Tori don develop K leg as Akunyili threatens to sue Aondoakaa

https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-395736.0.html

Aondoakaa! aondoakaa!! Aondoakaa!!! Your days are numbered!!!!

Prof. Dora Akunyili, Minister of Information and Communications, has given the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mike Kaase Aondoakaa, seven days to refute a libelous statement he allegedly made about her, or face prosecution.Aondoakaa is quoted as saying of Akunyili, who last Wednesday called on the Federal Executive Council (FEC) to reconsider its position on Umaru Yar'Adua's ability to continue in office, “Let her go confront herself with what happened in NAFDAC,” suggesting impropriety against his colleague. Aondoakaa is known to be one of those within the cabinet who feel the Vice-President should not serve as Acting President, the very issue that Mrs. Akunyili's memo to the FEC addresses. 

In an interview published in yesterday's edition of The Nation newspaper, Aondoakaa described Akunyili as "self-seeking" and "trying to make herself an angel and a cheap hero".

Firing back, the Special Assistant to the Information Minister,  Orji Ogbonaya Orji, said Mrs. Akunyili would not dignify such a statement with a response, noting that "no amount of intimidation" could change the Minister's faith in constitutionality regarding the need for Yar’Adua to transmit a letter to the National Assembly.

"We wish to caution that those who live in glass houses should not throw stones because when you point a finger at your perceived enemies, the other four are pointing at you," he said. 

Following the publication of Mr. Aondoakaa's comments yesterday, the Conference of Nigeria Political Parties (CNPP) ,  and the Centre for Civil Rights Research and Education (CCRRE), separately gave Aondoakaa seven days to substantiate his allegations against Mrs Akunyili, in the interest of the fight against corruption, or face prosecution. 

The CNPP warned Aondoakaa that as the chief law officer of the federation, he should not use his position to protect Mrs. Akunyili, while the CCRRE suggested that Aondoakaa is simply part of a "campaign of calumny" against Mrs Akunyili.
In the CCRREE which was issued in Abuja by its Executive Director, Chijioke Kanu,  he warned Aondoakaa: "Nigerians will definitely ask questions on the billions of Naira spent on the failed prison decongestion of the Ministry of Justice … and demand explanations to those blocking the prosecution of corrupt politicians."
Coming at the same time as today's developments at the National Assembly, and just hours before the next FEC meeting, observers say that meeting will be the most interesting FEC meeting in many years.

, Politicians infiltrated our voters’ register –INEC
By JOHN AMEH, CHUX OHAI, EMMANUEL OBE, CHUKWUDI AKASIKE, EMMANUEL ONYECHE and MUDIAGA AFFE, Published: Sunday, 7 Feb 2010


The Anambra State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Mr. Josiah Uwazuronye, has blamed the discrepancies in the voters‘ register used for Saturday‘s governorship election in the state on the activities of some politicians and fraudulent INEC officials.
Uwazuronye told one of our correspondents Saturday night that the politicians connived with some fraudulent INEC officials to fill in fake names on the voters‘ register.
The REC said, “The culprits took out the names of genuine voters and replaced them with alien names in the areas where their (the fraudulent politicians‘) opponents were strong.”

I wonder how only about 200,000 votes were cast in a state that has close to 2 million registered voters. Even as far back as 1999, Mbadinuju won with about 960,000 votes cast for him alone. Yesterday at Aroma junction, out of more than 2,000 registered voters, only 4 names were on the list the INEC official came with.

Tribunal, here we come!

This is a sham. An election where more than 50% of the voters were disenfranchised can not be said to be free and fair. How come we have approximately 200,000 votes in a state where there are almost 2 million registered voters?

The moment they caught that APGA man with fake voters' cards, I knew they were up to something. Now I know who was behind the snatching of ballot boxes yesterday!

fingard02k:

anambra has done the first Free and fair election in nigeria,Anambra is truely the light of the nation.This election is completlly free and fair

What makes the election fair? Is it because PDP did not win that the election now became free and fair?

