Politics › Mixed Reactions Trail New PDP, APC Merger by vizboy(op): 10:06am On Nov 27, 2013 |
Nigerian lawmakers have made diverse comments on the merger of the new Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) and the All Progressives Alliance (APC), a development expected to generated unexpected debates related to its consequences in the plenaries of the upper and lower chambers.
The merger will be a source of worry for lawmakers, as they will have to consider the legal implications if they decide to move with the governors of the states they represent. The law may not have implications on the governor but on a lawmaker, the individual stands a possibility of losing his seat.
After the declaration of the merger on Tuesday by the chairman of the defunct nPDP, Mr. Kawu Baraje, some lawmakers hailed the decision, describing it as “the best decision the aggrieved group of governors should take”.
Lawmakers, of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the party the governors broke away from, insisted that the merger would not in any way affect the party.
Some other lawmakers said that the merger was long expected while others did not see it coming. Other reactions stressed the fact that something had been brewing beneath the surface and had finally erupted with the merger.
Legal Consequence
Commenting on the legal consequence, a lawyer, Mr. Bamidele Aturu, said that any lawmaker that is part of the transition may lose his seat.
“Well, for governors there is really no legal consequence because once you are elected as a governor of a state it is assumed that you have a state-wide mandate of the constituency, which is a state to govern and he has been elected in his own personal capacity as such.
“Although, the Supreme Court, in Governor Rotimi Amaechi’s case made it clear that when you are elected, you are being elected on the platform of a party and it is the party that won the election.
“But the truth of the matter is that when it comes to the consequences of leaving your old party to another party that Supreme Court’s decision cannot hold sway. There is no provision that says that if you move over to another party you will lose you position,” Mr Aturu stated.
He said that, legally speaking, the governors would remain governors of their respective states and would not be affected.
“But if you are a legislator and you move to another party and you cannot show that your old party has been racked with division, then, of cause, you will lose your seat by virtue of the constitutional provision that is relevant to this matter,” he explained. source: www.informng.com/mixed-reactions-trail-new-pdp-apc-merger/ |

Chima_Agbalajob: [size=15pt]What PDP must focus on now as it's utmost priority is to retain power.
PDP is the biggest and only truly national political party in Nigeria. That advantage must spur them now to go indoors and do some serious political re-engineering and re-alignment of political forces. Before PDP begin to map out which subregion must produce what position, they must secure 2 critical agreements.
1. Persuade President Jonathan to cede his right to run as President for re-election in 2015 to Vice President Namadi Sambo
2. Beg the South east to accept the Vice President position for 2 strategic reasons. which are only the PDP can guarantee an Igbo President and someone who is a Vice President for 8 years will have got enough political clout to do it,than just anyone who is picked from nowhere.
The rest of the political re-engineering to retain power can follow as soon as these two critical pieces have been secured.[/size] Yeah goodluck to concede to sambo. Yeah dream on. |

Politics › SHARIA Court:man With 3 Wives Sentenced To Death By Hanging For Impregnating Sis by vizboy(op): 9:42pm On Nov 25, 2013 |
Upper Sharia court in Bauchi has sentenced a 30-year- old man, Umar Mohammed Kandahar to death by stoning, for impregnating his younger sister. The court records, made available to journalists on Wednesday in Bauchi , showed that Umar was arraigned before Upper Sharia Court Unguwar Jaki, by the Bauchi State Shari’ah Commission, where he was accused of impregnating his younger sister from the same father.
Counsel to the Shariah Commission, Barrister Dayyabu Ayuba, told the court that the suspect is married with three wives, but forcefully had sex with his younger sister. According to Ayuba, the younger sister was brought to his house by their father to help take her to school, but instead, he forced her and had sexual intercourse with her, when she was 16 years old. The act resulted in pregnancy and she has already delivered a baby, contrary to section 136(1) of the Bauchi State Penal code law 2001.
When asked by the presiding Shariah court judge, the accused pleaded guilty, but disagreed that he forced her to have sexual intercourse; instead he maintained that she accepted to have a sex with him. The Shariah Court Judge, Musa Barde sentenced him to death by stoning. Meanwhile, the accused, has filed an appeal against the judgment before the Bauchi State Sharia Court of Appeal, arguing that he did not agree with the judgment.
Counsel to Umar, Barrister Sadiq Abubakar on Wednesday, filed a motion before Bauchi State High court number seven, asking for the bail of the accused, pending the determination of his appeal by the Sharia Court of appeal. He told the court that the accused family suffered because of his detention since 2011 and asked the court to release him on bail, to ease the sufferings of his family.
