PRESIDENT OBAMA AND EXECUTIVE ORDER ON RECOUNT!

Sir

I think what they are deducing  from CNN not making a headline on the report is that President Obama was yet to sign executive order on recount and there is probably not going to be any recount order at this time. Thank you!

OBAMA ISSUES EXECUTIVE ORDER ON RECOUNT OF VOTES!!

Obama Signs Executive Order Declaring Investigation Into Election Results; Revote Planned For Dec. 19th

WASHINGTON, D.C. (AP) — Following the results of Tuesday night’s election, President Obama has signed Executive Order 13805, which orders a full recount of all votes cast in the election and calls for a special election to be held on December 19^th. Obama signed the order in response to the concerns of thousands of voters across the country who said that they were prevented from casting a ballot on election day, too many absentee ballots have not been found or counted, equipment failures, as well as concerns that some members of the electoral college may have acted unethically.

“People all over the country have been flooding my office with calls, telling my staff of horror stories about being harassed and intimidated by poll workers,” Obama told reporters. “Many have even said that they were flat out denied entry into the voting booths to cast their ballots if they were wearing a Hillary Clinton shirt or other signs showing support for her as President. This was especially bad in areas of Florida and North Carolina where there are high numbers of Latino and African American voters. We must investigate these claims. The margin of victory is too close to call, and the outcome of this election is too important. There is just too many legal challenges in too many states to just call this a victory for Trump.”
Under the President’s order, the votes cast in all precincts nationwide will be recounted, and all poll workers who took part in Tuesday’s election will be subjected to strict background checks. This process is expected to take 30 days. In precincts where the Department of Justice has cause to believe that voter suppression has occurred, new elections will be held on Dec. 19^th, with those results being used to help determine who will represent the individual states in the electoral college.
Not surprisingly, Donald Trump is not happy with the president’s decision.
“Crooked Hillary lost this election fair and square. They tried to rig this election against me, but the American people didn’t allow that to happen. President Obama doesn’t care about what the American people want. I said the system was rigged all along, and this proves I was right.”
The president also said that the DOJ will be taking a close look at the members of the electoral college.
“We have received information from a very reliable source that suggests there may have been some collusion between the members of the electoral college and poll workers in certain swing states. We still need to investigate these claims, but if they are true, we will take all the appropriate actions necessary.”
Paul Horner, a professor of political science at UCLA, believes that the issues with the electoral college run much deeper that this election.

“Most people feel that it is their right as citizens to pick the president of the United States, but there is nothing in the constitution that says that. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by more than 200,000 votes, but because of the electoral college, she still lost. That decision is reserved solely for the 538 electors who meet in their respective states on December 19^th. What the people are actually voting for are their states’ electors, not for the President. Though the system is odd and unfair, it has persisted because many insist that it works just fine as it is, with the winner of the popular and electoral vote usually matching. That does not mean, however, that it will continue to work just fine in the future. The way the system is set up could cause it to malfunction in some potentially terrifying ways, this recent election being one of them.”
Political Analyst Matt Daemon told ABC News that he agrees with the President’s Executive Order and said that he would like to see the electoral college done away with altogether.
“[The electoral college] is a f—king joke; we should be using the popular vote instead. It may have made sense in 1788, but so did the three fifths compromise. Everyone should have an equal vote, and that’s just not the case with the electoral college. You know what the electoral college gave us? It gave us George W. Bush. It gave us a war in Iraq, and the worst recession since the great depression. It’s time to bring our system into the 21^st century. I hope Obama fixes this, because president Trump is going to be a nightmare.”
Obama finished up the press conference explaining his plans for moving forward.
“We’re going to investigate the FBI into their role in all of this,” Obama said. “Why did FBI director James Comey on Sunday say that the agency is not recommending charges against Clinton after reviewing all of her emails; declaring Hillary Clinton a free women conveniently just one day before the election? Why wasn’t this news released earlier? How many votes were lost because of this?” Obama said. “If all of these questions cannot be answered by our deadline set in December, a recount will be ordered.”
If you have any questions about the recount or the special December 19^th election, you can call the Obama administration’s special election hotline at (785) 273-0325.

