From I heanacho Nwosu, Abuja The South-East caucus of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the House of Representatives yesterday frowned at claims that it is not qualified to hold principal officers’ positions. [b]The caucus in a release titled: “Response by the South-East Caucus of the House of Representatives to a statement by the so-called APC Loyalist Group,” said it is in support of the stand of the Speaker, Hon Yakubu Dogara, that the principal officers positions should be shared among the six geo-political zones. The response was anchored by Hon Austen Chukwukere (APC,Imo) . According to the lawmakers, “our attention has once again been drawn to a statement issued on July 20, 2015 by Hon Nasiru Sani Zangon-Daura, on behalf of a non-existing ‘APC Loyalist Group’ in the House of Representatives. “We are making this response because the statement referred to above has singled out the South-East Zone for special treatment and marginalization. That is why we consider it necessary, once again to restate the relevant facts and correct obvious and intentional distortion of facts and truth.” The APC South-East caucus maintains “for the avoidance of doubt, we make the following submissions and clarifications. The APC South-East Zonal Caucus aligns itself completely to the position of the Hon Speaker, House of Representatives, Rt. Hon. Dogara Yakubu’s letter to the National Chairman of the APC on the issue of election of the principal officers of the House. The July 20 statement by the so-called Loyalist Group is full of distortions, mis-statements, deliberate mischief, exhibition of ignorance of the law, practices and precedents of the House, and in some instances outright falsehood. “The claim that South-East APC members are not qualified to hold principal officer position in the House on the basis of the provisions of Standing Rules of the House, Order 7 Rule 37 which state that ‘only members with cognate legislative experience as members of the National Assembly shall be eligible for appointment as principal officers.” has been comprehensively debunked elsewhere but bears repeating thus: “The argument that the South-East zone produced only two “new” members, who do not have cognate legislative experience and therefore not entitled to be represented in the principal officer’s cadre of the House is most inaccurate and unfortunate.[/b] http://sunnewsonline.com/new/seast-caucus-backs-dogara-on-sharing-of-principal-offices/Lalasticlala...Ishilove...Obinoscopy...Seun...mods...supermods... thanks |

naijainfogalery: The truth is looking at what's on ground right now, there is no standard and the level of corruption is high u need some sanity first before appointing ministers. The truth remains Nigeria will function well without ministers , ask yourself how many ministers were working during GEJ tenure may be just 5 or less the real people working at the permanent sec . ministers no over see and Advice but we all know past ministers are just politicians who knows nothing about the job, so what difference does it make? 1)I gave you a quote by an international researcher who's not PDP or APC or whatever and you still spew this statement here...sorry for you... 2)Which ministry was not functioning under Jonathan with no ministers probably? 3)What sanity is buhari putting now?...list them alongside ministries were such are obtained... 4)Are ministers supposed to be what?...Aren't they people who share in the vision and ideology of president including party politics?... 5)And what makes you think that politicians are nonentities? |

“On hold” is how many Nigerians would describe how West Africa’s most-populous country of 178 million people currently feels. It’s been more than 15 weeks since President Muhammadu Buhari, 72, won the March 28 presidential elections, but he is yet to appoint ministers. In fact, he says he will not form a cabinet before September.
The government is currently kept afloat by top civil officials, who can fulfil basic administrative duties but not make the key political decisions Buhari promised Nigerians when campaigning for office. The former military leader was elected based on his pledge to end corruption in politics and the oil industry – Nigeria’s main revenue earner – and stop Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram, which has killed an estimated 14,000 people since 2009. But weeks have gone by and little has happened. Big political decisions have been stalled, while a new surge of Boko Haram attacks killed more than 430 people this month alone. “At this stage, government is only functioning at about 25 per cent,” warns David Zounmenou, researcher at the African Institute for Security Studies. “Buhari needs to act quickly. He needs to assert his role.”The elation felt after Buhari’s election and inauguration on May 29 is slowly dissipating. Nigerians hoped a page would be turned in the country where corruption in politics and the economy is almost endemic. Without a cabinet “Buhari will not be able to make many necessary reforms to begin to deal with the many challenges facing his administration,” says Ernst Jan Hogendoorn, Africa deputy director of research organization International Crisis Group.
