CAN Dissolves NCEF Passes Vote of Confidence on its President
CAN/Ag.GS/OGMAILS/205
The Chairman November 23, 2018
National Christian Elders’ Forum (NCEF)
Elder Solomon Asemota (SAN)
Abuja
Dear Sir,
NATIONAL CHRISTIAN ELDERS’ FORUM (NCEF): LETTER OF DISSOLUTION BY AND DISSOCIATION FROM THE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA
The National Executive Committee (NEC) of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), at its meeting of Tuesday, November 20, 2018, after reviewing its relationship with the NCEF, came to a firm resolution that our dealings with your organization should come to an end forthwith.
There is no doubt that the NCEF is made up of several very highly respected elders with amiable pedigree, and we wish to place this on record. However, when the right people consistently feed and act upon misinformation, they are bound to be counterproductive.
We recalled that by the authorization of CAN NEC, the then President, Pastor Ayo Oristejafor, inaugurated the NCEF on Thursday, January 15, 2015, with the aim of coming together to promote the cause of the Christian Faith in Nigeria through useful collaborative efforts. However, it has become clear to us that the exact opposite of our expectations in inaugurating your group is the current experience we are having with you.
In view of the above, CAN NEC hereby informs you that our collaboration with your group is officially dissolved and all dealings with you as a body, are hereby discontinued. This decision is premised upon the authority by which you were inaugurated.
Yours Sincerely,
Signed

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA
COMMUNIQUE ISSUED ON THE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE (NEC) MEETING HELD ON TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 2018 AT THE NATIONAL CAN SECRETARIAT, ABUJA
The Christian Association of Nigeria is fully aware of the numerous provocative publications through various media services which have been gaining rounds in recent weeks, making it appear as if the Association has lost its direction and focus. Most of those publications have been released by either of two broad categories of people. One group is that of innocent but ignorant people, who do not know the truth of happenings in CAN. This group believes news without finding out and makes publications which are completely false and unfounded. The other category is made up of people who are intentionally mischievous because they have not been having their way of gaining control of the Association. They have sought to make CAN “business as usual”, but they have found stiff resistance in the current CAN leadership. They got hold of the Vice President of the Association to levy accusations against his principal in order to bring him to disrepute before the world and the Association. CAN leadership became very concerned and set up a committee to investigate all allegations against the CAN President. And while the CAN President made himself available to the panel with documentary evidences, his accuser, the CAN Vice President, refused to appear before the committee in spite of all attempts made to ensure his appearance.
In view of the foregoing, the National Executive Committee of CAN met on October 12, 2018 and November 20, 2018 to consider and resolve on the report of the Reconciliation Committee. The following resolutions were made after elaborate discussions:
