Ohanaeze Begs Igbos To Vote In 2019 General Election

The President General  of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Chief Nnia Nwodo has begged the Igbos to vote  in 2019 General and avoid anything that will make  Federal government to send another Operation Python Dance.

Cautioning Ndigbo, especially the youths, against falling for the antics of anyone or groups that would want to incite them, the President General said his position has been that Nigerians are better together. He said considering the investments the Igbo have made in the country; they would not have a better deal in such conflagration.

“Four zones out of the six in the country have set the agenda for restructuring. I appeal to our people to go out and vote during the election because your warfare is your vote,” he said.

Earlier, Chairman of IWA, which boasts of membership in 37 countries, Chief Nwachukwu Anakwenze, said the group would mobilise Ndigbo and other Nigerians for the elections.

Anakwenze said their support for any political party would be based on the position of such party in the restructure debate and rule of law.

“We are happy that the ball is set for another election and, among other things, we demand a debate by the presidential candidates to enable the electorate make informed choices,” he said.

SHOCKER!!! APC Guber Candidate in Gay Scandal, Reportedly R@pes Young Boys (Photos)

SHOCKER!!! APC Guber Candidate in Gay Scandal, Reportedly R@pes Young Boys (Photos)

The struggle for relevance Ahead of the 2019 governorship election in Sokoto state has taken a disturbing twist as the Sultan of Sokoto and other major religious leaders have reportedly rose strongly against the candidacy of the All Progressives Congress in the state, Alhaji Ahmed Aliyu over allegations of Homosexuality.

Aliyu who is currently the Deputy Governor of Sokoto refused to defect alongside his principal, Governor Aminu Waziri who was the runner up in the just concluded People’s Democratic Party Presidential Primaries is the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in the state.

IGBERE TV learnt that the APC candidate is a chronic homosexual and his candidacy is backed by his alleged homosexual partner ‘Boyfriend’, the former governor of the state, Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko popularly called Aluu and this development is not going down well with many political and religious leaders in the state.

A former close aide of Alhaji Aliyu who spoke to LeadersNG said everyone close to the former governor knows that Aliyu is oga’s girlfriend and he recruits young boys for him. He further stated that the APC guber candidate lure young boys into homosexuality with gifts, cars and cash and it is a well known fact in Sokoto state. The sourec also said there are cases of even rape of young boys against the APC candidate which was secretly settled by elders.

IGBERE TV understands that the Nigerian law forbids Homosexuality and the bill criminalizes same-sex relationships.

The bill which was passed by the National Assembly and subsequently signed into law by former President Jonathan in 2014 contains penalties of up to 14 years in prison.

The bill bans gay marriage, same-sex and membership of gay rights groups.

In the bill, Persons who enter into a same-sex marriage contract or civil union commit an offence and are each liable on conviction to a term of 14 years in prison.

“Any person who registers, operates or participates in gay clubs, societies and organisations or directly or indirectly makes public show of same-sex amorous relationship in Nigeria commits an offence and shall each be liable on conviction to a term of 10 years in prison.”

Sokoto state is said to be the seat of the Caliphate and is being regarded as the spiritual headquarters of the Islamic faithfuls in Nigeria.

“It is really embarrassing for us to be hearing about disgraceful thing like this in Sokoto. We are known and revered all over the country as people with class, dignity and modesty.” – a member of the Caliphate told LeadersNG correspondent in Sokoto”.

IGBERE TV further learnt that the former governor whose political progeny and gay partner is the candidate of APC, is in the habit of recruiting young boys into homosexual activities, a menace that the Caliphate is seriously fighting to curb.

The Sultan IGBERE TV learned, has instructed religious leaders in the state to openly condemn and preach against homosexuality in their various mosques and other places of worship and subtly preach against the APC candidate.

It was also gathered that former governor -Wamakko has corrupted so many of the young people in Sokoto state as he buys expensive cars, jewelries and sponsors many on holidays outside the country.

Statistics have shown that Northern Nigeria has the highest rate of Child abuse, sodomy and Homosexuality activities in the entire country. The report says that Politicians and highly placed individuals in Northern Nigeria are largely involved in the illicit behavior that has left many young Northerners hopeless.

You would recall that NAN had reported About some increasing cases of child abuses by unscrupulous homosexual persons in Maiduguri, Borno State Capital.

The residents told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Maiduguri othat the trend was rampant in the recent times and if left unchecked, it would become a norm in the society.

The report further stated that those who commit such delinquent acts on minors and others always get away with their crimes unpunished because of the influence they wield in the society.

“This unpleasant tendency should not be allowed to remain unchecked if we want to live in a decent and tolerable society, where standard ethical norms are being obeyed by all.”

Revealed!!!! Why APC Is Scared Of Atiku

Fabiyi Oladimeji is the former chief accountant at Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) headquarters. He is also the national president, Turaki Vanguard and Deputy Director, Contact and Mobilisation of Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation.

He speaks on how the present administration has failed and urged Nigerians to speak with a loud voice and vote out Buhari next year.

FORMER VICE PRESIDENT, ATIKU ABUBAKAR HAS CONTESTED FOR THE PRESIDENCY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHY DO YOU THINK HE REALLY WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT?

If there is something you can’t take from a man, it’s their passion for something. I ask, why do people change jobs? Why do you feel you have to be working? Simply because you want to live a better life, live well. So you cannot really take it away from him. Atiku is very passionate about Nigeria.

At some point, they said this country has done a lot for him. He was an orphan at 14. No father, no mother and then he went to school through scholarship of those days in the northern region. The country gave him a lot. He studied law, diploma level at ABU. He went to the modern elementary schools and he went into customs.

He was recruited by the Nigerian Police and posted to customs service. He rose to the level of the deputy comptroller of customs. He believes this country has done alotforhimandhehastogivebacktothe country. For him and those of us that are close to him, it’s not about desperation, but about patriotism and passion to help the country move forward.

MONEY ALLEGEDLY CHANGED HANDS IN THE PRIMARY ELECTION IN PORT HARCOURT AND IT TRENDED IN THE SOCIAL MEDIA THAT ATIKU DOLED OUT DOLLARS TO SECURE THAT POSITION. IS THAT CORRECT?

Before I go into the details of that, where on earth do you have politics without money? Even in America, Britain, there is a way they play it and money plays a vital role. Who does not spend money? I’m just surprised the way the opposition were talking about it. Can they clearly come out and say they didn’t spend money during their primary election?

There are some logistic requirements that you have to spend money on. You have to spend money on media, transporting your people from their place to the venue of the convention. You would have to take care of their accommodation, feeding and welfare generally. That was the money and you can’t run away from that as an aspirant.

NOT MONEY TO BUY DELEGATES?

No. I don’t know where that is coming from. We knew when that happened. We experienced that in 2014 during the APC primaries. I was a key player and I knew what happened there, but this PDP convention, let me tell you two things that played out here: Nigerians and the PDP members understood the fact that they have to get it right and by getting it right means there must be a level playing field. They must be able to choose right and ahead of time, they saw Atiku as somebody that has the capacity, the will to take up this challenge.

