The presidency has made it clear that instead of President Muhammadu Buhari resigning as demanded by the main opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), he will continue to pursue the agenda of cleansing the country of the legacy of corruption bequeathed by the same PDP.
“President Buhari will not resign. He is determined to continue the crusade against corruption, both legacy and recently unearthed cases, that are found to be shabbily handled, and in some cases unattended to by past administrations.
“The National Assembly, by virtue of its right to conduct its oversight function is currently carrying out own investigations. Additionally, the security and intelligence agencies are equally doing their part and must be given the time and space to conclude their work and present their reports.
“The PDP cannot scare the government from probing the grave allegations made against MDAs and their chiefs because, failure to do so will amount to a historic betrayal of public trust.
“The PDP cannot subject Nigeria’s democracy to subterranean attacks and continue to pretend that they are well-meaning.”
The senior special assistant to the President on media and publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in a statement today, July 24, regretted that at a time when the whole world is unifying to confront a common enemy, Nigeria’s opposition party, the PDP decided to launch what he called “a whirlwind campaign promoting undemocratic values.”
He recalled that the latest of the PDP undemocratic campaign was its call for President Buhari’s resignation for allowing audits and investigation into several agencies of government, including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
“Based on the statement issued by the embattled chairman of the Party, Prince Uche Secondus, it is clear that they would have liked the President to not investigate but to cover things up: to not wake the sleeping lion as voiced by another of their leaders.
“In a democracy, an opposition party is as critical to the system as the ruling party but in the case of Nigeria, the leading party in opposition is afflicted by a life-threatening sickness, the undemocratic pandemic as a result of which they are trading away the nation’s democratic values.
“The PDP government which exited the stage five years ago through a democratic election by voters dissatisfied with corruption on an industrial scale, policy paralysis, obsolete and decaying essential infrastructure appears to have forgotten the reason for their stunning defeat and seem hell-bent on the fooling the nation, yet again for another ride to power.”
The ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bauchi State has expressed shock over the defection of the immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
The Bauchi State PDP Public Relations Officer (PRO), Alhaji Yayanuwa Zainabari, said today, July 24 that Dogara’s exit from the party surprised them because the party has done a lot for the former Speaker.
He recalled that after his defection to PDP in 2019, the party gave him an automatic ticket to contest for the Bogoro/Tafawa Balewa/Dass federal constituency seat in the last general election.
According to Zainabari, in doing this, the party denied other politicians aspiring for the seat from his constituency the opportunity to contest the election.
The PRO said that the ruling party in Bauchi State voted for Dogara in three different times to represent his constituency in the National Assembly.

What the devil has attempted to do on Covid-19 pandemic and the issue of vaccine being prepared to fight the virus, is to create the pattern of communion. How? Communion involves that which is solid, and that which is liquid. The bread is solid, the wine is liquid. That’s what this vaccine project is all about.
Bill Gates, as Commander of the Ten, like I mentioned in the numerology of his name, has dealt with the solid, which is what the bread is, by affecting what we eat, in what is called GMO; Genetically Modified Organisms, now found in what we eat. This is the pattern for the bread. The vaccine on the other hand, brings the liquid to you, just like the blood, and it is injected into you. So, it is received into you, because, when you drink the wine, it goes into your system, so that when you consume the GMO’s, and you receive the vaccine, you bring the body and blood together; so to speak, just as it is in communion; the body of Jesus Christ and His blood. That’s what replicates that pattern. And I told you that the reason for the communion is because it affects you on three dimensions: Your eyes, your vision. Your mouth, the words that you speak, because, the power of life and death resides in the tongue. Your hands, your enterprise, what you can do.
So, what Bill Gates is doing; under the auspices of the United Nations, is to make sure that you receive the food … Many people did not complain about GMOs’, because they didn’t understand where this was leading. They thought it was just changing whatever nutritional values these things have. They did not understand the spiritual import: But now, they do.
