FG expresses delight as GDP hits highest since 2016 Continued from page 1 improvement.

The report showed that the real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 2.38%, indicating the strongest quarter growth since the economy slipped into recession in 2016.

The full year 2018 real GDP stood at 1.93%, higher than the 0.82% growth rate recorded in 2017.

The Minister was particularly encouraged by the fact that the growth was largely driven by the non-oil sector which grew by 2.70% in the quarter, posting a growth of 2.0% for full year 2018, representing the strongest growth in non-oil GDP since the fourth quarter of 2015.

These results, he added, reflect the Buhari administration’s continued implementation of targeted policies, programmes and projects across various MDAs and other sectors of the economy as set out in the ERGP. “Adherence to the ERGP has resulted in the economy coming out of recession and heading towards sustainable economic growth,” he said.

At the Dialogue Session on Nigeria’s Economy organised by Deloitte in Lagos penultimate Thursday, the Minister had indicated that with the policy actions of the Buhari Administration in the last three years and the sustained implementation of the ERGP, the Nigerian economy will continue to maintain its recovery and increase its growth trajectory in 2019.

He had told the participants at the dialogue that though the growth performance is

still not where we would like it to be, the direction of growth indicates a positive momentum, especially with regard to the non-oil sector.

“Our aim is to take all measures necessary to ensure that we increase the growth rate whilst maintaining fiscal sustainability”, he had stated.

The 2018 fourth quarter GDP result reinforces the Minister’s position as it shows a 0.57% increase over the 1.81% real GDP figure posted in the third quarter of the year and indicates a stronger growth level than the 2.35% which the Buhari administration inherited in the second quarter of 2015.

These numbers, released in accordance with the NBS Release Calendar, are the final quarter and 2018 full year figures.

According to the NBS report, real GDP grew by 2.38% in Q4 2018 compared to 1.81% in Q3 2018 and 1.17% in Q3 2017. For the full year 2018, real GDP growth stood at 1.93%, higher than the 0.82% achieved in 2017.

The report further shows that the growth was driven by the non-oil sector in Q4 2018, up from 2.32% in Q3 2018; 2.05% in Q2 2018 and 0.76 in Q1 2018.

This also compares favourably with -0.33% in Q4 2016 and 1.45% in the corresponding quarter in 2017. For the full year 2018, it indicates that the non-oil sector stood at 2.0% as against 0.47% in 2017.

A further breakdown of the non-oil sector shows that the Q4 growth was driven by Transportation which grew by 9.48% (13.91% for 2018), the Construction sector by 2.05% (2.33% for 2018) and Electricity by 0.95% (7.30% for 2018). These three sectors form major parts

of the infrastructure component of the ERGP, which has been one of the priority areas of the Buhari administration.

Other non-oil sectors that drove growth in Q4 2018 include Telecommunications (16.67%), Agriculture (2.46%) and Quarrying and other minerals (20.9%). There was also strong growth recorded in the Manufacturing sector which grew by 2.35% compared to 1.92% in Q3 2018 and 0.14% in Q4 2017.”

While the non-oil sector drove GDP growth in Q4 2018, the oil sector slowed down with Crude oil and Gas GDP contracting by -1.62%, compared to -2.91%in Q3 2018.

Industry performed better as it grew by 0.95% compared to -0.11% in Q3 2018.

The report also indicated that Services GDP growth recorded its best performance in 11 quarters, growing by 2.90% in Q4 2018 compared to 2.64% in Q3 2018. While growth in the economy was moderated by the contraction in the oil sector, 39 out of 46 economic activities recorded positive growth in Q4 2018.

The Minister while reviewing the growth performance observed that the encouraging result in GDP growth is also consistent with improvements in other indicators including inflation, foreign reserves, exchange rates, trade balance and capital inflows, amongst others.

The Minister was therefore happy and most encouraged as these indices show an economy that is on the mend and on the path of recovery to sustained growth.

“It is a clear indication that our programmes and policies are on the right track,” he added.

ASUP suspends two-monthold strike Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja

The Academic Staff Union of Polytechnics (ASUP) has suspended its two-month-old strike.

Addressing a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday, ASUP National President, Mr. Usman Dutse, said that the decision to suspend the strike was taken at the end of the union’s National Executive Council (NEC) meeting.

Dutse however noted that the union would not hesitate to resume the suspended strike should government fail to review the Memorandum of Action (MoA) and ensure full implementation before end of May 2019.

He said: “The NEC of the union, after exhaustive

deliberations and in due consultations with the respective congresses across the nation, resolved to suspend the current industrial action.

“This is based on the condition that government committed to review the Memorandum of Action to concretise the resolutions and ensure its full implementation by end of May 2019, failing which the union shall resume the action at its discretion.”

Dutse also noted that the request for a revitalisation fund of N15 billion had been made by the Minister Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, in lieu of the NEEDS assessment.

He said government has equally made a public pronouncement on the issue conveying the government’s approval for the release of the sum as requested.

“It is expected that the funds shall be made available for disbursement to deserving institutions by April 2019.

“Equally, the approval of the NEEDS assessment report shall be pursued with all diligence to ensure a sustained and effective intervention in the infrastructure and other needs of our institutions,” he added.

The union president also said on the issue of salary shortfall, promotion arrears and allowances that N16.7 billion has been released.

He said that the union was informed of the release of N16.7 billion covering agencies of government, including affected Polytechnics cleared by the Presidential Initiative for Continuous Audit for shortfalls and promotion arrears.

FG, PDP in verbal war over Saturday poll Bonaventure Melah and Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The Federal Government and the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday, engaged in verbal war over allegation that the erstwhile ruling party plans to scuttle the presidential and National Assembly elections slated for Saturday.

Raising the allegation, the Federal Government said it has uncovered plots hatched by the PDP to instigate violence with a view to causing panic and voter apathy in some parts of the country.

In a statement signed by Segun Adeyemi, Special Assistant to the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed and released in Abuja on Tuesday, the Minister said the plot was hatched by the PDP in furtherance of their overall agenda to discredit the election before Nigerians and the international community as well as create constitutional crisis.

According to him, the plan has lent credence to the alarm raised earlier by the Federal Government on 21st January and 3rd February, 2019 that the PDP was planning to scuttle the election and, where that fails, discredit

it.

The Minister said that in the days ahead, PDP bigwigs, including its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, his running mate Peter Obi, PDP Governors and others, are planning a world press conference in order to level frivolous and unfounded allegations against the Federal Government and the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Alhaji Mohammed said that part of the false allegations the PDP has planned to make is that the Presidency, in connivance with the APC, want to force the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to announce presidential election results that are favourable to the government in power, on the basis of the false premise that the APC’s intelligence team is worried that the ruling party would lose the elections.

He said the PDP bigwigs also plan to use their world press conference to further disparage the Buhari Administration as well as the ruling APC, with a view to painting an unfavourable image of both to Nigerians and the international community and to put the government on the defensive in the run-up to the polls.

The Minister said the PDP’s last joker is a two-hour live press conference to be addressed by the PDP Publicity Secretary, Mr. Kola Ologbodiyan, on February 14, the last day of electioneering campaign, to chronicle all their concocted allegations and lies against the ruling government, cast aspersion on government and ruling party officials and throw innuendos here and there. ‘’As electioneering campaigns wind down, the PDP has realised that it cannot possibly win a free, fair and credible poll, it has thus resorted to engaging in red herring, hauling insults and abuses at Federal Government and ruling party officials and making outlandish allegations with a view to creating a sense of panic and crisis. ‘’The truth is that President Muhammadu Buhari, a man respected globally for his integrity, has continuously assured that the elections will be free, fair, credible and peaceful. He has warmly welcomed observers, both local and foreign, because he has nothing to hide, and because he is sure that the achievements of his Administration will win him re-election. ‘’We are therefore calling on all

Again, NBA asks FG to discontinue Onnoghen’s CCT trial As A’Court, tribunal resume case today

NJC may decide fates of suspended CJN, acting CJN today

Andrew Orolua, Abuja Ahead of today’s plan to arraign the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen, on 6 count charge for non-declaration of assets at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) has again urged the Executive arm of government to discontinue the trial.

This is even as the appeal filed Justice Onnoghen at the Court of Appeal Abuja division challenging the decision of the CCT to hear his preliminary objection on jurisdiction and the suit together comes up today before Justice Ibrahim Aboki-led panel.

However, it is not certain yet, the purpose the appeal will serve after the President had placed him on suspension and the appellate Court overruled his request for a stay of proceedings at the Tribunal.

In adducing reasons for asking the Executive arm of government to discontinue Onnoghen’s trial at the CCT, the NBA said that one of the two petitions against the Justice Onnoghen at the the National Judicial Council (NJC) is an exact replica of the petition that motivated the CCT charge.

It further said that the petition was reportedly presented by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and commended the government for adhering to due process by submitting the EFCC petition to the NJC for consideration.

The NBA said: “In like manner and in adherence to the law and

due process, we urge the FGN to discontinue the CCT Charge and allow the NJC consider the initial petition which, as widely reported, has already been responded to by the CJN. “Second, the Chairman of the CCT, Hon. Danladi Umar, in his response to a petition that was written against him and which was forwarded to him by the Federal Judicial Service Commission, states emphatically that he and his Tribunal are answerable and report only to the Presidency, by law and practice.

“He is absolutely correct. An insistence, in the circumstance, on the CJN, the head of an independent arm of the FGN, standing trial before a Tribunal that is under the Presidency and is answerable only to the Presidency, mocks the concept of and completely erodes the independence of the judiciary and the constitutional separation that should exist between the three arms of the FGN. “It is precisely for this reason that our Constitution created the NJC and we are pleased that the FGN has warmed up to the utilisation of that due process, as illustrated by the submission of the EFCC petition to the Council.

