FG Planned Inducing Killer Doctors To Finish El-Zakzaky — Shiites

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN), also known as Shiites, alleged on Sunday that the Federal Government planned inducing killer doctors to finish Ibrahim El-Zakzaky in India.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Ibrahim Musa, spokesman of IMN, said the Islamic cleric did not plan to seek asylum in India, contrary allegation by the government.
He said the allegation was a campaign of calumny against El-Zakzaky by the government to hide its “gross misconduct in a foreign land.
“The Islamic movement further accused the Federal Government of mischievously going beyond its role of supervision to the level of maliciously interfering in the medical process, instructing on which doctors the Sheikh and his wife must see, while refusing to allow them access to their own doctors, which confirms the allegation that the government had wanted to kill the Sheikh in the name of medical treatment,” he said.
“Before efforts at resolving this impasse could be concluded, the Sheikh was brought back to Nigeria, since their evil schemes could not be executed. The government is now churning out contradictory explanations to blame the Sheikh for not allowing himself to be killed in the name of medical treatment. The Nigerian government is also blackmailing the Sheikh that he sought for asylum in India just to cover their own gross misconduct in a foreign land.”
Musa said El-Zakzaky was forced to either accept the choice of being treated by unknown doctors or to be returned home within two hours.
“Being mindful of the government’s various previous plots to eliminate him since 2015, first through the barrels of the gun and much later through poisoning in detention while refusing him access to adequate medical care until the court’s intervention, the Sheikh sensed the government’s intention of inducing killer doctors to finish what they had earlier started, now through the back door,” he said.
“He therefore insisted on having the presence of the doctors that initially assessed him in Nigeria, who also worked in that hospital, failing which, he preferred to return to Nigeria.
“It is rather very shameful and a slap in the face of Nigeria that the government which hitherto claimed it had no hand in the case, now has to resort to lies, calumny and blackmail against a couple whose alleged crime has never ever been proved in any court of the land. All the allegations against this couple have always been merely spurious and unproven, and knowing that they could never prove it in any court they use the might of state power to intimidate and misinform the public.”

Buhari Wants Atiku’s Petition Dismissed For Lack Of Evidence

Lagos – President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) have urged the Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal to dismiss the petition filed by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the February 23 general election on technicalities and evidential grounds.
The prayers formed the gamut of other requests contained in both Buhari and APC final addresses to be adopted on August 23 and made available to newsmen on Sunday in Abuja.
The respondents had described Abubakar’s address that urged the tribunal to sack Buhari and affirm him (Abubakar) president, as a “wild goose chase prayer”.
They alleged that PDP erroneously allowed a candidate who was not a Nigerian by birth to contest the highest position, adding that such was an adventure that violated the provision of the constitution.
The president and his party, therefore, prayed the tribunal to invoke section 131 (a) of the constitution to dismiss the petition.
They noted that Atiku was born on November 25, 1946 in Jada, a former Adamawa Province of Northern Cameroon before a plebiscite was conducted in 1961 that now made the enclave part of Nigeria.
The parties, therefore, alleged that Abubakar was not qualified to enter the contest as the constitution forbade him from canvassing for votes to become a president.
“We pray that the tribunal will see this constitutional reason and go ahead to uphold the election of the second respondent (Buhari) forthwith’’, they prayed.
On evidence admitted from the petitions, the two respondents said they were empty as none had substantially proven series of the allegations made against the conduct of the election.
They explained that none of the 75 witnesses and 31, 287 exhibits which included 48 video clips had proved any of the petitioners’ allegations.
They said the petitioners had tried to mislead the tribunal and public that results from the election were transmitted electronically to a central server managed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
The respondents noted that it was public knowledge that the February 23 general election was conduct with the Electoral Act of 2010 as amended.
“Moreover, the laws in Nigeria do not recognise but actually prohibit transmission of results electronically.
“Sections 52 and 78 of the Electoral Act 2010 have categorically addressed the issue.
“The only means of transmitting election results under the law are through Forms EC8 series. Form EC8A conveys results from polling units.
“It is only through these approved forms that election results can be challenged or proven and not through server, imaginary or real,” they submitted.
The parties, therefore, submitted that the petitioners’ allegation on the use of server by INEC to transmit results was “criminal and misguided’’.
“Atiku Abubakar and the PDP have failed in their attempt to stridently prove their petition.
“The petitioners failed woefully to establish by credible evidence the existence of the imaginary server belonging to INEC,’’ they argued.
They argued that most of the witnesses presented by the petitioners attested to the fact that they signed all the forms that contained the results of the election without coercion.
Buhari and APC, therefore, averred that such testimonies of truth from the petitioners’ witnesses further bestowed legitimacy on the outcome of the election.
On Buhari’s educational qualification, they said that the petitioners failed to adduce credible and reliable evidence to establish that he (Buhari) indeed forged his certificate.
“While it is appropriate to debunk such baseless, mendacious and spurious assertion, it suffices to bring to fore the unequivocal provision of the constitution.
“The constitution is clear on this as it states the requirement for a candidate to contest the presidential election and occupy the office of the president.
“Section 131(d) provided that a person shall be qualified for election into the office of the president if he or she has been educated up to at least school certificate level or its equivalent.
“More so, the consequence of submitting a forged document to INEC is grave.
“It therefore requires precise evidence and proof beyond reasonable doubt, which the petitioners have not been able to establish,” the respondents said.
Drawing reference from the constitution, the respondents defined a secondary school certificate or its equivalent to mean: secondary school certificate or its equivalent, or Grade II Teacher’s certificate.
They listed others to include: City and Guilds certificate or education up to secondary school certificate level or primary six school leaving certificate or its equivalent and service in the public or private sector in the federation in any capacity acceptable to INEC for a minimum of 10 years.
“It is apparent that from the pleadings and evidence adduced led by the petitioners, there is no scintilla or iota of evidence to prove that the president was at the time of the election not qualified.
“It is trite that who asserts must prove, we have clearly seen that the petitioners had failed woefully in this matter.
“In the circumstance, we urge the tribunal to dismiss the petition on the grounds of both technicalities and evidential failure and to affirm the election of the president,” they submitted.
The president, who contested the election on the platform of the APC, was announced winner by INEC having scored a total of 15 million votes as against Abubakar’s 11,262,978 votes.
Justice Mohammed Garba-led five man panel awaits the parties to adopt their final addresses on August 21 preparatory to judgment.

