Buhari didn’t steal PTF fund says Obasanjo

-
ABEOKUTA – Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Tuesday, said the report of the probe panel he set up when he held sway as the country’s president did not indict the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Gen . Muhammadu Buhari of corruption during his tenure as the Petroleum Trust Fund boss. Obasanjo however, said the probe panel discovered that, the Buhari-led PTF was inconsistent in its policies, saying other probe attempts on the activities of the former Head of state ‘was immaterial’. The former President stated this while paying host to Buhari who visited him at his hilltop residence in Abeokuta before his campaign rally at the MKO Abiola Stadium in Abeokuta. Buhari was accompanied by his running mate, Prof Yemi Osinbajo, the party national Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, national leader of the party and former governor of Lagos, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, former Chairman of the party, Chief Bisi Akande, former Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party, Bernabas Gemade; former governor of Osun state, Olagunsoye Oyinlola, former governor of Ekiti state, Segun Oni and the host governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosu. - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/01/obasanjo-clears-buhari-ptf-alleged-fraud/#sthash.smTPl2Fb.dpuf

Between GTB and Innoson, who is playing on public intelligence?

-
Image
By Abdulrazaq O Hamzat Recall that yesterday, The Chairman of Innoson Motors, Innocent Chukwuma, through a statement issued by Cornel Osigwe, Innoson Group’s head of corporate communications, claimed that it has obtained a judgement against Guarantee Trust Bank (GTB) at the Supreme Court. The statement claimed that the apex court ordered the management of GTB to pay Chukwuma a sum of N12 billion within 14 days, after it struck out the motion for stay of execution of the Enugu court of appeal division’s order that GT Bank pays N6 billion into an interest yielding account. However, GTB had countered the claim, saying there was no any judgement like that. In a statement issued by Erhi Obebeduo, GTB Secretary urged the public to disregard what it termed as false, mischievous and malicious statements circulating in the news and social media in respect of a purported directive by the Supreme Court of Nigeria to the Bank to make payments to one of its debtor Customers. ‘’The Bank...

Okonjo-Iweala and Aso Villa Prayer Warriors By Simbo Olorunfemi

I do not know what Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala set out to achieve with her book,‘Fighting Corruption is Dangerous: The Story Behind the Headlines’ but if it is to help repair the damage done to her image on account of her last stint in public service, I doubt that some of the excerpts from the book in the public domain will help in that regard. Her own account: "I was privileged that part of my daily routine was to join the President and his family and his few close friends in Christian fellowship and morning prayers in the Residential Complex of the Villa. It was a way to gain strength for each difficult day. The prayer normally began at 6am so by 5:45am every day..." Prayer is the master-key, someone sings. But the Minister of Finance having to be a part of daily routine of prayers with the President at 6 a.m? Was that really about the prayer or a yearning to be a part of a kitchen cabinet, masquerading as prayer warriors? Madam had to be in a prayer session with the...

MrRights present 25 points extracted from an interview by ANN presidential aspirants, Olawepo Hashim • The country we want to build is the country where your regional descent should not define you politically. • I’m completely a cosmopolitan person and we have a lot of Nigerians having dual citizenship. I don’t have dual citizenship. I have only the Nigerian passport. I’ve had the opportunity of taking citizenship of other countries but I had never done that. • What I’m saying is that you have people who were born abroad who could even contest to become British Prime Minister. So, why should that be a big issue in Nigeria? • The Nigeria of our dream is the Nigeria where any Nigerian can get up from anywhere and contest for public office. • I was just talking about Sir. Kashim Ibrahim running election in Benue – a Borno man in a predominantly Christian state, a Muslim and he was elected into the Northern Assembly. • You talk about Zik of Africa who was elected into the Western ...

Few days ago, American hip hop rapper, Kanye West challenged the world to love everyone irrespective of past disagreement. The legendary music genius wrote on his twitter page,’’ I've got a new challenge for everyone today. Pick somebody that you had an argument with that you think you hate maybe even someone you haven't spoken to in years and contact that person and tell them, ‘’I love you’’. While the mainstream media and analysts have concentrated their arguments on whether or not it is proper for Mr. West to declare that he loves U.S President Donald Trump, what is not being talked about is the fact that, many of Mr West followers had taken the challenge to heart and have started contacting people they had problems with in the past or those they have not contacted in years, texting them ''i love you''. Some people who carried out the challenge reported the responses they got and it is very interesting. An entertainment news site, nme.com compiled at...