“Third, and complementary to the two points afore-stated is the fact that the spectacle of having our CJN, while still holding that title, in the dock before the CCT or any other Court, truly diminishes all of us, not least the Executive arm of the FGN. “The NJC process allows an initial determination to be made on the petitions against the CJN and if His Lordship is found liable or wanting

howsoever, appropriate sanctions would be imposed by the NJC including recommendation for his dismissal or retirement.

“In that event, he would no longer hold the office or title of CJN and could be prosecuted for any criminal infraction before the CCT or any other Court.

“An insistence on the CCT prosecution paints a picture of persecution of the CJN by the Executive and such a spectacle in no way ennobles the FGN Executive arm and/or its officials. Such a scenario should be avoided by all means.

“Given these non-exhaustive considerations and facts, “we press on the Executive arm of the government to please discontinue the Charge against the CJN when the matter comes up before the CCT tomorrow, Wednesday, 13 February 2019.”

“We respectfully urge full compliance with due process by government in this matter by allowing the NJC process to take its course in respect of the two petitions against the CJN – a step that has already, commendably, been embraced by FGN in respect of the EFCC petition”.

The NJC on Monday constituted a ‘Preliminary Complaints Assessment Committee’ under its own Regulation 17 to consider the responses of Hon. Mr. Justice W.S.N. Onnoghen, and Hon. Mr. Justice I.T. Muhammad, to the three petitions written against them.

The Council will reconvene today (Wednesday), February, 13, 2019 to take decision on the report of the Preliminary Complaints Assessment Committee.

Atiku

Nigerians and the international community to disregard any attempt to scuttle or discredit the polls. We urge observers to keep an open mind.

There is no cause for alarm, except in the warped imagination of the PDP, which has entered the panic mode and is already ruing the loss of another general election even before it has been held,’’ the Minister concluded.

Reacting to the allegations, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) said no amount of fabrications, false alarm, blackmail and resort to violence by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Buhari Presidency can sway Nigerians or help their plots to rig the 2019 Presidential election.

The party said the Buhari Presidency’s fresh attempt to use its chief propagandist, the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, to lay further false allegations on the PDP has failed, because Nigerians already know those plotting to scuttle the elections by inciting violence and issuing death threats against others.

PDP National publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement, said the Minister failed to react to President Muhammadu Buhari statement in Zamfara State on Sunday where he urged his supporters to get ready to fight and unleash violence on other Nigerians.

“What has Lai Mohammed to say to the threat by his party’s chieftain and governor of Kaduna State, Nasir el-Rufai, who declared that members of the global democratic institution working for peaceful election in our country will return to their countries in body bags?

“Lai Mohammed has nothing to say to the Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organisation, Rotimi Amaechi, who raised a war chant and threatened Nigerians at the APC Presidential rally in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.

“It is clear to all that violence, death threats and plot to disrupt the elections have become an official policy of the Buhari Campaign Organisation, having realised that President Buhari has no chance in the February 16 Presidential election”, he said.

The party said Nigerians are all aware that it is ready and working hard for this election and that its candidate, Atiku Abubakar, has been traversing the nooks and crannies of our country campaigning and receiving overwhelming support

by Nigerians, across the board, who have already reached a consensus to

elect him as the next President of our country.

The PDP therefore charged Nigerians to remain alert, resist the incitements of the APC, protect one another, insist that the Presidential election must hold on February 16 and do all, within their legitimate rights, to protect their votes to the very end.

In another development, the PDP said fresh facts available to it have shown that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is responsible for the burning of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) offices in various parts of the country.

The party said it already has the details of how the APC mobilised misguided elements in its fold to burn INEC offices and destroy electoral materials and equipment in Plateau, Abia and Anambra State.

“Our party is also privy to clandestine plots by the APC to burn INEC offices in some other states, so as to paralyze the commission’s operations in such states, and pave the way for the isolation and postponement of Presidential elections in those states; after which it plans to unleash compromised security agencies to muzzle the shifted polls in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Having realised that President Buhari has no chance in a credible, free and fair general election, the APC now plots a violent staggering of the polls so as to use security forces to re-enact the same rigging formula it used in the 2018 Ekiti and Osun governorship elections.

“In attacking INEC offices and destroying the card readers, APC seeks to cripple the commission’s use of full benefit of technology that will guarantee a credible biometric voter accreditation.

“The PDP in very unequivocal terms insists that it will never accept any attempt by the APC to postpone the Presidential election in any state of the federation. The Presidential election must hold in all the states on the 16th of February and President Buhari will be served his defeat certificate”, Ologbodiyan said.

The PDP charged Nigerians to resist the desperation of the APC, for which it has now resorted to burning INEC offices.

It as well charged INEC to note that the APC is after it facilities and as such put stronger measures to protect itself from the assaults of this desperate party.

Court remands ex-SGF, Babachir Lawal in EFCC custody Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Federal Capital Territory High Court sitting in Maitama district of Abuja, on Tuesday, remanded the former Secretary to the government of the Federation (SGF), Babachir Lawal, in custody of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) pending the determination of his bail application.

Chief Akin Olujimi (SAN), counsel to Babachir Lawal, applied for his bail.

Olujimi informed the court that Babachir had abided by the terms and conditions of the administrative bail granted to him by EFCC since April 13, 2018.

Counsel to others defendants, Mr. Sunday Ameh (SAN), Mr. Napoleon Idenala, and Mr. Ocholi Okutupa applied for their bail.

The prosecuting counsel, Abubakar, however, opposed the bail applications by the defendants’ counsel.

EFCC said that these offences are contrary to Section 12 of the Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Act, 2000.

S’Court strikes out 4 appeals, denies APC chance to field candidates in Rivers Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The hope of All Progressives Congress (APC) fielding candidates for Saturday, February 16 and March 2 general election in Rivers State on Tuesday vanished into thin air as Supreme Court struck out four separate appeals that would have restored their candidacy.

The Supreme Court, however, said it will communicate to the parties the date it will give full reasons for the decision striking out the suits.

Justice Amiru Sanusi, who delivered a short ruling on the appeal filed by APC against

Ibrahim Umah, said that having considered the arguments of both parties on the preliminary objection, “there is substance in the preliminary objection.

The preliminary objection is sustained. Appeal struck out .Details for the reasons will be given later”.

Three other appeals filed by APC, Tonye Cole and Ojukaye Amachere on identical issue patterning to the Ward and Local government congresses was argued on Tuesday after they were consolidated. It suffered same fate as Justice Amina Augie struck it out.

In unanimous ruling, the fiveman panel of the apex court after hearing arguments from counsel

on the preliminary objection filed by Ibrahim Umah stood the matter down for some minutes.

When the panel resumed, Justice Amina Augie struck out appeal. She overruled the submissions of the parties seeking to be joined on the ground that they are not a party to the appeal.

Earlier, while arguing the preliminary objection, counsel to Ibrahim Umah, Henry Bello had urged the Supreme Court to strike out the appeals for the reason that they were status barred.

He explained that all the APC appeals that emanated from the judgment of Court of Appeal Port Harcourt division were caught by the forth Alterations to the Constitution of the

Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (amendment Act No 21) ,2017.

The amendment, he added, provides that all pre-election suits must be filed within 14 days from the date the action complained of occurred. It also provides that the trial Court must hear the suit and determined it within 180 days and that appeals arising from the Court judgment must be filed at the appellate Court within 14 days from the date of judgment.

But Ohimenim Wisdom Jerome, counsel to the party seeking to be joined Ojukaye Amachere, said that the issue for determination before the Court was not a pre-election matter but merely about APC ward and local government leadership.

Your votes will count, Buhari assures Nigerians Says there’ll be no intimidation, ballot snatching

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has assured the people of Nigeria and the international community that their votes will count at the general election maintaining that he is all out for free, fair and credible elections starting on Saturday. February 16.

Buhari gave the assurance on Tuesday in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State and Port Harcourt, Rivers State during a meeting with traditional rulers at the secretariat complexes of the Councils of Traditional Rulers of the two states.

The President said: “I assure you that I’m all out for free, fair and credible elections. The Independent National Electoral Commission,

INEC knows my stand on this.

“Nigerians are assured of free and fair elections. Under this leadership, nobody will be allowed to intimidate other citizens. Nobody will be allowed to snatch ballot boxes and run with them. I will make sure that the votes count.”

Buhari commended the introduction of the Permanent Voters Card (PVC) and Card Reader, and urged the nation to embrace the technology, arguing that without it, the sixteen years of misrule by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would not have been brought to an end.

“In 16 years, the PDP thought nobody could remove them from office. The introduction of the PVC and Card Reader made sure that our votes counted in 2015 and the votes

of Nigerians will count in 2019,” he stressed.

On the issue of security, the President repeated his commitment to ensure the protection of lives, property and the territorial integrity of the nation, while urging the traditional rulers to play their part as expected of them.

“The question of security begins with you,” the President told the royal fathers, even as he commended them for calming down the restive situation in the Niger Delta.

“Through you, we have been able to persuade the militants to change their attitudes. I congratulate you on the roles you played that stabilized the security and the economy of the country,” he said.

Governor Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State, at the reception,

commended President Buhari for his statesmanship and love for the country.

On his part, Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State called for a peaceful conduct of the elections.

The Chairman of the Bayelsa State Council of Traditional Rulers, His Majesty Alfred Diette-Spiff, who commended the President for the appointment of citizens of Bayelsa into key positions and the infrastructure projects being put in place, added that the state deserved more.

