‘Why Magu met Bank chiefs in Lagos’ Continued from page 1

Ibrahim Magu, met with all the Managing Directors (MDs) of financial institutions operating in the country.

The meeting which lasted for good three hours was borne out of the EFCC effort in ensuring politicians did not use the banks CEOs to launder money, as no country could control illicit financial flows, without the cooperation of financial institutions.

Speaking in Lagos at a round table meeting with the financial institutions MDs, the EFCC boss accused 10 unnamed commercial banks of money laundering, while condemning the increasing wave of illicit financial flows and vote buying in the country.

In our fact findings, The Daily Times discovered that some politicians have concluded all plans to start withdrawing huge illicit money through the commercial banks, and this development is one of the major reasons why the EFCC had to meet with the bank MDs before time.

Also, there is a need to ensure that there is no vote buying during elections, because allowing such fund in the system will definitely encourage inducements during the exercise, and this would prevent credible candidates from running for political offices.

According to the EFCC boss, in Nigeria, vote buying has reached an alarming proportion, to the extent that politicians have now spread their tentacles to election officials, security agencies, election observers and even the media.

The Daily Times, also, discovered that Magu had to meet with banks chiefs before today, so as to let them know that their involvements in money laundering and helping politicians get money out of the system in an election period like this will undermine peace, security, and development in the country.

Speaking with our correspondent in Lagos on Sunday, a supporter of a major

opposition party in the country, who doesn’t want his name in the print, said, “Buhari and EFCC have blocked all avenue for our party’s presidential candidate to bring in money into the country.

“For instance, look at what is happening in Nigeria airports, there is no way our candidate can bring in money from overseas and this is taken toes on us his supporters across the country because the party has failed in its financial promises to most of us.

“I’m at the party meeting, where we expected money to be shared for us in preparation for the presidential candidate on Saturday 16 February, but we are disappointed to hear that the money is not available and will have to wait a bit longer”, he lamented.

Meanwhile, statistics available to the EFCC has shown that out of about 28 commercial banks in Nigeria, 10 banks evacuated out of Nigeria through Travelex Nigeria Limited, the sums of GBP £50,832,560; USD $8,057,756; EURO #39,986,560 and RAND-7,500,000 in 2018.

The EFCC acting chairman, over the weekend, said: “The reasons for these evacuations are still sketchy. We must note that the impact of illicit financial flows from the country undermines the stability and integrity of the financial institutions.”

He expressed concern that the culture of large cash transactions was still being allowed in some banks, adding that there was no commensurate reporting of those transactions to the relevant agencies.

According to him, the banks still operate accounts without Bank Verification Numbers (BVNs), and have remained complacent in reporting those accounts to the relevant authorities, or freezing them in accordance with CBN policy.

“The banks are rather complacent in dealing with crypto-currency or bitcoins as the case may be and have not taken measures to monitor such transactions or put adequate surveillance on such accounts. The banks

are observed to still hold customers’ accounts in their suspense accounts, making it difficult for law enforcement agencies to trace and have access to those funds”, he observed.

According to him, intelligence reports have shown that banks are aiding their customers to receive foreign financial inflow to their accounts in neighbouring countries, where they have branches like Ghana, Republic of Niger and other West African countries.

“The money is then couriered into Nigeria through the land borders to circumvent declaration and reporting,” he stated.

He added that banks had the habit of under-reporting transactions in some cases while carrying out defensive filing of transactions after they had been consummated.

Describing them as “gatekeepers”, Magu said no country could control illicit financial flows without the cooperation of financial institutions.

He, therefore, charged the managing directors to join hands with the Commission to save the country from being hijacked by criminals.

Magu, who spoke on the theme: “Roles and Obligations of Managing Directors of Banks in Nigeria in Curbing Vote Buying During an Election, Illicit Financial Flows and Other Related Matters in Nigeria,” recalled that the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, during a meeting with Bankers’ Committee, sometime in September 2018, made a commitment to work with the EFCC and the banks to curb this menace.

He said illicit financial flows will reduce the amount of resources available to the government to provide critical social services to the citizenry.

In their response, the banks CEOs pledged to be patriotic in the discharge of their responsibilities, as well as ensure that their institutions are not used as conduit pipe to launder money by unscrupulous persons.

Do more to curb banditry, President tells Zamfara monarchs Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has charged traditional rulers in Zamfara State to do more in curbing banditry and kidnapping in their communities, saying that he felt disappointed that people close to some of them were found to have a hand in such criminality.

Speaking at a meeting with the royal fathers in

the Government House, Gusau, the Zamfara State capital, on Sunday, as part of the ongoing campaigns, the President expressed the determination of his administration to defend the country from criminals and insurgents.

“We are determined to defend the nation and its people. We are disappointed with some of the things going on. You are responsible for the security of your neighbourhood.

Being close to your people, you know them. You are still relevant. I am sorry this has extended to some of your families,” he said.

Referring to the deployment of a large number of security personnel to the state, President Buhari said that security is also the business of the traditional rulers, not that of the police and other security agencies alone.

Corruption threatens forthcoming polls – Buhari Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari has raised the alarm that corruption may threaten the forthcoming general elections and even threaten by extension, the nation’s democracy.

The President said that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) had raised concerns over laundered money being funnelled into vote buying, noting that the problem of corruption was large.

Buhari stated this on Sunday in a memo released ahead of the February 16 poll, reiterating that corruption illustrates how it lurks in all and every crevice of public life, manipulating due process in pursuit of selfpreservation and perpetuation; protecting personal political and economic interests at the expense of the common good.

He said: “On February 16th, Nigeria will hold a general election. Four years ago, the country experienced its first democratic transfer of power to the opposition since 1999. The vote in a few days will be no less significant.

“As president, I have tried to judiciously exercise the trust vested in me to combat the problems of corruption, insecurity and an inequitable economy. All are important.

But amongst them, one stands

above the others as both a cause and aggravator of the rest. It is, of course, corruption.

“A policy programme that does not have fighting corruption at its core is destined to fail. The battle against graft must be the base on which we secure the country, build our economy, provide decent infrastructure and educate the next generation.

“This is the challenge of our generation: the variable on which our success as a nation shall be determined. But the vested interests at play can make this fight difficult. By way of their looting, the corrupt have powerful resources at their disposal. And they will use them. For when you fight corruption, you can be sure it will fight back.”

The President said that those who have criticised his administration’s anticorruption drive were those who oppose its mission.

He warned that “though their lawyers may craft expensive alibis, they cannot escape that which binds them together: a raft of documents and barely legal (some clearly illegal) mechanisms – whether that be the Panama Papers, US Congress reports, shell companies or offshore bank accounts.”

President Buhari emphasised that corruption corrodes

the trust on which the idea of community is founded, “because one rule for the few and another for everyone else is unacceptable to anyone working honestly.”

He stated: “But as we have intensified our war on corruption, so we have found that corruption innovates to resist the law. This is not the sole domain of those Nigerians, but the international corruption industry: the unsavoury fellow-traveler of globalisation.

“Once the enablers are let in – as they have been in the past – the greed of those they collude with grows. We have closed the door on them, but unfortunately there still remain individuals who are willing to open windows.

“Concrete progress has been made, but there is still much to do. We have repatriated hundreds of millions of dollars stowed away in foreign banks. These funds have been transparently deployed on infrastructural projects and used to directly empower the poorest in society. More is still to come from our international partners in France, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Yet the hundreds of billions sifted out of the country for the best part of this century promise more.

“We have secured high

PDP in desperate move to launch choreographic fake news - APC Tom Okpe, Abuja The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of planning to launch choreographic ‘Fake News’ on President Buhari and the party on daily basis till the Election Day, February 16.

The campaign group in a press statement on Sunday signed by its Director General, Strategic Communication, Festus Keyamo (SAN), said this move by the opposition party is reminiscent of how the PDP hired Cambridge Analytical in 2015 to scare voters from voting for President Muhammadu Buhari.

He said: “We understand the PDP is at it again a few days to the actual voting day. This time, sources within the heart of the operations of the PDP and security sources have informed us of plans already concluded by the PDP and Alhaji Atiku Abubakar’s campaign team to roll out a series of fake news designed again to scare voters from voting for President Muhammadu Buhari. These

fake news would consist of doctored videos and audio clips and fake news reports from fake news sites.

“Two of such fake news in the series have already been released through their proxies and nameless individuals.

The first is an audio clip of a supposed ‘Nurse’ of President Muhammadu Buhari telling voters that the President is sick and cannot govern for another four years. We understand that a Nigerian girl whose real name is Sandra and who used a fake British accent did the said recording somewhere in Maitama in a house belonging to a PDP chieftain. Security operatives are already on her trail”.

Keyamo said the second fake news released is on the purported death of Leah Sharibu which he described as a “lie from the pit of hell” as the Federal Government’s effort to set her free has reached an advanced stage.

“The other fake news lined up for the next few days by the PDP and Atiku’s handlers would consist of similar doctored audios, videos and fake news with no link to

credible news sites.

“Our advice to the leadership of the PDP is that Nigeria must not burn because of their selfish ambition. Enough damage was done from these kinds of narratives they pushed out in 2015 from which we have not fully recovered till date.

“The election will come and go and Nigeria will remain one united, indivisible entity.

We are shocked that the panic mode of the PDP has gone into overdrive, prompting them to push out such reckless fake news.

“We wish to advise the leadership of the PDP that in order to reduce this type of panic and desperation on their part in 2023, if they survive as a party, they must find something meaningful to do outside government patronage after they lose the 2019 election.

This type of attitude is borne out of hanging around, idle and waiting endlessly for election cycles to try to get back to power to plunder our national resources”, he added.

He advised Nigerians to be on the alert regarding these series of fake news in the next few days.

Buhari

profile convictions, but greater cases remain. Lawyers table endless objections to obstruct court proceedings, whilst their clients hope it lasts until a ‘friendly’ president is voted into office. We must continue to tighten the legal framework and ensure the authorities have the investigative powers at their disposal to secure sentences.

Only then will we begin to neutralise the advantages the corrupt have.”

Buhari disclosed that almost $550 million has been saved from identifying phantom employees, vowing to remove more ghost workers from government payroll.

He also disclosed that since its launch in 2016, the WhistleBlowing policy, $370 million has been returned and more was still to come.

“But, together, we shall prevail over corruption.

“A Yoruba proverb states that only the patient one can milk a lion. Likewise, victory

over corruption is difficult, but not impossible. We must not flounder in our resolve. I know many Nigerians would like to see faster action. So do I. But so too must we follow due process and exercise restraint, ensuring allegation never takes the place of evidence.

For that is not the Nigeria we should wish to build,” the president said.

President Buhari assured that there was no doubt that his administration has changed the way the Nigeria tackles corruption.

He said: “The choice before voters is this: Do we continue forward on this testing path against corruption? Or do revert to the past, resigned to the falsehood that it is just the-way-things-are-done? Or that it is just too difficult – too pervasive – to fix? I know which one I would choose. It is why I am asking Nigerians for another four years to serve them.”

Polls: Acting IGP orders watertight security for INEC offices Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, has ordered a comprehensive watertight and round-the-clock security for all INEC offices and facilities nationwide.

Consequently, all Commissioners of Police in-charge of State Police Commands in the 36 states of the Federation and FCT have been directed to put in place adequate, functional and purposeful security arrangements for the purpose.

They are to ensure that all INEC offices and materials and personnel are protected from all forms of crimes and mischief before, during and after the elections.

The Zonal Assistant Inspectors General of Police (AIGs) have also been mandated to monitor compliance at all level of Commands under their jurisdiction.

They are also to ensure that no breach of security of any kind occurs within and around INEC facilities under their watch. The order takes immediate effect.

Meanwhile, the acting Inspector General of Police has assured Nigerians of the readiness of the Nigeria Police Force to deliver on its mandate of providing a safe and enabling environment for the conduct of the general election.

He reiterated the commitment of the Force to providing a level playing field for all political actors, while remaining professional and apolitical in the discharge of its responsibilities.

Obiano earmarks N3.58bn for community development projects Nkiru Nwagbo, Awka

Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra State has set aside N3.58 billion for the commencement of the third phase of the N20 million CommunityC h o o s e - Yo u r - P r o j e c t Initiative.

Obiano said each of the one hundred and seventynine communities in the state would have N20 million each for projects unanimously decided by the communities to be sited in their respective domain.

In a statement signed by his Commissioner for Information and Public Enlightenment, Mr. C. Don Adinuba, on Sunday, the Governor noted that communities yet to complete the second phase of the community development initiate will however not participate in the third phase as government observed that only seventy-eight communities have completed the second phase and ready to start new development projects in the third phase.

Adinuba maintained that it was regrettable that about 50 percent of communities were yet to finish the second phase

on account of mostly communal politics and squabbles, pointing out that internal politics and squabbles were slowing down the progress of not only the affected communities but also the entire state.

