‘I want to leave legacy of free, fair polls’ Continued from page 1

his election victory in last Saturday’s Governorship poll.

The President commended Nigerians who heeded to his pre-election appeals to cast their votes peacefully.

Buhari, who described last Saturday’s Governorship and State Assembly elections across the country as largely successful, said: ‘‘I have maintained a position that elections must be free and fair and people have the right to make their choices and vote their consciences. I am happy they understood the message and did just that. ‘‘Power is a public trust that belongs to the people.

Power is not by strength or wisdom but by Providence.

Elected persons must be fair and just. This is the legacy I want to leave behind. A leader must be fair and just.

All leaders should strive to do that.’’

Governor Masari, who was accompanied by officials of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Katsina State, thanked the President and the party for the support which led to his decisive victory on March 9.

The governor pledged to work for the good of the people of Katsina State, in line with the vision of the Next Level government at the centre.

President Muhammadu Buhari has also expressed hope that would have a mutual and effective working relationship with the ninth National Assembly toward improving the budgetary process and restoring the country to the January-December fiscal cycle.

The President said this on Monday in his hometown Daura, Katsina State when he received his old school mates, who came to congratulate him on his reelection for a second term.

He recounted how the delay in the passage of budgets hindered timely execution of projects across the country.

With the victory of the All Progressives Congress (APC) at the presidential election and majority seats in the ninth Senate, Buhari expressed confidence that more work will be done to improve the efficiency of the budgetary process.

The President told his classmates in the 1953 set

of Katsina Middle School, Daura, led by Senator Abba Ali, that it is on record that the 2018 budget proposals submitted to the National Assembly on November 7, 2017, was passed after seven months.

Notwithstanding the challenges, President Buhari assured his classmates that the Executive arm of government, under his watch, will strive towards effective implementation of national budgets while promoting transparency and accountability.

He thanked his old school colleagues for the ‘reunion’, commending their interest and useful suggestions on advancing Nigeria’s prosperity and stability.

In his remarks, Senator Ali, while congratulating the President on his reelection, said majority of Nigerians believed in his purposeful leadership and resoundingly renewed his mandate.

The Senator, who wished the President more success in his second-term, noted that the country will benefit more when the executive and legislative branches of government work in unison on national interests.

Again, gunmen attack 2 Kaduna communities Doorsum Iwambe, Abuja

A yet to be ascertained number of casualties have been reported in the troubled Kajuru Local Government Area of Kaduna State when gunmen attacked the two communities on Monday morning.

According to eyewitness account, the attacks occurred in Ikirimi village, as well as Iri, Dogon Noma in Ungwar Gamo, both in Kajuru Local Government Area.

This is coming one day after a similar onslaught which left many dead in Ungwar Barde, making it the second time the community will fall under such attack in recent times.

An indigene of Dogon Noma, who identified himself as Hon. Stingo, said that the attack started around 7a.m. on Monday morning.

“All of a sudden they (villagers) heard gunshots, when they began to come out of their houses, some

were being shot dead. They shared themselves into three batches. One batch was standing strategically in the bushes surrounding the village. Two groups went in. The first group was the one firing. When people began to scamper for their lives, the second group entered and began to set the house on fire. Then those who ran into the bushes, those that were standing there were waiting for them’’, he said.

Meanwhile, the police and state government are yet to react.

The Daily Times recalls that Sunday ambush occurred in Ungwar Barde, the village where the recent violent attacks started some four weeks ago. In the February attack, 11 people were reportedly killed in the community.

The state government, in a statement on Sunday, condemned the violent attack and extended its sympathy to the community and the families of the victims.

The statement by Governor Nasir el-Rufai’s spokesperson, Samuel Aruwan, said more troops had been deployed to the community, while the Air Force was carrying out aerial surveillance.

The statement reads: “Heads of security agencies in Kaduna State have informed Governor Nasir el-Rufai of an attack on Ungwan Barde community by unknown bandits, today, 10th March 2019. The government condemns this violent attack and extends its sympathy to the families of the victims and the entire community.

“The security agencies have informed the governor that measures are being taken to contain the situation and to secure the general area.

“More troops have been deployed to the community, while the Nigerian Air Force personnel are carrying out aerial surveillance and reconnaissance.

How Greek man missed ill-fated Ethiopian Airlines flight As investigators recover flight, black box recorders

Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja & Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo, Lagos A Greek man, Antonis Mavropoulos, has narrated how he missed the ill – fated Ethiopian Airlines plane that crashed in Addis Ababa after arriving two minutes late at the boarding gate.

Mr. Mavropoulos, president of the International Solid Waste Association, said he was initially angry as the airline staff had not helped him and he subsequently missed the flight.

In a Facebook post entitled: “My lucky day,” Mavropoulos said he was put onto the next flight to Nairobi and only found out about the crash when he was stopped from boarding his next flight.

“I was mad because nobody

helped me to reach the gate on time,’’ he said.

He was taken to a police station for questioning when an officer told him that he was the only passenger booked on the flight that did not board.

Meanwhile, investigators have recovered the two black box recorders and flight recorders from the crashed plane. The devices recovered from the crash site are the Boeing 737 Max 8’s cockpit voice recorder and the digital flight data recorder.

The Daily Times recalls that the plane en route from Addis Ababa to the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, crashed six minutes after take-off, killing all 157 people on board.

Several airlines have grounded the model following the disaster.

The months-old aircraft came

down near the town of Bishoftu, 60km (37 miles) south-east of the capital on Sunday.

There were more than 30 nationalities on board the flight, including Nigerians, Kenyans, Ethiopians, Canadians and Britons.

The two Nigerians on board the ill – fated flight are Prof. Pius Adesanmi and Amb. Abiodun Bashua.

Ethiopian Airlines CEO, Tewolde Gebremariam, had told journalists that the cause of the disaster is not yet clear. He, however, noted that the pilot had reported difficulties and had asked to return to Addis Ababa.

“At this stage, we can’t rule out anything. We can’t also attribute the cause to anything because we will have to comply with the international regulation to wait for the investigation,” he said.

the grounds of violence, ballot papers snatching, vote-buying among other electoral irregularities.

In Zamfara State, the INEC has declared the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate, Alhaji Mukhtar Shehu, the winner of the poll held in the state.

INEC declared Shehu winner of the election as he polled 534, 541 votes to defeat his close challenger of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The state collation officer, Prof.

Kabiru Bala of the Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, said Shehu’s closest rival, Bello Muhammad Mutawalle of the PDP polled 189, 452 votes.

The Daily Times recalls that the acronym of the APC had been omitted on the results sheet for the governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state.

In Borno State, the INEC has declared Prof. Babagana Umara Zulum of the APC winner of the governorship election in Borno State.

Umara Zulum, who emerged winner polled 1, 175, 440 votes to beat his closest opponent, Alhaji Mohammed Imam, who garnered 66, 115 votes.

Also, the INEC has declared Abdullahi Sule of the APC winner of Saturday’s governorship election in Nasarawa State.

Prof. Abdullahi Bala, returning officer for the election, announced Sule as governor-elect on Monday in Lafia after the collation of results from the 13 local government areas of the state.

Bala said the APC candidate polled a total of 327, 229 votes to defeat other opponents in the election while David Ombugadu of the PDP scored 184, 281 votes and Labaran Maku of the APGA polled a total of 132, 784.

In a related development, Governor Benedict Ayade has been re-elected as governor of Cross River State.

Announcing the result in Calabar, the state Returning Officer, Prof. Akim Ibhadode, said Ayade, of the PDP won the election with 381, 484 votes to defeat his APC opponent who scored 131, 161.

However, the PDP has rejected the results of the governorship election in Kaduna State. The party’s agent, Jerry Ishaya, said the result was not the true reflection of the votes cast on Saturday, declaring that the party has rejected the result in all its entirety.

Ishaya explained that PDP agents in Zaria, Kabau, Kaduna North, Kaduna South, Igabi, Soba and Lere local government areas of the state have told the party leadership that card readers were not used at all.

He accused the security agents and officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission of connivance to steal the mandate of the people.

He added that “we have formally written the INEC that card readers were not used in those local government areas mentioned. Our agents told us how security agents overpowered them in some areas.

“The results were manipulated in collaboration with the INEC, security agents.”

Also, the Deputy Director-General of the Kaduna PDP Campaign Organisation, Danjuma Sarki, described the result as a charade.

Sarki wondered how the APC scored almost the same result during the presidential and governorship elections when it was obvious that the turnout was low in the governorship election.

He said that “the result was not the true

reflection of votes cast. The result of the governorship elections is more than that of the presidential which recorded high voters turn out.”

Meanwhile, Speaker, House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has chided the INEC Chairman, Prof.

Mahmood Yakubu, for supervising a commission with moral burden question to answer over its handling of the governorship election results in Bauchi State.

The speaker, who questioned the rationale behind INEC’s cancellation of the state governorship election results in Tafawa Balewa Local Government, said the commission’s decision lacks substance and is a clear departure from the provisions of the law.

Speaking during a media briefing in Bauchi, Dogara stated that it is absurd that the electoral body would order a cancellation of the results of an election that was conducted in a free, fair and transparent manner, save for the issue of computation of the final results which was caused by the carting away of the result sheet by agents of the Governor Mohammed Abdullahi Abubakar, of the APC. Dogara warned the INEC chairman to be wary of posterity and to avoid being used by the powers that be to foist crisis on his state of origin as a result of impending danger that may follow the manipulation of the election results.

Relatedly, the APC has rejected the outcome of the governorship election in Adamawa State and called on the INEC to probe the election process in the affected local governments.

The North East, National Vice chairman of the party, Comrade Mustapha Salihu, at a press conference at the party’s secretariat in Yola, said the 44 polling units are not the only areas that elections malpractices took place.

According to him, serious complaints were tendered by APC agents alleging that election irregularities were reported in the Hong, Michika, Song, Lamurde, Guyuk and Demsa, but dumped by INEC. He revealed that card readers were not used, APC agents were attacked, killing one of the agents in Hong by the opposition party, cases of over voting was reported in many areas and undue cancellation of results by INEC officials were reported.

“We want to bring it to the notice of the general public that we reject the entire results of governorship elections held in Adamawa State. Our petitions were rejected and is evident that the whole process is been compromised,” he said.

Salihu accused soldiers of whisking results in Song, results of four wards were not released and lamented how officials of INEC were aiding opposition to rig the elections.

While addressing the newsmen along state party officials, Mustapha based their major complaints of violence, killing and lynching of agents, petitions were dumped and results were tailored by INEC officials.

“We are calling for probe by INEC and we must bring accountability on the table,” he added.

He said that the results are not the reflection of Adamawa people and their mandate must be brought back to them else they head to court in order to reclaim the mandate.

“We demand the full inquiry of the election process,” he stated.

Recall that Adamawa Governorship elections was declared inconclusive at the wee hours of Monday morning and INEC assured of complementary elections in 44 polling units of LGAs affected.

PDP demands release of gov’ship poll results in Sokoto, Adamawa, Plateau, others Warns INEC against results alteration

Accuses Yakubu of submitting INEC independence to Buhari Presidency, APC Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has demanded from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) the release of results of Saturday’s governorship election declared inconclusive in states where the PDP was already coasting to victory.

