<b>This tiny dancer is taking over the internet with her fierce performance of Aretha Franklin’s Respect.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Six-year-old Johanna's amazing routine has now been viewed on Facebook an incredible 18.7 million times after her mum <a href="https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10153350768798446">Elissa M Colon</a> posted it to her page on June 7.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The little mover totally stole the show at a dance recital this weekend with her tap performance of the disco floor-filler. She brought ALL the sass.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Elissa, who admits Johanna can’t quite understand her newfound fame yet, describes her daughter as "feisty" and "bubbly".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to <b>ABC News</b>, Johanna's dance instructor purposefully chose "Respect" knowing that Johanna would be able to make it her own. She got a standing ovation at the end of the performance. Naturally.</div>

<b>A head teacher has been described in court as a "sexual predator" after allegedly having sex with two underage boys.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anne Lakey had sex with one of the boys, 13, at her house while her husband was out, a jury at Teesside Crown Court heard.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lakey, who prosecutors say committed a "gross breach of trust", is also alleged to have had sex with another child of 15.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prosecutor Caroline Goodwin said: ‘The defendant exploited the vulnerability and immaturity of the complainant, a young boy who was naturally curious about sex.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
''She flattered him and paid attention to him. It was their secret. He became in a way submissive to her sexual demands. She used him for her own sexual gratification."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
She denies 13 counts and the trial continues.</div>

<b>A SPEECH PRESENTED BY SENATOR ABUBAKAR BUKOLA SARAKI ON THE OCCASION OF HIS SWEARING-IN AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA ON TUESDAY JUNE 9, 2015.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PROTOCOLS.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Distinguished Colleagues, Senators of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I am most honoured and privileged to be elected from among such distinguished men and women of your caliber to serve you as President of the Senate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I accept with humility and respect the honour you have conferred upon me today. I am indeed moved by such demonstration of faith and trust you have reposed on me. I am truly grateful and I accept this call to serve with humility, responsibility and sense of duty.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I give all glory to the Almighty God for the significance of this day for our dear country. I am delighted that only a few months after we witnessed an uncommon democratic transition in our country, we are witnessing yet again, a further consolidation of that lofty victory for our country and our democracy.I want to thank all members of the National Assembly, especially the distinguished Senators for your maturity and patriotism in the exercise that we have just concluded in electing the leadership of the 8th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We have demonstrated that even though we may belong to different persuasions and parties, we are ultimately united by our common desire to entrench democracy and allow its core principles guide the conduct of our political affairs.I thank all those who have supported me and journeyed with me through the difficult road that has brought us here. I believe that the courage and the commitment that you have demonstrated go beyond your support for any individual’s ambition. I believe that what you have demonstrated is an unflinching commitment to the sanctity and integrity of this hallowed chamber as the primary bastion for the government of the people, by the people, for the people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Beyond any political party or personal victory, the 2015 general elections, in many ways, represents a major watershed in the political annals of our great country. And for long would forever be remembered as that moment when our democracy truly came of age. The uniqueness of these times, fired by our people’s overwhelming desire for change would remain an inspiration for the future generations of our country. However, the enormous responsibilities that it imposes on those of us who occupy leadership positions in our respective capacity at this time can hardly be over-emphasized.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The change that our people voted for is a change from a life of poverty, misery and hopelessness to a life of prosperity, happiness and confidence in the future; a change from a pervasive culture of fear to a life of security and comfort; a change from impunity and elite arrogance to a life of accountability and respect for every citizen, regardless of tribe, gender, religion, region or political persuasion. This is the change that all of us in this National Assembly must strive to bring about, if we must justify the privilege of representation conferred on us by our people. Nigerians want to see a proactive National Assembly that will devote itself to rigorous thinking, rolling up sleeves to forge a new and prosperous Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the President of the 8th Senate and the Chairman of this National Assembly, I shall be guided by the enormity of the responsibilities that this moment imposes on us all. As a first among equals, I shall strive at all times to be just, equitable and fair to all. I shall work with you all to build a National Assembly that will enjoy greater confidence and trust among the people that we represent. We shall entrench greater openness and accountability. We shall strengthen our capacity for public engagement as well as broaden access for inclusion, recognizing that this temple of democracy belongs to all the people of our country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Modern democracy is built on the principle of separation of powers. It will be my responsibility to protect the independence of the legislative arm of our government in the overall interest of our democracy. However, I will pursue this duty with the understanding that our autonomy must be embedded within the collaborative framework that allows government to function more effectively in bringing the greater good to the greatest number of our people. Our quest for autonomy must not lead us into pursuing adversarial relationship with other arms of government, especially the executive. Our oversight duties must be constructive, supportive and productive, believing that while we all have different roles to play; we have a common responsibility to the people of Nigeria.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At this juncture, permit me distinguished Senators, Honourable Members to salute the President and Commander-In-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR for remaining steadfast in his defence of the right of the National Assembly members to choose its own leaders. With his principled position, he has laid a solid foundation for the stability of the 8th National Assembly and for strengthening our democracy. On behalf of my colleagues in the Senate (and the House of Representatives,) I promise that we shall reward the great confidence you have reposed in us by being worthy partners and dependable ally in the great task ahead.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similarly, I thank all the leaders of our party, the All Progressives Congress for the leadership you have provided and the efforts you have made in providing guidance and in managing the process that would lead to amicable resolution of the conflict and contention that any democratic process necessarily generates. Now we can move forward with renewed confidence in our efforts to build a stronger and virile party, where all members would find comfort and space to pursue their legitimate aspirations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I shall end this address by expressing the immense gratitude of all members of the 7th Senate and House of Representatives to His Excellency, David Bonaventure Mark, for the uncommon leadership that you have provided for us over the years, which has stabilized the National Assembly and paved the way for the enormous achievements that were recorded under your leadership. Thank you for your immense service to our country.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My dear distinguished colleagues, we are entering the saddle at a time when a lot is being expected of us. Nigerians expect the barest minimum out of our agenda; that the new Senate and National Assembly must make laws that will enable us renew our infrastructure, reform the oil sector, reform our security systems, boost agriculture, create jobs and make doing business in Nigeria much more competitive. In the coming days we shall be converging to hammer out an aggregate agenda that will help us focus and deliver on these minimum expectations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Distinguished Senators, Honourable Members, as we formally assume the legislative task of our nation’s government today, I pray that the Almighty God will continue to increase us in wisdom and visit us with courage to always do that which is best for our people and our country. May our hallowed chambers continue to ennoble the memory of our great country men and women who fought and died so that democracy may see the light of day in our country. And, may the future generations of our citizens look upon the 8th National Assembly as a true assembly of our people’s representatives who did their very best in the service of our nation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thank you all.</div>
<br />

