<b>Femi Fani-Kayode, the spokesperson for President Goodluck Jonathan’s campaign organisation, has denied the allegation that he manipulated a document from Cambridge University to justify his claim that that General Muhammadu Buhari’s West African School Certificate’s statement of result was forged.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In a statement Tuesday, by his Special Assistant, Sufuyan Ojeifo, Mr. Fani-Kayode said the allegation against him were baseless and unfounded.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Read full statement below.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>PRESS STATEMENT</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Buhari Certificate Saga: Allegation of document manipulation against Chief Femi Fani-Kayode is indicative of desperation by the opposition</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The attention of the Director of Media and Publicity of the PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode, has been drawn to some media reports alleging that he manipulated a document from Cambridge University to justify his claim that that General Muhammadu Buhari’s West African School Certificate’s statement of result was forged.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Chief Fani-Kayode wishes to state clearly that he never issued a statement signed by him in his capacity as spokesperson of the PDP Presidential Campaign neither did he address a press conference nor briefing where he referred to the Cambridge document in question.  He also did not validate the content of the said document on any occasion.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As far as he is concerned, he, as a person, does not know of the existence of the said Cambridge e-mail document and what the content is all about. He never commented on the content of the document and therefore how that translated into forgery beats the imagination. To be clear, he has not been in touch with Cambridge to request for any information in respect of the issue in question.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What he has done, especially during his last press conference on General Buhari’s published statement of result was to make assertions to the effect that the statement of result was forged and illegally procured; and had called on the police to track down the masterminds of the forgery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the record, it is important to state that the media report on which the allegation of manipulation against Chief Femi Fani-Kayode was grounded happens to be the <b>THISDAY</b> news report of Monday, January 26, 2015 with the headline <i>"Certificate Saga: Hausa Language Was Not Offered in 1961, says Report"</i>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="http://nigerianewsroom.blogspot.com/2015/01/buharis-certificate-how-fani-kayode.html">READ ALSO: Buhari's Certificate: How Fani-Kayode "Forged" My Friend's Email - By Suraj Oyewole</a></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The news report was apparently muddled up in its facts and presentation in paragraph 13 wherein it said that Chief Fani-Kayode "<i>CLAIMED that he came across an e-mail dated Thursday, January, 2015 from the institution’s (Cambridge) Archives Delivery Service Officer, Jacky Emerson, to one Sodiq Alabi who requested confirmation if the examination body offered Hausa Language in the 1961 West African Examination it organized.</i>"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is hereby categorically stated that there is no such press statement anywhere in the whole wide world signed by Chief Fani-Kayode wherein he made any such claim.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other references to Chief Fani-Kayode in the <i>THISDAY</i> news report were a recall or tie-back of all that he said at his press conference in Abuja last Thursday on the forged statement of result purported to be General Buhari’s.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The allegation of manipulation against Chief Fani-Kayode is, therefore, indicative of desperation by the opposition who should have spoken to the issue of whether or not General Buhari has a certificate or not.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>A former Governor of Ogun State and National Leader of Social Democratic Party, Chief Olusegun Osoba, has described the state governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, as a sectional governor.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said this on Tuesday in Ago Iwoye, Ijebu North Local Government Area of the state, at a meeting with a cross-section of traditional chiefs, community and party supporters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Osoba, while decrying the absence of substantial government presence in the area, alleged that Amosun had concentrated his projects in Abeokuta and its environs to the detriment of other towns in the state.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, "The governor (Amosun) is the governor of Abeokuta. That is where most of the projects are situated, while other areas in the state are left out."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The former governor accused Amosun of abandoning the Ago-Iwoye bridge which was initiated by his (Osoba) administration and concentrated on building bridges at Sapon, Itoku and Iyana Mortuary, all in the state capital.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Osoba inaugurated some projects executed by the Senator, representing Ogun East, Adegbebnga Kaka, the <b><a href="http://www.punchng.com/news/osoba-asks-ijebu-to-vote-out-amosun/">Punch</a></b> reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These include a staff room at Ago Iwoye Secondary School and a hall at Itamerin Comprehensive High School.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The ex-governor berated the state governor for the manner he allegedly treated his deputy, Mr. Segun Adesegun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He noted that this was not only a slap on the Deputy Governor, but a slap to the people of Ijebuland, which he said, Adesegun represents.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said, "We gave Adesegun as Amosun's deputy because of his experience as commissioner for works under my administration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"We had expected that the governor would tap from Adesegun’s wealth of experience in governance but the governor chose otherwise and started constructing bridges where there is no water.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Amosun really dealt with Adesegun; he maltreated him. Ijebu people should not see the insult meted out to Adesegun as that of Adesegun alone. They should see it as a collective insult.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Therefore, it is time for Ijebu people to fight back with their votes. I’m begging you to stop the maltreatment of the Ijebus with your votes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"It is time to defend yourselves. This is not 1999 election, when you voted for your kinsman, (Jubril) Martins Kuye‎, against me. You must show Amosun with your votes come February 28, 2015; all of you must come out en-masse and pay Amosun back."