2015: Three jostle for Sambo’s job ...As Jonathan fails to name running mate Mu’azu, Shema, Shekarau tipped Akin Orimolade, Editor, Northern Operations
S
ome political leaders from the North met last week at various locations in Abuja and Kaduna for what a source claimed was deliberation on the possible replacement of Vice President Namadi Sambo. Already, there are speculations that National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Adamu Mu’azu; Katsina State Governor, Alhaji Ibrahim Shema; and the Minister of Education, Alhaji Ibrahim Shekarau, are separately being tipped as possible replacement for Sambo. Speculations that President Goodluck Jonathan might have caved to pressure from the critical North on the need to drop Sambo heightened when the President failed to announce the person that will next year’s election. Not a few had expected Jonathan to raise Sambo’s hand as his running mate for next year’s presiden>>Continued on Page 2

Cover Three jostle for Sambo’s job Continued from Page 1 tial race. The opportunity came on November 11 at the Eagle Square in Abuja, the day the President made a public declaration of his second term bid. His failure to do so might have led to the speculation. Some political leaders from the North had a few months ago written the President demanding that his deputy be dropped if the party hopes to make any impact in next year’s presidential election. Second Republic Federal legislator from Kano State, Hon. Sidi Ali, told Newswatch Times that he is one of the leaders that wrote the President on how best to garner votes at next year’s election. Sambo, the northern leaders claim, has ‘mini-
mal electoral value’ and has allegedly done ‘very little to defend and better the lives of northerners’. Ali claimed that Sambo displayed the highest level of political nativity when the President and former governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) - now Emir of Kano - Alhaji Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, had some misunderstanding. According to Ali, Sambo as a leading light in the North was expected to persuade his boss on possible peaceful resolution of the feud, regretting that the Vice President allowed his principal to ‘harass’ Sanusi. According to him, the President may be able to ‘squeeze’ out some votes from the North if a new political leader is picked to run with him.
However, some northern leaders are still sceptical about Jonathan’s political moves. They suspect that the President may still run with Sambo. “What he wants is for Sambo to mobilize some northern leaders to come and beg him, after which he would announce his name,� a source in the PDP elders caucus who sought anonymity, told Newswatch Times in Abuja. It was gathered that a reconciliatory committee headed by Chief Tony Anenih, Chairman, Board of Trustee of the party held in Katsina recently, to reconcile feuding camps in the party. The exercise was reportedly unsuccessful. Newswatch Times further gathered that some Katsina indigenes believed to
be loyal to Shema requested the slot of Vice President from the BOT Chair, zeroing it in on Shema. Their request was reportedly turned down by Anenih, who told them that there is no vacancy in ' #" > # residence of the Vice President. According to other sources, elder statesman, Chief Edwin Clark, had in a meeting with some northern elders told them that his â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; President Jonathan will still run with Sambo. Sambo and Clark are believed to be close. It was gathered that the â&#x20AC;&#x153;closenessâ&#x20AC;? informed the decision by Sambo to allow 5 < guest house located in Asokoro district, Abuja.

He continued: â&#x20AC;&#x153;In consequence, I allow the appeal and vacate the judgment of the Court of Appeal. I hereby order that the entire proceedings of the panel that purported, at the instance of the Taraba State House of Assembly, to investigate the allegation of gross misconduct made by the House against the appellant, the deputy governor of Taraba State, up to and including the incomplete and edited report relied on in removing the appellant by the House, be, and is hereby declared, null and void and of no legal or factual consequence whatsoever. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Parties are to bear their respective costs. Appeal allowed. Proceedings and report of the panel declared null, % " " '!! lant to resume his duties forthwith as the deputy governor of Taraba Stateâ&#x20AC;? the Supreme Court Justices ordered. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For no apparent reason for the indecent haste, the panel completed its sitting and prepared and submitted its report to the Taraba State House of Assembly between the 28th day of September 2012 and the 3rd day of October, 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a period of six days inclusive & " " $ Supreme Court noted with dismay. Justice Ngwuta observed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;as if the rushed justice was not bad enough, the panel presented to the Taraba House of Assembly an incomplete and edited report upon which the appellant was removed on the October 4, 2012, the day following the submission of the report. At least, the respondents did not disclaim the incomplete and edited report.â&#x20AC;? He said from the undisputed facts of the case, one has the inevitable but disturb-
ing impression that the panel composed of the respondents was a mere sham and that the removal of the appellant from
" " were. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my view, the respondents, in their purported investigation of the allegation made against the appellant, merely played out a script previously prepared and handed over to the panel,â&#x20AC;? Justice Ngwuta stated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most disturbing aspect of the Kangaroo panel is that it was headed by a man described in the processes before this court as a barrister â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one Barrister Nasiru Audu Dangiri. The third member of the panel was also described as a barrister â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one Barrister R.J Ikitausai. If these two men are actually members of the noble profession to which Your Lordships and my humble self, by the Grace of God, have the honour to belong, and not people who are, for self aggrandisement adopted the nomenclature â&#x20AC;&#x153;barristerâ&#x20AC;?, the harm they have deliberately perpetrated in this matter is so serious that the attention of the Disciplinary Committee of the Bar ought to be drawn to it. He posited that impeachment of elected politicians is a serious matter which should not be conducted as a matter of course, adding that, â&#x20AC;&#x153;whether it takes one day or the three months required by law, the rules of due process must be strictly followed.â&#x20AC;? The Supreme Court therefore cautioned that if the matter is left at the whims and caprices of politicians and their panels, a State or even the entire country could be reduced to the status of a banana republic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The procedure for impeachment and removal must be guarded jealously by the courts,â&#x20AC;? the apex court stated.