Nigerians Relying On Judiciary To Return Our Stolen Mandate, PDP Tells Osinbajo
Meanwhile, the PDP on Sunday said Nigerians are anxiously waiting for the judiciary to return its stolen presidential mandate by the ruling APC in the just concluded general elections.
Kola Ologbondiyan, the party’s National Publicity Secretary, also described as wishful thinking the statement credited to Vice President Yemi Osinbajo that members of the PDP should troop to the APC because “their party will soon die”.
“We are not surprised by the statement credited to Vice President Osinbajo. He is acting true to what APC has been offering Nigerians – doom.
“Professor Osinbajo is very far from reality because he does not understand the drumbeats playing across the nation. Only that can account for his wishful invitation to our party members to decamp to the failed APC.
“Nigerians are looking toward the judiciary to return our party’s stolen presidential mandate in order for the nation to come out of the woods which the APC and Buhari presidency has plunged her.
“We are not surprised because he is acting true to what the APC can offer – doom. He cannot comprehend the drumbeats playing across the nation”.
Osinbajo had asked members of PDP to consider joining the ruling APC before the main opposition party dies.

Presidency Summons FIRS Boss Over Declining Revenue Collection

Abuja – Babatunde Fowler, chairman, Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS), is in the eye of the storm as he is expected to be at the Presidential Villa, Abuja today to explain why there has been a continuous decrease in tax revenue collection in the last four years.
Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari, had in a letter dated August 8, 2019, queried the FIRS chief executive of worsening tax collection since 2015.
The Chief of Staff said that the presidency “observed significant variances between the budgeted collections and actual collections for the period 2015 to 2018.”
Economic analysts have also confirmed that since 2015, the FIRS under Fowler has not been able to meet collection targets “which is a different trend from the preceding years.”
The presidency while expressing concern by the variance, said, ”You are kindly invited to submit a comprehensive variance analysis explaining the reasons for the variances between the budgeted collections and actual collections for each main tax item for each of the years 2015 to 2018.”
In 2015, FIRS set N4.7 trillion target but was only able to make N3.7 trillion in the actual collection.
In 2016, 2017 and 2018, the target collections were N4.2 trillion, N4.8 trillion and N6.7 trillion but the actual collections were N3.3 trillion, N4.0 trillion and N5.3 trillion, respectively.
Fowler, a former chairman of Lagos State Revenue Board, was appointed FIRS boss in 2015, when President Buhari won his first term election.
He succeeded Samuel Odugbesan appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
Breakdown of Nigeria’s tax statistics showed that before President Buhari and Fowler came in 2015, the only year FIRS could not meet its collection target was 2006 since the year 2000.
But in the query served Fowler, the presidency only mentioned 2012 to 2014.
“Further we have observed that actual collections for the period between 2015 and 2017 were significantly worse than what was collected between 2012 and 2014,” stated Kyari.

