APC group suggest Ribadu to fight Buhari's antigraft war





President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged to bring in people like former anti-corruption czar and Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Malam Nuhu Ribadu, to help pursue his agenda of probity, fight corruption and ensure that those who feast on the common wealth are made to return it.President of the All Progressives Congress (APC) National Coalition for Peace and Mobilisation (NACOPEM), Comrade Ahmed Saleh made the call on Tuesday in Abuja. Speaking at the National Executive Council (NEC) meeting of the association, Comrade Saleh also voiced the readiness of the group to reach out to some important members of the APC, who either left the party in anger or were misled into leaving in the run up to the 2015 general elections. Saleh however, insisted that “We need the likes of Nuhu Ribadu and many others to rejoin the party and support this government to fight corruption and help Mr President address the multifaceted problems we have been facing since independence”. The group said as part of its assigned mandate, as members of the peace and mobilisation of the APC, its investigations revealed that what the government needs at this critical point in time to fight corruption is for President Buhari to call on credible Nigerians, who it said possess the know-how, intelligence, ability and the strategy to fight corruption. “I mention people like Ribadu because I remember when $15 million was brought to him in an attempt to bribe him. How many people can resist such temptation at this present day? Today, former Governor James Ibori is in jail partly due to his efforts,” he said.

Trump spending nearly $5M on TV ads in pivotal swing states

Image
With a new campaign team in place, Donald Trump is opening the ad spigot with $4.9 million in commercial buys over the next 10 days in Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania, Kantar Media’s political-ad-tracking service reported Thursday. The ads, set to begin airing Friday, will include negative “facts and figures” about Hillary Clinton and a positive message about Trump, new campaign manager Kellyanne Conway told Fox News. Clinton has a huge head start in the ad wars, having torn through $61 million since she locked up the nomination in June. With her primary super PAC added to the mix, Clinton’s spending totals at least $104 million. Meanwhile, Trump hasn’t spent a dime on TV spots in the general election. But outside groups like the National Rifle Association and two super PACS, Rebuilding America Now PAC and Great America PAC, have boosted Trump, spending at least $13.5 million. Polls show Trump trailing in all four battleground states where he’s buying ads...

President Obama’s lame-duck drive for disastrous ‘success’

Image
Lame-duck presidents rarely get much done in their final year, or even try — clearing the field for election- year politics. But President Obama is plainly intent on feeding partisan rancor in 2016 — via unconstitutional overreach. He’s going big with executive action, damn the consequences. And he’s doing so on divisive issues from gun control to immigration. On New Year’s Eve, his Homeland Security Department announced new rules boosting the number of work visas for foreign-born US college graduates — well above the level approved by Congress. This, just weeks after language buried deep in the omnibus spending bill increased visas for working-class immigrants. And as immigration has become a bitter issue on the presidential campaign trail. On gun control, word is that an executive order to expand background checks on certain gun sales will come this week. Look: This issue’s been before Congress for at least two years — and gone nowhere. Worse, Obama’s c...
