Buhari's Supporters Storm APC Headquarters, Demand Adoption Of Direct Primaries - Politics -

Abuja / Lagos – As governors of the All Progressives Congress (APC) battle the party’s National Working Committee (NWC) over its mode of primaries, a pro-Buhari group stormed the national secretariat of the APC on Monday demanding unlimited application of the decision of NEC.

The group, Grassroots Mobilisation for PMB/Osinbajo, said they were at the secretariat to register their anger against some of the APC governors and some members of the NWC opposed to the use of direct primaries.

Recall that the APC had been divided over the use of direct or indirect primaries as allowed by the constitution of the party.

At the weekend, the governors mobilised all 37 state chairmen of the party to further agitate their preference for indirect primaries at the state levels.

Yusuf Musa Ardo, Spokesman of the group, said the position taken by the governors ran counter to the change agenda of the APC, pointing out that indirect primaries would continue the corruption and manipulation that the party was seeking to eradicate.

Ardo, who is Director, Contact and Mobilisation of the support group, said they were fully in support of the use of direct primaries as it would return power to members of the party.

“Actually, we are not happy with the position of some of the governors and some of the National Working Committee. We are in support of direct primaries, power go back to the masses.

“We are tired of corruption and manipulation. They have been manipulating Nigerians and the masses; we cannot continue to support that idea.

“We are willing and ready to mobilise across the states to mount all the party’s secretariats and Government Houses of APC to make sure that anybody against direct primaries is not a real APC member.

“We are a popular party, a change agent that must definitely support a new vision and a new pattern of politics. We must, as a popular party, support direct primaries.

“We don’t know the reason behind the opposition of direct primaries by the APC governors, we are saying no to indirect primaries and we are saying that direct primaries must take place.

“We are in support of Mr. President and the National Chairman of the party, the able, the powerful Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the game changer, the master of politics in Nigeria, we are in support of direct primaries.

“That’s why we are here with our supporters and able chairman, Ambassador Hajia Fatimah Goni, and every other executive,” he said.

The group was received by Abbas Braimah, Chief of Staff to Oshiomhole who promised to deliver the message of the group.

“I welcome you all to the APC national headquarters, which is your home. I believe the petition you have written to us has been received.

“I want to assure each and every one of you that the new leadership, management of the party, is going to be responsible and responsive to the needs and aspirations of all members of this party.

“As you know, just like the national chairman has said, politics is a vehicle of development and empowerment and people are the subject and object of that development.

“So, whatever we do here must be people-centered; that is why the new leadership of the party has decided to do whatever is best for the party.

“Like you said, the party has large followers and, by the special grace of God, we would win the election because this is not only the largest party in Africa, not only the biggest party, but almost the most organised party in Africa and, with your support, because I can tell you the new leadership is ready to engage Nigerians, we are ready to sell this party.

“And I can tell you, our candidate is the most sellable candidate. I thank you for the support you have shown to the National Chairman, NWC, Mr. President, I want to tell you, we are on the same page,” Braimah said.

It would be recalled that governors elected on the platform of APC had tried to blackmail Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, National Chairman, and other members of the party into adopting indirect primaries to pick candidates for the party at the state level.

There had been confusion regarding the true position of the party on the selection process after its National Executive Council (NEC) meeting last Thursday.

Briefing correspondents after the NEC meeting, Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau State and Yahaya Bello of Kogi had said that the NEC adopted direct primary option to choose its presidential candidate for the 2019 election while adopting the indirect primary for the other elective positions.

However, less than 24 hours after, the Acting National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena, issued a statement that countered the position of the governors.

Nabena said the party had adopted the direct primary option for all elective positions.

APC NWC May Consider Review Of Nomination Fees

Meanwhile, the NWC of the ruling APC went into a marathon meeting on Monday to discuss critical issues relating to its preparations for the 2019 polls.

The meeting, chaired by Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the party’s National Chairman, according to credible sources, was convened to discuss the schedule of the party’s primaries and the cost of Expression of Interest and Nomination fees which has been causing rancour in the party.

There have been cries of outrage in the party over the cost of the Expression of Interest and Nomination forms which a lot of aspirants described as outrageous.

The NWC, it was gathered, had proposed N55 million as the cost of the nomination and expression of interest forms for the office of President, which is way higher than the N12 million being charged by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

A source also said President Muhammadu Buhari had complained to the party leadership that, as a salary earner, he couldn’t afford the fees which was in sharp contrast to the N27 million he paid in 2014.

