Buhari Orders Arrest of His Wife’s Younger Brother over Fraud
President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered Nigeria’s security agents to arrest his brother-in-law for allegedly extorting money from an unnamed businessman, a close confidante of the Nigerian leader told SR. He said the suspect, named Musa Yola, was the immediate younger brother of Buhari’s wife.
The source disclosed that Musa Yola, also addressed as “Alhaji Yola,” reportedly received N300m from a businessman after promising to provide his dupe with political access to secure an oil block from the Buhari administration.
According to our source, Buhari personally ordered last Monday night that Yola be produced before him in handcuffs in the company of the businessman he duped.
After telling the businessman that he was stupid to part with such significant cash when he should know that he, Buhari, would not participate in fraud, the President ordered agents of the State Security Services (SSS) attached to Aso Rock Villa to thoroughly investigate the scam.
He also ordered SSS to ensure that the businessman recovered his money from his brother-in-law.
An SSS source told Sahara Reporters, “Alhaji Yola has refunded the money to the affected businessman,” and added that: “Alhaji Yola has been released on bail.”

One month after inauguration: Presidency replies PDP's assessment, says its cleaning the party's filth
The Presidency has replied to PDP's assessment of President Buhari's administration one month after inauguration. Olisa Metuh, the Spokesperson of PDP had in a statement released earlier today called on Nigerians to pray for the Buhari led administration, saying that it has been all motion but no movement. In a swift reaction, the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina in a statement released tonight said the new administration is cleaning the filth of the last one
“It is amusing to read what the National Publicity Secretary of the defeated Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Olisa Metuh, considers a 30 days appraisal of the President Muhammadu Buhari administration. He wants Nigerians to join hands in prayers for the government, so that things would begin to move.
What he does not know is that Nigerians had long formed such coalition. They are hands in hands, and that was what gave victory to President Buhari in the March 28, 2015 poll. They had teamed up to uproot an administration that had brought the country to her knees, and was about to tip her off the precipice. And Nigerians have resolved that never would they allow any government to divide them along regional, religious and ethnic fault lines again. The Buhari administration is naturally contemplative because there was absolutely no rhyme or reason to the way PDP ran the country, particularly in the immediate past dispensation. That is why the Augean Stable is being cleaned now, and it requires scrupulous and painstaking planning. Across all sectors, our national life was devalued, and it takes meticulousness and sure-footedness to repair all the breaches. This, the Buhari administration will deliver.
Metuh talks of people round the President conniving with bureaucrats to syphon money from the treasury. This must be deja vu, as it was the pastime of the immediate past administration, and the enormity of the sleaze will be evident when stolen money, to the tune of billions of dollars, is recovered, and returned to the national treasury soon. In the process of time, after all that is being planned by the current administration has matured, and bearing fruits, Nigerians will be able to determine who is serving them acceptably, and who has taken them for a ride. It is just a matter of time. Meanwhile, Metuh and his masters can only rue the missed opportunities to make salutary impact on the lives of Nigerians. They have a long road of regrets to travel,” the statement said.

Buhari Has Traced Nigeria's Looted Funds to UK, Switzerland...
The Muhammadu Buhari-led Federal Government has started tracing looted Nigerian funds to foreign nations with the aim of recovering and repatriating them back to the country for the use of all.

Pete Edochie Says Awolowo Is Nigeria’s Best Politician Ever
Some entertainers are going into politics, are you planning to do so in future?
I don’t like politics. Politicians don’t speak the truth. Regrettably, there is no morality in politics.
It doesn’t justify it. I want people to see me for who I am. If Pete
Edochie says this thing is black, it’s black, there are no two ways to
it. In the next ten years, he still tells you this is black. It gives me
honour, it gives me integrity. But if tomorrow, I join politics and
make a statement, people will begin to analyse it.Wednesday, 24 June 2015

The fact that President Muhammadu Buhari is very comfortable in working
with Babatunde Fashola who is the immediate past governor of Lagos State
is not in doubt. He loves his level of competence.

But as the jostling for cabinet posts in President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration intensifies, there are indications that Fashola has been shortlisted for a big position by Buhari.
