Generations to come Will Remain Grateful To Obasanjo – president Buhari

President Muhammdu Buhari said that former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, through his personal sacrifice, commitment and wisdom, has contributed immensely to the institutionalization of democracy in Nigeria and Africa at large. Congratulating Obasanjo who turns 79 on March 5, Buhari stated that many generations would be grateful to him for the work he has done with several countries and governments of African nations.

A statement by the President’s Special Adviser on Media, Femi Adesina, said: “President Buhari believes that Chief Obasanjo’s place in global history is assured for successfully handing over power to a civilian government in 1979 after serving as a military Head of State, and returning to power in 1999 through elections to stabilize the polity, during which he most remarkably negotiated a debt relief for Nigeria.”

“The President warmly commends Chief Obasanjo’s vision and commitment to the growth of Nigeria and Africa, which translated into a historical growth rate of 6 percent for the Nigerian economy after a long period of slow growth, and also created a rippling effect that buoyed other African economies.”

“As he turns 79, the President avers that the former president’s regular shuttles across Nigeria and Africa to counsel on economic, social and political issues, and his willingness to head election monitoring teams that have heralded smooth transitions in many countries are legacies which generations will remain grateful.” “President Buhari prays that the Almighty God will grant the Balogun of the Owu lineage, who is also the Ekerin Balogun of the Egba clan, long life and strength to continue his service to humanity.”

President Buhari To Attend Nuclear Security Summit In Washington

President Muhammadu Buhari is to attend the Nuclear Security Summit in Washington DC in three weeks’ time. A preliminary list of delegates shows that he will be accompanied to the three-day event, to be hosted by President Barak Obama between March 30 and April 1, by three governors and six Ministers.

Also on the preliminary list prepared by the presidency are 11 principal officers and a 23-member Advance team that includes a medical doctor, Protocol officers, State House media, bodyguards and a cook. The final list is expected to be higher when technical experts from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as well as other Ministries, Departments and aides of relevant political office holders are added.

An average presidential trip costs Nigerian taxpayers between half a million and $1.2million in travelling expenses alone. The last visit by President Buhari, to Saudi Arabia and Qatar, gulped over $3m at a time when the exchange rate was nearly N400 to $1.00. President Buhari had also been scheduled to pay a state visit to China this month, but that has been postponed until further notice.

The 2016 Nuclear Security Summit will be the fourth to be hosted by President Obama, the first of them in 2010. They are aimed at addressing the threat of nuclear terrorism to global security through international cooperation to secure vulnerable nuclear materials, break up black markets, and detect and intercept illicitly trafficked materials.

This Man was Arrested For Selling Late Father’s House For N500k In Lagos (Photo)

A 62-year-old man, Adewale Mabun, has been arrested and charged before Isolo Magistrates’ court for allegedly selling his late father’s house for N500,000 without involving other siblings in Lagos State, western Nigeria. He was remanded in prison custody after he failed to meet his bail condition. Ogun State-born Mabun allegedly contacted Rasheed Komolafe and negotiated to sell their late father’s bungalow for the amount which he paid.

The house in question is located at 11, Silva Street, Mushin where the family buried their late father. The late father married three wives and many children while Mabun is the eldest. P.M.NEWS gathered that during the negotiation, it was agreed that Mabun will evacuate their late father’s corpse to enable Komalafe to take possession and paid another amount for the evacuation.

While the transaction was going on, other children from their late father did not know about it. Trouble started after Mabun secretly evacuated their father’s corpse from the tomb and carried it to their home town and buried it. He remained there with the new wife he married.

When members of the family realized what Mabun had done, the resisted it and asked Komolafe to collect his money back from Mabun. Consequently, Komolafe went to the police and reported what happened and the police trailed Mabun to his home town and arrested him. He was brought him back to Lagos to face prosecution.

When the police asked him to refund the money, he said he had spent it by building a shop in their village and marrying another wife. He was charged to court with obtaining under false pretence and stealing under the Criminal code. When Mabun was arraigned, he pleaded not guilty. The presiding Magistrate, Mrs A. K. Shonubi granted Mabun bail in the sum of N200,000 with one surtey in like sum.

He was remanded in prison custody at Kirikiri pending when he will perfect his bail condition. The matter was adjourned till 11 April, 2016. Source: PMNews
