The National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, has stated that there was no harmony in the Atiku Abubakar, Peter Obi presidential ticket of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Oshiomhole addressed the State House correspondents after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday.
The former Governor of Edo State said the choice of Obi as the running mate was not acceptable to his people in the South East.
The party Chairman pointed out that unlike the PDP, the Southwest governors of the APC were proud of the President Muhammadu Buhari/Yemi Osinbajo ticket.
He said, “It is also not secret that the running mate of PDP’s candidate, his home base is disputing his suitability for that position, and this dispute is not being done in the bedrooms. It’s being done in village squares.
“And they are giving reasons that where they were hoping for gold, they have been given bronze that will postpone their access to the gold side.
“You think those guys are going to be fooled?

The
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC) has boosted the Federal
treasury with the sum of N1.37 billion, which no one stepped out to
claim since August. Justice A. Obiozor of the Federal High Court in
Ikoyi, Lagos ordered the final forfeiture of the money, which was made
up of N1,260,000,000, $327,132.35, £167.85 and €157.90. The money which
was kept at Heritage Bank Plc under the name of Secure Electronics
Technology Limited, was seized by the EFCC, following an intelligence
report from a whistleblower. The company in whose possession the funds
were found did not lay claim to them and it surrendered them for
forfeiture. In an affidavit in support of the application, the applicant
stated that “Heritage Bank did not provide any legitimate explanation
for the above transactions (involving the sums) and consequently
returned the said money through 16 separate bank drafts issued in favour
of the EFCC Recovered Funds Account.” Justice Obiozor, in his ruling
on August 15 , 2018, had ordered the interim forfeiture of the monies,
which were reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities,
to the Federal Government. In line with the court order of August 15,
2018, the EFCC had published the interim forfeiture order in the Nation
newspaper of August 21,2018 for the correspondents or anyone interested
in the money to show cause why the funds should not be permanently
forfeited to the Federal Government. At the hearing on Tuesday, November
13, 2018, the applicant, through its counsel, Ekene Iheanacho, said the
respondent had not shown up to lay claim to the money, despite being
served with the earlier interim order of forfeiture, motion for final
forfeiture and hearing notices on the action. He , therefore, urged
the Judge to order the funds to be permanently forfeited to the Federal
Government. In his ruling, Justice Obiozor held that ” the applicant
has proved on the balance of probabilities that the funds recovered from
the respondents by the applicant were reasonably suspected to be
proceeds of unlawful activities.” The Judge, therefore, ordered that
the various sums of money be permanently forfeited to the Federal
GovernmentThe post

Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency NDLEA, have
uncovered N340 million worth of Tramadol tablets in 12 containers at the
Apapa port in Lagos State. In a statement released by its Head of
Public Affairs, Jonah Achema, the agency said the tablets which were in
various dosages ranging from 120 milligrams to 250 milligrams were
recovered from 12 containers in the ongoing search in Apapa port. He
said the containers were on the watch-list of NDLEA since November, 2017
and were brought to Nigeria Customs Service for search based on the
agency’s reasonable suspicion of the containers.He stated that the NCS
on Wednesday, dropped 28 of 62 containers slated for search, among which
12 of them were been found to contain tramadol.“The search is still
ongoing. Tramadol is a pharmaceutical drug which has been subject of
abuse by the populace. In one single operation in November last year,
the agency intercepted 160 million tablets of tramadol at the Apapa port
which ranged from 220 to 250 milligrams. They were imported from India
using false documents in the name of an unregistered company,” Achema
said.The Federal government banned Tramadol and Codeine in May due to
the gross abuse of the drugs by women and youths.The post

President
Buhari has been conferred with the prestigious Polio Champion Award in
recognition of his uncommon commitment and leadership in the polio
eradication programme in Nigeria. Rotary International President, Barry
Rassin, who is on a four-day official visit to Nigeria, presented the

Champion Award was instituted by Rotary International in 1995 to
recognize and appreciate Heads of Governments and organisations that
have played a key role in polio eradication around the world. The last
recipient of the Award was Justin Trudeau, the Prime Minister of Canada.

Timi Frank, former Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the All
Progressives Congress (APC), has threatened to publish names and amounts
paid to Adams Oshiomhole, APC National Chairman during the party
primaries. He also claimed that Oshiomhole collected over $50million
from different aspirants and candidates. According to Frank, a large
percentage of the money was paid to Oshiomhloe through proxies from Imo,
Zamfara, Adamawa, Ogun states, among others. An exclusive report by
SaharaReporters on Thursday revealed that the Department of State
Services (DSS) has written to President Buhari, asking him to prosecute
Oshiomhole for allegedly receiving at least $55million in relation to
the nationwide primaries of the party. However, in a statement signed in
Abuja on Thursday, the former APC spokesman threatened to "publish the
names and amounts paid to lobby the national chairman to clear aspirants
and substitute the names of duly elected candidates with those that
failed". "I dare say that this singular act of refusing to order the
prosecution of Oshiomhole over sundry acts of bribery and corruption he
committed as contained in the DSS report, President Buhari has shown
that his APC-led administration is a stinking house of corruption," he
said. Expressing surprise at Oshiomhole's latest ordeal, he said the
former labour leader will go down in history as a party chairman who
allegedly received such "humongous bribe within a short period of time
in office". Frank, however, called on the president to act on the
recommendations of the DSS by ordering "Oshiomhole's sack and
prosecution, if his (Buhari) government is actually fighting corruption
or opposition". He continued: "We are in the know that President
Muhammadu Buhari has received the DSS report on Adams Oshiomhole and
Nigerians are patiently waiting for the action or inaction of his
government, because this is an administration that has claimed fighting
corruption as an achievement.In the history of party administration in
Nigeria, no party chairman has been accused of collecting the
jaw-breaking amount of money allegedly collected within a short period
in office like Comrade Oshiomhole has allegedly done.Instead of
Oshiomhole to clear his name, he has taken to diversionary path asking
the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki to resign. Nigerians are not
gullible. We shall wait to see how the acclaimed anti-corruption regime
will act on this particular issue.This same Oshiomhole has been
attacking the Senate President, calling on him to resign on moral
ground. Can Oshiomhole now step aside while investigation into his
financial malfeasance is ongoing to justify his much talked about
morality?"The post
