well everybody has a dream but not all dream comes through. I would say I like his courage for saying it out most people wants the sit of power as well but can't spill it out.
What we should rather as oga Dino instead of us accusing, abusing him unnecessarily is that DID HE HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA?

it would be more lovely if you can put pix

What should have been the priorities of this government is how to wake back this our declining economy. if the economy is on an ascending state no bank will sack workers but rather employ more as well as other organizations.

Leading a complex country like Nigeria is not an easy task You have to be up and down both in physical, mind, spiritual e. t. c
I pray for their quick recoveries and May the almighty bless them with infinite wisdom to lead Nigeria to a greater height.

The Chairman of the 2016 Peoples Democratic
Party National Convention Planning Committee
and Rivers State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike,
said on Saturday that the party allowed former
Acting National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu
Sheriff, to go because his (Sheriff) leadership
was destabilising the party.
Wike, who spoke after the national convention in
Port Harcourt, explained that all along, the crisis
in the PDP had been about the emergence of
Sheriff as the acting leader of the party.
The governor, who recalled that Sheriff’s
emergence as the PDP acting chairman was
strongly opposed, stated that the party was more
important than any individual.
He said, “All along, the crisis has been about the
former acting chairman whose emergence was
strongly opposed.
“This is destabilising the party and so, we had to
let him go. What is important is the party and not
the individual. No sacrifice is too much for
anyone to make as far as PDP is concerned.”
Wike pointed out that he had no personal interest
in ing Senator Modu Sheriff as he was the
best option at the time he (Sheriff) emerged.
He said that PDP would continue to grow from
strength to strength as it remained the only hope
for the country.
According to him, “We will not allow the PDP to
die or suffer division under our watch. History will
never forgive us if we watch the party die.”
The governor said the party leaders would work
towards maintaining unity among all of
the party.
He said despite the challenges, the 2016 National
Convention was successful as the party had been
repositioned in the interest of the nation.

The increment in the pump price of petrol from
N86.50k to N145 by the Federal Government will
make of the two chambers of the
National Assembly, to accelerate the process of
the age of the Petroleum Industry Bill,
intended to ensure efficiency and sanity in the
sector.
A cross section of senators who stated this in
telephone conversations with our correspondent
in Abuja on Saturday, on and off the record,
expressed confidence that since the issue was
the most important in the country at the moment,
the federal lawmakers would take the PIB issue
with all the seriousness it deserves.
The Senate had on Wednesday, April 13, started
legislative procedure for the age of the
controversial bill as the document scaled first
reading on the floor of the upper chamber.
The bill has been renamed Petroleum Industry
and Governance Bill after both chambers of the
National Assembly, had harmonised it.
The development marked the third time that the
document would first reading in the Senate.
However, an attempt to begin formal debate on
the bill in the Senate, failed on Tuesday, April 26,
following strong opposition mounted by senators
mostly from the Southern part of the country.
The senators kicked against the second reading
of the PIB, on grounds that the usual procedure
where copies of bills meant to be presented for
debate on the floor, were always circulated to
ahead of time, was not followed.
Senator Godswill Akpabio had requested that the
copies of the bill be circulated to all to
study ahead of the formal debate so that they
could study and make useful contributions.
The senators also rejected the suggestion of the
Senate President, Bukola Saraki, who presided
over the day’s plenary, that the debate be stood
down till the following day, hence deliberations on
it had been postponed indefinitely.
But the Chairman, Senate Committee on
Petroleum Resources ( Upstream) Senator Tayo
Alasoadura, who would lead the debate on the
bill, told our correspondent that the bill would
enjoy accelerate consideration now that
everyone in Nigeria was expecting the desired
sanity and efficiency in the oil and gas sector.
Also, the Senator representing Oyo South,
Adesoji Akanbi, on Saturday expressed
confidence that the age of the PIB will
address the current challenges in the sector.
Akanbi, also criticised his fellow lawmakers who
are ing the current industrial action
embarked upon by the Nigeria Labour Congress
to protest the hike in fuel price.
He said the senators were supposed to educate
Nigerians that there was no provision for fuel
subsidy in the 2016 budget.

this is not the type of opposition we want we want a United party that will always check mate the activities of the party in power, criticize positively and suggests solutions not a divided party