Entertainers turned politicians
W
ith the way practitioners of the entertainment industry are running towards the political arena, one would wonder if politics has become a retirement career. It was generally believed that older politicians retire to the comfort of the Senate where they could sit still, enjoy the privileges and do next to nothing in terms of work. But one still understands that " " ! $ " can always respond professionally to issues since it is still within the calling. The same could not however, be said of entertainers in the guise of comedians, stage and screen actors, musicians and the likes, who are daily expressing their interest to join one party or another for the sole purpose of vying for an elective position. What political experience do

2015 and need for Igbo presidency By Augustine Chukwudum
N
digbo Unity Forum (NUF), a worldwide Igbo socio-cultural organisation, has reviewed the performance of the Peoples Democratic Party led Federal Government since 1999, and found it wanting. The review was done after a three months tour of the South East and other parts of the country which revealed
Â&#x2C6;1Â&#x2C6; 0 any of its promises to Ndigbo. Today, it is no longer news that the proposed Onitsha seaport is a mirage and the so called Enugu International Airport is nothing to write * " " the airport owing to poor facilities. The media hype Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport is also a mirage, and so are roads, industry, agriculture, housing, pipeborn water, as well as urban and rural development.

The government has not constructed any dam for Agriculture just as 90% of its inhabitants cannot access portable drinking water. It is unfortunate that Ndigbo cannot count the teeth with the tongue, despite all the failed promises made by the Federal Government, both past and present. It is therefore, time for them to wake from their slumber as another election is around the corner, and ignore the so called Igbo leaders, who are mortgaging our future by drawing support for the PDP and President Goodluck Jonathan Â&#x201C; $ *" % of producing a president of Igbo extraction in 2015. We should note that any Igbo vote given to the presidential candidate of the PDP in 2015 will be a doom for us. This is the time to take our destiny into our own hands by rejecting the PDP in 2015 because there is no meaningful development.

Business & Economy Future bleak as falling oil price forces austerity
The hearing of the introduction of austerity measures announced by the Minister of Finance and Supervising minister of the economy, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala recently sent fears and jitters over the spine of Nigerians due to previous experience and the attendants hardship that followed. The measures was to be taking due to the continuous fall in the price of crude oil in the international community. ABIODUN AWOGBEMI and JOHNMARK UKOKO writes on the feelings, fears and expectations of Nigerians on the new measures and the falling oil price.

The OPS posited that the ability of a nation to generate foreign exchange determines the strength of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currency, and of the economy, especially where the resources are diversed, and not a mono as in Nigeria. The industry expert said there should be robust advocacy and awareness campaigns on the vast potentials of Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s minerals by the three tiers of government and other relevant stakeholders on continuous basis, through workshops, seminars, road shows and conferences.

The availability of international technology market, low cost mineral production processes which if properly sourced and assembled will minimise production costs, thereby ameliorate the impact of falling mineral commodity prices.

The party stated that â&#x20AC;&#x153;We note that while oil price skyrocketed in the last sixteen years, the people have been fed with wrecked infrastructures, grand reversal of the gains made during the previous era, a crumbling country, massive corruption, ineptitude and impunity.

The TUC president cautioned the Government on the inherent dangers in austerity measures warning that all stakeholdersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in the society must be part of the implementation processes for the policies to trickle down to rural areas. He said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We call on the Federal Government to put in place necessary policy measures that would ensure that the newly introduced austerity measures, following the continued drop in oil price in international market do not take the masses as target. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is because the austerity programmes administered by Western governments in the + Â&#x160; % * $ of course, intended as a remedy, a tough but necessary course of treatment to relieve the " *

In search of common currency for ECOWAS countries The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has set year 2020 as the deadline for the use of single currency in all the West African countries, and Nigeria is poised to play a major role in the process. While the plan apparently has received unanimous support, concerns have been raised regarding its effect on the economy, standard of living and other challenges confronting the country such as infrastructure, money
crimes among others. ABIODUN AWOGBEMI reports. Recently, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), during a meeting in Calabar, Nigeria, through the Director of Strategic Planning, Mr. Essien AbelEssien, disclosed that the strategic planning framework for 2016-2020 is to ensure that single currency is achieved by 2020 for use by all the West African countries comprising the Anglophone countries of Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone and Francophone counterparts which include Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Ivoire, Mali, Niger, Senegal, Togo and Guinea-Bissau and Guinea Abel-Essien explained that the implementation of the recommendations of the % % ! % " * a prerogative of the ECOWAS Heads of States. The 2020 vision, according to him, is to seek to create a borderless, peaceful, prosperous and cohesive region built on good governance, and also give people the capacity to access and harness its enormous resources through the creation of opportunities for sustainable development and environmental preservation.

In his own reaction to the fear of language barrier, the Head of ECOWAS National Unit, Ghana, Mr. Bonaventure Adjavor said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not see language as a barrier to single currency, the process to adopt the currency is ongoing and a new timetable has been set for 2020.â&#x20AC;?