Also, those seeking the party’s nod to contest the state Houses of Assembly elections are asked to pay N1.1 million as against PDP’s N600,000, while for the House of Representatives, APC aspirants are asked to pay N3.8 million. The PDP is asking its aspirants to pay 1.5 million.

For those seeking to go to the Senate, APC aspirants are to pay N8.5 million as against the N3.5 million the PDP is asking from its aspirants for the same position.

Governorship aspirants of the ruling party are asked to pay N22.5 million each to contest the ticket as against the N6 million to be paid by their counterparts in the PDP.

Our source said Monday’s meeting was called primarily to seek a downward review of the fees.

“Monday’s meeting was called to look at the schedule of the primaries. It wasn’t discussed during the NEC meeting because it is the responsibility of the National Working Committee to arrange the dates.

“They also discussed the issue of the Expression of Interest and Nomination fees. They are trying to fix amounts that will not be too high for members to pay.

“Members are complaining that the fees are too high. Though they have not made it official or decided on the amount, but some members are already complaining, with some already talking of defecting.”

Top5 Cheapest Countries For International Students To Study Abroad - Education -

Knificent.blogspot.com .

Studying abroad offers you access to a better education and tourist experience. It qualifies you for a membership in the club of people who do not only see the four walls of their country till they kiss the dust ― there are many of them.

Many students for sure wants to study abroad, but varying factors especially money is the main factor belaying them.

Good News! There are countries with affordable tuition fee which you can take advantage of, irrespective of your nationality. Below are our top5:


1. India

India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world with a high cultural diversity. The tuition fee and cost of the living total are far below what you would budget if you were to enroll in institutions in places like Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

Tuition fees in India are between $400 and $3000 depending on your course and choice of institution. Government aided universities are, however, cheaper than private owned institutions. Cumulative average expenditures of studying and living in India is between $2,500 and $7,000 or above per year.

African students stand a better chance of studying for a far lower price in this country through an Education For All program (EDFA). At postingday.com we discovered that, the program offers a scholarship for students ready to study in India and also provide them paid internship jobs on arrival.

2. Argentina

Public universities in Argentina are tuition-free for students irrespective of nationality and academic grade. Sometimes thou, depending on the school, international students might need to pay a small nominal fee to enroll. Living cost is also affordable. You are good with about $5,000 per year; covering accommodation, feeding, transport and other expenses.

3. Germany

Germany also offers tuition-free education for international students except for Baden-Wurttemberg state universities in its south-west. The living cost in Germany is about $11,500 per year. It is worthy to know that Germany like Argentina also charges a small nominal fee, around $210.

4.France
In this French country, the university is known as Grande Ecole. Don’t be surprised to see it attached to their school names. Grande Ecole tuition is free in France. The cost of living is approximately similitude to that of Germany, average $11,500 per year.

5. Norway

Norway is last on our list because of its high living expenses. Cost of living in Nordic countries is always high. You might be wondering why is it then on the list? Don’t you wish to hear that Norway universities are tuition free for all students irrespective of their nationality ― you don’t need to qualify as an EU member citizen. And also, this tuition-free policy applies to all levels of education.

You will need to pay a small nominal fee here too, around $50. The only challenges are that most undergraduate programs are taught in Norwegian and you will need a proof of proficiency in Norwegian to be offered admission. Postgraduates programs ― Maters and Ph.D. ― taught in English are very common.

Cost of living in Norway average $12, 945 per year.

What are you waiting for? Get on the plane and go for that education and tourist experience you have been waiting for.

Why We Detained Jones Abiri For 2 Years Without Trial – DSS - Politics -

Knificent.blogspot.com .

A counsel to the Department of State Services (DSS), G. O. Agbadua, has given reasons why journalist Jones Abiri, was not given a trial for the two years he spent in detention.

Abiri was arrested by DSS in 2016 and accused of being the leader of the joint revolutionary council of the Joint Niger Delta Liberation Force, a separatist group.

Abiri, the publisher of Weekly Source Newspaper, was arraigned for the first time after two years in July following public outcry. Abiri was granted bail in August.

Thereafter, the Bayelsa-based journalist asked the Abuja federal high court to compel the federal government to pay him N200 million as compensation for spending two years in detention.

Abiri said he was tortured by the DSS while in detention.

However, at the court on Monday, DSS lawyer explained that when a capital crime has been committed as in the alleged case of Abiri, a person can be held in detention without a trial.

“Section 30(3) of ACJA where a suspect is taken into custody and it appears to the police officer in charge of the station that the offence is of a capital nature, the arrested suspect shall be detained in custody, and the police officer may refer the matter to the attorney-general of the federation for legal advice and cause the suspect to be taken before a court having jurisdiction with respect to the offence within a reasonable time,” the counsel said.


