| Buhari’s Associates Are Dumping Him, R-APC Case – Junaid Mohammed States Why? Posted: 07 Jul 2018 04:35 PM PDT
Dr. Junaid Mohammed, Second Republic lawmaker, has revealed in this this little chat, why President Muhammadu Buhari was losing some of his associates ahead of the 2019 presidential election.The former Lawmaker described President Buhari as a man who does not maintain friends.Speaking to reporters on why Buba Galadima, a one time close associate of the President, led the Reformed All Progressives Congress out of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Mohammed said Buhari was a man who hated hearing the truth about himself.Dr. Mohammed said, "He wants yes men and not those who will tell him home truth, he doesn't like people like that."He wants what he says no matter how nonsensical to be accepted as gospel truth."People who had been in politics long before him will not follow him blindly. "Anybody who has association with him will tell you that the man has nothing to offer and when you are talking about politics and governance, you are talking about what you can offer. "These people were not around and he didn't look for them. He doesn't remember anybody." Related Topics: #Buhari, #Politics Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||

President Muhammadu Buhari has been charged by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Saturday to immediately sack, arrest and prosecute his minister of finance, Mrs. Kemi Adeosun for an alleged criminal forgery of her NYSC certificate.The opposition party also warned President Buhari not to provide a cover for Adeosun.Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, the spokesman of PDP, made this known in a statement in Abuja, where he stated that the revelation vindicates its stand that the Buhari Presidency is a haven of fraudsters, common thieves and persons of questionable character, adding that the recent revelation has cast a full-length dark shadow on the overall integrity of his administration.He added:"The world can now see how the Buhari Presidency has been concealing sharp practices under it. We can now see why there is humongous corruption under President Buhari's watch and why Mr. President has refused to take any concrete steps to check the sleazes in his administrations."Perhaps such 'artful dodgers' were deliberately hired and placed in revenue related agencies to perfect the pilfering of our common patrimony for interests in the Buhari Presidency."It is on this premise that PDP challenged Buhari to prove himself a man of integrity by allowing an open system-wide and independent inquest into all alleged corrupt practices in his presidency. "We challenge President Buhari to be bold to allow an open independent inquest into the exact figures amounting to the trillions of naira oil revenue earned by the nation in the last three years and how he had spent same with Mrs. Adeosun as minister of finance. "Mr. President should also allow an open inquest into his handling, with Mrs Adeosun, of all our depleted foreign financial instruments, including the Excess Crude Account (ECA), from which funds were taken without recourse to the National Assembly. "President Buhari should also allow an inquest into his administration's borrowing of over N10 trillion in 30 months, with Mrs. Adeosun as minister of finance and the purposes for which the money was used. "We challenge President Buhari to allow an inquest into the leaked memo at the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) showing N9 trillion corrupt oil contracts as well as the alleged stealing of N1.1 trillion worth of crude oil, all in a sector under his direct purview as minister of Petroleum". PDP also demanded for an open investigation into the N18 billion Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) intervention fund and the N10 billion National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) alleged to have been stolen from the Treasury Single Account (TSA) by APC officials and Presidency cabal.

