Politics / Adeboye Curses Pastors Collecting Bribes From Politicians by tobbiefied: 10:57pm On Feb 04, 2015
The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian
Church of God, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, has warned
that pastors collecting bribes from politicians risk the
wrath of God.
The renowned cleric said this on his official Facebook
page on Wednesday while reacting to allegations by
Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, that the
Peoples Democratic Party had bribed some pastors
with N6bn to work against the All Progressives
Congress and its presidential candidate, Maj. Gen
Muhammadu Buhri (retd.).
Adeboye, said, “I read in the newspaper this morning
that one of the serving governors in Nigeria said that
some pastors in Nigeria collected N6bn from
politicians for the purpose of influencing their
members to vote a certain candidate in the coming
elections.
“May I humbly request that if there be any pastor or
pastors who collected such money, they should
please return such as quickly as possible before the
fire of the Almighty consumes you.”
Amaechi, had on Tuesday, told his supporters not to
be deceived by pastors, whom he said, were
campaigning against Buhari because he was a
Muslim.
He had said, “Some pastors collected N6bn and they
are circulating document and telling you not to vote
for an Hausa man; not to vote for a Muslim; that they
want to Islamise Nigeria. Tell them to return our
N6bn.
“They gave them N6bn; they should return it to the
Federal Government coffers. They will tell you that
Buhari wants to Islamise Nigeria; tell them we are
too educated.
“I am a Catholic, but no Catholic priest has told me
that story right now in the Catholic Church because I
will ask him how. If any pastor tells you that, tell him
to return the money.
“Nobody can Islamise Nigeria; they have
commercialised Jesus Christ. They should stop
commercialising the Christian faith. You know what
Jesus Christ did in the temple? He chased them
away.”

Politics / Jonathan Kaduna Rally: Police Chase Pro-buhari Crowd Out Of Stadium by tobbiefied: 6:47pm On Feb 01, 2015
The police and other security operatives on Saturday chased out pro-Buhari supporters at the Kaduna rally for the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate, President Goodluck Jonathan.

The main bowl of the 30,000-capacity Ahmadu Bello Stadium, the venue of the rally, was half-filled. It was the last in the series of North-West rallies scheduled for President Jonathan’s re-election bid.

When the state Governor, Mukhtar Yero, mounted the podium to read his welcome address, as soon as he shouted ‘PDP,’ a large section of the crowd chorused ‘Sai (only) Buhari.’

Also, when the Vice President, Namadi Sambo, shouted ‘Sai Nigeria,’ the crowd responded, ‘Sai Buhari.’

All the personalities that spoke at the rally were greeted with the ‘Sai Buhari’ slogan.

In reaction to the development, security operatives, including combat-ready policemen descended on the crowd in an attempt to chase them out.

As the police kept chasing the pro-Buhari supporters out of the stadium, they kept chanting, ‘Sai Buhari’ intermittently.

They also tore several posters of President Jonathan and his deputy in the stadium.

Not done, the youth outside the stadium reportedly threw pebbles on the convoy of the president after the president had left the stadium at about 3:00pm.

A visibly angry Deputy Governor of the state, Nuhu Bajoga, was spotted by our correspondent at the rally, reprimanding members of the local organising committee at the main bowl of the stadium and asking the committee to “go and bring more people.”

It was gathered that the money for the supporters were allegedly diverted by some officials of the local organising committee.

Reacting to the development, APC’s National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed said, “It shows the popularity of Gen. Buhari. It shows that he is unstoppable.

“Chasing his supporters out of the stadium does not help the President or the PDP. It worsens their case.”

The Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees, Senator Walid Jibril, however dismissed insinuations of the non-acceptability of President Jonathan in northern states.

Jibril said it was the “quality of the crowd that matters and not hiring of miscreants.”

In his speech, President Jonathan said Kaduna was one of the major beneficiaries of Federal Government policies.

He urged the people of the state to re-elect him in the Febuary 14 election.

He said the state was the focus of the central government in the next four years if elected.

