What a pity. These people would only end up harming PDP chances by splitting their votes.

http://punchng.com/court-urged-to-nullify-tenure-extension-for-odigie-oyegun-others/



March 3, 2018

A member of the All Progressives Congress in Imo State, Mr. Okere Uzochukwu, on Friday, filed a suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja challenging the extension of the tenure of members of the National Working Committee of the party by one year.

The tenure of the leadership of the party at the state, local government and ward levels was also extended by one year, according to the decision taken by the National Executive Committee of the party on February 27, 2018.



Uzochukwu, who said he was an aspirant to the state chairmanship position of the party in Imo State, contended in the suit marked, FHC/ABJ/CS/219/2018, that the tenure extension was undemocratic and violated the provisions of the constitution, the Electoral Act and the constitution of the APC.

He sued the APC and the Independent National Electoral Commission as the first and second respondents.

Uzochukwu argued through his lawyer, Mr. Nnamdi Okere, that the extension of the tenure of the officials of the party at various levels was “the primary function and responsibility of the national convention” by virtue of the provisions of Article 13 and 13 (3) (ii) of the constitution of the APC 2014 (as amended).

He, therefore, stressed that the tenure extension was unconstitutional and undemocratic since the national convention did not hold.

The plaintiff urged the court to hold that the tenure extension for the NWC, the state working committees as well as the local government and ward executive committees of the party commencing from June 2018 to June 2019 “is illegal, unconstitutional, null and void and of no effect.”

He urged the court to compel the incumbent John Odigie-Oyegun-led NWC and others to vacate their respective offices with effect from June 1, 2018, when they would have completed their four years tenure.

Meanwhile, the plaintiff also sought an order compelling INEC “to reject, cease to recognise and stop dealing with or having official communications with the Odigie-Oyegun-led National Working Committee” and others effective from effective from June 1, 2018, “for having spent the constitutionally allowed tenure of office.”

He sought an order declaring that he, as a registered and card-carrying member of the party, “has been denied the right to aspire and contest the Imo State Chairmanship of the All Progressives Congress, a position he is aspiring and canvassing for and has spent enormous resources, to warrant and justify the extant action.”

Hahahaha!

Nor be only alter ego, na alter owo abi alter kudi or alter igho.

So any reasonable non-Zombie is areafada2 in disguise. Very honoured to be associated with avid non-zombie-ism.

No point denying it because it is an open secret bro. Like I said, it doesn't fit you. Take it easy.

CROWNWEALTH019:
Politically Tinubu is finished. After he used his first son to upgrade. Its so foolish of him to think the north will betray their own for his greedy thirst. grin

He sold the whole Yoruba race just to be come relevant but now my kinsman Oyegun they show am pepper


I think say them say him be god of politics and he got wisdom , he's as stupid as a donkey to have accepted the offer from that cow in aso rock


@Donsmith123, truth be told Tinubu is a greedy fool. He's not after change but looking for how to have influence in government. He installed osinbajo but they pocketed that short man and now he's busy going errands. Same Tinubu that buhari was going to his house before 2015 election to pay homage. He saw the signs and he should have taken a low bow. If he dares misbehave he's going to lose Lagos. Osun state is a no go area for him cause Aregbe go like be jagaban of that state. He should be ready for the shock of his life then.

AreaFada2, this your alter ego no fit you. Take it easy.

This may be a strong indication that he is about to leave the APC. Recall that Atiku was also conspicuously absent at the last caucus meeting late last year.

laydoh:
u see ur lyf inside lagoon,did i even mention yoruba.y r u beating arwnd d bush and giving yourself headache when you knw d truth,do u guys even go to school,no be business u cherish most 4 ur lyf?moreso i dnt have to proof myself to you,coz its meaningless to u guys.btw gimme proof dat u guys do go to school.google is ur friend my broda,or shud i teach u how to search on google also?pls knw d facts b4 spewing sh!t nxt time.

Lol. You just said the truth. No matter the amount of book an igbo man reads, he will still end up in the market trading. It is in their blood. Not that it is a bad thing anyway.

It's way too late for Buhari cabal to do anything to Saraki senate presidency. Too late. The presidency had its chance to stall his emergence but Buhari himself chose to be a weakling, until Saraki became a bone stuck in the APC's own throat. Saraki knows that there is 'no shaking' because the PDP which he owes his survival to have the numbers and motivation to keep him in that seat. I foresee Saraki decamping to PDP in the coming months. Buhari is the real cause of the crises in the party. Saraki is going nowhere.

The way PDP and ipob supporters hate Tinubu eh, you would think he is actually the president of the country. All because of his role in sacking Jonathan and PDP from power. Na wah.

Okoyeebos:
Tinubu was sent on a fool's errand but he's going about it very intelligently.

Tinubu is not going round to reconcile anyone but going around looking for scapegoats to heap the blame on. The scapegoats would be the ones to sabotage the APC from inside.

Buhari can not cause fight everywhere and expect others to help him. They've spoon-fed him enough.

I think you are correct. Buhari himself is the major cause of the division within the party, which started as a ploy to check the same Tinubu's influence. Tinubu cannot perform any magic at this point because the divisions have become too entrenched. To make matters worse, Oyegun has not been happy about the so-called assignment because he sees it as an indictment on his leadership failures. Buhari himself is to blame.

If this reconciliation effort of tinubu fails Apc is a goner.

I support buhari because i despise the hell out of you fuckers and that shithole you call a country. I want to see it burn somemore!!!!!!!! And I bet you and you can quote me on this anyday, every igbo that supports Buhari now does so because we want to see y'all BURN more!!!! And yes that's how much we hate your shithole.

