YPP soaring high in Adamawa as community agog for Nuru, HoR candidate flags-off campaign in grand style

....over 200 PDP members defect to PDP to give him support

Activities in Mayo Belwa town on Saturday came to a halt as the Young Progressives Party (YPP) candidate vying to represent Mayo-Belwa, Toungo, Jada and Ganye federal constituency in the house of representatives, Nuruddeen Hammanyero, flags-off campaign amidst pomp, pageantry and unprecedented camaraderie.

During the flag-off which was attended by members and leaders of other political parties including PDP and APC, the candidate also unveiled his five-point manifesto centered around the development of Trade, Education, Agriculture, Security and Empowerment.

The ambition of Nuruddeen Hammanyero got a boost as a PDP stalwart in the area Nuruddeen Okocha, led over 200 stalwarts from other political parties to join the campaign train of Hammanyero because of the belief that the budding politician has what it takes to turn around the fortunes of the people of the area.

Meanwhile, the ancient town was virtually shutdown as thousands of supporters of the candidate left their activities and joined the long motorcade of supporters as the candidate moves round the town to fraternize with the people.

Movement through the town was hectic as it took the candidate hours to finish activities line up for the day including visitation to the palace of the district head and unveiling of the party’s campaign office as security operatives had a hectic time trying to control the ever surging crowd of supporters.

While thanking the teeming people of Ganye, Toungo, Jada and Mayo Belwa for their uncommon gesture and show of goodwill, Hammanyero who was visibly overwhelmed with emotion pledged not to disappoint them if elected.

He noted that if elected, he will channel considerable energy to ensure the revival of the constituency’s potentials through proper border security, and attract investments to the area in order to usher in peace, stability and trade prosperity.

Hammanyero said he is in the race to right the wrongs of the past noting that the area has suffered neglect since the advent of this democratic dispensation in 1999.

He however expressed optimism that all hope is not lost as the messiah who will save the constituency from from further drift has appeared in the horizon.

Hammanyero urged the people not to despair in the face of serial disappointments they suffered in the past as he is mindful of the verdict of posterity on him.

He enjoined the people to go out en mass and collect their PVCs noting that the voter’s card is the only weapon at their disposal to elect good leaders come 2023 general election. He also pleaded with the other constituents to reciprocate the gesture Mayo Belwa has been extending to them over the years by voting him this time around.

Speaking during the occasion, the Director General of Nuruddeen Hammanyero campaign council, Hammadu Jada called on the people of Ganye chiefdom to support Mayo Belwa to produce the next federal lawmaker in the area so as to reciprocate the gesture Mayo Belwa has extended to the chiefdom over the years.

“Since the advent of democracy, Mayo Belwa has been supportive to Ganye chiefdom making its sons to represent the area in the house of representatives. In reciprocity, we should also support Mayo Belwa now as one good turn deserves another.

“More so, our candidate has the wherewithal, capacity, experience, exposure and the youthful energy to translate our hopes and aspirations into reality,” he said.

Also speaking, Adamawa State chairman of YPP, Musa Maigana congratulate those who pitch tent with his party noting that they will be carried along and will be treated like old members of the party.

He expressed hope that with the massive grassroot support his party is garnering across every nook and cranny of the constituency, his party will comprehensively win the 2023 polls.

Sports Complex: Prof Auwal Uba Sets Bauchi State University On A Higher Pedestal

  

By; MIKE ODEH JAMES 

Bauchi State University Gadau recorded another milestone as the sporting complex of the university was completed and put to use by the students.

A brainchild of the Vice Chancellor, Professor Auwal Uba, the ultramodern complex  boasts of basketball court, volleyball pitch, football field,  tennis court and host of others.

The sporting complex can compete favorably with any international sporting  complex within and outside the country. So far, the high standard of the complex and the way and manner it was built is still generating positive comments from Bauchi residents as well as sports analysts across the country.

According to a popular blogger, Hafeez Wakilin Amana, "Professor Auwalu Uba  proved his name to the world, as it's part of his great mission and vision of restructuring modern Bauchi State University Gadau, the workaholic Vice Chancellor has facilitated a global standard stadium on the campus.

"The stadium serves multipurpose for different sporting activities, well furnished with the best grass carpet and other facilities," he added.

The Consulting Editor of Authentic Newspaper and the Secretary of Sports Writers Association of Nigeria ( SWAN) Kaduna State Chapter, Okpani Jacob Onjewu Dickson  said that after viewing the complex, he concluded Bauchi State University is ready to host Nigerian Universities Games (NUGA) anytime.

Okpani Dickson said,  "What the Vice Chancellor did was to bequeath a lasting sporting  edifice for the institution.

"The standard of the courts, pitches and dressing rooms are all of international standard that one would say that Professor Uba have already made preparations for Bauchi State University to host NUGA.

Accolades are also coming from the varsity community as staff and students are full of praises for Prof Uba for building the complex.

Abubakar Shuaibu, a  political science staff averred that Prof.Uba has set a precedent that subsequent Vice Chancellors may find very difficult to match.

He  added, "the  new sporting complex will strengthen our athletic programmes, dramatically improve the student athlete experience, enhance the experience of visitors and it match global standard.

He went on  "Our  students can now practice and compete on a safe track surface comparable to those of their competitors from other schools. We say kudos to our workaholic vice chancellor, the architect of modern Bauchi State University.

Another student thrilled by the Sports  complex, is Grace Garba a final year  student of Sociology.

 She said,  "my gratitude is to Prof. Uba because he has been doing the right things all along. The complex is not the only positive thing that he has done for us. God will bless him," she concluded.

So far, many analysts are saying that  Professor Auwal Uba as the Vice Chancellor of Bauchi State University,  has with the commissioning of the sports complex etched the his name and and that of Governor Bala Mohammed in gold.

Why We Have Chosen to endorse the Obi/Datti Ticket-ex-SGF, Babachir reveals

....states 6 main reasons Tinubu Muslim Muslim ticket in not good for Nigeria 

Former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) and a critical stakeholder of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Engr Babachir David Lawal has revealed their next line of action on who to support in the 2023 coming Presidential election.