The Commissioner stressed that the Anambra State government was in a hurry to develop all communities in the state thereby appealing to all Presidents General, Ndi Igwe and other stakeholders in the communities to ensure that their communities were not left behind in his community development drive.

The state government therefore called upon warring communities to resolve their problems immediately and complete the second phase of the CommunityC h o o s e - Yo u r - P r o j e c t Initiative.

It further explained that the people and government of Anambra State were proud of this initiative which had brought concrete development to every community even as it informed that the initiative has been copied by some other states in the country.

The Community-

Obiano

C h o o s e - Yo u r - P r o j e c t Initiative was an unprecedented development strategy by the Anambra State Government through which each of the one hundred and seventynine communities in the state select a project government would execute in the area worth N20m.

The community chooses the contractor who must come from the area while government provides the resources, adding that communities have chosen libraries, civic centres, health

centres, markets, water boreholes and a host of other projects for rapid development of the area.

The aforementioned strategy has earned eulogies from researchers and development experts as a perfect example of the bottom-top approach to development which was recommended in the democratic setting, as opposed to the traditional top-down style which sees top government officials decide projects for communities without finding out the felt-needs of the communities.

Bill Clinton to deliver keynote at the signing of National Peace Accord Tunde Opalana, Abuja The 42nd President of the United States of America, Bill Clinton, is expected to deliver the keynote address at the second signing of National Peace Accord by presidential candidates of leading political parties ahead of Saturday Presidential election.

To this end, Mr. Clinton and Baroness Patricia Scotland, Secretary General of the Commonwealth, on the invitation of the National Peace Committee, will visit Nigeria from 12 to 13 February 2019.

According to a statement by Fr. Atta Barkindo, Head of Secretariat, National Peace Committee, the

Committee being mindful of the importance of peaceful elections and non-violent transfer of power has engaged various stakeholders in preparation for the 2019 General Election.

Both President Clinton and Baroness Scotland will deliver goodwill messages at the signing ceremony of the “National Peace Accord”, which will hold at Abuja International Conference Centre on 13 February.

He said President Clinton would also hold meetings with President Muhammadu Buhari and former VicePresident of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar.

“As we move into Nigeria’s national elections, the threat of unrest has to be taken

seriously.

“Both Guests of Honour enjoy enormous respect in Nigeria and beyond and we look forward to his counsel and advice to help Nigeria navigate through what will hopefully be a peaceful and fair electoral cycle.

“The National Peace Committee is grateful to the Kofi Annan Foundation for supporting this process, and, after 2015, again supporting free and fair elections in Nigeria”, he said.

Fr. Barkindo also noted that the Committee has engaged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security services, 91 registered parties, the media and civil

society organisations.

Considering some of the challenges faced, the Committee organised the 1st signing of the National Peace Accord on 11th December, 2018 to support peaceful campaigns and political rallies.

“Following from this, the Committee, led by former Nigerian Head of State, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, has organised the 2nd signing of the National Peace Accord.

“This signing is aimed towards committing stakeholders to accepting the outcome of the vote, as long as it is announced

by INEC, the body empowered by law and is adjudged to be free, fair and credible”, he said.

Do more to curb banditry, Buhari tells Zamfara monarchs Continued from page 3 “More security is not good news, but we must do something to secure our environment,” he noted.

The President commended the gallantry of the security agencies in battling kidnapping and banditry, saying “you know what we have achieved. You had one who styled himself as Buharin Daji, the Buhari of the forests, claiming to be in-charge and not I at the centre. He is no more, and by my surviving him, you now know who is stronger.”

Buhari said he was contesting this election as his fifth and the last, because as he noted, “a second term is what the constitution allows, and I will not abuse the constitution.”

He thanked the royal fathers for the support he enjoyed so far and appealed to them to back his re-

election.

The Chairman of the council of traditional rulers and Emir of Anka, Alhaji Attahiru Ahmed and the Governor, Alhaji Abdulaziz Yari Abubakar, praised the efforts of the President in changing the unwanted security situation in the state.

According to the governor, “From the presence of an ammunition depot manned by just 30 men when you took office in 2015, Zamfara State today boasts of the presence of 4,700 combined security personnel who are assisted by 8,500 State Joint Task Force, SJTF members. We also have the 223 Battalion, the 607 Quick Response Battalion and the 1 Brigade in Gusau.”

The council of traditional rulers also endorsed President Buhari’s bid for a second term.

Elections: INEC expresses confidence in card readers The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has expressed confidence in the performance of the Smart Card Readers to be used at the forthcoming general elections.

INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr. Festus Okoye, expressed the confidence in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Sunday in Abuja.

Okoye confirmed that the card readers had been enhanced for better performance.

He added that the commission did not expect the card readers to malfunction.

“The batteries of the enhanced card readers can last longer now. The window of the smart card reader is wider and can read fingerprints better now.

Okoye

“We have upgraded the smart card readers and the ones to be used for the election are smart card readers that can perform very well.

So, we do not envisage the issue of malfunction.

It will be reduced to the barest minimum.

“The issue of card readers unable to read peoples biometrics will be reduced to the barest minimum,” Okoye said.

The national commissioner said that the commission had required qualities as well as quantity to conduct the nationwide elections.

“What we did was to make up for short falls. Additional cards readers that we wanted have already arrived the country and have been distributed to all the states.

“So we don’t have challenge to the quality of smart card readers that would be used for these elections,” he said.

You can’t stop us from holding Abuja mega rally Challenges Buhari, APC Says denial is last kick off dying horse

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party Presidential Campaign Organisation (PPCO) has vowed that no forces including President Muhammadu Buhari and his ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) can stop it from holding a mega rally for its candidate, Atiku Abubakar in Abuja before Saturday election.

This followed the denial by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) access to use the Old Parade Ground for the mega rally campaign of Atiku Abubakar last Saturday.

The party accused the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled Federal Government of influencing the denial of Atiku Abubakar the use of the already approved venue for his scheduled Presidential campaign mega rally.

It consequently described the move by the APC as part of the last kicks of a dying horse, which the Buhari Presidency represents.

The party also considered it as part of the plot by “the frustrated President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC to drag the PDP and the people’s candidate to their low level of frustration in order to enmesh

the coming election into crisis so as to achieve their self-succession bid”.

Subsequent to a press conference addressed on Saturday by the party spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, the PDP called global attention to this latest assault against Atiku saying it was borne out of direct ill-will and hatred against him

by President Muhammadu Buhari as well as his handlers, who have sought all ways to drag him down, since they realized that Nigerians have reached a consensus on Atiku Abubakar, as the next President of the country.

The party indicated that the Old Parade Ground is a public property to which every Nigerian irrespective of political or religious affiliation must have access upon satisfactorily fulfilling all requirements for its usage.

Ologbodiyan who is the Director, Media & Publicity of PPCO said the PDP paid a sum of One Millionbaura (N1,000,000) into a Zenith Bank account of the FCTA on 6th January, 2019 upon which a receipt was issued.

He said it came as a surprise when the management of the FCTA wanted to refund the money paid on the pretext that the venue would no longer be available for the said rally on the ‘order from above’.

“It is wrong for anybody to deny us the use of the venue. If government insisted, the PDP will hold its rally in Abuja and nothing will happen. Nobody can stop us from holding the rally. We will hold the rally and the whole world will hear us.

“In any case, let it be known to President Buhari and the APC that the PDP and the people’s candidate will definitely hold our Presidential mega rally in Abuja irrespective of any further encumbrance they may attempt to foist. Nigeria belongs to all of us and nobody can stop us from exercising our constitutionally guaranteed right of holding our rally in the FCT or any other part of our country for that matter”, he said .

He, however, said the party will not be violent in claiming its right to assemble.

“If PDP had been a violent party, we would have headed straight for the Old Parade Ground last Saturday”, he said while he expressed optimism that the Abuja rally will surely hold before Presidential poll on Saturday.

Speaking further, he said “the PDP is a party of peace and it has demonstrated that.

In 2015, our candidate lost the presidential election. He did not only accept defeat but went ahead to congratulate the winner which, the incumbent President Buhari”.

Short News Kebbi INEC parleys NCWS on voters’ sensitisation Haruna Aliyu Usman, Birnin Kebbi The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Kebbi State in collaboration with National Council of Women Society (NCWS), Kebbi chapter held a town hall meeting in Birnin Kebbi, with the theme gender focused civil societies.

Over 100 women drawn from the 20 local governments participated in the interactive session that was geared towards sensitising women on the 2019 elections.

The organisers of the meeting, Resident Electoral Commissioner of the state represented by the Administrative Secretary, Abdullahi Adamu Gujungu told women that the electoral body has changed its voting system to ease suffering for women during elections.

He said that accreditation and voting take place simultaneously, adding that provisions have been made for the physically challenged persons.

He noted that as part of the preparations INEC have held meetings with traditional rulers, also met and trained security personnel on the conduct of the elections, therefore women should come out enmass to cast ballots he urged them to avoid invalid votes by voting properly.

The head of department, Voter Education Unit of the Commission, Alhaji Musa Auna called on women to avoid the use of henna before elections as it will not allow the card reader to recognise their thumbprint.

Buhari sends condolence team to Taraba’s victims’ family, says they won’t die in vain Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has despatched a team to Jalingo, Taraba State, to condole with the government and people of the state over loss of lives that attended the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential rally last week.

The team, led by Mr Boss Gida Mustapha, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), included Governor of Adamawa (a neighbouring state to Taraba) Senator Mohammed Umaru Jibrilla (Bindow); Senator Ali Ndume; Mallam Mohammed Bello, Minister of Federal Capital Territory (FCT); Dr Ali Isa Pantami, Director-General of National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA); and Mr Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity.

Senior Special Adviser to the President, Femi Adesina on Sunday, stated that Senator Yusuf A. Yusuf, a Taraba stakeholder, was also joined the team.

At the Taraba Government House, where the team was received by Governor Darius Ishaku, Mr Boss Mustapha, speaking on behalf of the President, lamented the sad loss of eight people during and after the rally, promising that they would not die in vain.

“President Buhari will continue to focus on public good and welfare of the people. The eight people would then not have died in vain,” the SGF said.

5 feared dead, 8 injured as tanker fire razes 23 shops 9 vehicles in Anambra Nkiru Nwagbo, Awka

Abia State First Lady, Mrs. Nkechi Okezie Ikpeazu, (l) receiving international humanitarian service award, tagged, ‘Distinguished International Service Award’, from Rotary International District 9142 in Umuhia.

Election: 30 governorship candidates ready to endorse Ekere in A’ Ibom Isaac Job, Uyo There were indications at the weekend that a coalition of candidates of 30 different political parties in Akwa Ibom have perfected their arrangements to surrender political structures for the success of the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Obong Nsima Ekere in next month general election.

Our correspondent gathered that few hours after signing necessary peace accord documents at a ceremony organised

by Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) held at Ibom hall last week, 30 of the candidates who signed the accord have resolved to drop their ambition and back the APC candidate.

Sources privy to a midnight meeting held by 25 of the 30 governorship

candidates willing to abandon their candidacies at an undisclosed resident of one of the candidates at Ewet Housing Estate, Uyo, disclosed that the candidates have agreed to throw their weight behind Ekere.

The source who preferred anonymity, said, “I was in the meeting last night. We have not resolved. We are on the move to adopt him as our sole candidate for the upcoming governorship election in state.

“The problem now is lobbying the millions of our followers to see reasons with us the candidates on why they should move with us to the new political direction.

It is not easy convincing to move with us.

We are perfecting modalities to protect their aspirations in this arrangement.”

Further investigation revealed that the governorship candidate of Democratic Alternative (AD) in Akwa Ibom, Mr Johnson Attah was elected as the

organising secretary for the coalition which would be brokered before the election.

“Ekere’s manifesto and blueprint for the State which appropriately capture the desire and aspirations of the people of the state have informed their resolve to pitch tent with the candidate of the APC”.

A lady who identified herself as a woman leader of one of the political parties said, “You see this election, Akpabio will rubbish Udom and entire PDP. Look, the man (Akpabio) is like a good striker who would rather cause a penalty instead of losing one on one with goal keeper. “So the earlier we pitch our tent with the man that will win this election (Ekere), the better for all of us.

“We should swallow our pride and support Obong Nsima Ekere because it is crystal clear that all odds favour him in the forthcoming election”.

About five persons have died, eight persons injured when a tanker carrying petroleum products lost control and rammed into the Amawbia round about of Anambra state and crashed.

As at the time of this report a team of fire fighters were still battling to put off the fire while more buildings are still being burnt.

Also affected is the premises of the Anambra state Fire Service as well as the security post of the Anambra state Governor’s lodge in Amawbia.

An eye withness account has it that the forty feet tanker carrying desel cruised from Amawbia by pass and tried to negotiate the roundabout connecting the Zik avenue when it fell down and it ignitied fire.

