According to President Bola Tinubu, a total sum of NGN1TRILLION NAIRA was saved into the Federation Account in the very first month of PETROLEUM SUBSIDY REMOVAL!
Between June and December 2023, a period of SEVEN MONTHS, Nigeria should have been richer with NGN7 TRILLION NAIRA! Where is the money?

Mr. President did not give account of the gains from his policy somersault of which the economic pains/agonies are still reverberating across the nation before presenting the very offensive/insensitive
2024 APPROPRIATION BILL OF N27.5 TRILLION TO THE JOINT NATIONAL ASSEMBLY ON WEDNESDAY 29TH NOVEMBER 2023!

HAS TINUBU NOT RE-INTRODUCED FUEL SUBSIDY THROUGH THE BACK DOOR?

International market prices of PMS, AGO and other petroleum products hover between NGN800 to 850 naira per liter and in Nigeria the NNPCL which controls Nigeria's prices to sell at between NGN700 and 750 naira!
Who pays the difference between the international price and NNPCL price - of course, the Nigerian government! As Christmas dovetailed into the New Year 2024 the confused Mr President and his Wife now resort to Father/Mother Christmas approach of disbursing liquid cash to all and sundry "in the spirit of Yuletide?"
And whereas the AFTERTHOUGHT would have been very unnecessary if Tinubu had opted for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT AS DIVINELY INSTRUCTED!

His government would not have needed to purchase NGN160 million naira worth of FOREIGN SUVS for a very small percentage of opportunist politicians on BORROWED FUNDS and continue to pay them humongous allowances that should have taken care of EDUCATION, HEALTH, ROADS, TRANSPORTATION, WELFARE FOR THE DISABLED AND THOSE WHO ARE PHYSICALLY CHALLENGED AND INSECURITY WHICH HAS INTERNATIONALLY INDEXED NIGERIA AS THE WORST CRIME-INFESTED NATION IN THE WORLD!

Now at Christmas and New year the Federal government resulted to dish out MORE "PADDED PALLIATIVES" THROUGH TRANSPORTATION from the 21st December to 1st January 2024 TO COMMUTERS from East to West, North to South who would pay 50% of their fares to cushion their suffer rings while TRAIN SERVICES FROM ONE END TO ANOTHER ACROSS THE COUNTRY WAS TOTALLY FREE OF CHARGE!

AND Tinubu says he has removed SUBSIDY! WHO IS FOOLING WHO? This administration MUST put a stop to these shenanigans! The President and his cabal politicians know the solution to this problem in which only about TWO MILLION people are being FED FAT while the rest of the 220 million LOOK AT THE MASTERS TABLE FOR CRUMBS!
The PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM has virtually destroyed the economy of this nation and there can be no better time than NOW to opt for a PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM WHICH IS VIRTUALLY COST- FREE! PATRIOTIC Nigerians are ready to serve without collecting salaries or any form of ALLOWANCES! With great zeal and commitment they are ready to work on PART TIME to bring the nation back to lost glory before MILITARY INCURSION INTO POLITICS IN 1966!

A RUDDERLESS SHIP WITHOUT A CAPTAIN!

Nigeria is a country of leadership without genuine set of RULE OF LAW!
The MILITARY CONSTITUTION bequeathed to the politicians from 29th May 1999 is a mere paper tiger because consecutive administrations disobeyed COURT ORDERS WITH IMPUNITY! The Paperwork titled Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, is just gathering dusts on the desks and cabinets in the offices of Civil Servants/ Public Officers across the nation at both Federal and State levels!

In spite of its faulty antecedents, the 1999 Constitution however did not make provision for the office of FIRST LADY OF NIGERIA but Mr. Tinubu appropriated NGN 1.5 billion naira for the purchase of vehicles for the non-existent office in his 2023 Supplementary Budget which was approved by NASS amidst public outcry!

AND WHEREAS REMI TINUBU HAD ALREADY LAUNCHED AN NGO!

According media reports and News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Mrs. Oluremi Tinubu, in anticipation of the prestigious position and office of First Lady of Nigeria on Friday 23rd June 2023, launched a programme to empower women, youth and children in the country.

The first lady launched the programme, Renewed Hope Initiative (RHI), at the State House in Abuja. Speaking with journalists after the inaugural meeting of RHI governing board members, Tinubu said the programme would target vulnerable groups and bring them closer to the government.

She said that the initiative would focus on five key areas – agriculture, education, economic empowerment, health and socio-investment.
Beneficiaries will register with the corporate affairs commission and open a bank account to qualify to be considered,” NAN quoted the president’s wife as saying.

“We hope to take off with unspent funds from the 2023 campaign purse after which we shall solicit funds from private organisations, international donors and non-governmental organisations.

“The programme will enable us to assist the vulnerable groups. We shall try to see what we can do to naturally meet their needs.

We shall have zonal meetings which will involve the wives of the state governors.”
The governing board members of the initiative include the first lady, Nana Shettima, wife of the vice president, and Salamatu Gbajabiamila, wife of the chief of staff.
Others are Chioma Uzodimma, wife of the governor of Imo state and Betta Edu, All Progressives Congress (APC) national women leader.
Presently Remi is disbursing NGN100,000 Cash palliatives to 250 Vulnerable Elders in each of the 36 States of the Federation!
Where is the source of the money? OF COURSE, THE CITIZENS WHO ARE THE DRAWERS OF THE WATER AND HEWERS OF THE WOOD!

ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO TINUBU'S MALADMINISTRATION! UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM IS THE RIGHT WAY TO GO!

On Sunday 3rd December, 2023, the Nigerian Army in a drone strike accidentally bombed, a procession of worshippers resulting in a deadly casualty of about 120 innocent lives! But in less than a week when the nation was still in the mourning mood the number three man in the hierarchy of governance rolled out the drums to celebrate his 61st birthday anniversary which was not even a landmark occasion! Chief Godswill Akpabio threw caution to the winds, bombarded the Akwa Ibom's Stadium named after him on 9th December 2023, where thousands of poor hungry masses had been gathered to celebrate the birthday in his home State which he ruled as PDP Governor from 2007-2015!

Mrs. 'Remi Tinubu represented her husband who was still on a jamboree in Dubai at the Climate Change Summit with 1,400 entourage on tax payers expenses! Some political analysts posited that it was "a show of political assertion" in a People’s Democratic Party (PDP), State which is in opposition to the Federal APC Government which he represented. The display of insensitivity by this opportunist politician continued at a colloquium in Abuja on Thursday 14th of December 2023 where his partner in sadism, Mr. 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu was seated as the most distinguished chairman of the occasion!
WHERE IS MORAL JUSTIFICATION IN THE RECKLESS EXHIBITION OF AFFLUENCE TO OVER 150 MILLION MULTI-DIMENSIONALLY POOR MASSES IN NIGERIA? Desperate Nigerian politicians would go to any extent to remain in relevance or reckoning!

1) Here is a man who confessed that he had no AUTHENTIC BIRTHDAY because his uncle could not ascertain when he was born!
2) Following his loss of popularity and failure secure the Senatorial Seat in 2015, crossed over to the All Progressives Congress (APC), and was appointed Minister for Niger Delta by former President Buhari
3) Allegations of impropriety made EFCC to invite him for questioning as Niger Delta Minister but has the matter died a natural death?
4) He eventually found his way into the Senate and became Minority Leader!
5) Akpabio's ambition pushed him to also purchase APC'S NGN100m naira form for the post of President which he lost but manoeuvred back to the Senate with diabolical ingenuity to become the President of the 10th Senate!


THE ROLE OF OLISA AGBAKOBA (SAN) AT AKPABIO'S BIRTHDAY COLLOQUIUM!

Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), is a man that the Editorial Board of Zion B-BC Newsletter holds in very high esteem. A trail-blazer, a cerebral of high academic distinction in the legal profession, an achiever par excellence and a human rights activist.
BUT he was a wrong candidate for guest speakership at a gathering of "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves!"

In a Tweet after the innocuous gathering, Dr. Agbakoba said: "I was a guest speaker at the lecture colloquium in honour of the Senate President Godswill Obot Akpabio (CON). My presentation "Volcanic Explosion of an Uncommon an Agenda for Development", focused on issue of governance revenue generation and job creation." His presentation on the occasion was professionally crafted and on point but was completely defeated when during his comical response to the gathering, the celebrant posited that CORRUPTION had debuted in the polity before Independence in 1959 and had come to stay! It is pertinent to remind the legal luminary that constitution amendments in the past 23 years has become anathema - a conduit pipe for the legislators to perpetrate rooted corruption at every turn. Past amendments which had consumed billions of Naira were always discarded without Presidential assent!

He should have realised that restructuring the country to Regional System has become analogue and his advocacy should have been on the Change to UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM THROUGH A POPULAR REFERENDUM!

Agbakoba MUST not accept any appointment from this gang of sadists and descendants of EMPEROR NERO WHO KEPT ROLLICKING WHILE ROME WAS ON FIRE!
He MUST not soil his hands with Red Portage after about FOUR DECADES of very successful legal practice.
"A word is enough for the wise!"

Between the Armed Forced and armed terrorists, who has the greatest casualties of human bloodshed in Nigeria? During the 30-month-old Biafra War which took place in Nigeria between July 1967 and January 1970, it was officially estimated that not less than Two Million persons - mostly innocent citizens were killed through military warfare!

Secession from the geographical conglomerate of Nigeria by the entire Eastern Region was at the root of the military intervention by the then Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon but
allegations of genocide against the populace eventually took the center stage before eventual surrender to Federal Troops. The thirty-year military interregnum which ensued thereafter virtually birthed angry and unforgiving citizens to engage in acts of insurrection, brigandage and terrorism which politically constituted authority have failed to contain to date!
Among contentious insecurities are the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and its armed group, Eastern Security Network (ESN); which never gave up the demand for secession from Nigeria;

An Islamic group identified as Boko Haram with no clear-political ideology than that Western Education was anathema to North East Nigeria citizens and believed it could carve out a Caliphate out of the Region had for over 14 years virtually destroyed Nigeria's economy through unorthodox guerilla warfare of "hit and run tactics"!
Boko Haram eventually became Octopus with several tentacles which metamorphosed the armed Fulani Herdsmen in order to perpetrate all geo-political zones; as gunmen, bandits, kidnappers, assassins etc!

These enemies of State have also snuffed out innocent lives in their millions!

Nigeria's very corrupt consecutive administrations in the process further gave vent to terrorism by:
1) Underfunding all the security apparatuses to allow the ragamuffins to gain upper hand at the various theaters of war!
2) Able-bodied citizens were discouraged to seek employment in the Armed Forces and the Police where security funds were always allegedly misappropriated by State Actors who would rather purchase antiquated weapons instead of high-tech and sophisticated equipments that would ensure victory at any encounter!
3) In view of the lackadaisical approach of politicians to selfishly equip themselves with all the luxurious items for grandeur existence to the detriment of the Citizens whom they swore on oath to succour, those in the security wings would rather allow crimes/criminalities subsist rather than get killed unsung, unwailed!

BUT FOR THE PATRIOTIC AND DILIGENT AMONG THE PERSONNEL, WHO WOULD RATHER BATTLE/GAMBLE WITH THE ACCURSED WEAPONS NOW HAVE THEIR HANDS SOILED WITH THE BLOOD OF OVER 120 INNOCENT RELIGIOUS WORSHIPPERS WHOM THEY MISTOOK FOR TERRORISTS!

Below is a Channels Media account of The latest Kaduna Massacre:

‘Kaduna Bombing Regrettable’, Army Chief Apologises

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, on Tuesday, described the deadly airstrike that killed 85 people and injured several others in Kaduna State as regrettable.

The army chief, who visited the site of the mishap that has thrown the nation into a sorrowful mood, apologised on behalf of the Nigerian Army to the community, the government, and the people of Kaduna State.
Lagbaja, who visited the victims two days after the accidental strike in the Igabi area of the North-West state, promised to guard against such an occurrence in the conduct of military operations.
“My assessment of that unfortunate incident of Sunday, December 3, 2023, is that it is grave, regrettable. We will do everything possible to prevent such an occurrence from happening again in the conduct of our operations going forward,” he said about one of the country’s deadliest military bombing accidents.
The army chief was accompanied by principal staff officers from the army headquarters and the General Officer Commanding 1 Division and also met with the Dangaladima Zazau, the District Head of Rigasa, Architect Aminu Idris, other leaders, and members of the community.

Eighty-five were killed in an air strike by the Nigerian Army at Tudun Biri village in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State, in one of the country’s deadliest military bombing accidents.
The North-West zonal spokesman of the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Halima Suleiman, told Channels Television that 66 other victims were also injured in Sunday’s bombing.
She said the fatality figure was gotten from the local authorities after the burial of the victims on Monday.

Initial Confusion

Confusion had trailed Sunday’s accidental air strike with the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) saying it was not responsible for the bombing. Hours later, the Kaduna State Government said the Army had taken responsibility for the accidental mistake.

Nigeria’s armed forces often rely on air strikes in their battle against so-called bandit militias in the North-West and North-East of the country, where jihadists have been fighting for more than a decade. However, such air strikes have not been without controversies and accidental bombings and alleged miscalculations, with innocent Nigerians, including soldiers as casualties. Earlier in 2023, NAF took responsibility over a fatal airstrike on Kwatiri, a Nasarawa village. At least 39 persons were killed and six others injured in the airstrike that occurred on 24 January. In 2021, about 20 soldiers on ground were allegedly slain in Mainok, Borno State, when a NAF fighter jet responding to attacks on a military camp by Boko Haram insurgents bombed the military camp based on a wrong coordinate.

Tinubu Orders Probe

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Tuesday ordered an investigation after the army acknowledged one of its drones accidentally struck Tudun Biri village as residents were celebrating a Muslim festival.
“President Tinubu describes the incident as very unfortunate, disturbing, and painful, expressing indignation and grief over the tragic loss of Nigerian lives,” the presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale said in a statement.

Governor Uba Sani of Kaduna State also ordered a full investigation into Sunday’s incident, reassuring the citizens that their security and protection will be prioritised in the sustained fight against terrorists, bandits, and other criminal elements.
While directing the immediate evacuation of the injured to the Barau Dikko Teaching Hospital for emergency medical attention, the governor disclosed that The Kaduna State Government will be responsible for their treatment and related logistics. He, however, appealed to the affected community and all citizens of the state to be calm and continue to support the security forces and the state government in the battle against terrorists, bandits, kidnappers, and other criminal elements in the state.

TRUTH OF THE MATTER!

If the entire military hierarchy were sacked and all families of the departed mourn daily, the deed remain done!
The few righteous in Tinubu's government MUST rise to the occasion by speaking TRUTH TO POWER!
There must be a very effective coordination between members of the security forces that have lost hope in consecutive governments and those who are the determined to see the country through by eliminating corruption in all facets of government for accountability to take firm root!
Looted security funds must be probed and recovered in order to boost the morale of Nigeria’s once internationally acclaimed, trusted and diligent troops!

Nigerians can no longer bear these pains caused by opportunists in government! The sure way to go is Unicameral Parliamentary System of government through popular REFERENDUM!

While world leaders and delegates at the United Arab Emirate (UAE), UN Conference of Parties COP 28 Climate Change Summit ( 30th November - 12th December), 2023, brainstormed on how to accelerate measures to aggressively eliminate green house emissions through collective drive, the Nigerian President and his team poached for portfolio investments on the sidelines! Nigeria had been complicit in gas flaring for more than 53 years from the time when massive exploration began in the 70s and hard hardly contributed funds to the world body to mitigate the horrible negative effects of greenhouse emission into the climate! In a lack-lustre speech, Tinubu pledged to end gas flaring in Nigeria as part of its contribution to global push to reduce methane emissions. He also said Nigeria has consolidated on gas export and domestic consumption as part partners for renewable energy.
He confessed that though his country was committed to energy mix, he believed that the two biggest economies US and China whom he described as the "biggest culprits" should act real fast because the Earth needed urgent healing!
The theme of COP28 is "Transition to Clean Energy", 123 Countries are in attendance.

According to Wikipedia;

"Due to climate change, Northern Nigeria is seeing greater heatwaves and lengthier, more erratic rainfall. New problems such extreme droughts, floods, deforestation, pollution, and food shortages have resulted from this." Shortly before he embarked on the Dubai escapade, Mr. 'Bola Tinubu had presented to the joint National Assembly (NASS) Legislators a total sum of NGN27.5 trillion naira as the 2024 Budget Appropriation for the flagging economy in which no mention was made in respect of alternative renewable energy mass transportation for commuters! And whereas the larger bulk of the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR), of the very ambitious budget would derive from CLIMATE-POLLUTANT CRUDE OIL and ancillaries which were even beyond the reach of over 133 million multi-dimensionally poor Nigerians who are victims of Tinubu's policy somersault of SUBSIDY REMOVAL!

FOSSIL-FUEL or Hydrocarbon is climate change unfriendly and Nigeria which had refused to change status quo but believes strongly that Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), derivable from CRUDE OIL would last for eternity side by side with RENEWABLE ENERGY COMPONENTS LIKE SOLAR, ELECTRIC OR COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG), must be ready to face painful consequences!
CRUDE OIL EXPLORATION/GAS FLARING would remain detrimental to the gradual destruction of the OZONE LAYER in no distant future if other world leaders behaved nonchalantly like the Nigerian President.

Nigeria possesses FOUR GOVERNMENT REFINERIES, WHICH IN TWENTY YEARS ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF TURN-AROUND MAINTENANCE!
DANGOTE'S 650-MILLION BARRELS PER DAY MODERN REFINERY SHOULD COME ON BOARD THIS DECEMBER.
AND ADDED TO THESE ARE CLUSTERS OF MODULAR REFINERIES which have largely contributed to land pollution/degradation for years on end due to massive exploration and exploitation which needed urgent attention of reversal!
Nigeria's 1400 Delegates will attend and collect between USD 900-1500 each per day!

THE NIGERIAN 2024 BUDGET IS A CUT AND PASTE OF OLD TEMPLATES!

The Appropriation has followed annual ritual of deficit budgets always funded through external borrowings (NGN9.8 trillion for 2024), and the clinical dissection has begun in earnest! Between Wednesday 29th November and Saturday 2nd December 2023, the document has gone through Second Reading of both Chambers for it to meet the annual January to December cycle of Budget Implementation in spite of the fact that it represented a cacophony of the previous ones devoid of all basic dividends through institutional inadequacies and security infrastructures!

HAS ANY FEDERAL ANNUAL NIGERIAN BUDGET EVER BEEN FULLY EXECUTED OR IMPLEMENTED SINCE 1999?

Consecutive corrupt politicians have all become multi-billionaires over the years because no annual budget in 23 years was fully executed or implemented. Year-on-year the ROADS remain impassable, public potable water - a dream pipe; EDUCATION - a mirage; EMPLOYMENT - paper tiger; HOUSING - marked as demolition structures; INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION - comatose; MANUFACTURING - replaced with imported finished products, including PMS; CAPITAL EXPENDITURE IS FOR - working allowances of politicians and civil servants, salaries/emoluments, imported Sport Utility Vehicles SUVs @ NGN160 million naira each - housing/overseas holiday allowances, domestic staff allowances, etc, etc, all fully paid in billions/trillions of naira on annual basis! This time around, Tinubu has promised national defense/internal security, local job creation, macro-economic stability and poverty reduction!
AND WHEREAS THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM ALBATROSS OF ANNUAL BUDGET PADDING BY THE LEGISLATORS REMAINED A RECURRING DECIMAL BECAUSE OF EXECUTIVE COMPLICITY!

BETWEEN THE EXECUTIVE AND THE LEGISLATURE - WHO OVERSIGHTS WHO?
President Tinubu presented TWO SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGETS as addendums to the BUHARI'S, 2023 farewell budget to which no accountability had been adduced before the latest 2024 BUDGET OF RENEWED HOPE?
WHAT DID CHINA, SINGAPORE, SOUTH KOREA, JAPAN AND THE ASIAN TIGERS DO DIFFERENTLY TO ATTAIN CURRENT ECONOMIC PROWESS?
" Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise": (Prov 6:6-.

THEY SHUT THEIR BORDERS AGAINST FOREIGN AND LUXURIOUS GOODS; remained content with what they could produce from within and as such were able to destroy all tendencies of unpatriotism and developed the Spirit of Camaraderie, national pride and built up their Nations to become world economic leaders in their own rights!
They are all practicing true democracy in which all citizens are involved in equal representations while poverty has been completely erased to almost zero level!

THE ONLY ROAD OUT OF THE SHAMEFUL INTERNATIONAL INDEXING AS THE MOST-CORRUPT AND POVERTY CAPITAL OF THE WORLD IS TO DUMP THE PRODIGAL PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM AND EMBRACE THE UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM WHICH IS GRASS-ROOT ORIENTED AND VERY COST-FRIENDLY!

ABRIDGED VERSION OF TINUBU'S 2024 BUDGET OF RENEWED HOPE?

In his presentation, he declared, “The 2024 Appropriation has been themed the Budget of Renewed Hope. The proposed budget seeks to achieve job-rich economic growth, macro-economic stability, a better investment environment, enhanced human capital development, as well as poverty reduction and greater access to social security.”
As contained in a document released by the Minister of Budget and Economic Planning, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, this is the breakdown and highlights of critical allocations in the 2024 budget.

EDUCATION: N2.18 Trillion (7.9% of Budget)
Breakdown
N1.23 trillion – Amount provisioned for Federal Ministry of Education and its agencies (Recurrent & Capital expenditure)
N251.47 billion – Amount provisioned for Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC)
N700.0 billion – Transfers to the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) for infrastructure projects in Tertiary institutions

HEALTH: N1.33 Trillion (5% of Budget)
N1.07 trillion – Amount provisioned for Federal Ministry of Health and its agencies (Recurrent & Capital expenditure)

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT & POVERTY REDUCTION PROGRAMMES:
N534 billion (2% of Budget) – Amount provisioned for Social Investments / Poverty Reduction Programmes.

