Return ICC mgt to Messrs Integrated Facility Management Services Ltd, Developer tells Wike

…warns Tinubu of the looming dangers of Wike’s rascality

A patriotic Nigerian, Dominic Albert has asked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to call on Nyesom Wike to order and curtail many of his excesses as the FCT Minister.

Albert a property developer and an Indigene of River State said the behavior of Wike in recent times in managing the affairs of FCT is violating the laid down rules and breaking down the Nigerian constitution.

Albert accused Wike of being a sycophant and hypocrite, politicking the office for political vendetta and settling scores with political opponents.

According to him the illegal withdrawal of the contract between those that manage International Conference Center Abuja, part of Abuja Investment Company Limited (AICL), and the federal government in recent times is a pure show of lawless decision that a Man of his worth should not exhibit.

He Worried how a company, Messrs Integrated Facility Management Services Ltd that has entered a leasing agreement with the federal government to manage part of the International Conference Center (ICC) was illegally disengaged without following due process.

He said the contract revocation was carried out to settle political differences rather than working on the overall interest of the general public.

Albert revealed that the appointment of Amb (Dr) Maureen Tamuno as the new MD of AICL is to fight Governor Fubara and used the former Nigerian High Commissioner to Jamaica, Belize, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic to chase out the former MD because is not in his good books of records.

He said the handing over of ICC to Messrs Julius Berger Nig Plc to Carry out comprehensive renovation of the International Conference Center is nothing than a brazing show of wickedness against the loyal members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which is having most of its members as competent contractors to equally do a perfect job.

Albert called on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to checkmate the excesses of Wike, his actions are tantamount to destroying Nigerians, especially those who sacrificed their life, and their resources in bringing in the current government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

He foretold the Political downfall of the River State’s former Governor and described him as a destiny destroyer who arrogates himself undue power of a demagogue with a sooner possible disgrace because is getting on the Nerves of so many Nigerians.

“”As a matter of urgency, I’m calling on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to remove Wike from being the minister of FCT. Is causing more harm than good as it’s presumed.

“What is doing is more of creating a crisis by fighting his perceived enemies and empowering his own political stooges in preparation for the 2027 election. I don’t think is working for the interest of Tinubu. Tinubu should be more careful with him, I’m seeing a serious political fight between the two of them. The Wike-led faction will certainly fight him. It’s on record Wike is a betrayer and an ambitious politician who wants to rule by all means.

” The land revocation and destruction of people’s properties in Abuja, if you check it well they are all a plan to fight some people penned down as his enemies,” Albert said

He said as a matter of fairness let the management of ICC be returned to Messrs Integrated Facility Management Services Ltd because the terms of the agreement have not yet relapsed.

“I know the company very well, they have been managing ICC perfectly and no cause for alarm until the unwise decision Wike took last weekend.” He said

Comrade Musa Mohammed fault Tinubu’s ‘clannish’ appointments of film makers.

Comrade Musa Mohammed fault Tinubu’s ‘clannish’ appointments of film makers.

A member of All Progressives Congress (APC), in Kaduna state, Comrade Musa Mohammed has faulted the ‘clanish’ nature of appointments made by President Bola Tinubu since he assumed office on May 29.

Comrade Mohammed made his position known in a press statement issued to newsmen on Thursday in Kaduna.

Part of the statement reads;

Mr President, i want to call your attention as member of your party – the All Progressives Congress (APC) to express our deep concern about the perceived imbalances in your political appointments so far.

I understand that you are entitled to appoint people you trust and believe in, as a stakeholder in the All Progressive Congress (APC), under which you assumed office as President of Nigeria, reserve the right to urge you to consider the importance of appointing Politicians not film makers.

I need not remind you Mr. President, of the circumstances surrounding your election victory, to do the heavy lifting needed, votes-wise, for your victory. Shunning them for those APC members across nigeria who stood by and did pitifully little is not how to reward their tremendous labour of love on behalf of your successful aspiration.

Mr. President, we all know that the film makers are those people who did not stake their all during the elections, forgetting people who put in their all to help actualize your dream to become President.

Mr. President, i urge you to reconsider your approach to political appointments and to make a concerted effort and stop giving the film makers politcal appointment.

This is to ensure that good and capable Nigerians politicians who contributed during the 2023 presidential campaign have a fair chance to contribute to the development of our country through politcal appointment and to live in a united and prosperous nation.

One of the duties of the President is to ensure that the government is representative of the people. By appointing good and capable people, not those that can’t make any impact, you will be fulfilling this duty and living up to the oath you took as President. This is the only way to ensure that all Nigerians have a fair chance at contributing to the development of our country and to live in a united and prosperous nation.

Mr. President, kindly fix the “improper appointments of film makers” made by your administration so as not to add to the list of fault lines already threatening the advancement of the country.

“The practice smacks of nepotism, favouritism, sectionalism and tribalism. Nigerians must never encourage, promote, or tolerate it. The president should quickly retreat from this lack of pan-Nigerianism. As a nation, we are already grappling with serious existential challenges; improper appointments should not be one of them at all.”

I hope Mr. President, you will take action to Immediately, and address the issue raised.

Dollar crash: Wamakko tasks traders on compassion

Dollar crash: Wamakko tasks traders on compassion

Senator Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko has passionately appealed to traders in the country to ease the pains of inflation by selling goods at discounted rates.

The lawmaker’s appeal is coming in the wake of the crash of the dollar from an all-time rate of N1,900 down to N1,250, saying this 40% increase in Naira’s value offers a golden opportunity for traders to demonstrate their compassionate side as Nigerians.

Wamakko made the appeal during Ramadan breakfast with some senior officials of the Sokoto State Government and prominent people from the academia at his Gawon Nama Sokoto residence on Tuesday.

He said those traders who have been complaining that the rise in the value of dollar against the naira has made it difficult to bring down can now leverage on the new opportunity to demonstrate their compassion, especially in this holy month.

The lawmaker explained that the leadership of the traders’ association, especially in Sokoto state need to prevail on their members to lower the high costs of the goods to ease the suffering in the land, by taking advantage of government’s unrelenting efforts to revive the Naira.

It would be recalled that the naira, on Monday, appreciated to N1,250 per dollar at the parallel section of the foreign exchange (FX) market.
