Nationwide Protest!!! Dying Buhari Receives 2-Weeks Ultimatum To Vacate Office, Osinbajo Set To Be Sworn-In

A group operating under the umbrella of Concerned Nigerians, has given President Muhammadu Buhari, 2 weeks ultimatum to return to Nigeria and vacate his office, or face mass protest that has been slated for March 18.

Recall, that Buhari had been on an indefinite medical vacation to the United Kingdom, UK, since January 19.
The statement signed on Sunday by the leader of the group, Deji Adeyanju, reads:
“Today – March 5, 2017 – marks 46 days of President Muhammadu Buhari’s absence from his office as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, and from the country as a whole on a medical vacation in the United Kingdom. During this period, he has not made any public appearances and has only clandestinely “communicated” with very few people.
“Furthermore, details of President Buhari’s health status have been kept away from the generality of Nigerians, while his media team and other members of his cabinet/party make conflicting comments regarding his health.
“We acknowledge that during this period, President Buhari has satisfied constitutional requirements by transmitting letters to the National Assembly, handing power over to his Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, on an acting capacity.
“However, during this period President Buhari has created a constitutional dilemma by carrying out official functions. On February 13, 2017, in a capacity as President of Nigeria, he spoke to President Donald Trump of the United States with respect to bilateral relations between the two countries.

“On Thursday March 2nd, 2017 again in a capacity as President of Nigeria President Buhari spoke to the King of Morocco with respect to bilateral relations between the two countries as well as Morocco’s application to become a member of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
“These actions, as well as President Buhari’s continued vacation, constitute a constitutional dilemma capable of destabilising the country. President Buhari’s insistence on performing the functions of President after having transmitted power to Acting  President Osinbajo in effect creates de-facto and de-jure, which does not bode well for the country.

“To this end, we urge President Buhari to return to the country on or before the 60th day after which he left the country (15 days from today) failing which we will begin a series of peaceful processions across the country aimed at sensitizing the public as to the legal & constitutional dilemma created by President Buhari’s continued absence from office and his insistence on performing official functions while away.”
The fresh ultimatum comes on the heels of an earlier one issued by the Save Nigeria Group, SNG, which called on the Presidency, through the office of Attorney-General of the Federation, AGF, to within 74 hours disclose to Nigerians what was ailing Buhari.
Post-Nigeria recalled, that in its February 8 letter, entitled: “Request for information on President Muhammadu Buhari’s health status”, the SNG had also threatened to take all necessary legitimate and legal steps should their request be ignored
The SNG’s ultimatum has since expired without any signs that the group may have proceeded with its threats.
The SNG was among the several groups that led the popular push to have the then Vice President, Goodluck Jonathan, to be made substantive Head of State, when it became rather too obvious that ailing President Musa Yar’Adua, would not be fit to return to power.

Acting President Osinbajo Is Not A ‘Nigerian’ – DELSU Lecturer (Must Read)

After watching the Acting President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo in Benin City, Edo State, on TV live during his fact finding meeting with the good people of Edo state, I realised that he is totally not a Nigerian.

He listened to all speakers with rapt attention and concentrated interest. One could see him practically and personally experiencing the pains of the abandoned and raped people of the Niger Delta. Even when there was a mini riot in the hall he remained calmed and probably prayerful as an ordained man of God.
If the mild drama of mini riot that played out in the hall had happened in a situation where even a local government chairman was in charge, the chairman would have ordered the security men to shoot at sight.
If the person in charge was a state governor or a President, he would have ordered a massive arrest and inglorious shot at perception and at sight, but the learned and erudite scholar and legal luminary of international acclaim did not do any of that. Rather when he responded he said he equally shared the grievance of the aggrieved Niger Delta people. This is un-Nigerian.

For a leader to share in the pains of the people and not to deal with them for daring to engage in mini riot in his presence shows that the goddess of pride, the delusion grandeur and megalomania tendency usually associated with the average Nigerian leader at virtually all levels are not in the Acting President. For him to order all the oil companies to move their headquarters to the Niger Delta is a wonderful act of justice and healing of the age long injury inflicted on the Niger Delta people.
That he visited the Niger Delta states differently and interacted directly with the people and even visited the creeks to personally access the horrible situation is worth more than commendation. No Nigerian leader at his level has acted like this.
This is the reason I doubt if Acting President Yemi Osibanjo, SAN, is a Nigerian. Probably he is a Moses in the making to the Niger Delta people.