ALL LEGISLATORS MUST DECLARE THEIR ASSETS AND LIABILITIES NOW!
While the legislators are busy dissecting the BOOTY to their own tastes through PERFECTED PADDING (Courtesy Hon. Abdulmumin Jibrin, Chairman, House Committee Chairman, Finance, 8TH NASS), THEY SHOULD EFFECT PUBLIC DECLARATION OF THEIR ASSETS AND LIABILITIES ACCORDING TO THE 1999 CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA BEFORE 1ST JANUARY, 2024, FOR ALL NIGERIAN ELECTORATE TO PERUSE AND STUDY!
IT IS MOST SENSIBLE TO PREVENT THE TREASURY LOOTERS FROM BREAKING INTO THE STRONG ROOM INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING LATER!
"A Stitch in time saves Nine"!

The Supreme Court of Nigeria is poised to face a litmus test when the Kano State Gubernatorial Elections Petition which was nullified on technical grounds at the Appeal Court will be tabled before the Apex Court for final adjudication!

Since resumption of the transient democracy in 1999, when retired military presidents from Olusegun Obasanjo including their civilian counterparts relegated the rule of law in the country to employment of illicit monies to suppress Justice, the Judiciary has been on the receiving end of public condemnation!

Election rigging cases by incumbent governments always sailed through in their favor even when evidences were adduced that incumbent Mr. President Obasanjo vocally threatened "do or die" victory for his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), in the year 2007!

Hundreds of human lives were lost in that presidential election, but Mr. Obasanjo and his collaborators won at the law courts!

Twenty three years on through institutional corruption, the Court has lost its position as the last hope of the common man but now the preserve of the money bags!

The Electorate are all at loggerheads with biased, lopsided 2023 Tribunals and Appeal Courts judgements which they believed favoured the highest bidders and have organized several Street protests to vent their displeasure!

KANO STATE Governorship Appeal Court judgement which ousted the incumbent is trending and security tension is high in the old Northern capital city!

Court Of Appeal Affirms Tribunal Judgment, Sacks Kano Governor

The court agreed with the judgment of the tribunal, ruling that the fielding of Abba Yusuf was in breach of the Electoral Law.

The Guardian Updated November 17, 2023, Report is as follows:

The Court of Appeal in Abuja has upheld the ruling of the Election Petitions Tribunal sacking Governor Abba Yusuf of Kano State.

In its judgment, the Appeal Court agreed with the judgment of the tribunal, ruling that the fielding of Abba Yusuf was in breach of the Electoral Law as he was not qualified to contest that Election.
The verdict comes nearly two months after the Kano Governorship Election Petition Tribunal, on September 20, sacked Yusuf, declaring the All Progressives Congress (APC) candidate, Nasiru Gawuna, as the winner of the March 18 2023 election.
Yusuf, who contested on the platform of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), was declared the winner of the election by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) after the poll in March.

The tribunal deducted 165,663 votes from Yusuf’s total as invalid votes, stating that the affected ballot papers were not stamped or signed and therefore declared invalid.

The ruling came about six months after the APC candidate conceded defeat to Yusuf in the wake of INEC’s presentation of the certificate of return to the NNPP candidate.

In a two-minute audio statement on March 29, Gawuna stated that “as a good Muslim”, he was compelled to accept the outcome of the election, whether in his favour or not.

He added that although his campaign team had requested a review of the election results by INEC, upon review, the commission had found Yusuf to be the winner of the election.

In the wake of the judgment, the APC hailed it and described it as a show of the vibrancy of the nation’s judiciary.

“As we applaud the judiciary for its courage and professionalism in discharging its important constitutional duties, we urge it to continue to rise above blackmail and intimidation by some self-serving political interests, and continue to give full expression to the tenets of the law, irrespective of the identity or status of the parties involved,” the party’s spokesman Felix Morka said.

POSITION AND ROLE OF THE JUDICIARY IN THE 1999 CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

The Judiciary occupies the third position in the hierarchy of the Three Tiers of Government according to Nigeria's 1999 Military Presidential Constitution. In other climes, the Judiciary is rated numero uno because the administration of any form of government rests squarely on the Rule of Law in order to avoid chaotic situations through policy somersaults!

As arbiter between the Executive and the Legislature, the Judiciary must remain a very articulate, strong, reliable and veritable institution to be trusted by the Citizens in whose domain squarely rests SOVEREIGNTY when comes to fairness, equity and JUSTICE in respect of ARBITRATION!

However the cliché which states that the Judiciary is the last hope of the common man should have accommodated an addendum that, it is also the hope of t institutional money bags whose only credential is possession of a Secondary School Certificate - Pass or Fail - to vie for elective positions!

The Federal Republic of Nigeria is unfortunately saddled with the Office of such characters highly favored by the bogus constitution to call the shots in all aspects of execution of the document from the Executive through the Legislature to the Local Government Areas (LGAs), in any manner as they deemed fit in all manner of fiscal, monetary or financial matters!

The area of judicial manipulation is the simplest adjudication for Mr. President WHO HIRES AND FIRES at his whims and caprices!

AGGRIEVED POLITICIANS OF OPPOSITION PARTIES ALWAYS LOST AT THE COURTS OVER "TECHNICALITIES"!
QUADRENNIAL ELECTIONS MUST BEGIN WITH FINANCIAL APPROPRIATIONS TO THE ELECTION UMPIRE - HIRED AND PAID BY THE PRESIDENT!
LITMUS TEST AWAITS SUPREME COURT TO PUT THE RECORDS STRAIGHT IN THE CONTROVERSIAL KANO STATE GUBERNATORIAL APPEAL COURT JUDGEMENT IN THE COMING DAYS!

ARE POLITICAL OFFICES NOW MERCHANDISED BY THE COURTS TO HIGHEST BIDDERS?

Nothing is hidden from the Almighty God! Whatever a Man Sows, that he shall also reap - especially Mr. BAT who has now reduced the sorrows, agonies and pains of over 150 Multi-dimensionally poverty stricken Nigerians into a COMEDY THAT SHOULD QUALIFY HIS INAUGURATION GAFFES FOR GUINNESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS!
A SADISTIC SHOW OF AN ACCIDENTAL PUBLIC SERVANT IN GOVERNMENT!

The sudden and disastrous end of UNREPENTANT NIGERIAN POLITICAL OUTCASTS who have bluntly refused to return to the State Coffers all illicitly acquired wealth of several years through the wasteful Presidential System and have also reneged on the popular demand for a costless Unicameral Parliamentary System has begun! It began to manifest through a raging PLAGUE that is already consuming them and their cronies with all manner of incurable diseases from 1st November 2023 and would last till midnight 31st December 2023 when all of them would have been consumed!

This divine prophetic judgement which will be executed in stages is a re-enactment of the Ten Biblical Egyptian Plagues (Exodus
7-12:36), against all OUTCAST CORRUPT POLITICIANS in Nigeria!

The punishments will not affect all RIGHTEOUS POLITICIANS who had refused to eat the fruits of corruption in any form because they have their Refuge in GOSHEN!

In addition to the TEN PLAGUES, THE THREE CORONA VIRUSES STRAINS will be added to their calamity and also THE VICIOUS WORMS that ATE ALIVE THE BIBLICAL KING HEROD WILL ALSO EAT THEM ALL UP ONE AFTER THE OTHER UNTIL THEY ALL PERISH FOR THE SIN OF DISOBEDIENCE TO SET NIGERIANS FREE FROM POLITICAL/ECONOMIC BONDAGE!

It was time for Nigerians who had suffered untold economic hardships in their own country for 63 years to be set free to enjoy the Parliamentary System and breath fresh air of FREEDOM!
Mr. Tinubu and his cabal have no choice than to obey Divine Commandment or face His Wrath!

WHO ARE THE OUTCASTS?
1) All those who have perpetrated systemic corruption and have turned Nigeria's economy into a similitude of a Banana Republic from 1960-2023!
2) The money launderers with questionable sources of income; who have stolen the mandate and sovereignty from the people and robbed the polity of collective patrimony and have amassed stupendous liquid cash that cannot pass through the commercial Banks of the country!
3) They are those who have shared the Oil Wells amongst themselves with the succinct support of State Security apparatuses at the detriment of indigenous Host communities who dwell in penury and abject poverty.
4) All political appointees in the EXECUTIVE THE LEGISLATURE, JUDICIARY, FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTS not excluding MINISTRIES, DEPARTMENTS AND AGENCIES (MDAs), who have all become multi-billionaires/trillionaires through politics in the past 63 years of Nigeria as a sovereign nation!
5) They executed OIL THEFTS with executive impunity/precision with the NNPCL (The Four Towers of Corruption), as partners in crime!
6) They are those who have denied the very fundamental objectives of the citizens as stipulated in Chapter II of an illegal/unscrutinized 1999 Secret Constitution carried out through military surrogates!

Excerpts of Violated Rights of Nigerian Citizens in Bondage as follows:

CHAPTER II
FUNDAMENTAL OBJECTIVES AND DIRECTIVE PRINCIPLES OF STATE POLICY!

¶13. It shall be the duty and responsibility of all organs of government, and of all authorities and persons, exercising legislative, executive or judicial powers, to conform to, observe and apply the provisions of this Chapter of this Constitution.
14. (1) The Federal Republic of Nigeria shall be a State based on the principles of democracy and social justice. FALSE!

NGN2.17 TRILLION SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET IS BIGGER FRAUD THAN P&ID'S $6.6 BILLION ROBBERY!

Nigeria would have paid a whopping sum of USD$6.6 billion plus interest to a foreign company known and addressed as Process and Industrial Developments (P&ID), which was in August 2019 granted leave by the UK Business and Property Courts to enforce a 2013 award against Nigeria by three-member Arbitration Tribunal which relied on the Application Act 1996 (England and Wales) and the Nigerian Arbitration and Conciliation Act 2004!

However, it has now been fully exposed by the British Court that the P&ID failed gas deal was a voodoo contract perfected through bribes to Nigerian enemies of state employed in the civil service of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

In our Zion B-BC Newsletter Vol.8, 320th Edition dated 29th September 2019, and titled, "Nigerians Had Suffered International Condemnation Through Perpetual Bad Leadership!", We mentioned similar dubious foreign contracts bribery scandals especially during the military regime of late General Sani Abacha by a US Based Oil Drilling Company called HALLIBURTON!

But greater emphasis was devoted to the foreign Irish Company P&ID which planned to steal USD$9.6billion dollars by hook and crook from Nigeria!
Please find below excerpts from that publication which are very instructive to the favourable judgment of Monday 30thOctober 2023:

"WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN 2010 AND 2019?
The 2010 controversial contract was awarded to the Irish Portfolio Investment Company, incorporated in the British Virgin Island, by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Administration headed by President Ebele Jonathan, and from all narratives, the contract was shrouded in much secrecy within the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Towers where it was signed, sealed and delivered without the approval of the Federal Executive Council (FEC)!
Although the Change Administration of APC under the watch of President Muhammadu Buhari, took over governance in 2015, not much of the said botched contract and judgement in favour of P&ID was revealed in the public domain until now!
 WHO INTRODUCED P&ID TO NIGERIA? Investigations are still on to unravel how the foreigners infiltrated Nigeria's economic space!
 WHO ARE THEIR NIGERIAN PARTNERS & BOARD MEMBERS? None!
 WHERE IS THEIR HEAD OFFICE LOCATION AND BRANCH OUTLETS IN NIGERIA? General T. Y. Danjuma's Offices in Taraba & Abuja?
 WHAT WAS THEIR STAFF STRENGTH IN NIGERIA IN 2010? No staff outside Messrs.Michael Quinn & Brendan Cahill, who allegedly stole the Gas Contract IDEA from retired General T. Y. Danjuma!
DOES P&ID POSSESS ANY TRACK RECORD IN PROCESS/DEVELOPMENT?"

CNN REPORT
Nigeria’s government is celebrating a “landmark victory” after a UK court ruled it was not liable for a multibillion-dollar payout earlier awarded to a private firm over a failed gas project.

The West African nation was previously ordered by an arbitration tribunal in 2017 to pay $6.6 billion, plus interest in damages to a British Virgin Islands-based engineering firm, Process and Industrial Developments Limited (P&ID).

The company had sued for compensation over lost profits following the collapse of a 20-year deal with Nigerian authorities in 2010 to build a gas processing facility.

The awarded sum and accumulated interest had now exceeded $11 billion, nearly half of Nigeria’s federal budget for this year.

If upheld by the London court, the tribunal’s $11 billion payout to P&ID would have taken a devastating toll on Nigeria’s already struggling economy, which owes billions of dollars in debt and grapples with high inflation and a cost-of-living crisis.

What went wrong?

Disagreements after both parties blamed each other for defaulting on obligations led to the failed deal and sparked a lengthy legal battle.

Lawyers for the Nigerian government had argued that P&ID induced the country’s officials with bribes for the contract to be awarded to the firm. P&ID denied this allegation.

Delivering judgment on Monday, Judge Robin Knowles set aside the earlier ruling by the tribunal and concluded that the gas deal was “obtained by fraud” and “procured … contrary to public policy.”

Knowles added: “This case has also, sadly, brought together a combination of examples of what some individuals will do for money. Driven by greed and prepared to use corruption; giving no thought to what their enrichment would mean in terms of harm for others.”

Nigeria’s Attorney General Lateef Fagbemi told state media after the ruling that the deal with the P&ID did not follow due process.

“The purported agreement by P&ID was conceived, nurtured, and executed purportedly in fraud,” he said, adding that the Nigerian government had been under pressure to reach a settlement prior to Monday’s ruling.

“There was so much pressure to settle … but the president insisted he was not going to allow corruption any place in his administration … and his insistence on this has proven him right.”

Nigeria’s President Bola Tinubu welcomed Knowles’ ruling, describing it as a “landmark victory” that “is not for Nigeria alone” but “for our long exploited continent and for the developing world at large, which has for too long been on the receiving end of unjust economic malpractice and overt exploitation.”

TOTAL 2023 BUDGET IS NOW NGN5.268 TRILLION + NGN2.17 TRILLION = NGN7.285 TRILLION SOURCED THROUGH EXTERNAL BORROWED FUNDS!

Tinubu plans to disburse the already approved supplementary budget in the following scandalous manner:
1. NGN13.5 billion naira for renovation of the Aso Villa.
2.NGN7.3 billion naira on cars for the State House.
3. NGN57.6 billion naira for foreign Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), for the National Assembly Lawmakers.
4. NGN 12.7 billion for the presidential air fleet.
5. NGN 5 billion naira for a presidential yatch.
6. The Nigerian Navy will also receive additional NGN 62.8 billion four operations outside of the five billion naira for the purchase of the presidential yatch!
7. NGN 1.5 billion for purchase of vehicles for the office of the First Lady.

PEANUTS FOR EDUCATIONAL LOAN FUND!
Although Mr Bola Tinubu has been affirmed as a graduate of the Chicago State University USA, he does not really believe in human capital development which should serve as the greatest foundation for social economic emancipation for the nation's recalcitrant indebtedness!

He has therefore appropriated a paltry sum of NGN5.5 billion naira to the Education Loan Fund under the Students Loan Act but following public outcry appropriation for the YATCH HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED TO THE EDUCATION LOAN FUND!
He however promised that 15 million out of the 133 multi-dimensional poor Nigerians would be beneficiaries of the NGN 1.1 trillion naira Conditional Cash Transfer Scheme which began under the Buhari Administration.

Mr. BAT has recuperated from previous globe trottings and will embark on further foreign journeys to Saudi Arabia to attract more investments!

FOR THE TAXPAYERS INFORMATION!

80% of annual revenue is deployed to DEBT SERVICING - NOT PAYMENT!

In spite of the fact that the presidential system of government is too expensive for a developing nation like Nigeria the politicians have stuck to it because it is through the system that they can live in affluence through institutional corruption!

With the introduction of a Unicameral Parliamentary System of government through REFERENDUM these new set of OUTCASTS must be eliminated permanently from governnance!



[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]


I am, yours sincerely, THE WATCHMAN Dr. David B.A. Olufon. 08130669886, 08080243066. g-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

President 'Bola Tinubu in his first impromptu but very insensitive reaction to the Supreme Court's verdict which affirmed his candidature as the 16th President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, told Nigerians to have " a change of mind set; let us be positive for our country... develop spirit of more work, dedication, patriotism, after all we did not promise an ELDORADO from the beginning.... we need to contribute in all ways possible ... it’s time for work.. more hard work... not for our self aggrandizement .... but do this for the coming generation .... of our children and grandchildren....!

An Eldorado is an illusion, mirage of the existence of a well- endowed country in the South America which had all resources - especially abundant gold and where everything works perfectly! Obsessed Spanish explorers never found the nation!
Should Mr.Tinubu add insult to the injuries perpetrated through his gullibility on sudden removal of fuel subsidy without requisite palliatives to cushion the ripple effects of the sufferings on over 130 million multi-dimensional poverty-striken population?

THE SUPREME COURT CONSENSUS JUDGMENT IS REGRETTABLE!

The Nigerian 1999 Military Constitution could be best described as a conglomeration of obnoxious laws and treaties deliberately enacted to further subject socio-economically battered citizens to perpetual suffering by consecutive oligarchic governments forced upon them! Through the controversial document Mr. 'Bola Tinubu has bagged a four-year opportunity to free accommodation, meals, medical tourism, holidays etc. through a consensus Apex Court decision. The Supreme Court on Thursday 26th October 2023 was forced to uphold the victory of President Bola Tinubu in the February 25 Presidential election.
It turned out a hatchet job for the SEVEN SUPREME COURT JUDGES who for the reason of their special number were expected to carry out a perfect national assignment.
Biblically the Number 7 (seven), stands for perfection but their hands were tied due to the provisions of the obnoxious national document which turned out to be their albatross - the "legal working tool" and had no choice than to carry out the legal duties as guided by the extant laws as enacted in the bogus Constitution and the 2020 Electoral Laws as amended! While the learned judges were pained to the heart because the LAW WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN AN ASS, the motley gang of sadists which gathered at the STATE HOUSE ABUJA congratulated their mentor for the final victory and assured him of their solidarity while he in return promised that their jobs were secured.

The political jobbers urge Mr. Tinubu to move forward with a sustained tempo of institutional corruption in spite of the fact that the economy has nose-dived and is on ground zero!
The apex court in its ruling dismissed the appeals by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Atiku Abubakar and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart Peter Obi.
The seven-judge panel ruled as without merit the opposition appeals over claims of fraud, electoral law violations, and Tinubu’s ineligibility to run for president.
The apex court thrashed all the grounds of appeal of Atiku and PDP on qualification, non-compliance with the Electoral Act, the 25% votes in FCT, and electoral malpractice.

However President Bola Tinubu unlike late President Umar Yar 'Ardua who was voted in similar circumstances in the year 2007, hailed the Supreme Court verdict that upheld his electoral victory at the February 25, 2023 presidential poll. The apex court in its ruling dismissed the appeals by the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar; and his Labour Party (LP) counterpart, Peter Obi.
In the unanimous judgment, the apex court dismissed the petitions. A seven-judge panel ruled as without merit the opposition appeals over claims of fraud, electoral law violations, and Tinubu’s ineligibility to run for President.

TINUBU'S OFFICIALLY-DRAFTED STATEMENT BY HIS SPOKESMAN - AJURI NGELALE!

STATEMENT BY H.E. PRESIDENT BOLA AHMED TINUBU, GCFR
IT IS TIME FOR US TO BUILD OUR GREAT NATION TOGETHER
I welcome the verdict of the Justice John I. Okoro-led Panel of the Supreme Court on the Presidential Election petitions filed by the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Labour Party, challenging the ruling of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
The court has done justice to all issues put up for consideration in the petitions on the merits of the law, without fear or favour.
There is no doubt, with the profound judgment of today, that our electoral jurisprudence and constitutional democracy are further consolidated and embedded more indelibly in our national identity because of the diligence and undaunted professionalism of the Honourable Justices who presided over the matter.

While the verdict of today has laid to rest the agitating discourse over who truly won the 2023 Presidential election and met the constitutional requirements as laid out by law, I want to reiterate that my faith in our nation’s judiciary has never been shaken, not even for a moment, because I know that our hallowed courts of law will not fail to administer justice to all Nigerians in all matters and at all times. Despite the fusillade of pressure and attempts at intimidation by some political actors, the judiciary demonstrated its unequivocal commitment to upholding the rule of law for the upliftment and defense of humanity.
It was affirmed once more today, that my party, the governing All Progressives’ Congress, had freely and fairly won the popular mandate of Nigerians, which has since given rise to my leadership of this great nation at a tumultuous period of unprecedented reforms in our history as a nation.
With deep gratitude to God Almighty, I solemnly and humbly accept today’s judicial victory with an intense sense of responsibility and a burning desire to meet the great challenges confronting our people.

The victory of today has further energised and strengthened my commitment to continue to serve all Nigerians of all political persuasions, tribes, and faiths, with honour and total respect for the diverse opinions and uniting values of our citizens.
Our Renewed Hope agenda for a greater and prosperous Nigeria has further gained momentum and I will continue to work from morning to night, every single day, to build a country that meets our collective yearnings and aspirations.
We are all members of one household, and this moment demands that we continue to work and build our country together. The strength of our diversity and the great citizenship that binds us must now compel us forward in directing the energy of our people towards building a virile, stronger, united, and more prosperous country.

In the days and months ahead, I trust that the spirit of patriotism will be elevated into supporting our administration to improve the living conditions of Nigerians. I am prepared to welcome the contributions of all Nigerians to foster and strengthen our collective progress.
I send my immense gratitude to all Nigerians for the mandate to serve our country. I promise again to meet and exceed your expectations in service delivery and good governance, working with my team and trusting in the grace of God.

