Court upholds Buhari’s Executive Order to seize assets linked to corruption Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Federal High Court in Abuja, on Thursday, held that Presidential Executive Order 6 issued by Muhammadu Buhari was in the exercise of his powers under the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

propriety the order, Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu affirmed the proprietary of the ‘Presidential Executive Order No . 6 of July 5, 2018 on the Preservation of Assets’.

She stated however that the Executive Orders for the execution of policies by the executive arm of government must respect the principles of separation of powers.

Court upholds Buhari’s Executive Order...

Continued from page 1

Executive Order 6 did not violate the right of citizens to own property, insisting that the order informed by President Buhari’s willingness to save suspected property from being dissipated.

The Executive Order No 6 empowers the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) to liaise with relevant investigative agencies to temporarily seize properties linked with corruption pending investigation and conclusion of trial to prevent the dissipation of such assets.

The plaintiffs had argued that the order violates peoples’ rights to own property and denied fair hearing to owners of any property forcefully seized.

The suit marked, FHC/ABJ/ CS/740/2018, has President Buhari and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) as defendants.

The plaintiffs contended that by the provisions of

sections 5, 36 and 43 of the Constitution, the President lacked the power to issue the Executive Order.

They argued further that by issuing the Executive Order, the President allegedly encroached on the constitutionally guaranteed right of citizens to own properties, a right to which persons, who are standing trial or being investigated, but are yet to be convicted, are also entitled.

The plaintiffs added that by virtue of the provisions of Sections 5, 36 and 43 of the 1999 Constitution, the President lacked the power to issue such an order “on matters not connected with the execution and maintenance of the Constitution, all laws made by the National Assembly and to all matters with respect to which the National Assembly has, for the time being, power to make laws.”

They consequently urged the court to restrain both defendants from enforcing it and prayed for a declaration

that “the act or conduct of the president in issuing the order interferes with, or encroaches into the ownership, or otherwise of the assets or properties of any person without such person being found guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction, is unconstitutional, null and void.

But Justice Ojukwu in Thursday’s judgment viewed the issue differently as she insisted that the order was constitutional.

Justice Ojukwu however cautioned that the powers given to the AGF under the Executive Order 6 must be exercised in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution.

The judge held that although the Order seemed to give the AGF discretion as to when to seek permission of the court to seize any suspected property, it must at all times, obtain a court order before seizing any asset. Such application, the court held, could be made ex-parte.

2019 polls: Osinbajo, Okowa call for credible media coverage Nosa Akenzua, Asaba Vice President Yemi Osinbajo and the Governor of Delta State, Senator (Dr.) Ifeanyi Okowa, on Thursday, urged the media to retain its credibility as an unbiased umpire as the nation approaches the i2019 general election.

They made the call at the 14th edition of All Nigeria Editors Conference (ANEC) holding in Asaba, Delta State.

Osinbajo said: “The journalism profession has always been at a greater risk than other professions; freedom of expression has always given people the right to use any information, but, there was some actions by some regulatory parliaments that created obstacles for all newcomers except for renowned professionals and this created some restrictions; but today, all that is gone and who is to blame for the death of this profession?”

“The first culprit is technology; its inheritable evil also has the capacity for overwhelming good as we need technology in every aspect of our livelihood; the second and most important culprit is the professional himself”.

He observed that “over time, we have lost the trust of the public, because, what do people want? People want the truth, objectivity - they want clear analysis of events.”

He continued: “there was a time when someone would say, ‘I read it in the Times’ because, whatever was written then was absolutely meant to be the

truth but today, skeptics will ask you “who sponsored this story?’ Most of the investigative reports are reported by the social media such as blogs, television channels and so forth; The Guild, as we all agree, is a society of gate-keepers to whom belongs the responsibility of defining the efforts, the norms, the ethics of this profession; upon you is also the burden of setting the acceptable rules, the conventions and practices of the profession; this gathering is made greater in a society where corruption is the order of the day and where there is constant fight, and the burden of the Guild is to ensure that your rules and regulations are enforced and kept as it is a self-regulatory profession.”

Governor Okowa had in an address, observed that the independence, objectivity and credibility of the media is being undermined by media practitioners engaging in public relations consultancy services to politicians, dearth of investigative journalism and inadequate remuneration for journalists in their places of work.

He said: “Media practitioners who are known to be engaged as Public Relations Consultants to politicians/public office holders compromises the editorial independence, fairness and objectivity of the press. By the time a professional journalist goes on social media to be advocating for or defending a particular candidate/public figure, he cannot be trusted to report fairly and impartially on matters concerning that person.

This is a clear and present danger to the journalism profession and

one that this body should strive to contain as quickly as possible, especially as we approach the 2019 general election”.

He added: “I must point out that there is still too much hear-say reporting. Too often, reporters base their stories on what people say or allege without bothering to crosscheck the facts. As a result, politicians/ political office holders are forced to defend themselves against sometimes very wild, outlandish allegations; reputations have been ruined, careers destroyed and families torn apart because of such reporting.”

Governor Okowa who described the Nigerian press as one of the freest in the world with a rich enviable history of crusading against corruption, bad governance and despotic leadership, noted that “a situation where a reporter is unsure of his next pay cheque does not augur well for the growth of the profession as it exposes them to undue influences from politicians and public office holders adding thst “survival is a basic instinct of man and a person whose survival is threatened could care less about integrity and fairness.”

“We need our journalists to report the truth no matter whose ox is gored but they cannot do that with boldness, confidence and assurance if their welfare is in jeopardy,” he added.

Governor Okowa stated that the theme for the conference, ‘Credible Elections, Sustainable Democracy and the Role of the Media,’ was “relevant at this

Obasanjo makes U-Turn, endorses Atiku for 2019 presidency Patrick Okohue, Lagos, Abiodun Taiwo, Abeokuta, Mathew Dadiya, and Tom Okpe, Abuja In a move that left many Nigerians surprised, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Thursday, backtracked from his former stand and threw his weight behind the presidential ambition of his former vice president and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, by endorsing his ambition.

Obasanjo, who said the former VP has the capacity to perform better than incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari, emphatically declared that Atiku will become the next Nigerian president.

Obasanjo, who spoke at a press conference after Atiku led top party chieftains including the national chairman, Prince Uche Secondus and some clergy men among others on a visit to the former President at the

Obasanjo Presidential Library, also said he has already forgiven Atiku after the latter sincerely apologised to him and showed remorse.

He said: “I am happy to welcome the distinguished leaders of goodwill who have led the PDP Presidential Candidate and my former Vice-President, Atiku Abubakar, to my humble abode and I welcome the Presidential Candidate himself.

“Let me start by congratulating President-to-be, Atiku Abubakar, for his success at the recent PDP Primary and I took note of his gracious remarks in his acceptance speech that it all started here.

“Yes, when it started, it was meant for Atiku to succeed Obasanjo. In the presence of these distinguished leaders of goodwill today, let me say it openly that we have reviewed what went wrong on the side of Atiku. And in all honesty, my former Vice-President has re-discovered and re-positioned himself.

As I have repeatedly said, it is not so much what you did against me that was the issue but what you did against the

party, the government and the country.

“I took the stand I had taken based on the character and attributes you exhibited in the position you found yourself. I strongly believe that I was right. It was in the overall interest of everyone and everything to take such a position.

“From what transpired in the last couple of hours or so, you have shown remorse; you have asked for forgiveness and you have indicated that you have learnt some good lessons and you will mend fences and make amends as necessary and as desirable.

“Whenever or wherever you might have offended me, as a Christian who asks for God’s forgiveness of my sins and inadequacies on daily basis, I forgive and I sincerely advise you to learn from the past and do what is right and it will be well with you. Obviously, you have mended fences with the party and fully reconciled with the party. That’s why today, you are the Presidential Candidate of the party.

In addition to appreciating all that the

Few days to Fayose’s exit, Ekiti Assembly impeaches Speaker, others My removal will not stand, says embattled speaker Fayose urges lawmakers to cooperate with Fayemi

Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti Few days to exit of outgoing Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose, 14 members of Ekiti State House of Assembly, on Thursday, removed the speaker, Hon. Kolawole Oluwawole and his Deputy, Hon. Sina Animasahun.

The lawmakers also removed other principal officers of the house and appointed new ones to replace them.

This impeachment was carried out in a manner similar to what played out in 2014 when Governor Fayose took over power.

At that time, seven members of the Assembly impeached the then Speaker and member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Dr. Adewale Osiris and installed Hon. Dele Olugbemi, who just defected to the Peoples Democratic Party(PDP), the new Speaker.

At the plenary on Thursday, the lawmakers subsequently appointed Hon Ebenezer Alagbada, representing Ise/Orun constituency as the new speaker.

The Assembly also reinstated the former deputy speaker, Hon Segun Adewumi back to his former position.

Hon Gboyega Aribisogan, former Minority leader, was elected the new leader of Business.

The lawmakers, comprising three APC and 11 PDP Lawmakers, suspended other 12 lawmakers, including Oluwawole for 125 legislative days.

Those suspended were Hon Oluwawole, Animasahun, Dr. Omotoso Samuel, Hon. Wale onigiobi, Hon. Wale Ayeni, Dare Pelemọ, Hon. Jeje Samuel,. Hon Akinleye Dayo, Hon. Fajemilehin Ayodele, Hon. Fasanmi Temitope, Tunji Akinyele and Hon Sanya Aladeyelu.

At the sitting, Hon Sunday Akinniyi of the APC extraction was elected Minority Leader, Fajana OjoAde, Deputy Leader, Hon Cecilia

Dada, Chief Whip, and Hon Musa Arogundade, Deputy Chief Whip .

But the embattled speaker, Oluwawole, has described his impeachment as illegal, saying it will not stand, just as Fayose blamed the Police for the impeachment.

Addressing newsmen after the plenary, Aribisogan, the new Leader of Business, said Oluwawole and other PDP lawmakers were suspended over alleged complicity in the disappearance of N60 million in the House.

He also added that they were also slammed with suspension for ineptitude, saying they allegedly allowed the reputation of the Assembly to be destroyed by the outgoing governor with their attitudes.

Aribisogan also stated that the assembly under Oluwawole was poorly funded, became practically a subservient of the executive and the speakership position was hijacked by powerful members, owing to their closeness to the governor.

He also accused the former speaker of betraying Ekiti populace by holding a secret plenary last month with other suspended members to approve N10 billion supplementary budget sent by Fayose.

“Today, we held a plenary session which was a follow up to the parliamentary session we held yesterday and we carried out changes in the leadership of the House.

“When the PDP members were busy doing the presidential primary in Port Harcourt, we were busy here strategising on how best to make Ekiti governance for the incoming government, Dr. Kayode Fayemi.

“14 members sat to carry out these changes out of which 11 are addressing this press conference. We have 26 members in this Assembly, and we needed just nine to form quorum.

“Our actions were guided by the standing orders of this Assembly and we didn’t deviate from it, so the

quorum was formed and our actions were legal and constitutional”, he stated.

He added that the PDP still remains the majority party in the Assembly and that those who carried out the removal did so in the overriding interest of Ekiti people.

The new Speaker, Hon Alagbada, in his acceptance speech, appreciated the members for reposing confidence in him, saying he won’t betray the trust of the members.

He said: “You are aware that the House has since inception of the present administration become the property of the governor rather than an arm of government. Ekiti State is yearning for a purposeful legislature that would be truly committed and independent to discharge its constitutional duties.

“We will no longer allow a situation whereby legislature will be pocketed or caged by the executive. Let me assure all and sundry that that we will cooperate with the governor-elect, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, to move Ekiti forward.

“You will recall that the fourth assembly changed its leadership in 2014 when some members of APC defected to PDP to facilitate the smooth take off of Mr. Fayose. So, history is only repeating itself and there is nothing extraordinary in what we have done”.

The Speaker announced the dissolution of all statutory and standing committees of the House, urging the chairmen to hand over to their respective secretaries.

But the suspended speaker, Oluwawole, has described his purported impeachment as a rape on democracy and an a descent to lowest level of lawlessness and illegality.

According to a statement by his Special Assistant on Media, Stephen Gbadamosi, Oluwawole said those who carried out the illegality were

Obasanjo party has done for you, may I advise you to work together with all those who contested for the party’s flag with you as a team for your campaign.

“There are still areas, nationally and internationally, where you have to mend fences and make amends.

You will know how to handle what is already out and what may yet be put out by the opposition. But, I am convinced that if you continue with the attitude that brought you here with these distinguished leaders of goodwill, with remorse and contrite heart, the rest of the coast within and outside the country can be cleared. And if there is anything I can do and you want me to do in that respect, I will do.

“I am sure with the right attitude for change where necessary, and by putting lessons learned by you to work, you will get the understanding, cooperation, support and mandate - all at the national level. With Nigerians voting for you, it will mean that you secure their forgiveness and regain their confidence. It will be with the hope or assurance of a Paul on the road to Damascus Conversion. After all, change and conversion are of man. I believe that with a contrite heart, change is possible in everybody’s life and situation.

“For me, relatively and of all the aspirants in the PDP, you have the widest and greatest exposure, experience, outreach and possibly the best machinery and preparation for seeing the tough and likely dirty campaign ahead through. From what I personally know of you, you have capacity to perform better than the incumbent. You surely understand the economy better; you have business experience, which can make your administration business-friendly and boost the economy and provide jobs.