“A schedule from the office of the Federal Ministry of Finance containing institutions contained in the phase one of the shortfall refund payments has been released.

“Our union notes that 11 institutions from the sector are cleared to receive funds from the approved tranche. Our union has been reassured that the next phase will contain more institutions. ”The government reported moves to review the instruments for accreditation to include such requirements. The union was informed that NBTE had been directed to cease further regulatory activities in such institutions.

The union also condemned the alleged move by the legislative arm of government to establish additional 80 higher institutions in the country, saying it was not in the interest of the masses.

Tinubu: I’m not going anywhere, I remain Gidigba in APC Patrick Okohue, Lagos National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, has said he has no plans to leave the party for any other as being insinuated by some and that he remains gidigba (solid) in the governing party.

A video where Asiwaju Tinubu, at the APC Presidential Campaign rally in Abeokuta, Ogun State, was seen throwing the party’s flag to National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole to give to the party’s governorship candidate in the state, Prince Dapo Abiodun, was being framed by opposition Peoples Democratic Party to mean he was throwing away the party’s flag.

In a statement on Tuesday night by his Special Adviser, Media, Tunde Rahman, the APC leader denied throwing away the party’s flag as being insinuated by PDP. “If you want to fault Asiwaju for anything in this matter, your critique can only be limited to the accuracy of his toss. Any attempt to enlarge the episode beyond this is fiction and mischief writ large,” he clarified in the statement.

Agreeing that an incident did actually occur at the Ogun State APC rally, he said it was not the one PDP concocted.

“The true incident that should be reported and condemned is that people who furtively oppose the party and the president tried to infiltrate and disrupt this rally.

The attack by these operatives was disrespectful of the office of the president and could have potentially harmed the person of the president,” the former Lagos State governor stated.

The statement reads in full: “With but a few precious days until the election and with its chance of victory running out even faster than the time, the Peoples Democratic Party now grasps at the most nonsensical and desperate tactics to salvage its falling enterprise.

However, a drowning man cannot toss himself a lifeline. Nor can the PDP succeed in turning the innocuous attempted exchange of a flag between the National Leader and National Chairman into a rift in the APC’s successful campaign.

“An incident did actually occur at the Ogun State APC rally but it is not the one PDP has concocted. The true incident that should be reported and condemned is that people who furtively oppose the party and the president tried to infiltrate and disrupt this rally. The attack by these operatives was disrespectful of the office of the president and could have potentially harmed the person of the president.

“Such antics have no place in our political discourse. The author of these misdeeds should desist before real harm is done. Now to the crux of the opposition’s latest antics. If the issue of the flag has become the hotspot of the PDP campaign, then they are in serious trouble.

“During that portion of the Ogun rally, the National Chairman and others were looking for a party flag. Asiwaju Tinubu spotted one within his reach. He picked it up and attempted to toss it to Chairman Oshiomhole so that the Chairman could present it to the party’s gubernatorial candidate Prince Dapo Abiodun. If you want to fault Asiwaju for anything in this matter, your critique can only be limited to the accuracy of his toss. Any attempt to enlarge the episode beyond this is fiction and mischief writ large.

“As the National Leader, Asiwaju Tinubu is thoroughly faithful and committed to the APC. It is unthinkable that he would leave the party. Moreover, there is no reason for him to do so. He has been hard at work for the victory of the APC and all of its candidates in the upcoming election.

“Asiwaju understands the bigger picture. He knows what is at stake in this election. Either the nation moves forward along the progressive path of the APC or it will be forced to retreat into the ills of the past created by the PDP. With the nation’s future hanging in the balance, Asiwaju will not allow himself to be deterred by petty mischief.

“Those spinning this matter should make better use of their imaginations. Asiwaju is not going anywhere. He remains gidigba (solid) in APC. And after the election, he will be there celebrating the APC’s and this nation’s victory over those who would prevent us our rightful future”.

Election: ‘1,922,127 voters get PVC as police, INEC ready for credible poll in A’Ibom’ Isaac Job, Uyo Ahead of Saturday presidential election, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Akwa Ibom police command said they were ready to conduct free and credible election as the electoral body has released over one million permanent voters cards (PVC) to eligible voters in the state.

The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Akwa Ibom Mr Mike Igini while addressing Chairmen of political parties, security operatives, INEC officials and other stakeholders at the state police headquarters, Uyo disclosed that out of 2,119,727 registered voters

only 1,922,127 voters received their permanent voters card to qualify them to vote in all the elections.

Igini recalled that when he was deployed to Akwa Ibom, he first of all relocated 22 polling units hidden in politician houses to commit electoral fraud.

He maintained that election would be conducted in a manner that there would be no room for rigging by politicians no matter how smart they could be in their rigging strategy.

“Election result would be transmitted first at the polling unit through SMS and the figures sent to collation centres to be confirmed by agents of political parties “.

Igini regretted that politicians have turned election period to war causing the whole world to beg us for smooth conduct of our general election which is embarrassing to our nation” In his remarks, the Akwa Ibom commissioner of police Bashir Makamaar who arrived the state yesterday assured the stakeholders that security has positioned to check electoral violence.

“If you give me trouble I would also give you trouble.”

He said even police men who are not accredited with tag for election duty would be arrested and earned politicians to play the game with decorum to avoid embarrassment.

Short News Threat of violence: PDP urges ICC to interrogate Amaechi Says Buhari, el-Rufai, Amaechi statements plots against peaceful election

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has asked the International Criminal Court (ICC) to immediately list for interrogation, the Director General of the Buhari Campaign Organization and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi, for inciting violence with war songs at the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign rally in Port Harcourt, Rivers state on Tuesday.

The PDP noted that the threat of violence by Rotimi Amaechi which came few days after President Muhammadu Buhari called on his supporters to get ready to fight; as well as the threat by Governor Nasir el-Rufai of Kaduna state, who declared that members of the global democratic institutions working for peaceful elections will return to their countries in body bags, have all exposed APC’s plot against peaceful elections in Nigeria.

The party found it completely unbelievable and reprehensible that Amaechi, who had the privilege of governing Rivers state for eight years, will resort to importation of thugs into the state and inciting violence, just because the people have rejected President Buhari and that the All Progressives Congress (APC) has no candidate in the state for the general elections.

The PDP in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan said Nigerians understand “Amaechi’s frustration as a salesman of a failed product, in President Buhari, which he also attested to in his leaked audio recording, but seeking to vent this frustration on the peace-loving people of Rivers state is totally unacceptable.

SDP reaffirms endorsement of Buhari, suspends Ondo Secretary for alleged anti-party activities Adewale Momoh, Akure The Social Democratic Party (SDP) has insisted that its earlier endorsement of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Candidate (APC), Muhammadu Buhari, for the 2019 general elections subsists.

The party’s position was reaffirmed by the Acting Deputy National Chairman (South), Dr. Olu Agunloye, at a press conference held in Akure on Tuesday evening.

According to Agunloye, “it is too late for SDP to campaign for its candidate with few days to the general election, hence the reason for the adoption of Buhari.”

Recall that the SDP had on Saturday, SDP adopted President Buhari for re-election at the polls.

Agunloye who also stated that the party was reorganizing itself in the country to be an alternative platform, added that it is imperative to work for the victory of other SDP candidates vying for other elective positions aside the presidency.

“The vision and goals of the party are beyond endorsement of candidates for the 2019 general election, but improving the gains of representative democracy in Nigeria.

“SDP is to be strengthened beyond the February 16 election, what is very important for us at this critical period is building this party as a formidable force and alternative platform political for the future.

NAF commences airlift of electoral material for INEC Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF), on Monday, February 11, 2019, commenced the airlift of electoral materials for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) across the country for the conduct of Saturday and March 2 elections.

NAF aircraft is undertaking both day and night exercise in the airlift mission.

A statement by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Nigerian Air Force Air,

Commodore Ibukunle Daramola, said that both sensitive and nonsensitive electoral materials are being conveyed in batches, with NAF C-130 Hercules aircraft from the Nnamdi Azikwe International Airport, Abuja to various airports across the country.

The materials were duly delivered by the C-130H aircraft crew to teams of INEC and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) officials together with security personnel waiting at the various airports.

It would be recalled that the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar,

during his meeting with Air Officers Commanding (AOCs) and NAF Field Commanders on 1 February 2019, had expressed the readiness of the NAF to avail INEC its transport aircraft to enable expeditious movement of electoral materials, as done in the past.

It is pertinent to state that the transport aircraft are deployed solely to provide airlift support to meet INEC’s logistics requirements, in fulfillment of NAF’s constitutional role of providing Military Aid to Civil Authority.

The ruling party, All Progressives Congress (APC) has assured Nigerians that it will deliver on all plans and programmes promised citizens during its electioneering campaign.

At a motorcade rally on Tuesday held at Ejigbo area of Lagos state, ahead of next Saturday’s general election, APC loyalists from Ejigbo/Isolo area of Lagos drummed up support for the re-election bid of President Muhammad Buhari and other candidates at state and national levels.

Speaking at the rally, Programme coordinator, Lagos Commissioner for Information and Stategy, Kehinde Bamigbetan, said that the event was organised to remind people of the need to know their civic responsibility as Nigerians who have inalienable rights to vote and be voted for during election, and particularly to use the train to showcase their candidates vying for various political offices to the prospective voters.

“Today we are having a rally and a road show to parade our candidates and to engage people on the street to let them know that APC is the party to vote for and we are making a case of continuity because we believe that we have used the time of four years to reposition the direction of this country towards sustainable development of national economy. We believe that this is the only way for us,” Bamigbetan said.