May God continue to bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu
President and Commander-in-Chief, Federal Republic of Nigeria

POLITICIANS OFFSHORE ACCOUNTS CAN OFFSET ALL FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC DEBTS OF NIGERIA.

It is no longer a secret that many Nigerian politicians have illicit monies acquired through corruption and stashed away in unscrupulous foreign banks which feast on fat interest rates to the detriment of compliance to international best practice in banking rules and regulations!

Leading the pack of hidden foreign loots is none other than the late Military dictator Sani Abacha, who occupied the position of Head of State of Nigeria for five years (1993-1998), successful transferred the entire Central Bank's Vault to foreign banks in his name!

In July 2023, it was established that the total recovered Abacha Loot stood at USD$5 billion dollars and the Federal High Court in Abuja has ordered FOUR PAST GOVERNMENT to disclose, confirm and explain disbursement of the said amount which has been shrouded in mystery for 24 years!
The court ordered the government of President Bola Tinubu to “disclose the exact amount of money stolen by General Sani Abacha from Nigeria."

By Press Release
July 9, 2023
The Federal High Court in Abuja, in a landmark judgment, has ordered the disclosure of the spending details of about $5 billion Abacha loot by the governments of former presidents Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar’Adua, Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari within SEVEN DAYS of the ruling following a suit against the Federal Government by the Social-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP).

The court ordered the government of President Bola Tinubu to “disclose the exact amount of money stolen by General Sani Abacha from Nigeria, and the total amount of Abacha loot recovered and all agreements signed on same by the governments of former presidents Obasanjo, Yar’Adua, Jonathan and Buhari.”

It's over THREE MONTHS since the judgment and Mr. Tinubu's All Progressives Congress is yet to come up with any report! Will those governments which display official impunity with relish continue to have their way

2016 PANAMA PAPERS REPORT ON BUKOLA SARAKI AND 110 NIGERIAN POLITICIANS IN 2016!

MEDIA REPORTS COMPILED BY SAHARA REPORTERS.

Saraki, Mark, Others In Trouble As Presidency Orders Probe Of Nigerians Named In Panama Papers ,August 19, 2016.

The senate president, Bukola Saraki, and his predecessor, David Mark, and other prominent Nigerians may soon be in trouble as the Presidency has ordered the investigation of present and past Nigerian officials named in the Panama Papers scandal. The chairman of the Code of Conduct Bureau, CCB, Sam Saba, confirmed the directive to PREMIUM TIMES. This newspaper had published leaked papers from a Panamanian law firm, Mossack Fonsecca, which were obtained by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung.

The 2.6 TB files, involving 214,488 entities, exposed incredible secrets of the underworld economy, where a network of banks, law firms and other middlemen utilize shell companies, sometimes to hide illegal wealth.
PREMIUM TIMES identified at least 110 Nigerians and companies operating offshore shell companies in tax havens. Mr. Saba said the Presidency forwarded names of some persons mentioned in the Panama Papers, to the agency for investigation.

“I want to let you know that government has written to us and given us some names based on what they have been reading and hearing regarding that document,” Mr. Saba said.
He said as soon as the #PanamaPapers reporting started, the CCB attempted to get the full leaks until PREMIUM TIMES assisted it by making some details for its scrutiny.
Mr. Saba said the CCB, after studying the papers, has questions for some public officers in the country.
He would not, however, disclose the names of the affected public officers.

“I think it (Panama Papers) is going to be helpful because already we have some questions for certain public officers, which I will not be able to disclose at the moment. Until they finish answering those questions, I may not be able to discuss it,” he said.

The CCB boss said the agency took some time to respond because it could not secure the leaked documents.
“I tried to access the document via the internet, but I was required to subscribe and pay some money, which I didn’t have, M. Saba said.

IT'S SEVEN YEARS SINCE THIS PUBLICATION AND THE POLITICIANS ARE STILL WALKING FREE!

PETER OBI, LABOR PARTY PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE ALSO HAS CASE TO ANSWER!

It was revealed that Mr Peter obi also had money stashed away in offshore accounts identified as the PANDORA PAPERS, and failed to disclose his involvement in money laundering!

He denied any wrong doing, contested the 2023 Presidential Elections on which he came THIRD, but he's in court to claim the FIRST position!

QUESTIONS:
For how long will Nigerians continue to be thread roughshod by corrupt politicians from 1960-2023?
All the candidates at the last 2023 Presidential Elections had black spots and dents in respect of dubious acquisition of illegal wealth and yet were voted for by a manipulated Electorate!

On Monday the 23rd of October 2023 the Supreme Court of Nigeria will give its judgement on the Appeals made by the runners up against the incumbent Bola Ahmed Tinubu!
Whichever way it goes Nigeria no longer needs a presidential system of government but a Unicameral PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM which will give opportunity to CLEAN PARLIAMENTARIANS from the grassroots to participate in governance henceforth.

It is our firm belief that this system of government which WE HAVE ADVOCATED FOR TEN GOOD YEARS WILL COME TO FRUITION THROUGH A POPULAR REFERENDUM!
THE ZEAL OF THE LORD WILL make IT HAPPEN AMEN.

IS MR. PRESIDENT HIBERNATING? DID HE CATCH COLD OVER CHICAGO CERTIFICATE CONTROVERSIES?


The low-key profile celebration of the 63rd Anniversary of Nigeria's Independence as a sovereign nation has taken away the beehive of activities for which the Aso Rock State House, Abuja occupants are accostomed to!

For instance since Mr.Tinubu's return from the 78th Edition of the United Nations General Assembly Summit (#UNGA 78), held in New York United States of America in the month of September 2023, incumbent President 'Bola Tinubu deliberately kept indoors while his Vice Kashim Shettima has been running the show from the side lines!

Tinubu stealthily returned on 29th September 2023, one week after his entourage had arrived Nigeria without fanfare and while the citizens began to raise eye brows, somebody popped up on TV on 1st October 2023 and made some funny announcements centred mostly on averting the impending organized labour indefinite showdown which was to commence on the 3rd October 2023!

The person who appeared on television promised many things to cushion the hard/biting effects of sudden and unthoughtful removal of the so-called petroleum scam popular referred to as subsidy!

And the desperate two-day negotiations that followed from 1st -2nd October 2023 and which did not directly involve Mr. President, announcement was made that across board all Federal Civil Servants/MDAs would from September collect additional NGN35,000 naira plus the NGN30,000 minimum wage until negotiations for WOKERS FRESH MINIMUM WAGES were concluded.

The Man on TV on 1st October 2023 also said among other things that efforts would be made to fast-track the Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), Buses, Cars and Trucks that would bring down cost of transportation and also that the very poor Nigerians whom they claimed to have identified would also be upgraded with THREE-MONTH MONEY PALLIATIVES OF NGN25K NAIRA also as temporary measures!

IS PRESIDENTIAL SPOKESPERSON AJURI NGELALE SACKED?

Nigerians have been wondering why outcome of Government/Labor negotiations announcement was made by a top official of Mr. Tinubu's government in the Presidency and whereas the official spokesperson Ajuri Ngelale had returned to Nigeria from New York where he was very active and made several announcements but suddenly has become noticeably silent!

Question: Where is Ajuri Ngelale and why has Mr President kept indoors since he returned from the United States of America? The last we heard of Ajuri had to do with negative publications about how the media established that he had gaffed severally on duty while trying to promote the SHATTERED IMAGE of Mr 'Bola Tinubu during his short appointment of less than three months! Could his appointment also be termed " one of the jobs for the boys?"


THE NIPR HAS AN AXE TO GRIND WITH MR. NGALALE NON-QUALIFICATION JUST AS ATIKU WITH MR. TINUBU'S CSU CERTIFICATE!

Media reports claim that Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has queried the qualification and competence of Ajuri Ngelale to speak for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu following recent gaffes in the statement he released on behalf of his boss.

Ngelale, the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was recently in the eyes of the storm over a statement he issued following the ringing of the closing bell by the President at NASDAQ Exchange last week.

He also committed another gaffe when he falsely claimed that the United Arab Emirates had lifted visa restrictions on Nigerians following a meeting between the country’s President and President Tinubu.

Reacting to the gaffes, NIPR said that Ngelale was ordinarily not ‘fit’ to hold the exalted position he now occupies in the Tinubu Presidency because he lacked the basic knowledge and requisite training on public relations.

Speaking in this vein, the newly elected council of NIPR under the leadership of Dr. Ike Neliaku said while Ngelale’s journalism pedigree, antecedents and credentials are not in doubt, he is legally not qualified for the current job he is doing at the Presidency.


FACT CHECKS BY SAHARA REPORTERS ALSO CLAIMED THAT NGELALE WAS NOT PR COMPLIANT!

Checks by SaharaReporters show that the NIPR, which was established in 1963 as the professional body of qualified Public Relations Practitioners, attained charter status in 1990 with Decree 16 (now Act of the National Assembly.
In January 2019, the NIPR said based on its law, it is a criminal offence to appoint spokespersons without certification in public relations.

Quoting Muhktar Sirajo, the then NIPR President, the statement read: “There are laid down rules about appointing spokespersons; the law establishing NIPR makes it a criminal offence for anybody to practise public relations by whatever name without certification or licensed by NIPR.

“There are set parameters of knowledge you need to acquire before you can practice public relations. The law actually provides for imprisonment, fine, or both.
“The government is either unaware of, or has forgotten that there is a law that says you cannot practice Public Relations, PR, without licence from the NIPR. In essence, the government too cannot appoint a spokesperson if that person is not licensed by the NIPR.”

One of the governing council members who reportedly spoke in confidence said, “We have checked our records and membership register and we could not find Ajuri Ngelale in the list. One can be a good writer, broadcaster or journalist but there are set parameters of knowledge a communicator needs to acquire including qualification before he/she can practice Public Relations in Nigeria.


PRESIDENCY APOLOGIES!

Meanwhile, the Presidency later admitted that it goofed by issuing a corrigendum on Friday, saying, “We inadvertently referred to President Bola Tinubu as the first African leader to ring the bell at NASDAQ on Wednesday in New York, based on the information provided by a third-party event organiser.
“We have since found out that this information was/is incorrect as a former African leader has indeed had the privilege.
“This error is sincerely regretted.”


ADDENDUM: TINUBU'S AMERICAN JAMBOREE!

President Bola Tinubu returned to Nigeria after a week of silence on his whereabouts at the end of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
There were concerns about the president’s itinerary after members of the delegation which accompanied him to the US returned to the country.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amb. Yusuf Tuggar; Minister of Communication, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, as well as the President’s Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila, were among those who accompanied him to the US.
Presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale, had been silent on the location of Tinubu who departed New York on September 22.
The president’s whereabouts were unknown until he returned to Nigeria on Friday night, 29th September 2023, although unconfirmed reports had it that he flew to Paris from New York.


NOTHING IS HIDDEN UNDER THE SUN! EVERY ACT OF DECEIT HAS A TERMINAL DATE!

Nigeria will soon be delivered from all the deceitful leaders and lovers of illicit money who have clung teneciously to the presidential wasteful system of government instead of embracing the unicameral parliamentary system which will embrace grassroot participation and where parliamentarians could even work on part-time basis and collect stipends while the nation moves forward in true democracy!
Sooner than they expect, they all will become OUTCASTS!

Youth leadership in Nigeria is a rudderless ship adrift on a turbulent sea - which translates to the truth that they have no form of leadership at all!

Historically the Labour Party which came third in the February 2023 Presidential Election is an offshoot of #END SARS END POLICE BRUTALITY GANG, which barked but unable to bite through a massive but dis-organized 2020 Lekki Toll Gate Lagos protests to which several innocent youths lost their lives at the prime!

The dead were unidentified, unappriciated, unmourned, unsung, and unwailed because the Diarchy said, "Nobody died" - in spite of "unknown soldiers" involvement and of a Kangaroo Inquest instituted by Civilian Governor Babajide Sanwoolu of Lagos.

But recently, 13th - 14th July 2023, "103 unidentified dead bodies" were decongested of some Lagos State Morgues and officially disposed in a mass burial by the Lagos State Government at a cost of NGN 61,285,000!

The bodies were believed to those of the unfortunate youths who lost their lives at Lekki Toll Gate on 20-20-20!
And whereas, media news had it that soldiers deployed to quell the legitimate but ill- fated Lekki Toll Gate protests removed all casualties without living a trace with military precision!
Similar Youth Protests were organized in other State Capitals including Abuja Federal Capital Territory (FCT), but Lekki took the shine off the others in spite of the fact that no leadership was identified among them!

A TOTALLY LOST VENTURE?

According to The Cable Report of the 13th October 2020, the protests which started as a gathering in some parts of the country crippled economic activities in major cities.

From Ogbomosho in Oyo to Surulere in Lagos to the nation’s capital and parts of many other states, protesters called for police reform and demanded an end to brutality.

"For the fourth day running, #EndSARS has been among the top trends on social media.
The killing of a young man in Delta state and the brutalization of another person in Lagos had triggered this unrest which made Mohammed Adamu, inspector-general of police, to dissolve the special anti-robbery squad (SARS) 48 hours after the youths trooped to the streets.

"Refusing to back down, the protesters said dissolving of SARS is just one out of the demands that they have. They vowed not to leave the streets until all other demands are met.
"Earlier on Tuesday, Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, announced that presidential panel on the reform of the special anti-robbery squad (SARS) had accepted the five-point demand of the Immediate release of all arrested protesters

Justice for all deceased victims of police brutality and appropriate compensations for their families.

Setting up an independent body to oversee the investigation and prosecution of all reported police misconduct within a period of 10 days

Carrying out psychological evaluation and retaining of all disbanded SARS operatives before they can deployed (this should be verified by an independent body).

The government should increase police salary and they should adequately compensated for protecting lives and property of the citizens"

SHALLOW DEMANDS OF THE #ENDSARS ORGANIZERS CENTERED MORE ON POLICE WELFARE RATHER THAN RESTORATION OF CITIZENS’ SOVEREIGNTY/FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS, TOTAL EXTERMINATION OF ENDEMIC CORRUPTION AMONG THE POLITICIANS, ELIMINATION OF UNBEARABLE INSECURITIES OF LIVES, PROPERTIES (INCLUDING STRATEGIC GOVERNMENT INFRASTRUCTURES), AND POSITIVE POLICIES TO ERASE NEGATIVE & UNFAVORABLE ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL INDEXES AGAINST NIGERIA!

Freedom Fighters were never afraid to confront illegitimate authorities and kick them out of office - even at the peril of their lives. But these set of the 2020 #ENDSARS GROUP fell short of such qualities or determination!

They would neither go to detention nor prison and the untimely death of all unidentified HEROES OF THE PROTESTS had further kept them in the graveyard of everlasting silence!

NO WONDER THE OLD ARMY GENERAL, BUHARI, LABELED THEM AS LAZY YOUTHS WHILE HIS SURROGATE NOW SAYS NIGERIANS WERE NOT LAZY PEOPLE IN ORDER TO CURRY FAVOUR!

In the past 10 years the Zion B-BC Newsletter Stable in several advocacies on YOUTH LEADERSHIP had published dozens of motivational treatises to encourage them to take over the mantle of leadership from the current PREDATORS THROUGH DEMAND FOR A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT TO NO AVAIL!

HAVE THE YOUTHS NOW CHOSEN PETER OBI AS THEIR LEADER?

The desperation or Peter Obi to become the President of Nigeria through the application of YOUTH FORCE has further denegrated their chances and put them at loggerheads with other law-abiding Nigerians!

These are the same lily-livered youths who could not execute a simple protest against government to change the system when they had the opportunity but are now hiding behind another desperate politician to achieve their goals!

This is 21st Century World where the RULE OF LAW does not permit aggression by any group or gang of people to change position of leadership except through lawful means!
Leadership must be earned by those who deserve to be there and not by charlatans! No wonder, Nobel Laureate, Professor 'Wole Soyinka, described their attitude as "GBAJU E "!
(Force of lies).

NIGERIA ONCE HAD YOUTH LEADERSHIP THROUGH BARREL OF GUNS - THEY MUST NOW BE REPLACED BY CEREBRALS WHO POSSESS BRAINS, BRAWN AND WITS!

The way forward is for the current youths especially those who have good education to see that a rather costless system of government which can only be found in a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM which will entertain grass-root politics from the constituencies to the central government level where the party
with the greatest votes present the Prime Minister and a Cabinet.

THIS IS THE WAY TO GO. NIGERIA NEEDS A BUNCH OF SERVICE PROVIDERS WHO COLLECT STIPENDS AS SITTING ALLOWANCES IN A NEW NIGERIA OF OUR DREAMS, NOT PECUNIARY-ORIENTED YOUTHS!

"Righteousness exalts a nation. Sin is a reproach to all people." (Prov. 14:34).

Neo-colonialism has always been the hidden agenda of the superpowers because they could not sustain their industries without raw materials from Africa. France for instance is faced with a revolution through military coups in its former colonies in Central and sub-saharan Africa which have risen to Eight armed dissentions in the past two years.
Since the close of WW II in 1945. France kept firm grip on those colonies through its military bases which it claimed were stationed for defence strategies!

The United States also has hundreds of military bases across the world mostly in Third World or Developing Countries.
It no longer a secret that such military bases were deliberate exhibition of international territorial expansion program of the world powers!

All eyes have been on the colonies which they manipulate with Aids, Grants and Loans under the pretext of Economic Support whereas the hidden agenda was to keep the countries in perpetual slavery for the main purpose of harnessing their raw materials which are in abundance to keep their industries afloat.

INDIA HAS LANDED ON THE MOON!

Now that India has joined the MOON EXPLORERS and has invited the G20 Club of which it is a member to celebrate its space conquest then it is pertinent for all of them to relocate now to the moon so that the African Nations would be able to develop and breathe!
India also is a prominent member of BRICS but is it not shocking and intriguing that both China and Russia declined to attend the G20 Summit?

We have always said it that these so-called developed countries who want to dominate the world and keep the underdeveloped ones in perpetual slavery even after their independence and sovereignty would continually instigate War of Attrition that would keep lesser countries in permanent state of poverty and under-development.
In 1947 British India was partitioned, ending three hundred years of colonial rule with the creation of two independent nations: India and Pakistan (comprising West and East Pakistan, present-day Bangladesh).
Would it be out of place for India to venture into neo- colonialism?

G20 COMPETITION FOR TERRITORIAL EXPANSION !

Civilized countries of the 16th -19th Centuries embarked on worldwide expansion of their territories through colonization of primitive and underdeveloped countries of Africa, the Far East and the Carribeans.
However the 20th Century Universe gradually witnessed gale of Independent status granted to several overseas slave countries with stringent legalistic strings of treatise, conventions to keep them to the Masters' apron strings!
Come to think of it, is any country totally independent from the other whether developed, backward or developing? The world through modern science and information communication technology has assumed the status of a global village where socio-economic needs and natural resources were exchanged with the lightening speed of light or sound!
Raw materials for overseas businesses in manufacturing and industry were continually sourced from the former colonies to keep their economies on stream while the finished products were exported to the surrogate countries to keep them tied to their masters' apron string permanently!

THE SUPER POWERS AND G20 CLUB HAVE POCKETED THE REST OF THE UNIVERSE THROUGH PSEUDO ROCKET SCIENCE ESCAPADES!

Just like his predecessor in office 'Bola Tinubu preferred to travel abroad and showcase his incompetence and ignorance in governance instead of staying at home to solve socio-economic problems that affect the citizens.
He departed Nigeria on the day the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) declared a two-day warning strike and flew to India to attend the G20 World Summit of developed Nations. And as usual, he was accompanied with an entourage of about 30 Ministers/ business moguls but wasted no time to beg Indian billionaires cap in hand to come and invest in Nigeria!
His 100 days in office have witnessed no development in socio-economic activities but total reversal and backwardness in all endeavors of life. And it has been exposed that, some sections THE NIGERIAN PRESS (especially Ray Power/AIT), are complicit to the myriads of social problems that escalated through sudden removal of subsidy without palliatives in any form through their warped condemnation of the WARNING STRIKE against an INSENSITIVE GOVERNMENT! It is established that the oligarchy and Cabal are at work again in Nigeria to further suppress the citizens who are made sub-servient while those domicile in the Diaspora were also treated with contempt and as "lowlifes!"

YOU MUST STOP THEM FROM PUTTING YOU DOWN EVERY FOUR YEARS!

The game plan of all Nigerian politicians had always been to take undue advantage of the largely illiterate masses and diabolically manipulate them through empty manifesto promises year on year.
The rhetoric is that Nigerians were easy going people who don't need much money to carry on their lives.
Once they have food on their tables, some menial jobs or vocations, regular incomes to pay rents for some shanties, which would be eventually demolished by the same politicians! This is a most outrageous manner to treat FIRST CLASS CITIZENS in their own country while the Constitutions deceive them with false SOVEREIGNTY!
HEADING ON GOD'S MANDATE OF UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT NIGERIA WILL STAND! AMEN.

Immediately the news of APC's victory at the Presidential Election Tribunal venue in Abuja hit the internet towards mid-night on Wednesday 6th September 2023, the Nigerian delegation to the G20 Summit in India burst into singing, dancing and shouting at the top of their voices that “on Tinubu's mandate they would stand"!
The tribunal upheld the 26th February 2023 election of 'Bola Tinubu while the Opposition parties and their supporters outrightly rejected the judgment in its entirety and are in the process of approaching the Supreme Court of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for a final adjudication. The devil is a liar!

A legal Civilian Coup that will unseat Mr. 'Bola Tinubu and his gang of mauraders is closer than what the bunch of security personnel in Nigeria could phantom!
Who says that Tinubu is not a member of the sadistic seat-tight African Leaders who take delight in the persistent sufferings and corresponding untimely deaths of their majority poor masses?

