OPC and Afeniferi must do something before these herdsmen annihilate yoruba land.

And they must act fast

“How could I say Prince Abubakar Audu will return money if elected, when Audu never stole a dime while in office?

Funny,right?

The Kogi State Chairman, All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Hadi Ametuo has refuted reports that he appealed to Kogi State citizens to elect his party’s gubernatorial candidate, Prince Abubakar Audu, to enable him (Audu) return to the state, the N11 billion allegedly embezzled by the former governor while in office.

Speaking in a chat with Vanguard, yesterday, Ametuo, who was said to have made the appeal while addressing newsmen after the Eid el-Kabir 2015 prayers, described the report as the desperation of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), adding that the cheap propaganda has exposed their weakness.

“How could I say Prince Abubakar Audu will return money if elected, when Audu never stole a dime while in office? Prince Abubakar Audu is a shrewd manager of resources and he is incorruptible. Over the years, he has been the poster of opposition politics in Kogi State, because of his desire to see to the development of the state,” he said.

The Kogi State APC chairman, who also described Audu as a man of integrity, said 2015 is the year of APC to uproot the non-performing PDP from Lugard House.

He said: “The PDP should start preparing their handover notes because the people of the state will reject them on November 21. They have failed the Kogi State, a situation which has repudiated their tenancy in Lugard House.

“Today, Kogi State is one of the least developed states in the nation despite the comparatively high allocation coming into the state. With low allocations, Prince Abubakar Audu was able to build all the institutions you find in the state today. We are confident of defeating them at the poll.”

APC, a Party of confused people – PDP

However, the Publicity Secretary of the PDP in Kogi State, Prince Bode Ogunmola has carpeted Prince Abubakar Audu for accusing his party of being behind the alleged N11 billion scandal report that has dominated political discourse in the state over the last two weeks.

Reacting to reports made by the campaign organization of the APC governorship candidate that PDP was the brain behind the story, Ogunmola asked the APC to put its house in order and look inwards for scapegoats.

“Their claim that we are launching propaganda against Prince Abubakar Audu is untrue and a ranting of a confused party that is pregnant of defeat. Their chairman who was alleged to have made the statement is not a member of our party. Kogi people know the truth.

“To us in PDP, the forthcoming governorship election is about issues, it is about the celebration of a governor, Idris Wada, who has achieved so much. We are concerned about telling Kogi people what Wada has done over the past three and a half years and what they should expect from him in the next four years.

“Audu is our regular customer. We have been beating him since 2003 and we hope to repeat it again on November 21 with the support of the Kogi people.”

Will the people respond to this menace? Let's watch and see.

Oya, my Yoruba brothers and the OPC over to una.

Barely two weeks after some fulani herdsmen attacked and kidnapped the former Secretary to the Government of the Federation SGF, Chief Olu Falae, some herdsmen have again destroyed the same farmland.

The farm Manager Bruno ‎Akhigbodemen conducted newsmen round the farm located at Ilado in Akure North Council area of Ondo State

Over one kilometer plantation of maize was destroyed during the invasion at about 2am on Monday.

‎Akhigbodemen said that the herdsmen arrived the farm with their cows and wrecked the havoc despite the horrible experience the workers and their boss had in the last two week sequel to their menace‎.

He pointed out that ‎effort by the guards to prevent the destruction of the farmland were rebuffed as they were threatened by the herdsmen until their cows grazed to their satisfaction.

The farm Manager said that the former Finance minister has reported the latest destruction to the state Police Command for necessary action.

Vanguard learnt that following the complaint by Chief Falae, some detectives from the Special Anti Robbery Squad (SARS) ‎were immediately deployed to the farm on Monday.

They reportedly combed the neighboring villages for the suspects but they were unable to make any arrest.

Report had it that the search still continues as some detectives still keep vigil in the village.

It was gathered that the police authority has invited leaders of the herdsmen in the state who stood surety for those that were arrested and released during the last invasion when over N500, 000 worth of farm products were destroyed.

‎Akhigbodemen described the destruction of the farm last week sunday as devastating.

He appealed to the government and the security operatives to act decisively on the menace of the herdsmen.

Chief Falae could not be reached for comment on the destruction of his farmland which is coming after his kidnapped and payment of N5m ransom to free him from his abductors.

It would be recalled that the former Minister for Finance has been having issues with the fulani herdsmen ‎whose cows have on several occasions destroyed his farmland.

He is billed to travel abroad this weekend for medical treatment after his horrifying experience which he described as ” hell”.

The latest destruction according to findings is the fifth within two months.

