The Yoruba Ronu Leadership Forum has said that President Muhammadu Buhari has been more democratic than the three previous presidents before him, including Olusegun Obasanjo.  Mr Akin Malaolu, the Secretary-General of the forum said this in a statement on Saturday in Abuja. The Forum was reacting to recent alarm by Obasanjo that plans were being plotted to frame him by the Buhari-led APC government. Malaolu, who described Obasanjo’s alarm as strange, said: “if anything at all was tormenting him, it must be karma that knows his face and has his addresses.” “If Civil Society Organisations call for Nigeria’s anti corruption agencies to urgently revisit the 16 billion dollars Obasanjo Electricity and Power Development Contracts, will that now be deemed that Buhari is plotting to kill Obasanjo. “When Obasanjo was calling on Nigerians not to re-elect Buhari come 2019, there was nothing seen as wrong with his inciting and national destabilisation acts and declarations,” Malaolu...

CORRECTION TO BUHARI, BIAFRANS ARE MERELY DEFENDING THEIR LIVES FROM THE BRUTALITY OF NIGERIA, MASSACRE AND GENOCIDE. Let me officially respond to the reckless comment of Lt. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari on Biafra and the civil war. 1. First let see the comment, "the Nigerian army was soft on Biafra during the civil war". There have been many reactions and spontaneous reactions over this comment since it was made. No one has welcomed the statement or has defended it. The statement exposed the recklessness of our president, his dark mind and deep-seated hate for the Biafrans. 2. The worst thing to victims of genocide and ethnic cleansing is denial of the act. Throughout history, denial of the acts of genocide and ethnic cleansing have always provoked spontaneous reactions like street protests, riots and violent demonstrations. This is because to deny the fact of genocide is equivalent to the actual act. It reopens the pains of tragic history and recreates the animosi...

The Abia State House of Assembly has passed into law the bill to control nomadic cattle rearing and prohibition of grazing routes in the state, sponsored by Rt. Honorable Martins Azubuike, member representing Isiala Ngwa North state constituency. Speaking to journalists after the passage of the bill, the Speaker, Rt. Honorable Chikwendu Kalu said the anti-grazing law was necessary to checkmate the worrisome activities of herdsmen who he said have been a major threat to lives, property and peace of the land. The speaker added that the, “law stipulates that every cattle entering into tbe state must be registered at the entry point to the state and must be conveyed in a vehicle, failure of which would attract seizure of the cattle and severe sanctions.” He also  noted that the law stipulates strict sanctions for defaulters, charging those saddled with the responsibility of implementing it to be up and doing.

The award  of Nigeria’s highest national honour to late Moshood Abiola  is illegal, a former Chief Justice of Nigeria has told PREMIUM TIMES. President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday evening named Mr Abiola, winner of 1993 presidential election that was annulled by former dictator Ibrahim Babangida, a holder of the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic, GCFR, 20 years after his death in 1998. Alfa Belgore, CJN from 2006-2007, said the national honours cannot be awarded posthumously, much less the GCFR, which is the highest honour in the land. “It is not done,” Mr Belgore told PREMIUM TIMES by telephone Wednesday night. “It is for people living.” “The only thing they could do is to name a place after him, but national honours award, no,” he added. Mr Belgore, chairman of the 2016 national honours committee, also said he “was not consulted” by the Buhari administration before the decision was taken. Mr Belgore said under the 1963 National Honours Act, only soldie...