David as one of the foremost critics of APC’s single-faith presidential ticket, and also in difference to those who have patiently waited for their  guidance as to where to pitch their tent, according to him after a painstaking review and analysis of the alternative presidential tickets, they now wish to  recommend the Obi/Datti presidential ticket. 

The Adamawa born politician gave the long anticipated action by many Nigerians in a press statement he signed and made available to news men  briefly narrated some few reasons  among many why they have endorsed the Obi/Datti's ticket and commend it to all Nigerians of good conscience who desire justice, equity and a harmonious co-existence of all Nigerians across tribes, religion and geopolitical regions.

 He denied the rumors currently in circulation as fake news that he have thrown in his towel with  the PDP as  nothing could be further from the truth. To him the PDP and APC are different sides of the same  coin. 

 

"1. The APC same-faith is a deliberate, well-calculated plan to sow the seeds of religious and social discord among Nigerians. It is obvious  that Northerners, in particular, are the intended targets and victims of this satanic plan. It is an indisputable fact that the whole of Northern Nigeria is currently mired in several intractable socio-economic problems due to the activities of several nebulous criminal groups. Agriculture, the mainstay of the northern economy, is all but abandoned because kidnappers and bandits have prevented people from venturing out of the safety of their homes. Interstate and intercity travel  for either business or leisure have all but ceased not only due to un-motorable roads but more so for fear of kidnapping, armed robbery and other forms of banditry. Our rural schools have all but closed for fear of kidnappers. Government-owned universities have closed thus depriving the children of the already impoverished Northern masses access to affordable higher education. Thus, our out-of-school and idle children have become easy targets for recruitment by bandits and kidnappers. And there is no solution in sight.  

"Then, out of nowhere this man Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a renown Yoruba-hegemonist, a man who championed the establishment of a Ministry of Regional Integration in each state government of the South-west geopolitical region which he bestrides as an emperor, and a man who was once quoted as saying “I do not believe in one Nigeria” (THISDAY, The Sunday Newspaper, April 13, 1997, page 9) comes up with a Muslim-muslim ticket  knowing fully well that religion is the underbelly of Northern Nigeria. APC’s same-faith ticket is a ploy to further sow discord among Northerners using the most potent weapon of social  discord - religion. As Karl Max once said - “religion is the opium of the people”.  Nigerians from all shades of the society must see this Tinubu/Kashim same-faith ticket as  a proposal from the pit of hell that can only be conjured by the most Machiavellian minds known to man and therefore must be rejected wholesome by all lovers of our country and its nascent democracy.

 

"On the other hand, Alhaji Kashim Shetima, Tinubu’s Vice Presidential running mate is a man who once said “restructuring my foot, let’s restructure our minds”. For eight years he presided over  Borno State at a time when Boko Haram was overrunning the state almost at will and restructuring the minds of its victims against Christianity and western education. The kidnapped Chibok and Dapchi girls and many more are now slowly trickling out of captivity in the Boko Haram indoctrination camps fully Islamized and carrying children born into Islam in captivity - a true example of “mind restructuring” if there ever was one. There is also this little matter of an allegation of a very close relationship or otherwise between the Vice Presidential candidate of APC and  Boko Haram! And, which Christian can forget one Kabiru Sokoto the alleged Boko Haram kingpin accused of complicity in the Christmas bombing of St Theresa Catholic Church, Madallah that resulted in 44 deaths and 77 injured Christian worshippers? Or that the said Kabiru Sokoto was eventually arrested at his hiding place in the Borno State Government Lodge Abuja? Are Christians not justified in being scared of a government run by these duo?

"2. Surely, APC’s same-faith ticket is intended to shame Christians and bestow on them and their religion a second-class socio-political status in their own country. In particular it is a validation of the discrimination and oppression being meted out on Northern Nigerian Christians where they are now denied employment, promotion, contracts, and admission to read prestigious and marketable courses in government-owned schools simply on account of their  religion. It is no wonder then that Alhaji Bola Tinubu thinks  that the Bible is a book of jokes from which he  can freely construct his “jokes”  like his “Poisoned Holly Communion” and “Speaking in Tongues” jokes. If he is man enough, I challenge him to ridicule the Holy Quran even once as he freely does the Holy Bible. This guy has no respect for Christians and Christianity at all.

"3. This APC ticket goes against the grain of Nigerian politics which in practice (if not in law) has always sought to achieve a religious balance in its politics and governance. It is worth noting that all the other seventeen political parties fielding presidential candidates have gone the way of established conventions  and practices by fielding different-faith tickets. Truly except for its incitement to social disharmony, there is no sense at all in APC’s same faith ticket. 

"Furthermore, in our quest for justice and equity in the socio-political and religious space of the country, it is obvious that only the Obi/Datti ticket has the potential of speaking to the genuine clamor for power shift to the South-East and at the same time speak to the cry of marginalization by our people of the South-East. Obviously, a Christian/Muslim presidency like the Obi/Datti one will be most appropriate at this stage of our political journey more so since we are now transiting from a Muslim/Christian presidency.  It will also achieve the regional shift of the presidency from the current NW/SW to a SE/NW presidency as popularly being canvassed . This is justice; this is equity. This is political engineering at its best and one that engineers peace and harmonious co-existence of the various socio-political and religious classes of our nation.

"4  Nigerians should also resist the temptation of being ruled by the same set of courtiers who are recycling themselves, their children and their friends in a monarchal fashion, in and out of government to the exclusion of other segments of the society. This trend has resulted in these disastrous consequences in which we now find ourselves - impoverished, unsecured, divided, severely underdeveloped and massively unemployed with a widening gulf between the rich and poor of the society. A keen observer will not fall to notice that APC is a transmutation of Action Group/UPN that is dominated by the children or grandchildren of those who once run and ruined the  Action Group while the  PDP is a transmutation of NPC/NPN similarly dominated  by the children or grandchildren of the people who once run and ruined the NPC. A government of either APC or PDP will only be a recycling of the same class of people who have been running and ruining the country from independence to date. Is it any wonder that Nigeria has remained  static? 

"The Obi/Datti  will give us breath of fresh air and the greatest opportunity to redeem our country from the quagmire into which we have been plunged by a recurring group of self-centred reactionaries. 

