SOUTH WEST LEADERS DEMAND NEW CONSTITUTION BEFORE 2019 ELECTIONS.


 Stakeholders seek action on 2014 confab report
South West delegates to the 2014 National Conference organised by former President Goodluck Jonathan have demanded that the 2019 general elections should be conducted on the basis of a new and truly federal constitution.
They maintained it was the yearning of the people from the zone.
After a reunion yesterday in Abuja, the leaders said the implementation of the report was the irreducible minimum to move Nigeria forward and build a nation that works for the citizenry.
In a statement signed by their chairman, deputy and secretary, Chief Olu Falae, Alani Akinrinade (rtd) and Dr. Kunle Olajide, the delegates urged the Federal Government to initiate the process for the National Assembly to pick up the report submitted to the immediate past legislative chambers for implementation.
Also yesterday, a summit held in Abuja to push for the implementation of the report. The gathering enumerated the major issues militating against the smooth functioning of the federation, stating that only an action on the document could solve these problems.
The participants noted specifically that the perennial problem of deadly clashes between farmers and herdsmen would have been resolved if this administration had implemented the report.
Peopled by the likes of Professor Jerry Gana; John Dara; Tanko Yakassai and Yinka Odumaki; the summit declared that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration must abandon its opposition to the implementation of the document.
The summit, which held at the Abuja residence of the owner of DAAR Communication, Raymond Dokpesi, held that “no progressive government can and should dismiss the recommendations of such a serious and representative gathering of thinkers and leaders.”

Nigerian Jollof is better than Ghanaian Jollof- Vp Osibanjo

We all know about the age-long beef about the superiority of Ghanaian Jollof and Nigerian Jollof, and the how Nigeria’s Minister for Information, Lai Mohammed goofed last weekend, when asked by CNN’s Richard about the African country that makes the best Jollof rice. Nigeria’s Vice President Yemi Osinbajo today weighed in on the forever lingering battle of which Jollof Rice in the continent is the best. Osinbajo who spoke today at the Platform Nigeria, a church based programme in Lagos today, disclosed that Nigerians make the best Jollof rice and that we beat Ghana and Senegal to it hands down. He also talked about Dino Melaye’s hit track, Ajeku Iyani. Here’s what he said; “Nobody is as funny as Nigerians and Nigerian comedians whether professionals or amateurs.

Buhari should address Nigerians to douse tension – AIED

A non-governmental organization, Advocacy for Integrity and Economic Development (AIED), has implored President Muhammadu Buhari to address the nation in a live and interactive broadcast to douse tension across the country over the state of his health. In a statement signed by its Director of Research &Publicity, Comrade O’Seun John, the group stated that the request has become expedient in light of rumours and counter rumours ranging from incapacitation, disorientation and even death. According to AIED, the cacophony of defenses, which more than often have turned out to be false, is doing more harm than good to waning goodwill left in the Buhari’s administration. AIED said: “Today, the fragile fabric of peace and unity of our great country, Nigeria, is on the vestiges of ruin. The continuous non-appearance of President Muhammadu Buhari from sworn duties and the reports of cabal infiltration of the seat of power is not only worrisome but negates the tenets of democratic rul...
