Loot Stocking: Buhari won’t be distracted by Fayose’s rantings –APC

Ado-Ekiti- The All Progressives Congress(APC), has
dismissed the criticism by Governor Ayodele Fayose that
some looters were allegedly hiding stolen funds in Aso
Villa in Abuja, saying no amount of blackmail would derail
the anti-graft war being waged by the party at the
federal level.
The party stated that Fayose’s outburst against
President Buhari was geared towards shielding members
of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) from being made
to account for the money they allegedly looted under
President Goodluck Jonathan-led government.
The Deputy Chairman of the party in Ekiti State, Mrs
Kemi Olaleye, said this in Ado Ekiti , on Tuesday while
receiving some gift items from a governorship aspirant ,
Engr Kayode Ojo at the party’s Secretariat.
Fayose, had on Monday accused some Buhari’s
confidants and top members of APC of stocking looted
funds in Aso Villa to prevent them from the eyes of the
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC),
describing this scenario as selective and provocative.
Olaleye, who described Fayose’s allegation as baseless
and spurious said: “Ordinarily, I would not have dignified
Governor Fayose with a response, but for the purpose of
clarity his noise was targeted at derailing the war
against corruption.
“How can Fayose accuse anybody of corruption? In Ekiti
State, he is the Finance Commissioner, the Accountant
General, in fact , he is acting like all-in-all. He is corrupt
himself and afraid of being dealt with after leaving
office, hence his resort to blackmail and diversionary
tactics.
“We are solidly behind Buhari’s government in his war
against corruption. Nothing can derail our fight against
corruption, because we are determined to deal with
corruption squarely. So, this is just a noise to distract
Buhari”, she stated.
Olaleye assured that the primary to pick candidate for
the 2018 poll will be credible, free and fair and devoid of
imposition.
Presenting the gift to the party, Ojo promised to do more
to palliate the sufferings of the APC members, who are
now in opposition in the State.
Ojo, who was represented by former Commissioner in
Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board, Mr Richard
Apolola, added that “we are going to win and make the
state proud if given the ticket of the party.
“Apart from that, all party members will be treated
equally, because I don’t believe in segregation or division
among party members. As an aspirant, I am to serve as
a rallying point for all and not to cause unnecessary
cleavage that can affect our chances in 2018”.
Ojo pledged more supports to the party, urging his
contemporaries to uphold party supremacy and act
within the ambit of the party’s laid down rules for the
primary to be a success.

Jose Mourinho explains who his one-finger celebration was aimed at

Posted By
Jose Mourinho certainly didn’t hide his emotions after winning the Europa League with Manchester United. After his side triumphed over Ajax 2-0, the Portuguese boss celebrated wildly. Mourinho was seen embracing his son, whilst telling all of his players to hold up three fingers to signify their fairly underwhelming ‘treble’ of the Community Shield, EFL Cup and now the Europa League. But there was one action that nobody could quite understand. Immediately after the final whistle, Mourinho could be seen shaking his index finger rather passionately at the crowd. But what did it mean? Did he mean this was the first major trophy of his spell at United? Did it mean that he was still the Special One? Or was it a message to the victims of the Manchester attacks on Monday? Well, none of the above, actually. Mourinho has actually revealed exactly who his one-finger celebration was aimed at. Mourinho explains his celebration "It's for my family," Mourinho sa...

Awaiting the death and burial of recession

Posted By
Judging by how confident the governor of the Cen­tral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Mr Godwin Emefiele was as he made the announcement, we can only but agree that, all things being equal – like econ­omists the world over always posit – Nigeria will be out of recession latest by the third quarter of this year. Accord­ing to his well-heeled argu­ment, there was nowhere else for the nation’s beleaguered economy to head on account of the abiding positive indica­tors but out of recession. Who indeed would doubt him with inflation trending down­wards, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) improving and foreign exchange going to the real sector as and when needed? What is more! This opti­mism is no less supported by the recent release of the na­tion’s economic position by the National Bureau of Statis­tics (NBS). According to the release, though the nation’s GDP con­tracted by 0.52 per cent in the 1st Quarter of 2017 repre­senting the fifth consecutive quarter of contraction since the first quarter...
