Tinubu Accuses Ex-Party Members Saraki, Dogara of Budget padding

The National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC),  has accused the leadership of the National Assembly, Bukola Saraki and Yakubu Dogara, who were both former members of the APC, of budget padding.

Tinubu accused both men in a statement he released on Sunday April 21st while responding to claims of his intention to run for President in 2023. He alleged that Saraki and Dogara who defected from the party last year, worked with their likes to hijack the budget process for four years.

“Just look at the way Saraki, Dogara and their ilk hijacked the budget process these past four years. National budgets were delayed and distorted as these actors repeatedly sought to pad budgets with pet projects that would profit them. Even worse, they cut funds intended to prosper projects that would have benefitted the average person. After four years of their antics halting the progress of government, we should do all we can to prevent a repeat of their malign control of the National Assembly.

NIGERIA’S EAGLETS FIRST TO SECURE 2019 FIFA U-17 WORLD CUP TICKET

Five-time world champions Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets became the first African team to book a 2019 FIFA U-17 World Cup ticket after 1-0 defeat of Angola in Dar es Salaam on Wednesday.

Olakunle Olusegun earned the ticket to the tournament semi finals and to Brazil 2019 when he hooked a 21st-minute penalty to the roof of the net with Angola’s goalkeeper Geovani stranded. But the Golden Eagles were guilty of profligacy and the technical crew certainly has much to do still.

As happened against host nation Tanzania on Sunday, the Eaglets proved to be masters of the use of space and close control, but they mostly lacked the right ideas and punch in the final third, just as some passes went astray at critical moments.

Two-goal hero against Tanzania, Wisdom Ubani could have been on the scoresheet in the 11th minute but his fierce effort from a 22 –yard free kick went narrowly off target.

Atiku: Politics Of Nigerianness By Ray Ekpu

The ruling party, APC, and President Muhammadu Buhari’s lawyers have filed court papers in response to Atiku Abubakar’s claim that, it is he, not Buhari who won the last Presidential election in Nigeria. He asked the Election Tribunal to either declare him elected or cancel the election entirely and direct INEC to do it again.

In the papers filed before the Tribunal APC and Buhari claim that Mr. Atiku Abubakar is not a Nigerian by birth and therefore was not qualified to contest the election. It also, flowing from this, means that he has no locus standi to query the outcome of the election. It would be interesting to learn something from the lawyers on both sides of the battle line. But whatever is the eventual outcome, we have witnessed before a similar case in our political history, the case of someone, a politician, accused of non-Nigerianness. On January 24, 1980 the ruling party, National Party of Nigeria (NPN) had deported a GNPP leader in Borno State (now Borno/Yobe), Mr Abdulrahman Shugaba Darman, saying that he was a Chadian, not a Nigerian.

Brexit Delayed To Halloween: EU Leaders Agree A 'flextension' Until October 31 That Lets Britain Out Of EU

Theresa May has been handed a humiliating Halloween Brexit nightmare with EU leaders agreeing to a 'flextension' that delays the UK's departure until October 31 at a crunch summit that ended at 2am today.

But the Prime Minister was handed a slim lifeline with the 27 states adding a break clause saying the UK can leave earlier if she can convince MPs to pass a Brexit deal - but Brussels will not reopen the Withdrawal Agreement to make that easier. 

The six-month extension will be accompanied by a technical review in June, dashing the hopes of the Prime Minister, who had begged them to postpone our departure only until the end of that month. 

Mrs May tried to appear positive after the summit. She told reporters: 'What we have agreed tonight means that we can actually leave the European Union before June 30.