“You have better outreach nationally and internationally and that can translate to better management of foreign affairs. You are more accessible and less inflexible and more open to all parts of the country in many ways. As Pastor Bakare, one-time running mate of the incumbent President said, “You are a wazobia man.” And that should help you in confronting the confrontable and shunning nepotism.

“As you know, along the road to where you are today, many leaders and ordinary people cooperated and overtly and covertly worked hard. On your behalf, I thank them all. May their coast continue to be expanded. And when you become Nigerian President which, insha-Allah, you will be, remember what we did together in government – we ran an administration by Nigerians for all Nigerians where merit and performance count more than blood

relationship, friendship or kith and kin.

Although some time and ground have been lost, you should endeavour to start from where we stopped and recover some lost ground, if not time.

“Please uphold truth, integrity, principles, morality and fight corruption, crimes and insurgency.

The fundamental law of the land, our constitution, must be scrupulously defended. I make one demand and one demand on you today, I need you to say before God and man that you will always remain irrevocably committed to upholding ALL the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the whole country will remain your single indivisible constituency.

“Constitutionalism, popular participation and inclusiveness are preconditions for reversing the deficits of the past three and half years. They will ensure abiding faith in our indivisibility, oneness and faith in the survival of all against none.

“The fundamentals for our development, economic growth and progress are hard and soft infrastructure.

Remember to always give adequate places in your administration to our youth and women.

“All the authorities involved with the preparation, all processes and conduct of the election must ensure that the election is free, fair and credible.

“Once again, congratulations and I wish you well. My distinguished brothers and leaders of goodwill, thank you for making this happen. I will now count on you to encourage all hands to be on the deck to take Nigeria to the level God has created it to be – autopilot level.”

Those present at the press conference included the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus, Chief Bode George, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Senator Liyel Imoke, Prince Olagunsoye Oyinlola, Senator Ben Murray-Bruce and Otunba Oyewole Fasawe among others.

Meanwhile, the Presidency has received the news of Obasanjo’s predictable U-turn and somersault on the endorsement of Atiku at a meeting on Thursday, saying that it is the least surprised by the well-rehearsed theatre.

“They will lose together. Listening to the prepared statement of the former President after the meeting showed the usual ego trip and “I know it all” character of Obasanjo,” the Presidency stated.

In a statement made available on Thursday by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, said that in the first place, “we dare to say that a pompous statement from the former President advising Nigerians on a vote against President Buhari is the best recommendation that can come at this time.”

The statement reads in part: “It also betrayed a lack of understanding of today’s politics which is about good governance. The country voted for change in 2015 and a leader that ensures good governance which only President Buhari and the APC can provide.

“Bent on these laudable goals, we will not allow ourselves to be distracted.

“We are busy on various national issues including the restructuring and the diversification of the economy, fighting corruption, terrorism and other threats to national security; increasing the availability of electric power, improving education, health, and providing long-delayed infrastructure-

2019 poll: Senate okays N189bn for INEC, disagrees with Buhari on source of fund Recommends funding from President’s N500bn security vote To ratify election budgets of security agencies next week

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Senate, on Thursday, passed election budget of N189,007,272,393 for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct the 2019 general election.

But the lawmakers disagreed with President Muhammadu Buhari on the source of funding the election.

They rejected proposal by the President that fund for the election be sourced from money allegedly inserted by the legislators for execution of constituency projects.

The lawmakers rather recommended that the 2019 elections should be funded from the security votes of the President, specifically, from both recurrent and capital components of Special Intervention Programmes captured in the Service Wide Votes of the 2018 Appropriation Act. The Daily Times recalls that President Buhari had in July this year sent a letter to the National Assembly requesting

that the 2019 election budget be approved in two tranches of N143 billion and N45 billion, making the total sum, N189 billion.

While he said that the N143bn should be approved this year, the remaining N45bn, he said, should be approved in 2019 budget.

The controversy that trailed the election budget when National Assembly was on break, may have prompted the President to send another letter in September 19, 2018 to the lawmakers, seeking the approval of the total sum of N189 billion for the election.

In the first letter dated July 11, President Buhari had requested that the election budget be taken from the N500bn inserted into the 2018 budget by the lawmakers.

During the debate at plenary on the report submitted by the Senate Committee on Appropriation, the upper chamber approved that the N189 billion election budget be sought from the security votes of the President.

In the report subtitled ‘Source of fund’, the Appropriation Committee recommended that

“the sum of N189,007,272,393 requested for the funding of the 2019 general election should be vired from both Recurrent and Capital components of Special Intervention Programme captured in the Service Wide Votes of the 2018 Appropriation Act.” The Appropriation Committee, in its report, explained that the total request of President Buhari for the election in his two letter is N242,445,322,600.00.

The lawmakers further explained that while N189bn is for INEC to conduct the elections, the remaining balance is meant for the security agencies for the conduct of the elections.

The breakdown of the balance shows that the budget for Office of the National Security Adviser is to get N4,281,500,000.00, Department of State Services - N12,213,282,455.00, National Security and Civil Defence Corps - N3,573,534,500.00, Nigerian Police Force -N30,541,317,432.00 and Nigerian Immigration Service - N2,628,143,320.00.

Meanwhile, the

Appropriation Committee is expected to present to the committee of the whole on Tuesday, its recommendations for election budgets of security agencies.

Chairman, Senate Committee on Appropriation, Senator Danjuma Goje, disclosed this at a meeting of the committee on Thursday to consider budget proposals of security agencies for next year’s election purpose.

He urged the agencies to submit their comprehensive budget proposal to three different appropriate joint committees of both chambersSecurity and Intelligence, Police and Interior.

Goje added that reports of the three different subcommittees will be harmonised and submitted before the whole house at plenary next Tuesday.

At the meeting were directors general of the Nigerian Immigration Service, Fire Services and State Security Services while the Inspector General of Police, National Security Adviser and Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps were represented at the meeting.

Senate confirms 22 NPC commissioners, rejects one, to screen 9 ICPC nominees Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Senate has confirmed the appointment of 22 nominees of President Muhammadu Buhari as commissioners for the National Population Commission (NPC).

Their confirmation followed presentation of report of the Committee on National Identity Card and National Population Commission on screening of 23 nominees for confirmation of appointment as commissioners of the NPC. Chairman of the committee, Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi (PDP, Kaduna North), said the committee did not clear Dr. Abdulmalik Mohammed Durunnguwa because of discrepancies in the certificate he presented.

After much deliberation on the

matter, the lawmakers through a voice vote, unanimously agreed that the committee should carry out investigation on the matter and report back in plenary.

Confirmed by the Senate includes Nwanne Nwabuisi from Abia State, Dr. Clifford Zirra (Adamawa), Dr. Chidi Ezeoke (Anambra), Isa Buratai (Borno), Navy Capt. Charles Ogwa, rtd (Cross River), Sir Ricard Odibo (Delta), Okereke Onuabuchi (Ebonyi), Olusegun Aiyejina (Edo), Ejike Ezeh (Enugu) and Hon. Abubakar Danburam from Gombe State.

Others are Prof. Uba Nnabue (Imo), Suleiman Lawal (Kano), Prof. Jimoh Isah (Kogi), Dr. Sa’adu Alanamu (Kwara), Nasir Kwarra (Nasarawa), Aliyu Datti (Niger), Mrs. Seyi Olusanya (Ogun), Dr. Olanadiran Iyantan (Ondo), Senator Mudashiru Hussain (Osun), Mrs. Cecilia

Dapoet (Plateau), Dr. Ipalibo Harry (Rivers) and Sale Saany from Taraba State.

In his remarks, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, who presided over the plenary, congratulated the nominees and urged them to discharge their duties effectively.

Also, the upper chamber is set to screen nine nominees of Buhari into the board of directors of the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

This followed the executive communication by President Buhari to the upper legislative chamber on the request for confirmation of the nominees, which was read by the Senate Leader, Senator Ahmad Lawan (APC, Yobe North) during plenary.

The President is seeking confirmation of the nominees for appointment into the anti-

corruption agency in accordance with the provision of Section 38(6) of the ICPC (Establishment) Act, 2000.

After the Leader had read the letter, Ekweremadu directed that the committee, chaired by Senator Chukwuka Utazi (PDP, Enugu North), should screen the nominees and report back to the plenary within two weeks.

The appointees are Prof.

Bolaji Owasanoye from Osun State as chairman, Dr. Grace N. Chinda from Delta, Mr. Okolo Titus (Enugu), Barrister Obiora Igwedebia (Anambra), Mrs. Olubukola Balogun (Lagos) and Justice Adamu Bello from Katsina State.

Others are Hannatu Muhammed from Jigawa, Abdullahi Maikano Saidu from Niger and Yahaya Dauda from Nasarawa State as members of the commission.

point in time, especially in the light of the recently concluded party primaries; indeed, the choice of the theme aptly reflects the concern of all Nigerians for a free, fair, transparent and credible 2019 elections for sustainable democracy.”

“Democracy requires the exercise of political power to promote the

public good or welfare of the people, accountability and transparency in governance and the existence of viable opposition parties for it to be sustainable,” he observed., He said: “One of the biggest steps we took towards ensuring sustainable democracy in Nigeria was when in 2015 the ruling PDP at the federal level conducted an election, lost and handed

over to the opposition APC. This was a scenario previously thought impossible but when that happened, to the chagrin of critics and naysayers, a solid foundation was laid for sustainable democracy in Nigeria.”

He emphasised that “the current APC-led Federal Government must build on this foundation and resist the temptation to repress the opposition

Continued on page 5 roads, rail, airports and so forth.

“Many governments have come and gone, but they did not care about some of these projects.

“We were talking about these things for 16 years under the PDP and nothing was done.

“President Buhari is proud of his record because his achievements are verifiable, while that of the PDP is manifested by the devastating social and economic impact of large scale corruption during their governance.

“The President will not relent in the war against corruption because the ordinary people are the ultimate victims if we surrender to corruption and let its perpetrators go unpunished.

“Abandoning the war against corruption is not an option. President Buhari is in this battle against graft because he cannot allow a few, rapacious, and selfish class of the elite to divert the resources meant for the well-being of the ordinary people to their private pockets.

“Nigerians trust President Buhari in this effort because they are convinced he is not in government for personal financial benefits, or for an ego trip. It is just 11 years ago that the former President and Vice President in their ugly fight for power accused each other of corruption. Nigerians are yet to forget all that.”

Also, the All Progressives

Congress (APC) has noted that it is meaningless to the party the endorsement of Atiku by Obasanjo.

The party said come 2019 elections, the former president will be demystified.

Speaking with journalists at the national headquarters of the ruling party in Abuja, on Thursday, APC’s National Vice Chairman, South-south, Hiliard Eta, said the endorsement is not a threat to the APC, saying, “Obasanjo will be demystified”.

When reminded that the same Obasanjo endorsed President Buhari in 2015 presidential election, Eta said: “His (Obasanjo) endorsement has nothing to do with our party victory in 2015. I know that politics is more of deception but I tell you that Obasanjo’s electoral value is little to nothing. Remember that Obasanjo in all the elections lost from his ward level to everywhere. Obasanjo is more loved away than at home and like I said earlier, Obasanjo will be demystified”.

When pressed further whether the presence of some religious leaders at Obasanjo’s home during the endorsement will be a minus to the ruling party, the APC chieftain said: “One of the political wing of the PDP is one organisation called Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), so one is not surprised that association (CAN) can do all they can”, he said.

provided police cover and they prevented other members and even staff of the House from gaining entrance into the complex.

“This is bizarre! In a democracy? This is the height of illegality and it can never stand. As the Speaker of the House, I supervised over the last adjournment of the House, which was carried out according to laws and laid down rules.

“I retain the power to reconvene the House and I have not done that yet. How then can some people say the House sat?

This is totally illegal. The role of the police in this siege is clear.

It was enemies of democracy that purported the House sat.

Earlier, the chairman of the occasion, Mr Tonnie Iredia, had in a welcome speech, urged the media to make everyone accountable for what he does, stating, “as journalists, we should

Similarly, Governor Fayose has condemned the impeachment, saying it is regrettable, but urged the new leadership of the house to cooperate with the incoming administration of Governor Kayode Fayemi, and put Ekiti interest first in all their actions.

2019: APC advocates integrity test for PDP candidates Tom Okpe, Abuja

Ahead of the 2019 general election, the All Progressives Congress (APC) has said that the major opposition in the country; the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) cannot avoid corruption, calling for integrity test for candidates.

The party in reaction to a recent statement credited to the PDP spokesman, Mr. Kola Ologbodiyan accusing officials of the APC administration of ‘deliberate efforts impugn on the character’ of the PDP Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar describe that the assertion is laughable and ironic.

According to a press statement signed by the APC spokesman, Yekini Nabena on Thursday, “The PDP’s assertion particularly coming

from its spokesperson is ironic and laughable, given the fact that Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan as an editor with one of the national newspapers in fact, unearthed the Special Audit/Forensic Investigation of Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) which indicted Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, then Vice President, for mismanagement of Fund.

“The PDP spokesperson in his published report disclosed that from 1999 to 2006, Atiku’s approval for the release of $20m from the treasury and subsequent placement in Trans International Bank without appropriation and approval by the Federal Executive Council (FEC) was illegal and amounted to abuse of office”.

The APC claims there are no lies in this report as Alhaji Atiku grapples with several other corruption indictments saying, “This is a fact and reality he needs to deal with and

come clean about.

