“I Am Not In Nigeria” – Ngige Debunks Collapsing Rumor During Budget Defence

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, has refuted reports that he collapsed on the floor of the House of Representatives during budget defence.  
 
 
Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone, the minister, 
who said he was in South Africa en route to Nigeria today, described the
 rumour as a ruse and an attempt by politicians to malign his ability 
and personality. 
 

He said “It’s laughable, and a failed cannon targeted at me by never -do- well politicians for selfish interest.

“I am not in Nigeria, I attended special morning function in Zambia 
and I’m airborne to South Africa where I will be coming into the country
 tomorrow, the rumours on the social media and other quarters have to 
show how petty people can be. 
 
 
“I don’t see it as anything but I wish to tell those who still 
play this outdated and obsolete politics of bitterness to embrace change
 and know that it is no longer business as usual. 
 
“The rumour has shown that I’m a great person. The late Dr. Nnamdi 
Azikiwe experienced such dangerous rumour. Those who peddle such rumour 
in history most often visit there before long.” 
 

He expressed confidence in President Buhari’s administration to rid 
the country of corrupt leaders and maintained that his ministry shall 
continue to play the complimentary role of promoting good governance in 
the country.

The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, 
PDP, Olisa Metuh, was Monday taken to court in handcuffs for the third 
time. 
 
The first time was on January 19. 
 
Following condemnations by his party and some Nigerians, the Nigerians Prisons which led him to court last Wednesday explained why the opposition spokesman was treated that way. 
 
 
Similarly on January 22, Metuh was also brought at the premises of the Federal High Court Abuja in handcuffs. 
 
Justice Ishaq Bello, at his ruling, granted him bail in the sum of N300m and two sureties in like sum. 
 
Metuh,
 who is still being held in Kuje prison custody pending when he will 
perfect his bail conditions, had before the commencement of Monday’s 
trial prayed the court for bail variation through his counsel, Onyechi 
Ikpeazu, SAN. 
 
Justice Okon Abang, thereafter adjourned the matter to January 26, 2016 for continuation of trial.

Olisa Metuh charged for 'destroying own confessional statement', sent back to prison

Thursday, January 21, 2016 Gist4Rela 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Thursday morning 
slammed a fresh two-count charge on the spokesman of the Peoples 
Democratic Party, Olisa Metuh, over an alleged attempt by the politician
 to destroy a confessional statement made to its operatives. 
 
 <img alt="" data-file_info="%7B%22fid%22:%2245936%22,%22view_mode%22:%22embedded%22,%22fields%22:%7B%22format%22:%22full%22,%22field_file_image_title_text%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22%22,%22field_file_image_caption%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22Olisa%20Metuh%22,%22field_attribution%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22%22,%22field_align%5Bund%5D%5B0%5D%5Bvalue%5D%22:%22center%22%7D,%22type%22:%22media%22%7D" src="https://secure.saharareporters.com/sites/default/files/styles/normal_medium/public/metuh%20c_1.jpg?itok=McCr8jjU" /> 
 
The new charges came less than 48 hours after the Federal High Court,
 Abuja, granted him bail over a seven-count charge of corruption.

The EFCC drove the embattled politician into the premises of the FCT 
High Court on Thursday morning, in preparation of slamming fresh charges
 on him.

Similar to Tuesday, Mr. Metuh was in handcuffs when he was brought into the court.

The handcuffs were later removed as he waited to be taken before a judge.

He was later brought before Justice Ishaq Bello and accused of 
attempting to destroy information provided during his cross-examination 
at the office of the EFCC.

Count one of the charges contains an allegation of destruction of a 
statement he had given to the commission, to prevent it from being 
produced, while count two of the charge revolves around allegations of 
mischief, all punishable under section 327 of the Penal Code Act.

After pleading not guilty to the said charges, counsel to the EFCC, 
Sylvanus Tahir, asked for more time to allow his team present witnesses 
and evidence in support of the allegations against the politician.

Justice Bello, who is the chief judge of the FCT High Court, noted 
that the EFCC must produce three witnesses during the next sitting, 
without fail.

He noted that it was needless to have the case brought before him if it was already ongoing at a Federal High Court.

But EFCC counsel, Mr. Sylvanus, explained that the new charges, filed
 on January 18, were not the same as those currently being heard at the 
Federal High Court.

The matter was adjourned till January 25, for a hearing of an 
application for bail, while information would be relayed later on 
whether or not the substantive suit would be heard Friday.

Mr. Metuh was also asked to return to Kuje Prison.

The EFCC had on January 12 accused Mr. Metuh of shredding a 
confessional statement he made to its operatives, indicating it would 
charge him separately for attempting to destroy a major evidence in the 
case against him.

