The political situation in Bayelsa state has taken a bizarre turn as gunmen on Saturday night invaded the Yenagoa home of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Domestic Matters, Dr. Waripamowei Dudafa and carted away an undisclosed amount of money after destroying the safe kept in one of his rooms.

Family sources said that the gunmen were asking after him and ransacking the entire building looking for him.

The source said that gunmen who invaded the home were not looking like hoodlums. The 10 man gang were allegedly dressed in mobile police uniform when they came calling.

They were said to have stormed the residence in Okaka Estate, Yenagoa at about 8pm when the three mobile policemen guarding the residence of the Presidential aide were not around.

The gunmen were said to have gained entry into the premises of Dudafah after allegedly telling the security men (civilians) that they were policemen on operations from the police headquarters.

When they got into the premises, they were said to have bound the Chief gateman, one Muhammed Garba, tying his legs, his hands and covering his eyes and mouth.

An eyewitness, who craved anonymity, alleged the attack on Dudafah's home was politically motivated.

He said the incident took place few minutes after results of some rescheduled House of Assembly polls were released and Dudafa backed candidate on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance defeated his Peoples Democratic Party opponent in Kolokuma-Opokuma Constituency.

Narrating his ordeal, Garba, who said he had been working with Dudafa for eight years, said the suspects came in two black Sport Utility Vehicles.

"They ordered me to open the gate. I opened a small gate and saw about 10 of them. They pushed me and they gained entry into the premises. They spanked my head. They tied my hands, mylegs, covered my mouth and eyes with celotape. They went for my room at the security gate and asked me to show them the apartments of police security in the building. They also asked for Dudafa (Oga) house keys. I told them I did not know where they were since I was not the person keeping them. They said they would kill me if they eventually found the keys in my place. I kept quiet. After ransacking my room, they saw the keys. They started using them to open the main building.

"The man leading the operations, asked his colleagues to talk gently so that when my colleague who had gone to buy noodles at that time would not suspect something was amiss. No sooner had they said that than my colleague came in, and they caught him. They now abandoned me bound, and took my second to be directing them. It was my second that was now showing them way. They also went to boys quarters and also seized Dudafah cousin living there. They also tied him. They were threatening them that if they did not cooperate with them, they would waste them."

Garba said when they had held all of them captive, they went inside the building and started ransacking everywhere.

He said they came also with axes and saws which they were using to cut something inside the apartments.

The 55 year old Garba, a father of one, said the operations lasted about three hours before they left.

Dudafah's cousin, Pere Ozoru, said he was sleeping his room when the gunmen came.
He said it was the second gate man, Ibrahim, that brought them to his apartment.

When newsmen visited the residence on Sunday, it was discovered that most apartments in the gigantic edifice were ransacked and furniture were destroyed.

In one of the rooms, a safe was destroyed and it could not be ascertained how much could have been carted away from the safe.
Efforts to get the police reaction were unsuccessful as calls to the spokesman for the Bayelsa State Command, Mr. Asinim Butswat, rang out several times.

Meanwhile the poster should bring his head closer make I break limca bottle for his head

ROTFL

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has said his asking for forgiveness should not be taken for cowardice by his opponents, saying his tenure in office will be determined by God.

He said he took the step to seek a genuine reconciliation with the All Progressives Congress, whose 19 lawmakers in the state House of Assembly were plotting his impeachment.

The governor spoke on Sunday at the thanksgiving service organised for him at the Cathedral Church of Emmanuel, Anglican Communion, Ado Ekiti, to celebrate his electoral victory at the Supreme Court.

Fayose said, “I asked for forgiveness for reconciliation and to pursue genuine peace. Waiving the olive branch does not mean cowardice, it is for peace.

“Conspiracy is against God’s will. What better way could one seek peace other than asking for forgiveness.”

The governor advised the APC to emulate President Goodluck Jonathan who conceded defeat and saved Nigeria from disintegrating.

