Trump not ready to commit to election results if he loses

President Donald Trump is refusing to publicly commit to accepting the results of the upcoming White House election, recalling a similar threat he made weeks before the 2016 vote, as he scoffs at polls showing him lagging behind Democrat Joe Biden. Trump says it’s too early to make such an ironclad guarantee.

“I have to see. Look … I have to see,” Trump told moderator Chris Wallace during a wide-ranging interview on ”Fox News Sunday.” “No, I’m not going to just say yes. I’m not going to say no, and I didn’t last time either.” The Biden campaign responded: “The American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House.”

Trump also hammered the Pentagon brass for favoring renaming bases that honor Confederate military leaders — a drive for change spurred by the national debate about race after George Floyd’s death. “I don’t care what the military says,” the commander in chief said.

The president described the nation’s top infectious diseases expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, as a “a little bit of an alarmist” about the coronavirus pandemic, and Trump stuck to what he had said back in February — that the virus is “going to disappear.” On Fox, he said, “I’ll be right eventually.” The United States tops the global death toll list with over 140,000 and confirmed infections, with 3.7 million.

Since zoning of political offices has become the order of the day in Nigeria, an equitable consensus would follow that Southern Nigeria—the Igbo in particular—will produce the next president of the country, come 2023. But such zoning convention has begun to beg the question: Would the candidacy be open to the entire Igbo nation or would such opportunity be limited to the South-East zone of Nigeria?

The answer is a no brainer: The ticket ought to be open to the entire Igbo nation of the Southern extraction. Here is why.

The proponents of rotational presidency argue that the concept would ensure a sense of belonging among Nigeria’s disparate ethnic groups. Of the three Nigerian major tribes, namely, the Igbo, Hausa-Fulani, and the Yoruba; only the Igbo are yet to lead the country under a democratic setting.

Chaos In Imo: Uzodimma No Longer In Control
https://247ureports.com/2020/07/chaos-in-imo-uzodimma-no-longer-in-control/

It is recalled the APC lawmakers had gathered at the resident of the deputy speaker to air their views and grievances over the manner the Governor had promised and failed. During the meeting, Honorable Ngozi Obiefuna representing Isu constituency shared her displeasure with the manner the Speaker of the State Assembly had not impressed on the Governor over the situation of the lawmakers. While she was speaking, young lawmaker by the name Samuel Otibe representing Ahiazu Mbaise constituency – who was the personal driver to the former Commissioner of Education in Imo State – Onwumere. In a thuggish manner, Hon. Otibe rebuked Hon. Obiefuna for delegating blame to the Speaker. When another female lawmaker by name Hon. Uju Onwudiwe representing Njaba constituency intervened. Hon Otibe went straight for the wine bottle – and threw it at the direction of Hon. Onwudiwe. She dodged it – and the wine bottle smashed into pieces on the wall. Not satisfied, Hon. Otibe grabbed the wine glass on the table and aimed it at Hon. Onwudiwe. She ducked again and the wine glass smashed on the wall. This time, the flying pieces hit another lawmaker – Hon. Herculus Okolo representing Ohaji/Egbema constituency. He was hit on the wrist – and he bleed. The meeting ended abruptly.

With pensioners uncertain of their pensions, the civil servant uncertain of their salaries, the lawmakers at daggers drawn money, and with no infrastructural expenditure on going in Imo State, it begs the obvious question as to why the finances of the State has gone. “Is there a black hole eating up the money”.

In spite of these efforts, instead of Miyeti Allah and other Fulbe groups to team up with the Atyap and Government through the security agents, they have continued to make inflammatory statements and inciting their members through devious propaganda with fake figures of “99 people killed and over 2000 cattle” rustled. We will want Miyeti Allah to show us the mass graves where these bodies were buried and how the over 2000 cattle were moved without notice during a 24hour period.

Then, the revolution torched off an armada of road construction, covering over one hundred and five roads built by reputable first class contractors led by RCC Nig. Ltd, Setraco Nig. Ltd, Nigercat Nig. Ltd among others. In nearly thirty-four months as Governor, over 500km of roads, spanning all the senatorial zones of the state and still standing close to two decades, were done. Some of these roads deserve mention.

*Isuochi -Owerri Ezukala- Ogbunka – Umunze – Umuchu – Amesi-Uga/Uga -Ezinifte – Igboukwu Rd.

*Otuocha-Aguleri-Umuleri-Nteje-Awkuzu-Ifite Dunu-Abagana–Eziowelle-Abatete-Uke-Ideani-Alor-Nnokwa Rd.

*Nnobi-Nnewi-Ozubulu-Ihembosi-Okija- Ihiala Rd.

*Isseke-Orsumoghu-Ukpor-Utuh-Nnewi-Awka Etiti Rd.

*Amawbia-Nibo-Mbaukwu-Agulu-road

*Onitsha-Atani-Osamara- Ogwu-Ikpere Rd

*Onitsha Township roads-Modebe Avenue, Oguta Rd, Ozomagala Str, Upper -Lower Iweka Road, , Francis Street, Ms Elems, Port Harcourt Road.

*Ziks Roundabout- Nkpor-Umuoji-Uke-Nnobi Road

*Awka Township Roads-dualization of Nnamdi Azikiwe Avenue, Civil Service Commission Rd, Nya Lane etc.

*Nnewi Township Roads-Roads- bank road, Ezemewi, Ibeto, Nnewi High School, Rds.