“The PDP cannot be simplistic and attempt to wish away the issue of the integrity of candidates seeking elections into positions at all levels, particularly as 2019 approaches. We reiterate our position that the Nigerian electorate must have that opportunity to choose from candidates that can pass the integrity and anti-corruption test. The character of office holders we elect into public offices is important as our very progress and development as a country depends on it.

“When the choice is to be made, the electorate has the option of a proven and decent presidential candidate who is putting the people first and on the other hand a racketeer who will readily mortgage the country commonwealth to personal coffers and cronies”, the party noted.

Parties Primaries: Women Group condemns APC for non inclusion Tom Okpe, Abuja A Group, Women in politics Forum, (WIPF) has condemned the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) for non inclusive governance as promised at emergence.

The group pointed that since 1999, inclusion, participation and representation of women in politics have been undermined both in policy and practice.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja on Thursday, Ebere Ifendu sho spoke on behalf of the women said that the political climate in Nigeria has been dominated by a dispassionate politics of intimidation.

She said: “The political climate has largely been dominated by a foray of dispassionate politics of intimidation, threats, violence against women in politics and elections.

Bi-Courtney dispute: Aviation unions threaten to extend picketing to other terminals The unions in the aviation sector on Thursday threatened to ground flight operations at all terminals of the Murtala Muhammed Airport (MMA), Lagos over the sacking of their members by Bi-Courtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL).

The unions issued the warning on the second day of their ongoing picketing of MMA2, operated by BASL, whose management allegedly sacked 24 employees for indicating interest to unionise.

The unions are: The National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE), Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN) and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE).

As early as 6:30am, the union members in their hundreds continued their siege at both the entry and exit points of MMA2, which is Nigeria’s only privately owned terminal.

However, the BASL management barricaded the two entry and exit points with trucks while some security operatives were seen with sniffer dogs to prevent the protesters from gaining

access into the terminal building.

The protesters were seen carrying different placards with different inscriptions such as “We the victimised Bi-Courtney ATSSSAN branch, Say No to Slavery, Injustice, and Victimisation, While we Say Yes To Unionism, Good Working Condition and Job Security”.

Others inscriptions were “Unionism must stand in Bi-Courtney”, “Babalakin is not above the law”, “A case of a Nigerian enslaving Nigerians”, “No to One Month Salary as Gratuity in Bi-Courtney”.

The protest also caused heavy vehicular traffic around the airport, which affected other parts of Ikeja and the Agege Motor Road.

Airlines affected by the action included Arik Air, Medview Airline, Azman Air, Max Air, Dana Air and Aero Contractors, which operate flights from the terminal.

There was heavy presence of security operatives including the Police and officers of the Nigeria Air Force in the area during the protest.

Speaking on behalf of the unions, Mr Frances

Akinjole, Deputy General Secretary, ATSSSAN, told NAN that the unions were ready to shutdown other terminals at Lagos Airport if the company refused to recall the affected workers.

Akinjole said from the situation on ground, the BASL management was not ready to dialogue with the unions on the issue of the sacked workers.

“The present protest is the only option left for us but as you can see now, our protest is not even yielding any result because the management has decided to barricaded their own company with two heavy trucks by themselves.

“This means they are ready and prepared to shutdown the terminal instead of addressing the issue because if the shutdown on Wednesday had impact on them, then they would have settled for dialogue but they are not ready for it.

“We have been concentrating on MMA2 since Wednesday and today but if it should go beyond this week then the whole of this Lagos airport will also be affected,” he said.

The Acting General Officer Commanding (GOC) 7 Division, Maiduguri, Brig.-Gen. Abdulmalik Biu has assured troops of Sector 1 of the Operation Lafiya Dole of adequate welfare package to enbale them discharge their duties.

A statement by the army spokesman, Brig.-Gen. Texas Chukwu on Thursday, said Biu gave the assurance when he paid operational visit to troops at Chibok and Askira in Borno, and Michika and Madagali in Adamawa.

The GOC said the visit was to assess the combat readiness of the troops and review tactics and strategies that would see to the total defeat of Boko Haram terrorists.

Biu informed the troops that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai had approved the distribution of uniforms to formations and units.

He re-emphasised that the ongoing rotation of troops of Operation Lafiya Dole would continue in line with the Nigerian army policy and assured them of prompt rotation when due.

NIMASA advocates safety enforcement The Nigeria Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), on Thursday in Lagos advised maritime stakeholders on the need to maintain and enforce safety measures in the work place.

Dr Dakuku Peterside, the Director-General (DG) of NIMASA speaking during the agency’s 2018 Annual Maritime Administration and Safety Enforcement Workshop said that it behoves on NIMASA to ensure safety within the nation’s maritime domain.

The DG said that creating awareness on safety measure was the first step toward achieving the goals that entailed increase productivity, reduction in potential hazards, fewer accidents and the promotion of safety practices.

“The initiation of Maritime Administration and Safety Enforcement (MASE) is to provide hands-on safety procedures that aid the industry to carry out responsibilities under the NIMASA Act of 2007 and related conventions.

Atiku on the march again

Zainab Suleiman

After much horse-trading and intense competition over People’s Democratic Party (PDP’s) hotly contested primaries, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar emerged the party’s flagbearer last Sunday. For a man who has been in the spotlight for over 20 years, almost everything is known or has been written about him. From the archives, I retrieved my column of June 8, 2016, (about Atiku) based on a speech he delivered at a book launch, when he was still in the All Progressives Congress (APC). Below is the write-up originally titled “Atiku At It Again”, after a little editing and modification: Anybody who thinks the public presentation of a book should be about thematic issues concerning the book itself, must have been taken aback at what transpired at the presentation of Chido Onumah’s, We Are All Biafrans, last week.

The audience got more than they bargained for when former Vice President Atiku Abubakar turned the event into a political talk shop of sort and took swipes at his former boss ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, previous governments, and the Buhari government of which he is supposedly a part. In the process he opened a floodgate of commentaries and generated a lot of controversies. Atiku reviled the problems with Nigeria’s political elites and why they have been unable to get it right after decades of independence. In summary, it was a bombshell that had the capacity to unsettle the government of the day from a supposed insider. His homily has since got tongues wagging, as people continue to wonder whether his speech was meant to worm his way back to people’s consciousness, and more to show his readiness for the top job come 2019.

His international business network also earns him media exposure.

To be sure, Atiku is not averse to such debates; in fact, either by acts of omission or commission, he courts controversies, and is not afraid to

oppose the government he is serving in from within. Unarguably the most powerful vice president ever, Atiku’s first term with President Obasanjo was eventful; his following was so huge to the extent that many of the then governors were loyal to and ready to queue behind him for the presidency if he would throw his hat into the ring. It was said that a former governor from the South-South zone led over 15 governors of the PDP at the time on a mission to prevail on Atiku to run against his former boss at the 2002 PDP primaries. He did somehow, but made a costly mistake. He chickened out and conceded to his boss after some nocturnal appeals and negotiations synonymous with the intense politicking at such moments.

Then Atiku’s political assets nosedived. He spent the remaining four years struggling for survival, while fighting to extricate himself from corruption charges and several court cases, most of which he won to the advantage of our democratic experience. He contested the 2007 presidential election under the Action Congress and eventually lost to the late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua.

He was not deterred. In 2011, he returned to the PDP to square up with Goodluck Jonathan after he emerged as Adamu Ciroma’s committtee’s consensus candidate from the North. Again, he lost the primaries, but his memorable speech and the jabs he threw at Jonathan endeared him to many, and further won him some respect. In no time he joined the APC moving train. He lost to President Muhammadu Buhari, who by this time had become a cult hero; but he later joined forces with him for the then emerging political bloc, the APC, to clinch power at the centre. The rest as they say is now history.

The serial aspirant/candidate is now making a dramatic return, or so it seems, considering his open criticisms of government’s policies and

approach to issues last week. His restless and never-say-die spirit is up again.

He gave sobering lessons in political engineering, asking for the restructuring of the country in a system that marginalises and brooks no dissent, and which no longer serves the nation’s interest. He was referring to IPOB, Niger Delta Avengers and the likes. “The federal government is too big and too powerful relative to the federating states; that situation needs to change, and calling for that is patriotic.

“An excessively powerful centre does not equate to national unity… Absolutely not. And I reject that notion. If anything, it has made our unity more fragile, our government more unstable and our country unsafe. We must renegotiate our union in order to make it strong”, he averred.

Atiku said the idea of a Ministry for the Niger Delta was encapsulated in his blueprint as an aspirant in 2007 but the late President Yar’Adua appropriated and implemented it haphazardly, leaving out the key components of situating the capital at the heart of Niger Delta, and turning the agitators into coasts guards, to serve two purposes of providing employment and protecting the shorelines and oil installations.

He carpeted the gas-to-power project started by the Obasanjo administration and continued by successive governments for leaving out his suggestions of captive stations, adding that the gas-to-power idea would never work as long as the Niger Delta agitation is not addressed.

Attacking a sitting government is Atiku’s pastime. In 2011, after emerging the North’s consensus candidate, he flayed Jonathan on his disregard for zoning thus: “the unity of this country, equity and justice require that existing agreements freely entered into by individuals and groups be respected. This is not a North versus South thing, as some dishonest people

would like to frame it. It is about honour, thrust and fairness. Our words must be our bond. We must learn to respect agreements so that the unity of this country may endure.” The former VP, who described himself as the most experienced contender at the time, also dismissed the former president by saying that Nigeria needed a ‘good leader and not good luck.’

On the economy, he queried: “Why are our budgets not being implemented? Why has the money in our Excess Crude Account disappeared at a time when oil prices have been way above the benchmark used for our budget estimates?

Why are our foreign reserves being depleted… why is this government quickly dragging us to indebtedness after we sacrificed so much to pull ourselves out of debt slavery?”

No doubt, the history of democracy and political development in Nigeria might never be complete without Atiku’s practical insights and experience. A student of General Shehu Yar’Adua’s politics of bridge building, Atiku has mastered the act of surrounding himself with loyalists that cut across all our fault-lines and divides.

When he chose the venue of the presentation of a book that has a bizarre title relating to our ugly past, to pick holes in even the government he helped to power, he left many with divergent interpretations. Is Atiku preparing the ground to contest the presidential elections in 2019? Is he going into alliance with the South-South and South? Is that why he used the occasion to appeal to their base sentiments?

Well, well, well. So many questions. Although the quintessential politician’s comeback will surely elicit mixed reactions or even condemnation, his doggedness and ruggedness are in no doubt.

In the countdown to the 2019 race, time surely will tell if the Turaki is on the march again.

Campaign finance, penalties and monitoring

Eze Onyekpere

Section 91 (10) of the Electoral Act 2010 (as amended) prescribes penalties for candidates who spend money on electioneering, in excess of the ceiling prescribed in the Act. Candidates for presidential, governorship, senatorial, House of Representatives, House of Assembly and chairmanship of a local government and councillorship who violate the ceilings are liable to a fine of N1 million or imprisonment for 12 months or both; 8 months imprisonment or a fine of N800,000 or both; N600,000 or imprisonment for 6 months or both; N500,000 or imprisonment for 5 months or both; N300,000 or 3 months imprisonment or both; and N100,000 or 1 month imprisonment or both, respectively.

In subsection 11 of the same section, any individual who knowingly donates more than N1 million to a candidate acts in contravention of the Act and shall on conviction be liable to a maximum fine of N500,000 or 9 months imprisonment or both. By subsection 12, any accountant who falsifies or conspires or aids a candidate to forge or falsify a document relating to his expenditure at an election or receipt or donation for the election or in any way, aids and abets the breach of the provision of this section of the Act, commits an offence and on conviction is liable to 10 years imprisonment.

A number of issues arise from the foregoing provisions. The first issue is the word “knowingly” used to qualify the commission of the offence. The Black’s Law Dictionary defines ‘knowingly’ as follows: “With knowledge; consciously; intelligently; willfully; intentionally.

An individual acts “knowingly” when he acts with awareness of the nature of his conduct… Act is done “knowingly” or “purposely” if it is willed, is product of conscious design, intent or plan that it will be done, and is done with awareness of probable consequences. A person acts knowingly with respect to a material element of an offense when: (i) if the element involves the nature of his conduct or the attendant circumstances, he is aware that his conduct is of that nature or that such circumstances exist; and (ii) if the element involves a result of his conduct, he is aware that it is practically certain that his conduct will cause such a result… The use of the word in an indictment is equivalent to an averment that the defendant knew what he was about to do, and, with such knowledge, proceeded to do the act charged”.

The point here is that a candidate may deny exceeding the ceiling with full knowledge and

this may create a technicality for the prosecution to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the candidate knowingly spent above the ceiling.

The second issue is that the penalties indicated as fines are paltry, considering the undue advantage expenditures above the ceiling will confer on a candidate. So, a candidate can deliberately make up his mind to violate the provisions and set aside the money to pay the fine. It is on record that no one has been prosecuted or even convicted of the offence of exceeding the limitations, despite available information that candidates are exceeding the ceiling.

The third issue is from subsection 12; any accountant who facilitates the breaking of the law and its concealment bears the greatest brunt of the law – 10 years imprisonment. Although the accountant owes the nation a professional duty, the penalty seems out of proportion to that of other actors in the system. He merely keeps the books and as such should be an accessory to the crime and not a principal offender. He gets a very heavy punishment, while the principal offender gets away with a slap on the wrist.