The party chided the Commission for subverting the wish of the electorate in the affected states by holding back the mandate given to the party’s governorship candidates.

The PDP did not spare the chairman of INEC for alleged complicity in premeditated electoral fraud plotted by the Buhari Presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to forcefully take over PDP controlled states.

Addressing the press after a review of the March 9 Governorship and State Assembly elections in Abuja on Monday, National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, blamed the Prof. Mahmood Yakubu leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of submitting the Commission’s independence to the Buhari Presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ologbodiyan said that experience in Nigeria’s electoral process since 2015 shows that Yakubu’s name is synonymous with election manipulation.

He said: “The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accuses the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, of overtly playing the script of the Buhari Presidency and the All

Progressives Congress (APC) by declaring governorship elections in states where the PDP is in clear lead as inconclusive.

“Our party insists that INEC, under Prof. Yakubu, has become overtly partisan, surrendered its independence to the APC and carries on as a compromised umpire with obnoxious impunity, thereby sending signals of being heavily bribed by the APC to alter results for its candidates.

“The PDP has full intelligence of how INEC is acting on instructions from the Buhari Presidency and the APC in orchestrating unwholesome situations and declaring already concluded governorship elections in Sokoto, Adamawa, Bauchi, Plateau as well as other states as inconclusive, immediately it becomes obvious that the PDP was set to win.

“This also informs the foisting of unexplainable stoppage and delays in the announcement of already collated results in other states where the PDP is clearly leading the race, from the results so far declared at the polling units.

“Our party has also been informed of how INEC is now seeking ways to use the situation to aid the APC to alter the results and announce APC candidates as winners in the elections clearly led by the PDP just as it did in the 2018 Osun State governorship election.

“In some of the states like Rivers, the PDP has information of plots by APC to leverage on the declaration by INEC to unleash more violence in the state and push for isolated election where they can bring in more security forces to concentrate on forcefully taking over the state.

“Already, in Rivers State,

Secondus INEC is under heavy pressure from the Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, to post out and replace the State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) as well as the Administrative Secretary.

“This will be totally unacceptable, completely provocative and shall be firmly resisted by the people even if the totality of our nation’s security is deployed to Rivers State.

“This is more so as results of all the state assembly elections in Rivers State have been declared and winners had emerged”.

The PDP cautioned Prof.

Yakubu and INEC to perish the thoughts of altering any figures for the APC and to immediately announce PDP winning results in these states and others where the party’s candidates clearly won, going by the results already declared at the poling units, wards and local government collation.

He said “anything short of this will attract the legitimate wrath of the people.

“This is because Nigerians are already aware that elections have been concluded in these

states; results have been collated and declared at the polling units, ward and local government collation centres and all returning officers and political parties conclusively have the figures.

“Prof.

Yakubu must have noted how his name is becoming synonymous to electoral manipulations, among Nigerians, and the fact that our citizens and international community hold him responsible for the rigging of the Presidential and other elections for the APC. “Today, majority of Nigerians and the global democratic institutions are questioning the state of our democracy and electoral processes, which have been under siege under the supervision of President Buhari and Prof. Mahmood Yakubu”.

In the light of these INEC’s manipulative tendencies, the PDP therefore charged its leaders, teeming members and lovers of democracy in the affected states to immediately commence a march to INEC offices and use all legitimate means to protect their mandate as freely given by the people at the polling units across the nation.

Passenger dies aboard Delta Airlines en route Lagos Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

A passenger aboard Delta Airlines Flight DL54 on Monday died in the airplane during the about 12 hours flight between the carrier’s bade in Atlanta in the

United States and Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.

Sources close to the airline said it is unprofessional to disclose the identity of the passenger without informing the family.

In a statement, Delta Airline said local medical

professionals met the plane upon arrival and confirmed the passenger had sadly passed away.

The statement reads: “A passenger on Delta Flight DL54 travelling from Atlanta to Lagos today, March 11, 2019, was found unresponsive before landing.

Local medical professionals met the plane upon arrival and confirmed the passenger had sadly passed away.

Delta Airlines extends its deepest condolences to the family at this sad time. As a matter passenger privacy, Delta Airline will not release additional information.”

Disregard calls for transfer of Rivers REC, 86 political parties, 54 gov’ship candidates declare Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt The Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) Rivers State, Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) and Coalition of Governorship Candidates in Rivers State have called on the National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, to disregard calls by a few alleged APC sponsoredgovernorship candidates for the transfer of the Rivers State Resident Electoral Commissioner and the State Administrative Secretary of INEC. In a press conference on Monday, the groups that represent 86 Political Parties and 54 Governorship Candidates said that there was no justification for the calls for the transfer of the electoral officers.

The Chairman of IPAC in Rivers State, Sir Precious Baridoo, presented their position in Port Harcourt.

They said: “These calls sponsored by the Minister of Transportation and the APC are aimed at creating the ugly atmosphere for the concoction of results and the rigging of the Rivers State Governorship election, which has been won by the Rivers State PDP Governorship Candidate, His Excellency, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.

“We also strongly condemn the criminal use of the Nigerian Army by the APC to abduct electoral officers and snatch already collated results for the purpose of rigging the Governorship election in favour of the APC supported candidate.

“It is most unfortunate that the APC led soldiers of the Nigerian Army to invade the State Collation Centre at INEC Headquarters in Port Harcourt as captured on videos aired on Channels Television and AIT. The whole world saw how they planned to bring in cooked results to alter the will of Rivers people,” he said.

They berated the military for disrupting the Governorship Collation Process in Rivers State.

He said: “We also condemn the military for disrupting the

Collation Process for the Governorship election in Rivers State. We call on President Buhari to take immediate steps to punish all the military personnel involved in this coup against democracy. Our position is strengthened by the fact that the Chief of Army Staff has denied ordering the criminal activities of the Nigerian Army at the Rivers State Governorship Collation Centre at INEC headquarters “The mischievous call by these sponsored Governorship Candidates is diversionary and aimed at disrupting the Collation process and the lawful declaration of Governor Wike as duly re-elected.

“We commend the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, for his peaceful and calm disposition, despite the provocative actions of the APC and the military in the face of the fact that Rivers people overwhelmingly voted for him,” he said.

They urged INEC to immediately re-start the Collation process and ensure the declaration of Governor Wike as winner of the elections.

“We urge INEC to immediately re-start the process of collating the Governorship Election results based on official results declared at all polling units where elections were successfully conducted. This Collation should be based on official INEC staff and adhoc personnel detailed to conduct the elections.

“We, therefore, congratulate the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, on his reelection as the Governor of Rivers State.

We congratulate him based on results from across the state as made available to us by our agents who participated in the elections at different levels.

“This position is further confirmed by the fact that INEC State Constituency Collation Officers across Rivers State have declared 23 PDP candidates as duly elected for their respective constituencies for the State Assembly elections which ran simultaneously with the Governorship Election, won by the Rivers State Governor,” they said.

CCT jurisdiction: Tribunal reserves ruling on Short News CJN Onnoghen’s objection till final judgment INEC releases 16 constituencies results in Bayelsa Orders daily trial

Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on Monday deferred ruling on the two applications filed by suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, till the day it will deliver final judgment in the suit.

Justice Onnoghen two applications had challenged the jurisdiction of the tribunal to hear the six - count criminal charge brought against him by the federal government for his failure to declare part of his assets - a bank account containing £3m lodged at the Standard Chartered Bank.

Also deferred by the tribunal is ruling on another application filed by Justice Onnoghen, praying for the disqualification of the tribunal Chairman, Danladi Umar, from participating in the trial for being biased.

Delivering ruling on the two motions, argued by Chief Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN) on behalf of Onnoghen, the CCT Chairman Umar announced that rulings has been reserved and shall be delivered along with the judgment on the substantive suit.

He said the tribunal relied on Section 296 (2) of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act in arriving at the decision to suspend the two rulings till the final judgment.

Umar added that in line with the provisions of the law, ruling on all motions shall not be delivered until the final judgement on the main matter.

According to him, trial of the six count charge against Onnoghen will now proceed on daily basis, adding that “it shall be conducted on day-to-day so as to ensure speedy trial of the charges.”

Consequently, he fixed today for continuation of the trial even without consulting the prosecution and defence lawyers.

Earlier, the suspended Justice Onnoghen, who sat at the dock had insisted that the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has no jurisdiction to proceed with the six - count charge brought against him by the federal government.

Onnoghen told the tribunal that as a serving judicial officer, it is the National Judicial Council (NJC) that is vested with powers, first to entertain any misconduct level against him.

In a motion dated January 14,

Onnoghen through his counsel, Chief Awomolo (SAN) prayed the tribunal to strike out or dismiss the entire charges against him for want of jurisdiction.

Awomolo, cited sections 34 and 292 of the third scheduled of the 1999 Constitution as grounds that the CCT has no requisite powers to deal with erring judicial officers without first resorting to the NJC. He said the powers of the NJC are superior to that of the Code Conduct Bureau when it comes to the issue of judicial officers, adding that in line with Section 292, the NJC must first indict a judicial officer before any legal action can be taken.

In the second application dated January 31 and predicated on Section 36 of the constitution, Onnoghen demanded that the chairman of the tribunal rescue or disqualify himself from further participating in the trial on the grounds of fair hearing and likelihood of bias.

The defendant claimed that Umar had demonstrated sufficient bias against him in the conduct of proceedings and that it would be in the best interest of justice for the CCT chairman to step aside from the proceedings.

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has released the results of 16 constituencies and declared one inconclusive in the Bayelsa state House of Assembly polls held on Saturday.

Bayelsa state has 24 assembly seats and only 16 have so far been declared.

INEC Head of Department, Voter Education and Publicity in the state, Wilfred Ifogah, who announced this in Yenagoa on Monday, said there were hitches in Brass Constituency 1, where the election was declared inconclusive.

Ifogah said that out of the 24 seats in the state assembly, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) won in 12 while the All Progressive Congress (APC) secured four seats.

“The Brass Constituency 1, is inconclusive and a new date will be fixed when plans are concluded. Results of seven constituencies including Ogbia I, II and III as well as Southern Ijaw constituencies I, II, III and IV are still being awaited by the commission,’’ he said.

APC won in Brass II, polling 10, 958 votes to defeat PDP that got 6, 833 while in Nembe II, APC got 8, 167 votes to defeat PDP that polled 401 votes.

Also in Nembe III, APC polled 10, 906 votes as against 302 votes recorded by PDP and in Ekeremor II, APC also polled 17, 428 to defeat PDP that got 11,184 votes.

Fintiri reacts to Adamawa inconclusive election

The gubernatorial candidate of PDP in Adamawa satte, Alhaji Ahmadu Fintiri, has reacted to the inconclusive governorship election in the state with a call on his supporters to remain calm.

The Returning Officer for Adamawa governorship election, Prof. Andrew Haruna, had declared the election as inconclusive because the number of votes cancelled in 44 polling units was higher than the margin of lead votes between the two leading contestants.

Haruna said that a new date for the re - run election would be announced soon.

