2019: Anybody Can Challenge Buhari For APC Ticket - Bisi Akande

A former acting chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Bisi Akande, Yesterday Thursday in Ibadan said President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to inform South-west leaders of the party that he would recontest in 2019.

Mr. Akande also said that Mr. Buhari, a member of the ruling party, will have to contest with other members interested in the slot to secure the party’s nod.

Mr. Akande spoke Yesterday Thursday at the meeting of the APC South-west leaders at the executive chambers of the Oyo State governor’s office in Ibadan.

The former governor and chairman of the meeting also spoke with journalists on national issues at the end of the deliberations.

Responding to a question on whether the party would support the president’s re-election, he said the decision ”will be taken at the appropriate time and that the president hasn’t said anything about a re-run.”

“He has not told us that he is contesting again. Anybody in our party is free to become the President of Nigeria. As soon as they indicate interest, we will set a process through which a candidate is elected. If he (Buhari) is lucky to have the ticket, we will present him as our candidate.”

Missing JSS2 Female Student found in her Boyfriend's House

A 15-year-old Junior Secondary School 2 student of Agbara Commuinty Junior Secondary School, Ogun State, who was declared missing by the police, left many in shock after she was found having fun and chilling in her boyfriend's house.

The girl identified as Asmau Ajibade, went missing for seven days after she left home for school.

She lived with the guardians, Alhaji Rauf Adetona and Alhaja Ajarat Adetona, at OPIC Estate, Agbara, off Lagos-Badagry Expressway, Ogun State before she reportedly disappeared.

Ajibade it was learnt had left the house at about 7.30am in her school uniform. The belief in the house was that she had gone to school. The guardians became apprehensive when it was 4pm and she had not returned home. Record of the school reportedly revealed that she was absent that day.

According to Punch, Ajarat said the girl had been living with them since she was four years old, adding that she was surprised by her disappearance. She said it was the first time she would leave home without returning.

She said, “She went to school on Monday and has not returned. Her teachers told us that she didn’t come to school that day.

“But a cobbler around here told us that he fixed her torn sandal that morning. The cobbler said she seemed to be in a hurry as she told him that somebody was waiting for her.

“She had never done anything like this, although her teachers had told us that she was keeping bad company; and I warned her to stop associating with bad people.

“Her parents had divorced. His father died while she was six months old. She had been living with us for 11 years now. Her attitude that morning did not show that she planned to do anything.”

Rauf said he was on his farm when a call came in that Ajibade was missing. He said they were told at the school that Ajibade might have absconded with some of her school friends and the incident reported at the Agbara Police Station.

He said, “She always prepared the food she would eat at the school and did same that morning. My wife gave her money in addition to the food and she thanked Alhaja and left. I went to my farm around 9am. At about 4pm, my wife called me that Asmau (Ajibade) had not come back home.

“I told her to be patient because she came home around 3.30pm at times. When it was 5pm, she called me back and said she had gone to Asmau’s school, but she didn’t see her.

“On Tuesday, we went back to the school. The teachers at the school told us that she had become a wayward girl and had been moving with a friend who had been expelled from the school.

“We reported at the police station on our estate and we were told to come back on Wednesday if we didn’t see her.

“On Wednesday, we were directed to the Agbara Police Station. The police collected her picture from us and promised to radio other divisions. They said she might have eloped with a boy.”

However, the girl was rescued last Saturday while living with a guard identified as John who is her lover in the Agbara area of Ogun State. John was apprehended along with a cobbler, Moses who hooked the girl up with John.

One of the guardians, Alhaji Rauf Adetona, said Ajibade confessed that it was the cobbler who hooked her up with John, adding that she spent four days with the lover.

He said, “When the cobbler saw your  report on her disappearance, he informed John. When John tried to return her to the estate, she fled. She spent four days with John. We found her school uniform with John.

“A family friend saw her in Oko Afo, Badagry, and called us. She wanted to run away from him because she knows him. But the man lied to her that he would never tell us.

“They agreed to meet somewhere in the community the following day and that was how we found her.

“She took us to the house where John works as a guard and said it was Moses who hooked her up with John. The police have arrested the two of them.”

The state Police PRO, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, confirmed the arrest of John and Moses.

