APC Accuses Jonathan's Administration Of Hindering Smooth Transition Of Power
We are sick and tired of being blackmailed by the Jonathanians. Gen. Buhari won the 28 March Presidential Elections fair and square, having satisfied both constitutional and other statutory requirements. We have no apology for our victory, and the concession of defeat – while it may have increased the political stock of President Jonathan – has by no means diminished the historic and emphatic victory of Gen. Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress,”The party said while the outgoing government had earlier issued a memo to all ministries, departments and agencies to make sure their handover notes are ready by April 20th, the same government has now reversed itself and said the handover notes will not be ready until May 14th.
"With the new date, the Buhari Transition Committee will have little or no time to take a thorough look at the handover notes or seek clarification on knotty issues, effectively handing it (Buhari Transition Committee) a fait accompli as far as the handover notes are concerned. This does not augur well for a smooth transition and gives the impression that the outgoing Administration is trying to hide something.
"By its dillydallying on the date for the readiness of the handover notes from the MDAs, the administration’s posturing that it is ready to hand over has been exposed as nothing but a smokescreen,”.
"In case the Federal Executive Council has forgotten, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress was declared the winner of the March 28th Presidential Election by INEC. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari is therefore today the President-elect and the All Progressives Congress
the incoming government. It is therefore illogical to accuse the President-elect and the incoming government of setting up a parallel government.
"It is either the outgoing Federal Executive Council has something to hide or is bent on sabotaging the incoming government. There can be no other reasons for the misplaced aggression that was exhibited in that ill-intentioned, unprovoked and vitriolic statement from the Jonathan government,”
Are they now saying that because the President conceded defeat, the incoming administration can no longer ask legitimate questions or seek clarifications that may arise from the handover notes.
"We will not surrender to any blackmail, subtle or otherwise. We shall ask questions and ask for explanations and clarifications whenever and wherever we deem such necessary. We cannot run a transparently honest government or fight corruption if we are prevented from asking legitimate questions and seeking clarifications from the outgoing government during the transition process. Let the Jonathan Administration not tie our hands behind our back just because he conceded defeat after losing an election,”
Borno Elders Tell Nigerian Military, Show Us Evidence Of The 293 Girls Rescued
“If the soldiers have indeed rescued 200 girls and 93 women then they should show them. When [Abubakar] Shekau kidnapped the Chibok girls he released video footage for everyone to see — this is the age of modern technology. Whether these are the same girls or not, people will be skeptical until they see their pictures on the news.”

Nigeria Demands N84m Damages From South Africa
Mr. Wali stated this while briefing the Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs on his visit to South Africa.
Mr. Wali mentioned the attacks were instigated by some chiefs to kill Nigerians in their country. He, however, noted that the South African government was not in support of the killings.Giving a rundown of damages done by Nigerians, Mr. Wali said:
“Total of Nigerians wounded or hospitalized is two, shops looted and damaged five, number of displaced Nigerian men is two, number of displaced women six, and number of displaced children eight.
“In terms of these attacks, our situation is minimal and luckily there are no fatalities and there is no serious injury.
“The assessment in terms of the compensation that we intend to now demand from South Africa when we have our next bi-national commission meeting in Abuja is N84 million.”Mr. Wali also said Nigerians should be ready for evacuation in case the problem intensifies. He said Nigeria should try to rub minds and assist the South African government to overcome this crisis.
“Recalling an envoy is a very serious matter and there are steps that would be taken,” he said. “What happened in South Africa will not ordinarily warrant the recall of an envoy particularly when Nigerians are still there.
“You need the full complement of the Nigerian mission there to be able to handle the situation.”He said an investigation was ongoing on the alleged instructions from King of the Zulus, Goodwill Zwelithini, that South Africans should get rid of fellow Africans stealing their jobs.
The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Musiliu Obanikoro, said the South African government had stated that unemployment played a major role in the attacks.
He also said the Zulu king had publicly condemned the crisis and, being a king, showed a sign of true repentance.

