The Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram released a video online on Tuesday, rejecting the claims of the Nigerian military that it has been routed by a four-nation offensive, which doesn’t show Abubakar Shekau the group’s leader.

Abubakar Shekau

The speaker in the 10-minute message which was posted on the video-sharing site YouTube said “Most of our territory is still under our control”. He called Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger, who have been battling the Islamists, “the lying coalition partners”.
The video bears the new logo “Islamic State in West Africa” and follows the Nigerian militants’ pledge of allegiance in an audio message in March to the IS group, that has overrun large parts of Syria and Iraq.

The message is the first video released by the terrorist group since February, when Shekau vowed to disrupt Nigeria’s elections.

Shekau has featured prominently in most of the group’s videos over the last three years and his absence in the latest message will likely stir further debate on his whereabouts or possible death.

Boko Haram Victim Narrates How Shekau Occupied Her House

Nigeria’s military has claimed to have killed Shekau only for him to pop up on another video.

The speaker in the new message appears in front of two pick-up trucks, with four other gunmen visible in the background.

He speaks in the Hausa language that is dominant in northern Nigeria with Arabic and English subtitles.

An AK-47 rifle rests on his chest as he seeks to rebuke the claims of successes made in recent weeks by the military.

“The armies claim through the media that they captured our towns and that they assaulted Sambisa (forest) and defeated us,” he said, referring to the bushland area in Nigeria’s northeast Borno state that has been an Islamist stronghold.

Boko Haram Hostages Reveal Truth About Captivity As Militants Abduct More Women

“I swear by Allah that I am talking right now from Sambisa… Here in Sambisa you can travel more than four to five hours under the black flag of Islam by car or by motorbike.”

The video further shows gruesome violence, including executions of apparent civilians and one man in a Nigeria police uniform, who are shot at close range.
It was reported that on March 7, 2015 the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, in an audio message pledged allegiance to the richest and, probably, most powerful terrorist group Islamic State (ISIS).
The terrorist group recently stormed two Yobe towns, burning down a police station and several government buildings.

Spanish prosecutor charged Abubakar Shekau, Boko Haram leader, with terrorism and crimes against humanity.
The legal move is linked with the 2013 attack on a Spanish nun in the Nigerian town of Ganye, Reuters reports. It should be recalled that at least 25 people were killed in the bloody assault.
The court papers were issued on May 28, Thursday. Based on the documents, Maria Jesus Mayor was attacked on March 22. However she swiftly escaped into hiding and was rescued by the Nigerian military Foreign Currency Found On Dead Terrorist Leader
The state prosecutor used the fact there was a Spanish victim to bring a generic charges of crimes.
“This criminal act was committed against a background of terrorist activities that the jihadist organisation (Boko Haram) is carrying out systematically against people and communities,” the court document said as it listed deadly attacks carried out by Boko Haram in Africa’s most populous state since 2009.
The news has recently broke that Shekau had been purportedly captured in Borno state and taken to Niger Republic. However, there was no official confirmation of the story.
Meanwhile today Nigeria welcomed the new president in the office. Muhammadu Buhari and his vice, Yemi Osibnajo, were officially sworn in at the Eagle Square. In his inauguration speech the new leader vowed to deal with Boko Haram insurgency in the country.

A journalist Ahmad Salkida, who is known for close relationship and ties with terror Boko Haram sect leaders, claims that insurgents are still in control of a large portion of the North East of Nigeria.
Salkida made the claim via his Twitter account.
He said: “Yes, FG has seized the narrative on war on terror but apparently the narrative is not founded on the principles of safeguarding lives.”
The journalist added that sources say that Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has made video disproving many narratives.

No Cause For Alarm Over Boko Haram’s Retaking Of Marte
After the postponement of the general elections Nigerian army has achieved success in the war against Boko Haram insurgents.
About 1000 women and children were rescued from the notorious hideout of the terrorists.
Meanwhile, the Chibok girls are still being held in the captivity.

A former Boko Haram prisoner who was taken by the insurgents some 27 months ago reveals how the sect’s leader Abubakar Shekau treated her while she was his slave.

