Why we are probing only Jonathan’s administration – Presidency

THE Federal Government has said President Muhammadu Buhari would only probe former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration. Delving into the activities of other past administrations of Olusegun Obasanjo, Ibrahim Babangida, Sani Abacha and others could amount to waste of time.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina said Buhari had stated during his campaign that his probe would only be limited to the immediate past administration.

“If you recall, that was already settled before he was inaugurated as president. He has said he will not waste time digging into the far past. The far past will includes Obasanjo and others,” Adesina said.

Ayade’s aide disowns principal’s cloned Facebook account

by Eyo Charles

Cross River State governor, Senator Ben Ayade’s Special Assistant on Media and Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Christian Ita, yesterday, disowned a cloned Facebook account purporting to be that of the governor.
Dissociating Governor Ayade from the cloned Facebook account, which is currently being used by tricksters to swindle unsuspecting members of the public of their money for job placements, Mr. Ita, in a statement said: “The attention of the governor has been drawn to a Facebook account purporting to be his (Ayade). The said Facebook account is currently being used by swindlers to con unsuspecting members of the public of their money for job offers.”
According to the governor’s spokesman, “This is purely the handiwork of fraudsters and desperadoes who are taking advantage of the job opportunities being created by Governor Ayade through the setting up of the garment factory and the state’s Green Police to scam undiscerning members of the public of their hard-earned money in the guise of offering them jobs.”
While warning the general public to be wary of these criminal elements, Ita cautioned: “Given the antecedent of the governor, he has been known over the years to provide succor to the needy and the less privileged in the society through his various charity platforms. He is not one to ask anybody to part with money for favours. If he has not done this in his private capacity, he cannot now do that as a public officer.”
Ita, therefore, urged the general public to discountenance any monetary solicitation from anybody purporting to be acting on behalf of governor with a promise of a job, adding that it is not in the character of Ayade to seek gratification for favours.

Senate principle officers will be impeached next week – Senator Marafa

Senator Kabiru Marafa has vowed that the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, his deputy, Ike Ekweremadu as well as other principal officers in the Senate leadership would be impeached on Tuesday, July 28, when the upper legislative chamber resumes.

Marafa was reacting to the alleged plans to suspend pro-Ahmed Lawan senators.

Speaking on behalf of pro-Lawan legislators, Marafa asked people not to believe that there was a leadership in place in the Senate, stressing that a proper leadership would be put in place when the Red Chamber reconvenes next week.

According to him, Saraki and his three colleagues were occupying illegal offices that according to him, would soon be swept off their feet.

“Who is Senate leadership? There is nothing like that in the 8th Senate. What you have is a group of persons occupying those offices against the rules of the Senate and the Nigerian Nation! Tell them dem no fit!” He told Vanguard.

The Senate is expected to name the various committees next week with their membership, after which it will start full legislative business, having been on a self-imposed recess.

EFCC says 2 key witnesses in Nyako suit have died mysteriously

EFCC disclosed that 2 of its crucial witnesses in the N29billion fraud case against former Adamawa state governor Murtala Nyako, his son Abdulazis and other associates, have died mysteriously. The anti-graft agency told a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday July 10th that the mysteriously deaths of the 2 men have put fear in other witnesses who are now refusing to cooperate with them for fear of the unknown. EFCC begged the court to remand Nyako and his co-accused as it would be dangerous to allow them go on bail & also so witnesses could come forward & testify against them

"Two of our crucial witnesses, Ma’aji Mohammed Iro and Abdulmalik Dalhatu have died in mysterious circumstances and this has instilled fear in other prospective witnesses in the case" EFCC told the court

Ma’aji Mohammad Iro was a Regional Manager with Zenith Bank, who was in charge of Adamawa State Govt's accounts with the bank and allegedly assisted the former governor in the looting spree.

Message By President Goodluck Jonathan After Announcement Of Presidential Election Results to Nigerians

Fellow Nigerians,
I thank you all for turning out en-masse for the March 28 General Elections.

I promised the country free and fair elections. I have kept my word. I have also expanded the space for Nigerians to participate in the democratic process. That is one legacy I will like to see endure.
Although some people have expressed mixed feelings about the results announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), I urge those who may feel aggrieved to follow due process based on our constitution and
our electoral laws, in seeking redress.
As I have always affirmed, nobody’s ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian. The unity,stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else.

I congratulate all Nigerians for successfully going through the process of the March 28th General Elections with the commendable enthusiasm and
commitment that was demonstrated nationwide.

I also commend the Security Services for their role in ensuring that the elections were mostly peaceful and violence-free.
To my colleagues in the PDP, I thank you for your support.

Today, the PDP should be celebrating rather than mourning. We have established a legacy of democratic freedom,transparency, economic growth and free and fair elections.

For the past 16 years, we have steered the
country away from ethnic and regional politics.

We created a Pan-Nigerian political party and brought home to our people the realities of economic development and social transformation.
Through patriotism and diligence, we have built the biggest and most patriotic party in Nigerian history.

We must stand together as a party and
look to the future with renewed optimism.
I thank all Nigerians once again for the great opportunity I was given to lead this country and assure you that I will continue to do my best at the helm of national affairs until the end of my tenure.

I have conveyed my personal best wishes to General Muhammadu Buhari.

May God Almighty continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
I thank you all.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR

Nigeria election: Muhammadu Buhari wins

Nigerian presidential poll has been won by Muhammadu Buhari, in the country's first election victory by the opposition.