"5. There is a also this palpable fear and anxiety over a possible transition of the current presidency from one Fulbe to another - same tribe, same religion, same region, same courtiers. This has given rise to a heightened fear of a possible perpetuation of a Fulbe hegemony in the country. Besides, there is the perception by many Nigerians that the Fulbe  are the main actors in the banditry and kidnappings currently ravaging the country. Therefore, there is a widespread perception that another Fulbe-led government will not have the inclination or political will to address the country’s security challenges seeing as a majority of the perpetrators are its kindred. 

"There is also this perception that appointments by the current government are driven more by ethnic and religious cronyism than by Nationalistic considerations. This has given rise to a fear of a possible perpetuation of this trend  by another Fulbe-led government. Both APC and PDP presents us with these horrible options. The Obi/Datti ticket possesses a great potential to wean us from these problems. 

"6.  Finally, as the political  campaigns advance towards the election dates, the tendency to divide the country along regional, tribal and religious affiliations is gradually beginning to manifest. We can see very clearly that the APC having woefully failed in its original plan to instigate a form of  jihad which it had sought through its same-faith ticket in order to capture the moslem votes, has now resorted to a tribal card. The battle cry is now “it is our turn” tribal card in the South-West. The PDP on the other hand,  seeing new opportunities in APC’s failed jihad strategy is tending towards adapting both the religious and ethnic strategies of APC in the North. 

"Nigerians must be awake to these very dangerous campaign trends because any of the political parties that comes into government by pandering to ethnic or religious sentiments may not be able govern successfully and might further accentuate the social cleavages .  

"Men of good conscience should therefore look to opportunities that unite rather than divide us. Only the Labor Party presents this opportunity. We therefore call on all patriots to labor for our country in this presidential election. Nigeria’s future is at stake in this presidential election. Obi-Datti is the only way to go. All other ways lead to perdition." Lawan said

Buhari's Chief of Staff frustrating corruption case against LNRBDA MD, Group alleged

A popular group, Agricwatch Alliance has accused President Muhammadu Buhari's Chief of Staff, Prof. Ibrahim Gambari of frustrating corruption allegations against the Managing Director of Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority (LNRBDA), Dr. Engr. Saheed Aremu.

This is contained in a statement signed by the Coordinator of the group, Alhassan Muhammad and the Scribe, Bode Bosun and made available to Newsmen in Abuja on Thursday.

The statement reads " we have observed that the anti-corruption crusade of the present administration under the APC government is feign and selective.

" Our letter dated June 26th, 2022 calling on the Government to take necessary action on the issue of corruption allegations against Engr. Aremu  was given deaf ears. We also asked the Government to monitor the activities of the agency across the country to curb wasteful budgetary spending and maladministration.

" The information we gathered was that the alleged MD is gallivanting in office and developing immunity through a compromised system. we learned the ICPC invited  him few months ago over a petition concerning  embezzlement and misappropriation of Public funds. The petition emanated as a result of projects that were awarded at the agency for execution in Anambra state but unfortunately the project was abandoned despite the payment for it. 

" This was among other corruption allegations against the MD but we're disenchanted that the government hasn't deemed it fit to order him to step aside for full investigation. 

According to the statement they also got information that the COS, Prof. Gambari has been frustrating the corruption case against him by covering him by dictating for the Minister of water resources among other top Government functionaries to protect him.

The statement concluded by appealing to Mr. President to prove his integrity of his administration by ensuring a full investigation into Dr. Aremu case to ensure that Justice is achieved.

The group also threat to approach the law court to ensure necessary legal action with evidences should the President fails.

Group Fumes At President Over Choice Of Bade LG Caretaker Chairman

 *decries marginalisation 

A group,  Bade Progressive Forum (BPF) has frowned at the Senate President, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan over his choice of Ibrahim Babagana (Yurema) as the Bade Local Government Committee Caretaker Chairman.

The group expressed this in a statement signed by its Coordinator, Alhaji Mohammed Galadima, made available to our correspondent on Monday November 14, 2022.

"It is of note that the constituents from Bade LGA and other communities in the Yobe North Senatorial District are not pleased with the leadership style of the President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan, PhD, GCON. 

These gross escalated when the President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan nominated one Ibrahim Babagana (YUREMA), as the Bade Local Government Committee Caretaker Chairman," the statement said. 

The group said that It is generally believed that the nominated Ibrahim Babagana is not supposed to be the beneficiary of such elevated seat, despite commitments from other loyalists who stood firm in both thick and thin.

"Parts of what we can describe as marginalisation in Dr. Lawan's style of leadership and selection are stated thus:

"Despite that Bade tribe is the majority in the local Government, the Commissioner is from Manga tribe. 

"Secondly, APC Party Chairman is also from Manga tribe. The Co- ordinator Tinubu/Shettima is from Manga tribe and Chairman caretaker committee selected by Dr. Ahmed I. Lawan is from the same Manga tribe, Ibrahim Babagana (Yurema) by name.

"With all these imbalances, Bade tribe have been marginalized by Dr. Ahmed I Lawan and his so called Boys," the group pointed out.

They reminded  President of the Senate  that, "all power belongs to Allah and He will give to whomsoever He wishes". 

They accused Lawan of deliberately hindering the political rise of any Bade and Katuzu sons in particular, an act they said,  will not help him retain power forever.

BPF therefore,  called on the Executive Governor of Yobe State, Alhaji Mai Mala Buni, CFR to also look into these marginalisation and act accordingly in redressing these anomalies. 

"Our amiable governor should remember that the Yobe indigenes entrusted him the leadership, which is purely an act of Allah and every human will stand before Him on the judgement day to account for his or her deeds. 

"For the President of the Senate to restore this love and cooperation from the Bade tribe, he must henceforth, shelve all personal interests in selecting political appointments and offices. When this is done, there will be  cooperation and understanding among the people," they said. 

According to the statement,  Bade people are well known to peaceful neighbourliness, "we are dedicated to the growth of our communities and we are fully in support of the activities of the President of the Senate when we are part of the plans. We urge our dear Leader, Dr. Ahmad Lawan to adjust these imbalances and place as part of his priority, the Bade tribe," they demanded.

Sanction parties, candidates sponsoring fake news against Tinubu, Ajaka tells INEC

Chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress and the party's Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Hon Yakubu Murtala Ajaka, has berated the campaign of calumny against the APC Presidential candidate ahead of the 2023 general election.

