Senator Elisha Abbo, representing Adamawa Senatorial district, on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) was caught on a camera physical assaulting a woman at an adult toy shop in Abuja.

Abbo in the video was seen slapping a woman who pleaded with him not to assault the shop owner whom the Senator accused of insulting him.

According to him he said the shop owner called him a drunk.

Reacting to the video, Senator Abbo said the owner of the shop only released a part of the video. He said the other part of the video showing where his younger sister was assaulted in the shop was taken out of the clip.

However, shortly after the initial reaction, Abbo made u-turn, apologised to Nigerians, the PDP and women in general for physically assaulting a lady. He made the apology at a press conference at the PDP headquarters in Abuja. The senator, with teary eyes at the briefing as seen in the press conference video (between 2 mins 30 secs and 2 mins 50 secs), asked for forgiveness. Nevertheless, a poll conducted to get the pulse of Nigerians concerning the assault shows that Abbo’s apology may not be enough.

Aides of President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo whose appointments have not been renewed since the expiration of the last administration on May 29 are in a fix, PREMIUM TIMES reports.

Appointees of the president, who occupy various positions in the presidency, were expected to leave office at the end of Mr Buhari’s first tenure on May 28, 2019.

PREMIUM TIMES gathered that appointment letters issued to all the presidential aides had actually given May 29, 2019, as the termination date of their appointments.

Mr Buhari has not renewed the appointment of any of the aides since taking a fresh oath of office over a month ago.

Without asking them to leave their posts, the president has allowed the coterie of aides to continue serving the government, thereby generating confusion.

The status of the presidential aides has generated controversy with lawyers describing the aides’ staying on as illegal.

Over 100 aides serving Messrs Buhari and Osinbajo and their spouses are affected by the logjam, including Mr Buhari’s spokespersons, Femi Adesina and Garba Shehu.

A source at the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), said only three appointees in the presidency are not affected by the glitch.

Those not affected are the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha; Mr Buhari’s Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari, and the deputy chief of staff who serves Mr Osinbajo, Adeola Ipaye.

Checks by this newspaper indicate that civil servants in charge of finance have since May 29, 2019, written off presidential aides from the payroll, thereby depriving them of salaries, allowances and travel estacodes.

Presidential aides, who spoke with PREMIUM TIMES last week, confirmed that the last pay they got was for May, which is considered their last month in office.

A civil servant, who is not in a position to speak on record, also confirmed that none of the political appointees was paid in June.

A special assistant to the president who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES on Wednesday said the non-payment of salary was not expected, as appointees felt their mandates would have been renewed before the end of the month.

“Well, actually our letters said our position would be terminated by May 29, it is there. We are still operating but there is no pay of any kind,” he said.

Aside salaries and routine allowances, PREMIUM TIMES learnt that the affected aides are also no longer entitled to travel allowances and estacodes.

This manifested last week when Mr Osinbajo was preparing to travel for a meeting in the United States.

The vice president was reportedly taken aback when he was told that his personal aides could not be provided for by the government to join him on the trip.

Civil servants handling his office said they could not pay the aides estacodes as was the normal practice.

The piqued Mr Osinbajo had to device personal means to take care of the few aides he travelled with.

This constraint may also affect Mr Buhari’s scheduled trip to Niamey, Niger Republic, this newspaper learnt.

The president is expected to travel with a very small number of personal aides who are political appointees.

“Apart from the ADC and CSO, the personal physician and the chief of protocol, no other aide is sure of traveling with the president,” a source at the presidency said.

The spokesperson of the SGF’s Office, which is the office in charge of appointments of aides, Willy Bassey, declined comment on the matter insisting that the issue was not in the purview of the SGF’s office.

“It is the duty of the Revenue Mobilisation Commission. Reach out to them,” he directed, rebuffing all attempts to explain his office’s connection with the subject.

But a senior official in the office of the SGF, who is not authorised to speak with the media, said the logjam is being sorted out “as the government has commenced process of reappointing some of the aides”.

“It is only when their appointment(s) is renewed that they can continue to benefit from the pecks of office,” the senior official said on Wednesday

Some northern leaders have warned that Nigeria was gradually drifting into anarchy

– The leaders said the issue is as a result of the failure of government to address the security challenges confronting the country

– They gave the warning at a two-day northern Nigeria security conference in Kaduna, organised by some development agencies

A meeting of Northern leaders on Tuesday, November 2, warned that Nigeria was gradually drifting into anarchy as a result of the failure of government to address the security challenges confronting the country.

The leaders include retired army generals, inspectors general of police, intelligence experts, academia and other technocrats.

They gave the warning at a two-day northern Nigeria security conference in Kaduna, organised by Arewa Research and Development Project in collaboration with Sir Ahmadu Bello Foundation, Savanna Centre for Diplomacy, Democracy and Development as well as the Joint Committee of Northern Youth Associations.

Speakers at the conference warned that politicising the security situation in the region would have dire consequences, Vanguard reports.

The meeting with the theme, “Organising and coordinating community response to the rising insecurity in the north,” deliberated on the security situation in the north-east, where Boko Haran had ravaged for 10 years and the north-west, where cattle rustling and banditry have held sway.

Dr. Usman Bugaje of Arewa Research and Development Project, one of the conveners of the meeting, expressed concern over the increasing spate of insecurity occasioned by kidnapping, armed robbery and banditry across the north and parts of the country.

– Adejumo said she is thankful to God that Fatoyinbo decided to step down

– Pastor Fatoyinbo was recently accused of child molestation in an interview done by Busola Dakolo

Senior pastor and founder of Agape Christian Ministries, Reverend Funke Adejumo, has addressed the child molestation allegations leveled against the senior pastor of Commonwealth of Zion Assembly (COZA).

COZA pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo, recently had is life turned upside down after he was accused of child molestation. Busola Dakolo, the wife of singer Timi Dakolo, accused the pastor of molesting her as a child.

Weeks after the allegations became public, Pastor Adejumo took to her Instagram page to address the incident. Adejumo noted that it took her a while to talk about the allegations in public because she had to do some work.

Student of National diploma two of the Nigeria institute of journalism had a speech presentation on the 19th of June 2019. Students of the national diploma two had a wonderful time presenting their speech.

I, Aza Becky Samantha, a student of national diploma 2 of the prestigious institute had a speech presentation tagged “politics is really a dirty game or is it how people plays it that makes it dirty”. It was a privilege for me having to speak about the topic, because many Nigerians believes “politics” is a duty game.

Politics isn’t a game but the activities aimed at improving someone’s status or increasing power in an organization. So politics is not a “game” but the assertion of politics “is a game”. Governances was borne out of politics, politics is therefore the way people cohabit in such a way that will be orderly.

In conclusion people are responsible for the dirty nature of politics.
