKA Charly Boy, recently revealed that the spokesman for the Muhammadu Buhari re-election campaign, Mr. Festus Keyamo, paid him a nine-figure sum (at least one hundred million Naira), to attack the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the February 2019 Presidential elections.



The question Mr. Magu should answer is where did Festus Keyamo get so much money that he carelessly throws around?



Finally, Nigerians saw clear evidence via drone imagery that bullion vans carted cash to the home of the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress, Senator Bola Tinubu, 48 hours to the Presidential election.



Mr. Tinubu even boasted on live television that the bullion vans carried money and that it is nobody’s business. This is even as the Money
Laundering Act of 2011 makes it illegal for any individual to make cash payments exceeding Five Million Naira. And provides that every cash transaction over ₦5,000,000 must be done via a financial institution. ‪


These are the types of characters surrounding President Buhari. Characters that you will not trust with even your dog.



One had expected that all these remonstrations from the US State Department among with the facts listed above would prompt Mr. Magu to change his politically-influenced blame game approach and adopt a more professional strategy.



Sadly, that was not to be.


To have simply repackaged the fable of the missing N1.3 billion at this time, shows that the EFCC boss probably thinks that Nigerians are a bunch of people with no retentive memory.



Magu should realize that his credibility and that of the agency he leads should derive from the attention he gives to objectivity, professionalism and hard evidence. It is rather unfortunate that Magu chose to enmeshed state institution such as the EFCC into partisan politics, thereby prioritizing propaganda, deceit, half-truth and hearsay as the organization’s strategy of governance. Enough! Nigerians want to hear something new, good news, tales of hope, and not this rehash of poorly articulated fables like corruption fighting back and non-existing folklores of people who stole in an unknown year.

Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume (APC, Borno South) has disagreed with the position taken by the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) that Senate Leader Ahmad Lawan should be the next Senate President.

The Adams Oshiomhole-led APC national leadership recommended Lawan to President Muhammadu Buhari during a meeting with senators-elect for the 9th Assembly in Abuja on Monday night.

Meanwhile, Ndume, a former Senate Leader, said while briefing journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, that the APC leadership's nomination of Lawan is a wrong decision as APC senators-elect were not consulted. Lawan noted that majority of the APC senators are unhappy with the decision, while adding that the APC leadership’s decision did not reflect the true position of what President Buhari wants.

Ndume said he had consulted with President Buhari and APC national leader Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, and they both gave him  the go-ahead to contest for the Senate President’s position.

The deputy governorship candidate of the African Action Congress(AAC), Chief Akpo Bomba Yeeh on Monday defected to the People's Democratic Party(PDP).Addressing newsmen at his home in Port Harcourt on Monday, Yeeh said the reason for his decision is for him to join hands with Governor Nyesom Wike to move Rivers State forward. Yeeh said: “After due consultations with my immediate family, friends and supporters, I Chief Akpo Bomba Yeeh, the Deputy Governorship of the AAC for the 2019 Governorship election hereby resign my membership of the AAC and announce my defection to the PDP to join hands with Governor Wike to move the state forward."

Meanwhile in a new twist, in a 4-page press statement signed by Yeeh, he alleged in points 6 to 8 the influence of Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi in the 2019 governorship election. According to the statement, "72 hours to the elections, we received the 'good news' that the AAC had been adopted by the Hon. Rotimi Amaechi's-led faction of the All People's Congress(APC) for the governorship election, having been barred by the courts from fielding any candidates for the general elections in the State, except that of the office of the President.


"In adopting the AAC, Rotimi Amaechi emphatically assured us that he was going to fund and do every other thing under the sun to give us victory at the polls. He further disclosed to us that he had already assembled security personnel drawn from the Nigerian Army, the Police, Department of State Security, and Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad(FSARS) to provide adequate security cover and enablement for members of the AAC and APC to effectively rig governorship election and have us declared as winners come March 9th 2019."

The leader and founder of The Synagogue Church of All Nations(SCOAN), Prophet TB Joshua has raised concerns in a prophetic warning about how the Federal Government handles "inconclusive elections" in Nigeria. Speaking on Sunday 17th March 2019, Prophet T.B. Joshua said,"I have a message for my country and I want to say it. What is the message? The government should be cautious of the way they go about inconclusive election.They should be cautious about it. This can be an open door for satan. You know satan kills, steals and destroys. They should be cautious the way they handle inconclusive elections. This can be an open door for satan. Satan kills, steals and destroys. Lift up your voice and pray. If here is not at peace, you cannot come here. So, lift up your voice and start your prayer from this country, Nigeria. Open your lips and pray for peace and harmony. Pray for the nation, Nigeria - for peace and harmony, for understanding, wisdom. God's intervention! In Jesus Christ's name we pray!"