The fourth and very major issue is the question of operationalising these provisions; how would implementation proceed? Who will bring up evidence to show that a candidate has exceeded the ceiling? Is INEC as presently constituted and resourced in a position to monitor and effectively track campaign finance expenditure?

It appears that a plethora of stakeholders need to be involved to effectively bring up the evidence, whilst INEC needs more resources – human, financial, information, technology, etc. to be able to track campaign finance across the federation from 91 political parties and their candidates.

Also, despite the attempts by the financial regulatory agencies and various laws against money laundering, Nigeria, to a great extent, still runs a cash based economy. It is a notorious fact that many candidates, especially those with deep pockets or incumbents who control public allocations spend above the ceilings provided for candidates in the Electoral Act. Monies do not change hands officially, but behind closed doors and sometimes in the dead of the night where no one, including INEC officials or the security agencies, is watching.

The foregoing creates the need for a stakeholder group – the Political Finance Monitoring Group, which brings various competencies to the table, to be involved in campaign finance monitoring under the leadership of INEC. The

key stakeholder groups include INEC, political parties, the Police, other security agencies including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, the media, academia, National Broadcasting Commission, Nigeria Communications Commission, Code of Conduct Bureau, Central Bank of Nigeria, Financial Intelligence Unit, Inland Revenue Service and civil society organisations. Such a group would meet regularly and the stakeholders will provide an array of information to the group, which can be used for follow up on remedial and enforcement actions. Happily, INEC has by regulation demanded that all candidates should report on their campaign expenditures. It could also ask the candidates and political parties to open dedicated campaign finance bank accounts, which will receive all incomes and through which all expenditures will be made.

All inflows and outflows from such dedicated accounts can be monitored by the CBN, the Financial Intelligence Unit and the relevant security agencies. The Federal Inland Revenue Service should be interested in the tax status of persons who make huge donations to campaigns and political parties; the Broadcasting Commission should be able to give an account of campaign money spent in the electronic media; the Communications Commission will bring information on expenditures that run through the mobile networks. The political parties will be watching each other and make information available on expenditures that run afoul of the rules; civil society and media as watchdogs and pillars of integrity will provide further information to the group, while security agencies will investigate reported breaches.

Political parties have broad membership and are entrenched in communities and as such, will be best suited to provide information and evidence from the grassroots on the extant campaign finance practices of their members and other political parties. The group provides the opportunity to review developments, actions and inactions of various groups, candidates and political parties during the campaigns and election, and call for preventive, remedial or proactive action to curtail the breaches.

A Political Finance Monitoring Group that engages its stakeholders will lead to alliance building, knowledge and information exchange, effective monitoring of campaign finance and evaluation of different available

options of monitoring and enforcement, strengthen accountability and lead to innovations. The PFMG will seek to revive the full implementation of all campaign finance guidelines and regulations issued by INEC, extant standards and Code of Ethics for Political Parties and seek voluntary compliance by political parties and candidates. It will engage the public, increase demand for accountability and generate evidence for the review of campaign finance laws and policies after the elections.

Evidence available from recent and previous elections indicate the increasing use of money to influence voters arising from an impoverished electorate who are in dire straits. No single agency can do the monitoring and enforcement of campaign finance laws alone – INEC or any single agency or stakeholder group. Candidates and parties can be stopped from inducing the electorate, violators of the law need to be prosecuted and punished and in the long run, the laws will be reviewed to become more fit and proper for the Nigerian society.

The fourth issue is the need for an external complaints mechanism which accepts reports from non-governmental organisations, the media and independent whistle blowers, which would complement INEC’s internal monitoring mechanism. Essentially, experts have suggested that: “Any person should be allowed to file a complaint if she or he believes a violation of the Electoral Act has occurred or is about to occur.

The complaint process can require a formal, written document satisfying specific criteria for a proper complaint, or can have a more liberal character, with the enforcement agency taking action based on press articles or informal allegations. Some political finance systems also give the enforcement agency the discretion to act on information it receives anonymously”.

The fifth issue is that the ordinary courts in Nigeria may not be best suited for the prosecution of persons who run afoul of the above ceilings. It is imperative that the Electoral Offences Commission recommended by the Justice Uwais Electoral Reform Committee be set up to inter alia exercise jurisdiction over violations of campaign finance laws.

Finally, laws make sense when they are enforced; otherwise, they would simply be worth no more than the paper on which they were printed. The time to enforce campaign finance ceilings is now.

Editorial Commentary Who will vote for Buhari or Atiku?

Times Guest Columwnist Azu Ishiekwene

Soon after the results of the presidential primaries of the two major parties were announced on Sunday, a friend called me sounding despondent.

He had voted for President Muhammadu Buhari since 2003, and was ecstatic when Buhari finally won at his fourth attempt in 2015.

Three years on, however, he is struggling to give Buhari a C, where C is less than average in security, the economy and the fight against corruption – three major areas where he promised change.

By Buhari’s record, trusting him with another four years would be a dangerous leap of faith.

It’s not just about what he says or what he means by what he says. What he has done, so far, leaves very little confidence that he’s in charge or can be in charge. He is absent.

If the news from the Eagles Square in Abuja where the equivalent of nearly one quarter of the entire voter population in 2015 was said to have endorsed Buhari was cheerless, my friend was not amused by what happened at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

On Sunday night, roughly half the delegates were said to have voted for former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in next year’s election. Atiku has emerged from third place in the last primaries of this former party and his frequent position as wannabein-chief, to flagbearer yet again.

There’s a desperate edge about his quest for compromise and power that hints at a darker, uncomfortable quality about the man. I don’t know what it is, but it’s there – just beneath that veneer of a strategic fighter and a generous heart.

Atiku is not a criminal, whatever anyone might say. But relentless wave after wave of corruption charges made against him since his former boss, President Olusegun Obasanjo, opened the floodgates in 2003 have left him with his head barely above the murky waters.

Besides that, how he and his former boss managed to build their business empires from their supposedly modest incomes and also found money to build some of the best private schools in the country, while the public school system collapsed on their watch, have never been satisfactorily explained.

In short, the only thing starker than Buhari v ‘Goand-get-your PVC’ appears to be Buhari v Atiku.

Yet public analyses of the outcome of the primaries in Abuja and Port Harcourt appear to suggest that the other 24 or so candidates who had also emerged from their parties’ primaries by Sunday, are wasting their time: It will be Buhari v Atiku, period.

Maybe. But just maybe. The figures have not been kind to those, like my friend, fighting off the despondency to accept that it might be a settled fight between Buhari and Atiku. In all four general elections since 2003, the highest number of third candidate vote in a presidential election was 2.6m or 7.4 per cent by Atiku Abubakar who ran on the ticket of the Action Congress of Nigeria in 2007.

And even in that year the gap between him and Goodluck Jonathan who won the election was over 22million votes, while Buhari, who came second, beat Atiku by over four million votes.

The last general election was worse for the third place candidate. The first and second candidates – Buhari and Jonathan – scored nearly 60 per cent of the total valid votes, while the other 12 shared the remaining with the highest among them, Adebayo Ayeni of African Peoples Alliance, scoring only 53,537 votes.

Apart from the historical figures, politics in Nigeria is also structured to make it as prohibitive as possible outside a two-party system. The PDP has, at least in name, remained a constant in the last 20

years, with branches and network right across the farthest parts of the country.

The other two parties that were formed at the same time, the APP and the AD, have, however, morphed and splintered and morphed again with their footprints in the ruling APC and their shells strewn about the different franchises of both the opposition PDP and a dozen other parties.

What we see, at least in form, if not in substance, are two main parties that have used their access to power over the years to entrench themselves, in spite of their woeful performance. While they have yielded to pressure by making cosmetic changes to open up the space they have also ensured that it would be easier for water to run up the hill than it would be to create a level playing field for new parties outside the two main parties.

That’s why even though we have 26 presidential candidates and over 85 parties compared with 14 presidential candidates and 68 parties four years ago, we still appear stuck with Tweedle-dee and Tweedledum.

Yet, it may not be business as usual. Why? Whatever the final number of registered voters, my guess is that two things would happen: 1) voter apathy may be higher than it was four years ago, and 2) there would be a much higher number of undecided voters right down to the wire.

Buhari’s poor performance has created a large army of discontented voters who had flocked to register in the hope that the PDP – or any alliance of other parties – might produce a candidate that would be a genuine departure from the hubris of the last 19 years.

That this particular group is unhappy with Buhari does not necessarily mean that they see Atiku as alternative.

How can millions of young people stage a campaign for years calling for greater inclusion after getting a half-hearted legislative amendment that lowers the barrier to run for key political offices, only to be confronted with the grim prospect of two candidates over 70, both from the major parties, vying for the highest office in the land?

How can millions of youths who have been plainly disenchanted by the fickleness and lack of scruples shown by shameless party jumpers queue up on election day to vote for the same politicians, one way or the other?

How can youths be motivated to vote for Buhari who offhandedly called them “lazy”, even though he has fully lived a life of entitlement, or Atiku whose public life they can barely use as a moral compass? How? The prospects are truly daunting. If less than 50 per cent of the registered voters turned out in 2015 when Buhari was supposed to be the prince in shining armour, my guess is that his poor performance, coupled with the controversial outcome of the elections in Ekiti and Osun states, could lead to voter apathy, at least in the presidential election.

And swathes of those not completely put off may be keeping their voter card close to their chest looking for who to vote for among the 24 candidates of the other parties.

It’s a moment of opportunity which, given the limitation of time and resources, the smaller, newer parties can only seize by combining their strengths and presenting a common front, possibly in a loose coalition.

That’s the only way to save the presidential race from becoming another pathetic, miserable two-way race.

OUR POSITION

CJN and hearing of cases

I

n an effort to speed up the dispensation of justice, the Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, recently directed that any case fixed for hearing before the Supreme Court must be heard and determined one way or the other on that date.

The policy, as announced by the CJN, is deliberately targeted at the speedy dispensation of justice while a new apex court publication is to encourage lawyers to take advantage of the initiative and ensure they adequately prepare ahead of hearings to avoid any delays.

Appeals would be heard and judgements delivered as necessary and in accordance with the Rules of the Court. Consequently, the situation would leave no room for unnecessary adjournments arising from lack of diligent prosecution, poor preparations or non-appearance by lawyers.

What this indicates, according to the CJN, is “that any matter that is assigned a date must be heard and determined one way or the other on that date”, ‘’For appeals that may be discovered to have defects, Counsel is advised to take necessary steps to amend such defects before the due hearing date while everyone must come to the court fully prepared for the business of the day,’’ the CJN added.

We wish to submit that the policy will help utilise man hours lost to incessant adjournments of cases and probably clear the backlog of pending appeal cases. There are no available data indicating how many cases suffer adjournment on daily basis at the apex court, but an adjournment of a single case has multiple adverse effects on the judiciary.

First, it frustrates speedy dispensation of justice the country has been craving for. Secondly, adjournment help lawyers to frustrate cases for their clients who desperately want to hang a bad cases. In essence,

this policy would arrest this ugly trend that have become a clog in the wheel of justice.

With thousands of pending appeal cases that filled the Supreme Court diary to the brim and appeals set down for hearing up to the year 2021, no measure should be spare in addressing the issue of delay.

We are of the opinion that the CJN has done the right things because the delay in justice delivery has become a major problem of the judiciary that has continue to rob it of public confidence.

We therefore appeal to stakeholders particularly lawyers, litigants and heads of other courts to embrace the laudable initiative of the CJN and ensure that the policy works.

CJN Onnoghen has earned our commendation for the remarkable steps being taken to guarantee speedy dispensation of justice and no stone should be left unturned in implementing the policy.

Court strikes out suit challenging judges’ arrest Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Federal High Court Abuja Division on Thursday struck out a legal action instituted against President Muhammadu Buhari and five others to challenge the October 8, 2016, arrest and detention of two Supreme Court Justices and four others by the operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS).

Others sued along with President Buhari on the issue are, Director General of DSS, DSS, Attorney General of the Federation, AGF, Inspector General of Police (IGP) and National Judicial Council (NJC).

Plaintiff in the suit who is an Abuja based legal practitioner and Human right activities, Olukoya Ogungbeje had dragged Buhari and five others before the court, challenging the legality of the arrest and detention of the judicial officers as well as confiscation of their properties including monies.

He prayed the court to declare the arrest and detention as unlawful, illegal and a breach of the fundamental rights of the judicial officers and also asked the court

to award a whopping sum of N50BN in favour of the judges for the humiliation they suffered as a result of the arrest.

Besides, the plaintiff urged the court for an order of perpetual injunction, restraining the defendants, their agents and privies from further arresting, intimidating, harassing, inviting, humiliating, detaining, forceful invasion of the residential houses or disturbing the judicial officers in any unlawful manners.

However, the president and the AGF, filed a preliminary objection, challenging the (locus standi) right of the plaintiff to institute the court action without the consent of the affected judicial officers.

The two defendants in the objection raised by their counsel, Habiba Chime, urged the court to strike out the plaintiff’s suit on the grounds that he did not disclose what he personally suffered by way of injury on the issue that brought about his suit.

Also, they told the court that the plaintiff’s action is malicious, frivolous, vexatious, lacking in merit and constituted and abuse of the civil process of the court.

Similar objection was also raised by the DSS and its DG, who also argued that the plaintiff lacked legal capacity to institute

the case and urged the court to strike out the case with substantial cost.

