<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Council heads in the Kazakh capital have launched an investigation after cannabis plants began sprouting up in flowerbeds in the city centre.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Local people in Astana City noticed an unusual aroma as they walked down Auezova Street and alerted the authorities when they found thousands of marijuana plants flourishing in the flower beds that line the road.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The city council are now investigating whether the planting of the marijuana was a simple mistake or a deliberate act of guerilla gardening.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mihail Malorod was one of the residents who first noticed the plants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I was walking down the street when I saw these cute plants at the junction of Auezova Street and Dzhangeldina Street", he said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"What a nice little flowerbed, I thought."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Marat Asymbaev added: "What is that was the idea of the police? What if they wanted to catch all the junkies in our city?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A spokesman for Zelenstroy, an urban gardening service who are contracted by the council to tend for the city's flowerbeds, said that the company is running its own internal investigation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"If they are marijuana plants we will remove them immediately", he said.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>President Jonathan has asked president-elect Buhari not to single out his administration for any probe his administration may carry out when he assumes power.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speaking during the valedictory session of the Federal Executive Council in Abuja today May 27, President Jonathan said those who are calling for probe should also demand for probe on how oil wells were allocated in past administrations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recall the Former Defence Minister last week called on Gen Buhari to probe the GEJ administration when he assumes power.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Some people are even calling for the probe of the government, but I think in Nigeria, there are a lot of many things that will be probed, very many things, even debts owed by states and debts owed by this country from 1960 up to this time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"They say it is Jonathan's administration that owes these debts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"I believe that anybody that is coming for probe must also ensure that this probe is extended beyond the Jonathan administration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Otherwise, to me, it will be witch-hunt.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"If we are very sincere, it is not only the Jonathan administration that should be probed", he said.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Bayelsa State and former Commissioner for Agriculture, and Environment, Chief Lionel Jonathan-Omo, has appealed to the incoming president, Muhammad Buhari to exercise caution in probing the outgoing administration of President Goodluck Jonathan.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Chief Jonathan-Omo, attempts to prosecute Jonathan by the incoming administration might cause violent uprising in the Niger Delta and should be avoided completely.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jonathan-Omo made the remarks Wednesday in Yenagoa during a chat with newsmen while presenting a 54 page letter to President-Elect Muhammad Buhari and titled "Road map to Success".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Addressing Buhari, he said: “As you take over power please don’t prosecute or persecute President Jonathan, you will indirectly provoke a recrudescence of violence in the Niger Delta. Young boys will hang on that as a subterfuge to cause violent uprising again in the Niger Delta. Avoid it completely.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said he is convince that with the antecedents of Buhari and his deep sense of integrity and discipline, he will fix Nigeria, although not immediately. “I am convinced that Buhari will succeed because of his unflagging desire to rule Nigeria. He has an internal motivation to do the job, and that internal motivation will transform to vision,” he said.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement read: “Osun State House of Assembly has finally passed the law creating additional 31 local council development authorities, three Area councils and two administrative units.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“At a plenary session presided over by the Speaker, Rt. Hon. Najeem Salaam, the parliament explained that the creation of local governments, Area Councils and Administrative units became imperative in order to bring government closer to the grassroots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“The primary purpose of the creation of the councils and administrative units was for the administrative conveniences, not to hyper-bloat the already existing over-bloated civil and political regimes which have become albatross to the limited resources of the state.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Speaker then urged Governor Rauf Aregbesola to prioritise the assent of the law in order to set up committees that would work out the asset and liabilities for the take off of the new councils and units.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The chairman, House Committee on Local Government, Mr. Wasiu Adebayo, said, “Osogbo being the state capital is bigger and demands to be further split, while Ejigbo has not been split since 1956 despite its size. Odo Otin considered to be the biggest council since 1972 also got two more councils.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He stated that Osogbo, Ejigbo and Odo Otin Local Government Areas were given two more councils each, while some other local governments were split with one council each.</div>

PDP Hoards Invitation Cards To Inauguration Ceremony

