The former Rivers REC, Gesila Khan. The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in charge of the 2015 Rivers governorship election, Gesila Khan has reportedly made confessions in custody of Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC). The REC had been arrested by the zonal office of the EFCC alongside four others on Thursday, April 14 and the anti graft agency reports that over N675.1m has been discovered in the bank accounts of different electoral officers in Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Delta states. Reports say the officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) received and shared the said amount during the last gubernatorial election. The Punch reports that Khan had been questioned by the Department of State Security (DSS) in July, 2015, but had no charges against her. In the recent arrest, however, the residences of all the suspects were searched and incriminating documents were said to have been recovered by the commission. Khan, who has since been deployed to Cross River state, was reported to have received N185.8m ahead of the March 28 and April 11, 2015, elections. A reliable source with the EFCC revealed that Khan made confessional statements where it was gathered that she received the money through a special bank account. “Khan was the REC in Rivers State in 2015 election before she was transferred to Cross River early this year. She was said to have received N185.8m. She has made confessional statements,” the source revealed. READ ALSO: Prominent cleric criticizes Buhari over Kanu Also, one Edem Okon Essanga, a retired INEC official, was picked up by the anti graft agency alongside his alleged accomplice, Immaculata Asuquo, who is the head, voter education of INEC in Akwa Ibom. The source at the EFCC added that “Essanga received N241.1m during the general election. He admitted receiving the money and confirmed sharing it with different ad hoc workers during the election. His accomplice Asuquo has also been arrested.” Fidelia Omoile, who was the INEC electoral officer in Isoko-south local government area of Delta, was also picked up and apart the over N112m traced to her, EFCC also recovered some sensitive electoral materials. “She received N112.4m during the 2015 general election. A search warrant was executed at her residences in Asaba and Benin. “Sensitive materials used in the 2015 elections were recovered, including evidence of the suspicious bank transaction and land documents that will assist us in our investigations,” the anonymous EFCC source revealed. INEC’s administrative secretary in Delta, Oluchi Obi-Brown, was among those picked up and investigations by EFCC showed that she allegedly received over N111m and had about $75,000 in an account in the United States. The source added that “Oluchi received N111.5m during the general election. Investigations showed that she operates a foreign account with the Bank of America. As of February this year, the account balance was $75,857, (N24, 274,240),” explaining further that the total amount found in the bank accounts of the INEC officials stands at N675.1m. And according to the anonymous source, the commission was banking on the confessional statements to catch the ‘big fish’. Meanwhile, the Ijaw Youth Council (IYC), worldwide has demanded the immediate relea se of Khan. A statement signed by Eric Omare, the group’s spokesman, read: “Mrs. Khan, had gone to the office of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to honour an invitation and having met with the EFCC team, they demanded for a first class traditional ruler or holder of the national honour of Commander of the Niger (CON) to stand surety to bail her.” https://www.naij.com/801928-inec-officer-reportedly-aided-wikes-election-makes-stunning-confession-efcc-custody.html?source=index_main

The Senator representing Kaduna Central, Shehu Sani, yesterday said the anti-corruption war by the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was been driven by political consideration. Sanni charged the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCT, to probe the asset declarations of other Governors who served at the same time as the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, because politics should not be mixed with anti-graft war. Speaking at the 8th Forum of the laureates of Nigerian National Order of Merit in Abuja, Sanni said after insurgency, no issue should dominate national discourse more than corruption, adding that political considerations could affect the anti-corruption fight. Reacting to the investigations into the ongoing arms deal supervised by the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, Sanni said corruption has its consequences. “Corruption has consequences as seen in the arrest of those in charge of security in the last administration,” “Insurgency is for some industry, business enterprise and means of making money. “Even Governors would say they allocate hundreds of millions to security but when you go there you won’t find anything. “They say because of allocation to security they can build schools. So it is for all of us to see why we have not won the war against insurgency and why people are killed because of corruption,” he said. “Politics mixed with corruption will take us nowhere,” he said. He further added, “It is only in Nigeria that one says because somebody has contributed to the success of the ruling party, corruption charges should be withdrawn against him. But if he falls out of favour tomorrow, then, EFCC will bring up the remaining charges.http://dailypost.ng/2015/12/02/shehu-sani-admits-buharis-anti-graft-war-is-political/

According to the Executive Secretary of Secondary Schools Management Board, Husaini Ganduje, who confirmed the inferno, the cause of the fire is still not known, also confirming that seven students died in the fire while those who sustained injuries were currently receiving treatment.