So it was so easy for them when they got to the convention ground to freely choose their preferred candidate and that was exactly what they did. Who didn’t spend money, Tambuwal spent money to bring his delegates to that place, Saraki spent money, and so did Atiku. But these are logistics requirements that you need to put in place to make sure that your delegates who are going to vote for you are comfortable and are well taken care of.

WHY DO YOU THINK FORMER PRESIDENT OBASANJO HAVE SUCH DISDAIN FOR ATIKU?

Human beings cannot always agree at every point in time. I guess that’s what has been playing out between Atiku and Obasanjo. I wouldn’t know if there is any problem because I have asked Atiku, he said as far as he’s concerned, he has not done anything wrong and he doesn’t have problem with the former president.

So maybe the former President had problem with him and he expects that even if that happens, as men that have worked together before, they should be able to trash out that. Beyond that, I think the way Nigeria is going now, everybody has to come together to rescue this nation. We must be united to ensure that this country is rescued at this point in time. It’s so bad that we are not united. It’s so bad that we are not united and having a lot of challenges due to the failure and incapacity of the present administration. Everybody has to come together now, so I am expecting that to happen because former President Obasanjo loves this country and can do anything to make sure this country succeeds.

PEOPLE SEEM TO HAVE TURNED OBASANJO TO A TIN GOD. YOU CANNOT BE PRESIDENT WITHOUT GOING TO OBASANJO. WHY WON’T ATIKU LEAVE OBASANJO ALONE?

In every country, we have people that are referred to as establishment. We have them in the US. The Kennedys, Clintons. We have them too in Nigeria and Obasanjo is an establishment in this country. People may not want to agree with me, but it is the fact.

If you want to be Nigeria’s President, you have every reason to go on consultation. He’s a former president. Two time former president, head of state and military. You need to consult people like that; if not for anything, their guidance, wisdom or for support and President Buhari did the same thing despite their differences. You would agree with me that they had their differences; they were never friends, but when it was time for him to go, he went there to visit. I don’t see anything wrong with that. In addition to that, he was his former boss. When you listen to his acceptance speech, he paid tribute to Obasanjo because if not for this man, probably I wouldn’t have gotten here. Atiku wanted to be governor and Obasanjo said come up and made him Vice President, placed him on that national and global map. He owes Obasanjo that; apart from that, they are both my leaders.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU KNOWN ATIKU?

My first contact with him was in 2001, then I had already resumed as the chief accountant at the headquarters of the party and I remember him as one of those leaders that always listen to us as a party, when we have issues we go to him, he will advice, guide and say let it go this way. There was a very cordial relationship between him and his boss at that time.

I started picking interest in him because two things were very dear to his heart and I discovered those early. It was his passion about youth development and development of the country generally. You could see that during his time as the Vice President. Then he had this ability to identify talent. The very first day he saw me, he said you are a leader in the making. I don’t know where that came from but that was the first thing he told me and since then we have had this relationship, he encourages me and gives assignments that challenges me.

I got to this point today because of things like that. You feel you cannot do it but by the time you get there, you’ll work extra hard and he’s a man who is always result oriented. So when you come back and you perform, he will encourage you to do more even if you didn’t really measure up.

I am proud to be supporting Atiku; he has been a wonderful mentor to me and to some of us who have been around him. He listens to you even when you have a contrary view, he won’t shout, instead he listens. He told me one day that if ‘I cannot learn from you whether you are my age mate, older or younger than me, then, you have no business around me if you can’t up your game.’

WE HEAR THAT ATIKU WAS INVOLVED IN SOME CRIMINAL CASES IN THE US. HOW TRUE? CAN HE VISIT UNITED STATES?

This question has been coming up several times and my view is why Atiku can’t visit America? There is a treaty that exists between the Nigerian and American government. If Atiku is wanted in America, because of this bilateral treaty between both countries, Atiku would have been arrested.

Apart from that, a request was sent to the US department of state on whether there was a criminal case against Atiku Abubakar and they said ‘we have no criminal record or case against Atiku.’ Again, if Atiku is afraid of going to the United States, would he have applied for visa on three occasions? Somebody who is afraid of getting arrested won’t apply.

REMEMBER ATIKU WAS WITH BUHARI, WHAT IS ATIKU BRINGING THAT BUHARI HAS NOT BROUGHT TO NIGERIA?

It was full of deceit. It was later we realised that they were deceiving Nigerians. They don’t even have blueprints. They don’t have capacity. This present government has shown that they lack the capacity to fix this country. If you are in a position of power, you are meant to fix things. At that time, they reached out to Atiku to support them with his own economic blueprint, which he did. But because of internal politics, they could not do much with it. The fear of Atiku is the beginning of political wisdom in Nigeria. Atiku has no problem with the grassroots of this country, it’s just few elites that always conspire so that he won’t get there and to God be the glory, that hurdle has been crossed.

So they reached out and he did, but in their caucus there, those referred to as the cabals went to meet President and said if you implement Atiku’s economic blueprint, he’s going to get more money to fight you. They tried to crumble the man’s economy. Who told them that when they do that Atiku wouldn’t be able to finance his election?

How much did President Buhari have when he was running? God brought people like Atiku to come and support him financially. He came out and said he doesn’t even have money to buy forms. Now Atiku is coming to fix the economy. He will do those things they don’t have the capacity to do, and he has come up with a four point agenda which is called Jobs and Employment Opportunities for the younger generation to excel, Being United and Security (JOBS) and in addition to that, he talked about restructuring.

Federal Government has no business in agriculture, transportation even education. So just stay with foreign affairs, financial regulations, defence. This is what Atiku is talking about; he knows what it is even as number two when he was Vice President. Another four years of hardship, senseless killings, economic downturn, and poverty would not go well for this country. That is why God has listened to the prayers of Nigerians and gave us Atiku in the PDP.

2019 : Arewa Youths Shock Buhari, Endorse Ex-vice President, Give Reasons

The Arewa Youth Consultative Forum, AYCF, has shocked President Muhammadu Buhari ahead of 2019 General Election by endorsing the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

The President of AYCF, Yerima Shettima revealed  that the emergence of Abubakar as a presidential candidate of the PDP was a good thing for Nigeria.

Speaking with journalists, Shettima also  stressed that the former Vice President should emerge victorious in 2019 because the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari has failed Nigerians.

He vowed to ensure that the current All Progressives Congress, APC-led administration does not stay in office beyond 2019.

Shettima said, “For us in AYCF, we have said it over and over that Buhari’s administration has failed Nigerians and we have passed vote of no confidence on the current administration before now, and to that effect we can’t trust this administration anymore.
We are saying that we demand a total new order and for us, the emergence of Atiku is a good thing for Nigeria and we have to look towards that direction.

“I will canvass other ethnic nationalities and groups to ensure that the tenure of this administration comes to an end.

