Dino Melaye: How Primate Ayodele Warned PDP Against Loss +His 2019/2020 prophecies

Published

on

Like it ignored the divine warning to offer Senator Bukola Saraki the ticket during the last presidential primary, and failed, the opposition political party, PDP, is yet on the road to what looks like another loss, as a new prophecy given by the same prophet, Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele, to PDP had been shunned.

In his annual prophecy book, Warning to The Nations, which he released late August and from which he read to select members of the press, the servant of God warned the PDP to give the ticket to Senator Dino Melaye if it wanted to unseat the incumbent Governor Yahaya Bello of APC.

”The APC and PDP will fight dirty in Kogi. People will used guns to fight in order to suppress people’s rights. The PDP must strategize and work hand in hand. I foresee that the present government will want to win by technicality through INEC. If the PDP does not do the right things by getting the right candidate like Dino, the present government will come back to power,” the book says on page 62.

Besides, there are also some of the events prophesied about in Primate Ayodele’s 2019/2020 book, which have come to pass.

They include the NURTW;

On Page 97, the book says ”On NURTW, I foresee that so many units of the union will be disappointed as regards the current happenings in the transport union. I foresee divisions in the transport workers union, among so many members of the union at both the states and the federal levels. The national body of the union will intervene to bring sanity to the problems at the states level. I foresee changes in the helm of the Union. The union should pray for unity…”

Primate Ayodele, however, reiterated that prophecy never come by the will of man but through the words of holy men of God as they are moved by the Holy Spirit. ”God has never failed in His Word,” he declared.

Below are the rest the just fulfilled prophecies by Primate Ayodele;

On page 7 of the book: “We must pray against pipelines explosion in Nigeria”. Page 42 of Sunday Sun of 1st September 2019 reported the oil pipelines explosion at You Jeremi in Ughelli South Council area of Delta State.

On page 136: “SEPLAT Petroleum will achieve big”in its business activities. On page 38 of the 1st September 2019 is the report that the company has commenced the construction of a multi million dollars gas processing plant in Ohaji Egbema Council Area of Imo State.

On page 22: “In cybercrime investigations, a lot will be detected and it will pose a lot of challenges in Nigeria. Page 1 of Sunday Vanguard newspaper of 1st September 2019 reports the arrest by the American FBI of alleged over seventy Nigerians for Internet fraud.

On page 2: ” kidnappings and ritual murders will be so common in Nigeria”. Vanguard newspaper of Sunday 1 st September 2019 page 11 reported the alarming rate of kidnappings in some states in the north of Nigeria.

On page 3: ”Nigeria will fight against flooding. ”Sunday Tribune of September 1st 2019 says on its page 7; Flood wreaks havoc in Osogbo, destroys properties same in Daura , Katsina State.

In Africa, he warned that ”Nigeria must be careful of South Africans because of the killings and unprovoked attacks.” Xenophobic attacks in South Africa have attracted global condemnation.

On.page 94: ”Let us pray against any ship that will capsize in the world”. On pages 4 and 5 of the Sunday Sun of 1st September 2019, the paper says Shipwrecks, Disaster imminent.

Here are excerpts from the complete revelation.

Primate Elijah Babatunde Ayodele urged Nigerian government to keep a close watch on the country’s borders with her neighbours as he foresees ‘external aggression’.

Ayodele revealed this to journalists during the public presentation of the 2019/2020 edition of his annual prophecy handbook, ‘Warnings to The Nations’, which held at his church’s headquarters in Lagos on Saturday, 25th of August, 2019.

While making his opening address, the seer took time to lecture critics on the importance and ethos of prophecy, noting that ‘because God has a purpose for prophecy, which is to confirm His Word, there is no prophecy that is bad’. Prophecy, he notes, plays a large part in our lives, so it is more than just the bare basics.

Primate Ayodele stated further that the challenges facing Nigeria are caused by the kind of leadership it has, warning that unless the leaders change their ways and turn to God for solution, Nigeria would continue to swim in troubled waters.

Giving excerpts from the new prophecy book that is currently circulating around the world and can be read online at www.info@warningstothenations.org, the cleric, who had earlier prophesied some of the events currently happening in the country including the challenges posed to government by the activities of the Shi’ite movement, said God revealed to him that Nigeria would still not be governed by the Igbo in 2023.

However, he warned that this may cause unforseen trouble for other ethnic tribes. ”Igbo will be disappointed on Nigeria’s presidency but there will be problem,” he revealed. In Lagos State, Ayodele said he foresaw the death of a king and a popular talkshow presenter. He called for prayer.

He revealed further;

”PDP will win Kogi governorship if it fields Dino Melaye as its flagbearer. Capital Oil CEO, Ifeanyi Ubah won’t be Anambra governor. Abubakar Atiku should stop wasting money, Buhari will defeat him at the presidential election tribunal. Buhari won’t win security fight unless he sacks his security chiefs. Oshiomhole will face removal as APC chairman. Also, God revealed to me that the senate president, Ahmed Lawan and the House of Representatives speaker, Femi Gbajabiamila, will face impeachment plots. The senate must pray against the death of anyone.

