Buhari Sacks SGF's Board Chairmanship Appointment, Announces Replacement

President Muhammadu Buhari has removed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, SGF, Babachir David Lawal as chairman of the presidential committee on the reconstitution of federal government boards of parastatals, agencies and commissions.

Vice President Yemi Osinbajo has been appointed to chair the presidential committee, while chairman of the National Drugs Law Enforcement Agencies (NDLEA) Muhammad Mustapha Abdallah was appointed head of the secretariat.

“The SGF is no longer in charge of that responsibility, for obvious reasons,” a source confided in Daily Trust.

It was gathered that Abdallah-led team now meets frequently at Wuse II, Abuja, and “s working vigorously and will soon conclude its work after which it will submit its report to Mr President.

DAILY POST had reported that President Buhari has begun search for a new SGF following the indictment of Lawal by the Nigerian Senate.

The upper chamber of the National Assembly accused Lawal of corruption in the award of contracts at the Presidential Initiative on North East (PINE).

Buhari, in his New Year message, noted that his “government is aware of some mistakes and wrongdoings in handling the affairs of IDPs. We are taking measures to correct those mistakes and punish the culprits”.

Recall that Buhari in October, 2015 constituted an eight-member committee, headed by Babachir, to compile names of prospective appointees into federal government boards, parastatals and agencies.

Members of the committee included Alhaji Mai Mala Buni (northeast), Alhaji Zakari Ede (northcentral), Alhaji Inuwa Abdulkadir (northwest), Chief Hillard Etagbo Eta (south-south), Chief Pius Akinyelure (southwest), Chief Emmanuel Eneukwe (southeast) and Mr. Gideon Sammani, a senior special assistant to the president as secretary.

The committee, however, had disagreements over certain issues in November.

Buhari, in a response, directed Osinbajo to meet stakeholders including the Senate President Bukola Saraki, House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF) Chairman Abdulaziz Yari, APC Governors Forum Chairman Rochas Okorocha and representatives of the governors in each of the six geopolitical zones.

The governors nominated were: Jibrilla Bindow (northeast), Atiku Bagudu (northwest), Simon Lalong (northcentral), Rochas Okorocha (southeast), Adams Oshiomhole (south-south), and Akinwumi Ambode (southwest).

They committee swung into action and reviewed names of the prospective appointees collated by the SGF from the 36 states and FCT which was reportedly done without recourse to governors and other stakeholders of the APC.

The SGF was accused of not treating the issue of board appointments with levity.

He allegedly failed to carry members of the APC Presidential Campaign Council along while refusing to consult governors, a development that set them against Buhari.

President Buhari is expected to make appointments into no fewer than 500 parastatals.

On the lastest development, a government official told Daily Trust that the SGF’s committee on the board appointments had finished its job and has submitted its report.

“I am not denying the protests by some individuals and groups, but the committee of the SGF has completed its assignment and the Vice President’s committee is not a replacement for the SGF’s.

Popularly known a Yayi, the Vice Chairman, Senate Committee on Communications, Senator Solomon Adeola, yesterday hit back at Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State over his declaration that some governorship aspirants are not qualified to succeed him in 2019.

Adeola, who spoke at a Christmas party organised in Sango-Ota by a former state Commissioner for Community Development and Cooperatives, Chief Samuel Aiyedogbon, said only God will determine the next governor of the state.

Senator Adeola is believed to be a core loyalist to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) lawmaker noted that he had been contesting and winning elections for about 20 years and was not afraid to throw his hat into the ring again in 2019.

Amosun had, at an APC stakeholders’ meeting in Abeokuta last week, declared that none of the seven aspirants, who had indicated interest to succeed him in 2019 would become governor in the state.

At the meeting, the governor also denied that he was at loggerheads with former Lagos State Governor, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the erstwhile Ogun governor, Chief Olusegun OsobaBut yesterday, Adeola, representing Lagos West Senatorial District, expressed surprise at Amosun’s remark and contended that nobody was capable of determining the next governor except God.

He said: “I have been contesting for about 20 years and I have been winning. If I have not been doing good things, it wouldn’t have been possible.

I am, therefore, assuring you that I will continue to do the good works for which I’m renowned.

“All that you have lost will be restored. When you go to the local governments, there is nothing there again.

All your losses will be restored when I emerge as the governor. “Some people have said certain seven people have come out and approached them, that they don’t have leadership qualities.

I have the belief that it is only God as well as the entire people of Ogun State have the right to determine who is fit to become next governor.

“That is why we have decided to come to the people for consultation and inform them that it is our desire to take Ogun State to enviable height.

By God’s grace and with the support of the people, we shall be successful. “I am resolute and determined.

Some people have been asking whether Yayi will contest or return to Lagos; I am assuring you that this one (in 2019) is a must.”

Angry Mob Lynched 'Defeated' Female B'Haram Bomber To Death In Borno; See Photo

MailOnline - A female suicide bomber in Nigeria was lynched to death by an irate mob after her explosive vest failed to detonate. 

The woman was killed by people at the Kasuway Shanu cattle market in the central district of Kasuwa in Maiduguri in northeastern Nigeria. 

She was killed shortly after another woman had successfully detonated her vest.

It is understood the two attacks were due to be coordinated in order to maximise the number of casualties. 

Police confirmed the first terrorist died in the attack while the second woman was 'lynched by an irate mob in her vicinity'.  

Nobody has claimed responsibility for this morning's attack, which took place around 8.40am local time. 

Security forces believe the two terrorists were from Boko Haram. 

This week, President Muhammadu Buhari claimed the Nigerian military had successfully wiped out Boko Haram's main base in the Sambisa Forest. 

He said: 'I was told by the Chief of Army Staff that the Camp fell at about 1:35pm on Friday, December 23, and that the terrorists are on the run, and no longer have a place to hide. I urge you to maintain the tempo by pursuing them and bringing them to justice.' 

He said the victory was the 'final crushing of Boko Haram. 

Despite having been pushed back to the forest by the army in recent months, the group still stages bombings in the northeast and in neighbouring Niger and Cameroon. A suspected Boko Haram suicide bomber killed two people in Cameroon on Sunday.

The terror group has killed 15,000 people and displaced more than two million during a seven-year insurgency to create an Islamic state governed by a harsh interpretation of sharia law in the northeast of Africa's most populous nation.