Abusidiqu gives her name as Meenah Dawah (not real name) and says she was pregnant for the sect’s leader. The escapee made this known in an exclusive chat with IQ4News’ Prince Dickson.
Dawah was forced to watch as her parents were killed in front her at 17 years old when the Boko Haram insurgents invaded her village in Konduga town, northern Nigeria. After 27 months under Shekau she escaped from the terrorists camp when it was invaded by military forces. She claimed to be carrying Shekau’s child.
She claimed that children born to Boko Haram commanders and members were under her watch. She also recalled how she would hear different girls scream as they were raped and was sometimes made to watch how girls were tortured for refusing to change their faith to Islam.
She recalls how she would be randomly visited by Boko Haram commanders for sex and during one of such visits, Abubakar Shekau also had sex with her.
SHOCKER: Boko Haram Escapee Discloses Where Shekau Is Hiding
“He would just appear from nowhere like a ghost. He seems to be panicking all the time and issuing instructions. He is a softly spoken man – it is almost as if he whispers, if you are meeting him for the first time, you would never be scared of him.
“But I soon learned that after every whisper something dangerous would happen somewhere in Nigeria. Depending on the camp, some of the camps have everything, electricity, water and television, with different kind of electronics.
“He once asked me if I was willing to fight for the cause, to which I answered no, he told me I could be a fighter and a domestic slave. I didn’t want to speak to him in case what I said offended him.
“All it would take was one wrong word and he would have had me killed. I thought he was drinking or taking something whenever he came, one could notice maybe he lost men or something was not right. We moved a lot and depending on the camp, my role varied, it was so tough travelling around with a baby strapped to my back.
“Abu has many kids from many different women. Some of us women would go to Maiduguri to buy things when we have shortage, and a commander or two would follow us, and we acted as decoy when villages are ambushed.
“I’d be sent in to talk to people, then they’d move in behind me and start killing.Some of us girls would also have to carry guns, and often bombs too, there was this girl, she was forced to carry a rocket-propelled grenade launcher on her shoulder, then we had few men in that particular camp,” she said.
Opinion: Even If Shekau Swears Allegiance To Satan, It Won’t Save Him From His Inevitable End
Dawah managed to escaped during a raid on a Boko Haram camp and had to seek safety after she was shot in the leg. The bullet in her leg was later removed at the University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital in Borno State. She has an uncle who is her sole relative survivor but claims he will not welcome her.
“My uncle will not have me because he is ashamed of my child whose paternity is not only questionable but is dangerous if it is Shekau.
“Before my parents were shot in the attack on our village, my dad had made plans for me to go and finish my secondary school in Government Girl Secondary School Shaffa, where we have a distant relative, but she was also killed in an attack on her way back from a market in that area.
“I know I am intelligent and willing to learn, but where do I start from?” she asked
Boko Haram under the leadership of Shekau, has been blamed for hundreds of other kidnappings, especially women and young girls across the North-Eastern region of Nigeria.
Two months ago, reports emerged that Shekau may have fled Nigeria through the help of Islamic State (ISIS) groups operating in East and North Africa.

Sexual violence is not just a woman’s problem, it is something that affects us all.
Every day, people of all ages are raped and it does not only affect the victim, it also affects the family and friends. It often leaves its victims marred for life, both physically and emotionally.
Rape happens everywhere. In some cultures, the women are blamed for being raped and they are punished.
We have been done a massive disservice by keeping the reality of rape in the shadows and this has spurred the rapists to keep on carrying their wicked act.
It turns out a whole lot of people know less than nothing about rape. When it comes to what people think and understand about rape, some have a lot of misconceptions.
Below are some things you should know.
1. Most of the victims are assaulted by someone they know and trust: Most people are sexually assaulted by relatives, trusted friends or even spouse.
2. Rape is one of the most under-reported crimes: Most women who are raped tell no one about the assault for fear of being criticized and labeled. Victims who have survived rape ordeals have been reluctant to speak about it for reasons such as the stigma attached to having been raped.
3. Rape is an act of power and control and does not happen out of sexual desire: A lot of people out there have sexual desires but they don’t go around raping people. So you can’t blame it sexual desire. If you have the urge, there are people out there who are willing, why force someone unwilling. MUST READ: 10 Things You Need to Know About Consuming Alcohol
4. Mere penetration is sufficient to constitute the offence of rape: Once you fail to prove penetration, the offence either becomes attempt to commit rape or indecent assault.
5. It’s not your fault: No one asks to be abused unless maybe you have problem. Therefore, the line of thought which blames the victim for what happened instead of holding the rapist accountable for his crime is wrong. Rape victims often times, blame themselves, believing it was because of something they did or did not do. What happened to you was a crime and you are not to blame for the assailant’s behavior.
6. Having carnal knowledge or sexual intercourse with a girl of less than 14-years even with her consent is rape because consent is immaterial here.
In the Northern part of Nigeria the definition of rape as contained under Section 282(1) of the Penal Code provides that: “A man is said to commit rape who … has sexual intercourse with a woman in any of the following circumstances:- (a) against her will; (b) without her consent; (c) with her consent, when her consent has been obtained by putting her in fear of death or of hurt; (d) with her consent, when the man knows that he is not her husband and that her consent is given because she believes that he is the man to whom she is or believes herself to be lawfully married; (e) with or without her consent when she is under fourteen years of age or of unsound mind.”
9 Ways To Protect Yourself In An Abusive Relationship
7. If you force your spouse, it is rape: Many countries including Nigeria consider sex in marriage an absolute right of the husband which can be taken with or without the consent of the wife. The very act of a woman refusing sex is unthinkable. Whether we agree or not, this is the truth.
Here is what the law says: Section 282, Cap 89 Penal Code Laws of the Federation says: “A man is said to commit rape who has sexual intercourse with a woman in any of the following circumstance: against her will; without her consent; with her consent, when the consent is obtained by putting her in fear of death or of hurt…”
In the South of Nigeria, the meaning of rape as enshrined in section 357 Cap C38 of Criminal Code states: “Any person who has unlawful carnal knowledge of a woman or girl, without her consent, or with her consent if the consent is obtained by force or by means of threat or intimidation of any kind, or by fear of harm, or by means of false or fraudulent representation as to the nature of the act or, in the case of married woman, by personating her husband, is guilty of an offence which is called rape.”