What is the business of the 71-year-old former Senator, two-term State Governor and now President of Nigeria in a new 21st Nation which bubbles with youthful cerebrals in every discipline of human endeavor - especially in Information Communication Technology (ICT), Modern medicine, Agriculture, Education, Tourism, Entertainment, Sports, Aeronautic/Space Science, Marine, Naval Engineering/Technology, Technocrats in Human Development Management, Manufacturing/ Industry, Highly-trained Security Experts with Hi-Tech solutions to knotty challenges in crimes prevention and detection, institutional corruption, terrorism, gangsterism etc?
Tinubu left active political office since year 2007 at age 55! From inauguration on 29th May, 2023, he has lived in a MIRAGE!

In three months of "subsidy is gone", Tinubu is yet to provide any tangible Palliative Measure in any form and The Labour is spoiling for War!

A Divine message was delivered to 'Bola Tinubu following a prediction of the WATCHMAN that he would win the election but should in his inauguration speech promise the establishment of a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT for Nigeria in order to eradicate all forms of insecurity due to 63 years of institutional corruption.
But he bluntly refused and instead added to the sufferings of Nigerian TALAKAWAS. Within THREE MONTHS of ascension to the presidency not less than 2,000 citizens have been killed through various forms of hardships and SECURITY LAPSES!
They should have been alive today and he has to pay because THE JUST JUDGE of disobedient children HAS JUDGE HIM. Just like SAUL the first King of Israel, he will definitely lose his position!

EMINENT HUMAN RIGHTS LAWYER 'FEMI FALANA (SAN), TELLS TINUBU TO BEWARE OF CITIZENS MUTINY!

Our warning in a recent publication - Zion B-BC Newsletter Vol. 12. No. 520 dated 30th July, 2023, and titled
TINUBU SHOULD BE AFRAID OF NIGERIAN CITIZENS - NOT SOLDIERS COUP DE TAT, was re-echoed by renowned Human Rights Lawyer and Activist, Chief. 'Femi Falana on Thursday 30th August 2023, at a Symposium organised by Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC), in Abuja.

Below are excerpts of his corroborative speech which confirms that at the mouth of two or three witnesses a matter is established. At the National Symposium with the theme: “Nigeria Economy and the Crisis of Survival: Robbing the Poor to Pay the Rich", the legal luminary said : "....while the government has told the poor to tighten their belts and suffer the burden of the economic issues in the nation, public officials keep spending lavishly!

He attributed the recent trend of military juntas in Africa, particularly the most recent one that occurred in Gabon, to a number of factors, including the ruthless exploitation of African countries’ mineral resources by the West, Third-term syndrome, political manipulation of the constitution, and the establishment of foreign military bases in African nations.
He warned that as long as figures of extravagant spendings by the National Assembly continue to be churned out, Nigerians will be irritated and so will be enemies of democracy.

“They must be careful not to provoke Nigerians to mutiny. Some of the things going in the National Assembly shows that we are in trouble. 70 billion Naira for palliatives for 469 people and when we said no they claimed it was for the facelift of the National Assembly.

“Three years ago, 37 billion Naira was earmarked for the facelift of the National Assembly. That contract has not been fully executed and there is no renewal of the contract so you cannot talk about 70 billion Naira for facelift.
“Secondly, 40 billion Naira to buy exotic cars now for the leadership of the National Assembly is not going to be allowed.
“The latest provocative news from the National Assembly is that 54 billion Naira has been earmarked for constituency projects for 360 members of the House of Representatives. It has come to 150 million per person. Under this austere condition of the country.
“So when these figures are oozing out of the National Assembly Nigerians are being provoked and enemies of democracy are being provoked.
“The military has been honest to say that they are under pressure to dismantle this rickety political system but someone told them to go and deny it and they came out and denied it. But we can read between the lines. We can’t gather here to talk about democracy that is under threat.

“The immediate causes of coups in Africa today are third term syndromes, manipulation of constitution, military bases.

“Today, America has 29 military bases in Africa. France has 15. Soldiers are protesting because numbers of these foreign bases are receiving salaries as if they are in their countries. So the soldiers are protesting the preferential treatment between them and these foreign troops, so we must look at that.
“The remote causes are the ruthless exploitation of the mineral resources of our country by Western countries.
The people are getting poorer.
“The poor are asked to tighten their belts even when they are dying. We may be discussing democracy, democracy is under threat in Africa through colonial peripheral capitalist system pauperising our country and increasing poverty at a very dangerous level.”

He said that contrary to Section 16 of the Constitution, ”the Economic system was being operated in such a way as to concentrate the wealth of the country in the hands of the few or a group."

“When Dangote was said to be building a refinery, and I it publicly, the government of Nigeria gave him land free, they call it free economic zone, for themselves, all the machinery imported at the official rate which is illegal no duty was paid for the machine and the government went to the bank to take a loan of $2.7 billion to invest in a private sector and they then said, we cannot fix our refineries.

“At that stage we challenged them, you said the government has no business in business why are you funding a private enterprise? It was at that stage that they allocated $1 5 billion to fix Port Harcourt refinery, $1.4 billion to fix Kaduna and Warri refinery.

Chief Falana appealed to Nigeria Labour Congress to monitor the ongoing rehabilitation of the refineries "otherwise these guys will divert the money criminally as they have always done in the past 35 years.

“Secondly those refineries are no longer enough for us, refineries are being sold in Europe and America, The government must buy some of them and assemble them here so that we can earn revenue from our own natural resource.
“Talking about solid minerals, labour must also take cognizance of what is going on. They give licences to individuals to go and mine and pay a pittance to the government, sometimes you don’t pay anything.
“I am handling a case where the government said don’t pay for five years we want to encourage you … and the country will make $500 million in one year but the poor are asked to tighten their belt even when they are dying."

GABON - NIGERIA'S SOUTH-EAST NEIGHBOR HAS NOW BURST TINUBU'S BUBBLE!

First it was Niger Republic, North West Neighbor on 26 July 2023, now it's Gabon on 29th August, 2023, to the South East. Nigeria is not only sandwiched between Coupist in the ECOWAS Sub-region but also in the Central African Chad where SEAT-TIGHT LEADERS were being uprooted one after the other in very quick succession!

But Tinubu need not be afraid because the Lord has said He will not allow MILITARY COUP IN NIGERIA but Will Establish a Unicameral Parliamentary System of government which will be a lasting solution to the incalcitrant innumerable insecurities of decades!

Our candid opinion is for Tinubu to do the needful by calling for a popular REFERENDUM THAT THE CITIZENS MAY CHOOSE THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT BEFORE THEY - (THE PEOPLE), AND NOT SOLDIERS KICK HIM AND HIS PARTNER IN CRIME OUT OF THE TEMPORARY USURPATION OF TRANSIENT POWER!

A Word is enough for the Wise!

During ones of his Presidential campaigns in January 2023, Mr. 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT), lamented and bluntly indicted retired General Buhari that he deliberately introduced re-designed naira notes as a grand ploy to TRUNCATE his life ambition of becoming the President of Nigeria!
He vowed on live media interview to trek all the way with his retinue of campaigners to all their targeted venues and to meet all deadlines to accomplish his dream and with such vituperations incurred the wrath of many household enemies!
1) First on the list was the incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari whom he reminded via his “EMI LOKAN” (It’s my turn) jingle, that were it not for him (Tinubu), Buhari would not have become the President of Nigeria in 2015, having lost in three previous attempts!
2) Second was former Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Abdullahi Adamu who openly vowed that the Party would discipline BAT for his unguarded utterances and disrespect to President Buhari. But he underestimated (BAT’s) uncanny and crafty art of a desperado who maneuvered all obstacles to win the election now being challenged at the courts!
3) Third was Godwin Emefiele, the suspended Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and purveyor of the re-designed naira notes, who also believed that he could succeed Buhari as President of Nigeria but eventually withdrew due to massive opposition by Nigerians! He has been charged to court with a female accomplice for financial procurement fraud totaling N6.9 billion!



NAIRA-RE-DESIGN - COMMENTS BY INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS AND CONCERNED NIGERIANS!

(A)Naira redesign will affect the poor, SMEs according to the World Bank – as reported by Damiola Aina, on 20th December 2022.

“The World Bank has warned that the newly redesigned naira which went into circulation last week may have negative effect on economic activity especially poor Nigerians due to its timing and short transition period.
The Washington-based bank revealed this in a new report titled, “Nigeria Development Update.”
The Central Bank of Nigeria had in November 2022, unveiled new N,1000, N500 and N200 notes as part of measures to mop up excess cash in circulation, ransom payment for kidnapping, terrorism financing, counterfeiting, among others.


The World Bank, in its report however said the policy would negatively affect small businesses in respect of day-to-day cash transactions.
The report read in part, “While periodic currency redesigns are normal internationally and the naira does appear to be due for it since naira notes have been redesigned for two decades, the timing of and short transition period for this demonetization may have negative impacts on economic activity, in particular for the poorest households.
“International experience suggests that rapid demonetizations can generate significant short-term costs, with small-scale businesses, and poor and vulnerable households, potentially being particularly affected due liquidity-constrained by and heavily reliant on day-to-day cash transactions.
“At present, households and firms already face elevated financial pressures from prolonged, high inflation, recently compounded by external food and fuel price shocks, and the severe floods, and phasing out existing naira notes over a short time period may add to their challenges.”

(B)The President of the Bank Customers Association of Nigeria, Dr Uju Ogunbunka, also said the objectives of the cashless policy was understandable but noted that the execution and timing were not right.

He said, “From the cashless policy point of view, we should appreciate that, as much as possible, the government is trying to limit the use of cash for transactions, more so, now that they are redesigning the currency. “The second thing is that the government wants to drive the use of online banking, which is good for our economy. Unfortunately, there have been so many complaints about failed transactions.”
“There is hardly any week without complaints in the banking hall. You will see people shouting with regard to transfer failures. Have we put enough structure to take care of some of these things? The answer is, we are yet to, we are making progress, yes, but we should give enough room and time for some of these things to play out rather than short-circuit the system.”
(C)Also, the Lagos State Chairman of the Nigerian Association of Small and Medium Enterprise, Dr Adebayo Adams, also said the policy would hit businesses and the MSMEs.
MR. BAT IN AN ATTEMPT TO SOLVE CURRENCY INSTABILITY HAS INTRODUCED



“NAIRA FLOATING”!

Excerpts from Elvis Eromosele’s contribution to the subject matter: “Nigeria, one of Africa’s largest economies, has a longstanding history of grappling with currency stability and foreign exchange challenges. Over the year, the Nigerian government has employed various measures to manage its currency, the naira, including pegging it to a specific exchange rate. This naturally created two exchange rates, the official and the black market. The disparity between the two provided an avenue for people with access to dollars to buy at the official rate and resell at the black market. Many millionaires and a few billionaires were created through this distorted system. Floating the exchange rate is meant to solve this problem. The idea of floating the naira has however remained a subject of debate. Experts concede that it holds both potential advantages and risks. What does it mean to float a country’s exchange rate? Floating a country’s currency, also known as a floating exchange rate, refers to a monetary system where the value of a nation’s currency is determined by market forces such as supply and demand. In this system, the currency’s exchange rate fluctuates freely in response to various economic factors, including inflation, interest rates, trade balances, and capital flows.


Under a floating exchange rate regime, the government or central bank does not fix or peg the currency to a specific value against another currency or a basket of currencies. Instead, the exchange rate is determined by the interaction of buyers and sellers in the foreign exchange market. Supply and demand dynamics influence the currency’s value, and its exchange rate can appreciate or depreciate relative to other currencies. Today, reports emerged that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), has directed Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) to eliminate the rate cap on the Nigerian naira at the Investors’ and Exporters’ (I&E) Window of the foreign exchange market. This move aims to facilitate a free-floating system for the national currency, enabling it to fluctuate freely against the United States dollar and other major global currencies. Analysts claim that it follows closely on the heels of President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to unify Nigeria’s various exchange rates. Experts have quickly lined up on opposite sides of the aisle. Some argue that it would allow the currency to adjust to changing economic conditions, which can help promote competitiveness, adjust trade imbalances, attract foreign investment, and respond to shifts in global markets. Others swear that the exchange rate will become more volatile and subject to fluctuations, which can have both positive and negative implications for the economy.

ZION B-BC NEWSLETTER SINCERE OPINION IS THAT WHILE MR. BAT WHO HAS SURROUNDED HIMSELF WITH RE-CYCLED ADVISERS/MINISTERS CRAVES FOR POUND OF FLESH FROM HIS PERCEIVED ADVERSARIES, HE HAS FURTHER SUNK INTO THE MIRY CLAY OF POLICY SOMERSAULT!

As at the time of this publication, NO NAIRA WAS FLOATING! How can a SUNK TITANIC FLOAT AGAIN? NIGERIA IS TOTALLY BROKE!
The NAIRA has been secretly devalued due excessive and addictive borrowing! The EXCHANGE RATE has gone beyond N900-1,000 naira to one US Dollar! TINUBU’S imaginary merger of OFFICIAL and BUREAU DE CHANGE was another gaffe just like “Subsidy is Gone”! QUESTION: IS SUBSIDY NOT BACK THROUGH THE BACK DOOR?


Mr. BAT says he has saved NGN 1trllion from fuel subsidy removal since 29th May 2023. He is dolling out NGN5 billion to each State as PALLIATIVE FUND to cushion the negative effects on the ABUSED MASSES!
BAT has now confirmed our earlier speculations that all of his AIDES/ CABINET MINISTERS etc, WOULD ALL BE PAID SALARIES AND ALLOWANCES WITH BORROWED MONIES!
HOW CAN MR. BAT COMPARE THE VERY STRONG FLOATING UNITED STATES DOLLAR WITH THE NAIRA WHICH HAS BEEN BASTARDIZED THROUGH INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTIVE ABUSE BY SUCCESSIVE ADMINISTRATION?


BAT CANNOT GET AWAY WITH ALL THESE DISCREPANCIES! IT'S TIME FOR NIGERIA TO VOTE FOR PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH REFERENDUM!
Nigeria's Debt Stock is N46.25 Trillion as at the end of the first Quarter of the
Year 2023! TiINUBU AND HIS RICH COHORTS MUST PUBLICLY DECLARE THEIR ASSETS !

Foreign meddlesomeness veiled as diplomatic interventions by Western World Powers, especially of the Francophone and Anglophone bloc have further deepened the dichotomy between two strange bed fellows within the West African Sub-Region and the Sahel!
Both bloc have West African countries in almost equal proportions having been colonial Masters who still believe in allegiance of subservient relationships.

In virtually all of West African francophone countries, the CFA - French currency still holds sway.
But yet there's still a common interest or bone of contention in Niger between the two bloc - URANIUM - which is in global demand and which Niger has in abundance. Uranium is used to power commercial nuclear reactors that produce electricity and to produce isotopes used for medical, industry and defence purposes around the world.

Niger has two significant mines providing 7.5% of world minning output from Africa's highest grade uranium ores. Since the contentious military coup, of 26th July 2023, Niger has gained much of negative international attention because the act of seizing legitimate governments through the barrels of the gun is TREASONABLE ACT AND TOTALLY FORBIDDEN AND UNACCEPTABLE THROUGH CONSTITUTIONAL ENACTMENTS!
We also condemn coup de tat in any form or guise!

SOVEREIGNTY BELONGS TO THE CITIZENS!

Except in a state of despotism, autocracy, oligarchy or anarchy, the citizens of every nation are constitutionally endowed with the inalienable right of sovereignty over elected representatives from Mr. President to the Councilors in the Local Government Areas (LGAs)!

Nigeriens have spoken loud and clear in support of the new military regime in Niger Republic because they were tired of President Bazoum government which the National Council of the State Guard of the Nation had decided put an end to!
There is now a Military Government in position although coup d'etat is a crime against constitutional authorities but when citizens support coups it only proves that they are tired of the fake democracy to which they are being subjected for a very long time.
Mr. 'Bola Tinubu who now wears two caps of both President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Chairman of the Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS), during his days as a democrat joined ranks with several patriotic Nigerians to oppose the military interregnum that lasted for almost 30 years and when his life was threatened he ran into exile but the agitations eventually overthrew the military aberration.

For almost 23 years Nigeria democratic nation even though it is by nomenclature and not a reality has portrayed those who took over from the military in 1999
as new opportunists because they wasted no time to show their true colors of massive corruption in governance, stealing, robbery, terrorism multi-dimensional poverty, official impunity, gangsterism, institutional terrorism and large-scale robbery of the Treasury Single Account (TSA), on daily basis between the three arms of government!

Like their Nigeriens counterpart Citizens of Nigeria are also tired of this kind of democracy which enables the rich to be richer and the poor to be poorer and for the poor to be taxed until they bleed to death!
For them to suffer in the midst of plenty while the oligarchy of a few rake in all the monies including all the natural resources, all the foreign exchange earnings from the Crude Oil into their various accounts!

HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO ECOWAS LEADERS THAT MAYBE NIGERIENS ACTUALLY INVITED THE MILITARY TO TAKE OVER THE REIGNS OF GOVERNMENT?

As the Head of the Nigerian Government and simultaneously Chairman of ECOWAS it is very clear to everyone now that Mr. 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT), is a total misfit in both saddles!

As Nigeria's President he has messed up the entire governance by trapping himself in all manners of errors of commission and omission and multiple gaffes at home and abroad and WE of this Platform and all Nigerian patriots are tired of the repetition of maladministration of the highest order in his over 70 days in office!

Now his complete ignorance in governance and diplomatic architecture has brought Nigeria into disrepute among Citizens of the West African nation of Niger because it is believed that Mr. BAT insisted that THE USE OF FORCE WAS AN OPEN OPTION TO CHASE OUT THE MILITARY JUNTA AND RE-INSTATE THE OUSTED CIVILIAN PRESIDENT!
Though ECOWAS Secretariat claimed Mr. BAT's statement was a collective response and decision to the situation in Niger the Citizens have warned the Body to keep off their shores because they were better off with the soldiers!

Truly power lies in the hands of Nigeriens but if and when their expectations from the present military government become sour, they will chase them out through sovereign authority like TINUBU and his fellow agitators did to past military administrations in Nigeria!
Mr. Tinubu had no foundation in any form of diplomacy at any stage of his short political career! Going down the memory lane the only opportunity in governance which he had before 29th May 2023 was in Lagos State where was governor because of the role he played in driving out the military.

He was compensated with the Governorship position and served for eight years (1999-2007), and that was all. From then - 15 years on to 2023 the man has been moribund, redundant, stale, ineffective, inactive and completely lost to realities of the 21st Century ICT applications in governance!

TINUBU SHOULD RESIGN AS ECOWAS CHAIRMAN AND FACE NIGERIA'S MORE DEMANDING INSECURITY AND SOCIO- ECONOMIC ISSUES SQUARELY!

There is no doubt that Mr BAT has bitten more than he can chew. 1. Insecurity in Nigeria has become an albatross 2. Human casualties in a bit over 70 days of his occupation as President of Nigeria has recorded over 40,000 gruesome deaths of Citizens across the country most especially in the North West, North East North Central and still counting . 3. On Friday 11th August 2023, over 21 people were killed in Plateau State by armed Fulani herdsmen. 4. Economy is at its lowest ebb as roundabout inflation is consuming the citizens who find it difficult to eat one meal a day 5. FOREX is over NGN900 naira to $1US Dollars as at 10th August 2023!

POSERS FOR BOLA TINUBU: Commander-in-Chief of Nigerian Armed Forces!

Tinubu needs a very experienced serving or retired army general as National Security Adviser (NSA) and not a failed EFCC Chairman and gubernatorial aspirant!
Is Nigeria ready for a fallout of war from the Republic of Niger if use of force was employed? Nigerians have been Niger's friendly neighbour since 1963 and they have bilateral agreement not to DAM River Niger flowing down south into Nigeria in exchange for electricity.
As the time of this publication ECOWAS Parliament has set up a Mediation Team to end the crisis in Niger.

Breaking News: Algeria has promised to supply electricity to Niger for free!

THERE COULD BE NO BETTER TIME FOR TINUBU TO CHAMPION A POPULAR REFERENDUM AND SET IN MOTION A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA AND END THESE UNPLEASANT TRAVAILS AS A NATION!

A Word is sufficient for the Wise!

The Nigerian State currently has no Executive Arm of Government but luckily the man whom the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), declared as winner of the 2023 February Presidential Election has added another feather to his cap to legitimately govern the country as the current and bona fide Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). At the ECOWAS Conference of Sunday,9th July 2023, President Tinubu was elected as the new Chairman of the Body.
In view of this development he has become more confused and disillusioned because he is now PURSUING TWO RATS SIMULTANEOUSLY and would definitely lose both; according to an African adage!
First, he exhausted the entire 60 days window allowed by the amended 1999 Military Constitution of Nigeria as amended to appoint 37 ministers one from each State of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), and could only come up with 28 Ministers at 1.30 pm on the last day, Thursday July 27th 2023, when the Senate was about to wind up for the week contrary to the Constitution's enactment.
Second a military coup de tat suddenly occurred in Niger Republic, an ECOWAS member on Thursday 27th July 2023 and he quickly summoned a hurried summit to hold at the Aso Rock seat of government, Federal Capital Territory Abuja, to deliberate on the matter on Sunday 30th July 2023.

It was later reported that the ECOWAS caucus directed that the feuding soldiers should return to the barracks within SEVEN DAYS and restore the disposed President immediately.
Is Mr. Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT), not in a dire strait? Has he not bitten too much to chew?
Third it was reported by the US Institute of Peace that the genesis of the NIGERIEN COUP was triggered, "....when a top military officer was disgruntled at being removed from his post by the president. We saw a positive but unsuccessful effort from within the region, by Nigeria, to prevent the coup. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu sent a planeload of his own senior officers to press the Niger military to abort the takeover. That kind of leadership from within the region is what we all need to support."

NEWS PAPERS REPORTS: DAILY POST.

