 Politics › Nigerians Divided Over President Buhari’s Prolonged Absence by zinachidi(op): 6:20pm On Mar 05, 2017 |
Mixed reactions have continued to trail President Muhammadu Buhari’s prolonged absence from Nigeria. The presidency had announced on January 19 that the president was proceeding on a 10-day vacation and a routine medical checkup in the United Kingdom. In a letter sent to both arms of the National Assembly, the President said Vice President Yemi Osinbajo would act as president pending his return. But the president, who could not make it back to the country on February 6, transmitted another letter to the Senate requesting extension of time to complete his medical tests in London. In that letter, he did not fix a date of return. In a chat with PREMIUM TIMES on Sunday, Nigerians expressed divergent opinions over the president’s absence and acting president Yemi Osinbajo’s performance thus far. Bayo Adeyinka, a public affairs analyst, said, “I don’t miss Buhari, and truth be told, I’d rather hope that he extends his vacation. We are doing much better in his absence.” A lecturer at the Department of Mass Communication, Al-Hikmah University, Ilorin, Ebony Oketunmbi, said he was indifferent to Mr. Buhari’s absence from Nigeria. “I’m indifferent to the president’s absence,” he told PREMIUM TIMES in a chat. For Isiaka Kehinde, that the world has become a global village means that the president is next door to Nigerians. Mr. Kehinde, who served as aide to former minister of FCT, Jumoke Akinjide, noted that the acting president is doing fine, too. “You can only miss what you don’t have. In this world described by McLuhan as a global village, I see PMB being in the next door to us. More so that his able Vice is not found wanting, there is no cause for missing PMB,” he said. “How many of us even see him in person when he is around?” he added, rhetorically. Wasiu Sadare, publicity secretary of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Oyo State, said, “Of course, I love him as a person as this informed the decision to work for his victory at the 2015 presidential election.” Mr. Sadare added that the president has not disappointed Nigerians, considering the rot he met on ground when he took over the mantle of leadership. “As the president of my country, he has not disappointed considering the magnitude of rot he inherited in the system and what he has been doing to fix the problem. We thank God for a capable Vice President in Prof. Yemi Osinbajo and I wish him the very best,” he said. The Oyo APC spokesperson, however, said that he misses the president and prays for his quick return to the country always. “I miss our president and I pray he comes back healthier and stronger soonest to continue the task of rebuilding the country. May his enemies and those of the country not succeed in their evil wishes,” he said. Akeem Olatunji, on his part, said the president’s absence is not being felt by the people, noting that things had been faring better since he left the country. “It seems PMB’s absence is not being felt by Nigerians because the economy went bad under his watch while he appeared to be bereft of Ideas,” he said. Mr. Olatunji, who is also the spokesperson of Accord Party in Oyo State, said it may not be necessary for the president to return to Nigeria any time soon. “I think the economy and government activities are faring better in his absence, hence it may not be all that necessary for him to come home now.” Temitope Oyetomi, on his part, said, “If Buhari were here, he won’t do more than Osinbajo is doing. I’d say Osinbajo is giving Buhari a 100% representation. The President can therefore enjoy his vacation as much as he pleases. “Whenever he chooses to return, he would be welcome,” he added. Since he left Nigeria for check-up abroad, Mr. Buhari, whose true state of health remains unknown, had been rumoured to have died, especially among young Nigerians on social media. But presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, on several occasions debunked such rumour, stressing that the president was fine. “The President wants Nigerians to know that he appreciates their prayers; he appreciates their concerns and their goodwill,” Mr. Adesina said while addressing state house correspondents in February. “He (president Buhari) has added that there is really no cause to worry,” he added.