Baby Sold By His Own Mother Rescued In Abuja
It was learnt that the mother initially denied knowledge of the crime as the police intensified efforts to unravel the whereabouts of the baby. He stated that when the police apprehended the doctor, he tried to frustrate police investigation into the matter.
He added that the police had to tell the doctor that they would charge him to court for child kidnapping if he failed to produce the missing child. The CP said,
“The police in Akwa Ibom State have rescued a baby boy, David Johnny, who was stolen when he was three-day-old and handed over to a doctor in Port Harcourt. The baby was subsequently taken to Abuja. When we found the doctor, he refused to cooperate as he tried to frustrate the efforts of the police in investigating the case of the stolen boy.
According to him it was the phone call the woman, who had bought the child, made to the doctor who was in the police custody in Uyo that enabled them to trace the baby to the hospital.
“My officers in the trafficking department moved from Uyo to Port Harcourt, Umuahia, and Aba in search of the stolen child.
“It was not until Wednesday, April 22, when the pressure became so much, that the woman who had bought the child, took the child back to the clinic in Port Harcourt, where she bought him, and abandoned him there,” he said.
“The biological mother sold the child through the doctor to the woman for N300,000.”Esther, 18, said David was her third baby and she could not take care of all of her children. She said she was given N150,000 from the proceeds from the sale of her baby.

Buhari: Boko Haram Is A Fraud
“The fraud called Boko Haram can be defeated by denying it a recruitment base,” General Buhari told visiting leaders of Nassarawa State who came to congratulate him on his emergence as President-elect.
No religion allows for the killing of children in school dormitory, in markets and places of worship.
They have nothing to do with religion. They are terrorists and we are going to deal with them as they deal with terrorists anywhere,” he announced.
Buhari said he is greatly pained by the destruction of schools in the North-eastern part of the country, an action he said could deny thousands of youngsters access to education and a better future unless something was done urgently to avert this tragedy.
“The worst thing anybody can do is to deny children access to education. That will be destructive to their lives and we are not going to allow that to happen,” the President-elect assured.
He announce that his government will help the states to get more money to improve infrastructure by ensuring that all federally collectible revenues are paid directly into the federation account and each tier of government given its due share.
“As at now, the government does not even know how many revenue accounts it has.
We will give all the tiers what is due to them but will hold them to be accountable as we would the federal government.”
Buhari while describing Nassarawa state as his own “political laboratory”, meaning the only CPC-controlled state of the 36 others adjudged the experiment as having been a success.
“From one state, I now have 22 political laboratories.”
He commended Governor Al-Makura for surviving his many impeachment plots, saying “without Nassarawa, there would not have been an APC.”
Buhari Bars AIT From Covering His Activities
According to reports from the Cable, security operatives at the Defence House, Abuja, where Buhari is currently resident, on Monday asked the AIT crew steer clear of the building.
The President-elect received the Cuban and Switzerland ambassadors as well as other guests.
Responding to the action of the security operatives, Mr. Garba
Shehu, spokesman of the Buhari Campaign Organisation, said:
“AIT has been asked to step aside based on security and family concerns. “In addition, Buhari has decided that they will have to resolve some issues relating to issues of standard and ethics.
“We will be talking with them to try and resolve the matter, but for now the station has been asked to stay aside because, like I said, there are some family and security concerns. They have been asked to step down their coverage until we resolve the matter with them on ethics and standards.
“You can quote me that I said that we have asked them to step aside and that we are resolving the the issues of ethics and standards with them.”

Haunting! Indonesia Lays Out Coffins Of Death Row Drug Peddlers Including 4 Nigerians
The date - April 29 - became official when a local funeral director in Cilacap, the nearest port to Nusakambangan, or Death Island, was instructed to inscribe the names of those to be shot by firing squad and the date of their deaths.
Australians, Chan and Sukumaran both refused to sign their execution warrants when they were given 72 hours notice of their deaths during official proceedings on Saturday, saying they believed it would be unjust to kill them.
'I have helped other inmates as much as I can and I still do and that’s not me talking, you will hear that from a lot of people, the ones I have helped,' Chan said.The pair were also asked to outline their last requests, with Chan asking for extra time in church to pray with his family and Sukumaran asking to be able to paint as much as possible before his death.
On Saturday, the Bali Nine duo and other death row inmates were given 72 hours notice ahead of their deaths.
