Buhari Is Running Nigerian Government Now From London - Atiku Reacts Over Buhari's Signing Of Bills In London

MASTER REPORTERS GLOBAL NEWS

Breaking the news from around the globe.

The former Vice President and major contenders in 2019 Presidential election, Atiku Abubakar has accused President Buhari of running Nigerian Government from London after Buhari signed the amended Deep Offshore Bill into law in London, the United Kingdom.

Mr Atiku condemned Buhari’s actions after he failed to transfer power to Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo as he had done several times in the past. ” It is totally wrong for the President to run the Government of Nigeria in London, the right thing is to delegate power to his vice. But he failed to do so.

This implies that all memos, bills and other documents requiring the President’s signature must be taken to London for signing.

The former vice President reacted after the Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu said in a statement that the President assented to the bill in London.

The statement reads: “Today (Monday) is an important day for all Nigerians – but particularly the young generation.

“I signed into law the amended Deep Offshore Act. Nigeria will now receive its fair, rightful and equitable share of income from our natural resources for the first time since 2003.

“In that year oil prices began a steep increase to double – and at times – triple over the following decade.

“All this time Nigeria has failed to secure its equitable share of the proceeds of oil production, for all attempts to amend the law on the distribution of income have failed. That is, until today (Monday).”

Buhari said rapid reductions in the cost of exploration, extraction and maintenance of oil fields had occurred over the past 25 years, just as sales prices have risen within the period.

The President added: “A combination of complicity by Nigerian politicians and feet-dragging by oil companies has, for more than a quarter-century, conspired to keep taxes to the barest minimum above $20 per barrel – even as now the price is some three times the value.

“Today this changes. For the first time under our amended law, 200 million Nigerians will start to receive a fair return on the surfeit of resources of our lands. Increased income will allow for new hospitals, schools, infrastructure and jobs.

“Today marks a new and beneficial relationship with our oil company partners: one that benefits all – starting with the Nigerian people.”

APC Backs Buhari Over Border Closure

The ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) on Tuesday gave its strong support for the federal government on continued closure of the country’s borders as ordered by President Muhammadu Buhari

The party’s National Working Committee (NWC) while backing the order, despite reports of its biting effect on the citizens said Nigeria can no longer be a dumping ground for all manners of importation.

The National Chairman of the party, Adams Oshiomhole, also rejected a request made by the visiting Deputy Prime Minister of Vietnam for the country to be allowed to export the country’s rice to Nigeria at a subsidised rate.

The Communist of Vietnam Tuesday had appealed to the ruling All Progressives Congress through its National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole to urge the federal government to open its borders and allow it to be importing Vietnamese rice at reduced prices.

Deputy Prime Minister of the Vietnam, Vuong Dinb Hue, who led a delegation to meet the APC Chief and members of the party’s NWC in Abuja said they had also scheduled a meeting with Vice President Yemi Osinbajo with view to restating the same position.

Speaking at the end of his meeting with the Vietnam leaders, Oshiomhole insisted that the border would remain closed until Nigeria’s neighbouring countries abide by the ECOWAS law, adding that Vietnamese farmers can come to the country and invest in rice production.

“Nigerians should unanimously back the decision of the Federal Government to close the borders until our neighbours decide to respect the laws of fair and free trade.

“Nigeria must not and cannot be a dumping ground for imported foods, imported rice and other smuggled chemicals and drugs into our country.

“I think this is one policy that across party divides, across primordial sentiments, people should salute the courage of President Muhammadu Buhari in shutting down the borders because for too long, we have been a big brothers to our neighbours.

“Now, that big brother is hurting us and hurting us very badly. We must secure ourselves as they say when you board an aircraft that if oxygen fails and they drop the mask, help yourself before helping others.

“This is the moment we must keep those borders shut. If we do so for two, three years, it doesn’t matter, our neighbours will learn to respect the rules of international engagement and the rules of trade.

“We cannot continue to rely on imported rice. That was why I told the DPM, when he talked about allowing Vietnamese rice to come to Nigeria. I said No, we are not going to do that, we will not do that.

“On the contrary, we are prohibiting the importation of rice, not just that CBN denied the foreign exchange because there are linkages of forex unofficial. We don’t need imported rice because when I was growing up, and when you are growing up, we didn’t grow on imported rice. We must recognize that we are facing serious economic challenges.”

Insulting Leaders Through Social Media Shows Lack Of Parental Upbringing - Emmanuel Udom

By  Jerrywright Ukwu

- Governor Udom Emmanuel is concerned about the misconduct of some youths on social media - The governor is not happy that some young ones are using social media to abuse elders and those in leadership positions - The governor stated that the action of the youths involved is a result of poor upbringing Governor Udom Emmanuel has frowned at the habit of some Akwa Ibom youths using social media platforms to insult people in leadership positions.

According to the governor, the unruly behaviour by the culprits is a result of poor upbringing. The governor made the statement while addressing a church congregation in the state capital, Uyo on Sunday, October 13. He urged parents to put efforts into ensuring that their children are raised in a way that pleases the almighty God. Governor Emmanuel further said the consequences of not paying attention to children brings about youth restiveness, deviance, and lawlessness experienced in society.