30 year old man, Atoku Odimegwu was arraigned at an Ikeja Magistrates’ Court Lagos for a rape related offence.
The accused who is a residence of 40, Ladejo Street, Ojodu Barger, Lagos is facing a one-count charge of attempted rape on his friend’s wife.
The prosecutor, Inspector Rachael Williams, told the court the accused, who is a construction company worker, committed the offence at his residence on June 30.Oshiomhole Moves To Stop Street Begging, Rape
She said on the said date, the 37 year old woman went to the accused person’s house to collect the money he was owing her husband “on getting to the house, the accused locked the door and told the woman that he loves her and wanted to make love to her.
“The woman, who said she could not believe what the husband’s friend wanted to do to her, begged him to allow her to go but the man was adamant and he forcefully pushed her to the ground.
“However, the attempt to rape the woman was unsuccessful even though the accused tore her underwear but she overpowered him.’’
According to the prosecutor, the offence contravened Section 260 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2011.
Having listened to the prosecutor, the Chief Magistrate, Mr. Tajudeen Elias said the accused pleaded not guilty and granted him bail in the sum of N250,000 with two sureties in like sum.
The Chief Magistrate ordered the accused to pay N50,000 into the Chief Registrar’s account as part of the bail condition and adjourned the case to August 19, 2015 for his trail.

A brave woman knocked out and choked the rapist unconscious after he assaulted her on her way home Cheltenham, England, UK.

Mark Willis bit off more than he could chew, when attacked a kickboxer who was on her way home in the early hours of the night. Willis attacked his victim, repeatedly punched her in the face, dragged her over a wall, threw into a garden and jumped on top of her, preparing for rape.

But the woman, who had two years of kickboxing and completed a self defence course, finally pulled herself together and fought back. She managed to put the man in a triangle choke – encircling the attacker’s neck and one arm with the legs legs in a configuration similar to the shape of a triangle until he lost consciousness.

Recalling that day the woman said: “He sat on top of me and told me that I had to be quiet and do as he said, otherwise he would hurt me. I cursed and screamed, I think I screamed that he will go to hell. He responded by hitting me in the face. My legs were still free so I lifted my left leg up onto his shoulder and around the back of his neck.
I crossed my right leg over and squeezed together as hard as I could. I closed my eyes and held it for as long as I could hoping he would pass out in a few seconds. Then I felt his body go limp. I thought he had lost consciousness or run out of air. I flipped him off, rolled over and crawled through the bushes to the door of the house.”

Willis was quickly arrested and admitted the attack but denied any sexual assault. But a jury convicted him of sexual assault and he was remanded in custody until sentencing. Meanwhile, the woman was awarded $700 as a “a tiny token of the court’s appreciation of what she has done to bring about the apprehension of Mr Willis.”

Top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) are reportedly upset over President Muhammadu Buhari’s refusal to name his cabinet after spending over a month in power.
Some APC leaders, who spoke to Thisday on the issue, opined that Buhari’s delay in constituting a cabinet may affect the current administration negatively-Buhari Avoids Meeting With Saraki, Because He Is Still Pained – Sources Disclose
The leaders who spoke on the condition of anonymity, viewed Buhari’s decision to delay the cabinet as a ploy by a “man who intends to shut out all the people who helped him win the election.”
One of them said, “We are beginning to believe that the suspense by Mr. President is deliberate. He is exploiting the delay to scare away people like us who helped him get to the top.
“Attempting to visit Mr. President when he was in the Defence House used to be a nightmare. With his movement into the State House, it has become almost impossible to see him. Tell me, how do you know what a man is thinking when you can’t see him?” he asked rhetorically.
Sources close to the former governor of Lagos state, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, also said the delayed appointments is also a ploy by some people to create a problem between their leader and the president.