At the scene also officers and men of Anambra police command were deployed to ensure that hoodlums do not capitalize on the situation to loot people’s property Speaking with reporters yesterday the leader of the Hausa community in Amawbia whose subjects were badly affected by the fire Alhaji Mamood Sani confirmed that five of his subjects die in the fire while one person is missing.

Atunwa will be Kwara’s next Governor, says Emir of Lafiagi Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin The Emir of Lafiagi, Alh Haliru Kawu Sa’a du, yesterday declared that the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP), Hon. Razak Atunwa will be the next Governor of Kwara state.

The frontline monarch made the declaration in his palace when the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki led the PDP campaign train to Lafiagi, Edu local government area in the northern part of the state.

He offered special prayers for Atunwa and Saraki, assuring them of the total support of his subjects.

Sa’ad held the Senate President’s hand for about five minutes praying for him.

Recalling the age long alliance between Lafiagi and Ilorin Emirate, the Emir vowed not to break the historical accord, emphasising that his domain will remain ally of Ilorin emirate and its desires.

He declared: “Never in our life shall we turn our back against Ilorin. Atunwa will be the next governor of the state.”

He thereafter asked the PDP governorship candidate to step forward and offered special prayers for him, reciting some verses from the holy Qur’an.

Earlier, the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, had poured encomiums on Emir Sa’adu, thanking him for his guidance when he was the Governor of Kwara state.

Afenifere, Ohaneze, PANDEF and imminent waterloo

Emmanuel Umohinyang

That men irrespective of background and status have short memories is a statement of fact, generation after generation.

That is why, time and time again, we are daily inundated with tales of people who refuse to learn from history, most times for pecuniary benefits.

Curiously, some of these elements have more than enough resources to take care of their ostentatious lifestyle and that of their unborn generation.

In the case of Nigeria, the giant of Africa, the elite in particular take advantage of their status in the society to hoodwink the people, most of whom are illiterates and poor.

These elites most times use ethnic and religious baits to fool the people under the guise of fighting for the rights of such people, while some of them have turned themselves into professional agitators, administration after administration.

Though they most often operate under the umbrella of ethnic and religious organizations and pretend to be apolitical, the truth is that they are captains of politics of the stomach!.

Whether under the Military or Civilian regime, their target is one and the same - to get those in authority to dispense patronage to them and their cronies, not minding the source.

That was why it was not surprising that retired Colonel Hamza Al – Mustapha, former chief security officer (CSO) to former head of state; Gen. Sani Abacha accused some elites of receiving patronage from the Abacha regime in the name of June 12.

He specifically accused Afenifere leaders of benefiting from that regime, while pretending to be

negotiating the release of the winner of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election Basorun Mikio Abiola.

So strong was Afenifere during that era that the group was revered beyond the shores of the country, while its members were the leading lights of the National Democratic Coalition (NADECO), which played a prominent role during the period.

It was this larger – than – life image of Afenifere/ NADECO that made former Head of State, Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar who succeeded Abacha to reach out to the group as part of measures to move the country forward. That was then.

Years after, it is rather sad that some elements within the socio cultural organization in league with similar elements have abandoned the noble cause they once fought for, when one looks back today.

That is why one cannot dismiss the allegations leveled against these leaders, by the retired Army Colonel.

Even in 2015, Afenifere, PANDEF, Middle Belt forum and Nothern Elders Forum were in the lead when Former President Goodluck Jonathan was desperately seeking re – election.

The plank of the endorsement was that they were out to support Jonathan because of his hurriedly – put – together national conference, which gulped a colossal part of our resources, at a t time the economy was almost grinding to a halt.

But Nigerians saw through the script because they knew that idea was not Jonathan’s as he had pointedly told the world that holding the conference may lead to the balkanization of Nigeria.

It was during the same period that the media

was awash with tales of how million of Dollars meant for arms procurement was been used to buy endorsements across the country by the former President.

This was at a time even Jonathan could barely attend public functions as Boko Haram had virtually taken over Abuja, where it brought down the United Nations (UN) building and bombed the heart of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

It was therefore unsurprising that in unison, Nigerians voted out former President Jonathan, paving way for President Muhammadu Buhari’s emergence.

Four years down the line, a repeat of part of what we saw in 2015 is playing out before our very eyes, with yet another bizarre endorsement of former Vice president Atiku Abubakar of the PDP. Few days ago, some factions of Afenifere, NEF, PANDEF, Ohaneze Ndibgo and MBF gathered in Abuja to endorse Atiku for President in the coming poll.

Looking at those who were at the event, one cannot but remember that these were the same elements who endorsed Johnathan in 2015.

The good thing however is that many of those who belong to these groups have been crying foul over the act as they were not contacted before the endorsement.

Even the Ohaneze Ndigbo is under fire from its Secretary – General and Governor Willie Obiano of Anambra state over Atiku’s endorsement.

Even when these groups were not in tatters and not as presently constituted, they got serious whipping from Buhari, who is undoubtedly the most accepted politician in our recent history.

The icing on the cake today is that the President has even become more popular among Nigerians with his myriad of achievements in critical sectors, including economy, security, fighting corruption and infrastructure.

Everywhere he goes, he never fails to flaunt his achievements in railways, upgrading of airports, agriculture, and empowerment of the poorest of the poor through Trader moni, market moni, N-Power etc.

For his opponents, their agenda, according to them is to sell our national assets, including the NNPC to their friends and grant amnesty to looters of our national treasury.

As the coming polls gradually approach, the choice of where Nigerians are headed is surely clear, as we cannot afford to go back to Egypt. This is because Buhari has proved beyond reasonable doubt that he has the credibility and political will to take Nigerians to where we deserve to be in the comity of nations.

Therefore a million endorsements by some traders masquerading as opinion leaders cannot overshadow the Nigerian spirit which is globally acclaimed as a major positive attribute which brings out the best in Nigerians, even in very critical moments would definitely be at play on February 16, 2019, when we all go out to elect our president.

Even without endorsements, President Buhari is surely on his way to another land slide victory, as our recent experience has shown that endorsements don’t win elections. If it does, Former president Jonathan would have won in 2015.

Atiku and el-Rufai’s body bag nationalism

Festus Adedayo

What could have prompted Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai to make such very volatile comment attributed to him on a Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) interview programme last week?

Could it be due to a boldness acquired over the years in the uncharted field of Nigerian politics? Could the governor, famous for his brutal deployment of words and blood-soaked imageries, be weaving a tapestry whose end no one can claim to know? Was he using that grisly image of body bags to illustrate the innumerable number of the dead we have buried as a country in the last three years?

Knowing fully well that he is one of the lickspittles of President Muhammadu Buhari’s All Progressive Congress, (APC) was el-Rufai on an assignment like a typical insurgents’ errand boy who, strapping a detonating device round his body, lets loose his fuse, caring less if the fierce bomb tears him into mounds of flesh in the process? Simply put, was El-Rufai on an assignment to bite the bullet for the APC? Or, was he a mirror of the political frustration of the government in power about the likely result of the presidential election that will take place this Saturday?

Curious and curious still. No one can claim to understand what drove the governor of Kaduna State that Tuesday, or what he was driving at. It is becoming curious by the day why el-Rufai chose that frightening path and what emboldened him.

I have heard people make allusions to blood being a dominant imagery of heroism in his part of the country; how Sir Ahmadu Bello made similar reference to blood spillage, in an interview with a BBC reporter in the early 1960s if Nigeria didn’t assimilate the tenets of Islam. The most recent inference to blood and cadavers was from Muhammadu Buhari, then a presidential aspirant, who had invoked the spirits of baboon and dogs if the election was not in his favour.

Speaking in 2012 in Kaduna as presidential candidate of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) while addressing delegates from Niger State who had come to pay him a courtesy call, Buhari had warned that if election was rigged in 2015, there would be massive spillage of blood. “If what happened in 2011 (alleged election rigging) should again happen in 2015, by the grace of God, the dog and the baboon would all be soaked in blood,” Buhari had boasted.

At the NTA interview, el-Rufai too had warned foreign governments not to intervene in the forthcoming elections, submitting that anyone who does that would go back to their country in body bags. “We are waiting for the person who will come and intervene,” he had begun. “They will go back in body bags because nobody will come to Nigeria and tell us how to run our country.” Confronted by the widespread conflagration that was provoked by that unguarded statement, the short-statured governor, a few hours after the statement, attempted to beat a retreat by escaping into the blankets of semantics and diatribes. He riled at imaginary literally-challenged persons who didn’t understand the drift of his English. “Any fair-minded person with modest familiarity with the English language and unimpaired comprehension can understand it…

What it is is a powerful defence of sovereignty…” he had said.

Now, my confession: Sentence upon sentence as I write this, I struggled not to call that riposte by el-Rufai idiotic, or better still, the intent behind the

rebuttal a manifestation of gross idiocy. God forbid that I should use such strong word on the governor of a Nigerian state. In degree, el-Rufai’s rebuttal even carries more thoughtlessness than the actual accident of tongue that birthed the body bag statement. First, the word “body bag” would make any normal human being but el-Rufai shrink and shudder. Not sure of the mode of their earthly passage, mere mention of death or its agencies makes any human being go sober, even if momentarily. It is a reminder of Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart’s rendition of the Igbo wise-saying that an old woman feels uneasy when dried bones are mentioned in a proverb. Body bag is a solemn evocation of the gory picture of brutal cutting down of persons in their prime by military juntas; an imagery of a field of blood and mindless slaughter. It is a replication of the 2012 Buhari call to anarchy and self-help. For a governor of a Nigerian state to now attempt to cloak that blood-soaked imagery in the shawl of nationalism and parceling the blood curdling imagery in a pouch of sovereignty is the unkindest cut of all. It reminds one of Adolf Hitler lifting up the flag of German nationalism by promoting his Aryan race while, behind the veneer of the flag, lay the blood-wet body bags of 17 million Jews slaughtered in the dinghies and streets of Europe.

This brings me to a very critical intersection in the analysis of that el-Rufai body bag statement. No one can claim not to know Nasir as a certified bootlicker of power. He grovels before powerful men like ants cling round the pee of a diabetic. He is a fawner of office, deploying his miniature stature to meander past contours of power like a salamander slithers past the contour of darkness. As I asked earlier, could elRufai be reflecting a manifest apprehension and fear?

The feelers for the Buhari government from saner countries across the globe are very ominous. In 2015, these same countries gave ostensible support to him, in clear abandonment of Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

The European Union, while reacting to el-Rufai’s body bag misadventure, had said: “We are aware of the comments by the Governor of Kaduna about non-interference by foreigners during a talk show on the elections Tuesday February 5. The EU only deploys an election observation mission when it is invited to do so by the authorities of a country…

While the security of EU observers is of paramount importance, and will remain under constant review, EU observers will continue their work across the country in the run-up to – and beyond – the 16 February election”The US’ comment was similarly not defrosted of the usual diplomatese as it warned Nigerian political leaders of severe sanctions if they make inciting comments. Apparently delivering his country’s take on el-Rufai’s absurd tongue troubadour, its ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, had warned Nigerians not to be deceived by politicians who issue illegal directives in the name of President Buhari. “If anybody asks you to do something that is not right and says the boss wants you to do it, or the person at the top wants you to do it, don’t believe him; because the person at the top is saying, and I think honestly saying, they want to win a fair election. There is a reason not to believe them, because we all know that citizens are responsible for their own actions,” the envoy said.

Shunned of its ostensible diplomatese,

sources say that the Buhari government had been apprised of cogent evidence of the international community’s backtrack from supporting it and the el-Rufai statement was an assignment on the Federal Government’s behalf to warn world powers that it could relapse into the Sani Abacha defiance of the west and the rest of the world if they continue on their path of stymying support for Muhammadu Buhari’s re-election. The international community, privy to the inner workings of the Buhari government, was said to have seen through the veneer of government’s claim to anti-corruption fight and has incontrovertible evidence that the Buhari government was no better than the one it ousted. There is a very strong claim that many foreign governments are in support of Atiku Abubakar. El-Rufai was thus a mere Man Friday who had embarked on the assignment of biting the bullet for the Buhari government.

Like el-Rufai however, every Nigerian should be apprehensive of what fate will befall Nigeria this weekend. Last week, I critiqued my standpoint and that of Professor Wole Soyinka on where Nigerians should migrate electorally this weekend. I took pains to unclothe my suspicion that where the Nobel laureate publicly claims to belong may actually be a covert ploy to populate where not many people know he belongs. Innumerable times, I have acquainted Nigerians with how none of the two dominant Nigerian electoral theses, one of which is likely to gain ascendancy this Saturday, is desirable for Nigeria. To be specific, I acquainted Nigerians with my personal belief that neither Atiku Abubakar nor Muhammadu Buhari is good enough to pilot Nigeria further at this critical point. Some people have labeled this standpoint defeatist, escapist and pacifist as even the dumbest watcher of Nigerian polls knows that one of the two above will certainly carry the day on Saturday. For the last time before the election, reasons for my standpoint deserve restatement. In doing this, I do intend to deploy what philosophers call deductive reasoning to arrive at what, in my opinion, is desirable for Nigeria. And I state it under-leaf: My first premise is to state that, for a country that needs a personal example in leadership, especially with the level of rot in the polity, Muhammadu Buhari, is comparatively the most desirable leader that Nigeria needs. If you check his antecedents, especially his near-ascetic disposition, you cannot compare his uprightness with any Nigerian leader, dead or living. He came into power vowing to confront the incubus of corruption, security, economy and install good governance. My take however, about four years down the ladder, is that he has failed woefully on all the scores.

