In a new very interesting interview with PUNCH, the Vice-Presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, talked about his nomination and finally, whether Pastor Adeboye of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, where he is a pastor, endorsed him or not. Excerpts:

You were not in the early picture of contenders for the vice-presidential slot. When and how did your name pop up?
I think my name was always being mentioned. My name came up early. Maybe a great deal of importance wasn’t attached to it but it came up early.

Missing $20b: Mystery Over Audit Report, Nigeria’s Finance Minister Covering Up Corruption At The NNPC


Nigeria’s most powerful Minister, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has refused to release the much-publicized probe set up to investigate the theft of $20 billion from the country’s treasury through the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

In February 2014, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who is both Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, told Nigerians that the federal government had appointed independent auditors to look into the books of the NNPC and unravel the huge theft which had been exposed by Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, at that time the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).


Buhari doesn’t care about you – PDP chieftain tells Christians

GEN._BUHARI_DECLARATION_904564964 
Hon. Ehiozuwa Johnson Agbonayinma, a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Edo State, has advised Christian communities across Nigeria, to avoid being carried away by General Muhammadu Buhari’s recent romance with the faith.

According to him, Buhari’s desperation to get elected as president is behind his “overture to the church”, which he says, is contrary to his previous leanings and “public positions”.

In a statement issued in Abuja on Saturday, December 27, Agbonayinma accused the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), of having an unholy and questionable romance with the church with the aim of securing the support of the majority in the 2015 presidential election.

Jonathan’s government is not a responsible one - Osinbajo

"The problem is management of resources. If we plug the loopholes, you’ll see the resources being pooled together. Security is the first duty of any government; you cannot fight a war where leadership is uncertain; where leadership is not sure of itself and its responsibilities.

Gov-Rotimi-Amaechi3

Akpabio, Jang, Imoke, Suswam, Others Donate N1billion To PDP While Owing Workers For Months

In all, the PDP and the president raked in over N21 billion, with donations coming from government contractors, nameless associates, and Tunde Ayeni, the head of Skye Bank, who has bought a string of government assets, including the mega telecoms carrier, NITEL/MTEL, in a process that has already become controversial.

As representatives of 21 Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] governors mounted the rostrum Saturday night at the presidential villa in Abuja to announce N1.05 billion in donation to the PDP, back in their respective states, school teachers and other state workers were enduring their second or third month of work without pay.


Opinion: No, we cannot move from a clueless government to an issue-less one by Victoria Ohaeri

Buhari-wept 
 Owkay.. firstly, i didnt write this article.. so nobody should say i'm taking side in this political saga between our President, GEJ and APC presidential candidate, Buhari. I got this article from Ynaija, and found it interesting enough to share with you guys.. Enjoy.
We can no longer leave the business of governance in the hands of the political leadership. It doesn’t just work. It has never worked. When Goodluck Jonathan accidentally became Nigeria’s president after Yar’Adua’s demise in May 2010, his ill-preparedness and unfitness for the lofty assignment associated with the Office of the Presidency was an open secret. Somehow, we excused his inadequacies and assumed that things will improve after some time. We also assumed that he will learn on the job. At worst, he will surround himself with technocrats who will get the job done. How so very wrong we were!

Opinion: Jonathanians and Buharists – Let us compare [A must Read]

Jonathan-Buhari-BN-News-July-2014-BellaNaija.com-01
 I saw these piece on Ynaija, and decided to share it with you guys, i strongly agree with there opinion.
The president must be duly acknowledged as a man that has the ability to tolerate the opposition to a fault but my fear is that if he eventually wins his re-election, will he still be this tolerant of the opposition? One thing for sure, former President Obasanjo couldn’t have been this tolerant. Continue after the cut..
