“You may recall that I told you of the following steps taken as soon as the information came in to me about the Benue killings. One, on Thursday 4th January, I sent the minister of interior and the deputy inspector-general of police in charge of operations for an on-the-spot assessment of the situation.

“Two, on Friday 5th January, the inspector-general of police briefed me verbally on the latest situation, calm had then been restored.

PDP has reacted to Federal government's decision to withdraw $1 billion from the Excess Crude Account to be used in the prosecution of the war against the terrorist group, Boko Haram. Recall that the 36 state governors at a meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, agreed that the funds should be withdrawn for the purpose of fighting Boko Haram.

In a swift reaction, PDP says the withdrawal of the funds is curious and alarming. Read the statement signed by its National publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, below

"The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday described the approval for the release of $1bn to the APC-led Federal Government under the guise of fighting insurgency in the northeast as curious and alarming.

The PDP in a statement by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the party was alarmed by the manipulative plot by the APC administration to secure approvals without recourse to due process, and for purposes of fighting the same insurgents it claimed to have since defeated.

The PDP also wondered why the APC-led Federal Government had to recourse to the National Economic Council (NEC) while "avoiding the direct constitutional appropriation channel of the National Assembly for funding of items already provided for in the federal budget if it actually has nothing to hide.

"The PDP supports the fight against insurgency. We hold our officers and men confronting the terrorists and securing our territorial integrity in high esteem, but we are concerned about the manipulative tendencies connected with the approvals as well as the veracity of claimed purpose of the fund.

"Nigerians would recall that the APC-led Federal Government had claimed that it has since defeated the insurgents.

"If it would take a billion dollar from a nation's savings to kill what they long claimed dead, then we challenge APC government come clean and tell Nigerians the whole truth.

"The era of lies and propaganda is long gone and Nigerians now know the truth. The Federal Government must be held accountable and stopped from any move to fritter away our national savings.

"We therefore call on the National Assembly to interrogate this proposed disbursement and subject it to a thorough but rapid interrogation", the statement said.

The PDP also noted that the development has rubbished the integrity of the current administration and demanded that it apologize to Nigerians for lying to them about the actual state of the fight against insurgency in Nigeria.

"By accepting the $1bn for fighting insurgency, the APC-led Federal Government has admitted that it lied when it announced that it has defeated the insurgents. They should therefore apologize to Nigerians for giving them a false sense of security, resulting in their vulnerability to attacks by terrorists", the party said.

The PDP recalled that the three points upon which APC hinged their promise were security, corruption and economy and it is apparent that they have failed in all.

"On the economy, they have taken us into recession; on security, Boko Haram is still ravaging our people; on the corruption, the APC Government has only embarked on witch hunt of the opposition while enmeshed in monumental corruption thriving unabated right inside the engine of its administration", the party said.

The PDP vowed to ensure the APC does not continue to play with the intelligence of Nigerians, who are now only waiting for 2019 to consign them into the dustbin of history.

A massive investigation has revealed more of the monies and properties allegedly acquired by the Minister of Petroleum Resources Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke while in office.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) has so far traced N47.2 billion and $487.5million to the ex-minister.
The agency also claimed that Mrs. Alison Madueke has N23,446,300,000 and $5milion (about N1.5billion) cash in various banks.
But only the about $37.5million Banana Island property has been forfeited to the Federal Government by the ex-minister.
On Monday , Justice Chuka Obiozor, a vacation judge sitting at the Federal High Court in Ikoyi, Lagos, ordered the final forfeiture of the property.
These revelations were contained in a fact-sheet released by the Public Affairs Directorate of the EFCC.
The fact-sheet is signed by two officers of the directorate, Mr. Tony Orilade and Aishah Gambari.
The document reads: “Apart from the jewellery, the EFCC, Nigeria’s foremost anti-corruption agency, has traced N47.2billion and $487.5million in cash and properties to the former Minister of Petroleum Resources in ex-President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration.
“This followed painstaking investigations by operatives of Nigeria’s Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).”
In the fact-sheet, the EFCC gave the details of the properties linked with the ex-minister.
It accused Mrs. Alison Madueke of acquiring a block of six units serviced apartments a few metres away from the EFCC zonal operations hub in Ikoyi.
The document added: “Also in Lagos, Alison-Madueke allegedly bought a block of six units serviced apartments at number 135, Awolowo Road, Ikoyi, just a few hundred metres away from the EFCC zonal operations hub.
“The apartment has a standby power generating set, sporting facilities, play ground and a water treatment plant. The property was bought at the rate of N800 million (Eight hundred million naira) on January 6, 2012.
“Other properties in Yaba, Lagos, also discovered by the eagle eyes of the Commission’s operatives, are located at number 7, Thurnburn Street and 5, Raymond Street.