“The tearing of statement is tantamount to a willful destruction of 
government property and it is a serious offence,” the official had told 
this newspaper at the time. “Also the fact that he obstructed operatives
 from performing their job is also a criminal offence. We will explore 
the possibility of filing a separate charge against him at the Federal 
Capital Territory High Court.”

In the original case for which he is standing trial at the Federal 
High Court, Mr. Metuh is facing a seven-count charge of corruption.

He is accused of receiving N400 million from former National Security
 Adviser, Sambo Dasuki. The amount is part of the allegedly diverted sum
 of $2.1 billion meant for the purchase of arms.

On Tuesday, Justice Okon Abang granted him bail.

To regain his freedom, however, Mr. Metuh, Justice Abang said, must 
deposit N400 million bail bond, the same amount he is accused of 
illegally receiving, two sureties who must have properties in Maitama 
area of Abuja, and who must also deposit N200 million each.

It is unclear whether Mr. Metuh met those bail conditions.</div>

PDP Angry Over Metuh’s Handcuffing

Thursday, January 21, 2016 Gist4Rela 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Governors of on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party 
(PDP) have described the handcuffing of the national publicity secretary
 of their party, Olisa Metuh, by the Nigeria Prison Service as a gross 
abuse of human liberty.  
 
 <img alt="http://cdn.dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/12553069_1193571914004930_5445433753638305386_n.jpg?712c0b" src="http://cdn.dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/12553069_1193571914004930_5445433753638305386_n.jpg?712c0b" /> 
 
 The governors in a release on Thursday, January 21, in Abuja by Osaro 
Onaiwu, the coordinator of the forum, accused the President Muhammadu 
Buhari of using the anti-corruption agencies and other institutions of 
state to subject accused persons like Metuh to inhuman treatment. 
 
 
According to Premium Times, the party said the cuffing of  Metuh was 
meant to deride the PDP as well as taint the party as a party of corrupt
 individuals even when they were yet to be convicted by any competent 
court.

The forum said: “The cuffing of the National Publicity Secretary 
of the PDP exemplifies a terrible decay of power by the APC regime which
 sees itself bigger than the democratic state, Nigeria, which brought it
 to power.

“The only reasonable conclusion we have reached is that the 
anti-corruption agencies and other institutions of state have allowed 
themselves to be dictated to by a single vindictive authority which 
takes pleasure in using power anyhow and in anyway in gross abuse of the
 constitution, African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and human 
liberty.” 
 
 The forum however stated that it is not against the anti-corruption war 
of the present regime of President Muhammadu Buhari, but insisted that 
the anti-corruption drive must be within the ambit of the constitution 
and appropriate laws. 
 
In the same vein, the PDP director on new media, Deji Adeyanju has described the
 arrest of Olisah Metuh, by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
 (EFCC) as an attempt by the APC to silent opposition parties in 
Nigeria.

Adeyanju 
stated that the current war against corruption by the President 
Muhammadu Buhari lead government is only aimed at distracting Nigerians 
from the real issues.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Prisons Service (NPS) has defended the manner 
Olisa Metuh was treated when he appeared for his trial at the Federal 
High Court in Abuja in Handcuffs on Tuesday, January 19.

According to the NPS, putting handcuffs was at the discretion of the prison officer, who supervised Metuh’s court appearance.

The NPS also dismissed allegations by the PDP that the service mistreated Metuh all in a bid to play out a script orchestrated by President Muhammadu Buhari.</div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
The residence of a lawmaker representing Toro/Jama’a 
constituency in the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Hon. Tukur Ibrahim 
has been attacked by gunmen, NAN reports. 
 
 
The state’s police command’s spokesman, DSP Haruna Mohammed, who made
 this known to journalists, said the attack occurred at about 1.20am on 
Thursday, January 21.

According to him, the armed men who were five in number forced the main entrance of the house and started shooting sporadically “with the intention of either robbing or kidnapping their target.”

“On hearing the sound of gunshots, Police patrol team, led by DPO
 Toro Division, rushed to the scene and engaged the hoodlums in a fierce
 gun battle. The exchange of fire lasted for more than 20 minutes, after
 which they (hoodlums) were forced to abandon their mission and escape 
towards the mountainous hills,” he said.

The force spokesman said there were no casualties in the gun fight, 
adding that the police recovered one live and 16 expended 7.62mm 
ammunition from the scene.

Mohammed said efforts had been doubled to arrest the fleeing suspects.</div>

Nigeria's Governance Under Buhari is like a Nollywood Movie - Fayose

Thursday, January 21, 2016 Gist4Rela 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img alt="Buhari Fayose" class="alignnone wp-image-106061 aligncenter" height="319" src="http://778819914.r.worldcdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Buhari-Fayose.png" width="589" /> 
 
 
 
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State, has challenged the Minister 
of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed to make public names of 
the 15 former governors and 55 Nigerians that he claimed stole N1.34 
trillion between 2006 and 2013 or keep his mouth shut permanently. 
 
