Fayose condemns DSS invasion of Col. Dasuki’s homes, says; “Dictatorship returning to Nigeria”

Posted: 17 Jul 2015 01:11 PM PDT

Press statement from Ekiti state governor, Ayo Fayose. Read below..
Ekiti State Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has condemned the invasion and sealing-off of the Abuja and Sokoto residences of the immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA), Col Sambo Dasuki (rtd) by men of the Department of State Services (DSS), saying; "persecution of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) stalwarts and others perceived as opposed to the All Progressives Congress (APC) federal government is an ominous sign of imminent return of dictatorship and draconian rule in Nigeria."
The governor, who said he still believed that the invasion of Col. Dasuki homes may not have the backing of President Mohammadu Buhari, said; "if this is being done by some people to please the president, he should check the excesses of those behind it and call them to other because overzealousness by those that are close to the president is inimical to the image of the government."

In a statement issued in Ado-Ekiti today his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, Governor Fayose said he was sad that democracy is already being put on trial, less than two months that President Mohammadu Buhari assumed office, adding that; "Rather than invading homes of Nigerians and putting people under house arrest, the government should invade Boko Haram territories and arrest the insurgents."

Governor Fayose, who also condemned the persecution of Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, said; "the desperate plot to remove Senator Ekweremadu from office is dangerous to democratic rule in Nigeria because there is no portion of the Nigeria's 1999 Constitution that made positions of Senate President and Deputy Senate President the exclusive rights of the political party with highest number of senators."

He said; "President Buhari should rather keep Boko Haram under house arrest, not opposition party members. Those heavily armed security men that invaded Col. Dasuki's Abuja and Sokoto homes should have been put to a better use by sending them to the Boko Haram ravaged North Eastern part of Nigeria. "The president should keep the rising exchange rates of Dollar, Pound Sterling, Euro and other foreign currencies under house arrest.

He should pay attention to governance, be guided by the rule of law and be for everyone and for nobody as he promised when he was sworn into office." He advised President Buhari to be magnanimous in victory, act like a leader and father of all Nigerians instead of seeing his return to power as an opportunity to revenge against those perceived to have wronged him in the past. The governor asked; "Was there any invitation by the DSS to Col. Dasuki that he refused to honour?

Isn't it worrisome that in this democratic age, security agents could in a commando-like invade the house of a former NSA to carry out his arrest when there is no record that he was invited and he refused to honour the invitation, or that he resisted arrest? "Could Col. Dasuki's present ordeal be as a result of his advice that the presidential election be postponed? "Is this not an indication of an impending clampdown on PDP members and other Nigerians perceived not to be on the same page with the President Buhari-led All Progressives Congress (APC) government?

"We in the PDP supported our party during the presidential election like every other loyal party members should do, should this display of support for our party and its candidate now warrant persecution by the federal government? "If Col. Dasuki actually committed any offence to warrant his arrest and questioning by the DSS or any of the country's security agencies, shouldn't warrant of arrest have been issued against him? Shouldn't he have been invited by the DSS instead of invading his houses and sealing them off in a commando-liked manner?

"Nigerians must therefore rise against this emerging dictatorship and save the country's democracy from imminent collapse because today, it is Col. Dasuki, tomorrow it can be any other person."

Obama becomes 1st sitting president to visit prison; pushes reform

Posted: 17 Jul 2015 11:25 AM PDT

On Thursday, President Barack Obama visited the Federal Correctional Institution El Reno, a medium-security facility near Oklahoma City, becoming the 1st sitting president to visit a federal prison.
Earlier this week, President Barack Obama commuted the prison sentences of 46 people serving lengthy jail terms for nonviolent drug offenses.

Officials opened a cell for the president so that he could see how prisoners are confined. The cell contained: "a double bunk bed and third bed along the wall, a toilet and sink, along with a small bookcase and three lockers." "Three full-grown men in a 9-by-10 cell," the president noted.

The president sat with some six inmates who told him of their experiences both inside and outside prison.
"When they describe their youth and their childhood, these are young people who made mistakes that aren't that different than the mistakes I made," Obama said.
He added that had the men had support structures growing up, they may have made vastly different choices. The sentiment is part of a bigger push from the Obama administration to end harsh punishments for nonviolent drug offenders, which includes the elimination of mandatory minimum sentences.

Obama said that the US has become immune to the number of young people incarcerated for long periods of time for stupid mistakes.
"It's not normal," he said."It's not what happens in other countries. What is normal is teenagers doing stupid things. What is normal is young people making mistakes."

He added,
"We've got to be able to distinguish between dangerous individuals who need to be incapacitated and incarcerated versus young people who, in an environment in which they are adapting, but if given different opportunities, a different vision of life, could be thriving the way we are."

Recently, the Tony Elumelu Foundation welcomed 1000 entrepreneurs from all over Africa to the Covenant University, Ota for the TEEP Bootcamp. The bootcamp had various remarkable guests and public figures speak to the successful 1000 entrepreneurs selected by the Tony Elumelu Foundation.

One of such speakers was Lanre Olusola popularly known as The Catalyst and recognized as a top notch Life Coach and Psychologist in Africa.


Lanre Olusola, who was one of the first speakers at the bootcamp, gave a session that everyone who attended will never forget in a hurry as he practically tore the place down with his energy and motivational presentation.

He also released what he called "early release copies" of his new book, The Money Book on that day and autographed some copies plus gave gifts to some lucky participants.


According to Olusola, to be successful in any career path especially as an entrepreneur, one has to know and understand the principles and laws of money. In his words, "Money is given to all but not received, multiplied and sustained by all" 

 "The Catalyst, I am the first Kenyan to get your book, The Money Book" Eric Onyambu; a Kenyan rep tweeted excitedly. When asked when The Money Book will be available to everyone, he mentioned that early release copies will be available for purchase from the 22nd of July and will be sold on Jumia, Konga, Amazon, Terra Kulture, Laterna, The Hub Media and many other bookstores.
