Early Gossips

Hon Abdulmumni Jubrin says he’s set to expose the corruption in the House of Representatives.

He sent a letter to his colleagues informing them of his next line of action. And published excerpts of the correspondence on Twitter.

After the House suspended Hon. Abdulmumin Jubrin for a year, he says he will continue his fight until justice is served over the allegations he leveled against principal officers in the House of Representatives. And he’ll also expose the systemic corruption in the system.

He advised that any of them who has illegally taken money should return such within a week as he is set to expose them. While they are also to make public the monies they have taken as running cost or he’ll take legal action against them.

“I hereby DEMAND that if you have illegally taken or stolen any money meant for the RUNNING COST, RETURN THE MONEY WITHIN ONE WEEK. FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLARITY, I AM REFERRING TO ABOUT 10MILLION NAIRA YOU COLLECT FROM TAX PAYERS' MONEY MONTHLY OR FAR MORE IN THE PAST [sic]”, it reads.

Edo election: The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has stated that results released by the Independent Nation Electoral Commission (INEC) are fake and that the figures contradict the once announced at various units and as collated at various wards across the state.The PDP in a press statemen said that its rejected the election because ‘the details of the results released by INEC because all of them are fake’.

The Press statement read thus The PDP in Edo State, after carefully reviewing the events of yesterday September 28th, 2016, totally rejects the purported outcome of the voting exercise and the results announced by INEC.

Firstly, we are in total amazement at the details of the results released by INEC because all of them are fake and not the figures announced at various units and as collated at various wards across the state. The fake results announced by INEC are entirely a fabrication which do not reflect the true picture of what transpired during the election. However, we are not totally surprised because long before now, we had anticipated this and had also warned INEC, security agencies and alerted Edo people at various
press conferences and statements, on this situation. ‎ Secondly, based on the results emanating from across the state, PDP won the election fair and square, and with a very comfortable margin. So it is with disgust that we have been receiving fake results which were never recorded in either the units or the ward collation centers. Our rejection of the results released by INEC so far is based on, but not limited to, the following We know that a fair turnout of voters was recorded statewide because the weather was very clement and voters were enthusiastic. However, unknown to unsuspecting Edo electorate, INEC had long provided the serial numbers of all result sheets to Adams Oshiomole and his APC government, to print fresh result sheets. This is not a mere allegation. From the benefit of hindsight, the 18day period of postponement of the election was to provide enough time for the Governor and his government to print these result sheets and perfect the writing of fake results at the units and at all levels of collation. This scenario is further buttressed by the fact that on Monday September 26th, 2016, when election materials arrived from the CBN at INEC state office for inspection, agents of the political parties including the APC and PDP were given pre-typed copies of the serial numbers of all result sheets and the ballot papers. This was a clear security breach and an infringement on the credibility of the process, as these are sensitive materials, which should not have been sighted even by INEC officers. Everything that has transpired had been carefully designed by the Adams Oshiomole led Edo State government and their cohorts in INEC. They perfected a scheme to void thousands of ballot papers, to enable them perpetrate their devices. It is widely recorded that over 88% of the voided ballots were PDP votes. Postings of Commissioners of Police and and removal of officers from their units, even during the voting exercise, was a clear plot to destabilize the security apparatus in various LGAs and Senatorial districts. The same goes for the DSS personnel across the state. Choice of collation from places they chose as well as the choice of the state returning officer, in the person of a close friend and associate of former Governors Fayemi and Niyi Adebayo of Ekiti State, who are top APC chieftains. They also prevented our agents in many cases from entering collation centers. There are numerous accounts and records of Police harassment all over the state, designed to strike fear in the hearts of PDP members, using men of the CIB (Criminal Investigation Department), SARS, MOPOL 60 Command, DSS and other security agencies. Of particular concern is the atrocious gangsterism demonstrated in Etsako West, the home of the incumbent APC Governor and the deputy governor nominee, where many of our members and agents were assaulted, almost mortally, and some still being detained as we speak. Those still detained include Michael Etu, Gabriel Etu and Mohammed Sani. Also, a Honda Accord vehicle, with registration number FST 868 BC, belonging to one of our stalwarts was destroyed, and is still lying at the voting center. There is also the widely reported and recorded case of collation center disruption in Oredo local government, by the notorious Osakpamwan Eriyo, who invaded the venue and released shots in the air, chasing away supporters and people, before making away with the results. This happened in the full glare of the Police, DSS, INEC and other security personnel. Interestingly, neither INEC nor the Police showed any concern or any resistance, even as we speak. It is on record that the level of open financial inducements was unprecedented and indigent voters were being offered between N2,000 and N5,000 to cast their votes, and also forced to display their ballot prints. Numerous videos were posted on social media showing APC members handing out monies to voters, in the full glare of INEC and security officers. Deliberate connivance with INEC staff to steal materials and results in various wards. We particularly take note of materials stolen at Ologbo, Ikpoba Okha, Nikorogha, Ovia South West, Urhonigbe in Orhionmwon, Udaba in Etsako Central, Opoji in Esan Central and many others. To put it mildly, Edo 2016 has turned out to be a travesty of our democracy, and it is calamitous that in spite of all the atrocities committed by APC, nothing happened to thugs like Osakpamwan Eriyo who went to George Idah Primary school in Oredo Local government area, to snatch results in the full glare of the Police, SSS and INEC officials. Shooting, chasing and scaring away voters, and even international observers, is nothing short of a bastardisation of our hard earned democracy. A few days ago, we mentioned in a press statement, that Adams Oshiomole boasted openly, how he had prepared results already for the election, which will be announced, and PDP can go to court. It has been executed today, but the will of Edo people will never be subverted by Adams Oshiomole and his cohorts. We will do everything within the law to claim our mandate. In the words of Plato, the penalty we pay for refusing to participate in politics, and to exercise our right, is that we end up being governed and oppressed by evil men. This impunity must end in Edo State!