In a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and 
New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said “The reality is that the 
All Progressives Congress (APC) Federal Government has destroyed the 
economy within eight months in power and rather than look for solutions 
to the problems facing Nigeria, Lai Mohammed and his cohorts are 
branding bogus figures about stolen money just to cover up their lack of
 solution to the country’s economic problems.” 
 
The governor, who also described as disgraceful, bringing the Peoples
 Democratic Party (PDP) National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh to 
court in handcuff, said; “Even the masterminds of Mandala and Nyanya 
bomb blasts, Kabiru Sokoto and Aminu Sadiq Ogwuche were not handcuffed 
when they were arraigned in court.” 
 
Fayose said it was funny that close to one year after it won the 
presidential election, the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC federal 
government was still operating as if it was campaigning for votes. 
The governor said: “They are turning governance to Nollywood, such 
that when one movie is about to end, they release another one. 
 
As it appears that the $2.1 billion arms deal movie is getting to an 
end, Lai Mohammed introduced another movie titled N1.34 trillion loot. 
 
“Unfortunately for them this time around, Nigerians have become tired
 of watching the Federal Government movies, they now want reality. 
 
Nigerians are now aware of the scam in the $2.1 billion arms deal 
movie having seen that the amount those already charged to court were 
charged with is not more than N10 billion and $2.1 billion is over N600 
billion. 
 
“Therefore, Lai Mohammed must either tell Nigerians details of the 15
 former governors and 55 people that he claimed stole N1.34 trillion, 
where the stolen money is kept and bring back the money or apologise to 
Nigerians for lying.” 
 
While describing the persistent claim by the federal government that 
the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) destroyed Nigeria for 16 years as 
hypocritical, Governor Fayose said Nigerians must begin to ask which 
party majority of those presently ruling the country under the APC 
government were between 1999 and 2014. 
 
“Majority of those who ran the Federal Government between 1999 and 
2003 under the PDP are in the APC government today. President, vice 
president, ministers, governors, senators and House of Reps members who 
were part of the PDP government are now in APC. Yet, APC keeps telling 
Nigerians that PDP ruined the country. This hypocrisy must stop,” he 
said. 
 
The governor, who insisted that due process of the law must be 
followed in fighting corruption, noted that disobedience to court orders
 itself is a criminal offence that is more grievous than corruption. 
He said no amount of harassment and intimidation will silence 
opposition in the country, saying President Buhari and his men 
should rather get used to the reality that opposition must exist in a 
democracy.</div>

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has suffered a huge loss 
at the federal House of Representatives as one of its members lost his 
seat. 
 
The Nation reports that Ferdinand Dozie Nwankwo, the candidate of the
 All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) representing 
Njikoka/Anaocha/Dunukofia federal constituency of Anambra state took 
over from the PDP. 
 
Nwankwo was returned duly elected by the Appeal court and was 
administered the oath of office by the Clerk of the House , Sani Omolori
 reducing PDP to 139 members while APGA has 5. 
 
 
The visibly excited lawmaker, after his victory, said the 
anti-corruption drive of President Muhammadu Buhari’s government must be
 given all the support required to succeed. 
 
He said: “I am here to make quality legislation. I am here to see how to enhance the laws that will benefit my constituency. 
 
“We will try our best to solve the multiple problems facing our 
people back home. I am an agent of change. I believe that the federal 
government is doing what it can . 
 
“I will support every good laws that would fight corruption. 
Corruption is an endemic disease ravaging us and we need to fight it 
with every quality laws that we can make.”</div>

 The Nigerian Senate on Thursday, January 1, accused ‎the 
senior special adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari, Senator Ita Enang 
of doctoring the 2016 budget. 
 
It is alleged that Enang made copies different from the copy laid by President Buhari on Tuesday, December 22, before a joint session of the National Assembly. 
 
Senate President Bukola Saraki disclosed this at the end of the executive session that lasted for over two hours. 
 
Saraki announced that the Senate will only accept the version of the 
2016 Appropriation Bill that was presented by President Buhari. 
 
He made this statement after the Senate ad hoc committee setup to 
investigate the claims of the 2016 budget being misplaced delivered its 
report at the Senate plenary today, January 14. 
 
In their report, the investigative committee revealed that the Senate
 have in its possession two versions of the 2016 Appropriation Bill 
which were from the president and from Ita Enang. 
 
The Senate President further revealed that the consideration of the 
2016 Appropriation Bill would commence on Tuesday January 19, and 
further stated that if the presidency wants to amend the initial version
 of the bill that was submitted to the National Assembly, there were 
proper legislative channels to do so. 
 