The Oluwo of Iwo, Oba Abdulrasheed Adewale Akanbi, has said going by the present economic and financial realities in Osun State, the state is sick. The first-class king made this disclosure during Engineer Ademola Adedapo’s annual secondary schools quiz competition held in Iwo. Oba Akanbi said: “Osun may find it difficult to pay wage bill. The government should overhaul the civil service. Osun will never rise if there are two vehicles to 30 drivers. The civil servants should upgrade themselves so that they can be more productive.

"We have a problem in Osun and we have to shout and tell the world that we are sick in Osun. We need a medicine and we have to find the medicine for Governor Oyetola to be successful. He is a politician and it may be hard for him to even say what I am saying now. I can say it because I am a traditional ruler, who believes in the truth.It is just the truth I am telling you. We need to upgrade and update our civil service to be ICT compliant and we have to create a way to find other jobs for them in the civil service.


"With what is going on in Osun, we don’t have the money. I am in this government and it doesn’t matter because I am a traditional ruler. I have to be concerned on how government can succeed.“We have so many workers for some jobs. I am not telling them to retrench, but government should find some ways out of this situation. How much is the allocation of Osun State in a month? Can it pay the wage bill or salary? Civil servant themselves should be more creative. Civil service is the largest employer of labour in this state and the IGR is nothing. We need to create more IGR.


"The traditional rulers should be involved in this.All our natural resources and all these festivals that we celebrate should be sources of revenue to the state. There should be general overhaul in the civil service. Osun is dying. The state is paying so much money and not making money. People have to pay tax and there should more ways of ensuring the payment of informal taxes. There are many income being generated through informal sector and is not coming to the government."

The son of the Oba of Lagos, Oba Rilwan Akiolu, Moshood Akiolu of APC, emerged the winner of Lagos Island Federal Constituency II in the House of Representatives elections. Akiolu scored 12,988 votes to defeat the candidate of the PDP, Adamoh Olagbenga, who scored 4,345 votes. Akiolu, in an interview with 'Newsmen on Sunday' in Abuja said that he took advantage of the “Not Too Young to Run” act to win the Feb. 23 election.

Akiolu said, “In Nigeria today, more than half of our population are younger than 30. So, if we’re old enough to vote, we’re old enough to run for office too. That’s the idea behind the #NotTooYoungToRun. The campaign initially launched in support of Nigeria’s Age Reduction Bill. Signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari on May 31, 2018, it has given young Nigerians like me the opportunity to serve my constituency and my Nation. All the while, Nigeria’s population trended younger and younger, until reaching its current median age of 18.


“As one of the first few young Nigerians who have benefited from the movement, I will make sure that the act will not be out of order. Let’s not forget that the absence of youth in decision-making processes in government has created disillusionment among Nigerian youths with regards to Nigeria’s political parties and the ruling class.


"Presently, Nigeria has a high unemployment rate, most of them youths, but there are lesser policies than those required to halt this problem. If the youths of a country are jobless, then there is bound to be an increase in vices. The people of my constituency longed for change to get me here and I won’t disappoint them. Being a young person and having confidence in me, their interest will be uppermost."

There is tension over the whereabouts of the highly-respected Professor Pius Adesanmi. Going by 'unconfirmed' reports, Adesanmi is said to have been on his way to attend the African Union ECOSOCC committee meeting in Nairobi. His Facebook page in the last hour has been swamped with messages from his followers asking for him to comment. These concerns are coming on the heels of the Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed in Addis Ababa this morning on its way to Nairobi.

Dr. Peter Odili, a former Rivers State governor, was the force behind ex-governor now minister, Rotimi Amaechi's emergence and rise in politics. Since Amaechi 'betrayed' his former boss, not much has been heard of Peter Odili. In 2014 in an interview, Odili - a trained medical doctor - stated that,"With all the best intentions, we supported Amaechi's political career and ambition. We thought we did what was best for the state. As you know, until a man has power and has money, you don’t really know him, but that is a story for the future." Going by reports, these days, Peter Odili spends more time in Port Harcourt where he manages his Pamo University of Medical Sciences (PUMS). It's worthy of note that Odili's wife Mary serves as a Justice of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, having been appointed in 2011 an Associate Justice by then President Goodluck Jonathan. Peter Odili will in August 2019 turn 71 years.
