BORNO SENATORS: ANOTHER DRIFT INTO THE ABYSS

By Comrade Mahmud Muhammad Borno state

It's completely discombobulating to say the least about the Senators representing Borno South and Borno North who were presumed to have spent their youthful life "fighting" corruption and other malicious act in our great land #Borno to now turn to not only supporting but rather aiding and abetting corruption.
Yesterday, as a group of the masses enemies (read the Senators or better Sinnators) converged and pass a "Vote of confidence" on the embattled Senate President, Borno Senators (Sen. Muhammed Ali Ndume and Sen. Habu Kyari) were number two (2) and thirty five (35) respectively on the list I saw.
I now believe those who say you can't judge a book by its cover. Going by the mien and disposition of this senators, one cannot but wonder whether they possessed or a powerful spell cast on them to warrant there brazen display of insensitivity.
Is it the lobby for a "Juicy" Senate Leader and committee Chairmanship that is driving them or that Mr. Senator has a skeleton in their cupboard that they fears that the trial of Saraki if successful (and insha Allah it will not) will be beginning their own funeral?
Another dimension is the silence of elders and the party stakeholders from our two senatorial zones (Borno South and Borno North) on this matter when the entire people of the two zones are taken for a rough ride by these Senators because of there SELFISH as well as EGOCENTRIC ambition.
I (Comrade Mahmud) using this avenue to call on the well meaning people of Borno state in particular to begin a RECALL PROCESS because the Hausa proverb says "SABO DA KAZA BATA HANA A YANKA TA". Also "IN KAKI JI BA KAKI GANI BA".
A word is enough for the wise!

State House of Assembly collected bribes from commissioner nominees

An N2.4 million bribery scam is rocking the Delta State House of Assembly. SaharaReporters learned that the Speaker, Monday Igbuya, and other members of the State House of Assembly allegedly collected N200,000 bribes from the twelve commissioner nominees forwarded by Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for “screening.” Confiding in a SaharaReporters correspondent, a senior management staff person of the State’s House of Assembly who did not want to be named disclosed that one of the commissioner nominees told him in confidence how the twelve nominees’ arms were twisted to pay N200,000 each. The ultimatum was that without the N200,000 none of them would be cleared by the lawmakers. However, the source said, “If you were around during their screening on the floor of the House, you would have noticed that all the nominees were only told to take a bow” and to go. An aide to one of the commissioners who pleaded anonymity confided in SaharaReporters that the money was definitively give...

EFCC Arrested NAFDAC DG

Two weeks after whistleblowers at the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) wrote a powerful petition to President Muhammadu Buhari alleging monumental fraud and waste of funds by its Director-General, Dr. Paul B. Orhii, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday swung into action. Dr. Orhii was grilled for several hours on issues relating to fraud and misappropriation of funds worth billions of naira, a source told SaharaReporters. The petitioners had accused the Director-General of awarding frivolous contracts and supplies; manipulating NAFDAC publicity and donations; international air travel racketeering; and compulsory recertification by bottle and sachet water producers. The complaint listed 14 companies that are being used in the money games at NAFDAC. An EFCC source said Orhii was granted “administrative bail”...

BUHARI: TURNING APPOINTMENTS INTO DISAPPOINTMENTS

By Jaafar Jaafar Ponder over this Hausa proverb: “sawun keke ba’a gane gabanka”, which roughly translates to “a bicycle’s contact patch does not tell where it comes from or where it heads to”, and see how it aptly describes Nigeria’s president, Muhammadu Buhari. Bearing in mind the current realities in our polity, how would you, in your wildest dream, think the Secretary to the Government of the Federation will come from the North? The very North that has a President, a Senate President, a Speaker, a Head of Service, a Chief of Staff, a Chief Justice, and what not? While Mr. President is likened to the proverbial “sawun keke”, the pigmentation of his appointments may be likened to “birgimar hankaka”, literally meaning the wallow of a pied crow. When a pied crow wallows, the Hausa say, you will see both the white patch on its gullet and the black plumage that covers most of the bird’s body. In the appointment of the GMD of NNPC, President Buhari showed Nigeria...
