n investigation by SaharaReporters has revealed
that a Nigerian private jet caught in
Johannesburg with $10 million belongs to
Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, the head of the Christian
Association of Nigeria (CAN). Mr. Oritsejafor is also a
close confidant of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Ayo Oritsejafor
The CAN leader’s private plane with US registration
number N808HG was one of two jets cited by South
African officials on September 5 Mr. Oritsejafor's jet
arrived South Africa with $9.3 million cash loaded in
several suitcases. News of the seizure of the cash
broke over the weekend, triggering questions about the
ownership of the jets and weapons they intended to
purchase.
Nigerian aviation authorities disclosed that one of the
jets belonged to Pastor Oritsejafor while the second one
was registered to Felix Idiga, the owner of Jafac
Aviation Limited.
Two Nigerians and an Israeli defense contractor, Eyal
Mesiaka arrived in the jet when they were accosted in
South Africa authorities. A South African source
disclosed that Mr. Oritsejafor's jet was released after
top Nigerian officials intervened, claiming that the
weapons to be purchased had the official blessing of
the Nigerian government. The jet arrived with two
plastic suitcases and two hand luggages with
combination locks only known to the Isreali contractor,
according to CityPress
Earlier today, SaharaReporters rang the mobile
telephone number of Mr. Idiga. At first, he pretended
and claimed that he was the Aide De camp to Mr.
Idiga. But when our correspondent identified himself as
a reporter from SaharaReporters, he owned he started
answering questions relating to the issues but claimed
the jet we published on our site wasn’t his own. Asked
if he knew of another private jet named in apparent
arms buy in South Africa, he asked where we got our
information after we read the jet registration number to
him. He then denied that his jet was involved, before
hastily hanging up the phone.

Between 1964 and 1965, French construction giant, Dumez, constructed the Niger Bridge, to link Onitsha and Asaba in present-day Anambra and Delta States respectively. It cost £5 million to build. Construction of the bridge was completed in December 1965. [ 1 ]During the Nigerian Civil War of 1967 - 1970, in an attempt to halt the Nigerian advance, retreating Biafran soldiers destroyed the River Niger Bridge at Onitsha, trapping the Nigerians on the other side of the river. After the war, the bridge was rehabilitated.

Zanna Bukar Mustapha, a legal practitioner who runs a
school for kids orphaned in the result of Boko Haram
activities, on Sunday, July 6, 2014, said the only way
to stop the Islamist from launching more mayhem in
the country is to involve clerics from Saudi Arabia.
Man claiming to be leader of Nigerian Islamist extremist
group Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, in video
screengrab, unknown location, Sept. 25, 2013.
Mustapha, who owns a Maiduguri-based foundation
called "The Future Prowess", made the revelation to
Sunday Trust. He revealed that the sect's leaders
belonged to the Salafi movement which has its
headquarters in the Islamic holy land.

Sambisa Forest
The lawyer who expressed doubt about the involvement
of the United States and other Western countries
towards putting an end to insurgency insisted that the
best way was to bring clerics from outside the country
who are of the same faith, who may have a better
understanding of the faith which Boko Haram believe in,
so that they can sit with them and dialogue.
He expressed optimism that these Saudi Arabian clerics
would definitely come up with ways of engaging the
sect, noting that not with arms but rather academically
as they poses more superior arguments in judgment, in
knowledge and in what the doctrine truly stands for.
"Muhammed Yusuf, (Abubakar) Shekau and all the rest
are of the Salafi movement. And when you talk of Salafi,
you have to go to Saudi Arabia to get them. When you
get them, you can find an international organization to
organize advanced contact that will bring the Salafis in
Saudi Arabia to go to the prisons and meet the
insurgents that are in the hands of the Federal
Government of Nigeria. By the time the insurgents get a
clear knowledge of what the Salafis stand for, you
release one, two or three of them to go down to the
leadership of the group.
"They can talk to the leadership and they would also
see the girls that are now in captivity. They would
therefore sit and discuss with their own people because
they are not afraid of other sect members. Thereafter,
they would come back to the government. From there,
you go to the second stage of swapping the girls with
the prisoners. They would tell you who and who they
want government to release, and government can decide
those to be released.
"That would also open another window of opportunity
for the peace process. But where you are carrying guns,
sending people to fight where they cannot even fight,
you are even creating a sort of a mutiny within the
military because there are fifth columnists within the
military who don't want the crisis to end.
"There is misunderstanding being imported into the
insurgency that we don't even know. But by the time
you engage in these measures, and put the processes in
order, all shall be well," Mustapha said.
TheCable reports that when Mustapha was asked why
his school has remained operational as well as the only
school that has not been attacked by the Islamist who
have been busy burning schools and killing students in
Maiduguri, which has led to the closing of most schools
in the area, the lawyer revealed that his school was not
picketed because he is trusted by the sect due to his
open mindedness.
Related: Why We Are Yet To Storm Sambisa Forest -
Defence Headquarters Reveals
"I have an Islamic foundation that caters for the well-
being of orphans which cuts across various divides and
that does not in any way exclude the insurgents' family
members, widowed and orphaned in the crises. Having
them is a leverage. As you know, we have the Future
Prowess widows who are part of the Parent Teachers
Association, which often guides the making of the
school curriculum.