Flowing from the above, my second premise is that, since 2015 when he became president, Buhari has critically injured the moral thesis above in many very critical ways. One is through his health, which is however due to no fault of his. Today, what we have in Buhari is a mere specimen, going by his recent disgraceful interventions in the public.

Health-wise, no sane country should parade that effigy currently on display as its leader. In saner countries, the system will not allow a man of that level of mental grasp and health situation to go for an election; it will adopt political euthanasia

to get rid of him from the list of the contestants; or else it will be accused of attempted murder. What that means is that, a vote for him would be an opportunity for some faceless vermin to continue to suck Nigeria’s blood endlessly.

Second critical prong of my belief that Buhari is a No No for Nigeria is his irredeemable nepotism.

For a country as diverse and vast as Nigeria, an ethnically biased leader of Buhari’s hew can unwittingly fire the salvo of a civil war. Third is that, unless as a propaganda weapon, corruption cells are multiplying in the corridors of power under Buhari, far more than ever. He flourishes in publicly advertising a war where none exists, whereas what his government does to corruption is to daily have an incestuous affair with it. Except for some shows labeled corruption flagellation, as confirmed

by Transparency International itself recently, the cancerous cells of corruption bequeathed

by Jonathan have wriggled themselves into the marrows of Nigeria, with a rapacious finish almost unknown in the history of this country. If you doubt, check Femi Falana’s recent revelation of the criminal diversion of funds by the Buhari government through the Combined Expatriate Residence Permit and Alien Card (CERPAC). This is just a miniature of the rot and Buhari doesn’t seem to know nor is he abreast of, nor seized of any response to it.

The only score that we should fear in Atiku Abubakar is his pedigree and disposition towards corruption. It is indeed a cause for worry. But, if you place a leader who peremptorily mouths anti-corruption like Buhari but who, in reality, is surrounded by Rottweiler and sharks baying for blood, for whom national budget is comparable to fresh flesh and sweet-smelling blood, side by side an Atiku who will most probably come into office to prove his mettle, especially about widespread belief of his favourable disposition to corruption, my personal opinion is that the second option will be most desirable for a people like Nigeria. If we have a president with high mental presence, grasp of the economic challenges at issue and a hunger to make a difference, we will be on our journey to a new country.

The above clearly points to a Hobson’s choice for Nigeria this Saturday. Leaders like Soyinka should have roused the nation up to a Third Force before now, so that we would not be in this kind of bind of having to choose between the devil and the deep blue sea as we match to the polls on Saturday.

Buhari is unarguably a No No for anyone who is not consumed by the potential benefits accruable from political party alliance and filthy lucre derivable from his support. This is not because Buhari is not a comparatively desirable personal moral beacon but because he is too immorally locked in horns in dalliance with immoral corruption kingpins who are the pall that a potentially great Nigeria carries on this interminable journey to sanity. The Buhari moral blade advertised in 2015 is dead. Can you imagine an anti-corruption persuaded president lifting up the hands of Abubakar Ganduje, in spite of global recrimination against his alleged corruption?

All things considered, Buhari is undesirable for Nigeria at this critical juncture. In this dilemma, I will grudgingly but surely seek out Atiku Abubakar from the ballot paper.

Editorial Commentary National Sovereignty: Garlands for Nigerian military

Times Guest Columnist Emeka Nwankpa

Reports of 13 soldiers and two police personnel killed on Christmas-eve while fighting through a Boko Haram ambush on DamaturuMaiduguri Road was sad. More worrisome is that there were no condolences. This calls for serious concern. Can the rest of the country carry on like this? Where is our support to our gallant fighters dying in action?

I find this pattern of attitude very worrisome because we are all involved. The undisguised fact is that we are in a state of war and things do happen in war. When those who willingly enlist to secure us fall in battle, we should feel something in us is gone.

On September 7, 2018, three soldiers attached to Operation Safe Haven died as renewed tension escalated in Plateau State. In March this year, eleven young freshly-trained soldiers deployed to Kaduna State as Special Forces against banditry in Birnin Gwari were murdered in ambush.

In developed climes, citizens will adorn emblematic black arm-bands in a show of solidarity with the bereaved whose loved ones died to see secure us. I am yet to see such in our country. Even when our politicians issue condolence messages, it is politicking writ large.

Information handlers of the Nigerian military are currently engaged in a complex multi-task matrix of managing the psychology of troops and the grief of bereaved families in the midst of aloofness of many Nigerians. This is not to talk of their pain in fighting off Boko Haram’s cyber propaganda and the inimical pressures of irritants like Amnesty International and NGOs masquerading as human rights crusaders. I love my country.

Yes, Nigeria is not where it should be but it has definitely progressed. In 2015 shortly before the elections that removed former President Goodluck Jonathan, a remarkable push-back against Boko Haram was made and continues to be made in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States, the theatre of war.

In Borno State, for example, where 27 LGAs were under Boko Haram, the military has turned the tide manifested in key indicators such as the restoration of governmental authority, the return of thousands of rescued hostages to their ancestral roots, reopening of inter-state roads and the revival of socioeconomic activities.

The fight against terrorism since President Muhammadu Buhari’s anti-terror fight May 2015 is phenomenal, courtesy of the resilient service chiefs led by the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Gen. Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin driving on a synergydriven leadership to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen Tukur Buratai, Chief of the Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Ibok Ekwe Ibas, the Chief of the Air Staff, Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar.

Our soldiers, standing or fallen, past or present, are the true national heroes of our time as we all file out on January 15, 2019 for the Armed Force Day Celebration. There is no doubt about their resolve to secure and stabilize the nation. The North East could have been lost to Boko Haram.

Regrettably, Boko Haram’s propaganda has dictated a deadly narrative to divide unsuspecting Nigerians along ethnic, regional, religious and political lines as many see the anti-terror fight as a military affair. This is perhaps why the media reports terrorists’ activities as though they were a State thereby giving it a larger-than-life status.

Boko Haram has enjoyed the oxygen of free

publicity.

A mistaken perception is that the war is unduly prolonged. Mindful that it takes a minimum of 20 years to defeat terrorism, this mindset is a fallout of the war of narrative which again raises the need for more public support to the defence forces to eliminate the remnant of the terrorists. It takes a nation backing its military to win a war. Our troops sacked Camp Zairo and Camp S (Shape) headquarters of the sect in dreaded Sambisa Forest on December 22, 2016. They can do more.

Such national consensus oils the chemistry of modern warfare. In 2011, Americans backed their military and security forces to take Osama Bin Laden down. Our military has the spirit and soul to do same but Nigerians need to realise that we are in war. The citizen responsibility should increase.

Nigerians should voluntarily volunteer vital, timely and credible information to security services to promote national security.

Never in the history of the nation have the military and our security forces been engaged in so many internal security operations as they are now. Yet, our forces have curtailed insurgency in the North East while combating kidnapping, cattle rustling, farmers-herdsmen clashes, pipeline vandalism, oil robbery, illegal bunkering, ritual killing, cultism, etc elsewhere across the country.

Depending on the fallout of the ongoing political campaigns, the stakes may go higher. They have aided civil authority to restore law and order across the country. There is a steady decimation of Boko Haram. The Nigerian Air Force has deployed height advantage and the Mi35 fighter jets to frustrate the terrorists and other bandits.

Today, normalcy has returned to parts of the North East considering past insurgency experiences. Night life has returned to Maiduguri and its environs. Regular commercial flights into the city have increased. Hotel accommodation in Maiduguri today is scarce which proves that the Nigerian military has significantly fast-tracked the return of peace to the region. The nation owes them a debt of gratitude.

Our military had always done very well in United Nations peace-keeping operations. Our military literally took Gambia’s democracy from the precipice after the chaos that greeted its last presidential elections.

Concerns are being raised over the lingering war on terror. We should remind them that terrorism runs on many legs including indoctrination. As part of his brilliant multi-pronged approach to the war, the CDS created a military facility called Operation Safe Corridor in Gombe where it deradicalizes and rehabilitates repentant Boko Haram combatants and re-integrates them into the society.

Over a thousand have benefitted.

The Nigerian military has effectively quelled armed conflicts in aid of the civil police in the country. Gen. Olonisakin and the service chiefs, the armed forces have earned considerable global respect in their determined effort to make a difference.

Nigeria’s counter-terrorism strategy is a subject of deep study and robust discourse in top military quarters across the world which, for example, prompted a visit, not long ago, of a high-powered group from the prestigious U.K Royal College of Defence Studies led by Maj. Gen Lawrence Craig to Defence Headquarters in Abuja.

OUR POSITION

Security agencies and forthcoming polls If there is anything reassuring that the schedule February 16 Presidential, National Assembly elections and March 2, 2019 Governorship and Houses of Assemblies elections would be hitch free, it is the assurance given by the military last Thursday that it would be neutral, standing impartial during and after the elections.

The assurance is coming towards the end of election campaigns and rallies that have pitched the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the major opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to an epic battle that seem to put the populace and the military on the edge.

No doubt, allegations of illegal arms importations and the seizure of unlawful police uniform and military accoutrements had heightened the political tension, fueling the erroneous sense of insecurity. This, we believe, reinforced the need for the military to remain neutral in the forthcoming elections.

Besides, this year’s general election provides a unique opportunity for the electorate to exercise their inalienable right to choose their representatives and the President who the military must subordinate to in compliance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended.

Military neutrality in an election of this nature therefore will not only enhance its cohesion generally, but place it in a better position and strength to quell crisis in the event of any during the elections.

Most importantly, the military remains the unwavering pillar of our strength as a nation which should not be toyed with by political class for personal gains at the expense of our peace and unity.

We commend the bold steps taken by the military in alerting the public of its neutrality on the forthcoming general election. We urge the military authorities across the country to strictly carry out the order of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olorinsakin, and arrest any unauthorised persons in uniform on election days.

We also urge that investigations into

allegations of illegal importation of arms be thoroughly investigated and culprits brought to book immediately to serve as a deterrent to others who are bent on causing confusion. This is most urgent, particularly, as credible intelligence report indicates that some people are planning to scuttle free and fair election in some parts of the country.

Let the warning be obeyed to the letter and spirit of its content such that “the Armed Forces of Nigeria will carry out its constitutional duties with zero tolerance to unprofessional conduct, and let no military personnel fraternise with any political parties and associations.

We appeal to service personnel including the police not to allow themselves be manipulated by the ruling party/government or those in opposition. It is important for all staff taking part in the conduct of the election and supportive services to realise that their conduct will affect the credibility of the polls either positively or negatively.

Why some countries reject Nigeria’s exports – FG Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The Federal Government on Sunday attributed trade politics amongst nations as one of the reasons why some of the country’s exports were facing challenges in their destination countries.

Adeyemi Dipeolu, Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters, Office of the Vice President, made this known at an interactive session with journalists in Lagos.

Dipeolu said that due to international politics, some destination countries opposed the country’s exports because Nigeria had taken a stand on imports from such countries.

He said that in today’s politics, it would be difficult for the present administration to harm its local industries for the benefit of a foreign nation.

The presidential aide said that the

present administration would not allow the importation of certain goods in which Nigeria had a comparative advantage.

“For instance, yams said to be grown in a neighbouring country are accepted by most advanced and developing countries, whereas the yams are grown in Nigeria.

“It is all trade politics that will eventually balance out. So, it is better to be self-sufficient in food production than to rely on the importation of such food items,” he said.

He added that it was not advisable for Nigeria to deplete its foreign reserves for food importation as this could make the people to spill over the borders in search of food.

He explained that the federal government had not signed the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement in order to save Nigeria from being a dumping ground for foreign goods.

Dipeolu said that the country needed to

carry out due diligence on such agreement to ensure that the agreement would not negatively affect the local industries.

On the issue of power, he said the country’s power generation had reached 8,100 Mega Watts (MW), adding that the government was working on the transmission lines to end epileptic power supply in some parts of the country.

“The way to go is that the government is working on gas and other environmentally friendly means to provide adequate power to the people,” he said.

He told the journalists that the country’s economy was more than N100 trillion, adding that the government alone could not finance the economy, whose growth rate was on the rise.

He urged the private sector to come to the aid of the government to provide an enabling environment for the economy to thrive.

Feb 16 Poll: Make sure you vote, Sen Saraki urges Nigerians Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Rotary International District 9142 canvassing for violent free election in Nigeria at Umuhia, Abia State.