So, when you eat the genetically modified organisms that you eat, and you take the vaccine, you’ve entered into communion with Satan, with Lucifer, and that communion involves blood. Now, since the blood of Jesus is not what he’s talking about, or what he has to offer, he will require you to seek blood somewhere else, and the only place that you can find blood, is another human being. So, one of the things that the vaccine will make you do, is to become a ‘vampire’, who needs to drink blood for sustenance. But we as Christians, we don’t drink blood, we drink the wine, which is an emblem of the blood, and that sustains us spiritually. But his communion will require you drinking blood spiritually, so that you are a vampire for your sustenance. That is why you have seen all of the movies about vampires.
Hollywood is one of the mouthpieces of the god of this world. He has many prophets there that are directors, and a lot of actors and producers. You say, why does he say what to do ahead of time? Because he is an imitator of scripture; of our God. Martin Luther called him the ape of God. He imitates God, because God; through prophecy, will tell you what He wants to do ahead of time; and you can’t change it. So, to provide the same pattern, he has his people telling you things, like Rockerfeller Foundation, and all these things that they say to you; ahead of time: And they assume that there is nothing that you can do about it, because this thing going on now, was already predicted, they already talked about it. They MUST provide the pattern … The pattern, because that’s where the power comes through, so, they must provide that pattern.
That’s why they do their movies, to tell you what they are going to do, because the drugs inside this vaccine, will make you a zombie; you are a walking cadaver, you’re neither dead nor alive, so, you can be controlled by the power of Satan … Zombified, so he can control you. He has the power, that’s why it’s called sorcery. In the book of Revelations, when the Bible talks about the reason why the people on earth cannot turn away from their sin, even though the judgment of God is manifest, the Bible says it’s because of their sorceries. That word is a translation of the word Pharmachaea; it’s a reference to drugs. That is not talking about drugs that you can easily swallow, or pills that you take, because, that will be too expensive for the devil; to turn all of the world into drug addicts; all of us. Now, he can do that, so, the easiest way to do it, is through vaccines.
So, everything he needs to put in the drugs, is in the vaccine. That’s why you see in the movies that deal with witchcraft like Harry Porter, things like that, you will see them stirring this liquid, because, when you take that, that’s the drug, that’s the pharmachaea, the reference to the drugs. It opens doors in the soul realm, in the mind realm, that God had shut, because of the sin of Adam. That’s why those who play around with drugs, when they take these drugs, they begin to hallucinate, and they begin to see things. Because doors that were shut, are open, because when you take these things, you become susceptible to witchcraft, and you can now leave your body into what they call astral travels, and things like that. You need those things as a catalyst, they facilitate the movement from physical into the spirit realm. And all of those things are in the drugs.
So, just as communion connects you to the Lord, through the bread, which connects you to the body, which gives you healing, and the wine connects you to the blood, which gives you forgiveness. That’s exactly what the devil will do, or is already doing. The GMO’s will connect you to Lucifer, the vaccine will connect you to Lucifer, concerning your body and your spirit, or your soul, so he can control you. That way, he can determine the population of the world, because, all he has to do, is command you to die; you kill yourself. Or command the disease to kill you, and he can reduce the population of the world through that, or turn you into a zombie, just like I said: he can do that. And he controls what you say, because that’s what communion does. Our mouth has power of life, and for Satan to control our mouth, we must begin to say words that are contrary to the Bible.
In the New Testament, there are two words that describe evil. There’s the word, kakos: When a man is doing evil, and just wants to do evil, and deals with the consequence of that evil, he doesn’t care about anybody else. He just wants to do evil, and then he’ll bear the consequences. But there’s another word called, poneros, which is used to describe the evil of this world. That is evil that is done by a man and he does it in such a way that he drags you down by the evil that he commits. So he wants you to be a partaker of the consequence of the evil, even though you did not partake in the evil, because those two words are used to describe Satan’s operations.
kakos; people who do evil on the internet, and then do not care about anyone else. They just purveyeur, they sell evil, they do evil, they attract evil, they communicate evil with the things that they say, they blaspheme God, they speak enchantments and divinations contrary to the word of Almighty God. Then you have others who are poneros evil, who do things to seduce others, so that they can participate in the consequence of the evil, and drag you down with them.

