The Coalition of Northern Youths Association CNYA has stated that with 
the the current crisis bedevilling the Senate President which culminated
 in his arraignment at the Code of Conduct Tribunal last week, he is no 
longer morally fit to occupy the office if the president and should step
 down for a more qualified Senator to preside over the affairs of the 
Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.The statement signed by the national coordinator of the group, Alhaji
 Abubakar Mohammed stated that the current crisis bedevilling the Senate
 President with his eventual arraignment at the Code of Conduct Tribunal
 last week has raised a moral issues about his fitness to preside.At the end of its meeting in Kaduna at the weekend, the group noted that it has
resolved to mobilise its members and senators to rally round Senator 
Barnabas Gemade to become the next Senate President in view of the 
corruption charges involving the Senate President, Senator Bukola 
Saraki.According to the group “we strongly believe that Senator Saraki has 
no moral right to preside over the affairs of the Senate based on the 
allegations levelled against him by the Code of Conduct Bureau, and he 
cannot be facing trial and at the same time presiding over the affairs 
of the Senate. As such the best option left for him now, if he has 
conscience is to resign honourably and pave way for a new leadership in 
the senate’.‘This is the only way out of the quagmire, considering the fact that 
Senator Gemade has all it takes to superintend over the Senate’. The group pointed out that the whole world is watching Nigeria over 
the Sarakigate, “hence we call on the Senate President to do the needful
 by resigning without delay”It added added that in order not to create a leadership vacuum in the
 Senate and allow the opposition party, the PDP to capitalise on this, 
“we appeal to the previous contenders for the seat of Senate President 
such as Senators Ahmed Lawan and George Akume to jettison their ambition
 and support Senator Barnabas Gemade to become the next Senate 
President.Justifying it’s choice of Senator Gemade, the group said it believed 
that Senator Gemade is going to entrench peace, unity and legislative 
decorum in the senate.“We make bold to state that as a former minister, former Chairman of 
the Peoples Democratic Party PDP and a two term Senator now in his third
 term, he has the capacity to steer the ship of the senate and forge 
unity among the senators from both the All Progressive Congress APC and 
the Peoples Democratic Party PDP”.‘We call on all APC Senators to throw away any toga of loyalty to any
 person and go for the best candidate which to us at this particular 
point in time is Senator Barnabas Gemade’ the group said. They called on the National Executives of the All Progressive 
Congress APC to see reason with their position and commence serious 
consultations among party stakeholders to ensure that the exit of 
Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President will not spell doom for the 
party.

Negotiation Between Buhari and Boko Haram.

16:10:00 Unknown 0

The talks between the Presidency and Boko Haram with a view to ending the carnage in the North-East have so far been carried out at an informal level, credible sources have told to Vanguard.

President Muhammadu Buhari disclosed in France, Tuesday, that his administration was indeed negotiating with Boko Haram on how to end the violence, but did not disclose who government was discussing with.

However, sources with knowledge of the issue, told Vanguard, yesterday, that some key elements of the sect were talking individually with the Presidency on how to achieve peace.

The development, according to the sources, is coming following sustained military bombardment of Boko Haram havens.

The source, which has been involved in previous negotiations between the government and the sect leadership, pointed out that there had not been any formal dialogue on a ceasefire with the Presidency.

The source said: “It is true there has been an informal line of communication between the Presidency and the sect members, but the leadership has not mandated anyone on its behalf to begin discussions with the government.

“Unlike before when the Department of State Services, DSS; office of National Security Adviser, NSA, and other agencies of the Presidency were all reaching out to even phantom groups and individuals claiming to be representing the sect and claiming non-existing peace, this President has not made any formal contact with the sect yet.”

Forte Oil Chairman, Femi Otedola, has reportedly affirmed his decision to begin sale of House Hold Kerosene (HHK) at the rate of N50 per litre.

This bold move marks a huge reduction in the current pump price by over 50 percent.

The kerosene which he fondly dubbed ‘Buhari Kerosene‘ will begin sale at all his fuel stations across the country.
This is in furtherance of his decision to identify with President Muhammadu Buhari’s bid to ameliorate the hardships faced by millions of Nigerians daily.
The Forte Oil boss had recently blown the lid off the activities of shady characters in the oil sector whom he blamed for selling House Hold Kerosene (HHK) as Jet A1 fuel, also called Aviation Turbine Kerosene (ATK), to airline operators.
In a statement signed by him, Otedola revealed: “This illicit act has been identified as the major factor contributing to the rising cost of kerosene in the country and may also be the cause of some of the air mishaps we have encountered in the country in recent times.”