Experts seek ways to end substance abuse scourge The Founder/Executive Director of Global Initiative on Substance Abuse (GISA), Dr. Martin Agwogie, has urged 32 participants undergoing training on Universal Prevention on Curriculum (UPC) for substance abuse to stop the people from abusing substance.

Agwogie called on individuals, groups and relevant stakeholders to share in the vision of preventing future generations of Nigerians from substance abuse.

He made the call at the opening ceremony of the National Training on the UPC for Drug Use Disorders, which held at the Lagos Airport Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.

The Executive Director of GISA said, “After the training, these 32 participants are expected to take the experience back to their operational domains and different parts of Nigeria to build capacities for evidencebased substance abuse prevention.”

The participants include professors, doctors, lecturers in the fields of psychiatry, psychology and guidance counselling.

Others in attendance are experts in drug demand reduction from the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA),

National Agency for Food and Drugs Administration and Control (NAFDAC) and the Prisons Service are also in attendance.

Experts from the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), pharmacists, principals of secondary schools, representatives of State Drug Control Committees and Ministry of Education, religious organisations, among others.

The UPC training was organised by the U.S. Department of States Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL), through the Colombo Plan Drug Advisory Programme, in collaboration with GISA. However, it is provided at no cost to the participants.

The UPC is developed as part of U.S Global Drug Demand Reduction programme with the aim of building drug demand reduction global workforce to enhance professional discharge of responsibilities for effective and efficient service delivery.

Chairman of the anti-Narcotic agency, Col. Mohammad Abdallah (rtd) who was represented by the Dr. Lawrence

Opara, said the menace had created an unacceptable burden on individuals, families, communities and societies.

In his remarks, the National Project Officer (DDR) at the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Dr. Akanidomo K.J. Ibanga said a lot of cost would be saved when drug abuse was prevented. Based on this, drug prevention programme was already being implemented in 104 Federal Government Colleges across Nigeria.

He described the training of the trainers course as the beginning of hope for the prevention of substance abuse, saying, “When practitioners who are in the field are trained, they will then be commissioned to implement the programme and report back, as well as monitor the effect of this programme.

PDP to Buhari: Your presidency reeks of corruption Charges Nigerians to defend their votes

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has said the more President Muhamnadu Buhari tries to absolve himself from corruption, the more he gets entangled in corruption by people surrounding his government.

The party declared that President Buhari has failed his integrity test and has no moral rectitude to pontificate on corruption, having entangled himself and soiled his administration in corruption.

PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan at a press briefing in Abuja on Sunday said if there is any person whose activities of corruption have become a threat to the coming election, it is President Buhari, who is financing his campaign with looted funds, while surrounding himself with politicians indicted for corruption.

The party, according to him, had out of respect for the Office of the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria, severally refrained from calling out President Buhari on his various indictments for corruption even during his era as a military ruler.

“A clear reading of Mr. President’s statement today shows that he is not yet aware that Nigerians have decoded his mastery of concealments of corruption in his Presidency and are no longer interested in his failed selfacclaimed fight against corruption.

“President Buhari presides over the most corrupt and incompetent administration in the history of our nation, for which Nigerians are very eager to go to the polls on Saturday to vote him out of office.

“If Mr. President were to be aware, he would have discovered that his entire surrounding reeks of moral, institutional and integrity corruption. But since he has consistently claimed not to be aware of anything around him, it is imperative to let him know that the fish in his pond is rotten from the head.

“Clinical examples can be drawn from his campaign council. Nigerians are aware that not a few members of this council have been indicted on malfeasance bordering on corruption “Is it not strange therefore that President Buhari who wants Nigerians to perceive his administration as fighting corruption, will cast a net into the ocean and bring out only corrupt

people to run his campaign?

“The truth is that Nigerians have seen more than enough of the fake fight against corruption and have come to a conclusion that President Buhari is merely paying lip services to this fight.

He has no intention to do it and even if he had the opportunity to govern perpetually, he will never fight corruption”, he said.

Rather than seeking for sympathy votes, the party urged President Buhari to simply admit his failure in governance and allow Nigerians to build their future by getting our nation working again under the leadership of Atiku Abubakar.

In another development, the PDP reiterated its alert on the nation and the international community of the series of designs by the Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to rig the February 16 Presidential election, The party had on February 4, 2019, gave the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) a 48-hour ultimatum to make public the list of all officials and ad-hoc staff that will play any form of role in the February 16 Presidential election at all levels, for verification by stakeholders.

The frontline monarch who said he was surprised by the Governor’s visit said he had assured the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki of his support and that of his people the last time Saraki visited his palace.

He added: “As I have told my people we shall try as much as possible to go for the PDP. All my people know where I’m going. I will send my emissaries to the hinterland on our position regarding the elections. We are in Kwara, we must go with Kwara. We are in government, we must go with the government.

“Those our boys with you have done very well. Those that are coming will do well also. We shall work for you and God will help us. I assured the Senate President when he came here that we are for him. So, I’m surprised by this visit.”

FCT minister’s Chief of staff escapes unhurt as mob attacks APC campaign convoy 9 vehicles burnt

No fewer than nine vehicles on the All Progressives Congress (APC) campaign convoy of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Minister, Mallam Mohammed Bello, Saturday, at the Dei-Dei axis of the FCT, was burnt beyond recognition when disgruntled residents took the law into their hands.

The APC campaign convoy which comprised the FCT Minister’s representative and his Chief of Staff, Bashir Mai-Borno, the FCT APC Chairman, Abdulmalik Usman, the DG FCT Campaign Council, Hon. Musa Yahaya Mohammed, candidates of the party to various offices in the forthcoming election as well as other supporters, were allegedly attacked while on their way to the palace of the Serkin Jiwa.

In press statement issued by the Special

Assistant on media to the Minister, Sanib Abubakar, about nine vehicles in the convoy were set ablaze while several others had their windscreens smashed. Few individuals also sustained varying degrees of injuries.

The statement also said that APC convoy was pelted with rocks and other deadly missiles, while vehicles among the convoy were set ablaze with Molotov cocktail, otherwise known as petrol bombs. Other motorists were also not spared as their vehicles suffered serious damages.

Although no life was lost, the timely intervention of the security personnel ensured that the situation did not escalate.

It was alleged that the angry residents had laid a blockade around the Timber Market axis of the Dei Dei road and prevented the

APC convoy from proceeding to the palace of the Sarkin Jiwa.

According to the statement, the residents were said to have taken advantage of a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) rally which was also being held around the Dei Dei Timber Market, to unleash mayhem on the APC Campaign Convoy.

“The security detail attached to the office of the FCT Minister and others covering the event however responded by firing shots in the air to calm the situation.

Unfortunately, the convoy was attacked again around the same spot while it was returning from the palace and heading to the grand finale of the APC FCT Campaign at the Old Parade Ground. It was during this second confrontation that nine vehicles were set ablaze.

The Governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Plateau state, Lt. General Jeremiah Useni (retired), has said Governor Simon Lalong and the ruling All Progressive Congress (APC) is lying about the security situation in the state.

Useni said that when President Buhari was in Plateau last year on state visit, 27 people were killed on the eve of his arrival and yet the state Governor, Simon Lalong, hid it from him.

The Guber candidate stated this on Sunday during a media chat with Journalists in his Jos residence.

“Lalong is lying about security in Plateau, he is giving the president fake information on the security situation on ground and yet people are killed on daily basis.

“When I visited the President in Abuja, I told him that people were killed on the night before his visit, that Lalong is not telling him the truth.

Ekere may loss out to Gov Emmanuel Short News Why I’m in Kwara – CP Egbedokun in A’ Ibom - APC chieftain Isaac Job, Uyo

A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Akwa Ibom State, Eniefiok Ekefere, weekend gave reasons why the party governorship candidate, Obong Nsima Ekere may loss to the incumbent Governor Udom Emmanuel, in the forthcoming governorship election in the Akwa Ibom.

Ekefere who is a caucus member of the APC in Akwa Ibom made the prediction during a media interaction with journalists at his residence recently.

He said the relative peace provided

by Governor Udom Emmmanuel administration in the past three and half years would guarantee his second term victory adding that the people would not lose sight of it in deciding who governs them.

He recalled that the period of insecurity in the state when Sen

Godswill Akpabio was governor and the current governorship candidate of the APC, Obong Nsima Ekere was his deputy where people were being killed and kidnapped even in churches.

He said they made life unbearable and uncomfortable which eventually retarded development and progress of Akwa Ibom people.

According to Ekefere, “I am a political activist and caucus member of the APC, but for the forth coming governorship election in the state I support Governor Udom Emmanuel’s re-election because my party threw up the wrong candidate.

“I am still in APC. I am not with Udom as a person but for the public interest of my state. Interest comes first, party politics comes next. I am a free citizen and the constitution provides for freedom of assembly and association.

“One of the basic needs of the people of the state is security. When the present politicians seeking elective positions in the state were in power under the PDP

there were cases of kidnappings and assassinations.

“The same people who ensured that there was no peace in Akwa Ibom state have now moved to govern the state. Before Udom administration the churches were usually empty because of serious insecurity.”

“Udom has given us nothing but peace. All the characters in my party APC were part and parcel of the days of anarchy in Akwa Ibom state.

“In the past people don’t go to church in the state because of cases of kidnappings. Major General Edet Akpan was kidnapped in the church.

Paul Inyang, South South leader of the PDP was also kidnapped in the church and many more.

“Prosperity without peace is no prosperity. Our people now move freely and sleep in their homes with their eyes closed. You don’t hear so much of killings, kidnappings and threat to lives.

He however assured Kwarans of the total readiness of men and officers of the command would be professional in their conducts stressing that, “I am going to run an open door policy.”

According to a statement by Fr. Atta Barkindo, Head of Secretariat, National Peace Committee, the Committee being mindful of the importance of peaceful elections and non-violent transfer of power has engaged various stakeholders in preparation for the 2019 General Elections.

Both President Clinton and Baroness

Scotland will deliver goodwill messages at the signing ceremony of the “National Peace Accord”, which will hold at Abuja International Conference Centre on 13 February.

He said President Clinton would also hold meetings with President Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice-President of Nigeria, Atiku Abubakar.

“As we move into Nigeria’s national elections, the threat of unrest has to be taken seriously.

“Both Guests of Honour enjoy enormous respect in Nigeria and beyond and we look forward to his counsel and advice to help Nigeria navigate through what will hopefully be a peaceful and fair electoral cycle.

“The National Peace Committee is grateful to the Kofi Annan Foundation for supporting this process, and, after 2015, again supporting free and fair elections in

Nigeria”, he said.

Fr. Barkindo noted that the Committee has engaged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security services, 91 registered parties, the media and civil society organisations. Considering some of the challenges faced, the Committee organized the 1st signing of the National Peace Accord on 11th December, 2018 to support peaceful campaigns and political rallies.

He said: “It’s absolutely fake news. There is nothing like that.

He stated that the rumour of Miss Sharibu’s death, which surfaced just a few days to the presidential election, is another ploy by the political opposition to tarnish the image of the administration and exploit primordial sentiments ahead of the polls.

“I think it’s part of the opposition’s strategies to throw everything at the administration and at the President. I think every day they are realizing the hopelessness of their position.

“Every day they are amazed by the support Mr. President is receiving from every part of the country and they have decided that they are going to spread falsehood, inflame passion and make this election a MuslimChristian affair or North-South affair, but people are not listening to them”, Alhaji Mohammed said.

Street traders threaten legal action against Anambra Govt Stories by John Ndu, Awka

Traders under the aegis of Anambra Street Traders Welfare Association of Nigeria (ASTWAN) have threatened to take legal action on the state government if she continues to play blind to the multiple levies imposed on the traders in the state.

According to the union, traders under the present administration of Chief Willie Obiano have experienced unprecedented hardship and illegal extortion of varying degrees from both legal and illegal revenue agencies, who claimed to represent the government.

The association gave this warning during interactive session of the union with some select stakeholders in the state, at Awka, the state capital.

It would be recalled that hundreds of the association members had on November 29, 2018, stormed Government House, Awka to register their displeasure over multiple and crippling levies allegedly imposed on street traders in the state.

The traders lamented the alleged levies and appealed for the immediate intervention of the state governor, Chief Willie Obiano.

The Anambra Times also reports that the state governor, through the Secretary to the State Government, Prof. Solo Chukwulobelu, had assured the traders that the state would publish authorised, legitimate levies to be paid, saying that all illegitimate levies would stop and perpetrators fished out.

However, that plea fell on deaf ears, as the traders were yet to see any fulfillment of the promised action by the state government.

Speaking during the meeting, the chairman of. ASTWAN, Hon. Anthony Ebogha, disclosed that the earlier protest scared some illegal tax collectors, assuring that the union would not rest on their oars until all unnecessary levies are stopped.

The Chairman said that the rate of extortion of the traders had reached a worrisome state, reiterating the union’s resolve to pay only Anambra State Waste Management Agency levy (ASWAMA); Business premise levy and liquor licence.

