OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR PLATEAU STATE OF NIGERIA

Letter to My Fellow Plateau Citizen

M

y Dear Fellow Citizen, on the 29th May, 2007, I appeared in your presence and in that of and Oath of Allegiance to faithfully perform the duties allotted to me as the Governor of Plateau State, Under such an Oath, the foundations of order, peace, unity, good governance, accountability, protection of the interest, as well as the advancement of the welfare of our that was driven by the mission to serve. Nothing can make us deviate from our mission of “a plateau in the hands of God and a people working patiently towards responding to the development challenges of building a new era of progress�. Your abiding ing a mark and leaving a legacy on the sands of time. This is a historic responsibility that I swore to discharge. Our most cherished Plateau State is one that is

geo-strategic position and spectacular beauty, accentuated by diverse landscapes. The blueness of our skies, vast plains, as well as hundreds of mountains and hills that surround us transcend the wounds of our divided past, with a rare opportunity for us to build a future that is shared and secured. We need to be reminded of the words of Frantz Fanon that ‘each generation must out of relative obscurity

! " action to take ownership of shaping our destiny. Through the Redemption philosophy, we have covered grounds from a heritage of hope to a hope that has been redeemed for the common good. The common good is premised on the logic of our willingness to co-initiate, co-inspire, co-drive, co-own and co-protect. The overwhelming mandate given to me by the people of plateau in 2007 was anchored on the belief that we have tarried too long on the fringes of arrested growth and development. We sought to change that Story through a well thought out plan of action. Regardless of where my successor will emerge from, our search for a leader in 2015 and beyond must be driven by key benchmarks- fear of God, wisdom, initiative, strong will/character, courage to defend the heritage, interest and future of Plateau State, credibility and integrity, as well as an abiding and unwavering commitment to consolidating on the gains made so far under Redemption I and II. Above all, avoiding the pitfalls we might have experienced is critical.

For me, leading you by virtue of the authority you entrusted on me is not the hardest thing going by my experience in statecraft, both in the military and in the current democratic dispensation, which I played a key role towards its enthronement. Leading without leaving something behind that is what is hardest. Under the abiding grace of God and the support of our people, we have something to show that can be felt, seen, touched and felt. # $ the pillar of our heritage. Those without hope should understand that there is no future without hope. Our testament of Redemption from 2007 to date was meant to transform this hope into reality for our common good. What we have done is to chart a roadmap that will fast track our growth and development, using infrastructure, human capital development and resource mobilisation. The pursuit of these fundamental objectives has become the central pillars that drive our quest to not allow the air of despair settle in our society, which represents a bastion of stability in Nigeria. We must collectively join hands to resist any attempt to factionalise or fractionalise our common heritage

struggle to gain access to the state and control of its resources and power at all costs. It is only through informed leadership that the institutions, structures, patterns and processes implanted by our founding fathers can continually be nurtured for the better. This is an ideal I have also struggled to sustain under the Redemption Philosophy. My fellow citizen, this conversation is an expression of my gratitude to you for giving me the rare opportunity of being a democratic leader. In a sense too, I have tried within the limits of my human constraints to ensure that the right to govern Plateau State is balanced with the right of citizens to be governed competently. This is the only way we can avoid becoming victims of our own success. I have the rare honour of being your fellow citizen.

Removal of immunity clause not in national interest – Aliyu Justina Asishana, Minna

C

hairman, Northern States Governors Forum (NSGF), Dr. Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu, yesterday, frowned at the removal of immunity clause for the President and governors by the House of Representatives, saying the action is not in the best interest of the nation, as it would cause unnecessary burden for leaders. According to him, if the immunity clause is removed, it would take the focus of leaders from administrative issues to minute and unnecessary court cases. Said he: “I noted that if governors and the President have no immunity on certain issues, they may waste all government resources on cases that normally should not have gone to court. There are things that we should put into consideration. Many a time, cases that could have been resolved outside court are allowed to go to court. If the immunity clause is removed, at every

have no bearing on the issue that have been taken to court.� The House of Representatives announced on Wednesday the removal of immunity clause for the President and " cess of the amendment of the constitution. About 252 of the 261 members that voted were in favour of the amendment. Aliyu, who was reacting to the removal yesterday in Minna, at a valedictory meeting held for his council members vying for various elective positions, said though he was initially in support of the removal, with the insight he now has, the immunity clause should not have been removed totally. “This is a dicey situation. When I came newly, I was one of those who said the immunity clause should be removed but with the insight I have now, I think we should look at the issues properly, not simply to remove the immunity just like that, but to look at areas where decisions would be taken straightforward without any court implication.

“It is important for us to look at the immunity clause properly; if it must be removed, there are areas where it could be stated and where an administrator would know that he does not spend his tenure going to court unnecessar J ! do that if we have to remove the immunity clause,� Aliyu said. He called on the lawmakers to put the various issues into consideration before the removal of the immunity clause. The immunity clause if removed would open the President and governors to legal " !

igeria and Senegal are set to be declared Ebola-free after completing a 42-day period with no new cases detected. The World Health Organization (WHO) was set to declare the end of the outbreak of Ebola virus in Senegal yesterday, after active surveillance found the country to be free of the disease. Senegal had one patient ! ! Ebola but he recovered and appears not to have infected anyone else. Nigeria will also be declared Ebola-free so long as no new cases are detected before Monday, October 20.

But in the three worst affected countries - Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea - “new cases continue to explode in areas that looked like they were coming under control,� WHO said. “An unusual characteristic of this epidemic is a persistent cyclical pattern of gradual dips in the number of new cases, followed by sudden V ~ " = € added.