8. That the CAN President should be appreciated for his courageous leadership at such a time as this in the history of our nation. The CAN National Executive Committee is particularly pleased with the CAN President for consistently speaking out about the plight of numerous voiceless people in our country, chiefly, on the terrorist activities as unleashed by the Boko Haram, the Fulani Herdsmen and other terrorist groups on innocent Nigerians. His struggle for the release of the remaining Chibok School girls, Miss Leah Sharibu, a captive of her Christian faith, by the Boko Haram group, and other innocent captives all over the country has been greatly applauded.
9. That the CAN President should be appreciated for his great concern and positive actions in caring for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP’s) all over the country. The Association recalled how CAN leadership travelled from State to State in the country, rendering support to people who have been displaced from their homes.
10. The CAN President should be appreciated for leading CAN in interfaith activities which were almost completely closed up before he assumed office. It was noticed that it was at his time that NIREC was revived and officials who were not giving the organization the needed cooperation and cohesion were replaced.
11. The CAN President was applauded for giving great attention to people with physical challenges and for setting up a committee to look into their plight.
12. The CAN President was appreciated for recognizing and opening room for various Christian organizations to collaborate with CAN from across the country and beyond.
13. The CAN President was appreciated for his ability to bring together Christian leaders from across the country to deliberate on moving the Nigerian Church forward. This was an unprecedented feat.
14. The CAN President was appreciated for ensuring that various court cases all over the country were withdrawn for out-of-court settlement.
In view of the above, the National Executive Committee, at its meeting of Tuesday, November 20, 2018, unanimously applauded the CAN President for these and other achievements. NEC sees all the negative and baseless publications against the CAN President
as mere distractions and a calculated attempt to malign his integrity and derail him from his focus of giving CAN credible leadership. According to CAN NEC, “We must not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy” (II Cor. 2:11). In addition, the following decisions were made by CAN NEC:
1. That CAN immediately dissolves the National Christian Elders’ Forum (NCEF) which was inaugurated on Thursday, January 15, 2015 by the powers conferred on the then CAN President. CAN NEC, by the same powers that inaugurated the forum, forthwith dissolves and dissociates completely from the NCEF in view of the incongruous and unacceptable operations manifested consistently by the group.
2. That CAN NEC dismisses in its entirety, the publication of the immediate past National Youth CAN Chairman, Mr. Daniel David Kadzai, who, in the Guardian Newspaper of Monday, November 12, 2018, p.9 alleged that the CAN President defrauded CAN of “over N2.8 billion”. CAN regrets that a man who had served the Association in the past, and was tolerated in spite of his numerous incompetent leadership skills, could not only be malicious, but impersonate himself as Chairman of the Congress of Northern Nigerian Christians (CNNC). Although he has apologized for his falsehood by the said publication and has verbally retracted his claims, and the CNNC has equally denied him of being their Chairman, it is important to set the records straight. However, because he has apologized to CAN leadership, he has been forgiven in the spirit of Christ as recorded in Matthew 6:14-15.
The meeting ended with the entire house passing a VOTE OF CONFIDENCE IN THE CAN PRESIDENT, HIS EMINENCE, REV DR SAMSON AYOKUNLE and urging him to forge ahead with his good work in CAN.