Speaking to newsmen on Monday in Yola, Fintiri, who had the highest vote of 367, 472 votes against Gov. Bindow of APC’ s 334, 995 votes, urged his supporters to remain calm and steadfast as victory is in sight.

Fintiri thanked the electorate for turning out en masse to participate in the election, adding that he was sure of victory.

“I want to thank the good people of this state for coming out to exercise their franchise. I also urge them to do same in the supplementary election. They should demonstrate the same zeal and commitment to vote for PDP as we are already cruising to victory,” Fintiri said.

The PDP candidate lauded all stakeholders, particularly INEC and security agencies, for their efforts in ensuring a hitch free exercise.

Also reacting to the election, the APC National Vice Chairman for North East, Alhaji Salihu Mustafa, who served as his party’s agent at the collation centre, said that APC was not satisfied with the election, alleging that there were irregularities and violence against APC members in some areas.

Sen. Ayogu rejects result, describes Ugwuanyi’s win fathom victory Tunde Opalana, Abuja All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Enugu state, Sen. Ayogu Eze has rejected the declaration of Gov. Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as winner of Saturday’s gubernatorial election in the state.

He urged the PDP candidate not to rely on INEC declaration as it was a fathom victory that cannot stand.

In a statement on Monday by Okey Ezirigwe, Director Media, Sen. Ayogu Eze Campaign Organization, the APC flagbearer said results declared by INEC from all polling units and local governments in the state on March 9 were oven-baked figures.

Sen. Eze wondered how such figures could be fabricated considering the very low turnout of voters in the entire state, resulting from boycotting of polls by APC

supporters due to the mistreatment of Eze

by INEC. He said “the stark evidence of a highly depressed voter turnout that indicates about 65 per cent drop on the general turnout during the presidential and National Assembly elections challenges the legitimacy of the electoral process and undermines the freakish and offbeat victory claimed by the PDP.” The statement reads in part: “It would be recalled that a few days before the election, INEC published the final list of governorship candidates for the governorship and state House of Assembly elections in Enugu state on its website, without the names of the APC governorship and deputy governorship candidates for Enugu state, a situation the electoral body strangely explained resulted from a court order.

“On March 7, the Court of Appeal cleared whatever legal obstruction the INEC invoked, declaring Sen. Ayogu Eze, in a unanimous decision, the validly nominated governorship candidate of APC

in Enugu state.

“The Appeal Court judgment compelling INEC to immediately restore our candidate on the candidates list, was served on INEC the same day which it acknowledged, but refused to effect, up to the moment polls closed on Saturday, in clear violation and contempt of the court order, leading to unlawful exclusion of our validly nominated candidates.

“This development occasioned massive voter apathy leading to the lowest voter turnout ever recorded in Enugu state. We make bold to state that it’ll be a miracle if as many as 100, 000 persons participated in the Saturday election in the state, if the card reader is queried.

“The government in Enugu state clearly refused to work for the people, only having its mind fixated on winning a second term through fowl means, including the suffocation of opposition through sponsored intrigues, deception, manipulation of the people and collusion with unseen forces, to influence the outcome of the election.

Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed says with the victory of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the Feb. 23 and March 9 general elections in Kwara state, the party’s broom has swept the state clean of hegemony politics.

The minister who stated this at a post - election news briefing on Monday in Ilorin, added that the long battle for the emancipation of Kwara had been attained with the outcome of the polls.

Addressing newsmen, the minister said that with the unprecedented victories, the people could confidently say that “the Berlin Wall of hegemony politics in Kwara has finally fallen for good.

“It is a great victory for all the good people of Kwara and we give all gratitude to God for this victory. It is beyond our power. Then, of course, we thank most sincerely the good people of Kwara.

“To the long-suffering people of Kwara, this is your victory. You worked hard for it. You made incredible sacrifices and your efforts paid off. You said enough is enough and it came to pass. Thank you to all the good people of Kwara.

“Never again will anyone enslave you under the guise of dynasty or hegemony politics. Never Again.”

We’re monitoring investigations on Boeing 747 Max 8, says Air Peace Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo Air Peace said Monday that it is monitoring ongoing investigations surrounding the crash of Boeing 737- Max 8 aircraft belonging to Ethiopian Airlines to enable it take concrete decision on the ten brand new aircraft type it placed a firm order for from the Boeing Corporation Limited last year.

Its spokesman, Chris Iwarah in a statement issued in Lagos, said the airline had to make clarification on the matter because of numerous calls and enquiries it received on its official response to the crash.

The statement reads: “The Management of Air Peace Airline has thought it imperative to clarify that Air Peace recently placed a firm order for 10 brand new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft. We are, however, yet to take delivery of the aircraft as we are still at the design and configuration stage of the order.

“This clarification has become necessary in view of numerous calls and enquiries on our response to the incidents involving the B737 Max 8 aircraft. Although it is premature to comment on the incidents, we wish to assure members of the flying public that we are closely following and monitoring developments on the issue as an airline that prioritises the safety and well-being of our customers.

“While we keep engaging with our partners in this regard, we repose implicit confidence in Boeing and aviation authorities to capably and satisfactorily address all the issues if at the conclusion of ongoing investigations it is discovered that the challenge is with the B737 Max 8.

Post – poll Nigeria: The tough path for Buhari 2019 – 2023

Fr Livinus Onogwu

Political temperature is settling in Nigeria after the hotly contested presidential election which albeit marked with logistical issues has given Buhari of the APC another term at the helm of affairs in Africa’s largest economy and populous nation.

“There is no perfect election anywhere in the world” is now the political theology of perfecting imperfections. Although there are alleged tampering with the process in favour of the ruling APC using state resources to influence voters, there may not be sufficient grounds to nullify the election as was the case in Kenya. Settled as such, a tough path awaits Buhari’s second term.

The logistical problems and attempts at manipulating the process to tilt result towards one end show that electoral process is less than transparent thus calling on all stakeholders especially the electoral commission (INEC) to migrate from its analogue management considering the magnitude of work and materials involved in elections in the huge country.

Having won the mandate of majority of voters, Buhari can settle down to really work hard not only to turn the fortunes of the nation around but to redeem his sickly and slow first term.

Buhari’s plate is packed and he needs to scrutinise those to bring on board as he prepares to start his second and final term. Like Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, the legacy of this second term is crucial for the future of Nigeria, the future of APC as a political platform, and the place of Buhari in the annals of Nigerian democratic history. In a sense, a second term gives Buhari another chance to define himself in clear terms.

Poor economic performance, unemployment, high inflation, insecurity, infrastructure decay, poverty, poor public power supply and many others are all crying for urgent attention. While the utter focus on the fight against corruption is commendable, a unilateral focus on fighting corruption without development attention to other sectors inadvertently creates rooms for further corruption to breed.

Hopefully, Buhari must have learnt some vital democratic lessons from the outgoing first term. This is an important component that will make or mar the second term. Coming from a military background, Buhari has shown in the first term that constitutional provisions can be ignored and employed at will and when it suits situation and interest of those in power. In his

drive to block abuse of democratic principles, Buhari tends to be rather autocratic. His sense of the rule of law needs to be purified.

Some of the serious abuses and rape of the constitution, incompetence and excuses in the first term will not be tolerated in the second term.

Political appointments as reward for political loyalty and patronage rather than competence or expertise is a beautiful temptation to watch in this second term. There is a federal character principle which stipulates geographical distribution of positions but Buhari in the first term did not take this into consideration as his appointment was largely lopsided.

It is imperative to highlight the loud silence of those who did not vote as well as those who voted for PDP. The 11 million plus who voted for PDP badly needed a change having suffered tough times under Buhari for the past four years. There is only 4 million difference between PDP and APC. In effect, there is a great desire for change and continuity in equal measure. The number calling for change says a lot about all that is wrong.

Buhari has a daunting task of not only uniting the politically sharply divided nation but also meeting the aspirations of the

over 11 million who at the ballot expressed dissatisfaction with his first term and frankly wanted him back to Kastina. Concerning those who did not vote at all (about 57 million eligible voters), their apolitical posture goes to say that they have no trust in either Buhari of the APC or Atiku of the PDP. The difference between them is the same. The over 70 candidates who vied for the presidency also shows rising agitation that seeks to offer Nigerians a new leadership experience away from the same old people-same old story philosophy that has for long defined the country’s democratic life.

The saying that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown is very true in the leadership of Nigeria and would be real for Buhari in this second term. As Buhari continues as president, Nigerians are anxiously watching and waiting: would it be business as usual? Would Nigerians be pleasantly surprised by a positive change in the game? Would APC truly take Nigeria to the much publicised “next level”? Many questions are loading and time will rightly answer them. However he leads the country into the coming years, Nigerians know that he will not in his wildest, dream of going beyond 2023.

How I celebrated this year’s Women’s Day

Uddin Ifeanyi

I have never taken part in any official celebration of the International Women’s Day. No claims here. Just a matter of fact acknowledgement. And a couple of weeks back, I had no reason to think it was going to be any different this year. Well, that was before my friend was invited to speak at one of the events with which the day was commemorated last week — and after I decided to tag along.

There were very few men in the cavernous hall in which the event was scheduled to take place — a sense of insignificance that was magnified much earlier by one effect of turning up early for a Nigerian function: a near-empty hall! But, by the end of the day, that was the least of my peeves. Arguably, at first, the high table looked more distinguished than the larger part of the audience. Which looked okay.

For it promised a thorough-going discussion of the many themes around which this year’s event was organised.

After this, it was almost all downhill.

Speaker after speaker (bar one — and all female) took to the podium to entertain the audience with their impressive biographies.

And impressive these were — from retiring at 43; through juggling work, parenthood, spousal responsibilities, and sisterly duties. The audience lapped it all up — ecstatic at the innumerable successes and cooing when the

going toughened. A celebration, it truly was! And you could tell that for many in the audience, the whiff of success emanating from the highoctane women on the high table was far more powerful than any opioid.

But, and this was me holding counsel with myself, isn’t the conversation about women about a different sort of power? The rights of the girl child, for instance? And her power over her own body — so that she’s not forced into early marriage, nor threatened by the stigma from medical complications often associated with this. How much of this right is helped by demanding that every girl in Nigeria should get at least 12 years of schooling — up to SS3? There’s research out there that shows that even when not much is being taught at school, keeping the female child in school until she’s 18 keeps her out of early marriages, and depresses a country’s fertility rate. How much of sex education ought our girls to be exposed to, and how early? And what levels of contraceptive availability ought we to tolerate as a society?

Then there is the rural female and the ones that make up the urban underclass. Small scale entrepreneurs and service providers these invariably are.

But nearly always, the payment of one school fees or hospital incident away from bankruptcy.

Would it matter that they had 12 years of education leading into womanhood? How important is it

for the outcomes we seek that this cohort were privy to sex education early, and have non-sniggering access to contraceptives? If we were to trade-off for scarce resources, and then sequence for the biggest outcome for each intervention on behalf of our women folk, would it matter how much formal finance reaches this category of our women, and how this is sourced?

Having seen successive efforts at boosting domestic financial inclusion flounder, what are we to make of the recent directives by the Central Bank of Nigeria on payment services banks?