</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>We commend Professor Chukwuma Soludo’s for his insightful and incisive article published on January 26th in the Vanguard Newspaper, The Nation Newspaper and major online news platforms under the above title. We agree with Professor Soludo that if the political parties, including ours, must justify the overwhelming enthusiasm of Nigerians about the 2015 elections we must remain focused on the issues that matter most to them, which is the progress of our country and the well being of our people. Indeed, this has been the driving conviction of our party and our campaign all along.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While we accept his critical comments on our party, more for the intentions than for the letters, we believe some clarifications would be quite necessary. We wish to emphasise that our party, the All Progressives Congress (APC), presents a real option to Nigerians. Professor Soludo expressed the sentiments of most Nigerians when he spoke about the incalculable damage that the PDP under President Jonathan has done to the Nigerian economy and the unprecedented hardship that his six years of the locust has brought upon Nigerians.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the APC does not intend to ride into power on a mere rhetoric of 'change'. The change that we propose is fundamental in many ways as it is critical to the very survival of our country. This in itself presents a major distinction between our party and the PDP. Perhaps, the most compelling argument against the Peoples Democratic Party today is that its government and leadership does not even see that Nigeria is in trouble. While majority of our people wallow in abject poverty, and the gap in inequality gets ever wider by the day, yet PDP has basked in self-celebration of imagined accomplishments. How can a party or a government even begin to solve a problem that it does not believe exist? Like in all things, PDP is stuck in denial.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
APC does not promise Eldorado. Neither our candidate nor our manifesto has made such promise. Our programs are based on the critical awareness of the difficult task ahead, while holding out a ray of hope to our people. The promises that we make reflect our innermost belief that the people must be at the centre of development. Especially, we believe that any economic growth that leaves the majority of the people behind, and does not protect the weakest and the vulnerable among us, is merely delusionary.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Professor Soludo has drawn our attention to the striking but unfortunate similarity in the nation's economy in 1982-1984 period and what we are experiencing today. Back then, a period of sustained high crude oil prices had also ironically led to unsustainable debt levels and introduction of the austerity measure. Just as it happened more than three decades ago, it is difficult to explain how a sustained period of oil boom should ultimately lead to austerity measure except to say that huge opportunities that the period of boom presented were frittered away by mindless profligacy, wanton corruption and bad economic choices made by the PDP government, which has rewarded a protracted period of boom with uncertainty and austerity and is still asking for another mandate to do more damage. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If we sound upbeat in our manifesto, it is because we recognise that this crisis period also presents us a great opportunity to restructure the economy in a way that improves the quality of lives of our people by ensuring that our economic growth is job-led. Our party has identified job creation as a critical priority of government. We have noted with concerns that Nigeria’s unemployment rate of 23.9% should be seen as a national crisis. And if this government was more sensitive to the enormity of the challenge that this presents, it would be reluctant to jump all over the place in self celebration while so many of our youths are wasting away. In the immediate future, our priority is to tackle unemployment and provide good jobs by embarking on a massive programme of public works, building houses, roads, railways, ports and energy plants. Over the long term, we believe we must wean Nigeria off its dangerous addiction to oil, which currently provides 80% of our spending leaving us at the mercy of volatile international oil prices. Even as a federalist party, we believe that an economy that is dependent on a commodity that is so dangerously exposed to price volatility must always prepare for eventuality through savings and investments once the agreed thresholds are met. What we disagree with is the unilateral and arbitrary deductions in accruable revenues in a way that hampers the development of the federating States.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Going by the government's own statistics, is it mere coincidence that the three States with the lowest unemployment rate - Osun, Lagos and Kwara - are all APC States?  This is evidence of our Party's ability to tackle this problem head-on. APC’s policy thrust will create an enabling environment and incentives for the formal and informal sectors to lead the quest for job creation. This will be done in addition to skills acquisition and enterprise- training to ensure our youths are equipped with the appropriate skills to take these jobs. Merely introducing a National Qualification Standards would power a whole new world of opportunities for our artisans by launching them into the international job markets. We note the issue that Professor Soludo picked with our figure of 720,000 jobs. We need to clarify that this is limited to immediate direct employment opportunities from public projects and maintenance works only. Our manifesto actually promises a lot more jobs but we see that as the product of the enabling environment we seek to create for private sector-led job creation, especially in high opportunity sectors like agriculture, construction, entertainment, tourism, ICT and sports. APC economic policy is driven by an overwhelming concern for the level of inequality in our country today. Specifically, to quote from our manifesto, we intend to achieve our job-creation agenda through:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Massive public works programme especially the building of a national railway system (complete with tramline systems for our major cities), interstate roads, and ports. These projects must commence early in the life of the new administration.</li>
<li>Establishing a new Federal Coordinating Agency - Build Nigeria - to fast track and manage these public works programmes with emphasis on Nigerian labour.</li>
<li>Embarking vigorously on industrialization, public works and agricultural expansion.</li>