“The girl has been reunited with her guardians and the suspects arrested. They will be arraigned for abduction,” he added.

I Can't Take Action On Foreign Policy Investments Without Igbos – President Buhari

President Muhammadu Buhari has said allegations of under-representation of Igbos in his government were unfounded.
.

He said while he gave the South-East zone four substantive ministers, he could not take any decision on foreign policy and investments without the input of two of their sons.
.
.
According to a statement by his Special Adviser on Media, Mr. Femi Adesina, the President spoke while receiving leaders from the region led by Ike Ekweremadu, at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
.
.
He said Buhari told his guests that while seven states in the North got Ministers of State in his administration, the South East got four substantive ministers.
.
.
“I gave South-East four substantive ministers in the Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Investment, Science and Technology and Labour.
.
.
“Seven states in the North got ministers of state; and of the two ministries headed by your sons, I cannot take any decision on foreign policy and investments without their input," the President said.
.
.
Buhari also promised the leaders, comprising governors and ministers from the region, the President of Ohanaeze, Chief Nnia Nwodo, and representatives from the National Assembly, that he will visit states in the zone soon.
.
.
“I want to assure you that I came into government with a clear conscience and I will also leave with a clear conscience,’’ he said.

Tagbo’s death: Davido, police lock horns as music star faces fresh trouble

Embattled music star, David Adeleke, popularly called Davido, may be in fresh trouble with the Lagos State Police Command, which is currently investigating the death of three friends of the talented artiste in just a week. While Davido is being quizzed as a principal suspect, though with no concrete evidence to nail him yet, his statement to the police on Wednesday at the command headquarters in Ikeja may have worsened his case and weakened his line of defence.

Tongues have been wagging following reports of three deaths in just one week. Aside Tagbo Omieke, two other associates of the singer, Olugbenga Abiodun (DJ Olu), 25, and Chime Amaechi were found lifeless in Olu’s BMW car, parked in the underground garage of Block B, Banana Island, Lagos last Saturday, three days after Tagbo’s death.

The question now is, who committed the triple murders? Is Davido innocent or guilty? Or is someone trying to set him up? How could he lose three friends in the space of one week in very dramatic circumstances? Sources reveal that detectives are making frantic efforts to unravel the mystery surrounding the deaths. Even before they finally uncover the mystery, the state Commissioner of Police, Edgal Imohimi, is not happy that Davido was unruly while giving his statement to the police on Wednesday.

Police sources further told Saturday Sun that CP Imohimi is now holding Davido’s statement that he didn’t know anything about Tagbo’s death against him because his aides actually took the deceased to the hospital as allegedly instructed by the singer. The latest twist was said to have infuriated the police boss as a result of which he has accused Davido of lying to the police. “Lying in a serious murder case like this has its consequences and has further raised further questions about Davido’s innocence”, a police source told this paper yesterday.
However, other suspects in the case were said to still be in police custody, pending the completion of the process and so that they can aid detectives in their investigations. It was also learnt that Davido was advised to make himself available any time his attention was needed, a request he freely consented to.

The new front in the case was opened when the police debunked Davido’s explanation of what happened on the night Tagbo Omieke died declaring that the musician gave his boys instructions to dump the body of late Tagbo at a General Hospital in Lagos after autopsy reports emerged that Tagbo was suffocated to death and did not die of alcohol poisoning according to a bogus autopsy report that trended online earlier.

Consequently, the Lagos State Police Command are treating Tagbo’s death as a homicide and has yesterday transferred the case to State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, for further investigations.

Speaking on the matter, the Lagos police boss, Imohimi, said at a press briefing: “He has been re-invited for questioning because he lied that he only knew of Tagbo’s demise while he was at DNA nightclub, in Victoria Island, a claim that has been found to be untrue. On October 3, around 9:20p.m. the Chief Security Officer (CSO) of General Hospital Lagos, Oparanti Moshood alerted the Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Lion Building that an unidentified male was brought in dead in an ash colour Toyota Camry Saloon car marked LSD378EL by two unidentified males.”

According to him, Tagbo was identified by his international passport found in the deceased’s car. He said: “Davido had told the police he had left Shisha Bar for DNA Nite Club in Victoria Island without the deceased and was only informed by mutual friends of his death while he was at DNA. However, investigation revealed that Davido’s white Toyota Hilux escort driver, Tunde Yusuf, accompanied by Agbeje Olaoye and Idris Busari, both Davido’s friends, took the deceased to the General Hospital Lagos and abandoned him in his vehicle on the instruction of Davido.