Election presents opportunity to choose whoever has Nigeria’s interest at heart - Adams Patrick Okohue, Lagos As Nigerians go to the polls on Saturday, February 16, the Aare Onakakanfo of Yorubaland, Iba Gani Abiodun Adams has said that the elections presents Nigerians the singular opportunity for them to choose a leader that has the interest of the country in mind and that will rule the country for the next four years.

He urged all the standard bearers contesting the elections to go into the polls with civility, saying Nigerians’ attitudes matter in ensuring a peaceful election.

Speaking shortly after holding a special meeting with the leadership of the Oodua People’s Congress (OPC), a group with formidable structure in 28 states across the country and Abuja, the Federal Capital, (FCT) Adams, restated his belief in restructuring, saying it is the best option for Nigeria as a nation.

“We are in the crucial week as election is a few days away. Elections will come and go; however, the future of Nigeria is very important to us as a people. One of the mistakes we do as Nigerians is that we place much premium on who becomes the president, without setting strong agenda for the future.

It will never happen in saner climes, there should be agenda for the Nigerian future, and that is why this election is key to the Nigerian future.

Time to seek a healthy democracy

Aniebo Nwamu

Nigeria’s brand of democracy looks like a HIV/AIDS patient. Its health deteriorates with each round of elections. The incidence of violence before, during and after polls has risen steadily from 1999. Vote-buying is the new name for bribe-for-vote democracy.

Our democracy is not growing – it’s marching backwards instead. The ritual we perform every four years hasn’t yielded the “government of the people, by the people and for the people” envisaged by Abraham Lincoln. Or will this year’s general election, which begins this Saturday, throw up truly elected representatives of the people?

The size of election petitions has increased.

Several members of the bar and the bench have always looked forward to this time in order to make a killing. INEC’s partiality has manifested in brighter colours with every subsequent election. The electoral body has become an irritant that digs deep into public funds: this year, government funded it with N250billion, against N80—100billion in previous elections.

INEC’s budget tells just a little part of the story. We now have over 90 parties – 73 of them fielded presidential candidates for this year’s election, but only two are likely to make any impression on the vote figures – and the candidates have been breaking the banks to run their campaigns. Spending limits once decreed

by Inec are null and void and of no effect: everybody has violated the law but nobody has been caught. The actual amount wasted every election year – along with the collateral damage in terms of human lives and property – can never be quantified. It’s perhaps the actual reason for the perennial economic recessions in the country.

Our economy, almost always on tenterhooks, can’t take the American model of democracy.

Our forefathers didn’t waste lots of money in the course of selecting their leaders. Those who transplanted the presidential system to the Nigerian soil ought to be in jail! And I’m not referring to only former military leaders who midwifed the past three republics. Their civilian collaborators also lacked original thinking – they were always looking up to the west for ideas.

Now it’s clear that Nigeria democracy is imperilled. We’re trapped in an unworkable political system, and our economic system can’t therefore stand. Why wouldn’t there be a recession where fewer than 1, 700 idle “leaders” consume a third of resources belonging to

200million people? We have multiplied offices in 774 local government areas and in 36 states and the FCT, yet only a few people engage in actual production of goods and services. Foreign debt, which the country exited in 2005, is back: it is estimated that 60% of annual budgets will be used to service loans from next year. Local debt has ballooned too: we hear that government has borrowed over N6trillion of N9tr pension funds.

The unending “war” on terrorism is gulping funds the nation doesn’t have. Any money spent on the military appears wasted.

Over the past two or three decades, many have suggested original plans for democracy in Nigeria. In 2002 a group called “The Patriots”, fearing the calamity politicians’ salaries and allowances were doing to the common purse, had approached President Olusegun Obasanjo with a plan to change the constitution – the fraudulent 1999 constitution written by a few people in their bedroom — to make way for a limit of one term for political officeholders.

Obasanjo told them “you can’t change the rule of the game in the middle of a match”. After he had been re-elected in 2003, he set up a constitutional conference which the Senate later threw out together with Obasanjo’s third-term ambition.

This same 1999 constitution has been amended in bits since 2001, yet nothing substantial has been achieved. The National Assembly has gulped billions of scarce naira for constitution amendment since then. All other Nigerian presidents in this Fourth Republic have made attempts to achieve political reform: Umaru Musa Yar’Adua set up the Muhammed Uwais Committee shortly after his inauguration in 2007; sadly, sickness never allowed him to rule. Goodluck Jonathan forwarded a bill for a six-year single tenure for officeholders in 2011; he was shouted down. He later set up the 2014 National Conference, but he lost election a few months later and the confab’s recommendations went to the trash can. President Buhari set up his own political reform committee headed by former Senate president Ken Nnamani in October 2016; the panel and its prescriptions died prematurely. All these prescriptions have been ignored, yet the conferences and panels put together have cost billions of taxpayers’ naira.

Nigeria is going nowhere without farreaching political reform, which would lead to administrative and then economic reform also.

I have talked about one cure-all solution several

times. It needs repeating.

The colour of democracy I propose for Nigeria is one in a lighter form: Spend little money to achieve great results. Take governance to the grass roots, so communities could take charge of their affairs – elections, security, tax collection, population census. Here is how it works: Every adult Nigerian (age 18+) gets their biometric data captured and stored in a national database. Rather than hold a national ID card, driver’s licence, tax information number, voter card, bank verification number, social security number/card, and whatever may be invented later, the Nigerian needs just one identity card and number. With this card, he votes at elections, pays his tax, pays for his driver’s licence, gets his passport, opens a bank account, gets registered as a government employee, and pays whatever fees to the government. This card is compulsory for every adult. Payment of tax – even as little as N1, 000 per year – will also be compulsory for every adult.

For every election, INEC recruits its ad-hoc staff only from federal and state civil servants – they need such additional work because they do virtually no work in offices – who must reside near their places of work.

All politics is local: every election is therefore conducted from the ward level. Our plan here is an improvement on Option A4 first implemented by Professor Humphrey Nwosu in 1992. It was a huge success, but Nigerian leaders detest innovation.

The voter register isn’t difficult to compile.

From the database alone, the computer prepares the register — with each voter’s name, age, place of residence, and ID card number — within a second! Those who aren’t up-to-date in their tax payment are excluded automatically.

Election riggers have a hard time paying for ghosts and foreigners, even if they evaded the prying eyes of law agents and local chiefs. Inec officials have no room to manipulate polls; they know they will be traced easily, and the punishment is severe.

With an authentic voter register, Inec conducts free and fair primaries for parties and the actual elections. On each voting day, you queue behind the poster of your preferred candidate; Inec counts, announces and records the total votes from each of 120, 000 polling stations. The results are fed into the computer at the nearest INEC office and… there you have

winners and losers within an hour after close of polls.

Leaders other than councillors emerge by an electoral college. Those who win at the ward level sit to select a local government chairman from among them. They also select lawmakers at the state and federal levels. And state lawmakers elect the premier or governor.

The selected federal lawmakers elect the prime minister from among them. Commissioners and ministers are also selected from those who won elections at the ward level; whenever there is a need to change any commissioner or minister, an election is conducted at their ward.

The model I propose is neither the presidential nor parliamentary system. It’s original – a model that would serve us Africans at little cost. The toxic baggage we already have will not let any government policy bear fruit.

I have always said that we missed it during military rule. If the jackboots had really been benevolent, they would have turned Nigeria around for the better, for they had the chance to take shortcuts. Selfishness didn’t permit them: they created states and local government areas so their people could benefit from oil funds without working. But, as we’ve now found out, free oil money doesn’t solve problems.

We must return to true fiscal federalism where regions would manage their own resources and contribute taxes to the central government.

I won’t waste more time rehashing all the needed reforms. Many of us have harped on them for the past decade or two: a new constitution providing for a part-time unicameral legislature at state and federal levels, dissolution of the 36 states and return to a true federal structure (a six-region structure), seizing of all assets whose sources their owners cannot explain, making politics and political offices unattractive.

Nigeria will not move an inch forward until it listens to the voice of reason. Injustice runs deep in the land, and there cannot be peace if there is no justice. The judiciary is a mess.

Had the leaders of Nigeria listened to agitators for a “sovereign national conference” in the last 25 years, perhaps Nigeria would have started working by now. Perhaps, the thousands of lives lost to political crises, poverty and now terrorism would have been saved. Perhaps the economy wouldn’t be looking as hopeless as it does now.

Nigeria’s purported ‘Islamisation’ agenda

Carl Umegboro

Nigeria has two dominant religions; Christianity and Islam. In their respective doctrines, peace and unity are copiously emphasised. Ditto in the nation’s motto. Under the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Section 38 (1) provides “Every person shall be entitled to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, including freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom (either alone or in community with others, and in public or in private) to manifest and propagate his religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance”. By this provision, choice of religion is sacrosanct, and sealed as a fundamental right to all citizens. By implications, it is lawful for any citizen to freely adopt a religion or change it without any compulsion, and therefore unlawful to forcefully convert or impose any religion on anyone.

It is on this premise that political parties notwithstanding its non-provision in the Electoral Act often balance and nominate presidential candidates and running-mates considerately from the two major religions except in 1993 Social Democratic Party (SDP) presented a two-Muslims ticket; Bashorun MKO Abiola and Amb Babagana Kingibe as presidential candidate and runningmate respectively without squabbles.

Possibly, Nigerians were elated with their gregariousness or objectively made servicedelivery their priorities, and consequently, prudently aligned with Peter F. Drucker, an Austrian-born American renowned author; celebrated as the father of Modern Management Theory. Drucker affirmed that “Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is

defined by results, not attributes”.