None of these questions were posed, nor alluded to, as each power-female powered her way through her allotted ten minutes.

By the time each was done, I had no doubt that the glass ceiling was still intact. You would have thought that spurred by the challenges faced by their colleagues at the bottom of the pyramid, our female elite would be alive to the reforms needed if we must improve local workforce participation. I wasn’t sure if the talk about support infrastructure for working women was enough proxy for the provision of cheap and reliable nurseries and crèches in both the private and public sectors. But the ululating that accompanied references to finding family members that made a woman’s return to work after childbirth easy suggested that there was a rich vein to be mined

in this regard if the problem and its solutions could but be properly phrased.

In the end, my friend provided a barely-noticed exception to the triumphal narrative. She spoke to these issues. Acknowledged the need to form advocacy groups, drive changes to legislation, and improve political representation for women if we’re to begin resolving them. Then, for added measure, she hinged the sustainable resolution of the female problem on proper attention to the acculturation of the male child! I didn’t think it was enough, though. For not enough in the audience were paying attention.

We may have celebrated the achievements of these females in their respective fields. But together, the “distinguished speakers” at this one event barely scratched the surface of the “female problem” in Nigeria. Given a fulcrum (political voice, for instance, as demanded by my friend) could any of them move the world (strengthen female advocacy and enact legislation in support of improved access to finance and better working conditions for Nigerian women)?

At the end of the programme, I couldn’t but ask my friend why she didn’t raise the urgency of these needs in her presentation. She said she feared that she’d be talking down to the audience. Thankfully, she didn’t feel a need to re-air her laundry to the rhythm of that much frenzy.

Editorial Commentary 2019 Senatorial election: A testament that power is transient

Times Guest Columnist Omoshola Deji

NIGERIA’s huge population and profitable politics make the struggle to occupy public office intense. Many do wrongs to have their way and the incumbents hardly retire. After spending their constitutionally allowed two terms, some power obsessed governors simply retire into the Senate, where members are allowed to spend limitless term. Governors use the Senate as a safe haven to sustain their political relevance. Not that alone, they handpick a successor and enthrone themselves as political godfathers. The just concluded national assembly elections kick-start the fading of some of these tin-gods into oblivion. The feared giants fell like Goliath.

Colossus who were before this time seen as undefeatable were defeated. This piece examines the factors and circumstance that brought about their defeat.

Nigeria runs a bi-cameral legislative house comprising the Senate which has 109 members and a 360 member House of Representatives. The rigor of assessing the circumstances that led to the defeat of political heavyweights in both chambers confined the writer to focus on the Senate. The Nigerian Senate is the meeting point of political bigwigs. The high number of prominent persons that contested the senatorial election further constricted the writer to focus on a particular class of contestant: the serving and former Governors who lose.

Bukola Saraki One of the most shocking defeat in the last senatorial election is that of Bukola Saraki. The exGovernor of Kwara State and Senate President lost in his bid to get reelected into the Senate. The Saraki Empire no one dare confront in the past is being demystified by hurricane ‘o to ge’. On the whole, ‘O to ge’ meaning ‘enough is enough’ is a movement against the reign of Saraki’s political dynasty in Kwara State.

The ‘o to ge’ mantra’s momentum is far-reaching and widely embraced. Kwara South’s longstanding hostility against Saraki made ‘o to ge’ swiftly gain ground in the region. Kwara North’s devastating infrastructure has made the population anti-Saraki, so they quickly embraced the ‘o to ge’ revolution. The hostility between Buhari and Saraki earned ‘o to ge’ patronage, particularly in the outskirt, close to Niger State, where the residents are sympathetic and loyal to the core north. ‘O to ge’ is also widely embraced in Saraki’s stronghold: the North-central, especially Ilorin.

The movement keeps gaining momentum as the APC stalwarts have faced Saraki’s disciples’ violence for violence, blood for blood, and money for money.

After ruling Kwara State for eight years and successfully installing his stooge, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, Saraki became a godfather and his words became law. Ahmed’s government is widely seen as a continuity of Saraki’s rule. They thus share the accolades of success and the criticisms of either’s shortcomings.

Some of the Saraki/Ahmed’s shortcomings that made the ‘o to ge’ revolution successful includes the backlog of unpaid salaries to civil servants and pensioners; Saraki’s alleged complicit in the Offa robbery fiasco; his corruption tainted reputation and trial; the lack of federal support owing to Saraki and Ahmed’s defection from APC to the PDP; and the elites, ex-loyalists and masses revolt against Saraki’s highhandedness, despotism and dynasty.

Many consider Saraki’s defeat as the manifestation of the law of karma, having betrayed his father to seize the political leadership of Kwara State. He leveraged on his father, Olusola Saraki’s extensive support base and political structure to emerge Governor, but later ousted him and enthrone himself as the godfather of Kwara politics. Against his father’s wish, Saraki installed Abdulfatah Ahmed as governor, instead of his sister Gbemisola Saraki. Rumors have it that Saraki’s father cursed him before passing away that he would be disgraced out of politics.

Oh power! Saraki is a big vessel, yet thou hast filled it and shown your transience! The mighty Bukola Saraki has fallen and may never rise again. APC’s Ibrahim Oloriegbe defeated him with 54,814 votes.

With Buhari’s reelection, even if Saraki had won, he would have been an ordinary member as the APC would do all to ensure he doesn’t head the 9th Senate.

Hurricane ‘o to ge’ is speedily pulling down Saraki’s dynasty and changing the dynamics of politics

in Kwara state. His fast-fall will almost certainly make his choice successor and PDP candidate, Rasak Atunwa, lose the forthcoming gubernatorial election. The encouraging aftereffect of Saraki’s lose is that Nigerians have gained more confidence that they can collapse the dynasty of political godfathers with their votes.

APC fanatics and Bola Tinubu’s apologists’ needs to format their reasoning. It is irrational to abuse the political godfather in Kwara and praise the one in Lagos. The fall of Saraki is a pointer that Tinubu’s fall is not impossible and near. A battle foretold does not kill a wise lame! It’s just a matter of time before Lagosians too shall declare that enough is enough. Saraki’s lose is a big lesson to Tinubu that power is transient and no one reigns forever.

Godswill Akpabio Former Akwa-Ibom State Governor, Godswill Akpabio suffered an unexpected (but deserved) defeat in the 2019 senatorial election. Akpabio’s lose is not unconnected with his defection from the PDP, the party under which he served as Commissioner and two term Governor. He was later elected Senator in 2015 and became the party’s first Senate Minority Leader despite being a first term lawmaker. The PDP made Akpabio a name, but he defected from the party, accusing her of not rewarding loyalty, apparently because (instead of him) Senate President Bukola Saraki was made the PDP leader when he defected from the APC. Akpabio ruled like Tsar when he was Governor. He determined who got what and when. He handpicked Udom Emmanuel has his successor and frustrated bigwigs such as Patrick Ekpotu and Nsima Nkere out of the PDP. Akpabio’s bossiness set off a frosty relationship between him and Emmanuel shortly after the latter became Governor. His excesses were unbearable, embarrassing and disrespectful to Emmanuel and his office. Akpabio would at the time make a bold entry into a state event, frolicking with his praise singers, disrupting the program, when the Emmanuel is already seated. The Governor could not tolerate this for long.

The fear of being prosecuted for corruption mainly made Akpabio join the APC. He left PDP for the APC he frustrated Nkere to join and now leading his governorship campaign. Upon defection, Akpabio secured the APC senatorial ticket, boasted he would win by a landslide, but the electorates stopped him. His lose is a testament that no one reigns forever and power is transient. PDP’s Chris Ekpenyong, the then deputy of ex-Governor Victor Attah, defeated Akpabio. The loss was a sweet revenge because Akpabio has not been in good terms with Attah and Ekpenyong, his former principals under whose administration he served as Commissioner.

The ruling APC fooled Akpabio and he fell for it.

Confident of winning the North, the APC needed to ensure President Buhari gets a comfortable victory by earning substantial votes in the South-south and South-east, which are PDP strongholds. Upon realizing it would be difficult to win the two regions, APC opt to reduce PDP’s votes by winning over some of her bigwigs. They succeeded in getting Akpabio and Emmanuel Uduaghan, the former Governor of Delta State. The APC celebrated Akpabio’s defection from the PDP. A special televised rally was organized to welcome him into the party. Akpabio felt happy, honored and was boasting he would bring water out of the rock for the APC. In no distant time, it’ll become clear to Akpabio that the APC only needed him and Uduaghan to destabilize PDP’s stronghold. Now that Buhari has won and they lost their senatorial elections, the APC bigwigs would in a little while frustrated them out of the party.

Akpabio’s name will fade into oblivion, if APC loses the upcoming governorship election in Akwa-Ibom.

His unceasing boast of having the capacity to dethrone the incumbent governor has made APC rely strongly on him. The party would ostracize him if Nkere lose.

He may be arraigned for corruption as the federal government may withdraw the prosecution amnesty granted to him when he joined the APC. Akpabio lost his senatorial election because the electorates largely sees him as a desperate politician, who because of hunger, sold his birthright for a plate of porridge.

OUR POSITION Stemming the upsurge of malnutrition among children Without mincing words, education and awareness are the first steps to understand and solve any problem.

But the problem of malnutrition is not an exception.

The ranking of Nigeria among countries with the highest number of children suffering from malnutrition definitely calls for concern.

Nutrition has a powerful influence on growth, development, and the productive life of every individual. Optimal nutrition at each stage of the life cycle is therefore a fundamental human right.

Furthermore, nutrition is linked to most of, if not all, the Strategic Development Goals (SDGs) and the right to food, adequate nutrition, and healthcare are fundamental to achieving the SDGs. Malnutrition is the lack of proper nutrition, caused by not having enough to eat, not eating enough of the right things, or being unable to use the food that one eats. Over-nutrition is also malnutrition. In children, malnutrition thrives when children go hungry or feed on monotonous diets based on highly processed carbohydrates, little fresh vegetables and no fruit.

According to a report by the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) on malnutrition burden in Nigeria, stunting, wasting and underweight rates have worsened in the country when compared to the same survey in 2015.

The MICS in 2017 puts Nigeria’s stunting rate at 43.3 per cent, as against 32.9 per cent in the 2015 survey. It shows that in 2017, the rate of wasting was 10.8 per cent, while in 2015; the figure was 7.2 per cent. The study also shows that underweight rate in the country was at 31.5 per cent in 2017, while in 2015, the rate was 19.4 per cent.

Global records recently showed that while stunting and other forms of malnutrition have reduced worldwide, from 198 million to 151 million people, the burden is presently increasing at an alarming rate in West and Central Africa, from 22.8 million to 28.8 million people.

Incidentally, ignorance of what is adequate diet, poverty and lip-service to strategic plan of action on nutrition by the Nigerian government has affected the intake of nutritious food in Nigeria. A review of trends in economic growth, health and nutrition in Nigeria indicates that the country is undergoing rapid socioeconomic, demographic, nutritional and health transitions.

