Following controversies that have greeted the recent presidential approval of $1bn for the procurement of military equipment to assist in the fight against insurgency, the Presidency has issued a statement to clarify emerging contentious issues.

Recall that the Minister of Defense had on Wednesday after a closed-door meeting involving the President and security chiefs disclosed that President Muhammadu Buhari had approved the release of $1bn Dollars for the procurement of weapons to fight insurgency.

Following the decision by all State Governors on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to support the call by President Muhammadu Buhari for the conduct of congresses and conventions to facilitate the emergence of new leadership for the party across all levels, members of the current National Working Committee of the party are moving their personal belongings from their offices at the National Secretariat, Abuja.

A staff at the APC Secretariat confirmed to Vigil360 that the decision was to avoid embarrassment, more so that no one knows the decision that would be reached at the next National Executive Council meeting billed to take place next week.

President Muhammadu Buhari says his administration is committed to promoting accountability because the youths deserve to inherit a stable and prosperous country.

The President said this on Thursday while receiving a Letter of Credence from the Head of Delegation of the European Union to Nigeria, Mr Ketil Karlsen, at the State House in Abuja.

He noted that more than 60 per cent of Nigerians fall into the age category of youths, adding that the insistence on probity and transparency in the public and private sectors is to secure the future of the country for all Nigerians.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has concluded plans to shift its emergency National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting earlier scheduled to hold on Monday in order not to breach the party's constitution.

According to Dailyrust, although the APC National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun had on Wednesday said the party’s emergency NEC meeting would hold on Monday, April 9 to take final position on the controversial tenure elongation saga, the meeting would no longer hold as it would contravene the provisions of the APC constitution that states that at least seven days’ notice should be given to members to attend such meeting.

President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday said allegations that his administration is favouring one religion and attempting to Islamize Nigeria was unfortunate, totally untrue and skewed by opposition elements to hoodwink Nigerians. The President who stated this while receiving a delegation of the Arewa Pastors Non-Denominational Initiative for Peace in Nigeria led by Bishop John Abu Richard, said all through his public life, he had never contravened his oath of office.
