| Presidency May Reverse DSS Reshuffle, Ex-DG Daura Likely To Be Recalled Posted: 03 Sep 2018 04:53 PM PDT
Mr. Lawal Daura, the sacked Director General of the Department of State Services (DSS), may likely return to his former post following new developments within the presidency.There had been speculations in recent weeks that some powerful persons were pressuring President Muhammadu Buhari to recall Daura.It could be recalled that the vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, then acting President, had sacked Daura in August after the seige on National Assembly by the DSS, which triggered outrage locally and internationally.A top security source close to the presidency and conversant with the new development told PRNigeria that plans are afoot to reverse the various reorganisations embarked upon by the new Acting DSS boss, Mathew Seiyefa.According to the source: "The presidency is not happy with some recent deployment by the acting Director General of DSS, Mathew Seiyefa especially the redeployment of Director of DSS in Kano, Alhassan Muhammad to the Headquarters in Abuja and the deployment of Director Operations at the Headquarters, Mr. Godwin Bassey Eteng who was moved to the Institute of Security Studies, Abuja as Director. And the posting of another officer from Kebbi to serve as the Chief of Staff to the DG in Abuja. "The recent reorganisations which the new DSS chief has initiated include but not limited to postings of directors from headquarters to states and vice-versa. Others include reorganisation within the headquarters, postings across the various government agencies, and postings among the rank and file. Over 30 officers at all levels and cadres are affected in the reorganisation." "The impending reversal of the reorganisation is to maintain the status quo hitherto left by the erstwhile DSS boss Daura to pave way for his likely return following what the source revealed as a clean bill of health given to him or for a new replacement that will be very loyal to the Presidency and the government of the ruling party." The likely recall of the former DSS boss, Lawal Daura is a time bomb set to trigger wide condemnation. A few days ago, the embattled Katsina-born Daura finally spoke on his ordeal. He made three declarations: (i) That he took all actions in national interest through a collective responsibility, including involvement of principal officers of sister agencies; (ii) that he acted on a higher authority which he relied on to deploy agents at the National Assembly; (iii) that the report submitted by the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Idris Ibrahim, was totally incorrect. Earlier, in his interim investigation report submitted to Osinbajo, the IGP noted that Daura confessed that he deployed hooded operatives of DSS, to the Federal Legislative complex based on intelligence report that unauthorized persons were planning to smuggle in dangerous weapons and incriminating items. "The former Director-General, Department of State Security Services, DSS, Lawal Daura, acted unilaterally, without informing the Presidency. He did not share or intimate other Security Agencies on the unlawful operations", Idris wrote in the report. Related Topics: #DSS, #LawalDaura, #Politics Sharing is caring. Share this story  | ||

| Tinubu States Reasons APC Governors Protested Against Him At NEC Meeting Posted: 03 Sep 2018 10:06 AM PDT
Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, has refuted the report that he was denied entry at the Thursday NEC meeting of the party by the governors.Media reports reported that Tinubu who was seen at the venue of the NEC meeting was said to have been denied access by governors over his position on the use of direct primary which is not in their favour.READ ALSO: Meet Godfathers in political battles with their Godsons - 2019 Election LoadingMr. Tunde Rahman, Bola Tinubu's media aide in a statement said his principal was only at the party secretariat, venue of the NEC meeting because he had an appointment with the APC National Chairman.Tunde said some governors who were not comfortable with the direct primary model protested his presence, thinking he had come to drum up support.His statement reads: "Asiwaju (Bola Tinubu) did not attend nor made to attend the NEC meeting. Let me set the record straight for the sake of those who may unknowingly believe the lie set as truth for selfish political reasons. Asiwaju is not a member of NEC because he did not feel he should be ab initio. "If he had wanted he could have chosen even the lowly one by being an ex-officio member and no one could have stopped him then. He never attended any NEC meeting before now and won't make to attend any now. READ ALSO: BREAKING: Presidency Reacts To Rumours Of Ambode Decamping To PDP From APC "Truth he had an early morning appointment with the Chairman, Oshiomhole. As he made to leave the party secretariat that Thursday, President Buhari arrived for the NEC meeting. He waited, received the president, saw him enter for the NEC meeting and left. "But some of those governors who, afraid of their own shadows and possible nemesis by engaging with the generality of their party members at open primaries, are averse to direct primaries, felt Asiwaju had chosen to attend the meeting to canvass support for the model."