Osun poultry farmers and N260m profit

T

he information from the Chairman and Chief Executive Z ` the Osun Broiler Outgrower Production Scheme, which was set up by Governor Rauf Aregbesola, has fetched the state’s poultry farmers a {|} was received by all well meaning persons as great news. It would be recalled that in order to promote and assist in developing local poultry farmers, the former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration once placed a ban on the importation of chicken, turkeys and other poultry products into Nigeria. It is also a known fact that the largest percentage of poultry products consumed in Nigeria are imported, with reports claiming that the products are preserved with chemicals not good for human consumption. Many Nigerians castigated the then

President Obasanjo, accusing him of / ban. They claimed that he did it so as to favour his Ota farms business. However, the latest news is a pointer to the fact that the local poultry farmers could be successful if given the right atmosphere to succeed. They are being denied millions of naira due to the importation of the poultry products. Now is the time for the present government to revisit the ban on the importation of poultry products so as to help local farmers grow. Rather than relying on chicken and turkey from other countries, which could easily be produced in Nigeria, $ urgency place a blanket ban on their importations, and assist local farmers

Forgotten Igbo communities in Benue By Okechukwu Okonjo

G

one are the days when we don’t know where Igbo communities were hidden. They are in four local government areas of Benue State, namely, Ado, Oju, Okpoku and Obi. These are ethnic Igbo communities. These are known as the Umuezeokoha people. Those talking about Igbo trying to annex other people’s land should consider / ~ > / * in the North as northern communities. Presumably, some people hoped that the Umuezeokoha people will lose their identity as is happening with some Ikwerre people in Rivers State. Umuezeokoha community is in the present Benue State and comprises over 300 villages of Igbo speaking areas. Ado, Oju, Okpoku and Obi are local government areas that are part of the proposed Apa State, which the Idoma have been calling for. Apa State should be created, and added to the South East in the interest of unifying the peoples with their kith and kin. Before the Nigerian civil war, they lived a happy and meaningful life, mingling freely with their kith and kin in the state. But today, things have fallen apart. Instead of the joyful songs they were used to, they now sing dirges. The Umuezeokohas are not happy that they have been neglected for a long time by *

* they are blaming their ethnic origin and wrong state. Interestingly, the people share the same Benue South Senatorial Constituency with Senate President, David Mark. Though Igbo , the Umuezeokoha Community, due perhaps to accident of history, are found in Benue State instead of Ebonyi State , the closest Igbo state where their kinsmen, the Ezza Ezekuna kindred, are found. According to the President, Benue Igbo Union, Mr. Nweke Cedrick Ifeanyi, his people are wallowing in poverty and neglect and are often denied democracy dividends, including obtaining local government $ the state. Mr. Nweke said the Igbo in Benue State; particularly those in the aforementioned local government areas, were existing before the advent of Christianity in Nigeria. But since then, he lamented,

they have not been recognised by successive

both Ebonyi and Benue states. “Although before the independence and the Nigerian civil war, which lasted for about three * / " $ to the extent that the missionaries established one local primary school at Umuezeokoha community comprising over 300 villages of Igbo speaking areas at that time.

He said even Senator David Mark and Governor Gabriel Suswan have been winning all their elections in the area. Mr. Nweke also narrated how their children die in their numbers because of lack of immunisation, which he said they have never witnessed since the return of democracy. He also painted a gory picture of how they were swindled of N6, 000 each for insecticide treated mosquito nets, which were given

Lesson on how Nigeria contained Ebola By Joshua Keating

N

igeria and Senegal could be declared Ebola-free by the World Health Organisation in a few days, after clearing the requisite 42day period with no new cases. In all, 20 people were infected in Nigeria with eight fatalities. Only one person in Senegal became infected but that victim has recovered. The news is cause for a cautious sigh of relief, if not total celebration. Though the global outbreak is still far from contained, the prospect of it getting loose in Lagos - Africa’s largest city and a major international commercial centre was one of the more terrifying scenarios we’ve had to contemplate over the last few weeks. The success these countries had in containing the outbreak is going to prompt some discussion of what lessons can be learned for other climes fighting Ebola. The Financial Times attributes Nigeria’s achievement to a “rare national effort that saw the Lagos State government, Federal institutions, the private sector, and global non-governmental organisations pulling in the same direction to defeat the disease.� That national effort included a presidential decree that gave officials access to

phone records and a strict system to monitor potential cases, one that involved tracking down more than 800 people who may have had contact with the infected. But arguably, Nigeria didn’t actually do a very impressive job. A single Liberian man, who travelled to Nigeria in July, infected 11 hospital staff in the time between his admission to a hospital and when his test results were received. There might have been more infections if not for a doctors’ strike

that reduced the number of people who came in contact with him. One doctor told the New York Times, “At the time, nobody was prepared for it.� The advantage Nigeria had was that its outbreak began with this one man, who was taken immediately from the airport to a clinic, at a time when Ebola was already a crisis. By contrast, international agencies and authorities in the three countries at the epicentre of the outbreak Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone - didn’t wake up to

the severity of the disease until dozens were already infected. Rather than demonstrating the effectiveness of any particular method of Ebola control, the case of Nigeria and the less severe case of Senegal confirm what we’ve known about the disease from the beginning. Despite its high mortality rate, Ebola is relatively difficult to transmit from person to person, and under normal circumstances, it’s relatively easy to contain with common-sense public health measures: isolating those infected, limiting the exposure of healthcare workers, and tracking those who may have come in contact with them. For a variety of reasons, this was not done in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea until it was too late. Despite early lapses, Nigeria - a country that’s not known for reliable public institutions or healthcare infrastructure - was able to get the outbreak under control. And despite the early lapses in Dallas, the U.S should be able to do the same. Of course, that’s not much comfort if you live in one of the countries where it’s already out of control.

Nigeria @ 54: The journey so far Continued from last week By Chiedu Uche Okoye

The seemingly intractable Boko Haram insurgency has compounded our national woes. The presence of anarchic situation in a country is a disincentive for national development. Terrorism puts growth into abeyance in any country. In addition to the insurgency caused by ethnic distrust and chauvinism, religious bigotry, and inept and corrupt political leadership has beset Nigeria since it became a sovereign nation-state. The imposition of leaders by political godfathers, which was entrenched in

the country by the departing British imperialists, has dealt a severe blow to Nigeria. Consequently, the country has never been led by its first eleven. Alhaji Tafawa Balewa beat his political and intellectual superiors and became the Prime Minister in 1960. A political dark horse, Alhaji Shehu Shagari emerged as president in 1979. In order to placate the indignant Yoruba over the annulled June 12, 1993 Presidential Elections, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was helped to become president in 1999. But, did these leaders who got into the saddle of political leadership through the imposition of leaders transform Nigeria to a great country? The answer is a

categorical no. President Jonathan inherited most of the problems that are afflicting us today. But, has he done much to tackle them, effectively and decisively? Nigeria has the potentials to become an economically and technologically advanced country, but inept and corrupt political leadership stands in the way of development. Our leaders, who are the third eleven, perceive leadership as an opportunity to amass wealth by corrupt means. So, Nigeria is stagnated. Our educational system is in tatters with millions of unemployable university graduates roaming the streets. Power supply,

which is the chief driver of industrial development in any country, is erratic. Some major Federal roads in the country are so rutted that they bring back memories of dilapidated thoroughfares in war-ravaged countries like Afghanistan, Cambodia and others. Now, well-heeled Nigerians seek medical treatment for minor ailments like headache and malaria in Europe and America. In order to become the true giant of Africa, Nigeria needs fixing. But, achieving national integration and unity and having a competent and patriotic political leadership are keys that will unlock our potentials and take Nigeria to a great height. Concluded