“These days, you hardly see national leader (Tinubu) talking excitedly about the party or the government, apparently because he has been shut out and doesn’t know what is happening.
“The story is the same with former governor of Rivers State, Chibuike Amaechi. The situation is not helped by the pressure from their political foot soldiers seeking financial rehabilitation after being in the opposition for several years,” offered another source.
Some of the leaders are also worried about the president’s decision to rely on the Head of Service of the Federation, Danladi Kifasi, and the permanent secretaries to drive his administration’s policies.
They are also concerned that the delayed appointments may discourage potential foreign investors as Buhari administration do not yet have a clear economic direction.
“As things are, Nigeria appears to be in transition. The appointment of ministers and advisers will give the world an idea of the policy and economic direction of the administration. Without the appointments, no investor worth his salt will invest a dime. This is the simple truth,” another leader of the party said.

President Muhammadu Buhari is not happy over the All Progressives Congress (APC) battle for positions in his cabinet.

President Muhammadu Buhari (R)

Vanguard has learnt that at least seven members of party’s National Working Committee (NWC) have indicated interest in different ministerial positions.
Two of them are Engr. Segun Oni, deputy national chairman of the party, and Lai Mohammed, the national publicity secretary.
How President Buhari’s Cabinet Will Emerge
Nigeria’s leader is expected to send the list of his nominees to the National Assembly this week as both chambers of the federal arm of the power resume plenary on June 23, Tuesday and that he is not that much happy with the APC’s demand to be part of his cabinet.
Insider at the national party secretariat in Abuja who asked not to be named said that Oni who was the ex- governor of Ekiti state was lending on the slot of his state.
The source continued that his chances might be brighter as the present governor of his state, Ayo Fayose who is a member of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not likely to be provided the opportunity of suggesting a minister.
Meanwhile, he expressed fear that Oni might run into trouble with another former governor of the state, Kayode Fayemi who also played a visible role Muhammadu Buhari’s victory.
For Mohammed, his chances were thin as he would have to battle with the Senate President and ex-governor of Kwara state, Bukola Saraki as well as Kawu Baraje, the ex-leader of the nPDP who led the defection of G5 governors to APC in 2013.
Other APC NWC members said to be lobbying for different ministerial positions comprised the National Vice Chairman (North-east) Engr. David B. Lawal from Adamawa, National Youth Leader, Alhaji Dasuki Jalo from Gombe, National Women Leader, Alhaja Ramatu Tijjani from Kogi state and Emmanuel Eneukwu from Enugu state:Saraki, Doraga’s Emergence May Affect Buhari’s Cabinet
It was gathered that the members last week in a meeting to show their aims to APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun advising him to transmit same to Buhari.
But the insiders noted that the demands did not get the support of Oyegun who frowned at them.
“When the NWC members met with Buhari on the issue of ministerial appointment, though the national chairman refused to tender the request of some NWC members who want to be ministers to President Buhari, the only thing he told him was for his leadership to be carried along in the process.
“But it seems President Buhari knew what was about to happen, he told the party leaders right there not to contemplate becoming part of his cabinet, he told them to stay where they are and build a strong party”, the source said.
However, Garba Shehu, the presidential aide on media and publicity has said that the National Assembly current recess is responsible for the delay in announcement of ministerial list.
It should be also mentioned that Lagos lawyer dragged the president to court and pointed out extreme delay in the formation of Buhari’s cabinet as lone ranger as well as in a dictatorial style.

One of Nigeria’s most controversial entertainers Charly Boy has written to President Muhammadu Buhari over delaying to appoint the ministers.

The singer gives his opinions in the article on Ex Link Lodge.
Buhari: Why There Is So Much Anxiety Over Ministers?
Read his message below:
Charly Boy said: “How come everyone is on Buhari to present ministerial list? Every quarter you go, you hear people mumbling about the ministerial list like as if once the list is out, our problems as a nation will be solved.
“I ask, are these mumblings because we are truly eager to see the new government kick into action and begin to address our numerous problems or because guys are arranging their hookups and connections. I am of the opinion that who makes the list or not is not as important as what they plan to bring to the table because that’s what will guarantee the change we are all looking for.
“I trust the president has a mind of his own, at least events seem to bring that home so no fears of impositions. It is time to wait patiently as the president kick starts his agenda. Be rest assured that if your father or someone you know makes the list, it might not be a good time to rejoice and draw out those lists of miserable yet money gulping projects that sign off government money in the name of contracts to family and friends because this time, Buhari will be watching and acting and hmmnn…

It should be noted that while Nigerians are awaiting the ministerial nominees that will be forwarded to the Senate, President Buhari wondered why there is so much anxiety over his cabinet.