“We will ensure that Buhari’s administration does not exceed beyond 2019, we will vote them out.”

 

We have records of Buhari’s WASC, Higher Qualifications—-Presidency

ABUJA – THE Presidency last night said it has record of President Muhammadu Buhari’s West African School Certificate, WASC and other higher qualifications obtained by the President.

The President described the alleged plan by the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to drag the President to court as a mere waste of time, adding that the certificate issue has become an old story. A statement by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, in Abuja said, “We have read that the failed Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is going to court to challenge the President’s West African School Certificate (WASC). “This is a waste of time because we have the record of this and of higher qualifications obtained by hard work and truly merited by Mr President. “This certificate story is an old one. As Femi Adesina stated clearly, it is a settled issue in the courts. To approach the court to pursue a matter long settled by the temple of justice is an abuse of the judicial system. It is shameful, disgusting and disgraceful.

Beside, he said the effort would amount to nothing. “It is clear to all at this time that the PDP, facing an imminent humiliating defeat wants to sow division and chaos by seeking the destruction of the institutional structures that support our young democracy. “They are attacking the courts and the police, they are molesting INEC commissioners. They are theatrical in spreading falsehoods against persons including the President. “By doing these, they assume that they can take away attention from the discussions on issues gaining momentum in the country; the issue of internal security which has been jeopardized by years of near-zero investment under 16 years of the PDP; the provision of long-delayed infrastructure which the President is pioneering; corruption to which the PDP is incurably tied and the sustenance of the prevailing good days in the economy, a business-friendly government working day and night, creating more jobs and affordable life for the poor.

Ojukwu’s Widow was advised to Shelve Senatorial ambition to Avoid Disgrace – Obiano’s Aide

A special adviser to Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State, Ifeatu Obi-Okoye, has said that widow of the late leader of the party, Bianca Ojukwu, was advised not to contest the senatorial primary election for Anambra South, but she insisted.

The former publicity secretary of APGA explained that the move was geared towards saving the name of Ojukwu from disgrace in the event that she loses.

He said Bianca was advised not to go into the poll by the hierarchy of APGA to save her and Ojukwu as brand name from embarrassment should the exercise end in the negative.

Obi-Okoye said both privately and public, Ojukwu’s widow was asked not to run but she insisted “to test her popularity”, describing her outing and failure in the poll as unfortunate.

The governor’s aide said Bianca lost to a more experienced politician, Nicholas Ukachukwu, who has severally run for the position of governor of Anambra State and also for Senate.

He said, “It’s regrettable that she contested that election. She should not have. I am sure if our leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, was alive, he would not have allowed her to contest.

“It was unnecessary for Bianca to have run. If you decide to run, you either win or lose. She did not run because she was the widow of Ojukwu, but she run to test her popularity.

“I am not aware she was badly treated in that exercise. Looking at the primary election, the man that won is Ukachukwu. He has been around and has been in the National assembly for Abuja and contested for governor under Hope Democratic party, PDP and ANPP in Anambra State. He is not new in politics.

“It would have been okay if the wife of our leader did not contest at all, so that the question of how she was treated would not have arisen. In this business (politics), it is quite rough and once you come in, you expect anything to happen.

Obi-Okoye added, “On one occasion in my presence, it was the senatorial candidate from Abia South that moved a motion for the wife of our leader to become the vice presidential candidate and everybody accepted that.

“The motion was however, not binding on the BOT of the party or on Bianca, but she stood and opposed it.

“I believed that in asking her to be the vice presidential candidate was a subtle way of telling her not to run.

“We preferred her to play a more nationalistic role. I also know that in a private meeting, Senator Victor Umeh, begged her not to run, but she decided to join the fray and now she is hurt about it, but we hope that soon all will be settled,” Obi-Okoye stated.

Treason: Buhari Rules Out Request for Kanu’s Extradition (SEE Why)

President Muhammadu Buhari may have ruled out the possibility of demanding for the extradition of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, from the UK government to Nigeria to face his treasonable felony trial.

Kanu, who holds a dual citizenship of Nigeria and Britian, was sighted in a short video clip alleged to be during a prayer session at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.

The video recently surfaced on the Internet, more twelve months after Kanu went missing following the alleged invasion of his home in Afara-Ukwu, Umuahia, Abia State by soldiers deployed in the South-East for ‘Operation Python Dance II’ on September 14, 2017.

The IPOB leader had, subsequently after the video clip surfaced on the Internet, threatened in a live broadcast, not to ever submit himself to the trial that was abruptly suspended due to his sudden disappearance since last year.

Also, the UK government reportedly informed the Nigerian government last week of its intention to issue all necessary travel documents to Kanu.

But several sources at the Federal Ministry of Justice, the ministry of the Nigerian government which deals with all extradition issues, informed IGBERE TV that there would be no need to ask UK to send the IPOB leader to Nigeria to face his trial.

One of the sources said, “It is absolutely unnecessary. Remember that there is already an ongoing procedure before the Federal High Court in Abuja where he is being prosecuted to compel his three sureties to produce him in court

By law, the sureties are the custodian of the defendant and one of their core duties is to ensure that the defendant attends his trial.

“So it is left for the sureties to find how they will bring him to court, not minding the defendant’s threat not to again submit himself to the authorities of the court.

“If they fail to bring him to court, at the end of the ongoing process, they must be ready to face the sanctions, including the forfeiture of their individual N100m bail bonds.”

One of the sources, who is familiar with the extradition process, also doubted the possibility of any success of such extradition process because the UK government had not been on the same page with Nigeria on the proscription of IPOB as a terrorist group.

The source stated, “The UK government has said it does not see IPOB as a terrorist organisation contrary to the Nigerian government’s position.

“So you can see the disparity in the stances of the two countries’ positions on the issue.”

Mr. Salihu Isah, the spokesperson for the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Mr. Abubakar Malami, could not be reached for the AGF’s position on the possibility or otherwise of the Federal Government requesting Kanu’s extradition from the UK.

Hearing in the trial of Kanu before Justice Binta Nyako of the Federal High Court in Abuja has been scheduled to resume on November 14.

Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe and others, who stood bail sureties for the IPOB leader in April last year, are expected to return on the said date to show cause why they should not be made to lose their N100m bail bonds which they entered into to secure Kanu’s bail if they are unable to produce him.

Biafra : Nnamdi Kanu Reveals What He Told Buhari on Israeli National Television

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra has revealed what he told the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari on Israeli National Television.

Kanu talked about his incarceration and issues with the federal government.

Nnamdi Kanu said the Nigerian government spurned the demands he made after he was released from prison over a year ago.

In his words

“I told them, that I want them to open Igweocha seaport, Port Harcourt,” Nnamdi Kanu, who leads the Indigenous People of Biafra, said in a message posted to Radio Biafra’s Facebook page on Sunday.

“I ask them to open Calabar seaport and Warri Seaport, I did this in writing and gave it to them, I told them to dredge River Niger, allow the direct international flight to Europe and USA from Enugu, Igweocha and Calabar airport.”

