Reacting to a video of APC leader, Adams Oshiomhole saying 'government house should not be occupied by entertainers', PMAN President, Pretty Okafor has described the politician as a 'ritualist, viagra drinking faggot'.

In his response to the video, Okafor wrote, 'we can no longer entertain fagots in government, like this name calling ritualist viagra drinking Adam's Oshiomhole. You can never compare your no do well politician to an entertainer. You all failed the country and brought nigeria to this dark depth, that the country is inn now. Look around loud mouth, the entertainment industry is the only industry that has changed the perception of this country booth in africa and the diaspora. Entertainers are the reason why nigerians are alive and still happy today. Don't join us with your filthy inconsiderate uncivilized political stupidity. Leave us for our zone and face your shame. Let this be the last warning to all the politicians'.

A 28-year-old man, Kelvin Michael, has been arrested by men of the Ogun state police command, for the death of his 40-year-old married lover, Monsurat Idowu, after they had a marathon sex at his home on Wednesday, August 15th, 2018.

Michael was arrested after a staff of the Ota General Hospital, Benjamin Okereke, alerted the police when he brought Monsurat's corspe to the hospital.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Abimbola Oyeyemi, who confirmed the incident, said Michael upon interrogation, said the suspect claimed to have met Monsurat last month in a bus at Ketu, Lagos State, where they exchanged phone numbers.

''The suspect told the police that he invited her to the house of his friend in Ota where the deceased slumped and died shortly after they had sex. The police contacted Monsurat’s husband, Lamidi Idowu, who is a commercial bus driver.”

Oyeyemi said the husband of the deceased told the police that he left his wife in the house hale and hearty while going to work, wondering what might have led to her untimely death. The PPRO said Monsurat’s corpse had been deposited in a mortuary for autopsy.

Alhaji Adamu Chilariye, the Chairman Yobe State Executive Committee (SEC) of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of illegally buying the permanent voter’s card (PVC) of unsuspecting members of the public.  

He made the accusation on Thursday at a press briefing in Damaturu where he stated that the state EXCO of the APC was notified of the development. 

“The PDP political office holders in Yobe Zone B have been using surrogates to purchase voter’s cards within Potiskum town at the cost of N5000  per PVC”  

He said the APC has lodged complaints with the security agencies against the illegal act. However, Chilariye advised the general public to be careful not to fall into the  politicians’ trap. The chairman  disassociated SEC from some political aspirants in APC who had begun to deceive members of the party that they were endorsed by the SEC.

“The SEC wishes to state that it has no anointed aspirant and will only support the candidate that emerges as the party’s flag bearer during primaries.”, the chairman said.

The Abia state police command have arrested six suspected homosexuals who were caught kissing and caressing at the City Global Hotel in Aba, the state capital. 

Parading the suspected homosexuals before newsmen, the state police commissioner, Anthony Ogbizi, said the hotel manager had alerted the police after two of the homosexuals were found kissing and caressing themselves by the hotel bar. A search in a room where one of them checked in, showed that there were several others in the room caressing and kissing themselves. 

According to the police report, the suspects were interrogated and it was discovered that they were members of a gang who came into Abia from nearby states to practise the unnatural act in the hotel room.

The suspects, however, denied committing the crime, saying that they were in Aba for the birthday party of one of their friends, Ndubuisi, adding that their families were not aware that they were arrested.

One of them, Chidera, who is an Imo State University undergraduate, said they were all in one room because they were told that the category of room they asked for was not available.

“I arrived the hotel at about 6pm and I asked my friend to book for a room for me. The hotel management said we should pay N5,000 for a room and we could afford it. So, we decided to manage that one room. After drinking at the hotel bar, we went to the room to change our clothes.  It was at that time that we heard a knock on the door and when we opened the door, the manager started asking why we were six in the room. After explaining to him, he said they don’t allow more that three persons in a room and that was how he accused us of practising homosexuality in the room. There was nothing like kissing or making love in the room and we are not gays.” she said

 Another suspect, Ndubuisi, who claimed to be a hair stylist, also stated that he only invited his friends for his birthday party and lodged them in the hotel, adding that they did not indulge in any homosexual act.

“I invited my friends for my birthday and I wanted to pay for two rooms but we couldn’t because the rooms were filled up, that was why we were in one room,” he said.

The Commissioner of Police, however, said the hotel management would bring the evidence against the suspects, who, he said, would be charged to court.

As the plot by APC to impeach Senator Bukola Saraki thickens, two PDP lawmakers, Senator Rafiu Adebayo and Senator Isa Misau, have filed a lawsuit against the Attorney-General of the Federation, the police, the Department of State Services, the Senate and seven others in order to stop any attempt to remove Saraki as Senate President.

According to Punch, Senators Adebayo and Misau, who are supporters of Saraki and represent Kwara-South and Bauchi central senatorial districts respectively, instituted the fresh court action marked FHC/ABJ/CS/872/2018 before a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja yesterday August 13th.