| We Are The Mainstream, Original APC; Not A Faction – Buba Galadima Give Reasons Posted: 07 Jul 2018 03:13 PM PDT  The National Chairman of the Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC), Alhaji Buba Galadima, in this interview, speaks on why the formation of his group was inevitable.Your announcement concerning the formation of Reformed APC triggered a huge reaction in the polity. Why is this move coming now and what are your goals?Let me establish my credentials. I was the National Secretary of the defunct Congress for Progressive Change, one of the three parties, together with the nPDP and a faction of APGA, that formed the APC. I was one of the nine signatories to the memorandum of understanding that we signed ahead of the formation of the party. Earlier, I had been, since January 2002, one of the key operational allies of President Buhari .Our goal was to enthrone constitutional democracy, party democracy under the rule of law. Having made such monumental sacrifice for 16,17 years, we cannot sit and watch either the party in which we participated in forming or the government which I had contributed more than any living human being to bring about in Nigeria go adrift.As a patriotic citizen, we owe it a duty to our country and to the men and women including children to ensure good government. We were abundantly rewarded by God who gave us this government. Therefore, we would not allow anybody to mess us up or drag our good names and integrity in the mud. This is why we felt it is a call to duty, having seen our party which we laboured to built getting adrift. In fact, the situation became worse than that of those we campaigned to remove from office. This is the clarion call that I have answered. I put down my life to make sure that constitutional democracy is established. Once there is no rule of law, we are in a jungle. The Senate President, Speaker of the House of Representatives, the governor of Sokoto State, the heavy weights in your group, among others, were not present when you made your announcement. Only Bawu Baraje was there. Is there a reason for that, and are you all on the same page?. I am a heavy weight just like any politician in Nigeria. I was the youth leader of the NPN, the Financial Secretary of the NRC, member of Board of Trustees of the APC, and member of the National Caucus of the APC. I have impeccable credentials. Kawu Baraje was Secretary and National Chairman of the PDP. We are heavy weight enough. But during the press conference, I alluded to the fact that members of this rescue mission for democracy in our country comprise of former members of CPC, ACN ,ANPP, nPDP, and elements of APGA . And Bukola Saraki or Dogara, Kwankwaso, Aminu Tambuwal. You cited Article 20, Proviso 1 of the constitution of the APC that stipulates that when a nominee is set for an election, there must be a vote of yes or no. And you believed that the way it was done on national television, it was violated. Can you explain that? If we were to be in court, you could have been invited as one of the witnesses to tender your record of the proceedings of that convention. You cannot build something on nothing. There were infractions right from the ward congresses leading to the convention. Therefore the processes were faulty, the processes were a non-event, therefore the executives produced through these processes cannot stand legal interpretation. That is why we call ourselves the mainstream APC. We are claiming that we are the authentic leaders of this party, not usurpers who just came, used their position to influence and got themselves announced as leaders. Therefore we are members of the APC. Can you call people like Asiwaju Tinubu and President Muhammadu Buhari and Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as usurpers? Why not, if they go against the law? Was any of those you mentioned a signatory to the party as I am? We have a stake. We have staked our integrity and image, that is why the party was nationally accepted. Therefore we cannot sit back when we run counter to the law. On national television, we saw Governor Badaru, who was Chairman of the Convention Planning Committee. He asked the crowd before the nomination was accepted whether everyone agreed and the response was yes. You thought he should have also asked if they didn't agree? Of course that was what we expected. That is what we are saying. That is what we are talking about. The Constitution is explicit. When you put the question, 'do you agree?, and some people say yes, there should be a follow up question to say, who are those that do not agree? Then you evaluate which one is more by voice, that is if you are using the voice vote. It is after this that you can determine whether the man is legally approved by the convention or rejected because, during nomination, there was imposition, people were stopped from buying forms, accessing forms and attending venues that would generate delegates to the National Convention. And those people could have been more. If Badaru had asked for yes/no votes, there would have been mixed reactions. But he didn't ask for a no vote. He only asked for a yes vote. How about those who didn't respond, could he tell us the number? Kawu Baraje said he was satisfied with the outcome of the convention even though he expressed his discontent with the proceedings, but you are contradicting the statement now. If a ranking member of your group says the process was satisfactory, how do we reconcile your statement? Let me say that he has confirmed that there was only a yes question. That there was eruption of yes vote is in your own imagination. That is not correct. Why didn't he then ask whether there were people who disagreed with this