Issues about N213bn power sector intervention fund Nigeria has unbundled the power sector by selling the generation and distribution arms to private investors.

According to the Minister of Petroleum Resources, Mrs. Deziani Alison-Madueke, the decision to release the fund was informed by the need to stabilise output at 5,000 MW by the end of the year.

Traders lament low ram sale after Sallah Johnmark Ukoko

Investigation by Saturday Newswatch at the popular Kara Market, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun state showed that many of the animals brought to the market from far north and some other neighbouring countries are still on sale. One of the ram sellers who simply Š interview with Saturday Newswatch disclosed that he witnessed a low patronage in this year’s sallah in comparism to the past ones. Hassan said many Islamic faithful who came to the market to price the rams left without buying any, adding that the

/ "* borrowed the money to buy the rams in the north. * … > / from my friends, and bought some rams on credit, with the expectation that I will sale everything in order to pay my debts $ / their animals without paying full for them. … ‰ / > ‹ * is no market for rams. How do I get $ customers who gave me their animals on credit. The sales this year was very low compare to the past years.� At the Orile Iganmu ram market in Lagos, the situation was the same as our correspondent saw many rams in the market, without buyers coming for them. A seller of rams at the market who gave his name as Alhaji Mohammed Inuwa in a chat with Saturday Newswatch, disclosed that he witness low sales as

many buyers complained of lack of money. He said the prices of the rams were not much higher than in the previous years, but the lack of cash by many Islamic faithful prevented them from buying the animals. ‹Œ animals but only few were able to buy. When I asked them why are they not buying, they say they do not have enough money on them. The animals are still there now, their prices have come down, yet there are still no buyers,� he lamented. He said many traders who brought rams to the western region, with the hope of making brisk business, were disappointed as they could not achieve their plans, adding that some of these traders have to stay behind for more weeks to enable them sale all their animals before returning back to their bases.

Return of shopping malls and challenge to SMEs In the past, foreign shopping malls in form of supermarkets were in Nigeria. Some of them include Kingsway, Leventis, Domino, UTC stores, and a host of others. These were the preferred places for foreigners, rich Nigerians as well as the middle class of that era do their shopping. However,

out, but today, have risen again, and are located everywhere. JOHNMARK UKOKO writes.

M

alls were formally seen as the exclusive preserve of the rich, but in the last few years, the construction of The Palms, Apapa Mall, Citi Mall and Ikeja Mall all in Lagos State, / all over the country, the mentality has changed. The economic down turn of the 90s beginning with the fallout of the Structural Adjustment Programme (SAP) which reduced drastically the patronage of the middle class alongside their foreign counterparts of the shopping malls. This impacted negatively on the fortunes of the malls, resulting to the forceful closure of most of them. Apart from the reduction of the middle class in the 90s and the departure of foreigners as a result of the down turn Œ * : " fake and substandard products into the country also sent many shopping mall operators out of the country as the prices of quality wares sold at the malls could not compete with the price of substandard products sold in the open markets. Some foreign investors who heeded the Federal Government’s calls to invest in the country also delved into retail business with international retail stores including the very popular South African owned Shoprite which is fast spreading to all the major cities in the country. Saturday Newswatch’s checks showed

Lekki, Festac Town, Ikeja, Port Harcourt, Ilorin, Enugu, Abuja, Ibadan and other locations, while construction projects are ongoing in Warri, Benin City, Uyo, Calabar, Kano and Kaduna to mention but a few. However, since the beginning of the late 2000s, there has been an upswing in the number of big supermarkets and shopping malls across the country owing to the success of Shoprite. Saturday Newswatch’s investigation revealed that some of the big supermarkets and shopping malls, with

$ include Shoprite, Just rite shopping malls, Ikeja Malls, Lagos Citi Malls, Eagles Supermarkets, Park & Shop and a host of other shopping malls not to forget the old Domino stores, with headquarters at Yaba. An insurance executive, Mr. Adeoye Layiwola, who works with Leadway Ansurance Company, disclosed that the recent rise in the number of shopping $

to the growing numbers of the middle

class and the economic reforms of the democratic government since 2000. Layiwola said that many Nigerians are experiencing economic prosperity across the sectors, leading to the establishment of shopping malls across the country to meet their changing tastes. According to him, with a growing middle class, rising economic prosperity and changing demographics, retail malls are daily springing up in major cities across the country. The insurance executive, who is also a member of the middle class, said the increase in shopping malls in the recent times is a testimony that the economic situation of many Nigerians are looking up, adding that most of the shopping malls in the country became worship centers when the country’s economic situation was in terrible situation. Another respondent who is a regular visitor to the various shopping malls in Lagos, Mrs, Rhoda Okenyi, told Saturday Newswatch that she patronises Shoprite and some other shopping malls because she is sure of the quality of the products

+ Mrs. Okenyi said that the ambience surrounding the malls, the functional air conditioners and the arrays of products * compared to the dirty nature of many local open markets. “Since the arrival of Shoprite, Justrite, Park& Shop and other retails stores in Lagos, I have fallen in love with them. The imported products, fresh and clean fruits, vegetables, iced creams and wines are irresistible. My kids always look forward to our going there. The place is very clean, $

as against the rude and aggressive local traders. “The shopping malls are becoming popular among Nigerians because the quality. The sellers cannot cheat you,