But under-nutrition has continued to be persistently high and remains a challenge. Lately, the media is full of statistics about how Nigeria is home to the highest number of stunted children in the continent, percentage of wasted and under-weight children. Unfortunately, the statistics do not result in the adoption of essential family practices. It does not stop badly cooked food being served in private homes, restaurants, hotels and boarding houses.

Dishing out statistics is not solving the problem of inadequate-nutrition. Too often we choose our food for reasons of convenience, taste, availability and social acceptance. We prefer to love sugar and fat as kids. Many eat rice consistently for as much as thrice a day. Nutrition is the intake of food, considered in relation to the body’s dietary needs.

They are likely to have poor nutritional statusparticularly insufficient micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) which are essential for building good immunity, enabling efficient metabolism and full body functioning. It is, therefore, desirable to address and remove the conditions that make malnutrition thrive.

We are of he opinion that advocacy need to become loudest on the importance of taking adequate care of pregnant women with adequate nutrition and for the women to practice exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months after birth. Exclusive breastfeeding is said to reduce 50 per cent of killer diseases in children. The practice of exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life and the introduction of adequate complementary diet till the first two years of life are key to child survival and optimal growth.

It is also crucial that individuals adopt a nutrition-

based approach to food choices and eating habits to avoid the long-term effects of lifestyle malnutrition. In essence, this means changing from a diet high in animal products, refined and processed foods to one that is rich in fresh, wholesome foods, especially fruit and vegetables.

Another thing that needs advocacy is the promotion of natural foods, because they contain “life forces,” which is defined in terms of minerals and vitamins. Call them what you like, the fact remains that only the fresh foods, whether they are fruits, vegetables, milk, flesh or grains have their maximum quota of these life-giving elements.

From the afore-mentioned, our objective against malnutrition will be better achieved if we focus on addressing issues of status of women, the care of pregnant mothers and children under two, breastfeeding and importance of adequate nutrition and health. This is where telecommunication companies as well as the mass media should come up with public education on how to achieve optimum nutrition.

Sadly too, lifestyles have changed for the worse and not many Nigerian homes have gardens and poultries from which adequate protein could be sourced for consumption particularly, in the urban areas, which is why the urban poor languish more in malnourishment.

Mass poverty, no doubt, remains a major hindrance to life lived in abundance by Nigerians.

We therefore submit that while it is the duty of government to see to the welfare of the citizenry, families should give adequate attention to their children and their feeding habits. There should be home gardens where vegetables are planted even in the urban areas. Education of course, is key. The Ministries of Health, particularly, at the state level, should use local languages on all media platforms to sensitise people on how to give children balanced diet, using nutrient-rich local foods. We believe that this development will reduce malnutrition among children to barest minimum.

Short News Rivers: PDP carpets military for not threatens court action identifying rampaging uniformed men Tambuwal over inconclusive election Says Nigerian democracy under military siege

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has knocked the leadership of the military, especially the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai for denying the identity of uniformed of the army and air force playing unconstitutional roles in Saturday’s governorship poll in Rivers and few other South - South states.

The party bemoaned the negative involvement of the military in the nation’s electoral process, saying that it projects Nigeria to the outside world as a nation under military siege.

Addressing the press after a review of the March 9, governorship and state assembly elections in Abuja on Monday, PDP National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan blamed the Prof. Mahmood Yakubu led Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of submitting the commission’s independence to the Buhari Presidency and the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Ologbodiyan said that experience in Nigeria’s electoral process since 2015 shows that Yakubu’s name is synonymous with election manipulation.

Castigating the Nigerian military for denying the identity of the uniformed

men, the party’s spokesperson said that “it is unfortunate that the Nigerian Army in the 21st century can declare that those in army and air force uniforms disrupting the election process in Rivers and Kogi states were not genuine soldiers.

“It is unfortunate with the kind of leadership we have in our nation and the military. How do we belief that those soldiers that perpetrated electoral evil in Rivers and Bayelsa states are fake as claimed by the chief of army staff?”

The PDP expressed sadness that more than 58 persons lost their lives in electoral instigated violence, while unascertained number of PDP leaders were arrested few hours to election just to intimidate them and their leaders from participating in the election.

Ologbodiyan added that the “Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) accuses the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, of overtly playing the script of the Buhari Presidency and the APC by declaring governorship elections in states where the PDP is in clear lead as inconclusive.

“Our party insists that INEC under Prof.

Yakubu, has become overtly partisan, has surrendered its independence to the APC and carries on as a compromised umpire with obnoxious impunity, thereby sending

signals of being heavily bribed by the APC to alter results for its candidates.

“The PDP has full intelligence of how INEC is acting on instructions from the Buhari Presidency and the APC in orchestrating unwholesome situations and declaring already concluded governorship elections in Sokoto, Adamawa, Bauchi, Plateau as well as other states as inconclusive, immediately it becomes obvious that the PDP was set to win.

“This also informs the foisting of unexplainable stoppage and delays in the announcement of already collated results in other states where the PDP is clearly leading the race, from the results so far declared at the polling units.

“Our party has also been informed of how INEC is now seeking ways to use the situation to aid the APC to alter the results and announce APC candidates as winners in the elections clearly led by the PDP, just as it did in the 2018 Osun state governorship election.

“In some of the states like Rivers, the PDP has information of plots by APC to leverage on the declaration by INEC to unleash more violence in the state and push for isolated election where they can bring in more security forces to concentrate on forcefully taking over the state.

Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto state has threatened to approach the court and challenge the inconclusiveness of the state governorship election held last Saturday in the state.

This development came few hours after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared the governorship election conducted in the state as inconclusive.

Before declaring the election inconclusive, Tambuwal was leading with a slim margin of 3, 413 votes.

Following this development, Tambuwal is alleging that the electoral commission is yet to give reasons as to why an election re-run should be held explaining that “going by Section 179 (2) of the Constitution as amended, there was no clause that gives room for inconclusiveness.

“The returning officer, up till now, has not told us why (we should have a) re-run in each of the polling units. The Electoral Act is very clear on reasons for re-run or inconclusiveness.

“Where there is violence or malfunctioning of the card reader machine, what is expected is to record zero vote in such polling unit(s). If INEC did not do the needful, I will approach the court to test the viability of the commission’s technicality.

“Votes have been cast, we are clearly ahead with the highest number of votes in more than two-thirds areas of the state; therefore, INEC needs to come back and declare the result.

“The trend from Bauchi, Sokoto, Plateau and Adamawa states is worrisome. PDP has won the election in Sokoto and INEC should do the needful.”

Tambuwal also warned that challenging INEC’s decision in court does not mean the party will boycott the re-run.

“Challenging INEC’s decision in court does not say we will boycott the re-run. We will surely mobilize the electorate and confirm our resounding acceptability to the people of Sokoto state,” he added.

INEC orders arrest of 2 officials in Imo

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has ordered for the arrest of the election collation officer for Ohaji Egbema Local Government Area of Imo state, Kelechi Ezirim over alleged electoral malpractice.

Ezirim is currently cooling off in police custody following the directive.

The electoral body which ordered the arrest also handed over the electoral

officer in charge of Ohaji Egbema, Chris Ogbuadu, to the police.

This development is coming shortly after the electoral officers presented the result of the governorship election in the area amidst protest by agents of some political parties.

Both officers admitted to collating results from polling units where elections did not take place.

Ezirim said he was alerted that thugs

snatched electoral materials meant for some of the units, but later accepted the results emanating from the same units.

The returning officer, Francis Otunta, described the acts as electoral malpractices and ordered that the two officers be taken into police custody.

Collation of results resumed at the INEC premises after the incident disrupted the exercise in the early hours of Monday.

Pope appoints Kaigama bishop of Abuja archdiocese Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

His Holiness, Pope Francis, has appointed His Grace, Archbishop Ignatius Ayau Kaigama as the Catholic Bishop of Abuja Diocese.

Kaigama has been appointed to take over from His Eminence, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, who reached the retirement age of 75 years on January 29.

The representative of Pope Francis, Apostolic Nuncio to Nigeria, His Grace, Archbishop Antonio Guido Filipazzi, made the announcement on Monday in Abuja, during the opening ceremony of the

first plenary meeting of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Nigeria.

Filipazzi, who congratulated Kaigama on behalf of the pope said that even though the task is not an easy one, he cannot run away from the call of God. “We congratulate and pray for Archbishop Kaigama. I know that it is not easy for him. But, I told him like Abraham, go out of your land to the land God will show you and God will bless you and make you the father of many people,” Filipazzi said.

Until his appointment, Kaigama was the apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Jos and immediate

past president of the CBCN. The new Catholic bishop of Abuja Diocese is a priest of Jukun origin from Taraba state.

Born on July 31, 1958, Kaigama studied for the priesthood at St. Augustine’s Major Seminary in Jos and Rome respectively.

He was ordained a catholic priest on June 6, 1981 and was appointed Bishop of Jalingo Diocese by Pope John Paul II, now Saint Pope John Paul, and later consecrated as bishop on April 23, 1995.

In 2000, Kaigama was again appointed by Pope John Paul II to succeed the late Archbishop Gabriel Ganaka as archbishop of Jos.

The Independent National electoral commission has declared the Adamawa state governorship elections inconclusive.

While declaring the election inconclusive, Prof. Andrew Haruna said 44 polling units were characterized with elections malpractices cut across 10 local government areas of the state.

Tension in Taraba over suspension of guber result collation There is uneasy calm in Taraba state following the suspension of collation of the governorship election results in the state from 8pm on Sunday to 12 noon on Monday.

Some party agents at the INEC collation center in Jalingo have called on the INEC headquarters to bring a new collation officer to preside over the collation process in the state.

Mr. Sam Ada, who addressed journalists alongside other party agents in Jalingo, Monday morning accused the collation officer of the governorship election in Taraba, Prof. Shehu Iya, of the Modibo Adama University, Yola, of playing into the hands of some politicians by suspending the collation of results for 14 hours without any concrete reason.

Ada, who commended the INEC National Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, for the smooth conduct of the election in the state called on him not to allow the collation officer to tarnish his hard-earned reputation by trying to manipulate the people’s mandate.

Other political party agents who were at the press briefing demanded that the collation officer should give reasons why collation of election results was suspended for over 14 hours while results of various local government were ready for collation.

“We demand to know the reasons behind the suspension of governorship results here in Taraba? The world is watching us.

“We must know what is the problem, there is no crisis, there are no hitches, the environment is conducive, we the political parties are ready for collation, but only for INEC to take just two local governments and suspend the collation for over 14 hours.”

Why Onnoghen wants Danladi Umar to rescue self from his trial Andrew Orolua, Abuja Suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria ( CJN) Justice Walter Onnoghen who standing trial on six count charge before the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) for failure to declare some of his assets on Monday asked the tribunal Chairman Hon Danladi Umar to rescue himself from the trial.

Though, the tribunal in a brief ruling suspended it decision on the applications filed by Justice Onnoghen till the date it will deliver final judgment on the trial, counsel to Onnoghen, Chief Adegboyaga Awomolo (SAN) who spoke at the trial made it clear that the objections of the defendant centred around jurisdiction.

Onnoghen who walked into the dock yesterday with his personal chair and sat all through the session, probably had hoped that he would get a date for ruling on his two applications that touches on jurisdiction.

