WASTED GENERATION: PDP GOVERNORS DONATES N1.05 BILLION WHILE OWING WORKERS FOR MONTHS

In Nigeria, we like to show-off while we're nobody! Can you imagine that 21 Peoples Democratic Party [PDP] governors on Saturday night at the presidential villa in Abuja to announce N1.05 billion in donation to the PDP, while some states, the indebtedness to workers stretched a year.

In Ebonyi, authorities owed teachers under the Universal Basic Education scheme nearly 12 months of salaries. Abia State, secondary school teachers were last paid in August, while primary school teachers have been owed since October. In Cross River, the situation had worsened after months of indebtedness that state-run television, the Cross River Broadcasting Corporation, CRBC, shut off production last week.

 Akwa Ibom State, the nation’s leading oil producer which draws more than triple of what other states receive from the federation account monthly, local government staff were on strike. Before the strike, they were forced to receive half salaries for several months, while authorities claimed they had no money.

But on Saturday night, Cross State governor, Liyel Imoke, stood next to his Bauchi State colleague, Isa Yuguda, as Mr. Yuguda announced to a gleeful president and a shocked nation how the 21 governors who had been struggling to pay salaries long before the present oil crisis, rallied N50 million each in donation to the PDP.

“We may do more in future, but that is what we were able to raise for now,” Mr. Yuguda assured.

In all, the PDP and the president raked in over N21 billion, with donations coming from government contractors, nameless associates, and Tunde Ayeni, the head of Skye Bank, who has bought a string of government assets, including the mega telecoms carrier, NITEL/MTEL, in a process that has already become controversial. ,

COURT MARTIAL: MILITARY JAILED LT.COLONEL & OTHERS OVER 200 CHIBOK GIRLS

                                                                                                            

Nigerian Military Court Martial which sat in Kaduna state yesterday Dec. 23rd over the abduction of over 200 female students of the Government Girls Secondary School Chibok, Borno State, by Boko Haram insurgents on April 14^th have sentenced a Lieutenant Colonel, a Captain, a Second lieutenant and 12 other soldiers  to two years imprisonment

The soldiers, Col. A. O. Ojo who was in charge of Chibok when the abduction took place, Capt. O. O. Ogunrinde, and 2nd Lieutenant V.I. Godknows were all handed two years imprisonment for what the  General Court Martial panel termed failure to perform.

Col. Ojo was reportedly found guilty of passing out unverified information about the return of the abducted girls as well as not reinforcing the military personnel the night the abduction happened. In his response, Col. Ojo said he got information about the attack at about 1am at his station in Biu which was already late as the sect members stormed the school at about 11pm.

2nd Lieut. Godknows was charged with cowardly behaviour during the night of the attack. Counsel to Col. Ojo, Mr. Shuaibu Isah has however said his client would be appealing the verdict of the court martial through the office of the confirming authority which is the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Kenneth Minimah.