/ $ + ` $ / the prospective buyers, simply because you bargain or price lower than the local seller expect from the prospective buyers. The environment in the shopping malls reminds me of what is obtainable abroad.� Okenyi stressed that Nigerians who wish to buy quality products do not need to go abroad to do that, as most of the shopping malls have varieties of dresses, shoes, provisions, household items, / * * * products and any other product one can imagine. A visit to Justrite Shopping mall at Abule Egba, Lagos and its outlet at Sango, Ogun State recently, showed that the malls are the preferred place of shopping by the inhabitants of the area. A source at Justrite mall, Sango, who gave his name as James, disclosed that most of the youths and the kids of Sango prefer to patronise Justrite supermarkets to buying from roadside shops or the open markets all over the town. James said that the working class, youths, students and kids are the major customers of the outlets, while the old people and Nigerians who are always in a haste are the people who prefer the local markets, because of the long time it takes

The state governments are wooing promoters of the various shopping malls to establish one or more shopping malls in their state capitals. Establishment of shopping malls has been seen as one of the achievements of the state governments where the malls are located. More and more shopping malls will be opened in the near future, to meet the yearnings of Nigerian youths and kids who are

the malls.�

He said that many Nigerians in recent times are in love with the big super markets because one can pay for goods with Point of Sales (POS) and Automated Teller Machine (ATM) cards, adding that lack of cash does not prevent one from buying from the shopping malls as against the local markets that deal mainly on cash. However, despite the good sides of the shopping mall, the negative side is the issue of security threat, as shopping malls have become prime targets for terrorists’ $ 6 * / / “ some countries in the past. The Director General of Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), Muda Yusuf, said shopping malls pose a major threat to jobs in the retail sector of the economy. He said that the traditional

outlets or stores cannot stand the competitive strength of the big shopping malls, especially in the cities. In his words, “Traditional retail outlets within three or four kilometers radius of these shopping malls stand the risks of closing shops because of the competitiveness issues. Any small retail store close to shopping malls will struggle to survive, as many people will prefer to go to the bigger shopping malls.� The Lagos chamber boss also disclosed that bigger shopping malls pose a major threat to jobs in the retail sector of the economy. The traditional retail outlets or stores cannot stand the competitive strength of the big shopping malls. Š Œ institutions are quick to support the bigger malls as against the smaller stores which struggle to secure credit facility from the local banks. An economic analyst who is the Principal Partner of Swot Services Limited, Mr. Billy Alighoda, in an interview with Saturday Newswatch, disclosed that the Federal and state governments have supported the promoters of the big shopping malls, hence the spread of big shopping malls across the country. He stated that the large population in the country has motivated the foreign promoters of shopping malls to situate their malls all over the country, adding that as population of various cities continue to grow; new shopping malls will be established. According to him, “In the past the likes of Kingsway, Leventis stores, UTC stores, Domino stores and a handful of other shopping malls were all located in Lagos, today, the situation has changed. The Shoprite in Enugu is the biggest for now, bigger than the Lekki, Ikeja, Festac Town, Ibadan, Ilorin and Abuja. Nearly every major city in the country has one or more bigger shopping malls. “The state governments are wooing promoters of the various shopping malls to establish one or more shopping malls in their state capitals.

Unrepentantly blunt, Hajiya Mohammed, however, has a genuine love for her country. She was a member of the committee set up by President Goodluck Jonathan to help resolve the Boko Haram challenge. She spoke with Editor, Northern Operations, AKIN ORIMOLADE, for the first time on her committee’s work, the 2015 elections, INEC boss, the leading opposition party - All Progressives Congress (APC), General Buhari’s continued interest in the presidential race, among other topical issues.

2015:Jonathan is unstoppable – NSC boss No LG elections in Benue – Suswam

Hon. Gbenga Elegbeleye is the Director-General, Nigeria Sports Commission (NSC). As a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the former member of the House of Representatives for Akoko North East/West Federal Constituency, Ondo State, recently visited IkareAkoko for a meeting of the party, after which he spoke with some journalists about deliberations at the meeting

C

an you tell us some of your discussions at the meeting? We discussed mainly the 2015 elections. Since we don’t have a governorship election here, we discussed how we are going to conduct ourselves as a government party during campaigns - to educate our members to play the game according to the rules. We don’t want violence. We also discussed the forthcoming presidential and National Assembly elections, the issue of registration of our members for the election and how to unite the party in preparation for the election. Out of the three senatorial districts in Ondo State, this (Akoko North East/West Federal Constituency) district seems to be the stronghold of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Did you also discuss that? I don’t see the APC as a strong party here; I wouldn’t know where you get that information. Although we have a serving senator here who is a member of the APC, he got the ticket on the platform of another party. He contested and won under the platform of the Labour Party (LP) where Governor Olusegun Mimiko was his governor and his party man. That is what he used to win. I am sorry I am not trying to cut him low, but he cannot win any election here under the APC. Mark my words. Those who were here at the meeting, apart from my local government, are from his local government. We have prominent politicians from his local government. The APC can’t win this senatorial district; it is not possible. Governor Mimiko has 9 Will that not destabilise the arrangement already on ground? I don’t think so because politics is very dynamic. You woke up today and have agreement on what to do tomorrow; in the evening you observe that the earlier agreement cannot work; you may have to reverse. So, there won’t be any problem; it is more of an advantage to us, because it means we are not going to struggle to win the

I see that one as a mere street talk because the PDP has set ƒ $

in which I am a member. Senator Bode Olajumoke, Chief Olusola Oke, Tokunbo Kayode, Kingsley Kuku and some others are also members. In case of any discussion, we are to do that at the national level for the party. So, all that is not correct.

' Remember, in the last general this? election, President Jonathan won clean and clearly in Oyo and Ekiti states. These are states controlled by the APC. The presidential election is all about interest; it has to do with regional interest. I don’t see a South West man saying he will not vote for President Jonathan. It is not about the governor that controls the state; it is the people that decide who they want to vote for. If you have travelled on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway recently you will see the work going on there. That is a plus for the President. So, it has to do with those who have interest in one way or the other. You may be a medical practitioner or farmer; what the President has done for : the thinking of those who are in that profession. Sports enthusiasts may wake up and say President Jonathan is the best President Nigeria has ever * : people in that area to vote for him. So, it is all about interests.