affirmation? Let me make some correction. There are two ways of authenticating and approving the candidature of a person in a convention or congress. One, you use the ballot box. We agreed with him because some people pulled out on the podium there and then, we could not have printed those ballot papers, therefore we resorted to voice vote. It means the process and procedure was defective, legally. We are also questioning that right from the beginning, there were no congresses. Incidentally, it was Imo State where the executive did not participate in the congress that was now being affirmed and accepted by the national congress, that is the executive of Mr Rochas Okorocha. It never participated in the congress. Kawu Baraje, you alleged, I didn't see him. His name is Abubakar Kawu Baraje. I am Abubakar Buba Galadima. Kawu Baraje is the chairman of the newPDP. I, Abubakar Buba Galadima, an the chairman of the Reformed APC. I could not stand for him. There is speculation that this move of yours is more of desperation because you had hoped that the national convention would not hold, and your plans were scuttled the moment the tenure elongation was reversed. Let me make a correction. We are not a faction or a bloc. We are not a break-away. We are the mainstream, original APC. Without INEC registration or convention But there was no convention. Do you have a constitution as a party? We are members of APC. We are not desperate. Our desperation, if there is any, is to enthrone good governance and constitutional democracy. If there is any desperation, it is expressed on the side of those who want to contest election without facing challengers.. They are desperate. Infact, they can do anything to make sure they weed out all those areas of decent competitors that would challenge them in a free and fair primary; therefore, they are congregating their boys so that they are delivered on a platter of gold. Any democracy without competition is bound to fail. In 1999, the PDP held a stiff convention to elect its presidential candidate; so also in 2003,2007 and 2011, but, in 2015, when they had a sole presidential candidate, they lost the presidential election. So also, when we brought Buhari, there was no contest against his candidature in 2003,2007 and 2011, but he lost all the elections. And if the APC conducts any primary without competition, they are bound to lose. Is your APC going to end up with PDP? We are R-APC for now. Politics is dynamic. *Interview first aired on Channels Television Credit also to Vangaurd. Related Topics: #rAPC, #Politics Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||
| Buhari Reacts To Saraki's Supreme Court Judgement Over False Assets Declaration Posted: 07 Jul 2018 02:28 PM PDT
President Muhammadu Buhari has reacted to the Supreme Court judgement on the false Asset declaration charges brought against Bukola Saraki by the CCT, discharging and acquitting the Senate President.Buhari praised the Senate President for fighting amidst all court cases and proving he is not guilty of anything.The President disclosed this via a series of tweets he tweeted via his official Twitter handle:"Senate President @bukolasaraki has persevered through what has no doubt been a tortuous judicial process. In the end, he has established his innocence; the highest court of the land, the Supreme Court, says he is not guilty as charged.""This is exactly what I did in the three elections in which I contested, before 2015. I was cheated, and I went to court each time, a firm believer in the primacy of the rule of law. The fourth time, God made it possible for me to be victorious and emerge as President of Nigeria."

| I Warned Buhari Against Taking Over From Jonathan In 2015 – Sheikh Gumi Reveals Posted: 07 Jul 2018 02:53 AM PDT  Dr. Ahmad Abubakar Mahmud Gumi, a highly respected Islamic cleric, has disclosed how he urged President Muhammadu Buhari not to take over governance from the immediate past President Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.Dr. Ahmad Gumi said he told Buhari that he was coming to make things worse for Nigerians due to the situation on ground when he won the election.According to the cleric, he stated that his criticism of the President at that time was done in the interest of Nigerians."Our criticism of Buhari is not about being a northerner or a Muslim . It has to do with what is in the best interest of Nigerians. A leader is like a blind man. People on the ground or on the field could see what he cannot see."Preachers of religions who are apolitical are the ones that are the eyes , telling the leadership what to do or where things are going wrong. "We are like the press too, we are supposed to be neutral in our presentation of facts. Once things are not going on as they should be, it is our duty to come out to explain to the people and the government what is wrong and also proffer solutions. "Even before Buhari came, I was one of the few people that advised him that the Nigerian situation at the end of Jonathan's regime was not the best for him. He was going to make things worse, not better. "If you are bringing in a patient who has broken all his limbs to the hospital , the doctor will be concerned about whether his blood is circulating and not about his broken bones. "The doctor will not be looking at the protruding bones but those standing by will be looking and wondering why the doctor is not concerned about the bones. "The doctor is concerned about how to save the life of the patient. That is how Nigeria is. When you are concerned and obsessed with what can be fixed later, you are rather killing Nigeria. That is what I see in the government." Related Topics: #Buhari, #Politics Sharing is caring. Share this story  |