Before his kidnap barely two weeks ago, two fulani herdsmen were arrested and detained for destroying over N500,000 worth of farm products on the farm.



They were released after some of their leaders wrote an undertaker that they would pay compensation and would not encroach on the farm again.



Barely three weeks after the episode, Chief Falae was abducted by some gun wielding Fulani herdsmen on the same farmland and was released after 72 hours.



No fewer than three policemen have been deployed to his Oba Ile residence since his kidnap last month.



Contacted on the Sunday invasion and destruction of the farm by the Fulani herdsmen, the Police Image Maker Femi Joseph said that he is not aware of the incident.



Joseph was recently posted to the state and made the Command spokesman last week.

Ok. Let's wait for the senate confirmation first.

gwales:
Stealing is now corruption

Not until they question Fashola and Amaechi and press necessary charges, till then keep on deceiving yourselves

Good. Let Buhari body language solve the problem

When are they going to invite Obasanjo, Abdulsalam, Aisha Buhari and other players in the Halliburton scandal? Why this selective fight against corruption?

Buhari and his 'Faces Of Corruption. The funniest thing he is making us the laughing stock in the comity of nations . God help us

Thunder fire Oliseh. Make our captain no go bury him mama again?

But @Op, who amongst the analogue advisers is going to explain all these to the chief dullard in Aso Rock? God help us all

Good but people with light fingers like Fashola and Amaechi shouldn't near there o!

The stewpid boy finally committed suicide or was silenced? Let's wait for more details

But the babe wowo sha o!

Right time to pay back the APC.

Chai! Corrupt Angels? You mean children of destruction

Spokesman of Afenifere, Mr Yinka Odumakin, on Tuesday, described some of President Muhammadu Buhari’s ministerial nominees as poster boys of corruption.

Odumakin, who was reacting to the long-awaited ministerial list finally announced earlier on Tuesday, by the Senate President Bukola Saraki during Senate plenary said: “Nearly everybody on that list has been involved one way of the other, at one level or the other since 1999. Quite a few of them have serious allegations against them.

“In fact, some of them are poster boys of corruption. We hope that those who would do the screening will do a thorough screening. If we are fighting corruption on one hand, then those who have been portrayed to be corrupt should not be promoted to higher responsibility.

“There are some who have governed at the state level and have been alleged to be corrupt. So, to jump that and move to become ministerial leaders, rubbishes the whole concept of our fight against corruption,” he averred.

What do you expect from an illiterate president who thinks the fight against corruption is by witch hunting political opponents? He doesn't know the importance of using subtle methods in de-radicalizing the boko haram members. Anyway I don't blame him since he has and operates with analogue brains.

The fact of the matter is that Buhari or the APC is not ready to really fight corruption in its entirety. The so called fight is gradually being confirmed to be selective and this is being done in connivance with the already biased media. They are currently dying to sweep the Halliburton, Siemens, Fashola and Amaechi corruption cases under the carpets because they are political allies of the ruling APC. Shame on the president for deceiving Nigerians on the so called fight against corruption.

Buhari's darkness everywhere. No light, no salary, no ongoing capital projects, no portable water, boko haram tension everywhere... Is this the change Nigerians asked for? This is becoming pathetic

When I say this fight against corruption is selective and only being used to witch political enemies, some APC commoners would open their smelly mouth to say otherwise. Today, another corrupt allegation has been made instead of calling for investigation they are busy hailing the accused. APC, I hail una

CSTR2:
lol.
You expect me to respond to this abomination of a thread with an epistle?
You overestimate yourself.

Lol.... The slowpoke thinks he is important and his useless opinion matters

DaBullIT:
Your papa yansh

Please go and look for your mates; matured minds are rubbing minds. Don't even bother to reply because you're henceforth ignored.

Is that the #List? It's more like an old school reunion. Funny and shameless lots

@Op, what's this trash you wrote up there? Is everything mentally ok with you? If not, please call for assistance immediately

ba7man:
It's Fg jurisdiction and GEJ said he fixed it during his campaigns.

It's now Fgs jurisdiction but Lasma operates on that road; right? Then the same state govt banned the movement of those trucks on that same FG road? Is APC not in power now, why neglect the road? You guys are just bunch of confused hypocrites.

Am sure their looting and stealing hands will stop them. @Op, Are you not even ashamed of being a hypocrite in this much touted fight against corruption? You condemned Saraki and Deziani even without any court pronouncing them guilty but hailing these men with with corruption charges against them. #hypocrite.

Heard you are also involved in stealing from MTN? No wonder