“The CCTV footage at the hospital picked the escort vehicle and the entire activity. The vehicle was recovered from Davido’s residence at 7, Awoshika Street, Lekki Phase 1. This completely debunks Davido’s claim that he did not know how the deceased got to the General Hospital. The interim autopsy report stated that the victim died of Asphyxia.”
On the cause of death of two other Davido’s friends who were found dead inside a BMW car marked KJA631AY, Imohimi said the autopsy had not been concluded.

Meanwhile, the family of Tagbo has reacted stating that there was more to his death.

Mrs. Oraka, speaking on behalf of the Omeike family said: “We, the family of Tagbo Ifeatuchukwu Umeike, received the shocking news of the passing on of our brother on October 3 at about 8:55p.m., several hours after his demise. Since his passing, there have been several stories making the rounds, especially on social media, regarding Tagbo’s personality and the circumstances concerning his death. Tagbo looked out for everyone and had a big heart; he was a friend to all and loved by many. Evidence received so far suggests that there is more to his death and we, as a family, will ensure that the truth regarding the circumstances of his passing will be brought to light.”

Thanking the Lagos State Police Command, she said that the family was pleased because they now have a clearer picture of the events leading up to Tagbo’s untimely demise. “

However, Davido’s lawyer, Norrison Quakers (SAN), in a statement entitled: The Unfortunate Death of Tagbo Umeike; Davido’s Story, stated that contrary to the CP’s statement, his client had no case to answer as he was innocent. He also stated that at no time was Davido arrested.

The statement reads in part: “The said publications have all caused our client, Davido, a lot of undue embarrassment thus necessitating the need to present the facts as they stand, since the unfortunate incident is now in the public domain. First of all we wish to state that our client was never arrested but rather made himself available to assist the police in its investigation and after a satisfactory explanation, he was allowed to go.

“It is imperative to state that the evidence and footage available to the police discloses the chain of events leading to the discovery of the remains of Mr. Tagbo Umeike do not in any way incriminate our client, but rather absolves him of any criminal culpability; a fact that the police is aware of. “

For the records, we wish to state that our client has not been found culpable for the death of Mr. Tagbo Umeike, and this was earlier communicated by the police in a closed meeting involving the Acting Commissioner of Police, Lagos, Davido, the family of the deceased and one Caroline Danjuma, who claims to be girlfriend of the deceased.
“Our client was also not involved in the untimely death of the deceased, nor did he give any instructions to anyone to ‘dump’ the corpse of Mr. Tagbo Umeike anywhere. Further, and as a matter of fact, we wish to state that the deceased did not step a foot, even for a second, in any of our client’s vehicles on the evening of this sad series of events.”

The lawyer argued that the CCTV footage obtained from ‘Shisha Room’ does not in anyway implicate Davido, insisting that the artiste only knew of Tagbo’s death later when he was at DNA Nite Club.

World Bank statement on Northeast twisted by mischief-makers – Presidency

The Presidency has described as mischievous and deliberate twisting of facts the news item credited to the World Bank Group President, Jim Yong Kim, who disclosed in Washington DC, United States of America, that President Muhammadu Buhari had requested a concentration of the Bank’s intervention efforts in the northern part of Nigeria, particularly in the North-east.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, in a statement accused those behind the news of twisting everything for their vile purposes, and painting Buhari as giving an unfair advantage over other parts of Nigeria.

Kim, said on Thursday that the bank had concentrated on the northern region of Nigeria in line with President Buhari’s request.

Kim and the Managing Director, International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, who spoke at separate press conferences in Washington DC, United States, also advised Buhari to invest in things that would enhance economic growth.

He explained that Buhari, right from his first week in office in June, 2015, had reached out to the G-7 in Germany that Nigeria needed help to rebuild the North-east, which had been terribly devastated by insurgency.

He said the President had told the leaders that the country would prefer help in terms of rebuilding of infrastructure, rather than cash donation, which may end up being misappropriated. He added that in concert with governors of the region, a comprehensive list of needed repairs was sent to the G-7 leaders.