"We had problems in the curriculum at the early stage of
the school when insurgents' wives complained of the
inclusion of western education in the curriculum. We
changed it to be 'conventional education' instead of
'western education' because when you say western in
Arabic, it means pagan (garbi)".
Meanwhile, Boko Haram onslaughts which have claimed
more than 10,000 innocent lives in the past five years,
attracted the attention of foreign powers, when it
kidnapped over 234 female students from Government
Girls Secondary School, Chibok, Borno State nearly three
months ago http://m.naij.com/news/69229.html

BREAKING NEWS: Rivers Assembly Majority
Leader, Chidi Lloyd, Arrested For Murder
03.01.2014, 6:39 Local
Share this story
The Rivers State Police Command said it had
arrested the Leader of the Rivers State House of
Assembly, Mr. Chidi Lloyd, for the alleged murder
of his kinsman, Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo and a police
sergeant, Urang Obediah.
A statement made on Thursday night indicated that
Lloyd was purportedly arrested on his way to join
the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, in his
private jet in order to escape justice.
The statement sent via e-mail by the State Police
Public Relations Officer, Mr. Ahmad Mohammad,
specified that Lloyd knocked down Obediah while
pursuing Ejeuo, identified to be his political
opponent.
Lloyd, who was still standing trial for his
involvement in the fracas that took place in the
State House on July 9, 2013, was said to have
rammed into Ejeuo's Passat car with a bulletproof
vehicle and killed him (Ejeo).
The police command pointed out that it had
initially thought it was an auto accident until Lloyd
relocated to another hospital, "conscious of what
he did."
"The Rivers State Police Command has arrested
Hon. Chidi Llyod of the Rivers State House of
Assembly for murder of police Sgt. Urang Obediah
and Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo, his kinsman and arch
political opponent.
"He was arrested on his way to join Governor
Amaechi Rotimi in his private jet at the Airforce
base to escape justice.
"Hon. Chidi Lloyd on December 30, 2013 while
pursing his political opponent, knocked down Sgt.
Urang Obediah, in spite of his effort to stop him,
rammed and killed him and went ahead to crush
the Passat car of Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo was driving
and killed him.
"Initially the Police thought that it was a mere
accident, which ought to have been a
manslaughter. The Commissioner of Police
directed ACP Aliyu Garba, the Area Commander
Metro, to visit him in his hospital bed and
commiserate with him, conscious of what he did,
Chidi Lloyd relocated to another hospital.
"Facts emerged that Chidi Lloyd drove a bullet-
proof vehicle while pursuing his political opponent,
late Mr. Kingsley Ejeuo, and he (Lloyd) knocked
down Sgt. Urang Obediah, who died on the spot
and (Lloyd) moved ahead to smash a political
opponent in his Passat car who equally died
instantly," the statement reads.
The statement added that late Ejeuo, who hailed
from the same place with Lloyd was believed to be
in the PDP camp led by Elder Felix Obuah.
The statement also indicated that the Leader of the
House allegedly escaped from the hospital where
he was being guarded by four policemen.
However, a top government official told our
correspondent that the claim by the police that
Lloyd tried to join Amaechi in his (Amaechi)
private jet in order to escape justice was a blatant
lie.
It will be recalled that Lloyd, who presented himself
to the Nigeria Police after a video clip showed him
hitting a member of the House of Assembly, Mr.
Michael Chinda, with a mace on the head, was
charged to court on a six-count charge, including
attempted murder.
Lloyd was later granted bail in order to receive
medical attention after sustaining injury during the
July 9, 2013 free-for-all in the chambers of the
State House of Assembly.

Okonjo-Iweala Shuns House Deadline
03.01.2014, 6:44 Local
Share this story
Is the economy healthy? There seems to be no
answer to this knotty question, with Minister of
Finance Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's seeming refusal to
clear the air.
The House of Representatives Finance Committee
gave the minister 50 questions on the state of the
economy. She was to answer in two weeks. The
Minister was yet to respond yesterday.
The Committee, on December 19, last year listed
the 50 questions for the Minister at an interactive
session where she told the lawmakers that she was
"sick due to lack of sleep".
The meeting ended on a sour note when the
Minister insisted that she could continue with the
session, with the assistance of her two
subordinates.
The Committee refused to grant Mrs. Okonjo-
Iweala's request, saying her health could not be
compromised.
Committee Chairman Jibrin Abdulmumin said the
backlash could only be imagined if she collapses
during the session.
Though the Chairman could not be reached for
comments, it was learnt that the Committee is not
opposed to giving the minister more time for her
response.
A source told The Nation: "You see, the minister
almost succeeded in making us look like we were
inconsiderate whereas we were not aware of the
reaction that would follow if we insisted on
questioning a sick minister.
"I am sure the Committee will give her enough
time; we won't leave any room for anyone to put
the blame on us by the time we wield the big stick.
Nobody is bigger than the country.
"We are not here on our own and we are
constitutionally empowered to do what we are
doing. The issue is about the country and not
about an individual and this is not a party matter.
"My guess is by the time we resume from the
break, more than enough time would have been
given and by then, whatever we decide to do would
not be seen as vindictive."
The Committee's concern on the economy is
premised on the fact that the government has been
celebrating a single-digit Gross domestic Product
(GDP) growth, but facts do not support the claims.