The Presiding Judge, Justice Aliyu Baba Usman, has fixed Monday, November 25, 2013, for mentioning of the appeal. Source: www.informng.com/sharia-court-man-with-3-wives-sentenced-to-death-by-hanging-for-impregnating-sister/ |

Politics › Jimoh Ibrahim Throws Energy Bank Of Ghana Into Crisis Over Loan Portfolio by vizboy(op): 10:26am On Nov 25, 2013 |
Energy bank of Ghana is in deep board crisis over how to recover loan granted to Bar Jimoh Ibrahim, the chairman of the Bank. The loans were taken by companies within the Energy Group and most of the loans were diverted. The bank secretary has summoned several board meeting, which cannot hold, as most directors refused to attend. The directors are jittery over the huge loan taken by Nigerian corporate virus Jimoh Ibrahim popularly called the corporate undertaker. The bubble is about to burst due to non- repayment of various fraudulent loans granted to his companies within the Energy group including Air Nigeria with forged bank resolution, which were diverted into Jimoh Ibrahim personal account without the knowledge of the company directors. One of the items in the board meeting- agenda is the adoption of Jimoh Ibrahim $5,598million loan consolidation proposal into a newly floated company called ENERGY INVESTMENT (GHANA) LTD. The company is headed by a former First Bank dismissed credit officer.
This company is also the investment arm of the bank as the MD/CEO has no power to invest, a dollar or cedi of the depositors fund. It should be noted that even the MD/CEO of Energy Bank of Ghana, has been under three months contract in the last four years, which is renewable by Jimoh Ibrahim every three months. Bar Jimoh Ibrahim used the companies within the Energy Group to obtain various loans from Energy Bank of Ghana without the consent of the directors of the companies. The board resolution is usually signed by Jimoh in his capacity as the Chairman and any lawyer nominated by him will sign as company secretary. The loan is then diverted into Jimoh Ibrahim personal account and finally to ENERGY INVESTMENT (GHANA) LTD for investment by Jimoh Ibrahim. During the Air Nigeria era, several fraudulent loans were taken in the name of Air Nigeria without the knowledge of the directors but this came to my notice during repayment period. These loans once taken were diverted into Bar Jimoh Ibrahim personal account. These loans were used to finance several other investments, which has now failed. The MD/CEO of Energy Bank of Ghana has been mandated to source for international loan with lower interest rate to restructure these loans but so far no luck. The objective is total restructuring of the loan taken by Jimoh Ibrahim, which is in excess of $ 5,598million
Since this year 2013, no board meeting has been held by Energy Bank of Ghana. The Energy Bank Managing Director, Samuel, a veteran of the banking industry with over 27years experience is pleading for retirement before the bubble will burst. Samuel, the MD/CEO is finding it very tough to restructure the loans and has offered to resign which Jimoh Ibrahim rejected with threat to assassinate him. This explained why Bar Jimoh Ibrahim published his intention to retire from Energy Group as the GMD in January next year, just to avoid international prosecution. The situation is so bad and every director is now being very careful as the bubble may burst any time from now. Energy Bank will make history as the first Nigerian Bank to fail in Ghana where depositors will lose their money. Some depositors who are aware of this development have started withdrawing their deposit and money from the Bank. One of the branches in Ghana is seriously having a run down on it activities. The bubble is already bursting.
THE LIFE AND JOB OF THE MD/CEO OF ENERGY BANK OF GHANA IS ON THE FIRING LINE.
Where on earth, apart from Energy Group, is the contract of employment of a Managing Director of a bank fixed for three months and is subject to renewal by the chairman. With this type of contract, the Managing Director job is on the firing line every three months. Just few months ago, Dafe the Chairman of National Mirror Editorial Board was alleged to have committed suicide BUT we all know that Jimoh Ibrahim murdered him. This explained the case of Femi Ige, the Managing Director of Newswatch Communications Ltd, who just took over from Ray Ekpu, Dan Agbese, Yakubu Mohammed and Soji Akinrinade group, whose contract was not renewed last two week. All effort made by Femi Ige to explain, how innocent he was, on an irrelevant issue boarding on Mrs Kayode house maid turn secretary that Jimoh Ibrahim has been sleeping with, turned to deaf ear. Femi Ige, who did not know how Jimoh Ibrahim sex scandal involving a staff house maid leaked to the public, was fired. Even Steve Ayorinde, the former MD/CEO of National Mirror has been reduced to CEO without any power to manage the National mirror. Today Jimoh Ibrahim has taken over as the Editor-in-Chief of National Mirror and a junior staff under steve before his elevation as CEO of the newspaper now issues query to steve.