“When I contested for Senate they said I lost and I did not fight anyone. I did not go to the tribunal and I was saying good things about the government then. The opposition should be courageous enough to accept defeat. I follow Jonathan in and out of office. Jonathan gave up for survival of Nigeria. Jonathan prevented the prophecy that Nigeria would break up in 2015.

“I’m enjoying the mandate of God through his people and that cannot be controverted. My sin is because I allowed the common man to breathe the air of hope.

“The people have spoken (governorship election), they said it was military intervention. They spoke the second term (presidential election), is that one photochromic? And they spoke again the third time (House of Assembly election).

“If God that gave me victory cannot defend me, I better go home. If the people cannot defend the mandate they gave to me, I better go home. Power doesn’t come from man. Power belongs to God. Anyone against the voice of God is following Satan’s way.

“In a democracy, you need a simple majority to win elections, but I enjoy total majority. They want to take government by force, firing shots at people; that is coup against the people. They said they are coming again tomorrow, we are waiting for them.”

But the APC lawmakers advised Fayose to stop inciting the people, saying his Sunday broadcast had demonstrated that he was not committed to genuine reconciliation.

The APC lawmakers in a statement on Sunday accused the governor of inciting the people against them in the broadcast.

A statement by the Special Adviser on Media to Speaker Adewale Omirin, Wole Olujobi, said the governor in his broadcast demonstrated that he was never committed to the peace he preached barely 24 hours before his inciting broadcast.

“How do you reconcile this inciting broadcast with a plea he made for peace not quite 24 hours earlier, which Ekiti people and indeed Nigerians thought was a good move by the governor to thaw the frozen relationship between him and the lawmakers?

“This is a confirmation of what Dr. Omirin said in his Sunday Punch interview that the governor can’t be trusted in any peace move.

“It is shocking that the governor, who refused to make any remark or commitment during the church service after the man of God appealed to him to embrace peace, could go on air few minutes after the church service to start inciting workers, traders, okada riders and artisans to defend him with their last drop of blood.

“As if his inciting live broadcast was not enough, Ekiti people were shocked when a public service announcement started running intermittently on the state media urging okada riders to look out for strange faces across the state and attack them because they are thugs that are being imported into the state by the APC lawmakers.

“They are also to converge on the House of Assembly as early as 6am on Monday to prevent the lawmakers from performing their legal duties,” the statement added.


Stressing that they were not planning any invasion
of the state with thugs, the lawmakers called the
attention of Nigerians to the unlawful acts of the
governor in his desperate move to ensure that the
lawmakers were rendered ineffective in the
discharge of their lawful duties.

A BOAT crowded with migrants capsized in the sea
north of Libya overnight, leaving at least 24 confirmed
dead with the death toll expected to rise into the
hundreds.
According to the Associated Press (AP), Italy’s Coast
Guard in a statement said the migrants’ 20-meter (66-
foot) vessel was reported to be sinking as a
Portuguese-registered merchant ship, the King Jacob,
approached to attempt a rescue. It picked up 28
passengers, but the boat then capsized, sending
hundreds more tumbling into the water.
The Coast Guard’s command and rescue coordination
center in Rome said the boat might have overturned
“because its occupants moved to the side closest to
the cargo ship.”
The Italian news agency, ANSA, said the boat may
have held 700 passengers. But the Coast Guard and
other authorities said they had no immediate way to
determine how many were aboard or how many might
still be rescued. The estimated death toll was
expected to be clarified as officers interviewed
survivors, although many bodies were expected never
to be recovered.
According to Times of Israel, Pope Francis 1 was
among those following the news. “There are fears
there could be hundreds of dead,” Francis told the
faithful in St. Peter’s Square. He bowed his head in
silent prayer as did many of the tens of thousands in
the crowd.
Wreckage of the boat was spotted in the sea.
“There are large fuel stains, pieces of wood, life
jackets,” Italian Border Police, Gen. Antonino Iraso,
whose force has boats deployed in the rescue effort,
told Sky TG24 TV.
When asked whether the boat capsized because the
migrants rushed to one side as the Portuguese vessel
pulled alongside, Iraso replied: “The dynamics aren’t
clear. But this is not the first time that has happened.”
Italy is the number-one destination for illegal
immigration to the European Union, and the numbers of
migrants attempting the dangerous crossing by sea
from Libya swells as the springtime weather
improves, providing calmer seas and warmer water
temperatures. But the smugglers’ boats are invariably
overcrowded and often too small for the open seas.