How can you call an election were more than 50% of the registered voters could not find their names on the voters' register a fair election?

The moment they caught that APGA man with fake voters' cards some days ago, I knew they were up to something. Anyway, it doesn't end there.

Tribunal, here we come!!

MrPrsdent:

source?

it was caught on camera and shown on AIT some minutes ago.

There were discordant tunes among major stakeholders in the Anambra election that took place on Saturday.
While some praised the election as well organised, others disagreed.

A former Deputy Governor of Anambra State, Chief Chinedu Emeka, who spoke with one of our correspondent at Umueze Anam in Anambra West local Government Area said that INEC, the police and other security agencies had a duty to ensure that the polling was peaceful and “devoid of any illegality.”

He said they were praying for a peaceful outcome of the election. He hoped that the maturity exhibited by the candidates during the campaigns should show in the way they receive the result of the election.

Senator Joy Emodi, who voted at her Odoakpu Ward at 12.28pm expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the election and INEC officials.
She commended INEC for the “orderly planning of the election from Day One,” which she said has led to the success of the election.
She said, “I am elated for what I have so far seen. The election is peaceful and there is large turnout of voters. It is well organised. Security is tight and we have not experienced any violence so far.”

However, Senator Emma Anosike, the running-mate to the PDP candidate, Prof. Chukwuma Soludo described the election as a sham.
He said the election had been marred by the fact that many voters did not find their names in the voters’ register.
He said that 95 percent of these voters whose names were no longer in the register voted in 2007 and wondered why in just two years the same people could not find their names in the register.

themano:

@sunny bobo, so you dont know that Onitsha is in Anambra North and one quarter of the total voting population is in onitsha. Peter Obi has won. No PDP magic will change it

Let's wait and see. Peter Obi winning in some wards doesn't translate to him winning the elections in those local governments yet. Let's all wait and see.

fingard02k:

Ngige and Obi are the top two now in Awka.As im seeing it Obi might win Awka and if he does that means he may have upper hand ahead of Obi cos the results now shows that either Obi or Ngige will def win this election,cos at it is now who ever wins Awka between Obi and Ngige will win this election reasons,the top six local govt that has highest population in Anambra are Onitsha (Obi),Awka (unknown),Aguata (Andy Uba and Soludo's home town),Anaocha (Obi home town),Ihiala (unknown),Idemili (Ngige home town)

Calm down dudes. Anambra North senatorial district has always been the determinant of who wins elections in Anambra state and from all indications, no results have been heard from there yet. That area is a PDP stronghold.

I have no doubt Soludo will win this election. Just sit back and watch the tables turn soon.

SEFAGO:

LOL, I am saying the obvious- Dora already knows that she is serving in a corrupt government so why is she complaining? She knows her memo will come to nothing and she is just using it to generate publicity, please tell me why she did that memo? Why didnt she join the protesters

Man all of you are funny, the corrupt b.i.tch is taking y'all for a ride

Your mother is a Zap.i.n.g harlo.t. You probably are the product of an unwanted pregnancy.

Information and Communication Minister, Mrs. Dora Akunyili, has rejected moves made by the embattled Peoples Democratic Party, PDP that she withdraw a memorandum issued at the last Federal Executive Council, FEC meeting asking President Umaru Musa Ya’r Adua to hand over on health ground.

At the regular weekly meeting of the Executive Council of the Federation, Mrs Akunyili stunned her colleagues by presenting the memo in which she challenged them to tell Nigerians the truth about the president's health and stop deceiving the people.

Akunyili, as requested by members of the FEC has now sent the memo to the cabinet office from where it would be distributed to all the FEC members, pointblanknews.com have learnt.

Pointblanknews.com was informed by a source that soon after the memo was first issued at the FEC meeting; the PDP leadership became very agitated and swiftly sent it emissaries to the Minister for what a source described as a “very serious talk.”

The source added that one of the party leadership who spoke to Akunyili was very shocked to hear the Minister who was hitherto defending the FEC on its decision to back Yar’Adua now singing a different song.