Former Peoples Democratic Party governors and
ex-ministers on Friday rejected an aircraft sent to
them by the embattled National Chairman of the
party, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff, to convey them
from Abuja to Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
One of our correspondents gathered that the
plane was sent to the former governors and other
anti-Sheriff with the aim of truncating the parallel
national convention they planned for Abuja today.
The aggrieved , under the name of
Concerned PDP Stakeholders, are holding their
convention today at Area 11, Abuja, the same day
that the Sheriff group is holding its own.
It was learnt that of the Sheriff group,
who had waved aside the former governors as
inconsequential, became worried when they got
to know the amount of energy and work being
put in place to conduct the Abuja convention.
A serving governor, who was in Port Harcourt
for the convention, told one of our correspondent
on condition of anonymity, that an aircraft was
sent to Abuja on Friday evening to convey the
former governors and ministers to Rivers State.
He said that the aircraft was delayed for more
than three hours with none of the former
governors and ministers turning up at the airport.
He said, “We have been talking, in fact we told
them that we were ready to abandon Sheriff and
that they should come to Port Harcourt for final
discussion.
“We sent an aircraft to them, hoping that they
would board and come here for final discussion.
We were ready to share offices with them. But
they refused to turn up.”
But a former minister in the Prof. Jerry Gana led
group, which is holding its national convention in
Abuja, said that the group did not trust the
governors.
“We didn’t board their aircraft because we didn’t
trust them. They ignored us, they said we didn’t
have money to run the party and now they were
sending aircraft to us at the last minute. We
don’t need it,” he added.
Our correspondent gathered that the governors of
the party were troubled and were almost dropping
Sheriff, but for the intervention of Governors
Nyesom Wike and Ayo Fayose of Rivers and Ekiti
states respectfully, who advised their colleagues
against taking such decision.
It was gathered that the tenure of Sheriff may be
extended at the Port Harcourt convention.
This is as a result of the ruling of a Lagos court,
stopping the party from conducting election into
the offices of the party’s national chairman,
national auditor and national secretary.
Meanwhile, the Rivers State Governor, Chief
Nyesom Wike, on Friday insisted that the Port
Harcourt convention would hold regardless of any
court injunction stopping the exercise.
Wike, who spoke with journalists at the
Government House in Port Harcourt, stated that
the PDP had filed a motion for a stay of
execution of a court order the stopping the
convention.
Wike, who is Chairman of the Port Harcourt PDP
Convention Planning Committee, addressed
journalists in company with Governor Emmanuel
Udom of Akwa Ibom State, his counterpart from
Abia State, Chief Okezie Ikpeazu, Dave Umahi of
Ebonyi State and the Senate Minority Leader,
Chief Godswill Akpabio.
He said the PDP’s decision to go ahead with the
convention would not amount to disobedience of
any court order.
Wike said, “Just to let you know that the PDP
convention, as scheduled by National Executive
Council, which is the highest decision-making
organ of PDP, will be taking place in Port
Harcourt tomorrow (Saturday), May 21, 2016.