Earlier on Saturday, a press release purportedly issued by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) indicated that the commission was investigating the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu over alleged involvement in drug trafficking in the United States.

The press release allegedly signed by INEC spokesman, Festus Okoye, stated that the electoral commission is liaising with Northern Illinois District Court to establish the veracity of the allegation against the APC candidate.

However, INEC, in a rebuttal issued on Saturday and signed by Festus Okoy, described the press release and all information in it as fake and contrived.

The Commission also said it has no plan to investigate Tinubu over alleged links with drug trafficking.

“We wish to state categorically that the said Press Release did not emanate from the Commission nor is it pursuing the purported course of action. It is the handiwork of mischief makers and utterly fake,” said INEC.

Also reacting to the misinformation, Ajaka, described it as an unfortunate attempt to malign the APC Presidential candidate.

"It is unfortunate that someone aspiring or a group of people supporting the aspiration of someone can stoop so low with such a diatribe and cheap blackmail to malign the image of a respected personality like Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu."

However, the APC chieftain called on the electoral commission and relevant security agencies to investigate the source of the information.

Ajaka said; "In view of the foregoing therefore, INEC, the Police and other security agencies have a duty to uncover and identify the overt and/or covert authors of this heinous document and be charged for forgery, deceit and deliberate misleading and misinforming the public for cheap political gain.

This action will definitely pave the way for a clean, transparent and acceptable electioneering process ahead of the 2023 General election."

He also demanded that INEC should sanction political parties or candidates who sponsor falsehood, hate and inciting speeches capable of breaching peace.

Allegations: How KWIRS Executive Chairman, Mrs. Omoniyi maliciously replaces Courteville Business solutions with her husband Project Phoenix company

* Says company gives room for fake receipts, perform low, others

Some Concerned Pioneer Staff of  Kwara State Internal Revenue Service (KWIRS) have revealed a bombshell corruption allegations lavishing in the service by the Executive Chairman, Mrs. Shade Omoniyi

The concerned staff stressed alleged that the Mrs. Omoniyi had illegally replaced the Former Consultant on road taxes collection for Kwara State Government with her husband's company called Project Phoenix.

The staff who craved anonymity to avoid victimization said " Aside the allegations on the N8 billions mismanagement funds , I wish to reveal another scam not yet in public that was perpetuated by  Mrs. Shade Omoniyi and her husband. 

The source stated by listing the contributions of Courteville Business solutions plc (AutoReg) former consultant on Road Tax to the Kwara state government towards revenue generation for the economic growth.

 The reliable source said "this company was forced out and replaced by Project Phoenix consultants (the chairman’s husband's platform)

 "Courteville Business Solution plc is the foremost Nigerian e-business solutions company, which is listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange with shareholder's funds in excess of $20million. Their principal focus is the development of e-business solutions for process re-engineering and efficiency improvement in all sectors of the economy and they are supported by an impressive Board of Directors, and highly technical domestic and international alliances.

"They have a medium term vision to ‘’to be a globally accepted business solutions company supplying unique services with locally developed innovations’’.

According to the source "as a business solutions development company, they invented and patented a number of technologies and products that they currently use in providing unique and customised services to various organisations. Companies and government agencies, the most prominent being ‘’AutoReg’’ for automation of Motor Vehicle Administration Documentation (MVAD).

They are currently operational in 22 states of the federation which includes Kwara state since 2018. In their 4 years of operations in Kwara state, they have contributed to the bottom line as per revenue generated from road taxes; stated below are highlights of their positive contribution backed with figures.

Through AutoReg, there has been increased and fully collated, accruable revenue due to Kwara State from vehicle licensing administration."

"Through the seamless user experience of their platform, they have been able increase the efficiency quota in processing of vehicle renewal, registration and elimination of inherent difficulties. These difficulties had contributed to the discouragement of vehicle owners. Also the expansion of their operating tentacles to every local government in the state has ensured that every possible revenue source as it relates to road taxes are covered effectively."

"They had also facilitated the process of creating, expanding and maintaining a robust database for the state; capturing the vehicle make and model, category details, they also have a detailed data of customer's name and addresses.Their well-structured system has also ensured that integration is implemented with other states has taxpayers do not have to go and renew vehicle documents in the registered State.

The source noted that their platform enhance crime control by making recovering of stolen vehicle easier. More than 10 stolen vehicles was recovered in Kwara State during the period under review because the platform prevents double registration of a vehicle. Stolen vehicles are reported and flagged to avoid re-registration.

The old Courteville Business Solution plc used an agile system of iteration to ensure that the system complemented the efforts of the state in the efficient and effective enforcement of motor vehicle documentation administration laws, traffic monitoring and control.

The source noted that based on the readily available information on the database, the State law enforcement officials are now able to easily trace and apprehend traffic offenders and serve such persons with the relevant fines.In terms of revenue generated, GROSS REVENUE (N)

GROWTH 2018 (8months)

N174,993,462.50 first year operation; 2019 N232,074,425.00 which is 75.40% increase;  in 2020 it generated N367,218,094.00, 63.20% increase. While in 2021 a total sum of N565,510,030.00 represented 4.94% increase.

The concerned Staff emphasized that the figures for 2018 (first year of operation) represent May – December 2018, only 8 months.

"Despite the Roadworthiness service line being withdrawn from a very competent company and awarded to an incompetent Consultant, Project phoenix, (The company of the husband of Mrs. Shade Omoniyi), during the period in review, this action did not deter the efforts of Courteville Business Solution plc, to grow the revenue base in the state.

" I will outline the disadvantages of project Phoenix (the company owned by Mrs. Shade Omoniyi's husband) to the Kwara state government and citizens.

Project Phoenix is a stand alone platform that is only used in kwara state, the platform commenced operation on 1st of August 2022 after the disengagement of the former service provider (AutoReg).

The disadvantage according to the staff are Generation of low revenue due to lack of data and the platform instability, the revenue to be generated in the state would be taken to neighboring states.

" It gives room for fake licenses, vehicle registration and renewal,  Stolen vehicles can not be tracked or traced as crime from neighboring/ bordering states are sent to kwara because no data to confirm such informations.

