Press Statement Release By Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) (August 4th, 2020): THAT VEXED NIPOST TWEET

THAT VEXED NIPOST TWEET

The attention of FIRS has been drawn to the infantile ranting of one Mrs Maimuna Abubakar who it learnt is the Chairperson of the Board of NIPOST. Her bunkum wouldn't have deserved any response but for the sensitive nature of the issue at stake, which if not sensibly treated would likely mislead the public.

Surely, NIPOST is a government parastatal established by decree 41 of 1992 with the function to: develop, promote, and provide adequate and efficiently coordinated postal services at reasonable rates . This function is clearly contrary to the claim by NIPOST over the administration of stamp duties in Nigeria.

Chinese Loan: APC Has Been Mortgaging Nigeria’s Sovereignty- PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) says the revelation of obnoxious clauses in the agreements entered by the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration with their Chinese lenders in the $500 million loan, has vindicated our stand that the APC has been secretly mortgaging the sovereignty of our nation to benefit its selfish leaders.

The PDP reveals that its investigation showed that the mortgaging of our nation’s sovereignty to foreign lenders, including the exposed $500 million loan from China, has been with the active connivance of the APC as a party, even when such is against our national interest.

The statement issued by the Media Office of former Vice President, Alh.

As the Minister for Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has explained the guarantee/clause in the loan deals is standard irrespective of the the country granting the loan.

Pres Statement by StarBoy Vanguard (July 08, 2020.)

PRESS STATEMENT: Our attention has been drawn to a purported article flying on Social media orchestrated by one fake media merchant called Mr Jackson Ude. Alleging that the Vice President, Prof Yemi Osibanjo is mentioned amongst the associate of the Embattled EFFCC Boss Ibrahim Magu in the ongoing Presidential panel investigations.

This allegations is regretful and distasteful that a National Party like The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) will associate itself with such person in a desperate attempt to malign the person of the Vice President, Prof. Yemi Osibanjo (SAN).