Tough times require touch measures.

Pundits and policy makers are looking for ways to shore-up the Naira in the face of the economic recession.

The economic team headed by the Vice-President prescribed the sale of national assets in order to balance the budget deficit. But a cross-section of Labour unions kicked against it.

Recently, the Senate also said it was against such move.

"The senate oppose sale of National Assets to shore up Foreign Reserves" – Senate Leader, Ali Ndume

— Nigerian Senate (@NGRSenate) September 27, 2016

One such pundit, is Channel TV’s head of Business News, Boason Omofaye.

And he prescribes that salaries of Ministers should be reduced. It turned into a debate when Dr Joe Abah,‎Director General at Bureau of Public Service Reforms, countered the suggestion.

Here’s how the discourse went.

Time for Nigeria to cut salaries and benefits of Ministers, etc and shave the payroll too.

— Boason Omofaye (@BBoason) September 27, 2016

@BBoason Boason, you're still on this track? It's a blind alley o. Ministers earn less than N1m per month. What do you want it cut to?

— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) September 27, 2016

@DrJoeAbah Okay Sir. Lead me into lights. We can cut benefits, monthly expenses, meals, etc of Ministers, Legislators, Aides at all levels

— Boason Omofaye (@BBoason) September 27, 2016

@DrJoeAbah Lets improve civil service/public sector work environment, then put measures/reforms on habits, attitudes, discipline, rewards

— Boason Omofaye (@BBoason) September 27, 2016

@BBoason Improve civil service work environment=increase recurrent costs=complaints from you about cost of governance. Make up your mind Oga

— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) September 27, 2016

@DrJoeAbah Increase cost should = Increased Performance & Output that everyone can see and feel. If it doesn't, then there's serious prob

— Boason Omofaye (@BBoason) September 27, 2016

@BBoason Sorry Sir. You're just preaching from the comfort of your plush offices. Why don't we arrange a 1 week internship for you?

— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) September 27, 2016

@DrJoeAbah Maybe a Town Hall with verifiable facts & figures can lay to rest speculations, perceptions that's rife but repeatedly denied

— Boason Omofaye (@BBoason) September 27, 2016

@BBoason No. A Town Hall will make no difference. Salaries are public but you still don't believe. You need to come live the experience!

— Dr. Joe Abah (@DrJoeAbah) September 27, 2016

What’s you take on this?