The task of delivering on promises
President Buhari first appointments
The search for “good people”
People being considered to play a part

The views and opinions expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of Naij.com.
(Punch) After the euphoria of the May 29 inauguration ceremony, President Muhammadu Buhari and the governing All Progressives Congress are now faced with the task of delivering on promises they made to Nigerians during the electioneering.
Prominent among promises contained in the ‘Change’ slogan of the APC is the revamping of the nation’s economy and the security of lives and property of citizens.
Enormous as these challenges appear, the governing party has declared that it has the capacity to frontally deal with these and other problems requiring urgent government attention.
“Buhari Simply Hit The Ground And Sat Down There”
To deliver on these promises, Buhari must first select a team that will give life to his vision for building a new Nigeria.
It has been one week since the inauguration, but the new President has only announced three appointments. They are that of Mr. Femi Adesina, Special Adviser, (Media and Publicity); Malam Garba Shehu, Senior Special Assistant (Media and Publicity); and Malam Lawal Kazaure as the State Chief of Protocol.
He has, however, asked for and obtained approval from the Senate to appoint 15 special advisers to assist him.
Many Nigerians are eager to have him unveil members of the Federal Executive Council who will head the various ministries.
Buhari had earlier announced his decision to move away from the practice where governors literally picked ministers for the President.
He said in an interview, “I have been around long enough to know people that I can approach for things like that. Deliberately, we will look for competent people, dedicated and experienced to head ministries and, of course, there will be schedules for ministers and we will expect them to fill them.
“Certainly, there is a lot to do but we are hoping that we will get good people to be in charge of ministries who can apply themselves to their responsibilities so that in no time, Nigerians would begin to see the difference.”
The search for “good people” has reached an advanced stage and some names have begun to make the rounds as possible picks.
Buhari has been holding a series of meetings within and outside the country to feel the pulse of the leadership as well as competing interests within and outside the party to come to a compromise.
Buhari: Second Week, 5 Major Challenges
National chairman of the APC Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, confirmed this to journalists in Abuja.
In a veiled reference to ongoing consultations over ministerial appointments, Odigie-Oyegun, said, “All I can say is that, Mr. President is committed to carrying the party along in everything that he does and we are very grateful for that.
“He has always been like that, he has put the party in the front burner in all the things he has done at all times and he has continued to do that.”
In the interim, there are strong indications that several known faces, especially prominent members of the APC as well as technocrats from previous administrations, will make the new cabinet.
Due to immense contributions of a former Lagos state governor, Asiwaju Ahmed Tinubu, to the merger and the success of the APC in the 2015 general elections, he is expected to nominate at least three cabinet members.
Although the exact portfolios are still being kept under wraps, it was gathered that a Tinubu protégé, Mr. Wale Edun, is to play a key role in managing the nation’s finances.
Edun, a former Commissioner of Finance in Lagos state, is being considered to head the Ministry of Finance.
Deputy Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Senator Olorunnibe Mamora, is expected to make the cut as a member of the Federal Executive Council.
A Critical Assessment On Buhari’s First Week As President
Former Governor of Ekiti state, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, who is said to be very close to the President, is also expected to play a prominent cabinet role in the Buhari’s administration. His possible nomination is said to be ruffling some feathers in the Tinubu’s camp.
Other names being mentioned include that of the National Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, who is being considered for the headship of the Information Ministry.
A Second Republic Minister of Communications, Chief Audu Ogbeh, who was the face of the Buhari campaign before the APC Presidential primary, is also being considered for ministerial appointment.
To douse growing tension within the party, its leadership will be allowed to nominate a few cabinet members, who must pass the integrity test set by Buhari.
Immediate past governors – Babatunde Fashola(Lagos); Rotimi Amaechi(Rivers); and Rabiu Kwankwaso(Kano) – are among some of the names being considered.
If feelers coming from the Buhari camp are anything to go by, Fashola, who was in charge of the APC Presidential Campaign Committee, may emerge as the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
His supporters said his sterling performance as governor and his background as a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, have long before now attracted Buhari’s interest.
Influential members of the party also suggest that Kwankwaso, who will join his colleagues to be inaugurated as a Senator next week, may be given the right of first refusal for the position of Minister of the Federal Capital Territory.
If he is offered and he accepts, it will be a continuation of what is slowly becoming a tradition by successive administrations to pick ministers of the FCT from the Senate.
The late President Umaru Yar’Adua picked Senator Adamu Aliero from the Senate as FCT minister and his successor, former President Goodluck Jonathan, picked Senator Bala Mohammed as his Minister for the FCT, also from the Senate.
Close associates of the President, making a case for the former Kano state governor, claimed that his performance in Kano state, as well as his political clout, which was demonstrated during the APC presidential primaries, will come in handy in getting things done.
Although some have argued that the South-East geo-political zone has literally shut itself out of contention for principal positions in the National Assembly, it is entitled to a statutory ministerial slot.
A former Anambra state governor, Senator Chris Ngige, is being considered to fill the position.
Ngige, a medical doctor, who until his foray into politics, rose to the position of Director in the Federal Ministry of Health, is also being considered for ministerial position.
In addition, the South-East is also to produce the next Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
A former national chairman of the defunct All Nigeria Peoples Party, Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, appears set to be announced as SGF.
In the area of security, a former Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Abdurrahman Dambazau (retd.), is being tipped to occupy the position of National Security Adviser.