Nigerien soldiers finally declare coup despite Tinubu’s warning. Despite the warning issued on Wednesday by the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African States, ECOWAS, Bola Tinubu, the Nigerien soldiers on Thursday morning took over power from President Mohamed Bazoum.
President Bazoum had been in detention since the early hours of Wednesday when the soldiers first attempted the coup. DAILY POST gathered that the soldiers announced the coup in a televised broadcast in the early hours of Thursday.
About 10 senior officers led by Colonel Major Amadou Abdramane said during the broadcast that the National Council of the State Guard of the Nation had decided to “put an end to the regime you are familiar with”.
According to them, the development followed deteriorating security situation in Niger, as well as bad social and economic management by the government.
“We reaffirm our support to all commitment undertaken by Niger,” the soldiers said.
ECOWAS, had through a statement by its Chairman, Tinubu condemned the earlier attempt, warning that the regional body, as well as the global community, would not condone disruption of constitutional order within the sub-region.

Niger coup leaders warn against ‘military intervention’ by ECOWAS

Niger’s military leaders have warned against any armed intervention in the country as West African heads of state gather in Nigeria’s capital for an emergency summit to decide on further actions to pressure the army to restore constitutional order.
Heads of state of the 15-member Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), and the eight-member West African Economic and Monetary Union, also known by its French acronym UEMOA, could suspend Niger from their institutions, cut off the country from the regional central bank and financial market, and close borders.

General Abdourahmane Tchiani – also known as Omar Tchiani, and the chief of Niger’s presidential guard – has declared himself leader while the country’s elected president, Mohamed Bazoum, has been held by the military since the coup took place last week.
Ahead of the Sunday ECOWAS summit, the military leaders in Niger warned against any military intervention in a statement read on Niger national television on Saturday night.
“The objective of the [ECOWAS] meeting is to approve a plan of aggression against Niger through an imminent military intervention in Niamey in collaboration with other African countries that are non-members of ECOWAS, and certain Western countries,” military spokesperson Colonel Amadou Abdramane said.
Demonstrators gather in support of the coup in the capital Niamey, Niger on July 30, 2023 [Balima Boureima/Reuters]“We want to once more remind ECOWAS or any other adventurer of our firm determination to defend our homeland,” he said.
ECOWAS has the power to impose sanctions on Niger, which is one of its 15 members. Last year, its leaders agreed to create a regional security force to intervene against rebel groups and prevent military coups.

“There is so much talk here [at the summit] of sending a military force to intervene there [in Niger] that has got the military leaders in Niger worried at the moment,” Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reported from Abuja, adding that the threat of sanctions over the coup was also a cause for concern for the new rulers in Niamey.
“There has been a standby force for years, but it has never been activated in recent times. The [last] time it was activated was in 2017 in the Gambia … when former President Yahya Jammeh tried to stay in power after he lost the election to the current president,” Idris added.
Details on how that force would work and its funding are still unclear, with ECOWAS defence ministers expected to make decisions later this year.

Bola Tinubu, president of Nigeria and ECOWAS chairman, said on Friday that the West African bloc and the international community “would do everything to defend democracy and ensure democratic governance continues to take firm root in the region”. Ahead of Sunday’s gathering, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke to Tinubu to convey his “deep concern” over the situation in Niger, and “underscored his support for President Tinubu’s continued efforts to restore constitutional order” there.
‘Stay out’
Meanwhile, in Niamey, thousands of protesters also gathered outside the French embassy, with some trying to enter the building, according to the AFP news agency.
Former colonial ruler France and the European Union have suspended security cooperation and financial aid to Niger following the coup.
Some demonstrators ripped off and stamped on a plaque bearing the words “Embassy of France in Niger”, replacing it with Nigerien and Russian flags, while others shouted “Long live Russia”, “Long live Putin” and “Down with France”, AFP reported.
Protesters also tried to climb the walls of the embassy, while others stomped on burning French flags. “Anyone who attacks French nationals, the military, diplomats, or French interests will spur an immediate and uncompromising response from France,” French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said in a statement.
“Emmanuel Macron was able to speak again to Presidents Bazoum and [previous Niger leader Mahamadou] Issoufou in the last few hours, both of whom clearly condemned the coup and called for calm among the population,” the statement said.

Some taking part in Sunday’s rally also warned regional bodies who have denounced the coup to stay away.
“I would like also to say to the European Union, African Union and ECOWAS, please please stay out of our business,” said Oumar Barou Moussa, who was at the demonstration, according to the Reuters news agency.
“It’s time for us to take our lives, to work for ourselves. It’s time for us to talk about our freedom and liberty. We need to stay together, we need to work together, we need to have our true independence,” Barou said.

TINUBU ALSO HAS SEVEN DAYS TO REVERSE SUBSIDY REMOVAL BY 2ND AUGUST 2023.

MR. TINUBU SHOULD INITIATE A POPULAR REFERENDUM SO THAT AGITATED NIGERIAN COULD VOTE YES OR NO TO A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT WILL EMBRACE GRASSROOT PARTICIPATION IN GOVERNMENT ! RIGHTEOUSNESS EXALTS A NATION BUT SIN IS A REPROACH TO ANY PEOPLE.(PROV 14:34).

Nigerians should not be debating how to distribute palliatives to augment sudden increase on petroleum pump price
when countries like Egypt, Pakistan, Algeria, Libya have advanced with the trend of technology to abandon fossil energy and have concentrated on alternative clean energy sources which include Compressed Natural Gas, (CNG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), Thermal Energy, Solar Energy Electric Energy, Wind Energy, Hydro Electricity and have saved their poor masses from undeserved sufferings!

Nigeria would remain a backward nation as long as the fundamental rights in respect of social economic and natural endowments of the people were denied by consecutive administrations! The Presidential System in a developing country like Nigeria will not only create billionaires like Mr. BAT and his ilks but will keep them stinkingly rich permanently!


Nigeria is the second largest producer of crude oil in Africa after Angola. But consecutive military and civilian administrations have diverted funds from the petroleum industry to themselves and their cronies year after year and the poorest of all the poor people in the world are found in Nigeria!
It is a shame that in this 21st Century world when most citizens drive electric cars, electric trains, automobiles powered by compressed natural gas, solar energy etc, DANGOTE REFINERIES will begin processing into the Nigerian and World Markets daily volume of 650,000 barrels of crude oil per day in a single train at market forces prices to recoup his investment at the detriment of the already downtrodden masses from the last week of July or first week of August, 2023!

No appointee Special Adviser of Mr. BAT saw anything wrong in subsidy removal through their master's policy somersault which has turned the nation's economy upside down provided their salaries would be borrowed and paid in due time BECAUSE THE PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM IS A VICIOUS CIRCLE OF MISFITS IN THE SADDLE OF GOVERNANCE!
HOW MANY VEHICLES BELONG TO MULTI-BILLIONAIRE PRESIDENT TINUBU AND HIS FELLOW CLUB MEMBERS WHO ARE "STINKINGLY RICH"?


NIGERIANS REJECT TINUBU'S HOPELESS PALLIATIVES?

But in contention at all levels of socio- economic conversation and engagements in Nigeria especially in the public domain on the internet and social media are the unethical an unholy modalities through which Mr. Tinubu and his political jobbers plan to distribute the United Nations USD$800 million dollars World Bank loan and the NGN500 billion naira Petroleum Removal Palliative Funds already approved by the National Assembly, which the SUPER RICH POLITICIANS must control through their whims and caprices?


And whereas Mr. BAT on 29th May 2023, in his investiture speech as the new controversial President of Nigeria decreed that petroleum subsidy was already discarded in a military fashion which precipitated petrol pump price that sky-rocketed from N195 naira to N540 naira per litre even before he concluded his very UNDIPLOMATIC SPEECH!

In Seven Weeks of his shaky administration as at 23rd July 2023, the price is now actively between N615 naira for those who are lucky and up to almost N1,000 naira in remote areas of Nigeria and it would still rise! Everyone thought and believe that if Tinubu were an Economist, he would have treaded softly, avoid the outburst and would have in the One Month Window between 29th May - 30th June 2023, to provide the so-called palliatives which are now so evasive because it had turned out to be " MEDICINE AFTER DEATH" and being rejected the TALAKAWAS who are already at their wits end!

QUESTIONS, QUESTIONS!

1) WHERE ARE THE 100 ELECTRIC BUSES WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO ABUJA BY BUHARI ADMINISTRATION?
2) WHAT HAPPENED TO FEDERAL GOVERNMENT/NIGERIA LABOUR CONGRESS (NLC), COMMITTEE ON IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG), VEHICLES FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION?
3) WHY DID FG SIDELINE THE CNG PROJECT BUT EMBARKED ON TOTAL REMOVAL OF SUBSIDY ON PMS BEFORE INTRODUCTION OF ANY PALLIATIVE?
4) SOME STATES HAVE EMBARKED ON MASS TRANSIT PALLIATIVES FOR THEIR CITIZENS - WERE THEY ASSISTED BY FG?
5) WHAT STOPPED MR. BAT TO DECLARE THAT HIS CABINET OF MINISTERS AND ADVISERS, ALL GOVERNORS, LEGISLATORS AT FEDERAL AND STATE LEVELS WOULD NOT COLLECT SALARIES BUT SITTING ALLOWANCES UNTIL HIS BLUNDER ON SUBSIDY REMOVAL WAS RESOLVED?
6) WHERE IS THE AUTHENTIC NATIONAL REGISTER OF 120 MILLION POOREST OF THE POOR KEPT?

Now parents who have children in Unity Schools are set to face tough times in fees payment as the INSENSITIVE Federal Government increases college tuition!
UNILAG follows suit - jacks up fees from N19, 000 to N190,250 while Private Schools also plan further hike in their fees!
All of the above calamities/tragedies were caused by the unpreparedness of ONE POLITICAL JOBBER CALLED MR. BAT!!!

Please find below the VERDICT OF THE CITIZENS WHO CAN NO LONGER BE HOODWINKED ON THIS PROVOCATIVE NATIONAL ISSUE THROUGH THE MEDIA!

"Invest N500bn palliative funds in infrastructure, activists urge FG!
15th July 2023
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu By Emmanuel Ojo. Kindly share this story:
Civil rights activists have discredited the National Assembly’s approval of President Bola Tinubu’s request of N500bn to cushion the effects of the removal of fuel subsidy on the poor, noting that it is better invested in infrastructure as there is no dependable data system to carry out a transparent, impactful process.

The reactions came Thursday following Tinubu’s move for “approval of an additional $800m for the funding of the National Safety Programme,” under which the Federal Government will transfer the sum of N8,000 monthly to 12,000,000 poor and low-income households for six months.

The cash will be digitally transferred directly to the bank accounts and mobile wallets of beneficiaries. Meanwhile, the policy has been greeted with several reactions from opposition parties, the Nigerian Labour Congress and other stakeholders. In a telephone conversation with Saturday PUNCH, the Executive Director of the Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre, Auwal Rafsanjani, said the need of Nigerians was not N8,000 monthly, but relief through infrastructure in the transportation, electricity, food production, and health care sectors, He added that sharing of money would result to having funds that would not be accounted for. He argued that there were no frameworks on how the indigent individuals would be identified; hence, the mechanism for sharing the fund had not been put in place.

“I think what Nigerians are looking for is relief in the area of transportation facilities. Nigerians are looking for relief in the area where potential services like electricity are stable, places where they can invest in food productions, areas where they can get relief in terms of healthcare. “There are no frameworks on how to identify the vulnerable. Also, the mechanism for sharing the money is also not in place. There is some guide for community leaders, religious leaders, labour leaders, civil society groups, and even the NBA and FIDA.

“If you want to do a transparent something and to ensure that the money goes to the right set of persons, you must have this category of persons in every community, and what they should do is to ensure that any money that will be given should go to the entire local government such that the money is not in the hands of one agency,” he noted.

Also speaking, a social commentator, Jackson Omenazu, stressed that Nigeria’s poor data system would not achieve a transparent palliative process that involves sharing of funds. According to him, the N500bn palliative fund and an additional $800m, as requested by the President, could go a long way in fixing the three refineries in the country and resuscitate some companies which are moribund.,"

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! TINUBU SHOULD DO THE NEEDFUL BY CHAMPIONING AN EXECUTIVE BILL TO PROCLAIM A REFERENDUM THAT WILL DEMAND FOR A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT FOR NIGERIA WITHIN THREE (3) MONTHS - AUGUST - OCTOBER 2023, WITHOUT FAIL!
This is a Divine Order that MUST be obeyed by Mr. BAT to avoid the LORD'S ANGER!
OUR GOD IS CONSUMING FIRE!

Diarchy is a government jointly ruled by military and civilian components. From the first and second military coups, January/ July 1966 and up to the end of the "Biafra War" in January 1970, Nigerian soldiers dominated the entire landscape of the country by totally usurping all functions of democratic values and governance!

They also deprived citizens of their inalienable fundamental human rights!
In a warning to Mr. Tinubu (Zion B-BC Newsletter publication of 7th April 2023. Volume 12 No.508, We specifically emphasize that downtrodden Nigerians can hardly wait for Monday 29th May 2023 to bid good riddance to the last of all the military merchants who have overstayed their welcome and who for 57 years (1966 - 2023, practically turned the country into a BEGGAR NATION through mismanagement of all natural endowments and deliberate failure to develop human capital into full potential!

Abdusalam who took over following the demise of General Sani Abacha handed over to retired old general Olusegun Obasanjo who tried to perpetrate himself for a third term of four years (2007-2011) but was resisted by the Citizens!
And another military general Buhari during his Eight-year tenure decided to perpetuate his chief security officers in office contrary to the constitution and now that he has successfully installed a surrogate as civilian president, it has manifest that his clandestine plan is still in place. Buhari kept all Service Chiefs whom he appointed from 2015-2021 in spite of public outcry while citizens suffered degradation and insecurity through atrocities by Boko Haram terrorists!

And eventually when they were retired, it was with pomp, pageantry and grandeur send forth with many royalty severance packages of humongous allowances plus foreign appointments as ambassadors in oversea countries!
MR. TINUBU HAS FOLLOWED SUIT BY DISHING OUTRAGEOUS SEVERANCE BOOTIES FOR THE RECENTLY RETIRED SECURITY CHIEFS!

Please find below a very detailed analysis of another Tinubu's confused decisions since he increased the Citizens sufferings from the day of his inaugural goof of "removing subsidy before providing palliatives" – which if reversed should have portrayed him as an astute manager of the economy!

Whistler.ng like other media reports has succinctly put the infuriating mis-management of BORROWED FUNDS by Tinubu in this format:
"Nigeria to Spend N3bn on Severance Package for Ex-Service Chiefs, Retired Generals Annually."By Martins Ayotunde, Kasarahchi Aniagolu On Jul 5, 2023
"The retirement benefits of the newly replaced service chiefs and other senior military officers compulsorily retired following the appointment of their juniors as service chiefs will cost Nigerians over three billion naira annually, findings by THE WHISTLER have shown.
"An analysis of the combined costs of their emoluments and benefits, asides from pension, of the four outgoing service chiefs including the Chief of Defence, General Lucky Irabor; Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant Colonel Farouq Yahaya; Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo and Chief of Air Staff, Air Marshal Isiaka Amao revealed that the retired service chiefs will benefit about N345,080,000 annually which includes the annual salaries of personnel attached to them, vehicle purchases and healthcare cost.

"Other military generals with seniority on commission above that of NDA Regular Course 39 who were forced to retire will also get vehicles, health, and personal staff.
"The over 100 affected senior officers will cost the country over N2,824,000,000 every year asides from their monthly pension.
"Details of the juicy emoluments of the affected officers first became public on Saturday following a Punch report which cited The Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers of the Armed Forces of Nigeria 2017 (revised) which listed the benefits of the retired Generals upon leaving the respective services.
"According to the secret document, benefits of a retiring CDS and service chiefs include one bulletproof SUV or equivalent vehicle to be maintained by the service and to be replaced every four years; two Peugeot 508 cars or equivalent backup vehicles; and five domestic aides made up of two service cooks, two stewards, and a civilian gardener.
"Each of them is also entitled to an Aide-de-Camp/security officer; special assistant of a lieutenant/captain or equivalent, or personal assistant of the rank of warrant officer or equivalent; and nine standard guards of soldiers.

"They are also entitled to three service drivers; one service orderly; escorts to be provided by the appropriate military units/formations as the need arises; and free medical cover in Nigeria and abroad to the tune of $20,000 yearly.
"Other military generals forced into retirement are individually entitled to one Peugeot 508, a cook, a steward, two residential guards, one service orderly, one service driver, and free medicals in Nigeria and abroad to the tune of $15,000 per year. These officers include Major Generals and equivalents in the Navy and Air Force.
"Ex-service chiefs are entitled to a total of 21 staff each drawn from their respective military formation (i.e. Army, Navy, or Airforce) and one civilian staff, they can also request escorts to be provided by the appropriate military units/formations as the need arises.

"The 21 personal staff comprises 1 orderly, 1 Aide-de-camp, 1 Special Assistant, 1 Personal Assistant, 3 Service Drivers, 9 standard guards of soldiers as well as 5 domestic staff (2 service cooks, 2 stewards, and 1 civilian gardener). The HTACOS document also specified the rank of some of the aides to be provided for the ex-service chiefs.

TOTAL COSTS

'A summation of all the costs shows that each retired service chief will cost the country N24,120,000 in personnel and staff, N46,750,000 in vehicles and another 15,400,000 naira in medicals. This gives a total of N86, 270,000 per service chief. The four of them will cost the country N345, 080,000 yearly.
"Retired generals will take N7,440,000 in personnel and staff costs; N9,250,000 in vehicles and N11,550,000 in medicals annually which gives a total of N28,240,000 naira. 100 retired generals will cost the country N2, 824,000,000 naira every year.
"Subsequently, all the newly retired military officials will cost the Federal Government a total of N3, 169,080,000 in combined costs yearly."

TINUBU'S SELF-INFLITED FINANCIAL TRAVAIL HAS EXPOSED THE FACT THAT HE WASN'T PREPARED FOR PRESIDENCY!

In addition to the soldiers severance remuneration, all governors, legislators and local government chairmen who were not re-elected are also in the wing to collect humongous severance allowances! It is true that the National Assembly has rubber-stamped the NGN500 billion naira which Tinubu requested for palliatives in respect of fuel subsidy removal but no action has commenced on how to disburse the said amount because he does not want the money to go into “wrong hands"! And in the meantime the mass sufferings continue unabated because there is no National Register of 100million dimensionally- poor Nigerians to be deployed for the immediate CASH TRANSFER of N8, 000 naira per month for six months for family of FIVE!

In addition to the confusion, USD $800 million dollars loan which has been granted to the previous administration is to be disbursed according to specifications by the lender unlike the NGN500 billion loan which NGN 70 billion naira was already allocated to NASS!
According to available statistics from Nigeria bureau of statistics NBS household expenditures is in the neighbourhood of NGN130.077, 621billion naira per month while inflation has soared to, 22.4%!

MR. PRESIDENT SHOULD BE AFRAID OF CITIZENS COUP DE TAT AND NOT THE MILITARY!

The citizens are at their highest point of resilience and can no longer absorb any more sufferings! Because of the Hosehold expenses measure unguarded utterances of Mr. Tinubu who decided to PUT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE through his unpreparedness for leadership in governance at the level of PRESIDENCY!
The TRUTH must be told that LAGOS STATE IS NOT NIGERIA but only one of the 36 States. All those accolades that have been adduced to him as having developed Lagos into a mega cosmopolitan and business destination on the West African Coast is balderdash!
The whole world can see the unpreparedness of this man WHO LEFT OFFICE OVER 15 YEARS AGO AND HAS REMAINED ON THE SIDELINE EVER SINCE
and how he has messed up the economy and expect that it should be business as usual!

His style of governance is unacceptable to the masses of this nation. What he should be doing right now is to create more employment for the people in the AGRICULTURAL SECTOR because it is the most viable of all the others. And whereas HE IS SHOPPING FOR MORE TAXES! We have it on good authority that import tax has astronomically increased to 80% and this policy will definitely affect importation of fertilizers and all other agricultural inputs!

A hungry man is an angry man! Tinubu on his return from Kenya Africa Union meeting must sponsor the Referendum Bill for a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT to avert the dangers that are looming ahead. A word is enough for the wise!

Did 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu (BAT), say that his controversial, inhuman, insensitive, and unguarded declaration in respect of removal of subsidy cannot be reversed?

Of course not! Only his apologists have engaged in false doctrines:
1) That Nigeria's economy would come to a standstill if the unilateral declaration was reversed.
2) That government would not be able to deliver socio- economic contracts and obligations like debt-servicing, compulsory remittances to global and sub-regional bodies etc on regular basis.
3) Fresh Insecurities would emerge in preventing smuggling of petroleum products to neighbouring countries along the nation's porous borders.
4) That outstanding debts that were due to offset previous importations would accumulate.
5) That artificial fuel scarcity would ensue because private importers that were enjoying the new prices of between N540. N700 - N1,000 naira per litre of PMS, "according to international market forces", would hoard the products and create fresh artificial scarcity and that the masses would be worse for it etc!

Apologists would always create the worst scenarios to justify their appointments and salaries even at peril of consciously instigating imminent civil disobedience that could easily be avoided!

AT THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES - A MATTER IS ESTABLISHED!

We were the First Body to condemn Tinubu's undiplomatic utterance at his inauguration and advised him to rescind it with immediate effect! We devoted THREE PUBLICATIONS on this ugly national trend
In the month of June 2023, and We wait patiently for him to do the needful before it was too late! Second, political activists under the aegis of the Coalition for Revolution (CORE), according to newspapers reports also called on him to reverse the removal of petrol subsidy by his government which immediately resulted in long queues at filling stations, hike in petrol price and increase in transportation fare across the country.

“On fuel subsidy, the budget I met before I assumed office and what I heard is that there is no provision for subsidy. Fuel subsidy is gone,” he had said.
But reacting to the removal of the subsidy, CORE described the government action as an attack against the poor masses. According to the activists, the federal government’s argument that Nigeria’s indebtedness is due to petrol subsidy is not true, adding that governments in Europe and North America provide subsidies for energy, food and other essentials to placate the public.