Op well done.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Monday presided over some meetings as part of efforts aimed at tackling the menace of militants who have been vandalising oil and gas pipelines in the Niger Delta.
Osinbajo first met behind closed doors with some top security chiefs and government officials over the matter.
Chevron’s Okan offshore production platform around Escravos in Warri, Delta State was last week blown up, a development that led to the shutdown of the facility by the oil major.
On Thursday night, a pipeline transporting crude oil to the Warri and Kaduna and a 16-inch gas line owned by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation were also blown up.
A group known as Niger Delta Avengers has claimed responsibility for the explosions.
Monday’s meetings presided over by Osinbajo were held in the conference room of his office inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The first of the meetings was also attended by the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Ibe Kachikwu, as well as the Navy and Army chiefs.
Osinbajo also had a separate meeting with the Bayelsa State Governor, Mr. Seriake Dickson; and the Amayanabo of Toun Brass, Bayelsa State, King Alfred Diete-Spiff, on the same matter.
Dickson and Diete-Spiff arrived the vice president’s office at about 6pm while the first meeting was still ongoing and waited to meet with Osinbajo.
The vice president again returned to the conference room for another round of meeting with representatives of major oil companies in the country.
Those who attended included the representatives of Shell, Agip, Total, Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas and Chevron, among others. Dickson and Diete-Spiff also ed the meeting.
The last meeting, which started at about 7:45pm, was still ongoing as of the time of filing this report at 8pm.
Following the spate of attacks on oil and gas assets, Nigeria’s output of crude oil has declined and is now close to a 22-year low, Reuters data shows, putting intense pressure on the country’s finances.
Shell’s Forcados field is still closed and under force majeure following a February subsea pipeline attack, taking out 250,000 barrels per day.
The violence has depressed production in the country to roughly 1.69 million bpd in May, the lowest since at least June 2007, when production fell to 1.68 million bpd, International Energy Agency data shows.
A small reduction from any field would quickly send output to the next low, seen in August 1994, when it hit 1.46 million bpd, according to the IEA data.
“It’s really not a good situation,” said Eugene Lindell, senior energy analyst with JBC Energy in Vienna, noting that the global excess of crude was keeping Brent prices from moving significantly higher on the back of the outages. “They have less production, and they’re getting less bang for their buck.”
Analysts said the violence could scare investment away from the country.
“If it continues like this… there are companies who will probably not consider Nigeria” for upstream investments, Lindell said.
The country’s 2016 budget, signed into law just last week, assumes 2.2 million bpd of oil production at $38 a barrel. In a country analysis released late last week, the US Energy Information istration noted that pipeline sabotage and oil supply disruptions had increased in 2016, putting direct pressure on the country’s finances.
“Because Nigeria heavily depends on oil revenue, its economy is noticeably affected by changes to its oil production and/or to global crude oil prices,” the report said.
Strong indications emerged on Monday that the attack on the Trans Forcados pipeline in Burutu Local Government Area of Delta State had reduced the production of the Nigeria Petroleum Development Company from 250,000 barrels per day to almost 115,000 bpd.
It was gathered that the NPDC, which is the crude oil production arm of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, had been forced to stop operation in the area because of the damage to the 48-inch pipeline being operated by the Shell Petroleum Development Company.
It was gathered that the total production of crude oil by the state-owned NPDC dropped from 250,000 bpd to 115,000 bpd on Monday, because of the February attack on the major pipeline.
The NNPC’s latest financial report had stated that vandalism of the Forcados Export Pipeline resulted in crude oil loss worth about N20bn between the months of February and March.
It was learnt that efforts were being made to repair the pipeline when the militants under the aegis of the Niger Delta Avengers again attacked the Chevron Okan platform at Abiteye and the NNPC pipeline transporting crude oil and gas to the Warri and Kaduna refineries.
The source said that there were serious doubts about the repair of the damaged pipeline as the two recent attacks, which took place in Escravos, were in the same place as the Forcados pipeline.
The source said, “There are concerns over the repair of the pipeline. The repair efforts have not been completed. And you know that that these recent attacks took place in the same area. This is quite unfortunate.
“It is affecting everybody. The Forcados attack has reduced NPDC’s operation by more than half. The company was doing over 250,000 barrel per day but that has been reduced to 115,000 barrels now. This means that the 135,000 barrels from the Forcados are not coming now.
“Another thing is that the other pipeline taking crude oil to the Warri and Kaduna refineries is also a gas pipeline.
It was also gathered that the loss may have eroded the gains Nigeria would have derived from the recent rise in oil price.
The attacks on the oil and gas facilities have worsened the blackout being experienced in many parts of the county as four power plants became idle on Sunday, bringing the total number of plants not generating any megawatts of electricity to 12.
There was significant reduction in generation from virtually all the plants producing electricity, including Egbin in Lagos State and Alaoji in Abia State.
Meanwhile, International Oil Companies operating in the country have been jolted by the latest attacks on oil and gas facilities in the Niger Delta, which have seen Chevron shut down one of its major offshore production platforms in the country, the Okan platform.
Chevron said the damage to the Okan platform had affected about 35,000 barrels per day of its own net crude production, or about 15 per cent of its output in the country.
Onshore oil assets in Nigeria have been attacked for years, forcing IOCs to reduce their land-bound operations in the area in favour of more-secure offshore projects. But the latest attack shows that offshore facilities are also vulnerable.
Shell workers at the Bonga oil field in the Niger Delta on Monday were evacuated following a militant threat, Reuters reported.
“We are aware of the development and the evacuation is being done in categories of workers and cadres. My are yet to be evacuated,” the Chairman of the Warri branch of the Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, Cogent Ojobor, was quoted to have said.
Shell had earlier said that oil output was continuing at its fields in Nigeria despite reports of a militant attack near its Bonga facilities.
When ed for comment, the Media Relations Manager, SPDC, Mr. Precious Okolobo, said, “We continue to monitor the security situation in our operating areas in the Niger Delta and are taking all possible steps to ensure the safety of staff and contractors. We do not wish to go into details. Our operations are continuing.”