Nigeria’s economy is to grow faster than those
of France and United Kingdom by 2030, a
consultancy firm, Price WaterhouseCoopers,
PwC, has projected.
Making the forecast in its latest report titled:
“The world in 2050: Will the shift in global
economic power continue?” PwC reported that
China will be the largest economy by 2030, while
India may challenge the United States for second
place by 2050 even as it predicted that the
emerging economies of Nigeria, Indonesia and
Mexico could push the UK and France out of the
top ten economies of the world by the year.
The firm, however, hinged Nigeria’s and other
countries’ capacities to meet the growth
trajectories on the extent to which their
governments are able to build their institutions to
global standards, diversify their economies and
sustained growth-friendly policies.
Reflecting on the report, the PwC Nigeria’s Chief
Economist and co-author, Mr. Andrew S. Nevin,
explained: “Nigeria’s potential advantages for
future growth include a large consumer market,
a strategic geographic location, and a young and
highly entrepreneurial population.
“With drop in oil pric, which could thwart this
possibility as a result of the attendant pressure
on fiscal policy, Nigeria will need to manage the
oil price decline effectively at all levels of
government and create a sustainable platform
for diversification into the sectors.
“We are all aware of the significant headwinds
created by the rapid drop in the oil price, putting
pressure on the fiscal and monetary systems, as
well as reducing economic growth in the short
term.
“To achieve its longterm economic potential,
Nigeria will need to manage the oil price decline
effectively at all levels of government and create
a sustainable platform for diversification into the
sectors that we know will drive the economy in
the future – including power, agriculture,
manufacturing, telecoms, hospitality and real
estate.”
According to him, over the past decade, Nigeria
has boasted superior economic growth and, with
the right reforms and investments, the country
could become one of the world’s leading
economies by 2030, with further progress by
2050.
The report stated further that Philippines,
Vietnam and Malaysia are set to be notable
risers with Colombia and Poland growing more
strongly by 2050 than Brazil and Russia.
With a long-term projections of potential GDP
growth up to 2050 for 32 of the largest
economies in the world, covering 84 per cent of
total global GDP, the PwC report projects insist
that the current global economic power shift
away from established advanced economies in
North America, Western Europe and Japan will
continue over the next 35 years – despite a
projected slowdown in Chinese growth after
around 2020.
Noting that the world economy is projected to
grow at an average of just over three per cent
yearly from 2014-50, doubling in size by 2037
and nearly tripling by 2050, the report which
tipped China as the largest economy by 2030 on
any measure, however stated that it expected
China’s growth rate to slow markedly after
around 2020 as its population ages and high
investment rate runs into diminishing marginal
returns.
“Eventual reversion to the global average has
been common for past high growth economies
such as Japan and South Korea and we expect
China to follow suit,” it stated.
Other highlights from PwC’s projections are that
India has the potential to sustain its higher
growth rate for longer and become a $10 trillion
economy by around 2020 in purchasing power
(PP) terms, or around 2035 at market exchange
rates while emerging economies like Indonesia,
Brazil and Mexico have the potential to be larger
than the UK and France by 2030.

axortedbabe:
At d last part..
Babe u can lie ooo

lol,i thought i was the only person that noticed

icebebe:
But I dnt like her

why

Background

My name is Cynthia Morgan and I am 23 years old.
I am a musician and I was raised by a single
mother, Sherifat Morgan She is a gospel artiste
based in Benin City, Edo State. I had a beautiful
childhood where my mum was firm yet loving; she
played the role of a father to my siblings and I. She
is my biggest fan. I haven’t completed my
university education. I took a break to concentrate
on my musical career.