CORE accused Tinubu’s administration of committing itself to liberalisation of the economy and social services, noting that this would lead to increment in school fees, hike in the price of quality health services, and increment in house rents for working people.

“The APC regime of Bola Ahmed Tinubu has hit the ground running with a whip of anti-poor policies, aimed at repressing working-class people for capitalists. The first in the series of attacks against the poor masses was launched at his inauguration when he declared an immediate removal of the fuel subsidy, despite the fact that allocation for the said subsidy is included in the 2023 Appropriation Act, until the end of June.
“He has followed up on this with the first steps towards a full-scale devaluation of the naira, under the guise of unifying the official and black market foreign exchange rates.

“The Tinubu administration, whose legitimacy to rule is still questionable, has committed itself to liberalisation of the economy and social services. This means increases in school fees which several tertiary institutions are introducing already, the pricing of quality health services further out of the reach of poor people, and increasing house rents for working people.
“The only way that working-class people can save themselves from the agony of this barrage of neoliberal policies and many more to come is with stiff resistance. The Coalition for Revolution (CORE) had thus seen the Nigeria Labour Congress’ call for a strike as an important point of departure for the struggle... but is LABOUR NOT CULPABLE?
Third, was the WORLD BANK'S REPORT, of Thursday 29th June 2023, which stated that 4 million more Nigerians had joined the 133 MULTI- DIMENSIONALLY POOR between January and June 2020.

In addition 7.1 million more will join if subsidy removal subsidy was not properly managed and suggested that "compensating transfers will be essential in helping to shield Nigerian households from the initial price in parts of the petrol subsidy reform".

TINUBU HAS BEEN EXPOSED AS A PUPPET TO FORMER COLONIAL MASTERS!

As far as the United States, United Kingdom, European Union and other prominent foreign countries were concerned, Tinubu was on the right track and they have supported his reckless action only to prove that Africa will remain a slave to their continents!

QUESTIONS QUESTIONS !!!!!

Are Nigerians the worst sinners on Earth?
It will be preposterous to assume or conclude in that manner!
The Nigerian project is under siege! It is being robbed and the desecrated by the FEUDALS!
Who should be blamed for the horrible state of the Nation which favours Tinubu and his gang to the detriment of the masses? Who's should suffer the hardships and tighten their belts if not those who have created the quagmire of subsidy removal?

If government failed to fulfill its constitutional duties and obligations should the citizens take the blame having been short-changed and robbed of all their fundamental rights? Who should suffer for government's delinquency, ineptitude, derelictions, mis-management, inappropriateness, policy somersaults cluelessness e t c?

It is the duty of government to ensure compliance to all socio-economic contracts with the citizens. If they failed who should be punished and held culpable?
WHY SHOULD NIGERIANS WHO REFUSED TO ,"JAPA" CONTINUE TO SUFFER FOR BEING PATRIOTIC CITIZENS WHEN CREDIBLE POLICY FORMULATION AND EXECUTION ARE THE EXCLUSIVE PRESERVES OF LEADERS IN GOVERNMENT?
If the ROADS are not motorable, Rails are impassable, Terrorism and Insecurity are consistently at their PEAKS, Who should take the blames?

TINUBU IS THE CHIEF AND UNREPENTANT SINNER IN NIGERIA!

As a chip of the old block Tinubu on his arrival from his first foreign tour to France and Britain bombarded Lagos roads with a barrage of Presidential fleet of over 100 vehicles that escorted him from the Airport to his Bourdillon Residence in Ikoyi Lagos - a distance of about 20 kilometers! They had all tanks fill to the brim with TAX PAYERS MONEY!

Breaking News!!!!
N400 billion naira has been saved through Subsidy removal in the month of June 2023! Will Tinubu expend it on recurrent expenditures of staff salaries/emoluments?

And yet, his All Progressives Congress (APC) Government promises in its manifesto to reduce cost of governance and completely eliminate flagrant lifestyles of all functionaries of the State! Who is deceiving who if not Tinubu and his gang?

HIS ONLY SAVING GRACE WILL BE TO QUICKLY CALL FOR A REFERENDUM TO INSTITUTE A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THAT WILL INCLUDE GRASSROOT PARTICIPATION IN OBEDIENCE TO DIVINE COMMAND WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE MONTHS!

"Obedience is better than sacrifice!"

Proponents of TRUE FEDERALISM from within the ranks of past administrations in Nigeria from 1999 deliberately deceived the citizens to further perpetrate military presidency!
They were insincere when they initiated National Conferences of delegates from all Geo-Political Zones to discuss and made recommendations when it was common knowledge that True Federalism
could only thrive in a democracy that was completely devoid of corruption, tribalism, nepotism, autocracy, feudalism, despotism, and bigotry in all its ramifications!

Ex- Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), foisted Kangaroo National Conferences which gulped TWO DIGIT BILLIONS OF NAIRA to corruptly suppress True Federalism agitatators but to no avail!
The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), which is currently battling for 'Bola Tinubu's credibility at the Presidential Election Petition Court, did not touch the volumes of recommendations until August 2017 when it set up a 23-Man Committee on True Federalism headed by the ex Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasri El Rufai, which came up with 24 Issues which attracted public interest.

On 25th January 2018 a comprehensive report was handed over to former National Chairman of APC Chief John Oyegun who promised that by the middle of February 2018 all structures of the party would meet and consider the report so that the National Executive Council (NEC), which was the party's caucus would be able to decide on all salient issues. Up to the time of Buhari's two-term tenure, the report never saw the daylight!

AND NOW TINUBU HAS CONTINUED TO BASTARDIZE NIGERIA WITH MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL SYSTEM AND EVERYBODY IS HAILING HIM!

The moral decadence in the Nigerian polity has taken the dimension of the "dog going back to its vomit!"
SHAMELESS CITIZENS FROM ALL POLITICAL DIVIDE ARE CONGRATULATING 'BOLA TINUBU FOR JUMPING FROM FRYING PAN INTO FIRE AFTER HIS INAUGURAL GAFFE IN RESPECT OF PETROL SUBSIDY REMOVAL WITHOUT NECESSARY AND POSITIVE PALLIATIVES IN PLACE TO CUSHION THE SPIRAL EFFECTS PLAGUING THE DOWN TRODDEN MASSES OF MULTI-DIMENSIONALLY POVERTY-STRICKEN TALAKAWAS!

Most of the small parties that have won some seats across board both at the National Assembly and at the State Assemblies have begun to jump ship into the ruling APC even as litigation for credibility was still ongoing at the Petition Tribunal!

SPECIAL ADVISERS BEFORE INAUGURATION TOLD TINUBU TO HIT THE GROUND RUNNING!

On assumption to the highest office having departed active service in 15 years, he obeyed without a second thought and in FOUR WEEKS OF CONTINUOUS BLUNDERS (29TH MAY - 25TH JUNE 2023), the following absurdities cascaded from Aso Rock like a molten lava and destroying everything in its path.
1) He verbally removed the obnoxious, controversial, phantom fuel subsidy during his inaugural speech without any consultation with established authorities like the National Economic Council (NEC) and insulted the citizen's collective psyche sarcastically by claiming that he mentioned during his campaign that he would remove the phantom subsidy if he became President!
2) He inaugurated NEC on Wednesday 21st June 2023 to belatedly discuss palliatives after the Citizens had suffered untold hardships which cannot go away except his UNILATERAL DECISION ON SUBSIDY REMOVAL WAS RESCINDED!
3) The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) are holding discussions with the Federal Government that Subsidy Removal should be reversed and that in the interim, workers must be paid a NATIONAL WAGE OF 200,000 NAIRA PER MONTH! Questions to be answered by President Tinubu: Can a builder embark on a construction without first digging a solid foundation? Were there palliatives in place to cushion the spiral effect of astronomical increase of 160% on cost of goods and services? What about food scarcity and inflation escalation day by day and the citizens anger that resulted into civil disobedience in some parts of the country?
4) Signing Statute-bar Bills without proper advice. (4) Appointment of Advisors when Permanent Secretaries of MDAs were in charge with authentic data for smooth administration; the same old method of compensating loyalists. (5) Ensuring that subsidy removal would provide funds to pay salaries and allowances of his administration at the detriment of the masses.
5) He suspended the Central Bank Governor (CBN), and EFCC Chairman on allegations of corruption and abuse of office.
6) Dabbled into national security - a terrain to which he was completely alien by summarily sacking of all Service Chiefs/National Security Adviser and replacing them with immediate effect in order to show his executive power as Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces!
7) Since his assumption of office COST OF GOVERNANCE HAS INCREASED BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS and he is thinking of BORROWING MORE MONEY BUT HAS BEEN BLOCKED BY THE DEBT MANAGEMENT OFFICE!
On Thursday 22nd June 2023, news filtered in that 114% salary increase for Mr. President, his Vice, elected Federal and State political office holders and Judicial officers Federal and State political office holders and judicial officers had been finalized as if it were BUSINESS AS USUAL - but his aides have denied the news as untrue.

REBELLION IS AS SIN OF WITCH CRAFT!

Instead of complying with DIVINE INSTRUCTION to announce at inauguration the composition of a CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY that will formulate the necessary laws to initiate a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT IN NIGERIA WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF HIS ASSUMPTION, Tinubu did the opposite by adding more headaches, migraine, excruciating pains, agonies and even deaths to the less privileged of the society who are the taxpayers by denying them the only DIVIDEND OF DEMOCRACY - PETROL AT AFFORDABLE PRICE!

QUESTION QUESTION QUESTION!!!!!

HAS TINUBU AND HIS TEAM OF SPECIAL AIDES AND ADVISERS DECLARED THEIR ASSETS ACCORDING TO THE CODE OF CONDUCT BUREAU (C C B) AND TRIBUNAL ACT CHAPTER 58 LAW OF THE FEDERATION OF NIGERIA (LFN) 1990?
CCB has the legal mandate to establish and maintain a high standard of public morality in the conduct of government business and to ensure that the actions and behaviour public officers conform to the highest standards of public morality.

The Agency must also carry out its own onerous duties by assuring that all public officers whether elected or appointed recruited or contracted must collect a mandatory form from its offices across the 36 States of the Federation and the FCT and fill and return such forms duly signed to confirm that the declarant could vouchsafe that every declaration was his or her conviction and was true and correct.

And that every declarant was also required by law to declare his or her assets liabilities actually owned including overseas properties stating their values in foreign currencies at the material time and not anticipated assets/liabilities including that of a spouse is who is not a public officer and children under 18 years of age; sincerely and submitted to the Bureau within 30 days of the receipt of the forms. Declarants must personally go and swear to the declarations before a High Court Judge nearest to their work stations before submitting to the Bureau. Most importantly all of these must have been done before assumption of any government appointment!!! Nigerians need urgent answers from Tinubu and his newly recruited CRONIES immediately!

Tinubu is believed to be wealthier than the LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT - ALBEIT THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT!
Nigerians cannot easily forget how Tinubu boasted of sponsoring the ex President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC to win elections in 2015 and 2019. They cannot also forget the BULLION VAN that were sighted at his Ikoyi Residence, Lagos State on the days of elections and how he also boasted that he could spend his money as a liked!

Today Tinubu is President of Nigeria. He must give account to Nigerians before giving any further Presidential Executive Orders on the affairs of this nation!

ANOTHER QUESTION TO BE ASKED ABOUT THE "FUEL SUBSIDY IS GONE" VITUPERATION AT HIS INAUGURATION?
Did it have the backing of any INSTRUMENT OF LAW? WAS IT GAZETTED? WAS IT A PRESIDENTIAL PREROGATIVE? OR WAS IT EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 1 WITHOUT LEGAL BACKING? Nigerians need answers very quickly!

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]


I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon. 08130669886, 08080243066. g-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

(A). Nigeria was alien to terrorism, insurgency high profile crimes and criminality until 1999 when a former military Head of State was released from PRISON to become a DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT to the surprise of concerned patriots but little did anyone realise that his debut was the beginning of another round of sufferings of the Citizens under a fresh set of Task Masters!

The demise of General Sani Abacha should have concluded the end of military era forever in Nigeria but it did not turn out as expected because the most senior in rank after him decided otherwise!

Retired General Olusegun Obasanjo who was imposed as civilian President desecrated the high office in soldierly manner by perpetrating all manner of atrocities through extra-judicial killings, premeditated and executed by unknown government operatives and after two terms of EIGHT YEARS, he had the effrontery to surreptitiously moot his inordinate ambition to RULE for a third term!

With one voice all patriotic Nigerians opposed his unconstitutional and clandestine move and in retaliation he openly declared that the 2007 Presidential Elections would be "A DO-OR-DIE EVENT!
(B). The duo of Umaru Musa Yar'adua and Goodluck Jonathan took over the mantle of leadership from the very corrupt administration of Obasanjo without effecting any positive change!

At the height of public outcry and the media against institutional mal-administration and decadence Jonathan said that STEALING WAS NOT CORRUPTION and so until he was ousted in 2015 the country was subjected to shame and degradation among the comity of Nations.

(C). While ex-President Muhammadu Buhari was in the trench as opposition, each time he failed to rest the presidency from the various incumbents from 2003 to 2015, he belched fire and brimstone and caused the death of so many innocent citizens most especially in the Northern States of Nigeria through unwarranted and senseless protests.
At a stage, he boasted that if he did not win his Fourth attempt in 2015, "DOGS AND BABOONS WILL BE SOAKED IN BLOOD!"

He kept his promise in eight years of two terms to destroy Nigeria totally with unprecedented figures of human casualties and massive destruction of institutional strategic infrastructures! His administration had been adjudged as the worst so far since attainment of Nigeria's Independence from the British Colonial Masters!

(D). THE STATE GOVERNORS AND LEGISLATORS WERE EQUALLY CULPABLE!

NASIR El RUFAI, two term Governor of Kaduna State, led the pack of feudalistic, clanish, tribalistic, nepotistic and religious bigots among State Administrators from 2015-2023!

He took special delight in the sufferings/anguish deliberately meted on the Southern Kaduna Indigenes who were dominantly Christians through regular attacks by armed Fulani Herdsmen who regularly invaded their territories in company of their foreign collaborators to kill, maim and destroy their properties and farms with reckless abandon! Also at the slightest disagreement on political issues with his colleagues he vented his anger by demolishing their immovable properties which according to him were situated on unapproved plots of lands!

(E). NYESOME WIKE, erstwhile Governor of Rivers State was another sadistic politician who took delight in extra-judicial killings of the opposition!
From the very bloody 2015 gubernatorial elections which brought him to power to the end of his second tenure, Rivers State was notorious for decapitation of its citizens through sponsored cultism by his administration!
Graves of headless bodies littered Port Harcourt and it's suburbs throughout his reign of terror! A Nigeria Police Assistant Superintendent, posted to the State Capital was beheaded in cold blood in the heat and desperation for a second term bid!

(F).THE ALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS {APC) INCUMBENT KOGI STATE GOVERNOR - Yahaya Bello, turned out to be a terror to the citizens of the State in spite of the fact that he was a product of divine providence. He stepped in without any election following the demise of Abubakar Audu, the governorship candidate who had already won the ballot!

In the events leading to his second tenure from from16th November 2019, Yahaya Bello showed his true colours by unleashing mayhem upon the population by sponsoring arms-wielding thugs to terrorize all opposition! An opposition party Woman Leader was allegedly locked up in her residence and burnt alive with her properties during electioneering campaigns!

Now he calls himself the LION OF KOGI STATE! On 3rd June 2023, his convoy confronted the Social Democratic Party (SDP), governorship candidate on a Lokoja Highway and he was said to have ordered his security details to shoot and kill the entire entire opposition entourage who escaped by the whiskers!
And in an media interview, he describe the opposition candidate as an ANTELOPE which crossed the path of a LION and boasted that the antelope would not be so lucky the next time! Shortly before 25th February 2023, Presidential Elections, the power-drunk Governor instructed all APC Stakeholders and Candidates to physically harass all opposition and ensure victory at all costs!

(G). 7TH NASARAWA STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY NOW BOASTS OF TWO SPEAKERS FOLLOWING A DICHOTOMY!

The inaugural ceremony of the 7th Nasarawa State of Assembly on Tuesday 6th June 2023, produced two Speakers (1) A third-term seeking candidate and (2) A green horn representing Kokona Constituency of the State – at different venues!

(H). AIR NIGERIA IS A SCAM AND A FRAUD - NASS!

The outgoing Legislators of the 9th National Assembly (NASS), House of Representatives described the Nigeria Air national carrier launched before the exit of Muhammadu Buhari by his fanatic home-boy Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika as a complete SCAM and FRAUD!
(I). Senator 'Bola Tinubu has signed the obnoxious, detestable and outrageous Bill on Electricity Tarrifs into law just like other draconian Bills that are anti-citizens!

(J).Tinubu's eldest daughter has appointed herself as the IYALOJA GENERAL OF NIGERIA (HEAD OF ALL MARKET WOMEN), AND SIMULTANEOUSLY, THE FIRST DAUGHTER OF NIGERIA while the outgoing SENATE has addressed Mrs.'Remi Tinubu as FIRST LADY a title that does not exist in the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria! The list of questionable behaviors of Nigerian politicians which point to situations of psychotic challenges or mental disorders is very long but suffice it to recommend that there could be no better time than NOW for all Nigerians to demand that current office holders should be mandated to submit themselves for HEAD CHECKS WITHOUT EXCEPTIONS and henceforth no politician would vie for elective offices without requisite and authentic PSYCHIATRIC CERTIFICATE!

NIGERIANS DESERVE A VERY SANE CLIME AS WE LOOK FORWARD TO A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT TO BE INITIATED BY PRESIDENT ‘BOLA TINUBU WITHIN THE NEXT SIX MONTHS ACCORDING TO DIVINE MANDATE!

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]



I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon, 08130669886, 08080243066. g-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

Buhari's twilight contracts and appointments have garnered negative public comments/outcries and continued to hit headlines of major newspapers in Nigeria and the Disapora, since he finally returned from his two-week visit to London for King Charles III Coronation and Dentist appointment, (3rd-16th, 2023), all at the Taxpayers doorstep!
From the second week in May and up to the time of this publication (28-05-23), the array of headlines include but not limited to:
1) Buhari leads governors into award of last-minute contracts.
2) Buhari clears over 40 pending memos, appoints agency.
3) Last-minute contracts appointments: Buhari and governors.
4) Buhari, governors with controversial contracts
5) Buhari's Aviation Minister Sirika under fire over last minute appointments.
6) Buhari's last-minute appointments, contracts will cause more damage to incoming government ;
7) 19 Days to go, Buhari seeks fresh $800m World Bank Loan ( Stop piling debts for incoming President, Govs, Anti- graft Organisation tells Buhari, others, etc.

The Independent Newspaper front page publication of Sunday 28th May 2023, titled: "CACOL Cautions FG, Outgoing Govs On Last Minute Contracts, Appropriations' and credited to Ejikeme Omenazu, reported that Chairman of the NGO, Centre for Anti-corruption and Open Leadership, Mr. 'Debo Adeniran, expressed reservations at the flagrant manner outgoing administrations both at the Federal and State levels have been awarding contracts. The Chairman also disclosed that outgoing administrators of various administrations across geo-political zones had made appointments into sensitive positions and presented supplementary budgets almost at the eve of the expiration of their tenures! HE also condemned the recent actions by the outgoing officials, last-minute rush to award contracts, sign new laws and make new appointments into key positions without due process.

CACOL accused the Federal government especially for announcing the award of multi-million naira contract for various ministries which amounted to a whopping sum of NGN 327.34billion naira even at its 10th May 2023, weekly Federal Executive Council (FEC), Meeting.

Beneficiary Ministries include transportation, Sports, Aviation, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Works including ongoing projects, IRS buildings in Abuja and Port-Harcourt. The report claimed that out-going State Governors have awarded suspicious similar contracts and signed new bills into law! The outgoing Taraba State Governor Darius Ishiaku was said to have commissioned an uncompleted 500 Units Housing Estate for civil servants ( contracted since 2017) and paid upfront all bills connected to the "Estate" named after him! Previously, he was reported to have approved 2 billion naira for the purchase of cars for himself his deputy and their wives.

Delta State was not left out in the publication which claimed that the outgoing Governor Ifeanyi Okowa (and PDP's Vice Presidential Candidate at the February 2023 Presidential Elections), recently presented a NGN71 billion naira supplementary budget to the State House of Assembly, 14 days to the expiration of his two terms tenure. This supplementary budget was made up of NGN5.6 billion naira in Recurrent Expenditure and NGN65.5 billion naira in Capital Expenditure!

PLEASE FIND BELOW THE DAILY POST PUBLICATION OF 24TH MAY,2023, TITLED: "BUHARI'S AVIATION MINISTER, SIRIKA UNDER FIRE OVER LAST-MINUTE APPOINTMENTS IN FAAN, NAMA." BY 'SEUN OPEJOBI.

The Centre for Social Change and Democracy (CSD), has criticised the recent appointment spree in the Federal Ministry of Aviation by its Minister Captain Hadi Sirika. The centre alleged that the appointees are cronies of the minister who have no business occupying such positions.
It also called for a thorough investigation of the appointments, employments, and awards of contract in the aviation sector insisting that the minister had to explain how funds budgeted for the Nigeria Air project were utilized.