Unfortunately, the peoples’ high hopes metamorphosed into a nightmare. The June 12-presidential election massively participated with fervour was bizarrely annulled by military junta of General Ibrahim Babangida in concert with Chief Arthur Nzeribe’s Association for Better Nigeria (ABN). Abiola later mysteriously died in 1998 under incarceration by General Sani Abacha’s junta. Recently, President Muhammadu Buhari compensatively, conferred a posthumous honour of the Grand Commander of the Federal Republic (GCFR); Nigeria’s highest rank exclusively reserved for presidents, on late Bashorun Abiola. The nexus is that despite the duo’s same religion, majority of Nigerians including Christians overwhelmingly adopted the ticket and fearlessly voted for the duet. To the electorates, it was splendidly a contest between value and torpor, and nothing more.

It therefore implies that religion has not critically shown up in the litany of problems facing the country but lack of visionary and committed leadership. Interestingly, President Buhari nominated Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN), a pastor in one of the leading churches with presences virtually in all local government areas in Nigeria and beyond, as his running mate in 2015 and yet again for 2019 re-election bid. Prof Osinbajo until his assumption of office as Vice President of Nigeria pastored a parish in The Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) at Lagos. Then, during President Buhari’s medical vacation in London, the RCCG General Overseer, Pastor Enoch Adeboye was the only religious leader that had access

to the president abroad which showed there is no religious cacophony amongst the elites or at the centre except the few extremists causing commotions in the society.

For instance, the national leader of All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, though a devout Muslim, yet his wife, Senator Oluremi Tinubu is an ordained assistant pastor in RCCG in Lagos. Similarly, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola (SAN) is a Muslim, while his wife and children are Christians, yet everyone retains dignity despite differing religious beliefs.

Furthermore, the present Director-General of the Budget Office of the Federation, Ben Akabueze is a pastor in RCCG parish in Lagos. These records clearly attest to one indisputable fact; that people bringing ‘Islamisation’ or ‘Christianisation’ into politics; instilling fears and doubts in the polity are simply detractors and enemies of peace. It is immaterial where the missiles come from; be it from churches or mosques. The golden truth is; nobody can forcefully impose any religion on the nation, and nobody has manifestly mulled over it or even contemplating to do it but mere handiworks of mischief makers.

Hence, the fears are uncalled for and should be despised, as the finger pointing is groundless, tenuous or politicallymotivated.

To buttress it further, it is on record that the same leader purportedly masterminding the sinister plots to foist his religion over the nation had earlier nominated and paired with Pastor Tunde Bakare as his running mate under the platform of Congress for Progressives

Change (CPC) which didn’t materialize.

Pastor Bakare is incontrovertibly a voice in the Christendom. It is equally evident that the Chaplaincy at the State House operates freely as usual without any form of interference or intimidation. Candidly, audiences should be wary of information they are fed with, be it in the name of prophesies or ‘visions’ as humans are unpredictable by nature. Despite all odds, the country has gone a long way and shouldn’t be taken aback with gauche religious crisis. Leadership must essentially be measured by policies and issues, and not by deceits or hostilities.

To sum, it doesn’t only amount to acts capable of causing breaches of the public peace but tantamount to hate speech, to subtly, inanely mislead a population with grievous allegations by mere assumptions.

Thus, anybody promoting such vices should be made to face the full wrath of the law irrespective of titles. Issues that affect religion should be left for the religious bodies without mixing them with election of national leaders. The masses crucial interest in government is well-being. No doubt, politics globally accommodates gimmicks but objectivity alongside decorum is principal. For example, US President Donald Trump’s body language during his then election campaign displayed gimmickry; whitewash promises to Nigerians to the extent that on the date of his inauguration, a hard-nosed protests in solidarity which sadly led to loss of scores of lives absurdly took place all the way in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Hence, politesse is fundamental in politicking particularly prioritising the interest of the nation.

Editorial Commentary Need to cherish our treasures in years ahead

Times Guest Columnist Tope Fasua

I saw an article by Mr. Emeka Obasi in the Vanguard recently, titled “Forget it, Nigeria Can’t Work”.

I wanted to share the article because of the first part which was some sort of brief anthropological study on the different components of Nigeria, but I refrained due to its conclusion.

Mr. Obasi reminded us of how many languages in Nigeria are similar, denoting the fact that the different tribes, which are now labouring so hard to show the world ‘how different we are’ have been interacting, intermixing, inter-trading and inter-marrying and, of course, warring for ages. It’s just quite interesting that in this information epoch that we have communications gadgets aplenty, we aren’t hearing each other like our ancestors often did. Mr. Obasi’s title and conclusions were surprising, given his many examples of our similarity. I also disagreed with the usual manner of dumping every blame on the doorsteps of the British.

In my view, we were a conquered territory, but there was nothing the British did to us that we hadn’t done to ourselves (well almost), or that they (the white people) hadn’t done to themselves. Ireland suffered even more in the hands of the English. Imagine being colonised since the 16th century, and only getting partial independence (attainment of Republic of Ireland/Southern Ireland) in 1922. For as long as we still talk of why the British merged us without our consent, we are still mentally conquered. We have to move on.

Emeka Obasi observed start realities in our languages that shows clearly that every culture takes a little from its eastern, western, northern and southern neighbours and that no culture is absolutely distinct in Nigeria. He observed that Abeokuta is called Ebeokute in Igbo, that the Oba of Lagos does not dispute his Bini heritage and that ‘Eko’ is a Bini word (also ‘Idumota’, ‘Idumagbo’, ‘Iduganran’ – my addition), and that any new Obi of Iselle-Uku has to travel to Benin as part of the installation rites (I believe there are many royal fathers around Benin who do that too). I have other additions. The idea of ‘money’ is almost universal to southern Nigeria. ‘Owo’ in modern and mainstream Yoruba up to Oyo, means money, but watch what happens next. As you move up north in Yoruba land, in Ondo and Ekiti States, it becomes ‘Eho’, or just ‘Eo’. Then it becomes ‘Igho’ in Edo and most of Delta State, only to transform to ‘Ego’ in Igboland.

Mr’ Obasi mentioned the similarity between monkey (Enwe) in Igbo, which is called Eme in Bini language. I actually read from Nnamdi Azikiwe’s autobiography that his Onitsha people migrated from Benin after a disagreement, hence the presence of Onicha Ugbo, Onicha Olona, Onicha Ukwu and other similar sounding settlements and towns along that axis. I also discovered upon interactions with Igala friends that several of their words are the same with Yoruba. Even up to Nupe. At least six out of 10 numbers are pronounced the same between Yoruba and the Igala/Nupe language. I could go on and on.

There is something I picked up from playing Scrabble back in the day when we used to check the meaning of words from Chambers Dictionary. After each word, there would be an etymology describing, shortly, the origin of that word.

What was remarkable for me then was the fact that almost every English word originates from outside England. Most of the words have Latin, Greek, French, German or other origins in a way that shows how interlinked the histories of the European people are. The unwritten lesson is the mutual respect that the European people have for each other till date. At the end, they know they are brothers, despite fighting two extremely costly world wars, and hundreds of civil wars and conflicts, some of which still simmer today.

The Europeans know that unity is the way forward for their people. This they have achieved today. I believe within Nigeria, and even bleeding into our neighbouring countries, we have exactly the same type of sociology. Indeed, I learnt from Mr. Obasi’s article that the Angles (a Germanic tribe) conquered southern Britain in the 5th Century (hence the name England), and that the Gauls (now called French) gave the name Germanus (neighbours) to Germany. This is how the world has evolved. We should stick to honest analysis. It is when we insert tribal superiorities, and begin our Hausa/ Yoruba/Fulani/Igbo brickbats that every logical analysis breaks down.

We do have treasures though. Look at the language that those young Fulani boys speak to the cows? I have watched as they command cows. I then realised that they have a deep, inexplicable relationship with the cows that go beyond commercial interests. Each cow has a name and understands instructions from the herder. Again this priceless culture is being hoarded like we black people hoard everything. The example of the white man is that it is better to be open with information, and to document properly. We can only increase knowledge, understanding and our humanity that way. But what our ancestors did was to document little or nothing and that is what we are doing

today. That is even why it was easy to colonise us, steal everything we had and usurp our ability for independent thought. In matters of science – medicine especially – our ancestors passed down the codes to select people and many times, we lost trail of a lot of our treasures. Now we have to purchase the same medicines after some refining and at much higher costs, from abroad.

Another great treasure of ours is the Yoruba culture of cognomens (orikis). As our older ones are dying, only those who stayed back in the villages now understand the idea behind orikis. Yet these orikis tell eloquent histories of tribes, clans and families. As I have suggested elsewhere, there is a lot of work for our university students to do, in documenting relevant aspects of our cultures and also adding value to society. Imagine if a massive project is initiated to collate our people’s histories all over Nigeria, and we can develop a Nigerian Google that incorporates all information that anyone could seek about Nigeria – historical and contemporary. Imagine if we could find the orikis of any Yoruba family and create genealogical trees for everyone in Nigeria. Imagine how that feeds into a larger national identity programme, and the pride of a people.

It took a white man to speak on TEDX about a phenomenal programme that is indigenous to Nigeria – the Igbo apprenticeship system – for us to take it serious. I have been speaking about this to my usually self-critical friends from East of the Niger without much success over time. This is an indigenous system which has positioned the Igbos in good stead all over the world. With little education, many Igbo men have become persons of substance. I believe this is also behind the educational excellence of Igbos in Nigeria today, because good education is now being financed for the new generation. This apprenticeship system, which emanated from a sense of self-responsibility and solidarity created by the civil war, is the reason why Igbo businesses are all over the world – because there is a limit to how much they could expand within Nigeria. There is however a slowdown of late, because there have been some breaches of the unwritten contracts. Some ‘masters’ renege and refuse to ‘settle’ their apprentices. Some apprentices also betray the trust of their masters. This is natural for such a system. However, I am not sure many local researches have been carried out to at least document this phenomenon; for example to estimate how much wealth this system has created or the estimated future value of the wealth that has been unleashed. That is the approach white people will take, given the same opportunity.