Calling
Music for me began at the age of seven. I started
in the children’s choir, after which I moved to the
youth choir and later joined the Christian Union
choir. I began putting out music at the age of 16
and I recorded a six -track demo album. I released
my debut single with General Pype titled ‘Dotty
Stepping’ at the age of 17. In 2012, I met Jude
Okoye in Atlanta; he appreciated my talent, took an
interest in my career and signed me to his label,
Northside INC.


Gospel music
My mum is a gospel artiste, so she obviously
understands my craft. Many expected me to
become a gospel artiste like my mum but that isn’t
possible because that is not my calling. She
appreciates my style of music and is my greatest
fan. A lot of people do not know that I have an alter
ego which is the cool-headed Cynthia Morgan.


Queen Ure and I
I do not have much to say about her; she wanted
relevance and I gave it to her. I am actually very
glad I was able to help her because I gave her
more followers and exposure. She rode on my
fame to make a name for herself. How could she
claim to own a song that doesn’t exist on the
Internet?


Complexion
People who complain about my skin tone are
clearly those who do not know me very well. I did
not bleach my skin and one thing they fail to
understand is that you can’t remain the same
forever. The only constant thing in life is change
and I have grown into a beautiful young woman.

Nudity
I am a proud, beautiful Nigerian lady who is
comfortable in her own skin. I am free to post
anything on the social media .Whatever I post
depends on my mood and what I would love to
share with my fans at that point in time. Anyone
who feels offended should unfollow me. I don’t
read the negative comments because it doesn’t
matter to me.


Competition
I am a distinct artiste who does not feel threatened
by any other female artiste. I believe in my talent
and my capabilities. I don’t see competition; all I
see are opportunities to excel in my craft and in
the Nigerian music industry. I don’t jump on the
bandwagon blindly; rather I set standards for
others to follow. I admire all the talented Nigerian
artistes who stand out.


Achievements
My performance at the ‘Headies’ 2014 earned me
a standing ovation. My track KuchiKuchi was
featured on American music artiste, Gucci Mane’s
2013 March mix tape. The mix tape also featured
top American artistes like Lil Wayne, 2Chains,
Future and Waka Flocka

Relationship
I am in a relationship with my music so I do not
have time for a lover at the moment. My man
needs to understand me perfectly and appreciate
my personality first as an artiste and then, as
Cynthia Morgan.

Prized possessions
I think my height and my talent are the greatest
assets I possess. I am unique in several ways..


Fashion
I am crazy about colognes and wrist watches. The
most expensive item in my wardrobe is a
wristwatch which cost me N12m.

bewla:
All this gold diggers wish u come down here naija walahi me go chop u raw

GboyegaD:
Thank God no live was lost.

yeah,thank God

No fewer than 10 AK 47 rifle-slinging men
suspected to be political thugs were arrested by
the police in Nasarawa State on Saturday.
The armed men were apprehended at Anwgan
Mangu polling unit in Chiroma ward during the re-
run election for the Lafia/Obi federal constituency
in the state.
A voter, Friday Negedu, told SUNDAY PUNCH that,
during the course of voting, a man carrying a
Permanent Voter Card belonging to a female from a
different polling unit trying to cast his vote was
noticed by other voters who informed security
agents.
The apprehended voter, according to the
eyewitness, called his mates for help. His mates,
who were suspected to be political thugs came out
with guns blazing, shooting into the air.
The development caused the voters and officials in
the polling unit to flee the unit.
The eyewitness added that the shooting attracted
the attention of some soldiers who arrested the
shooters.
He said, “The election was going on smoothly and
when we discovered a man with a female card
trying to cast his vote and we called the attention
of the security agents. But all of a sudden he called
some thugs who came in their large numbers and
invaded the polling unit.”
Our reporter, who was at the scene of the incident,
sighted some soldiers who drove in and
impounded three cars belonging to the suspected
thugs. Seven AK47 rifles were discovered in the
vehicles with registration number AL 953 LFA, AKW
36XA and AJ 986 LFA.
The arrested men were later whisked to the state
Criminal Investigation Department while one of
them who was shot escaped with bullet wounds.
A soldier who did want his name in print told our
correspondent that thugs engaged them in a
physical combat during the invasion of Anwagn
Mangu poling unit.
Efforts by our correspondent to reach the Police
Public Relation Officer, Nasarawa State Command,
Mr. Ismaila Numan, for comments proved abortive
as all calls to his mobile phone were not responded
to as at the time of filing this report.

