President Buhari's Family Disowns Fake TWITTER, FACEBOOOK & Other Social Media Link To Them

Following enquiries by a few foreign missions on the raging online controversy about unsavory comments against some foreign leaders purportedly made by her, we wish to state categorically that Zahra is indeed on Twitter but the offending handle @Zahra_Buhari has stopped being her own for a long time since it was compromised by hackers.

Tweets by this handle are therefore not her own and should be disregarded and considered as the work of hackers seeking to cause mischief between this country and other friendly states.

Zahra's authentic handle is @ZmBuhari and any handle other than this on Twitter should be considered as fake and therefore fraudulent.

APC In Disarray: Way forward Truncated But Party Supremacy Stands

Ashiwaju.org was reliably informed by Presidency sources, yesterday, that part of the reasons for the seeming prolonged process of resolving the crisis in the All Progressives Congress, APC, may be the slightly differing positions of President Muhammadu Buhari and Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, a former governor of Lagos State, regarded as a leader and financier of the party.

Specifically, the sources disclosed that the Friday NEC meeting of the party “brought to the open the seeming centrifugal positions of Mr. President and Asiwaju.”

One of the sources added: “At the meeting between the governors and the warring parties that followed the APC NEC parley, Sokoto State governor, Aminu Tambuwal, was mandated to chair a committee of three that would come up with possible resolutions to the crisis.

Transfer of B/Haram prisoners to Anambra: Obiano lied — Peter Obi

Former Governor of Anambra state, Peter Obi , has refuted claims by the state governor Willie Obiano that the transfer of Boko Haram prisoners was concluded in 2012 during the reign of former Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan and Obi as governor of the state.

He expressed shock about Obiano’s claims, describing it as a blatant lie.

Reacting to the claim that Jonathan and Obi were behind the relocation of Boko Haram terrorists to Anambra State, the media aide to Peter Obi, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, said he was shocked that Governor Willie Obiano would personally sign such a release laying claims to what appeared nauseating and childish.

Obienyem said that such a claim would only end up proving to the people that there were more to the relocation than they already knew.

Describing the claim as a blatant lie, Obienyem wondered how an action or a plan concluded by a man who left office almost 16 months ago was being implemented now.

The last has not been heard of Dapo Adaralegbe; the first Nige¬rian transgender who was born a boy, but has now transformed into a lady and now referred to as Stephanie Rose.

Before he left the country, Dapo granted an interview in which he spoke extensively about his life as a trans-sexu¬al, how he is a woman trapped in a man’s body and his ordeal as a student of O.A.U.

He was quoted to have said the follow¬ing: “I was studying Law at the Obafemi Awolowo University, (OAU), Ife. I am of the 1995 set, but I had to leave school in 2001 because of pressures. People were too harsh on me; they did not understand me at all.

EL-RUFAI TO SUE NEWSPAPER OVER N90BN ASSETS REPORT

The Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai, on Thursday announced that he has directed his lawyers to sue The Union newspaper over a report by the paper that he declared owning N90billion and 40 mansions.
“After a busy few weeks as governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai is dismayed by the blatant falsehood being practised as journalism by The Union newspapers,” the governor’s spokesperson, Samuel Aruwan, said in a statement. “He has consequently directed his legal team to vigorously enforce his rights to protect his reputation from the vandalism of irresponsible hacks.”
The statement added, “The Union chose to write a spurious story alleging N90b as his assets declaration without seeing the declaration made by Malam El Rufai. The circle of blackmail that did the story claimed they heard a rumour, and they pursued the rumour so vigorously they transformed it into news.
“When some of their cohorts made contact with the governor’s media team insisting that they respond to rumour, they were told that it is better if they chose the more legitimate route of agitating for a public asset declaration.
