Lagbala Blast Doyin Okupe, Takes On Jonathan
In a piece he
wrote on his page on the social networking site titled, “Deceitful and Visionless Government”, Lagbaja took the special assistant to the president on public affairs, Dr. Doyin Okupe, to the cleaners for his recent comment that Nigeria’s economy cannot support new trains. He also had words for Jonathan’s government too
Did you hear the latest from Doyin Okupe? Did he really
insist that our economy cannot support new trains? At last …it should be
clear to doubting Thomases that this government has been lying about
its achievements. Now, finally, they have unwittingly admitted that
their great railway is a fraud based on outdated and archaic equipment.
His declaration is also clear proof that this government has no business remaining in power. They are incurably deceitful… and they have no idea how to make great things happen. Soon they will lecture us about how Nigeria is too backward for steady electric power.

The
Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation has said
wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, will not appear before
the International Criminal Court.
It said there was no basis for her to be reported to the internal court in the first place.
Director of Media and Publicity of the organisation, Femi Fani-Kayode, stated this at a press briefing in Abuja on Wednesday.
Fani-Kayode was reacting to the claim by the main opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, that it had reported the First Lady to the ICC.
Patience was reported to have told supporters of the PDP at its rally in Cross Rivers State to stone anyone canvassing for change in the state.
“Change” is the slogan of the APC.
In its complain to the ICC, the APC through its Director-General, Presidential Campaign Council, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, who is also the Governor of Rivers State, said the wife of the President was calling on the supporters of the ruling party to attack those of the APC.
But Fani-Kayode described Patience as woman of peace and that her speech didn’t propel anyone to take into violence.
The former Minister of Aviation added that those that dragged the wife of the President to ICC were not educated on issue of international law.
He said if they were, they would have known that individuals are not taken to the court on the basis of their speech.
He said, “It is pertinent to note that, first of all, if they were a little better educated and had a better understanding of international law and how the ICC works, they would appreciate the fact that no individual is ever taken to the ICC based on what he or she has said unless, and until people act on those words and massacre others.
“It is only if that speech is followed by violence and mayhem or if it incites people to commit violence, which results in death, mass murder and crimes against humanity, that the person who indulged in such hate speech becomes an eligible candidate for the ICC.
“Dame Patience Jonathan is a woman of peace. She did not threaten anyone with violence; she did not incite anyone to commit violence or to kill others and her words have not resulted in death, mass murder or any crimes against humanity.
“We therefore completely reject the baseless charge and assertion that she has called for the killing or slaughter of anyone at any point in time.”
He described the threat to take the First Lady to the ICC as not only absurd but also what he described as “ranting of a perfidious, desperate, decaying and dying political party and such threat will amount to nothing.”
He said if anyone was to be taken to the court, it must be the Presidential Candidate of the APC, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari(retd.).
Fani-Kayode also alleged that the APC was planning hate documentary on the private lives of the President, his wife and that of the Minister of Petroleum, Mrs. Diezani Alison-Madueke.
He said the special operations and intelligence wing of his directorate got wind of the plan