A cooking gas explosion on Saturday at about 7.15am occured at 19B Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi, HFB Way, Lagos.

The house is the Lagos State residence of the Kogi State Deputy Governor. Mr. Yomi Awoniyi.

The explosion was said to have been caused by a leakage from the cooking gas cylinder.

Three occupants in the house, including Mrs. Awoniyi were said to have been trapped, while the driver who was outside washing cars was reportedly injured from the explosion.

It was learnt that the four victims were later taken to St. Maria hospital, Yaba hospital immediately they were rescued.

A source said part of the building was badly damaged and collapsed following the explosion.

But the deputy governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Abu Micheal, said he and his family were not affected by the cooking gas explosion.

He stated that he was not in Lagos as at the time of the incident.

The deputy governor said the domestic staff who has some degree of burns and the driver who was hit by part of the debris of the building are in stable condition and are responding to treatment.

The South-West Zonal spokesperson, of the National Emergency Management Agency, Mr. Ibrahim Farinloye told journalists that the agency was alerted after the incidence.

He added that officials of NEMA including himself quickly went to the scene.

According to him, they verified if victims were trapped underneath building.

He said NEMA officials later evacuated the victims.

Farinloye said, “The building collapse was suspected to have been caused by gas cooker explosion around 7:15 a.m this morning.

“The explosion and subsequent building collapse affected three occupants, who were inside the building at the time and the driver who washing the car outside. Although no life was lost, the four injured persons have since been evacuated to St. Maria hospital, Yaba, for proper treatment.

“Currently, the Police Anti-Bomb Squad and Police Disaster Management Unit are working on the site to get to the root of the explosion.

“Afterwards, the Lagos State Building Control Agency will move in to determine the next level of action to take.”

