Captain Koli flee Nigeria once PDP top officials as well as the military realized that he had secretly taped and leaked conversations of the highly criminal conspiracy to rig the election for PDp's Fayose.

Their plot which was carried out was to thwart the reelection bid of then Governor Kayode Fayemi. The tapes, which revealed the PDP officials trying to blackmail General Momoh whilst also offering him financial inducement, created a political scandal known as #Ekitigate.

After the whistleblower eluded the ferocious military and PDP dragnet that sought to capture and punish him, military authorities detained his younger brother and harassed other members of his family.

A top source told Sahara Reporters that Captain Koli had a brief audience with President Muhammadu Buhari upon his return to Nigeria.

The military has commenced inquiry to “investigate, among other things, alleged malpractices and involvement of military personnel in Ekiti and Osun States’ Gubernatorial Elections in 2014.”

The army recently redeployed Brigadier General Momoh, the lead military player in the Ekiti electoral fraud, to the Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) in Minna, Niger State. General Momoh’s new post is seen as a demotion, said an army source.

Sharing of the spoils has commenced. Speaker of the House of Reps, Yakubu Dogara, has announced the top men who will be Chairmen and Vice Chairmen of the 96 House standing Committees, but without any name for the Ministry of the Niger Delta Affairs yet.

In the new Committee heads, Speaker Dogara’s key men clinched the juicy Committees such as:

Appropriation which is chaired by Abdulmunin Jibrin, Rima Shawulu Kwewum heads Army, Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, Aviation, Zakari Mohammed, Basic Education, Chike Okafor, Healthcare Services and Aminu Shehu Shagari Federal Judiciary.

Also not left out were the core supporters of the House Leader, Rep.

There was also a balance between the ruling APC and the opposition PDP, as the ruling party heads 48 of the Committees, PDP got 45 while APGA and the Social Democratic Party, SDP got one slot each.

In the composition, the South heads 46 Committees while the North heads 50.

The House of Reps also compensated the South East APC members as the two members Chike Okafor and Austin Chukwukere were made chairman Healthcare Services and vice chairman Finance respectively.

Despite the lobbying and bickering among members to head juicy committee, only six members retained the position they headed in the 7th assembly.

Those who retained the headships of their previous committees are:

Jones Onyeriri, Banking and Currency, Nkeiruka Onyejiocha, Aviation, Nnenna Ukeje, Foreign Affairs, Mohammed Munguno, Agriculture, Shehu Shagari, Judiciary, Nicholas Mutu, NDDC, and Aminu Suleiman, Education.

Saraki begs Tinubu; Is Now Ready to Respect Leaders Position

     

All the PDP senators who are pushing Bukola Saraki to disrespect his elders will not pack their load and join him in prison if he is sentenced. OluFamous.Com gathered that Saraki is having a rethink.

In fact, strong indications have emerged that Saraki is now prepared to bow to the position of the leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, by begging the principal officers he appointed to resign.

Saraki has also begged Asiwaju Bola Tinubu secretly and pledged his loyalty, through his wife...

According to Vanguard, part of the unwritten agreement for Saraki to escape going to prison is for him to go back to the initial list of the party on the appointment of principal officers in the Senate.

This was part of the political solution being worked out by the Speaker of House of Reps, Yakubu Dogara.

A source said Dogara and the leadership of APC in the Senate held a marathon meeting at the new wing of the Senate complex on Tuesday evening, where it was agreed that the current holders of the Majority Leadership positions should give way to those agreed by the party leaders.

The source noted that Saraki had been under pressure to intimate his supporters in the Senate, including Senate Leader, Ali Ndume; his Deputy, Bala Ibn Na’allah, and Deputy Majority Whip, Senator Francis Alimikhena, on the need to toe the party’s line as regards the composition of Senate Leadership.

According to a source, the Senate President had communicated Ndume and Na’Allah about the decision of the party on the need for them to vacate the offices in order to save him from going to prison.

It will be recalled that APC had on June 24 written the Senate President and Speaker Dogara, listing names of proposed occupants of the leadership positions.

While Dogara kept faith with the party’s list, Saraki blatantly and arrogantly ignored the party.
