[size=14pt]Handover crisis: Presidential aide, SGF disagree over letter[/size]
By Our Correspondent, Published: Thursday, 4 Feb 2010

Cracks which appeared within the Federal Executive Council widened on Thursday barely 24 hours after the Minister of Information and Communications, Prof. Dora Akunyili recommended a transfer of power to Vice President Goodluck Jonathan.

This time, Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters, Senator Mohammed Abba-Aji faulted claims by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Alhaji Yayale Ahmed.

Abba-Aji told Senators at a closed session that the SGF “mixed up” his facts when he said the President transmitted a letter conveying his intension to proceed on a medical vacation.

The Presidential Adviser told Senators that the President never wrote any such letter.

The SGF told Senators a few weeks ago that his office drafted a letter which was vetted, signed and given to the office of the S.A to the President on National Assembly Matters for onward transmission but could not say what happened to the document.

This is not how to win a debate like this. There has been folks in the North who stood for the truth and for their sake lets leave the North out of it and isolate those who call themseleves members of the Gutter Cabinet who are standing the truth on its head.

Senator Abba Aji needs to be tried for treason and sent for jail if this is true. Because what if we were attacked by lets say Cameroun in the last 70days of power Vacuum.

Senate resolution on medical vacation: Yar’adua ‘ll comply, says Abba Aji
President Umaru Musa Yar’adua will comply with the Senate’s resolution for him to transmit a letter of his medical vacation to the National Assembly, Presidential Adviser Muhammad Abba-Aji said yesterday.
Abba-Aji, the President’s Special Adviser on National Assembly Matters, told journalists after a two-hour closed-door meeting with the Senate that Yar’adua had respect for the rule of law.
According to him, the president will not refuse to transmit the letter, in accordance with section 145 of the 1999 Constitution.
``The president has never refused to comply with the resolution of the National Assembly. I am quite sure that the president will abide by the Senate’s resolution,’’ he said.
Asked if the resolution had been forwarded to the president, Abba-Aji said he believed so.
He added that the decision must have been transmitted to the president through the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF).
``There are two channels of communication. All resolutions passed by the House and the Senate always pass through the SGF’s office through the Clerk of the National Assembly,’’ he explained.
Abba-Aji, however, said that he was not given any letter by the president to the National Assembly before his medical vacation in Saudi Arabia, contrary to reports that a letter was given to him.
He said that the SGF, Alhaji Yayale Ahmad, must have been mixing up issues when he told the Senate that a vacation letter was given to him for the National Assembly.
The adviser recalled that the only time when the issue of transmission of letter to the National Assembly came up was when the president was proceeding on a two-week vacation on Jan. 23, 2009.
He said that the president had to shelve the vacation on Jan. 29, 2009, following the death of former governor of Yobe state, Sen. Mamman Ali, on Jan. 27, 2009.
``The president has never transmitted any vacation letter to the National Assembly prior to any of his travels to Saudi Arabia.
``It was only during the president’s vacation of January, 2009, and while the development that I have just outlined was unfolding, a decision to write a vacation letter was made before it was later rescinded.
``The SGF should know what to do when he drafts a letter that fails to see the light of the day, particularly since the idea behind the letter was not even his own,'' he said.
Abba-Aji told the journalists that from his interaction with the Senate, the senators were satisfied with his explanation.
Also briefing newsmen, the Chairman, Senate Committee on Information and Media, Sen. Ayogu Eze, said that the explanation by Abba-Aji had cleared the air on the issue of transmission or non-transmission of any letter.

Just wondering whether Abba Ajji wants to now forward the said memo after 70days?

(Recasts with presidential aide)

By Felix Onuah and Camillus Eboh

ABUJA, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua will write to the Senate soon in response to calls for him to hand over to his deputy after an absence of more than two months, a presidential aide said on Thursday.

The 58-year-old leader has not been seen in public since he left on Nov. 23 for Saudi Arabia to be treated for a heart condition. His failure to transfer power has brought Africa's most populous nation to the brink of a constitutional crisis. Co

Those Northerners that stand for the truth are not among the Northern Cabals as beaf put it. From all indication the cabals are still holding tight but the time is fast running against them. We shall see what happens by next week.

Precisely! We cannot hide from the truth in order to "win" arguments. The cabal holding Nigeria to ransome is Northern, the agenda is to keep power in the North, even if a dead man wields it.
The truth should not be avoided (unpleasant though it may be), but must be confronted head on with courage and acceptance or the "argument" will be lost.