In a statement signed by its Executive Director Edward Abakpa, the Center claimed the appointments are the last- ditch attempt by Sirika to reward his loyalists who will in turn sustain the corruption looting and high-handedness he allegedly entrenched in the aviation sector. Recall that Sirika recently approved the appointment of Kabir Yusuf Mohammed as the Managing Director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN). Sirika also named Engr A Tayib Odunowo as the substantive Managing Director/CEO of the Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA).
About 30 others were either handed fresh appointments or redeployed with just a few days to the end of Sirika's tenure as Minister.
Abakpa noted that the new FAAN and NAMA bosses are not qualified for the roles adding that they are beneficiaries of Sirika's power play.
"Sirika negates the central mystique of the Buhari Administration, especially the anti-corruption fight. While the minister's shady skills aren’t new, they reached a new level with the new appointment, Abakpa claimed.
The Centre alleged that "Sirika is building obstacles and creating organizational confusion for the incoming administration. His actions have taken the ministry backwards. The minister's direct control resulted in transactional rather than functional operation of the agencies, thereby impeding their progress.
"Sirika through his micro-management activities has led to the current state of the sector.
He has woefully failed in his duties and deserves a certificate for this. He must not cause further wreckage for 'Bola Tinubu.

"It is on this note that we are calling for a thorough investigation of those appointments, employment, awards of contracts and promotion within the aviation sector. Sirika must explain to the world how funds budgeted for the Nigeria Air project have been expended.
"He should also explain how his cronies got to the pinnacle of the aviation sector without the requisite qualifications. Failure by the Tinubu Government to probe these appointments will throw the country into monumental chaos and mark a return to the dark ages when the airwaves were unsafe for people to fly anywhere in the country."

HADI SIRIKA DISOBEYS COURT ORDER OVER "NIGERIA AIR" - EXIBITED HIGHEST FORM OF OFFICIAL IMPUNITY TO DEBUT AIR FLIGHT TO ABUJA - FRIDAY 26TH MAY 2023, WHILE BUHARI LOOKED THE OTHER WAY!

Outgoing Minister of Aviation Hadi sirika made sure his boast that Nigeria Air aircraft would be in the air before 29th May 2023, the departure date of himself and his boss in spite of the fact that there was a court injunction forbidding him to carry out such action.
He made the disclosure "sub-judice" at the National Aviation Stakeholders Forum 2023 in Abuja on Thursday 23rd March 2023 in spite of the fact that all matters relating to the project were still in court and under litigation.
The first aircraft of Nigeria Air landed at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport in Abuja on Friday afternoon 26th May 20 23 and in a Tweet on that day Hadi Abu bakr Sirika said: "We are here. To Almighty God be all the glory. It has been a very long, tedious, daunting and difficult path. We thank everyone for the support. This by the will of God will be for us and generations to come. Ya Allah make it beneficial for our country and humanity."

WILL BUHARI ADMINISTRATION GET AWAY WITH THESE ASSAULTS ON THE PEOPLE AND THEIR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS?

Tinubu MUST "right all wrongs, reverse all the FIRE BRIGADE contracts, illegal contracts, spurious promotions etc, and set in motion the conducive political atmosphere for UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WITHIN SIX MONTHS OF HIS INAUGURATION ACCORDING TO DIVINE MANDATE!

Tinubu must not lose a life-time opportunity to redeem his image as an addicted Human Rights Activist and Crusader!
He MUST HIT THE GROUND RUNNING FROM THE EAGLE SQUARE AND PROVE ALL OF US RIGHT IN RESPECT OF HIS TRUE IDENTITY AS A COMMITED DEMOCRAT!
"A stitch in time saves nine!"

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]

I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon, 08130669886, 08080243066. g-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

The outgoing Legislators of 9th RUBBER-STAMP National Assembly (NASS), on 3rd May 2023, surreptitiously approved President Muhammadu Buhari's request to restructure repayment of the NGN22.7 trillion naira loan which the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) advanced to the Federal Government under its "Ways and Means" policy scheme to spread over a period of 40years!

The global fiscal scheme which statute is properly documented in the CBN Act is designed to cushion shortfalls and inadequacies in annual budget expenditures. However, there is a caveat which must ensure that a previous loan was vacated before another was granted!

"Ways and Means" is a conceived solution to prevent a flagging economy to remain afloat through the printing of unearned paper currencies to prevent administrations from running aground!

Last year the Senate rejected this request to approve the "Ways and Means" advance restructuring which was intended to pave way for another loan of NGN1trillion naira from the CBN to fund the NGN819.5 billion 2022 Supplementary Budget which the legislators approved in December. The House of Representatives according to reports, approved the NGN1 trillion naira under pressure from joint House Committees on Finance, Banking and Currency; Aids, Loans and Debts Management in spite of the fact that the CBN had violated its own rules in respect of accumulation of unpaid loans!

IT WAS ALLEGED THAT A SUM OF USD150 MILLION DOLLARS BRIBE EXCHANGED HANDS ON THE FLOOR OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES TO EFFECT THE ILLICIT TRANSACTION! TRUE OR FALSE?

Section 38 of the CBN Act stipulates that "Ways and Means" advances must be refunded before another could be collected and that since the law was already breached the President's request should be denied!

GOING DOWN THE MEMORY LANE.

In our 490th Edition of the Zion B-BC Newsletter dated 1st January, 2023, and titled: "Nigeria's "Ways And Means" Advances Scheme Is The Volume of Water In A Basket!"; WE vehemently opposed the old General's plan to keep Nigeria and the coming generations in perpetual debt repayment bondage of 40 years because of his penchant for borrowing without generating internal revenues!

WE agreed with some Senators who faulted the unorthodox and very suspicious restructuring transaction and described it as unknown to the Nigerian law! We also urged NASS to step it down until lawmakers got more details and whether the expenditure complied with sections 80, 81, 83, 113 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended and Section 38 of the CBN Act!

BUHARI REQUESTED THAT NASS SHOULD APPROVE SECURITIZATION OF THE HUMONGOUS DEBT TO COVER A PERIOD OF 40 YEARS AND SIMULTANEOUSLY SUBMITTED THE 2022 SUPPLEMENTARY BUDGET ALONGSIDE THE NGN20.51 TRILLION 2023 APPROPRIATION BILL FOR CONSIDERATION!

From his first term inauguration in 2015, he ensured that he did not plough the so-called meager resources which he met on ground into Capital-Intensive Projects but focused on Concurrent Domestic Expenditures in respect of payment of salaries and allowances to an unproductive Civil Service and a retinue of Cabinet Ministers/Appointees!

THE FAULTY 1999 MILITARY PRESIDENTIAL CONSTITUTION AFFORDED PRESIDENT BUHARI EXECUTIVE POWERS TO SPEND FROM THE TREASURY SINGLE ACCOUNT (TSA), WITHOUT QUERY!

In spite of the fact that he junketed all over the world under the pretex of attracting investors who cannot be identified in EIGHT YEARS, Buhari made sure that he SQUANDERED all resources that accrued from CRUDE OIL - NIGERIA'S MAJOR FOREX EXCHANGE EARNER; & REGULARLY AWARDED CONTRACTS TO HIS FAVORITE CABINET MINISTERS AT THE ILLEGAL/UNCONSTITUTIONAL WEEKLY WEDNESDAY FEDERAL EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING!

He purchased 12 new A - 29 TUCANO JETS at USD$500 dollars under controversial circumstances, from the United States to tackle insecurity BUT IN EIGHT YEARS could neither defeat Boko Haram terrorism bandits, gunmen, mercenary Fulani Terrorists into Nigeria nor assuage insecurities!

HE is leaving behind OVER NGN77 TRILLION NAIRA DEBT AND AN EMPTY TREASURY while the TALAKAWAS CONTINUE TO WALLOW IN PENURY, POVERTY, INSECURITIES, DAILY PAINS AND SORROWS THROUGH PAINFUL/AGONIZING AND INCESSANT MURDERS IN THE HANDS OF FELLOW NIGERIANS AND FOREIGN MERCENARIES!

QUESTION:

What did Mr. Buhari use the printed paper currencies for?

ANSWER: To pay salaries of the Three Arms, to bail out STATES that are BROKE. To pay for all foreign/ local jamborees of the old General and his large Entourage. To pay for local and foreign Estacodes for Mr.President, all Civil Servants, Political Jobbers, Appointees, Special Assistants etc.!

HE BOASTED THAT HE WOULD BORROW TO THE LAST DAY IN OFFICE AND HAS SUCCEEDED TO CONVINCE THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TO APPROVE THE CONTROVERSIAL "WAYS AND MEANS" ADVANCES SCHEME!

Following are the consequences of the money printing and excessive borrowing of Mr. Buhari in the past EIGHT YEARS:

1) Hyper-inflation and cost of living which stands at two digits of 21.82% according to Consumer Price Index (CPI) since February 2023, is still climbing due to Naira Redesign Policy cash crunch!
2) Abject multi-dimensional poverty among 85% of the 220 million population!
3) Food inflation mostly among the down-trodden!
4) Hyper-inflation on goods and services - especially outrageous Electricity Bills which force Citizens to pay for Darkness on monthly basis without respite from the QUASI MILITARY/CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT OF A SENILE GENERAL!

A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY GOVERNMENT THROUGH REFERENDUM IS THE ANSWER TO THE MULTI-FACETED AND SELF-INFLICTED ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL WOES IN THIS COUNTRY!

GHANAIAN PRESIDENT PLEADED FOR BUHARI AT THE EXIT DOOR BOOK LAUNCH!

On Friday 19th May 2023, TWO BOOKS [ “State of Repair: How Muhammadu Buhari Tried To Change Nigeria For Good” – by Antony Goldman, and “The Legacy of Muhammadu Buhari” by Senator Abu Ibrahim], were launched in Abuja on behalf of President Buhari. At the helm of affairs was the Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Ado who was imported to advocate for POSTERITY’S FAIR JUDGMENT to Buhari and lend credence to the Hatchet Job of mal-administration inflicted on CITIZENS OF NIGERIA WHO ACCORDING TO THE 1999 FEDERAL REPUBLIC CONSTITUTION, POSSESS THE SOVEREIGNTY ON PAPER –during his two-term lack-luster presidency!
At the end of the charade, NGN500 billion naira was realized from purchases by FOUR Nigerian billionaires to distribute to WHO?
BUHARI COULD DECEIVE SOME OF THE PEOPLE FOR SOME OF THE TIME; BUT CANNOT DECEIVE ALL OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME!

INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION AND MALADMINISTRATION IS THE HALLMARK OF THE OLD GENERAL'S EIGHT-YEAR TENURE!

"Do not be deceived, God cannot be mocked, for whatever a man sows that he will also reap. For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life." (Gal..6:7-!

[WATCH OUT FOR A NIGERIAN PRIME MINISTER – NOT A PRESIDENT IN 2023!]


I am, yours sincerely, Dr. David B.A. Olufon, 08130669886, 08080243066. g-mail-dvdolufon@gmail.

Committed democrats have scored the two-term eight-year administration of retired Major General Muhammadu Buhari as a complete failure in view of total collapse in political/socio-economic management of the Nigerian Project traced to persistent insecurities which intensified and could neither be tamed nor defeated! Colossal damage to the psyche of the entire population due to a corruption-driven economy and very volatile inflation of food, goods and
services increased, enlarged and aggravated the sufferings of the downtrodden without ceasing!

BUT BUHARI HAD A FORE-KNOWLEDGE OF THE ENTIRE POLITICAL/ECONOMIC/ INSECURITIES SCENARIO OF THE COUNTRY AND BOASTED THAT HE WAS CAPABLE AND DETERMINED TO PROFFER PERMANENT SOLUTIONS AS A MESSIAH! He wasted no time to contest from 2003-2015 before he succeeded in his FOURTH attempt to become President of Nigeria. Following his eight-year abysmal failure, Nigerians can now remember that as a COUPIST Military Head of State from 31st December 1983 - 24th August 1985 whose tenure was short-lived, his DESPERATION was an ego contest between him and Olusegun Obasanjo who enjoyed dual status of military/democratic presidency!
BUT he disappointed over 200 million population of Nigerians and still has the impunity to allot himself a Pass Mark!

PROPAGANDA BOOKS PUBLICATION; FRENZIED COMMISSIONING OF CAPITAL PROJECTS TO COVER-UP FOR A PSEUDO DEMOCRAT!

1) Two Books written by Buhari's Apologists - an Expatriate Journalist and a Nigerian Senator debuted in Abuja Friday 19th May 2023, as the first step in DAMAGE CONTROL PROCESS!
2) The out-going President conspicuously took the centre stage at the commissioning of DANGOTE REFINERY - a private enterprise on 22nd May 2023, in Lekki. When in full operation it is expected to have the capacity to process about 650,000 barrels by day of crude oil making it the largest single train refinery in the world angle the old general is taking the glory for this achievement which a fellow Nigerian embarked upon since 1978 as a young man full of vision!
3) The President on Tuesday 23rd May 2023 commissioned via Zoom, the SECOND Niger 1.6 KM BRIDGE linking Asaba, Delta State with Onitsha, Anambra State and other Southeast States. The bridge was named Muhammadu BUHARI BRIDGE although he claimed he was not privy to that decision!
4) HE CLAIMED THAT THE BRIDGE AND ANOTHER PROJECT BEING COMMISSIONED SYMBOLISED HIS ADMINISTRATION'S SHARP FOCUS ON DELIVERING PROSPERITY ACROSS THE COUNTRY! True or False?

Presidential Zoom Speech At The Bridge Commission.

"I am honoured to hand over this bridge and other projects for public use. The bridge will reduce travel time and promote economic activities in the South East, South South and other parts of the country.
"Those crossing the old Niger Bridge will no longer experience gridlock as it will help to improve the socio-economic activities of the South East.
"IN EIGHT YEARS, I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT WE HAVE DEVELOPED NIGERIA'S STOCK OF INFRASTRUCTURE OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT FROM ABOUT 20% TO OVER 40% AND THAT IS NOT A SMALL UNDERTAKING."
Minister of Works, Babatunde Fashola, who also joined the event via zoom said:
"This is a clear case of how infrastructure supports the people. It will take only a few minutes to cross the bridge of approximately 1.5 km travel time is reduced by 50%.
"By this bridge various properties in the area have appreciated."
Whatever Buhari and his Kitchen Cabinet may claim as success of Eight Years of a WOEFUL ADMINISTRATION IS BUT A DROP IN THE OCEAN compared to the myriads of persistent insecurities that have pervaded the entire Nation from his STARTING TO FINISHING POINTS!

According to his statement, they were UNDERTAKERS NOT DEVELOPERS!!!

EXCERPTS OF AN ARTICLE PUBLISHED BY FOREIGN JOURNALIST TITLED "SERVICE CHIEFS AND HEADS," ANTONY GOLDMAN ON 17TH JULY 2015, WHEN MUHAMMADU BUHARI EVENTUALLY CLINCHED THE PRESIDENTIAL SLOT!

"When Muhammadu Buhari swept to power in March’s historic elections, it was on a platform that promised change, security and an end to corruption. In the aftermath of his victory, he met quickly with the leaders of neighboring states and reached out to leaders of the G7, seeking their support and promising new momentum to end the Islamist terror that has gripped many parts of North East Nigeria since 2010. "No part of the country voted more emphatically for Buhari than the North East, where he trounced the incumbent, Goodluck Jonathan, by a margin of nine to one. Where Jonathan was seen as a weak, indecisive and remote figure, the North East saw in Buhari a former soldier pained by the scale of the violence and the distortion of the faith from which Boko Haram insurgents claimed inspiration. "Since Buhari’s inauguration on 29 May, more than a thousand civilians have been killed in a wave of suicide bombing and ambushes. In a particularly bloody Ramadan that appeared to suggest some level of co-ordination with allies in Islamic State, attacks have taken place as far south as Jos and in Zaria and Kano, to the west of the core areas of the insurgency.

"The setbacks appeared to represent a loss of momentum on the part of the Nigerian armed forces and allies from Chad, Cameroon and Niger, who in a three-month offensive launched in February this year helped recapture many of the towns and villages taken by Boko Haram across Borno and Adamawa states in its lightning campaign in late 2014. "Even supporters of Buhari expressed concern about apparent delays in filling key appointments. There were reports of a dip in morale because of the failure to replace service chiefs and heads of other security agencies. Troops remained in barracks as Boko Haram was reported to be regrouping in the Sambisa forest and other remote parts of the North East."

BUHARI HAS FAILED TO FIX NIGERIA!

After eight years Antony has written a "Nunc Dimittus" titled “STATE OF REPAIR : HOW MUHAMMADU BUHARI TRIED TO CHANGE NIGERIA FOR GOOD", to buttress the CONCENSUS that; BUHARI WAS NOT THE EXPECTED MESSIAH AFTER ALL! QED!

According to ex-General Obasanjo, Buhari had a hidden agenda to "ISLAMIZE AND FULANIZE NIGERIA"
BUHARI WOULD BE REMEMBERED FOR THE FOLLOWING DISCREPANCIES:
1) POLLUTING NIGERIAN ROADS WITH COWS, AND COW DUNGS BY CLAIMING EXISTENCE OF OLD CATTLE GRAZING ROUTES IN NIGERIA & REJECTING MODERN RANCHING!
2) FAILING TO DEFEAT BOKO HARAM, TERRORISTS WHO STILL OCCUPY SEVERAL LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS IN THE NORTH EAST/WEST GEO-POLITICAL ZONES CONTRARY TO HIS MANIFESTO PROMISES!
3) UNABLE TO STOP KIDNAPPING, GUNMEN/BANDITRY ATTACKS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY!
4) TURNED BLIND EYE TO INCESSANT ARMED FULANI HERDSMEN/FARMERS BLOODY CLASHES WHICH WAS COMMONPLACE AND ALWAYS CLAIMED INNOCENT LIVES!
5) UNABLE TO STOP BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS WHO UNLEASHED MAYHEM ON STRATEGIC GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS/INFRASTRUCTURES AND THREATENED TO KIDNAP HIM FROM THE STATE HOUSE ASO VILLA!
6) STUBBORNLY REFUSED TO REPLACE TIRED SERVICE CHIEFS IN SPITE OF PUBLIC OUTCRY OF ALMOST TWO YEARS!
7) ALL OF THE FOLLOWING NEGATIVE INTERNATIONAL RATINGS AND INDEXES IN RESPECT OF NIGERIA BEING: a. POVERTY CAPITAL, b. MOST-ADDICTED BORROWER & CORRUPT COUNTRY, c. MOST INSECURE COUNTRY, d. DIRTIEST COUNTRY, d. COUNTRY WITH THE HIGHEST RATE OF CHILD/MATERNAL MORTALITY, e. COUNTRY WITH THE HIGHEST RATE OF OUT-OF-SCHOOL CHILDREN, f. COUNTRY WITH THE MOST CORRUPT CIVIL SERVICE AND LEGISLATORS ETC; STUCK LIKE A CANCEROUS PLAGUE ON THE NATION THROUGHOUT GENERAL BUHARI'S TENURE!

But he was complacent and complicit for the reasons of his believe in FEUDALISM, OLIGARCHY, NEPOTISM, TRIBALISM, RELIGIOUS BIGOTRY, AND TRADITION TO THE CORE! But he now craves to be celebrated as a "REFORMED DEMOCRAT" at his Departure Lounge! "Tufiakwa!"
THIS IS THE WORST INSULT TO THE SENSIBILITIES OF NIGERIANS! IT IS ANATHEMA!

WITH PATIENCE WATER WILL COOK THE STONE!

Patriotic Nigerians and true Democrats should wait patiently for 'Bola Ahmed Tinubu who will take over the mantle of leadership of Nigeria from Monday 29th May 2023 to carry out the mandate of Nigerians for A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT AND ALSO GOD'S COMMANDMENT WHICH MUST BE ACTUALIZED WITHIN HIS SIX MONTHS IN OFFICE! At the close of the Regimental Dinner in honour of President Muhammadu Buhari coupled with the commissioning of the Armed Forces of Nigeria Officers Mess on 23rd May 2023 the old General in his closing speech said he could hardly wait for the remaining SIX DAYS TO GET OUT OF OFFICE!
With the EXIT of retired Major General Buhari, the ERA OF MILITARY PRESIDENCY is over for good in Nigeria!

IT'S TIME FOR A FRESH BREATH OF AIR!
"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to all people." ( Proverbs 14:34).

Downtrodden Nigerians can hardly wait for Monday 29th May 2023 to bid good riddance to the last of all the military merchants who have overstayed their welcome! For 57 years (1966-2023), they practically turned the country into a beggar nation through mismanagement of all natural endowments and deliberate failure to develop Human Capital into full potential!

According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural organization(UNESCO) Statistics, OUT-OF-SCHOOL- CHILDREN IN NIGERIA has hit the 20 million mark in the first quarter; January-March!
Literacy figure in Nigeria according to the Nigeria Bureau of Statistics is 77.62% of the population as at 2021. The figure grew by 13.9% between 2010-2021 and at the rate of 0.13% year-on-year since then!
With the advantage and benefit of hindsight it could be articulately posited that the majority of Nigerian Electorate are illiterate because in 63 years of Independence, budgetary allocation for education is only SIX PER CENT in spite of UNESCO recommendation of 15-20 per cent of annual budgetary allocation of developing countries!

And that accounts for the quadrennial election of the same political marauders who delight to trample upon the illiterate Citizens' inalienable/fundamental rights having discarded Khakis for "Babanrigas"! In 1999 the brainwashed electorate voted en-masse for retired Soldier, Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo instead of Chief Olu Falae, a tested, erudite and accomplished technocrat!

And the same crowd of nincompoops voted for his surrogate, Late Umaru Yar 'Adua whom he imposed and threatened that Nigeria would be conflagrated with fire and brimstones if the 2007 General Elections which he tagged as "do or die", did not favor his Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)!

Obasanjo bulldozed his way with military precision in that election which threw up Yar'adua and his deputy Goodluck Jonathan who eventually handed over in 2015 to another old military General in the person of the incumbent Muhammadu Buhari instead of a diligent civilian who would have fulfilled democratic norms in a socio-cultural environment.

AND BUHARI DECIDED TO PERPETUATE HIS CHIEF SECURITY OFFICERS IN OFFICE CONTRARY TO THE CONSTITUTION!