There are many interesting phenomena in Nigeria that makes us an interesting people – even beyond their tourism value. There is a village/small town in this country where the language of all the males differ from that of all the females. There are matrilineal cultures where women rule and dominate all over Nigeria (feminists may study that). There are places where they never kill but worship some animals, like snakes, monkeys, and this has shaped the behavioural pattern of those animals among friendly humans. There are animals that are peculiar to parts of Nigeria. There are peculiar histories and peculiar behaviours – again I will not admit Dalung’s naked dance as a thing of repute. Nakedness is everybody’s first costume. Tribes and clans that still go naked may not fit into today’s modern society. There has to be something more they bring to the table.

In all of Nigeria’s uniqueness and beauty, we have continued to wreak injustice on one another. Nigeria is a land of cheating; a class society. Those who lead Nigeria in the main are feudalists who believe in racial, tribal, religious and personal superiority. The mismanagement of Nigeria’s resources, the wanton wastage, the cavalier nepotism, inefficiencies and mediocrity that is collapsing Nigeria today, stems from this ill-luck we have had with leadership.

Every country naturally chooses its leaders from among its people. Leaders therefore come with biases and belief systems which may unfortunately hold a people down, or much worse, destroy them. Nigeria’s leadership selection and trajectory has almost achieved its annihilation.

Yet there is cause to cheer. The opportunities are thinning out rapidly but we can still see some chinks of hope, and we know that achieving a turnaround will be swift if we should get lucky and torpedo this present crop of leaders. How that will happen, no one is sure but some of us are striving daily to barrage the system in the hope that something will give. On the day this happens, we will see how easy it is to unite the people of this country, to get those who are enjoying undue largesse to back down some, to unleash the wealth of this country, to get our youth to be extremely productive, to build Nigeria, a country laying waste presently, and receding to an inglorious dark age.

Until that happens, happy new 2019.

OUR POSITION Parties, youths and need for violence-free polls The 2019 election many have predicted will be a watershed in the political annals of the Nigerian nation and indeed book makers are already being proved right, especially with recent developments across political parties with regards to campaigns and all the accompanying violence at campaign grounds of the various political parties.

Many bodies, both local and international have predicted that the election was going to be marred with violence of high proportion, though many people doubted it because similar predictions were made for the 2015 elections, but it went largely well without much negative result, even when an opposition political party for the first time in the nation’s history won election at the national level, making power to transit from the then ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC).

However, development especially within the APC from the time of the party primary has not had much to cheer about as most of its primaries were marred by varied kind of violence, and to some extent the violence and squabbles that greeted the party primary is still very much alive in many branches of the party.

Even more worrisome is recent developments at various campaign rallies of political parties, again with particular reference to the APC, as many of its rallies have been marred by violence of various degree even with loss of lives in some instances.

For example, during the flag-off of the APC campaign in Lagos State with a mega rally at the Skypower Ground, G.R.A, Ikeja, on Tuesday, January 8, 2019, three persons were feared killed and scores injured including journalists, as hoodlums suspected to be members of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW), invaded the campaign flag-off.

When the dust cleared, a popular officer of the NURTW in the state, Musiliu Akinsanya, popularly called, “MC Oluomo,” was attacked and stabbed by a member of a rival group.

The hoodlums invaded the venue with guns, daggers and other dangerous weapons, engaging one another in a bloody factional fight.

The campaign, however, ended abruptly as violence broke out mid-way into the well-attended programme.

Also in Lagos State a few days later, during its door-to door campaign rally in old Alimosho Local Government Area of the state, a female supporter of the APC, was allegedly hacked to death in a violence that ensued.

The rally was organised by party leaders in the area, Egbeidimu Local Council Development Area, led by Alhaji Abdullai Enilolobo, to canvass support and votes for President Muhamnadu Buhari’s re-election bid and for all other APC candidates in the area.

At the rally last week Thursday, some yet-to-be identified cult group members were alleged to have attacked another rival group over sharing of money, and in the process, the victim simply, identified as Rashidat, from Isheri-Olofin area was stabbed repeatedly, before she later gave up the ghost.

In another city, a rally organised on Saturday by the APC at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri, the Imo State capital suffered a crisis.

Reports had it that supporters of the party’s governorship candidate in the state, Sen. Hope Uzodinma, and those of his Action Alliance (AA) counterpart, Mr. Uche Nwosu, engaged in a fight at the APC women and youths rally.

Supporters of Nwosu were chanting victory songs and raising his posters in the air when the clash began.

Security operatives, however, intervened, shooting sporadically in the air while warding off the VIP stand where wife of the Vice President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, who represented wife of President Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, was seated alongside other dignitaries.

The Owerri crisis some political watchers have said is not unconnected to the heat generated by the confrontations between the leadership of the APC and the Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha, recently when President Buhari took his campaign to the South East state, over who between the AA and the APC candidate should enjoy the endorsement of the President, with the President at the end telling the people to vote their conscience.

Also in Oyo State, no fewer than two people died in a bloody clash between suspected political hoodlums at an APC campaign rally in Igboora area of the state.

According to reports, the incident occurred immediately after the rally held at the old motor park in Igboora on Saturday

evening.

The campaign train led by Governor Abiola Ajimobi, had commenced with a road show from Lanlate through Igboora, Idere, Ayete, Tapa and Igangan before the rallies at Igboora, Eruwa and Omi-Adio.

The rally was said to be initially peaceful with the governor and the party’s governorship candidate, Chief Adebayo Adelabu, acknowledging cheers from supporters who had thronged the streets in solidarity with the party.

Trouble, however, started immediately after the rally in Igboora as suspected political hoodlums engaged in a bloody clash which left one dead.

The reports added that another innocent resident, identified to be a younger brother to an APC leader in the community, was hit by a stray bullet and eventually gave up the ghost.

Eyewitnesses said some suspected hoodlums had accosted the APC governorship candidate to demand for money but were blocked by another group of hoodlums.

This, witnesses said, resulted in heated arguments which later led to the free for all.

If truth be told, many of those who engage in political violence are those who really have no serious stake in the contest, as politicians are in the habit of paying peanuts to political thugs to engage themselves in violence and if possible kill one another, while their children most of whom are abroad are shielded from the violence and being prepared to step into their shoes.

We believe that there is no political ambition of anyone that is worth the blood of anybody and no one seeking political office is worth dying for.

Everyone, especially the youths who are mostly the target to be used for violence needs to understand that they have a future ahead of them and with time and a little effort, they will step into their glorious future.

But if you allow yourself to be used by political office seeker, you may never see that future that you desire. Note that the children of the politicians are not better than you.

So, think first of yourself and know that your future and that of the nation is in your hands, don’t waste it.

Atiku Support Group brings Abuja to a standstill, urges Nigeria to vote PDP, Atiku/Obi Friends Of Atiku in Abuja on Tuesday brought the capital City to a standstill as when the members of the group took to the street to drum support of the People’s Democratic Party presidential candidate, former vice President Atiku Abubakar.

The group said they are celebrating Atiku’s victory in advance.

Speaking to journalist during the rally, the co-ordinator for friend of Atiku in Abuja, Alhaji Suleiman Dakowa said they are tired of President Muhammadu Buhari and we don’t want him again.

According to him, it is only Atiku that can rule this country well and make it work again. So he called on Nigerians to vote Atuku/Obi on Saturday.

“In three years, a bag for rice rose from N8, 000 to N20,000 and if Buhari is given another 4 years it means that a bag of rice would go as high as N40,000.

My advice to Nigerians for Saturday’s election is for them to vote for Atiku Abubakar and peter Obi. They are the only two that can make this country work again. The essence of this rally is for everybody in Abuja to where I belong to vote for Atiku because Buhari has nothing to offer. Let me tell you, the money he borrowed in three years is more than what PDP borrowed in the whole of 16 years it was in power. Atiku

has an answer to these economic woes bedeviling the country today.

Buhari has mortgaged the wellbeing of all Nigerians and we don’t want him again.

On what Atiku will do differently, he said, “We have tested him, He was vice president to Obasanjo for eight years and things were working well and everybody fared well, We can’t afford to have Buhari for another four years. We voted him when we needed change but today we want to change the change and this is my advice to all Nigerians. We thought Buhari would do what Mandela did for South Africa but today, the man said he wants to stay put and we are saying no and we are celebrating Atiku’s victory in advance.

In his own remarks, the national campaign Director of Wakeup Nigeria Hon Judge Egudagwalen said the rally is an awakening call, it to tell Nigerians, mostly youths who are being confused by the All Progressives Congress (APC); those who don’t know Buhari when he was head of state in 1985. Thay are thinking that this man is an angel but we know better. When he was military head of state, we know what happened to Nigerians and how Nigerians suffered at that time.

We do know very well that Fela then sang a song against Buhari, and you all do know the song which is

“basket mouth don begin the leak again oh”, you understand and you will know more about Buhari when you start to listen to the music.

He therefore advised Nigerians to vote and elect Atiku to take full charge of economy management.

The fight against corruption has to be modified but not the way Buhari is going about it – to be an equal fight against any corruption whether you are in APC or PDP across board. We also want to continue the fight against corruption but that is not enough, Nigerians are hungry and you need to put food on the table of Nigerians. Nigerians graduate from University and end up driving Keke, this has to stop when we vote Atiku. He therefore urged Nigerians to vote wisely on Saturday and vote.

