Oyedepo is disgracing himself

My vote for PMB

Mynd44:
This is a problem.

I have always said the PDP is not paying attention to details. Article 6 should be fought tooth and nail becaise of what it can do to them.

This executive order basically says the EFCC can lock anybody's account when accused of fraud.

Campaign funds in trouble

Problem with the corrupt...

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday upheld the validity of the Presidential Executive Order 6 of 2018 which provides for the interim seizure of assets linked to ongoing criminal trials and investigations.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on July 5, 2018, issued the Presidential Executive Order, which two lawyers, Ikenga Ugochinyere and Mr. Keneth Udeze, had instituted a suit before the court to challenge its validity.

Delivering judgment on Thursday, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu dismissed the suit for lacking in merit and affirmed that the President has the constitutional powers to issue the PEO as long as it does not encroach into the principles of separation of powers.

She ruled that the PEO was issued as a policy directive for the implementation of provisions of existing laws, adding that it also recognised the right of every citizen to approach the court for redress if aggrieved by enforcement of the PEO.

The Federal High Court in Abuja on Thursday upheld the validity of the Presidential Executive Order 6 of 2018 which provides for the interim seizure of assets linked to ongoing criminal trials and investigations.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on July 5, 2018, issued the Presidential Executive Order, which two lawyers, Ikenga Ugochinyere and Mr. Keneth Udeze, had instituted a suit before the court to challenge its validity.


Delivering judgment on Thursday, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu dismissed the suit for lacking in merit and affirmed that the President has the constitutional powers to issue the PEO as long as it does not encroach into the principles of separation of powers.

She ruled that the PEO was issued as a policy directive for the implementation of provisions of existing laws, adding that it also recognised the right of every citizen to approach the court for redress if aggrieved by enforcement of the PEO.


She also held that the interim forfeiture of assets linked to various offences or ongoing criminal investigations could only be enforced in line with the provisions of the law and did not amount to an infringement of the rights of the affected person, who also has the right to approach the court to seek redress.

While reiterating that the PEO must be implemented in accordance to the principles of the rule of law, she added that the coordinating role imposed on the Attorney-General of the Federation by the PEO was subject to section 174 of the Constitution and must be predicated of the existence of facts.

When you are asked to Vote for Atiku and PDP in the next year general election...Please ask them for your own $5,000 .....Because the PDP delegates paid $5,000 each, are not better than you...after all it is a stolen national cake ...everybody should get his/her own share

Nice one...some will come here to dispute it

Put your source to make it to FP

President Buhari is the best President in the history of Nigeria.

This man does not have any personal interest in Politics.

God Bless PMB
God bless APC
God bless South West
God Bless FRN

So many educated illiterates on this forum. Why don't you listen to professionals before making comments. Income tax by Nigerian citizens are paid on worldwide income not only the one made within Nigeria jurisdiction.

Will President Buhari sign any order without the input from professionals,accountants and tax men?

Nigeria is doomed from the children of hate who display their ignorance everyday

Yes...inasmuch as the transactions were done in dollars and not naira

PDP Successive govts were there for 16 years ....they did not pay..

Kudos APC
Kudos PMB
God bless FRN

Funds to NASS and Judiciary is a first line charge...it has nothing to do with Executive

Saraki used the money for PDP campaign

Atiku don enter one chance

paramakina202:
And suddenly his former enemies are now hailing him.

Not really...because they see him as a liability. He needs them than they need him.

Fayose is often regarded as a hero and voice for the opposition .Suddenly he becomes an enemy after he raised alarm that he may dump the opposition party .

We saw this coming..that after PDP primaries , many will abandon the ship....This is just the beginning , Wike and PDP Chairman may work against the party since it is already in public domain whom they support going by the revelation made by Fayose.

2019 election is a done deal by the governing party..because everyone in the opposition party PDP is there for selfish reason.

Pictures Dont lie...

The staff of the multimedia organisation, Gotel Communications, owned by former vice president, Atiku Abubakar, are currently in distress over owed severance benefits and delays in payment of salaries.
The Yola, Adamawa State based media organisation, which has a television channel and two radio stations, has also scaled down its operational hours due to challenges associated with finances and management.
Uncertainty is brewing among staff who the company owes over N97 million in unpaid entitlements, due to disengagement of their previous appointments.
Insiders blamed the situation on what they called a “sit-tight and overbearing committee” which Mr Abubakar set up to reposition the company three years ago, and the former vice president’s carefree attitude to the business.
The indebtedness started in 2016 after the committee appointed to re-organise the station sacked all staffers and re-engaged some of them in fresh appointments.
Those who were asked to go were reportedly paid promptly while those re-absolved in the organisation are yet to get their pay despite issuance of disengagement letters bearing what every staff was due to receive.
Staff retrenchment

Insiders at the station told PREMIUM TIMES the business became distressed with the economic recession of 2015, leading to a series of reorganisation measures.
To coordinate the reorganisation, Mr Abubakar, who on Sunday emerged the presidential candidate of the opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 elections. appointed a seven-member committee named Gotel Communications Restructuring Committee (GCRC).
The committee is headed by Adamu Modibbo, a retired banker and People’s Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in Adamawa State.
Others in the committee are Babakura Jatau; a son of Mr Abubakar, Abba Abubakar; Timaus Mathias; Abdullahi Nyako; and Abdullahi Babalele. The organisation’s acting managing director, Mohammed El-Yakub is the secretary of the committee.