“The Raymond Street property is made up of two en-suite 2-bedroom apartments and one four bedroom apartment.

“In Lekki Phase one, an upscale neighbourhood of Lagos, operatives found a twin four-bedroom duplex. The duplex is located on Plot 33, Block 112, Lekki Peninsula Residential Scheme Phase 1, Lekki, Lagos, with an estimated value of over N200million (Two hundred million naira).
“Also in Lagos, a large expanse of land at Oniru, Victoria Island, Lagos has also been traced to the former Petroleum Resources Minister. The land, which is located in Oniru Chieftaincy Family Private Estate, Lekki peninsular, Lagos and currently being utilised as a dumping site, was bought on February 16, 2012 for N135million (One hundred and thirty- five million naira).
“Plot 8, Gerard Road Ikoyi, Lagos, another property traced to Alison-Madueke, is a penthouse on the 11th floor in the Block B Wing of the building. It was bought for N12million (Twelve million naira) on December 20, 2011.”
Besides the properties in Lagos, the commission claimed that Mrs. Alison Madueke allegedly bought choice mansions in Abuja, Port Harcourt and Yenagoa in Bayelsa State.
It said: “On Plot 10, Frederick Chiluba Close, in the serene, upscale Asokoro District of Abuja, lies a tastefully built and finished duplex. In the compound, there are also a guest chalet, boy’s quarters, an elegant swimming pool, fully equipped sports gym and a host of other amenities.
“ Investigators have discovered that the property acquired by the ex-minister in December, 2009, at the cost of N400 million (Four hundred million naira)  was never declared in any of the asset declaration forms filed by Alison-Madueke.
“Also linked to the former Minister in Abuja is a mini-estate at Mabushi, Abuja. The estate, located on Plot 1205, Cadastral Zone B06, Mabushi Gardens Estate, houses 13 three-bedroom terrace houses, each with one bedroom en-suite maid’s quarters.  It was purchased on April 2, 2012 at the princely sum of N650million (Six Hundred and Fifty Million Naira).
“In Aso Drive, Maitama, Abuja, Alison-Madueke reportedly acquired a six bedroom en-suite apartment made up of three large living rooms, two bedroom guest chalets, two-bedroom boys quarters, two lock up garages and a car park. It was bought on July 20, 2011 for N80million (Eighty million naira).
“Down South in Nigeria’s oil city of Port Harcourt, the former minister’s acquisitive appetite took her to Heritage Court Estate, located on Plot 2C, Omerelu Street, Diobu Government Residential Area, Phase 1 Extension, Port Harcourt.
“The Estate, which is made up of 16 four-bedroom terrace duplexes, is equipped with, among other facilities, a massive standby power generating set. Alison-Madueke did not blink as she shelled out N900million (Nine hundred million naira) for it on May 30, 2012.
“In neighbouring Bayelsa State, an apartment with two blocks of flats, all en-suite, and with a maid’s quarters was also traced to her. The house located on Goodluck Jonathan Road, Yenagoa is sitting on a large expanse of land.
“Realtors spoken to by EFCC investigators have placed estimated values running into hundreds of millions of Naira on the property. The apartments have four living rooms, eight bedrooms and gold-plated furniture.”
Besides jewelry and property, Mrs. Alison-Madueke, EFCC operatives claim, has N23,446,300,000 and $5milion (about N1.5billion) in various Nigerian banks.

 Nigerian, Joachim Iroko who was arrested in August, 2016 for naming his dog Buhariwas just freed of all charges yesterday at the Magistrate Court sitted in Sango, Ogun state.

Haliru Umar from Sokoto State,  neighbour of Mr. Iroki, accused that Mr. Iroko of breaching peace and having harmful motive for naming his dog the name ‘Buhari’ believed to be referred to the President of Nigeria.