Other levies considered as illegal by the union include Business permit, shop and kiosk levy, signage levy, Orient Weekend reports.

Regretting that many of the business owners took loans with exorbitant rates from financial institutions and are finding it difficult to survive under the harsh economic climate currently bedeviling the country, Ebogho appealed that the state government

should provide loans and enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

He further requested that the union leaders act as a middlemen between the tax collectors and its members for a hitch-free operation, while charging the state government to fulfill its promises to the union during the last protest.

Other union members, who spoke in separate interviews, re-

echoed the need for government to eliminate all forms of extortion and intimidation of traders in the state, calling for more protection of the traders.

Earlier, the Director of Small and Medium Enterprise, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Anambra State, Comrade Okwudili Obiefuna, said that their complaints were well noted, and assured them of a swift response.

He encouraged the traders to

cue into the N10 million loan initiative currently ongoing in the state, while expressing optimism that anyone who met the criteria would access the loan.

While stressing that no business can be very successful without making use of loans to assist it, the director regretted that most people have not accessed such loan opportunity in the South East as against the western and northern counterparts.

Kolanut ignites royal war in Anambra The traditional ruler of Umueri kingdom in Anambra-East Local Government Area of Anambra State, His Royal Majesty, Igwe Ben Izuchukwu Emeka, has warned his counterpart Igwe Alex Edozieuno of Mkpu-Nando Aguleri Otu community of the same council area to desist from meddling in the affairs that concern Umueri community.

He said Igwe Edozieuno was an emperor and a dictator who apparently was bereft of the knowledge and wisdom to run the affairs of Anambra-East Traditional Rulers’ Council.

The traditional ruler of Umueri community, whose warning was as a result of the purported suspension meted out on him by his fellow traditional ruler who incidentally is the chairman of Anambra East Traditional Rulers’ Council, noted further that such act of insensitivity as well as sheer display of alleged rascality was in every sense of rational judgement unbecoming and unacceptable.

Igwe Ben Emeka (Okebo II) of Umueri community, who spoke with our correspondent in Awka, recalled the genesis of the whole saga which he said began at Otuocha Township Stadium the day Governor Willie Obiano visited the area and the time for kolanut ceremony arose.

Igwe Alex Edozieuno of Mkpunando Aguleri Otu had allegedly wanted to usurp the rightful responsibility of the host traditional ruler, Igwe Emeka, to perform

kolanut rituals even though Otuocha Township Stadium falls within the territory of Umueri monarch who disputed it and stood firmly, saying that tradition required he performed Kolanut ceremonies because the event took place in his domain. That was how he was suspended from the meeting of Anambra East Traditional Rulers’ Council because he refused to allow a foreigner break kolanut in his own land.

According to him, the purported dismissal was an exercise in futility as well as the highest level of provocation because as a fellow traditional ruler, Igwe Edozieuno has no locus standi to suspend a colleague without due consideration and delibration by Anambra East Traditional Rulers’ Council.

He pointed out that it was only the Executive Governor of the state, Chief Willie Obiano, who issued certificate of recognition that had the constitutional powers to revoke certificates on circumstantial grounds.

Igwe Umueri maintained that the kind of power his colleague arrogated to himself was unacceptable, unbelievable and an exercise in frivolity.

He said it was Umueri and Aguleri-Uno that jointly gave the land upon which the Otuocha Township Stadium was built to the Anambra State Government, adding that in the Igbo culture and tradition, no one trespasses into another person’s territory and wants to break kolanut or appoint somebody to perform kolanut rituals just because he is the chairman of Anambra East

Traditional Rulers’ Council.

Igwe Emeka said: “You have always been witnessing our Anambra State Traditional Rulers’ Council of which the traditional ruler of Onitsha Igwe Alfred Nnaemeka Achebe Agbogidi is the chairman. Whenever we are meeting and they bring kolanut, he will always receives the kolanut and gives it to the traditional ruler of Awka in whose domain the meeting is being held to break the kolanut. And that is how it is done everywhere. But this man, the traditional ruler of Mkpunando is actually prepared for trouble and that is why something that happened on the 29th day of January, 2019; by 30th or 31th, he had already issued his socalled suspension letter to me which I said is laughable because his behaviour, character are like that of an emperor or a lord which is not done in this present democracy. So the only way I can describe him is that he is like an emperor!

“I have also gone ahead to suspend him for two years. He suspended me for one year and I have suspended him for two years to let him know actually that that is not how things are done. If the issue of suspension should arise, it should be in a meeting of Anambra East Traditional Rulers’ Council where we will meet and discuss it before the issue of suspension can come in. But for an individual to ask his son or palace secretary to write him a letter is actually the highest level of irresponsibility and mediocrity which I have ever seen in my entire life.”

Mrs. Obiano supports parents of multiple births with gifts

The wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Dr. (Mrs.) Ebelechukwu Obiano, at the weekend, presented gift items to parents who gave birth to multiple children (triplets and above) in 2018.

The event which was termed Bounty programme was organised by the Ministry of Children and Women Affairs.

The parents were 12 in number and were selected across the state.

Some of the items include bags of rice, tubers of yam, beverages both for babies and adults.

Other items were toiletries, baby diapers and other relief materials with an envelope.

Presenting the items at the Governor’s Lodge, Amawbia, Mrs. Obiano charged the parents to raise their children in fear of God, to be good ambassadors of the state.

Mrs. Obiano, also called Osodieme, noted that children were gifts from God and they should be carefully protected and guided with parental attention.

“We want to honour and felicitate with you. Children are blessings from God and they must be respected.

“Some parents are not careful with their children. They are too busy to give them proper attention, to learn their characters and make necessary corrections.

“I urge you to offer them quality education to enable them contribute meaningfully to the society,” Mrs. Obiano asserted.

She also prayed God to give the parents wisdom and understanding to lead the children in the right path.

On his part, the Commissioner for Children and Women Affairs, Lady Ndidi Mezue, said the programme was an annual event that propounded by the wife of the Governor.

Lady Mezue observed that the Governor’s wife, in the instance of the occasion, touched many lives yearly, through her financial support and other items.

Mezue recalled that Mrs. Obiano since this administration had mapped out various measures to empower and support widows, youths and other women.

She revealed that Mrs. Obiano had built houses for widows, scholarships for indigent and provided prosthetic limps to many people with disabilities.

Reacting, one of the beneficiaries whose wife gave birth to triplets, Mr. John Ndu, expressed gratitude to Mrs. Obiano for her magnanimity which according to him was unprecedented in the history of Anambra State.

Mr. Ndu pointed that the Governor’s wife had restored hope to the hopeless and had introduced a different style of governance, accessible to the downtrodden.

The father of triplets observed that aside provision of prosthetic limps and other empowerment, Mrs. Obiano had restored life of destitute and reunited them with their families.

He urged other beneficiaries to strengthen their support to the present administration to further consolidate on its achievements.

“Osodieme is touching lives everyday.

Her obsession is to promote healthy living for the people of the state. We are grateful Osodieme,” Ndu added.

Aviation security personnel warned against complacency Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo Aviation security officers at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport, MMIA, Lagos have been warned to guide against complacency as it can jeopardize the safety and security of the airport.

Deputy General Manager, AVSEC, headquarters, Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, Mr. Nath Onoigboria who gave the warning at the AVSEC MMIA annual seminar/lecture in Lagos said aviation was dynamic and officers must be willing to make the needed change and key in and to always updating their knowledge as new security information come.

According to him, senior officers are guilty of this, “The major challenge we have is complacency among senior officers, it is the biggest challenge, then I know it all, there is nothing as dangerous like it, because when you get to a certain level and you say I know it all, if you don’t say it with your mouth, you say it with your mind and the way you carry yourself, already you have a challenge and that is the biggest problem most of our senior officers have.”

Speaking on the theme of the seminar, “Aviation Security, MMA Perspective”, Mr. Onoigboria emphasized that the key to effective security is information sharing, adding that any agency that fails to share information is jeopardizing the safety of passengers, airlines, ground personnel, crew members, the public and facilities.

He pointed out that this could pitch the security agencies against themselves thereby making the airport vulnerable to attacks or criminal activities.

“We don’t want to share knowledge, we don’t want to share information, we take decision arbitrarily without making necessary contact and at the end of the day you instigate issues against stakeholders and other agencies within the airport personal issues to become institutionalized, that must be dealt with”, he added.

On Insider threat abuse, the DGM security said, “the issue of insider threat abuse cuts across all the agencies and stakeholders, that’s one of the biggest issues we have as regards to abuse of access control measures, regulations with regards to passenger movement, staff access to restricted areas and enforcement of rules with regards to permit.”

The Airport Manager, MMIA, Mrs. Victoria Shinaba in her opening remarks commended the MMIA AVSEC for the good work they have been doing in ensuring the safety of the facilities and the people.

She observed that AVSEC has been adequately equipped and trained to handle any situation, saying that,” We appreciate you, honestly you are doing a good job, there are some of you that have made themselves outstanding in their field.”

Shinaba commensurates with the AVSEC officers over the death of some of their colleagues last year and urged them never to give up in the discharge of their duties and to regularly check their health status.

Chief Security Officer, MMIA, Sadiku Mamman in his address of welcome said the seminar on an annual basis has afforded them to bring to the front burner the core issues that have presented themselves as opportunities for the continual review, redefinition and restructuring of the airport and aviation security at Nigeria’s flagship airport, MMA. He said the challenges they currently grapple with in ensuring hitch-free passenger facilitation during the 2019 general elections are the issues of the ongoing airport restructuring which involved the reconstruction, diversions and temporary pick up arrangement at the arrival level.

The NEITI quarterly report showed that the N8.52 trillion was disbursed to the federal and 36 state governments, along with the federal capital territory, as well as the 774 local government councils during the year under review.

NEITI added that the tranche disbursement

of over N2 trillion is the first time since 2014 that the tiers of government would receive in three consecutive quarters.

According to NEITI, the total of N8.52 trillion represented 32.8 per cent increase when compared to N6.418 trillion disbursed in 2017 and 67.1percent higher than N5.1 trillion shared in 2016.

A further breakdown of the FAAC disbursements showed that the Federal Government received N3.483 trillion in 2018 representing 41percent while the 36 States received the sum of N2.85 trillion; representing 33.4percent and the 774 local governments got N1.667 trillion, representing 19.6percent.

The Director of Communications and Advocacy, Dr. Orji Ogbonnaya Orji, said these

pieces of information and data were contained in the latest edition of NEITI Quarterly Review which analysed disbursements from FAAC in 2018 and made revenue projections for 2019.

On the states’ share of the FAAC disbursements, the review disclosed that five states received higher than N100 billion each in 2018. The States were Lagos (N119 billion), Bayelsa (N153.1 billion), Rivers (N172.6 billion), Akwa Ibom (N202.4 billion), Delta (N213.6 billion). The NEITI publication further disclosed that twenty-three states received less than N60 billion each as total FAAC receipts in 2018.

A break down shows that Cross River, Ekiti and Ogun states received N37 billion, N39.3 billion and N39.6 billion respectively. Eight states namely: Zamfara, Gombe, Plateau, Kwara,

Ebonyi, Nasarawa, Taraba, and Adamawa, received between N40 billion and N49.9 billion.

The NEITI publication observed that government revenues had continued to be on the increase since 2017. “The rebound in federation revenue continued as a result of increases in both oil and non-oil revenue”, the review stated. A quarterly breakdown of disbursements in 2018 showed a steady increase in the amount disbursed throughout the year.

For instance, in the first quarter of the year, FAAC shared N1.938 trillion, while N2.008 trillion was disbursed in the second quarter.

Disbursements in the third and fourth quarters were N2.278 trillion and N2.299 trillion respectively.

Investments worth billions trapped as NSE suspends Fortis MFB, 17 others Motolani Oseni Not less than 18 listed companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) have had their shares suspended, leaving investments worth billions of naira trapped.

The daily trading shares of the affected firms were said to have been currently suspended over failure to comply with posting listing requirement of timely filing of results.

The affected listed firms include, Fortis Microfinance Bank Plc, Aso Savings & Loans Plc, Goldlink Insurance Plc, Union Homes Savings & Loans Plc, STACO Insurance Plc, International Energy Insurance Plc, and Skye Bank Plc are

financial services suspended on the NSE. Specifically, Skye Bank share since September 24, 2018, has been suspended following the regulatory action of the Central Bank of Nigeria to revoke the license of the Bank.

The lender’s whose assets and liabilities managed by Polaris Bank shares’ remained flat at N0.77 per share as the Asset Management Corporation of Nigeria (AMCON) announced recently plans to hand over the bank to new investors.

Polaris Bank was set up last year to take over the assets of Skye Bank Plc, which collapsed and had its operating license revoked by the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Another financial company, Fortis

Microfinance Bank The likes of Thomas Wyatt Nigeria Plc, Deap Capital Management & Trust Plc, Golden Guinea Breweries Plc and Multi-Trex Integrated Foods Plc had their shares suspended on November 1, 2018, over management failure to file the relevant accounts by the expiration of the cure period.

