Acclaimed king of comedy, Alleluya Atuyota Akprobomere, popularly known as Ali Baba, has confessed that comedienne Helen Paul was the one he referred to in a controversial Instagram post last year.</div>

In the post, Ali Baba berated a ‘female colleague’ who ‘backstabbed’ him after he had recommended her for an event, and as well done several favours for without waiting for any compensation in return.</div>

Tatafo, as Helen is fondly called, later posted a comment, literally claiming that if she was the one in question, Ali Baba would have personally called her to express his grievances.</div>

Fayose wants budget 2016 withdrawal to stop embarrassment

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to withdraw the 2016 budget to avoid further national embarrassment it has already caused.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
In a statement issued on Tuesday by his Special Assistant on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka, the governor said:<em> “The President should admit that there were avoidable errors in the budget and since he is human and not immune to errors, he should </em><em>simply do the needful by presenting a new and credible budget to the National Assembly.”</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Reacting to the revelation made by the Health Minister, Isaac Adewole, last week while addressing the Senate Committee on Health that the figures of the original budget had been changed and therefore should be discarded and re-submited to the committee, the governor said:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<em>“Last week, we were told that the Senate discovered a sum of N10 billion questionably smuggled into the budget of the Ministry of Education for an allegedly questionable sub-head. Also, we were told of the existence of a budget mafia in the Presidency that was said to be responsible for the embarrassing allocations in the budget.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<em>Before now, we were told that a total of N3.87 billion was allocated for capital projects at the State House Clinic alone, over N700million more than capital allocation to all the 16 federal teaching hospitals combined. Now, a whole minister has come out to say that budgetary provision for his ministry was forged!</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<em>If under a President that says he is fighting corruption, the budget of the country got missing and we are now being told that the budget </em><em>being considered by the National Assembly has been forged, one cannot but be afraid that there is possibility of Nigeria being forged one day, after the original must have gone missing.”</em></div>

<em>“As long as we can estsblish the bonafides of the leadership of Boko Haram, we are prepared as a government to discuss with them on how to get the girls back. But, we have not established any evidence of a credible leadership,”</em> Buhari said.</div>

When President Buhari was asked if the allegedly killed leader of the Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, was still alive, he said: <em>“I receive  conflicting information about the status of Shekau. Some say he has been removed and replaced by a less charismatic terrorist. I think he must be on the run, because out of the 14 local governments that Boko Haram used to call their Caliphate, they do not control any now. They are scattered around the Sambisa forest and they have resorted to attacking soft targets, people in churches, mosques and market places, using improvised explosives devices.”</em></div>

The president when asked if he requested for military help from the West at the G7 summit, said: <em>“Yes. I did, but I don’t want to give details of that in public, at present. As you know, we already have foreign military help in terms of training missions.”</em></div>

Buhari, who frowned at his predecessor for using mercenaries to fight Boko Haram, expressed disappointment at the manner military allocations were embezzled, he asked rhetorically: <em>“How is it that Nigeria’s military, which has a good record across West Africa, cannot claim back to 14 out of 774 local governments from Boko Haram. They have to ask for mercenaries from South Africa? How the mighty has fallen!”</em></div>

<em>“For Africa and the Sahel, the demise of (Muamar) Ghaddafi’s regime led to a lot of armed and trained people, especially those from the Sahel, being dispersed.

When confronted about the allegations that some Nigerians are members of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the Libya city of Sirte. The president said he has not seen any confirmed reports to ascertain such claim. He also denied reports that some Nigerians in the UK were involved in Boko Haram, saying: <em>“No, but if I do, I will immediately raise the issue. A number of Nigerians use the migrant routes to come to the UK to claim asylum, saying their lices are at risk from Boko Haram. Is it legitimate for them to do so?” </em></div>

According to him, the president’s present body language has failed compare to when he ruled before as a military head of state. He said the fear then naturally came because it was a military administration which Nigerians feared dearly.</div>

