Daura: Simplicity, Contentment redefined in Buhari’s abode

Hardly will anyone argue that the contemporary Nigerian society is not such that is riddled with avarice and corruption.
Both the public and private sectors of the economy stink with stench of clandestine criminal activities. From the office of Local Government Councillor to the exalted office of nation’s President, looting of public treasury stands tall.
The evidence: Palatial houses, private jets, exotic cars, countless Chieftaincy titles, flamboyant foreign trips, properties at home and abroad, the list goes endlessly. In fact, it could be a taboo to occupy and exit office without embezzling public funds. But in the midst of all these, there is a Nigerian whose integrity resonates even with tearful testimonials. He is General Mohammadu Buhari. From east to west, north to south, he stands assuredly different from among folks.
He has occupied many exalted offices within the political hemisphere of Nigeria, yet available records show he did not selfishly enrich himself. Perhaps, the piece below intrinsically laced up with pictures of the country-side bungalow of Buhari in Daura, Katsina State tells the story more.

Did Oba Akiolu’s threat work for Ambode? Yes and No!

Pa Ikechukwu Okonkwo, a septuagenarian, and his family stayed back in their three-bedroom apartment in Festac Town, Amuwo Odofin, Lagos, to monitor reports from his large screen television while the April 11 gubernatorial election lasted.


Unlike the previous election, where the aged grandpa had encouraged all his children to vote for President Goodluck Jonathan in the March 28 presidential election, this time, he handed down a warning to all members of the family never to be involved in the gubernatorial election in the state. His reason was not farfetched.

REPORT: NNPC TOP MGT TO GO, ACCOUNTS TO BE PROBED

Incoming Muhammadu Buhari administration will replace the top management of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), Reuters news agency reported yesterday.
It will also review the accounts of the oil company to restore credibility, Reuters said, quoting sources within Buhari’s party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).
It said the new government will submit a bill to break the NNPC into four entities, as already prescribed in the latest PIB draft. 
One APC source told Reuters that the Bill “will also, crucially, remove the oil minister from the NNPC’s board of directors to curb political interference.”
Others said more generally that the minister’s current powers would be heavily trimmed.
Oil and gas will have separate companies for upstream, with a third covering pipelines and refining, while a fourth will be an inspectorate.
The proposal could be submitted to parliament in the first quarter of next year, one parliamentary APC source said.