The National President of the Association of Ex-Local Government Chairmen in Nigeria, Mr. Albert Asipa, has called for the cooperation of state governors on the issue of local government autonomy. Asipa, according to a statement on Monday by the National Publicity Secretary of the ASELGON, Abdalar Abubakar, stated this in his acceptance speech shortly after he was elected the president of the association. Asipa, a journalist and former Chairman, Imeko-Afon Local Government Area of Ogun State, promised to work towards taking the association to a greater height. He said he would engage stakeholders, including the Nigerian Governors’ Forum, national and state Houses of Assembly, the Nigeria Union of Journalists, civil society organisations and traditional rulers with a view to strengthening local government administration in the country. “To put local administration on the right track, especially on the issue of autonomy, which is not about confrontation with the governors or any other stakeholders, what is required is constructive engagement and for all concerned to demonstrate utmost patriotism that can move the polity forward,” Asipa advised. The statement added that the national president promised that the association would support President Muhammadu Buhari to fight corruption at all levels of governance. He urged Buhari not to renege on the promise he made in his inaugural address to pay adequate attention to the issue of local government administration. He said the association was waiting for the President to match his words with action in this respect. Asipa commended the governors of Jigawa and Ekiti states for their commitment to conducting local government elections slated for December 19, 2015 and February 13, 2016 respectively. He urged the states to provide a level playing field that would guarantee free, fair and acceptable elections in the states. It also called on states where local governments were under caretaker administration to set machinery in motion for the conduct of democratically elected councils in line with the nation’s constitution.http://punchng.com/autonomy-ex-lg-chairmen-seek-govs-support/ |

An All Progressives Grand Alliance stalwart and former Commissioner for Housing in Imo State, Chief Chris Uche, on Thursday revealed that the current pro-Biafra agitation was spurred by the spirit of the late Leader of the defunct Republic of Biafra, Dim Chukwuemeka Ojukwu. Speaking at the third memorial anniversary of Ojukwu, Uche said Biafra would be declared a sovereign state without the shedding of blood. Uche said those who lost their lives in the cause of Biafran struggle would never be forgotten. According to Uche, the time for the realisation of Biafra was closer than ever. He said, “Ojukwu gave us a template. He is still alive in our minds. Chief Uwazuruike’s yearly remembrance ceremony in his honour is bringing the time closer for the realisation of Biafra. We shall keep the flag flying and we shall achieve it without shooting of gun.” Also speaking at the event, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, leader of MASSOB said the essence of the anniversary of Ojukwu was to reawaken the consciousness of Biafra among the Igbo people. Uwazuruike further called for the unconditional release of Radio Biafra Director, Mr. Nnamdi Kanu. He however expressed regrets over the fact that the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, which recently emerged, was using threats of violence to achieve its aim. “IPOB believes that since MASSOB has not achieved Biafra through non-violent methods for 16 years, they will achieve it through violence. They threatened fire and castigated some Igbo leaders,” Uwazuruike said.http://dailypost.ng/2015/11/27/325748/

