‘I went to the EFCC office with just Paul,’ he remarked. My lawyer wasn’t there with me. After I handed over all the paperwork, an officer examined it and inquired as to whether Peter had signed it. I indicated his signature For him.

I displayed to him the CAC certifications that were used to launch Northside Entertainment and Square Records.

‘You’re even more than P-Square,’ they said. I replied, ‘I’m not sure what you’re saying.’ They said, ‘Look, you have a forty percent share entitlement, and the two have thirty percent each.” I answered, ‘Well, you can see for yourself; I’m not supposed to say it with my mouth.’

In order to demonstrate that everyone involved had reached a consensus on a sharing formula, he claimed to have also given the anti-graft agency a memorandum of agreement, or MOU.

Jude said, ‘They [EFCC officers] started asking me some annoying questions, like where I got the money to build my house in Ikoyi.’ mentioning that a portion of the building’s funding came from selling his American home and taking out loans from friends and family.

Jude revealed, ‘I have not been with P-Square for the past eight years, since 2016.’ The brothers’ feud started in 2013 and lasted until the group’s formal breakup in 2016.

Jude claims that when the brothers tried to get back together in 2021, it got worse because of unsolved issues.

He continued by saying that there had been prior unsuccessful attempts by a number of well-known Nigerians to reunite P-Square.

‘There have been numerous attempts to bring Psquare together, but to no effect: Emeka Offor, the late Ifeanyi Uba, Dantata, Atiku, Peter Obi, governors, ministers, our village king, etc.,’ he claimed.

Utomi Responds to Amosun’s ‘Blacklist’ After Jet Seizure

Utomi Responds to Amosun's 'Blacklist' After Jet Seizure

Utomi claimed he had never done business with the administration of Ogun State.

Ibikunle Amosun has come under fire from economist Pat Utomi for allegedly being placed on a blacklist by the Ogun State House of Assembly prior to his appointment as the state’s governor.

Utomi refuted having any commercial dealings with the Ogun State government that would have made him eligible for a blacklist during his appearance as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily on Monday.

Why would I have been placed on a blacklist, he asked? Ogun and I have never done business in a way that would have caused them to put me on a whitelist, let alone a blacklist.

Read Also: NEC will urgently meet Saturday at the NLC’s request.

I don’t conduct any business at all with state governments due to policy reasons. The sole occasion where it would become essential in the context of land issues, as the government in Nigeria is the only entity with jurisdiction over land issues.

Why was I put on a blacklist by the House of Assembly? For what reason? It was the first time I had ever transacted business with Ogun State.

I was shocked to hear that for the first time in my life and it makes me wonder how public officials can accuse me of such ridiculous things. For what reason, if any, was I placed on a blacklist?

In response to Utomi’s claim that he had broken the terms of the contract with respect to the canceled agreement with the Chinese company Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Co. Limited, Amosun called the professor “entitled.’

Before he did, Amosun was answering Utomi’s claim about a shelved Ogun agriculture-related project taken up residence in office.

But in response, Utomi stated on Monday that he has never done business with the administration of Ogun State.

Utomi continued her speech by criticizing Nigeria for having a ‘unnecessary’ jet fleet and stating that the planes were seized.

Sincerely, I had no idea what caused the seizure when I initially learned about it.

We’ve done it again, I thought to myself. Because I was upset, I wondered why Nigeria had such a large fleet and whether there really was a need for a presidential fleet.

‘Presidential fleets are not present in many nations that are significantly wealthy than Nigeria.

Generally speaking, the British, from whom we acquired our modern-day knowledge of statecraft, don’t have A prime minister’s plane. For work-related travel, the prime minister rents a plane.

‘That’s why we would put ourselves in such an embarrassing situation, that was my initial thought.’

For a long time, I have been issuing warnings about this.

Nigeria suffers greatly as a result of the governors of several sub-nationals acting so recklessly when entering into and exiting agreements with foreign organizations.

Since many companies believe Nigeria’s institutions are untrustworthy, many of them will not open branches there.

Because Nigeria is unable to provide them with justice and because boundaries are unclear, they believe.

‘In many state governments, when a governor steps down, the next one takes over and, without considering the needs of the implications for the nation and his state in terms of how seriously the international community views them.’

I therefore made the decision to draw attention to my own experience, which occurred precisely as the event that resulted in the presidential jets being seized, after realizing that this was the general pattern.