In the judgment prepared by Justice Gabriel Kolawole before he was elevated to Court of Appeal bench that was delivered by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, the court agreed with the defendants that the plaintiff lacked locus standi to institute the court action on behalf of the judicial officers without their consent.

Justice Kolawole said that the plaintiff was unable to persuade him that he has the locus standi to fight the battle of the affected judges, who are still alive and have no disability to approach the court to enforce their rights which the conduct of the DSS and its DG had breached by their arrest, detention and confiscation of their properties.

The judge however disagreed that the plaintiff was abusy bodied but a legal practitioner who is generally concerned as the entire of lawyers under the aegis of the Nigerian Bar Association had expressed its disapproval to the Gestapo style and barbaric tactics deployed by the DSS operatives without recourse to the NJC to assault the base of the independence of the judiciary as the 3rd arm of government by their actions of October 8, 2016.

TSSAN Chairman tasks VIPs to respect aviation rules in Nigerian airports Mr Samuel Wuyep, Chairman, Air Transport Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSAN), Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja Branch, has appealed to top Nigerian Government officials and other VIPs to always obey airport laws.

Speaking with journalists in Abuja on Thursday, Wuyep lamented that airport staff were often being attacked by top government officials, who usually break rules.

He wondered why the Nigerian elites find it difficult to observe standard procedures and practices as it was done globally, adding that the VIPs often feel offended when asked to observe rules.

ATSSAN Chairman disclosed that many top officials saw it as an affront on their personality when asked to remove their shoes and belt before passing through security scanners by a security officer.

According to him, they don’t like to respect simple instructions of aviation procedures.

“They don’t always like to remove their shoes and belts as the screening procedure demands and anytime you ask them to do so based on standard operational procedure, they would feel you are embarrassing them.

A Consultant Ophthalmologist, Dr Modupe Idris, says staying on computer for long hours can cause Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) and also lead to visual impairments later in life.

Idris, who is the Head, Department of Ophthalmology, Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja, made the assertion in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Lagos.

She spoke against the backdrop of the World Sight Day marked annually on Oct. 11.

“CVS can cause dryness of the eyes and prickly sensation in the eyes, because when you are on your system you stare.

“Now, when you go on like that for a few seconds without blinking, the outermost part of the eye gets dry, which causes the vision to become blurry and prickly, “ the opthalmologist said.

She said it was common, especially among young people, including students in both secondary and tertiary institutions to stay long hours on the computer.

According to Idris, this habit has resulted in many young people having issues with their vision.

“We have been seeing more cases of young people having visual impairments, because everything is now computerised.

Reps to FG: Trace whereabouts Short News Reps approve NASS Sergeant– of 17,000 missing persons at-Arms to bear arms Henry Omunu, Abuja

The House of Representatives on Thursday challenged the federal government and relevant security agencies to exhaust all lawful means in tracing the whereabouts of all missing persons estimated at 17, 000 with 7, 000 being children.

The call is consequent upon the adoption of the motion sponsored

by Representative Edward Pwajok, seeking the investigation of the crises in the northern parts of Plateau state as well as an end to the indiscriminate arrest of civilians by the army.

Pwajok in his lead debate said that the recent escalation of the crisis in the northern parts of Plateau state is worrisome and expressed concern that the unending violence has assumed an alarming dimension with violent attacks on communities which has led to the loss of lives and property, forceful occupation of ancestral lands and displacement of

thousands of citizens.

He added that even security personnel are also casualties of these attacks, stating that many have been gruesomely killed through acts of terrorism.

According to him, there are reports of mass arrest of residents of Du area extending up to Rayfield, the breaking into houses of citizens without search warrants, stoppage and mishandling of motorists on the road by soldiers.

“There are reports that many of the people, including pregnant women and the aged were and are being arrested and taken to Rukuba Barracks of the 3rd Armoured Division of the Nigeria Army for interrogation with some of them spending many days there,” the lawmaker said.

Pwajok maintained that the fear and tension pervading some communities in Jos South Local Government has led to citizens fleeing their homes due to reports of army brutality, a development he

said jeopardizes efforts at gathering intelligence required to find missing persons and exposing criminals.

He posited that ethnic profiling and labelling of some ethnic groups as terrorists defeats the intent and purpose of crime fighting and stressed the need for security agencies and the government to act within the law and respect the constitutionally guaranteed fundamental human rights of citizens.

Adopting the motion, the House condemned the attacks in Plateau state and called on the federal government to put a stop to the killings, attacks and kidnapping in the state.

It also urged the government, community/religious leaders and citizens to be genuinely committed to the reconciliation and peace process just as it mandated its committees on army, defence, police and human rights to ensure compliance and report back within two weeks.

Henry Omunu, Abuja The House of Representatives on Thursday approved for the procurement and bearing of firearms by Sergeant-at-Arms of the National Assembly.

The resolution was sequel to the adoption of a motion of urgent national importance sponsored by Ossai Ossai representing (PDP/ Delta) in order to guard against the future invasion of the National Assembly.

Ossai while moving the motion for the need to allow the Sergeant-at -Arms to procure and bear arms, said that it was the universal practice for those charged with the security of legislative institutions to bear arms.

According to Ossai, it has become necessary following the increasing security threats against the National Assembly.

The lawmaker stated that in other democratic nations in the world, Sergeant-At-Arms carry arms and that the National Assembly security personnel cannot operate in isolation.

Buhari, APC are hypocrites - Atiku campaign team Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Atiku Campaign Organisation has described both President Muhammad Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) as hypocrites for disparaging Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Buhari and the APC were said to have several times in the past praised Atiku as an exemplary Nigerian as against recent uncultured habit of hurling insults and casting aspersions on Atiku immediately he emerged as PDP presidential flag bearer

The media Organisation in a statement on Thursday noted with nostalgia past praise and validation of Atiku, wondering what has change between then and now “On December 22, 2014, President Muhammadu Buhari declared that Atiku Abubakar is “an inspiration” who has done a “great service”.

Today, the Presidency is singing a different tune. How can Nigeria be stable economically and politically if the President cannot be counted to stick to his words?

“On December 21, 2014, the All Progressives Congress issued a statement describing HE Atiku as a “special gift” and “an asset”. Today,

the same party is hurling invective on the man they once celebrated as an exemplary citizen. Is this two faced the type of example they want to give to Nigerians?

“Moreover, on December 19, 2014, the All Progressives Congress praised HE Atiku as an “agent of change”. Now that Atiku Abubakar is on the brink of effecting the promised change that the APC failed to implement, they have ‘changed’ and now call him all sorts of negative names”, it was pointed out.

The organisation urged the Presidency, the Buhari Campaign Organisation and the All Progressives Congress, to stick to issues.

With less than 127 days to 2019 general election, the European Ambassador to Nigeria and ECOWAS Mr. Ketil Karlsen has called on Nigerian youths to participate fully in politics.

Speaking during a one day interactive section with students of Modibbo Adama University of Technology, Yola on Thursday, Karlsen the essence of democracy will be defeated if youths participation is lacking.

While calling on the Nigerian youths register and vote in the forth coming general election, the EU ambassador noted that good Democratic process guarantee job creation, good health care, infrastructural development, quality education among others.

On his part, Adamawa state Resident Commissioner, Kassim Gaidam in his good will message revealed that about 60% of the total registered votes for the 2019 general election were the youths.

APC sweeps Plateau Council polls Kingsley Chukwuka, Jos The All Progressives Congress (APC), has won 11 out of the 13 local government areas where elections held in the just concluded Council polls in Plateau state.

Mr Fabian Ntung, the Chairman, Plateau State Independent Electoral Commission (PLASIEC) who announced the result of the election on Thursday said that APC won 11 out of the 13 local government areas in the state.

The Electoral Commissioner however declared the results of two local governments, Langtang North and Mangu inconclusive.

Reacting to the development, the Plateau State Chairman of People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Mr Danishi Sango faulted the entire process which according to him was marred with irregularities.

What MKO Abiola told me to tell Kingibe – Ireti Kingibe Hajiya Ireti Kingibe, former wife of one-time Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Babagana Kingibe, has denied that her husband abandoned MKO Abiola at the height of the struggle to validate the result of the June 12 election.

Ireti Kingibe said in the current edition of The Interview magazine, adding that it was, in fact, Abiola who left her former husband in the cold.

In her first major interview 25 years after former military President, General Ibrahim Babangida, annulled the election, Ireti Kingibe said: “In truth, Baba Kingibe only went to see Abiola and found out that Abiola had left the country. And when Abiola called from abroad, it was me he got.”

She continued: “Those days we had landlines. Baba (Kingibe) was not at home.

I picked up the phone and he (Abiola) said to me in Yoruba that I should tell my husband that a bird does not tell another bird that a stone is coming. So, when Baba came back, I said Abiola called and this is the message he left for you.

“Baba said to me, ‘did he call to apologise?’ I said no, he did not call to

apologise. He just gave an explanation or a rationalisation for his action and this is what he said. He said, ‘no, no! You didn’t understand his Yoruba well.’

“I said you can go and find out from anybody.”

Ireti Kingibe said Abiola ignored her husband’s advice to land in Kano because of the perception that was fast gaining ground that he was “a Yoruba president”.

She portrayed her husband as “a hostage” of the government of the former military head of state, General Sani Abacha, saying he was miserable throughout and only gained his freedom after Abacha’s death.

Saying she shared the family’s dilemma at the time with Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, she added, that, “It was either Kingibe would stay in Abacha’s government or Abacha was going to bury him alive.”

Responding to criticisms that her former husband did not deserve the national honour of Grand Commander of the Order of the Niger (GCON) granted to him earlier in the year because he betrayed Abiola, Ireti Kingibe said such criticisms were “unfair.”

The MD/Editor-In-Chief of The Interview magazine, Azu Ishiekwene, described the edition as, “a ringside account by a woman who has been in the vortex of Nigeria’s power play since 1976, when former military head of state, General Murtala Mohammed, who was her elder sister Ajoke’s husband, was killed in a violent coup attempt.”

Ireti Kingibe, who is running for the sole senatorial seat on the platform of the All Progressives Congresd (APC) in the Federal Capital Territory, also spoke on her relationship with President Muhammadu Buhari and the role of women in politics.

Also, in this edition, the maverick senator who once represented Zamfara Central, Malam Saidu Dansadau, has said Buhari’s time is up, promising that he would be removed from office in February next year, through what he described as the “Macron wave.”

The Nigerian teacher whose school produced the best A-level result in the UK this year, Dr. Dayo Olukoshi and an alumnus of the Young African Leadership Initiative, Saidat Shonoiki, spoke at length in this issue.

Short News ADC declares Olufemi Lanlehin Oyo governorship candidate Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja The National Working Committee of the African Democratic Congress (ADC) has declared Senator Olufemi Lanlehin as the governorship candidate of the party in Oyo State for the 2019 election.

The Chairman, Screening and Primary Committee, Barr. Peter Oyewole, who announced the governorship candidate, said Lanlehin emerged after a keenly contested primary involving 13 aspirants.

He said the keenly contested election, involving so many qualified aspirants, where other parties could hardly find one, and earlier discordant tunes within the party, showed that ADC was the party to beat in the Oyo State 2019 governorship election.

On his part, the National Chairman of the party, Chief Ralphs Nwosu, said he was happy that ADC had produced a strong candidate in Lanlehin, pointing out that all leaders and members of the party at the state and national levels were united on the choice.

“I call on great members of our great party to support our governorship candidate in the interest of the party and the good people of Oyo State. Ours is a very vibrant party, as shown by the intense activities surrounding the primary in the state.

Amosun named TAMPAN Man of the Year Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State has been named by the Theatre Arts and Motion Pictures Producers Association of Nigeria (TAMPAN), as the TAMPAN Man of the Year.

Receiving the award during the 3rd National Convention of the association, held in Abeokuta on Thursday, the governor promised to do more for the state and theatre arts, adding that, “the reward of hard work is more work and this will spur me to do more.”

Amosun, who described Ogun State as the root of theatre arts in Nigeria, appreciated the association for bringing the convention “back home.”

The governor revealed that his government is to provide a 50-hectare film village as well as museums, in memory of great giants, including in late Fela AnikulapoKuti and late Herbert Ogunde, amongst other indigenes of the state.

Thanking entertainment practitioners for being worthy partners in his government’s rebuilding mission, he urged them not to relent in their support for his government.

He pledged to deliver more on his electioneering campaign promises, even as the tenure of his government will soon expire.

Earlier in his address, the President of TAMPAN, Prince Dele Odule, said, “We have decided to honour him with this award, because he has changed the face of Ogun State and has proven to love the state and the theatre industry dearly.”

Enugu indigenes in Kogi transfer voter’s cards for Ugwunayi’s re-election Moses Oyediran, Enugu Thousands of Enugu State indigenes, who reside and registered with the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Kogi State, have transferred their voter’s cards to Enugu to enable them vote for Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi in the forthcoming governorship election.

The elated indigenes of Enugu State, who paid a solidarity visit to Gov. Ugwuanyi at the Government House, Enugu, disclosed that their decision was in recognition of the governor’s “exceptional performance in office” and the need to give him the opportunity to complete the good works he has started in the state.

They promised not only to return home during the forthcoming elections to vote massively for Gov. Ugwuanyi, but also to mobilize their relations and other dependants to equally vote for the governor, expressing delight that he has attracted development to their various communities.