<b>A former Vice President,  Atiku Abubakar, has congratulated the newly elected leaders of the National Assembly, admonishing them to see their elections beyond the narrow interests of respective political parties.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former Vice President, in a press statement issued by his media office on Tuesday, noted that with the elections of its presiding officers, the 8th National Assembly should swing to work and put the overall national interest beyond the personal political interests of its members.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Turaki Adamawa said with the election of its presiding officers, the 8th National Assembly has prepared the ground work for a full legislative business.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Atiku Abubakar, while congratulating the new leaders of the parliament on their election, reminded every member of both the Senate and the House of Representatives of their responsibilities to their constituents, which, he said, is to put national interest before their individual political interest.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Irrespective of the political mix through which the presiding officers emerged, he noted, the 8th National Assembly should never lose focus of its role as a partner in progress with the other arms of government, especially the executive arm.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"The Nigerian people look up to the new National Assembly to work with the executive arm in finding solutions to the problems of insecurity, poverty, illiteracy and joblessness in the country. Their election is indeed a call to duty, and it is a call for which they cannot afford to fail the nation", Atiku added.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has congratulated newly elected Senate President Bukola Saraki, his deputy, Senator Ike Ekweremadu as well as the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara, noting that their elections underscore the fact that no section of the country should be neglected on national issues.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Chief Olisa Metuh in a statement on Tuesday described the development in both chambers of the National Assembly as “victory for democracy and triumph of the time-honored value of the PDP that every zone and segment of the country must at all times be given a sense of belonging in governance”.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The PDP assured that it would continue to partner with like minds in other political parties and groups to ensure that the nation’s democracy, which it nurtured in the last 16 years is sustained in</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
the overall interest of the Nigerian people.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“What is paramount to the PDP is the sustenance of our democracy and the wellbeing of our people, irrespective of creed, class or ethnicity. The PDP is therefore willing and ready to partner with like-minded individuals in other political parties and groups to sustain our democracy, ensure good governance and promote the unity and stability of our dear nation. Nigeria as a nation belongs to all of us. Its interest therefore must be put over and above personal, partisan or group interests at all times.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“In this regard, the PDP notes with gratitude, the immense contributions of the immediate past Senate President ‘the Baba of the National Assembly’, Senator David Mark for the decency and mature manner with which he ensured the smooth take off of the 8th National Assembly”, the party said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The statement also commended the PDP Acting National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus for successfully galvanizing PDP members in both chambers of the National Assembly, which contributed to the peaceful conduct of the elections.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The PDP charged its members in the National Assembly to continue to uphold the tenets of democracy and enforce the constitutionally vested parliamentary role of check and balances to ensure the much desired accountability and probity in the polity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, it urged the All Progressives Congress (APC) to stop whining and accept the will of the people, respect the independence of the legislature, as the PDP is not responsible for their naivety and crass inexperience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The All Progressives Congress (APC) has described as totally unacceptable and the "highest level of indiscipline and treachery" the conduct of Tuesday’s inauguration of the National Assembly that led to the emergence of Senator Bukola Saraki and Mr. Yakubu Dogara as Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, respectively.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was contained in a statement by APC National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Abuja on Tuesday.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
APC said: "Senator Bukola and Hon. Dogara are not the candidates of the APC and a majority of its National Assembly members-elect for the positions of Senate President and House Speaker. The party duly met and conducted a straw poll and clear candidates emerged for the posts of Senate President, Deputy Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives, supported by a majority of all Senators-elect and members-elect of the House of Representatives.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"All National Assembly members-elect, who emerged on the platform of the party, are bound by that decision. The party is supreme and its interest is superior to that of its individual members.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Consequently, the APC leadership is meeting in a bid to reestablish discipline in the party and to mete out the necessary sanctions to all those involved in what is nothing but a monumental act of indiscipline and betrayal to subject the party to ridicule and create obstacles for the new administration."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
APC decried a situation in which some people, based on nothing but "inordinate ambition and lack of  discipline and loyalty, will enter into an unholy alliance with the very same people whom the party and indeed the entire country worked hard to replace and sell out the hard won victory" of the party.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"There can be no higher level of treachery, disloyalty and insincerity within any party", the party said, vowing to resolve the matter using all constitutional and legal means available to it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Meanwhile, the APC has asked all its loyal Senators-elect to please report to the Senate to be sworn-in in order to discharge their constitutional duties.</div>