Failure to remit December and September results to NSE, Unic Diversified Holdings Plc and DN Tyre & Rubber Plc share remained suspended.

Others are Afromedia Plc, Nigerian German Chemical Plc, Roads Nigeria Plc, Evans Medical Plc, and Omatek Ventures Plc. Shareholders who spoke with our correspondent said companies operating on the NSE are facing numerous challenges, maintaining

that regulating bodies must always protect shareholders who invested in some of these shares.

While speaking on Skye Bank suspension, The president, Independent Shareholders Association of Nigeria (ISAN), Mr. Adeniyi Adebisi, said shareholders are surcharged when takeover/ suspension is enforced on listed companies.

He said shareholders are always at the receiving end, stressing that such discourages local investors in the capital market.

“Regulated companies have no chance to argue with the regulators- that is making the case bad. Even if they have a valid point, they find it difficult to present or have it mentioned to their regulating bodies”, he added.

Ecobank deepens financial inclusion with EcobankPay Temitope Adebayo The Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria, Patrick Akinwuntan, has launched EcobankPay zone at Alaba International Market, Lagos, and expressed the bank’s commitment to continue innovating more payment and financial solutions to best serve traders across the

country.

According to Akinwuntan, the bank has designated Alaba market as an EcobankPay zone, meaning that patrons of the market, Ecobank, and non-Ecobank account holders, have more easy, secure and convenient ways to pay when they visit the market. He added that EcobankPay’s unique offering is that anyone from any bank in Nigeria can pay with MasterPass, mVISA, and mCASH with any phone by scanning QR code or using USSD.

Traders, he said, can now enjoy more possibilities to grow their business as they can also sell to customers with EcobankPay in 32 countries in Africa. He added that “EcobankPay is free to set up as the shop owner only needs his/her QR code and phone for notifications to start receiving quick and easy payments.

EcobankPay, a special merchant QR Code product of the Pan African Bank, enables customers to make seamless payment for goods and services across the three major payment

platforms without the use of plastic cards. The uniqueness of the digital product according to the bank is that it has MasterPass, MVisa, and Mcash embedded in the merchant identity QR Code. If the person that wishes to buy goods is coming from a bank that has MVisa and wishes to pay, the same QR Code would accept MVisa payment and vice versa. That creates interoperability and convenience for the merchants. The QR Code is much cheaper than having a point of sale (PoS).

Nigeria targets $4.5bn FDI from UK by 2030 , says NEPC boss Mathew Dadiya, Abuja he Executive Director of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC), Segun Awolowo has projected that the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) from United Kingdom (UK) into Nigeria could rise from $1 billion to $4.5 billion by 2030.

Awolowo disclosed this at the NigeriaUnited Kingdom Trade Diagnostic Study programme in Abuja at the weekend. He said the increase could be achieved through strengthening of bilateral Trade and Investment Cooperation Agreement (TICA).

According to him, “there was no better time to seize this opportunity than now

when economic diversification is given the front burner by the present administration of President Muhammadu Buhari.”

“Nigeria should take advantage of the over 2 million Nigerian diasporas in the UK to increase food exports” Awolowo noted.

He said, “if more visa access is granted to qualified Nigerian professionals, the country could enhance its trade in the export of services” adding that the future of Nigeria lies more in the export of services than sectors.

Awolowo listed some barriers to export in meeting UK standards to include; origin reputation, traceability, certifications, logistics amongst others.

According to a statement made available by the Head of Corporate Communications

of NEPC, Joe Ita, Awolowo revealed that exporters at the forum corroborated on the aforementioned inhibitions to their efforts at exporting, and added issues pertaining to poor financing, especially inability to secure loans at a good interest rate as their greatest bane.

On his part, Mr. Richard Ough Head of Economic Development Department for International Development (DFID) disclosed that the Economic Development Forum (EDF) between UK and Nigeria was launched as a commitment to support both economies to grow and prosper.

According to him, “Nigeria is a real frontier economy with huge potential for trade and investment opportunities for British firms, and it is a key economic partner to the UK in

Africa. Bilateral trade in 2017 was £4.2 billion and has grown an average of 7% per annum since 2008.”

He noted that the UK, through the Department for International Development (DFID) is exploring how Nigerian exporters can maximise the use of the existing trade preferences, including by supporting exporters’ dialogue with trade regulators through a Community of Practice as well as identifying market access barriers that could be removed to enhance trade between both countries.

“We are also keen to learn what more can the UK Aid do to assist Nigeria’s non-oil export and its contribution to your country’s economic diversification,” he added.

Midland Ltd faces N40m fraud case in court Motolani Oseni A Federal High court sitting in Abuja has ruled that Midland Capital Market Ltd and the Managing Director, Mr. Sam Bandi have a case to answer on allegations of falsely obtaining N40 million from a client.

This is a boost to the Securities and

Exchange Commission’s drive to ensure investor protection in the capital market.

Midland Capital Ltd and Bandi are being accused of obtaining the said sum from Mr. Patrick Aibhalemen under the false pretence that they are fund managers and going to invest the money on his behalf under a ‘Guaranteed Investment Product ‘.

They, however, did not invest the money

and thereby committed an offence contrary to Section 8 of the Advanced Fee Fraud and Fraud Related Offences Act, 2006 and punishable under Section 1(3) of the same Act. They were then arraigned on two counts charge before Hon. Justice A.R Mohammed of the Federal High Court, Abuja.

The prosecution called three witnesses and tendered 7 Exhibits.

After the close of the case by the prosecution, the company and Bandi raised a No Case submission and the court ruled in favour of the prosecution and ordered that both the company and Bandi should enter their defence because they have a case to answer.

The case was subsequently adjourned to February 19, 2019, for hearing.

FirstBank, Azuri partner on PAYGO solar Ladesope Ladelokun Leveraging innovations in First Bank’s digital services and the spread of its thousands of its First monie agents in rural, semi-urban locations, a leading provider of pay - as - you - go solar systems, Azuri Technologies is set to bring next-generation power to move off-grid consumers Nigeria.

The partnership, according to the two companies at a press briefing in Lagos last week, is consistent with their shared vision of providing a level playing field where all consumers can benefit from modern financial and digital services regardless of where they live, noting that the partnership enables rural customers to access financial services irrespective of the power challenges experienced .

Speaking on how pay - as - you - go solar and mobile payment through the First Bank’s First monie agent resonates with the Central Bank’s financial inclusion strategy for rural and semi-rural locations, the deputy managing director of First Bank Nigeria

LTD, Mr. Gbenga Shobo, described the partnership as one capable of deepening energy, digital and financial inclusions. Shobo, who was represented at the event by Mr. Tunde Owolabi, Group Executive, Retail Banking Group, Lagos and west, said there would no doubt help those who live in the hinterland to live the lives those in the cities live and would stem the ride of rural-urban migration.

“This partnership is aimed at providing solutions to one of the major challenges in Nigeria today. And that’s delivering power to millions of Nigerians while at the same time enabling ourselves to financial services in the rural and low-income areas. we all know what power is, people, say touch power touch lives. if you have power in an environment, you can imagine how lively it will be. Financial inclusion is a priority to us in First Bank. We are very excited about this partnership.”

Shobo said the partnership with Azuri was one another evidence of the bank’s track record of a partnership aimed at meeting the needs of its millions of customers across the country.

He said,” Our customers will be able to access a wide range of services that address real problems such as access to power. Agency banking is our solution to financial inclusion. From the statistics we are seeing, it is something we are excited about. And we believe as we grow that agency network, this partnership will also touch lives. Partnership with Azuri is one of our several partnerships. We have a track record of partnering with individuals and institutions to help meet the needs of our customers and it cuts across the society.’’

He added, “The first bank has been at the forefront in ensuring ease of banking and convenience for our customers. our agent’s banking network which we tag First monie agent and digital banking offerings such as chat banking on Whatsapp, First mobile App, USSD banking are some of the channels we have put in place to ensure this happens.’’

In his remarks and presentation, founder and CEO of Azuri Technologies Ltd, Mr. Simon Bransfield, says 1.2 billion people in the world still don’t have access to energy and 50 per cent of them

are in Africa.

He says the Nigerian market is a key market because of the infrastructure challenge s but expresses determination to knock down those barriers and provide solutions.

On what separates Azuri from other PAY GO companies, he says Azuri is the only company to have Artificial Intelligence inside its solar home systems, which, by implication means it gives electricity to consumers even on a cloudy day, noting that with Azuri’s powerful machine learning and advanced power management, customers can have electricity for the period of time they want.

He explained that the company has a network of trained agents, locally based in the communities they serve who provide high quality, face-face service to customers.

According to Bransfield, Azuri has created over 10,000 jobs and 20,000 solar home lighting systems in Nigeria through its unique partnership with the Nigeria government, adding that Azuri and First Bank look to expand the reach of pay – as – go – solar.

FG is committed to Maritime sector revolution, says NPA boss Temitope Adebayo The Managing Director of Nigeria Port Authority Ms. Hadiza Bala Usman has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for his efforts in revolutionizing the Maritime sector in Nigeria.

The Minister speaking at a public presentation of the book “Footprint of President Muhammadu Buhari in the Maritime sector”, stated that present administration has transformed the sector for everyone to see.

Usman who was represented by the Director of Marine and Operations, Dr. Davies Sekonte said “The Maritime Sector is a major contributor to the economy, the maritime sector is a competitive one with yet untapped potentials to do more.

“Singapore Port contributes about 27 per cent to their economy and this administration as well has made giant strides in ensuring that the Nigeria maritime sector remains a competitive one in all spheres.

“This is evident in every aspect of the Maritime sector.

The recent commissioning of Apapa Wharf road spearheaded

by NPA with the commitment of N1.8 bn spent just to enhance connectivity at the port.

“Also the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency NIMASA, has invested heavily in the satellite system and as well secured surveillance boats for protection of vessels on our waterways.

“This present government also set an ambitious target to boost rail transportation in all the zones of the country such as the construction of the KanoKaduna segment the two ends would be joined to ensure that there would be standard gauge railway across the main NorthSouth trading route by the end of 2021”.

He added that this present administration is determined to change the Maritime sector positively.

Speaking also at the event, CEO Ships and Ports, Mr. Bolaji Akinola also gave credence to the present administration for the giant strides attained.

According to him “For one, the present Administration must be given credit for bringing decorum and instilling discipline in the sector, as well as plugging revenue loopholes.

“It is on record that the Nigerian Ports Authority, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, Nigerian Shippers’ Council and some other agencies in the sector now record little or no leakages in their systems, unlike the norms of the past”, he said.

When APC, Buhari stormed Lagos with their ‘Next Level’ campaign It was obviously a show stopper, an A Grade event and many Lagosians were eagerly waiting for it, even if not for their interest in it, at least for it to pass so they can have their peace of mind back.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential campaign which berthed in Lagos on Saturday, February 9, was one event that was highly talked about and it lived up to its billing.

The news of the event came to many Lagosians in the form of announcement of the planned closure of some major roads in the city on the said date, which actually meant that most of the busy access roads into from the Airport to the Island to some part of the ever busy Stadium area will be out of bounds.

But, following the apprehension created by that news in the ever busy city, the state government through the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Habib Aruna issued a statement on government’s decision to rethink the road closure.

According to Aruna in the statement, “following the apprehension that has greeted the scheduled visit of President Muhammadu Buhari for the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential rally on Saturday, the Lagos State Government on Friday allayed fears of residents assuring that there would be no road closures as earlier announced.”

He said the State’s Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Ladi Lawanson earlier position at a press briefing earlier announcing diversion and road closure had been reviewed, adding that residents were free to go about their businesses.

Though this new position went a long way in calming tensed nerves, many Lagosians on the day rather preferred to stay indoors, unless for those who had earlier arranged outings that could not be changed or those heading for the stadium.

At the stadium on Saturday, the estatic crowd showed love to the President and expressed their determination to return President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to Aso Rock not matter the opposition against them.

President Buhari himself did not disappoint the people, as he reiterated his resolve to focus more on the delivery of the dividends of democracy to the economically disadvantaged Nigerians, rather than dwelling on matters that is less beneficial to the populace.

According to the President, by every instance the deliverables in terms of infrastructure, road and railway construction and direct empowerment to peasant traders, massive rice cultivation protecting local content and more has bettered the lots of Nigerians.

Buhari

“I assure you that the promises we made here, we will keep, the next level is about job creation and that will be done, we will do more by doing our best.

“We will maintain focus in ensuring the delivery of the dividend of democracy and moving Nigeria forward, I am convinced that we will win, through the massive votes from you all,” Buhari said.

The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo in his remarks, cited three things on the administration’s to do list if re-elected to include; “job creation for youths, steady power supply, roads and railway construction.

He also noted that, “Corruption, greed and selfishness spoilt everything, that informs why we are where we are.”