The Forte Oil boss stated that while HHK is sold by the Pipelines and Products Marketing Company (PPMC), an arm of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) at the regulated price of N40.90k with the objective of selling to the average Nigerian at the pump price of N50 per litre, major HHK dealers sell the product to poor Nigerians at the pump price of N125 per litre.

And the development is attributable to the emergence of mushroom marketers who are desperate to make a killing by selling kerosene as Jet A1 fuel to major local and international airlines at the pump price of N140/litre or even higher.
He explained that this is possible because HHK shares some physical and chemical properties with Jet A1 fuel.
With his decision to sell HHK at N50/litre at all his fuel stations nationwide, Otedola will no doubt reduce the hardships foisted upon millions of Nigerian families by the prohibitive pricing of the cooking fuel.

One Naira Can Never Be Equal With One Dollar Said Dan Nwanyanwu.

11:54:00 Unknown 0

The pioneer Chairman of the Labour Party, Chief Dan Nwanyanwu, says Nigerians should face the reality that President Muhammadu Buhari will not meet many of his campaign promises including his pledge to make the naira and dollar to be at par. 
 
Nwanyanwu said rather than deny that Buhari never made 100-day promises, the APC-led Federal Government should swing into action and start governing Nigeria instead of only probing the past administration. He said, “The APC and its presidential candidate made a lot of promises during the campaigns. 
 
Nwanyanwu, who said he is no longer involved in partisan politics, stated this during a chat on Channels Television on Wednesday.

The former labour leader said there was no way the All Progressives Congress would be able to give N5,000 to unemployed youths across the country as promised. 
 
We knew that some of these promises were not realisable. For example, there is no way one naira will be equal to one dollar. I know that without being an economist. There is no way anyone will be paid N5,000 every month. That is also not possible. 
 
 “But let us put all those campaign promises aside. We know our country. And we know where we are. And that is why I said that the APC as a political party should realise that the campaigns are over. They should stop defending the indefensible as regards whether they made certain promises or not. You do not learn how to write with your left hand at an old age. 
 
“We have passed that stage, a President has been elected, let us encourage him and be patient with him and then look at the other areas he has to kick-start rather than probing every day. Yes, we are eager to get our stolen money back but at the same time, we want the government to start. What are you doing about unemployment and power?”

Adesina said the President was aware of federal character and expressed the believe that there would be balance by the time he made more appointments in September. 
 
Adesina spoke while featuring on a radio programme, Political Platform, on RayPower 100.5FM, monitored by our correspondent. While saying appointments were Buhari’s prerogative, the presidential spokesman also said nobody can fault the fact that those named so far ‎were appointed on merits. He also said it would not be fair for the President to be blamed for positions that were filled as a result of elections, like those of the National Assembly and appointments made as a result of next in command, like those of the acting Chairman of the Independent Electoral Commission and that of the Chief Justice of Nigeria. He assured all stakeholders that the President would keep to his promise of appointing the remaining aides and ministers ‎in September. Adesina said, “Nobody can fault the fact that the persons appointed were appointed on merits. “By the time more appointments are made, it will balance out. The President is trying to get the very best of Nigerians. The issue of key positions and no key positions should not be the issue. 
 “In terms of the spread, the President has prerogative to appoint and he knows there is federal character. I am sure that there will be balance in the future. These are still early days. At the end of the day, we will have a balance. “He gave a deadline of September for the appointment of ministers ‎and he will keep to it.”

President Buhari Set to probe arms procurement since 2007

22:53:00 Unknown 0

“The committee will specifically investigate allegations of 
non-adherence to correct equipment procurement procedures and the 
exclusion of relevant logistics branches from arms procurement under 
past administrations, which, very often resulted in the acquisition of 
sub-standard and unserviceable equipment.” 
 
 
President Muhammadu Buhari has directed the National Security Adviser
 to convene an investigative committee on the procurement of hardware 
and munitions in the Armed Forces from 2007 till now, a statement by the
 Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina, 
has said.

According to the statement, the investigative committee’s mandate is to 
identify irregularities and make recommendations for streamlining the 
procurement process in the Armed Forces. 
 
Accordingly, the National Security Adviser has constituted the Investigative Committee as follows:

The presidential statement added, “The establishment of the

public service. 
 
“It comes against the background of the myriad of challenges that the 
Nigerian Armed Forces have faced in the course of ongoing 
counter-insurgency operations in the Northeast, including the apparent 
deficit in military platforms with its attendant negative effects of 
troops’ morale.