What started like mere speculations over a deputy’s governorship ambition against his principal’s has allegedly metamorphosed into an infighting of some sort between Edo State Governor Adams Oshiomhole and his deputy, Dr. Pius Odubu.
Recent happenings have also exposed the alleged acrimony between the two political leaders.
There were allegations that Odubu, who has been largely described as a loyal subordinate to Oshiomhole, found himself pencilled in the black book of the governor for his insistence to contest the September 10 governorship election, under the ruling All Progressives Congress in spite of several calls from his principal to shelve the aspiration for the Chairman of the Edo State Economic Team, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, generally seen as the “heir apparent”.
Other people who have signalled their interest in the top seat under the APC are a former governor, Prof. Oserhiemen Osunbor; the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 2012 governorship poll, Gen. Charles Airhiavbere; a former Minister of Works, Mr. Chris Ogiemwonyi; and a former National President of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Senior Staff Association of Nigeria, Mr. Peter Esele. Others are, Mr. Kenneth Imasuagbon and a female aspirant, Mrs. Tina Agbarha.
The Commissioner of Works, Mr. Osarodion Ogie, had been seen as the toast of Oshiomhole before attention shifted to Obaseki.
But Odubu, a former member of the House of Representatives, it was learnt, had built his ambition over the years. He also had his loyalists within the state executive council and across the 18 local government areas of the state.
He is also said to enjoy the backing of a strong royal father and a large segment within the APC, including a former top member of the House of Representatives and two erstwhile commissioners.
However, according to political analysts, Oshiomhole, sensing his deputy governor’s apparent refusal to lie low and the implication of this moved against him (Obudu) by first chopping down his followership within the cabinet through a reshuffle in 2015.
Also, there were purported plots to impeach the deputy governor, as a way to politically disarm him. There was also a petition against Odubu at the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission allegedly written by the state’s Commissioner for Water and Energy, Mr. Washington Osifo.
But Osifo, who later denied the allegation at a press briefing, described it as not only “embarrassing” but also “dehumanising”.
Osifo said, “Sometime in March, I heard that the deputy governor accused me of writing a petition against him. I asked him but he said he never believed that. But I was shocked to hear that during a peace meeting recently the deputy governor reiterated that allegation.
“And I read his denial as regards using native doctors to kill the governor but the issue of the EFCC, where I was accused, was not denied. I am embarrassed and traumatised by the statement credited to the deputy governor against my person because it never happened.”
According to political watchers, the last straw that broke the camel’s back was, perhaps, the allegation of an assassination plot against the governor. This has become the most recent source of controversy surrounding the relationship between the first two citizens of the state.
It was learnt that a peace meeting organised by some party leaders degenerated into an outburst of claims and counterclaims. Oshiomhole had allegedly attributed his absence at an event organised by Odubu to the unravelling of an alleged plot to poison him with the help of a native doctor, a claim the deputy governor dismissed as false.
Odubu also vowed to continue to disappoint those drumming up an avoidable war between him and the governor. In a statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Kelly Odaro, recently Odubu noted that he was not oblivious of the handiwork of blackmailers bent on using the governorship election to tarnish his image and nearly eight-year partnership with the governor.
The statement read,” As a practising Catholic, Dr. Odubu will not do anything that is unbecoming of a true Christian in the name of politics. God knows that he has never had any pact with any witch/native doctor to kill anyone or avenge for him and he will never condescend to that extent as long as God lives. It is against his faith.”
On his own part, Odubu had also raised the alarm over alleged plots by some persons to distribute fliers round the state capital to further destroy his image and fuel crisis between him and Oshiomhole. While maintaining that he had no disagreement with the governor, he noted that he would be vindicated by God.
The statement added, “The deputy governor will by the special grace of God, continue to disappoint the dubious expectations of those who are bent on driving a wedge between him and the governor. It is his nature and character to be loyal to those who God has set over him because they are His instruments.