“The past administration never agreed that June 12 be our democracy day, but thanks to Buhari, he pronounced June 12 a public holiday.”

The National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomole in his remarks took a swipe at the previous Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) led administration for having deliberately fleeced the country to a pitiable state.

“Nigeria would have been far ahead if APC had been in charge since, this is the only President no British Prime Minister can call a thief, same goes for Trump, even clerics have affirmed he is on the side of the people.”

Oshiomole noted that, “Atiku’s Nigeria is the type that should work for the rich alone, but Buhari’s Nigeria should target spending N5bn for the poor, if as a Vice President you did

nothing, why should we trust you? It is a class issue masses versus the rich and poor.”

The APC National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu in a very joyful mood, appraised Lagos success story from his days as governor of the state, referring to his successor and the incumbent Governor Akinwunmi Ambode as a continuum.

Tinubu recalled how former President Olusegun Obasanjo stalled his noble IPP power effort.

“We taught Obasanjo then that there is no other way to make business, evolution and revolution without power.

“I introduced Independent Power Project IPP in Badagry, he and Atiku opposed it, I went to court, my lawyer then was Osinbajo,I won in court we started the 340megawatts,imagine if we had continued.

“Dunlop, Michellin,Siemens and many others would not have moved out of Nigeria.”

Tinubu also taught and sensitise eligible voters gathered at the Teslim Balogun Stadium the campaign venue, concerning how they are expected to cast their vote.

Telling them to use their index finger so as to avoid having voided votes and to stay by their votes, he added, “Atiku and Obi are asking for your votes, but Atiku said there is nothing wrong with selling Nigeria to his croonies?

“They want to take the monies back to Europe again, foreign observers are truly welcomed, you are free to observe, write your report and go back home. We have our style of democracy, interference is what we are against.

“Obasanjo is the greatest election rigger, he is an expired milk on the shelf, let’s dispose him in the waste bin.

Also speaking, the Lagos State governor, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode assured President Muhammadu Buhari that residents of Lagos would troop out enmasse on February 16 and deliver the state to him and other National Assembly candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC).

Governor Ambode said the President in the last three and half years fully supported the infrastructural growth in the state and would do more if given another mandate of four years.

According to him, the February 16 election was not about tribe or religion, but strictly about job creation, infrastructural development and economic growth, saying that President Buhari has shown total commitment to making life comfortable for residents.

“In and outside of the stadium, you can see the crowd that has turned out here and we are very grateful that Lagos has been signed, sealed and delivered to APC already. The message is very clear.

“We appreciate Mr. President for his support to our state in the last three and half years. The achievements that we have recorded in Lagos were possible because of his support. This election is not about tribe or religion, it’s about infrastructure, jobs and the economy and the right path to go is to go to the APC. “if you see what we are doing in Lagos already, you will see that the Airport road is not for the Yorubas or the Igbos or the Hausas, it is about making life comfortable for Nigerians and that is why Mr. President has

continually supported all our projects by even refunding some of the funds we used for capital projects so that we can complete more projects,” Governor Ambode said.

He said it was important for Nigerians to entrust President Buhari with another four years in office to continue in the trajectory of growth, warning that the return of the opposition party would do nothing but alter the progress made by the Federal Government so far.

“If you remember, the first two years of this administration we were in recession caused by the PDP, but in the last two years, we have stabilised, we have created the groundwork for growth and that is where APC is different from the PDP. They will tell you that they want to make Nigeria work again, but ask them who destroyed Nigeria in the first place?

“Therefore, this election is about moving the economy forward and for this to be possible, we need to continue on the foundation that we have already made in the last four years. APC remains one party, we remain one nation and one family,” the governor said.

Earlier, Minister for Works, Power and Housing, former governor of Lagos, Mr Raji Fashola SAN, reeled out the various feats of the Buhari led administration, citing the poise of their government to better the lots of the masses.

“The South West is better with the Vice President’s position, the other party offer nothing but the secretary position, they said we don’t need to have VP in South West instead we should be Secretary to the Federal Government.

“At least better days are here, there is light now compared with what obtains in time past, we are only left with estimated billings and we have laws in place to deal with that.

“We have licensed 108 companies to produce meters, the installation of which will also create jobs, artisans will also benefit.

“The President has given us the authority, we have many job creating projects on ground, we shall embark on the maintenance of all government parastatals, agencies and ministries office, bad doors and windows and more would be fixed.

“This will create jobs to bricklayers, carpenters, wielders and others.

“The other party lacks what it takes to build Mabilla Plateau as they promised, we have commenced the project we need 18million bags of cement to do that.

“This means extraction of limestone for cement manufacturing, we will also bag it and move them to site, these are job opportunities line out.

“22,500 trucks is needed for that as well as 42,000 tonnes of iron rod, many more avenues of job creation abounds,” he said.

UFC: Israel Adesanya beats Anderson Silva at UFC 234 to win title shot

Nigerian Boxer Israel Adesanya is the No.1 contender for the UFC’s middleweight title after beating Anderson Silva on Sunday morning.

The immediate future of the belt is up in the air after reigning champion Robert Whittaker was hospitalised before his scheduled defence against Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 234 in Melbourne.

However, after beating Anderson Silva by unanimous decision on Sunday, Adesanya set the record straight on what was next for him.

While earning a shot at the title, Adesanya also added another

g23

milestone to his evergrowing list.

He might not have finished Silva how many expected, but he faced – and beat – the greatest middleweight in UFC history – living out a dream.

As he put it immediately after the bout: “For a basketballer, this is like playing against Michael Jordan. This is it for me.�

The 29-year-old Kiwi remained unbeaten in MMA with a unanimous decision win over Silva at a sold out Rod Laver Arena, with the two putting on a show in the Brazilian’s first ever fight Down Under.

Dalung hails Flying Eagles World Cup qualification The Minister of Youths and Sports, Solomon Dalung, on Saturday congratulated the Flying Eagles on their qualification for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in Poland.

A statement by the minister’s Special Assistant on Media, Nneka Ikem-Anibeze said that the Flying Eagles finished top of Group A after beating hosts Niger Republic at home 1-0 to pick one of the four tickets at the 2019 U-20 Africa Cup

of Nations. “I congratulate you for picking one of the four slots for Africa to play at the World Cup in Poland. “I have followed the team’s progress in the group stage and I am impressed by their youthful skills, determination and teamwork. �I commend you for your performance so far in the African Championship and I pray that you scale through your semi final match

against Mali and possibly win the trophy. “ he said.

Nigeria would take on Mali in the first semifinal on Wednesday. Mali edged out Ghana by a lone goal to qualify.

The second semi final game would be between Group B leaders Senegal and runners-up South Africa.

The FIFA U-20 World Cup holding this year in Poland from May 23 – June 15 would feature Africa’s four semi-finalists.

NFF chief Seyi Akinwunmi confident Flying Eagles will reach AFCON final The First Vice President of Nigeria Football Federation, Barrister Seyi Akinwunmi has charged the Nigeria U20 team to go all out for victory in their semi final clash with Mali at the Africa U20 Cup of Nations in Niamey on Wednesday.

Speaking after Mali pipped Ghana’s Black Satellites 1-0 to reach the semi finals and pick the last available ticket to the FIFA U20 World Cup finals in Poland this summer, Akinwunmi, who was Match Commissioner for the Mali/Ghana encounter, said he has confidence in the Flying Eagles to reach the Sunday’s final.

“I watched the Flying Eagles against the host team and the fact that they were able to hold their own in such ambience is confirmation that they know what is at stake and have the mettle to face even the strongest opposition. “The Malians are strong, but so are all the four teams in the semi finals. The NFF will continue to give all necessary support for the Flying Eagles to go all the way by winning the trophy.�

Akinwunmi is in Niger Republic as a Member of the CAF Committee for Youth Competitions.

U-20 AFCON: Emmanuel Amuneke warns Flying Eagles to expect tough fight against Mali Former Flying Eagles head coach Emmanuel Amuneke has told the team to expect a tough duel in their semi-final fixture against Mali at the Africa U-20 Cup of Nations in Niger.

The seven-time African champions will face Mali in the last four tie at the Seyni Kountche Stadium, Niamey on Wednesday.

The Malians booked a spot in the semi-final on Saturday after securing a hard fought

1-0 win against Ghana at the Maradi Stadium.

The Young Eagles finished in second position in the group behind title favourites Senegal.

The Flying Eagles sealed a spot in the semi-final on Friday after edging out hosts Niger 1-0 in their final Group A clash.

Paul Aigbogun’s men top the group with seven points after two wins and a draw from the games. “Our players have to do

more of team work. The semi final match against Mali would be explosive and would be an interesting one,� Amuneke told reporters at the Seyni Kountche Stadium. “But if we play as a team rather than players doing their individual thing, we would come out on top.

Amuneke, who is head Coach of Tanzania, is in Niger Republic as a Member of the CAF Technical Study Group at this championship.

FIFA congratulates Flying Eagles over World Cup qualification ticket Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) took to their Twitter handle to congratulate Nigeria for picking one of the four 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup tickets after defeating Niger by a lone goal at the ongoing U-20 Africa Cup of Nations. “The Flying Eagles are headed to this year’s #U20WC Poland 2019! đ&#x;‘?đ&#x;‡łđ&#x;‡Ź They’ve finished top of Group A at #TotalAFCONU20 and reached the knockout

stage,� read the tweet.

Nigeria and South Africa qualified from group A on Friday for the championship after winning their respective last group matches.

While South Africa will slug it with Group B winner, Senegal next Wednesday in the semis, Nigeria will face the runners up in Group B also on Wednesday at 4:30 pm.

Flying Eagles won two matches and drew one to top Group A with 7 points.

Why Nigerian youths will not ‘go back to farm,’ 47 years after The calls by successive Nigerian governments for citizens, especially the youth, to ‘go back to farm’ is in order. But until government does the right thing, the call will continue to fall on deaf ears. The youth will continue to listen but not respond as has been the case.

Every administration since independence had introduced its own scheme aimed at encouraging people to go to farm. Yet, it seems young people are not interested in that sector of the economy. But that is not the case.

On this day, 47 years ago, 11th February, 1972, the then governor of Kwara State, Colonel David Bamigboye pleaded with the youths to ‘please return to the land.’

He spoke at the Kwara state’s Agriculture fare in Ilorin and said the need had become very urgent for young people to go back to farm and for farmers to form co-operative groups in order to increase their production which would help check the rise of cost of living as well as boost the economy of the country.

Bamigboye lamented that young people were leaving the rural areas and running to the cities in search of ‘white collar jobs’ instead of farming.

And that has continued to be the pattern.

From the era of Gen. Yakubu Gowon to Alhaji Shehu Shagari, Olusegun Obasanjo, Goodluck Jonathan and now Muhammadu Buhari, government is paying lip service to agriculture, churning out policies but not having the courage to do the things right, the way they are been done elsewhere.

It is not that Nigerian youths don’t want to go back to the farm. It is not that the people don’t like agriculture. After all it was in this same country, years ago that the groundnuts pyramids were raised high like mountains.

It was here that cocoa business boomed and earned Nigeria huge foreign exchange, the same with palm oil, cotton and rubber, among others.

What went wrong is that Nigeria found oil, tested the sweetness of crude Dollars, got drunk with it; and therefore abandoned every other sector of the economy, especially agriculture.

The second thing that went wrong is that, successive governments, including the current administration want citizens to go to farm, use outdated and crude equipments to till the ground and plant with bare hands as was the case 100 years ago. It will not work. That is why, when Chief Audu Ogbe, the Minister for agriculture tell young people to go to farm, they look at him with scorn and laugh him to derision.

It is that agriculture is the engine of most economies of the world and would benefit Nigeria immensely because of natural resources and good weather that are good for agriculture but the rights must be done by government.

In the United States for example, only the production and processing of poultry is responsible for 1,682,269 jobs that pay $96.7 billion in wages to families throughout the country. It also generate about $441.2 billion in annual economic impact and close to $34.0 billion in taxes.

But the feat is possible because government provides subsidies to farmers in billions of Dollars and control influx of poultry into the country so that local farmers maximise profit. There are several loan and other funding opportunities available to those who want to farm while they are pampered by government for feeding the people.

That is not the case here. Nigerian government want young people to go to farm with empty hands. Modern agriculture is operated with technology, not with cutlasses and hoes but with caterpillars, with harvesters and shredding machines which should be subsidized by government.

Today in Nigeria, it is almost impossible for

young people to access loan to prosecute farming projects. If you ask for N500,000 loan here, the banks would ask you to provide collateral. They ask that you deposit land papers with Certificate of Occupancy. How and where on earth are they expecting young people to have such property?

The Central Bank of Nigeria must be commended for introducing many agricultural

loan schemes which have benefitted some hundreds of Nigerians. But in a country of over 180million, how many people can the CBN initiatives get to? The government should therefore review its policies on agriculture by introducing new policies that would compel the banks to give loans to those who want to farm with minimal repayment conditions.