“The man was very shocked when madam told him boldly that she cannot withdraw the memo and till now, they are still trying to convince her.

According to the source, “madam told them that the memo was not about her but about the future of Nigeria and that besides, she cannot withdraw it because her name was at stake.”

MINISTER of Information, Professor Dora Akunyili, at the Federal Executive Council, Wednesday, presented a memorandum on the need for the President to transmit a letter to the National Assembly to enable the Vice President to act as Acting President. The memo, however, was not discussed by the Council. Below is the full text of the memo.

STATE OF THE NATION
1. I want to start my humble submission by stating that I am a 100 per cent loyalist of President Yar’Adua. He appointed all of us because he trusts us and wants us to help him to run government effectively and efficiently. Mr. President has given all of us seated in this chamber the opportunity to serve our nation as members of this council.

I believe that in the choice of all of us, as individuals and group, Mr. President must have considered our ability to guide him aright to serve our people better, promote and protect the constitution in line with the oath of office taken before him in this chamber by each and every one of us. President Yar’Adua is very dear to me just as he is to all of you.

2. We are all aware of what has been happening in Nigeria, especially as it concerns the issue of making the Vice President an acting President. There have been debates for and against.

3. Some have argued that there is no vacuum and that it is okay for the Vice President to function as Vice President, not as Acting President pending the return and recovery of Mr. President. For the proponents of this theory, I want to remind them that Permanent Secretaries had been waiting to be sworn in for over two months now. Consequently, many ministries are without Permanent Secretaries including my ministry.
As it is today, the Vice President cannot take any document to National Assembly. In a very desperate situation like the recent Jos crisis, the Vice President deployed troops to Plateau, but many have openly said that he does not have the right because there cannot be two Commanders-in-Chief at a time.

4. Just recently, Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta, MEND, has opted out of the amnesty and resumed hostility. They argued that they have been kept in limbo since the President took ill and they appeared to have been abandoned since nobody could talk to them or keep the promise made to them. Our economy is once more being threatened.

5. The past Chief Justice of the Federation swore in his successor for the first time in the history of our nation. The power vacuum at that level has also compounded our ‘poor image’ at the international level because of our failure to rise to international expectations, commitments and engagements that require the presence of our President.
Many of those opportunities have existed in the past 70 days that I do not need to recount. I do not need to repeat the uncomplimentary statements made by United States, United Kingdom and EU concerning the current state of affairs in Nigeria .

6. There has been persistent agitation by the public for members of the Federal Executive Council to do something. Nigerians expect us to rise to this challenge on behalf of our President as the leader of this administration. Some eminent citizens have spoken. They include former Heads of State and others who have served our nation in various capacities.
The Senate has also taken a position of which we are all aware. The looming crisis in the system is over boiling. Our hard earned democracy is being threatened by the day.

Threat to democracy
7. What went wrong? We love our President but we should remember that he is not infallible. Before he left Nigeria he had a moral and constitutional obligation to officially inform the Senate and hand over the mantle of leadership to the Vice President pending his return and recovery. That did not happen. Yes, the mistake has been made by our Boss and our brother.
Mr. President is ill and did not choose to be sick. But while we continue to pray for his recovery, we should try to right the wrong.

8. Some have argued that he left the country in a hurry. This argument has been punctured by the fact that he signed the Appropriation Bill for National Assembly. If he could sign the Bill, why did he not sign a letter for Vice President to act on his behalf until he is well enough?

9. We have a local proverb that says that “A goat does not get strangulated by the rope used in tying it when an adult is present.” We are all in a better position to know that the polity is overheated to a frightening level. Posterity will judge us harshly if we do not positively intervene to resolve this logjam.

10. I wish to call on the Federal Executive Council to act now in the best interest of our dear President and our dear Nation.
We also need to save ourselves from shame because our stand is becoming very embarrassing. He has been away for about 70 days now, even if he returns tomorrow, is it not better for him to rest and recover before taking over from the Vice President?