He also promised to revamp the collasped textile mills in the state to create jobs for the teeming youths in the state.

Vice President Sambo had earlier in his speech said the people of the state were highly elated with the President for his choice as running mate in the February polls.

He described Jonathan as patriotic and detribalised and therefore urged the people of the state to vote the party in all the elections.

The Kaduna State Governor, Mukhtar Yero in his welcome address said the state was the stronghold of the party since 1999 and would remain as such.

He thanked the President for transforming the state, especially, the establishment of fast rail service from Abuja to the state to ease transportation problems and the establishment of 30KWT power plant in the state

Politics / Obasanjo Speaks About Buhari`s Certificate Issue by tobbiefied: 1:11pm On Jan 22, 2015
Below is what the former president allegedly said. I
use allegedly because after now, he will come out
and say he never said it. Read below...
The truth of the matter is that Jonathan is aware that
Buhari is qualified to contest for President Election
but some hawks with Jonathan, do not want him to
contest Because they believed that he will win and
come for them.
The issue came up in 2007, and we investigated and
found out that his WASEC is with the military and that
was why he was allowed to contest in 2007.
Buhari cannot listen to anyone about his certificates
because as a General of Nigeria Army,he will speak
when he chooses, not by Femi Fani Kayode and
Okupe asking him.
Fayose and other corrupt People including Kashamu
do not want Buhari because of his anti-corruption
slogan. Even Jonathan did not finish his PhD course
but when it was presented we stated that, it does not
matter but many people do not know because it was
PDP thing.
I see Buhari as the next President and Jonathan is
aware of that, and that is the reason they are hitting
him everywhere to put confusion in his camp. But a
General is always a General…. Source: Twitter:@kvngbrainard lindaikeji..com/2015/01/obj-speaks-about-buharis-certificate.html