Other defendants in the suit are: the majority and deputy majority leaders of the Senate, the Clerk of the Senate, the Deputy Clerk of the Senate, the Senate President, the Deputy Senate President and the Deputy Minority Leader.

In the originating summons filed on their behalf by Mahmud Magaji (SAN), the plaintiffs want the Federal High Court to determine whether in view of the provisions of Section 50(1) (a) and (2) of the 1999 Constitution, Saraki, who defected to another political party as a result of the division in his former party, can be made to vacate his office other than in accordance with Section 50 of the constitution.

The senators also want the court to determine whether Saraki can be compelled to vacate his office on the grounds that he is not a member of the political party with a majority of senators in the Senate in view of the combined reading of Section 50 of the constitution and Order 3 Rule 8 of the Senate Standing Orders.

The court was also urged to determine whether the Senate President could be said to have vacated his office by virtue of Section 50(2) of the constitution when he had not ceased to be a member of the Senate or the Senate dissolved.

In a motion on notice filed along with the originating summons, the plaintiffs prayed the court for an order of interlocutory injunction restraining all the defendants (except the Senate, Senate President and Deputy Senate President) jointly and severally either by themselves, their agents, servants and privies from unlawfully removing the Senate President pending the hearing and determination of the substantive suit.

They also prayed the court for another order of interlocutory injunction restraining the AGF and the Inspector-General of Police from unlawfully interfering with the lawful legislative duties of the Senate President pending the hearing and determination of their originating summons.

Besides, the plaintiffs asked for an order of interlocutory injunction stopping the IG and the DSS from harassing, intimidating, arresting or detaining the President of the Senate in respect of the lawful exercise of his duties pursuant to Section 50(1) of the constitution and another order directing parties in the case to maintain status quo pending the determination of the substantive matter.

The motion was predicated on seven grounds amongst which were that the agents of the IG and DSS had taken steps to flagrantly breach the provisions of Section 50 by employing their agents to disrupt the plenary of the Senate without recourse to the said provisions.

Another grounds were that the constitutional provision of removal of the Senate President does not empower the AGF, police and DSS to unlawfully interfere with the legislative duties of the Senate by causing a blockade at the premises of the National Assembly complex or using their agents to disrupt the lawful duties of the Senate.

In a 13-paragraph affidavit in support of the motion on notice and deposed to by Senator Isah Misau, he averred that the Senate was a body recognised and established by the 1999 Constitution vested with powers of making laws for the good governance and well-being of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

The deponent averred that the Senate held a plenary sitting between July 24 and 27 and that it was presided over by its President and that at the end of the sitting members adjourned till September 25.

Misau claimed that the All Progressives Congress as a platform for the Senate President had been bedevilled by crises resulting in divisions and factionalisation at the federal, state and local government levels.

 

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described the brazen threat by the Buhari Campaign Organization (BCO) to take over the National Assembly, should the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Presidency fail in their bid to forcefully change the leadership of the Senate, as treasonable.

The party said the threat has also further confirmed the involvement of the Presidency and forces associated with President Muhammadu Buhari in the invasion of the National Assembly, the besieging of the official residences of Senate President Bukola Saraki and Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu by security agencies as well as the plots to arrest, detain and impeach them ahead of Senate’s resumption.

Nigerians can now see, from the threat by the official campaign organization of Mr. President, that the Presidency was economical with the truth in its statement wherein it attempted to dissociate itself from the ugly developments in the Senate, which have put our nation’s stability and our democracy under serious stress.

Furthermore, we invite Nigerians to note that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has given its official nod to this treasonable threat by BCO to forcefully take over the institution of the National Assembly, an arm of government duly established by our constitution, thereby confirming its complicity in the attacks on the legislature.

Consequently, the PDP charges security agencies to save the nation’s democracy by immediately looking into the immediate and remote impetus behind this open threat to our democracy and make their findings public.

Senator Godswill Akpabio (APC-Akwa Ibom) says any move to declare his seat vacant in the Senate will prove abortive. Akpabio made this known when he spoke to newsmen in Abuja today Monday, August 13th.

The sentaor who defected from PDP to APC last week, said if his seat must be declared vacant, the seats of those, who defected to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), should also be declared vacant. According to him, if the excuse of those calling for his seat to be declared vacant is that there is no rancour in PDP to warrant his defection, they should also know there is no rancour in APC.

“Any defection from APC to PDP, we will like to declare those seats vacant. As you are looking at me, do I look perturbed? I have not heard the report. I think that is a rumour because at the moment, there is no division in the APC. The APC is one family.

“If you hear about R-APC that was not really a political party, that was not a division. It has since been consumed in what they call Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP)''Akpabio said

On the threat by APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole to get the President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki impeached, Akpabio said he was not aware of that.

“I just came in from Ikot-Ekpene, where I decided with my people to join APC. I’m yet to be briefed on any of those items. I have not heard anything. Why don’t you wait for me to formally talk to you? I believe that when the National Assembly resumes, you will hear from me directly. So, exercise patience’’, he said

Akpabio, while defecting from PDP to APC, also tendered his resignation as Minority Leader.
