Amaechi Boasts That No One Has The Right To Probe Him

Former Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, says no anti-corruption agency in the country can probe him.

Recall that Amaechi along with some other former governors: Rabiu Kwankwaso (Kano); Sullivan Chime (Enugu); Babatunde Fashola (Lagos); Godswill Akpabio (Akwa Ibom); Sule Lamido (Jigawa); Shehu Shema (Katsina) and Martin Elechi of Ebonyi State were being probed by the Independent Corrupt Practices and related offences Commission.

However, Chief Tony Okocha, a former aide to Amaechi, told one of said that the ex-governor was not afraid of ICPC or the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission as long as the probe was not a witch-hunt.

Okocha, however, recalled that the ICPC and the EFCC had not vacated a court order stopping any of them from investigating any Rivers Government official and as such could not probe him.

He stated that Governor Nyesom Wike was a beneficiary of such order from the court, adding that until the court injunction was vacated, it would be illegal for the ICPC to probe his boss. 

“I have always said that Amaechi is not afraid of the EFCC or the ICPC as long as such probe is not a witch-hunt. Again, there is a court order that the EFCC or other agency like it cannot probe any government official in the state. Wike is a beneficiary of that court order. 

“Until that court order is vacated, the ICPC or the EFCC have no right to investigate Amaechi. Since what they are going to investigate is his (Amaechi’s) activities while in government, the EFCC and the ICPC do not have such right to do so based on the standing court order.”

Donald Trump supports Kanye West's 2020 presidential run

Donald Trump says he's ready to support Kanye West in 2020 when he ready to run for president.

The current presidential hopeful tellsRolling Stone this week that he's totally in favor of the 'Yeezus' star running for president especially if it means they get to run against each other.

The 38-year-old rapper announced his bid for the White House on Sunday, August 30 at the tail end of his 13-minute acceptance speech for theMTV's Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 VMAs.

Trump admitted to the mag that he watched Kanye! "I saw him do it, and I said, 'That's very interesting. I wonder who gave him that idea? He's actually a different kind of person than people think.  He's a nice guy. I hope to run against him someday," the real estate mogul said of the outspoken musician.

Trump and West have had their differences before — back in 2009, the Republican front-runner told TMZ he wanted to boycott the rapper because of his incident with Taylor Swift at that year's VMAs — but those days seem to be behind them now.

"He said very nice things about me in the past. And he knows my daughter a little bit, Ivanka. And he said very good things about me. Very, very good things. Extremely positive things," the business magnate told Rolling Stone.

Buhari says Nigerians will soon see the change he promised

President Muhammadu Buhari has assured that Nigerians will soon see the fulfillment of his election campaign promises.

Buhari, who disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja while receiving university students, assured Nigerian youth that his government’s anti-corruption campaign would secure their future.

In an address to members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) who marched to the presidential villa to pledge their full support for his anti-corruption campaign, Buhari promised that he will do his best to place Nigeria well on the way to becoming the nation of their dreams.

“Everything you have asked for are the things that will make for a good country, and what we are after is a good country, a country where our youths can have a future and a hope,” the president said.

“We are totally committed to building a country where our youths can realize their full potential.

“You can be assured that your welfare and well-being are topmost in our minds and very soon you will see the things we have promised come to fruition.

“During the campaigns, change was our slogan, but today it is no longer a mere slogan, it is now a reality and we will see it in every facet of our lives.

“The youth will feel it, the adults will feel it and old people will feel it and we will get the country of our dreams,’’ Adesina.

At last, Buhari, Osinbajo declare assets

Osinbajo is richer than Buhari. Owns houses in VI, Ikoyi, England.

THE Presidency last night released details of President Muhammadu Buhari’s declaration of assets, which put his net worth at less than N30 million.

Also, his deputy, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo, a successful lawyer and accomplished university teacher, was said to have about N94 million and $900,000 in his bank accounts.A snippet of Buhari/Osinbajo’s asset declaration form released by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, read: 

“Documents submitted by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), on May 28 showed that the retired General has indeed been living an austere and spartan lifestyle, contrary to what many might expect of a former Head of State of Nigeria and one who has held a number of top government positions, such as governor, Minister of Petroleum and the head of the Petroleum Special Trust Fund (PTF).

“The documents submitted to the CCB, which officials say are still being vetted and will soon be made public, show that prior to being sworn in on May 29, President Buhari had less than N30 million to his name.  He also had only one bank account, with the Union Bank. President Buhari had no foreign account, no factory and no enterprises.  He also had no registered company and no oil wells.

“The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) who had been a successful lawyer before his foray into politics declared a bank balance of about N94 million and $900,000 in his bank accounts.

“President Buhari declared however, that he had shares in Berger Paints, Union Bank and Skye Bank. This is entirely unlike what one might expect from a former head of state of a country like Nigeria.

“The documents also revealed that President Buhari had a total of five homes, and two mud houses in Daura. He had two homes in Kaduna, one each in Kano, Daura and in Abuja. One of the mud houses in Daura was inherited from his late older sister, another from his late father. He borrowed money from the old Barclays Bank to build two of his homes.

“President Buhari also has two undeveloped plots of land, one in Kano and the other in Port Harcourt.  He is still trying to trace the location of the Port Harcourt land.

“In addition to the homes in Daura, he has farms, an orchard and a ranch. The total number of his holdings in the farm include 270 heads of cattle, 25 sheep, five horses, a variety of birds and a number of economic trees.

“The documents also showed that the retired General uses a number of cars, two of which he bought from his savings and the others supplied to him by the Federal Government in his capacity as former Head of State.  The rest were donated to him by well wishers after his jeep was damaged in a Boko Haram bomb attack on his convoy in July 2014. “As revealed by the same forms, highlights of the Vice-President, Prof. Yemi Osinbajo’s asset declaration include his four-bedroom residence at Victoria Garden City, (VGC) Lagos and a three-bedroom flat at 2 Mosley Road, Ikoyi. The Vice President also has two-bedroom flat at the popular Redemption Camp along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and a two-bedroom mortgaged property in Bedford, England. Aside from these, the Vice President has no other landed properties on the form.

“Apart from his law firm, known as SimmonsCooper, the vice-president also declared shareholding in six private companies based in Lagos, including Octogenerium Ltd., Windsor Grant Ltd., Tarapolsa, Vistorion Ltd., Aviva Ltd. and MTN Nigeria.”

 According to details shown on the form, the Vice-President has about N94million, $900,000 and £19,000 in Nigerian Banks with the foreign currencies kept in local domiciliary accounts. His personal vehicles are one Infinity 4-Wheel Drive SUV, one Mercedes Benz and a Prado Jeep.

“As soon as the CCB is through with the process, the documents will be released to the Nigerian public and people can see for themselves,” Shehu said.