The former Army Chief holds a Doctorate degree in Criminology, and served as Director of Security and Intelligence of the Buhari campaign organisation.
A former Military Administrator of Kaduna state, Col. Hameed Ali (retd.), who played the role of Buhari’s Chief of Staff before the general elections, is also being considered for a yet-to-be-verified role in the President’s cabinet.
Women are not left out of the permutations of possible entrants into the elite class of public servants cum political appointees. One such name is Hajiya Hadiza Usman, one of the leading promoters of the #BringbackourGirls# campaign.
Apart from those being considered for ministerial positions, some former as well as serving APC governors are to remain influential in the president’s decision making process.
They include but not limited to the Edo state Governor, Adams Oshiomhole; and the new Governor of Kaduna state, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai.
Lai Mohammed, however, dismissed as mere speculation the list of ministers being “bandied” in the papers and on the social media.
“These are mere speculations. When the names are ready, it will be made public using the appropriate channels. Why don’t you wait? It will not take time,” he said.
One thing however stands out. There is a strong likelihood that the Buhari administration will lead a lean cabinet considering its anti-corruption posture as well as the austere lifestyle of the President. How Buhari navigates the challenge of conflicting interests to form his cabinet will define the character of his administration in the years ahead.

While the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari, delayed with forming of the transition committee, the media has revealed a new list of the ministers who will include in All Progressives Congress (APC) administration.
According to FrontiersNews Chibuke Rotimi Amaechi, the Director General of Buhari Campaign Organisation and the governor of Rivers, from the South South geo political zone will head the incoming APC government’s cabinet as Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Lai Mohammed has been written down as presidential spokesperson.

After the concluding of the presidential poll the most significant question becomes how the president-elect will form his cabinet.
It should be noted that people who helped on his way to the victory played a key role in the compiling the minister’s list.

After the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) won the presidential poll, intensive internal campaigning has started over the formation of the cabinet of the president-elect, Muhammadu Buhari.
Though some candidates have been marked down for definite offices, the selection of those to fill the sought-after “juicy” positions may not be an easy task, as powerful party members and others who gave Buhari support from outside the APC are pushing their own nominees.
According to Daily Post, the former Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) governor, Professor Chukwuma Charles Soludo, may have been offered the Ministry of Finance in the Buhari government by the ex-president Olusegun Obasanjo.
GMB And Tinubu Disagree On Ministers, Transition Team? Soludo was a member of the economic team for the Obasanjo government prior to becoming the governor of the CBN.
Many APC leaders are said to be against him. One of the reasons is that Soludo remains a card-carrying member of the All Progressive Grand Alliance.
The other is that it was under Soludo that the banking sector almost collapsed, a situation confirmed by the former CBN chief and Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, a loyal supporter of the APC.
The former Lagos state governor, Bola Tinubu, is considered also to be strongly against Obasanjo’s recommendation.
Sources say he had in fact agreed a contract with Buhari prior to the APC presidential primaries regarding appointments to ministerial positions.
Tinubu is said to have drafted an agreement with Buhari, to which the president-elect added his signature.
Tinubu Is A Gray Cardinal Behind President Jonathan’s Defeat
According to the accord, the former Lagos governor will name nine ministers.
Some of the positions are said to comprise Petroleum, Finance, Works, Federal Capital Territory and Interior.
It is for this reason that Tinubu opposes Soludo as minister of finance.
Soludo is reported to have been persuaded by Obasanjo to accept the nomination.
Tinubu is now reportedly pulling the strings for President-elect Buhari’s transition team. Buhari is expected to constitute his transition team which will consist of politicians and private sector players that will enable his smooth takeover from the leaving President Goodluck Jonathan government.

Nigeria’s former finance minister, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, has fired back at Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo state over his allegations.
Reports say the former supervising minister of the economy stated that the governor is suffering from numerical diarrhea after he alleged that she took $1billion to fund the re-election bid of former president Goodluck Jonathan.

