Executive, legislature relationship worst under Buhari, CSO replies Ita Enang


A civil society organisation, the Centre for Literacy and Leadership, has faulted the Senior Special Assistant to the President, Senator Ita Enang on his claim that the relationship between the Executive and the National Assembly under President Muhammadu Buhari was the best under any administration since 1999.
Reacting to the claim, the Executive Director of the group, Engr. Bismack Oji said: “This is actually the worst executive-legislature relationship since 1999. For the first time, a sitting Senate President was arraigned twice. His only crime was that he was preferred and legitimately elected Senate President by his colleagues against the will of the executive.
“For the first time, the executive arraigned the Senate President and his Deputy on trumped up charges of forgery of Standing Rule, whereas even the cooked up police report neither mentioned any of their names let alone indict them.
“For the first time, the nation heard something like a missing budget, with allegations that it was rewritten and returned through the back door

China positive about US negotiation remark on North Korea

China said on Thursday it was positive that the United States is open to resolving tensions over North Korea through talks. Foreign Ministry spokesman Geng Shuang made the comment at a regular news briefing in Beijing. The Trump administration said on Wednesday it aimed to push North Korea into dismantling its nuclear and missile programs through tougher international sanctions and diplomatic pressure, and remained open to negotiations to bring that about.

I’m different from young artistes – Majek Fashek

Since his return to the Nigerian music scene, veteran reggae maestro, Majek Fashek, has been on a conscious mission to once again stamp his feet on the music space, reclaiming his throne as the only musician in the world who can draw rain with his music fic. In a recent interview with HIPTV, the rain maker, as he is fondly called, claimed there is a cut clear difference between the quality of sound and music he makes and that of young artistes. According to Majek, “I make sound while all these young musicians make jam, I make good sound but they are always jamming, they don’t make good sound, they just jam.