The Council of Obas in Ondo State has condemned installations of Eze Ndigbo in the South-West. A communiqué issued yesterday by the council in Akure after its monthly meeting described the trend as “an affront on the state traditional rulers.” The Obas said having another king in an area where there was one already recoginsed was an attempt to embarrass the Yoruba traditional rulers and the entire institution. It said that the use of titles such as Eze, Igwe, Obi or any other synonym was not acceptable in the state and that the only chieftaincy title recognized was the one bestowed by the traditional ruler in the state on Igbo indigenes such as chairman or president or leader of Igbo descents. “The continued use of Eze Ndigbo chieftaincy title and flaunting of paraphernalia of Ndigbo traditional institution in Ondo State is a calculated attempt to embarrass the Yoruba traditional rulers,” the monarchs agreed. “It is also meant to desecrate the Yoruba traditional institution. It is also an affront on Ondo State traditional rulers”, they added. The Obas said that the issue of Eze Ndigbo chieftaincy title in Ondo State, which was the title of traditional rulers in Igbo communities, was alien to Yoruba and tradition. They said, “it is a way of arrogating to the Igbo leaders the traditional power and equating themselves to Yoruba Obas.” The Obas added that it was forbidden under the extant Chiefs’ Law for any person who was not a recognized Oba in Ondo State to wear a crown, costume or any other paraphernalia of an Oba. “It is an infraction of the penal law and indeed the Chiefs Law in Ondo State for any person to parade himself as either a minor chief or recognized chief without the requisite approval of the prescribed authority or the State Executive Council as the case may be,’’ they said. The Council therefore warned that, “whoever wants to be a traditional ruler among the Igbos or any other ethnic groups should go to his domain for such.”http://dailypost.ng/2015/11/27/igbos-having-eze-igwe-obi-in-yorubaland-is-an-affront-ondo-obas/

President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted that the nation’s roads are in precarious state and are in dire need of attention by the Federal Government. He also made case for the immediate development of infrastructure such as rail and power. Buhari spoke during a presidential dinner he hosted in honour of senators at the new Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja on Wednesday. “The roads are dead. Those who drive between Lagos and Ibadan will have a lot of stories to tell you. Those who drive from Kaduna to Jebba may have more stories to tell. The same thing is applicable to the East West Road,” the President said. He urged the Senate to assist his government in concentrating on the problem of infrastructure such as rail, road and power. He asked the Senate committees to look at the various agreements the nation had entered into in the last six years and see where Nigeria had been defaulting in terms of payment of counterpart fundings. He observed that if the nation could get the railway working, lives and fuel would be saved. The President also touched on the nation’s economy, saying the drop in the price of oil was affecting it negatively. While thanking the Senate for the speed with which his ministerial nominees were approved, he urged them to treat the nation’s budget with the same sense of urgency. “We are enjoying tremendous goodwill outside this country. Whatever we do, let us have it in mind that people have confidence in this government,” the President said. The President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, thanked the President on behalf of his colleagues and pledged the senators’ continuous support for the government. While admitting that the challenges ahead are enormous, Saraki said he believed that when God gives man a position, He would also equip him with the capacity to carry out the task. In treating national issues, he promised that the Senate under his watch would not be sentimental. “Petrol does not know the APC or the PDP. We will always work hard in the interest of the country in everything we do,” Saraki promised. Journalists were later politely asked to leave the venue to enable the President to have a closed-door interactive session with the senators. The dinner was also attended by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo; Asiwaju Bola Tinubu; Deputy President of the Senate, Ike Ekweremadu; top government officials and presidential aides. Meanwhile, Buhari has warned that his administration will not hesitate to prosecute anyone found culpable in the mismanagement of government funds provided for the upkeep of the nation’s tertiary institutions. Buhari spoke on Wednesday during a special convocation for the installation of the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi II, as the ninth Chancellor of the University of Benin, Edo State. He noted that while his administration was committed to providing funding for the revitalisation of the education sector, his regime “will not fold its arms and watch unscrupulous elements mismanage these very valuable resources.”http://punchng.com/our-roads-are-dead-buhari-admits/ 1 Like

