{NEWS ZONE}~ Alleged plot to remove Saraki as Senate President: APC, R-APC tango over plan to induce each senator with N50m

-

The All Progressives Congress, APC, and its splinter group, Reformed All Progressives Congress, R-APC, were yesterday locked in a war of words over alleged plans by the former to induce each senator with N50 million to forcibly reconvene, with a view to unseating the Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.
APC restated its desire to remove the Senate President from office, but noted that rather than expending millions of Naira of public funds on the effort, it would deploy its numerical strength in the upper chamber to get Saraki out of the way.

The R-APC alleged that the government has decided to use force to reconvene the National Assembly because using legal means to remove the Senate President will be a difficult process.
It added that once the Senate leadership is overthrown, the Senate would immediately consider the virement budget of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, and also approve pending nominations in the Senate.
The APC government is also alleged to be reaching out to some Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, senators, especially those who have Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, queries in order to give them a clean bill once they defect to the APC.

APC plotting to replace Saraki with Adamu, says R-APC
R-APC in a statement signed by the National Publicity Secretary, Prince Kassim Afegbua, in Abuja yesterday, said if government succeeds in removing Saraki, he would be replaced by the Chairman, Senate Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development, Senator Abdullahi Adamu (APC, Nasarawa West).
The statement read: “The rumours making the rounds that Senator Bukola Saraki, the Senate President, would be impeached by crook or hook has remained unabated in the last few days.
“We can bring you news that the disputed leadership of the APC, working in cahoots with the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, coupled with the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, have perfected their plans to apply gestapo methods to forcibly unseat the Senate President.
“A high-powered meeting of these persons was held at the Maitama residence of the disputed chairman of the APC on Thursday, August 2, 2018 where they brainstormed on the possible ways to carry out their illegality.
“The meeting which lasted for three hours, insider source confirmed to us at the R-APC, explored both legal and illegal approaches to execute the assignment of ensuring that Dr. Bukola Saraki ceases to be the Senate President.
“Having met a brickwall going by the legal processes involved before the Senate can be re-opened, the disputed APC leadership is toying with the barbaric idea of forcibly opening the National Assembly, reconvening the Senate and using the senators of the APC to preside over the planned impeachment. “Senator Abdullahi Adamu has been penciled down to succeed Senator Bukola Saraki, amid a host of other changes in the Senate’s principal officers. Once the Senate leadership is overthrown in a coup d’etat manner, the Senate will immediately consider the virement budget of INEC and also approve pending nominations in the Senate.
“Part of the plot was to reach out to some PDP senators, especially those who have EFCC queries in order to give them a clean bill of health once they defect to the APC. They also agreed to woo some senators with the sum of N50 million.
“We are by this statement alerting the nation and the international community of these barbaric and primitive plots aimed at deliberately over-heating the system and undermine law and order by sheer use of brute force.
“We are raising alarm because of the dangers these portend for democracy, especially in an already fragile political atmosphere that has played host to several fluctuations and militarization in the last two weeks.
“Part of the plot is to seek out what they called a “friendly judge” where they could procure either a black-market injunction or Jankara Court order that would be used as alibi for the planned impeachment and take-over of the National Assembly.
“We find all these plots as burdensome for a system that was already undergoing storm and stress, thus making us object of ridicule in the eyes of the world. It is benumbing to note that those who usually occupy the front seats when democracy is being discussed, are the architects of these orchestrated plots peculiar to military regimes.

The demolition of N800 million Music House belonging to popular musician, Yinka Ayefele, in Ibadan has finally divided Oyo State government. While the government’s lawyer, Yomi Alliyu, denied the involvement of the state government in the demolition exercise, the Special Adviser to the Oyo State governor on Physical Planning and Development Control, Waheed Gbadamosi, admitted that it was the government that demolished Ayefele’s Fresh FM building. Barrister Alliyu told the State High Court, presided by Justice Iyabo Yerima on Monday August 20, that the state has no hand in Ayefele’s misfortune. “My clients are men of honour that respect rule of law and constituted authority and will have no reason to demolish the said property,” Alliyu told the court.

{STORY SERIES}••• THE WHITE WIZARD PART 1

ONE Ìgbëtì town lay at the foot of several huge mountains, long time ago. It was surrounded by fertile plain and blossoming orchards. For thirty years, Qlöwô reigned and ruled with fairness and wise moderation. During Qlöwô‘s time, the natives reaped good crops, their pasture was verdant, their goats and sheep strong. They enjoyed memorable feasts and sang praises to honour the king. The chieftains, too, were loyal to Qlöwô and often asked the gods to grant him a long life. But the king died unexpectedly one morning, leaving behind his only surviving son. For months, the natives mourned their dead king and their hearts were filled with great grief. The chieftains were more disheartened, for they held a common opinion about Eléwì, Qlöwô’s heir apparent. To these men, Eléwì was too young to rule Ìgbëtì after his father. One evening, under a heavy rain, Eléwì dashed into Alápó’s house. Alápó was a high-ranking chieftain in Ìgbëtì. “What can I do for you?,” the chieftain asked E