Power: FG Squandered Over N1trn Intervention Fund – Group

LAGOS – Coalition for Affordable and Regular Electricity (CARE), yesterday alleged that the Federal Govern-ment squandered about N1 trillion to prop up private power compa- nies without value addition to the sector.

The Group said the fund in- clude the $800million capitalisa- tion of the Nigeria Bulk Electric- ity Trading Company (NBET) Plc aimed at guaranteeing maximum profit for the GENCOs and DISCOs and the billions of intervention capital the government had given operators in the sector

The group said the fund is much more than what the federal gov- ernment gave to the sector in the previous four years before priva- tisation with no improvement to show for it.

Chinedu Bosah, national coor- dinator of the group, said the act shows clearly how the ruling elite prioritise profit for a privileged few far and above public interest.

He added: ’’In the consolidation of the bailout of the power compa- nies, the Buhari-led government and the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) have concluded plans to forgo and write-off the N270 billion debt owed by the 11 Distribution Companies.

‘’ To confirm the failure of the private power companies, the Min- istry of Power stated recently that the Discos have accumulated so much debt and have become in- solvent.

“A wing of the ruling elite that wields the most political power is interested in the profit booty in the power sector and is pushing for the re-possession of the power distri- bution asset and to be re-privatised to their benefits; and if this hap- pens, government will spend an- other N736 billion to compensate the former “owners’ for failing to movethesectorforward.

‘’The problem with the power sector is not just the failure of the power companies, but also the failure of privatisation, a pro- rich neo-liberal programme that only guarantees profit for the tiny few against the vast major- ity and the most logical thing to

OPEC Reverses 2019 Oil Demand Projection

The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, has reversed its forecast of oil market outlook for the rest of 2019, as economic growth slows and highlighted challenges in 2020 as rivals pump more, building a case to keep up an OPEC-led pact to curb supply.

In a monthly report, the OPEC, at the weekend reduced its forecast for global oil demand growth in 2019 by 40,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 1.10 million bpd and indicated the market will be in slight surplus in 2020.

The bearish outlook due to slowing economies amid the U.S.-China trade dispute and Brexit could press the case for OPEC and allies including Russia to maintain a policy of cutting output to support prices. Already, a Saudi official has hinted at further steps to support the market.

“While the outlook for market fundamentals seems somewhat bearish for the rest of the year, given softening economic growth, ongoing global trade issues and slowing oil demand growth, it remains critical to closely monitor the supply/demand balance and assist market stability in the months ahead,” OPEC said in the report.

Oil briefly pared an earlier gain after the report was released and was trading below $59 a barrel.

Despite the OPEC-led cut, oil has tumbled from April’s 2019 peak above $75 pressured by trade concerns and an economic slowdown.

The OPEC, Russia and other producers have since Jan. 1 implemented a deal to cut output by 1.2 million bpd. The alliance, known as OPEC+, in July renewed the pact until March 2020 to avoid a build-up of inventories that could hit prices.

Fidelity Bank Reinforces Commitment To Digital Technology, Adopts Open Bankingmove

Fidelity Bank, consistent with its commitment to the adoption of innovative digital technology to drive its retail strategy, reduce cost and improve revenue and returns, at the weekend, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Open Technology Foundation (OTF) for the adoption of a standard Application Programming Interface (API) for its operations as a financial institution.

Open Banking is a system that provides a user with a network of financial institutions’ data through the use of application programming interfaces (APIs).

The Open Banking Nigeria Standard defines how financial data and services should be created, shared and accessed. By relying on networks instead of centralisation, open banking helps customers to securely share their financial data with other financial institutions.

The bank recently took a bold step to further provide its consumers with improved services and solutions that meet their needs by leveraging the collaborative model of Open Banking. Through this partnership, Fidelity Bank would deepen its financial services delivery through appropriate and time sensitive channels whilst collaborating with other stakeholders within the ecosystem.

Open Banking has been seen as the most transformational financial technology over the next decade which has seen about 47 countries at various stage of implementation.

Recently, the Central Bank of Nigeria signaled its intention to lead Africa in digital payments innovation with the request for information about the National Payments System Vision 2030 for which Open Banking is a strategic priority.

Additionally, Fidelity Bank has by this development, joined other leading banking and financial services industry players, who have not only adopted but are also promoting this mode of operation, which among other benefits would drastically consolidate customer satisfaction, grow revenue across diverse streams, promote financial inclusion, as well as assure a smooth but controlled data flow.