I foresee the death of a publisher of books and a renowned educationalist. I foresee many states in Nigeria taking political decisions that will suit their environments. Nigeria needs prayers because the country will face several challenges, economic troubles and security crises. The politicians will not fulfil their electoral promises. There will be religious troubles and inflation. The year, 2023 in Nigeria, will cause a lot of tension but technically it will give the opposition problems and Nigeria will lose a publisher. I foresee the breakup of Nigeria in the nearest future.

On Ondo, I foresee the sitting governor, Akeredolu being reelected for another term. He must strategize well and pray to God. I foresee revolution and famine in Nigeria. Aso Rock needs spiritual cleansing. The country needs prayers. I foresee that there will be constitutional amendments to accommodate rotational presidency. In Buhari’s second term, he will make efforts to stabilize the economy but he may not get it right.

The PDP and its presidential candidate, Atiku must strategize properly so as to manage their internal crisis well because there will be problems in 2023 as the front line party office holders may be disappointed. I still see Bukola Saraki as the man who will stabilize PDP. I foresee that the ongoing election tribunal will sack some PDP and APC members. I foresee fire outbreak at APC headquarters. I foresee a rise in cases if suicide in Nigeria and people would even attempt to commit suicide in court and company premises. The spirit of God says, the new Olowo of Owo in Ondo State will make the state progress but he will face challenges.The king must pray to live long.

There won’t be transport union like NURTW in 20 years. I foresee terrorism spreading in Africa and major regions in Nigeria. The traditional council in Southwest Nigeria will face embarrassment because of involvement in politics. I foresee the suspension or removal of a Northern Emir. They should stay away from politics. Let Nigeria pray against terminal diseases and cholera. I foresee the discovery of a drug that would cure HIV. I foresee attacks at Nigeria’s border posts. I foresee attacks on markets and Nigeria’s military.

There will be attacks and fire outbreaks at MTN warehouse. I foresee a case of massive frauds at Nigeria Customs and its top officers facing indictment. Also, Customs officers will be killed. I foresee dangers at airports in Calabar, Yola, Borno, Katsina, Jos, Owerri, Ilorin and Ibadan. And more…

Published

By

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has charged former Minister of Aviation, Hadi Sirika, his brother, Ahmad Sirika; and his company – Enginos Nigeria Limited, with over N19.4bn fraud.

The sum is said to be for several aviation ministry contracts from the former minister to Enginos Nigeria Limited, owned by Sirika’s younger brother, Abubakar.

The Sirika brothers and Enginos Nigeria Limited will be arraigned before Justice Belgore of the Federal Capital Territory High Court, Garki, Abuja today (Tuesday).

It is the second criminal charge the EFCC will be filing against the ex-aviation minister.

He was last Thursday arraigned for N2.7bn fraud before the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja.

Sirika was arraigned on six counts alongside his daughter, Fatimah; brother-in-law, Jalal Hamma, and Al-Buraq Investment Ltd.

The defendants pleaded not guilty while Justice Sylvanus Oriji granted them N100m bail each, with the condition that they must not travel out of the country until the end of the criminal case.

On Monday, EFCC insiders informed The PUNCH that the anti-graft agency had filed a second charge against the ex-minister, bordering on N19.4bn fraud.

In the copy of the fresh charges sighted by our correspondent on Monday, the EFCC alleged that Sirika, “while being the Minister of Aviation, on or about 18th August 2022, in Abuja, within the jurisdiction of this honourable court, did use your position to confer an unfair advantage upon Enginos Nigeria Limited, whose alter ego, Ahmad Abubakar Sirika, is your biological brother, by using your position to influence the award to him, the contract for the construction of a terminal building at Katsina Airport for the sum of N1,345,586,500.00.”

According to the EFCC, Sirika’s alleged action was a violation of Section 19 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000 and punishable under the same section.

In another count, the EFCC alleged that “on or about 3rd of November, 2022, in Abuja,” Sirika used his position “to confer unfair advantage upon Enginos Nigeria Limited, whose alter ego, Ahmad Abubakar Sirika, is your biological brother, by using your position to influence the award to him, the contract for the establishment of Fire Truck Maintenance and Refurbishment Centre at Katsina Airport for the sum of N3,811,497,685.00.”

In another count, he was accused of corruptly awarding a N615,195,275.00 contract to his brother for the procurement and installation of lift and air conditioners and power generators for the Aviation House in Abuja.

Furthermore, the EFCC alleged that Sirika, between August 2022 and May 2023 in Abuja, “had possession of an aggregate sum of N2,337, 840,674.16, which sum you knew indirectly represented the proceeds of criminal conducts of Hadi Abubakar Sirika, who was the Minister of Aviation at the time.”