$ of introducing a single currency within ECOWAS could be based on several historical observations. First, monetary unions tend

Second, regional trade is what drives economic growth, rather than transactions in the context of North/South specialisation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reason for this is that regional trade most often involves the exchange of similar products, avoiding the pitfall of national industries evicted by imports. Lastly, following on the trade tirade, the global economy is likely to take shape around currency poles soon hence it will be important for African countries too to have their own poles, alongside international currency poles, the dollar, the euro and the yen.â&#x20AC;? On the implementation of the single currency, the countries that are not members of the franc zone will set up their own monetary zone called the West African Monetary Zone (WAMZ), adopting a common currency and the West African Currency Unit (WAEMU), these countries are Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. Starting in 2020, the WAMZ and WAEMU will merge their two currency zones to create a single monetary zone throughout ECOWAS, adopting a new currency. Cape Verde and Liberia would also join this zone. The Cape Verde escudo is pegged to the euro.

According to the plan, there are supposed to be no any barriers per se, but the monetary union has better chances for survival when the member countries have similar economic structures, when their economic policies are coordinated, and when each country agrees to refrain from adopting policies that would be harmful to other members should serve to protect the zoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s agricultural and industrial potential; consequently, the exchange policy and trade policy will have to be linked when it comes to agriculture. The single currency should help limit the risk of Dutch disease, the impact of international exchange rate variations, and the instability of % " &

The Director-General of the Financial Institutions Training Center (FITC) based in Lagos, Nigeria, Mr. Oladimeji Alo, is of the opinion that by integrating the economies in West Africa, monetary integration will lead to the creation of a single regional market. The Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture (NACCIMA), arm of the Organised Private 27Â&#x2C6; 3$ " be adopted as it called for the adoption of Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Naira as the single currency for the sub region. NACCIMA said that for this to happen, the Naira should be revalued for it to be at par with the American dollar as it was in the 80s. The associationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former director general, John Isemede, who called for the adoption of Naira pointed out that the much talked about economic integration has been elusive for years because the requirements for the convergence
canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be met by participating countries. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our import cultures have not allowed economic integration and taking orders from other people to run our own country. Again, how can we achieve the economic bloc? We are talking of the Common XÂ&#x2026; ' + Â&#x2026; " Ă&#x152; we are a sub-region and not a custom union. For us to be a custom union, incentives, VAT,
$ Â&#x192; * same thing. Today, VAT in Nigeria is 5 percent, Benin Republic 20 percent; Ghana 17 percent, and if we now have all these, why will the borders not be porous and smuggling not be booming because there is a big advantage of routing your goods through Nigeria at 5 percent. How can we achieve free movement of goods with
'Â&#x152;Â&#x2030; In view of this, he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can develop our economy internally like what happened in the 80s, today the naira can become ECOWASâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; single currency. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All we have to do is to work on the Naira because in the past, people were traveling abroad with the Naira because it was more or less the single currency in West Africa. If the value of the naira today is N50 to the US$, a lot of experts in America would come back to Nigeria because the value of the currency. If you are mighty, other economies will run after you,â&#x20AC;? he said. According to him, Ghana Cedis and the CFA may not qualify for the single currency because they are overvalued and have been depreciating for almost 20 years; how can they meet the convergence? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, we cannot wait for this people because there can never be a convergence. It canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work. The CFA today is a member of the Euro because when France decided to surrender the French franc to Euro, the CFA automatically became Euro; if you are doing business with Francophone countries and invoiced your goods in dollars and pounds, you may not be paid because their currency is not tied to dollar and pounds. But if you invoice your goods in Euro, you will get your money because their currency which was once tied to the French franc is now tied to the Euro,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Politics Emergency rule of controversy Mansur Oladunjoye, Asst. Politics Editor
F
ederal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to extend the existing emergency rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states on Monday was the third time it has taken such a decision since security was heavily threatened in those states by the atrocious activities of members of the Boko Haram Islamic sect. This renewal which was met with mixed reactions was considered by the President and the National Security Council at the Presidential Villa where
Â&#x2021; * * % ! + by Boko Haram were extensively examined. The council which is one of the federal executiveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bodies established by Section 135 of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Constitution has the power to advise
Â&#x2C6; !
% to the defence of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Nigeria. Its members include the President (chairman); the Vice President (deputy chairman); Minister of Defence; Chief 1 Ă&#x152; " Ă&#x152; / Others are the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator Pius Anyim; Minister of Defence, General Aliyu Guasu (rtd); and the Minister of Interior, Mr. Aba Moro and such other members as the President may appoint. At the meeting, it was discussed that the much-desired peace still eludes the $ Â&#x2026; % the emergency rule that expired on Thursday was a must for the government. % ! " the Federation and Minister for Justice, Muhammed Adoke, shortly after the meeting, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we have just reviewed the issue of the state of emergency and the government would be requesting the National Assembly to extend the emergency rule.â&#x20AC;? It would be recalled that President Goodluck Jonathan, on May 20, 2013, declared emergency rule in the states following the nefarious activities of the Boko Haram sect, with the National Assembly supporting the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quest; since then the emergency rule has been extended twice. Newswatch Times learnt that there were calls for the sacking of the state governors to pave way for the appointment of military administrators. But the presidency has declared that it has no power to sack the governors. However, as noble as the idea was to the presidency and some Nigerians, it needed the approval of the Senate, which on Tuesday disagreed with the executive. Some senatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shout of â&#x20AC;&#x153;nayâ&#x20AC;? rented the Senate, when their leader, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, moved a motion requesting the Senate to go into an executive session to consider the presidential request. The situation forced the Senate President, David Mark, to state that the hallowed chamber must consider the request and debate it and thereafter approve or disapprove of it. To this, however, the senators agreed and after a two-hour executive session, they decided to adjourn the debate till Wednesday.
Jonathan
Tambuwal As many Nigerians are worried about the essence of the continued extension of the emergency rule which they claimed has not really yielded the desired result(s), the House of Representativesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; minority leader, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila declared: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The state of emergency has yielded no positive results and I do not see a need for yet another extension.â&#x20AC;? Though â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;uselessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to the likes of Gbajabiamila, the emergency rule was applauded by some Nigerians and groups. For example, the Borno State $ } ! $ well as stakeholders of the state chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Tuesday rallied support for the Federal Government, advising the military and other security agencies
% % the North East to be focused in order to * ! $ " general elections are fast approaching. Also, PDP stakeholders in the state have declared their supports, with a promise to ensure President Jonathanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s re-election in 2015. They reasoned that it is only the PDP-led administration