APC Was Formed To Defraud Nigerians - Atiku
Joining APC Was A Regretful Decision- Atiku
November 24, 2018
Presidential candidate for the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 elections, Atiku Abubakar has said that it was a mistake joining APC.
The former Vice President who defected to the PDP from APC was speaking at a town hall meeting in Adamawa state and he said her regretted the role he played in bringing APC to power considering the suffering the Nigerian people had been subjected to
“I regretted being a part of the party which never deemed it fit to fulfil all of the promises it made to Nigerians.” Atiku said.
He accused the party of failing to fulfil its promises to Nigerians.
“If I had known that the APC would be such a colossal failure and disgrace, I would never had joined the party.
“The APC has failed to fulfill even one of the promises it made to Nigerians. The APC is simply an assembly meant to defraud Nigerians.” he added.
Atiku was adamant that Nigeria needs liberation now as he was unsure that the country can survive another four years of APC rule and that the country needs to be saved now.
Atiku has earlier spoken about the ‘Battle for the soul of Nigeria’, when he told people not to wish him a happy birthday and rather use the time to reflect on the nation and how it could get better.

Buhari Is Insensitive to the on-going Killings in Nigeria - PDP
November 25, 2018
Press Statement
PDP Challenges Buhari to A One-on-One With Atiku...Berates President for Abandoning His Troops
Ahead of the 2019 presidential election, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has challenged President Muhammadu Buhari to a live, one-on-one debate with its Presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, on critical sectors of our national life.
The PDP also berates President Buhari for neglecting our troops fighting in the North East and reneging on his promise to “lead the fight from the front”, resulting in the vulnerability and killing of our soldiers by insurgents.
Nigerians are aware that President Buhari has been mortally afraid of facing our candidate, Atiku Abubakar, in a general debate organized by independent bodies. For this, the PDP grants him the liberty to choose a venue, date and time convenient to him to face our candidate before a neutral panel.
President Buhari must face Atiku Abubakar in person, as Nigerians are not ready to accept any representation, whosoever, from him. If, as a Commander-In-Chief, Mr President cannot face a political debate, how then can he vigorously engage international competitors?
Nigerians can now see why our nation has been under peril in the last three and half years.
President Buhari should be ready to face his failures and avail Nigerians of his sectoral performance scorecards, as well as, present his future blueprint, if any, to enable the electorate weigh him alongside our Presidential candidate.
Mr. President should explain why he has been insensitive to the killing of citizens and soldiers by marauders and insurgents, particularly, given allegations that he has been distracting the Armed forces by dragging them to participate in his re-election campaign.
Nigerians recall that at the time our troops were being attacked by insurgents, our Service Chiefs were attending the launch of President Buhari’s “Next Level” campaign mantra, stolen from a foreign institute.
Nigerians await President Buhari to answer for the humongous corruption in his administration; why he has failed to fulfill any of his 2015 campaign promises and why he cannot show any key development project he initiated and completed in his three and half years in office.
President Buhari must be ready to face the over 40 million Nigerians who lost their jobs and millions more whose businesses have folded up due to his incompetence and harsh economic policies. He must face the victims of human rights violations, extra-judicial killings, illegal arrests and arbitrary detention under his administration.
President Buhari came to power through false promises and propaganda. Now, the day of reckoning has come and he cannot run away from his failures.
On our part, our candidate is ready to face President Buhari, one-on-one. He has his scorecard in governance and his blueprint for national rebirth; wealth creation, youth empowerment and building a prosperous nation, which has become dominant among the aspirations of Nigerians.

Press Statement
PDP Celebrates Jonathan @61
…Describes Former President as Pillar of Democracy
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) felicitates with former President and celebrated Icon of Democracy, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, as he clocks the age of 61 years.
The party describes Dr. Jonathan as a pillar of contemporary Nigeria democracy, whose patriotism and personal sacrifices ensured the unity, stability and corporate existence of our dear nation, particularly given the circumstances of the 2015 general elections.
Dr. Jonathan remains a true Nigerian leader, whose administration is known, not only for good governance and landmark development projects across the nation, but also for the entrenchment of democratic values, rule of law, equity and justice, respect for separation of power and constitutionally guaranteed rights of citizens as well as engendering harmonious coexistence of all interests in our nation.
In all, President Jonathan amply demonstrated that the true essence of leadership and statesmanship is the application of the virtues, opportunities and authority therein for the good of others rather than self, and for that our party and indeed Nigerians celebrate him.
The PDP therefore joins family members, associates and well-wishers at large in celebrating Dr. Jonathan as he attains this milestone and prays that God will continue to keep him in good health and sound mind as he gives himself to the service of our dear fatherland.