"Pilfering and theft by processors/operators: the operating processes (change of ownership, direct levy, revalidation) has not been fully automated on the platform. Operators can decide to treat any of the listed processes as an existing service as their are no data to confirm the validity of vehicle informations.

" There is a lot of discomfort and confusion for travelers; police tends to disturb taxpayers with renewed vehicle documents from kwara state because it looks fake in appearance, AutoReg has an application that confirms the validity of all vehicles licences. Taxpayers are always embarrassed as they do not know how to convince the police and law enforcement agencies on the genuineness of their vehicle papers.

The source appealed to Kwara state Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq to  probes the operation of the KWIRS as it is clear that Mrs. Omoniyi is taking Kwara state to the cleaners and stealing as much she can with every available opportunity. 

"We the staff of KWIRS are all compelled to live under the continuous threat of sack by the wicked and shameless leadership led by Shade Omoniyi."

Buhari Group Promise to Deliver 16 Million Votes Across Northern States for Tinubu

  

...Says No going Back on Power shift to South 

Group under aegis of Buhari Votes Guard and Awareness (BVGA)has vowed to mobilise support across the 19 northern states to deliver nothing less sixteen million votes for the former Governor of Lagos State and  Presidential flagbearer , Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the forthcoming 2023 general election .

According to him , the Northerners are people with high consciousness and respect  for equity; justice and fairness ,thus the resolved to back a southern candidate in APC  for the presidency.

The Coordinator of Buhari Votes Guard and Awareness ,Dr. Kailani Muhammad who disclosed this while briefing journalists in Kaduna on Sunday said It grossly unfair to vote another northerner as president after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari expires.

He further said " The issue of rotation is common knowledge,it was started by PDP for power to rotate between north and south . Now that it is the turn of the South ,they are bringing Atiku to come and contest ,it is not possible .

"We have meet and agreed to shift power to the South and South-West in particular and by the grace of God, Tinubu is Nigeria's next President .

"He has the capacity to deliver and turn around the economy on the lane of sustainable progress and development .

We saw how he turned around the economy of Lagos during his days as Governor,to the extent that Lagos  economy is now 740 percent, which is more than the entire economy of West Africa .

"Aside physical infrastructural development ,he developed the human capital to the extent that they were not only effective and efficient and rewarded performance .He made many people ,from politicians to business men millionaire and  multi-millionaires today 

"We believe he's going to turn around Nigeria and that is why we have resolved to support him and by the grace of God Asiwaju Tinubu will win the election and emerge as   the next President of Nigeria.

On how he would mobilise the 16 Million Votes ,Dr Kailani explained,"I have the experience as a grassroots politician ,who have contested for Governorship in Kaduna State and we have revived our structures to do the magic .

"We did grassroots mobilisation for my late mentor ,Alhaji Aliyu Rufai ,Who died a year ago , he was the elder brother to current Kaduna State Governor.He contested for Governorship while I was the Campaign Director.We have revived this movement in Kaduna State.

"We have captured 80 percent of the voters in Kaduna State,which we are delivering for Tinubu.

"You saw the massive crowd that attended the Quaranic graduation ceremony at my residence  ,but we are going to converge a general meeting in the next one or two weeks 

"Whether we like it or not by the grace of God Asiwaju Tinubu is the next President of Nigeria."

Speaking on reasons Nigerians should not vote Atiku, according to him ,he  has no basis to contest for election in this country ."We have been reiterating it he sold over 80 percent companies to his friends and cronies.

"He granted interview recently, where he reemphasize that he  would sell NNPC and other national assets.We would not allow such person to come and  govern Nigeria."

Reacting to  question on the Labour Party Presidential Flagbearer ,Mr Peter Obi growing support base , Dr. Kailani said, " We want peace in this country ,we shall not allow any Igbo man, yes the Igbos are our brothers and sisters ,but we would not allow them to  come on board in 2023, because Obi cannot speak to IPOB.

"IPOB are looking for Biafra ,they are fighting and killing innocent people ,they have even made a law in Southeast now, sit-at-home , their economy has been damaged .

"They kill our people everyday and they want Biafra ,so, nobody wants war ,we want  peace and tranquility  to reign in Nigeria and that is why we want Tinubu who has done it before and will do it again .

SDP Presidential Candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo Promises Reform In Pharmaceutical Industrry

The Social Democratic Party(SDP) Presidential Candidate, Prince Adewole Adebayo has promised a reform in Nigeria’s Pharmaceutical industry if elected into power.

Prince Adebayo spoke during the 95th Annual National Conference of Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria on Thursday 3rd November in Jos, Plateau State.

The SDP presidential candidate says his party will create a stable environment in order for the pharmaceutical industry to be able to conduct research that will benefit the health sector and the economy.

He said, “You need a stable environment, the country has to be secure, then the business environment has to be protected and the regimes have to have policies that are stable so that your investments don't go to waste. 

“The first thing we will guarantee you is stability; your neighborhood will be safe. There will be no riots, no unrest, and no boundaries, no kidnapping. You will be able to set up concerns from possible research to production, even to dispensation where you have your pharmacies across”.

Speaking further on his plans to enhance the health sector, Adebayo said, “I will ensure that public hospitals, including public dispensaries, are well-stocked and they are up to date. 

“I would ensure that professionals when they finish from school, the first point of call before they go into private practice is a strong public health sector so that you will have spent a number of years using government money to do government resources, to do facilities before you go out to major on your own. The best health care people should be retained by the government.

“Thirdly, we will stabilize our currency. I'm not saying I will give you 1 naira to $1, no, I am saying that for planning purposes, if you have 500 naira to the dollar in year one you have 500, not a dollar. 

“The last thing which I will do is that we should have a system for the retention of our manpower in this country”.

He also noted that the economy needs to be kept stable because a lot of the components for the health sector, like medicine manufacturing, has foreign trade component to it. 

Adebayo further disclosed that his party will take care of poverty, create nutritional balance for Nigerians by making sure there’s food supply, provide housing and create adequate access to healthcare.

“In our government, we will take care of poverty, and to take care of poverty, you need to do five things. 

“First, you need to know that the revenue coming into the country has to be preserved for the people of that country; second thing we will do is that we need to give nutritional balance to our people; then housing which is very important to health and to instability; then we deal with general issue of accessing health care.