The Committee noted that while speaking recently
at a breakfast dialogue with some members of the
organised private sector in Lagos - a forum
organised by the Nigerian Economic Summit Group
(NESG), the Minister was quoted as saying: "We
are growing, but not creating enough jobs. That is
a very big challenge…We need to grow faster. I
think it needs to grow at least 9 to 10 per cent to
drive job growth the way we want."
The Committee asked: "Don't you agree that a
good finance minister managing an economy like
ours should be celebrating a GDP growth as high
as 20 per cent annually?
"Why is it that our economy cannot grow beyond a
single digit? How many jobs are being created as
a result of these said growths? In which sectors of
the economy are these jobs created? If in private
sector, what contribution is government making to
further assist these private sector firms?
"In the presence of Nigeria's huge infrastructure
deficit, why is it that the country's debt-to-GDP at
about 19 percent in 2012 remains one of the
lowest in the world when compared to nations
already with world-class infrastructure and
industrial economies, such as America's 105 per
cent, Brazil's 65.49 per cent, India's 67.60 per
cent and South Africa's 40.9 per cent?
"Since facts don't lie, have you any disagreements
with the September 4, 2013 Global
Competitiveness Report of the World Economic
Forum for 2013-2014, which ranked Nigeria 120th
out of 148 countries ranked in the Global
Competitiveness Index, including being ranked far
behind some African countries, such as Mauritius
45th, South Africa 53rd, and Kenya 96th?
''For the first time in Nigeria's 53-year history, we
have successfully privatised the electric power
industry,'' so said the President at a recent
meeting in London with some foreign investors.
"As minister of finance, should you agree that the
recent privatisation of the country's power
infrastructure is worth celebrating as a major
economic achievement in 2013, when in reality
there is little or nothing to show as an
improvement in the country power supply? Also,
why our rush to wholesale privatisation of the
power sector when countries like South Africa,
generating as high as 42,000MW, still have their
power sector mostly in public hands?"
The Committee was also cognisant of the fact that
Nigerian leaders are always quick to compare the
nation's economic growth or otherwise with other
countries.
However, the Committee was of the opinion that
while it was easy to compare, but economic indices
in the two environments were conveniently ignored
by the leaders.
Looking at the essence of the Excess Crude
Account and the Sovereign Wealth Fund to internal
economic growth, It was pointed out to the
minister that "Your references to the country's
economic growth profile have always been based
on Fitch, Standard and Poor's, and Moody's
ratings.
"Are you aware that these same rating agencies
are being sued in New York (with case #
652410/2013) by two Bear Stearns hedge funds for
fraudulently assigning inflated ratings to securities
in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis? If you
do, why do you insist on accepting the rating as
reliable.
"How much exactly has been the amount of money
lost in government revenue as a result of import
duty waivers in 2011, 2012 and 2013? Provide the
names and beneficiaries and justification for same.
"In your opinion as the minister of finance who
oversees the economy, what are the implications to
the country's economy? What efforts have you
made to stop this waiver policy, which is distorting
the economy?
"Our non oil income has dropped in 2013. A case
where increased tariffs on various items effectively
reduced importation to zero in some sectors.
However, those items now find their way into
Nigeria through our borders.
"Does it make any sense to increase these tariffs
when we have such porous borders? As an
example, officially, Togo imported more rice this
year than Nigeria.
"Do you really believe that Nigeria needs a
'Sovereign Wealth Fund' at this critical juncture of
budgetary deficits, and having to be borrowing
extensively in an effort to address government
revenue gaps?
"Shouldn't the presence of Nigerian Sovereign
Investment Authority (NSIA) simply mean
spreading government's scarce resources thinly?
Why will you insist that no matter what, we still
need to operate a sovereign wealth fund?
"Sincerely speaking, how sustainable are the
objectives of Nigeria's Sovereign Wealth Fund,
particularly in the long-term? You should agree
that a lot of Nigerians are interested in the link
between NSIA and the government.
"Since there is no doubt that Nigerian Sovereign
Investment Authority is an agent of government -
or is it not? The question is: How should we think
about the management structure in so far as major
decisions are concerned?
"Where is the line between NSIA, as a
commercially minded entity, and the government,
especially given government's policy of having no
business doing business? If, for example,
government does not get involved in specific
investments, then, who appoints the external
managers involved in managing some parts of the
NSIA funds?
"Who determines the investment objective and who
establishes the risk parameter for the NSIA's
portfolio? In providing answer to this question, it is
also important to understand and explain why
NSIA recently hired a Swiss national as its chief
portfolio investor?
"Answering this question is important since it
should help us to know who determines the
maximum draw-down that the government would
be comfortable with in extremely negative market
environments.
"Do you agree that the Excess Crude Account
(ECA) as being operated by government is illegal
and unconstitutional, especially given how it has
been managed?
"Can you explain with clarity how the ECA is being
operated? Also, provide a statement of account of
the ECA from 2011 to 2013? Also, how much have
we made in excess of the benchmark price from
January 2013 till date?
"If there is nothing like Excess Crude Account,
would you have been demanding lower oil price
benchmark for the budget, especially when the
executive arm of government around the world is
known for demanding more money from
lawmakers in order to be able to meet government
spending obligations, particularly capital spending?