Governor Oshiomhole Speaks On FG’s Financial Condition
PM News reports that a statement issued by Paul C Nwabuikwu, media adviser to Okonjo-Iweala, described Oshiomhole’s accusations as “another false, baseless allegation” against Okonjo-Iweala by Oshiomhole.
“The allegation by Governor Adams Oshiomhole of Edo State that former Minister of Finance Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala spent $1 billion out of the Excess Crude Account to fund the re-election bid of former President Jonathan is the kind of ludicrously false statement that has unfortunately become a trademark of the Governor in his public campaign of falsehood against Dr Okonjo-Iweala.
“The statement is just another example of the numerical diarrhea that seems to have afflicted His Excellency in recent times in his effort to damage the reputation of the former Minister.
“He has, within the last few months, asked Dr Okonjo-Iweala to explain all kinds of totally wild and unsubstantiated figures, ranging from $30 billion, $20 billion, $2.1 billion, N720 billion and now $1 billion,” the statement read.

The statement read further: “Governor Oshiomhole’s published comments also contain other falsehoods. For instance, he quoted Dr Okonjo-Iweala as saying that she and the Finance Commissioners of the 36 states approved the spending of $2.1 billion out of the Excess Crude Account, adding that the Commissioners had disowned the statement. This is also a complete distortion.

“Dr Okonjo-Iweala never said the Federation Accounts Allocation Committee (FAAC) approved spending out of the ECA. Rather as the Commissioners themselves stated, the former Minister of State Finance informed them that former President Jonathan approved the expenditure to end the debilitating fuel queues across the country.
“As Nigerians know, the Finance Ministry under Okonjo-Iweala regularly published details of revenue allocations from the ECA in national media. So Oshiomhole’s tortured “calculations” based on his “four figure tables” are mere political numbers conjured to achieve a political purpose. Nigerians can see through the elaborate antics.
Your Tenure Was A Disaster- Oshiomhole To Okonjo-Iweala
“Governor Oshiomhole’s latest statement, like earlier ones, labours to give the impression that the entire FAAC process which involves the Federal Government and the 36 states of the Federation is a personal monopoly of Dr Okonjo-Iweala.
“This is, of course not true. FAAC is a long standing national platform for allocating revenues chaired by the Minister of State Finance. The governor’s insistence on pushing this clearly fictional narrative underscores his desperation.
“It is instructive that Governor Oshiomhole is a key member of the committee set up by the National Economic Council to investigate the ECA spending. His continuing attacks against Dr Okonjo-Iweala seem to suggest that he has lost confidence in this platform which he deployed to make some of his initial false and baseless allegations. The Governor does not seem to appreciate that he is undermining the very credibility of the committee.
“Once again, we ask: why are Oshiomhole and his cohorts so ready to sacrifice truth, precedent and decency in this political witch hunt against Dr Okonjo-Iweala? We are confident that they will fail because truth will triumph.”
The governor recently accused the ex-minister of being economical with the truth on how the Excess Crude Account (ECA) fund was spent by the federal government.

This is following his inability to pay the salaries of his church workers who earn their living with Infinity Media, a communication outfit owned by his church.

Christ Embassy Church, will on Thursday take to the streets of Lagos State, southwest Nigeria, to protest the non payment of their salaries.
According to PM News, the workers are accusing some top pastors of the church of playing politics with their salaries, while blaming Pastor Ifeoma Chiemeka for refusing to approve the payment of their arrears.
The Pastor is said to be following a directive that was issued by the Head Pastor and President of Believers Loveworld, Pastor Oyakhilome.
The aggrieved workers stated that in December 2014, some of them were retrenched and paid off while a few that remained were overworked and also denied their salaries which prompted them to petition the Lagos State Mediation Centre in April 2015 for intervention.
The workers also alleged to have sent Pastor Adegoke Adebayo and Pastor Ike Nnoli to represent them at the Mediation Centre and the parties agreed to meet again on May 22, 2015 after the workers might have been paid.

But the pastors refused to honour the agreement and also failed to show up at the adjourned date, a situation which has infuriated them and they (the workers) have now resolved to go on a peaceful protest on Thursday this week to draw the attention of Oyakhilome and Nigerians to their plight.
The controversial pastor, who was involved in a divorce mess with estranged wife Anita, over allegations that the clergyman was involved in extramarital affairs, has reportedly settled the impasse between them.

Editor’s note: Emmanuel Bello has described the probable reasons why President Muhammadu Buhari is still looking for his ministers. He narrates two tales of his epic search for the men and women, who would make or mar the Buhari’s records in office.

Story highlights:

Spiritual way the president is going about ministers;
The tale about Buhari’s ministers;
APC governors make a list of five top people;
Ministers will be human beings with all their foibles;
These angels will finally unveiled in the “fullness of time.”