“The fifth component is that we need to give education to our people; education is what differentiates you from your cousins who are bricklayers, carpenters and whatever”, he said.

Prince Adewole said his government will support the pharmacy profession so that it will be self-regulating and have the highest standard of professional training given to pharmacists within the country and internationally.

He said, “Because pharmaceutical field is also an employment both in the public and private sector, we will ensure that you have living wages and people who practice pharmacy do not automatically sign the oath of poverty”.

The SDP presidential candidate was accompanied by former minister of sports, Solomon Dalung, Sen Ugochukwu Uba, Pastor  Ade Alabi, Godwin Osigbeme.

Other persons present at the conference were Omoyele Sowore of AAC, representatives from other parties includes, Labour Party Plateau State Youth coordinator and  Nentawe Yilwatda, APC Plateau State gubernatorial candidate.

The theme of the conference was: “Synergizing Healthcare Professionals For Effective Delivery: Nigeria Post 2023 In Context”.

Mr LA Vs Sardaunan Badarawa: Matters Arising

By; MIKE ODEH JAMES 

Tension is mounting within the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kaduna as uncertainty sets in. 

Last week, a high court sitting in Kaduna on pre-election matters nullified the Peoples Democratic Party's primary election for Kaduna Central Senatorial District. 

The primary produced Mr. Lawal Adamu Usman popularly known as Mr. LA as the candidate for the PDP in the forthcoming 2023 general election.

Immediately after the PDP senatorial primary, Usman Ibrahim also called Sardaunan Badarawa who was the runner up, and one other member of the PDP who disagreed with the result of the primary and petitioned the PDP at the national level.

Surprisingly,  the party at the national level set up a rerun committee following the petition by Sardauna Bardarawa immediately after the initial primary election, automatically invalidating  the primary in Kaduna. 

Chieftains of the party at both the national and state levels,  instead of taking advantage of internal mechanism  and settling the issue amicably, allowed it to fester leading to the present court case. Analysts are of the opinion that the PDP is once again boxing itself into a tight corner.

According to Ahmadu Usman Yusuf, a political analyst, the nullification of the Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone primary would cause a setback for PDP.

Yusuf further enunciated how Mr LA endeared himself to the masses in Kaduna.

"Before the coming of Lawal Adamu Usman into the PDP, the Sardaunan Badarawa and many other decamped from the party and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC). However, Mr.LA  took the burden of sustaining the PDP.

"In 2019, Lawal Adamu Usman rejuvenated the PDP  from an ailing  party into a winning party as it actually won the Kaduna Central Zone, but was cheated out of victory due to the power of incumbency.

"Despite losing out at the court, Mr .LA did not abandon the PDP and the people of the state, he doled out a whooping N100,000,000  to the three senatorial districts in the state. These cash was meant to help the poorest of the poor in the society. 

"Mr. LA further endeared himself and the PDP to the people of the state when he  set up a fund to cater for all indigent students in higher institutions,  who could not afford the new tuition introduced by the APC-led administration.

" Many parents breathed a sigh of  relief from the burden of paying school fees which was through Usman's philanthropic gestures.

For these, Kaduna people are eternally grateful to him.

It would therefore, be disastrous for LA to be replaced now.

"For Mr. Ovyeh Ishaya, an indigene of Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna, it is only Lawal Adamu Usman that resonates within our community. When others left the party and were supporting the APC against the people, only Mr. LA stood for us. If he is removed now, we may have no option but to vote against the PDP," he added.

Many political observers have argued along the lines of Ovyeh Ishaya that Mr LA stood for the party and the people of Kaduna South when the Sardaunan Badarawa was in APC. They argued that Sardaunan Badarawa shouldn't have been allowed into the party and given waiver to contest the primary few months into the contest.

Alhaji Abdulrahman Baki went ahead to state that the entrance of Sardaunan Badarawa into the PDP was the grand plot of the ruling party at the state to cause confusion ahead of the 2023 general election.

He said, "The Sardaunan Bardarawa is a close confidant of Kaduna State Governor Nasir  el-Rufai and he has been his right hand man. The moment he came back to the PDP,  I knew that he was on a mission to destroy the internal cohesion of the party so as to prevent Mr. Lawal Adamu Usman from defeating the APC candidate. 

He blamed the PDP officials at the state level for allowing Sardunan Badarawa  into the PDP without proper checks.

"The moment Sardunan Badarawa was allowed into the party, I knew there would be trouble and I blamed the party officials for it.

For Johnson Usman, money and greed on the part of the party officials contributed to the mess. 

"That’s what’s killing the PDP particularly in the state, new entrants with money can do away with people who have kept faith and stood for the party, even when it  wasn’t fashionable to do so. All you need to do as a new entrant is to buy cars and share or just bankroll personal bills of those calling the shots in the party, that’s all.

He further added that, "Mr LA has paid his dues for the party, particularly in Kaduna Central District  and I am sufficiently convinced he will prevail at the end.

The ultimate aim of both  contenders is to see that each  emerges as the candidate of PDP for the Kaduna Central Senatorial Zone. 

However, many observers believe that with the absence of Senators Shehu Sani and Uba Sani, Mr. LA would easily  beat the APC candidate.

However, that cannot be said of Ibrahim, who has not contested an election, nor has been very active in the political space in Kaduna.

It is therefore, only pertinent to warn that the PDP in Kaduna maybe committing a political suicide if the Senatorial ticket of Kaduna Central is denied Mr. LA.

2023: The unguided words of Sen Abbo are chasing him to his political Golgotha-Digil

With a lamentable tune and regrettable utterances, Engr Abubakar Adamu Digil accused the Senator representing Adamawa North zone, Mr. Ishaku Elisha Abbo of allowing Youthful exuberance to beclouded his political line of thoughts and sense of reasoning.

Digil who said is from Mubi and in 2019 has supported Senator Ishaku Abbo in canvassing votes in the entire Mubi Emirate council is regretting his actions because the Senator has failed woefully in terms of quality representation.

According to him, Abbo has used his Mouth to destroy his political career, and his vindictive statements over contemporary issues of politics are now boomeranging as an enemy chasing him to political grave yard.

He said that his words are counting against him to the extent that his supporters are tired of putting up defenses that are not yielding to anything.