"Why is the reverse the case in Nigeria only,
notably since 2011? With respect to the Excess
crude account and our Sovereign Wealth Fund
again, there have been allegations and counter
allegations on its legality.
"Assuming, for the sake of the committee's
enlightenment, the FGN alone saved its own excess
in its ECA/SWF (which is about 52% of the
Federation Account) and the states and local
governments get their funds in full compliance with
the constitution, what would be the effect on the
economy?"

This interview had been conducted by Premium
Times before President of the Niger Delta Peoples
Volunteer Force, Muhajid Asari-Dokubo was
arrested in Benin Republic in late November,
2013. Here, he touches upon such subjects as
Jonathan's chances at winning in 2015, oil
stealing, Governor Amaechi's betrayal, among
other things.
On "bloodshed" in Nigeria: If you look at the
attacks that have been directed at Goodluck since
it became apparent that he was going to become
President since 2010, certain individuals, especially
the Ciromas, Lawal Kaita, General Muhammadu
Buhari, General Ibrahim Babangida, have also
made several statements.
I quote: Lawal Kaita said, "It is the turn of the
North to produce the president, that if Jonathan by
default wins the nomination of the PDP, we will
stop him at the general elections. If we fail to stop
him at the general election, even if he wins he will
not be able to rulel we will make the country
ungovernable for him."
Nobody has a monopoly of violence. For every
action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. We
cannot sit, fold our hands and watch. If we had
done that, Goodluck Jonathan would have been
killed long time ago.
He comes from a place that feeds the nation.
Nigeria is only existing because of Ijaw, Ogoni,
Itsekiri, Isoko, Ibo and Urhobo oil. Nigeria is only
existing because of its access to the coast
provided by the Ijaws, Itskeri and the Yorubas.
Nigeria would have become a landlocked country.
So we contribute to the survival of Nigeria. All
these men have gained from the misnomer called
Nigeria because Nigeria claims to be a Federal
Republic but it's not, it's a very crude primitive
state where we have an all-powerful centre.
[In] the last interview I granted, I said it on
Channels television, there was no such thing. I
said, and I repeat, and I have no apology to
anybody, that those who said that the blood of the
monkeys, baboons, dogs and if they want to soak
them on the water we will help them to soak the
blood of the baboons and the dogs on the street; if
they want to soak them in water we will help them.
That was my statement.
On presidential pardon and amnesty: I was
president of Ijaw Youth Council, which is the
biggest youth group up till date, and I'm also the
leader of the Niger Delta Peoples' Volunteer Force
and Niger Delta Peoples' Salvation Funds.
Did I tell you that I collected amnesty? I am not a
criminal. I don't know what you are talking about.
Asari isn't a criminal. I am not a militant and I
have a pedigree and I cannot soil my name. If the
Nigerian state has any evidence to criminalize me,
they should go to court. They've done that several
times and they failed without evidence. Yes, people
who took amnesty have been criminalized, that's
what it means. You pardon someone who has
committed an offence, not all of them were
criminals. But if you accept pardon as a criminal,
why will I speak for you? You have accepted
willingly. I did not collect amnesty and the majority
of my people did not. Only those who broke away
from us did.
I was granted bail by a competent court of
jurisdiction and I am still on bail. I employed my
lawyers. We went to the Supreme Court for bail
application and for the first time in my life, the
court suspended the constitution of this country
because of me. The court says people can be
arrested and be detained as long as the
government wants. It's a shame on the judiciary of
this country that the Supreme Court gave a
judgment suspending the constitution. That's why
some of us feel Goodluck is playing with these
political miscreants who call themselves
governors. If I was hit with the hammer by
Obasanjo, what is holding Goodluck Jonathan? He
should hit these political miscreants with a
hammer. Obasanjo should be arrested and
detained, and Atiku, too. They are ordinary citizens
of this country. They are nobody. I don't know
about Babangida [because] he has not come out to
talk about where he belongs.
The government first refused to bring me to court.
Yar'Adua was compelled to release me from prison
because of the bribe, because of the oil, that they
want production which had fallen into 600,000
barrels. Nigeria was losing money, so they wanted
to release Asari but I refused to sign. So many
things were offered me but I said no and I refused
to sign. Henry Okah and others signed.
My mother died at the age of 29. I'm 50. My father
died at the age 59. I'm 50. So, why should I be
afraid of death? It will come when it will come.
When God says you are going to die, you will die.
So I cannot mortgage my integrity, my honour, my
pedigree and that of my children.
On the amnesty programme of Jonathan's
administration, and the fact that his friends are
beneficiareis: I am one of the people who have
been against amnesty. Amnesty is a crime against
humanity. That someone raped, killed, committed
all sorts of crime and after doing that, because you
want money, mostly to steal, then you pardon the
person. A man kidnapped another man, put him
through trauma and you pardon him. A man raped
and you pardon him. A man killed and you pardon
him because you want money.
My friends and I are not the same. My child and I
are not the same, even my wife. None of my
siblings took amnesty and NDPVF didn't take
amnesty. God has a way of preparing things since
the time of creation.
On meeting with Major Hamza Al-Mustapha: You
cannot divorce politics from whatever man is
doing. Even between man and woman, politics is
involved.
The meeting with Al-Mustapha is to bring peace.