“If you have lived up to your responsibility to your children, my job would have been fifty% done, because it is the attitude of every single child that will determine the level that child can go to,” the governor told his audience. He urged children in Akwa Ibom to be respectful to constituted authorities, their parents as well as elders in the society He noted that if Christians live by God's words, society would be much better and attract blessings from God.

Governor Emmanuel recently presented a budget proposal to the state House of Assembly which places emphasis on education, industrialization and poverty reduction. The document is predicated on the policy thrust of the Udom administration, to gradually metamorphose Akwa Ibom's civil service status, to a largely private-sector driven state.

North Will Immediately Remove Any President Who Attempts To Implement 2014 Confab - Junaid Muhammed

MASTER REPORTERS GLOBAL NEWS

Breaking the news from around the globe.

Junaid Mohammed, elder statesman and Second Republic federal lawmaker was a delegate to the 2014 National Conference convened by the Goodluck Jonathan administration. In This interview with TEMIDAYO AKINSUYI, he spoke on why the recommendations of the conference can’t be implemented and other issues. Excerpts:

insecurity in their states, some governors have been negotiating with bandits and in some cases, giving them money. Do you think this is a right approach?

It is not. I believe it is a very dangerous trend. It shows that the governors are not sincere and they have underfinanced the security system even though they make billions of naira in the name of maintaining security. Essentially, they have been stealing the money which was earmarked for security. So, I don’t accept the idea of negotiating with bandits. It is a bad idea and I believe instead of paying off the bandits, they can finance the police and assist the DSS and other security organisations. It shows what will happen in the state if governors are allowed to set up their private policemen. It is going to be disastrous and make Nigeria ungovernable.

Some Nigerians are calling for the implementation of the 2014 national conference as a way of addressing some of the challenges facing the country. What is your take on this?

Those saying that, have they read the report? Has anyone of us who attended the conference told Nigerians what aspect we want to be implemented? I was at the 2014 national conference. I represented Kano state which is one of the two biggest states in the country. I had been involved in several conferences in the past and even after the 2014 conference, we also had another one here in Kano concerning the state. As far as I am concerned, that 2014 confab is a fraud. What they are purporting to be the report is a fraud. Most of the issues that we discussed which were rejected were brought back into the final report through the backdoor. They did that with the full cooperation of the then President Goodluck Jonathan. But we defeated every issue they brought even though we are in the minority. If you want to have a constitutional conference, one, it must be a representative of the whole country so that people don’t feel marginalised especially those who are in the majority in the country. The north has been in the majority in the country even before 1914. You cannot have a constitutional conference in which the North has been reduced to minority in the country and you say you are having a constitutional conference. And in spite of that,we still defeated them.

In fact, I want somebody from the South to become the President and attempt to implement the report of the 2014 conference; we will kick him out in no time. You cannot be a democrat and pretend that it doesn’t matter who are the people who constitute the majority in the country. Democracy in itself means credible free and fair election. Whatever we do, that principle must be represented. If they want to try it, let them try it. It is one of the gimmicks that Jonathan attempted but he failed. In fact, initially, the idea in the North here was that we should not attend the conference but we thought doing so may lead to the break-up of the country and we don’t want to be held responsible historically for that kind of very serious step. So, we went, we saw and we defeated them.

Do you think it is morally right for a northerner to aspire for the Presidency in 2023 after President Buhari must have completed his two terms if he survives the judgment of the Supreme Court?

What do you mean by morally right? Politics and morals are two different aspects of human endeavour. First and foremost, if you know my history, from the Second Republic, I have never supported the idea of zoning or rotation. Though many Nigerians accept the idea of zoning or rotation, I don’t. But at the same time, the South East has not accepted the principle. PDP accepted the principle because they want everybody to have the opportunity to steal public money. They want it to go round. If Nigerians are serious, if a party because of zoning should put forward an unpopular or unacceptable candidate, they should simply refuse to vote for him. But in a democracy, saying we should dedicate certain positions to some people in what is supposed to be a democratic free and fair election is wrong.

As Second Niger Bridge And Ogoni Cleanup Are Scam, Igbo Presidency Will Also Be A Scam, Watch Out! - Nnamdi Kanu

MASTER REPORTERS GLOBAL NEWS

Breaking the news from around the globe.

Leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Chief Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has declared that Igbo Presidency in 2023 is not real, it’s like second Niger Bridge and the Ogoni cleanup.

Kanu said this in a live broadcast on Radio Biafra, on Monday, October 7th, 2019.

We recall that several Igbo groups including the Ohanaeze Youth Council, OYC, had called on other ethnic groups in Nigeria to support the Igbo presidency project, saying that it would end the agitation for a sovereign state of Biafra.

Speaking in his latest broadcast, Kanu stated that “the idea that the Igbo presidency will end the agitation for Biafra is nonsense.”

He said that the presidency coming to the Southeast will not make the lives of those living in the region any better, arguing that the North has the presidency but still has beggars, banditry, and camps for Internally Displaced Persons, IDP.

“Having the presidency will not make your life better, the North has the presidency but has beggers, banditry, and IDP camps,” Kanu said.

The IPOB leader further said,

“Igbo presidency is a dream, it’s like second Niger bridge and Ogoni cleanup.”