<b>President Muhammadu Buhari has noted the outcome of the just-concluded election of leaders of the National Assembly.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A statement issued by the Special Adviser (Media and Publicity), Femi Adesina, said the President would rather that the process of the leaders as initiated and concluded by the All Progressives Congress (APC) had been  followed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nonetheless the President took the view that a constitutional process has somewhat occurred.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"President Buhari had said in an earlier statement that he did not have any preferred candidate for the Senate and the House of Representatives, and that he was willing to work with whoever the law makers elected," Adesina said. "That sentiment still stands."</div>

El-Rufai Reduces Commissioners From 24 To 13 To Cut Cost

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>In a bid to cut running cost of governance, Kaduna State Governor Malam Nasir Ahmad El-Rufai has reduced the number of commissioners from the usual 24 to 13.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement signed by his Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Samuel Aruwan and made available to P.M.NEWS, also said El’Rufai has placed strict limits on the number of aides that the 13 commissioners can recruit to support the discharge of their duties.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the statement, El-Rufai has repeatedly empahsiszed the need for Kaduna State government to direct its resources to deliver public services and that such a move requires a reduction in the proportion consumed by government.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Similarly,  the Kaduna State government has announced the restructuring of its ministries from 19 to 13.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"This is intended to cut costs, spur efficiency and improve service delivery", it stated.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It, therefore, stated that the machinery of government will now be driven by the following ministries: Ministry of Justice,  Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, Ministry of Local Government, Ministry of Youth, Sports and Culture, and Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Others are Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development, Ministry of Water Resources, Ministry of Health and Human Services, Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, Ministry of Budget and Planning, Ministry of Finance, and Ministry of Works, Housing and Transport.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It also said that the realignment of mandates has  also resulted in the emergence of two new departments that is:  The erstwhile Ministry of Lands, Survey and Country Planning is being moved to the Governor’s Office as a department and  the former Ministry of Rural and Community Development becomes a department in the Deputy Governor’s Office.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Also affected by the restructuring is the Ministry of Information whose functions have now being decentralized , it stated that  each ministry will henceforth have its own public relations unit attached to the office of its chief executive.</div>
<br />

<b>Immediate past Senate President David Mark, today emerged the Senate Leader in the dramatic election that saw Senator Bukola Saraki "elected" as Senate President and immediate past Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu of the opposition PDP returned to office as Deputy Senate President.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mr. Mark is a PDP senator from Benue State in North Central Nigeria, the geo political zone as Mr. Saraki, the new Senate President.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, a tweeter user, @ibsanusi has come up with a page of the Senate's Standing Orders 2007 as amended which defines who occupies which position in the Senate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Senate Standing Order 28 (1) says:</div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="text-align: justify;">
There shall be a Majority Leader of the Senate, the Majority Leader shall be a Senator nominated from the party with the largest number of Senators.</blockquote>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Going by the above Standing Order, the election of Senator David Mark as the Senate Leader is an issue to contest.</div>
