The youth arm of the party passed a vote of no confidence on him, the three senators and other members of the House of Representatives from Bauch state

The desire to enjoy immunity like elected
officials in the executive arm of government
may have landed Yakubu Dogara, the speaker
of the House of Representatives, in trouble


The Youth Vanguard of the All Progressives
Party (APC) on Thursday, July 13, passed a
vote of no confidence on Dogara as well as all
National Assembly members from Bauchi state
for allegedly sabotaging President
Muhammadu Buhari’s fight against corruption
in liaison with members of the
opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
According to the group, all the three senators
and 11 representatives from the state have
betrayed the party through which they were
elected.
The youth arm of the APC said, in a statement
by its zonal secretary for north-east, Tanko
Umar Jakusko, that the legislators’ support for
immunity for principal officers of the National
Assembly was provocative.

Read the statement:
“We the members of the APC Youth 
has commended the giant strides of the four
APC governors in the north-eastern states
towards alleviating the suffering of the people
and we have vowed to continue to lend support
to their laudable programmes.
“It is disheartening and unbelievable watching
some National Assembly members who rode on
the back of APC particularly from Bauchi state
now secretly romancing with opposition PDP
and some suspected fraudsters to jeopardise the
efforts of the federal and their state government
for selfish interest.
“We have observed helplessly events of past few
weeks how Bauchi state is targeted for political
vandalisation and acts of sabotage by its
disgruntled elected members in the national
assembly for opposition to thrive against the
interest of the peace enjoyed without convincing
reason.
“We are aware of how Speaker Yakubu Dogara
in the 2015 elections along with the PDP
watered ethno-religious sentiment to flourish in
his Bogoro local government area against all
other APC candidates, including the president
who was ‘awarded’ a paltry 13,000 votes to
cover outcries against the thousands awarded to
PDP candidate. All APC candidates lost in
Bogoro except Yakubu Dogara which confirms
our allegation of connivance with PDP and other
ethno-religious jingoists.
“The same Dogara and his cohorts from Bauchi
state in connivance with PDP in the House of
Representatives are now the foot soldiers and
megaphones of the embattled senate president,
Bukola Saraki who is alleged to be a by-product
of fraud.
“The ongoing romance between PDP and
Bukola’s supporters in the national assembly
against the popular administration of President
Buhari should not be treated with soft gloves.
The presidency, APC national secretariat and
security agencies should act fast before the
country is thrown into chaos and anarchy by
some disgruntled corrupt politicians that parade
themselves as democrats. The truth must be
allowed to surface and stringent measures
applied to serve as deterrent to future fraudsters
that are trying to institutionalise fraud in our
national politics”.

Britain plans to invite Trump to meet Queen Elizabeth II

British officials plan to invite President-elect Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, to meet Queen Elizabeth II next summer in an attempt to cozy up him. The courtesy is being used as a “secret weapon” by the British government to coax Trump into securing a free-trade deal with them and to influence his thinking on NATO, Syria and foreign affairs, an insider told The Sunday Times of London. Trump told Brexit backers last weekend that he’s “looking forward to it” because his mother always loved the queen, a government source said.

Read are Donlad Trump is abusing Hillary Clinton even giving her a new nickname

Image
Donald Trump came up with a new insult for Hillary Clinton on Friday, calling her a “thief” and charging that she sucks up to President Obama so he will keep her out of jail over her email scandal. “Hillary hates Obama. She’s hated him for years. Bill Clinton really hates Obama. I know that as a fact,” he said at an outdoor rally in Redding, Calif., where the temperature hit 104 degrees. Trump tore into Clinton’s use of a private email server as secretary of state. “What a mess she’s in. Who would be so stupid to do what she did with her emails?” the presumptive GOP nominee said. “But I get why she did it — because she’s a thief. That’s why she did it,” he roared, adding a nickname to his usual favorite, “Crooked Hillary.” “Hillary Clinton should be in jail for what she did to our national security. She could have used a government server.” He claimed Clinton agrees with Obama’s policies only because she fears prosecution. “They are protecting her from going to ja...

Beheadings reach 20-year high in Saudi Arabia

Activists stage mock executions outside Saudi Arabia's embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, on April 1, 2010, after a Lebanese man was allegedly beheaded in Saudi Arabia for performing witchcraft. Photo: AP DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Saudi Arabia carried out at least 157 executions in 2015, with beheadings reaching their highest level in the kingdom in two decades, according to several advocacy groups that monitor the death penalty worldwide. Coinciding with the rise in executions is the number of people executed for non-lethal offenses that judges have wide discretion to rule on, particularly for drug-related crimes. Rights group Amnesty International said in November that at least 63 people had been executed since the start of the year for drug-related offenses. That figure made for at least 40 percent of the total number of executions in 2015, compared to less than 4 percent for drug-related executions in 2010. Amnesty said Saudi Arabia had exceeded its hig...