Politics / Gov Babatunde Fashola Faults President Goodluck Jonathan Statement In OAU by tobbiefied: 8:39am On Jan 16, 2015
the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, has
faulted a statement credited to President Goodluck
Jonathan that Muhammadu Buhari did not buy any
weapon for soldiers when he was in government.
Fashola spoke at the 2014 series of the Obafemi
Awolowo Free Education Lecture organised by the
Faculty of Education, Obafemi Awolowo University,
Ile-Ife, Osun State on Thursday.
He wondered if President Goodluck Jonathan
planned to fight terrorists with 1985 weapons.
He said, “When a man says, ‘When they were there,
they did not buy guns’. Ask, If they had bought guns
in 1985, will he be fighting war with 1985 guns?
“It is a good thing to take a man by his words.
Awolowo prepared himself to speak in public
because he knew the value of the spoken word and
more importantly knew electoral promises were a
matter of very serious honour, and to break them
was a matter of great dishonour and breach of trust.
“Indeed, nothing honours or dishonours a man like
the value of his words.”
Fashola also faulted activist of free education in
Nigeria, saying they were not well informed about
what it meant to give free education at all levels.
He explained that free education could only be
guaranteed at the primary and secondary level,
adding that many people had failed to differentiate
between education and specialisation.
According to Fashola, education ends at secondary
level, other activities at tertiary level can be described
as specialisation.
He said, “What is the definition of education that
must be free and which the state is duty bound to
provide, and which the citizen is duty bound to take?
These questions are important; those who chant
Awolowo’s name in the quest for free education at all
levels, have probably not done the cost of educating
one child at primary level, let alone secondary and
tertiary level levels which some people are
clamouring for.
“And if these omissions by the protagonists are
enough, they cannot provide any data about the
number of beneficiaries, yet they say Awolowo would
simply have done it. This is where they display their
ignorance of the man whose name they use in vain to
make loud attention-seeking noise.”
He, however, asked people to stop comparing
present educational policies to that of Awolowo.
Vice-Chancellor of OAU, Prof. Bamitale Omole, and
Dean of Faculty of Education, Prof. Philip Jegede,
urged government at all levels to make education a
priority.
Politics / 276 Days After Chibok Girls Abduction, Presidentvisits Borno by tobbiefied: 8:28am On Jan 16, 2015
President
Goodluck
Jonathan
on
Thursday
paid a
surprise
visit to
Maiduguri, Borno State, one of the three North-
Eastern states worst hit by Boko Haram insurgency.
Jonathan embarked on the trip shortly after laying a
wreath at the National Arcade, Abuja in
commemoration of the Armed Forces
Remembrance Day.
There had been clamour for him to visit the zone
since April 14 when over 200 schoolgirls were
abducted in Chibok by the sect.
Critics also chided the President for continuing his
presidential campaign without visiting or not making
a direct comment on the January 3 killings in Baga
and Doron Baga in Borno State by Boko Haram.
Amnesty International had said on Monday that
reports it got from the locals showed that over 2,000
people were killed and their houses razed. But the
Defence Headquarters in Abuja denounced the
international human rights agency’s claim, saying
about 150 people died in the attacks.
Before the Thursday visit which came barely a week
ahead of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential
rally scheduled to hold in Maiduguri on January 24,
the United States denounced the latest Borno killings
as “an enormously horrendous slaughter of innocent
people.”
At the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army at the
Maimalari Cantonment where he met with the
officers and men currently in the frontline of the war
against terrorism, Jonathan thanked them for their
patriotic service to the nation.
He assured them that the nation would soon see the
back of the Boko Haram insurgents as the military
were now better equipped to take them on.
The President said that the briefing from the service
chiefs showed that the 10 local governments in the
state under Boko Haram control would soon be
recaptured.
“Let me assure you that we will soon take over all the
areas. From the briefing I have received from the
service chiefs, I assure you that we will take over the
towns and communities, “ he added.
Jonathan’s Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,
Dr. Reuben Abati, later issued a statement in which
he quoted the President as telling the soldiers that
the nation was proud of them for their
commitment to the defence of the civilian population
against terrorists.
Describing the troops as a special breed of men,
the President assured them that all necessary action
was being taken to address challenges facing them in
their operations against Boko Haram.
“In terms of equipment and logistics, we have already
made considerable progress since the insurgency
started and we will continue to improve in that
regard until your operations are successfully
concluded,” he told the soldiers.
Abati said that Jonathan also toured wards of the 7
Division Hospital and Medical Services Centre where
he met with soldiers recovering from injuries
sustained in operations against Boko Haram and
wished them a speedy recovery.
Before leaving Maiduguri, Jonathan was also said to
have visited over 900 displaced persons from Baga at
the Maiduguri camp.
Abati said the President sympathised with the
displaced persons over their losses during the
attack on them by Boko Haram.
According to him, Jonathan promised them that the
Federal Government would strive to make their stay
in the camps more comfortable while it continues to
do all within its powers to restore peace and security
to enable them to return to their homes soon.
The statement by Abati quoted Jonathan as also
saying, “Terrorism and insurgency have been very
traumatic for all of us. I feel particularly disturbed
when I hear of our people being displaced within
their own country.
“I assure you and other displaced persons that
government is working very hard to ensure that you
do not remain in these camps for too long.
“I know that many of your houses have been
destroyed. We will assist you financially so that you
can rebuild your homes and return to them
gradually,” the President told the displaced persons.
The President also thanked the Red Cross and other
international organisations for assisting in the
provision of relief materials to the displaced persons.
He charged local, state and Federal Government
officials to work in unity in rendering support to the
displaced persons.
“I do not want to be hearing conflicting reports on
support being given to them. Government is one and
we must all work together to assist our people
whenever the need arises.
“We must cooperate maximally and work together at
the local government, state and federal levels to
ensure that our people who are unfortunately
displaced from their homes get the best possible
treatment,” Jonathan said.
The Chief of Army Staff , Lt Gen Kenneth Minimah,
said the President’s visit was significant since January
15 is the day set aside for remembering fallen
heroes.
Also on the Presidential entourage were the
National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, and the
Director-General of the National Emergency
Management Agency, Muhammad Sani-Sidi.