<li>Diversifying the economy through a national industrial policy and innovative private-sector incentives that will move us away from over reliance on oil into value-added production especially manufacturing.</li>
<li>Reviving textile and other industries that have been rendered dormant because of inappropriate economic policies.</li>
<li>Reinvigorating the solid mineral sector by revamping our aged mining legislation and attracting new investment.</li>
<li>Developing a new generation of domestic oil refineries to lower import costs, enhance our energy independence and create jobs.</li>
<li>Working with state governments to turn the country into Africa's food basket through a new system of grants and interest free loans, and the mechanization of agriculture.</li>
<li>Encouraging and promoting the use of sports as a source of job creation, entertainment and recreation.</li>
<li>Creating a knowledge economy by making Nigeria an IT/professional/Telecom services outsourcing destination hub to create millions of jobs.</li>
<li>Filling the huge gap in middle level technical manpower with massive investment in technical and tradesmen's skills education.</li>
<li>Ensuring that all foreign contractors to include a plan of developing local capacity (technology transfer).</li>
<li>Creation of six Regional Development Agencies covering the country with representatives from the Federal Government, States and the private sector to manage a new ₦300 billion growth fund.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our obsession with job creation stems from the fact that we believe we must focus on actions that would serve the twin purpose of closing the gap in inequality and creating opportunities for our people, especially the youth. Our current situation is dangerous for the stability of the country. The Human Development Index position ranks Nigeria 152of 169 countries surveyed.This is incompatible with the present administration’s insistence on celebrating GDP growth and our absolute economic size hinged on a routine rebasing exercise. As many commentators have pointed out, rebasing the GDP is not an achievement. Rather, it is a mere statistical adjustment that does not impact on the real or imagined standards of living of the people. So, we also wonder what this PDP government is celebrating. And maybe it is not that difficult to explain when one discovers that a small elite has captured the state and converted our commonwealth into private gain, becoming disproportionately rich from massive corruption while poverty has deepened. The income gap and illicit capital flight are growing alarmingly. Instead of investing in modernizing our economy, massive theft has starved the country of desperately needed resources for infrastructure and public services and left us dangerously dependent on fluctuating global oil prices for our economic survival. For the ordinary Nigerian, the much-touted economic growth cited by the present administration has not translated into employment or development. Over 100 million Nigerians are struggling to make ends meet on a regular basis.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Furthermore, we understand Professor Soludo’s concern on the cost of implementing our various programmes, especially those relating to social welfare. The enormity of this challenge is not lost on us. We also know that sometimes, going into government is like buying a "no testing" electronic equipment. You may never know the true state of what you are buying until you get in. We want to assure Professor Soludo and other like-minded Nigerians that our policy team is looking at all the options - including the worst-case scenario of a completely empty treasury. We are however confident that by blocking avenues of wastages and corruption alone, savings could run into billions of Naira that could be deployed for productive use. Even so, we agree with Professor Soludo that savings from corruption alone will not tackle the enormous challenges we are likely to confront in government. We are however comforted by the fact that a four-year period provides opportunity for phased implementation while growing the resource base as well as changing the culture of graft while reducing the cost of governance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Quite significantly, we know that periods of economic downturn also potentially provide opportunity to lay the foundation for real economic restructuring and development; and we can reflect on how Singapore under Premier Lee Kuan Yew and the United States of America under President Franklin Delano Roosevelt used historic moments of economic downturn in their countries to launch a period of sustained development and a new deal for their people. General Buhari has never claimed to have the magic wand nor the answers to all of the country’s problems. His greatest assets would be his moral authority borne out of his self-sacrificing integrity, his sincerity of purpose and his patriotic zeal to return Nigeria to the path of progress and genuine development.  He is committed to utilize competent and committed people of integrity wherever he may find them. This is precisely why he promised when flagging off his campaign in Port Harcourt on January 5, 2015 that if voted into power, it would be an opportunity to, in his words, "finally assemble a competent team of Nigerians to efficiently manage this country”. This is a clear sign that a meritocratic process will govern the appointment of those that would be entrusted with managing our economy and country. His stint as Head of State shows a track record of using self-sacrificing professionals in his governance team. His previous cabinet included the likes of Dr. Onaolapo Soleye, Professor Tam David-West and Professor Ibrahim Gambari.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The All Progressives Congress (APC) is determined to lead Nigeria in the direction of change that is so urgently required. And even as we prepare for the immediate rescue mission in 2015, our minds are also set on building the necessary democratic institutions that would entrench our ideological conviction as a progressive and people-centred party. A National Progressives Policy Institute is part of this plan in the near future but we are very clear about the enormity of the task ahead. We would not seek to underplay it. We are supremely confident that we are equal to the task and we appreciate the commitment of majority of Nigerians to this quest for change.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Obviously, it seems the incidences of madams brutalizing their maids are becoming common these days because no one is being punished for the dastardly act. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to <b>Talkloaded.net</b>, this latest incident which left the maid almost blind and a tooth knocked off happened at the Eleyele Police Barracks in Ibadan. </div>

According to reports, after beating the poor girl mercilessly the woman who is also a mother poured hot water on the girl, scalding her breasts and other parts of her body. </div>

But for the grace of God and the intervention of neighbors, the maid would have been dead by now.</div>