Kanu said he also demanded the release of former Nigerian security adviser Sambo Dasuki and the leader of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and the investigation of “the mass murder of IPOB family members at Onitcha, Nkpor, Aba, Enugu, Igweocha, Umahia and Asaba.”

The IPOB leader also spoke on the group’s demand which is freedom and breakaway from the country Nigeria.

 

Asari Dokubo : Its Biafra Now Or Never

Asari Dokubo : Its Biafra Now Or Nerve


Alhaji Mujahid Dokubo-Asari, the leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Salvation Force, NDPSF, and one of the arrowheads in the struggle to redress perceived injustice in the Niger Delta has said that Biafra will be independent whether some people in the country like it or not.
Dokubo-Asari who said that he is a Biafran and not a Nigerian also said that the current agitation for the sovereign state of Biafra is not a call for war but that “Leave us let us go.”

He said, Like Pharaoh, the Hebrews should be allowed to leave the north, maintaining that anybody who would not let Biafra go will drown in the Red Sea. “They will drown if they pursue us.”


Corroborating what the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had said some days back, Alhaji Dokubo-Asari also said that the current agitation for the sovereign state of Biafra is not a call for war but that of self independence.

Alhaji Asari-Dokubo said, “I’m not a Nigerian. Nations are not imposed on people. People don’t sit down in Berlin or anywhere and make people Nigerians. Nations are created by the will of the people.
My people have never accepted Nigeria and so, how can I be a Nigerian? Nobody can impose Nigeria on me.”

The free will of the people create nations. If everybody gathered together, the Ijaw people, you know which includes the kalabari people, nobody forced the Kalabari people to become Ijaw people, because naturally, they know they are Ijaw people.”
nobody will force an Owerri man, an Nkwere man to be an Igbo person, he naturally knows he is an Igbo person.”


“So, if we want to be Nigerians, then we have to sit down, and decide for ourselves that today, we are going to be, or as separate identities, and accept Nigeria as our country, as our nation and we become Nigerians. We’ve not done that.”

When I go up north, do they see me as a Nigerian? They don’t! They call me ‘Nyamiri.’ They call me Nyamiri! When I go to Yoruba land, do they see me as a Nigerian? They call me ‘Omo Kobokobo.’ That’s what they call me! O

When a Yoruba man goes up north, they call him ‘Oyede Banza.’ When a Fulani man comes up to Yoruba land, what do they call him? They call him Gambari

I used to hear a story that there were about three people in a bus and the driver asked the conductor, how many people were in the bus and the conductor said two persons and one Gambari. He said shut up your mouth, is Gambari not a human being? But the conductor said that is your business o, me I know that in this bus there are two persons and one Gamari.”

Biafra: Nnamdi Kanu reveals what he requested from Buhari, speaks on 2019

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has called for the boycott of the 2019 general  elections.

Kanu said that when he came out from prison, President Muhammadu Buhari asked him what he wanted but he told him that he wanted them to open Igwuocha (Port Harcourt) seaport, Warri seaport, Calabar airport, and dredge River Niger.


Kanu also said he told Buhari that he wanted 100 per cent resource control but never heard from the presidency again.

Kanu also said he told Buhari that he wanted 100 per cent resource control but never heard from the presidency again.

In a live Facebook broadcast aired by the Radio Biafra, Kanu said, “You own the power, you take it back, you can boycott the election and decide what you want. Stand your ground, cripple the 2019 election and see the effects in your life.”

He added , “No restructuring, no elections in 2019, southern leaders.

“All we have asked for is our freedom, but Igbo men, who claim they are politicians brought deaths to us. We have said it time and time again, we want our freedom. Perhaps, some of you are comfortable being slaves, we are not.


“Why do they want me dead? Biafrians should ask them.

“When I came out of prison, I ensured that the activities of Fulani herdsmen were reduced to the barest minimum.

“At no time during the time of Fulani herdsmen terrorism in our land did anybody call for help.

“South East Governors and Ohaneze proscribed IPOB under serious pressure.


“They agreed that Nnamdi Kanu should be killed. Not only me but my men, my father, brothers.

“I said to them, IPOB is here to save Biafra but we are used to it. We are used to the hostility.

“Biafrans are very very special, that is why they hate us.

“Our mothers were humiliated in Owerri and what did Ohaneze do. They laughed at them and said, they went out to protest the whereabouts of Nnamdi Kanu, so it serves them right.


“These are the people, who want us to regard them as leaders.

“Igboland has been shrunk to just five states. If you go to Opobo, if you speak, Ibo, somebody there will understand you. We have indigenous Igbo speaking people in Kogi state but nobody is talking about them. Ohaneze and Igbo leaders are merely interested in furthering their own interests.

“Biafra is older than the zoo called Nigeria.

“I have nothing against Igbo leaders.

“The priorities of some of our leaders are misplaced.

“They adopted Atiku but the same set of people are castigating Obi.

“When I was released from prison, on two occasions, I was approached and told that the president wants me to put in writing, what my requests are asides from outright independence.

You Joined The Army Without Certificate, Nigerian Army Tells Buhari

The Nigeria Army has finally broken its long silence over the educational qualifications of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Candidate, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) by asserting that the retired general actually entered the Army from secondary school.


Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Olajide Laleye, told a crowded press conference on Tuesday that the Army holds General Buhari in high esteem and would not like to be dragged into any controversy concerning the eligibility or otherwise of the retired general to occupy any public office.


Laleye stated, however, that the Army decided to speak now to douse the controversy over-shadowing the politician’s educational qualifications and to halt the avalanche of requests from numerous individuals and corporate bodies to the military asking for the records.

He stated that APC Presidential Candidate was enlisted into the army in 1961 without certificates since he was picked from the secondary school to start military service.


Brigadier General Laleye said: “Records available indicate that Major General Muhammadu Buhari applied to join the military as a Form Six student of the Provincial Secondary School, Katsina, on October 18, 1961. His application was duly endorsed by the principal of the school, who also wrote a report and recommended him to be suitable for military commission.”

The Nigeria Army spokesman noted, however, that the usual practice in the Nigeria Army before candidates are shortlisted for commissioning into the officer cadre, requiring that the Selection Board must verify the original copies of credentials that are presented by candidates may not have been followed in Buhari’s case.


His words: “There is no evidence or available record to show that this process was followed in 1960s. Nevertheless, the entry made on NA Form 199A at the point of documentation after commission as an officer indicated that the former head of state obtained the West Africa School Certificate (WASC) in 1961 with credits in English language, geography, history, heath science, Hausa and a pass in English literature.

“However, neither the original copy of the certificate, a Certified True Copy (CTC) nor the statement of results of Major General Buhari’s WASC result is in his personal file” as evidence of his claims.

During the question session, the Army spokesman stated that Buhari attended several professional courses relating to the military profession including two in the United States and other foreign countries.