EXPOSED!! How Obasanjo Threatened Me Over Money – Ali Baba Reveals

Ace comedian, Ali Baba has recalled how former president, Olusegun Obasanjo ‘threatened’ him over money.
The comedian noted that the ‘threats’ started sometime in 2015 when OBJ discovered how much he was paid to perform at events.

According to him, OBJ usually linked him up with events and would ask for ‘his cut’ and threatened him if he did not give him his share.
On his Instagram page@alibabagcfr, the ace comedian wrote:
“My first contact with #PresidentObasanjo was in 2000.
“He took to me because he found my jokes funny. He however never hid his anger at how much I got paid for events.
“The truth was that when Baba was told I charged half a million, it was actually a million.
“Can you imagine if he knew how much it really was? I for go jail.

“All through 2000 he never knew how much I was paid until the National Honours when he found out how much I got every time I came to the Villa.
“So from then on everyone told him I was performing for free. Well not until 2005, when he found out how much I got, he asked me to justify my fee and I did.

“Baba became my number one agent. Every State that wanted him to visit, he would say, make sure you call Ali Baba ooo. And he will get his aides to tell me ahead.
“On arrival at such events, Baba will ask for his cut and threaten me if I did not give him his share. I never did.

Just In!! Why Ndigbo Will Never Produce Nigeria’s President – Uwazuruike

Leader of Biafra Independence Movement, BIM, and founder of Movement for Actualization of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike has called on the Igbo political class to bury the idea of having an Igbo man as Nigeria’s next president in the face of the current Northern conspiracy against them.

The Biafra agitator recalled that the same level of conspiracy was used to truncate the presidential ambition of some prominent Igbo personalities such as former vice president, Dr. Alex Ekwueme, and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, a trustee of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

Uwazuruike was reacting to a recent statement credited to Ekwueme where he asked Ndigbo to ‎work for an Igbo president come 2019.

A statement issued yesterday by the Biafra Director of Information, Mazi Chris Mocha at Umuaka in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo state, quoted Uwazuruike as sympathizing with Ekwueme and other Igbo leaders “who had in the past put up relentless fight, courage and determination to become president but failed to realize such an ambition, just because they were victims of the civil war which ended on the note of reconciliation, reconstruction and rehabilitation but turned out to be retaliation, isolation and maximum hatred for Ndigbo.”

Ekwueme had said that: “I was Vice President until December 1983 and going by the old NPN order, I would have contested for the number one position in 1987, but the military intervened in 1983 and the civilian regime was cut short. I tried again in 1998 and Obasanjo was released from prison and he came and won, supported by his colleaques in the military. I tried again in 2003 and the same thing happened.


”I therefore pray that the other people (Igbo) can take it up from there and make progress”.

Uwazurike reminded Ekwueme and Iwuanyanwu how their efforts to emerge as Presidential candidates of their various political parties were thwarted when two Igbo sons were sponsored by the Peoples Demoratic Party, PDP and All Peoples Party, APP, to frustrate the chances of Ndigbo to produce a Presidential candidate.

According to him, “the anger which led me to demand the resuscitation of Biafra republic had to do with the soiled relationship between Ndigbo and the rest of Nigerians since the January 15, 1966 Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu-led military coup.

“The Hausa/Fulani and Yoruba conspiracy against Ndigbo is real and that was why the former Defence Minister, Gen. Theophilus Danjuma (retd) could also not hide his own feeling and hatred for Ndigbo when he made an open declaration that he would go into exile than allow Dr. Ekwueme to be President of Nigeria.

“Through MASSOB/BIM, the world has heard clearly the marginalized voice of the Igbo man which wasonly heard in quiet, grumbling and murmuring tone before I started the struggle for Biafra in 1999 and today, the world is waiting for the emergence of the new Biafra Nation.

“Through me, the world which probably thought that all was well with Ndigbo in Nigeria now knows the Prison wall of injustice the Igbo man is hemmed in Nigeria.