Chairman of the tribunal however ruled contrary to that expectation and hung Onnoghen hope of early relieve from the case until the end of his trial.

The CJN who spoke through his lawyer, Awomolo SAN said the core of the application is an invitation for the tribunal to consider the plight of the defendant who is entitle to fair hearing under an independent Tribunal.

He said that the tribunal must not only be seen to be impartial but its independence must be clear to all who come before it. He said that the proceeding which the defendant is subjected to is fundamentally defective.

The defendant is facing a trial in which the accusers, prosecution ,investigation and the jury are same person. Even a letter written by the chairman of the tribunal to the National Judicial Council (NJC), attested to this , when he explained that he is not accountable to the council but the President who appointed him.

Owomolo (SAN), said the second leg of Onnoghen fear is that he is being treated unfairly.

Onnoghen

There is a grave fear of bias against the defendant/ applicant. He urged the tribunal to hold that the circumstances of the case which were documented in the affidavit filed demonstrated impartiality.

The federal government , however, disagreed with Onnoghen application on the ground that the tribunal is part of the Executive arm.

Mr. Aliyu Umar (SAN), who represented the federal government at the tribunal maintained that at all criminal trial , either police or any other law enforcement agencies must investigate while the office of the Attorney General prosecute the matter in Courts.

According to Umar, the situation above is similar to the case in hand at tribunal where

the Code of Conduct Bureau investigated the defendant and the office of the Attorney General of the Federation is prosecuting.

He said that if the defendant had issue with composition of the tribunal , he should direct it on the act that established it.

He said that the tenure of members of the tribunal insured their independent . Besides, if the tribunal were to accept the prayer of the defendant , nobody will present him or herself before it for trial.

Umar said however that the crux of Onnoghen complaint is the tribunal order that directed the President to suspend him from office.

Onnoghen, he said , had appealed against that decision and his appeal is pending at the Court of Appeal where ruling is reserved.

Umar said that the Court of Appeal has power to look into his complain and reach a decision that will bind the tribunal since the defendant feel strongly about it. So it is not an issue that should be reopened at the tribunal.

But Awomolo said that the record of the appeal was before the tribunal so it can not look into what was not before it.

The federal government also yesterday made an attempt to extend the tribunal order suspending Onnoghen from office. Umar who orally move the application stated that its was necessary to give live to the exparte order whose life is limited to a certain period of time.

Umar said that the oral application for the extension will be moved today at the tribunal.

Earlier, yesterday Justice Onnoghen, while moving his first application had insisted that the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) has no jurisdiction to proceed with the six count charge brought against him by the Federal government.

Onnoghen told the tribunal that as a serving judicial officer, it is the National Judicial Council (NJC) that is vested with powers, first to entertain any misconduct level against him .

In a motion dated January 14, 2019, Onnoghen

through his counsel, Chief Awomolo (SAN), prayed the tribunal to strike out or dismiss the entire charges against him for want of jurisdiction.

Awomolo, cited sections 34 and 292 of the 3rd scheduled of the 1999 constitution as grounds that the CCT has no requisite power to deal with erring judicial officer without first resorting to the NJC. He said the powers of the National Judicial Council are superior to that of the Code Conduct Bureau when it comes to the issue of judicial Officer, adding that in line with section 292, the NJC must first indict a judicial Officer before any legal action can be taken.

In the second application dated January 31, 2019 and predicated on section 36 of the 1999 constitution, Onnoghen demanded that the chairman of the tribunal rescue or disqualify himself from further participating in the trial on the grounds that of fair hearing and likelihood of bias.

The defendant claimed that Umar had demonstrated sufficient bias against him in the conduct of proceedings and that it would be in the best interest of Justice for the CCT chairman to step aside from the proceedings.

Onnoghen stated that in the instant case, the executive arm of government where Umar belongs to is the complainant, investigator, prosecution and the judge contrary to the provisions of the law.

Responding, counsel to the Federal government, Aliyu Umar (SAN), however urged the tribunal to dismiss Onnoghen’s applications on the grounds that the applications lacked merit.

He said there is a difference between a judicial misconduct and failure of a public Officer to comply with the provisions of the Code of Conduct Bureau, adding that in the case of Ngajiwa cited by the defendant, Ngajiwa was accused of bribe taking, while the defendant in this case is charged with violating constitution provisions.

Hearing of the substantive matter continues Today at the tribunal.

Justice for the victim under the administration of criminal justice system Dinne Israel Chukwuemeka It was the Honourable Justice Chukwudifu Oputa in the case of JOSIAH V STATE (1985)1NWLR PT 125, that said: “any order allowing this appeal and also acquitting and discharging the appellant will not be an order made in the interest of Justice and Justice is not a one way traffic, it is not justice for the appellant only. justice is not even only a two way traffic, it is really a three way traffic – Justice for the appellant accused of a heinous crime of murder; Justice for the victim, the murdered man, the deceased whose blood is crying to heaven for vengeance and finally Justice for the society at large – the society whose social norms and values had been desecrated and broken by the criminal act complained of. It is certainly in the interest of Justice that the truth of this case should be known and that if the appellant is properly tried and found guilty, that he should be punished. That Justice which seeks only to protect the appellant will not be even handed justice. It will not even be justice tempered with mercy” The above squarely represents the purpose of the Administration of Criminal Justice Act 2015 (ACJA) as provided in its Section 1 (1): ‘’The purpose of this Act is to ensure that the

system of administration of criminal justice in Nigeria promotes efficient management of criminal justice institutions, speedy dispensation of justice, protection of the society from crime and protection of the rights and interests of the suspect, the defendant, and the victim.’’

A brief consideration of few crimes (having in mind that there is hardly any commission of crime without a victim) will show that indeed there is no justice to the victim in the administration of criminal justice. A crime/an offence is generally said to be committed against the State but we know that it is the individuals that makes up and forms the State and invariably perpetrates these crime (the defendant) or suffers the consequence of these actions that are criminal (the victim).

In administering justice on these acts, it is the case almost always, that either the defendant with the aid of a ‘’good’’ Counsel coupled with the usual ‘’lack of diligent prosecution’’ of the prosecutor is laid off the hook to walk the streets free or upon conviction, he/she is sent to the prison for a term. Close to justice for the victim (if still alive) is as provided in Part 32 of the ACJA, housing Sections 319 – 328 which deals with Costs, Compensation, Damages and Restitution.

However, a perusal of the above part will show that same is not enough in any way to assuage the pain, agony, depression and loose the victim

may have to go through. Taking the case of rape for instance, what compensation could be enough for a forcefully and unapproved carnal knowledge with its attendant ills? What jail term will be due and commensurate with the death suffered by a murder victim (the deceased)? Against who is offence of kidnapping, burglary, endangering life and health, abuse of office and more done to? Under the economic and financial crimes, the victim most times is the state who may have lost the tax payers money under its control but upon conviction, most forfeiture are to the best of the prosecuting authorities as against the victim.

At the end of the ‘’delayed and protracted litigation’’ that attends to the prosecution most times due to the calibre of persons involved and the ‘’behind the scene accomplice and accessories after the fact’’ the victim of the crime is mostly forgotten along the way while the proceedings sojourns through the wilderness that when the Officers will report to Moses thus: “We, your servants, have accounted for all the men who went out to battle under our command; not one of us is missing!’’, only the Victim here will not be accounted for, because his case must have succeeded in making money for the prosecution, the defendant may have enter into a plea bargain with the prosecution and it may end up that ‘’when all Israel saw (see) that the king refused

to listen to them, they answered the king: “What share do we have in David, what part in Jesse’s son? To your tents, oh Israel! Look after your own house, David!” So the Israelites (the victim in this case) went (goes) home.

It has been argued in several quarters that most perpetrators of crimes in the society are persons who had once been victims of these crimes and left without a remedy. The presumed corrective method of our prison system is also not helping to reduce the ills of the society as most convicts comes out more hardened and more determined to do worse since they have seen the much they stand to suffer.

Does this call for a new law in the administration of criminal justice system? Do we go back to the proverbial days of an eye for an eye? Do the Bench and the Bar need to be more proactive in the presence of these numerous laws at our disposal to ensure that justice is done though the heavens fall, however the truth of course remains that when justice is been done, the heavens stay in place as rightly said by Adesola Oguntade JSC in Amechi V. INEC & 2 Ors (2008) 5 NWLR (Pt 1080) pg. 227 @315.

May justice indeed be a three – way traffic; to the victim, the defendant and the society as it is only at that point that our society can thrive and make progress in combating crime.

Housing deficit: Experts want Buhari to prioritise mass housing development As part of an effort to bridge huge housing deficit in the country, some operators in the housing and construction industry have charged President Muhammadu Buhari to approach the issue of housing, especially mass housing, with all seriousness.

The experts told the newsmen in Lagos that the president had not done much in tackling the nation’s housing shortfall which stood at 17 million in spite of his remarkable achievements in about four

years.

Chairman, Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB), Lagos Chapter, Mr Adelaja Adekanmbi called for a serious review of the Federal Government housing policy in providing housing for the masses.

Adekanmbi said President Buhari should remember his campaign promise to make housing affordable to the people, noting that his administration did not do much in the period under review in that direction.

He pointed out that the huge deficit in the housing sector was worrisome and therefore stressed the need to address the matter with utmost urgency. “President Buhari should without any further delay; take drastic action in the provision of mass housing for Nigerians who are in dire need of low-cost houses,” he said.

Former Chairman, Nigeria Institute of Town Planners (NITP), Mr Markinde Ogunleye suggested that President Buhari should constitute a high powered

committee to look into the problem bedevilling the housing sector with a view to fashioning out a road map for the sector.

While admitting that there was already an existing committee on housing set up by the government, Ogunleye added that the existing committee may be fused into the new one.

“The committee should comprise of intellectual professional stakeholders in the built environment who can strategies on growing the sector”, he said.

Global economy hits weakest point in a decade - Bloomberg report Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Report by Bloomberg has shown that the global economy’s sharp loss of speed through 2018 has left the pace of expansion the weakest since the global financial crisis a decade ago.

Bloomberg in its economics report released on Monday stated that its new GDP tracker puts world growth at 2.1 per cent on a quarter-onquarter annualized basis, down from about 4 per cent in the middle of last year.

While there’s a chance that the economy may find a foothold and arrest the slowdown, “the risk is that downward momentum will be self-

sustaining,” say economists Dan Hanson and Tom Orlik.

The reasons for hope? The Federal Reserve’s decision to pause its interest-rate hikes, a U.S.China trade truce and the fading of the shocks that battered Europe in 2018 could mean stabilization is around the corner. Other central banks have also stepped up, with the European Central Bank last week announced new measures to help the economy through the current weakness.

But the global economy is not out of the woods. The OECD’s latest composite leading indicator - published Monday- indicates easing momentum in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, and the euro area as a whole, including Germany and Italy.

There are, however, signs of stabilization in China.

Despite the gloom, ECB policymakers have been keen to put a brave face on the deterioration, pushing the view the eurozone is experiencing a slowdown, not a recession. “We are still seeing robust economic growth, although it’s less strong than before,” Executive Board member, Benoit Coeure said in an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera published Monday.