11. We need to do what is morally right and constitutional for the President to officially hand over to the Vice President to function as Acting President. If he does not, we can evoke whichever aspect of the constitution that should make the Vice President an Acting President.
On the other hand we can take advantage of the 14 days ultimatum by the court which will expire on Friday. When the President resumes duty as soon as he recovers, by the grace of God, he takes over his position.

12. I am not saying that President Yar’Adua should resign or condemn him for being sick. He did not choose to be sick. We will continue to pray for him, but all I am saying is, let us encourage him do the right thing so that our hard earned democracy will not be truncated. Anybody who feels otherwise is unfair to our President (who has been preaching the rule of law), and utterly unfair to our country.

13. The name of our President and all his achievements are being rubbished by this unfortunate debacle. The President and his family are also being put under undue pressure which will not help his recovery.

14. If we fail to act now, history will not forgive us. I rest my case.

This man must have sniffed crushed burantashi.

I think it's high time Aondoakaa get's cut down to size.

Akunyili, in a telephone interview with one of our correspondents, confirmed that she, indeed, tabled a memo on the President’s health to the council.

She, however, declined to discuss the details of the memo or the motive behind her action.

Akunyili said, “Yes, I presented the memo to the council. Somebody must have called and told you that. I presented the memo.”

Asked the content of the memo, she replied, “I will not be able to discuss the content now. It was read but not debated and subsequently withdrawn. That means it was not taken. So, I can’t discuss the details with you now.”

On whether it meant that the memo would be taken at the next meeting, she stated, “I will represent it because I stand by whatever I said in the memo.”

Our correspondents gathered that immediately after Akunyili’s memo was read and rejected at FEC, tempers rose as a good number of ministers, led by the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Michael Aondoakaa, shouted her down.

A source disclosed that Pro Jonathan ministers were so shocked by the fiery reaction of the Pro Yar’Adua ministers, although a few latter met with Akunyili to congratulate her for her courage.

Evidence that Akunyili might have disagreed with the Council’s resolution on January 27 had shown in her appearance in the front page photograph of many newspapers, Aondoakaa, addressed the press on the decision taken on Yar’Adua.

The pretty-looking 55-year-old Akunyili wore a weary look and appeared evidently bothered.

Two members of the House of Representatives nearly exchanged blows on Wednesday as anger boiled over the rejection of a motion asking President Umaru Yar’Adua to transmit power to Vice-President Goodluck Jonathan.

Many lawmakers were particularly angry that the Speaker, Mr. Dimeji Bankole, did not give more members a chance to speak on the motion before he ruled in favour of those opposed to it.

The motion simply sought to ask Yar’Adua to comply with Section 145 of the 1999 Constitution.

Mr. Independence Ogunewe from Imo State was one of the lawmakers who supported the motion, but he was disallowed from speaking.

However, while he was pressing to be heard, another lawmaker, Mr. Ado Dogo, from Kano State , reminded him that the House might suspend him (Ogunewe) for arguing with Bankole.

An angry Ogunewe immediately rushed at Dogo in a bid to hit him, but Dogo ran from his seat.

Ogunewe chased after him until Dogo tripped and fell in the chamber, raising his hands and begging Ogunewe not to punch him.

“Please, please, I beg you in the name of God; I am sorry,” he pleaded.

But the obviously livid Ogunewe rained abuses on Dogo for daring to threaten him with suspension.

“How could he have talked about suspension? This was the same man who moved a motion for my suspension before. He is threatening me again, let him dare it,” he fumed.

Food for thought


Mbadinuju = AD
Ngige = AC
Ekwunife = PPA
Andy Uba = LP
Chris Uba = LP (working behind the scene)


So saying thou shall not vote for PDP for the sake of the name runs the risk of enthroning the very actors and pepetrators of evil

U r right. Remember Obi himself originally wanted to contest on the platform of PDP but moved over to APGA when Chris Uba's Okija terms were not favourable to him. We should look at the individuals and not the party. Soludo all the way!!