“Those ululating over the disclosure by the President of the World Bank should be a bit reflective, and consider the ravages that the North-east has suffered since 2009, when the Boko Haram insurgency started. Schools, hospitals, homes, entire villages, towns, cities, bridges, and other public utilities have been blown up, laid waste, and lives terminated in excess of 20,000, while widows and orphans littered the landscape. The humanitarian crisis was in monumental proportions.

“President Buhari simply did what a caring leader should do. He took the battle to the insurgents, broke their backs, and then sought for help to rebuild, so that the people could have their lives back. Should that then elicit the negative commentary that has trailed the disclosure from the World Bank? Not at all, except from insidious minds.

“President Buhari has a pan-Nigerian mandate, and he will discharge his duties and responsibilities in like manner. Any part of the country that requires special attention would receive it, irrespective of primordial affinities, which narrow minded people have not been able to live above. This President will always work in the best interest of all parts of the country at all times. Let ethnic warriors sheathe their swords”, he added.

Fayose should be allowed to contest in 2019 — Ladoja .

FORMER governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja has urged the leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) not to stop Ekiti State Governor,
Ayodele Fayose, from contesting for presidency in 2019, saying it is the governor’s fundamental human right to contest for the nation’s number one seat.
.
.
Ladoja, who visited Fayose at the Governor’s Office in Ado-Ekiti, yesterday, said Fayose is eminently qualified to contest for the presidency in 2019, stressing that no one should stop him.
.
.
“Govenor Fayose is my own brother and he is a go-getter. Whatever he sets his mind to achieve, he goes for it and he gets it. He is eminently qualified and possesses all the leadership capabilities to rule Nigeria and take us out of the woods.
.
.
“Some people in the PDP have said that they have zoned the presidency to the North, but it is left for Fayose to convince members of the PDP to support his presidential ambition. He is fit for it judging from his antecedents as a quintessential leader in the country. I also want to advise the party leadership to use zoning of the presidency in a way that would guarantee the PDP winning the election in 2019 and not as a way of favouring some individuals who may not be ready for the job and to give the great party victory at the election,” Ladoja said.
.
.
The ex-governor, who hinted that he was about to return to the PDP, also told the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ekiti State to perish the thought of taking over power from the PDP in 2018.
.
.
He said: “Fayose has performed excellently well in governing Ekiti. There is no governor in this country today that can beat his chest two times and say my state came top for two consecutive times in NECO.
.
.
Fayose, as a political enigma cannot be uprooted in Ekiti based on his good governance, transparency and the many good projects he is embarking on in the state and which adorns the landscape of the Fountain of Knowledge. I therefore advise the APC to forget Ekiti in 2018, as Ekiti people would not like to leave Fayose because of his good works.”

Edo govt recognises only NURTW, RTEAN — Deputy Gov

The Edo State government announced at the weekend that it recognises only two unions in the transport sector — the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) and Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria (RTEAN).
.
.
The Deputy Governor of the state, Philip Shuaibu, who disclosed this following a peace move by the RTEAN, urged the unions to go about their activities peacefully.
Shuaibu also told journalists after presiding over the meeting of the state’s Revenue Committee on Local Government Councils’ Uniform and Harmonised Levies, Fees, Rates and Charges, said that government was mindful of the rights of its people to freedom of association.
.
.
He explained that the government introduced the harmonised levies and streamlined the unions in accordance with the plan of the administration to give Edo a modern city status and boost the revenue base of the councils.
.
.
He called on commercial drivers in the state not to allow themselves to be used to foment trouble as government remains committed to maintaining peace and order in the state, warning that government would not hesitate to ban any union whose members’ activities constitute threats to peace and order in the state.
.
.
The Deputy Governor advised drivers to liaise with their union’s leaders on any issue, saying that unionism remains a right to freedom of association and guarantees the welfare of members.
.
.
“I don’t think it will be in their interest if any of the unions is proscribed by government, which means they will not have any union to cater for their welfare or speak for them,” Shaibu said.
.
.
According to him, the idea of the new tax regime was as a result of the inability of the local councils to meet up with their statutory obligations to the people.

