Saraki loyalists reject Lawan, Akume as Senate leaders

The current crisis rocking the All Progressives Congress (APC), got worse on Saturday when senators loyal to Senate President, Bukola Saraki, vowed to resist alleged moves by the APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, and other party chieftains to present Senators Ahmad Lawan and George Akume as the Senate leader and deputy, respectively.
 

Senators Ahmed Sani-Yerima and Danjuma Goje, spoke with journalists in Abuja and specifically declared that the plans by the leadership of the APC to fill the remaining four principal-officer positions with ranking members of the Senate Unity Forum was totally unacceptable.

The Senators Unity Forum consists of loyalists of Lawan, who lost the Senate Presidency bid to Saraki.
 

It was learnt that the APC leadership had allegedly been trying to arrange Lawan as the Senate leader and Senator George Akume as his deputy.
 

The pro-Lawan group, which has the backing of former Gov. Tinubu, was also said to have picked Professor Olusola Adeyeye (Osun) as the Senate Chief Whip, while Senator Abu Ibrahim from Katsina State would be his deputy.
 

But Senator Sani-Yerima, a former Senate Deputy Minority Leader, and Goje, a former governor of Gombe State, insisted that the pro-Saraki Like Minds senators would resist imposition of principal officers on the chamber.

Sani-Yerima maintained that the election of the four principal officers was the exclusive right of the zonal caucuses in the Senate.

He said the move by the APC leadership was illegal, adding that “there can never be imposition of candidates on the chamber by the party leadership”

He said,

“As far as I’m concerned, the party cannot impose leadership on us. It is unconstitutional and against the rules of the Senate.

“The Senate Majority Leader; Deputy Majority Leader; Senate Chief Whip; Deputy Chief Whip were elected by their zonal caucuses in the Seventh Senate and the case of the Eighth Senate cannot be different.

“The best thing the party can do, given the circumstances, is to give us directives. Any attempt to impose will be resisted and this will further divide the party.”

He also, said that the party must follow due process, stressing that the Senate Presidency of Senator Bukola Saraki was committed to protecting the interests of President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said,

“We should follow due process. Allowing the party to impose a leadership on the Senate President is to make him to fail because he cannot be forced to work with his rivals.

“We are committed to giving President Buhari protection in the Senate. What we are doing is definitely not against the President.”

On his part, Goje warned the party against imposition of candidates, adding that such a move would likely further polarise the party.

He said,

“By trying to impose another set of leaders on the National Assembly is to cause further crisis in the party. It will complicate matters and generate further crisis in the National Assembly.”

Spokesperson for the pro-Lawan senators, Kabir Marafa, described the argument of the pro-Saraki senators as incorrect and argued that the choice of other principal officers who are not elected on the floor of the Senate remained the sole business of the party leadership.
 

He said,

“It is not possible for the executive of the party at the zonal levels to determine who will be made the Senate Leader, the Deputy Senate Leader, Chief Whip, and the Deputy Chief Whip. It has never happened and it won’t happen this time around.

“The party executive must determine all the occupants of the four principal offices. The party will write the Senate President. That is the tradition. It cannot be done at the zonal level. We must follow due process.”

Buhari Delivers Death to The Cabal, Refineries Will Work Again

It was a simple mathematical equation. I hedged my bets on it and Buhari has proven I won. Nigeria’s privatization was always a scam. They made it seem as if it was impossible for government to keep things working and to fix them when they spoil. The simple minded believed them. Petty economists argued and wrote epistles explaining how this was the colonial master’s capitalist Holy Grail. I argued that if indeed the government could not run anything, it must first privatize itself, as by their own submission, it lacked the capacity to ‘privatize,’ as a process run. I labelled it for what it really was- Cabalization, and waged my bet against them.

The only way to prove I was right was for a Buhari to win. We kicked out Jonathan. He won. I won.

What is Cabalization? I described it in detail in my article of February 8th, 2014: “Cabalization of PHCN Leads to Exorbitant Electricity Bills For Nigerians.” Here is how it works: 1. Allow the cabal to disrupt processes of repair and utility of public assets. 2. Make it appear impossible to run and maintain public assets. 3. Overhaul them at a stupendous price paid by tax payer/ national income. 4. Offer them for sale in a shoddy process to your cabal partners in whose companies you have stock. 5. Sell them at one tenth the amount you used to overhaul them – effectively looting billions in an instant. 6. Allow unregulated exorbitant rates for the utilities the now privatized assets provide. 7. Enforce an oligopoly for the utilities, barring natural competition. 8. Relax and enjoy your looted state wealth and reap crazy dividends in quarterly returns from your shares in the cabalized companies.

Yes, today we know that our refineries can work. Four will be working by this July, God willing. They were never broken, just kept out of commission by workers of Lucifer. They kept them off simply to make fuel subsidy bread, to pave the path for cabalization and to raise the stock of Dangote’s refinery. The vultures. Their eyes were on these refineries. Obasanjo dashed them to them earlier, along with Transcorp Hilton and other things, but thankfully Yar’Adua seized them back for us.