But based on our experience, we can say that people don’t maintain facilities in markets. So, we decided to sell the shops. Initially, because of the price, we discovered that few people came for it. We went back, beat it down and made it long term. Now, people are rushing to collect the forms and take over the shops. I have not launched the market because of the road.

I am looking for money and I wish I even have enough shares to sell to solve some of the problems that we have but unfortunately, we don’t have. The shares we have in Benue = $ –ˆ units. No one is in the market. So, it’s a good thing they have decided to give them out. Jokes apart, the Benue Investment Property Company (BIPC) that is in charge of business portfolios of government is supposed to trade in shares if it has them. That is why it is set up. Without reference to me, there is a company; it’s a limited liability company. Other investment companies in this country invest on behalf of their states. Without trading in shares or some of the assets that we have, that company is useless. That is what it needs do but since it has been set up, none of such is being done. It needs to invest on behalf of the state. When I came in, it was the commissioner / / of that company’s board. I decided to set up a board headed by a man of high integrity so they can begin to do things and within this period, / / also building a massive and beautiful estate in Abuja. We have decided to build a shopping mall. So, if at all the company decides that we need to trade in these shares, get some other shares, buy this and that, it’s okay. That is what it is set up to do. It’s not me. But like I said, we have just –ˆ why we lost the directorship of the company. The units we have cannot give us the kind of money we are looking for. Other states who have sold their shares have provided serious infrastructure for their people but we don’t have enough to do that. But if the BIPC wants to sell shares, it has the right to do so. Its mandate gives it the right to do so. But I don’t think it has started doing so. Looking back, will you say you 9 Continued on Page 57

‘Why Keshi was sacked’ Emeka Ezeugwu

I

n addition to popular belief that Coach Stephen Keshi was sacked yesterday morning for lousy performances of the Super Eagles in the ongoing Africa = ” * Newswatch Sports can reveal that Keshi was booted out also for : + The Germany based global sportswear manufactuer had signed an improved four-year contract with Aminu Maigari-led Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) worth Euro 3,200,000 on March 6th, 2010, but barely two years into the contract, Adidas terminated the agreement (on August 2014).

Part of the agreement with Adidas mandated the sportswear manufacturer to kit each of the 11 Nigerian national teams annually in addition to annual royalties and bonuses ” tournaments But Newswatch Sports gathered that when Keshi was appointed to head the Super Eagles and prior to the World Cup in Brazil, he negotiated a personal sponsorship deal with rival kit producer -- Nike and also enticed some Eagles $ disregard to the existing NFF contract with adidas. It was learnt that as Keshi and some Eagles players appeared in 6 World Cup, Adidas

$ dated August 12th, 2014 in which they said they were no longer ready to continue partnership with Nigeria. A highly placed source who disclosed this to Newswatch Sports said this was one of the many sins of the outgone Eagles coach as the new NFF board is bent on embarking on aggressive sponsorsp drive for the national teams and thus did not want Keshi’s obstacle as they might

still approach Adidas again. “Maigari was terribly weak in disciplining Keshi over the breach and this did not go down well with Adidas management, so they had to pull out. Keshi knew that if he was coaching an European club, he would not dare contravene

6 $ + Š deliberately did it because he knew that NFF couldn’t sanction him on that, the source added. The source also said despite Keshi’s brave face and boasts that several countries were on queue waiting for him, he desperately wanted

Martins

illarreal of Spain striker, Ikechukwu Uche and USbased Obafemi Martins lead a set of players who could have their international careers revived following the return of Shaibu Amodu as interim Super Eagles Head Coach. Both players, who are currently playing well for their respective club sides, were ignored severally by outgoing manager, Stephen Keshi, who was relieved of his duties on Wednesday after winning his last game in charge.. The incoming Amodu is expected to call up the duo to beef up Super ! $ 6 looks to salvage its hopes of qualifying for next

year’s Afcon tournament. “ / axed by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after several weeks of agitation for his removal by Nigerian fans and other football stakeholders, due to the poor performance of the national team, and particularly for his refusal to include some of the country’s best legs overseas. Keshi’s allegation that Ike Uche was not interested in playing for Nigeria drew the ire of fans, who were also / equally told Nigerians that Obafemi Martins, who is one of the best 6 ‡ Soccer in the United States of America, is “too old� to be in his team. It took the courage of

Ike Uche for Nigerians to know that all that Keshi has been saying concerning him were falsehood, even as Ike declared that he has not spoken to Keshi since the end of the Nations Cup in South Africa. Many fans felt Keshi personalised the national team and wanted him out at all cost, but what actually nailed the former Anderlecht star was his chain of poor results, winning only once in 11 matches leading to last Wednesday’s 3-1 win against Sudan. After crashing out of the World Cup in Brazil, Keshi didn’t deem it necessary to return to the country with the players in pretext that his contract with the National team has expired. He later accused the NFF of

being a stumbling block $ $ / particularly South Africa which forced the Jacob Zuma country to deny the claim twice. As if that was not enough, he gave the NFF a condition that nobody has ever demanded of any country. He demanded that he would only accept to handle the national team on the condition that he will not work with the technical $

and that his salary should be increased from

/

]} to 15million in a month. With Keshi gone, the door could be open to good players like Uche brothers, Obafemi Martins, Victor Anichebe, Chinedu Obasi Ogbuke, Sunday Mba, and budding Man City star, Kelechi Iheanacho.

Akpabio has done well, but I’ll do better – Ebito F

Community wants rotation of House of Reps seat

Sylvester Idowu, Asaba

Justice Nya Ebito of Oron Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State is one of the strong gubernatorial contenders for next year’s election in the state. €  ‚ ƒ € „ ƒ ƒ€ the Land Youth and Allocation Committee of the † € ‡  ˆ +

+ ‰Š*‡ ‡)‡ ‹Œ  Governor Godswill Akpabio has done his best to his people with more people-friendly revolutionary developments if elected in 2015.

