David Lyon’s sack: Buhari told to arrest, prosecute Adams Oshiomhole immediately…

When a man who never thought that he would be made a king becomes one, his kingship often gets into his head! I wonder why people that used to be Respected, before they Joined APC, are now something else entirely. Very Unfortunate!

Barrister Olusegun Bamgbose called on President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately order the arrest and prosecution of the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole over his outburst shortly after the Supreme Court’s ruling that sacked David Lyon as Bayelsa State governor-elect. This was as a result of the forged certificate which was presented to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) by Lyon’s deputy, Degi-Eremieoyo.
Adams Oshiomhole was angered by the court’s decision and vowed that no one would be sworn-in as the governor in Bayelsa State. He added that Bayelsa would remain without a governor. This singular act of Oshiomhole activated some angry mob who were suspected to be supporters of the APC.
They attacked the premises of the Bayelsa State Broadcasting Corporation, damaging and looting valuables to protest the declaration of the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Douye Diri, as the Governor-elect by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Bar. Bamgbose, in his statement on Sunday, said it is really quite sad and unfortunate that Oshiomole could descend so low to incite violence because Supreme Court sacked Mr. Lyon, the APC candidate. According to the senior lawyer, he expected Oshiomole to have decorum in addressing the issue, but he wondered why the APC national chairman chose to throw decency in the dustbin and dared the Supreme Court judgment.
“This is an affront on the Supreme Court of the land. He [Oshiomhole] should be charged with contempt of law and he may likely spend about 3 months behind bar to purge himself of this contempt.” He said.
From his statement, it is obvious Oshiomole has actually outlived his usefulness in the Party. People still wonders why the party is still keeping him as the leader. If Oshiomole is the best person in APC, to be the National Chairman, then it’s most unfortunate. He has done more damage to the party than good. I’ve reasons to believe that Oshiomole was sidelined in the scheme of things.
“The recent outbursts of Adams Oshiomole, is to say the least shocking. It’s however more shocking that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led Presidency has maintained a stoic silence. Let keep our fingers crossed and watch the outcome of the silence.
People expect the Presidency to order the immediate arrest of Adam Oshiomole not minding that he is the party leader because he incited violence and exhibited and promoted political rascality which should not go unpunished. We expect the law takes its course in subject matter as no leader is above the law. We also hope the presidency takes a stand, enough of all these silence in this country when actions need to be taken.

Arms Procurement Investigation: “Issues of arms procurement were done by specific individuals, call these individuals to explain to you ” – COAS Ibrahim Attahiru tells House of Reps members

A dramatic scene was recorded today April 13 after the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Ibrahim Attahiru appeared before House of Representatives ad-hoc committee on arms and ammunition as part of the investigation into arms purchase by the military.
Attahiru refused to speak on arms procurement after presenting a document to the committee.
According to the COAS, he just resumed office and the issues surrounding the procurement of arms should be answered by the “specific individuals” who initiated the purchase.
He said;
“The submission before you speaks to the report before you. It is an executive summary. It is very self-explanatory to the extent that it has been pluralised. When you demanded this report, you stated a specific period for which you wanted it.
“You may wish to recall that the Chief of Army Staff took over the mantle of leadership barely two months ago.
“The period for which you want this report having been summarised in the executive summary explained whatever details you require.
“Issues of arms procurement that you so demand to know were done by specific individuals, I will rather you call these individuals to explain to you very specific issues the general explanation is contained in this report.”
A member of the committee, Ejiro Ogene had also faulted the COAS explanation for not appearing before the committee earlier.
Ogene said;
“When we ask you to come, the people are the ones speaking, sovereignty lies in the people; if we see it like this, things will be different.
“I expect that the COAS tenders an apology, not an explanation; you are serving the people and they are as your employer.”
Firing back at him, Attahiru insisted that his explanation serves as an apology. He said;
“When you say I offered an explanation, it is as good as an apology. It only tells you the reasons why I wasn’t here and the reasons are pungent enough.”
Following the rising tension at the proceeding, Chairman of the Committee Olaide Akinremi ruled that the hearing goes into a closed-door meeting and the media were asked to leave the hearing.