Politics / APC Regains House Of Rep Majority As PDP Loses 8 Reps by tobbiefied: 7:17am On Jan 15, 2015
The ranks of the Peoples Democratic Party in the house of Representatives further depleted on Wednesday as eight more members defected from the majority party.

Four of the defectors joined the rival All Progressives Congress, giving indications that the leading opposition party had gained the control of the house as the majority party.

The All Progressives Grand Alliance gained two of the defectors, while the Peoples Democratic Movement and the Social Democratic Party each gained one, bringing to eight the total pdp defectors on Wednesday.

All the defected legislators either cited dissatisfaction with the conduct of the party’s last primaries or divisions in its fold as reasons for their decision to abandon the pdp.

The four who defected to the apc were Garba Ulma, Zakari Ibrahim, Ibrahim Kamba and Abdulmalik Cheche.

Wilson Nathaniel joined the SDP, while Tony Madwatte and Nwogbo defected to PDM and APGA respectively.

Another member, Mr. Benjamin Aboho, defected to APGA, while Mr. Forte Dike left APGA for the apc.

Deputy Chairman, house Committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Victor Ogene, also made his defection from APGA to the apc official on Wednesday.

By Ogene’s defection, both the chairman of the house committee on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Zakari Mohammed, and his deputy are now members of the apc.

The apc alone gained six out of the total of 10 lawmakers who changed political parties on Wednesday.

A National Assembly official toldThe PUNCHthat the series of defections hitting the pdp lately had raised the numerical strength of the apc to 179 members, giving it the upper hand over the former.

The official said, “As it stands today, the apc has taken over as the majority party. There are now 179 apc members, while pdp has 162. The small parties together have 19 members.
“Ten of the members belong to the SDP.”

WhenThe PUNCHsought the reaction of the Deputy house majority Leader, Mr. Leo Ogor, he neither denied nor confirmed the figures.

Ogor merely described the loss of his party’s membership as “inconsequential.”

He reminded our correspondent that the issue of defections in the house was still before the courts.

“This issue is inconsequential because the pdp is clearly in control. The courts have said status quo should remain.

“So, we are not bothered as we are in control. Even if it is only Leo Ogor who remains in the pdp, we are in control, so long as the courts have not decided on the issue of defections”, he said.
The SDP has jumped to the third largest party in the house with 10 members.

Labour Party has about three members, APGA has three, PDM has two members and Accord Party, one

card which would enable them partake
in the voting exercise come next year.
He said: “Every eligible voter should
ensure they get their voter’s card since
this is the only ticket that would ensure
that they vote in the candidate of their
choice. Nigerians must begin to realise
that their vote is their power, and it must
be the concern of every Christian to
decide who rules them as they are under
covenant obligations to respect and pray
for their leaders. Therefore, it is
imperative to vote in whom your heart
desires to be your leader and also

relationship with your leaders spiritually
by praying for them always.”

government centre closest to them to
get their cards on or before the last day
of the year.
He displayed an example of good
leadership as he brought out his own
PVC and that of his wife.
He also assured citizens that Nigeria will
remain one indivisible nation, full of
prospects and a bright future, adding

of breaking the country, would be the
one to be broken completely.

Fashola, wife of Deputy Governor of Kogi
State, Tokunbo Awoniyi, Deputy
Governor of Lagos State, Adejoke