Osinbajo Is a Pastor Only By Name - Fani-Kayode
VICE PRESIDENT YEMI OSINBAJO: A PASTOR ONLY BY NAME.
No matter how hard he tries to make it look as if it is no big deal and no matter how much he ignores it and tries to brush it under the carpet, the 5.8 billion naira scandal in which the House of Representatives have indicted Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for theft, larceny, diversion, misapplication and misappropiation will not go away.
No matter how much he tries to wash himself with his self-righteous soap and brush, the filthy stench of corruption and abuse of office will never leave him.
No matter how many open markets he visits in a blaze of publicity and in a desperate attempt to prove that he is a man of the people, the bloated flies that customarily trail filth, garbage, open sewers and rejected goods will continue to follow him and raise fundamental questions about his infantile claim to holiness, infallibility and sainthood.
Some have erroneously argued that Osinbajo could not have stolen the 5.8 billion or indulged in any form of wrongdoing because he is a Pastor.
They also claim that the grievous, unproven and outrageous allegations that he has made against President Goodluck Jonathan, President Olusegun Obasanjo, the late President Umaru Yar'adua and indeed every single PDP-controlled Federal Government that was in power over the 16 years before our nation was afflicted with the Buhari plague and APC contagion three years ago must also be true, again because he is a Pastor.
On both counts this is not only an intellectually lazy cotention but it is also pure hogwash. I say this because Osinbajo is far from being what many think he is. His conduct over the last three years has proved that conclusively.
As far as I am concerned he is a Pastor only in name. In my view he is not a Pastor but an eager accomplice, common sidekick and ever-ready man-Friday to the most hated, despised, compromised, dishonest, brutal, divisive, incompetent, cruel and evil dictator that Nigeria has ever known.
I say this because no real Pastor would do what he has done over the last three years and neither would any tolerate or participate in the evil that his boss and their government have unleashed on the Nigerian peole since they came to power.
Pastors see evil for what it is and fight it openly. Failing that they at least shun and condemn it. They certainly do not espouse it, enjoy it, wallow in it, encourage it, support it and thrive in its commission.
They do not point fingers at the innocent and accuse them falsely and neither do they eulogise or deify the corrupt. They are not deceitful cowards who have sold their souls to the devil for cheap political gain, filthy lucre and a morsel at the tyrant's table.
The truth is that it irritates me to no end when some refer to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo as a Pastor. It is like referring to Judas Iscariot as a disciple of Jesus Christ or Rasputin as the Pope.
The Bible says "thou shall know them by their fruits". It says "the devil presents itself as an angel of light". It speaks of "wolves in sheep's clothing". It talks about "shepherds that feed on the carcasses of their own flock".
Osinbajo is a fake Pastor in the same way that Judas was a fake disciple and Rasputin was a fake priest. Like Judas and Rasputin he was secretly planted amongst the disciples and in the Church by satan.
When you speak of Pastors you are referring to holy and selfless men who lift up, inspire and encourage others, who are filled with compassion and love, who are called to ministry by the Living God and who are deeply courageous and strong.
These are tried and tested men and women who are filled with the power of the Holy Spirit and the light of God. These are men and women that are driven by the quest for righteousness, justice and equity and who have no fear of tyrants, bullies or the agents of the devil.
These are men and women who despise evil, wickedness and injustice and who support and assist the suffering, the deprived, the wounded, the afflicted, the persecuted and the poor.
These are men and women that speak truth to power and that give wicked rulers and heartless men of wealth and power sleepless nights.
These are men and women that have successfully passed through the furnace of affliction, who have mastered their calling, who are clean-spirited, who are committed to spreading the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ fearlessly and who do not steal, kill, lie, bear false witness, falsely accuse, compromise with evil or seek to destroy their fellow human beings.
When we talk about Pastors we are talking about a rare and special breed of people who are committed to humanity, self-discipline and the work of God and who have chosen to answer the highest and most noble calling.
We are talking about men and women like the late Bishop Ajayi Crowther, the late Archbishop Benson Idahosa, the late Apostle Ayo Babalola, the late Rev. Timothy Obadare, Bishop David Oyedepo, Prophet T.B. Joshua, Pastor Paul Adefarasin, Pastor David Ibiyeomie, Dr. Paul Enenche, Bishop David Abioye, Bishop Mike Okonkwo, Pastor Enoch Adeboye, Apostle Samson Suleiman, Dr. B.O. Ezekiel, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, Rev. Samson Ayokunle, Dr. Daniel Olukoya, Bishop Matthew Hassan Kukah, Archbishop Jasper Akinola, Bishop Emmanuel Gbonigi, Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Prophet Emmanuel Kobe, Pastor Rhoda Awiliki, Pastor Solomon Kayode Anjorin, Pastor Bayo Oladeji, Dr. Israel Akanji, Pastor Emmanuel Omata and so many others.
When we are talking about Pastors we are not talking about hopelessly compromised and morally challenged charlatans and crooked politicians like Osinbanjo who consistently attempt to defend the indefensible, who thrive on perfidy and falsehood, who tell one hundred lies a day, who indulge in the most outrageous and brazen acts of corruption, who persecute the innocent, who collude with evil and bloodthirsty men, who encourage the perpetuation and commission of barbarity and wickedness, who turn a blind eye when lives are being destroyed, who refuse to raise their voices when innocent blood is being shed, who speak from both sides of their mouths and who encourage mass murder, genocide and ethnic cleansing.
No matter how hard he tries to make it look as if it is no big deal and no matter how much he ignores it and tries to brush it under the carpet, the 5.8 billion naira scandal in which the House of Representatives have indicted Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for theft, larceny, diversion, misapplication and misappropiation will not go away.