<em>“We thought Buhari will come in and make everybody smile. That was why Nigerians cheered him when he was coming in but now we are jeering. Things have to change for the better. Nigerians must have food on their table, they must be able to pay their house rents. They will have stable electricity to illuminate their environments, school fees will be paid easily, minimum wage will be paid and so on”. “But tell me, which of these things I have mentioned have we experienced since Buhari came into office? It may sound like criticizing him but we are actually telling him that so far, not so good,”</em> he said.</div>

Dakuku accused Wike to have influenced Supreme Court judgement</div>

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
He said that the judgment was a product of compromise and a move to legalise electoral violence and reward injustice, Daily Post reports.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The APC governorship candidate said this when while addressing a press conference in Port Harcourt on Tuesday, February 9, allegedly that he has it in good authority that Wike met with “<em>one of the Justices of the Supreme Court in Mbaise during an important burial, another at Owerri in a hotel and yet others in Dubai and Saudi Arabia respectively</em>.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Dakuku added that the justices that ruled on the case allegedly decided the matter in his opponent’s favour.</div>

He disclosed further that the governor exposed himself at the thanking service last Sunday <em>“when he confessed that when it came to the Judges, Dr. Peter Odili and the wife Justice Mary Odili [a Justice of the Supreme Court] were his advisers.</em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<em>“This simply confirmed his earlier statements that he had contact with the Justices after several attempts to reach the Chief Justice of the country failed</em>.”</div>

Dakuku statement read in part: “<em>You will recall that on Wednesday, January 27, 2016 the Nigerian Supreme Court handed down judgment on the Rivers State Governorship matter. In that judgment, the apex court upheld the appeal by Gov. Nyesom Wike against the earlier decisions by the Rivers State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal and the Appeal Court which concurrently annulled Nyesom Wike’s election as governor.</em></div>

<em>“Consequent upon the judgment by the Supreme Court, I, the APC Governorship Candidate, Dr. Dakuku Adol Peterside, despite receiving the judgment with mixed feelings, came out to publicly announce my unreserved acceptance of the verdict. However, a few days later, the Governor, while addressing Civil Servants in Port Harcourt exhibited unconscionable indiscretion of the highest order by re-echoing his earlier incendiary statements threatening INEC personnel with death over the forthcoming National and State Assemblies rerun elections</em>.”</div>

In a related development, the national chairman of the APC John Odigie-Oyegun, had called for the investigation of Supreme Court justices.</div>

President Muhammadu Buhari’s Chief Security Officer Bashir Abubakar has issued a circular titled ‘Use of tinted cars around the Presidential Villa, Abuja’.</div>

The document reads in part: “<em>It has been observed that some staff of the Presidential Villa driving tinted cars, especially security personnel are in the habit of refusing to wind down their windscreen for security checks before driving into the villa.</em></div>

Reports say Simon Achuba has been sworn in as the deputy governor of Kogi state following the approval of his nomination by the state House of Assembly.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The Punch reports that Governor Yahaya Bello had sent a letter containing his nomination as deputy governor to the legislators on Monday, 8 February for approval after weeks of deliberations.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
After the endorsement of his position, Achuba was sworn in behind closed doors at the banquet hall of the government house.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Addressing journalists after the inauguration, Alhaji Momoh-Jimoh Lawal, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, said that the approval was in response to a letter by the governor seeking the House’s approval for the nomination.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Alhaji Lawal also told the journalists who were denied entrance to the venue of the inauguration, added that the request and approval of the Assembly was in consonance with Section 191 (3) (c) of the 1999 Constitution (As Amended) which provided for the position of a deputy governor.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
According to him, the consideration of Achuba, who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All progressives Congress (APC) in May, 2015 was to prevent a vacuum from being created in the state government.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
The new deputy governor, before his final approval, was asked to take a bow and go following the submissions of members that as a former member of the Assembly, there was no need to subject him to rigorous screening.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: PT_serif, Georgia, Times, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Achuba was a two-time member of the Assembly having served between 1999 and 2007 and assuming the office of the Deputy Speaker of the house between 2003 and 2007.</div>