“It will take longer for inflation to reach our objective, but it will get there. We are reacting to the developments we have seen so far.”

“We are still seeing robust economic growth, although it’s less strong than before,” Executive

Board member Benoit Coeure said in an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera published Monday. “It will take longer for inflation to reach our objective, but it will get there. We are reacting to the developments we have seen so far.”

Bloomberg Economists Say, “The cyclical upswing that took hold of the global economy in mid-2017 was never going to last. Even so, the extent of the slowdown since late last year has surprised many economists, including us.”

There has been a modest pickup in some economic numbers recently, though also highprofile disappointments. U.S. retail sales rose in January after the biggest fall in almost a decade in December.

Why ongoing OPEC-led supply cuts may not end till June Motolani Oseni There are clear indications that the ongoing Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC)-led supply cuts unlikely to end earlier before June 2019, even as crude oil prices rose marginally yesterday.

Although the increase in the oil prices was said to have been driven by comments from Saudi Arabian oil minister, Khalid al-Falih, for instance, the U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil futures stood at about $56.39 per barrel at 0323 GMT, up 32 cents, or 0.6 per cent from their last close on Friday, but Brent

crude futures were at $65.04 per barrel, up 30 cents, or 0.5 per cent.

Last December, OPEC members and their non-OPEC allies agreed to cut a total of 1.2 million barrels of crude oil from their supplies based on the October production levels.

While OPEC members agreed to cut about 800,000 barrels, their non-OPEC allies led by Russia resolved to cut their output by 400,000 barrels, in a bid to strengthen crude oil prices, tighten and stabilize the crude oil market.

The resolution was to be subject to a review to either extend the cut by June or discontinue after the monitoring team has reviewed the impact.

Despite the gains, commodities markets were somewhat held back after U.S. employment data raised concerns that an economic slowdown in Asia and Europe was spilling into the United States, where growth has so far still been healthy.

“Downward revisions in global growth forecasts by OECD and ECB have capped bullish gains,” said Benjamin Lu of Singaporebased brokerage Phillip Futures.

Oil markets have generally been supported this year by this ongoing supply cuts.

The OPEC is scheduled to meet in Vienna on April 17-18, with another gathering scheduled for June 25-26, to discuss supply

policy.

Saudi oil minister Khalid al-Falih told Reuters on Sunday it would be too early to change OPEC output policy at the group’s meeting in April.

“We will see what happens by April.

If there is any unforeseen disruption somewhere else. But, barring this, I think we will just be kicking the can forward,” Mr Falih said.

Prices were also supported by U.S. energy services firm Baker Hughes’ latest weekly report showing the number of rigs drilling for new oil production in the United States fell by nine to 834.

MTN Vs AGF: FIRS has no quarrel with our assessments over $2bn tax arrears - MTN CEO Ladesope Ladelokun As the battle over unpaid $2billion tax arrears between MTN Nigeria and AttorneyGeneral of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami persist, the Chief Executive Officer of MTN Group, Rob Shuter, has said that the nation’s tax authorities have no particular quarrel with the firm various tax assessments.

The telecommunication company boss also, said that the AGF is “playing games” over the federal government’s demand of $2 billion tax

arrears from the company.

Speaking at a conference call where MTN’s 2018 annual results were presented to executives and stakeholders of the company, Shuter said, “Now, of course, what’s odd about the Nigeria situation is it’s not the Commissioner for Inland Revenue that we have the dispute with. It’s the Attorney General, who is really not mandated to collect the tax.

“So the legal process is basically saying you’re playing a game that you’re not meant to be playing. And when we talk to the tax authorities they have no particular quarrel with

where we are with our various assessments.

“So either we get the thing chucked out early on and the issue is finished, or it is just one of these lingering things that roll around in the system for a while. And personally, I don’t know which way it’s going to play out.

“I’m just absolutely adamant that we’re a responsible company, we have paid the taxes we had to pay, and the tax authorities themselves aren’t saying that we owe them anything. So I think we’ve just got to stare this one down.”

Although, the hearing of the suit against the

AGF first scheduled for November 8, 2018, has been adjourned to March 26.

It would be recalled that in September 2018, Malami had written to MTN Nigeria, demanding a payment of $2 billion in tax arrears.

He broke the amount down to a 10-year period for import duties, Value Added Tax (VAT) and withholding taxes on foreign imports/payments.

MTN Nigeria had denied any wrongdoing, saying it had fully settled all outstanding taxes.

The telco also sued the AGF.

Access Bank signs $162.5m syndicated loan agreement Temitope Adebayo Access Bank Plc said that it has signed a Subordinated Syndicated Loan Agreement totalling $162.5 million.

The facility, was said to been arranged by FMO, the Dutch development bank, and was provided together with BIO (Belgian Investment Company for Developing Countries SA/NV), Blue Orchard Microfinance Fund, CDC Group plc, DEG (Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH), Finnfund (Finnish Fund for Industrial Cooperation Ltd), Oiko credit (Ecumenical Development Cooperative Society U.A.) and European Financing Partners S.A, funded by the European Investment Bank acting on behalf of the European Community and Norfund (Norwegian Investment Fund for Developing Countries).

FMO acted as the Mandated Lead Arranger and will be the Facility Agent.

The facility will qualify as Tier-II capital, which will enable Access Bank to roll out its 5-year strategy of becoming Africa’s gateway to the world.

Part of that strategy is also to deepen the footprint in the retail segment as well as increased support local Micro, Small, and Medium-size Enterprises, thereby supporting job creation in the Nigerian economy.

Commenting on this development, Group Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Access Bank Plc, Herbert Wigwe said, “We are pleased to have worked with a world-class group of lenders on this transaction. The deal further reinforces the fact that our institution remains globally respected and reputable.

“The syndicated facility is geared towards supporting the Bank’s efforts to promote the growth and job creation potential of the private sector through improved access to financing. Additionally, specific attention will also be paid to strengthening Micro, Small and Medium-size enterprises as many have been held back due to a lack of access to finance.

“We believe this relationship will be the beginning of many more international partnerships with such entities”, he explained.

Also, Chief Investment Officer at FMO, Linda Broekhuizen said: “FMO is proud to be the Mandated Lead Arranger for this landmark transaction. Through this transaction, FMO strengthens its long-standing relationship and commitment to our wellreputed client Access Bank.

The world’s second largest mobile operator Vodafone said on Monday it aims to cut its Italian workforce by 16 per cent as part of a broader effort to reshape its business model.

The mobile network intends to give increasing pressure in the country’s mobile market.

The company will open negotiations with local trade unions over 1,130 redundancies, it said in a statement on Monday.

Vodafone employs around 7,000 people in Italy, according to its website.

Earlier Telecom Italia has reached a deal with trade unions on 4,300 job cuts, a source familiar with the matter has said. (Reuters/NAN)

Workers need reinvigorated social contract – Ryder

By Ukpono Ukpong Director General of International Labour Organisation, ILO, Guy Ryder, has said that lack of social justice in the world of work has brought about skewed rules against ordinary people and the formula of education and dedication no longer brings just reward.

He noted that this has also triggers the fundamental questions about the legitimacy and relevance of institutions and systems.

Ryder noted that data has shown that these fears are not just subjective, as economic benefits and the labour market are out of sync and many wage growth has not kept pace with economic or productivity improvements adding that even rewards are not trickling down as they should.

“Many people don’t have regular wages at all. More than two billion people work in the informal economy, where contracts, benefits and rights are compromised. We might associate informal work with developing countries but it is now an everyday part of some of our richest societies. The rise of the ‘gig’ economy, facilitated by new technology, could lead to even more informal work.

“This is not the kind of world I want, in the present let alone the future. We need to pro-actively re-

engineer our systems and mould these trends to create a future of work that is stable and equitable.”

He said Recalling, how he instigated an independent, high-level Global Commission on the Future of Work two years ago, Ryder disclosed that ILO is already deeply engaged in the issue.

“Its report is already generating vigorous global debate, which will culminate in a high-level session at the Centenary International Labour Conference, in Geneva in June.

“From a personal perspective, I would like to highlight a few points. Currently, 55 per cent of the global population – four billion people – have no social protection at all. Without a social protection floor they are more likely to fall into working poverty and less likely to invest in- education for their children, retraining for themselves, starting businesses. The whole economy will suffer as a result.

“We are not powerless against this situation. Some of the same technology that the ‘gig’ economy uses to allocate and record work can also be used for social benefits.

Labour laws can be updated to cover new kinds of work. Crossborder co-operation on tax and regulation can ensure bricksand-mortar employers are not unfairly undercut by their virtual competitors.”

Guy Ryder said that, with a supported, just, transition,

18 million decent jobs could be created by a shift to more sustainable economic practices.

“We can prepare for demographic changes by making it easier for those who are marginalized or restricted –

women, youth, the elderly and differently abled, minority and indigenous groups – to participate in the workforce fully and equally.

A pre-requisite for all this must be real social dialogue.”

Similarly, he stressed that

if governments, workers and employers engage, it will create the foundation for a renewed social contract that will address the current concerns and as well pave the way for a future of work that is more equitable.

Artificial Intelligence: Opportunity or Job-Killer?

The rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to create new opportunities, higher productivity and better earnings, but there are also fears they could cause job losses and a rise in inequality, with a lucky few appropriating the benefits of AI while leaving others behind.

So the question, which way will it be? Can only be moderately optimistic, provided policy-makers and social partners adopt the right measures. This is the conclusion of a recent research paper written by a Future of Work and Artificial Intelligence Expert with International Labour Organisation, ILO, Ekkehard Ernst.

According to him, AI-based digital technologies may allow larger segments of the labour market to improve their productivity and access better paying occupations, which in turn may help promote inclusive growth.

Ernst in the report noted that historically, productivity and living standards have increased as a result of specialization and the transfer of more tedious, arduous and routine tasks from human labour to machines, example, modern farmers now using sophisticated machinery are clearly

better off and more productive than they would be if they used self-made tools to plough their fields.

He explained further that a large reduction in capital costs brought about

by AI applications, together with the fact that the direction of technological change is, at least in part, driven by the relative supply of low compared to high-skilled labour, means developing countries stand to benefit.

In many cases AI users don’t need to know much about how the technology works or to provide sophisticated input into the devices they use. Rather, their day-to-day use will allow AIbased tools to generate advice based on overall best practices combined with local circumstances. This creates low entry barriers for the spread of these new technologies and allows training and education to be focused on core numeric and literacy skills.

This means that even countries that lack the resources to teach the skills needed to produce AI applications can make wide use of such applications, creating large potential growth benefits.

However, if the opportunities are to exceed the risks, policies need to be adjusted, at both national and

international levels.

This will include helping the workforce adjust. With technologies evolving rapidly, education and training need to go far beyond the school years, so that workers can be upskilled or retrained as needed during their careers. Life-long learning will need to become a reality if the world of work is to benefit from these new technologies, now and in the future.

Hence, he opined that skills policies are essential, but they will not be sufficient. “We need to ensure the diffusion of new technologies around the world and open up access to data.

