Group Wants Kachukwu Elevated To Substansive Minister of Petroluem

The South South Youth Assembly for Non Violence has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to consider elevating Dr. Ibe Kachukwu the current Minister of State Petroleum to a substantive minister in the ministry.

The group made the call following the assurance of Mr. President at the National Executive Council meetimng of the All Progressives Congress APC that he will consider adding more ministers to his cabinet.

The South South Youth Assembly for Non Violence through its National Coordinator Nwuke Ugochukwu (jnr) said as much as the statement of President Buhari in adding more ministers to his cabinet is apt, he should also consider elevating Kachukwu due to what the group said was his proactive service to the cabinet. The group described Ibe Kachukwu as a humble servant of this administration whose experience in the oil industry is required to move the industry forward.

''Dr. Ibe Kachukwu has done so much for the development of the Nigerian oil industry in the short space of time he has served. We strongly believe that he will do well if given a greater responsibility. We commend Mr. President's speech especially as it has to do with appointing more ministers but he should also consider making Dr. Ibe Kachukwu the substitutive minister. This action will help his administration'' the statement read

While expressing support and solidarity to President Buhari, the group urged Nigerians not to lose faith in the present administration stressing that what is needed is patience.

DEFECTIONS: Why Saraki, Dogara Others Must Heed Sen. Ibrahim's Call by Comrade Nwokoma Ndubuisi M.

The gale of defections in the National Assembly last week was followed by an advice from no one else than Sen. Abu Ibrahim that the Senate President Dr. Bukola Saraki as well as the Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara and others in the fold of the All Progressives Congress APC that are still masquerading in the party should resign their membership of the party. This call which also implies that they resign their positions as leaders of the various arms of the National Assembly is yet to be complied with by those concerned as at the time of writing this piece Whatever their reasons for still staying put in the party may be, the fact of the matter is that their continued stay in the party has become a sore which must be extricated from the body. As I watched through the proceedings of the defections on national television, I wept for the country for producing such leaders that lack morality despite all the party has given them politically which they ordin...

Rivers Governmnet, PDP Disagree Over $280 million Looan

The Rivers State Government and the Peoples Democratic Party in the state are currently at loggerheads over the request by the state Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, for a $280m loan for water and sanitation projects. While the state PDP said that the latest request for loan by the state government was unnecessary due to the resources accruing to the state through the federal allocation and internally generated revenue, the government said it was not true that the funds were to be used for 2015 elections. The state House of Assembly had on Monday endorsed Amaechi’s request for loan for water supply and sanitation projects. But the state PDP, in a statement, signed by the Special Adviser to its Chairman, Mr. Jerry Needam, said the request for loan was aimed at punishing the governor’s successor in 2015. The party called on members of the House of Assembly, the Federal Ministry of Finance, the African Development Bank and the World Bank not to honour the loan re...

2019: Northern youths kick as Northwest APC lawmakers endorse Buhari

The leadership of the Arewa Youth Forum on Monday said President Muhammadu Buhari does not deserve any endorsement for the 2019 presidency. Reacting to a purported endorsement by some serving All Progressives Congress’s lawmakers from the Northwest in Kaduna, the AYF’s National President, Alhaji Gambo Gujungu, said Buhari was not fit to return as president in 2019. The AYF argued that with the killing spree all over the country, especially in the North, Buhari should serve his mandatory four years term and quit the stage for another Northerner. Gujungu noted that one sour point about President Buhari’s 2019 ambition was his claim that the killings across the country were being carried out by “desperate politicians”, yet he had not arrested even a single suspect. The AYF president, therefore, said Nigerians should blame the president for the attacks on innocent citizens. The AYF boss who spoke to our correspondent on phone on Monday, said the President’s cl...