Faseun, Uwazuruike, Yerima Shettima, Abacha,
Tony Major and over 50 different organisations
were there. Government wants to be oblivious of
what is going on. It is a tsunami. It is the first time
that people from the Caliphate, Borno and people
from other part of this country are meeting. People
have come to say "look, whatever has happened
before we should put it aside, have a focus and put
an eye on the future." All of us have suffered from
one form of deprivation or the other. All of us have
been in prison - myself, Pa Faseun, Uwazuruike,
Al-Mustapha, Mohammed. We have been
imprisoned at one time or the other. We have all
suffered one form of deprivation or the other. Our
collective suffering should be a sacrifice to bring
hope to our people.
We met and we saw the sincerity in them. Some
people say I hate the North, but I laugh. They say I
hate the Fulanis, Kanuris and I find that funny. I
have two boys, and their mother is a Fulani, living
among Kanuri people from Borno state. One of
them is named after me - Mujahid Dokubo, and the
other one is Nurul-Islam. They have been living
with their mother. My son even speaks Hausa and
Fulfude. He doesn't even know how to speak my
language. I am married to a Shuwa Arab also from
Borno Empire. My in-laws come to my house, eat,
sleep, live in my house and we do things together.
When it comes to protecting the interest of my
people, it is beyond me because of my personal
life. So if people want to kill my people, I should
fold my hands because I'm married to a Fulani
woman? When everyone dies, it will remain only
my two sons and myself. God created me an Ijaw
man for a purpose.
On whether he supports the President because he
is also an Ijaw: They say charity begins at home.
Goodluck is an Ijaw man, who will I support?
Prophet Mohammed said whether your brother is
right or wrong, support him. And the people asked
why you should support your brother when he is
wrong. The Prophet said support him by correcting
him.
I am one of the most fiery, balanced critics of
Goodluck, inside and outside the house. When the
President does anything wrong and I don't have
access to him, I come out and shout at the roof
top that he should fix things and they will start
fixing it. The most important thing is that he is an
Ijaw man. There is no compromise on that. As
president of Ijaw Youth Council, I'm to protect their
interest. I'm an Ijaw man and I will protect their
interest. In terms of performance, if you put
Nigerian past leaders together, he has
outperformed them.
The Benin-Lagos Expressway is now passable.
Obasanjo was there for eight years, he didn't fix it.
Abdulsalami was there, and also Abacha. During
IBB's time, the road was okay. Look at the Abuja-
Lokoja Expressway. They budgeted for it every
year. In all the eight years of Obasanjo, they didn't
go more than 5km on that road and money was
budgeted, appropriated, misapplied and
misappropriated. The road was comatose.
Under Yar'Adua, they said N500 billion was
released for special agricultural funds on a piece of
paper, but nobody saw the money till today.
Nigeria agricultural sector has come alive and
everybody knows that. The investment profile of
Nigeria has increased. The Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI) profile has increased.
On insecurity: Nigeria is in a civil orchestrated by
the Ciromas and the Kaitas trying to breath evil
right on the back of a tiger. Abeg he go enter tiger
belle. In Niger Delta, we have organization on the
ground to put heads and balancing that when they
put order everybody fall in line. We have order.
But in the North, they don't have the capacity
because of years of deprivation of their people.
The billion they made over this years doesn't
translate to the life of the ordinary northerners. The
northerners are the poorest, the northerners are the
most diseased, there is a lot of underdevelopment
in the North. After years of looting so they have no
control over their people so when they were
thinking Boko Haram will be their own militia, their
own militants they didn't know how far Boko
Haram will go. I schooled at Gamboru Gala. I
learnt Quran there. Today Gamboru Gala is a no-
go area.
On President's possible actions: Goodluck
Jonathan should declare a war in Nigeria. The
country is in a state of war. Foreigners are coming
into Nigeria, encouraged by the Ciromas and the
Kaitas. These men should be arrested. They are
the people who have come out to say they are
displeased and they have done it and its
happening. They should be arrested. They say if
Goodluck wins they will make the country
ungovernable for him and it has happened. If a
witch says he will kill you today and tomorrow you
have headache, it is the witch that caused it. The
president should declare a war against these men.
They have all apparatuses of a state. They are not
ashamed. They said as far as they are concerned
they are at war.
Obasanjo brought helicopters to bomb my camp
for 11 months we fought. In which state where he
declared a state of emergency did he allow the
political structure to remain? How will the president
be playing with a life when we know and politicians
from Borno state have accused SAS (Senator Ali
Modu Sherif) that he's responsible for setting up
Boko Haram and he is a stalwart of APC. So why
will the president be playing with them with kids
gloves?
If I was put in prison, why should Ciroma not be
out in prison. Why will Kaita and SAS not be put in
prison? As for IBB, one statement or the other that
he made is not enough for him to be put in jail.
After that, he has made many mitigating
statements.
Goodluck Jonathan should use hammer against
those political miscreants. They are all miscreants
and hammer must be used against them. There is
only one registered PDP known to INEC and its
only PDP. Jonathan is indulging. If you break the
law you should be treated as a lawbreaker.
On relationship with Chibuike Amaechi: Let me tell
you - Amaechi is a traitor, a traitor to all people of
the South-South and South East. I've said it over
and over when this thing started that as a traitor
you will be treated as a traitor. Goodluck is
shielding him. The president is not even fighting
him. If Goodluck were fighting Amaechi, by now he
would not go to Port Harcourt again.