It was revealed that the ex-minister’s younger brother, Abubakar, was earlier arrested and detained by the EFCC in connection with N3,212,258,930.18 paid to his company, Enginos Nigerian Limited’s bank account by the former minister.

Nigerian Bank chiefs obtain N549bn insider loans in five years

Published

on

By

Directors and key management personnel of Deposit Money Banks borrowed about N549bn from their financial institutions in five years.

This is according to The PUNCH analysis of the banks’ annual reports filed with the Nigerian Exchange Limited between 2019 and 2023.

However, the banks’ loans and advances to some directors and key management personnel as well as related party transactions dropped significantly in 2023.

These transactions dropped to N52.40bn for eight financial institutions compared to N111.31bn in 2022, indicating a 52.92 per cent decline in one year.

Financial institutions reviewed in the 2023 review include Access Holdings, Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc, Zenith Bank Plc, United Bank for Africa, Fidelity Bank, Wema Bank, Stanbic IBTC Holding Plc and the FCMB Group.

This decline came amid the release of new corporate governance guidelines by the Central Bank of Nigeria which went into effect August 1, 2023.

In the circular dated July 13, 2023, and signed by Director, Financial Policy and Regulation Department, Chibuzo Efobi, the guidelines which imposed responsibilities on the bank board and the executive compliance officers, supersede other previous codes, circulars and related directives, according to the apex bank.

The CBN guidelines on related party transactions said, “Banks shall establish a policy concerning insider trading and related party transactions by directors, senior executives, and employees, as well as publish the policy or a summary of that policy on their website. 22.2 The policy shall contain appropriate standards and procedures to ensure it is effectively implemented. 22.3 In addition to the requirements in Section 22.2, there shall be an internal review mechanism carried out by the internal audit function of the bank, to assess the compliance and effectiveness of the policy.

“22.4 Any director whose facility or that of his/her related interests remains nonperforming in any financial institution for more than one year shall cease to be on the board of the bank and shall be blacklisted from sitting on the board of such bank and that of any other financial institution under the purview of the CBN. 22.5 No director-related loans and/or interest thereon shall be written off without the CBN’s prior approval.”

Leading the pack in terms of major decline in loans to related parties and entities controlled by key management personnel was Fidelity Bank Plc, which went from N92.31bn at the end of December 2022 to N2.09bn at the end of last year.

In footnotes, the bank however said that some of the related parties like A-Z Petroleum Limited, Dangote Group and Genesis Group as of 31 December 2022, had “exited the related party relationship post 2022 financial year in line with CBN requirement.”

In 2022, the total value of insider loans for 10 banks including Access Holdings, Guaranty Trust Holding Company Plc, Zenith Bank Plc, United Bank for Africa, Fidelity Bank, Wema Bank, Stanbic IBTC Holding Plc, FCMB Group, Unity Bank and Sterling Bank amounted to N131.04bn.

Fidelity Bank led the highest for the year, followed by Unity Bank at N17.32bn and UBA at N13.74bn.

In 2021, the loans to related parties of these financial institutions rose to N139.16bn with Fidelity Bank and UBA leading at N97.73bn and N15.28bn, respectively. GTCO trailed in third position with N6.859bn.

Between 2019 and 2020, a total of N226.6bn was disbursed as loans. In 2019, eleven banks borrowed its key management personnel a total sum of N29.65bn. The figure also includes loans to companies related to the directors.

An analysis showed that GTCO lent N155m, Zenith Bank (N1.76bn), UBA borrowed its directors N297m, Wema Bank (N5.2bn), Stanbic IBTC (N95m), FCMB (N4.8bn), Unity Bank(N7.14bn), Sterling Bank (N10.12bn) to related parties.

In 2020, the figure increased by 564 per cent or N167.32bn to N196.97bn.

Checks showed that Access Bank lent the highest with a total of N174bn to its directors and companies related to them. This was followed by Unity Bank with N7.55bn. Third on the list was Sterling Bank with N6.01bn.

Other banks including Fidelity borrowed its directors N986.2m, GTBank (N67.9m), Zenith Bank (N1.797bn), UBA (N206m), Wema Bank (N2.82bn), Stanbic IBTC (N332m), FCMB (N3.2bn), Unity Bank (N7.55bn), Sterling Bank (N6.01bn).

Commenting on the trend, the Chief Research Officer at InvestData Consulting, Ambrose Omordion said “In my language, they say, it is the yam that you know that you use to make pounded yam. If an organisation feels that the insider or director can pay the loans given to them, then there is no issue. It is when they do not pay that is where there would be issues.

“Like what is happening now in the economy, banks are not giving loans to ordinary companies unless those with names because of economic headwinds. If they give loans to the public and they are unable to repay, Non-Performing Loans will rise. If the banks offer to insiders that would pay, it is better for them.”