Debt Profile: Osinbajo is making false claim - PDP
November 13, 2018
Press Statement
False Debt Claim: Osinbajo, Stop Bandying Figures, Show Your Score Card - PDP
…Says VP’s Federalism Declarations Hypocritical
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has for the umpteenth time cautioned Vice President Prof. Yemi Osinbajo to stop ridiculing his office by always bandying figures, peddling rumours and trending on false claims in the attempt to cover the rot and failures of the Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
Instead of juggling figures, making false claims about the nation’s debt profile and playing to the camera, Prof. Osinbajo is challenged to present to Nigerians, the empty scorecard of APC failed administration, for which President Muhammadu Buhari has now lost his carriage as a leader.
It is already a settled fact that the nation’s debt profile escalated under the profligate, uncreative and incompetent Buhari administration, which crippled our once robust economy, pushed it into recession, turned our nation from a growing economy to a debtor country and world’s poverty capital.
Despite being busted, Vice President Osinbajo is labouring to deceive Nigerians by converting domestic borrowings in Naira, under the APC, to US dollars, so that the very high exchange rate will make it look smaller in dollars. This is despite verified figures even from agencies of Government showing an accumulation of 29.6% debt under Buhari as against the 20.14% under the Yar’Adua and Jonathan administration and the 0.44 % under the Obasanjo administration.
Nigerians are therefore alarmed that Osinbajo, as a Professor of Law, cannot guarantee productivity, credibility, transparency and honesty in governance, but has rather allowed himself to be turned into a vendor of propaganda and false claims for a corrupt administration, now hanging on straws.
Prof. Osinbajo is reminded that he is the head of Buhari’s bungling economic team and should therefore, not in anyway, parade himself as if he has no blame at all in the manifest failures of this administration.
What Prof. Osinbajo has refused to come to terms with is that Nigerians already know that the Buhari administration, wherein he is a major actor, is the most corrupt in the history of our nation and that no amount of concealments, propaganda and false claims can erase that fact.
Furthermore, Nigerians are no longer swayed by Prof. Osinbajo’s homilies and lip service to fiscal federalism, which he is now mouthing, just because the 2019 general election is around the corner.
Instead of lending himself to be used to beguile Nigerians, Prof. Osinbajo should use the remaining days of the discredited APC administration to advise himself and President Buhari on life after office, especially as leaders, who manifestly failed their people, when they trusted them the most.

Good Success In Your Mouth - Pastor Prince
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night…For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
Joshua 1:8
- NOVEMBER 10 -
GOOD SUCCESS IS IN YOUR MOUTH
I had always wondered why the Torah (the first five books of Moses) is read out loud by the Jews. Then, a Jewish Christian told me that for generations, they read God’s Word out loud because of Joshua 1:8—“This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night.”
The word “meditate” in English means to ponder. But in Hebrew, it is the word hagah, which means to utter or mutter under your breath. In other words, when you meditate on God’s Word, you speak forth or confess His Word instead of just giving it mental assent.
My friend, hagah God’s Word by confessing verses in the areas that you are believing God for breakthroughs. When I was working in sales, I confessed verses like, “Honor the Lord with your possessions, and with the firstfruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty” (Proverbs 3:9–10). In the first year, I became the top salesman in my company! My way was made prosperous and I enjoyed good success.
“Pastor Prince, I am waiting for God to make my way prosperous.”
No, the Bible says that you will make your way prosperous when you hagah God’s Word. So speak forth verses in the areas which you want to see breakthroughs and you will have good success.
Some people have success that destroys them—you don’t see them in church anymore and their family members don’t get to see them either. That is bad success. But when you hagah God’s Word, you will have good success that does not destroy you.
Now, confessing God’s Word does not move God to do things for you. It is not a formula. God had already moved when He gave up Jesus to die for you. However, when you confess His Word, it moves you from a position of doubt to faith. It moves your heart from a position of “Is it true?” to “I believe it!” When that happens, “you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success”!