A

s a citizen of Akwa Ibom State and governorship candidate, in what areas do you think a dedicated governor needs work, considering the volume of work already done by the outgoing government? We have seen roads; we have seen bridges but the people are hungry and jobless. That is the area God is calling us to work. We have to create wealth in Akwa Ibom State and create employment opportunities for our teeming unemployed youths. That is basically what we want to do and we want to do that through massive industrialisation of the state. Could you objectively rate Governor Godswill Akpabio? I think he has done well in terms of infrastructural development but there are many areas that are lacking. Of course, we should know that no one governor or government could do everything for everybody. But so far, I think he has tried to turn the state around. Do you have any plans concerning the security of life and property in the state? Few months or years ago the situation was very bad. Our people could not sleep with their two eyes closed and many of them were relocating to neighbouring towns. But there has been a lot of improvement in this area. My government intends to ensure an enduring peace, safety and total security without which businesses cannot thrive. We intend to create a very enabling environment for investors to relocate from elsewhere to our state. That, we will do massively through what we call community policing where youths in every community will be the ones parading and carrying out surveillance to ensure that there is peace, safety and security in all the communities. ! # of governance should be left in the hands of politicians. What arguments do you, as a cleric, have to justify your governorship aspiration? ` ” / politician? A politician is one who practices politics. A lawyer can be a politician; a medical doctor can be a politician; a pastor can be a politician and any professional can go into politics. There is no one that can say I am a professional politician, except

you have been there over the years; but you got there from somewhere. So, anybody who has interest to serve the people can become a politician by practicing politics. So, there is nothing wrong in me or any pastor, man of God or minister of the gospel going into politics as long as he is focused and ready to serve the people. Many people believe that politics is a dirty game and that it involves killing, shedding of blood and that if you don’t belong to their group you can’t get into power. How do you hope to cope with such a situation? That is not true. The truth is that in politics, like in every other job, there are the good and the bad ones. Ever profession has its own good side and bad side as well. If you look at the * who are not doing well; there are

” 6* 6 of rubbish; and there are some who are doing well in the profession. In the same way, even in the ministry, there are good pastors and there are bad ones too. So, it is possible for you to have good politicians and bad politicians. Why a man or child of God should go into politics is to sanitise it 6 $ practice. If we allow it to remain in the hands of bad elements and cultists, it will remain that way. So, we are going in to politics to sanitise it; clean it up and keep it for everyone and our children to practice. You were once the chief registrar of the Akwa Ibom State judiciary. What is your score card to show how much the state? My tenure was very phenomenal and revolutionary in Akwa Ibom State. Anybody can testify to that fact. In terms of employment, we opened up avenues. Before I came on * / /

+ ` / $ the director’s schedule. It was me who made that to happen. Today, graduates who have served a number of years can be promoted to become directors. In terms of infrastructural development, ours was also very revolutionary. If you go to the ”

you will see a project called ‘Judiciary Multi-purpose Hall.’ We built that hall through direct labour and not by government contract or budget. When

and pen etc, whatever remains he spends. But in our own case, we used it, not only to build that structure, but many courts around the state were built from our imprest. So, in terms of infrastructural development, ours was very revolutionary and phenomenon and people can testify to it. The Umanas, Udoms and other such big names are already warming up to challenge you in the quest to rule Akwa Ibom State. How do you hope to beat them and become the number one citizen? Our campaign is issue-based and not on personality. What are the issues that we have put forward that will be a blessing or plus to the people? That is where we have an edge over the rest of them. They are going there with their big names. Many of them have done so badly in the state; they / rejected by the people. Our strength is that we are not in the camps of any of

+ ` themselves. We are not part of them and the people of Akwa Ibom State want to do away with them and have a clean slate. What if at the end of the day you are not elected; what will be your

word for Akwa Ibomites? That they should be patient and that one day God will give them someone that will do his bidding and be a blessing to them and the state. Akpabio has gathered laurels for himself as the best governor because of development. How do you hope to sustain this record and even beat it if elected? Akpabio has done extremely well and we hope to stand on his shoulders

$ + „ * / 6 $ + He has thought us a lot of lessons; so, nobody will go in there and play. Every successor wants to beat his + ` " what we intend to do; we will do $ + \ / / * / did will be so dwarfed that nobody will remember them again because /

$ than him in every respect. There are so many things he has not done which we intend to do. For instance, ƒ /

is done about them. We intend to ameliorate their problems and make life comfortable for them. There are so many things that we will do that will endear us more to the people than what he has done. The issue of Biafra came up early this year when the governor held a memoriam to mourn soldiers who fought in the war. What is your position about the whole Biafra episode in Nigeria’s history? My position is that that war was so unfortunate but then it thought us a lesson - that no section of the country should be marginalised or to feel not needed or wanted; otherwise, there might be a repeat of that ugly incident. Although the Igbo fought and were defeated so to speak, they have come up again. They are at the forefront of business in Nigeria. The down fall of a man is not the end of his life and that is a lesson too. That war was very unfortunate, it was avoidable and it should have been avoided but unfortunately our leaders then did 6 $ it happened that way. But we have learnt so much from it and our prayer is that it will not happen again. That is my position.

ollowing what they described as unjust marginalization of other communities in the constituency, elders and stakeholders of Isoko South Constituency II have insisted on the rotation of the House of Assembly seat among the six wards of the constituency. Rising from an enlarged meeting recently, they held that the rotation arrangement should be strictly adhered to accommodate other wards in the administration of the constituency. The elders and stakeholders however used the occasion to endorse the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan on Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Chief Ferguson Onwo as their preferred choice for the office. They explained that their decision was arrived at after a thorough evaluation of the situation and due consultation with the people across the constituency. The meeting which was convened by the former Member of the House of Representative, Prince Anthony Efekodha, and had in attendance over 10,000 people including community leaders, leaders of thoughts, unanimously agreed that it was time for the present occupant, Prince Johnson Erijo to give way, having represented the people for 12years. “Without talking too much, let me state clearly that we have crossed our endurance limit. A situation where one man will continue to sit in an office for 12yrs and still want to continue is totally unacceptable� he said, noting that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a party that believes in rotation and was clearly entrenched in the party’s constitution and must be respected by all. Prominent political leaders who spoke at the occasion included Chief Mike Edegware, Hon. Chief Iduh Amadhe, Chief Harrison Onwo, Chief J. Ojobor and Chief Jonathan Uriri, Chief Akpomeza, Sir. Prosper Irogbo and Chief Ben Oheri.