Digil recalled that the way and manner Senator Ishaku responded on the All Progressives Congress' Muslim Muslim Presidential ticket, his penchant for hatred for Muslims is glaring and noticeable in the eyes of everyone.

He said Abbo uttered that "Buhari, Tinubu, APC Chairman and anyone that supported the Tinubu/Shetima ticket to sail through are all potential Boko Haram members " this is a serious statement that is biting hard the heart of Muslim politicians and felt bad over the unwarranted statement.

Digil recalled how the Senator went to many outlets including national and international media describing the joint ticket as a slap and disrespectful to the Christian community.

He further recalled how Abbo asserted that the "decision is outrightly a blasphemy and a sacrilege to all Christians in Nigeria, especially those who are card-carrying members of the party."

Digil accused the Adamawa Northern Senator to professed venom of hatred in any Church gathering he visited, calling on them not to support the Muslim Muslim ticket and anyone that does that is a "potential Boko Haram member" has gone beyond his limit of operation.

On the Muslim Muslim ticket also Abbo Stated his position on both his verified social media handles and said that his soul is not for sale, he cannot trade truth for votes, and he cannot be used to cover up injustice.

The condemnation of the Muslim Muslim Ticket by Senator Cliff, an APC stakeholder made Digital view that the aggressive lawmaker has declared open war on all party critical stakeholders.

Digil was perturbed to say that Senator Abbo's views of all "APC members who do not rise against the Muslim Muslim join ticket are potential Boko Haram members" is a denigrating statement that should not be taken lightly.

He said: "The implication of Abbo's statement is simply to mean that both President Muhammadu Buhari, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, the party's national chairman, the party's Presidential candidate, Senator Bola Tinubu, and the fifteen Governors of the party who supported this ticket are all potential Boko Haram members because they have endorsed the ticket and seen its legibility to win the election come 2023.

" This is where he is having an issue, this Man is busily de-marketing the party in our area, given the New Nigerian People's Party's undue popularity.

 

"The question is why is Senator Abbo doing this? It's because he is fast losing relevance in the political circle of Adamawa state. This is the same person holding the party's ticket and is busy captivating and attacking all prominent party men in the name of fighting for the Christian religion.

"I'm calling for a rescue mission to our party and the only way to do it is to sanction Abbo by sending him out of the party, even if it means voting against him. Because is dividing us more along religious and tribal lines that we don't have before.

" You can take or leave, the Muslim gave him the chunk of votes that today is using and parading himself as a Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria"

The Adamawa Northern stakeholder is worried that the anti-party activities of Senator Abbo are becoming more worrisome to the extent of affecting the political arithmetic of the zone and the chances of APC winning the election.

He revealed that the electorates in the area are already having the feeling of not having a candidate in APC and they rather go for any other party to make their voice count and vent their anger that will stop Abbo from winning the election.

"I want to authoritatively tell you that Mubi is the stronghold of APC but with what Abbo is doing a chunk of the votes will be deflected in favor of parties whose logos are hardly known in the state.

"APC will be virtually left with nothing because Cliff has discredited himself and is on the verge of killing the party if something urgent is not done.

" This is a zone control and owned by APC, a zone in search of a credible candid. Right from the onset, one of the reasons why Dr. Belel is out for the seat is because there is no anyone good thereby having the ticket by APC.

"The party, therefore, has to call Senator Abbo into order or seize his membership card of the party. If he is not going with the party's collective agenda, and interest there is no way for the party leaders to allow anti-party to continue to thrive, it will do more harm than good. 

" His behaviors are bad, going unchecked to the detriment of the party. The parents-party should withdraw his membership due to his unrepentant anti-party activities because the party is at liberty to do that.

"Abbo called Kashim a thief and a desperate politician who have stolen the mandate of the Christians, going to the extent of releasing old pictures with Catholic Bishops as proof of his endorsements of Christians to the mobilization of fake Bishops are unguided words that will consume him at the end of the political game in 2023," Digil added

Digil continued to say that Abbo's unwarranted outburst has nosedived and has snowballed him into an unfortunate politician that his enemies will be Chasing to Golgotha for political crucifixion.

HealingStreams: Avalanche of miracles at largest healing crusade with Pastor Chris

It was an unprecedented outpouring of healing miracles, blessings and salvation as the much-talked-about largest healing crusade ever in the world began yesterday. It was the Healing Streams Live Healing Services with Pastor Chris.

In the weeks and months leading up to the Live Healing Services with Pastor Chris, there was much anticipation as people from all over the world published the exceptional encounter with the healing hand of God through the Man of God.

Many prayerfully prepared, publicized the event, partnered towards its success and also prepared places for Healing Centers. The impact reports were gracefully shared during the Road to Healing Streams Live Healing Services.

The day’s service commenced with a session of worship led by the distinctive Loveworld Singers, after which the Director of the Healing School, Pastor Deola Phillips welcomed the global audience to the great moment. She said: “Today is the day that we have anticipated, we have prayed about, we have fasted, we have expected and it’s here. I tell you, you will not leave the way you came and your expectation will not be cut short.”

She went on to open the meeting with prayers and shared from a number of scriptures: Jeremiah 29:11 (AMP), 2 Peter 2:1-2 and Luke 10:5. She explained how God’s desire is for everyone to dwell in peace and how the healing streams will surely flow peaceful waters all over the world. She defined peace as “perfect wellbeing, all necessarily good; freedom from agitating passions, fear and conflict.”

She also told the audience “peace can be delivered to you with words. And that’s why we’re here in this programme, to bring God’s peace to you; in your house, in your home with words of the spirit.”

She encouraged all to be sensitive and actively partake in every segments; yielding to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

This segment was followed by a stirring session of worship, after which, Pastor Deola was joined on set by a senior minister of the Healing School, Reverend Tom Amenkhienan, as they discussed the testimonies emanating from the last edition of the Healing Streams Live Healing Services held in July.

Reverend Tom defined it as glorious, phenomenal and yet the best as there were miracles all the way. He shared several remarkable testimonies, of those who received healing.

One of such testimonies was from Seraphin, who lives in India, and diagnosed of aplastic anemia. This led to bleeding from her gums, an irregular bleeding which caused her severe pains and fatigue, and eating disorder. With great faith, she participated at the July Live Healing Services, where she received total healing.