On how to achieve free and fair election, Hon Judge thanked God that Atiku is not a weak presidential candidate, he has succeeded in getting the international community to put pressure on the government.

You heard the thing the Governor Of Kaduna state said, “That they will go back home on body bags, for that reason we are touching them where it pains and that is why they have called him a terrorists. We need to stand up because we cannot leave our country in the hand of unserious persons, he said.

Zamfara APC: Group calls for justice Yakubu Salisu, Kano

The actions taken by the three judges of the Appeal Court in Sokoto on Monday which withdrew from the case challenging the judgement of the lower court which upheld the primaries of All Progressives Congress (APC) in Zamfara state over bribery allegation to the tune of $3 million and the refusal of the court grant the appellant the right to withdraw the case have been condemned.

A statement in Abuja yesterday by a group, Concerned Citizens of Zamfara State, said the judges’ withdrawal from the case and the immediate constitution of a new set of judges to sit on the appeal as well as their refusal to grant the request of the appellant to withdraw the case were quite hasty, inappropriate, unfair and tended to lend credence to the $3 million bribery allegation.

The statement, which was signed by Chairman of the group, Alhaji Jibir Wakili, said events unfolding since the botched primaries of APC in Zamfara state last year, particular the improper conduct of Governor Abdulaziz Yari and certain judicial pronouncements, could jeopardise the party’s chances in the coming elections if they were not urgently resolved.

Sterling Bank, Leah Foundation partner on cancer awareness Temitope Adebayo Sterling Bank Plc, has partnered the Leah Foundation to create awareness on breast and cervical cancers through a movie titled ‘Diamonds in the Sky.’ Speaking on the movie which premiered recently at the Viva Cinemas in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital, Ademola Adeyemi, Regional Business Executive, South West, Sterling Bank Plc, disclosed that Diamonds in the Sky is a breast and cervical cancer advocacy movie designed to create awareness about cancer.

Adeyemi noted that, according to available records, cancer is the second leading cause of death globally with a record of 9.6 million deaths in 2018.

He said, “The key to winning the fight against the dreaded disease is early detection and we are determined to ensure that everyone has access to good health care through our HEART initiative.”

He said that Sterling Bank is impressed by the level of investment sunk into the Leah Cancer Centre - The Leah Breast & Cervical Project powered by the Leah Foundation.

Adeyemi enjoined other charitable organisations to emulate the foundation, adding that Leah Foundation is the first non-profit and charitable health organisation delivering breast and cervical cancer screening services to urban and rural communities in Kwara State.

He urged charitable organisations in the country to emulate Leah Foundation by adopting its model in a bid to improve the quality of life as well as the life expectancy of millions of Nigerians.

Commending Sterling Bank for sponsoring Diamonds in the Sky, Mrs Omolewa Ahmed, First Lady of Kwara State and Founder, Leah Foundation said, “We appreciate Sterling Bank for investing in continued breast and cervical cancer awareness and education. Without proper awareness, a lot of women cannot identify possible warning signs of cancer making it impossible for them to take prompt action that can lead to early diagnosis. Our goal is to heighten breast and cervical cancer awareness through this educative movie to increase early diagnosis and screening rates because it increases the chances for successful treatment.”

The foundation has established a wellequipped screening centre in Ilorin. It has also set up basic (VIA) screening centres in all the local government areas of Kwara State.

Adebayo Salami, Joke Silva and a host of other top Nollywood stars came together in the blockbuster titled “Diamonds in the sky.” The movie is a family drama set to storm the cinemas soon and will thrill movie lovers with a didactic, yet exciting theme.

Nigeria’s 2.3% GDP growth indicates appreciable improvement in economic development -Presidency Motolani Oseni The Presidency has observed that the latest Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 2.38 per cent for the Fourth Quarter (Q4), 2018 showed an appreciable improvement in the growth performance of the economy.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported on Tuesday that Nigeria’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) grew by 2.38 per cent in real terms in the last quarter of 2018.

Reacting to the new NBS figures, the Special Adviser to the President on Economic Matters, Dr

Adeyemi Dipeolu, in a statement issued by Laolu Akande, Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity Office of the Vice President, stated that it is an indication of the effectiveness of the economic policies of the present administration.

Dipeolu pointed out that the GDP figure of 2.3 per cent for the last quarter in 2018 reflected continuous growth.

According to the statement, notably, the growth recorded in the fourth quarter of 2018 (Q4 2018) was higher than both the growth of 1.81 per cent in Q3 2018 and in the corresponding fourth quarter of 2017. Indeed, quarter-on-quarter growth from Q3 2018 to Q4 2018 was 5.31 per cent, which signals a

great potential for a higher annual growth rate.

“In annual terms, the growth rate more than doubled in 2018, rising to 1.93 per cent as compared to 0.82 per cent in 2017, again reflecting the strong momentum of growth.

“Also notable is the fact that growth in Q4 2018, and indeed for the whole year, owed a great deal to the performance of the non-oil sector. The non-oil sector grew at 2.7 per cent in Q4 2018 as compared to 1.14 per cent in the oil sector. The non-oil sector also grew by 2 per cent in the whole year 2018 which was considerably better than its growth in the whole of 2017, which was 0.47 per cent. The share of the non-oil sector in GDP was 92.94 per

cent per cent while the oil sector contributed 7.06 per cent.

NDIC Board pledges to enhance financial system Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Members of the newly inaugurated Board of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) have reiterated their commitment to the formulation of sound policies to enhance the safety and stability of the nation’s financial system.

This, the board said was a way of justifying the confidence reposed in them through their

appointment.

The Chairman, Mrs Ronke Shokefun stated this at the opening ceremony of the maiden retreat for members of the Board in Abuja.

As a critical member of the Nigeria financial safety net, Mrs Shokefun said the new Board is committed to providing the NDIC with the desired leadership required to enable the nation to achieve its goal of becoming one of the top twenty economies in the world by the Year 2020.

She said, “As people of proven integrity, we

are to collectively paddle the boat of NDIC in particular and that of the nation’s banking sector in general to safety. We owe this very important organisation and the nation that duty in order to justify the confidence reposed in us by President Muhammadu Buhari.”

The Chairman described the role of the Board as critical in the achievement of the Corporation’s mandate, adding that the retreat will enable members to gain full insight into the Corporation’s mandate, its operations,

achievements, and challenges. She concluded that the induction program will provide the Board with the in-depth Knowledge required for the formulation of policies to ensure enhanced service delivery by the Corporation.

Earlier, the NDIC Managing Director, Umaru Ibrahim expressed the hope that the retreat will provide the new Board with the critical information and insight on the activities of the Corporation ahead of their assumption of office.

NCAA investigates trending picture of worn out aircraft tyres Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo The Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has said that it is investigating the picture of worn out aircraft tyres trending on social media.

This is just as the Authority has said it is highly unlikely that any operator in the country will result in using such an aircraft with tyres like that all the various checks and counter checks available.

The regulatory body in a statement signed

by General manager Public Relations, Sam Adurogboye, said in line with International

Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) Standard and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs) no airline operator can embark on commercial air transportation for hire and reward without airworthy operating aircraft.

According to the Nigeria Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs) Part 5.4.1.1(b)”the Authority shall issue a Certificate of Airworthiness for aircraft registered in Nigeria based on satisfactory evidence that the aircraft complies with the design aspects of the appropriate airworthiness requirements (type certificate) and is in a condition for safe operation.”

The statement read, “NCAA’s Aviation

Safety Inspectors (ASI) are well-trained and well motivated to carry out routine ramp inspection on all airlines operating in Nigeria.

“It is the primary responsibility of the Authority Inspectors to ensure that all the parts of the aircraft comply with the applicable airworthiness requirements and remains in a condition for safe operation before every flight and throughout its operating life.

“In addition to the Authority oversight roles, NCAA has placed the onerous responsibility of the first line of safety on the operating airlines’ Pilot In Command of each flight and the assigned Engineer that authorized each flight.

With all the various checks and counter

checks put in place by NCAA combined with that of the operators, it is therefore improbable that any airline in Nigeria will operate a service with that kind of tyre.

However, NCAA wishes to advise the original author of the post or any other individuals with a safety-related issue, if any to furnish the Authority with the identity of the airline or any of such information to enable us to establish the authenticity of the claim and ensure appropriate action.

The Authority finally said it will continue to carry out surveillance on the industry to ensure safety and security of airline operations in Nigeria and it is pertinent to point out that violation is viewed seriously.

Dangote canvasses 1% of PAT to fund health sector Motolani Oseni The President of Aliko Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, has canvassed for one per cent of Profit After Tax (PAT) to fund the health sector in Nigeria and other Africa countries.

This is even as the heads of government across Africa have expressed support for a new health platform tagged African Business Coalition for Health (ABC Health), a joint initiative of the Aliko Dangote Foundation; GBCHealth, and United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), which was launched on Tuesday in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

In his opening remarks, the Chairman of Aliko Dangote Foundation, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, who was represented by the Foundation’s Executive Director, Halima Aliko-Dangote, said Africa Business Health Forum would identify issues and solutions to Africa’s health challenges with a view to mobilising the will to confront it headlong.

He said it is a well-known fact that there is a vital relationship between health and economic growth and development in Africa as healthy populations live longer, are more productive, and save more. Access

to essential health services is an important aspect of development.

Dangote stated that “Governments from both developed and developing countries are increasingly looking at public-private partnerships (PPPs) as a way to expand access to higher-quality health services by leveraging capital, managerial capacity, and know-how from the private sector.”