“My observation is that if the American fathers of Independence who fought the British colonialism status quo in 1775, had allowed themselves to be derailed out of their vision through patronage and ‘settlement’, they would have died and their names forgotten few years afterwards.‎”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BRVVwj-FkvO/?taken-by=uchemaduagwu&hl=en

A letter to the king of sheep's: Please stop pulling down great men of God in Nigeria... You are someone I respect so much but I'm beginning to wonder why you love criticizing men of God! If I may ask sir, have you ever been sexually molested by a clergyman? If no, then why are you always writing trash about different men of God? You had said all manner of evil things against my Pastor, the General overseer of The Redeemed Christian church of God,(RCCG), a great man of God, who had dedicated all his life to serving God and humanity, you had also fabricated lies against the general overseer of Winners Chapel, and now you are tarnishing the image of another great man of God just because a girl accused him wrongly of having an affair with her. Please what do you stand to gain by pulling down this men of God? Are you a saint? Who made you a spokesman for Christians? Even the bible clearly states that "judge not"... So why do you take pleasure in condemning these men of God? Or have you forgotten that even the Vice President of Nigeria is also a PASTOR? Please, this has to stop, focus on your O.A.P job and let the sheep's free themselves, that's even if they are in bondages in the first place. You are not God, neither are you perfect, so please sir, let this stop. Stop criticizing the administration of President Buhari, stop criticizing the great men of God in Nigeria, please sir stop it. This is not to put you down, but its just a candid advice, so you can make heaven when the trumpet blows, and that's if your a true believer anyways..

Just In!! PDP Leaders To Pay Sympathy Visit To Buhari In London

The Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) Board of Trustees (BOT), Sen. Walid Jubril, says the party leaders are ready to visit and sympathise with President Muhammadu Buhari in London.

Jubril, who denied that the party promoted the rumoured death of the President, said that the PDP was rather praying fervently for Buhari’s safe return to Nigeria.

“Let him be well and come back and continue with his leadership of Nigeria.

“If we are to be given the opportunity, the PDP leaders will even go to London to wish him well and sympathize with his family,” he said in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Kaduna.

The BOT chairman, also spoke on the lingering crisis in the party, saying that “the PDP will never die”.

According to him, the party is making efforts to end the lingering crisis facing it and forge ahead.
“By the grace of God we are coming clean and the PDP will never die, it will remain as a very strong party.

“There could be differences; differences will come and go, we will emerge stronger and ready to win all elections like we have won in Rivers, Taraba, Gombe, and we are going to win in Anambra, Ekiti hands down.”

The BOT chairman cautioned key stakeholders against confusing party members, saying they should allow ongoing reconciliation efforts by well-meaning Nigerians including former President Goodluck Jonathan.

He said that apart from Jonathan, other stakeholders in the party are also engaged in the reconciliation efforts.

“I am very sure that there are moves by very responsible party leaders on way forward for our party and we are making a lot of contacts.”

According him, the former president is consultating with the BOT and all the enstranged groups in the party.

“He has spoken with Ahmed Makarfi and Ali Modu Sheriff and he is also talking with me as BOT chairman.

“People should give the former president the opportunity to make proper scrutiny and come out with agreeable solutions on this matter.

“They should not be in too much hurry to further confuse members; we are talking about political solutions.”

Jubril dismissed reports of alleged attempt by the Makarfi faction to break away and register a new party.

“My belief is that when there are such decisions, it will be subjected to scrutiny and discussions by all organs and forums such as the national assembly, the ministers forum, former Governors, and we have the BOT and also the chairmen of various states.

“Whatever we want to do, it must be subjected to their beliefs and understanding.

“I wonder if anybody will say that he has gone to register on behalf of PDP; I will not accept that.”

Corper Beaten And Slapped By Police Officer In Zamfara: NYSC Reacts

The attention of the NYSC Management has been drawn to stories making the rounds about the beating of a Corps member, Esi Uwakwe, serving in Kaura Namoda, Zamfara State, by the police purportedly at the instance of an influential indigene of the area.

Management wishes to inform the public that findings of investigation launched by the Scheme show that the facts of the case were grossly exaggerated, especially in the social media.

Our findings showed that the Corps member, who is serving in a school, went beyond his responsibility of teaching and adoption of acceptable approaches to discipline by causing knee injuries to one of his students whom he instructed to crawl on his knees.