Some “respected” online publications fell prey to fake news purveyors yesterday, July 23, thereby throwing Nigerian and foreign readers into confusion. The news item, which surfaced yesterday and purportedly signed by the special adviser to the President on media and publicity, Femi Adesina, was on President Muhammadu Buhari’s acceptance of the Senate recommendation to dissolve the Interim Management Committee of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NNDC). The fake news, which went viral, with prominent news media in country displaying it on their websites, was subsequently disowned by Femi Adesina.
The fake news, titled: “Special Goverment Announcement”, goes thus: The Federal Government is in receipt of the Senate Recommendation that the NDDC IMC be dissolved and ii. that the NDDC be returned to the Presidency for proper supervision.
The Government set up a technical Committee to study this recommendation and advise it which committee has turned in its Recommendation.
Federal Government hereby accepts the Recommendation of the Senate and accordingly:
1. The President has hereby dissolved the NDDC IMC. The affected officers are to hand over to the most senior civil servant under them.
2. Dabota Godswill Jumbo{Dr)is hereby appointed as sole Administrator for initial period of 6 months.
3. The NDDC is hereby returned to the Presidency for proper supervision.
4. The President assures Niger Deltans that the forensic Audit of the Commission will continue unhindered.
Thank you.
Signed: Femi Adesina Presidential Spokesperson
July 23, 2020.
And in a statement today, July 24, titled: “fake news on NDDC attributed to me, Femi Adesina said: “a statement purportedly signed by me has been making the rounds that the Federal Government has dissolved the Interim Management Committee of the NDDC. Merchants of fake news in action. The communication did not emanate from the media office of the President. Please ignore.”
“I hear some people say Oshiomhole has lost his seat as the National Chairman of APC and I asked ‘is it my father’s job?’”
This was the response the immediate past National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, to those who have been jubilating over his loss of the party’s championship via judicial pronouncement.
Oshiomhole, who was addressing APC supporters ahead of the Edo gubernatorial election in September, stressed that he had no personal grudge against Governor Godwin Obaseki, who was disqualified by the APC’s primary electoral panel from flying the party’s flag for a second term.
He said that the APC screening committee relied on the documents to disqualify Obaseki from the party’s primary in 2020, adding that the PDP’s suit in 2016 against Obaseki, then of APC, was struck out because it was filed out of time.
Oshiomhole said that APC leaders had learnt from the mistake in Bayelsa State and decided to stick to the rules.
“In 2016, PDP took Obaseki to court that he forged certificates. Now, you remember one governor (PDP’s Nyesom Wike of Rivers State) that said there are tax collectors, when something moved, they collected the taxes and the certificates became okay.
“But let me tell you, members of APC’s screening committee knew that the man who forged documents, even if you vote for him, you know what happened to us in Bayelsa State.
‘’So, I need to assure you that the decision of the screening committee members to disqualify the sitting governor (of Edo State) was based on the evidence provided by PDP leaders in 2016, which they found to be correct and you do not repeat the same mistake twice.
“The only task we have is to go to every unit, every community, every ward, every local government area and remind them of where we stopped and ask them since we left, what new thing has been brought?
“If I failed Godwin Obaseki’s examination, by the grace of God on Pastor Osagie Ize-Iyamu, I will score A1.
‘’It is not unusual to misread people but it will be unusual after misreading them, you continue on that dangerous part.
‘’ We have a duty to correct it. I assure you that there are no personal issues whatsoever.”
Oshiomhole assured that Ize-Iyamu, a pastor of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), would ensure good governance from November 12.
The Senate has asked the Interim Management Committee (IMC) of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) to refund the N4.923 billion payments made to staff and contractors in breach of the procurement process.
It said that the refund should be made to the NDDC’s Account with immediate effect.
The resolution of the Senate was sequel to the adoption of recommendations of the Senate Ad Hoc Committee, investigating the alleged misappropriation of N40 billion by the current IMC. The recommendation of the committee was presented to the Senate by the Chairman, Sen. Adetumbi (APC Ekiti).