Laleye expressed reservations and displeasure over attempts by politicians to drag the military into partisan politics and hoped that with the release of the records by the military, the matter will now be allowed to rest. – @Hope For Nigeria.

How Atiku, others opposed restructuring while in government - Osinbajo

He recalled how he fought for restructuring in court while working under Lagos state government - The vice president said the opposition party’s promise of restructuring is dubious - He added that the PDP presidential candidate was one of those that opposed restructuring when he was VP Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Saturday, October 27, reportedly named the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, as one of those who stood against the restructuring of the country when the party was in power. Note that Atiku made restructuring a key plank of his campaign for the 2019 presidential election. But The Nation reports that Osinbajo, speaking in Ibadan, said Atiku who was vice president between 1999 and 2007, opposed every move made by the Lagos state government at that time to assert its authority.

Delivering a lecture entitled “Developing the nation through youth empowerment”, at the University of Ibadan, the vice president said: “I am not just an advocate of restructuring as there is no other government in Nigeria that has actively pursued restructuring such as we did when I was Attorney General in Lagos state.

“People talking about restructuring, if you ask them ‘what do you mean by restructuring’? They won’t even know what it means, and that is the problem we have and that we have to face. “Let me tell you what it is. When I was the Attorney General in Lagos state, we pursued in the Supreme Court, all of the issues of restructuring. We started with fiscal restructuring, which is more of resource control. Should states control their own resources? We went to the Supreme Court. They argued that each state should control its own resources.” The vice president explained that the states that argued in favour of autonomy of states to control their resources were the oil-producing states in the country and Lagos state argued on one side, while other states of the federation argued on another side because every state wants to share the oil money. “So, our own argument was that each state should control its own resources. We lost at the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court said no, that you cannot control your resources. If you are an oil producing state, take 13% extra, which is a derivation.” Osinbajo said Lagos state further argued that it has ports and the ports serve the entire nation, so the state should also take 13% derivation. The Supreme Court, he said, also opposed this, adding that the argument was pursued further, which has led to the introduction of the onshore and offshore law, “which is fast enabling the state to share from onshore resources”

All this time, this was 2000, some of those people, including the presidential candidate of PDP, who is talking about restructuring today, was the vice president then. They opposed every step that we took. Of course, we were taking the federal government to court then. They opposed every step. “The next thing we did was that the states should be able to create their own local governments. So, we created 47 new local governments in Lagos. The president then,
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, seized our local government funds and said we could not create new local governments. So, they seized the funds they were supposed to allocate for our local governments. “We challenged the seizure by going to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court held that the president had no right to seize the funds meant for local governments of the state and that we have a right to create local governments. “But after they have created the local governments, the process is not complete. They must still bring the list of new local governments to the National Assembly and the National Assembly will then amend the whole list of the local governments in the country. So, our local governments remain. But we could not get the National Assembly’s endorsement. So, we passed the LCDA Law. We created 47 and made them local council development areas.
“If you ask those people now talking about restructuring, none of them has done anything compared to what we have done. So, I am not a latter-day convert to restructuring. I am an active practitioner of restructuring, and I have gone to the Supreme Court 12 times to test restructuring. “If today, somebody is talking about restructuring, ask him what does he mean? And where was he when we were going to court? Were they not opposing restructuring when we were going to court? We were in the opposition then. They were in the federal government, and they opposed every step that we took on restructuring.” The lecture was in commemoration of the 68th anniversary of Sigma Club, University of Ibadan.

A 53-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy were in very mild condition after being injured on the limbs while running to a bomb shelter.

NNAMDI KANU: NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT APPROACHES ISRAEL WITH BLOODY HANDS

The Nigerian government has criminally made itself a laughing stock before the international community as the Israeli government flatly rejected the obnoxious demand brought before her for the extradition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the highly intelligent global leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), an ancestorial Jew and a religious Judaist who is presently in Israel and most frankly putting up finishing touches in his programs towards Biafra independence. Nigeria as an entity, has descended into an irredeemable infamy. This stems from her immoral and dubious diplomatic approach to the nation of Israel from the backdoor with her hands soaked in the blood of Jewish exiles who are presently aborigines of Biafraland. She wanted the extradition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu who himself is the supreme leader of these Biafran Jews on exile. What a despicable act of wickedness and a humiliating slap on the face of the government of the nation of Israel, for the advantage of the Islamic terrorist and vampiric Nigerian government, making such a demand after the bizarre assassination attempt by the same government on the 14th of September, 2017.


It is important here to use this opportunity to bring to the attention of the Israeli government and the entire global community, the uncountable number of persecutions, deprivations, humiliations, marginalization and dehumanization being precipitated against Biafran Jews by the Islamic government of Nigeria because of their Jewish background, surrounded here in West Africa by Islamic neighbors. It will not suffice here to list out the evils being meted against Biafrans by the occupational government of Nigeria. Nigerian government is truly shamless by demanding for the extradition of the same innocent man whose evacuators during the murderous invasion of his residence, were callously gunned down by the Nigerian army in a gruesome siege. Now is the time for the Israeli government and the Jewish community all over the world to demand for explanation from the Nigerian Islamic government on the underlisted:
IPOB Leader Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

(1) What really warranted the gruesome killing of IPOB family members (Biafran Jews) on that black Sunday of August 2015?


(2) What prompted the killing of the Biafran Jews who were on a praying ground at National High School, Aba, Biafraland on the 9th of February 2016, for the release of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from Kuje prison in Abuja?

(3) What brought about the killing of Biafran Jews who gathered at St. Edmund"s Catholic Church Hall on the eve of 30th of May 2016 Heroes/Heroines Remembrance Day? What triggered off the firing of ammunitions at the crowd that was observing the Heroes/Heroines Remembrance Day on 30th May 2016, at Eke Nkpor in Biafraland by the Nigerian soldiers, which resulted in the death of hundreds of IPOB family members?

(4) What warranted the killing of Biafran Jews who peacefully gathered in Igweocha (Port Harcourt City) of Biafraland on 20th January 2017, to celebrate in solidarity with the 45th United States President - Donald John Trump, during his inauguration.


(5) What warranted the massacre of innocent armless Biafran Jews at Aba, Umuahia, Isiala-Ngwa and Obigbo, all in Biafraland, during the weeks of the ill-conceived Operation Python Dance II of the Nigerian army? Some of the victims were forcefully drowned in highly contaminated, stagnant, muddy waters along Aba expressway near Isiala-Ngwa in the month of September 2017?

(6) What warranted the criminal assassination attempt on the life of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, a reputable Jewish leader of the most endangered human species in the West African sub-region called Biafrans. Biafraland is currently under the occupational control of the Islamic fundamentalist government of Nigeria which killed over 28 Jews in the process?

(7) What warranted the dastardly assault visited on the harmless Jewish worshippers in the palace of His Royal Majesty (HRM), Eze Israel-Okwu Kanu in Afara-ukwu Ibeku, in Umuahia Biafraland, wherein the Nigerian jihadistic police led by Police Commissioner Anthony Ogbizi of Abia State Police Command, brutalised, humiliated, molested, arrested and illegally detained them? The Jewish worshippers converged in the palace on purification exercise of the residence following the murderous raid cum desecration of the revered traditional palace on May 2018?