The longer ministerial posts remain vacant, the more politically vulnerable Nigeria will become. “As a worst-case scenario, Buhari might lose control over the country because other people will take the gap and move in,” says Zounmenou.The president says he is not in a hurry. “This task cannot and should not be rushed,” Buhari wrote in an op-ed published in the Washington Post on Monday, the day he met with US President Barack Obama.“Nigeria must first put new rules of conduct and good governance in place.” The delay is among other things caused by ministers of the previous government who didn’t provide handover notes as promised, Buhari had explained earlier,pointing fingers at his predecessor Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. Buhari also has to manage a fierce internal power struggle for the top positions in government, including the crucial economy, finance and defence portfolios, within his All Progressives Congress (APC), a coalition of what used to be the country’s three biggest opposition parties. “Buhari is trying to balance many competing interests,both within his coalition party and the different regions of Nigeria,” explains Hogendoorn. A transition committee is now carefully vetting all candidates for corruption before drawing up a shortlist. “Ministers will come when [Buhari] finishes scrubbing the floor which is littered with corruption,” presidential spokesman Garba Shehu told dpa. “There are too many leaks in the revenue system that must be plugged. He will not build on the rotten foundation [of Jonathan’s government].” The cause is noble, but analysts doubt the president will be able to reach this goal after decades of rampant corruption in Nigerian politics. “A clean record is an impossible mission. In Nigeria’s political arena, it’s extremely difficult to find someone with clean record. I would say it’s not even two per cent of politicians,” says Zounmenou of the security studies institute.
With each week going by without a fully functioning government, the pressure on Buhari to act is increasing.“I know [Nigerians] are impatient for action. I realize the world waits to see evidencenthat my administration will be different from all those that came before,” Buhari admits in the op-ed. “Yet reforming my country after so many years of abuse cannot be achieved overnight.” http://sunnewsonline.com/new/a-president-without-ministers-can-buhari-govern-nigeria/ |

Politics › Re: The Truth About Dasuki's Relationship With Buhari As Told By Yushau Shuaib by Whynotthetruth(m): 12:53am On Jul 23, 2015 |
SenseiX: When the erstwhile super Finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala compelled the termination of my appointment as a civil servant after serving my nation for nearly 20 years, I returned to my hobby of writing. My retirement, which I am still contesting in court, was because of a single article (Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Controversial Appointments) out of the over 200 I had written since my university days in Bayero University Kano.
Not only was I retired prematurely, many institutions and individuals in government became afraid of associating with me for fear of victimisation. I had been stigmatized as the “Rebel in Civil Service.”
Surprisingly, while many agencies of government and managements distanced themselves from me, I received massive goodwill from the media who not only stood by me but provided their platforms for my works.
Meanwhile few top public officers do secretly seek my professional advice in public relations management. There is an instance when one of the spokespersons in the Presidential Villa sought my intervention about a report on First Lady Patience Jonathan in Sahara Reporters, which was considered inaccurate. Since I am a beneficiary of media goodwill, I called Omoyele Sowore, the Publisher of Sahara Reporters to correct the erroneous aspect of the said report.
“Shuaibu, you are either crazy or unserious! Why do you want to defend those that tormented and sacked you from the public service?” Sowore was serious concerned.
I took time to explain that there is a major difference between my person ‘Shuaib’ a Nigerian who has right to his personal opinion and conviction and Shuaib who now represents a PR consultancy for professional attainment and contentment. I assured him that I will continue to express myself through opinion writing while engaging in media relations for my clients. Sowore accepted to publish the Presidency’s response on Patience Goodluck Jonathan and subsequent press statements from that office.
Curiously, there were very few top functionaries who stood by me and showed support during the critical period of my life. Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser (NSA) was one of them.