We rededicate ourselves to wresting power from the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Borno State and commend the security % in the antiâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;terror war.â&#x20AC;? ! $ signed by his spokesman, Mallam Isa Gusau, said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;No election in Nigeria should be worth the life of a single Nigerian. I am sure the Nigerian military knows this and is doing everything possible to safeguard lives and property even in the face of challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 2015 general election is a major factor that all stakeholders, especially the security agencies must be very wary of, so that we do not lose focus for a minute. The ultimate ambition of insurgents all over the world is to defeat constitutional governance and common sense and introduce violence which has no respect for human lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, why political parties and politicians get involved in the sometimes desperate struggles for power, we should be very thoughtful to realise the need to keep our security % % % insurgency and should not make them lose focus; and by that, give room for our common enemies, the insurgents, to extend their violence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be humane enough to remember that whereas some of us in position of authority and those with connections here and there may have

& Â&#x2030; Applauding the military for remaining focused so far, the governor advised that they should be encouraged to remain so; adding that if not for the military, other security agencies and determined civilian volunteers, the insurgents would perhaps have occupied most parts of Borno and other areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The military must not only preserve the existence of those we seek to lead when we win elections in 2015 but must also be allowed to do so,â&#x20AC;? he said, asking, â&#x20AC;&#x153;who do we lead if insurgents succeed over our citizens and occupy our territories? Of what essence will our positions of authority even be without those to be led?â&#x20AC;? According to him, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the safety of our people and their continued existence are more paramount to us than being in power.â&#x20AC;? He also said that he has no doubts about the sincerity of President Jonathan in seeking an extension of the emergency rule to make it easier for the security agencies to continue their service to the nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think an extension is reasonable in the circumstance we have found ourselves, just as it is also reasonable to take stock of what previous declarations have achieved,â&#x20AC;? he said, stressing that â&#x20AC;&#x153;no democratic government would wish to have military men roaming its streets with armoured tanks.â&#x20AC;?

Road to 2015 Polls
Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll launch Delta to new height â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Guber aspirant Olorogun David Edevbieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s calm visage and youthful look belies his intellectual depth and conviction. He was Delta Stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Commissioner for Finance from 1999 to 2005 when he voluntarily resigned and returned to the private sector and later, the Director of Finance and Strategy in the late President Umaru Yarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Aduaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presidential Campaign Organisation and subsequently worked as principal secretary to the late President till April 2010. In this interview with the media, he talks about his dreams for the state, convictions and why he feels he is the right man to govern the state for the next four years. BENSON EDJEWHOVBO covered it for Newswatch Times.
Y
ou have been in the news of late as one vying for the governorship of Delta State in 2015. What informed your decision to join the race?

Are you not bothered about the political complexity in the state, arising from it being a multi-ethnic state? What do you think can be done to redress the ethnic tension and suspicion? I think my response to the last question partly addresses this. Delta State like the larger polity called Nigeria is undergoing socio-political evolution and such complexities are bound to be the order of the day. But I am optimistic that with improved education we shall overcome. For now, what I think is required is for the political class, intellectuals ground and mediate our way out
of these complexities. Believe me, the masses are not sold on these complexities you are referring to. It is the political class that manipulates them to create ethnic divides. The current developmental challenges
1 the people truly want is good governance. Take, for example, the crisis currently brewing around the

I worked in the Philippines when they had similar problems and we handled it with all the dexterity that brought peace and prosperity to that region. As you may be aware, I played a pivotal role in resolving the militant crisis in the Niger Delta and the experience puts me in a good position to mediate in crisis situations like the one arising 1