REPS INDICT OSINBAJO IN N33BN CORRUPTION SCANDAL
SHOCKING!!! Reps Indict Osinbajo In N33billion Corruption Scandal – Full Details
dailyadvent.com Nov 9, 2018
The House of Representatives Committee on Emergency and Disaster Preparedness, has indicted Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, and accused him of illegally approving N5.8 billion North-East Intervention Fund, which the Lawmakers said was mismanaged by the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA).
The Committee also called for the sack of the Director-General of NEMA, Mustapha Maihaja, for alleged fraud, corruption, and embezzlement of N33 billion Emergency Intervention fund.
The House Committee, held a public hearing four months ago, on the alleged breach of public trust by NEMA.
The report, whose recommendations were based on findings from a thorough investigation by the Hon Ali Isa J.C House Committee on Emergency and Disaster Preparedness, was adopted by the lawmakers.
The House noted that the authorisation of the release of the fund for emergency food intervention of food security in the North East contravenes Section 80(4) of the 1999 Constitution as amended states that, “No money shall be withdrawn from the Consolidated Revenue Fund or any other public fund of the federation, except in the manner prescribed by the National Assembly”.
The lawmakers agreed that the authorization granted for the withdrawal of such huge sum of money from the Consolidated Revenue Fund Account was highly flawed and had infractions on Section 80(2) of the Constitution and Section (2) of the Procurement Act, as well as provisions of the Appropriation Act, did not follow due process as taxes and interest accruable to the government were not deducted or remitted to FIRS and no meeting held by the Federal Executive Council to approve the contracts.
Furthermore, the funds were credited directly to the individual banks of the companies and NEMA bank account, a violation of the approval limit allowed by law. Out of the N5.8 billion, NEMA got N829, 026, 456 for logistics and claimed it spent N369.5 million on general logistics, N189 million on branding and packaging, N248.6 million on branding and packaging and N21.9 million on contingency.
They, therefore, called for the dismissal and prosecution of the director general of NEMA, Engr Mustapha Maihaja over fraud, corruption and embezzlement of N33 billion Emergency Intervention Fund, as well as all the government officials involved in the approval, processing, release and diversion of the fund; that the Central Bank of Nigeria, being a banker to the federal government should not have been involved in giving loans to private companies and as such, ahould be investigated for the N2 billion loan said to have been given to four named companies.
The Committee’s investigation into Breach of Trust In NEMA covered the following aspects:
(1) Release of N5, 865, 671, 389 and N3, 153, 000, 000. 00 emergency food intervention of food security in the North East in 2017 (2)6, 779 metric tonnes of rice donated by the Chinese government to IDPs in the North East (3)Payment of about N800 million demurrage on the donated rice (4) over 10 billion naira, being 20 percent statutory ecological funds released between January 2017 to February 2018 to NEMA (5)Federal Government’s N1, 600, 000, 000to 16 states in July 2017 for Flood intervention(6) Over N1.6 billion released to NEMA for evacuation of Nigerians stranded in Libya in 2017 and other ancilliary issues; N33 billion naira was lost by the federal government due to Maihaja’s mismanagement and outright embezzlement of funds. The House, therefore, asked President Muhammadu Buhari to relieve the director general of NEMA of his duties and hand him over to relevant authorities for prosecution.
They also called on the relevant agencies to conduct further investigation on NEMA, Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Budget and National Planning in order for them to account for the 6, 779 metric tonnes of rice donated by the Chinese government for the benefit of IDPs in Nigeria but was never done.

