Knificent.blogspot.com .



Operatives of the Federal Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the Imo State Police Command have arrested the suspected killers of a Catholic priest, Rev Fr.Jude Egbom.

Fr. Egbom of St Patrick’s Catholic church, Amucha, in the Njaba Local Government Area of the state, was shot dead on Monday night at a barber shop along Nkwerre-Anara Road. They also stole his vehicle.

The suspects, Chigozie Uzoukwu, 33, and Peter Ochokwu, 21, were paraded by the state Commissioner of Police, Dasuki Galadanchi on Thursday.

Briefing newsmen, the CP said the suspects were nabbed in Nkwerre on September 11. According to him, he activated the Tactical Units of the command to nab the fleeing criminals, and the efforts of the command paid off with the arrest of the two suspects, recovery of the priest’s vehicle and bag.

It was further gathered that one of the suspects, Ochokwu, was an ex-convict who had spent one year in Owerri prison for alleged involvement in an armed robbery case.

Vote Buying: Oshiomole fires back at Jonathan, says former president is a ''zoologist from the swamps of Otueke who ran a disastrous presidency''.

.National chairman, Adams Oshiomole, has fired back at former presidnet Goodluck Jonathan, who in a statement released by his media aide, Ikechuwku Eze, said Oshiomole is under enormous stress and in a fragile psychological state. Jonathan said this while reacting to Oshiomole's claim that vote buying during an election, started in his administration. Read here.

In a statement released by his chief Press Secretary, Simon Ebegbulem, Oshiomole said Jonathan is a zoologist from the swamps of Otueke who ran a disastrous presidency.  He said it was an all time low for the former president to question Oshiomhole’s mental health in his response.

“If the allegation that the APC national chairman is having psychological issues with the even more specific reference to “multiple personality syndrome,” came from a doctor of human medicine with specialisation in psychology, it could debatably enjoy some merit. But Jonathan is a zoologist from the swamps of Otuoke.  This is clearly veering from his turf and unworthy of further debate. Probably still retaining some remnant of conscience after a disastrous presidency, he was stung when APC national chairman recently correctly accused him specifically and his party of birthing vote-buying and encouraging electoral fraud in Nigeria. After unseemly name-calling, the former President without even addressing the core points raised by Oshiomhole felt the easier path was to counter-accuse the APC leader with exactly the same damning allegation.” Ebegbulem said

The media aide to Oshiomole insited that the Goodluck Jonathan's administration, initiated vote buying in 2015 elections. He alleged that during the elections in Edo state, the former president injected billions of naira as well as other states of the nation to secure votes for his second term bid which he lost to President Buhari

'Buhari Has Been Very Tolerant Of Saraki’ - Ita-Giwa - Politics

Knificent.blogspot.com .

[i]Senator Florence Ita-Giwa, a former senior legislative aide to two former presidents states why The Presidency and t[b]he leadership of the National Assembly must bury the hatchet and adopt a process of cordial informal consultations
[/b][/i]
This type of crisis is nothing new to the senate. I recall that between 1999 and 2003 when I served in the senate that a similar situation existed, where a Senate President emerged without the endorsement or support of the ruling party leadership or Presidency. You will recall that the late Dr. Chuba Okadigbo took over the Senate Presidency after Evans Enwerem was removed against the wishes of the then President, so this Senate President is not the first to so emerge.

The difference between now and then is the disposition of our present President who has been, in my opinion, exhibiting a lot of maturity and patience because having worked for two Presidents as Presidential Legislative Special Adviser, I can authoritatively say that, this Senate President, considering the manner he emerged would not have lasted one year.

Personally, for supporting Okadigbo, I was removed as Senate Deputy Minority Leader. I was given accommodation in Apo Village at the end of the estate close to the thick forest with wild animals as my regular visitors. When I fenced the property, I was indicted for illegally erecting the fence and making senate pay for it without declaring pecuniary interest. All sorts of charges were levelled against me and at some point, I had like three cases in court. I suffered all these because I supported Okadigbo in the Impeachment of Enwerem.

The party is only now, and rightly so, insisting that the Senate President should step down now that he is in another party.

Whenever a Senate President emerges without the endorsement of the Presidency and the party leadership, this type of crisis is bound to occur. But both parties could have handled the situation better. Ordinarily, it is important for the Senate President and the President to be friends or at best be on cordial terms. Both parties have a duty to be cordial and work together for the good of the people. In my days as Special Adviser, we evolved a system of non-stop informal interactive sessions. From the time of policy formulation, we used to engage the legislators and keep them posted and engaged so that by the time the bill is drafted and laid on the table, the legislature is fully involved and the bills get passed fast.

Doing it this way engenders mutual trust and promotes co-operation without affecting the principles of separation of power between the executive and legislature.

We are at a point where both parties of necessity must reconsider their approach. Any leadership that emerges through personal alliances not linked to the party leadership will invariably be high-handed in its approach to administering the legislature, that notwithstanding it behoves such leadership to rise above base sentiments to exhibit maturity.

I pride myself for not being anyone’s apologist but this President has, in my opinion, either been indifferent to the circumstances that led to the emergence of Dr. Bukola Saraki as Senate President or he is an extremely tolerant person. I however choose to believe the latter because he even congratulated Saraki when the Supreme Court vindicated him.

What we are seeing now is that disagreement slows down the pace of government. The passage of bills is delayed and the people suffer unnecessarily. If the executive and legislature can adopt a process where cordial informal consultations are the order of the day, it will become a win-win situation for everyone including the populace. Democracy cannot thrive in an atmosphere of incessant disagreement, cordiality is paramount and must be sought by all means.

To achieve this, mutual respect and cordiality is the key. If the present leadership of the legislature and the executive revive my policy of nonstop informal interactive engagement, the era of purposeful governance and cordial relations will return to governance in Nigeria. I fervently pray that good conscience and love for country will prevail in the current situation between the executive and legislature.

I recall an incident during my days as a serving Senator. Our choice as Senate President, Dr. Chuba Okadigbo had taken over the mantle after we removed Evans Enwerem the then President’s favourite. Okadigbo was inundated with impeachment plots and series of intimidations engineered from outside the Senate. On one occasion, his official residence at Apo Villa was invaded by police men and under duress forced the Senate President to write and sign a bogus statement. When the news got to us- Senators who supported Okadigbo, we mobilised to the residence and successfully broke the siege and tore the bogus statement. For this, we were marked for serious retribution. When they finally impeached Okadigbo, I as a supporter, was removed as Deputy Minority Leader and indicted on trumped up charges. When I hear people say Mr. President has been overbearing in this current crisis, I laugh. Compared to what we went through with Okadigbo, this is a tea party. In fact, I think this President should be commended for displaying incredible restraint in the face of legislative provocation.