He said: “What he distributed is different from what was 
presented by Mr President and we have resolved not to address any 
version until we receive the version presented by Mr President.” 
 
 
Aliyu Sabi, the Senate spokesman reinstated the claims while briefing journalists after plenary today, January 14. 
 
“We are duty bound to consider the budget that has been laid by 
Mr President, we are waiting for the soft copy of so that we can produce
 it ourselves,” he stated. 
 
Several  Efforts were made to speak to Sabi privately on the matter but proved 
abortive. The Senate credited this report to findings of the Senate 
committee on Ethics privileges and public petitions. 
 
Earlier today, It was revealed that the Senate leadership held an emergency meeting in the office of  Saraki over the 2016 missing budget. 
 
In a related development, following the alleged disappearance of the 2016 budget document from the National Assembly, the Senate Joint Committee on Wednesday, January 13, quizzed five members of staff from the upper chamber.

Dasukigate Funds: Ladoja Received N100M From Anenih

Saturday, January 09, 2016 Gist4Rela 0

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
Former Governor Rashid Ladoja of Oyo State reportedly 
received N100 million from Tony Anenih, ex-chairman of the Board of 
Trustees of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), according to recent 
revelations in which more than $2 billion of defense funds were diverted
 to political purposes. Mr. Ladoja's Accord Party, which backed former 
President Goodluck Jonathan in his failed reelection bid, has 
acknowledged that the former governor received the funds. Investigators 
believe that the funds, handed over by Mr. Anenih, were part of more 
than $2 billion that Mr. Dasuki distributed to a number of high-profile 
political figures. <div class="first">

Accord Party was one of several small political parties that chose 
not to field a candidate in the 2015 presidential election. Instead, the
 party endorsed Mr. Jonathan, who was handily beaten in the March 28, 
2015. The N100 million received by Mr. Ladoja was meant to smooth the 
way for the Accord Party's support.

In a letter titled "Release of One Hundred Million by Chief Tony 
Anenih,” a representative of the Accord Party told Ibrahim Magu, the 
chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), about 
the circumstances surrounding the funds. Signed by one "Hon. Adisa," 
the January 8, 2016 letter drew attention "to a newspaper report that 
the sum of One Hundred Million Naira was released to the Accord [Party] 
leader, Senator Rashidi Ladoja by Chief Tony Anenih, the (former) 
chairman BoT of the PDP."

The letter continued: "We confirm that the sum of One Hundred Million
 Naira was given to the Party through our leader after [a] series of 
meetings between the leadership of Accord and Chief Tony Anenih in 
preparation for the 2015 general elections. The following issues were 
discussed at the meetings: the need to support the presidential 
candidate of the PDP since ACCORD had no presidential candidate; the 
need to ensure that peace was maintained to enhance peaceful movement 
during periods of campaign, elections and after the elections; the need 
for the PDP to support ACCORD campaign effort."

The Accord Party spokesman revealed that the N100 million Mr. Anenih 
released to former Governor Ladoja was meant to serve the purposes 
agreed on by the two political parties.

EFCC Arrests APC Chieftain And Buhari’s Associate, Jafaru Isa

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

The EFCC probe into the $2.1 billion arms deal has led to the arrest 
of an APC chieftain and close associate of President Buhari, Jafaru Isa 
pictured above. According to Premium Times, Jafaru who was a military 
governor during the Abacha regime, was arrested at about 9pm at his 
Asokoro residence in Abuja yesterday January 6th. He is alleged to have 
received N100 million from the office of embattled former NSA Sambo 
Dasuki.

EFCC had written to him requesting that he comes forward to explain 
the reason for receiving the money. Jafaru then wrote to the antigraft 
agency, asking that his invitation be postponed because he lost a 
relative. Dissatisfied with his request, EFCC operatives went to his 
house yesterday night and arrested him.

Jonathan, 58, was named the ‘Person of the Year’ by The African Sun Times, Africa’s number one and largest newspaper in the United States of America (USA). 
 
That singular seem act seem to have elevated the status of the 
Otuoke-born  to a global citizen and as a reference for African leaders,
 who are known for holding on to power for too long.  
 
In October 2015, Jonathan was named the chairman of the Commonwealth Observer Group for the presidential election in Tanzania.

In November 2015, Jonathan
 rounded off a two-week visit to the USA with a meeting with students of
 the Howard University School of Political Science where he was the special guest at the university event with the theme: “Elections And Constitutions In Africa: A Timely Issue”.

In December 2015, one of Nigeria’s online newspapers, The Trent named Jonathan the Person of the Year 2015. 
 
 Meanwhile, Jonathan
 has been invited to present the keynote address at the 2016 Hope Global
 Forums conference, billed to hold this month in Atlanta, USA.