“It is of individual right to national security and rule of law, the state itself was a result of individuals submitting their powers, their rights to the state for protection.


“Reading those provisions, we are of the view that since it’s individual right, it cannot supersede that of the national security and that bail in capital offence is not as of right.”


Apparently displeased with Agbadua’s statement, Samuel Ogala, counsel to Abiri, disagreed with the DSS lawyer.
Abiri’s counsel argued that his client’s detention was illegal and there is no court order to that effect.

“What is rule of law and national security? It is the duty and responsibility of the court to say yes, this case is a capital offence or whether an applicant is entitled to bail or not,” he said.
“It is not the responsibility of the state security service to sit in their office, arrest, detain and punish a person.
“The issue of rule of law and national security is very clear, what I want the court to understand is that the applicant’s detention is criminal intimidation and it is punishable.”
After listening to counsels, the presiding judge, Justice Nnamdi Dimgba, adjourned the matter till September 13.

Matthew Seiyefa Recalls Redeployed DSS Officers - Politics -

Knificent.blogspot.com .
Olusola Fabiyi and Simon Utebor


The acting Director General of the Department of State Services , Mr Mathew Seiyefa , has recalled officers he transferred out of the headquarters of the agency when he resumed office on August 1 .

The decision to recall the officers followed the open directive given Seiyefa by the Chief of Staff to the President , Mr Abba Kyari , who was said to have scolded the new DSS boss for carrying out reorganisation in the agency without clearance from the Villa .

Seiyefa became the acting DG of the Service following the shocking sacking of its erstwhile DG , Mr Lawal Daura.

The then acting President , Prof. Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), who sacked Daura , ordered him to hand over to the most senior officer in the agency .

Daura, who hails from Katsina State, the home state of President Muhammadu Buhari , was also handed over to the police for debriefing .

President Buhari was not in Nigeria when Daura was sacked .

Daura was relieved of his position because of the role he played in the deployment of operatives in the National Assembly, an action that portrayed the Federal Government as anti -democratic .

It was speculated then that Daura took the action in conjunction with some people in the Villa , without the knowledge of Osinbajo .

Seiyefa , who was then serving at the Institute of Security Studies , Bwari , Abuja , immediately carried out some reorganisations immediately he assumed office.

Among those he transferred were the Director of Operations , Mr Bassey Eteng , and another Director , Grace Kentebe .
Both of them were among those that Kyari asked Seiyefa to return to their duty posts .

A source close to the agency told our correspondent in Abuja on Monday night that , “ There is tension everywhere because the directive has been complied with by personnel , most especially by those who instigated it .

“ Both Eteng and Kentebe have reported . Personnel morale is at its lowest ebb .

“ Even quite a significant number of the personnel of northern extraction are not happy with the Chief of Staff because they said himself and the ousted DG had not been good to the service.

“ Meanwhile , there is every possibility that the service may witness an unprecedented protest against the undue interference in the affairs of the service by the Chief of Staff to the President . ”

Our correspondent gathered that the Presidency had yet to decide on whether to confirm Seiyefa or appoint another officer as a replacement for Daura.

Some members of the Presidency cabal were said to have been making moves aimed at frustrating the confirmation of the acting DG because of political interests .

The aides of the President , who were said not to be happy about the unceremonious sacking of Daura, were also said to be lobbying to have a say in who would replace him .

Daura, it was gathered, had nominated Eteng as a “ worthy successor” and could be useful to the cabal ahead of the 2019 elections.

The cabal is believed to be considering other options , including the possibility of appointing a substantive DG outside the service.

Meanwhile , the Ijaw Youth Council Worldwide has faulted the alleged moves by the Presidency to remove Mr Matthew Seiyefa as the DG of the DSS and reinstate the sacked Lawal Daura.

The President, IYC , Mr Eric Omare , said , “ While the IYC recognises the fact that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has the power to hire and fire head of security agencies in the country, we wish to state that the President also has a corresponding mandatory constitutional duty to ensure that such appointments are in line with the Federal Character principle .

“ As of today , Seiyefa is one of the few heads of security agencies in Nigeria from the southern part of the country , hence it would amount to grave violation of the Federal Character principle of the constitution to replace Seiyefa , who was appointed less than a month ago , with a northerner as alleged .

“ Consequently , the IYC strongly calls on President Buhari to put a stop to the Satanic plan by the Presidency cabal to replace Seiyefa as Director General of the DSS because there is no basis for it .

Seiyefa is doing a great job in repositioning the SSS and what he deserves is encouragement from the Presidency and not a replacement. ”