According to CNN, violence targeting immigrant
shops first started in the port city of Durban,
where two foreigners and three South Africans
were killed, after residents accused African
immigrants of taking their jobs and committing
crimes. A sixth death also occurred on
Wednesday, and the body of the 58-year-old
foreign national was found in Verulam town,
where a mob attacked the man at his home.
As such, because of the ongoing inhuman
xenophobic attacks in South Africa on foreigners,
Nigerians inclusive, the Nigerian High
Commission in Pretoria recently announced that
evacuation of Nigerian citizens will begin on
Monday, April 20th.
The commission reportedly made the
announcement via a statement, according to
Leadership.ng, which reads in part:
“As from Monday 20th of April 2015, the process
of evacuating Nigerians from South Africa will
begin as directed by the Federal Government of
Nigeria due to the ongoing Xenophobic attacks
on black foreign nationals in the Republic of
South Africa. To that effect an evacuation
register will be open at the High Commission in
Pretoria for Nigerians intending to return to
Nigeria but cannot afford flight tickets.”
Meanwhille, The Nigerian Union in South Africa
has said it has concluded arrangements to
resettle 50 Nigerians affected by the ongoing
xenophobic attacks.
The President of the union, Ikechukwu Anyene,
made this known in an interview with the News
Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on phone from Pretoria,
South Africa, on Saturday.
Mr. Anyene said the Nigerians were displaced at
Jeppes Town, near Johannesburg.
“We met about 300 Nigerians in Jeppes town,
near Johannesburg, who fled for their safety and
about 50 of them do not have any place to stay.
“We are making arrangements with the Nigerian
mission in South Africa to get them a place to
stay for their safety.
“The Nigerian union has also presented relief
materials to those affected by the attacks and
we are in touch with various branch chapters of
the union in the provinces on their safety and
security,’’ he said.
According to him, Nigerian shops and businesses
in Durban and Johannesburg have been looted
and some burnt.
He said that two shops belonging to Nigerians in
Durban were looted and they lost goods worth
400,000 Rand.
“In Jeppes Town, near Johannesburg, five shops
were looted and one burnt while the estimated
loss is put at One million Rand.
“The incidents have been reported to the police
and we are still taking stock of attacks on
Nigerians,’’ he said.
Mr. Anyene reiterated the union’s call to the
Federal Government to put more pressure on the
South African government to halt the attacks.
The Nigerian foreign minister had however
claimed on Thursday that Nigerians had so far
not been attacked, saying it would only evacuate
Nigerians only if the situation gets worse.
“With the discussions I have been having with
Nigeria’s Head of Mission in Pretoria, no Nigeria​
n has so far been affected,” the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Aminu Wali said Thursday in
Abuja.​
”They informed me that they have called the
Nigerian community and addressed them and
told them to close their shops, stay home and
keep out of trouble and obey the laws of South
Africa.
“They have also confirmed that the South African
authority has moved in to take actions that would
forestall any further disturbance in South Africa,”
Mr. Wali said. Mr. Wali said it will move to
evacuate Nigerian citizens if the xenophobic
attacks get worse.
“If it gets worse it is the duty of our country to
make sure our people are brought back, and we
are taking that duty serious.
”We are not prepared to allow any of our
nationals to be subjected to such inhuman
treatment.
“We are monitoring the situation and will now
take action according to the situation that
develops,” he said.
Xenophobia in South Africa dates back to 1994
and are mainly targeted at citizens of other
African Countries.
In May 2008 a series of xenophobic attack left 62
people dead.
In the current attack, at least five people have
been killed and hundreds forced to flee their
homes in one of South Africa’s worst outbreaks
of xenophobic violence in years.

soulhighman:
You are so on point and he forgot that if this courses are based on employment opportunities, then he shouldn't have put the marketing/business management there cos even engineers and other science grads compete with these people for jobs as in the same position as graduate trainee in the same companies so far the person can deliver. We have seen engineers become bank managers. Even Zoologists. In short, in my own opinion, ICT should be number one, medicine number two, while engineering should be number three, then others can follow.Though some courses there should not make the list if it is based on job opportunities.

yes bro, before you call a course a HOT CAKE,it should simply be based on the Availability of its job ,Just like you said, ICT should come first

South African President Jacob Zuma has visited a
refugee camp in the port of Durban after a fresh
outbreak of anti-foreigner violence.
Mr Zuma told those who had fled the violence that it
went against South African values and he would
bring it to an end.
But he was jeered by some in the crowd who
accused him of acting too slowly.
At least six people have died in xenophobic attacks
in Durban, with violence spreading to other areas.
Migrants, mostly from other African states and
Asia, have moved to South Africa in large numbers
since white-minority rule ended in 1994.
Many South Africans accuse them of taking jobs in
a country where the unemployment rate is 24%.
Mugabe 'disgust'
In a statement, Mr Zuma said: "These attacks go
against everything we believe in. The majority of
South Africans love peace and good relations with
their brothers and sisters in the continent."
Then as he visited the refugee camp in the
Chatsworth area of Durban - after cancelling a trip
to Indonesia - Mr Zuma said in a televised speech:
"We are certainly going to stop the violence.
Addressing migrants who were planning to return to
their home countries, he said: "Those who want to
go home, when the violence stops you are
welcome to return."
Mr Zuma said it was a minority that was causing
trouble but the BBC's Southern Africa
correspondent, Karen Allen, says he was heckled
by some in the crowd who branded his visit as too
little, too late, adding that they were planning to
leave South Africa altogether.
During the anti immigration violence in the past
fortnight, police have arrested 150 people for
public-order related offences.
Several thousand foreigners have fled their homes
to shelter in makeshift camps, and neighbouring
Zimbabwe, Malawi and Mozambique have
announced plans to evacuate citizens.
On Saturday, Zimbabwean President Robert
Mugabe, speaking as chair of both the Southern
African Development Community and African Union,
said: "I would want now to express our sense of
shock, disgust, as we abhor the incidences which
happened in Durban."
Violence had continued overnight, with small groups
attacking shops in several areas around
Johannesburg.
Police used rubber bullets to disperse looters in
Alexandra, a township north of the city, with more
than 30 people arrested.
Zulu King Goodwill Zwelithini has been accused of
fuelling the attacks by saying that foreigners should
"go back to their countries". However, he says his
comments were distorted.
Official data suggests there are about two million
foreign nationals in South Africa, about 4% of the
total population. But some estimates put the number
of immigrants at five million.