“At times like this, blackmailers are at their best but the deputy governor has decided to take solace in God, who knows the hearts of men, trusting and believing as always that God will vindicate the just. He wishes to reiterate that he has no rift with the governor, who he reveres and deeply appreciates.”
Besides his unwillingness to step down for the governor’s preferred aspirant, Odubu had been criticised for being ambitious having held political offices for the past 16 years.
But the deputy governor did not mince words at his formal declaration on April 27 when he maintained that dropping his governorship ambition was not an option for him.
He said, “Yes, I have been around the political arena for a while, serving the people in different capacities, through the legislative and executive arms of government. I dare say that anybody that would say because of this, I should not be voted for, belongs to the genre or class of politicians who believe in the politics of ‘chop I chop’. I am in politics to serve the people.”
However, it was gathered that the discordant tunes emerging from camps of the two leaders had constituted a Herculean task for the ruling APC, ahead of its primary scheduled to hold between June 2 and July 4.
Keen observers believe that if the two leaders do not reconcile their differences the situation may create factions within the party and provide loopholes for the PDP to capitalise on.
Already, the major opposition party has congratulated the deputy governor for officially declaring his interest in the race, against what it described as the “dictatorial tendencies of the APC leadership in Edo State.
“His declaration has definitely opened up the political space in Edo State. He has refused to be cowed, blackmailed and intimidated by dictatorial tendencies of the APC leadership in Edo State.
“We in Edo PDP look forward to a robust political process, which will include issue based debates as well as a keenly contested election,” the State Publicity Secretary, Mr. Chris Nehikhare, said in a statement last Wednesday.
Although the national leadership of the APC not to issued any official statement on the matter, the state chapter of the party said that it did not see the different interests of the governor and his deputy as a reflection of a strained relationship.
The APC Chairman, Mr. Anselm Ojezua, told SUNDAY PUNCH , that the in the state party has provided a level playing field for all interested aspirants and will sustain the trend up till the primary, which he described as a major concern.
A professor of History and International Diplomacy at the University of Benin, Prof. Eddy Erhagbe, stated that while the governor could not stand aloof about his preferred successor, he should allow a democratic process to prevail.
He said, “Ordinarily, most deputy governors believe that they should succeed their principals but the principals, sometimes, would have a different plan entirely and that can, on its own create tension. The governor, as the greatest apostle of ’one man, one vote,’ should allow the people decide who should carry the ticket of the party.
“In doing that, as he (Oshiomhole) has rightly mentioned, he has the right to assist his preferred candidate. To that extent, he should not be seen as stopping others. But whatever he chooses to give to his preferred candidate is still within the permissible limit of democracy; he cannot be disinterested about who should succeed him.
The APC, according to Erhagbe, must also tread softly in managing the crisis, in order to avoid disintegration within its fold.
“Everybody knows that you should handle matters on primaries carefully so that they (party ) don’t disintegrate. Whatever it (APC) does should be done with great caution.
“To that extent also, I think the governor should control some overzealous, youthful ers, who show a different behaviour against those who want to exercise their right and contest within the democratic space of the party.”
But for the Executive Director of the African Network for Environmental and Economic Justice, Rev. David Ugolor, the situation can pose a threat to the security of lives and property in the state, if allowed to deteriorate into an altercation between the ers of the two political leaders.
Ugolor said, “I feel it is time for them to give an of how they have run the state for the last eight years; that is want the Edo people want to hear from them. Anything that will send a signal to the public that they are not able to resolve their internal crisis will not be good for the reputation of their political party.
“I think it’s in their interest to manage the reputation of their party, to go into an election with a united voice and with a clear vision for the people of Edo State. Both of them have to be careful of people who trade on violence. They should manage the situation because it can potentially damage the peaceful environment we are experiencing in Edo State.”