(8) What warranted the unfortunate burning of Israeli flags confiscated from the massacred Biafran Jews under the umbrella name of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) in Igweocha (Port Harcourt), during the inauguration rally of President Donald John Trump of the United States of America? Nigerian combined security forces drafted from the Army, Police, Department of Security Services (DSS) and National Security and Defense Corps (NSDC), jointly set ablaze, the flags of the United States of America, Russia, Israel and Biafra, forcefully seized from rallying Biafran Jews.

The Islamic fundamentalist government of Nigeria ridiculed particularly the Jewish State through such despicable act of dishonor.


The above questions are seriously begging for answers from the Nigerian government that shamelessly approached the Israeli government for the immediate extradition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. Nigeria which is swimming in the pool of the blood of the Biafran Jews, ought to be really ashamed of herself for embarking on such a self demeaning/gravely disadvantageous venture. A popular axiom says: "He who goes to equity must do so with clean hands". But in the case of the Nigerian government, approaching Israel with hands soaked in the blood of slain Biafran Jews is the greatest mistake they have ever made in the 21st century. Now that the Jewish State of Israel has flatly turned down the request for Mazi Nnamdi Kanu"s extradition, it is incumbent upon the government of Nigeria to summon courage and graciously carve out Biafra territories out from the British contrapted Nigeria, in view of the impending dangers. The Nigerian government must not take to delay tactics before expediting necessary actions that will save the country from total destruction. There is absolutely no other alternative.

"I want Israel to be the home of every Jew"

Prime Minister Netanyahu, US Ambassador David Friedman speak at Jewish Federations of North America"s General Assembly in Tel Aviv.

US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman addressed the closing session of the Jewish Federations of North America (JFNA) General Assembly Wednesday in Tel Aviv.

Under the headline ‘We Need to Talk’, this year’s JFNA General Assembly highlighted tensions between the State of Israel and American Jewish leaders.

Speaking Wednesday afternoon, Prime Minister Netanyahu discussed US-Israel ties, describing with satisfaction the strengthening of the relationship between the two countries he has observed since first entering politics in the 1980s.

"There"s no question it"s gotten a lot stronger,” said Netanyahu, citing polling over the years, showing an increase in overall support for the Jewish state among the American public.

"When you look at the numbers, it’s quite startling," regarding Americans’ perceptions of the Jewish state.

The Israeli premier touted President Donald Trump’s decision to relocate the US embassy to Jerusalem, calling the move a high-point in US-Israel relations.

"He did something unbelievable. This is something that we"ve dreamed about since the founding of Israel, and he did it."

"I would say that the state of the American-Israeli relationship - the alliance, has never been stronger."

But, Netanyahu added, Israel must work to expand outreach among demographic groups where support for the Jewish state is weakest, listing off “African Americans, Hispanics, young people”.


“Things are never as good as you think – but they’re also never as bad as you fear,” the Prime Minister continued, playing down perceptions of a left-wing backlash against Israel and Zionism in the US.


Turning to relations between Israel and the American Jewish community, Netanyahu said he was working to promote the vision of Israel as a "home for all Jews".


"I want Israel to be the home of every Jew. I don"t care if they"re Orthodox, Reform, Conservative, or completely secular."

Netanyahu responded to claims from some in the American Jewish community that his government"s stance on "core issues" of religion and state were challenges to Israeli democracy.


The Prime Minister explained that his government"s policies on issues like conversion to Judaism, recognition of the Reform Movement, the Sabbath in the public sphere, and non-Orthodox prayer at the Western Wall were part of a long-standing tradition in Israel politics of dealing with religion-and-state issues piecemeal.

These policies are part of "slowly evolving arrangements," said Netanyahu, adding that the primary driver for change was "the evolution of the Israeli electorate," alluding to demographic changes and the growth of the haredi population in Israel.

South-East Group Denies Promising To Physically Deliver Nnamdi Kanu To Police.

South-East Group Exposes Nigerian Fake News Gutter Medias, Denies Promising To Physically Deliver Nnamdi Kanu To Police.

“The said Charles Mbani is fake and fictitious. We therefore urge the media to disregard the source of the story as harbinger of fake news."

“The issues surrounding the disappearance and alleged reappearance of Nnamdi Kanu are a legal issue, which we have refrained to interfere with. Therefore we never promised to "physically deliver him to the nearest police station for onward transportation to appear in court if he ever sets foot upon the country" as security agencies in the country knows their job," the statement read.

The South East Renewal Group (SERG) has denied berating Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), over his position on the 2019 general election, stating that the group neither castigated Igbo leaders nor endorsed statements credited the IPOB leader.


One Charles Mbani, who had claimed to be the National President of SERG, had issued a statement on October 22, 2018, promising to "physically deliver him to the nearest police station for onward transportation to appear in court" if he ever sets foot on the country.


However, in a statement issued in Abuja and made available to SaharaReporters, Chief Willy Ezugwu, Convener and National Coordinator of the SERG, said Mbani is not known to the group.

He said: “For avoidance of doubt, the SERG has no such position as "National President" and we have no member by the name Charles Mbani.


“As a group, we have never joined issues with Nnamdi Kanu and the IPOB. The statement credited to the said imaginary Charles Mbani as published some media houses, including Sahara Reporters, is not from the South East Revival Group and we totally dissociate ourselves from the statement.


“Even though our group will not and can never support any form of lawless behaviour or threat to the peaceful coexistence.

“The issues surrounding the disappearance and alleged reappearance of Nnamdi Kanu are a legal issue, which we have refrained to interfere with. Therefore we never promised to "physically deliver him to the nearest police station for onward transportation to appear in court if he ever sets foot upon the country" as security agencies in the country knows their job.

SHOCKING!! "We"ll rebuild Kanu"s Palace in Afara-Uku damaged by Nigeria Army" - South East Governors Speaks

ABAKALIKI —INDICATIONS have emerged that state governors in South East region of the country, are planning to rebuild the palace of the father of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
DSS Denies Aiding Kanu’s Escape

Following this, no fewer than five pro Biafra groups yesterday commended Governor Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia State for his assurance that the South East governors would rebuild the palace of the monarch which was damaged by the Nigerian Army during an attack on the fugitive IPOB leader some months ago.

Nnamdi Kanu Is Alive, I Have Confirmed It Too- Lawyer
In a statement issued in Abakaliki and signed by Comrade Emeka Ibekwe for Biafra Independence Organization; Comrade Philip Umenna for Igbo Revolutionary Movement; Comrade Sunday James Achu for Eastern Peoples Renewal; Rev Kingsley Olisa for Biafra Clergy Network; and Comrade Victor Akpanaka for Biafra Security Network, the groups further appealed for close relationship among Ndigbo and other ethnic nationalities in Igbo land.