Chelsea draw Man United in a blockbuster FA 4th round clash... Jose Mourinho will return to Stamford Bridge to face Antonio Conte's table-toppers, while there could be an all-non-league quarter-final Chelsea have been drawn at home to Jose Mourinho's Manchester United in the quarter-final stage of the FA Cup. The Portuguese will return to Stamford Bridge for the second time since leaving the west London club as he looks to replicate Louis van Gaal's success with the Red Devils last season. Elsewhere non-league Lincoln City were handed a potential trip to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal, should Arsene Wenger's side put out Sutton United on Monday evening. PLAY Should Sutton beat the Premier League club, however, it would guarantee a non-league club in the semi-final stage of the competition. Tottenham will host London rivals Millwall, having beaten Fulham on Sunday thanks to a Harry Kane hat-trick, while Middlesbrough will welcome either Huddersfield or Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's team could only draw with David Wagner's Champions side on Saturday, despite the Terriers fielding a weakened XI as they continue their bid to reach the Premier League. What do u think guys. Personally, as a man utd fan. I don't think chelsea will have it easy this time. U never know though. http://m.goal.com/x/en/news/9/english-football/2017/02/19/32854092/chelsea-drawn-with-manchester-united-in-fa-cup-quarter-final Cc semid4lyfe, honeric01,lalasticlala |
| Politics › Return Home If You Are Hale And Healthy – HR Group Tells Buhari by zinachidi(op): 8:43am On Feb 16, 2017 |
The Foundation for Human Rights and Anti- Corruption Crusade, FHRACC, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to return home if he is truly hale and healthy as claimed by his aides and associates. The group, while doubting the true state of health of the President, coupled with his alleged phone conversation with President Donald Trump of the United States, noted that the presidency was only acting a script to buy time. DAILY POST reports that Senate President, Bukola Saraki and Speaker of the Hoouse of Reps, Yakubu Dogara yesterday visted Buhari in London and claimed that the President was hale and hearty. However, FHRACC in a statement issued by its National President, Alaowei Cleric, forwarded to DAILY POST said if the President was fit as claimed by his party members and aides, he should return home and resume duties. The statement reads in full: We are dismayed over the trending news that President Donald Trump of the United States of America has called President Buhari on phone while the later is enjoying his esoteric leave in the UK. We would not have bothered to respond to such fabricated lie which ultimate end is to deceive gullible Nigerians; our concern is the length they have gone to cook up stories just to buy time. While Nigerians are eagerly waiting to see their President, it is shameful that the presidency is using the controversial vacation of Buhari to the UK as a platform to manufacture lies. Of what good will it do to Nigeria if the US government refutes this claim like that of Tinubu’s bizarre journey to the UK? On the contrary, if the said purported call is true then we have been vindicated. It only proved to us that the voice of Jacob is acting ceremoniously in Nigeria while the hands of Esau is performing the executive functions from the UK. The Nigerian constitution does not provide for parliamentary system of government. Nigeria can only have one President at a time. The content of Trump conversation with Buhari as published in the media is a usurpation of the power of the Acting President. If actually Buhari is hale hearty, let him come to the country to resume duties. He should not be in the UK, while on leave, to receive correspondents on behalf of the Government. That should be the functions of the Acting President. Considering the above convoluted rhetoric, we hereby renew our earlier call that President Buhari should address Nigerians in an audio-visual message. If however he is sick as being insinuated by some persons then let him declare himself unfit to rule the country, in case his condition calls for that, so that the Acting President can become the substantive one. Buhari should know that his aides have held the country to ransom with his absence. The presidential image makers have turned out to be presidential liars to be publishing headline news of Buhari’s contact with select Nigerians in order that they can evade the question of their principal’s health status in the UK. What a pity? We are calling on Nigerians to be vigilant. Cabals are at it again. If all is well with our President, we see no reason his close political associates are paying him visit in the UK with confusing circumstances.” Lalasticlala http://dailypost.ng/2017/02/16/return-home-hale-healthy-human-rights-group-tells-buhari/ |

| Crime › Food Vendor Allegedly Kills Bus Driver Over N30 by zinachidi(op): 7:34am On Jan 31, 2017 |