Many people have made sacrifices. Ken Saro Wiwa
fought for our people. This man who calls himself
Amaechi, who never won election, is a miscreant.
We know his origin. He was Peter Odili's
"houseboy" that Odili imposed on the people of
Ikwerre Constituency without winning election.
They collectively deceived the people of South-
South.
We were all student union leaders. I'm older than
him. Can Amaechi win election in his unit? Has
Amaechi ever supported Goodluck? This is how you
indulge this criminal, common criminal who is
supposed to be in prison. How did he get over one
million votes? It's rigging.
I voted for Goodluck. Immediately after the election
the position of PDP was that the South West
should take the speakership seat. Amaechi and his
people he brought to the National Assembly by
manipulation supported Aminu Tambuwal and that
is why they are heading important committees in
the National Assembly. These are the characters
working with this miscreant that we are indulging.
On Jonathan-Amaechi opposition: I have already
told you that all the PDP legislators that came
from Rivers State stood against the president and
supported Tambuwal. The problem started since
then.
The only president that can be compared to
Goodlcuk in Nigeria is Shagari. He is peaceful, he
has human feelings and he doesn't want to hurt an
ant. Amaechi and Adams Oshiomhole from the
South-South have projected that if Goodluck is the
president for the next four years, they will become
irrelevant. They will be out of power for four years.
Oshhiolome will be out of power for two years
plus. Oshiomhole is my brother, but when it comes
to standing with the president, friendship has got
nothing to do. If oshiomhole is going for the
presidency today, I will stake my life for him. But if
he wants to go and join people because of political
agenda or survival, we should jettison sacrifice and
die for the South-South.
So if Goodluck does not come back, anyone of
them will aspire for the position of Senate
President or the Speaker. Oshimhole is level
headed than this small boy, Amaechi. He is not
doing his own like a matured person, same as
Rochas Okorocha. If Goodluck can complete eight
years, they believe there is the likelihood that the
presidency will go up to the north, that is if he wins
the second term which I know he will.
The political interest of our people is at stake. They
will chase Rochas Okorocha away. Rochas is a
goner and he knows it and he will go. That is why
some of us are going to be aggressive with
Goodluck. There is no begging, there's no retreat,
no surrender. We are not taking any Prisoner of
War. It is going to be total vanquish, no Prisoner of
War. This one is do or die.
We are fighting for our soul and our survival now.
They have aligned with Tinubu and we are going to
see how it goes if Goodluck will contest. Let's see
how you will pass Goodluck and sit in Aso Rock. It
is not about weapons to fight. Everything will be
glaring and we will see it clearly. We heard
Amacehi has been buying guns for the people. It is
human beings that will shoot those guns. When the
time comes we will see. Oshimhole is very mild.
He opens ways for reconciliation, but Amaechi is
not allowing reconciliation. He has reached the
point of no return.
On the opposition of some PDP chieftains against
President Goodluck Jonathan: Kwankwaso is in
charge of Kano. What is Goodluck's business in
Kano? They printed Kwankwaso with Buhari's
posters in Kano. Whether he's behind him or not,
they will not win the election. I don't know whether
he is part of it or not. Kwankwaso support is
nothing. Atiku has started singing a new song. He
said Goodluck could contest in 2015.
I read it [in the newspapers] . I read it somewhere
that Obasanjo is the problem of the PDP. Bukola
Saraki did not support Goodluck; he was a
presidential candidate. It is that same grudge that
he is bearing against Goodluck. Each of the states
has its own political colouration. Goodluck didn't
win any state in the North East and North West
zones. People forget so soon. He got two-thirds of
36 states. He will have the two-thirds and win the
2015 presidential election. The election is
concluded, it is a foregone conclusion. When they
are contesting election in the USA they will tell who
will win.
We have done our calculations, and we know
Goodluck has already won. If Goodluck won the
last election with six million votes, now it will be
10 million votes. Most of them will start begging
very soon and some have started begging.
On the drop in revenue in Nigeria: He who owns
the land owns everything on the land and above
the land. The Niger Delta people own all the things
on the land and above the land in accordance with
equity. They can't steal what belongs to them.
In accordance with equity and good conscience
and natural justice, we will continue to have
problems. You can't take it from the Niger Delta
and bring it to build houses in Abuja and go and
develop Lagos and create Dangote, Otedola,
Adenuga, Emeka Offor and even create Dokubo-
Asari. There must be natural justice and great
conscience
Somebody sitting there at the National Assembly is
opposing the Petroleum Industry Bill, a bill that will
give more capacity to the oil producing
communities.
On Niger Deltans stealing oil: The oil belongs to
them. They have the right to take it. My problem is
the environmental degrading that comes with
taking of the oil. They have the right to take it, but
have no right to destroy the environment.

APC To Assume House Leadership
02.01.2014, 6:11 Politics
Share this story
There are strong indications that the All
Progressives Congress, APC, may, on resumption
from recess of the House of Representatives on
January 13, 2014, assume the leadership of the
House from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
This, however, may not affect the offices of the
speaker and deputy speaker respectively.
The impending development is followed by the
defection of 37 members of the PDP to APC late
last month.
Speculations had been rife since December 2013,
shortly before the House went on Christmas break,
that the change would have occurred.