Numerous businessmen have experienced this, but they choose to lick their wounds and go on since they lack the funds to file an arbitration request with an international court.

‘Ogun State is not the only example. I said that I recently had a book published. Several case studies that I published are included in the book.

One of the incidents involved the exact actions taken in a different Nigerian state that resulted in a foreign business in South Africa, departing the nation, which resulted in enormous losses since the governor chose to engage in shady activities following his resignation.

I was informed that the former governor of Ogun State had thoughts critical of me after I made the comments.

And it struck me then that this is just another major issue facing Nigeria: many who have held public office lack the self-control to tell plain, straightforward realities in polite company.

I have only ever done business with Ogun State once, and that was when we were working on a project to create an agricultural value chain.

On the other hand, Manchester United has a rich history of talented midfielders, and if they are considering selling one, it could open up a lot of possibilities for both clubs.

The dynamics of the transfer market can be quite fascinating. For Tottenham, acquiring a midfielder from United could provide them with the depth and quality they need to compete at the highest level, especially with their ambitions in both domestic and European competitions.

Meanwhile, for Manchester United, selling a midfielder could be part of a larger strategy to reshape their squad, perhaps to make room for new signings or to balance their finances.

Fans will be eagerly watching how this situation unfolds. The transfer window is always a time of hope and anticipation, and every rumor can spark a flurry of discussions among supporters.

It’s also a reminder of how interconnected the football world is, with clubs constantly negotiating and strategizing to build the best teams possible.

As we wait for more concrete updates, it’s a great time to reflect on what this could mean for both clubs.

If Tottenham secures a talented midfielder, it could significantly enhance their performance on the pitch.

Conversely, if United decides to part ways with a key player, it could lead to a shift in their playing style or formation.

Let’s keep our fingers crossed for some thrilling developments in the coming days! Football is always full of surprises, and that’s part of what makes it so enjoyable to follow.

Whether you’re a Spurs fan or a Red Devils supporter, there’s always something to look forward to in the beautiful game!

Fans of both clubs are eagerly following the developments, with social media buzzing with opinions and predictions.

Supporters at Tottenham are particularly optimistic, believing that adding a player of his caliber could tip the balance in their fight for a top-four finish.

Conversely, United’s fans are divided; some are sad to see a familiar face depart, while others acknowledge the necessity of such a move for the club’s long-term ambitions.

As the transfer window approaches, the pressure intensifies, and both clubs will need to make swift decisions.

Analysts believe that while this potential transfer could reshape lineups, it may also set the stage for further movements within the squad, with United perhaps eyeing reinforcements of their own.

The football world will undoubtedly be watching closely as this story develops, eager to see how it will play out on and off the pitch.

SERAP informs Akpabio and Abbas of the N'Assembly's monthly expenses.

Godswill Akpabio, the president of the Senate, and Tajudeen Abbas, the speaker of the House of Representatives, have been challenged by the Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project to provide the ‘exact amount of monthly running, costs’ payable to National Assembly members.

The group then asked that the leaders submit a report detailing the ‘spending details of any such running costs.’

Viztadaily News Online was able to secure a copy of a statement dated August 17, 2024, which was signed by Kolawole Oluwadare, the Deputy Director of SERAP.

The recent debate over each senator’s ‘jumbo pay’ has given rise to SERAP’s request.

Senators are paid N750,000 in salary plus an additional N13.5 million for operational expenses each month, according to a former senator named Shehu Sani.

A contention refuted by the Fiscal Commission and Revenue Mobilization Allocation Commission.

The Nigerian Constitution 1999 (as amended) and the nation’s international commitments, SERAP clarified in the statement,

that the purpose of their appeal was to ‘promptly end the alleged practice by the National Assembly of fixing its salaries, allowances, and running costs.’

In addition, SERAP suggested that the NASS leaders stop the ‘alleged practice of paying running costs into the personal accounts of lawmakers’ and that any ‘alleged misuse or mismanagement of the running costs’ ought to be reported to the relevant anti-corruption organizations for examination and legal action.

We are worried about parliamentarians’ practices of fixing their salary, allowances, and operating expenditures, as well as the opacity of these practices,’ the statement said in part. in the millions of naira that legislators spent on overhead.

Legislators must uphold accountability and transparency on the precise amounts of their salary, benefits, and operating expenses as part of their constitutional oath of office.

