*NIGERIAN ARMY TROOPS SUBDUE BOKO HARAM CRIMINALS RESCUE AN OCTOGENARIAN AND OTHER INNOCENT CITIZENS*

In their reinvigorated  drive to end the insurgency in the North East, Nigerian Army troops have continued to sustain the tempo of the ongoing Counter Terrorism and Counter Insurgency operations in the North East with a view to decimating and destroying the remnant Boko Haram/Islamic State West Africa (ISWAP) criminals across the Operation LAFIYA DOLE Theatre. In one of the numerous operations conducted across the Theatre today, 16 November 2019, troops of 26 Task Force Brigade embarked on a Clearance Patrol to Dalu Village within the Mandara Mountains in Gwoza Local Government Area of Borno State following credible intelligence report on the presence of some of the criminal insurgents in that area. Fortunately, the report was confirmed as the troops soon established contact with the marauding terrorists and effectively subdued them with their superior fire power during the ensuing fire fight. Subsequently, the troops proceeded to thorough clear the Village of the presence of the criminal  insurgents. The clearance operation yielded good dividends as the troops found and rescued an octogenarian, 3 women and 4 children hitherto held captives by the criminal insurgents. The rescued victims were promptly evacuated and children among them were equally administered with Polio Vaccination by a Nigerian  Army medical team. Interestingly, no causality was recorded by own troops during the commando operations. However, many of the Boko Haram criminal elements were observed to have fled in disarray towards the summit of Mandara Mountains with gunshot wounds.
The troops’ resilience and doggedness are unwavering as further exploitation to complete the annihilation of the insurgents is being sustained in the mountainous environment. 

The Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai wishes to reassure the general public of the resolve of the Nigerian Army to continue to execute our constitutional mandate professionally and responsively for a better secured Nigeria. He also thanks all well-meaning Nigerians for their continued support, goodwill and understanding towards officers and men of the Nigerian Army as they sustain the conduct of various operations and routine exercises nationwide.

You are kindly requested to disseminate above information to the general public for their awareness. Thank you for your usual cooperation.

APC Lambasts Fintiri, Says he is using Mass sacking of civil servants to cut cost of governance in Adamawa

The All Progressive Congress (APC), has called on Nigerians and Adamawa residents to disregard renewed attack of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) led administration in Adamawa against civil servants in the state. The organising Secretary of APC in Adamawa state, Ahmed Lawal who made the call during a press briefing held in Yola said the PDP has lost focus and is looking for saving grace and point to resell it lies and fake promises of workers welfare to the people hence their frivolous attack and blaming Bindow on their current woes that bedevil their administration.

“All the statements issued by the SSG, Head of service and director general to the governor on media is a direct indictment on the administration of Fintiri, as the plot to justify the mass sack has exposed the cluelessness of the Fintiri led state government in Adamawa and it shows that there four government in one in Adamawa, which of the statement do we follow?

“it is unfortunate that Fintiri led state government lack coordination hence different statements issued by four aides of the governor on same issue with different response, we expect the governor to jettison his continued vicious sack of selected civil servants in the state as it crystal clear to all that Fintiri led government is using mass sack of civil to reduce cost of governance in Adamawa not the due process they are using as face saving measure to continue their evil plots against the innocent civil servants in the state.

“We are using this opportunity to call on Gov. Fintiri to forfeit his security votes or reduce numbers of vehicle in his convoy as Bindow has demonstrated same by using sometime two vehicle or less motorcade in his convoy, as the current administration is known to be using siren to intimated voters and tax payers.

“It is disheartening that Gov. Fintiri choose to move civil servants from the state polytechnic to other agency due to the high cost of salary payment by the polytechnic and still yet pretending to return workers to their mother ministry all in the name of due process not followed in transfer of service, all this happening in the polytechnic is a ploy by the governor to drastically reduce high cost of salary payment in the state by using civil servants as scape goat.

“As for the issue surrounding the controversial sacking of workers in the state, the PDP government in Adamawa statements about waiver granted by senator Bindow is misleading as the former governor of the state, Senator Bindow is not the executor of the waiver granted to any parastatals under the state government in Adamawa.

“There is no employments even in the Federal civil service that does not required waiver from the President of the country before execution, why is Fintiri led state government building mountain out of nothing over employments done under Sen. Bindow’s administration.

“we challenged Fintiri’s government to come of the hiding and blame game and tell the people that he want to reduce cost of recurrent expenditures in order for him to pay the minimum wage without stress and finally since there is not capital projects we expect Fintiri to face the promotion arrears of Adamawa workers and see it to logical conclusion.

Lawal berated Fintiri administration for keeping seal lips over FAAC allocation to Adamawa without no single capital project since May 2019.

The letter, titled, “Stand-Down of Appointment of Staff Employed Between 2017-2019,” said those affected should hand over all school properties in their possession.

“The Implementation Committee of the 2019 Visitation Panel to the polytechnic, set up by His Excellency, Alhaji Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri, has approved the stand-down of your appointment.

“By this letter, you are directed to hand over all polytechnic materials to your Head of Department.

“The management wishes to thank you for the services you have rendered to the polytechnic during this period,” the letter said.

2023: EX-PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT DECLARES SUPPORT FOR TINUBU

2023: EX-PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRANT DECLARES SUPPORT FOR TINUBU

A former Presidential candidate of the National Action Council (NAC), Dr. Olapade Agoro, has urged northern leaders to forget about retaining power in the zone beyond 2023 but rally round the perceived presidential ambition of a former Governor of Lagos State, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Agoro, who made this call while speaking with journalists at his Apata, Ibadan residence, declared that it was wrong for political associates of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar to roll out the drums once again, calling on the former Vice President to run in 2023.

He noted that Tinubu, who is the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), is known to be an arch-supporter of northern Presidential candidates right from 2007, saying the 2023 should be a pay back time for the north to reciprocate the support given by Tinubu to Atiku in 2007, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu in 2011, and incumbent President Muhammodu Buhari in 2015 and 2019.

Specifically, Agoro explained that without the inputs of the APC National Leader, who used his resources, influence and political sagacity, it would have been difficult for President Buhari to win the 2015 Presidential election.

He also said that it will be morally wrong for the north to agitate for the 2023 Presidency, owing to the fact that “the just concluded 2019 Presidential election was wrongly tilted in favour of the northern part of Nigeria that presented Buhari and Atiku, the two popular candidates for the election.

“It became obvious that the 2019 election was meant to serve the interest of the north. The management of the election by INEC was also one – eyed looking wrongly in favour of the north.

“Otherwise, how do we explain that the two popular candidates from the north polled about 40 million votes, leaving other 69 candidates with less than one million votes?”

Agoro added that care must be taken this time around to ensure fairness and fair play, insisting that the south should be allowed to have its own slot.