His opponent, Goodluck Jonathan, has conceded defeat and called Gen Buhari to congratulate him on his victory.
Gen Buhari was ahead of Mr Jonathan by at least three million votes.
Observers have generally praised the election but there have been allegations of fraud, which some fear could lead to protests and violence.
However, a spokesman for Gen Buhari's All Progressives Congress (APC) party praised Mr Jonathan, saying: "He will remain a hero for this move. The tension will go down dramatically."
"Anyone who tries to foment trouble on the account that they have lost the election will be doing so purely on his own," the spokesman added in quotes carried by Reuters.
This is a hugely significant moment in Nigeria's history - never before has a sitting president lost an election, the BBC's Will Ross reports from Abuja.
For the first time, many Nigerians feel they have the power to vote out a government that is not performing well, our correspondent adds.
Nigeria has suffered from several attacks by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram, which has killed thousands of people in its drive to establish an Islamic state.
Many voters have said that they believe Gen Buhari is better positioned to defeat Boko Haram.

Dont vote for me ,Vote for your interest - Jimi Agbaje

Jimi Agbaje the PDP governoship candidate of lagos state urged electorates to vote for their different interest in the forth coming elections. He said this in one of his frequent Facebook post recently. full text below;
As I move around Lagos talking about our message of CHANGE, I'm constantly approached by people - a lot of them
young and optimistic about the future of Lagos - asking why they should vote for me and not my opponent. And my
response typically amazes them, to say the least.
In fact, I gave one of such responses recently to a young lady that I met during a campaign stop in Badagry. I said, "Don't
vote for me, vote your interest. Vote for what YOU care about."
Now some of you reading this might be wondering but the truth is that, in this election, we all care about different things
in varying degrees. Some of you care about education while some of you might be more concerned about the safety of
lives and properties. Some of you might be piqued by the idea of addressing the issue of unfair taxation while some of you
might be passionate about having a healthcare system in Lagos that's affordable and works. In fact, one of the reasons I decided to run was because of the idea that we can do better as a state in terms of inclusiveness and ensuring that not just a few elites but greater good of ordinary people also benefit from the impact of our growing economy.
Again, I say, whatever your interest is, vote your interest.
If you think that I represent your values and that of your family and my message of change resonates with you, then maybe
we share something in common.
If you agree with the notion of a government that doubles-up on education above all and one that provides real schooling opportunities so that even the poorest amongst us never have to choose between eating one square meal or sending their children to school, then I might be your guy.
If you believe in new ideas, for example, reploughing 5% of Lagos' excess revenue in such a way as to encourage startup
businesses led specifically by our young men and women,then you should consider me as viable choice.
You see great leadership is not necessarily about how long but how well one has served. My opponent claims to have
27-years of experience serving in a state that is bordered by water yet he's admittedly at a loss when it comes to
understanding the innate potential of Lagos' next economic frontier - it's Ocean Economy.

Uyo Sen race: I’ll defeat Ita Enang,OBA – Ekpe James

The council chairman of Ibesikpo Asutan local
government council and Uyo senatorial hopeful, Hon.
Ekpe James has been cleared for the contest by the
ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
James who disclosed this to newsmen in Uyo shortly
after he was cleared by the PDP screening panel, said
that he would defeat incumbent Senator Ita Enang and
former finance Commissioner, Obong Bassey Albert
Akpan at the party’s primaries billed for December.
On what his clearance by the PDP screening panel
holds for Uyo people, he said that, it was an act of God
Almighty, to whom alone all powers belong and
portends good tidings for the people of Uyo senatorial
district, who, he noted, would get the best of
responsive and people-oriented representation they
have lacked since the inception of the current
democracy.
Apostle James said that it is time to attract meaningful
federal developments to the district, which, he said, is
lacking and also ensure capacity development as well
as human empowerment would become the gain of the
zone.
He re-instated his conviction that he is set to succeed
incumbent, Senator Ita Enang in the National Assembly
come 2015, maintaining that he was not in the race to
add to the number but, to win it.
He argued that those who feel he is a ‘write-off’ were
limiting the power of God to lift men according to his
will, saying that he was not intimidated by the big
names in the race, but remains focused on the project
of offering true representation to his people.

APC Reps Aspirant, Kingsley Nkemka, Assassinated In Imo

But i want to ask o,is this how politics is played in other countries? If so its not worth a penny to serve , please read.

Men suspected to be hired assassins have
allegedly gunned down a Federal House Of
Representatives aspirant, Kingsley Nkemka,
on Tuesday at an area known as T Junction,
Ohaohia Mbeiri, Mbaitoli local government
of Imo State.
Nkemka, who was aspiring to represent his
people of Mbaitoli/Ikeduru, on the platform
of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at
the lower house, was said to have met his
demise shortly after he attended the opening
session of the state house of assembly
lawmakers as a present aide of the speaker
of the state’s house of assembly.
According to a statement signed by the
senior special assistant on media to the
speaker, Emeka Ahaneku, the victim was
said to be hale and hearty before attending
the session.
According to the statement, Nkemka had
travelled to some of the wards in his
constituency in continuation of his
consultation with some party leaders in the
area to fine-tune his political aspiration.
“Immediately after his visit, Nkemka
reportedly stopped over briefly at the
popular T-junction, Ohaohia Mbieri, to also
meet with one of his facilitators who had
desired a meeting between 8 and 9pm
before the unfortunate incident.”
The statement further said that, “after the
meeting with his facilitator and the director-
general of his campaign organisation, some
hoodlums, numbering about five, suddenly
showed up at the scene, kicked out his
(Nkemka’s) facilitator, ransacked Nkemka’s
pockets, before shooting him in the ankle.
They ordered him into the booth of his
Toyota car where they finally shot him at
close range”.
When contacted, the state police public
relations officer, Andrew Enwerem,
confirmed the incident, adding that the
police have made some arrests in
connection with the crime, while
investigations are on-going.