The angered father of the student took the matter to the police and in the course of handling the case, an overzealous officer slapped the Corps member.

Our position on the matter is that both the Corps member and the policeman were wrong in their approaches.

However, we are pleased to note the step taken by the Zamfara State Commissioner of Police, who invited all parties to his office for amicable resolution of the case.

The overzealous policeman has since apologized for slapping the Corps member and the matter has been put to rest.

Management wishes to stress that the picture of a man with cuts on his back, which is being circulated online, is not that of Corps member Uwakwe, but merely posted with intent to cause mischief and further mislead the public.

While we sympathize with both the injured student and the Corps member, whose inexperience might have resulted in his excesses in his approach to discipline, we wish to restate that the publicity the case generated would have been normal if not for the exaggeration.

Management remains committed to safety and dignity of Corps members, but wishes to advise those on teaching assignment to always exercise caution in handling disciplinary cases and to, especially, refer serious cases to their school supervisors to be on the safe side.

Fulani Men Kidnap 52-Year-Old Woman In Ibadan

THREE Fulani men were among five other suspects paraded by the Oyo State Police command for allegedly kidnapping a 52-year old business woman in Ibadan. While parading the suspects, the new Commissioner of Police in the state, Mr. Abiodun Odude, gave the names of the suspected kidnappers as Taoreed Ibrahim, 35; Wilfred Manger,32; Moshood Adams, 26; Umar Amadu, 31; and gang leader, Adekunle Folorunsho Aderopo, 31.

 While parading the suspects alongside 19 other armed robbery suspects and burglars, the CP said, “In the few days that we have been here, we have been able to record very formidable achievements. The first achievement we have been able to make was the case of a woman, who was kidnapped. Her car with other documents were taken away by the kidnappers. “We have arrested five of the kidnappers and we are still working and very soon, we will get the remaining members of the gang, who had the rifles and other weapons that were used in that operation. It is a welcome feat for us.” He added that two of the suspects, Aderopo and Wilfred Manger were ex-convicts.

He said Folorunso Aderopo, 31, was released from Agodi prison in August last year after serving a jail-term, while Wilfred Manger, 32, was also released from the same prison. He said, “The suspects trailed their victim from her office in Ojoo area of Ibadan to her house in Akobo and kidnapped her around 10pm as she was about to enter her house on February 25, 2017. She was robbed of her valuables before being driven away in her Toyota Highlander with number plate LND 954 EE. All through the journey, she was blindfolded to prevent her from knowing where they were until they entered a forest.

“She was taken to Ogere forest where she was subjected to all manner of emotional and psychological torture. She was kept in the forest for two days and prevented from contacting her family. But through diligent investigation in collaboration with Lagos State Police Command, some suspects were arrested at Alausa in Ikeja, Lagos with the victim’s car on February 28, 2017.”

While speaking with newsmen, the suspected mastermind of the kidnap, Aderopo, said he got information from a member of the gang, Moshood Adams. The suspect said, “we traced her from Ojoo in Ibadan to her residence in Akobo where we dispossessed her of her valuables, including a cash sum of N100,000. So, we took her to a bush in Ogere. I was arrested in Lagos with the Toyota Highlander of the woman.” The abducted woman, “We were coming from office at night on Saturday. Then, the gate of our house was opened. The next thing I heard was everybody should lie down. So, we all lied down. They collected all the valuables and they put me in the car, which, of course, I did not know it has tracker.

“We moved for about 25 minutes and I was put somewhere. I was blindfolded till around 4a.m. In the morning, I was moved into the bush and we trekked from Saturday night till Monday afternoon. I was not given any food during the time.” Other suspects included armed robbery suspects whose names were given as Seyi Ajayi Amao, Mohammed Sanni, Oladimeji Adekoya, and Oladotun Tijani. The CP said: “We want to use the opportunity to assure the residents of Oyo State that we shall carry out our statutory duties within the limit if the law. So, all residents of the state have nothing to worry about. We’ll do our best to protect their lives and property as much as we can.

“I just finished a strategic meeting with the all Area Commanders and Divisional Police Officers, and Head of Departments in the state. We have put our heads together and strategised on how to provide adequate security for all the residents of Oyo State. We want everybody in Oyo State to go about their lawful duties and by the grace of God, we will succeed in combating crime.”
