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

Knificent.blogspot.com


.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.

As well as, “Whether the appointment of the 1st Defendant by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria [as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria] and the subsequent confirmation of same by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are not a nullity and therefore liable to be quashed and set aside being acts done in circumvention of a condition precedent and in violation of Sections 12, 13 and 14 of the National Youth Service Corp Act which is an integral part of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended? Upon determination of the questions, he sought for,

“A declaration of this Honourable Court that the appointment of the 1st Defendant by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria [as a Minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria] and the subsequent confirmation of same by the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria are a nullity and therefore liable to be quashed and set aside being acts done in circumvention of a condition precedent and in contravention of mandatory Sections 12, 13 and 14 of the National Youth Service Corp Act which is an integral part of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended?

Some mighty all seeing humans can even argue with the assurance that they know where they would be in their after-life. But there are some hidden things in this world no one has been able to crack the secrets.

Our Top5 for today presents to you;

Top5 Biggest Secrets In The World

1. Adolf Hitler

Adolf Hitler was a dictator who initiated World War II and also the mastermind of the Holocaust.

Hitler can never be forgotten in history. In December 1941, he declared war on the United States; the failure to defeat the Soviets coupled with an attack by the US, made his army suffered series of defeat.

In the struggle to avoid capture by the Soviet Red Army, 40 hours after marriage, Hitler and his wife were reported to have committed suicide.

There have been emerging accounts with different stand on the real death of Hitler; one account stated that he died by poison, another argued he died by a self-inflicted gunshot while biting down on a cyanide capsule.

There is also controversy over the authenticity of the skull and jaw fragments claimed to be Hitler’s.

A DNA analyses in 2009 revealed the fragments could only belong to a female less than 40-year-old.

2. Hapsburg Napkin Fold

You might be wondering why we included such a casual topic into our mighty discoveries?  Wait till you find out why.

Folding of Hapsburg Napkin is a top secret in Austria. The guidelines of folding the Napkin is entailed in a Royal Act.

Many people have tried to fold this Napkin but the result has always been a failure ― there is a myth which stated that folding the Napkin which looks like a dong wrongly might unleash a god looking like a dong  .

The design was originally used at the dinner table of the emperor or empress of the Austro-Hungarian empire ― after the collapse of the Empire.

Today it is used at banquets when a foreign head is visiting.

3. Egyptian Pyramid

Although the technology of today has advanced to a stage whereby many people could not have envisioned before now.

But despite our gigantic technological advancements, it is still not a match to the Ancient Egyptians’ technology.

Even with a technologically enhanced house like Bill Gate's mansion, the construction of the pyramids of Giza is still a mystery to today’s scientists. No one has been able to replicate this epochal construction or the brainchild behind it.

The only near possible guess dies within our imaginations and fairy dreams.

4. US Oil Mining Reserve

Oil reserves in the United States were estimated to be 36.4 billion barrels of crude oil in 2014, a great leap from the oil reserve reported in 2008.

You might be thinking, “what is special about this?” Do you know? All of the United States Oil reserves locations are unknown to anybody except its government. Now you are thinking just what we are also thinking.

5. Liquid To Gasoline

A Chinese bus driver with no scientific education developed a formula out of the empty blues. (some accounts described him as an amateur chemist).

In 1983 he claimed to have synthesized a liquid, small amounts of which when dropped in water will convert it to fuel equivalent.

He was immediately granted automatic sponsorship by the government ($30 million) to start Hongcheng Magic Liquid Company, which never released any product.

He was arrested and condemned to 10 years of prison in 1998 by the government claiming that his discovery was a scam.

But other sources claimed and speculated that his misfortune resulted not from fraud, but from his unwillingness to reveal his 'secret formula' to the government.