implies. Nevertheless, in my humble opinion I believe that what Delta currently needs is an experienced person who can build on what _ =* the incumbent, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, have achieved so far. Many believe that my unique private and public sector experience at both the state and federal levels puts me ahead of others. Right now Deltans will be comfortable with someone who is detribalised, who can view the entire state from a pan-Delta perspective and who they can trust and work with.
Deltans will be comfortable with someone who is detribalised, who can view the entire state from a pan-Delta perspective and who they can trust and work with Edevbie Another advantage I have is that I am a bridge-builder as evidenced by the fact that I worked comfortably with everybody when I held the very sensitive position of Finance $ is a kind of consensus around my person and political aspiration. The politicians know I have no desire to retire them and the civil servants know that I have the technical skills to complement their work and allow them to contribute their quota to the development of the state free
& ' people know I am principled, very * Â&#x2026; " Ă&#x152; ^ why anecdotal evidence suggests that if a poll were done in Delta state today, stripping out party and ethnic considerations, nine out of every 10 Deltans would vote for me. I am clearly the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice. What is your assessment of the governments of Chief Ibori and Governor Uduaghan? Both governments did well and provided Delta and Deltans the launch pad to make the giant leap to development. Ibori opened up the state through massive road infrastructure and landmark * % ' linking up of every part of the state. He rebuilt schools and hospitals and more. Uduaghan continued from there by initiating a threepoint agenda of peace and security, human capital development and infrastructural development. Above all this, is his enunciation of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Delta Beyond Oilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; policy which I believe is a step in the right direction not just for Delta State but the whole country. This policy is what will sustain Delta State in the years ahead and I dare say that
only a development economist can see it through and I am one. At the moment the country is facing the prospect of economic austerity arising from the falling prices of crude oil. It is in situations such as this that a development economist of my calibre comes in on a rescue mission. And the Delta Beyond Oil policy remains the panacea. Now, tell us what you consider to be the developmental problems of Delta State and how you intend to manage them? One of the things I have done so far is to commission a mini Needs Assessment Bureau which went round the state to do an evaluation of needs assessment. I have reviewed the report and to be honest I already have a working knowledge of the developmental problems Â&#x2021; "$ = also done some critical thinking with the mini Bureau to evolve solutions. As an economist and development-oriented person I am
" * Â&#x201C; to say at this stage, that each of the three senatorial districts present development challenges, some of which are common and others are unique and I have solutions that
Because I already have the requisite experience unlike others, I will hit the ground running. Now, what are your plans for Delta State? I am a man on a mission that is inspired by a grand vision. First, I must restate my commitment to an idea I have had since 1999 which is essentially a pan-Delta agenda. Undoubtedly, while Delta State has made some progress since 1999, my desire is to launch the state into a new level hitherto un-conceived.
My plans for Delta State shall be a testimony to the manifold achievement that a stubborn dream, tenacious vision, purpose-driven and accountable leadership can make possible. I have a well laid out blueprint that can be called a version of the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Marshall Plan.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; First, I recognise the importance of education to the development of society. It is for this reason that I propose strict adherence to Â&#x2022;/X 7^
education. I shall ensure access to quality education at all levels and also rework the current education curriculum to be entrepreneurshipdriven. There will also be emphasis on civic and cultural education. I would like education in Delta * = 'Â&#x192; with regular training for all our teachers. Provision and upgrading of education infrastructure would also be prioritised. Education would continue to be subsidised and also be compulsory from primary to " Ă&#x152; bursary will be available to tertiary students. Secondly, massive improvement in the quality of the health sector is an essential part of my marshal plan 1 = % scheme that will guarantee access to Â&#x2021;
" * all Deltans irrespective of where they are in the state. I will build more modern health infrastructure to be complemented by the acquisition of advanced medical equipment even as primary and secondary health facilities are upgraded. There shall be regular recruitment and training of health personnel and subsidised medicare for pregnant women, "Â&#x192; " and citizens of 65 years and above.

Both teams have had a poor start this season by the high standards set by clubs of their size, however a win for either side will take them into the Top 4 if other results go their way. It will also be a big game for former Arsenal captain, Robin van Persie, who will no doubt be jeered by the home fans, and will want to prove he still merits a starting spot in this United side. Both teams have a serious backlog of injuries in their squads. Arsenal will have to make do without Mathieu Debuchy, Mesut Ozil, Vassiriki Diaby, while players close to returning are David Ospina, Laurent Koscielny, Mikel Arteta and Serge Gnabry. Strikers Danny Welbeck and Oliver
Giroud are both a small doubt but have a good chance of featuring. United are reported to be without Rafael, Marcos Rojo and Jesse Lingard, while there are concerns over the availability of David De Gea, Luke Shaw, Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, Angel di Maria, Daley Blind, Ashley Young, Michael Carrick and Radamel Falcao.

Sometimes, your marriage might just be focused on you â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what you look like, how you just messed something up, what you have on your schedule later, what you are looking forward to, etc. Generosity and considerate behaviours can go a long way toward nurturing a great marriage.

Be forewarned: they may not throw you a ticker-tape parade because you did it. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get caught up in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in it for meâ&#x20AC;? trap again. = "

Bridal Tips: How men can wear bright wedding colours
W
hen the bride and her attendants are wearing really bright colours like pink, charcoal suits look fantastic. There are many options for the accessories. Black shirts with silver ties. White shirts with silver ties. Black shirts with pink ties. White shirts with pink ties. The groom could wear silver and the groomsmen pink. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too much pĆ&#x2019;ink, then bring pink into the suit accessories or better still with a pink buttonhole (flower ). The groom could wear a white shirt and the groomsmen black. They could also experiment at the time
of the fitting until they come up with a combination that pleases them. The wearing of light colours such as grey by the groom can be fraught with danger at anytime, especially to a late afternoon wedding and evening reception.

My brother got married six months ago and I feel like I am inconveniencing them. Do you think this is a good idea? Linda, Ikeja Linda, If he really wants you to live with him, then he has to marry you. There are no two ways around it. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall into that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;marriage rehearsalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. If he is sincere, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to live with you to be sure that he wants to marry you. Although, many people would probably give reasons they are cohabiting. He wants to rent an apartment with you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; is it for economic reasons? Research shows that living together does not help people prepare for marriage or help them avoid divorce. There are many reasons you shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t live with your boyfriend until he marries you. One thing is that it clouds your judgment. You would think you know your man very well but the truth is that it is almost impossible to see a person objectively when you are living with them. There just isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough distance. You are more likely to break your heart. Sex is a God-given gift intended to bond a man and his wife. When you live with someone you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t married to, you bond with each other, too. Again, you may get pregnant with serious consequences. Remember that birth control FJPQUVXZV[[\[V]Z^V_Z`UVZzZ_UJ{ZVX|UVUQZ^ZVJ}V}UJ~~V V tiny percentage that could lead to pregnancy. Studies have shown that most relationships of cohabiting couples would most likely end â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 80 per cent of the time! So what happens to you?

