2019 elections: Internet shutdown looms, FG imports equipment from Israel says Fayose - ITREALMS

The immediate past governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Peter Ayodele Fayose has alleged that the Federal Government of the All Progressive Congress (APC) has concluded plans to shut the telecommunications networks including the Internet for the purposes of manipulating the forthcoming general elections, reports ITREALMS.

Fayose made this allegation through his Twitter handle, @GovAyoFayose, on Tuesday evening.

As said by him, he has it from high authorities that the Federal Government imported jamming equipment from Israel for this purpose.

The telecom infrastructure shutdown, he said, would commence from 5am on Saturday till 5pm on Sunday.

This, ITREALMS gathered, he said, would make it impossible for Nigerians to use the Internet and make phone calls during the elections.

Also, he alleged that the imported equipment from Israel has been installed already and was on trial last Thursday and Friday, when calls were purportedly not going through across networks.

The tweet which has since attracted 1,300 comments and 3,800 retweets had some 5,600 likes as at the time of filing this report.

Fayose incurred N155.79bn debt for Ekiti says Feyemi - ITREALMS

ITREALMS:
*As Ekiti Speaker beraes Fayose for emolument denials
The Ekiti State Governor, Dr Kayode Fayemi has put the debts incurred by his predecessor, Ayodele Fayose at N155,791,785,214.08, reports ITREALMS.

Disclosing this Thursday in a State-of-the-State address at the State House of Assembly, Governor Fayemi said the sum was the total debt profile of Ekiti State as at 16th October, 2018, stressing that he inherited "a State that was in total chaos and a people severely disorientated under a suppressive government who had raised and promoted deceit into statecraft."

Fayemi spoke just as the Speaker of the House , Hon Adediran Alagbada lamented that the immediate past administration of ex-Governor Fayose, denied the House members their salaries and furniture allowances despite making appropriations that covered such expenses.

The governor stated that his administration had distanced itself from "political witch-hunting and media trials to score cheap political goals" but decided to give the State of the State in order to use the "lessons of the past to create the future of our dreams".

Fayemi disclosed that Ekiti State under Fayose received #184.83 billion as income between 2014 and 2018; noting that the former governor had no reason to owe salaries given the huge revenue that accrued to the State during the immediate past administration.

While giving a breakdown of the debt profile, Fayemi said though borrowing is in itself not a bad thing, borrowing to fund self-serving and unproductive projects is unpatriotic.

He gave the breakdown of the debt as follows:

Loans and bonds #57,694,460,298.79; salary arrears #16,777,257,608.52; outstanding leave bonus #4,402,585,167.53; corpers allowances #28,883,959.00; outstanding subventions #4,770,676,870.98; pension and gratuity arrears #39,775,919,872.02, and outstanding contractors claims #28,575,946,572.25.

Others include Outstanding furniture allowance #470,266,137.09; severance allowance #586,144,167.51; monitized vehicle arrears #101,243,387.24; outstanding warrants #386,77,450.64; outstanding FIRS obligation #184,215,623.43; Traditional rulers arrears #150,214,204.10; judgement debts #95,048,963.35 and other outstanding liabilities #1,792,144,931.62.

Fayemi said the debt profile was a product of the audit carried out by Pricewater Coopers (PWC).

The governor stated that he had used the first 100 days of his administration to "lay the needed foundation to restore our values and restore Ekiti State to its rightful position in the comity of States".

"This is our first stewardship in the series of others to be witnessed in the life of this administration in the fulfilment of our obligation to Ekiti people. As a government, we are more interested in building and strengthening institutions rather than wielding powers or self aggrandizement. This is the world best practice in governance and we are proud to thread that path to attain speedy economic recovery and value restoration for Ekiti State", he said.


He called on corporate organisations, donor agencies, the federal government and Ekiti people to support his administration in moving Ekiti State forward "economically, socially and politically".

Speaking on the forthcoming election, Fayemi urged everyone to play by the rules and be law abiding; urging Ekiti people to use the election to consolidate the gains of his administration in the last 100 days.

In his remarks, the Speaker of the Assembly, Rt Hon Adeniran Alagbada said Ekiti people have now got "new hope through the policies and programmes of the Fayemi-led government".

Alagbada who said the 100 days of Fayemi in government is "better than the four years of Fayose" called on Ekiti people to rally support for the governor to succeed.

He lamented the poor treatment meted out to members of the House by the fayose administration, inspite of their support for the former Governor.

He said, the House had it on record that it made appropriation for for all government expemses and that it was sad that despite their support the former Governor denied them their salaries, allowances and furniture allowances were well provided for in the four budgets they passed during the duration of the administration.

Buhari on life-support, Fayose alleges

The Governor of Ekiti State Mr. Ayodele Fayose has alleged that the ailing Nigerian president, Muhammadu Buhari has been on life-support since he left the country on second medical trip to the United Kingdom, some 54 days ago, reports ITRealms.

Reacting to the recent Sallah message purported released by Buhari via his aides at the presidency, Mr. Fayose alleged that based on the information available to him, President Buhari has been on life-support in the past 21 days, hence he needs every prayer, and urged presidency to tell Nigerians the truth always.

As said by him, yesterday, June 28, marks the 53 days since President Muhammadu Buhari left Nigeria to attend to his health challenges abroad, decrying that “No official information as to his whereabouts and his state of health.”

Fayose noted that like every other Nigerians, “I do not wish the president dead, I have therefore maintained dignified silence since we were told that the President embarked on his second medical trip abroad this year.”

He also condemned the recorded audio message which was released by the Presidency as the President’s Ramadan message to Nigerians “necessitated my setting the records straight today.”

He described the audio message in a press statement made available to ITRealms Wednesday, as a damage-control strategy aimed at further deceiving Nigerians, stressing he therefore elected in good conscience to state as follows:

“That the audio message does not represent the truth as our President does not only have voice impairment, he has been on life-support since June 6, 2017 at a West-End, London Hospital.

“Of a fact, our First Lady, Her Excellency, Mrs Aisha Buhari was not allowed to see her husband during her last visit to the United Kingdom if only she will be courageous enough to admit.

“Only three Nigerians who are of the President’s cabal are allowed access to the President. I will keep their identities for now.

“Anyone with contrary claim should produce the President to Nigerians within the next 48 hours.

“It is obvious that Nigeria is drifting like the last days of the Yar’Adua’s government.
“Nigerians will recall that I warned against electing President Buhari on the account of his age, health and mental capacity.

Nigerians will also recall that when they released pictures to the press claiming that President Buhari had an interview with Kemi Fadojutimi of “All Eyes on Africa” TV Show in London, on Monday, February 23, 2015, I proved to the whole world that the interview was conducted in suite 881 at Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja.

Hate me or like me, again I am putting Nigerians on notice on the present state of health of our president.

“In closing, let me state that I am not unaware of the various attempts on my life; I am undaunted as I remain committed to truth and fearlessness because a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.

“Dear Nigerians, even though President Buhari needs our prayers and we should keep praying that God takes total control of his situation, it is equally imperative that our leaders must tell us the truth at all times.

“It is time that the President takes the interests of Nigerians above his own and resign from office so that our country can move forward. The fate of Nigeria and its people must not remain in the hands of the Presidency cabal, our country must be set free,” Fayose submitted.
