T he management of New Telegraph Newspapers has expressed shock over its inclusion on the list of media houses that THISDAY Publisher and President, Newspapers Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN) claimed he paid N10 million each to from funds he received from the immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd), as compensation for the illegal seizure of some newspapers by the military during the adminis­tration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
A statement signed by the MD/EIC of New Telegraph , Mrs Funke Egbemode said “It is on record that following the decision of NPAN to seek compensation from the Federal Government in the aftermath of the seizure of editions of newspapers by the military, New Telegraph computed its losses, which were passed to the association. However, since then, the company has heard nothing from the asso­ciation on the matter.”
She further disclosed that “Following a report that NPAN has begun paying N9 million (not N10 million as contained in the report that has gone viral on the internet), the management of Daily Telegraph Publishing Company Limited, publishers of New Telegraph , Saturday Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph , has written three letters to NPAN for its share of the compensation; but regrettably, as at this moment, not even a kobo has been received.
“The first letter was written on May 22, 2015 followed by another on July 16, 2015 with a reminder written on November 19, 2015.
“Therefore, it is nothing but sheer falsehood for the NPAN president, who claimed he received the money on behalf of the association, to have included New Telegraph Newspapers
as one of the beneficiaries of the funds, which as it has now emerged, was disbursed by the former NSA.”
Meanwhile, two other national newspapers; the Nigerian Tribune and Peoples Daily have denied collecting any kobo from the NSA’s office through Mr Obaigbena.
The two newspapers in separate statements released yesterday said they were shocked to find their names listed as some of the media houses that were paid for losses incurred as a result of the action by the military to seize copies of some newspapers and block their circulation nationwide.

Now i get why PDP is called " share the money"..

As for the hero of ologogoro association, God is preparing his judgement but there are times i still appreciate him cos that "ambition not worth blood of Nigerians" was directed at his handlers who must have been pushing him to make untoward moves to "win," by do or die....

He must have felt, we don chop enough, make PMB enter come do the dishes & mop the kitchen.

Probably a mix of betrayal too. It seems he signed a deal to protect himself and damn all else. Despite the 'evidence' pouring out daily, and accusations and counter accusations, he is yet to issue any sort of defense to protect his name or stewardship. I am 100% sure he is culpable in at least a few deals, but such are the times we live in. With IPOB threatening unrest in the SE, and the waning influence of Boko Haram in the NE, the President surely doesn't need any more of these ethno-dramas, at least not for the time being.

I'm grateful HERO accepted defeat quickly, whether coerced to do so or not by superpowers. That deserves some commendation. It certainly deflated the swirl of tension that had already been aggravated by his 'we will not tek it' brother. It's the irony and hypocrisy of life we live as Africans; where we expect our leaders to hold on to power at all costs. Even those who brand him as 'hero' today internally despise for accepting defeat so easily.

PMB sure has a lot of dishes to clean and mopping up to do. I read his speech at the Anyiam-Osigwe event yesterday and was quite impressed. He seems to have an understanding of what he has to do and achieve. Corruption has permeated our every fibre; so much that it has become a part of us like breathing. What's the point of sanitizing our system when there are a lot of flies swarming around, just bidding their time to get back in?

May Allah help him. The future of Nigeria rests on the shoulder of a 72 year old man. The Nigerian job is tougher than the American one in my opinion, and see what the latter did to Obama.

God bless you too

Obviously, the same kind of love your parents showed you.

he released money for ammunition,

And his responsibilities as President ended at 'releasing money for ammunition'. You trust the intentions of a man who had the CBN Governor sacked for daring to announce that there were missing funds. If GOATS need a SHEPHERD, GEJ was that. Leading them into the barn and sleeping under a tree, while the goats pillaged the yams and even started frying the yams. All of sudden, elections came up, he quickly woke up and started frying eggstew for the yams.

Let Amaechi try it under Buhari.

No now. Why would he do that when he can send Oritsejafor ?