Neymar Asks UEFA To Expel Barcelona From Champions League Over (See His Reasons)

Neymar “asked Uefa to expel Barcelona from the Champions League” after they failed to honour a £23million loyalty payment, according to reports in Spain.

AS believe the Brazilian star was advised by his lawyers to take the extreme action.

Neymar joined Paris Saint-Germain from Barca in a world-record shattering £198million deal this summer, clearly on bad terms.

However, despite the player’s plea, Uefa were reportedly quick to snub the Brazil forward’s request.

Meanwhile, director at the La Liga giants, Raul Sanllehi, has officially left the club.

Sanllehi played a vital role in bringing Neymar to Spain four years ago, but has now left.

Spanish newspaper Marca claim he has done so “on his own volition” but was “upset and frustrated” when Neymar stormed out of the Nou Camp.

Big-spending PSG also face a Champions League dilemma of their own, according to El Pais.

The Spanish outlet claim the Ligue 1 giants may be forced to sell eight players or face expulsion from Europe’s elite competition over breach of Financial Fair Play regulations.

Angel Di Maria, Javier Pastore, Blaise Matuidi, Lucas Moura, Julian Draxler, Hatem Ben Arfa and Thiago Silva are now expected to leave in January.

.
After the video was played at the wedding, the ’embarrassed’ and ‘humiliated’ bride is said to have run out of the wedding hall.

Unbelievable: The Number of Dead Bodies Recovered From Lagos Water Bodies Every Day Will Shock You

It has been revealed that between 10 and 20 corpses are recovered from Lagos water bodies on daily basis in Lagos.

The Marine Police in Lagos made the revelation on Thursday.
PM News reports that a State Marine Police Officer, Ufuomanefe Akusu, revealed this in Ikoyi, Lagos during a stakeholders forum by the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA), themed ‘The Role of Water Transportation in the Development of an Integrated Transportation System in Lagos.’

He said the state’s waterways had been experiencing turbulent period in recent time and that pragmatic efforts must be put in place to salvage the situation.

Akusu revealed that two days ago, a boat with eight passengers capsized on Lagos waterways, but noted that the Marine police were able to rescue the passengers due to prompt intervention.

He added that on Wednesday, another boat capsized on the Lagos Lagoon and that the prompt intervention of the Marine Police also saved the day as the passengers were rescued.

Akusu said the Marine Police boats were scattered everywhere on the Lagos Lagoon to attend to emergency and protect the waterways from pirate, adding that the police had fast moving boats to attend to emergency on water.

He appealed to Lagosians to always give prompt information to the Marine Police for prompt action and also urged boat owners to ensure that they did not overload their boats.

He was however happy that the equipping of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) by Governor Akinwunmi Ambode to tackle emergencies on Lagos waterways through the acquisition of rescue boats and skid jets, had not only helped LASEMA to be able to respond and carry out emergency operations on water but also at record time.

Akusu also believed that would greatly help to complement the efforts of marine police in rescue operation.

The Managing Director of LASWA, Mr Oluwadamilola Emmanuel, reacting to the comment of corpses being recovered from Lagos waters, said it was the reason his agency had been clamoring for the use of standard boats by boat operators.

2019: INEC Declares Fayose’s Campaign Illegal

INEC has faulted the early presidential campaign embarked on by a People’s Democratic Party chieftain, Governor Ayodele Fayose.
.
.
The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has warned politicians and political parties to stop campaign, ahead of the 2019 general elections.
.
.
He said the ban on campaign was still on and until it was lifted, it was illegal for any party or politician to commence campaign. Yakubu stated this at the quarterly Consultative Meeting with the media in Abuja on Tuesday.
.
.
Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose, had last Thursday declared his intention to vie for the presidency in 2019, contrary to Section 99 of the Electoral Act 201 (as amended).
.
.
The section says: “For the purpose of this Act, the period of campaigning in public by every political party shall commence 90 days before polling day.”
.
.
But the INEC chairman warned politicians and political parties against jumping the gun.
.
.
Yakubu said: “We want to draw the attention of political parties and candidates that are already going round the country campaigning for 2019 that INEC, the only agency responsible for the release of timetable and schedule of activities, hasn’t done so.
.
.
And anything that anybody does is illegal under the law. We should wait for the timetable for the campaign.
.
.
“The release of timetable does not mean the commencement of campaign.”