According to official reports, the incumbent Inspector general of police Usman Baba Ali who attained the age of 35 years in service on 1st March 2023 had been granted an extension of tenure of office for 3 years by Major General Muhammadu Buhari.
The retired General is said to be acting on Section 7 (6) of the Police Act 2020, which states that, "The person appointed to the office of the Inspector General of Police shall hold office for 4 years,"

But this Section must not be read in isolation of Section 18 ( which states that, "Every police officer shall on recruitment or appointment serve in the Nigeria Police Force for a period of 35 years or until he attains the age of 60 years whichever is earlier."Alkali clocked 35 years in service on 1st March 2023, but the President in his usual brazen executive impunity DECREED THAT HE SHOULD REMAIN IN OFFICE TILL MARCH 2026!

He vetoed the Police Act in 2021 when he extended the tenure of a retired Inspector-General of Police Ibrahim Adamu, who attained the mandatory retirement service period of 35 years on 1st February 2021 for three months!

It took almost two years of public outcry to force President Buhari to retire his service chiefs who were unable to restore peace to Nigeria when they should have retired 18 months earlier from the service in spite of the fact that the citizens suffered degradation and insecurity through atrocities by Boko Haram terrorists in all those periods of his administration from 2015-2021!
Also on the list of those whose tenures were extended included an Accountant-General of the Federation a Commandant-General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Service Corps (NSCDC), Comptroller-General, Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), and a host of others!

It is also on record that ex-President Obasanjo extended the tenure of an Inspector General of Police Sunday Ehindero for ONE YEAR to achieve a THIRD TERM ELONGATION of his presidency which was vehemently resisted by the masses and died a natural death! In THREE weeks from the date of this publication (29th May 2023), Buhari would have bowed out of office in shame because he woefully failed to function as the expected Messiah just like Obasanjo!

THE TWO OLD GENERALS HAVE COMPOUNDED THE DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATIONS THROUGH SHEER GREED!

During the military interregnum of almost 30 years the TWO GENERALS served as Heads of State at different times and yet they were still bent on ruining the Nigerian nation which they claim to love and would defend with their blood through exhibition of mindless display of IMPUNITY at their highly-exalted level of office! Nigerians have been deceived enough it is better for all the soldiers in government to resign and allow civil administration to foster through THE PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT WHICH BUHARI TRUNCATED when he overthrew the government of Shehu Shagari in a military coup December 1984!

Enough is enough! Nigerians have been worse off because of the military from Independence - 1960 to 2023!
Not less than 85 million Nigerians collected their Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs), to fulfill their franchise during the last 2023 General Elections and from all indications that had been the trend since 1999 to date! They always carried the day in the game of numbers!

BUT had they ever voted for the right reasons or for the right candidates? NO!
With that kind of attitude access to government and governance at all levels have been denied to competent Nigerians just as the old soldier has thrown up his surrogates; ‘‘Mr Emilokan’’ Ahmed Bola Tinubu!!!

149 MILLION BARRELS MISSING CRUDE OIL: INSTITUTIONAL IMPUNITY MUST DIE WITH THE OLD GENERAL!

The Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP), is determined to resist any attempt by the outgoing old Soldier Muhammadu Buhari to sweep under the carpet the allegations in respect of 149 million barrels of crude oil allegedly missing or face legal action.

An audited and documented 2019 Report by the Auditor-General of the Federation and the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (NEITI), is yet to receive official attention for investigation and prosecution in respect of the missing crude oil in spite of the humongous figure! Already the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister for Justice was already dismissing the allegation by claiming that no crude oil was missing. And whereas, according to that 2019 Audited Report, over 107 million barrels of crude oil were lifted as domestic crude without any document or tracing.

NEITI also reported missing 42.25 million barrels of crude oil in the same year. NEITI is urging retired General Buhari to realise that public interest in ensuring justice and accountability for this very serious allegations must be religiously followed especially before he bolts to Daura, Katsina on the 29th May 2023!

QUOTES FROM SERAP'S CORRESPONDENCE WITH BUHARI.

" SERAP notes that you have repeatedly promised to combat CORRUPTION. As you go into the final weeks of your term of office the missing crude oil allegations present yet another opportunity to demonstrate your commitment and to uphold your oath of office both as President and Minister of Petroleum Resources.
"As the President and substantive Minister of Petroleum resources, you and your government should prioritise getting to the bottom of these allegations and use the remainder of your time of reference of office to ensure justice and accountability for the serious crimes against the Nigerian people.

"Investigating the allegations and naming and shaming and prosecuting those suspected to be responsible for the missing crude oil will serve the public interest and end the IMPUNITY OF PERPETRATORS.

"We will be grateful if the recommended measures are taken within 7 days of the receipt and or publication of this letter. If we have not heard from you by then SERAP shall take all appropriate legal actions to compel you and your government to comply with our request in the public interest
"The allegations by both the Auditor-General and NEITI are different from the a whistleblower claims that 48 million barrels of Bonny Light crude oil allegedly sold in China in 2015 are missing or unaccounted for.
“The reports by the Auditor-General and NEITI suggest a grave violation of the Nigerian constitution 1999 (as amended) and the country's anti-corruption laws and international obligations as well as public trust.
"These damning revelations also suggest your government is failing to prevent and combat the plundering of Nigeria's wealth and natural resources; name and bring suspected perpetrators to account and recover any proceeds of crime."

A House of Representatives Ad-Hoc
Committee is reported to be probing the allegations.

CONCLUDING WITH BISHOP MATTHEW KUKAH'S QUOTES:

1) Anyone who wants to govern Nigeria must be prepared to cope with our anger.
2) The only freedom people confer on you is the freedom to agree with them.
3) Some Nigerians think being in office means being in power. Power is about influence.
4) Power and leadership is getting people to do what they don't want to do, but doing it happily.
5) You can be in office and not be in power. You can be in power and not be in office.
6) Every unhappy family is unhappy differently but they all have one thing in common, they are unhappy.
7) IF YOU ARE GENUINELY READY TO SERVE WHY MUST IT BE AT ALL COST? THESE PROBLEMS COME FROM OUR GREED.
Anything can go wrong where we are now. We are at tipping point.
9) For the first time every Nigerian is very angry although the reason may be very different.
10) If we fought the CIVIL WAR 40 years ago and the reasons why we fought still persist, then there is a problem.

At different fora, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese, Most Reverend Matthew Hassan Kukah always appealed to Nigerians to make up their minds to develop good attitudes to promote good governance and peaceful co-existence.
Bishop Kukah who spoke on the Topic: "THE WEAKNESS OF POWER" believed that although the country faced challenges, positive change of attitude, peace, unity and good governance would improve Nigeria.

He noted that many Nigerians were not satisfied with the situation of things in the country but cautioned that anger, hatred and violence would not tackle the challenges.
He said Nigerians have reasons to be angry but they should remember that a lot of people have sacrificed their lives for the country.
He appealed to Nigerians to love one another irrespective of their ethnic, religious and political leanings, adding "Our love for Nigeria should not die. We will redeem this country. This is our country let us pray for our nation."
Bishop Kukah is notable for SPEAKING THE TRUTH FOR WHICH WE ON THIS PLATFORM HAVE BEEN HAVE BEEN CHIEF ADVOCATES IN THE PAST 10 YEARS.

Any dividends to the Citizens? Would those who aspire for leadership positions
exhibit the right attitudes of that will inspire the citizens to work together with them in unity? We need upright leaders whose patriotism will excel inordinate ambition and will be ready to serve, not to be served and also not to explore whatever weaknesses they have discovered in our Constitution and all the various laws and regulations"

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

This article will be incomplete without the following EVERGREEN QUOTE from Emeritus Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah on “THE PARADOX OF THE NIGERIAN SOCIETY," in the month of May, 2016
as follows:
"Nigerian educational systems have surprising outcomes. The smartest students pass with First Class and get admitted to Medical and Engineering schools. The Second Class students get MBAs and LLBs to manage the First Class students. The Third Class students enter politics and rule both the First and Second Class students. The Failures enter the Underworld of crime and control the politicians and businesses. And best of all, those who did not attend school become Prophets and Imams and everyone follows them. What a paradox of life. This can only happen in Nigeria where corruption is other of the day."

Always remember that God can never be deceived, "whatsoever a man soweth that he shall reap!"

That Nigeria has remained an indivisible nascent democracy in eight years of deliberate and well-calculated military assault on the good and resilient people of
the geographic contraption in diversity by a very desperate but tired old soldier can only be attributed to divine providence!

The atrocities of crimes/criminalities of eight years filled with uncertainties and trepidations in respect of the horrible insecurity regime which was unleashed on the country from 2015-2023 can be best described as a combination of the WORLD WAR I and II combined except that the HIROSHIMA ATOMIC BOMB WAS NOT DETONATED!

Conservative estimate of human casualties without exaggeration CANNOT BE LESS THAN A MILLION PEOPLE during Major General Buhari's inglorious eight-year tenure dominated by various acts of brigandage by Fulani Herdsmen, Boko Haram Terrorists, Bandits, Gunmen, IPOB & ESN TERRORISTS etc, due to incapacitation of the Commander-in-Chief's security forces which were overstretched and overwhelmed by the sheer audacity and superior fire power of the criminals!

Nigerians expected that a desperate Muhammadu Buhari, who attempted to be a democratic President of Nigeria on three occasions from 2003-2011 until he succeeded on the 4th occasion in 2015, would be very dedicated to serve the nation with all his track record experiences in governance as far back as when he was military Commissioner of Petroleum Resources as far back as1976!

But from all indications the old soldier never loved his country as he pretended to be. He is nepotistic, tribalistic, high-handed, domineering, clannish, a religious bigot, feudalistic, impunistic etc, ensured that he surrounded himself with people from his tribal enclave - especially the FULANI CLAN!

When retired General Olusegun Obasanjo alleged that Buhari had an agenda to FULANIZE and ISLAMIZE Nigeria We disagreed with him and told the world that Buhari was a TRUE DEMOCRAT - We have been proved wrong!

TESTIMONY OF 'AHMED 'BOLA TINUBU IN RESPECT OF BUHARI'S THREE LOST ELECTIONS!

"Buhari wept bitterly on national television after the third loss and swore not to contest again but I encouraged him to try the FOURTH time."
It is important to highlight the fact that the three occasions when Buhari lost elections, colossal and collateral damages which led to heavy human casualties in their hundreds, malicious destruction of government strategic installations disrupted economic activities especially in the Northern parts of Nigeria where he is idolized as a hero because of his DELIBERATE INCITEFUL SPEECHES!

Buhari always claimed that he was RIGGED OUT and instructed his supporters to patiently wait to witness the counting, collation and announcement of results.
In his words; "Because you haven't done this in all past cases you allowed them to turn your victories into defeats!"

Buhari lost the election for the third time in 2011 and within three days, violence which erupted in the Northern part of the country recorded about 700 deaths and thousands of innocent people displaced in the Northeast, Northwest and North Central parts of the country!

Following Tinubu's encouragement to try his luck once again, Buhari who has no respect for the SANCTITY OF HUMAN LIVES THREATENED THAT IF THE 2015 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WAS NOT TRANSPARENT THAT "THE DOG AND THE BABOON WILL ALL BE SOAKED IN BLOOD!"

Everyone knows that government is a continuum and whoever aspires to occupy political offices must be genuine patriot spiritually, mentally, academically, and physically prepared for such positions of authority and pursue existing socio-economic policies of previous administrations with patriotism.

To serve and not to steal, to gather and not to scatter, to preserve and not to embezzle, to enrich and not to impoverish his constituency which is the entire nation of Nigeria, to lift and not to cast down the citizens ambitions and aspirations, to deliver dividends of democracy to the masses and not to enrich a few through inordinate ambitions through acts of NEPOTISM; and to remember at all times that they would be accountable and be judged by the Almighty God our Creator and posterity!

PRESIDENT BUHARI IS AN ADDICTED SOLDIER!

Soldiering had been Buhari's addiction from youth and when he successfully became military Head of State at 42 years he pretended to be possessed with the zeal of patriotism for rescuing the downtrodden during his short-lived 23- month tenure!

The aborted appointment vexed him sore and he purported in his heart to return some day to fulfill his inordinate ambition as a civilian President and on assumption of office in 2015 declared that he "would be for nobody, but for everybody"!

From that onset at 72 years, he left no one in doubt that he had hidden agendas because he carelessly allowed the opposition to perpetrate his administration due to nonchalant attitude to his constitutional responsibility in Chapter II Sections 13,14, (1-4) which emphasized that the security and welfare of the citizens are the primary objective of government.

BUHARI NOW SAYS, "I AM SORRY"! TO WHO?

There is virtually no family in the last eight years of Buhari's presidency that did not lose a family member to the cold hands of untimely and avoidable deaths!
Outside of the official condolences, has the soldierman ever bore the pains of the thousand of thousands of parents who still agonize over their children who have been mercilessly killed/kidnapped without respite from the custodians of their security and welfare?
NO NO NO! The following are the LACK - LUSTER CROCODILE TEARS OF THE lamenting 80-year-old General who knew from the onset that he was not up to the task:

"Those who that think that I have hurt them so much, please pardon me". The apology was made during his last Sallah Homage Reception at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Friday, 21st April, ,2023.

“So please whoever says I have done wrong to them, we are all humans. There is no doubt I hurt some people and I wish you will pardon me; and those who think that I have hurt them so much please pardon me."
But majority of Nigerians would have none of his antics especially when he claimed that the 2023 General Election was transparent, free, fair and credible and also claimed the outcome as his LEGACY!

THIS IS THE SECOND APOLOGY OF BUHARI TO NIGERIANS IN EIGHT YEARS!

During the Easter period in the year 2016 President Buhari apologized to Nigerians for dissolving University Governing Councils along with the Boards of Parastatals Agencies with the following words:
"We gave a blanket order which we had to rescind when we said all Boards were suspended or dissolved.
"We had to go back and lick our vomit.....
"So there is nothing wrong in saying sorry so we said sorry..... And allowed all these universities to continue with their councils
"So please try to bear with us as we reflect on where we found ourselves."

On the much-criticized issue of globe-trotting, President Buhari explained as follows: "Sometime you need to present your case on personal basis to your economic colleagues and neighbours because nothing is better than personal touch and I believe we are learning a lot and eventually the nation will realise the dividends of those strategic trips"

Nigerians could hardly wait for Buhari to pack bag and baggage and get out of the Villa so that the Citizens could enjoy fresh breath of air - especially if ICC OPERATIVES ARE ON GROUND TO ESCORT HIM TO THE HAGUE, TO GIVE ACCOUNT OF HIS EIGHT-YEAR STEWARDSHIP!

SECRET ASSENT TO 1999 CONSTITUTION AMENDMENTS BY GENERAL BUHARI IS A HOOD WINK!
[Allegory of Patched Tubes And Tubeless Tyres.]


"Majority of automobile tyres on Nigerian roads are tubeless. Gone are the days of roadside tubes patching. The world has moved on through scientific inventions that have made it possible to drive electric vehicles possibly with electrified tires in this present era of modern civilization.

"The Military-crafted Nigerian 1999 Constitution represents the Tyre Tube with several PATCHES and the Legislators, the roadside VULCANIZERS who were ever ready to patch the controversial and obnoxious document every four-year duty tour because it is full of punctures which are convenient for both the Executive and the Legislature to keep patching since the exercises provided extra billions of naira in illicit transactions to execute!"


PAST PRESIDENTS REJECTED THE PATCHED TYRE TUBES!

Consecutive Presidents from 1999-2023 refused assent; rejected all amendments and described them as self-seeking and inordinate!
But very recently, and in the heat of the furore that greeted outcome of the February-March 2023 version of Nigeria's General Elections, the old soldier Major General President Muhammadu Buhari, stealthily and quietly signed 16 out of 35 Bills forwarded by the 9th National Assembly (NASS), in January 2023, at his Departure Lounge, to hoodwink the gullible and the uneducated but ended up to further damage his battered image!

The signed bills according to newspaper reports devolved more powers to the States in view of incessant agitation for devolution of power from the federal to the federating States to address true fiscal federalism.

According to the requirements of Section 9 of the Military Constitution at least 24 State Assemblies were required to approve the Bills before they could be forwarded to Mr. President for assent.

TYRE-PATCHING IS COSMETIC, WASTEFUL AND ARCHAIC - A BRAND NEW UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION IN THE FORM OF A TUBELESS TYRE, IS THE PANACEA TO POPULAR AND STABLE GOVERNMENT!

And Whereas the major issues in contention and which had generated violent agitations since the 1966 Military coup de tat or rather since the end of the Biafra War had always been THE UNITARY form of government which cowed Federating States to become subjugated to the Central government as in the vertical, unitary military form of government!
And which was further foisted through the 1999 bogus military constitution's Exclusive Legislative List that conferred absolute power and authority to the Federal Government with 68 items to subject the 36 States to permanent and abject poverty; and Whereas the Confederating States "lay the golden eggs"!

On Thursday 25th January 2018, KADUNA STATE GOVERNOR-LED COMMITTEE ON TRUE FEDERALISM submitted its very detailed Report to President Buhari IN THE SPIRIT OF DEVOLUTION OF POWER from the Centre to the States as follows:
1) RESOURCE CONTROL by all States.
2) STATE POLICE and STATE PRISONS to be run by all states of the federation in respect of certain crimes.
3) INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY which should be enjoyed if such candidate was not a member of any political party, SIX MONTHS prior to any election.
4) CONSTITUTIONAL AUTONOMY for the 774 LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS to be free to legislate freely and create any number of councils as they so desired.
5) Foods, Drugs and Poison to be moved to the Concurrent List so that States could constitutionally legislate on those items while narcotics, psychotropic substances will remain on the Exclusive List.
6) Labor issues, trade unions, industrial relations, safety/welfare, disputes/ minimum wages/industrial arbitration should be handled by both States/Federal Government who should enjoy independent legislation.
7) Mines and minerals, oil fields and mining, geological surveys and natural gas that are ONSHORE should be vested in all states of the federation while all OFFSHORE shall remain vested in the government of the federation.
Registration of Business Names should be on the Concurrent List for companies to choose their areas of operations; State or nationwide.
9) Collection of Stamp Duties was also recommended to be moved to the Concurrent List for the States to collect duties from individual and small businesses while Federal Government collects duties from limited liability companies.
10) ISSUE OF CITIZENSHIP, LOCAL GOVERNMENT OR STATE OF ORIGIN which had hitherto been discriminatory should be replaced with STATE OF RESIDENCE through a proposed amendment to the FEDERAL CHARACTER COMMISSION ACT to allow people domicile in a place to be considered as INDIGENES of such place.


It is very obvious that Legislators of NASS took a queue from Governor El-Rufai's Committee's Report to arrive at the deductions which were eventually forwarded the States for CONCURRENCE, but unfortunately the fundamental objectives have been defeated through the CLANDESTINE approval of Bills which would FOREVER be difficult to implement!

A. For instance, how would the Fifth Alteration (No.17) Bill which sought to alter the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 to allow States to generate, transmit, and distribute electricity in areas covered by the national grid; and for related matters be IMPLEMENTED WHEN such States could not source funds even to pay the monthly NGN30,000 naira national minimum wage for their workers; could not establish modern health/facilities or institutions, good roads, qualitative education, decent accommodations etc, for its population?
B. How would Federating States that lack modern scientific and ICT infrastructures to handle naturally-endowed agrarian/pastoral opportunities, generate sufficient INTERNAL REVENUES to supply ELECTRICITY within their territorial boundaries?
C. Can cash-strapped States establish individual CASH-INTENSIVE RAILWAY SYSTEMS.

The Fifth Alterations Nos.1-5 assented to by President Buhari dealt with CHANGE OF NAMES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREAS;

No.8 sought to regulate the first session and inauguration of members-elect of the National and State Houses of Assembly; No. 9. sought to delete the reference to the provisions of the criminal code, penal code, criminal procedure act, criminal procedure code, or evidence act while No. 10 sought to exclude period of intervening events in the computation of time for determining pre-election petitions, election petitions and appeals while No.12 sought to provide for the post-call qualification of the Secretary of National Judicial Council;

No.15 sought to delete the item "prisons" in the Exclusive Legislative List and re-designate it as "Correctional Services" in the Concurrent Legislative List while No.16 sought to move the item "railways" from the Exclusive Legislative Session List to the Concurrent Legislative list and for related matters!

Bill No. 23 required the President and Governors to submit the names of persons nominated as Ministers or Commissioners within sixty days of taking the oath of office for confirmation by the Senate or State Houses of Assembly while No. 32 sought to correct the error in the definition of the boundary of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Andy Bill No. 34 required government to direct his policy towards ensuring the right to food and food security in Nigeria and for related matters etc, etc.

GOVERNOR NASRI EL RUFAI'S COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION IS A PROTOTYPE OF NECESSARY INGREDIENTS FOR A UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY CONSTITUTION!

Retired Major General Buhari did not approve the request of the masses of the CITIZENS OF NIGERIA FOR (A) RESOURCE CONTROL, (B) STATE POLICE, (3) INDEPENDENT CANDIDACY, (4) MINES AND MINERALS, OIL FIELDS AND MINING, GEOLOGICAL SURVEYS AND NATURAL GAS THAT ARE ON SHORE TO BE VESTED IN ALL STATES OF THE FEDERATION; because he has never been a REFORMED DEMOCRAT AS CLAIMED IN SEVERAL INTERVIEWS!

Nigeria needs a fresh air of freedom from feudalism, oligarchy, nepotism, tribalism and despotism!
In eight years of martial administration Buhari has no legacy to bequeath to Nigerians!
As soon as 'Bola Tinubu comes on board, it behoves on him to put into motion the establishment of a UNICAMERAL PARLIAMENTARY SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT THROUGH REFERENDUM WITHIN SIX MONTHS ACCORDING TO DIVINE APPOINTMENT!

Nigerians deserve peace, tranquility, joy, happiness, security of their lives and property in a country which is their ancestral home and nobody must deny them of their inalienable rights.