Education / BRAINARD || Jonathan’s Visit: OAU Students Clash, Six Injured by tobbiefied: 5:53pm On Dec 01, 2014
No fewer than six students were injured during a clash
between some students of Obafemi Awolowo
University, Ile-Ife, on Sunday evening.
While some of the eyewitnesses described the fight as
a power tussle between students, who are loyal to the
President of the Student Union, Ibikunle Isaac, and
those of Vice-President, Oladejo Olufunmi, others
described it as a cult attack.
It was learnt that the Education Rights Campaign
members had just concluded a meeting at the SU
building Television room, when the fight broke out.
Among those involved in the fight were some union
executive members, suspended students of the
university, members of the Security Committee of the
SU and ERC members.
Some of the students, who suffered varying degrees of
injuries, were rushed to the nearby hospitals for
treatment.
One of them, Tedy, was allegedly pierced with a
pointed object suspected to be a screw driver and
another, David, was dealt a matchete cut on his head.
It was gathered that the door to the SU president’s
office, where some students hid, was broken while the
occupants were thoroughly beaten, leading to the
injuries suffered by some of the students.
There are however two sides to the cause of the fight.
While some of the students said it was as a result of
ideological differences, others inferred that it was
related to the protest held during President Goodluck
Jonathan’s visit.
Jonathan, traditional rulers and some politicians were
at OAU for a supposed conference, where Jonathan
was endorsed ahead of the 2015 polls.
The campus fracas took a dangerous dimension when
students of the school engaged themselves at the
school gate with weapons.
Chief Security Officer of the university, Mr. Paul Ogidi,
said there was no cult attack in the institution.
“It is true that our students fought. There was no cults
attack on our campus. We did not witness any attack
but a fight among our students,” he said.
But the Vice-President of the Students Union, Funmi
Oladejo, insisted that what happened on the campus
could be likened to 1999 cults attack that claimed the
lives of students.
She denied the fight as being factional but hinted that
the controversy that surrounded the presence of
President Goodluck Jonathan on the university campus
last Friday contributed to the cause of the fight.
She said, “I was to have a meeting at SUB yesterday
(Sunday) around 6pm. On getting there, I met a
student, Sanyaolu Oluwajuwon, inside the gutter,
where he had been seriously beaten and I wondered
what happened. After a while, the injured students
went to show the injury to others and that enraged
many students.
“Meanwhile, what started the fight, I heard, was that
ERC was having its meeting when the President and
PRO passed through the place and saw them.
He then called his boys to start coming that some
people are having an opposition meeting at SUB and
they all came to beat those on the ground.
“After beating them up, they ran away except Teddy
that waited. We later realised that those that ran to
town went to hire ‘cults’, who came with machetes. One
of them (David) was even unconscious. We eventually
caught four of them. Two were students and two were
non-students. “
http://www.punchng.com/news/jonathans-visit-oau-
students-clash-six-injured/
When asked if the fight was connected to Jonathan’s
visit, she responded, “As far as I am concern, that is to
mess up the whole issue. They want to make it a
partisan stuff and that is out of sense. Our unionism is
known to be independent and non-partisan. So, the
case of Jonathan’s visit was sardonic. They (Ibikunle’s
faction) wanted to pay back the opposition that greeted
Jonathan’s visit and we should be a check to bad
government.”
It was learnt that the two of the arrested people
involved in the fight were taken by students to the
Awolowo Hall of the university, while the security
officials took another two students involved in the fight.
The President of the Student Union, Isaac Ibikunle, told
our correspondent that non of his loyalists were cult
members.
He promised to call back to give his ‘full reaction’ after
a meeting expected to be held between members of
the executive and parliament today (Monday).
The Public Relations Officer of the union, Oludare
Bamidele, wrote, “It remains a sardonic issue that
suspended students are beating legitimate students on
OAU campus right now. Is this intellectual struggle?
The act of dragging a security official to be beaten is an
affront to law and arrival of the hobbesian state of
nature.”
Osun State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Sade
Odoro, said those involved in the fight were not
cultists.
She said, “OAU students truly fought and they were
taken to police station. The police counselled and
released them after a while. There is no secret cult
thing involved.”
Education / Oau Union Leaders Launches Cult Attack On Some Student by tobbiefied: 6:53am On Dec 01, 2014
Some students of Great Ife were yesterday evening brutalised
by some Students and non students who were
suspected to be cultists. The fight started in front of the
SUB after a student right movement, ERC(Education
Rights Campaign) finished their meeting at SUB TV
room.
Speaking with Olamide, one of the active members
under the defunct Sammy led security committee who
was at the scene, he said," after our meeting, Ayinla
(the Chief Security Officer of the Students' Union)and
his group confronted one of the student Union activists
who was also at the just concluded meeting to beat
him up for reasons I don't know. I had to intervene
which led to myself and him being beaten. We called
Sammy at this point but at his arrival they all fled to
town.
After their departure,we gathered and move to
Asherifa to get Ayinla to answer on why he had to beat
a student of OAU on campus. On our arrival at
Asherifa,we met none of them only to be confronted
again at the school gate by some guys who bruised
some of us brutally including Sammy.
Eventually we were able to apprehend two of them and
we already brought them to Awo. Similar to the case of
Iwilade several years back,we anticipate the coming of
this cultists to rescue their members who are with us,
he added."
In the same vein, Sammy, while addressing students at
Awo cafe made it known that the fight this night was
caused by no other reason but the mobilisation of OAU
students to protest against the government of
president Goodluck which did not go down well with a
faction of the Students' Union government.
Sunday evening, members of the ERC were
holding a summit at SUB TV room when the president,
PRO, the Union’s CSO and hired cultists from town
launched a deadly attack on them. A member of the
ERC [Davo] who sustained a deep axe cut to his
forehead is currently under intensive care, while
Comrades Sammy, Engels, Juwon and others were
brutally bloodied. As of now, few of these cult elements
have been apprehended by Great Ife students and are
under interrogation.
THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES, VICTORY IS CERTAIN

