Buhari Meets Obasanjo, Jonathan, Others Over Insecurity Today by Islie: 7:32am On Feb 22, 2018 |
Olalekan Adetayo and Tony Okafor President Muhammadu Buhari is scheduled to preside over a meeting of the Council of State on Thursday at the Presidential Villa , Abuja . This is the third time Buhari will be hosting the meeting of the council that has all living former Presidents and Heads of Government as members since he assumed office in 2015 . Those expected at the meeting scheduled for the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa include former President Shehu Shagari, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and former President Goodluck Jonathan. Others expected to be in attendance include former military Heads of State, Gen . Yakubu Gowon (retd . ), Gen . Ibrahim Babangida (retd . ) , Gen . Abdulsalami Abubakar (retd . ), as well as the former Chairman of the defunct Interim National Government , Chief Ernest Shonekan . Vice - President Yemi Osinbajo will also attend the meeting alongside the Senate President , Bukola Saraki; Speaker of the House of Representatives , Yakubu Dogara ; all living former Chief Justices of Nigeria ; all the 36 state governors and the Attorney General of the Federation , Abubakar Malami, who are all members of the council. The spate of killings being carried out by herdsmen in parts of the country is expected to form part of discussions at the meeting . The two earlier meetings of the council presided over by Buhari were held in October 2015 and September 2016. The council has the constitutional duties of advising the President in the exercise of his powers with respect to national census , prerogative of mercy , award of national honours, the Independent National Electoral Commission, the National Judicial Council and the National Population Commission. It also has the responsibility of advising the President whenever requested to do so , on the maintenance of public order within the federation or any part thereof . Meanwhile , the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2017 poll in Anambra State , Mr. Oseloka Obaze , has blamed both the federal and state governments for the proliferation of arms in the country. He also blamed the failure of policy makers in both the federal and state governments in addressing the issue of proliferation of dangerous automatic weapons for killings by herdsmen who are in possession of such arms. Obaze , who spoke on The Political Economy of Cattle Co lony in Nigeria at this year ’ s annual lecture organised by the Department of Economics of the Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka , described the frequent clashes between herdsmen and farmers as a national disaster in the making, regretting that there had been incremental militarisation of Nigeria ’ s domestic and geopolitical space . He said , “ We are witnesses to the incremental weaponising and militarisation of Nigeria ’ s domestic and geopolitical space . ” Obaze said solving the herdsmen , farmers ’ conflict required that Nigerians would rise above “ the battle space and seeking solutions that serve a common cause. ” http://punchng.com/buhari-meets-obasanjo-jonathan-others-over-insecurity-today/ lalasticlala |

Sprumbabafather:There's a great difference between the both, one is an embittered fellow who doesn't mind soaking blood of his fellow citizens in the sand just to get power, while the other is a peace loving man whose blood of his fellow doesn't worth his ambition. Thanks 220 Likes 25 Shares |

The vindictive Buhari was invited while his predecessor was on the throne to help tackle Boko Haram then, he declined simply because he was part of the set up and wouldn't want to device means to crush what he and is northern oligarchy created. Now, he's inviting the same person you declined his invitations few years ago to help tackle insecurities. 54 Likes 4 Shares |

Yet because of his vindictiveness this same useless Buhari refused to attend Council of State meetings during the height of Boko Haram security challenges during the Yar Adua and GEJ govts ...whst kind of statesman refuse to partake in nation building just because he lost an election and yet today he expects other statesmen to grace his council of State meeting to proffer solution to insecurity... Buharis has nevervmeant well for Nigerians or Nigeria 15 Likes 4 Shares |