Banks are killing businesses – Enyinnaya Mr. Christian Ndukwe Enyinnaya, a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Bankers (CIBN), a retired banker as well as a publisher, is professional who had

hy is it that importers shy away from banks’ import 9 , Importers prefer to buy and pay directly so as to cut cost. For instance, importers prefer to pay directly to paying through the bank which will $ credit where one is expected to pay the correct charges, devoid of short cuts. This is unlike buying dollars or pounds from the parallel market and requesting that the invoice be reduced so that less charge will be paid. For instance, if an importer imports goods worth $10, 000, he will demand invoice of say $3,000 which $ + > / *

This also triggers corruption among the various agencies at the borders. ' , The Federal Government must realise that Nigerian ports are in competition with other ports around us. The government must do all it takes to make our ports competitive. The government must listen to the complaints of port users to ensure it removes all obstacles

6 $ to Nigerian businessmen/women. The governments of other countries are deriving lots of revenue from

As a chartered banker, would you say the local banks have supported importers and exporters adequately? No! Rather Nigeria banks are killing businesses. ' , The local banks are not supporting importers and exporters as much as it should. The right procedure $ exporter who approaches his bank, but due to protocol and bureaucracy, many importers and exporters prefer parallel market. Also, many banks are not in tune with import * businessmen to go to the parallel market to buy dollars and send same to their exporters abroad.

In import * / arrived that the exporter is paid. / % ÂĽ , As an experienced banker and now a business consultant, I will say the local banks have not done enough to help the business sector as well. As I said earlier, the banking sector is killing the business sector. There is the problem of high turnover of workers in the banking sector. Many banks do not train their employees anymore as it used to be. Instead of local banks assisting their customers’ businesses, they rather compound their problems. Many so called “bankersâ€? do not understand the rudiment of banking. Some chartered bankers do not understand basic banking terms, and you don’t blame them since their employers do not care to train them.

Another major challenge confronting writers and publishers is the problem of piracy. Also, the reading habit in Nigeria is at the lowest ebb. Nigerians are no more reading. Social media has taken over the roles of books. So writing these days is just to advance knowledge and touch lives. I have continued to write and publish books after books.

have packed up in Nigeria. of our banks failed because some of these banks dabbled into many things they should not have gone into. A case study is the defunct Allied Bank. Some of the failed banks went into long term transactions, which led to their insolvency. Some banks went into trading under the guise of “universal banking’ while some others abandoned their key functions, and started to compete with their depositors for all manner of businesses. The June 12, 1993 elections annulment also accounted for some banks failure, as many depositors went to the banks to withdraw their money, in apparent fear of an outbreak of civil war. Many banks did not recover from the crisis of the election annulment. ' " , Professor Charles Chukuma Soludo is not a banker. He is an Economist. As an economist, he has a big dream of banking as a big institution to + ` / not right. Experience has shown that some banks wished to remain small, but Soludo forced them to become very big through forced mergers, creating strange bed fellows. A typical example was the defunct Spring Bank which had Guardian !" * Z/ * = ~ \ 6* =\ and many others. This led to board room squabbles, leading to the removal of the managing director. This situation prompted Soludo’s successor to create “Bridge Banks� from the banks, which were forced to merge. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi is a trained and competent banker. I will describe him as a ‘carpenter banker’, whose only tools is hammer and nails.’ He failed to realise that there is nowhere in the world where you will get 100 per cent performing loans in banks. He sacked some of the banks’ managing directors and the boards. His policy in the banking sector prevented banks from granting credit facilities to genuine businessmen/ women. I supported him in his action to sanction those banks’ chiefs who ran their banks aground. Sanusi was a terror in the banking sector, busy wedging war against bank owners, although there were some bad eggs among them. Sanusi as the CBN governor used the power he had with excessive force.

Anansi & the Chameleon

Free, fair elections, Jonathan’s greatest achievement, says guber aspirant Nath Omame, Port Harcourt

A

governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Rivers State, Nimi Walson-Jack, has said that the greatest achievement of President Goodluck Jonathan is providing an enabling environment for conducting free and fair elections, held in a manner that has been largely

: popular will if the people. Walson-Jack made this assertion, in Port Harcourt, yesterday, stressing that creating an atmosphere for free and credible elections remains “President Jonathan’s greatest legacy for which Nigerians will always remember him.� He stated: “The spirit of democracy unleashes human potential and

ability, which no other system of governance to date has been able to match. True advancement is built on freedom of choice. This to my mind is where President Jonathan stands head and shoulders above every Nigerian leader since our return to democratic experiment in May 1999. “Until recently, the experience of Nigerians with the electoral process had been agonising. However, since 2011, the President Jonathan’s administration has made free, fair and credible elections where votes count, and the will of the electorate is decided by the ballot not by judges in election tribunals.� He stressed: “Security organisations have put political thugs out of

business. The snatching " is no longer fashionable. The counting of ballots at polling units and collation of results in the full view of television audience has put paid to the manipulations associated with announcement of results. “In the last two years, elections have been held in Ondo, Edo, Ekiti and Osun States. In all these elections, the PDP won in only one states, signifying our president’s credentials in creating a level playing of the democratic ideal.� Walson-Jack explained that “President Jonathan, by his actions, sends an important message; that politics need not, and indeed must not be zerosum game. The idea that

“winner takes all� has no place in a democracy, because if losers lose all, they will opt out of the democratic game. Equitable distribution of resources, of responsibilities, the zoning and rotation of elective * in a democratic society.� The guber aspirant, who spoke at a “Prayer Rally for Nigeria and Jonathan,� maintained that “the second importance of his administration is the sustenance of democracy.� He pointed out: “It is has been 15 years since the return to civil rule in a constitutional democracy. The journey had been challenging. Jonathan’s administration is laying the foundation for a democratic society from the ruins of the past.�

people, we know them for promise and fail. “They have not been able to provide dividends of democracy for the people for 18 years, and soon they will come for your votes again. “We will vote for President Goodluck Jonathan to return for a second term because of his good works to Nigerians,

other elective positions will go to APGA. “Any PDP candidate that comes for your vote, don’t hesitate to reject them by pouring hot water on them because such people are not interested in your welfare, but to use and dump you.� The council chairman told the party faithful that the tour by theAPGA executives

in the area with other stake holders and himself was to thank them for voting for the party during the recent governorship election that ushered in Governor Chief Willie Obiano, House of Assembly members and council chairmen, adding that such feat should be repeated in the forthcoming 2015 general elections.