Sheffield United Claim First Premier League Win For 12 years

John Lundstram’s second-half strike saw Sheffield United defeat Crystal Palace 1-0 as Premier League football made a long-awaited return to Bramall Lane on Sunday.

Back in the top flight for the first time since their relegation in 2007, amid the controversial Carlos Tevez affair, the Blades built on their opening-day draw at Bournemouth with three points on Sunday.

Lundstram fired home the decisive goal after 47 minutes and the majority of the 30,197 crowd responded with a noise to rock the foundations of the world’s oldest professional football stadium.

The hosts started with gusto and energy but were offered an early reminder of the pace of Premier League football when a Palace counter-attack resulted in Christian Benteke stinging the palms of Dean Henderson with a shot from a tight angle down the right side of the penalty area.

However, the visitors were often pedestrian in their build-up play thereafter, with Luka Milivojevic dropping deep to receive the ball and not being given a moment’s peace by the industrious Callum Robinson and David McGoldrick.

Wilfried Zaha, recalled to the Palace starting line-up after starting on the bench against Everton – who attempted to sign him over the summer – last weekend, was largely anonymous but for a couple of ill-advised exchanges with George Baldock, Blades boss Chris Wilder and the home fans.

After the early scare, things looked promising for the hosts. By contrast their build-up play was sharp and varied, with pin-point switches of play between the flanks.

Baldock was causing all sorts of problems for Palace down the right. Perhaps watching England manager Gareth Southgate was looking to nip in ahead of Greece, for whom the wing-back is also eligible due to his grandparents.

The Blades thought they should have had a penalty midway through the first half when an Enda Stevens’ shot looked like it struck the hand of Martin Kelly, but referee David Coote waved away the appeals. Shortly afterwards Baldock saw an effort deflected over the crossbar.

Injury forced off John Fleck after 29 minutes, with Luke Freeman replacing him, but the change did not affect the hosts, who looked dangerous again when Robinson controlled a long diagonal pass and shot over the bar.

Three minutes before the break, Vicente Guaita made a point-blank save to deny McGoldrick from six yards out after Lundstram had found the striker with a low, curling cross.

It was a glaring miss, but United’s big moment was not far away as Wilder’s team resumed after half-time where they had left off.

Following good play down the left from Jack O’Connell, Freeman cut into the penalty area. His low shot was parried by Guaita, but he could only push the ball into the path of Lundstram, who steered his effort home from eight yards.

Palace replied with a curling attempt from Andros Townsend which Henderson had to push away to safety.

Chances became less frequent for the Blades after the goal as the game became a little fractious. Baldock and Palace substitute James McCarthy were both booked after a confrontation in the 74th minute.

O’Connell saw a far-post header blocked by Guaita, while club-record signing Ollie McBurnie tamely looped a header onto the roof of the net.

But Palace were not creating anything either, and the hosts comfortably saw out the match.

US Woman Who Thought She Had Kidney Stone, Gives Birth To Triplets

A South Dakota woman named Dannette who despite having 2 children, never knew she had a baby growing in her; talk more of being pregnant with triplets. She always thought she had a kidney stone and that’s because she had it a long time ago, so she assumed it came back.

She began having severe pain which turned out to be unbearable for her, so she headed to a hospital and requested for a kidney stone surgery, only for her to be informed that she’s pregnant and it was actually with triplets.

Quoting dannette, she said; “I started getting pains, I figured it was kidney stones because I’ve gone through them before,”

Meanwhile, Dannette’s 10-year-old son named Ronnie Giltz had always wished for a baby brother and 2 sisters for his little sister who had always wanted to have a little sister. He was quoted as saying; “One time I have seen a shooting star and I wished for a baby brother, and I wished for like two sisters for my little sister because she always wanted a little sister, I knew this day was always going to come,”

The triplets weighed about 4 pounds and each and were delivered just 4 minutes apart. She gave birth to a boy and 2 girls and named them Blaze, Gypsy, and Nikki.

Quoting her experience while giving birth to the triplets she said; “It was quiet, we thought they were done. He’s over there, kind of like rocking like, thinking of the names and then she’s like well we need another blanket and his reaction is like excuse me, put it back, no, I was told I have twins, I’m not doing triplets. She’s like no, there are three babies in here, and there are triplets,”

She continued; “You don’t ever see triplets being conceived naturally, let alone going 34 weeks without knowing. So, everyone’s like I can’t believe it, I’m like we’re still in shock, trust me, we know what you mean like I go to the doctor’s thinking I’ll have surgery for kidney stones and end up going into labor with a c-section that night. It’s crazy,”