Similarly, education, the pride of the State as the Light of the Nation was not left out as you initiated a Memorandum of Agreement with Church Leaders for the return of schools to the mission. While Archbishops Obiefuna and Valerian Okeke, Bishop Hilary Odili Okeke and Bishop Simon Okafor led the Catholic Church team; Bishops Maxwell Anikwenwa, Ken Sandy Okeke, Efobi and Okpala led the Anglican team. Effectively therefore, schools were handed over to the Missions on 15th September 2005. Today Anambra is better for it.

Ize Iyamu running mate, Mallam Gani Audu under fire after being spotted guzzling Alcohol as against the sacred doctrines of the Islamic religion, which he is a teacher of.

Mallams are teachers of the Koran in mosques, so they are expected to practice what they preach. They are expected to be of good behavior and maintain good conducts in line with Islamic provisions. But surprisingly, Mallam Gani Audu was spotted gulping chilled bottle beer.

The same Gani will be in the mosque tomorrow and be reciting Koran verses where taking alcohol is clearly considered sinful. He would say to his congregation “do not drink alcohol”, and just after the closure of the service he rushes to nearby beer parlor.

Work through Police cronies in EFCC

“I do not understand what the report meant by working with cronies. If what was implied is that I have preferred officers that I work with and who go about their work in unethical manner, my response is that nothing of such exists in the EFCC.

“Officers who work with me know that the easiest way to lose your job is to be found to be involved in unethical or corrupt activities. Indeed, when I assumed office as acting chairman, my first action was to return police officers with integrity issues back to the Nigeria Police Force.

“If the DSS finds that there are police officers in the EFCC who are working closely with me and have properties that their incomes cannot support, the Service is at liberty to expose them.

The spat of corruption related activities in Nigeria have recently begun to make national headlines in a manner that has gripped the nation like never before.

Checkmate El Rufai’s Excesses – Christian Community In Kaduna To International Community

Meanwhile a peace building committee on Kajuru led by Hon. Yakubu Barde, a member of the National Assembly Representing Chikun/Kajuru Federal Constituency submitted it’s report to the Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir Elrufai in mid-June, 2020. On 30th June, 2020, those who were in attendance briefed other Adara elders about the measures the Governor said he intends to take on the crisis. The Adara Development Association has now realized that in reality, some of the measures amount to punitive actions against Adara nation. One of them is the withdrawal of all security agents in Kajuru LGA if there is no peace with Fulani herdsmen.

This seems like another open invitation to the well armed Fulani militia to overrun and take over the already decimated Adara nation. Another decision of the Governor is to go ahead and implement the unjust gazette scrapping Adara Chiefdom which is being challenged in court by Adara community. We are also shocked to hear that in spite of all the atrocities, horrors and agonies that our community has been going through, the Governor is still accusing Adara people of hostility towards Hausa/Fulani residents in Adara land. But most startling of all is the Governor’s assertion that the Hausa/Fulani settlement of Kajuru is older than Adara community thereby aluding that they have more rights over the land than Adara nation.

The federal government has said in view of recent misguided comments and innuendos, it has become expedient for the Ministry of Petroleum to explain misconceptions around the issue of Petroleum Products Deregulation.

Minister of State for Petroleum, Chief Timipre Sylva, in a statement he personally signed Wednesday in Abuja, explained that after a thorough examination of the economics of subsidising PMS for domestic consumption, the federal government concluded that it was unrealistic to continue with the burden of subsidizing PMS to the tune of trillions of Naira every year.

The Minister said more so when the said subsidy was benefiting in large part the rich rather than the poor and ordinary Nigerians.

The community leaders who spoke to agents of 247ureports.com revealed the community no longer viewed the military staged in their communities as impartial security forces geared towards safeguarding them against the invading Fulani herdsmen.

“Their presence in our communities gives a false sense of security to the members of our community.

We have asked them to leave.” – said one of the leaders of the towns that shares bounder with Southern Kaduna. He also confirmed that the military stations had since been vacated by the military personnel.

It is good they are gone”, the leader added while acknowledging the military have been withdrawing from other communities in northern Plateau.

A bishop suspended a suburban Indianapolis Catholic priest from public ministry on Wednesday for comparing the Black Lives Matter movement and its organizers to “maggots and parasites” in a recent church bulletin.

Bishop Timothy Doherty, of the Diocese of Lafayette-in-Indiana, took the action against the Rev. Theodore Rothrock, of St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church in Carmel, for comments that the pastor wrote Sunday in the weekly bulletin.

“The only lives that matter are their own and the only power they seek is their own,” Rothrock wrote. “They are wolves in wolves clothing, masked thieves and bandits, seeking only to devour the life of the poor and profit from the fear of others. They are maggots and parasites at best, feeding off the isolation of addiction and broken families, and offering to replace any current frustration and anxiety with more misery and greater resentment.”

Information reaching 247ureports.com from competent sources within the Imo State House of Assembly indicates the government of Imo State may have pushed the people of Imo State up against the wall due to its mishandling of the COVID19 pandemic.

Particularly, following the unceremonious exit of the NCDC workers deployed to Imo State to assist in ameliorating the continued spread of the virus, the Uzodimma administration appeared to have failed to make amends of the worsening situation. The NCDC workers had left Imo State due to the government’s lack of readiness to receive the NCDC workers – and lack of readiness to combat the pandemic.

He explained that those assets marked by the EFCC belong to the State government, also that Abia government duly entered into partnership arrangements with credible investors for the development of those property under public private partnerships while the reversionary interest in the properties still resides in the State government.

It is simply heartless and insensitive for a news medium in the cadre of Sahara reporters to make a callous mistake in a manner it misrepresented a clean hearted and grass rooted gesture to the rural community women in Bauchi State.

The publishers of sahara reporters published that the 1st lady of Bauchi State distributed pure water sachets as relief materials to rural women in Bauchi State.
