Akeredolu distances self from online scams, vows to prosecute perpetrators The All Progressives Congress (APC) has raised an alarm over a purported national membership registration website on trending on social media. In a statement by its Acting National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, it said the website: apcregistration.com was unauthorized, describing it as a scam aimed at defrauding millions of its supporters in the country. It declared that the fake website was sponsored by one of the opposition political parties in its desperate plot to harvest APC’s members ahead of the 2019 general elections.

I have read the recent transmissions by Senator Bukola Saraki directed at my Igbo tribe. I have deliberately kept mum on this as I had earlier resolved to speak less on Igbos as regards the 2019 Elections and 2023 Presidency having said quite a bit. However seeing as some of my brethren have swallowed the cheap bait, I will chip this in just to keep the reality before us, at least for posterity sake. Truth is bitter but it's still the best medicine. My people say; 'He who does not remember where the rain started beating him, will not remember where it stopped'. REWIND TO 2014. A new National Party was being conceived. Political Parties, political players, and Regions were being wooed to the new alliance. 'We' Igbos (read South East) vehemently refused to touch it even with a long pole. We packaged, sold to ourselves and bought the baseless propaganda that it was an Islamic alliance that would birth an "Islamic" and "Hausa" Party. Simply ...

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has again called on Dr Bukola Saraki to resign his position as the President of the Senate. In a statement on Wednesday by the party’s Acting National Publicity Secretary, Yekini Nabena, the APC claimed that the Senate President lacked the moral ground to retain the position after defecting to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). “We reiterate our call for the Senate President to resign from the position immediately as he no longer has the moral and legitimate ground to occupy that position as a member of the minority PDP. “Going by the popular axiom, the majority will have their way, but the minority will have their say,” the ruling party said. They also reacted to the  invasion of the National Assembly complex  in Abuja by security operatives who prevented lawmakers from entering the complex on Tuesday. The APC noted that while they have some contention with the leadership of the National Assembly as currently constituted, t...

Security reports indicates that DG DSS was used by saraki to block the entrance of the National Assembly to tarnish the name of the government, so as to look like Nigeria was drifting into dictatorship. After watching from far away in London and got briefings from the DG NIA who was planted to spy on lawal daura, PMB  has directed the immediate sack of lawal daura as director general of the department of state service. He has been on the watch list of Pmb for sometime because, he is a mole in government and sympathetic to bukola saraki.

"It is still amazing to me that a longtime friend & a colleague of mine that participated fully in all meetings & plans to have us in PDP has cemented plans to defect to APC, my former party just to ridicule me. I never knew he had eyes on this seat(senate president's seat). It is shocking and surprising to me that a man who danced more than others to welcome us few days ago can be this cunning.  He excused himself from PDP NEC meeting & lied to PDP leaders and I that he was traveling abroad but ended up in a meeting with VP and Asiwaju BAT the same day we had the NEC meeting". "Even those who promised me the automatic presidential ticket are now scared of me simply because the kwara state PDP boss has decamped to APC. Politics is indeed local"

The best news. There must be a Brutus and a close friend of Macbeth to kill Macbeth, so is DG DSS to Buhari Joseph Odok #buharistsHangOut

Today has been another round of drama by PDP legislators and DSS. The drama was so poorly scripted. The writers of the drama must be Saraki and the DSS. To quote the PDP Senators, and I quote: "the APC senators were gathered to impeach Saraki, a back door have been created for them and they are meeting to impeach Saraki while other legislators from other political parties are denied entry into the Senate Chamber". This well cooked story is truly a rape of democracy and was capable of staining the Democratic credentials of President Buhari, it could have destroyed the trust of international community on Nigerians democracy. You see their target? A Ben Bruce recently known for lies wailed and blew the alarm. It is still the Ben Bruce that that blew the alarm of the abduction of the police a van jumber and a tree climbing Senator. Ben Bruce became the security agency to report the abduction of a brother who was so afraid of going to appear before the court.  Hmmmm it was suc...

If it make sense to you that it was a mere coincidence for the PDP senators to be at the gate of the NASS as early as 6:00 am complete with "activists" chanting war songs and Channels TV crew to record the drama while their APC counterparts were at home sleeping and snoring, it will hardly make sense to you that the drama was scripted and acted to embarrass President Buhari from the highest imaginable quarters. The plot not to impeach Saraki. It couldn't be. It was concocted to rubbish the administration, embarrass President Buhari and tar him with the brush of a despot to harvest the gains in 2019. Even a kindergarten class would know that you can't impeach a Senate President by mere locking of the gates of the NASS or even sillier, by the absence of the group trying to wrestle power from the Senate President. At least, there's a consensus no member of senator of the APC was sighted at the gate. Unless if APC planned to impeach Saraki by online voting, the inc...