In October 2016, the committee took the decision to cut down staff strength of the station.
PREMIUM TIMES had reported how the workforce was scaled down in the wake of the reforms, which brought down staff number from 306 to 125.
The disengagement and re-absorption were initially carried out verbally before local unions pushed for formal communication.
It took almost a year before the management issued letters dated August 2017, backdating the actions to October 2016.
One staff who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of victimisation, said the reduction in staff strength was so sharp that current staff are being overworked.
PREMIUM TIMES learnt that apart from those retrenched, some staff also resigned their posts due to the situation at the stations.
One staff alleged that a few staffers later hired by the controversial committee were not as competent as those sacked, and therefore unable to cope.
“For example, I work for almost seven days a week running from one task to another, something that ought to be done by nothing less than three staff. I hardly get a day off, throughout the week,” he said.
There has also not been a new condition of service and salary scale in place, despite the spirited effort of the local chapter of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the National Radio, Television and Theatre Workers Union (RATTAWU).
A November resolution of the combined sittings of the two unions seen by our reporter catalogued the issues and appealed to the reorganisation committee for redress.

The company’s managing director, Mohammed El-Yakub, said his management team is pushing for the settlement of the owed benefits through the restructuring committee.
But speaking to PREMIUM TIMES, chairperson of the Gotel Chapel of the NUJ, Muhammad Mustapha, said almost a year since the November 2017 submission to the management, the issues are yet to be addressed.
Rather than attending to contending issues, in line with the purported reforms sought to be implemented, the committee is overseeing what one staff called “strangulation” of the radio and television channels.
“As I speak to you, we don’t have internet connection. We use modem, and even the modems are inadequate that some of us have to provide for ourselves,” one source, a presenter at one of the radio stations said.
The radio station on AM frequency, which used to operate for 24 hours has scaled down hours of operations, and insiders said even in those active hours, the stations often go off air due to short supply of fuel.
“Sometimes, if there is no electricity, we have to be off air as diesel is not always available to power the stations. Finances are now controlled by the committee and the managing director is just there, helpless,” on operation staff said.
Committee reacts

When contacted, chairman of the restructuring committee, Adamu Modibbo, denied charges of mismanaging the stations.
He admitted that staff were being owed benefits from the retrenchment but, contrary to the promises his committee made to the staff about payment, Mr Modibbo told PREMIUM TIMES they are not paying anytime soon.
Mr Modibbo, who initially said the new system has written off the old condition of service which “was not contributory pension system” however, said under the new contributory pension arrangement, the company cannot pay those benefits until those staff are unemployed.
Reminded that the old system was different, by his own admission, and that beneficiaries were already issued with letters of engagement bearing the amount they are each entitled to, Mr Modibbo maintained his grounds.
“Those that are not paid are those that were asked to continue to work. We reabsorbed them,” he said.
“In other words, the reason why we said they were disengaged and reabsorbed is that is the nature of the new condition of service because it is the contributory pension scheme.

“We disengaged them under the former system but reabsorbed them under the new condition of service which is contributory pension scheme. How do you expect us to pay them entitlement when they are still working? Can you pay someone pension when he is still getting salary?”

Deji Adeyanju

Just met one of the top PDP presidential aspirants at the aiport & I asked him a simple question: Do you think PDP can win 2019. His answer was revealing.

He alleged that Wike was working for Buhari to install a candidate & trade-off the party with Rivers. Wike has alleged same.

He said Wike is sponsoring a candidate that cannot defeat Buhari and this is why Wike alleged that some of the candidates are working for the presidency to cause division in the party. He said Wike wants to be president in 2023 and is not concerned about 2019.


He said the reason Wike took PDP convention to Port-Harcourt is to manipulate the process & install his unpopular candidate on the party like the way he did with Secondus.

PDP House of Confusion, I pity una. A house divided against itself cannot stand. Bury personal interests.

Wike is definitely working for APC

A former Vice President, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, has given condition to support any aspirant that would emerge as the sole candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in the presidential primary ahead of 2019.

Atiku said he would gladly support the candidate if only the party conducts credible, free and fair elections at the primaries

Atiku is one of the 13 president aspirants on the platform of the PDP.
He gave the condition when he paid a visit to the Tor Sankera, Chief Abu King Shuluwa, in his Makurdi residence, on Sunday.

There, the former Vice President also assured that he would easily resolve the Tiv/Fulani crisis if he becomes the President of this country.

Asked if he would support whoever emerges as the party’s flagbearer, Atiku said, “Well, I believe whoever emerges candidate of the party at the end of the day will also enjoy the support of others provided the party conducts credible, free and fair elections at the primaries”.