It should be recalled that, it was the Afrixim Loan of $ 40million granted to Air Nigeria that Bar Jimoh Ibrahim diverted into the acquisition of Energy Bank of Ghana. The loan was obtained in Sept 2011, transferred into UBA account in London in faviour of Energy Bank of Ghana and the bank was commissioned in Feb 2012. In addition to the $5000million loan, another loan of $ 598million dollars was taken for the failed International operations of Air Nigeria. Many Nigerians can recall before the closure of Air Nigeria, how passengers were asked to contribute 50 pounds at London Gatwick Airport, which resulted to scuff between the staff of Air Nigeria and the passengers.
The business strategy of Jimoh Ibrahim is to use Air Nigeria or companies within the Energy Group to raise loan and the loan will be diverted into his personal account. The entire business empire of Jimoh Ibrahim exist on loans, fraud and fraudulent diversion, of which, many of these loans will still be outstanding as at the time Jimoh would have retired from Energy Group. There is no business being generated by his business conglomerate, no business development strategy and no marketing strategy to move the business empire forward. Nicon Insurance Plc is under liquidation, Nigerian Re-Insurance Corporation is out of operational existence due to non- compliance with the statutory requirement, the Sao Tome University and Energy Bank of Sao Tome are closed economy investment. It is only a matter of time before the bubble will burst as Jimoh Ibrahim is currently facing various tax evasion charges by FIRS. A critical review of his entire business group by technocrats will confirm the above assertion.
Energy Bank is in serious crisis with over $5,598Million loan taken by the Chairman, Bar Jimoh Ibrahim; the bank is in grave danger. Energy Bank of Ghana is technically dead and its operations will soon be suspended like Air Nigeria for one year, by Jimoh. The central Bank of Ghana is not aware of the rot in Energy Bank of Ghanan. Nigerians travelling to Ghana and transferring money through this bank should be careful. The fraudulent activities of Jimoh Ibrahim within this bank cannot be numbered. When, I told Nigerians that Air Nigeria was a flying coffin, many believed and those who were lured away by Jimoh Ibrahim CNN advert having been calling me for assistance. Today, another round of CNN advert is being advertised on Energy Group every week. Nigerians should watch out for another drama as Energy Bank of Ghana is about to fall. These CNN advert, were done in the days of Air Nigeria and suddenly the Airline was closed. In the aviation industry, Aircraft are supposed to be insured in line with the aviation rules, that no chairman of an airline should be a Shareholder in the insurancing company. In the case of Air Nigeria, all passengers were insured by Nicon Insurance Plc and re-insured by Nigeria Re- insurance Corporation; these dead companies are owned by Jimoh Ibrahim. It means that in the event of air accident, the beneficiaries of the passengers will not be compensated and even any surviving passenger will not be covered by the airline insurance.
Any bank that accepts Jimoh Ibrahim transaction must be ready to sack the Managing Director of the bank or have the entire board dissolved or the bank must collapse. Afribank now mainstreet bank and Former Oceanic Bank are very good example. In most banks, Jimoh Ibrahim comes with such a heavy loan request, that on default, the board will be in crisis and Jimoh will ask the Directors to provide total solution to the loan problems. At this point, the Directors are all in crisis managing the difficult loan portfolio with daily threat from Jimoh. Most of the securities pledged are structured to expire within the life of the loan, without the critical issue being made known to the bank Directors. A careful study in all the banks where Jimoh Ibrahim has transacted business will reveal this secret.
Most times, the documents pledged are retrieved from the bank using ladies in legal department without the knowledge of the Directors. To achieve this objective, Jimoh will suddenly send cash gift of N5M to the lady during her birthday, child naming ceremony, holiday period and sometimes first class ticket just to draw the lady in question near. Various gifts will normally follow the first N5M and eventually the lady is broken and the deal to withdraw such documents struck. Most senior staff ladies in Energy Group are from the legal department of banks like Union Bank, Oceanic Bank, Afribank, now mainstreet Bank or personal assistance to the bank CEO. Sex and new executive job are offered to the lady, who will pull out the document, while various spiritualists will be working on the lady every day. Sometimes guarantee pledged will expire before the end of the transaction. This is deliberate as Jimoh Ibrahim is just a fraudster from birth.
Jimoh Ibrahim is the grand master of corporate fraud in Nigeria, having been blacklisted by Central Bank of Nigeria.

naptu2: 1) It was Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway.