They said: “The leadership of five pro Biafra groups met yesterday and resolved to work and promote a conscious brotherhood and synergy among all pro Biafra agitators.”

The groups commended the Governor of Abia State, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu for his assurance that the southeast governors will rebuild the palace of the father of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu which was damaged by the Nigerian Army.


They also appealed for close relationship among Ndigbo and other ethnic nationalities in Biafra land.

“We agreed to work together as one family in unison with other pro Biafra groups that could not attend our meeting.

“Pro-Biafra groups should intensify efforts in grassroot sensitisation and mobilisations for greater home awareness of Biafra referendum that will determine the acceptability of Biafra by the people of Biafra.


“Pro-Biafra groups should explore every necessary means, including political, economical and religious means for effective actualisation and restoration of sovereign state of Biafra. We shall be involved in the political determinations of governance of our region. We shall be stakeholders in electing, deciding and establishing a Biafra- oriented political force that will not be a stooge in national assembly and state governments.”

Groups reject Nnamdi Kanu’s Jerusalemdeclaration
Meantime, a different coalition of pro-Biafra groups has rejected the declaration, purportedly made by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu in Jerusalem, Israel, earlier this week.

The coalition which included the Movement for Actualisation of Sovereign State of Biafra, MASSOB, among other Biafra agitating groups said that whereas they were happy to hear that Kanu was still alive, they however took exception to issues raised by the IPOB leader in his purported speech, particularly on his re-declaration of Biafra Republic.

Rising from a meeting in Enugu yesterday, the coalition leaders which included Uchenna Madu of MASSOB; Okey Orji of Eastern Peoples Congress; Innocent Amadi of Billie Human Rights Initiative; Eberechukwu Anigbogu of Movement of Biafrans In Nigeria, among others urged Ndigbo to disregard Kanu and keep calm.

In their common statement after the meeting, the coalition said it has fully analysed Kanu’s address to the world and wish to react that the purported declaration of the Republic of Biafra by Nnamdi Kanu was a gross abuse of history


“We cannot understand how the Republic of Biafra that was declared in 1967 by Dim Odumegwu Ojukwu after due consultations and approval by the elders and leaders of Biafra land can be declared again.
“We make bold to say that Biafra had existed as an independent nation for three years. It is important to remind the entire world that the Nigeria- Biafra civil war (1967 — 1970) ended on the note of ‘no victor, no vanquished.’


“Nnamdi Kanu has neither the authority of Ndigbo nor the capacity to declare a republic for the Igbo nation. His address is an over statement.
“The coalition insists that Biafra is the property of the entire Biafra people which no single person, no matter how highly placed, has the right to unilaterally decide her faith.”

It also recalled that in 2012, the Supreme Council of Elders of the Indigenous People of Biafra mandated BILIE Human Rights Initiatives, an international human rights oganisation to sue the Federal Government of Nigeria on behalf of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra.


“That suit is, at present, being heard in one of the Nigeria’s Federal High Courts in Abuja.We supports only approaches for Biafra emancipation through diplomacy.”

Biafra : Defence Headquarters Reveals What Will Happen To Nnamdi Kanu If He Comes Back With ‘Hell’

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ), Abuja, has revealed what will happen to the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu If returns to Nigeria with hell.

The DHQ said Nnamdi Kanu will be dealt with if comes back to Nigeria  over his threat to make Nigeria “hell” when he returns to the country.

The DHQ has also vowed to stop any person or group planning to cause mayhem in the country.

It has, therefore, advised those stockpiling weapons with the intention of causing havoc in the 2019 general election in the country to have a rethink or have themselves to blame as the wrath of the law would be visited on them.

Director, Defence Information, Brig-Gen. John Agim, gave the warning at a media briefing on the successes of military operations across the country in Abuja.

“Operation 777 is on and whoever that is coming to Nigeria with hell, Operation 777 will contend with the person, be it Nnamdi Kanu or any other person,” Agim said.

He said Operation 777 was launched to specifically tackle those planning to disintegrate the country.

Agim said Operation 777, which came into existence on October 8, has killed 35 suspected criminals and arrested 98 bandits in the last two weeks, adding that those arrested were currently undergoing investigation after which they would be handed over to the police for prosecution.

Giving a breakdown of the successes of the operations, Agim said some soldiers have paid the supreme price in the ongoing operations across the country, but he did not state where they suffered casualties.

He also said five AK-47 rifles, 20 bows and arrows, 113 rounds of 7.62mm live ammunition, 20 live cartridges and four rifle magazines were recovered from the suspects, adding that a total of 419 rustled cattle were recovered within the period and returned to their rightful owners.

He said, “Two soldiers were killed in action, two wounded in action. Equally, two soldiers were missing in action while one AK-47 rifle is missing in action.”

Speaking further on the military’s success, the defence spokesman declared that 405 sheep and 101 goats were recovered and handed over to the various states committees established to return the animals to the rightful owners by the troops of Operation 777.

“In the operation around the maritime areas, a total of 398 metric tonnes of stolen crude oil was recovered, 67,000 litres of illegally refined AGO, 126 reservoirs, 34 illegal refineries, 27 wooden boats and a quantity 101 of 100-litre drums of premium motor spirit were recovered and destroyed,” he further disclosed.

I’m Very Disappointed In The Nigerian Media — Buhari Cried Out

President Muhammadu Buhari says he is disappointed in the Nigerian media for failing to highlight the progress of his administration in the agricultural sector.


Buhari said this at a dinner he hosted for young political appointees at the presidential villa, Abuja, on Wednesday.

The president said under him, agriculture had become so attractive that those who cannot get white-collar job have taken up farming and are reaping the reward.

He added that his government had reduced importation of rice by 90 percent.


“I’m very disappointed with the Nigerian press. They didn’t give this government the credit of the `go back to land program’,” he said.

“We have cut down the importation of rice by at least 90 percent… I foresaw our problem in agriculture and did the right thing and today, people are much better. In terms of unemployment, our able-bodied persons that do not have education and can’t get white-collar jobs, went back to till the land and today, none of them is regretting it.”


He condemned the rush by some Nigerians, especially the youth, in search of greener pastures abroad, saying his administration is determined to transform the country.

He said: “If people don’t feel good about this country, let them go and find out what is happening elsewhere but we are going to stay here and we are going to salvage this country together.


“I have gone through a lot, I have been Governor, I was in charge of our petroleum sector for over three years, I was Head of State and now I have come without the uniform and have visited each of the 774 Local government Areas in this country.

“The intention of this administration is to do the infrastructure and give education and healthcare to our people especially the poor.”

APC Has Sent Out A Very Bad Signal To The World — Okorocha Plan To Join APGA

The governor of Imo State Chief Rochas Okorocha, has said that the Acting National Publicity Secretary of All Progressives Congress, APC, Mallam Lanre Issa Onilu has sent out a very bad signal to the world.

