Presidency- Buhari to make 6000 appointments

In an interview with Sahara TV on Saturday, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, stated that Buhari would be fair to all. He also called for patience and  reassured Nigerians that the President still has over 6,000 appointments to make.

Buhari, who recently sacked the country’s service chiefs that served under former President Goodluck Jonathan and dissolved the boards of many Federal Government parastatals across the country, has been criticised for not constituting his cabinet and appointing people into various boards of parastatals.

 

The President has also being accused of allegedly favouring the North in the appointment he had made so far. But,

“I think President Muhammadu Buhari is sensitive to the diversity of this country. He has more than 6,000 appointments to make. Therefore, why would anybody use less than 10 appointments to judge the President on this matter? Again, it boils down to the lack of patience. This man is an experienced leader. Nigeria stands to gain from the accumulation of wisdom that he has garnered over his long life on earth. He has sworn to an oath that he’s a President of all.

“This government will make as many as 6,000 appointments. And he is bound, even if he doesn’t wish it, by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to reflect federal character.”

Father charged with abandoning 3-year-old daughter at a restaurant

A man was arrested last Sunday morning after leaving his 3-year-old daughter at a Subway restaurant in Harlem on Saturday July 11th, police said.

34 year old Stanley Fredrique, of Elmont, Long Island, has been charged with abandonment of a child, reckless endangerment and act in a manner injurious to a child.

The man and the toddler entered the restaurant around 11:30 p.m. The father bought the child a sandwich and then left, police said.
Police said the girl could tell them her name, Natalie, but not much else.

The man was being held at the 26th Precinct station house. As the father was being taken into custody, he protested his arrest.

“You guys not in my shoes, you guys don’t have no idea what’s going on,” Fredrique cried out.
Surviellance video shows Fredrique and his daughter happily walking toward the Subway shop where he bought the child a sandwich and left her there.

Rahman Mohammed, who was working at a fruit stand outside said he believes the father was drunk.
He said:

"The 3 year old said to her Dad ‘Daddy Daddy Daddy’ and the guy came back and talked to the girl, ‘little baby, oh go sit down, I’m come back,'” Mohammed said. “And that’s it, he left, ya, he left and didn’t come back again.”

A good Samaritan at the restaurant then took her to a police station.

Fredrique was apparently intoxicated when he left the child at the restaurant, sources told Langford.
He told police he forgot her, and when he realized she was missing, he tried to report her missing to police, the sources said.

“We tried to ask her her last name, she couldn’t come up with her last name,” Detective Vincent Signoretti told Stern. “And before the good Samaritan walked her over to the local precinct, they tried walking around the neighborhood, and she couldn’t figure out where she lived either.”

Natalie, who was wearing a green dress with white polka dots and blue pants, was transported to St. Luke’s Hospital, for evaluation, but has no injuries.

The girl has since been released into the custody of her mother. The mother refused to give a comment to reporters.

Aisha Buhari says she still cooks for her Husband

Wife of the President, Mrs. Aisha Buhari, said that despite her status as the wife of the Nigerian president and having lots of staff in the Villa, she still cooks her husband’s food.
She revealed this at a party she organized  to mark the Eid-el-Fitri celebration at the Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

She said:

“I’m going to leave you soon. I want to go back home to cook for my husband because my children are here playing with you. Nobody is at home, only my husband. So, I want to go back home to be with him and also cook dinner for him”, she said.

She further stated that the Sallah party was an indication of promoting warm interaction and sharing.

She said, “On occasions like this, we celebrate with children, especially the less privileged, including those in the various internally displaced persons’ (IDPs) camp. We love, appreciate and share with their present situation.

“The reason for this is to promote warm interaction and sharing what we have with one another. On this note particularly, we decided to celebrate with all children from different background”.

She advised the children to obey their parents and teachers’ instructions both at home and schools.

“The future of this great country lies in your hands. You are to compliment the efforts of  government by working very hard in school and be obedient to your parents. Tomorrow you may become president, the president’s wife, Senator, honourable members, governors, medical doctors, teacher, journalist, engineer, nurse, lawyer and the rest of other honourable professions”, she added.

Photo: Man stabbed to death in fight over turn to rape girl in SA

You see how God works? An argument over a turn to rape a teenage girl in South Africa ended in one of the attackers stabbing and killing his accomplice. The incident happened in Oakmoor Extension 9 in Tembisa, over the weekend according to a report by SA newspaper, Sowetan Live.

According to SA police, the 2 men met the rape victim at a party on Saturday night and the man who was stabbed named Muzimkhulu Dlwathi took the girl away from the party to a house in Oakmoor.

"He grabbed her and went with her to Oakmoor together with his friend. When they arrived at the house, they overpowered the teenager and raped her." SA police spokesperson said
 

The police spokesperson said the two men took turns raping the victim and then 22 year old Muzi (pictured above) tried to rape the girl again

"The deceased decided to rape her again but his friend told him that he could not. A fight ensued between the two men. The suspect grabbed a sharp object and stabbed his friend in the upper body. During the fight the girl managed to run away"

The suspect then asked another friend to help him move the injured man to another place, that was when a resident in the building who suspected what was going on alerted the police.

The deceased family said they were shocked that he was accused of rape. Dlwathi's grandmother said he was a sweet boy.

"I last saw him on Saturday when he returned from a family function, he did not say where he was going. A boy came here later that night and told us he was stabbed. He was found in a shack, naked with a stab wound in the neck. He was a sweet boy. I do not believe what they are saying about him. I am not defending him, but why did he kill him?"

His mother also did not believe the allegations against her son.

"That is not my Muzi; he has a girlfriend and we know her. It is painful, especially the way he died," she said

Niger Delta group claims that Buhari wants to arrest & imprison GEJ

Yesterday, a civil rights organisation, Vanguards of Nigeria’s Democracy, claimed that president Buhari is planning to malign and imprison former president Goodluck Jonathan on fabricated charges

“We, the members of the Vanguards of Nigeria’s Democracy, are aware of some clandestine moves made by the APC-led government to probe, investigate, malign and imprison ex President Jonathan. We are already aware of the trumped-up charges the APC government is leveling against a man who has diligently served the Nigerian state at the highest level of government."


“The APC led government should take notice that the appointments made so far are skewed in favour of the North, as no Ijaw man has been appointed. While an Ijaw President did not discriminate in appointment, President Buhari is implementing a Northern agenda through some of the appointments.” the leader of the group Osaghae Ogiemudia, said in a statement

The group also claimed that the ongoing controversy between former Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole over Excess Crude Account and allegations that she spent billions of naira on his re-election, is part of what they want to use against GEJ.

 Reacting, Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina, said it was 'mere speculation'

“All these are speculations and I cannot react to speculations because there is nothing concrete yet against the former President.”