2) The allegation was that her convoy suddenly came out from a side street onto the expressway. Usually, cars from the side street should wait for cars on the expressway, but it was alleged that the security cars suddenly came out of the side street and attempted to take over the expressway. The trailer was on the expressway and had to swerve to avoid hitting the security cars. that fact that she said she did not know of the accident till she got to ilorin shows she is ignorant. And I think her convoy is actually the cause of the accident |

Politics › Kwara Gov’s Wife Denies Link Lagos Traffic Accident by vizboy(op): 1:40pm On Nov 21, 2013 |
The Wife of the Kwara State Governor, Mrs Omolewa Ahmed, has denied a report by an online blog(not informng.com), linking her convoy with a traffic accident in Lagos last week in which two people allegedly died.
Speaking through Dr. Femi Akorede, spokesperson to the State Governor, Mrs Ahmed disclaimed any involvement with the reported accident and challenged the publishers to produce the Police report linking her or her convoy with the incident.
“I have been reliably briefed by several people in the convoy including the wife of the Governor and the facts indicate that Mrs Ahmed’s convoy narrowly escaped from the accident rather than causing it. On the said day, Mrs Ahmed was returning from visiting someone in hospital when her convoy narrowly escaped being hit by a tipper-truck, having left the scene of the accident seconds earlier by choice of providence. On noticing the out-of-control tipper truck racing towards them, the remaining drivers quickly left the junction and joined the convoy. The reported accident, tragic as it is, therefore had nothing to do with Mrs Ahmed or her convoy. However, any loss of life is tragic and sad no matter the cause.
“Furthermore, Mrs Ahmed was unaware of what happened until she got to Ilorin and was told about the near-mishap. As a kind-hearted person, she will have offered assistance if she had been aware of the incident at the time. We also only got an inkling of the alleged casualty from the accident following a newspaper report the following day which however did not mention her or her convoy”, said Akorede
“It is also untrue that the tipper truck in question reportedly ran into by-standers in a bid to avoid a collision with Mrs Ahmed’s convoy. Neither is it true that the convoy was driving on the wrong side of the road. All drivers in the convoy have a standing order to avoid over-speeding and to always comply with traffic rules. source: www.informng.com/kwara-govs-wife-denies-link-lagos-traffic-accident/ |

Politics › Senator Stabbed By Son — Son Found Dead In Home by vizboy(op): 7:17pm On Nov 20, 2013 |
https://informng.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/6b25561f61_creigh-deeds-with-obama-1-522x293-300x168.jpgPolice in the US state of Virginia say they believe the son of a state senator stabbed his father before shooting himself to death. Senator Creigh Deeds, a former candidate for governor, is in “fair” condition from stab wounds to his head and torso, said police.
The other person found in the property was Mr Deeds’s son, Gus, 24, who died at the scene from a gunshot wound. Police said they were not looking for any suspects.
Virginia state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller said investigators were still trying to figure out motive and the sequence of events but said the two men had been involved in an “altercation”. Ms Geller said that “based on the evidence we have right now we are looking into this as an attempted murder and suicide”.
Police said that despite his injuries Mr Deeds was able to walk from his home in rural Bath County, western Virginia, to a nearby road. A cousin who was driving by saw him and picked him up, making a call to emergency services. Mr Deeds, 55, was flown to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville.
Ms Geller said that he had “been able to talk with investigators and our troopers” about the incident. The Richmond Times-Dispatch newspaper reported that Gus Deeds underwent a mental- health evaluation at a hospital on Monday, but was released due to a lack of psychiatric beds in the area.
The state senator, a Democrat elected in 2001, represents Bath County. He ran unsuccessfully in 2009 against current Republican Governor Bob McDonnell. Four years earlier he lost to Mr McDonnell in a tight race for state attorney general. Shortly after the gubernatorial campaign, Mr Deeds and his wife, Pam, were divorced.
He remarried last year but police said there was no-one else in the house at the time of the incident. ‘Exceptional public servant’ Governor McDonnell said in a statement: “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Deeds family.” He added: “Creigh Deeds is an exceptional and committed public servant who has always done what he believes is best for Virginia and who gives his all to public service.”
Local politician David Toscano told the Washington Times that Tuesday’s incident was “a terrible tragedy”. “Senator Deeds was very close to his son Gus, and has taken herculean efforts to help him over the years,” said Mr Toscano.
Gus Deeds has enrolled at the College of William and Mary in Virginia where he studied music, but he had withdrawn last month, according to school spokesman Brian Whitson. The college said he had a strong academic record but did not say why he left.
He had earlier taken time off university to campaign with his father during his bid for governor. “He needs me and I need him,” Senator Deeds told a reporter in the autumn of 2009, about campaigning with Gus. source: www.informng.com/senator-stabbed-by-son-son-found-dead-in-home/ |