Other callers from India and the Philippines, according to Reverend Tom, were as excited as Serephin to share their encounter with the Holy Spirit with the live audience.

Prophesying to the participants, he said “the power of God is going to come to where you are, get ready to testify”

Reverend Ray, another senior Minister of the Healing School, who hosted live calls from participants around the world. In Northern Ireland, the callers were geared up and excited for the Live Healing as miracles had already begun; they recorded the miracle of salvation!

Reverend Ray inspirited participants with these words, “keep your expectations very high, as the Lord will surely fulfill them. Today is your day and the Lord is ready waiting for you, step up into the streams and receive your miracle.”

The next segment facilitated by Evangelist Eddy Owase, also a senior minister of the Healing School, starred astounding testimonies with live testifiers from all over the world either present in the arena or calling in live to share their stories.

Fifteen year old Prisca Mosike was one of the live testifiers. What started as ordinary head and stomach pains, led to a year-and-a-half long rollercoaster of treatments.

The doctors treated her of malaria and typhoid for over a month, but her condition worsened. Eventually, she was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, the doctors recommended a six month therapy; which she underwent, yet no change. During this period she faced severe effects, such as not being able to urinate or defecate, loss of hair and appetite, fainting at unexpected times and consistent blood loss.

Prisca was confined indoors and commenced a new phase of treatment where she required bi-weekly blood transfusion. When things got worse, the doctors recommended dialysis. At this point her family was at the verge of giving up. They heard of the Healing Streams Live Healing Services, and registered her for this life-changing experience.

This was her final destination. As Prisca was ministered to by Pastor Chris, instantly, things metamorphosed!

The final testifier for the segment was the renowned Duel Orok, a pilot whose ordeal started from an erroneous appendicitis surgery. The young man underwent eight operations and had lost 80% of his intestines which were removed during these surgeries. Duel, became totally incapacitated, unable to move and became dependent on family members for basic things. He was in dire need of a miracle.

Duel’s moment of change came as Pastor Chris ministered to the global audience during the July 2022 Healing Streams Live Healing. The hand of God in the life of a man was the case here as he was immediately able to remove the 14 support tubes connected to his body and walk!

The tales of triumphs from these testifiers are inexhaustible. Evangelist Eddy Owase, charged the global audience to be expectant: “This is your own moment, this is your day, there is no limitation, anywhere you are, you can receive a miracle.”

The power of God cut through borders and boundaries and testimonies were already gushing in, and many more were expectant for their miracle.

The Loveworld Singers, led soul-stirring worship to usher in the Man of God Pastor Chris. The atmosphere was totally charged up by the Holy Spirit, there were awe-inspiring lyrics, holy hands lifted up, and tears rolled down effortlessly in heartfelt worship that was led by Pastor Chris.

Exhortation followed this segment, with Pastor Chris teaching of the greatest revelation of God. He said “The greatest revelation of God that was ever communicated to human beings was in Jesus Christ. That’s why He was called the son of God.”

He said this revelation changed everything that was known of God, as it proved God’s love and care for the human race.

Pastor Chris explained how, when a Christian is born again he receives that same life; that resurrection life. He further reiterated, “not only does Jesus gave us this wonderful eternal life, He also came to live in us through the Holy Spirit.  When you receive the Holy Spirit, the Bible says you don’t live by the world standard, your body doesn’t live by blood or all the plumbing inside. It no longer lives by the same life it had when you were born of your parent. When you receive the Holy Spirit, this Holy Spirit makes your mortal body come alive. You live differently; by the spirit not by blood.”

Then the moment came, Pastor Chris began ministering to participants in the studio, those watching on the screen and people everywhere. The Blind regained their sight, stretchers were thrown away, deaf ears popped open; what a continuation of the works of Jesus!

Brandon, in South Africa, was one of the thousands who testified of God’s blessing as a result of the service. He had carried a pain in his left hip for several months, which affected his sleep and movement. His time for change came during the worship session led by the Loveworld Singers. He can now freely move his hip without pain and stands effortlessly.

What a service! Truly, Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! Divine encounters in many nations and cities as the spirit of God touched all who made themselves available.

The Healing Streams is a wave of God’s love and this wave continues on Saturday, November 5, 2022, 2:30 p.m. (GMT+1) on the Healing Streams TV (www.healingstreams.tv) and the Healing School Mobile App.

There is no limitation to the ministry of the Spirit; there are no boundaries, or barriers of time, space, or location. Everywhere you are, the power of God will locate you. It’s your time to be healed.

*says Bayelsa not interested in calamity competition 

Former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Yekini Nabena, has condemned the Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, Sadiya Farouq, over her comments that Bayelsa State is not among the 10 most affected states in the country reeling under floods.

The minister who appeared at the ministerial media briefing organised by the Presidential Communications Team at the Presidential Villa on  Thursday, had claimed that “Bayelsa is not among the 10  worst hit states, but Jigawa is."

According  to the minister, the criteria used to arrive at the conclusion was based on the following indices: the number of deaths recorded and displaced persons per state, number of injuries, partially damaged, houses totally damaged, and farmlands partially and totally damaged.

But faulting the minister through a statement on Friday in Abuja, the Bayelsa born APC chieftain said the federal government should be interested on how to quickly prevent reoccurrence of the phenomenon, adding that the flooding is preventable.

The former APC spokesman warned the Humanitarian Affairs minister not to bring religion and tribe into the current flood disaster. 

"See official jealousy! The woman is worried that Bayelsa is receiving all the attention. She would have preferred Jigawa state which she has awarded the first position. 

Madam minister should not worry herself because Bayelsa state will not be interested in this kind of competition as to who would come first in a calamity.  

"The minister should be more concerned about how the federal government will prevent reoccurrence of the phenomenon. It is preventable and mitigatable, since flood has a known circle," Nabena said.

While challenging the Minister to tell the world if she had ever visited the Niger Delta since the current disaster happened, Nabena warned that "this is a warning for madam minister not to bring in religion and tribe into the flood disaster. 

"One will wonder if as a minister for humanitarian affairs you ever  visited the Niger Delta region to know the level of this disaster they have been facing after drilling the oil and the cost of spillages everywhere in the region," the APC chieftain queried.