Presenting their stance, the leader of the delegation and President of the Association of Enugu Sate Indigenes in Kogi State, Chief Joseph Anikwe, stated that members of the group were impressed with “the prevailing atmosphere of peace, tranquility and progress in our dear Enugu State”.

They added that they were also satisfied and proud that the governor serves God faithfully and cares for the people, especially the less privileged “through various people-oriented programmes and laudable development projects equitably spread across the wards, communities, local government areas and senatorial districts of the state”.

The Enugu indigenes equally commended Gov. Ugwuanyi for effective and efficient management of the state’s meager resources to undertake massive infrastructural development in every nook and cranny of the state.

They stressed that the governor has transformed the education sector; maintained peace and security; improved the civil servants’ welfare through regular payment of salaries and retirees’ pensions including the 13th month salary;

provided good healthcare delivery, and maintained a very cordial relationship with various leaders in the state, through inclusive governance, among others.

While expressing their “firm support and unalloyed loyalty” to the governor’s “dynamic, purposeful and grassroots oriented administration”, the Enugu indigenes, unanimously endorsed him for a second term in office, saying that “this visit is to add our voice to the clamour for you to return for a second term”.

“Your Excellency, it is in view of all the above that we have paid this visit, not only to declare our full support for your second term in office, but also to carry the good message to our various domains to ensure that we cast our votes for you during the forthcoming elections, for the people to continue to enjoy the dividends of democracy under your good leadership”, they declared.

Gov. Ugwuanyi, who thanked the state’s indigenes for the solidarity visit and support, described them as worthy ambassadors of Enugu State and urged them to continue to pray for the success of the state and his administration.

An Abuja High Court has restrained the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from accepting the name of any other person other than Senator Hope Uzodimma as winner of the Imo State governorship primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) which held on October 1, 2018.

Justice O. A. Musa who gave the order on Tuesday, also restrained INEC (2nd Respondent) in the case from processing or publishing the “name of any other candidate except Senator Uzodimma from the APC as the governorship candidate for Imo State primary election for 2019” pending the determination of the substantive suit on the matter.

Uzodimma through his lawyer, Joe Agi (SAN) had approached the court seeking an order to restrain the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Conducting fresh or re-conducting another governorship primary for Imo State APC and INEC from monitoring or purporting to monitor any fresh primaries or re-conduct primaries by the APC in Imo State.

‘ E xe c u t i v e O r d e r 8 w i l l e n d financial impropriety’ The Special Adviser to the President on Justice Reform, Mrs Juliet IbekakuNwagwu, says the Executive Order 8 signed by President Muhammadu Buhari will serve a death knell on money laundering.

Ibekaku-Nwagwu, who is the candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for Enugu West Senatorial Zone, said this in a statement in Enugu on Thursday.

She said that the bold step by the president needed to be commended by friends and citizens of the country as it had served quit notices to financial impropriety and tax evasion.

The presidential aide said the move was another clear indication that the president was determined to reposition the country on the path of sustainable recovery.

She urged the president to remain focused and steadfast in his efforts in spite of the activities of a few individuals that were short-changing the country.

“Mr President is very determined to reposition the country on the path of a sustainable economic recovery.

“He has displayed the determination and willingness, bearing in mind that those who have been short-changing the country will want to frustrate this effort,” she said.

L-R: Marketing Manager, Malta Guinness and APNADS, Omotola Bamigbaiye-Elatuyi; Executive Chairman, Phillips Consulting, Mr Folusho Phillips; Dr Michael Omolayole and Marketing and Innovations Director, Innovation, Lager, Consumer Connections and APNADS, Jodi Samuels-Ike, at the 34th Omolayole management lecture in Lagos.

The Edo Internal Revenue Service has said that the innovative technology-based Edo Revenue Administration System (ERAS) would create no fewer than 5,000 new jobs.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of EIRS, Mr. Igbinidu Inneh, on Thursday, said that the technology-driven revenue collection scheme would automate revenue collection process from data capture, profiling, assessment generation and notification to cashless settlement.

Inneh noted that it would require the deployment of persons to serve as distributors, sub-distributors, retailers, and enumerators across the 192 wards in the state.

According to Inneh, “the ERAS will boost Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) for the state by expanding the tax net and enhancing payment convenience for citizens.”

According to Inneh, the deployment of innovative technology-based revenue administration scheme will require the services of dealers, sub-dealers, retail personnel of the dealers and enumerators as partners for collection of taxes, levies and charges from residents, business premises, operators of heavy vehicles which include trucks, buses, taxis, tricycles, among others.”

IMF, World Bank launch blueprint for harnessing Fintech’s opportunities Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group Thursday, launched the Bali Fintech Agenda, a set of 12 policy elements aimed at helping member countries to harness the benefits and opportunities of rapid advances in financial technology that are transforming the provision of banking services, while at the same time managing the inherent risks.

The Agenda proposes a framework of highlevel issues that countries should consider in their own domestic policy discussions and aims to guide staff from the two institutions in their own work and dialogue with national authorities. The 12 elements were distilled from members’ own experiences and cover topics relating broadly to enabling fintech; ensuring financial sector resilience; addressing risks; and promoting international cooperation.

“There are an estimated 1.7 billion adults in the world without access to financial services,” said IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde. “Fintech can have a major social and economic impact for them and across the membership in general. All countries are trying to reap these benefits, while also mitigating the risks. We need greater international cooperation to achieve that, and to make sure the fintech revolution benefits the many and not just the few. This Agenda provides a useful framework for countries to assess their policy options and adapt them to their own circumstances and priorities.”

“The Bali Fintech Agenda provides a framework to support the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in lowincome countries, where access to financial services is low,” World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim said. “Countries are demanding deeper access to financial markets, and the World Bank Group will focus on delivering fintech solutions that enhance financial services, mitigate risks, and achieve stable,

inclusive economic growth.”

Mrs. Lagarde and Dr. Kim presented the Agenda in a panel discussion today during the Annual Meetings in Bali. They were joined

by Sri Mulyani Indrawati, Minister of Finance of Indonesia; Lesetja Kganyago, Governor of the South African Reserve Bank; and Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England and Chair of the Financial Stability Board.

With their near universal membership, the Fund and the Bank, are well positioned to gather information from all countries and to reflect on their respective needs and objectives at various levels of economic and technological development. They both also offer a forum for sharing the experience of countries that are not members of international standard-setting bodies on issues such as combating money laundering and terrorism financing, market integrity, and consumer protection. The Financial Stability Board and several other international standard-setters have been reviewing the implications of fintech developments and

have indicated regulation and supervision priorities.

The IMF and World Bank will start developing specific work programs on fintech, as the nature and scope of their members’ needs become clearer, in response to the Bali Fintech Agenda.

The IMF’s initial focus will be on the implications for national and global monetary and financial stability; and the evolution of the International Monetary System and global financial safety net.

In response to the Bali Fintech Agenda, the World Bank will focus on using fintech to deepen financial markets, enhance responsible access to financial services, and improve cross-border payments and remittance transfer systems. The Bank will draw on the International Finance Corporation’s growing experience in this area. The Agenda contributes to building the foundations of the digital economy that is a key pillar in the World Bank Group’s larger disruptive technologies engagement.

MMA2 shutdown: Dana Air loses over N100m in 2 days Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo Following the siege at the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2)by three unions in the aviation industry over labour issues, the management of Dana Air lamented that it has lost over N100M in the last two days.

The spokesman for the airline, Mr Kingsley Ezenwa in a statement said, the continue closure of the terminal by the unions could force the airline to downsize.

According to Ezenwa, many air travellers

have missed their flights as a result of the dispute between aviation unions and BiCourtney Aviation Services Limited (BASL), operators of the Murtala Muhammed Airport 2 (MMA2).

“While operating our first flight out of Lagos from MMA2, we made alternative arrangement and moved our operations temporarily to the General Aviation terminal (GAT).

“Our worst fear however is, if the terminal will be able to process the number of passengers when there is a coincidence in flight schedule with over 8 airlines having to

operate from the General Aviation Terminal at the moment” Dana management appealed to the parties involved to resolve the dispute in consideration of the passengers all in the industry stressing that without the passengers, there will not be any airline, regulator or industry.

“For now, we have lost over N100m to the ongoing action and losing such money in an industry where airlines are still grappling with a myriad of challenges is unacceptable and disappointing to say the least. We do not know how the situation will be in the coming days and we might have no other option than

to downsize if the action stretches for too long” While apologising to passengers for the inconveniences caused by the action, Dana Air management reassured them of commitment to continue to offer the best of service at all times.

Three unions, National Union of Air Transport Employees, Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria and National Association Aircraft Pilots and Engineers Tuesday laid siege at the MMA2 following the sack of workers that voluntarily joined unions in the industry.

He noted that associated revenues to be collected will include: haulage, waste management, log control, presumptive taxes, and produce, adding that the innovative solution system is delivered as part of the strategic institutional transformation of the EIRS and feeds off the governor’s objective to transform the state into an innovation hub.

The EIRS boss said that enumerators have been engaged and deployed to collect data of tax payers in the 18 local government areas of the state. adding that, “the current tax base which grew within weeks of testing ERAS from just about 190,000 to over 250,000, will double within the first six months of operations and to one million within two years.”

He added: “The following revenue streams, Personal Income Taxes (PAYE and Direct Assessment), Withholding Tax, Land Use Charges, Consumption Tax, Vehicle Administration, Vehicle Insurance Policy Assurance, Business Premises (Regulations, Management and Control), Lottery Regulations, Stamp duties and other MDA services will be administered by the system.”

LASACO Assurance sets for N10bn additional capital, targets Tier one Motolani Oseni LASACO Assurance PLC has said it was planning to raise additional N10 billion capital through its existing and new shareholders as part of its plan to be a Tier One player by the time the new Tier-Based Minimum Solvency Capital(TBMSC) of the insurance industry fully takes off.

This, according to the company, done through public offer, special placement or right issues and preference shares.

Already, the Insurance firm has N5 billion from its existing 10 billion shares, with plan to create additional 10 billion shares at 50 kobo per share, translating to a new N5 billion to be raised through public offer, special placement or right issues.

Moreover, LASACO Assurance intends to raise another additional N5 billion from its proposed 10 million preferential shares at N500 per share, thereby, bringing the expected funds to be raised to a total of N10 billion.

Speaking at the Extra Ordinary General Meeting(EGM) of the Assurance firm in Lagos, Its Chairman, Mrs. Aderinola Disu, said the Tier-based recapitalisation exercise being initiated by the National Insurance Commission(NAICOM) was responsible for the move of the company to upgrade its capital base to be able to play in the top echelon of the insurance sector of the economy.

To this end, she said, the insurer is planning to raise addition capital through issuance of up to 10 billion ordinary shares of 50 kobo per share.

Afreximbank urges Guinean banks to adopt new Trade Facilitation Programme Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has taken its recently-introduced Afreximbank Trade Facilitation Programme (AFTRAF) to Guinean banks, advising representatives of the Guinean banking sector that the programme will lead to improved support from Afreximbank.

Speaking during an interactive session in Conakry, the Afreximbank delegation said that AFTRAF would allow the Bank to increase its intervention capability, expand correspondent banking relationships and improve trade operations.

Ismael Kamara, Manager in Trade Finance, said that the local banks could use the confirmation guarantee facility to expand their correspondent banking relationships, adding that Afreximbank would ensure that the pricing for the programme was competitive.

AFTRAF, which is structured to enhance confidence of counterparties in the settlement of international trade transactions, support intra-African trade and facilitate purchase of equipment for production of export goods, was developed by Afreximbank in response to the increasing derisking of African banks due to stringent compliance and regulatory requirements imposed by international banks.

The roadshow was part of a strategy to allow Afreximbank expand its coverage of Africa and to onboard Guinean banks to AFTRAF.

At the event, Prof. Osinbajo will also inaugurates the International Advisory Board (IAB) of Oxford University’s African Studies Centre, under the School of Global and Area Studies (OSGA). Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity (Office of the Vice President) on Thursday, stated that members of the board are eminent leaders from across the world including several African countries like Nigeria and South Africa. The members of the board to be inaugurated by the Nigerian Vice President include Mr Tito Mboweni, an international advisor of Goldman Sachs, and former Chairman of the South African Reserve Bank, who will chair the board; Madame Monica Geingos, First Lady of Namibia, lawyer and entrepreneur; Professor Ibrahim Gambari, former UN Under-Secretary for Political Affairs, one-time Nigeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations and former

Others are Mr Gareth Ackerman, Chairman of Pick’n Pay, South Africa; Mr. Alex Duncan, Director and Consultant Economist, The Policy Practice, Brighton, United Kingdom; Mr Ivor Agyeman-Duah – Economist and author, Accra, Ghana; Governor Nasir El-Rufai, Governor of Kaduna State, Nigeria and Ms. Linda MabhenaOlagunju, founder and Managing Director, DLO Energy Group (Pty) Ltd, South Africa.