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cornered nearly 4,000 of the 5,000 invitation cards for the inauguration of Muhammadu Buhari as President on Friday.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A source on the Inauguration Committee co-chaired by Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Anyim Pius Anyim and former Bayelsa State Governor, Timipre Sylva, told <i>PREMIUM TIMES</i> on Wednesday that the action to hijack the cards is deliberate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We don't want President Goodluck Jonathan to be embarrassed during the ceremony as we gather that there are plans to boo the outgoing President during the ceremony", the source said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It is imperative that we give the outgoing President a cheerful exit,” he added.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the source, the development is already generating tension among members of the Committee following spirited pressures by other political parties not to be left out of the ceremony.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and erstwhile Chairman of defunct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), Tony Momoh, has threatened to boycott the inauguration ceremony.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was gathered that all the efforts of Mr. Momoh to secure an access card has failed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"As we speak, the house of Prince Momoh is filled with people asking for invitation cards. Sadly, Prince Momoh does not even have a card to himself."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Furthermore, it was gathered that the APC has 1,300 invitation cards only for its local and foreign dignitaries who have declared interest in attending the ceremony.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Even the APC itself is not left out of the acrimony as there are claims that former Governor Sylva, who represents the interest of the incoming government in the Committee has allegedly absconded with the invitation cards allotted to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The representative of the APC in the Inauguration Committee is playing hide and seek with his own people as some members of its Presidential Campaign and even top notch of the party are without the necessary accredited access into the Eagle Square venue of the event,” the source said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Sylva could not be reached for comments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that it is complain galore as serving and former governors, serving members and incoming members of the National Assembly, party chieftains including members of the Inauguration Committee itself and media chieftains some of whom had the honour of being part of US President Barack Obama's inauguration have been left out of the Friday handover ceremony.</div>

Jonathan Commiserates With Obasanjo Over Sister's Death

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>President Goodluck Jonathan seems to have improved on his relationship with former president, Olusegun Obasanjo, after sending him a rare message of commiseration on the death of his sister, Adunni Oluniola Eweje-Obasanjo.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since Obasanjo's letter to the president went viral in December 2013, the president stopped all forms of felicitation or commiseration with the former head of state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before then, though, Jonathan had "nothing but the greatest respect for Obasanjo" and he had said he would not probe his benefactor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The president has nothing but the greatest respect for Chief Obasanjo's very notable contributions to national growth and development over many years and far from taking offence or seeking retaliation, will always welcome objective criticism and advice from the very highly-regarded elder statesman", Reuben Abati, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, wrote in 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Evidence of a sour relationship between the duo came to fore in December, when Abati, speaking for Jonathan, said Obasanjo's letter was "mischievous, provocative and self-serving".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jonathan ordered his aides not to join issues with the 78-year-old retired general, saying he himself would respond appropriately.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The president himself will, at the appropriate time, offer a full personal response to the most reckless, baseless, unjustifiable and indecorous charges levied against him and his administration by the former Head of State".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jonathan conspicuously avoided sending public wishes to Obasanjo on his birthdays in 2014 and 2015, against his tradition in the previous years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2015, Jonathan sacked Martin Luther Agwai as chairman of the Subsidy Reinvestment Programme (SURE-P) for preaching "change" at Obasanjo's 78th birthday in March.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest commiseration with Obasanjo suggests that the bad blood between the two presidents has become history.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The president joins Chief Obasanjo and his family in mourning the late Madam Eweje-Obasanjo who passed away recently at the age of 76", the commiseration message read in part.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"As they mourn her, President Jonathan urges Chief Obasanjo and his family to be consoled by the knowledge that his late sister lived a worthy and very fulfilled life in the service of her family and community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The President prays that God will grant Chief Obasanjo and his family the fortitude to bear the loss of Madam Eweje-Obasanjo. He similarly prays that God will receive Madam Eweje-Obasanjo's soul and grant her eternal rest."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jonathan and Obasanjo both attended the last council of states meeting, which Obasanjo had boycotted since falling out with the outgoing president.