The Keke driver and another victim, it was learnt, are receiving treatment at the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa.

The ease with which this monster makes his audacious pronouncements is horrific and alarming that such rag tag army have held the people of Nigeria for so long to ransom. The Chairman of the forum and Governor of Niger, Dr Babangida Aliyu, spoke to the U.S. officials that the April 14 abduction happened in a part of the country “where up till today we still beg parents to bring their children to school.

“The onshore/offshore oil dichotomy issue has been constitutionally resolved by the 1994/95 Constitution. OMPADEC has been retained and is expected to be community based for effective participation of the affected communities. Besides, the revenue sharing formula, which I helped to fashion out, at the national Conference, though not meeting our target of 30 per cent derivation, promises to place more money at the disposal of the state administrators.” And for a while it seemed as if Attah was on sure grounds.

How could this happen in a state under emergency rule? Terrorists had four hours operation and carted away the girls without help from anybody after which they journeyed into the forest. Remember the principal was said to be there; and the next minute, they said she was at her daughter’s place. There is discrepancy about the number of the kidnapped students. At times you wonder if we have leaders.

Chief Olabode Ibiyinka George, a former National Vice-Chairman of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), South-West, is a member of the Committee on Politics and Governance at the ongoing National Conference in Abuja. In this interview, he speaks on why the conference committee is disposed to stripping the president and governors of immunity from prosecution while in office

Governor Babatunde Fashola has charged Lagos State residents to resolve not to be voluntary purveyors of messages of fear that can cause panic

This was to be the fourth meeting between the man Goodluck Ebele Jonathan and this writer.
However, last Sunday’s meeting with the man who is now President brought home some truth. From the preparation for the live broadcast of the PRESIDENTIAL MEDIA CHAT, to the post-event dinner at the President’s residence, one point remained very critical: Nigeria’s President needs help.

Osun PDP is a poisoned cup of tea. That leadership is notorious. If the Vanguard cares, we suggest it does a comprehensive investigation of the antecedents of that leadership which has been absolutely rejected by the original stakeholders of the PDP in Osun.

He is the face of terror. A ruthless leader with a twisted ideology. And the sadistic architect of a campaign of mayhem and misery

From my experience and from what I know of the APC, they always accuse the opposition party of planning to do what they (APC) want to do. That is how they have been, that is their strategy. So, if the APC in Osun says that we want to cause mayhem, that is what they want to do.

He ventures into the forest looking for his daughters, armed with bow and arrow in case the terrorists surprise him. The odds are stacked against him. No one has found the 276 girls abducted from their school last month by the terror group Boko Haram.