Should I call him first?
I

Anyway, I got talking with a cute older guy and we exchanged numbers. He hinted that he would like to see me again. I really enjoyed his company and I would also like to stay friends with him.

If you really want my advice, I would say just wait for him to call. He isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a teenager; so it is not like he is shy or anything like that. There is usually a three to four day rule however; a time frame of more than one week ruins the momentum. There will be too much time between meetings for things to develop naturally.

Since we got married, my husband has stopped going out
I
got married to my long-time % " % = used to be an outgoing guy and enjoyed hanging out with my friends. Since we got married, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel it is right to keep going out. At the beginning, my wife liked the fact that I enjoyed spending all the time with her; but now, she says she is uncomfortable with my introverted lifestyle. She has started feeling guilty when she needs to hang out with her friends. What do I do? Yinka, Ajah Yinka, You agree that marriage is quite challenging, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t you? Our expectations for romance and love are wildly out of line with the reality of marriage. It is true that men (whether married or single) need to hang out with men regularly. One of the ways to remain balanced and sane in marriage is to make time to enjoy being with your own sex. Men and women who Q {ZVXZZ`VF ^^JZÂ&#x192;V VÂ&#x152;QJ~ZVÂ&#x2020;Â&#x201E;UZ`VÂ&#x2021;`Â&#x192;V themselves with no friends: their lives revolve around work and family, and they begin to feel constrained and isolated.
Marriage and children can blunt oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masculine edge, and in being a father and husband, you may lose much of your power. Men are masculine beings and enjoying the company of male friends can help them feel their innate masculine energy. Besides, men _UVÂ&#x192;JzZ^Z`U~Â&#x2C6;VÂ&#x152;JUQVÂ&#x2020;`~Â&#x2C6;VÂ&#x2020;UQZ^VFZ`V around, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to remember the â&#x20AC;&#x153;uncivilizedâ&#x20AC;? guy inside and fool ^Â&#x2020;|`Â&#x192;V V~J ~ZVXJUVÂ&#x152;JUQVUQZVP|Â&#x2C6;}\ It is always wonderful to get away sometimes. Just ensure that you are cautious about your hang-out spots and buddies. If you regularly go out with a group of male friends, make sure there are not places with available women. If Â&#x2C6;Â&#x2020;|VÂ&#x192;Â&#x2020;Â&#x2039;VÂ&#x2C6;Â&#x2020;|V ^ZVÂ&#x2122;J^UJ`PVÂ&#x152;JUQVÂ&#x192;J} }UZ^V because after a few drinks, anything can happen and you might have an z J^VUQ UVÂ&#x152;J~~VUQ^Z UZ`VÂ&#x2C6;Â&#x2020;|^VF ^^J PZ\V Also, be sure that you are not going out just to escape your marriage; probably because you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to deal with the inevitable problems and let-downs that marriage brings. Frequent escapes like this are dangerous and self-defeating, and they can weaken not only a man but his marriage. A strong man works through the issues in his marriage; he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run away.

No wonder the senators were divided over the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request. If â&#x20AC;&#x153;No,â&#x20AC;? how long then would the rule be observed in

Otherwise, with or without the emergency rule, the people are not even free to go out at will due to the obvious.

Â&#x201C; zone. Subsequent speakers
Ken Ojiri laments high poverty in Imo
commended the local government chairmen for their foresight towards ensuring fairness and equity in their decision. When the chairman of Chachanga Local Government Council, Alhaji Mohammed Gofementi spoke, he thanked his colleagues for the decision, saying he would prevail on the four other local government chairmen in the Minna Emirate to concede the senatorial ticket to Chachanga Local Government Area. Immediately after his speech, the four other chairmen unanimously said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;yesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and agreed to the plea of the Chachanga Local Government Council chairman. As if they had been waiting for the decision of the stakeholders, immediately after the new arrangement was announced and the meeting ended, a nongovernmental group, Talba Success Movement (TSM), purchased the
nomination and intent forms for the state Governor, Dr. Muâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;azu Babangida Aliyu, to contest the senatorial position in the zone. Leader of the organisation, Hamisu Jankaro, explained that the group had to wait for the outcome of the meeting before announcing its intention, adding that since the new arrangement had zoned the Senate seat to the Minna Emirate, it would be possible for the governor to contest in 2015. According to him, the governor is a very reliable candidate and would be good for the seat of the Senate in the zone, adding that he has been tasted, and would be able to represent them adequately in the Senate. The group urged Governor Aliyu to contest the senatorial seat next year. Jankaro handed over the expression of interest and nomination forms to Gofementi to
give to the governor. The new arrangement seems to have put all speculations on whether or not the governor would go for the Senate race to rest. However, there are still some people who are waiting to see if the senator would give in willingly to the new zoning arrangement or insist on contesting the decision to unseat him.
Gov. Aliu
frontline governorship aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Imo State, Mr. Ken Ojiri, has condemned the level of poverty in the state. Ojiri, who spoke during an interactive session with newsmen in Owerri, the state capital, lamented the excruciating poverty that has gripped majority of Imo populace, stating that it is a malaise that has to be tackled urgently if the state intends to catch up with the pace of economic development in other states. He said poverty has hindered economic growth and the development of the state, wondering why the government was unable to put in place measures that could arrest the anomaly since one of the major goals of government is the happiness of the people.