It was after attending a workshop organised by The Netherlands Embassy for security agencies where I presented a paper and also published an article (Debating Government Media Relations) that I received an invitation to meet with NSA. I wrote on that first encounter too with Dasuki: (Sambo Dasuki on Security Media Relations)
During our first encounter, I was furiously criticising everything about President Jonathan and his administration. Dasuki was very attentive, probably thinking that my bitterness was informed by my sudden exit from the service.
Dasuki attempted to influence my return into the service but I was reluctant. I had decided to rather work for government but not inside government so as to enjoy my liberty of self-expression and doing what I like rather than being another subservient civil servant. I nevertheless obliged his request that I should provide him daily media content analyses that should include suggestions and recommendations. I recruited highly brilliant, young but unemployed Nigerian graduates into my team.
[b]In the course of our occasional interactions, Dasuki was always open and transparent about information. He once told me how himself and two young military officers (they are still alive) travelled to Jos to brief Major General Buhari who was then the GOC of 3rd Armoured Division on the furtherance of the planning of the 1983 coup which made Buhari the major beneficiary of the ouster of the elected President Shehu Shagari. He even told me how Buhari expressed his bitterness about insinuations on his stewardship in one of the public institutions. Dasuki assured the then GOC not to worry about such reckless and mischievous insinuations.
I asked why he participated in the ouster of Buhari just less than two years afterward. He simply answered that General Buhari should know whom he should blame.
Probing further, I enquired how he treated Buhari on the day of the August 1985 coup. His exact response goes thus:
“I always respect and dignify my seniors and those in positions of authority whether in service or after. Though a young officer, I was reluctant to be among those that arrested him. And I was not. I only met him afterward at Bonny Camp with Lawal Rafindadi. There is no way I could have maltreated him as being alleged in some quarters. I am glad most of the actors are still alive.”
Dasuki told me the story of how himself and some others confronted late General Sani Abacha over June 12 election which was won by Chief Mashood Kashimawo Abiola (MKO). This led to their premature retirement. The persecution that followed forced him into exile where he teamed up with opposition elements struggling for the return of democracy in Nigeria.
Apart from serving as Managing Director of Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company (NSPMC) after the return of democracy, Dasuki had engaged in legitimate international businesses, mostly outside the country.
On his roles in politics, Sambo Dasuki narrated how he supported the campaign aspiration of Muhammadu Buhari for Presidential elections in 2003, 2007 and 2011. In fact, he mentioned names of individuals who were also privy to his active involvement including respected Northern elements like Adamu Adamu, Bashir Kurfi, Wada Maida, Sule Hamman and Kabir Yusuf among others.
The major shocker for me in his narratives was his campaign for Buhari to emerge the joint candidate of ACN and CPC in 2011. He disclosed how he pleaded with Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu in the presence of Bisi Akande to accept Muhammad Buhari as the joint Presidential candidate for ACN and CPC. Dasuki stated that he knelt down begging ‘Baba Bisi Akande’ who was then Chairman of ACN that “General Buhari is a man to be trusted.”
In their belief that Yorubas and South Westerners are never religious fanatics especially regarding politics, Dasuki and his group suggested that Tinubu should be a running mate to Buhari. When other elements opposed that proposition, Tinubu team therefore recommended a Buhari-Osinbajo ticket. Unfortunately, the ticket failed to stick as Pastor Tunde Bakare was eventually pushed forward by other forces.[/b]
Watch out for Part II: The Spymaster and Soft Approach to Countering Terrorism and Dasuki’s support for President Jonathan http://yashuaib.com/2015/07/sambo-dasuki-an-encounter-with-spymaster/ cc lalasticlala
On the day of the SSS invasion of Dasuki's home, Bashir Yusuf Chairman of PDM and close Buhari ally also mentioned the fact that Dasuki was a key member of the then CPC-ACN negotiations back in 2011 and he wondered why both men had fallen so spectacularly apart. All this points to one thing though, the investigation of Dasuki may border on vendetta relating to both the 1985 coup and him joining GEJ'S govt. Also this article confirms that Buhari was well aware of the plot to overthrow President Shagari back then and was always going to be the Head Of State contrary to the tales by APC fans in the run up to the March 28 elections. |