A breakdown of the refund included Overseas Travel to the United Kingdom N85.7million, Scholarship grants N105.5 milliion, Union Members’ trip to Italy N164.2 million.
Other refunds to be made to the NDDC’s Account by the IMC are: payment made for Lassa Fever Kit, N1.96 billion; payment for Public Communication valued at N1.12 billion, and COVID-19 fund, N1.49 billion.
The Senate also approved the recommendation that all expenditures on historical contracts and obligations like hotels, court judgment among others be refunded, as the payments were not provided for in the budget.
The recommendations approved by the Senate also indicated that henceforth, the NDDC should report directly to President Muhammadu Buhari.
It also recommended that the President should dissolve the IMC and set up a board for the commission.
The Senate recommended that oversight of the forensic audit should be transferred to the Office of the Auditor-General of the Federation, to ensure transparency.
It urged the Federal Government to appoint a renowned auditor to supervise the forensic audit.
It recommended the strengthening of the NDDC’s procurement department through appropriate staff engagement, by appointing staff with procurement chartered status, improved staff training among other policies on the procurement process.
Similarly, the Senate recommended a review of the corporate social responsibility of the NDDC, adding that it was difficult to find a correlation between the Niger Delta community development and the cash invested in the zone.
According to the upper legislative chamber, the continued cash injection in the Niger Delta has not worked under the various IMCs.
The Senate harped on the need for government to intervene, by stepping down the IMC and properly constituted a board with specific mandate, to address the pains of the Niger Delta people.
A consultant gynecologist, Dr Ayodele Ademola, has said that the best age for a woman to have children to avoid complications is between 20 and 30 years old.
Dr. Ademola, who is the Medical Director of Strong Tower Hospital and Advanced Fertility Centre, a Lagos-based private medical facility, said that the issue of fertility and pregnancy are connected with age.
The medical practitioner, who spoke with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos today, July 23, said that women from the ages of 35 and above could be experiencing complications, such as pre-eclampsia, eclampsia and diabetes, among others.
“As women grow older, the fertility also decreases significantly,” he said, adding that genetic problems could sometimes lead to higher rate of cesarean sections.
“The pregnancy is of high risk; so also the life of the baby, especially in women with first pregnancy at that age.
“Some of the children are born with deformities, such as Down syndrome and others.
“Unfortunately, most young women of these days think of settling down to start a family from 35 years and above.”
Dr Ademola said that the more a woman gets older, the greater her chances of having miscarriage, adding that extreme teenage pregnancy could also be of high risk.
He said that the chances of a woman having multiple-pregnancies like twins are very common around 35 years.
Ademola called on pregnant women to visit clinics at all times for quality healthcare for both themselves and their babies.
A housewife in Katsina, Fatima Bishir, has allegedly arranged the kidnap of her five-year-old daughter.
Fatima, who was arrested today, July 23 by the Katsina State Police Command, had allegedly sent an SMS to her husband and demanded N2 million ransom in Mashi local government area of the state before the daughter would be released.
The command’s spokesman, Gambo Isah, who spoke to news men said: “on July 5, 2020 at 0800 hours, the suspect falsely reported at Mashi Police Division that her little daughter was missing and strongly suspected the ex-wife of her husband.”
According to the spokesman, the suspect also claimed that the said ex-wife once threatened her that she would revenge the death of her daughter who died under her care.
“The suspect took the pants and canvas shoe of the daughter to the house of the ex-wife to implicate her, where the police recovered them.
“After thorough investigation, the suspect confessed that she wrote the text message sent to her husband, Bishir Isyaku, 40, threatening him to either pay N2 million ransom or risk his daughter being killed by the kidnappers.
“The suspect confessed to have taken away the daughter from their residence in Mashi to Kano, where she hid her with help of her housemaid, Faiza.
“However, luck ran out of the suspect when she took the girl away from Kano to Dutse, trying to abandon her near the house of the ex-wife’s mother.”
He said the investigation was ongoing and the suspects would be prosecuted to serve as deterrent to others.