It was a raucous start to a new week yesterday for residents of College Bus-Stop, Igando in Lagos State after a noodle seller, Mallam Adamu, allegedly killed a bus driver, Lekan Adeleke alias Starboy on Sunday night. But for the intervention of policemen from Area ‘M’ and the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), the crisis would have snowballed into an ethnic war between the Hausa and Yoruba communities in the volatile area. The deceased’s family have appealed that Lekan’s body be released to them so that he can be buried in accordance with Islamic rites.It was gathered that Adamu used a plank attached with a nail to hit Starboy on the head following a disagreement over a paltry N30. According to an eyewitness, Kehinde Akinduro, who said he was eating noodles at Adamu’s snack bar when the trouble started, the suspect went berserk after the deceased paid his son N200 instead of N230. He stated that Starboy after eating a plate of noodles and eggs was told his bill was N230. Being a regular customer, he handed over the N200 he had on him and told the seller he would bring N30 in a few minutes time. Akinduro said: “The boy then went and told his father that Lekan paid N200 and promised to bring N30 shortly but his father ran after Lekan. People, who saw him running after Starboy to the other side of the road, told him to calm down that Lekan would not eat his money. “About five minutes later, Lekan brought the N30 and asked the boy if it was because of N30 they wanted to embarrass him. As Lekan was inside the container talking to the son, Adamu just entered with a plank he was holding and hit Lekan on his side. So, Lekan turned around to know what happened. When he saw it was Adamu, he struggled to take the plank from him but couldn’t. “I was still eating. I left my food and went inside to stop Adamu but he used the same plan to beat me three times. My hands and legs are still swollen. I fell on the ground and I was weak. “After the struggle, Lekan ran outside. He was about to cross the expressway and did not know Adamu was still coming behind him. That was how Adamu used the plank and hit Lekan on his head. The nail on the plank burst Lekan’s head and he fell on the express. “When I saw what had happened, I called our colleagues who were on the other side to come. People who were eating gathered and told Adamu to take Lekan to the hospital, but he was busy pouring water on Lekan’s head. “When he saw that our colleagues were coming, Adamu and his son fled. Others started chasing him but he used charms to distract people. We called our chairman and he called the police. I chased him too and found him inside a gutter at Ikotun Road. He was hiding under a slab and refused to come out until police came. This thing started around 11:05am.” Another driver, who gave his name as Eniola, described Adamu as a very violent man, noting that he chased a customer with a cutlass two months ago. According to Eniola, Adamu’s ear was chopped off some years back at Igando because he stabbed somebody to death. “He fled to College bus stop after escaping death from inside Igando. He’s a very violent man and he likes to threaten people with charms and weapons. We heard the police want to grant him bail. If he’s granted bail, this area won’t contain us anymore. Lekan cannot die in vain. Let justice be done. “Now, who would care for Lekan’s wife, daughter and mother? He was an only son and he has been taking care of his family. Lekan was a peaceful man. He was like an Alfa. He usually avoided trouble and so, we are not happy the way he was killed. Imagine if it was a Yoruba person that killed a Hausa man? This area would still be boiling now and many people would have been killed.” Lalasticlala http://m.guardian.ng/news/food-vendor-allegedly-kills-bus-driver-over-n30/ |
| Politics › Saraki, Dogara, 2 Others Accused Of Stealing N630m By Paying Rent To Themselves by zinachidi(op): 4:59pm On Jan 30, 2017 |
The quartet of Senate President, Bukola Saraki; his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu; House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara; and his deputy, Lasun Yusuf, have been accused of financial fraud totaling N630,125,499.90. The accusation was made by an advocacy group, Citizens Action to Take Back Nigeria (CATBAN), which said the four principal officers of the National Assembly executed the fraud by pressuring and using the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) to provide them with accommodation. This is in spite of the fact that the monetization policy of the Federal Government bars all agencies from using taxpayers money for to meet personal demands of public officers outside the provisions of the law. An independent investigation it conducted, disclosed CATBAN, showed that in March 2016, the four principal officers of the National Assembly approached the management of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA) to provide them with residential accommodation. This, it said, was sequel to a plan perfected by an agent acting between the National Assembly and FCDA to steal money via dubious accommodation requests. The requests, revealed CATBAN, were approved within 48 hours and followed with fund disbursement, an indication of the desperation to quickly get the money. The four principal officers added CATBAN, then presented companies that doubled as estate agents and property owners for the exercise. The companies used were Gogetit Investment Limited, which used a Zenith Bank account to receive the money, Legendark Consult Limited, which used a Guaranty Trust Bank account to reeive its own share, and Pitch Global Services, which has an account domiciled with Heritage Bank. Through the four companies, CATBAN said it found that the sum of N630,125,499.90 was fraudulently paid by the FCDA for phoney renting, renovation and furnishing of four properties as official Lalasticlala http://saharareporters.com/2017/01/30/saraki-dogara-2-others-accused-stealing-n630m-paying-rent-themselves |
