Igbos Voted Atiku, Why Demand SFG From Buhari? - Northern Group Mocks Ohanaeze

The Coalition of North-Central Youth in Politics (CNYP) on Sunday
lambasted South east leaders under the aegis of Ohanaeze Ndigbo for asking
President Muhammadu Buhari to give the zone Secretary to the Government
of the Federation (SGF) slot.
This was contained in a communique signed by Alhassan Mohammed, the
Convener and Hon. Aliyu Musa, the Secretary, after an emergency meeting
held in Abuja.
The group said: “It is not news that Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of
the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) was not just endorsed by this group of
Igbos but posted a stellar performance in the South eastern states, recording
85 per cent votes in Enugu, Ebonyi, Abia and Anambra States.
“This clearly shows that the Ibo rejected the progressives path, thereby
pitching tent with the old order.”
CNYP said it was laughable that the Igbo want to harvest where they did not
sow, asking that: “Are Ohanaeze playing the role of the Baboon in the popular
Nigeria adage of Monkey de work Baboon de chop?”
“In the election that returned President Buhari as winner, North West
produced the highest number of votes. The region is followed by North East.
“Today, the northeastern region has been compensated with the office of
President of Senate and the Southwest which came fouth in Votes for the
APC have also been compensated with the office of the Speaker in addition
to the position of the Vice President”.
The statement added that that North-Central zone which came third in terms
of votes for the party should be considered for the Office of the Secretary to
the Federation.

PDP condemns closure of AIT and Ray Power, says its an attempt to gag the media

Press statement from the PDP The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemns, in its totality, the unrelenting attempt by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled federal government to cage the media as being witnessed in the ferocious attacks on Africa Independent Television (AIT) by government agencies, particularly the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC). The party says it is evident that the attack on AIT is targeted at intimidating and gaging the media, repress constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech and stifle public opinion, particularly as related to the determination by Nigerians to retrieve the stolen Presidential mandate at the tribunal. This clamp down on AIT as well as earlier siege on other media houses and journalists under the APC administration, ostensibly point to a plot to frighten and asphyxiate the media, shut down outlets perceived to hold dissenting views and ultimately foist a siege mentality on our citizenry to restrain their demand

POLITICS: FG Seizes Oil Blocs From Kola Abiola, Others

For five of Nigeria’s oil tycoons, it is a final goodbye to the oil blocs which they have sat on for so many years, turning into profitless, resourced- draining, debt-ridden, unproductive ventures on their watch. After many years of losing billions of Naira to joint ventures which were yielding little or nothing into the national treasury, the federal government finally declared enough is enough. As you read this, Summit Oil International, currently run by Kola Abiola, the eldest child of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential elections, MKO Abiola, has lost its rights to Oil Prospecting License (OPL) 206. The company had been groaning under heavy debt burden, rendering it incapable of developing the juicy oil field. It is currently fighting against a winding up petition instituted against it at the federal high court by Seistech Energy Company over an alleged failure to fulfil its contractual obligations. In the same boat are four other companies whose oi