NOTE THAT :- 1. The Presidency wrote to the leadership of the Senate on the need to reconvene for important national issues. 2. Senate President called for meeting of NASS leadership (not all senators). 3. It was clear that he didn't like the meeting to hold because he didn't want the Senate to reconvene (for fear of impeachment). 4. As such there's a need for him to stage a drama so that the meeting will be postponed. 5. He called over to DG DSS, Lawal Daura for being him a a usual accomplice. 6. In the morning, as early as 5am, Saraki's boys woke up and went to the Senate to perfect the play. 7. As part of the play, Lawal Daura sent his boys to barricade them. 8. The earlier insinuations showed that PDP senators were denied entrance into the Chamber. 9. It was later widely reported that APC senators were not seeing there at all. They weren't part of the script. 10. When all the Dailies already reported the incident, with activists calling for t...

Without Lawal Daura, Saraki is like, 'naked'. It is suspected Daura use to leak some insider informations  to Saraki and also coverup Saraki's financial scandals. I bet you, nobody would be happier than Magu. Daura was fond of interfering in the works of the EFCC. Daura gave himself the mandate of investigating financial crimes. Hopefully the inter-agency rivalry between the DSS and EFCC will now die a natural death. There was some kind of connection between the foursome of Saraki, Daura, Okoi Obono-Obla and the AGF. On the other hand the Acting President, Itse Sagay and Magu always work on the same page.

When the Acting President called the Fmr.

One of the main gist in town has been the anticipated defection of Godswill Akpabio, former governor of Akwa Ibom state, from Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC). Many didn’t see it coming. He has met with President Muhammadu Buhari, Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo ahead of a reported rally to formally welcome him into the party’s fold. The interesting thing, however, is that he is leaving the opposition party not long after the PDP welcomed political heavyweights and is close to regaining the majority at the senate. Why is Akpabio’s defection beginning to look like the transfer of the season? Below are key factors that best offer insight: CONSOLATORY VICTORY FOR APC? Akpabio’s defection is coming at a time the ruling party has suffered severe loss, both at the national assembly and at the various states. In what began like a purge, the party first lost 15 senators before 37 members of the house of representatives followed suit and then governor...

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has described the defection of Senate Minority Leader, Obong Godswill Akpabio, from the main opposition People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to the ruling APC, as the beginning of the end of PDP. He noted that the two-term Governor of Akwa Ibom State (Akapbio) deserved commendation for acting wisely and jumping out of the crashing PDP train, before it would finally crash. Eze said: “Knowing Akapbio very well, he is a one-man Tsunami and with him in the progressive train, PDP’s end is only a matter of time. What is more, with Akpabio now in APC, the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, who recently made the mistake of defecting to the PDP, can be sure that his Presidency of the Senate is only a matter of weeks. “The present sorry state of PDP, under the control of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State and Prince Uche Secondus, is most unfortunate. Wike, who was a mere local government chairman...

Police records showed that five people were killed in the disturbing incident which began at 1:30am. Fred Waller, chief, Bureau of Patrol, Chicago police department, said: “As you may be aware, the city of Chicago experienced a violent night. “Incidents of either random or targeted shooting on our streets are totally unacceptable. “Far too often, we continue to see the devastating effects that illegal guns have in some of our communities. “They underscore the real problem of violent criminals who use illegal guns in some of our communities without the fear of consequences of their actions. “Some of these instances were targeted and were related to gang conflicts in those areas.” According to Waller, in at least one incident, shooters opened fire into a crowded street party, adding the shootings occurred between midnight and 2 pm.

I totally disagree. We can't make such mistake again by giving him the senate President most especially being a very new decampee and member of the party. It will dampen the morale of the old members of the party in the senate. Secondly, if I remember, he is a first timer. However, he is very much qualified to become the majority leader but Senate President has to go to Lawal while either Andy Ubah or Ben Uwajumogu will have to be the DSP. This will placate any or envisaged uproar from Ndi Igbo concerning the Deputy Senate Presidency which they have occupied but unfortunately through Ekweremadu. APC must not give room for the Igbos to begin to doubt them again as this will be counter productive going into the next year elections.... When PDP's Ekweremadu from South East is impeached, its politically expedient that another Igbo man replaces him till 2019 when an Igbo man takes the Senate presidency as originally planned from beginning but for their failure or blind refusal...