Policy-makers and social partners also need to ensure that individual companies cannot gain market dominance and so exclude others. In this regard the observed rise in market concentration among digital firms is a matter for concern and needs to be tackled head on.

“We need to devise tax policies that level the playing field among companies, boost international cooperation and ensure social dialogue, so allowing technologies and their benefits to be shared more effectively.”

Elections: Group charges political stakeholders not to rubbish army Stories by Patrick Okohue The Human Rights Writers Association, HURIWA, has called on politicians and stakeholders not to rubbish the Nigerian military institution over the outcome of Saturdays’ governorship and House of Assembly election.

The group while wading into the controversy trailing the activities of the Army during the polls, especially in Rivers State, also urged the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai to investigate the series of trending online videos which appears to indict some armed security forces on a number of serial electoral offences and for instigating violence in Rivers, Bayelsa and some other flashpoints in the crude oil rich Niger Delta region.

HURIWA, in a statement on Monday by its coordinator, Emmanuel Onwubiko, pointed out that the leadership of the Army has already established a good and qualitative antecedent as a no nonsense hierarchy and will in the not too distant time sanction about 38 senior military officers who underwent investigative and military prosecutorial trial over their alleged interferences in the year 2015 general polls.

It added that “If this Army hierarchy had done this it can always do the needful now that it has become imperative for it to separate the few bad eggs from the

professional institution of the military if they are found guilty by the internal investigative mechanisms.

“But we must be careful not to run down the military institution which we took over 60 years to build. It is usually more difficult to build but much easier to destroy.”

HURIWA said the claim by the military authority that there were incidents of fake soldiers that were deployed by politicians during the governorship polls should not be dismissed with a wave of the hands since there are verifiable evidence that indeed hundreds of suspected fake armed men masquerading as soldiers were picked up in Imo, Rivers, Ondo and other areas and are currently being interrogated.

It added, “We urge Nigerians to remember that the institution of the Nigerian military is created by law to serve public interest and so must be preserved and insulated from undue politically tainted allegations that may not stand the test of time.

“We are not unaware of some allegations by some governors in the Niger Delta accusing soldiers of collusion to undermine democracy, but we must give the Army the benefits of the doubts and assist the military institution to embark on holistic probe with the objective of preserving their political neutrality and to build an enviable professional institution that all of us and our children yet unborn would be proud of.

“We must not allow our temporary and unbridle quest for political power to lead us into the temptation of running down such a formidable institution like the Nigerian Army because of the alleged malfeasance and misdemeanour of a few undesirable elements who may have derailed from the time honoured ethical and legal principles clearly listed out by the Chief of Army Staff on the need to abide by Rules of engagement in internal security operations.

“We have a written proof that the Army has a mandatory manual on rules of engagements in internal military operations in line with best global practices.

“The Nigerian Army said it got credible intelligence that kitting of political thugs with military uniforms and arming them to impersonate soldiers.

“We have seen photographic evidence in HURIWA of these verifiable allegations by the Army.”

Recall that the spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Colonel Sagir Musa in a statement said thugs were sent to carry out crimes in furtherance of the activities of their political bosses.

HURIWA stated that the military’s version of the scenarios should be given a benefit of the doubts because for instance the Imo State Police Command on Sunday paraded 103 suspects who allegedly instigated violence and various electoral malpractices during the Governorship and state Houses of Assembly elections held in the state on Saturday.

CUPP rejects Kaduna guber results, vows to challenge irregularities in court The Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP), an umbrella of 41 political parties and 18 governorship candidates in Kaduna State has rejected the outcome of the gubernatorial election in the state.

This is just as governorship candidates under the auspices of Progressive Governorship Candidates Forum have congratulated Governor Nasir El-Rufai over his victory in the Saturday governorship election in Kaduna state.

CUPP Chairman, Hon. Umar Farouk Mairaqumi at the group’s press conference said their rejection of the elections results was because elections in some local government areas were marred with lot of irregularities.

According to him, “the Smart Card Readers (SCR) was not used in some parts of the state like; Igabi, Kaduna South, Kaduna North, Giwa, Lere, Birnin Gwari and Soba local government areas.

“Over 650 polling units with over 400,000 votes were cancelled and our agents reported at various collation centres, but INEC decided to ignore our

complaints and went ahead to announce the results.

“It is in the light of the above that we the 37 political parties and 18 governorship candidates that participated in the gubernatorial election in Kaduna State hereby reject the result in its totality and we shall pursue all lawful means to ensure justice is done to the people of Kaduna State and their stolen mandate restored,” Mairaqumi explained.

But, the progressive governorship candidates who had few days before the election endorsed El-Rufai said, the Governor’s re-election was an indication that he has delivered good governance to the people of Kaduna State.

Briefing newsmen shortly after the declaration of the governorship results at the INEC collation centre, chairman of the progressive candidate forum, Awwal Abdullahi, asked other candidates to concede defeat and work with El-Rufai to move Kaduna State to the ‘Next Level’.

The forum which consists of 49 political parties and 32 governorship

candidates urged aggrieved political parties or candidates to follow the right channels in challenging the outcome of the polls.

Ugwuanyi

Enugu: Ugwuanyi’s re-election, victory for masses – Lawmaker A former House of Representatives member for Enugu North/South Federal constituency of Enugu State, and now lawmaker-elect for the same area, Hon. Prince Ofor Chukwuegbo, has described Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi’s success at the Saturday’s election as “a victory for the masses.”

While describing the Governor’s victory as resounding and overwhelming, Ofor who spoke in a statement made available to journalists on Monday, said it was an indication of “how our people have cherished the good works which our dear governor embarked on in the state in the past four years.

“Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is a phenomenon and has manifested attributes of a leader for his people. The mandate is a renewal of hope and delivery of more dividends of democracy.

“I want to congratulate the Enugu

people and our great party, the PDP for reposing this confidence in the governor.

“This is a well-deserved reward for one good term and purposeful leadership that will continue to receive accolades. Ugwuanyi is a man of peace and the people have re-elected him in peace.

“This victory is for the masses of Enugu and I can only wish him even more fruitful, peaceful, and eventful new term as he continues on the path of excellence and service.

“I thank God also that the PDP recorded overwhelming victory in the State House of Assembly election and I congratulate our party men and women who emerged.

“The landslide victory of the PDP in the 2019 elections at all levels in the state has confirmed the acceptance of the fact that the party represents the conscience of the people,” he added.

The Chief Whip of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Rotimi Lateef Abiru who has just been reelected for the fourth consecutive term at the March 9th Governorship and the House of Assembly election has said that his renewed mandate will not be taken for granted.

Abiru who is representing Shomolu constituency 02 assured his constituents that he will not as usual betray their trust and the confidence reposed in him.

The lawmaker gave the words of assurance while thanking the people of Bariga after he was declared the winner of the election. Abiru who

declared the election as free and fair, added that there were no issue of failed smart card reader as recorded during the presidential and National Assembly election in some areas.

He further thanked the people for their orderly conduct while according to him, voting for a greater Lagos saying their trust in the All Progressives Congress (APC) as demonstrated at the election would not be taken for granted. He reassured the people of the area of more development.

Abiru urged Lagosians to continue to have faith in the Greater Lagos Project, Stressing that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will give the people the greater Nigeria that the people deserved.

NO. 894

Bright future for Nigeria’s oil while the people suffer degradation and poverty From the first day Nigeria founded crude oil in Oloibiri, to 1960, when the nation got independence from British rule; and up till today, everything about economy and development have heaped on oil, largely.

Because of oil, Nigeria, a country that fed the world with cocoa, cotton, palm oil, groundnut and animal skin, among other resources, suddenly abandoned them and went to sleep.

Today, even as Nigeria earns billions of Dollars from oil rent year in, year out, its economy continues lies prostrate while its national currency, the Naira, is a laughing object before the currencies of other countries, including ‘smaller’ countries in West Africa and other parts of the continent.

Although the largest oil exporter in Africa, Nigeria’s economy is always sick because, no matter how much the nation gathers from sale of oil, it needs revenue from others sectors especially agriculture and other sectors to meet the requirements of its teeming population.

But no,. Successive governments have only paid lip service to economic diversification while enjoying easy money from oil.

According to available reports, Nigeria’s daily crude oil production increased to nearly about 2.09 million barrels in 2018, which comes to to a nine per cent rise when compared with the 2017 average daily production of 1.86 million barrels.

A statement issued by Ndu Ughamadu, Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs (GPAD) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) quoted the corporation’s Group Managing Director (GMD), Maikanti Baru as saying that Nigeria had maintained a line of consistent year-on-year improvement in its daily crude oil production.

He quoted Baru as saying also that the Nigerian Petroleum Development Company, Nigerian Gas Company, Petroleum Products Marketing Company, Duke Oil, NIDAS and Integrated Data Services Limited, were among the companies that boosted the corporation’s performance in 2018.

Baru singled out NPDC, the corporation’s upstream company, as the major contributor to the industry’s success story in 2018, expressing enthusiasm on the 52 per cent daily crude oil production growth by the company when compared with its 2017 performance.

He explained further that the average crude production from NPDC’s operated assets alone grew from an average of 108,000 barrels of oil per day in 2017 to 165,000bod in 2018.

As Nigeria pumps more volumes of oil to the international market, the country gets billions of Dollars in return but its citizens hardly feel the impact of the huge petrodollars while a few people both at the government and private sector top echelon stuff their pockets with money.

Latest statistics show that the nation’s oil revenue went up by 129 percent to N9.4 trillion in 2018 aided by increase in crude oil price as average price of

Nigeria’s crude oil; Bonny Light rose by 26 percent to $70.66 per barrel in 2018 from $52.51 per barrel in 2017.

With the above, the economic report for the fourth quarter of 2018 ( Q4’18) released by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) showed that total oil revenue rose by 129 percent to N9.4 trillion in 2018 from N4.1 trillion in 2017. Non oil revenue also rose by 21 percent to N3.9 trillion from N3.2 trillion in 2017.

Consequently oil revenue accounted for 71 percent of the total federally collected revenue which rose by 82 percent to N13.3 trillion in 2018 from N7.3 trillion in 2017.

But the total federally collected revenue fell by 4.8

percent to N2.4 trillion in Q4’18 due to decline in non oil revenue.

“At N2.41 trillion, federally-collected revenue in the fourth quarter of 2018, was lower than the proportionate quarterly budget estimate of N3.32 trillion billion by 27.4 per cent. It also, fell below the receipts in the preceding quarter by 4.8 per cent.

“The decline in federally-collected revenue (gross) relative to the proportionate quarterly budget estimate was attributed to the shortfall in receipts from both oil and non-oil revenue components during the review period.

While the Nigerian government is always pressing to have more oil supplied into the

international market in order to rake in huge revenue in Dollars, the people of Niger Delta and most Nigerians in general have little or no benefit from what was once described as black gold by an international journalist In the Niger Delta area where Nigeria’s crude oil is deposited, the people suffer multiple disadvantages ranging from destruction of their farmlands, pollution of the air they breadth as well as poisoning of their waters and aquatic life which they depend on.

In addition, both the federal and states governments have failed woefully in addressing the socio-economic challenges facing the people.