(Today Newspaper) – I don’t know about you but I have heard plenty chatters, concerning President Buhari’s near elusive search for ministers (read, angels).
Yes, they could only be angels, judging by the painstaking, almost spiritual way the president is going about it. Looking for saints in a country full of sinners was never going to be easy, anyway.
The first tale I heard was how one bright morning, President Buhari drew up a list of his best 19 Nigerians and showed his aides. The aides studied the list and started laughing. Half of the names on the ministerial list were either dead or down with old-age related illnesses, such as rheumatism and stroke. Obviously, Buhari didn’t have this information. While I haven’t independently verified the story, I won’t put it past this president. Anyone who exhumes the legendary Ahmed Joda and appoints him head of a transition committee is capable of anything.

The second story said the president directed the All Progressives Congress (APC) governors to make a list of five top people in their states who can be appointed into various positions. The excited men went home and drew up the list. After receiving their submission, Buhari perfunctorily asked: “Are you sure these are your best hands?” They all answered in the affirmative. After a few minutes of looking at the list again, the president repeated the question. The governors, almost bemused now, bawled out that the list was the best they could possibly cobble together.
The next thing the president did shocked them. He handed them the list and said “since these are the best hands you have got, why not use them in your individual states? Why bring them to Abuja when they could be more useful to you in your state? Please, keep them and ensure you use them to develop your states. If all APC states become symbols of good governance, the entire nation would be better for it. So, take them back to your states.”
Needless to say, the governors left in a huff. Now, this tale may well be fictional as I wasn’t there to verify, but it is being quipped that the president has said he would not get his ministers from the state governors.
If he won’t pick their team for them, why should they pick his? This makes sense but when you ponder where Buhari would get his ministers and Special Advisers, you are forced to think twice about this wisdom.
First, whether he likes it or not, for a certain spread and balance, his nominees would have to come from the states. It is as simple as that. And Buhari can’t know the states better than the governors.
Secondly, they would be human beings with all their foibles. But above all, they would be fellow Nigerians with all the traits of our countrymen and women. They would be Nigerians, who are adept in the game of eating a slice of the pie. They would be Nigerians, who know exactly how a minister ought to live the big life.

Believe me, there is a template already for how ministers should live, dating to the earliest period of our modern life. Have you forgotten the flamboyant Festus Okotieboh and other heroes past? There exists an unwritten manual on the number of cars, personal aides, and even accommodation the big men should have. I don’t know how the president plans to change all of that. A minister is a minister.
Or are we about to have a set of ministers who would live in our neighborhoods, dress like us, drive in the same traffic and, God forbid, even go to the same markets? If the president thinks that by delaying and praying deep into the night, he would eventually get a bunch of angels as his team, then he is in for a reality slap. Where is he going to find such men and women? It is like looking for the perfect spouse. There is no such creature.
And the president has another headache, as he plans to pick only 19 ministers from a country of 36 states and 170 million people. The question is what criteria is he going to use? Age, pedigree, credibility profile, competence, electoral value or his personal relationship with the fellows?
Maybe, that is why the framers of the nation’s constitution said the Federal Executive Council should consist of, at least, one nominee from the 36 states – a provision Buhari doesn’t like.
Those who defend the president say a minister each from the states would be too expensive in a time of austerity. But what do you do about this constitutional provision? Ignore it and get a tribe of lawyers, chasing you? Under the old dispensation, getting your ministers wasn’t such a big deal. The president would have been relaxed by now, allowing the governors to slug the matter out. And back at the states, it would have been a rat race as the governors and the henchmen spend hours, figuring out what names to send to the president.
In the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) state, for example, it would have just been a matter of zoning. So, if the governor and his deputy were from, say zone A and zone B, the next thing is for the minister to come from Zone C.
Balancing and a certain amount of fairness were the watchword of the PDP as far allocation of offices was concerned. Another crucial credential was the electoral value of the nominee. Even now, in most states, the governors would pick a team that would best deliver them the badly needed votes on re-election day. What of competence? Well, that is important too, but strategic positing of people for electoral success is the number one consideration.

In any case, most of the appointees at the state levels are, sometimes, professionals in various fields. A doctor, for instance, may grab the ministry of health as commissioner, while a financial expert heads the finance ministry. A lawyer in the team may end up becoming the Attorney General, while a reporter normally gets the information portfolio. The other appointments might just be reward for the victory (jobs for the boys). And there is nothing outlandish about this.
When people have laboured to usher in a government, they sure deserve a piece of the action, don’t you think? I hope the president knows all of these, as he continues his epic search for the men and women, who would make or mar his records in office. For the rest of us, we are excitedly waiting to see who these angels are when he finally unveils them in the “fullness of time.”