President Buhari is delivering the change we voted him into power for. In spite of his ineffective media team and his imperfections, like his failure to remove the innocent’s blood-soaked NSA and Security chiefs, he has defied the typical odds and shamed the Stockholm syndromed. Perhaps he will overturn many of the past privatizations as did late Yar’Adua before they poisoned him as alleged.

I call the past Babangida’s PDP governments, jackals and the cabal, vultures. In a partnership of death.

One thing is certain: the cabal will fight back! Oh yes they will. Therefore, I call on all Nigerians to fight on the side of posterity. To defend change. Our revolution that got rid of Babangida was hijacked again immediately by his adopted brother, Abdulsalami as they installed their ‘PDP’ party. We must never allow this revolution to be likewise hijacked. The hijack has already started in the senate. Actually it started before Buhari was even sworn in, with the bill amendments. This war against the 30-year strong and long Babangida and his PDP-sons who sold Nigeria to themselves, will not be possible or easy for Buhari by himself especially with that covetous National Assembly who did their best to put a man of the cabal at the head of the senate. 

Buhari cannot do it without us. Defend your revolution. Defend Change. Death to the cabal. Sai Buhari!

Obasanjo Speaks With Buhari Over Saraki's Apology

Althought ex-President Obasanjo is not happy with Bukola Saraki for going against his new party the way he did and he made it very clear to him and his entourage, but he has promised to intervene.

Obasanjo scolded Saraki and other Senators who plotted the Senate President coup with him, saying "you children of nowadays, you only run to elders when you have finished making the damage".

To make things easy, Obasanjo spoke with President Buharri before Saraki got to his house.

A presidency source said Buhari is always in contact with Obasanjo, especially to seek for advise..

The source said in one of their recent conversations, Obasanjo informed Buhari that Saraki was leading a small delegation of Senators to his Abeokuta home to beg for his intervention.

“I overheard President Buhari laughing and saying to Obasanjo, 'you have to see them, are they not all your boys'?” the presidency source said.

To this end, Obasanjo has promised to “ensure communication between all parties”.

Teenager takes selfies as she has sex with dogs

 

A teenager has reportedly admitted taking selfies as she had sex with a dog in her grandma's house.

Ashley Miller is said to have told police how she coaxed her dog, a pit bull called 2-face, into performing a sex act on her between 30 and 40 times over the past five years.
Officers have also indicated she admitted to making her previous dog, a pit bull-Rottweiler cross named Scarface, perform oral sex on her.
Miller, from Bradenton, Florida, has been charged with two counts of sexual activities involving animals after police discovered the vile images on her mobile phone.

According to court documents, she told officers that 2-face lives at her grandma's house, also in Bradenton, a city in Manatee County.

Miller insisted she never forced the dog into any sexual act, adding that she never touched 2-face sexually.

The acts always took places when one of her family members was in the house, although they had no idea about what was going on in the bedroom, Miller said.

On at least two occasions, she took selfies. The 'puppy porn' pictures were discovered in two hidden folders on Miller's phone, one titled "2-face fun" and another titled "Me", police said.

Miller told officers that fewer than 10 of the acts occurred after she turned 18 in February.

A vet has indicated that 2-face showed no sign of injury when she checked her out.

Miller is due to appear in court next month.

President Buhari's wife relocates to Aso Rock ahead of husband

The wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, has relocated to the Presidential Villa, Abuja, barely three weeks after President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was inaugurated.

Since they were inaugurated, Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo have been operating from outside the Presidential Villa.

This is despite the fact that both men have their official residences and offices inside the Villa.

 

They have both been operating from their private residences as well as the Defence House, official residence of the President-elect located at Maitama District, Abuja.

It was gathered that Mrs. Buhari formally relocated to the Presidential Villa on Thursday at a time when her husband was out of Abuja.

“Hajia (Buhari) arrived here (Presidential Villa) with her entourage at about 6pm on Thursday. She had relocated ahead of her husband. She passed the night here,” a Presidency official reported.

 

Another Presidency official said that the President is expected to join his wife  next week.

 

Buhari had departed Abuja for Kaduna on Tuesday shortly after he arrived from South Africa where he took part in the just-concluded 25th Assembly of Heads of State and Government of the African Union.

He proceeded from Kaduna to his hometown, Daura, in Katsina State.

 

Buhari is expected back in Abuja from the journey described as “private trips” this weekend.

“The President is expected back this weekend. He will be expected to join his wife here on his arrival,” the source added.

Upon his formal relocation to the Presidential Villa, Buhari is expected to operate for the first time from his office on Monday.

 

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, said  that ongoing renovation work was hindering Buhari from moving into the Presidential Villa.

 

He said,

“As far as the President is concerned, the place (his official residence) is not ready yet. Workers are cleaning and refurbishing the place. Once the exercise is completed, the President will move in.”