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Benue State incoming Governor, Chief Samuel Ortom, has said his sojourn from motor park tout to an elected governor is a divine arrangement.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ortom, who spoke to <i>The PUNCH</i> in an interview in Makurdi on Wednesday, said his elevation from grass to grace was due to hard work and his firm belief in the grace of God.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: “My journey from motor park tout to an elected governor is purely a divine arrangement. I cast my mind back to when I dropped out of school in Form Two; but I remained hardworking and I did not engage in crime to survive or fend for myself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“One thing I know is that hard work pays and you must keep faith in God; power belongs to God and He alone gives to whomever he will.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former Minister of State for Industry, Trade and Investment said he dropped out of secondary school due to lack of funds to pay school fees but that he did not go astray or engage in criminal activities to survive.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ortom, however, alleged that some party leaders manipulated the delegate list of the People Democratic Party (PDP) for the last April election in the state to thwart his bid to become the state governor.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: "The process of selection of delegates in the last PDP governorship election was manipulated by the leadership of the party to thwart my ambition and frustrate the people who all supported me. But God vindicated me and blessed me, and now, I am an elected governor.”</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate in the August 9, 2014 governorship election in Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, against the election of the All Progressives Congress’ candidate, the incumbent Governor Rauf Aregbesola.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The seven-man panel of the apex court, led by Justice John Fabiyi, affirmed the concurrent judgments of the Court of Appeal in Akure‎ and the Osun State Governorship Election Tribunal, which had both affirmed Aregbesola the winner of the election.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Justice C.C Nweze, who read the lead judgment, resolved six out of the seven issues formulated by the appellant against him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Only one was resolved in his favour and against the respondents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The seven-man panel unanimously held that the appeal lacked merit and was bound to be dismissed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Omisore, who was personally present in court during the hearing, urged the apex court through his counsel, Dr. Alex Izinyon (SAN), ‎to set aside the concurrent judgments of the two lower courts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Omisore and his party had filed the appeals against the decisions of the Justice Gana Mshelia-led panel of the Court of Appeal ‎in Akure which on April 2, 2015, affirmed the earlier judgment of the Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b>It was indeed a sorry sight at Shoprite, Surulere, Sunday when <i>Daily Independent</i> sighted popular Nollywood actor, Ernest Asuzu.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clad in a Manchester United jersey, blue jean pants and bathroom slippers, Azuzu who suffered stroke sometime ago and still limping was practically begging shoppers for money to eat!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was a shadow of himself. One needed to take closer look at him to recognise he were the one. It was a pathetic sight to behold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The eccentric actor confided in <i>Daily Independent</i> that the president of Actors Guild, Ibinabo Fiberesima and some others are aware of his condition but have refused to come to his aid.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said he now depends on good spirited Nigerians for survival.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>President-elect Muhammadu Buhari will be returning to Nigeria on Thursday morning after a six-day trip to the United Kingdom in the company of former President Shehu Shagari.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari, who during his trip to the UK, met with British Prime Minister David Cameron, will arrive onboard a British Airways flight that is scheduled to land in Abuja around 4 am.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shagari who <i>ThisDay</i> learnt, was in the UK on a private visit, was overthrown by Buhari in a military coup d’etat 32 years ago. Both men will be flying back to the country 24 hours before Buhari’s inauguration as Nigeria’s fifth democratically elected president.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shagari, between October 1, 1979 and December 31, 1983, was Nigeria's first democratically elected president.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari had departed the country last Friday in the company of two of his close aides, ostensibly to get away from the pressure that had been brought to bear on him by members of his party the All Progressives Congress (APC), state governors and varied interest groups who had laid siege on him in recent weeks for posts in his government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was said to have decided to get some rest ahead of the inauguration before plunging into the arduous task of running the country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, his trip, which he embarked upon without the knowledge of the leadership of the APC, has caused disquiet among its chieftains, as it was the first clear signal that the president-elect is a man of independent thinking determined to do things his way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Buhari in recent days has also made it known that the governors will have no say in determining the members of his cabinet, making it abundantly clear to them after they had submitted their ministerial lists, that he would have no say on who their commissioners should be.</div>