T
he Speaker, House of Representatives, Aminu Tambuwal, was on Tuesday reported to have opted out of the presidential race which form was purchased by 22 lawmakercolleagues, thus reverting to the earlier speculated governorship race in his state, Sokoto. Unlike President Goodluck Jonathan who graciously held on to the same form bought by well over 50 Nigerians, including peasants, Tambuwal not only wasted the hard-earned millions of naira spent on his form, but also blamed the donors who apparently did not study the situation well before casting their lot for him or rather decided to throw the money away to spite the President and his admirers in a way of saying that â&#x20AC;&#x153;if you could do that there; we can as well do it here.â&#x20AC;?

This situation is what some political observers across the state see as political suicide for Tambuwal, opining that he (Tambuwal) is an infant at that level. According to him, a presidential race is synonymous with a suicide adventure, adding that his move in that direction is like that of the former Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) boss, Mallam Nuhu Ribbadu, whose unrewarded adventure later reduced him into a state race. He thus advised him to borrow a leaf from Ribaduâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mistake. One other opinion has it that, Tambuwal is not likely to make such a terrible mistake, noting

Newswatch Times reliably gathered that Wamakkoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision to unilaterally lord Tambuwal on the APC and further install him as governor is being mercilessly contested by some prominent political heavy weights in the state.
They are contending that a level playing ground should rather be to try their might at the primaries and allow the popular candidate to emerge. According to the likes of Prof. Bashir and Hon. Abubakar Gwiwa who are prominent members of the APC in Sokoto who frowned at the decision to have a consensus candidate for the post of a governor, it is an anti-people stance. But Wamakko seems to have ignored this and solely opted for Tambuwal.

It is not crisis in the true sense of it. What happened was a disagreement, which is natural in any gathering of more than one person. At times, a man can disagree with himself. What we had is manageable and we are doing all we can at the party leadership level to douse it. My advice is that members should be allowed to choose their
we eventually continued the procession and achieved our aim. I must also say for emphasis sake that the intention of the thugs was to eliminate me. The question is: eliminate me over what? It is sad that some people have reduced politics into a do-or-die thing, which is wrong. If you are not elected today, tomorrow is still there if you remain focussed and show the people that you are more capable.
Alabi candidates for the post they feel Â&#x2021; vie for. Ordinary, members of the party should be respected because they are the substance of the party. The party cannot win any election without party members going all out to sell it to others and bring them into the party. That is the more reasons they need to be respected. Once you respect them, they are ready to accept whatever result comes out of an election. It was learnt that you witnessed what I may call â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;baptism of

But with what is on % $ * ! by the people, it is risky watching things go from bad to worse. For almost four years now, there is no physical and human development that one can see as an evidence that someone is representing them in the House of Representatives. There is this syndrome of god fatherism in Nigerian politics. Who do you look up to as your god father? I must sincerely tell you that I detest the thing they call god fatherism. It suggests lack of seriousness if a candidate who believes he has something
himself or herself to the level of godson or goddaughter. It simply means the person has compromised whatever vision he is pursuing because he has to operate according to the dictate of the so-called godfather. Without sounding immodest, it is something we should not encourage in whatever form
if we really want to move the society forward. The electorate should vote according to their conviction on the merit and competence of a candidate. What god fatherism means is that he can foist any candidate regardless of quality on the electorate. What an insult to the collective will of such a people! I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to have any godfather because it is an impediment to the type of development our society needs at this time the world is moving at a faster rate. That is why I like Governor Adams Oshiomole of Edo State. From day one, he made it known in clear language that he is in power to the serve the masses or the electorate, not a few.

One year after power sector transfer, darkness still lingers A little over a year after the Federal Government handed over the transmission, generation and distribution of power to about 18 privately owned companies, Nigerians are experiencing worsened power situation with electricity bills going over the roof. JOHNMARK UKOKO writes.
W
hen the Federal Government announced November 5, 2013 that it has unbundled the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s power sector, thereby handing over the generation, transmission and distribution to privately owned companies, many Nigerians celebrated. However, a year after, it appears the celebration was premature. Instead of Nigerians enjoying improved power supply as promised by the Federal Government and the promoters of the private companies, which the government handed the various components of the power sector to, the reverse seems to be the case. The electricity supply which marginally improved few months after the private companies took over has dropped drastically, as most parts of the country are in darkness, leading to various protests across the country. Speaking about the poor supply of power by the Port Harcourt Electricity Distributing Company recently, Mr. Andrew Ajayi, a resident of Port Harcourt, Rivers State, told Newswatch Times, that he and many residents of Port Harcourt have been without electricity for days, % * Â&#x2C6; Harcourt Electricity Distributing Company has more than triple in the past 12 months. = $ Q0 now, power supply in Port Harcourt has gone from bad to worse.

