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.

We are already in Igbo land, we have taking over, says Miyetti Allah

We are already in Igbo land, we have taking over, says Miyetti Allah Every land in Nigeria belongs to Fulani, says Miyetti Allah The Chairman of Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore, Alhaji Abdullahi Bodejo, has declared that land all over Nigeria belong to the Fulani. According to him, those claiming to owe land and would not release it to government for ranching were being selfish and do not want peace in the land. He told Sun that his group was supporting the establishment of ranches 100 per cent, disclosing that, “it is because there are no ranches that some Fulani elements from other states are opposed to anti-grazing law. “But with the intervention of the Federal Government, Fulani can now confine their grazing activities to a particular area. “They are raising opposition to it because the President of the federation is a Fulani man. I don’t know the basis of the opposition, but those people who are opposed to it are enemies of the Fulani. They are trying to gang up agains...

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...

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...
