Politics / Kogi Governor, Ododo May Be Investigated For Aiding Bello’s Escape – EFCC by Wisdomkosi(m): 9:30am |
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, has shed more light on its efforts to bring a Former Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, to face the law over alleged N80 Billion Fraud. Speaking on Bello’s reported escape from arrest, the chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Ola Olukoyede, speaking to journalists on Tuesday, hinted that the current Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo may be investigated for aiding Bello escape arrest. In his words: “I called Yahaya Bello, as a serving governor, to come to my office to clear himself. I shouldn’t have done that. But he said because a certain senator had planted over 100 journalists in my office, he would not come.” “I told him that he would be allowed to use my private gate to give him a cover, but he said my men should come to his village to interrogate him.” The anti-graft commission also shed light on the events that occurred when they tried to arrest bello at his Residence in Abuja some days ago. “We would have gone after him since January but we waited for the court order. As early as 7 am, my men were there; over 50 of them. They mounted surveillance.” “We met over 30 armed policemen there. We would have exchanged fire and there would have been casualties.” “My men were about to move in when the governor of Kogi drove in and they later changed the narrative.” He added that everyone that had a hand in aiding bello evade arrest will be brought to book.

Politics / Why Yahaya Bello Can’t Escape EFCC Arrest, Prosecution – Femi Falana Opens Up by Wisdomkosi(m): 7:34am On Apr 18 |
Popular human rights attorney Femi Falana, SAN, has criticized a court decision stopping the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) from arresting and prosecuting former Kogi Governor Yahaya Bello. Falana argued that the legal basis for the court’s ruling is flawed and opposes established legal precedents. In his remarks, Falana referenced Section 35(1)(c) of the Nigerian Constitution, which he stated allows law enforcement agencies, including the police and anti-graft bodies, to arrest a suspect when there is reasonable suspicion of a criminal offense. He emphasized that a High Court’s order should not impede another court of the same level from proceeding with a trial. “By virtue of section 35(1) (c) of the Constitution, the police, anti-graft agencies, and other prosecutorial bodies cannot be prevented by a court of law from arresting a criminal suspect once there is reasonable suspicion that he or she has committed a criminal offence.” “The Supreme Court had pointed out that the order of a High Court to the effect that a criminal suspect should not be arrested cannot bar a court of coordinate jurisdiction from trying him.” “In the case of Orji Kalu v Federal Republic of Nigeria (2016) 39 WRN 53, the Appellant challenged the EFCC for charging him before the Federal High Court in spite of the order of the High Court of Abia State restraining the anti-graft agency from violating his fundamental right to personal liberty.” Source : https://politicsnigeria.com/why-yahaya-bello-cant-escape-efcc-arrest-prosecution-femi-falana-opens-up/

Politics / El-rufai Becomes Political Orphan In Kaduna As APC Backs Probe Of Ex-governor by Wisdomkosi(m): 7:25am On Apr 18 |
The Kaduna State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) have thrown their weight behind the move by the state’s House of Assembly to probe the financial activities, particularly loans obtained by the administration of former Governor Nasir El-Rufai. Kaduna APC Publicity Secretary Salisu Wusono welcomed the probe, describing it as a positive step towards clarifying the financial situation inherited by the incumbent government. Wusono emphasized the party’s commitment to the rule of law and the welfare of Kaduna State residents, highlighting the need for transparency and accountability in governance. “Despite the huge debt burden of $587m, N85bn, and 115 Contractual Liabilities sadly inherited from the previous administration, we remain resolute in steering Kaduna State towards progress and sustainable development. “We have conducted a thorough assessment of our situation and are sharpening our focus accordingly,” he told Punch. Similarly, the Kaduna State chapter of the NLC voiced support for the investigation, urging the Assembly to delve into unpaid severance packages for over 32,000 workers sacked during El-Rufai’s tenure. NLC Chairman Ayuba Suleiman underscored the importance of addressing workers’ welfare and adherence to labour laws, advocating for a thorough examination of the circumstances surrounding the mass layoffs. During a special session presided over by Speaker Alhaji Yusuf Liman, the Assembly unanimously resolved to establish a fact-finding committee to investigate the loans and financial transactions of the past administration. The motion, moved by Yusuf Mugu, representing the Kaura constituency, highlighted the importance of transparency and accountability in public finance management Source : https://politicsnigeria.com/el-rufai-becomes-political-orphan-in-kaduna-as-apc-backs-probe-of-ex-governors-administration/

Celebrities / Kwankwaso Preparing Grounds For His Son To Be Kano Governor In 2031” by Wisdomkosi(m): 8:22am On Apr 11 |
“Kwankwaso preparing grounds for his son to be Kano governor in 2031” – Political scholar A political scholar in Kano has alleged that the former governor of the state, Rabiu Kwankwaso, wants to install his son as the next governor in 2031. The scholar who spoke anonymously to Daily Sun said Kwankwaso is already building his political dynasty. Kwankwaso’s son, Mustapha, was recently appointed as a commissioner by Governor Abba Yusuf. His words: “We must not ignore the fact that this is the early days in an attempt to control power by a single family or associates of the same political group. “It is an open secret that Kwankwaso is very influential in the present administration. He has been pivotal to its conception, electoral victory, appointments, policy selection and policy implementation. “It is also incontestable that Kwankwaso is closely related to the state governor by marriage. The governor is his in-law. The political permutation is that Mustapha will be nursed in the act of governance and will come of age by 2031. By this time, he will be 47. “With the Kwankwaso that we know, chances are high that he will ensure that Mustapha, his son, succeeds the present arrangement or becomes the running mate to the governorship candidate of the party in the general elections. “Should that happen, it means that the governance of the state would have resided within the same clan or family for about 16 years or more, and will remain there for a longer time, depending on how Mustapha plays his cards in the years to come. “But, like I said, these are all potential possibilities. They are not yet realities. The future, especially in politics, is often bounded by uncertainties. Anything can still happen to change these calculations.” Born on March 24, 1984, in Kwankwaso village in Madobi Local Government Area of the state, where he completed his primary and secondary school education, Mustapha completed his post-secondary education at the Eastern Mediterranean University in Cyprus.