One of the Nigerians deported from the United Kingdom on November 25, Wednesday, has narrated his story to Detained Voices. The United Kingdom has deported 50 Nigerians after having committed different offences while in the country. The deportees, made of 44 males and six females arrived into Nigeria aboard a chartered B767 aircraft belonging to PITAN Airways. The federal government had recently expressed concern over the UK’s plan to deport some 29,000 of its nationals demanding that due process be followed before any Nigerian is sent back from the UK. READ ALSO: Nigerian Deportees Arrive Lagos From The UK Read the story below: “Basically, the charter flight is for today and they’re trying to get us on the flight. But here lies the problem. “We all know very well, according to the rules anyway, if they want to take us they have to get travel documents for all of us. But then they have already issued travel certificates for everybody without anybody actually signing for it. How does that work? “Obviously there have been allegations this week against the home office and against the Nigerian embassy about, you know bribary, to make sure she issues travel documents for people without their knowledge, you understand what I mean. “According to the information we are getting, each person gets £3000. Basically, all of us have been sold to the British Government to do whatever they wants to do to us. We’ve been very calm. We’ve asked them can you get the home office to explain how they’ve got travel documents for us when we didn’t sign for it. Obviously that’s fraud because I haven’t signed for anything. READ ALSO: President Buhari Urged To Close Nigerian Embassy In The UK “How are we supposed to follow the rules and regulation when those rules and regulations of the Home Office clearly doesn’t apply to them. They actually break the law on a regular basis. They bribe people on a regular basis. “Half of the people on the flight today have family here. They shouldn’t be going to Nigeria in the first place. I left Nigeria 17 years ago, right, I was 9 years old when I left Nigeria. I had only really lived in Nigeria for 6 years. And you are telling me it’s okay you can go back there. To where? My dad passed away last month. Who am I going back to? “Who am I going back to? My sisters here, my brothers here. My niece has very big health problems. She’s got heart issues. They’re in London. She needs help on a regular basis. My sister cannot handle it. We are just sat in the room basically. We are waiting for the officers to forcefully remove us. We are just in the room waiting. Because at the end of the day, they haven’t answered our questions.”https://www.naij.com/648647-read-heartbreaking-story-one-nigerians-deported-uk.html 1 Like |

The United Kingdom Government on Wednesday deported 48 Nigerians over immigration related offences. The deportees came aboard a chartered plane that touched down at the Hajj and Cargo Terminal of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos at about 8am, our correspondent gathered. The Spokesperson of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Mr. Ekpedeme King, who confirmed the development, said the Nigerians were deported for immigration-related offences. “Some of them have overstayed their visa,” King said. According to King, it is part of the duty of the NIS officials at the airport to receive Nigeria deportees from foreign countries. Top immigration officials at MMIA, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the 48 deportees had nothing to do with the 29,000 Nigerians that the UK was planning to deport back into the country. The British Broadcasting Corporation had reported in the morning that a plane carrying about 500 Nigerians deportees from the UK had landed at the MMIA. The reported quoted some of the deportees as saying that they were not happy to come back. However, the NIS officials said only 48 Nigerians deportees arrived from the UK. Nigeria had recently expressed concern over the UK’s plan to deport 29,000 Nigerians, and has insisted that due process be followed before Nigerians are removed from the UK. The Federal Government had said the UK must ensure that those been deported are really Nigerians, medically fit to travel and have a role to play in the country – meaning they should be able to fit into Nigerian societyhttp://punchng.com/10307-2/ 1 Like |

The World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) on Wednesday in Geneva said that year 2015 would likely become the hottest year since the pre-industrial era. WMO in a report said that due to man-made global warming and the strong El Nino weather phenomenon, the average global temperature this year was set to rise one degree above the levels seen between 1880 and 1899. Ocean surfaces have also reached record temperatures, and greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere have crossed the level of 400 parts per million since January 2015. “This is all bad news for the planet,” WMO Secretary General Michel Jarraud said as he presented the preliminary annual assessment, ahead of the UN climate talks starting Nov.30 in Paris.http://dailypost.ng/2015/11/25/un-says-2015-may-become-hottest-year-on-record/