Roger Goodman; Head, Oxford School of Global & Area Studies, Tim Powers and the Director of the African Studies Center, Prof. Wale Adebanwi. During the lecture, Prof. Osinbajo would highlight the progress made by the Buhari administration in improving the country’s Human Capital development indices and investment climate, as well as the widespread impact of the National Social Investment Programmes (N-SIP). The N-Power Volunteer Corps, which is a part of the N-SIP, and has so far provided employment for 500,000 young Nigerian graduates, demonstrates the commitment

of the Federal Government to invest in the human capital development of Nigerian citizens, particularly the young people. Also, the N-SIP includes schemes such as the Conditional Cash Transfer, which has helped lift thousands of the poorest Nigerians out of poverty, through the provision of N5,000 monthly stipends; the TraderMoni, which provides collateral & interest-free loans from N10,000 to petty traders nationwide, among other initiatives of the Buhari administration. Besides, there is also the Homegrown School Feeding programme which provides one free meal a day to over 9 million primary school pupils, thereby boosting school enrichment and also addressing stunting concerns among young Nigerians of school age. Only last week, Prof. Osinbajo presided over a meeting of the National Economic Council’s Human Capital Development Core Working Group on Wednesday at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, and reiterated Buhari administration’s commitment to accelerate human capital development in the country. According to the VP, “lifting our people out of poverty is a crucial agenda towards attaining intended developmental outcomes.” The Vice President leaves for London this afternoon and is expected back in Abuja on Sunday.

Courtney, Unions’ face-off: Airlines move operations to GAT Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo As the siege on MMA2 by unions in the aviation industry enters into day two, airlines have moved their operations to the General Aviation Terminal (GAT) on the orders of the union.

The Daily Times gathered that most of the airlines were still counting their losses after Thursday’s siege.

Air Transport Services Senior Staff Association of Nigeria (ATSSSAN), the National Union of Air Transport Employees (NUATE) and the National Association of Aircraft Pilots and Engineers (NAAPE) on ground Thursday, blocking the entrance to the terminal.

The unions disrupted passengers

travel, crippled the operations of airlines like Aero Contractors, Dana Air, MaxAir who operate from the terminal, banks operation from the terminal as well as auxiliary businesses like the entries and gift shops around.

The unions had left the MMA2 terminal at around 6pm Wednesday after arriving by 6am and are back as early as 6:30am Thursday which was worse, barricading the entrance with a truck.

ATSSSAN Deputy General Secretary, Comrade Frances Akinjole yesterday confirmed to the media that the picketing would continue warning that any attempt to truncate the action by BASL will meet stiff resistance.

Airlines like Dana Air confirmed through its spokesman, Kingsley Ezenwa,

a temporal move to the General Aviation Terminal ( GAT) managed by the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, (FAAN) to our correspondent.

Dana Air, Med-View Airlines Plc, Azman Airlines, Aero Contractors and Max Air who counted their losses on Wednesday may have made the choice to move to avoid further loss to their businesses FAAN through its official tweeter handle @FAAN_Official, announced Thursday that the GAT was not affected by the ongoing protest and advised airport users to arrive early for check-in formalities.

General Manager, Corporate Affairs for FAAN, Mrs. Henrietta Yakubu who confirmed the movement of airlines, told

our correspondent that all the airlines have moved but Aero does check-ins from its terminal while arrival is at the GAT. She also said cleaners and others that take care of the airport are on top of their game and are handling the GAT facility adequately.

She said: “Our facility is capable of handling more passengers and there is no cause for alarm. AVSEC are on top of security matters at the terminal having given assurance that the traffic will be handled.

She also said the car park, shops at the facility are all getting more patronage due to the traffic surge.

The unions and management of BASL had gone far in negotiations to reinstates

the 20 sacked workers and forestall the industrial action only for BASL to rescind providing a counter offer and demanding that the NCAA which had almost brokered peace between the parties was removed from the negotiation table.

BASL had on Tuesday issued a statement that a Federal High Court sitting in Lagos granted an order restraining the unions from disrupting the operations of the Murtala Muhammed Airport Terminal Two (MMA2).

That however, did not stop the action as the status quo still remained with passengers having to head to GAT to catch their flights while MMA2 remained on lockdown.

CACOL urges EFCC to probe allegations of fraud against Oshiomhole Stories by Patrick Okohue The Centre for Anti-Corruption and Open Leadership (CACOL) has urged the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission to investigate allegations of fraud leveled against the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole.

This was contained in a press release issued by Ikenna Aghagbobi, CACOL’s Media and Publications Officer on behalf of its Executive

Chairman, Mr. Debo Adeniran.

According to the CACOL boss: “Our call is based on a suit which was reportedly filed by Bishop Osadolor Ochei alleging that Oshiomhole while in office as Edo State governor, acquired property in United States of America, South Africa and Dubai worth billions of US dollars and far in excess of his legitimate income.

He also alleged before the court that the ex-governor built a sprawling mansion worth more than N10b in his home town, Iyamho, Edo State while in office.

Ekiti APC senatorial aspirant urges party to reverse imposition of candidates or face protest vote An All Progressives Congress (APC) senatorial aspirant in Ekiti State, Dr. Olusegun Osinkolu, has warned that the party risks losing Ekiti State to the opposition during the 2019 election, if it failed to address alleged infractions that dogged the just-concluded primaries in the state.

Osinkolu, a senatorial aspirant in Ekiti North district, urged the Prof. Osarhiemen Osunbor-led APC Appeal Primary panel to be painstaking in its duty and attend to all petitions sent by the aggrieved aspirants to prevent disunity ahead of the poll.

He urged the panel to reverse the primary that produced Senator Olubunmi Adetumbi as the APC senatorial candidate in Ekiti North, describing the candidate’s victory as a product of fraud and that such may jeopardise the chances of the party unless justice prevailed in the matter.

Speaking with newsmen in Ado-Ekiti on Thursday, Osinkolu insisted that the Dr. Ibrahim Suleled National Working Committee on Ekiti National Assembly primaries allegedly compromised the primary by failing to conduct election in the district.

He challenged the committee to produce authentic video clip in any ward where election was held in Ikole, Moba and Ido/Osi local government areas, to convince Nigerians that the primary actually represented the wishes of the APC members.

“Another question to ask was that, did the National Working Committee mandate the committee to use photocopies of result sheets for the conduct of the election instead of original?

“Evidence abounded all over the five local governments that lent credence to the fact that photocopies were brought to the wards and people resisted attempt to continue

upon realising that it was a product of fraud and well contrived means to rig the election.

“Most disheartening was the culpability of police in this case. They gave protection to election riggers by allowing them to use police stations as sanctuaries in Ikole and Ido/Osi local governments. They chased away intending voters for results to be brazenly manipulated in favour of Senator Adetumbi.

“The police gave protection to party thugs in these councils while shooting sporadically in Ikole local government and dispersed party members. I began to ruminate on what the intentions behind humiliation of party faithful who came to exercise their rights in support of the party were.

“I am beginning to see that APC is gradually becoming power drunk in Ekiti. The outcome of the July 14 election was expected to be a major strength of our party and watershed for unity and not opportunity for people to become venomous and exhibit unbridled penchant for power grabbing tendencies.

“The positions of the aggrieved aspirants had been articulated before the committee with evidence of how we were overtly rigged out of contention by desperate politicians, in cahoots with the APC primary committee.

“Let me put on record that the action of these election riggers had generated a lot of odium from Ekiti electorate who saw the shootings in some councils during that primary and viewed the intentions of the perpetrators as eyeing the Senate for personal aggrandisement rather than service to the populace,” he stated.

Osinkolu, however, urged party members to remain calm as they await the outcome of the appeal panel verdict on the purported electoral heist that marred the Ekiti North primary.

“The Cleric also stated in the suit that he had on November 4, 2016, sent a petition to the EFCC narrating some corrupt practices the ex-governor was involved in.

He maintained that EFCC’s refusal to act on petitions containing “weighty allegations” against Oshiomhole, ran contrary to Section 15(5) of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which enjoined the State to abolish corrupt practices.”

Adeniran further pointed out that it is necessary for the EFCC to investigate these allegations for the purpose of convincing the Nigerian public that its arrest and prosecution of corruption culprits was not targeted at only members of the opposition.

According to the CACOL boss, “The rumors which have been making the rounds indicating that the present administration has been witch hunting members of the opposition while portraying members of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) as saints needs to be debunked by EFCC.” Adeniran asked: “How can a body whose sole obligation is to investigate and prosecute anyone indicted of a corruption crime be reluctant to carry out its statutory assignment against suspects or dismissing these allegations if they are found to lack substance?”

He continued: “Although

Oshiomhole

it is shameful that the EFCC would need to be reminded to investigate allegations leveled against Oshiomhole, we recall that several officials of the Federal Government who have been exposed for committing forgery and other crimes are still being treated with kid gloves. This is the major problem we have in our fight against corruption.”

The CACOL boss added that, “While we urge the EFCC to initiate a diligent probe on the weighty allegation of funds diversion and misappropriation against the APC Chairman, we challenge Oshiomhole to debunk these allegations and take whatever steps he considers necessary if these allegations are untrue as this will set an example worth emulating.”

HURIWA challenges online medium to present evidence on story of governor taking bribe A non-governmental and pro-democracy group – Human Rights Writers Association Of Nigeria (HURIWA), has challenged an online news media Nigeria Daily.com to either provide incontrovertible evidence on a news it carried on a certain All Progressives Congress (APC) governor purportedly receiving bribe of over $5 million from a contractor or bring down the story from its site within 78 hours or risk being dragged before the Nigeria Press Council for carrying fake news.

The pro-media integrity organisation through its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko and the National Media Affairs Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf urged the media house to provide irrefutable evidence including verified forensic investigative findings to conclusively affirm the authenticity of that suspected fake news or be prepared to face inquisition from the Press Council, the official ombudsmen of the Print media industry.

HURIWA said it will not hesitate to follow due process to obtain remedy on behalf of consumers of media contents in Nigeria. The group faulted the quality control employed by the affected news medium which informed the uploading

of such sensational fake news targeting a perceived political opponent of the sponsor of the entire scripts.

The group asserted that the publication on the alleged bribery affecting an unnamed APC governor was a pure blackmail given that the publisher of the website has suspected links to an erstwhile presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso who is nursing ambitions of supplanting his son-in-law as Kano State governor.

HURIWA expressed shock that this sort of unprintable news item could be uploaded for public view when the elements critical to objective, balanced and professional and Ethically correct procedures are flouted by the online medium which is supposed to be professionally owned and governed.

HURIWA is also planning to write the professional body of online publishers in Nigeria to ask them to investigate the affected news medium.

“We have conducted detailed investigation and found out that the author of the said story on the unnamed North West governor caught in camera collecting bribe in foreign denominated

currency running to over $5 million was a key media strategist of the politician and former governor of Kano State and was indeed his Senor Special Assistant on Media as the then governor of Kano State.

“Our team of forensic media analysts have thoroughly gone through that sensational story and found several elements that show that the story is not only fake, but a product of pure political blackmail which must not be allowed to be swept under the carpets.

“As campaigners for media integrity, we have asked the writer to pull out the fake story because of the clear and unambiguous fact that it was indeed planted for primitive political motive and meant to misguide and misinform voters with the aim of tarnishing the image of a politician.”

It will be recalled that Daily Nigerian reported that a Nigerian governor from one of the North West states has been caught on spy camera receiving kickbacks in hard currency for various projects executed by his administration.

The governor, who is gunning for his second term on the platform of ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), may likely be dropped due to the damning evidence of corruption against him.

Atiku’ll be better President for Nigeria - Obasanjo I am happy to welcome the distinguished leaders of goodwill who have led the PDP Presidential Candidate and my former VicePresident, Atiku Abubakar, to my humble abode and I welcome the Presidential Candidate himself.

Let me start by congratulating President-tobe, Atiku Abubakar, for his success at the recent PDP Primary and I took note of his gracious remarks in his acceptance speech that it all started here.

Yes, when it started, it was meant for Atiku to succeed Obasanjo. In the presence of these distinguished leaders of goodwill today, let me say it openly that we have reviewed what went wrong on the side of Atiku. And in all honesty, my former Vice-President has re-discovered and re-positioned himself. As I have repeatedly said, it is not so much what you did against me that was the issue but what you did against the Party, the Government and the country.

I took the stand I had taken based on the character and attributes you exhibited in the position you found yourself. I strongly believe that I was right. It was in the overall interest of everyone and everything to take such a position.

From what transpired in the last couple of hours or so, you have shown remorse; you have asked for forgiveness and you have indicated that you have learnt some good lessons and you will mend fences and make amends as necessary and as desirable.

Whenever or wherever you might have offended me, as a Christian who asks for God’s forgiveness of my sins and inadequacies on daily basis, I forgive and I sincerely advise you to learn from the past and do what is right and it will be well with you. Obviously, you have mended fences with the Party and fully reconciled with the Party. That’s why today, you are the Presidential Candidate of the Party.

In addition to appreciating all that the Party has done for you, may I advise you to work together with all those who contested for the Party’s flag with you as a team for your campaign.

There are still areas, nationally and internationally, where you have to mend fences and make amends. You will know how to handle what is already out and what may yet be put out by the opposition. But, I am convinced that if you continue with the attitude that brought you here with these distinguished leaders of

Obasanjo goodwill, with remorse and contrite heart, the rest of the coast within and outside the country can be cleared.

And if there is anything I can do and you want me to do in that respect, I will do.

I am sure with the right attitude for change where necessary, and by putting lessons learned by you to work, you will get the understanding, cooperation, support and mandate - all at the national level. With Nigerians voting for you, it will mean

From what I personally know of you, you have capacity to perform better than the incumbent. You surely understand the economy better; you have business experience, which can make your administration businessfriendly and boost the economy and provide jobs

that you secure their forgiveness and regain their confidence. It will be with the hope or assurance of a Paul on the road to Damascus Conversion.