Okorocha reacting to Issa Onilu statement where he described some governors of the Party’s extraction as bad losers with regard to the Party’s Primaries said castigating governors who have made the party thick right from the outset was not the proper thing to do and that Onilu had sent out a very bad signal to the world.

Okorocha in a statement signed by Sam Onwuemeodo his Chief Press Secretary to the Governor ‘We have read in the media certain statements credited to the Acting National Publicity Secretary of All


Progressives Congress, APC, Mallam Lanre Issa Onilu, in which he described some governors of the Party’s extraction as bad losers with regard to the Party’s Primaries. He named Governor Okorocha as one of such bad losers, and never exercised caution in talking about the situations in the affected states.


‘As the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the Party, Mallam Onilu would have first and foremost appreciated the fact that both the National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole and the governors are all partners in progress with regard to the fate of the Party. They are all major stakeholders who can at times disagree to agree. So, in handling issues concerning the National Chairman and the Governors, the Acting National Publicity Secretary would have struck a balance to avoid giving outsiders the impression that there is an on-going war between the Chairman and the Governors.

‘Again, castigating governors who have made the party thick right from the outset was not the proper thing to do. Someone else could do that but obviously not the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party. Even one member is important to the party talk more sitting governors. By his approach, Mallam Onilu had sent out a very bad signal to the world.

On the issues he raised about Imo State especially concerning the governorship ticket of the Party, we only advice that he should endeavour to have the existing facts to avoid feeding the public with the wrong information, that may also cause problem in the State.

‘The National Chairman himself had cancelled all that emanated from the Ahmed Gulak led 12-member Committee and then set up another 7-member Committee led by Brigadier-General Ibrahim Agbagbiaka to Conduct the Party’s Primaries in Imo. The Committee Conducted a very transparent governorship primary that saw Uche Nwosu emerging as the winner.

‘The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Party led by Comrade Oshiomhole equally set up an Appeal Panel headed by the Former Governor of Edo State Professor Oserheimen Osunbor. Some of the aggrieved Guber Aspirants in the State came up with their petitions. At the end of the day, the Prof. Osunbor Appeal Panel affirmed that Uche Nwosu is the authentic governorship Candidate of the party, having convincingly won the primary.


‘Chief Hope Uzodinma went to Court over a primary he knew that never took place. The Court refused to grant him any order as requested but rather invited APC, INEC, etal, to come and explain why Uzodinma should not be granted the reliefs he had asked for.

However, Uche Nwosu had earlier been granted orders by the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory presided over by Hon. Justice V.A. Ashi restraining the Party, INEC and others, from accepting any other name as the governorship candidate of APC for Imo State except that of Uche Nwosu and also restrained them from substituting the name of Uche Nwosu. In other words, it is only Uche Nwosu who has valid Court Orders in favour of his Candidature, coupled with the report of the Prof. Osunbor Appeal Panel. But Chief Hope Uzodinma does not have any of these leverages.


‘So, in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of the APC, Uche Nwosu is the Governorship Candidate of APC for Imo State and for the 2019 election. It does not matter the sentiments that could be held by any other interested party. Truth must be told and held.

‘In the case of the National Assembly, the only worry by APC members in the State is the automatic tickets given to a Senator and three House of Representatives aspirants who claimed to have joined the party in Abuja few months ago. And these people given these automatic tickets know that they can never win election in Imo with the tickets of APC without the support of Governor Okorocha.


‘We are also aware of all the claims and Counter-claims in Abuja by some Abuja based Politicians from the State. We are yet to know how anybody can win election in Imo on the platform of APC without Okorocha’s support. We won’t go further here. The inscription on one vehicle in Owerri is “time will tell”.


‘So, the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party should take up the issues we have raised here and prove us wrong. Then we take off from there. The National Chairman and the governors should be encouraged to work together in the overall interest of the Party, because by 2019 the issue will be election and APC victory and not who said what and who didn’t say what.’

There are unanswered questions how Kanu got to Isreal.

There are unanswered questions how Kanu got to Isreal because Abia and Umuahia are by no means border State or town. While it could be easy for someone in Borno or Lagos to slip across the border to neighbouring countries, it is not so with Abia. If there is a manhunt for someone in Abia as the Nigerian Army did searching for Kanu, there is zero chance the person will slip away, except maybe helped by internal military sabotage or as we hope is not the case, MOSSAD. Internal military sabotage would not happen because the manhunt for Kanu was a direct order by the President to commanders of Northern extraction who hate what Kanu stood for.


DID KANU BLUFF?
Could it be that Kanu was bluffing that he was helped by MOSSAD? But who else could have helped him escape a combined team of Army, Navy, Airforce, DSS, NIA, Customs and immigration? I would say the argument of a bluff does not hold any water unless the Nigerian government exposes a sabotage within the Army or the DSS.


MOSSAD THE MASTERS OF PICKUP WITHOUT TRACE IN OTHER COUNTRIES

MOSSAD has gained notoriety of invading other countries to pick up or kill heads of other states or Isreal"s Enemies. MOSSAD in well documented instances infiltrated developed countries like the United States, Germany, Poland, France, Italy, Ireland, Malta, Norway , Serbia, Switzerland, Soviet Union/Russia, Ukraine, United Kingdom, New Zealand etc. Other cases of infiltration of less developed countries like India, Pakistan, North Korea, Uganda, UAE, Syria, Lebanon etc are also well documented. MOSSAD has gained efficiency and Effectiveness over the years to be able to evacuate Kanu without trace

ISREAL"S SOFT SPOT FOR THE IGBOS


I cannot say for sure what caused the Isrealis to develop soft spot for the Igbos, but it must be noted that they(Isreal) were the only developed country to openly throw technical support for Biafra during the civil war. Their support was however limited because Isreal between 1964-1970 while the Biafran war lasted were engaged in Three different wars. Who knows what what have happened if Isreal had no such distract as three wars.

ISREAL, MASTERS OF WAR

Isreal have fought alot of wars and have won all of them. They have some of the finest war capabilities only superior by the United States. It must be noted that in the 6 days war, Syria used Russias war equipment, but was defeated by Isreal in just 6 days. Isreal are Nuclear weapon capable(though they still maintain policy of deliberate ambiguity over it). If Kanu is not bluffing and have the support of Isreal, one can only wonder what he means by ""hell"

THE CHANGED TIMES


Unlike in the 1960s when Russia, America supported Britain to lend support to Nigera over Biafra in the war, Britain can now never go against Israel and America for their own sakes. Now, Britain can never support a muslim majority over a Christian Majority.

WHY NIGERIA SHOULD WORRY


If Isreal supports Kanu as is the case, because no one can enter Isreal without passports as they have assured borders because they are surrounded by Enemies. Nigeria should be sensible and not fight to hold back Biafra in a war, because this time, Nigeria may lose heavily in only six days. All this is if Israel supports Kanu. If in six months, Israel does not deport Kanu who is clearly in Jerusalem, just know that Israel is clearly backing Kanu to achieve Biafra. Ominous times, really Ominous.