Coaches resign after team Kaita backs new Eagles coach taunts African about Ebola

T

wo high school soccer coaches in eastern Pennsylvania, United States, have resigned after their players hurled Ebola taunts at an opponent from West Africa. Northampton Area Superintendent Joseph Kovalchik said the coaches resigned Tuesday. He met with the team Wednesday and vowed to discipline any students who violated the school’s code of conduct. The comments came during a game last week against rival Nazareth Area High School, where the ]|ƒ ƒ from Guinea lives with a teammate’s family. The teen became upset and got in an altercation that led to his ejection from the game. ‘’I think some of it was trash talk. He had scored

His parents still live in Guinea, and he worries about them given the Ebola outbreak there. However, Nazareth students have rallied around him. Some have worn bracelets and posted tweets with the message, ‘’EndRacism.’’ ‘’He’s a great kid. He’s very personable.

hen Dr. John Kayode Fayemi (JKF) did the unusual by quickly conceding defeat to Mr. Ayo Fayose at the Ekiti election, I was one of those who hailed him. In my article titled “Ekiti Elections: INEC raises its game and Gov Fayemi redeems the political class,� I had concluded that JKF had placed his name in the hall of exceptional democratic leaders. His action was atypical among African politicians - to concede defeat in a political contest without ˆ‰‡ —‰(

‰ ‰ ‰ ˆ ‰

‰ ‰ to happen in Nigeria, it was inconceivable that it would come from an APC governor. My observation is that the APC publicity machinery has mastered the art of crying wolf when there is even no cat in the distance. They ‰ ‰‡ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ reason for disagreement. And then to be quiet when there was battle in their backyard was befuddling. Perhaps they were shell-shocked by the convincing trouncing by the PDP, against the run of play that they lost their voice for almost a week after the election and after JKF had made that memorable broadcast on that memorable Sunday, a few hours after the result of the elections was announced by INEC. I am sure that when JKF will write his memoirs, he will be gracious

‰ ‰‡ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ tivation for his conceding defeat so quickly. Forget the story that he did it so that Ekiti would not burn. That is a lame story. How could Ekiti burn? What were the large contingent of police and military men in Ekiti for? To watch Ekiti burn? If that was his true reason, why then did he allow the set up for Ekiti to ‰ ‰ ‰ ˆ ‰ ˆ& ‰ ‰ ‡ —‰+‰ ‰ that he will reveal the true reasons in the memoir.

Ayo Fayose:‘Politrick’ and attempt to subvert peoples’ will APC members. I am not sure the party has not changed course since then! Also because the ‘rules’ of the game, especially concerning the judiciary had been altered somewhat, nobody can rightly predict judicial outcomes any more. So what to do to stop Ayo Fayose from becoming the governor even after convincingly winning the election? Politrick? As a matter of fact, many commentators after the result of the elections had been announced, said in essence that the majority of the Ekiti electorate was “foolish� and stupid for voting Ayo Fayose, and actually seemed to be expecting apology from either the people or from Fayose for ‘deceiving’ the people and getting them to vote for him. When none was forthcoming, then a scheme had to be hatched to subvert the will of the ‘foolish’ people. And most of those in this plot parade themselves as ‘progressive democrats.’ And the Ekiti Eleven was born - a collection of revisionists who believe that their will must override that of the majority of Ekiti people. Their position was that Ayo Fayose ˆ ‰ ‰ ˆ ‡ ‰ ‰ ‰ ‰ tion, because he was impeached or because there were some allegations against him. They pretended they were pursuing a just cause through

˜ ™ +

the judiciary and connived with all those who hate the man with a passion, to push the judiciary to take hasty decision so that he could be stopped from being sworn in as governor. If anything can make Ekiti burn, this was one. And I was disappointed that JKF would allow this type of plan to go on under his watch. In his famous speech while conceding defeat, he was on record as saying that “Ekiti people had spoken� and that he was willing to submit to their will. So how come that he will allow a small clique of elites - no matter their credentials - to enter into an “unholy� alliance to undermine and thwart the will of the people? What gets me sad in all this is the conspiracy of silence in our country when evil is being perpetrated by the vocal few. I am appalled by the hypocrisy. Because it is Ayo Fayose, anything can happen! Nobody believed that Fayose would win the election except perhaps Fayose himself, not even his party. He won convincingly against most predictions. INEC could not disqualify him; his opponents could not prove he was ineligible to contest. Then despite all the stories told about him, despite the propaganda and de-marketing of Ayo Fayose, a convincing majority of Ekiti voters decided to vote for him. Should we not respect

Ayo Fayose may not be the best person in the world, and he certainly has his weaknesses and failings, most of which have been generously advertised, but the fact is that majority of voters Z[ < to lead them. To have convincingly defeated two incumbent governors at two elections to emerge governor of Ekiti twice is no mean feat the wish of this “foolish� majority and allow democracy to thrive in Ekiti State and in Nigeria? Must we use surreptitious methods including biased judicial panels to thwart the will of the majority and enthrone that of the minority? Ayo Fayose may not be the best person in the world, and he certainly has his weaknesses and failings, most of which have been generously advertised, but the fact is ˆ ‰ ˆ' &‰ ‰ ‰ ‰(# ‰‡ ‰ him worthy to lead them. To have convincingly defeated two incumbent governors at two elections to emerge governor of Ekiti twice is no mean feat. Like him or hate him, Ayo Fayose is a phenomenon who has not been properly represented in the media. Most of his personality is as portrayed in the media. It is escapist for commentators to think that he won the election just because of “stomach infrastructure�. I am not from Ekiti, and except for a few casual meetings, I have no personal relationship with the now Governor Fayose. But I am thoroughly intrigued by his political prowess. He is indeed a master strategist, and I believe that rather than vilify him, we need to try and understand the content of his strategy. My bible tells me that when the righteous come to power the people rejoice, and when the wicked bear rule, the people mourn. With his coincidental swearingin on October 16, same day he was impeached eight years ago, Ayo Fayose has been offered another opportunity to complete the work he started in Ekiti State. I believe he deserves the prayers of all lovers of Ekiti State and democracy. To continue to insist on undermining or subverting him, to me, will be like kicking against the stone. May the people of Ekiti rejoice!
