End Of The Road!!! Bola Tinubu Orders The Immediate Removal Of Rotimi Amaechi From Office, Over His Alleged 2023 Conspiracy With Governor El-Rufai


Less than a week after the All Progressives Congress, APC, held its National Convention amid deep disaffection, a fresh crisis appears to be brewing in the party.
The National Leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, has ordered the removal of the Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as the Director-General of President Muhammadu Buhari’s 2019 Campaign Organisation.
It was gathered from impeccable sources at the weekend, that the plot to displace Amaechi as the Campaign Director-General, had been on long before the National Convention, but was kept under wraps till after the exercise, as some of the actors had waited to see how the Convention would pan out.
One of the reasons Amaechi is being opposed, according to the sources, is that many APC Leaders feel he has a Presidential ambition for 2023, and that the platform could put him in a vantage position, by fortifying his ambition with vital contacts and network.
Although, some of the Northern Governors who ordinarily are Amaechi’s friends, are believed not to be averse to his ambition, if established to be true. They are said to nurse reservations about his closeness to the Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai.
The relationship is being interpreted to mean that the Kaduna Governor might be Amaechi’s favourite candidate as a running mate, in the event that he chooses to run in 2023.
This is alleged to be why Tinubu is moving fast to oust Amaechi as the Campaign DG.
Tinubu has never hidden his interest in the country’s top job. He has taken steps to rally Northern Governors, by dangling the running mate ticket before them, without showing a preference for anyone for now.
The Northern Governors are believed to see their chances brighter with Tinubu than Amaechi, who they feel might have settled for El-Rufai.
The move against Amaechi as the President’s Campaign DG, is being anchored on a bourgeoning narrative, that the position should be held by a serving Governor. There is also a position being advanced that the Campaign Director-General should, apart from being a Governor, be Chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum, which narrows the job to the Zamfara State Governor, Yari Aziz.
Sources close to Tinubu, revealed that there was a short meeting between him and Amaechi at the weekend, in Lagos State, where Tinubu allegedly asked Amaechi to drop his position as Buhari’s Campaign DG.
However, when the former Rivers State Governor disagreed, Tinubu was said to have asked him to resign his position as Minister, if he must retain his appointment as Buhari’s Campaign DG.
Sources revealed that Amaechi had immediately reeled off names of political parties’ DGs, who did not resign their former positions as at the time they took the job of DG in previous elections, noting that, there is nothing conflicting between the two positions, to the best of his knowledge.
He was said to have also mentioned at the meeting that the talk about his Presidential ambition, was the imagination of certain persons in the party, because he had never shared such information with anyone.

AS NIGERIA CRUMBLES, NO UNITY IN DIVERSITY

  In recent times, I have sat down to observe the Horrors going on in Nigeria. I have engaged people in discussion to get their views and in a deep reflection, all i can see is complete disdain, failure and frustration because every sector has crumbled to irredeemable state. Today, i am not writing as a Biafran like I use to, but as an African, who imagines rapid development across the continent of Africa IF Biafra is restored tomorrow. I am just looking at the versed human and technological resources in Biafra Land and how the continent will flood BIAFRA for different businesses. Nigeria must accept the fact that the major root to our problems is DIVERSITY IN CULTURE AND BELIEFS. This is why we have never been United from inception. No Nation with different cultures and beliefs ever succeeded. Some questions you may ask... Can America and Pakistan exist as a Nation considering the fact that they are people with different value system? NIGERIA was created forcefully by a white m...

BISHOP OYEDEPO ADDRESSES ISSUE OF LIVING FAITH RURAL CHURCHES LOW INCOME

  NONSENSE ! OUR ONLY CRITERIA IS HOW MANY SOULS WON AND NOT HOW MUCH INCOME. WHEN WE EMPLOYED 7000 PASTORS AT ONCE SOCIAL MEDIA WAS DEAD. WE HAVE MORE EMPLOYEES THAN MOST STATES IN NIGERIA AND WE HAVE NEVER OWED THEM OR TAKEN BANK OVERDRAFT ONCE. THE PASTORS WERE ASKED TO GO BECAUSE THEY WERE UNFRUITFUL. MANY OF THE CHURCHES BUILT CAN NEVER PAY FOR THE CHURCH BUILDING IN 30 YEARS. WE HAVE NO PATIENCE WITH FAILURE HERE. -Bishop David Oyedepo at CHoP *We have built more than 1,000 Churches in rural areas where in the next 30 years, they can never generate such fund, with each costing more than 14 Million Naira. *We are hunting after souls, not income. People are confused about our Ministry. I learnt some fellows said, “you know, they are not bringing income, that is why they asked them to go.” We asked you to go because you are unfruitful. Unfruitful! Blatant failure. Doing what there? We have no patience with failure here. When we employed 7,000 people at a time, Social Media was...

5 Final Thoughts on Abba Kyari and Hushpuppi

  1. As with everything Nigerian, the Abba Kyari/Hushpuppi fraud case has taken on a predictably ethnoreligious hue. I’ve read some people claim that Kyari is being targeted by America because he is a Muslim. Ha! Well, Hushpuppi is also a Muslim. His full name is Ramon Olorunwa Abbas. Most Muslims will recognize Abbas as a Muslim name but probably not Ramon. Ramon is the Yoruba Muslim domestication of Abdulrahman. Read my July 13, 2014 column titled “Top 10 Yoruba Names You Never Guessed Were Arabic Names” to understand how Abdulrahman became Ramon (which is also sometimes rendered as Ramonu or Raymond). The name is #7 on my list. Kyari’s replacement, announced earlier today, is a Tunji Disu, another Muslim. Disu is the Yoruba Muslim domestication of Idris. That name is #3 on my list. Most importantly, though, the man Hushpuppi defrauded of over $1 million— with Kyari’s help— is an Arab Muslim. So, the idea that Kyari is being hounded because he’s a Muslim is silly. 2. Some people ...