You can only thump your flat chest amongst your fellow iPigs because the average person knows you pigs have had enough of the sufferings hence your decision to vote Buhari come 2019 to perhaps elevate yourselves from your third class citizens status. Shameless morafockas.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2018/02/lagos-arrests-psp-operators-dumping-waste-main-streets/

https://17350-presscdn-0-16-pagely.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/PSP-e1519138213108.jpg

The Lagos State Government has arrested four officials of a Private Sector Participant (PSP) operator in waste management, Ayomide Olayinka Ventures, for dumping waste on the street along the Central Business District (CBD) of Lagos Island in the middle of the night.

The suspects were arrested by security operatives in the early hours of Tuesday while using their compactor with registration number FST 908 XG to dump refuse on the street.

They included driver of the compactor, Oloruntele Adekunle and three others. The company was said to have its office at No 1A, Kudirat Abiola Way, Old Oregun Road, Ikeja.

The latest arrest brought the number of PSP operators arrested for similar offence in the last one week to five, while hundreds of cart pushers and wheel barrow operators had equally been arrested for dumping waste in public places and canals in various parts of the State.

The State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Kehinde Bamigbetan, in a statement, said the arrest was a clear confirmation of the suspicion of government that the new environmental waste management policy encapsulated in the Cleaner Lagos Initiative (CLI) was being sabotaged by vested interests.

He said: “A PSP operator was caught along Lagos Island Central Business District discharging refuse on the street. He was arrested by security operatives in the middle of the night which shows the institutional corruption that has been lingering in the sector which the State Government intends to fight with the reforms put in place.

“The arrest of the PSP operator is a clear example of the deliberate efforts to sabotage what the State Government is doing. The PSP operators are not being driven out of their businesses with the reforms as they are making the public to believe.

“Under CLI, the government has made provision for the PSP operators to handle collection of commercial waste and there are over 15,000 companies in Lagos that can serve the over 200 PSP operators in the State. So far, the CLI has been able to get over 50,000 new employees out of the labour market

“The government has also stressed itself by getting N2.5billion loan to enable the PSP operators buy equipment to be more competitive. These are the things they can key into than blackmailing government. The whole idea is to build local capacity in order to employ more of our unemployed youth,” Bamigbetan said.

He said the PSP operator arrested last week in Mushin area of the State had already been charged to court with the case adjourned to February 26, while the latest suspect would be paraded during the week by the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), and subsequently charged to court.

He said it was unfortunate that some PSP operators were allowing vested interests to use them to blackmail government into abandoning the reforms designed to revolutionize waste management in the State in line with global best practices, and that it would not succumb to such blackmail.

“The PSP operators are being used by those fighting against the reforms the government is putting in place. The Cleaner Lagos Initiative is part of the measures to fight institutional corruption in the system which the government is determined to eradicate.

“The government will not be blackmailed into abandoning the right thing for the people. Overtime, the Lagos State Government has carried out reforms in the Police Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA), Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LATSMA), among others and the State Government is committed to ensuring that the corruption in the waste management system is stamped out.

“Any PSP operator henceforth caught will be dealt with using the full weight of the law. No government will fold its arms and allow few vested interests whose interests are inimical to the majority of the people and aimed at sabotaging government’s policies and programmes to have a field day,” Bamigbetan said.

He urged residents to exercise a little more patience as the current challenges with waste disposal would soon be over, just as he advised the PSP operators to support government by embracing the new initiative.

“We like to appeal to Lagosians to give the government a chance and they will see the results of the new initiative which, ultimately, will make the State cleaner, safer and more prosperous. We also urge PSP operators to cooperate with the new initiative in the overall interest of the peace loving people of the State,” the Commissioner said.

Meanwhile, the State Government has paraded four cart pushers – Yusuf Saheed, Abubakar Lawal, Bashiru Umar and Amira Abdul, who were arrested in Moshalasi Alhaja in Agege area of the State for dumping refuse in unauthorised spots.

Commissioner for the Environment, Dr. Babatunde Durosinmi-Etti who briefed journalists at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, said the suspects would be charged to court, just as he reiterated the call on residents to desist from patronizing illegal waste managers.

He also disclosed that commercial operations of the CLI would commence fully from March 1.

Mynd44, Lalasticlala

Smh. All this Igbo hatred for Tinubu will not give them their Biafra. Just saying.

.

It looks like APC may end up denying Dino a return ticket to the Senate under the party platform. He and saraki may eventually return to PDP with the way things are going.

Yeah, right. That means they must be feeding them Chinese fried rice & chicken with chilled wine daily be dat. How many Nigerians walking freely spend that much to feed weekly sef, not to talk of daily?? They might as well lockup the rest of the population so they can get their share of the 14k daily.

Really?? Yet that Kogi governor and his Ebonyi counterpart are doing eye-service by dashing your Fulani brothers land as grazing reserve?

If truly he was served and refused to show up, then he deserves to be arrested. No one should be above the law.

Amosun should get his face out of Buhari's anus for once and do something to protect his people!!! This is getting out of hand. For how long will he continue to form deaf and dumb.

Omololu2121:
even though some of the governors from the south west are not talking about this cattle colony nonsense, most of them are not in support if it.

Buhari it's free to create cattle colonies in sokoto,katstina,zamfara if he likes

It will be very nice to hear Amosun denounce the idea publicly as well, maybe that will send a message to the herdsmen causing havoc in the state of late. Last month alone at least three attacks have happened in the state without a statement or reaction from the governor.

And Ajimobi is supposedly the closest SW governor to Buhari.

No. That title will go to Governor Ibikunle Amosun. You will hardly hear Amosun criticize any Buhari policy publicly.

It is even worse in some states. And yet we expect to develop? Smh. Too much money is spent paying idle civil servants and ghost workers with the little leftover used to tar a few roads.