There are indications that the All Progressives
Congress is uncomfortable with the May 28
handover date proposed by the out-going
administration.
According to Saturday PUNCH, their
investigations revealed that the outgoing
President Goodluck Jonathan and the President-
elect, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.) are set to
clash over a proposal by the Jonathan team to
hand over the mantle of leadership to Buhari on
May the 28th, instead of the 29th.
The Buhari team was already over what they
considered as an act of ill-will laced with sinister
motives.
This is sequel to an announcement by the
Minister of Information, Senator Patricia
Akwashiki, that President Jonathan would
perform the handover ceremony at a dinner on
May 28.
Akwashiki made the announcement after
Wednesday’s Federal Executive Council meeting.
She told journalists:
“By May 28, the President intends to have the
formal handover done at a dinner so that we can
reserve May 29 for the incoming government.”
However, since the return of democracy in 1999,
the traditional date for the handover of power
has been May 29, which is also observed as
Democracy Day.
This tradition has been the vogue for the past 16
years. It also presents an opportunity for the
outgoing President to formally present the
instrument of authority to his successor in the
full glare of members of the public, local and
international media, as well as foreign dignitaries.
A top member of the All Progressives Congress,
who spoke on condition of anonymity because he
was not authorised to speak to the media said,
“It is simply not acceptable, we are rejecting it, it
is a trap.”
He explained that from a security point of view, it
could be considered a trap.
“How can anyone explain a situation where an
outgoing president and his team will
conveniently excuse themselves from an event
where they are supposed to play a role when the
President-elect and the Vice-President- elect
are supposed to be present?” he queried.
According to the party chieftain, power abhors a
vacuum as such, the constitution does not
envisage a situation where Nigeria will be
without a sitting President even for one hour.
He said:
“If Jonathan hands over on the 28th, who
accounts for the hours before the morning of the
29th when the Chief Justice of the Federation is
to administer the oath of office and the oath of
allegiance?
What if there is even a sinister motive to this
whole saga? As the President of the nation; who
will still be the Chief Security officer until he
hands over, there is no excuse that is strong
enough to excuse him from the event.”
When contacted, a member of the Buhari
campaign team, Mr. Rotimi Fashakin, said while
he was not privy to any meeting on the subject
yet, it was only logical to ask Nigerians not to
rest on their oars until total liberation was
achieved.
He described the announcement by President
Jonathan to hand over a day earlier than was
due as a ploy to rubbish the gains made with the
historic win by the opposition APC.
Fashakin said:
“It (the proposed handover on the 28th)
portends ill for the political destiny of this nation.
That statement is loaded and it shows that the
Nigerian people should not rest yet that there is
still ominous signs which we should never take
for granted. If Jonathan truly said he is handing
over on the 28th it presupposes that he will be
absent on the 29th.
Number one, if he hands over on the 28th to the
President-elect, does Gen. Muhammadu Buhari
start to act effectively on that date? The answer
is an emphatic NO. GMB does not start to act on
that date, if you get what I mean. Handing over
to GMB on that date is not only meaningless, it is
stupid. It has no meaning in law, or reality. It
means that for 24 hours before GMB takes over
there will be a vacuum.”
He further argued that on the side of morality,
Nigeria borrowed its constitution substantially
from the American Constitution, and as such, it
should learn a thing or two about how it
operates.
He said there was never a time in recorded
history where an outgoing American President,
who is hale and hearty, will absent himself from
the handover ceremony of his successor no
