THE NEW STANDARD FOR ELECTIONS AS SET BY THE SUPREME COURT OF NIGERIA:
"We are going to have primitive and barbaric electoral culture; 'kill as much as you can, destroy as much as you can, create as much catastrophe, but if you can find yourself on that seat, you are confirmed, regardless of the means by which you got there. This is a very major setback to democracy and the rule of law."
:Prof. Itse Sagay, Head, Presidential Anti-corruption Committee

STATE HOUSE PRESS RELEASE PRESIDENT BUHARI MOURNS HAJIA FATI KOKO, SAYS SHE HAD A GOOD HEART
PRESIDENT BUHARI MOURNS HAJIA FATI KOKO, SAYS SHE HAD A GOOD HEART
President Muhammadu Buhari has extolled the virtues of Hajiya Fati Koko, popularly called Maitalla Tara, who has passed away, aged 95.
Mourning Hajiya Koko, who had waited nine hours in Kebbi early last year, to donate the sum of N1 million (One million Naira) to him as the then presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), President Buhari described her as "a woman with a good heart, who stood by her convictions, and gave sacrificially."
Hajiya Koko had offered virtually her life's savings to candidate Buhari then, saying she admired his honesty, discipline, and stand for truth.
Receiving the news of her passage, President Buhari commended Hayiya Koko's conviction and sacrificial giving, urging Nigerians to learn vital lessons from her life.
"She gave practically all she had towards our campaign. Though well advanced in age, she still believed a new Nigeria was possible, and followed her conviction with action. What generosity of spirit and what tenacious faith in her motherland. Nigerians, old and young, have a lot to learn from her," the President said.
President Buhari condoled with the family and relations of the departed, urging them to take solace in the fact that their matriarch lived to a ripe old age, "and she saw the beginning of the change she had long yearned for. The onus is now on all of us to ensure that the change gets entrenched and solidified for even generations yet unborn to benefit from."
The President also sympathized with the governor and people of Kebbi State, whom he said will all miss the sterling qualities of Hajiya Koko, but added that the life of the departed will serve as a standard to emulate "in the service of God, humanity and country."
"May Allah grant her soul repose in Al-jannah," the President prayed.

People are now telling their story, correcting the lies which was used in building the contraption called Nigeria just read below and educate yourself.
"We are not in Yorubaland. To be frank,
it is because many of them are not
willing to come up with the truth, the
word Oba is alien to Yoruba monarchy;
it is not part of their title from time
immemorial.
"For instance, the one they call the Oba
of Lagos, these are recent adaptations. In
the 50s, there was no Oba of Lagos, what
we had was the Eleko of Eko. That is the
title of the King there. In Ibadan, you
have the Olu Ibadan. You come to
Abeokuta, you have the Alake of Egba
land. You come to Oyo, you have the
Alaafin of Oyo. In Ilesha, you have the
Owa-Obokun of IIesha. So no Yoruba
monarch had as part of his titles the
word Oba except the Oba of Benin.
"That word Oba is indigenous to Benin.
It is only in recent times you find
everybody bearing Oba. When the
Western Regional conference of
traditional rulers took place in Benin
City in 1942, go and check the
attendance, there was no other monarch
in the whole of the Western Region then
that bore the title of Oba, except the Oba
of Benin.
"So it is an unnecessary excursion, an
unnecessary attempt to turn history
upside down by the Alake by classifying
the Oba of Benin as third in the
hierarchy of kings. "Our own traditional
history says that the Ooni of Ife was a
Benin Prince who wandered from here
to Ife, settled there and became the ruler
there. That is the position, if they don't
know, they should send people here; we
will teach them.
"We will show them landmarks. So this
is unnecessary misrepresentation of
history. Maybe the Alake wanted to
mention a different place and not Benin.
"The monarchical rulership in this part
of the world started from Benin during
the era of the Ogisos. It was the son of
the last Ogiso, Owodo, that wandered
from here to Ife and he became a ruler
there, carrying everything about the
Benin monarchical system to that place.
There is no basis for such classification.
"The Ooni of Ife by historical facts, is a
son of the Oba of Benin, so they are not
in the same class.