Politics / Suspended Minister Betta Edu Threatens BBC With $50 Million Defamation Lawsuit by Wisdomkosi(m): 3:46pm On Apr 10 |
Betta Edu, the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation, has issued a stern warning to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), threatening legal action for alleged defamation. In a letter signed by her counsel, Chikaosolu Ojukwu, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Edu demanded a whopping $50 million in compensation from the renowned media organization. The letter, directed to both BBC’s Abuja and London offices, accuses the BBC of disseminating false information regarding an ongoing Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) investigation, alleging that N30 billion was recovered from the suspended minister. According to the lawyer, the BBC’s publication has inflicted immeasurable reputational damage, psychological trauma, and anguish upon Edu. The letter criticizes the BBC for its article, asserting that it implies guilt on Edu’s part without affording her the presumption of innocence. Furthermore, the letter lambasts the BBC for breaching journalistic fairness and due process by failing to provide Edu with an opportunity to respond to the allegations before publishing the article. “For the avoidance of doubt, our client has neither been indicted nor found culpable of any act of financial impropriety in relation to her stewardship of the Humanitarian Affairs and Poverty Alleviation Ministry in Nigeria. “It is also pertinent to emphasize that neither N30 billion nor any amount whatsoever has been traced to or recovered from our client’s bank accounts nor has any proceeds of crime been traced or recovered from her to warrant the scurrilous article under reference. “Suffice it to say that in the aftermath of the publication of this scandalous article (which the BBC caused to be disseminated to millions of persons across the globe), our client has been inundated by calls and messages from friends, associates expressing their shock and consternation. “Our client has suffered immeasurable reputational damage, psychological trauma and anguish as a direct consequence of the publication and dissemination of the article,” parts of the letter read.

Politics / I Haven't Received Any Invitation From Ebonyi Governor - Author Of Igbo Fiziksi by Wisdomkosi(m): 8:31am On Apr 10 |
I Haven't Received Any Invitation From Ebonyi Governor, Nwifuru - Author Of Igbo Fiziksi | #IgbereTV By Wisdom Nwedene A Nigerian writer and the author of first Igbo Fiziksi, Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro has revealed that he is yet to receive any invitation from Ebonyi State Governor, Francis Nwifuru. Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro who hails from Ebonyi State has received accolades from Nigerians and beyond for being the first person in Nigeria to translate Physics textbook to one of the local languages, (Igbo). Many Nigerians have been agitating that Ebonyi State Governor, Nwifuru should extend a hand of recognition to him in order to encourage and boost the educational sector in the State. A journalist in Ebonyi State, Wisdom Nwedene had demanded Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro should be invited by the Governor. He said, "I like how Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu keeps identifying with the Youth and equally encouraging them to do more. He gifted the lady who drove from London - Lagos a brand new car and a house. He equally welcomed a young Nigerian man, Coach Dreh who swum across 11.8 kilometres-long water of the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos, to raise awareness on mental health." "What about our own from Ebonyi State, Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro II who wrote the first Fiziksi textbook? Any recognition yet? How can we boost the confidence of the youth in education if we don't appreciate a young man who went extra mile to translate the Physics Textbook to Igbo Language?." "Ebonyi shouldn't only be good in throwing Birthday parties." "We need to do more!." Another writer from Ebonyi State, Friday Mbam also demanded that Maazi should be recognised by the Government. According to him, "While the Governor of Ebonyi State, Rt. Hon. Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, is trying to put back the state on the map, there's one aspect that seems to have been forgotten. In a state like Lagos, if a youth breaks ground in a particular area, the Governor quickly recognizes the individual. That way, more youths are encouraged to break more ground in other walks of life." "A month or two ago, a young Ebonyian , Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro, set a new record by writing a physics textbook in Igbo Language. That is a huge achievement, one that should have attracted the attention of our amiable Governor, but to this day, nothing has been said about the young man's achievement, apart from the social media hyping that accompanied it." "If young Ebonyians are not encouraged or recognized each time they achieve a feat, others may see no need to recognize us. Giving a political position is not a way of encouraging young people to realise their full potential. Those who are close to the corridors of power in Ebonyi State should, perhaps, draw our Governor's attention to that." Shortly after the post was made, the Special Assistant to the Governor on New Media, Mr Leo Oketa said Maazi has been invited by the Governor, a claim which the author has denounced. According to Leo Oketa," The Governor has taken notice of this beautiful development and has sent for him." When contacted, Maazi Ogbonnaya Okoro said the Ebonyi State has not invited him. "That's not true, nobody sent any invitation," Maazi said. Source : https://igberetvnews.com/1465078/havent-received-invitation-ebonyi-governor-nwifuru-author-igbo-fiziksi/