Lai Mohammed N3.5m Feeding Claim An Insult on El-Zakzaky - Shittes
LAI MOHAMMED N3.5M FEEDING CLAIM AN INSULT ON EL-ZAKZAKY, SAYS SHIITES
The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) said it considers the statement made by information minister Lai Mohammed, that the government spends about N3.5 million on a monthly basis to feed its leader Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky as an insult.
Mohammed had in a video said the cost of feeding Shiite leader runs over three million Naira since he has being in detention in December 2015.
“We consider the statement of the Minister of information as an insult to the personality of our leader. We advise the Minister to desist from involving the Sheikh in his unfortunate lies and for once tell Nigerians the actual truth that the government does not spend such amount on Sheikh Zakzaky,” IMN spokesman Ibrahim Musa said in a statement.
Musa alleged that the minister’s claim was a ‘grand deception’ of President Buhari led-administration to present ‘a human face’ after it brutally slaughtered more than one thousand innocent and defenseless civilians in Zaria in December 2015.
“This clearly shows that some security officers are looting public funds under the guise of keeping the Sheikh under ‘protective custody’ which a federal high court in Abuja has since declared illegal under the constitution.”
“This same government had also told the world through the Federal High Court in Abuja that the Sheikh didn’t do anything wrong, but they shot him and the wife and all the atrocities were only to protect him. The Court was not convinced and so ordered that he should be set free. The government reneged,” he said
The group’s spokesman also pleaded with the government to free El-Zakzaky to enable him to seek medical treatment abroad considering his age and poor health condition.
“We reiterate our call for the government to free Sheikh Zakzaky to enable him to seek medical treatment abroad,” Musa said.

PDP Asks NIA DSS, INTERPOL to Arrest Oshiomhole
November 8, 2018
Press Statement
Corruption: PDP Urges NIA, DSS, Interpol to Track Oshiomhole
…Mocks APC For Habouring Corrupt Persons
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) charges the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) and INTERPOL to help track down the factional National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, believed to be on the run outside the country since his reported interrogation by the Department of State Services (DSS) over alleged corruption charges.
The party notes that Adams Oshiomhole’s swift flight out of the country, at the heat of the investigation, is suspect and goes to confirm allegations that the Muhammadu Buhari Presidency is shielding him from prosecution for fear that his investigation would implicate certain interests at the Presidency and the APC.
It is ludicrous that the APC, in its lying proclivities, believes that by dismissing Oshiomhole’s arrest as a rumour and aiding him to momentarily flee the country, it would succeed in getting him off the DSS hook as well as sweeping the matter out of public discourse with its famished broom.
No! Nigerians are already aware that Oshiomhole has not denied his investigation including his reported confession that the Presidency was in the loop of all his actions.
The PDP had always cautioned Adams Oshiomhole of his unbridled arrogance, lust for power and alleged embezzlement of public funds for which he must surely have his day in the hands of the law.
The PDP therefore demands that APC and the Buhari Presidency must immediately produce Adams Oshiomhole to face investigation and prosecution in our courts.

BUHARI: How WAEC Breaks Its' Own Rule!
BUHARI: WAEC Breaks Its Own Rule
On Friday, Uyi Uwadiale, registrar, West African Examinations Council (WAEC), presented an attestation of result to President Muhammadu Buhari.
Uwadiae handed the result to Buhari at the presidential villa, Abuja.
The failure of the president to submit his West African School Certificate (WASC) to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as part of the requirements to contest the 2019 presidential election had sparked criticisms.
Femi Adesina, presidential spokesman, had said the military lost Buhari’s certificate. This necessitated the issuing of attestation of result.
However, the registrar’s action is contrary to the rules of the council, according to information available on the frequently asked question (FAQ) section of WAEC website.
The exam body says it does not hand over certificates to candidates but directly to the institution or establishments which candidates want to provide with the information, and in Buhari’s case, that institution is INEC.
Question 18 on the FAQ section reads: “Does WAEC replace lost certificates?”, to which the council replied “No. Instead it issues statements of result to the owners of lost certificates or, when necessary, confirms their results for a fee.”
Explaining the process and requirements on how one can process a confirmation of result, WEC added: “Confirmed results are not handed over to candidates. They are sent direct to the institutions/establishments which candidates want to provide with the information.”

