PRESS STATEMENT: ACTING PRESIDENT RESCHEDULES TRIP TO ONDO STATE

Acting President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN, has had to reschedule his visit to Ondo State today. The trip had been set-up in continuation of his tour of the oil-producing communities which earlier took the Acting President to Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Imo States.

Prof. Osinbajo was already air-borne this morning when weather reports indicated dusty haze and very poor visibility at the Akure Airport and other alternative airports nearby.

The presidential jet therefore had to return to Abuja following which the weather condition was closely monitored until about 2:30pm, when it became abundantly clear that the situation would not change in time for the Acting President to achieve the purposes of the visit. The visit has therefore been rescheduled for Monday, the 20th of February, 2017.

BUHARI NEEDS TO UNDERGO A LESSON IN LEADERSHIP FROM NO OTHER PERSON THAN HIS OWN VICE PRESIDENT

***POSITIVE AND WARM BODY LANGUAGE ARE KEY DESIDERATA OF SUCCESSFUL LEADERS*

VP Osinbajo

Vice, sorry, Acting President Yemi Osinbajo is an interesting man.
I think he is a deep thinker. He has to be. He is not just a professor of law, he is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.
He was for several years, a university teacher and naturally will understand that the warmest teachers teach better.
When students feel relaxed with a particular teacher, the tendency that they will understand him better is very high. We all went to school and we know this is true.
Being warm and good natured is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign a strength. A big one.

In the last couple of weeks, Prof. Osinbajo has visited some states which could be considered "political enemy zones".

He had gone to Anambra to see the INNOSON CAR FACTORY.
He was in Abia to see face to face with shoe and garment makers.

DEAD OR ALIVE: BUHARI CORRECTS PDP IMPUNITY, NO VACANCY IN ASO-ROCK

SULIVAN CHIME, the past Enugu State Governor left the shores of this country for cancer treatment never handed over to his deputy, PDP never blinked an eye over that atrocity. We all knew how activities in that state was grounded the Deputy was not allowed to sign any document.

Ak-47 Carrying Herdsmen Streamed Into Nigeria From Libya – Buhari Tells Nigerians in London

President Muhammadu Buhari said herdsmen accused of killing Nigerians are non-Nigerians. He told Nigerians in London on Friday that the Ak-47 carrying herdsmen streamed into Nigeria from Libya.

“Because of what happened in Libya, when Ghadaffi, during his 43 year-regime, trained some people from the Sahel militarily. When his regime was overthrown, those people were dispatched to their countries. They found themselves in the Boko Haram and others.

“It is a major regional and virtually African problem now. There is one called Al Qaeda, there is Boko Haram and so on. It is a governmental project now to trace them, disarm them, try them and discipline them.”

President Jonathan and His Political Deceits

President Goodluck Jonathan while presenting Ayo Fayose to the people of Ekiti state as the PDP candidate for the June 21 governorship election told the electorate in the state that "When you vote Fayose and PDP returns to Ekiti state again, I will join hands with him to develop this state"

My Take: Why is the president not joining hands with Governor Gabriel Suswam to resolve the ten months old strike of primary school teachers in Benue state, controlled by the PDP? Governor Suswam declared " I am cash-strapped and can't pay the money." O mase o.

He is therefore planning to reduce the state's workforce by 40 per cent. Can the state move forward with this problem?

Delta state is battling with the kidnappers and flood. What has the president done to assist the state controlled by his party?

INEC Extends CVR in 10 States by Two Days

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has extended the Continuous Voter Registration (CVR) taking place in 10 states by two days. This extension is in view of the huge turnout of prospective registrants, and it is intended to give a fair chance to all eligible persons.

The exercise, which was originally scheduled to end on Sunday, 1st June, 2014, will now run till Tuesday, 3rd June 2014, in the following states: Taraba, Gombe, Zamfara, Kebbi, Benue, Kogi, Abia, Enugu, Akwa-Ibom and Bayelsa.

INEC calls on eligible persons in the states involved in the exercise that are yet to register as voters to use the opportunity of this extension to do so.

The Commission hereby reiterates, however, that the CVR is for only the following categories of people:
(i) Persons who turned 18 years after the last registration;
(ii) Persons who were 18 years at the time but did not present themselves for registration; and
(iii) Persons whose data were not adequately captured previously and for whom PVCs were not produced in the last distribution exercise.

PDP GOVERNMENT, ITS SECURITY AGENTS AND THE THEORY OF "YES, IT IS POSSIBLE"

By Com Jasper Azuatalam

This is one sentence that is rampant in Nigeria under PDP government, "yes, it is possible". It has become the response of the, helpless, gullible and those that have fallen to deceit. It started with fair stories to weird stories and then incredible stories. Imagine, a man was eating Amala and ewedu soup and suddenly he swallowed a razor blade and died, "yes, it is possible". Then, another man died and we were told, he was eating fufu and agbono soup and suddenly, he swallowed a knife. 

"Yes, it is possible". Isn’t it, the knife may have fallen into the soup when it was being cooked. Now, the other man died and we heard he was drinking a cup of coffee and suddenly swallowed a pistol. "Yes, it is possible". The coffee may have been prepared by a soldier and his pistol fell inside the coffee while preparing it. Isn’t it possible? Surely, it is in Nigeria.

Fuel subsidy increased from #600 billion in 2010 to #2.7 trillion in 2011 an election year. "Yes, it is possible". Our population may have quadrupled that year. A handcuffed and hungry Boko harram suspect dispossessed an SSS official who came to feed him of his pistol and took over the entire SSS headquarters with the pistol causing a jail break.