Magistrate O. O. Adebo however nullifed the case claiming the prosecutor failed to substantiate his case against Joachim Iroko and consequently struck out all charges preferred against him. The arrest of Mr. Iroko sparked nationwide outrage in August 2016 and critics accused the police of stifling constitutionally guaranteed freedom.

The presidency also reacted to the arrest when Presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said the president paid more attention to cartoon pages in the newspapers rather than following Mr. Iroko’s case that was generating nationwide furore at the time.

In ecstatic mood, the discharged and acquainted Joachim Iroko expressed gratitude for the support throughout his times of trials.

“I would like to thank specially, Vanguard Newspaper for blowing the case open and human rights lawyer, Ebun Adegboro

wa that came to my rescue” he said

overnor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun says he is not owing civil servants salaries, NAN reports.

Aregbesola said this on Wednesday July 26 in Osogbo, at a symposium organized by the Osun Command of the Police Community Relations Committee.

The governor said in spite of the economic challenges confronting the nation and the state in particular, his administration had not failed in paying workers regularly.

Aregbesola said he was aware of the insinuation being peddled by those he regarded as adversaries to incite the public against his administration.

He however, said workers in the state had been paid up to June.

“Let me make a resounding correction that despite the paucity of funds, it is only a section of workers on grade level 12 and above who receive painfully 50 percent of their gross salaries based on agreement between the government and the labour union.

“So, outside that category of workers on grade level 12 and above, no other receives half of his or her salaries and the workers in this category are just 20 percent of the state’s workforce.

“Outside that, officers on levels 8-10 receive 75 percent of their salaries while officers on levels 7 and below receive their full pay.

“Contrary to what the naysayers claim about us, all workers in the state have received their salaries up to June this year according to the payment scheme and agreement.

“As we pay active workers, so we pay pensioners.

“The only outstanding pay to pensioners is the gratuity and this is due to workers who choose not to participate in the Contributory Pension Scheme and therefore left service in 2011/2012,’’ the governor said.

The opposition party in a statement issued by its chairman Tunji Olatunji, noted that the probe had become imperative following the inability of the state government to pay backlog of workers’ salaries and other problems confronting the state which he said was caused by maladministration of the APC.

Reported that the vice president Osinbajo was given two weeks ultimatum to probe president buahri’s health.

A group of lawyers under the aegis of United Global Resolve for Peace (UGRFP) have asked Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and some members of the federal executive council (FEC) to set up a medical committee in line with Section 145 of the 1999 constitution as amended, to ascertain if President Buhari is fit enough to continue in office or face legal action.

The lawyers on Wednesday, July 26, threatened to seek a court order to compel the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to set up a medical committee to ascertain if ailing Buhari is fit enough to continue in office if their request is not met, Sun reports.

“We have written letters to the Acting President, the AGF and the SGF to set up a medical committee to ascertain if President Buhari is fit enough to continue in office,” Mr Pelumi Olajengbesi who spoke on behalf of the group said.

“This is not about the president or anybody, but the institution called Nigeria. We need to follow what the constitution says and ensure that the right thing is done. We are giving them two weeks.

“If they fail to do that and set up the committee, we will be left with no choice, but to approach the court and compel them to do the right thing. They need to invoke that section of our constitution.”

Other members of the FEC who received the letter include, the attorney-general of the federation (AGF) and minister of justice, Mr Abubakar Malami and the acting secretary to government of the Federation (SGF), Habibat Lawal.

But the sources who spoke under the condition of anonymity on Tuesday night, July 25, did not specify the date within the week when the president will be expected to return, Daily Trust reports.

The disclosure by the sources came hours after presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, told newsmen that he had no information about when Buhari will return.

Tuesday, July 25, 7 governors were selected to meet with President Muhammadu Buhari in London on Wednesday, July 26.

Below are some facts to know about the visit to President Buhari.

3. Date of Buhari’s return

The media team of the presidency has said that it is only the medical team of President Buhari who have been with him since May 7 that can determine when the President would return to Nigeria.

4. Timing of the visit

Femi Adesina explained the reason for the visit against the backdrop that it had been reported that President Buhari was recuperating, he said it was the best time for the president to receive visitors as he was recovering.

5. What was discussed at the meeting?
