Nigeria: Economy: Buhari Not Seeking Emergency Powers - Presidency

Abuja — The Presidency has denied media reports that President Muhammadu Buhari is seeking emergency powers to tackle the nation’s economic challenges.

Some of these measures may well require legislative amendments and presidential orders that will enable the executive arm of government move quickly in implementing the economic reform plans. “As far as I know, this has not b...

[POLITICS - OPINION] Mr. Chinakwe’s Dog, The Sons Of Lucifer And The Seed Of Al Shaitan – By Femi Fani-Kayode

By Temitayo   /   “I won’t be surprised if the man arrested for naming his dog Buhari is arraigned before Justice Okon Abang. There is nothing beyond this government”- Mr. Deji Adeyanju, Twitter, 20th August, 2016. Mr. Adeyanju, who is a young and rising bright star in Nigeria’s political firmament, is absolutely right. When the likes of Mrs. Oby Ezekwezile, the former Minister of Education and a hitherto great supporter and friend of the Buhari administration can publicly proclaim that “President Buhari does not deserve to be President”, then you know that this government has indeed gone beyond the pale, that the meltdown has started and that the corpses are beginning to smell. Yet nothing is more indicative of the Federal Government’s misplaced priorities and more reflective of their total and complete ...

By EL-Nazeer The Kaduna State Government said on Monday that it would soon ban the sale of high energy consuming bulbs, as part of strategy to boost energy efficiency. The state’s Commissioner for Budget and Planning, Muhammad Abdullahi made this known in an interview with newsmen in Kaduna.

[OPINION] Tinubu, PDP And The Road To 2019 – By Dele Momodu

Image
By Anu   /   Fellow Nigerians, you must be wondering what this title is all about. Please, calm down, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, one of Nigeria’s iconic politicians, is not about to dump his party, APC, for PDP, the party he fought hard with others to sack from power just last year. The reason for bringing PDP into this article which largely concerns the Tinubu conundrum is very simple and straight-forward. PDP has suffered calamities upon catastrophes since General Muhammadu Buhari sacked President Goodluck Jonathan from office. It is hard to imagine, or believe, that a party that held Nigeria by the jugular for 16 solid years could attain meltdown so soon and almost disappear into oblivion. One would have expected PDP, despite its electoral misfortune, to provide a formidable opposition to APC a...