People who own pre %
Â&#x201C; " %
" distribution companies have imposed on the owners of prepaid meters. Ajayi is not alone in this lamentation. Many Nigerians across the country have berated the government and the agency it established to regulate power sector, the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), for conniving with
the promoters of the private companies that now own the power sector. The chairman of NERC, Ambassador Sam Amadi, has been accused of % + electricity distribution companies, which have frustrated Nigerians with NERC connivance. Making the allegation recently in a Lagos based private Radio Station was

" Â&#x2C6; 6 Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, Mr. Nurudeen Ibrahim, who said the private electricity distributions companies have refused to patronise his members, thereby frustrating Nigerians who wish to have prepaid meters. He alleged that his members have over 1.5 million prepaid meters to sell, adding that the private companies and NERC have refused to buy the meters from them. Ibrahim disclosed that the electricity distribution companies were importing prepaid meters from China, Japan, India and other countries while neglecting the ones produced locally. In his words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is sad that NERC and private electricity distributions companies are not patronising our members. We have three companies in Nigeria where prepaid meters are manufactured; in Lagos and Zaria, and instead of them buying from us, they import from India, China, Japan and other places. Reacting to complaints by many Nigerians that NERC has failed in properly regulating the power sector, the boss of the agency, Dr. Sam Amadi, appealed to / % Â&#x2026;
government and the private companies were doing all they could to ensure that Nigerians enjoy stable power supply. Amadi disclosed that government is working hard to ensure that private generating companies have access to gas supply, adding that shortage of gas and vandalism of power installation have impacted negatively on the power situation. However, the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola, commenting on the worsen power situation in the country, kicked against the Federal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s N230 billion intervention for the power sector. He said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The plan by the Federal Government to give the private electricity generating and distributing companies N230 billion intervention fund, is like a $ give the buyer of his vehicle loan to repair it.â&#x20AC;?

It would be recalled that residents of Uwheru community, in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, recently embarked on a peaceful protest to the headquarters of Benin City Electricity Distributions Company, to appeal to the company to restore power to their community, three years after the entire community was thrown into darkness following a major electrical fault.

as they live in darkness. The bishop disclosed that while he has to spend a fortune to buy petrol for his private generators, he and his people were still being made to pay bills for darkness. The Delta Community is similar to a community in Ekiti State which also staged a peaceful protest to the premises of Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company over their inability to restore power to the community for 11 months. The protesters disclosed that various representations made to the company had yielded no fruits, as power was yet to be restored to the community, which were still been forced to pay bills. Respondents who spoke to Newswatch Times decried the power private electricity distributing companies are wielding against Nigerians. A source, Mr. Barnabas Ananaba, who is a retired civil servant, told Newswatch Times that the various electricity Â&#x2026; " have not treated Nigerian consumers of electricity fairly.

Another trader, Mr. Sunday Abayo, said the choice of N100 which has the portrait of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo was to assuage and placate the southwest in supporting the candidature of President Goodluck Jonathan in his quest for the Presidency in 2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The choice of N100 note that has the portrait of the legend, late Chief Obafemi Awolowo, is to convince the south west people into believing that the President loves them and respects them, but the timing is wrong. This government in a desperate bid to woo the south west was wrongly advised to change the name of University of Lagos to Moshood Abiola University which was widely rejected. Those advising the President seem to be deceiving him about the perception and feelings of the people towards him in terms of policy making,â&#x20AC;? he said. Some equally believed that the new CBN governor needed to append his signature on a bank note which he had not done and so the new N100 bank note
Â&#x2026; * signature will appear. In a statement signed by the CBNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Director, Corporate Communications Department, Ibrahim Muâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;azu, during the unveiling of the new note, explained that the choice of the N100 denomination is to mark the centenary celebration of the country, and also designed to incorporate additional security features for digital communication, protection against counterfeiting, tolerance to the tropics and ease of recognition of genuineness. The new note, according to him, is for the purpose of the centenary celebration and will circulate alongside the existing N100 note which is consistent with best global practices during the celebration of national events. Part of the features of the commemorative banknote according to CBN is the inscription of the theme of the centenary celebration: â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Nigeria, Great Promiseâ&#x20AC;? as a micro-text. While retaining the portrait of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo on the front, the new note features Nigerian traditional dancers at the back. The commemorative note The N 100 note bearing the portrait of 7* in December 1999. According to the CBN, on November 19, the notes were sent to banknote equipment manufacturers and other machine suppliers to enable them adapt to machines and authentication devices, and on the November 26, there will be a

At the backside, the CBN introduced a feature called Quick Response Code (QRC). It is a feature that highlights and sources all the information about the centenary. The QRC is an application found on the smart phone or iPad. Once the barcode on the back of the note is scanned, it shows the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s face, and then comes up with all information on Nigeriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history.

HELLO, YOUNG SCHOLARS! ITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S ANOTHER EDITION OF YOUR KIDDIESâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; WORLD. RELAX AND HAVE A SPLENDID MOMENT WITH ME. YOU ARE WELCOME!
The story of Lightning andThunder I n the old days Thunder and Lightning lived on the earth among all the other people, but the king made them live at the far end of the town, as far as possible from other peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s houses. Thunder was an old mother sheep, and Lightning was her son, a ram. Whenever the ram got angry he used to go about burning houses and knocking down trees. He even did damage on the farms, and sometimes killed people. Whenever Lightning did these things, his mother used to call out to him in a very loud voice to stop in order not to do any more damage; but Lightning did not care the least about what his mother said, and when he was in a bad temper he used to do a very large amount of damage. At last the people could not stand it any longer, and complained to the king. So the king made a
special order that the sheep (Thunder) and her son, the ram (Lightning), should leave the town and live in the far bush. This did not do much good, as when the ram got angry he still burnt the forest, &
spread to the farms and consumed them. So the people complained again, and the king banished both Lightning and Thunder from the earth and made them live in the sky, where they could not cause so much destruction. Ever since, when Lightning is angry, he causes damage as before, but you can hear his mother, the Thunder, rebuking him and telling him to stop. Sometimes, however, when the mother has gone away some distance from her naughty son, you can still see that he is angry and is doing damage, but his motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s voice cannot be heard.

" players who have failed in quality and creativity in the national team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of course, the coach, not players should be held responsible for the failure of the team to qualify the country.
