TAN rallies indecent, insulting Nigerians -APC

The All Progressives Congress has insisted that the rallies being held across the country by the so-called Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria represent an assault on the intelligence and sensibilities of Nigerians, at a time of unprecedented security and health challenges in the country.

In a statement issued by its National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, in Lagos State on Sunday, it noted that no amount of inversion of reasoning by the TAN foot soldiers can wash the rallies clean of shame and disgust.

It said, Only those described as morons and sycophants by Prof. Wole Soyinka can be engaging in celebratory rallies when soldiers are dying on the Boko Haram battle front, when citizens are daily being dispatched to their graves by insurgents and when the country is still reeling from the challenge of Ebola that has claimed many innocent lives.

The partywondered how the inauguration of its regional executives in Sokoto State could be equated with the rallies being held across the country by TAN, which is another name for shame, incompetence, cluelessness, cruelty, insincerity and insensitivity.

Itsaid, If President Goodluck Jonathan had not been running a government hallmarked by impunity, there is no way any political party would have brazenly kick-started electioneering campaign under the guise of an NGO that is coordinated by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Ministers, State Governors and other public officials, at a time like this.

The PDP-led Federal Government and its NGO called TAN are bare-faced liars and cheats. They have seized an undue advantage over every other party by defying the nations laws to start an early electioneering campaign, and no one, not even INEC, dares call them to order! Little wonder, their podiums are collapsing under the weight of their lies.

The partyaccused TANs self-serving Director of Communications Udenta Udenta ofattempting to pull the wool over the eyes of Nigerians by shamelessly justifying the insane rallies.

It said, We have the following posers for the deceptive and pigs-at-the trough TAN organisers: If Mr Udenta and his co- travelers were parents, relations or friends of any of the over 200 missing Chibok schoolgirls, wouldnt such TAN rallies offend their sensibilities?

If Mr Udenta or any of his co-travelers in TAN had lost a relation or dear one to Ebola in Port Harcourt, wont such a rally in the same city about the same time offend their sensibilities? Can Mr. Udenta tell Nigerians the source of funding of TAN? Can Mr. Udenta tell Nigerians how much TAN has spent so far in canvassing for Jonathans re-election or for that matter how much it spends daily on radio jingles, television and newspapers advert, billboards etc? Can Mr. Udenta tender to the public TANs audited account?

We know Mr. Udenta has no answers to these posers, but we have no iota of doubt that Nigerians know that TAN is funded and powered by the massive corruption of this government, including but not limited to the missing $20 billion, the over one trillion fuel subsidy scam, the kerosene subsidy scam, the hundreds of thousands of barrels of our crude oil being stolen daily, the Pension scam, the Malibu Oil scandal etc. We also know through which top functionaries of government funds are funneled to TAN.

New methods of health funding urgently needed, say Liberals

CTV Montreal Published Saturday, September 13, 2014 6:14PM EDT Last Updated Saturday, September 13, 2014 6:30PM EDT

Could a two-tier health system be on its way to Quebec?

Variations on that theme were among the many scenarios presented at a the Liberal Forum for Ideas, which focused on health care spending in the province, in its first of two days in Montreal Saturday.

And although the suggestions were often vague, all agreed that the system needs new ways to refinance, as if left unchecked health care costs will outstrip Quebecs tax revenues by 2038.

The man in charge said that he wants prompt action.

If we are to have a health care system that is sustainable, we need to change not in two, three or four years, we need to change today," Quebec Health Minister Gaetan Barrette told CTV Montreal.

Barrette said that services can be maintained at a lower cost with better use of equipment, more prevention and cutting 1,300 health care managers.

We will make announcements that will go in the direction of restructuring. In doing that there will be a gain of efficiency and when we do that we need normally less people to do the same work, he said.

Premier Philippe Couillard echoed the notion that changes are needed pronto.

I would turn this around and make it an opportunity because of the urgency of our fiscal situation. We are not only obliged but we must absolutely speed up the process of innovation, said Couillard.

Liberals press Pelosi, Obama for vote on Syrian air strikes

A growing chorus of liberal Democrats is pushing President Obama to get Congress's explicit approval before launching missile strikes into Syria.

The pressure from supporters on Capitol Hill is not only a headache for Obama, but also puts House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and other top Democrats in the difficult position of bucking a broad segment of their own caucus in order to protect an ally in the White House.

Scores of Democrats had signed letters a year ago advocating against military strikes targeting the forces of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad without congressional backing.

Thirteen months later the enemy has a new face, but a large number of those lawmakers say they remain committed to securing Congress's role in deciding matters of war, even as Obama is claiming unilateral authority to expand the fight against militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS).

A vote is necessary, Rep. Lloyd Doggett (D-Texas) told The Hill. The president is already empowered to act forcefully against those who murdered Americans, but he should seek congressional authorization to engage in the broader, sustained combat he envisions."

Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) piled on.

It would be very reckless, in my view, for him to go in and start doing all this without getting a vote from the Congress, he told MSNBC recently.

Pelosi, a fierce opponent of the Iraq war under the George W. Bush, has toed the line between the liberal critics and Obama by urging a congressional debate on the use-of-force question, but stopping short of calling for a vote at least for now.

Whether we take a vote or not, we're not at that point because we believe the president has the authority, Pelosi told reportersThursday.

Speaker John Boehner has also avoided calls for a vote on use-of-force authority.
