Yusuf Magaji Bichi's appointment, as the new Director-General of the Department of Security Service, DSS by President Muhammadu Buhar, has attracted criticisms as Southern and Middle Belt Leaders, rejects the appointment.According to media reports, the group in a statement signed jointly by their leaders, Chief E.K Clark (South South) Chief Ayo Adebanjo (South West), Chief John Nwodo (South East) and Dr. Bitrus Pogu (Middle Belt), rejected the appointment of Magaji, saying the new DSS DG does not come near removed Acting DG, Matthew Seiyefa in terms of experience and qualifications."The outright disregard for the conditions precedent for a united Nigeria and an inclusive country which President Buhari has become well known for was taken to a new height this evening with the removal of the Acting DG of DSS, Mr. Matthew Seiyefa and replacement with Mr. Yusuf Magaji Bichi from Kano"."The I-don't-care and in-your-face attitude of the President in restoring Nigeria security architecture to the provocative situation of having 16 out of 17 service chiefs from his corner of the country is a clear demonstration of the fact that Nigeria for General Muhammadu Buhari is no more than his section of Nigeria and the resources and the constitutionally mandatory votes from other sections of the country"."Since 1960, Nigeria has never had a leader more sectional, narrow, parochial ,and tribalistic like the current President who went on a global stage to divide Nigeria into "97 % and 5%". "We have looked critically at the profiles of the Acting DG, who was removed and the one Buhari just appointed and it is crystal clear that Bichi does not come with any experience close to that of Seiyefa. "The only qualification for this appointment is therefore only the rabid nepotism of the President which has seen him always masking personal and sectional interest as "national interest. READ ALSO: President Buhari Appoints New Director-General Of DSS "Besides, Bichi is an out-of-the -system man drafted by Mr Lawan Daura in the days of his nepotism rule at the DSS. The next six most senior persons in line of succession at the DSS after Seiyefa are from our findings are all southerners which may explain why the President picked a man who already retired from the DSS to lead because of ethnic affinity "That the President went ahead to deep himself further into the cocoon of ethnic irredentism in making this insensitive appointment shows clearly that he does not care a hoot about the unity, cohesion and oneness of Nigeria "We reject this appointment and we do not shy in telling Mr. President that he no longer pretends that the country is one under him. "In the last few days, there have been fears coming from the international community about the dangers that would come the way of Nigeria if Mr. President returns for another term. With his latest action, we add that the country is not safe in the remainder of his first term. "Lastly we ask, Mr President, Are we still one county?"

Some microscopic-view individuals hijacked all that God endowed Nigeria with for decent life, and we can't continue like this. I climbed up for seven days hunger strike to protest the incompetence and cluelessness, to protest presidential impunity and general docility displayed by the masses. We can't continue like this. "Other competent candidates are there; even Saraki, Atiku, Kwankwaso, Tambuwal, Dankwambo and others. At least one of these [men] will make a good President. "I don't believe General Buhari deserves another four-year term in Nigeria because the pervasive hunger and poverty in Nigeria is inexplicable. I don't have mental disorder as being insinuated by some people."  He said he came down because some lawyers spoke to him while he was on the mast. He was later taken away by security operatives. Ilyasu climbed a mast with the approval number AB0099 belonging to Airtel Nigeria, located few metres away from the presidential villa and Lungi Army Barracks, on Wednesday.

| Femi Otedola Is Asiwaju Tinubu’s Bait, Give Ambode Automatic Ticket – PDP Youths Tell Party Posted: 13 Sep 2018 05:32 AM PDT
New Youth Circuit, a group under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has urged the party's leadership to field Lagos State Governor, Akinwumi Ambode, as its automatic candidate ahead of the 2019 elections in the state.According to Daily Post, the group made the call in Abuja on Wednesday, following the reports of a feud between Ambode and APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, which has seen the party's leader reportedly backing another candidate in the race.The group's spokesperson, Williams Oladipo, also made exceptions to reports that PDP has offered their automatic ticket to the Chairman of Forte Oil Plc, Femi Otedola.Oladipo alleged that Femi Otedola was Tinubu's alternative candidate and that he has decided to use him as a bait, to lure the cash strapped party in the state."Ambode should be embraced by the PDP. Having the governor of Nigeria's most important state will bolster our party's chances in the 2019 general elections as we seek to remove the failed government of Muhammadu Buhari. "The party must not throw away this chance to consolidate its effort to take back power in 2019. "Ambode will bring people and a government machinery behind him, that is what we need now," he said.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Anambra State Secretariat, located at Udoka Estate in Awka, has been cordoned by the Anambra Police Command.The Police Public Relations Officer of the Command, Mr Haruna Mohammed, said the cordoning of the secretariat was due to fracas that erupted earlier in the day and to avert further breakdown of law and order."The police would take control of the area until when normalcy returns," he said.The PPRO denied the allegation that some of the protesters and their supporters were brutalised by thugs and some policemen.Mr Ndubuisi Durkins, Assistant Legal Adviser of the party, who led the protest, had claimed that some of their members were injured.Durkins said the cause of their protest was the imposition of a caretaker leadership on them by the national hierarchy of the party, in spite of a substantive court judgement that annulled the arrangement. Mr. Ndubuisi Nwobu, the caretaker chairman, while addressing reporters, described the protest as a plan by the opposition to sabotage PDP chances in the 2019 general elections in Anambra.