A member of the House and PDP decampee said
the first quarter of the new year would herald
changes that would affect the leadership structure
of the House.
He said: "Within the House, 2014 will be a
remarkable year for Nigeria, remarkable in the
sense that, of course, the trend which began in late
2013 in terms of power shift will continue and what
that means is that APC should be able to get the
requisite 181 members which gives it complete
majority. When that happens chances are that the
leadership will shift from PDP to APC.
"APC has between 172 to 174 members in the
House. And what we just need, I think is between 8
and 9 new members in terms of those crossing
from PDP to APC. And that will be the APC
requisite that will shape the House and points the
future direction of the House.
"But what is certain is that if everything does not
change, the leadership, the majority leader will
need to relinquish that position because at the end
of the day, a party cannot be in the minority and
still hold the position of the Majority Leader."

President Goodluck Jonathan said yesterday that
Nigeria has the potentials to lead Africa if public
office holders, politicians and indeed, the citizenry,
stop being selfish.
The President recalled his encounter with United
States President Barack Obama when the latter
revealed that about 25, 000 medical consultants
work in the U.S., the number which the US leader
said, was crucial to the American economy.

Jonathan said that Nigeria has what it takes to
lead the African continent, considering the
country's human and natural resources.
The President spoke at the New Year service held
at Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Pro-Cathedral,
Catholic Church in Area 3, Abuja. The service was
attended by dignitaries including Senate President
David Mark.
He challenged politicians to plan for the next
generation instead of wasting all energies on their
own personal interests, adding that there was no
need for anyone to heat up the polity in the
struggle for political offices as the Constitution
does not back life tenure for president and
governors except members of the National
Assembly.
Jonathan said Nigeria has great potentials to lead
Africa as was observed by world leaders including
President Obama, assuring that he was convinced
that this year would be better than 2013.
"All what we need to do is to make sure that we
continue to do things rightly. That is why I always
plead with my fellow politicians that yes, we must
play the politics, but let us take the interest of the
country more than our own individual interest. And
as we continue to play the politics in that direction,
leaders will come and go, but the country will stay.
"Luckily, we have a Constitution that says that
nobody will be a governor or president forever. It is
only in the parliament that you can be there till you
die. As long as we consider the interest of our
country, children, grandchildren and we begin to
plan for the next generation instead of wasting all
our energies to think about ourselves, before we
get to the next 100 years, the country will be
better. Nigeria can even change in the next few
years and things will be better for everybody."
On security, he again said Nigeria is not an
isolated case, assuring that the country will
certainly overcome the challenges. "Just like
Senate President David Mark mentioned, the world
as a whole is facing a lot of challenges within this
period. If you switch on your television and if you
flip through the newspapers, there are always
breaking news and the breaking news are not
positive news. Whenever I see breaking news, you
know there is one crisis somewhere in the world.
"We are reading about crises everywhere. And our
country too, unfortunately, we also have our own
fair share of crises. There is the issue of Boko
Haram and the excesses of the militia groups,
kidnapping in southern Nigeria. Boko Haram
terrorist activities in the northern part of the
country, but government is committed to bring this
to an end", he said.
On the economy, the President said: "As we enter
the New Year, we will surely get our economy to
continue to move in the right direction and in the
direction we want it to move. We shall continue to
work hard to make sure that not just that the
economy will be growing based on economic
parameters and indices, but that jobs are available
for our young men and women and that food is
cheap in our markets for ordinary people to buy
and eat. That is the commitment of government".
To deliver more dividends of democracy and good
governance, he promised to work hard with the
National Assembly, his cabinet and other officers
of government.
"Despite our challenges, all what we continue to
request from you is your continuous prayers
because we believe and luckily we are in a
Christian congregation, we believe that no matter
what an individual think he is, if God doesn't want
you to succeed in achieving anything, you will not.
You will get so close to it but at the end of the day,
you will not get it.
"I remember the second time I met President
Obama after 2011 elections, he said that Nigeria
has the potentials to lead Africa and Nigeria has
the potential to be a great country. He said in
America, we have over 25,000 Nigerian medical
consultants working in the health system, not just
people with MBBS but consultants, over 25,000.
And that today, if all these Nigerians leave, they
will have a lot of challenges in the health system
of America. And that is the President of the
number one country now. He believes that Nigeria
has a lot of potentials."
On Nigeria's centenary celebration, he said:
"Surely, the country will get to where it wants to
get to. Today is a special day, very special.
January 1, 2014 because we have been informing
you that the amalgamation of our country to what
we now call Nigeria happened on the 1st of
January, 1914. Today, modern Nigeria is one
hundred years old."
"The formal ceremony will take place by late
February, the programme will soon be advertised
for all Nigerians to see and know the areas they
will participate because it is a programme for all
of us. All the religious houses will be involved in
one form of prayer or the other."
"So, today, we are not just celebrating the new year
but we are also celebrating a special new year. A
new year that Nigeria, modern Nigeria is 100
years. And we use this period to begin to think
what will be Nigeria in the next 100 years",
Jonathan said.

Nigeria plays Mali on
January 11 in Cape Town in
the first match of CHAN 2014
in South Africa. However, the
decision on who will
represent the nation at the tournament has just
been made.