‘The National Assembly is not authorized to set its own salaries, allowances, or operating expenses. This is due to paragraph N, section 32(d) of the Nigerian Constitution.’

According to SERAP, proper accountability and the return of any ‘misused or mismanaged running costs collected by’ NASS members would ‘build trust in democratic institutions and strengthen the rule of law,’

Enabling legislators to carry out their duties in accordance with the constitution and other laws, among other things.

The statement went on, saying that Nigerians have a right to examine how their legislators spend their Commonwealth funds and taxation.

The honest and faithful performance of public officials, especially parliamentarians, is another entitlement that Nigerians possess.

Additionally, it is abundantly evident from the accusations that the members are abusing their trusted public positions.

People would have more faith in the National Assembly’s honesty and integrity if the MPs’ alleged habit of adjusting their own salary, benefits, and operating expenses was stopped.

Under your direction, the Senate and House of Representatives would demonstrate that they are able to put more emphasis on serving Nigerians’ interests than on their own needs.

‘Within seven days of the receipt and/or publishing of this letter,’ the organization warned, failing to act on its recommendations will result in ‘necessary legal steps to compel you and other members of the National Assembly to grant our proposal in the best interests of the public.

Senator Sumaila Kawu, a member for Kano South, disclosed on Wednesday that his monthly take-home pay totals more over N21 million.

This information was made public less than twenty-four hours after the Revenue Mobilization Allocation and Fiscal Commission reported that the monthly pay and allowances of the 109 senators in the upper house equal N1.06 million.

‘My monthly salary is less than N1 million,’ Kawu stated. In the event of reductions, the salary amounts to roughly 600,000 Naira plus a small amount.

On Thursday, though, Kawu’s assertion was refuted by the Senate, which was represented by Yemi Adaramodu (Ekiti South).

Ogun ex-officials oppose a Chinese firm in Presidential Jets fraud.

Ogun ex-officials oppose a Chinese firm in Presidential Jets fraud.

Ibikunle Amosun and Gbenga Daniel, two former Ogun State governors, have promised to aid the Federal Government in regaining the national assets that a French court had confiscated.

Three presidential jets—a Dassault Falcon 7X, a Boeing 737, and an Airbus 330—were seized as a result of a court order obtained by a Chinese company, Zhongshan Fucheng Industrial Investment Company Limited.

The Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone firm was established in 2007 by a joint venture agreement between the Ogun State Government, Zhongshan, and an additional firm.

However, the agreement between the parties collapsed in the first half of 2016, and Zhongshan proceeded to file unsuccessful lawsuits in Nigerian federal and state courts, attempting to reclaim its contractual rights.

But after When the French court heard the case, damages were granted to the corporation. The court ordered Nigeria to hold off on transferring or selling its three presidential jets until the Chinese company received the $74.5 million that was granted to them.

In separate remarks on Saturday, the former governors called Zhongshan a con artist and said the company’s demands for payment lacked merit.

Amosun claimed that Nigeria should not lend Zhongfu, also known as Zhongshan,

Any consideration because doing so would equate to supporting ‘an unlawful entity without locus standi to appropriate our common patrimony,’ according to a statement he signed on Saturday.

He maintained that there was no room for discussion.

‘Government is a continuum at different levels, and the various segments of events leading to this,’ the speaker stated a regrettable incident happened prior to, during, and following our presidency.

On May 29, 2011, our administration went into effect. The Ogun Guangdong Free Trade Zone was the subject of management rights claims made by two distinct groups of Chinese firms very soon after we assumed office: Messrs.

FXEs for Zhongfu International Investment and China Africa Investment are provided.

‘Within the zone and its surrounding villages, the business disagreement and rivalry between the Chinese concerns quickly escalated into a violent rivalry that disrupted smooth economic operations and placed public safety and tranquility at risk.

There were disputes over who, between the two, was the legitimate agent of Guangdong Province, China, the original joint venturer, and thus who was in charge of overseeing the area.

While posing as a sincere and concerned renter, Zhongfu International Investment FXE zone shareholder, who then wanted to be designated as temporary zone managers,

Divulged extremely harmful and destructive information about the Guangdong Province official representatives, the Joint Venturer, and the legitimate zone managers, China Africa Investment FXE.