After all, change and conversion are of man. I believe that with a contrite heart, change is possible in everybody’s life and situation.

For me, relatively and of all the aspirants in the PDP, you have the widest and greatest exposure, experience, outreach and possibly the best machinery and preparation for seeing the tough and likely dirty campaign ahead through. From what I personally know of you, you have capacity to perform better than the incumbent. You surely understand the economy better; you have business experience, which can make your administration businessfriendly and boost the economy and provide jobs.

You have better outreach nationally and internationally and that can translate to better management of foreign affairs. You are more accessible and less inflexible and more open to all parts of the country in many ways. As Pastor Bakare, onetime running mate of the incumbent President said, “You are a wazobia man.” And that should help you in

confronting the confrontable and shunning nepotism.

As you know, along the road to where you are today, many leaders and ordinary people cooperated and overtly and covertly worked hard. On your behalf, I thank them all. May their coast continue to be expanded. And when you become Nigerian President which, inshaAllah, you will be, remember what we did together in government – we ran an administration by Nigerians for all Nigerians where merit and performance count more than blood relationship, friendship or kith and kin. Although some time and ground have been lost, you should endeavour to start from where we stopped and recover some lost ground, if not time.

Please uphold truth, integrity, principles, morality and fight corruption, crimes and insurgency.

The fundamental law of the land, our constitution must be scrupulously defended. I make one demand and one demand on you today, I need you to say before God and man that you will always remain irrevocably committed to upholding ALL the provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the whole country will remain your single indivisible constituency.

Constitutionalism, popular participation and inclusiveness are pre-conditions for reversing the deficits of the past three and half years. They will ensure abiding faith in our indivisibility, oneness and faith in the survival of all against none.

The fundamentals for our development, economic growth and progress are hard and soft infrastructure.

Remember to always give adequate places in your administration to our youth and women.

All the authorities involved with the preparation, all processes and conduct of the election must ensure that the election is free, fair and credible.

Once again, congratulations and I wish you well. My distinguished brothers and leaders of goodwill, thank you for making this happen. I will now count on you to encourage all hands to be on the deck to take Nigeria to the level God has created it to be – autopilot level.

God bless you all and God bless Nigeria.

Being the remarks of former President Olusegun Obasanjo during the visit of former Vice President and presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in Abeokuta, Ogun State on Thursday, October 11, 2018.

Hurricane Michael tears apart Florida towns, kills 7 Hurricane Michael’s violence was visible on Thursday in shattered Florida coastal towns, where rows of homes were ripped from foundations and roofs were peeled off schools by the nearrecord-force storm blamed for seven deaths.

Michael, a Category-4 storm at the time, smashed into Florida’s northwest coast near the small town of Mexico Beach on Wednesday with screeching 250kph winds,

pushing a wall of seawater inland.

“The wind was really tearing us apart,” said retiree Tom Garcia, 60, who was trapped inside his Mexico Beach home as water poured in to waist height.

He and his partner Cheri Papineau, 50, pushed on their door for an hour to stop the storm surge bursting in as their four dogs sat on top of a bed floating in their home.

Video shot by CNN from a helicopter showed homes closest

to the water in Mexico Beach had lost all but their foundations. A few blocks inland, about half the homes were reduced to piles of wood and siding and those still standing had suffered heavy damage.

Michael, the third most powerful hurricane ever to hit the US mainland, weakened overnight to a tropical storm but marched northeast on Thursday, toppling trees with 80kph winds and bringing “life threatening” flash

flooding to Georgia and Virginia, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) reported.

At least seven people were killed by the storm in Florida, Georgia and North Carolina from falling trees and other hurricane-related incidents, according to state officials.

Gulf Coast Regional Medical Center in hard-hit Panama City, 32 km northwest of Mexico Beach, was treating some of the injured.

The hospital was evacuating 130 patients as it faced challenges of running on generators after the storm knocked out power, ripped off part of its roof and smashed windows, a spokesman for the hospital’s owner HCA Healthcare (HCA.N) said in an email.

Much of Port St Joe, 19km east of Mexico Beach, was underwater after Michael hit, snapping boats in two and hurling a large ship onto the shore, residents said. Only first responders were allowed in and an 8pm curfew was imposed.

Damage ‘way worse’ than expected In Panama City, buildings were crushed, tall pine trees were sent flying and a steeple was knocked off a church.

the Weather Channel the damage from Panama City down to Mexico Beach was “way worse than anybody ever anticipated.”

Nearly 950,000 homes and businesses were without power in Florida, Alabama, the Carolinas and Georgia on Thursday.

The number of people in emergency shelters was expected to swell to 20,000 across five states by Friday, said Brad Kieserman of the American Red Cross.

Michael pummeled communities across the Panhandle and turned streets into roof-high waterways.

About 32km south of Mexico Beach, floodwaters were more than 2.1 metres deep near Apalachicola, a town of about 2,300 residents, hurricane centre chief Ken Graham said. Wind damage was also evident.

“Our biggest thing is the downed lines and the downed trees,” said Apalachicola Mayor Van Johnson.

Brad Rippey, a meteorologist for the US Agriculture Department, said Michael severely damaged cotton, timber, pecans and peanuts, causing estimated liabilities as high as $1.9bn and affecting up to 1.5 million hectares.

Michael also disrupted energy operations in the US Gulf of Mexico

as it approached land, cutting crude oil production by more than 40 percent and natural gas output by nearly onethird as offshore platforms were evacuated.

With a low barometric pressure recorded at 919 millibars, a measure of a

GOtv Boxing Night: Joe Boy gets new opponent as injury rules out Anama Dotse

Anama Dotse, the Ghanaian billed to fight African Boxing Union lightweight champion, Oto “Joe Boy” Joseph, at GOtv Boxing Night 16 has pulled out of the fight after suffering an eye injury in training.

Joseph will now fight another Ghanaian, Emmanuel Mensah, at GOtv Boxing Night 16, which holds on Sunday at the Indoor Sports Hall of Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos.

The news of Dotse’s injury, said the event organisers, was broken by his camp on Tuesday. Dotse’s camp was said to have disclosed that the boxer suffered a deep gash above his eye while trying to get of his sparring partner’s grip.

Mensah, who is expected to arrive

in Lagos on Friday, is a highly rated boxer and he is reputed for his punching power as well as stamina, qualities he would require to cope with Joseph, who is known for blowing opponents away in doublequick time.

Eight other bouts are slated for GOtv Boxing Night 16, with the biggest of all being the West African Boxing Union lightweight title decider between Nigeria’s Rilwan “Real One” Oladosu and Ghana’s Benjamin Lamptey.

Another big encounter will see the “Bariga Terror”, Kabiru “KB Godson” Towolawi face Adewale “Masevex” Masebinu in the national lightweight title clash, a fight on which a lot is

23

riding.

In addition to the belt at stake is the opportunity for Masebinu to avenge his loss to the same opponent last year.

The other grudge fight at the event will see Chibuzor “TBoy” Obi face Waiidi “Skoro” Usman in a featherweight challenge contest.

Also on parade will be alumni of GOtv Boxing NextGen Search, who will feature in four fights.

GOtv Boxing Night 16 will be broadcast live on SuperSport in 47 countries.

The best boxer at the event will win a cash prize of N1.5million and the Mojisola Ogunsanya Memorial Trophy.

Gernot Rohr: Super Eagles will not underrate Libya Super Eagles Coach, Gernot Rohr, says his team will play to win and will not underrate the Mediterranean Knights in Saturday’s AFCON qualifier.

Rohr told newsmen in Uyo on Thursday, that the Libyans have a very strong team in spite of their position on FIFA ranking.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the Super Eagles will tackle the Libyan side at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium for the 2019 AFCON qualifier.

“The players and the coach are working together to ensure victory. The players will not underrate the Libyan team, they have very strong defence and good goalkeeper.

“We have prepared very well to win, we will not look at FIFA ranking,” said Rohr who has 24 players in camp

to choose from for the Saturday game.

He added: “I want to thank the governor of Akwa Ibom State for receiving us again, we have a wonderful place here to stay, play and win.”

Acting team captain, Ahmed Musa, said the players were in top form and would not take the game for granted.

NAN reports that the Mediterranean Knights are expected in Uyo on Friday.

The Libyans are top of the group with four points, same as South Africa but with superior goal difference, while Super Eagles are third on the log with three points from two games.

The Super Eagles will need to win on Saturday to have any real chance of qualifying for AFCON 2019 in Cameroon.

Mohammed Sanusi: Super Eagles have quality to beat Libya home and away General Secretary of Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Dr. Mohammed Sanusi, is optimistic that the Super Eagles will beat the Mediterranean Knights of Libya over two legs in their 2019 AFCON qualifying double header on Saturday in Uyo and on Tuesday in Sfax Tunisia.

Sanusi said in Abuja that the Super Eagles were in high spirits and ready to make amends for their missing the last two editions of Africa Cup of Nations.

“We are leaving no stone unturned in our effort to motivate the Super Eagles to a resounding victory in this first leg match to

brighten our chances of qualifying for the 2019 AFCON billed for Cameroon,” Sanusi said.

“We know the Libyans are strong and play the typical free flowing game for which the South Africans are known for, but our coaches are working on how to neutralize them and hit them with goals to get the maximum three points.

“Our plan is to win in Abuja and try to also beat them in the return leg billed for Tunisia four days later and return to the top of the group. It is not going to be easy matches, but we have the quality to win the two matches.”

Ikechukwu Ezenwa: Super Eagles can’t afford to miss AFCON 2019 Super Eagles goalkeeper, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, insists the team is determined to qualify for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon after missing the last two editions of the tournament.

The three-time African champions are yet to grace the AFCON finals after conquering the rest of the continent in South Africa 2013, failing to qualify for the 2015 and 2017 editions.

Gernot Rohr’s men will face the Mediterranean Knights of Libya on Saturday in a Group E qualifying fixture at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, Uyo, with the reverse fixture to take place three days later in Sfax, Tunisia.

Ezenwa says the Eagles are eager to be among the 24 finalists for the biggest soccer competition in Africa.

“It’s a shame that we have failed to make it to the last two editions of the Africa Cup of Nations taking into cognisance our pedigree as one of the best footballing nations on the continent,” Ezenwa said.

“This time around, we are determined to put things right by making it to Cameroon 2019. It’s a tough task but we are ready to go all out for it. ”We are firmly focused on the two games against

Libya and hopefully we will a positive result.”

The Super Eagles began their qualifying campaign on a disappointing note losing 2-0 to the Bafana Bafana of South Africa at home but recovered to record a morale boosting 3-0 away win against Seychelles last month in Victoria.

The West Africans need to beat the Libyans who occupy top spot in the group with four points to enhance their chances of claiming a place in Cameroon 2019.

Aiteo Cup: Gbenga Ogunbote happy with Rangers progress to final Enugu Rangers head coach, Gbenga Ogunbote, is relieved to see his side book a place in the final of the Aiteo Federation Cup following Wednesday’s 4-2 semi-final win against Nasarawa United.

The Flying Antelopes rallied from two goals down to beat the Solid Miners 4-2 at the Sani Abacha Stadium, Kano.

Nasarawa United got their goals through Addulbasit Shittu and Nojeem Olukokun in the 3rd and 29th minutes respectively.

Ugonna Uzochukwu (brace), Ugochukwu Ugwuoke and substitute Ibrahim Ajani were on target for Rangers in the keenly contested encounter.

“We were really stretched but I thank God we played a good game even when we were trailing by two goals. We created the chances but could not score,” Ogunbote told reporters after the game.

“My players thereafter turned on the heat and we scored our goals” The five-time winners will face Kano Pillars who defeated Katsina United 4-1 on penalties in the final at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba, on October 24.

Novak Djokovic gets revenge to make Shanghai quarters

Novak Djokovic enjoyed a measure of revenge as he booked his spot in the Shanghai Masters quarterfinals with a 6-4, 6-0 demolition of Marco Cecchinato on Thursday.

The Serbian second seed was stunned by the Italian — ranked 72 in the world at the time — in the French Open quarter-finals earlier this year.

It was part of the wretched run of form Djokovic suffered in the first half of the year after elbow surgery in February.

But the world number three exploded back to life in the northern hemisphere summer, winning Wimbledon, the Cincinnati Masters and US Open.

The 31-year-old, who is now gunning for Rafael Nadal’s number one ranking, says he is back close to the kind of

blistering form that has brought him 14 Grand Slams.

And he proved it against Cecchinato, bustling past the 16th seed in just under 70 minutes.

Djokovic will play South Africa’s Kevin Anderson or the Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the quarter-finals.

Rising star Alexander Zverev was similarly emphatic as he brushed aside Australia’s new number one, teenager Alex de Minaur, 6-1, 6-4.

The German fourth seed will face 11th seed Kyle Edmund in the last eight.

The 21-year-old Zverev was ruthless as he took the first set in just 29 minutes, although his 19-year-old opponent showed more fight in the second.

Zverev has been suffering with a

cold but ratcheted up the pressure to grab the all-important break of serve in the ninth game before closing out the match against de Minaur, who this week replaced Nick Kyrgios as Australia’s top-ranked player.

Edmund, Britain’s number one, defeated Chile’s Nicolas Jarry 7-6 (7/5), 6-3.