Today, I'm hereby announcing my candidacy for President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The 2019 presidential election will either save Nigeria or speed up its democratic self-destruction. My declaration today is a threshold moment in our politics opening the door for anyone to run or at least think about it, who might not have before.Our history shows Nigerian presidency is for the unintelligent, the unprepared, the corrupt, for looters, thieves, and despicable politicians. Nigerian voters believe being qualified for the presidency is not a qualification which is why people like me is running. Our history also shows you can attain the presidency if you are dumb, clueless, crude, corrupt, and of course if you're a criminal. Visionary candidates with moral probity, intellectual capacity, and capability don't win elections in our political climate.On the contrary, imbeciles, potty-mouthed, corrupt candidates, without saying anything coherent or even intelligible are favoured to win. Because democracy is the only really amusing form of government, that is why is possible for a person like me to run and even win. This is agreeably accurate description of where we find ourselves today. It suggests why a thief, a shameless con artist with no moral value is much preferred for the presidency. I don't have the morals. I don't have the integrity. I don't have the honesty. I don't have the intelligence. But I have 180 million dumb Nigerians who will vote for me and elect me as the next president of Nigeria in 2019.Sadly, Nigeria is a failed state. But when I become president, I'll revive it. I'll make it better and stronger. Our country is in serious trouble. We need armed robbers, thieves, kidnappers, political assassins, and other criminals to bring back Nigeria, hence I'm the most qualified for the job.I'm the most successful criminal ever to run for the presidency by far. I know I'll win. I would win. Hands down. I would win. I'm the foundation this traumatized and troubled, lawless, disorderly, chaotic, corrupted, and crisis ridden nation needs at this particular time. My eight years as Kwara State Governor witnessed unprecedented corruption and more importantly, the pulverization of Kwara people. My tenure as Senate President was marked by forgery, scandals, fraud, looting, corruption. Lest you forget, I was also responsible for the liquidation of two or three banks with millions of depositors money unrecovered. Combating poverty, providing healthcare, creating jobs, providing quality education, ensuring safety and security of our people are not of importance to me. Because in the Nigerian politics, the rich and the privileged have their own priorities and different socioeconomic and political agendas. As 2019 looms large, we as a nation have come to this: a choice between murderers and kidnappers, a choice between criminals and cowards, a choice between fools and idiots, a choice between armed robbers and robber barons. I'm happy to observe that images of relief and joy have been uploaded into your collective psyche as I announced my candidacy today. Here's how my presidency will be defined: Nigeria's political Armageddon stares us in the face with great trepidation. The time capsule of life for Nigerians will be between intensely bitter taste and disgust. Nigerians will be pushed further to the nadir of main indices of quality of life. Corruption will escalate and make life more miserable and unbearable for our people. The frenzy for corruption will assume a more demonic crave. The 180 million dumb Nigerians who will vote me into office will continue to be kept in the dark, uneducated, uninformed, hopeless and helpless. Nigerians will continue to live in abject poverty, hunger, and disease. Greed, filth, and viciousness will continue to be the norm. Ruined cities and towns will compete for a place in the refuse dunghill. Social decay will reign like we have never experienced before. The ruling class will expand and extend plundering, looting, wickedness and terrorism, while the poor will live in penury and sedated with crumbs, fears, propaganda and lies and will remain too docile to rebel or revolt. Ethnic acrimonious rancor, violence, hatred, division, and subversion of democracy and justice with bloodletting politics will provide the minefield for thugs and hooligans like Dino Melaye and other detestable pimps of Nigerian politics. Corruption of the ruling class will crush the working class. All power and economic privilege will reside and remain with the oppressive ruling class, their cronies, friends, and families. I cannot remind you too often that the leopard doesn't change it's colors. I have not changed a bit. With greater frequency and audacity, my presidency will foster moral and political debauchery, corruption, and confusion. My presidency will take misgovernance and incompetence to dizzying levels of raw candor with revolutionary zeal. My presidency will be paralyzed with conflicts and crisis. It will have problem with futility – no good will come from a right decision. As usual, the presidency will look out for its own - the rich. Nigerians will be imprisoned by fear and preoccupied with survival. My administration will exhibit bizarre antics and unrestrained behavior. We'll see endless parade of swindlers, con men and con women, crooks, and charlatans, the country ever witnessed. Nigerians will become butlers to wait on every command of the hapless president. Number of scams and scandals in my administration will skyrocket and will defy explanation or description. Moral failure, financial chicanery, blatant injustice, lawlessness, will become deeper and dirtier. There will be exponential mass poverty, squalor, suffering, oppression, political assassination, suppression of justice and press freedom will be on the rise. Sick Nigerians will be treated as criminals while thieves in government will continue to be ferried to foreign hospitals for treatment. Nigeria will be a country of decay and squeezed morals buried under tremendous pressure of shame and greed. And much more. Well, we cannot prepare for a future we cannot project or predict. As your president, you will not be able to predict the future of Nigeria. In my administration, Nigeria will be thrown into a national funeral which no one will attend. This is a call for action. The time is now. Let's come together as a nation, and as a people. Let's join hands together in this historic journey into the unknown. Let's make Nigeria three separate, hostile, and unequal nation: Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo. Let's roll our sleeves and get to work! God bless Nigeria!
