RECUSE YOURSELF, YOU CAN'T INVESTIGATE ME —MALAMI TO EFCC CHAIRMAN

Image
The Office of the Former Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, SAN, issues this press release to formally address the ongoing detention, investigation, and threatened prosecution of Malami by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), which he categorically describes as a politically motivated witch-hunt precipitated by his recent defection to the African Democratic Congress (ADC). THE MOTIVE: HISTORICAL ANIMOSITY AND MALICIOUS PERSONAL VENDETTA  Malami states that the present actions of the EFCC are not borne out of law enforcement imperatives but are instead driven by deep-seated historical animosity and a malicious personal vendetta orchestrated by the EFCC Chairman. While serving as Attorney-General of the Federation, Malami recalls that the Federal Government constituted the Justice Ayo Salami Judicial Commission of Inquiry to investigate grave allegations of corruption and abuse of office within the EFCC. At the time, the curre...

THE TRUTH BE SAY, TRUMP NO RATE TINUBU AT ALL - Michael Ogueke

Image
Prof. Michael Ogueke  The truth is, Trump no rate Tinubu at all. I doubt he thinks we have a president in Nigeria. Well, that's the international insult a country gets from electing mediocrity & tribal champion whose only sense of reasoning & preoccupation is how to remain in power to completely confiscate the country for himself & his tribal kinsmen & loot it out of the world map. Over two years now that Tinubu sacked all the Nigerian Ambassadors, he has not replaced them. Nigeria has no Ambassador in America nor anywhere else in the world to be invited by foreign governments for clarifications on issues of interests to them.  Nigeria has no Ambassador anywhere in the world to send to foreign governments to present Nigeria's positions on issues.  Nobody even know if we have a Foreign Affairs Minister let alone what his name is. Everything about Nigeria is run & controlled by Tinubu, his son - Seyi, Wike & Gbajabiamila.  And now, none of them ...

By Dr. Tonye Clinton Jaja. Your Excellency, Governor Siminialayi Fubara, Sir, You are a very fortunate person unknowingly President Bola Ahmed Tinubu (PBAT) and the National Assembly has unwittingly granted you an extension of your tenure by their imposition of a six month suspension upon your good self. You are entitled to a six month extension because the said state of emergency that was imposed upon your good self did not satisfy the requirements of Section 305 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 . This is because the pre-requisite essential requirement...

BREAKING NEWS: RESIDENT DOCTORS SHUT DOWN HOSPITALS, NATIONWIDE

Image
 The National Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has directed its members to withdraw services from public hospitals nationwide from Friday. The action followed the expiration of a 24-hour ultimatum issued to the Federal Government to meet its outstanding demands. The ultimatum came after an earlier 10-day deadline, which lapsed on 10 September, without resolution. On 1 September, NARD had warned it would embark on an indefinite strike if the government failed to address the issues within 10 days. Resident doctors, who constitute the majority of the medical workforce in teaching and specialist hospitals, have repeatedly gone on strike in recent years over unpaid wages, poor welfare, and inadequate working conditions. NARD President, Dr. Tope Osundare , told Daily Trust on Thursday that the fresh ultimatum was the outcome of a six-hour virtual meeting of the association’s National Executive Council (NEC) held on Wednesday. Daily Trust reports that the doctors are demanding imme...

FELIX MORKA, NIGERIANS ARE NOT FOOLS.

Image
 REJOINDER TO FELIX MORKA’S POLITICAL FANTASY: NIGERIANS ARE NOT F00LS! By: balazamora@yahoo.com The recent press release by Felix Morka , the Publicity Secretary of the APC , is a desperate attempt to mask the glaring failures of the Tinubu administration with empty rhetoric, selective data, and laughable sycophancy. In his poorly crafted political sermon, Morka tried to cast Mallam Nasir El-Rufai as an “inconsolable sulker,” simply because the former governor had the courage to speak a hard and uncomfortable truth—that this administration is running Nigeria into the ground with a smile on its face. Let’s be clear: Morka’s long-winded outburst is nothing but a diversion from the real issues affecting Nigerians—poverty, inflation, insecurity, joblessness, and a near-total collapse of public trust in leadership. If anything, it reveals how disconnected the APC propaganda machine has become from the actual pains and frustrations of everyday Nigerians. A GOVERNMENT BUILT ON SLOGANS...

ENOUGH OF THE BLAME GAME, MR. PRESIDENT - Dr. Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu

  Nigerians are in pain. Hunger walks freely in the land. Inflation is out of control. Insecurity is a daily nightmare. Public infrastructure is crumbling, and millions now live on the edge of survival. With such unrelenting economic hardship, people are asking tough questions: Where is all the money going? Why has life become this unbearable, especially after the removal of fuel subsidy that was meant to save Nigeria billions? A timely and thought-provoking discussion recently aired on Channels TV’s Politics Today, hosted by Seun Okinbaloye, featuring Alwan Hassan, a chieftain of the ruling APC. The topic, “Nigeria Under Tinubu’s Watch,” couldn’t be more apt. The conversation explored the dire state of the economy and the deepening frustration of Nigerians. One critical question emerged from that discourse: Why are State Governors not being held accountable despite receiving massive monthly allocations post-subsidy removal? That question hit a nerve, and rightly so. Since the remo...
