Buhari misrepresented in his i'm too old statement-Presidency

The presidency has claimed, president Buhari's statement about being too old to perform was misinterpreted ..According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina,
On Monday evening, President Muhammadu Buhari spoke with the Nigerian community at the Nigerian Consulate in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Speaking extempore, because according to him, he wanted to “speak from the heart,” the President urged them to be good ambassadors of Nigeria, a country he went to the warfront to keep together.
Still extolling the virtues of our country, Nigeria, the President, who had served as a military governor of the then North-Eastern State at 33 years old, declared:”I wish I became Head of State when I was a governor. Now at 72, there is a limit to what I can do.”
The above comments have been reported by some newspapers to mean that the President was saying he was too old to cope with the demands of his office. Far from it.

As the saying goes, “old wines are tasty” and the President Buhari we have today is a man, like old wine, that has got tastier. At 72, yes, he can’t be called a youth, but he has in quantum the wisdom, the patience, temperance and forbearance that age brings. And all these virtues he has brought to the Presidency, to make a difference in our national life.
The President assured the Nigerian community in South Africa that his Administration will make  a positive impact on the country. And that he would do.
Insecurity as symbolized by insurgency will be brought to an end, corruption will be fought to a standstill, employment will be created for the teeming army of unemployed, the economy will be revived, and the quality of life of Nigerians will take an upward swing again. These will not come by a sudden flight, but they will happen in the life of this Administration.
At 72, the Buhari persona has not changed. He remains the simple, honest, incorruptible patriot he has always been. And because Nigerians earnestly desired change, that was why they voted for him overwhelmingly at the general elections in March, this year. All the virtues and values of the Buhari persona will be deployed into governance in the weeks and months ahead.
The Nigerian community in South Africa was enthralled as President Buhari spoke with them on Monday. In fact, leaving the venue was an effort, as they swarmed round the President, who shook hands with as many of them as he could.
They took his message well. That is the essence of good wine. It gets better with age. And it is a message for all Nigerians, both at home and in the Diaspora.

Ritualists kill 21 year old girl in Ogun(photos)

The dismembered body of a female student of a polytechnic in Ogun State, Miss Morenikeji Owolabi, has been discovered by policemen.
Punch gathered on Wednesday that the body was found in a shrine on Tuesday in Eposo-Akaka community, Isara, in the Remo North Local Government Area of the state.

The 21-year-old victim, who hailed from Ekiti State, but lived in Isara, was said to have been lured to the shrine by a herbalist, Femi Awise, who is currently on the run.She was a science laboratory undergraduate of the institution. 

However, five suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder. The suspects are an okada rider who conveyed Owolabi to the shrine, Adeyemi Ademolu; an apprentice to Awise, Omolaso Taiwo; Lateef Ali, Akinyemi Dare and Sokoya Wasiu.

The state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Valentine Ntomchukwu, who led journalists to the shrine, said investigation had commenced to unravel the circumstances which led to Morenikeji’s murder and the motive behind it.
The shrine, made with weather-beaten corrugated iron sheets, contained a large number of fetish objects.An armchair, covered with cloth, was placed at a strategic spot inside the shrine. It was flanked by other plastic chairs. There were also bottles of palm oil and other liquid littering the floor.
There was also an iron pot filled with what was said to be cooked flesh of the victim, from which an offensive odour was coming from.The decomposing legs of the victim, dug out of a shallow grave, were also recovered. 

However, the head of the victim and other vital parts like breasts, hands, and vagina among others were not found. But something that was said to be her liver could be seen being roasted outside the shrine.

The police said Awise perpetrated his “evil deeds” under the guise of being a herbalist and a farmer.
A maize farm was found around the shrine.

The local government chairman, Femi Soyemi, expressed shock at the discovery.
 “I am shocked because I never expect that this kind of horrible and brutal acivity exists here.”
Ntomchukwu said the shrine was discovered through discreet investigation by his men.
He said,
 “We were able to locate the shrine through a discreet investigation by our men. We were able to track the okada rider that took the victim on his motorcycle to the shrine.
“Five suspects have been arrested and investigation has commenced, we will leave no stone unturned to get other fleeing suspects.
“I am appealing to parents that it is not only enough to send their children to school, they must do a follow-up on them.”
The victim was declared missing since Saturday, June 7. It was those who saw her on the day she was being taken to the shrine by the okada rider that alerted the police, which led to the arrest and the discovery of the shrine.