HOW WORLD LEADERS REACTED TO TRUMP VICTORY

Angela Merkel sent a congratulatory

message but made no mention of

Trump. She was just talking about

USA's venerable democracy and

Germany's connection to America.

Mexican President too!

Read countries that sent Trump some

half-hearted congratulatory messages.

Let's just say Hillary won peoples' minds

she probably won the popular votes but

could not get the electoral votes in though

President Obama and FLOTUS hugely gave

their backing. I think in this election Obama

lost. Yet he accepted it in good faith and

warmly congratulated Trump and begun

the peaceful transition process. A legacy

Goodluck Jonathan passed to Buhari 2015.

Let us respect the rights of people to elect

their own leaders Governors & President!

Human Rights Lawyer Falana to FG: Don't Worry About the $30B Loan

Mr President please do not return to the Senate with the same request to borrow approximately $30 Billion after it was rejected Tuesday.

First let me commend your efforts yesterday in meeting with some Niger Delta Leaders with a view to finding a solution to the problems in the region and to halt blowing up of  gas and oil pipelines by N-D militants.

Mr President that meeting was a step in the right direction hopefully should find a solution soon.

With respect to Senate turning down the $30 Billion loan request, which accords with the views of Mr Falana SAN and other public interest litigators that borrowing would jeopardize the future generation.

Mr President ask the frontline human rights Lawyer Falana to see you in Aso Rock chambers with his position paper ASAP. He is saying from the Premium Times report read this morning 2^nd Nov that Nigeria has some $11 Billion (add interest over years)  in the hands of Banks which AMCON failed to recover.

He said he also wrote to your Finance Minister on tracing/recovery of billions of dollars abroad belonging to our country Nigeria on steps to repatriate these funds without conditionalities. He enthused that World Bank, Swiss Bank etc must not keep recovered loots a day longer than today. In the interest of our national development you may please call him to discuss this matter, moving forward.

Call him now!

Thank you

Attorney Carol Ajie

PREMIUM TIMES 2ND NOV

Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, has challenged the Nigerian government to take the rejection of the $30 billon (N9.61 trillion) loan request by the Senate as a challenge to review the recovery of the nation’s looted wealth.

In a statement on Tuesday, Mr. Falana said the decision of the Senate to turn down the borrowing plan should spur investigation into the criminal diversion of billions of dollars from the Federation Account.

The Senate on Tuesday rejected Mr. Buhari’s request to borrow $29.9 billion as part of its external borrowing plan for 2016 to 2018, asking for all relevant documents to be submitted.

“A few months ago, I had urged the Minister of Finance to embark on an aggressive recovery policy,” said Mr. Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.

“Apart from acknowledging the letter and assuring me that the letter was receiving attention no measure has been put in place to recover the looted wealth of the nation.

“In frustration I was compelled to submit a petition to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to recover the fund and prosecute the indicted individuals and corporate organisations.”

Mr. Falana said his petition led to a former Central Bank governor demanding an apology for saying that he gave out a loan of $7 billion to 14 banks sometime in 2006.

“Since he admitted that the money was a ‘deposit’ and not a loan I rejected his demand for apology,” he said.

“More so that the $7 billion and the bailout of $4 billion given to the same banks in 2008 have not been refunded.

“Curiously, the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria has not demanded the repayment of the said sum of $11 billion from the banks.”

The Senate’s rejection came despite the support of Nigeria’s Debt Management Office for an approval of the loan to help address the huge infrastructure deficit across the country.

But Mr. Falana insisted that if efforts were intensified to recover the billions of dollars looted or diverted from the Federation Account, the government would not need to plunge the nation into “another toxic debt”.

“I have also just confirmed that one of telecommunication companies operating in the country recently engaged in money laundering and successfully but illegally transferred the sum of over $25 billion out of Nigeria,” Mr. Falana said.

“Since the Money Laundering Act, 2011, as amended, requires that the entire proceeds of the crime be forfeited to the Federal Government, it is hoped that the highly placed public individuals involved in the criminal enterprise will not compromise the interests of the nation this time around.”
