MAMA TARABA MEETS BUHARI, KEEPS MUM ON ATIKU

MAMA TARABA MEETS BUHARI, KEEPS MUM ON ATIKU A loyalist of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who is also the Minister of Women Affairs, Aisha Alhassan, today declined comment on Atiku's defection from the All Progressives Congress. The minister met with Buhari after she, alongside other cabinet members, had attended the launch of the Policy Framework and National Action Plan for Preventing and Countering Violent Extremism. When approached by State House correspondents for an interview on Atiku's exit from the APC, the minister declined. Alhassan had in September, this year, said that she would support Atiku for the 2019 presidential election. In an interview with BBC Hausa at that time, she had said that even if President Muhammadu Buhari decides to contest in 2019, she would still support Mr. Abubakar. “Atiku is my godfather even before I joined politics,” the minister had then stated.

If Atiku Gives Them Money, They Will Jump Like Frogs, Give Him Presidential Ticket - Reuben Abati

If Atiku Gives Them Money, They Will Jump Like Frogs, Give Him Presidential Ticket - Reuben Abati “I hear say Atiku don port oh, from APC to God knows where…” “He used to be a Customs officer. Going from one port to another should not be an issue or a problem for him. It is in the nature of Customs officials to go from one port to another. When they train Customs officials, they train them to just disappear to nowhere when the storm is tough and rough. That is the reason why every Customs official is a prostitute… serving or retired. I know some of them. They are always disappearing and appearing. After oil and gas, customs is the other honey pot of Nigeria. My brother, if you taste a little of that honey pot, your tongue will come out. You will always want to taste more.” “But Alhaji Atiku Abubakar is not a neophyte to the game. He has been Vice President to Ebora Obasanjo for eight years. And since 2007, he has been eyeing that office o...

EXCLUSIVE: Intels formally begs Nigerian Ports Authority, pledges compliance with TSA by Hassan Adebayo About three weeks before the Nigerian Government ordered expatriates working for Intels Nigeria Limited to leave the country, the embattled logistics company had written the Nigerian Ports Authority, NPA apologising and stating its readiness to comply with the government’s Treasury Single Account policy. The move was apparently aimed at resolving the business dispute that climaxed in the termination of the company’s lucrative pilotage contract by the government. However, its decision to seek was not enough to remove Intels from the complex web of problems it faces with the Nigerian authorities, including the NPA, the Nigerian Immigration Service, NIS, and the Oil and Gas Free Zone Authority, OGFZA. The NIS, had, mid-November, revoked the resident permits of Intels’ expatriates and asked them to leave Nigeria by November 30 or risk forced ejection. According to ...

2019: Only Coalition Can Defeat Buhari, Not PDP ― Okupe

2019: Only Coalition Can Defeat Buhari, Not PDP ― Okupe A National leader of the Accord party, Dr Doyin Okupe, has said only a coalition of political forces can defeat President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 and not the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) or any single political party. Okupe, who stated this while addressing members of the Accord party in Ekiti State during the party’s state congress, said “with or without Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, PDP alone cannot defeat President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.” The former presidential spokesman noted, however, that the defection of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) was a big blow to the party and a sign that the party might eventually crash in 2019. Okupe said the APC “might pretend that Atiku’s defection is nothing but it’s definitely a big blow to the party,” saying with the current condition of PDP and APC, Accord presented Nigerians an option as ...