Rtd Air Chief, Amosu Buried $1m Loot In Soak Away Pit, N3bn Traced To Wife’s Accounts
$1 million recovered in soak away, N3bn traced to wife's accounts
A retired army chief, Chief of Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Adesola Amosu (rtd), have been discovered to hide his loot in the soak away pit in his house.
Investigations by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) also revealed that his wife, Mrs. Lara Amosu was picked up by the EFCC operatives last week in Abuja.
According to New Telegraph, Mrs. Amosu's arrest followed the alleged discovery of about N3 billion in her bank accounts. She was allegedly holding the money in trust for her husband.
Other properties traced to the former CAS were also being held in the names of his wife and children.
Mrs Amosun has been in the custody of the EFCC in Lagos for the past one week. It was learnt that her lawyer has been battling without success to get her released.
Amosu was arrested two weeks ago by the EFCC over his involvement in the arms scandal. Shortly after Amosu was picked up in Abuja, his wife, Lara, was subsequently arrested.
Investigations conducted showed that some of the monies the former Chief of Air Staff made through some contracts and procurements in NAF were traced to his wife's accounts.
A source familiar with the investigation told New Telegraph that N13 billion was traced to the bank accounts of a wife of a retired Air Vice Marshal, who held strategic position in the Nigeria Air Force (NAF).
In the bank accounts of another wife of a serving senior officer, N1.5 billion was found. New Telegraph learnt that the officers handled the finance, budget and accounts of NAF.
"About N3 billion was traced to the wife's accounts while some assets acquired by the former service chief were in her name and some others in her company's name.
"So, Lara is an accessory to a crime. The proceeds with her are from the arms funds. As we prosecute her husband, she must also be held accountable," a source told New Telegraph.
New Telegraph had reported that the EFCC discovered N17.5 billion in the accounts of wives of three Airforce chiefs. The monies were scattered in various banks accounts.
It was further learnt that the wife of Air Vice Marshal J.B. Adigun, Chief of Account and Budget of NAF, has travelled out of the country two weeks ago, shortly after the arrest of her husband. The hurried trip was said to have become necessary in the face of the arms probe.
Adigun has been indicted by the presidential arms panel. He is in the EFCC custody. Several of his properties in Lagos and Abuja have been seized by the anti-graft agency. Billions of naira was said to have been traced to Adigun's wife's accounts.
New Telegraph has also learnt that the EFCC retrieved $1 million cash in Amosu's residence in his residence in Badagary, Lagos. A source told New Telegraph that the money, in foreign currency, was retrieved when EFCC operatives carried out a search on Amosu's residence in Badagry.
According to the source: "In continuation of the investigation into the arms probe, the EFCC operatives took Amosu to his residence in Badagry. After a thorough search of the residence, a fresh small 'soakaway' pit was discovered in the compound. The operatives suspected foul play, which led the breaking of the 'soakaway'. Surprisingly, $1 million was found in it. The money was subsequently confiscated."
New Telegraph also learnt that Air Commodore Akinwale (rtd) who manages the St. Solomon Health Care Limited, an ultra-modern diagnostic centre owned by Amosu, along Adeniyi Jones Avenue in Ikeja, Lagos is still in the custody of the EFCC. The retired Airforce officer oversees the medical centre on behalf of Amosu.
The diagnostic centre has been sealed off by the anti-graft agency. Meanwhile, the EFCC is still keeping Amosu, Adigun, and Air Commodore O. Gbadebo in Lagos.
A source said that the anti-graft agency has been taking the indicted officers to assets traced to them, considered to have been acquired through funds illegally realised from the arms procurement. Some of the identified properties have been sealed off.
Amosu, Adigun and Gbadebo were arrested two weeks ago in Abuja. Impeccable sources told New Telegraph that the trio were flown into Lagos in an Airforce aircraft on a Sunday and discreetly kept in a hotel.
The arrest and interrogation of Amosu is coming after New Telegraph had exclusively reported in the November 30, 2015 edition, that the Federal Government had directed the EFCC to prosecute the ex-CAS.
Amosu, Adigun, Gbadebo and other indicted officers are being investigated over 10 NAF contracts totalling $930,500,690 awarded to Societe D' Equipments Internationaux (SEI) Nig Ltd. between January 2014 and February 2015.
The award letters, according to the arms probe panel, contained misleading delivery dates, suggesting fraudulent intent in the award process.
Operatives are also grilling the ex-chief of army staff and the two senior officers over the procurement of two used Mi-24V Helicopters instead of the recommended Mi- 35M series at the cost of $136,944,000. The helicopters were discovered to be excessively priced and not operationally airworthy at the time of delivery.
The arms probe panel established that a brand new unit of Mi-24V Helicopter goes for about $30 million. The helicopters were delivered without rotor blades and upgrade accessories.
The three of them are also being grilled over the procurement of four used Alpha-Jets for the NAF at the cost of $7,180,000. Whereas NAF paid for four used Alpha-Jets, the panel confirmed that only two of the Alpha-Jet aircraft were ferried to Nigeria after cannibalisation of engines from the NAF fleet.
They are also being investigated in the procurement of 36D6 Low Level Air Defence Radar for NAF, which was awarded to GAT Techno Dynamics Ltd in April 2014 at the cost of $33 million under his watch.
The arms panel averred that the radars were excessively priced as a complete set of such radars goes for $6 million.
Acting on the recommendations made by the 13-man presidential committee auditing arms procurement between 2007 and 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari, had ordered the EFCC to conduct further investigation on the indictment of Amosu, former Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh (rtd); Air Marshal M.D. Umar (Rtd), Maj- Gen. ER Chioba (Rtd), AVM I.A. Balogun (Rtd), AVM A.G. Tsakr (Rtd), AVM A.G. Idowu (Rtd), AVM AM Mamu, AVM O.T Oguntoyinbo, and AVM T Omenyi. Others were: AVM J.B. Adigun, AVM R.A. Ojuawo, AVM JA Kayode-Beckley, Air Cdre S.A. Yushau (Rtd), Air Cdre A.O. Ogunjobi, Air Cdre G.M.D. Gwani, Air Cdre SO Makinde, Air Cdre A.Y. Lassa, Col. N. Ashinze and Lt Col. M.S. Dasuki (Rtd). Badeh had been in the custody of EFCC since Monday. Over N29 billion and $2 billion had been expended on the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) procurement activities alone between 2007 and 2015.
Similarly, the Nigerian Army has announced that it has sent names of 12 top officers to EFCC for investigation and possible prosecution.
They comprise of "3 serving Major Generals, and one retired, 3 Brigadier Generals, 4 Colonels and 1 Lieutenant Colonel," Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, said. He disclosed in a statement that "at the end of the Commission's investigations those found culpable will be tried by a Military Court Martial."
Col. Usman did not disclose the names of those involved.
