Buhari Has Cut Deal With Yari, Masari To Capture Zamfara, Katsina —atiku

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar , says he welcomes whatever reasonable measures the Federal Government takes to put an end to the needless loss of lives and property in Zamfara and Katsina states , but warns that imposing an emergency rule in the two states can only address the symptoms rather than the cause of the current security crisis facing the North- West states . Reacting to the call by Governor Abdul - Aziz Yari for the imposition of a state of emergency in Zamfara State, Atiku said in a statement by his Special Assistant on Public Communication , Mr. Phrank Shaibu , that a fundamental solution must be sought to the crisis to ensure lasting peace . The statement said the deal being struck between the Federal Government and the governors of Zamfara and Katsina states reflected the desperation of the All Progressives Congress - led Federal Government to ‘’ capture ’’ the states at all cost during next month ’ s general elections . “ The deal, cut at a meeting in the Presidential Villa in Abuja, is simple : The Federal Government will impose a state of emergency in Zamfara , to provide a window for the APC to field a candidate for the governorship election in the state having failed to do so within the time frame stipulated by the ( Independent National Electoral ) Commission , ’’ Shaibu said in a statement issued in Abuja on Thursday , adding that “ everything that is required for this manipulation has been provided by the leadership of the party . ” Atiku said the implication of the plot was that even President Buhari , ‘ for all his sweet words on ensuring free and fair elections and avoiding unethical measures to win at all cost , ’ was ready to do anything just to ‘’ capture ’’ Zamfara and Katsina states for his party . The PDP presidential candidate , however , said although the plot was meant to put his party at a disadvantage , the ‘ PDP would not lose any sleep over the ignoble deal, since the battle to rescue Nigeria from incompetence and bad leadership would be fought by the people themselves and not by the Governor of Zamfara or President Buhari ’ s hatchet men. ’ Full Article: https://www.hgsmediaplus.com.ng/2019/01/buhari-has-cut-deal-with-yari-masari-to.html?m=1

"We're not doing a wall. Does anyone have any doubt that we're not doing a wall?

The new US House of Representatives, which is now controlled by Democrats, has approved legislation to end a two-week partial government shutdown without funding President Donald Trump's proposed wall along the border with Mexico. The lower chamber on Thursday - the 13th day of the shutdown - passed six bills to fund the government for 2019 and an additional bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security through February 8. However, the impasse is likely to remain as the Republican-controlled Senate is expected to block the legislation amid veto threats by the White House. Following a meeting between Trump and top congressional leaders on Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said the body would not take up the Democratic legislation because Trump wouldn't sign it. But the new House speaker, veteran Democrat Nancy Pelosi, stood firm shortly before Thursday's vote, saying no funding for a border wall would be made available. "We're not doing a wa...