matter their political differences.
Although, it is not yet clear how the Buhari team
would handle “this threat,” it was learnt that the
party’s legal team is being put on notice to be on
the alert.
It was also gathered that the President-elect and
his team have kept the issue of ministerial
appointments in abeyance.
A member of the party’s National Working
Committee, who pleaded for anonymity because
he was not authorised to speak to the media,
said,
“The general is a meticulous person and we all
know that the main task before us now is the
transition committee. The issue of who will be
minister has been kept in abeyance.”
When contacted to speak on the president-
elect’s views on the handover date and
appointments, the APC National Publicity
Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said,
“You will get our reaction later after due
consultation.”
Attempts to speak with the Minister of
Information proved abortive. She was not in the
office when PUNCH visited. However, the
Personal Assistant to the Minister on Media, Mr.
Joseph Mutah, promised to get in touch with her
and revert to their correspondent.
He had yet to do that as of the time of going to
the press and when his mobile number was
called, he did not pick the call.
The Information Minister had also after the FEC
meeting said the President had directed all
Ministries, Departments and Agencies to prepare
their handover notes and submit them to the
Secretary to the Government of the Federation,
Pius Anyim, on or before Monday.
According to her, it is Anyim’s responsibility to
compile the notes, which will form Jonathan’s
handover document to Buhari on May 28.
She had said:
“You know May 29 is our Democracy Day. So,
we have activities lined up all through that week,
showcasing all what we have achieved and all
other things we do normally on our Democracy
Day except that this year is special with the
inauguration of our new President that is coming
up on May 29.”
The minister said the valedictory FEC meeting
would hold on May 20, adding that everything that
required the President’s approval must have
been presented to him by May 13.
Meanwhile, two Senior Advocates of Nigeria,
Sebastian Hon and Joseph Nwobike, on Friday,
disagreed on the appropriateness of President
Goodluck Jonathan’s decision to hand over on
May 28 instead of May 29 when his four-year
tenure will statutorily end.
The two lawyers spoke with one of PUNCH's
correspondents in separate telephone
interviews.
Hon insisted that the best option was for the
President to hand over on May 29 as past
presidents had done.
But Nwobike said nothing was unconstitutional in
the president’s decision as handing over is a
process that would end with the inauguration of
the incoming president on May 29.
Nwobike said:
“Handing over is a process and not an event. So
the paper work will be done on May 28 and the
formalisation and the completion will occur on
May 29. So there is clearly nothing
unconstitutional about it.”
But Hon queried the basis for the President’s
plan to hand over on May 28 as doing such on
May 29 as it is usually done would not affect the
nation’s democracy.
He said:
“The best and the most appropriate thing to do is
for President Jonathan to hand over at 12.01am
of the morning of May 29, 2015.
If he hands over before May 29, it means he is
no longer the president. He should hand over by
12.01am of May 29 or do as the usual practice
by 7am in the past. It will not be late if it is done
by 7am on the morning of May 29.
Remember that all former presidents took over
on the morning of May 29. If he does that,
nobody will query him and the transition will not
be truncated.”

ALKARULEZZ:
some ICT certifications are better than B.Sc (Computer Science)

certifications like?

ALKARULEZZ:
lol.. Even without a university education, you can acquire myriads of computer skills....... So its not necessary you attend a university for all those ICT courses.. You can acquire them from different ICT-based institutes (e.g. NIIT)

We are talking bout a degree here

imsuboi:

Yeah. And I think Medicine and Surgery should be number one there. While computer science should be among the top 3

exactly,this list really sucks.