According to MTNFootball.com, the Super Eagles
handlers have dropped injured Gambo Mohammed
and Yinka Adedeji from participating in CHAN.
Both players have since left the Eagles' training
camp.
The highly-rated Pillars star Gambo, who featured
for Nigeria at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in
Brazil, has been nursing a hamstring injury, which
has kept him by the sidelines since the Eagles
resumed training for CHAN earlier this month.
Adedeji also suffered a hamstring injury at the
weekend.
Golden Eaglets goalkeeper Dele Alampasu is also
set to be in South Africa as third-choice
goalkeeper after FC Taraba goalkeeper Ibrahim
Pius was axed, but his Eaglet teammate Taiwo
Awoniyi did not make the final cut.
A new Enyimba signing Mfom Udoh, who was a
late call-up to the Eagles after his goals for Akwa
United last season, was also dropped.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured
Nigerians that the party is ready, willing and
determined to make all the necessary sacrifices to
reverse the prevailing gloomy situation in the
country and bring about the much-needed change
for the better in the interest of the long-suffering
citizens.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday by its
Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, the party said Nigerians should go
into the New Year with an unyielding commitment
to be part of ongoing efforts to set the country on
the path of growth and development, rather than
get into a state of funk on the basis of the
cumulative mis-governance of the past 14 years by
the PDP-led Federal Government.
''While wishing all Nigerians a great 2014, we
hereby solicit their unalloyed support for our efforts
to reshape the country's political landscape, shake
off the heavy yoke imposed on them by their
selfish, self-serving and clueless leaders and make
the country a source of pride not only to its
citizens but to all black people in the world,'' it
said.
APC said the first step in what will be a tough but
final battle to rescue Nigeria from the clutches of
rapacious leaders will be to bring the citizenry on
board the train of change that is barrelling through
the country, and to ensure that elections in the
country are free, fair and credible.
''As we wrote in the preamble to our manifesto,
'democracy, to be stable and meaningful, must be
anchored on the principle that government derives
its powers from the consent of the governed....This
means that governments are instituted on the
basis of free, fair and credible elections, and are
maintained through responsiveness to public
opinion.
'''In addition, the exercise of political authority is
rooted in the rule of law. APC believes in the
doctrine of social contract between the leaders and
the led; which means that the public office holder
is a trustee of the people and that power must be
used in the interest of the people rather than in the
interest of the public office holder','' the party said.
It said in order to ensure that as many Nigerians
as possible are brought aboard the APC train of
change, the party will kick-start its membership
registration drive early in the year, targeting in
particular the youth who are indispensable in any
effort to bring about change.
''We ask all those who are yearning for genuine
change to seize the moment and embrace the
engine of change, which the APC represents! Our
compatriots who have lost faith in our dear country
because of inefficient and corrupt leadership can
count on us, because we represent committed,
transparent and focused leadership,'' APC said.
The party pledged to halt the country's drift
towards a failed state with a conscious plan for a
post-oil economy in Nigeria, details of which will
be outlined in the weeks and months ahead; and to
make the welfare and security of the citizenry,
which is the raison d'etre of any government, its
top priority;
APC said that in order to extricate Nigeria from the
dire straits in which it has been plunged by the
successive PDP governments, the party has
decided to make as its priority the War Against
Corruption; Food security; Accelerated Power
Supply; Integrated Transport Network; Free
Education; Devolution of Power; Accelerated
Economic Growth and Affordable Health Care.
''We know skeptics will sneer at these and deride
them as mere sloganeering. After all, Nigerians
have been taken for a ride for the past 14 years by
those who have mistaken transmogrification for
transformation, and those who have relentless
pursued power for the sake of power, rather than to
use it to harness the country's abundant human
resources.
''But most things look impossible until they have
been achieved, and the impressive record of
performance in the states under our control, from
Kano to Imo states and from Lagos to Edo,
testifies to our ability, determination and
willingness to make things happen for the benefit
of our people,'' the party said.
Meanwhile, the party has said the year 2013 is
among the worst, if not the worst, for the citizenry,
who have been pauperized and dehumanized by a
government that keeps touting favourable economic
statistics in the face of an unprecedented fall in
the standard of living of its people.
''They say President Jonathan's achievement in
2013 is unprecedented, yet Nigerians celebrated the
Christmas and New Year holidays in unprecedented
pitch darkness and an unprecedented number of
our youths are unemployed; They say they are
winning the war against corruption, yet key
government officials, including the so-called
Coordinating Minister of the Economy, do not even
know how much Nigeria earns from crude oil and
gas sales, and what happened to 12 billion dollars
earned from domestic crude lifting; They are so
eager to cling to any straw of 'achievement' that
they are celebrating the revival of the locomotive
engine in the 21st century!
''Such is their insensitivity and total lack of
compassion for human beings that the Jonathan
administration will rather spend the nation's scarce
resources on importing animals for the villa zoo
and on purchasing presidential jets that they do
not need.
''Because this government has become numb to
reason, because this government has deteriorated
from cluelessness to hopelessness and because
this government has totally lost any sense of
direction, we say it is time for Nigerians to gird
their loins and join hands with all those who are
seeking genuine change. To adapt Mahatma
Gandhi's timeless quote, Nigerians must be the
change they wish to see in their country, and the
year 2014 must be our Year of Change!'' APC said.
