In a recent interview with Pat Robertson’s television network, Donald Trump blathered that antigay conservatives the world over can rest easy knowing that he’s committed to overturning the Supreme Court’s landmark decision that struck down state bans on same-sex marriage nationwide. The Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody asked the GOP presidential frontrunner what he thought of the Log Cabin Republicans calling him “one of the best, if not the best, pro-gay Republican candidates to ever run for the presidency.” Told that Evangelicals want to trust his stance on traditional marriage, Trump responded: “I think they can trust me on traditional marriage… and frankly, I was very much in favor of having the court rule that it goes to states, and let the states decide. And that was a shocking decision for you and for me and for a lot of other people, but I was very much in favor of letting the states decide and that’s the way it looked it was going and then all of a sudden out of

Under the defunct military junta in Nigeria the Constitution was suspended while fundamental rights were put in abeyance. To justify the detention of the so called political extremists and other subversive elements the Buhari/Idiagbon junta promulgated the State Security (Detention of Persons) Decree no 2 of 1984. My colleagues and I in the human rights community were regularly detained under the preventive detention decree . But despite the draconian decree the courts never hesitated to order the release of several persons whose detention was patently illegal. Ironically, General Mohammadu Buhari was later detained by the Babangida junta under Decree No 2 of 1984. During his visit to Edo State last week, President Buhari recalled that he was incarcerated in Benin city for 2 years out of his 3-year incarceration. But upon the restoration of civil rule in May 1999 Decree 2 and other obnoxious decrees and edicts were repealed. In addition, section 35 of the Constitution

The Nigeria integrity challenged President, wasted no time in releasing the funds he reportedly pledged to the US secretary of states, Sen John Kerry and US Ambassador in Abuja to support of Mrs Clinton election. President Buhari an Islamist fundamentalist, have a visible hatred for Mr Donald Trump, especially when the US president elect allegedly made some statement which the Nigerian president sources claimed is demeaning and a threat to the Islamic faith.

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, has admitted that President Muhammadu Buhari is no longer popular like he was during the 2015 general election. “All governments worldwide in between terms lose some degree of popularity; no question about that,” he told Punch. “We are having harsh economic times, no question about that and that does not increase the popularity of any government. It only diminishes it to some extent. What is different is that, in our case, in spite of the harsh economic realities, the people still have full confidence, trust. “I think that is the proper word, in President Buhari, that he will do his very best to improve their lot and I think the proof of that was the reaction to the threatened strikes by the labour unions. You can see that even though people are unhappy, they refused to come out because they understood. “They are in pain but they understood why the pain was there and they trusted the President that

National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, says the party is sad that a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is the Deputy Senate President. Reacting to a comment by Senator Dino Melaye that the APC should be grateful that it didn’t lose the National Assembly leadership to the PDP instead of persecuting Saraki, Oyegun told Punch that “the thing that rankled us most was the election of Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate President.” “Saraki is a member of the APC, much as the main line of the party would have wished a different result and a different scenario but we all find it very, very difficult to accept the emergence of a PDP person as his deputy”, he declared. On investigation of PDP over its campaign funds, while there are no prosecution of APC members over its own campaign funds, Oyegun replied: “We are not investigating PDP campaign funds. We are investigating records as to how public funds were hijacked for illegal purposes which we

" As far as we are concerned, the president’s principal adviser, his nephew, is one nonentity called Mamman Daura. “Then there is his Chief of Staff [Abba Kyari], who was brought up by Mamman Daura. “And the scoundrel who is the Secretary to the Government of Federation [Babachir David]. “Then most of the incompetent ministers, whom are not cut out to work harmoniously with the legislature. “And of course, there is the unfortunate additional bad luck of Buhari being surrounded by his own relations who are not politicians. “For instance, Mamman Daura, virtually runs the government. He has veto power. “There have been instances when Buhari gave written approval for things to be done, and that man threw the paper away. “He has become such a tyrant in the Presidency. He is a nephew to Buhari. “His father was the elder brother of Buhari. “Although their age difference is about three years, his father is an elder brother to Buhari and they grew up together. “[Abba Kyari] was brought up

The Sultan of Sokoto, Muhammad Sa’ad Abubakar III, has appealed to Nigerians to stop blaming Fulani herdsmen for every attack that happens in some parts of the country. The Sultan said this during a dinner organised for religious leaders, security agencies and media practitioners in his palace in Sokoto over the weekend. “If criminals are doing bad things, they are criminals and they can be found anywhere in any religion and tribe. Therefore don’t add religious or tribal toga to any act of terrorism. Fulani men are only after their cattle not after any government or its policies and programmes. How can they carry weapons, to go and do what with it?” he queried According to the Sultan, Muslims are more marginalised in the country only that they are not complaining. “When there is a vacant position and a Hausa man is appointed, we called it ‘northernisation and when a Muslim leader visit an Islamic country we say he is trying to Islamise Nigeria. In fact, there are many people from oth