The lawmaker mentioned that Zhongfu was named an acting zone manager by the state administration on March 15, 2012.

According to him, the decision was made to stop unwholesome growth in the area until after a fact-finding investigation was finished.

The former governor claimed, meanwhile, that Zhongfu’s accusations against China Africa were eventually found to be false by the authorities.

He said that Zhongfu’s operations were intended to convert state-owned assets of Guangdong Province in China and de-market China Africa.

Amosun continued, saying that following receipt of a diplomatic message dated March from the Chinese government China Africa was identified by the state administration as the legitimate investor on November 11, 2016.

‘We complied with the Chinese government’s request after consulting with the appropriate government agencies.’

‘We do remember that Zhongfu International Investment FXE filed legal and business rights petitions with Nigerian courts in various jurisdictions. All four of their legal cases ended in failure.

‘We also sought guidance on the appropriate course of action from the State Security Services and the overseeing organization, NEPZA. As a result, we formally terminated Zhongfu International Investment FXE on May 27, 2016,’ he stated.

Amosun maintained that the matter constituted a trade dispute between two Chinese firms, as shown by a final ruling handed on March 29, 2017. affiliation with the Federal Government or Ogun State.

Zhongfu’s administration defended its activities at all levels prior to its May 2019 departure from power, he pointed out, and his attempts to petition various Abuja authorities had failed.

The claim that anyone was harassed, threatened, or physically assaulted by police or security personnel is untrue.

Should such a circumstance arise, it would presumably originate from the competing parties striving to surpass each other. Security organizations are able to confirm the facts and look into the claim further.

It is imperative that Nigeria refuses to lend any consideration to Zhongfu International Investment FXE, as doing so would be tantamount to condoning and enabling an illicit organization lacking legal standing to take our shared heritage.

Considering the foregoing, this The handling of Zhongfu International Investment FXE should be modeled by Nigeria’s handling of the P&ID issue. Negotiation has no foundation.

In order to make sure that Zhongfu International Investment FXE or any other organization does not defraud Nigeria, I am prepared to collaborate with government agencies in whatever role.

We are worried that an initial disagreement between two Chinese nationals and firms has turned into an illegal attempt to seize Nigeria’s sovereign assets, just like any other Nigerian would be.

This cannot be tolerated by any decent person, he said. It cannot continue.

Daniel stated that he was prepared to supply any documentation that would support the Federal Government in its legal action against the Chinese company.

The Senator standing in for Ogun East Senatorial District further pledged to assist President Bola Tinubu in resolving the national disgrace using ‘diplomatic means.’

Every Nigerian should be concerned about this legal enigma, according to Daniel, since it involves commonwealth and collective national assets.

The fact that this case is pending in multiple courts across multiple nations and that any discussion about it is subject to adjudication should also be acknowledged.

‘Let us reiterate, nevertheless, that the Ogun/Guangdong Free Trade Zone project is still in existence, and numerous Nigerians are employed there as we speak, in addition to numerous companies that are continuing to operate lawfully,’ he continued.

FG alerts states to

Additionally, the federal government has advised the 36 state governments not to participate in foreign or international negotiations without first receiving permission from belonging to the Foreign Affairs Ministry.

This was said in an Abuja statement on Saturday by Yusuf Tuggar, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, in the midst of the Ogun State Government and Zhongshan’s contract dispute.

Tuggar emphasized that in order to prevent such problems in the future, it is crucial to register international agreements with the Federal Government and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The minister pointed out that the deal between the Ogun State Government and the Chinese corporation was negotiated without the Federal Government’s knowledge, leading to the seizure of national assets.

He emphasized that experienced parties with the proper education and expertise were needed for international talks, and that subnational entities shouldn’t participate in these discussions on their own.

‘Part of the issue arises when sub-national actors, such as state governments,’ the statement continued.

without consulting the Federal Government or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, take it upon themselves to enter into agreements and international arrangements. When things go wrong, we are left to handle the issue.

It is crucial, therefore, that any such agreements be filed with the Federal Government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the embassy, and the mission there.

We are unaware of this agreement that Ogun State engaged into during a previous administration—not this governor.

The only thing we know is that they are pursuing assets in Nigeria.

For this reason, sub-national actors actually have no business engaging in foreign or international discussions.

It’s important to have someone with experience in individuals in this field who possess the knowledge and expertise required to negotiate these kinds of agreements.’