What I Say
November 3, 2018
"For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; HE SHALL HAVE WHATSOEVER HE SAITH" (Mark 11:23).
Let's examine what Jesus said in today's text: "...and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe (that is, believe in his heart) that those things which he saith shall come to pass..." Those things that you say are your words - your confessions - and those words give you power over demons, disease, and circumstances.
What is it Jesus says you shall have? What you believe for? No. Many people think, If I believe strongly enough, it will come to pass. But at the same time, they are talking unbelief, so what they are asking for cannot come to pass!
Jesus did not say, "He shall have whatsoever he BELIEVETH;" He said, "...he shall have whatsoever he SAITH."
For you do receive what you say. If you're not satisfied with what you have in life, then check up on what you are saying - what you are confessing. All you have and all you are today is a result of what you believed and said yesterday!
Confession: I believe in my heart. I believe in my words.

2019: El-Rufai Chooses a Female Runningmate
El-Rufai chooses Hadiza Balarabe as running mate
Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has announced the selection of Dr. Hadiza Balarabe as his running mate for the 2019 general election. The choice of Dr. Hadiza Balarabe as running mate continues Malam Nasir El-Rufai’s deliberate policy of promoting women. There are five female commissioners in his 14-person cabinet, a feat not attained even by governors that had much larger cabinets. This is the first time in the history of Kaduna State that a major political party will select a woman as running mate.
The incumbent Deputy Governor, Arc. Barnabas Yusuf Bala, has opted to go to the National Assembly and has since emerged as the APC’s candidate for the southern Kaduna senatorial district.
Dr. Hadiza Balarabe is the current Executive Secretary of the Kaduna State Primary Health Care Development Agency, a position she has held since February 2016. In that role she has overseen the Kaduna State Government’s programme to revitalise and strengthen primary health care as the core of health service delivery in the state.

Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai has announced the selection of Dr. Hadiza Balarabe as his running mate for the 2019 general election. The choice of Dr. Hadiza Balarabe as running mate continues Malam Nasir El-Rufai’s deliberate policy of promoting women. There are five female commissioners in his 14-person cabinet, a feat not attained even by governors that had much larger cabinets. This is the first time in the history of Kaduna State that a major political party will select a woman as running mate.
The incumbent Deputy Governor, Arc. Barnabas Yusuf Bala, has opted to go to the National Assembly and has since emerged as the APC’s candidate for the southern Kaduna senatorial district.
Dr. Hadiza Balarabe is the current Executive Secretary of the Kaduna State Primary Health Care Development Agency, a position she has held since February 2016. In that role she has overseen the Kaduna State Government’s programme to revitalise and strengthen primary health care as the core of health service delivery in the state. Under her watch, the state is renovating and equipping 255 primary health centres with tools to assist better antenatal services and safer delivery. The agency has also helped expand vaccine coverage to protect children across the state.

Tinubu In the Gutter of Illusion - Fani- Kayode
"Bola Tinubu's propensity for speaking garbage and his self-induced delusions never cease to amaze me. Can he, by any stretch of the imaginatiin, compare himself to Atiku? He is free to continue wallowing in the gutter of illusion and swimming in the sewer of deceit.
He should also bury his head in shame for the mess he and his party have plunged our nation into over the last three years. We are being led by a bunch of compulsive liars and callous looters and a conciousless cabal of the deaf, dumb, blind and depraved.
In four months time they will be stripped naked, rejected and voted out of power and after that they will pay a heavy price for the injustice, hardship and wickedness that they have subjected the Nigerian people to"

Fani-Kayode Asks Nigerians to Clap for Buhari and Tinubu. See his reasons
"88 million Nigerians live in extreme poverty. 1.1 million Nigerians slipped into extreme poverty in the last 4 months. 12 million Nigerians lost their jobs in the last 3 years. Nigeria borrowed more money in the last 3 years than in the previous 50 with nothing to show for it. More Nigerians have been butchered and killed in cold blood by security forces, terrorist groups and armed militias in the last 3 years than at any other time in our history other than during the civil war. Clap for Buhari and Tinubu"
