EFCC BLOCKS GOV. FAYOSE'S ACCOUNT.
they've blocked the Zenith bank accounts of Ekiti state
governor-Fayose Ayodele.
The Governor in a press released also said, that the accounts of a
few of his colleagues were also affected, and pointed accusing fingers
at APC's party chiefs. He made referrence to section 308 of the
constitution while insisting that he had as much immunity as the
president had. He added that his enemies should wait till 2018 when he
leaves office at the end of his tenure.
"Section 308 of the 1999 Constitution gives me immunity just like
the President. I wouldn't know
why these people are intolerant of others and in a
haste. Let them wait till 2018 when I will end my
tenure for them to do their investigation. The
other time the EFCC accused me of embezzling
N1.2 billion poultry project fund, I was the one
who voluntarily reported myself to the EFCC.
"It was when I got a hint of their move that I
wrote a cheque to withdraw some money from
the account and I came myself. I was denied
access to the account as I was told the EFCC has
placed restriction on it. That is executive rascality
taken too far. Even when I had case with EFCC
my properties were not affected.
"If they say they are investigating money spent
on election, does it mean it is only Peoples Democratic Party that has
thieves, to them APC has no thieves." He complained angrily.
"A lot of petitions were written against former
Governor Kayode Fayemi and the EFCC has not
asked him a question up till now. The diversion of N850 million fund
meant for Ekiti State Universal Basic Education Board is there and
nobody is asking Fayemi questions.
"Even the President cannot claim to be an angel.
The estate he built in Abuja is known to us. His
wife was indicted over the Halliburton Scandal.
When that American, Jefferson, was being
sentenced, the President's wife was mentioned as
having wired $170,000 to Jefferson. Her name
was on page 25 of the sentencing of Jefferson.
We can serialize the judgment for people to see and read. We will not
allow this and we will defend our rights within the law of the land.
Those who think they can silence me are
mistaken. I am a person who is not perturbed by
things like this. Let them wait till 2018 when I will finish my term
and I will be the one to go and meet them. I won't run away and let
them
investigate the whole world, I have nothing to
hide or fear," he said.
A source at EFCC said that governors were not immune to
investigatio, and that for the investigation to go on governor
Fayose's accounts had to be blocked.

FUNNY! THIS GUYS ARE JUST GLUED TO THEIR PHONES!

above of his team mates pinging away at their phones. They sure did a
lot of shouting and celebration on the pitch, but it probably ended at
the final whistle. As the dressing looked subdued. All players seemed
more interested in updating their social network profiles than
discussing the match.even after a big win.

4-1 trashing of Venezuela in the Copa America.
JUST IN! TRUMP SACKS HIS CAMPAIGN MANAGER
surprise move by sacking his embattled campaign manager Corey
Lewandowski. The campaign manager made headlines recently when he
forcefully grabbed a reporter's arm while trying to stop her from
moving forward with a question at a campaign event. He was an original
member of Trump's campaign team.
There have also been wide spread reports of an enstranged
relationship between Lewandaski and top members of the team. Including
Trump's chief strategiser Paul Manafort. The feud between Corey and
Paul Manafort has been on ever since Manafort came into the team. Most
times he hasn't given Manafort the breathing space to take take out
decisions. Some times overuling others.
In a statement to announce Corey's sack, Trump's campaign team
appreciated the efforts of the former campaign manager, especially in
creating a historic record of the highest number of votes gathered
during primaries.
"The Donald J. Trump Campaign for President,
which has set a historic record in the Republican
Primary having received almost 14 million votes,
has today announced that Corey Lewandowski
will no longer be working with the campaign,"
In another statement made by Trump's campaign spokes woman- Hope
Hicks. She said:
"The campaign is grateful to Corey for his hard
work and dedication and we wish him the best in
the future."
For now Manafort is totally in charge of the campaign.
The news was received with joy by several quaters of the campaign team.
A top aide of Trump Michael Caputo took to twitter to share his
happiness at the development. He posted:
"ding dong the witch is dead"
The news comes weeks after reports of an internal tug of war in the
team became obvious. An anonymous source revealed that " 20 percent
percent of Manafort's time was spent dealing with Leywandowski."
Another source described the situation this way:
" Lewandowski, a Trump loyalist without major campaign
experience, repeatedly sparred with Manafort, a longtime insider who
was brought on as the campaign looked to close the sale in the primary
and pivot toward the general election."
TORN JERSEYS AND BALL BURSTS AS FRANCE AND SWITZERLAND SHARE POINTS.
was marred with many incidents of torn ripped up shirts and in a rare
incident, the addidas ball costing £105 burst open during the match.
This has led to deregatory comments being thrown at Puma, the
manufacturer of the shirts and addidas the manufacture of the ball.
It's costumary for footie stars to exchange their jerseys after a
match, but almost five switzerland players were forced to change their
torn shirts while the match was on.
Switzerland and stoke player- Shaquiri jokingly said he hopes puma
are not manufacturing condoms.
Other players changed theirs too.
Granit Xhaka changed twice. And about three other players too. Not
counting that a few tears were were discoverd on the shirts of some
players after the match.
Switzerland goalie said:
"It can happen, it means there was a fight on the pitch"
But footage show the tugs and 'pulls' that led to the tears
weren't that rough.
"Five Puma teams have played 10 games in this tournament without such
problems. Our product people are currently investigating the shirt
material. We will provide a further update when we have one." A puma
spokesman said.
NEW FOREX POLICY: OVER N100 CHOPPED OFF AS MARKET OPENS.
Incredible...
As the new CBN policy took effect this morning, the market has seen
almost N100 taken away from the naira. As the Naira was quoted at
N253 against the dollar, and there are chances the rate could go
further down before the closing bell. The CBN last week, decided to
scrap its fixed exchange system and handsoff naira control. And it
looks like the policy is paying off right. The new policy will now
allow the market to ultimately determine naira value. I call this True
Forex.
So...no more dollar subsidy that never ceases to favour the rich.
This ultimately means that if you had $1000 in your account which was
what about N360,000 days ago,you would be what just N260,000 or less
by the end of today. But don't worry, your loss is the gain of over
160million Nigerians.
