A week after @aishambuhari raised the alarm that a 2 man cabal is holding her husband hostage and taken over his government, her husband, President @MBuhari appoints her into the Presidential Advisory Committee on the Elimination of Drug Abuse. Will this bribery work? #RenosDarts

A book endorsed and with a written foreword by incarcerated former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki, Boko Haram Media War: An Encounter with the Spymaster has bagged the SABRE African Award on Issue and Crisis Management.
The book authored by a crisis communicator, Yushau Abdulhameed Shuaib centred mostly on crisis communication strategies and counter narrative campaigns against Boko Haram propaganda between 2013 to 2017.
The SABRE Africa Award which is the highest honour for Public Relations practice in the continent and endorsed by African Public Relations Association (APRA) recognises the book for providing insights into the Counter-terrorism Campaign against Boko Haram through well-articulated Strategic Crisis Communication plans during the tenure of Sambo Dasuki under President Goodluck Jonathan.
“The quality of work in Africa is improving year on year,” says Paul Holmes, who served as chair of the judges. “We are seeing exceptional campaigns from across the entire region, with increasingly sophisticated use of digital channels and a more integrated approach.”
The book also dispels falsehoods and corrects erroneous impressions on the operations of security agencies in Nigeria by providing factual and accurate narratives of events and datelines.
Published by Image Merchants Promotion Limited, the publishers of PRNigeria, the book also lists some of accomplishments of previous administration on security issues, especially on the procurements of arms and ammunition and recovery of dozens of towns from Boko Haram during the tenure of the former National Security Adviser, Sambo Dasuki under President Goodluck Jonathan.

Reno Omokri, former aide to ex-president Goodluck Jonathan says the price of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), popularly called petrol will soon be increased.
Omokri on Friday in a series of tweets said the government was ashamed to publicly announce the new price to Nigerians
According to him, Buhari’s government will increase the price because they can no longer pay for subsidy which was earlier called a scam under Jonathan’s administration.
He wrote “The Buhari administration is going to increase fuel price sooner than later. Mark my words.
“The only reason for the delay is that they are ashamed to tell Nigerians that they have been paying the same subsidy they claimed was a scam under Jonathan but can no longer afford to pay.”
Recall that the Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Dr Ibe Kachikwu on Friday denied reports of increment in fuel price to N180.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan said Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) must do the right thing at its December convention by electing a courageous chairman that would run the party democratically.
Jonathan stated this when he received one of the party’s national chairmanship aspirants, Tunde Adeniran, in his office in Abuja.
He said that as an opposition party, PDP needed a competent, reliable, courageous and bridge-building chairman who could also correct and tell a seating president the truth.
“We must do the right thing. We must elect a chairman that will run the party democratically.
“We need a courageous chairman that knows that imposition is destructive.
“We need a chairman who by God’s grace if we win election by 2019, when the president makes certain mistakes, he will be courageous enough to correct him.
“We need a chairman that can lead us to victory and sustain that victory,” Jonathan said.
He stressed the need to organise the party well and elect “good materials” that will lead PDP to victory in 2019, saying that PDP could win next general elections if it did the right thing.
“What we need is a person that can give proper leadership for this country, a chairman that can lead us to elect good material for the presidency.
“We need a chairman that will bring the proper change and economic growth for this country.”
He restated that PDP did well from 1999 to 2015, “even though some people came up with propaganda and lies that 16 years of the party in government was a waste.”
“The PDP administration for 16 years did well and will continue to do well but this administration has done nothing. They deployed propaganda and lies at a professional level.”
“In the power sector, we did well to revive it. A state governor attacked our government, saying that any serious government should be able to fix the power challenge within six months.
“Today, APC has been in power for how many years now? Fortunately the then governor is in the APC government as a minister.”
Goodluck Jonathan said that he led government when criticism for increasing the pump price of petroleum from N67 to N97 when global crude price was going for over 100 dollars, was high.
He said that the pump price was later reduced to N87 when the price of crude oil dropped “and they attacked us that it was supposed to be lower.
“Now the global crude oil is about 53 dollars per barrel and the pump price of petrol is N143. Those who attacked us do not say anything because they have seen it.”
Earlier, Adeniran had said that his visit was to seek Jonathan’s support and blessing, and stressed the need for PDP to get its leadership right.
He said that his ambition of becoming national chairman of the party was not just for the fun of it but to run the party the way it was suppose to be run.

Former President Goodluck Jonathan has advised Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership to increase statutory delegates’ number for the party’s elections, especially state and local government primaries, in its Constitution’s review.
Jonathan gave the advice yesterday in his office in Abuja, when he received a delegation of the former Speakers of State Houses of Assembly elected on PDP platform.
He said that one of the major challenges facing the PDP was how it elected candidates and national officers of the party. He said that there would always be crisis over outcome of the party’s primary elections or conventions unless the number of statutory delegates to those elections was reviewed upward to about 70 per cent.
Jonathan said that the party must work out modality in which no one person could influence the choice or number of delegates to elections. He suggested that those who had served at certain levels, including governorship, ministerial, parliamentarian positions at all levels, should be statutory delegates.
“That is the area we have not been able to manage properly that is still creating problem for us. I believe the next constitution amendment should advocate for that area to be properly examined,” he said.

The Ijaw Youth Council (IYC) Worldwide has warned that further attack on former President Jonathan by Nnamdi Kanu of the Indigenous People of Biafra, would be met with appropriate sanctions from Ijaw youths.
The youth council through its Spokesman Daniel Dasimaka, described as uncharitable and disrespectful, Kanu’s comments on ex-President Jonathan.
The umbrella organisation of Ijaw youths said: “It is quite ironic and appalling that anyone will say ex-President Jonathan did nothing for the Southeast, when it is common knowledge in both informed and not-so-informed circles in Nigeria that the Southeast benefited even more than the Southsouth under Dr. Jonathan.
“It is on record that under the then President Jonathan, rehabilitation and expansion works were done on the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport (SMICA), Owerri, Imo State, which he granted an international airport status.
“In terms of appointment, Dr. Jonathan appointed the first female Comptroller-General of Immigration, Mrs. Rose Chinyere Uzoma (an Igbo). He also appointed the first Southeast Chief of Army Staff, Maj.-Gen. Azubuike Ihejirika and first Southeast Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Ogbonnaya Onovo, among others.
“We are calling on the true Igbo leaders to caution Nnamdi Kanu and to bridle his tongue, lest his unguarded rhetoric may strain the good relationship the Igbo and the Ijaw nation, and by extrapolation the Southsouth and Southeast geopolitical zones, have enjoyed over the years.”