Education / Federal High Court Reinstate Com Juwon By Brainard by tobbiefied: 6:48pm On Nov 13, 2014
There are times we may be powerless against injustice.
But there must never be a time we fail to protest
Todays ruling further proved that the judiciary is the
last hope of the common man.
The Federal High Court sitting in Osogbo today ruled
that comrade Juwon should go back to school with
immediate effect.
This is a victory for Great Ife students and Nigeria
Students at large. This has further vindicated comrade
Juwon on the frivolous allegations brought against him
and others by the OAU Management.
However its not yet over untill its over. Gentle
reminder. The fate of other seven progressive
comrades are still hanging in the balance.
Great Ife we must not relent and rest on our oars. The
battle is half way won. The struggle continues. We must
finish this struggle once and for all.
In prosperity our friends knows us. In adversity we
know our friends.
#REINSTATEOAU7 NOW!
Congratulations Comrade Juwon!
Congratulations Great Ife Students!!!

Politics / BREAKING: Tambuwal Picks APC Presidential Nomination Form ------------- by tobbiefied: 6:35pm On Nov 13, 2014
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal,
has picked the notice of intent and nomination forms to run for
the office of president of Nigeria on the platform of the All
Progressives Congress, APC.
Mr. Tambuwal recently defected from the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party, PDP. In response, the federal government
withdrew his security detail.
Mr. Tambuwal was earlier tipped to run as governor in his home
state, Sokoto.
But the speaker received the presidential nomination forms
Thursday, his spokesperson, Imam Imam, told PREMIUM
TIMES.
“Earlier today, some friends and political associates of the
Speaker notified him that they have bought the forms for him,”
Mr. Imam said.
PREMIUM TIMES understands that several APC members in the
House of Representatives trooped to the party’s Abuja office to
purchase the forms on Mr. Tambuwal’s behalf.
Sources in the APC say Mr. Tambuwal is in the presidential race
at the prompting of one of the leaders of the party, Bola Tinubu,
who is a former governor of Lagos State.
Mr. Tambuwal’s indication of interest brings to five the number
of persons who vying for the nation’s top job on the platform of
the party.
Others who had earlier picked the forms are former Head of
State, Muhammadu Buhari, former Vice President Atiku
Abubakar, Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso of Kano state, and
newspaper publisher, Sam Nda-Isiah.
The APC has said it will conduct a modified primary election in
which delegates will vote for their candidate of choice from
their home state, after which a national convention will simply
collate and ratify the votes from across the country.