According to him, “Africa’s healthcare systems demand significant investments to meet the needs of their growing populations, changing patterns of diseases and the internationally-agreed development goals.

He said as a businessman, and through Aliko Dangote foundation, he is committed to working with governments and key stakeholders for the development of impactful health initiatives in Africa in the belief that private sector leaders have a strong role to play.

Back in his home country, Dangote informed his audience that, in keeping with his passion to see healthier African people and a better continent, he has proposed and charged business leaders to commit at least one per cent of their profit after tax to support the health sector.

In his own remark, the Co-Chair of the GBCHealth, Aigboje Aig-Imoukhuede, said

while Africa has made significant progress in the funding of healthcare, “we are still very far from where we need to be to achieve SDG Goal 3.”

He lamented that healthcare in Africa is constrained by scarce public funding and limited donor support, and that the out of pocket expenditure accounts for 36% of Africa’s total healthcare spending, pointing out that given the income levels in Africa, it is no surprise that healthcare spend in Africa is grossly inadequate to meet Africa’s needs leading to a financing gap of N66bn per annum.

Mr. Imhokuede said it was clear that African governments alone cannot solve this challenge, which is further exacerbated by the continent’s growing population and Africa’s changing disease portfolio. Therefore there is no alternative but to turn to the private sector to complement government funding.

Said he “Our continent accounts for less than 2 per cent of global health even though our very fertile people account for 16% of the global population and carry 26% of the global disease burden. By 2050 Africans will account for more than 50 per cent of global population growth much of that coming from my country Nigeria, a great opportunity and at the same time a ticking

time bomb should we fail our health systems quickly.

The Executive Secretary of the United Nation Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), Vera Songwe expressed regret that Africa with over 50 countries is struggling to combat her healthcare challenges but that organisations such as being launched offer a veritable perspective from the private sector to the solutions to Africa’s health care problems.

She said about $17.3billion worth of drugs are imported into the African Continent and that if Africa can manufacture those drugs, then that would be 17.3 billion worth of jobs created.

However, to attract the participation of the African private sector, there is a need to create an enabling environment. “To the private sector, our leaders are expecting you to invest in healthcare because you will get higher returns than you can get anywhere else.”

The ABC Health platform is an ambitious platform designed to bring together business leaders in Africa to collaborate with heads of government and other stakeholders to tackle basic health challenges in Africa, with assurances from the government to collaborate for healthier Africans.

Renmoney boosts MSMEs with new micro business loans Joy Obakeye Renmoney, has announced the launch of a new solution for micro businesses, entrepreneurs who are selfemployed individuals, businessmen and businesswomen. The new product allows the market segment to access credit of up to N4million either via Renmoney’s website (www.Renmoney.com), contact centres, agent network or branches.

Since inception, Renmoney focused on the employed market and has learnt a lot from this segment and used this to refine its scorecards and algorithms to ensure the company continues to make responsible

lending decisions.

Oluwatobi Boshoro, Renmoney’s CEO, said, “we’ve always been aware of the need to solve credit challenges for another equally important segment – the self-employed, the businessman, the businesswoman.”

She added: “We have tested and iterated this product extensively for almost six months, reviewed over 30,000 applications and issued over 6,000 loans in the process.

We’re convinced this product will go a long way in making financial inclusion meaningful for these micro business owners and impactfully contribute to Nigeria’s goal of a post-oil, diversified economy.

As a business, we understand that we only exist to solve the challenges our

customers face. We have experienced firsthand in 2018, the benefit of a relentless focus on our customers. We recorded a 112 per cent YoY increase in the value of loan served to customers, with a 38.5 per cent representation of female customers.

“Since inception, we’ve had a strong focus on the white collar employed market. We have learnt a lot from this segment and used this to refine our scorecards and algorithms to ensure that we continue to make responsible lending decisions. At the same time, we’ve always been aware of the need to solve credit challenges for another equally important segment – the self-employed, the businessman, the businesswoman, the Micro Small or Medium Enterprise owner.

For these micro business owners, it was important that we understood their needs and leveraged technology to provide credit to them in a convenient and responsible manner.

“Today, after a lot of research, testing and sheer hard work by all the team at Renmoney, I am delighted to announce the launch of Renmoney Micro-Business Loans.

Micro-business owners will now be able to access loans up to ₦4million from Renmoney in a convenient and quick way. We’re convinced this product will go a long way in making financial inclusion meaningful for these micro business owners and impactfully contribute to Nigeria’s goal of a post-oil, diversified economy”, she added.

NBC expresses commitment to increase production Godwin Anyebe Nigerian Bottling Company Limited (NBC), a member of CocaCola Hellenic Group and bottler for non-alcoholic beverage Coca-Cola, has expressed commitment and readiness to achieve its projected business plan for 2019, as it recently disclosed that the company would be making huge investments to boost its production capacity across various operations this year.

The Managing Director of NBC Ltd, Mr. George Polymenakos, recently disclosed this during an interview with journalists. He noted that though the Nigerian economy was experiencing slow growth, the company is optimistic that it would record good business performance this year, having laid a solid foundation with the enhancement of its portfolio, the bolstering of necessary infrastructure as well as the renewed commitment of its employees to deliver on projection.

Polymenakos stated that the company was optimistic that it will reap the returns on its huge investments of over 500 million Euros, directed at beefing up operations over the last 4 years. He explained that the company was now equipped with the right infrastructure to meet the needs of its consumers while also creating value for the shareholders. ”Over the last 4 years, we have steadily increased the number and capacity of our production lines. The Nigerian Bottling Company’s business transformation and optimization plan which commenced in 2015, led to NBC bringing into Nigeria, investment of over five hundred million Euros (500M Euro) for the expansion and extensive upgrade of our manufacturing plants in Asejire, Ikeja, Abuja, Owerri, Challawa, Maiduguri, Port Harcourt and Benin, with the resultant increase in our total production capacity. In line with our ongoing accelerated business plan, we will continue to invest heavily in capital expenditure leading up to 2020, to ensure that we are well positioned to deliver operational excellence across the value chain” he said.

Polymenakos said the company was optimistic that NBC would continue to witness growth regardless of the slow growth witnessed in the economy, adding that the Nigerian economy offers big prospects for improvement and development and that NBC with over 67 years of operations in Nigeria, has garnered a wealth of experience in meeting consumer needs and growing a successful business in the country He said, “We would never stop investing in Nigeria. Even though the last 3 years were difficult for the country’s economy, NBC did not hold back from implementing its investment plans for the Nigeria business. Between 2016 and 2018, we have invested in excess of 100million Euros and these numbers are well documented.”

Speaking on the company’s approach towards sustainability, Polymenakos remarked, “We firmly believe that our business can only be as strong as the communities in which we operate and our people.

We look to create shared value for all our stakeholders and this drives us to create meaningful ways to improve our environment and the communities we operate in, and to deploy innovation to advance general health and wellness.”

South West PDP says it is confident Atiku will overcome all obstacle to win on Saturday Stories by Patrick Okohue The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has expressed optimism that Saturday’s presidential election will be the chance Nigerians have to sing their farewell song to President Muhammadu Buhari as he goes to rest in his Daura home town and usher in a new president in the person of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar in the the Nigeria seat of power.

Speaking of their optimism in Lagos during a one-day intensive colloquium with the theme ‘Atiku: A defining paradigm’, the PDP National Vice Chairman, South West, Dr. Eddy Olafeso said his optimism and that of members of his party and majority of

Nigerians is based on the inability of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), to fulfill the myriads of promises it made to Nigerians while seeking their votes in 2015.

According to him, “My optimism is running very high and is based on the fact that all Nigerians have decided to take the country away from these people for the three and half years of mismanagement on all fronts, they campaigned on three tripod that they will ensure security, economy and they will fight corruption, today insecurity in Nigeria has gone bunkers and we are yet to find Leah Sharibu after all these long while.

“Remember they said in 100 days they will defeat Boko Haram, but today Boko Haram, Headsmen and the usual onslaught on the Nigeria citizens have

Obasa, other APC chieftains rally support of Agege residents for party at coming elections As the nation prepares for the general elections starting on Saturday February 16, 2019, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Agege Federal Constituency have embarked on a campaign tour of all the wards in Agege Federal Constituency covering Agege Local Government and Orile Agege Local Council Development Area (LCDA).

The tour which kicked off on Friday, February8, will end on Thursday, February14, and is meant to sensitise the people on not only voting during the coming election but also voting right.

During the tour so far, the Speaker and other APC leaders have been educating the people on the need to use their middle finger to thumb-print rather than using the thumb.

“The reason for this is simple: there are many political parties now on the ballot paper and the space provided for thumb-printing is very small. If you use your thumb to print, it may spill over to the next space thereby invalidating your vote. So use your middle finger to vote,” the Speaker told the Ebira community during one of the visits.

Rt. Hon. Obasa and his team has also not forgotten to remind the people on the need to vote for all the candidates of the APC, reminding them that it is the only party that can serve their interest.

“For us in Agege Federal Constituency in particular, we

must ensure that we vote for APC candidates. Since the community produced the Speaker in 2015, I can with all sense of modesty claim that the community has witnessed tremendous development in terms of socio-economic development.

“So this is not about the individual called Mudashiru Obasa but about the development and growth of this community called Agege,” he told the youth associations of Wards D and E of Orile Agege LCDA when he met with them Sunday.

As at Monday, the Lagos Speaker and his team have met with leaders of South South community in Agege, the Nupe community, the Ebira community, various youth and community development associations in the area, the tailor association, the artisans, the tyre dealers association, the hairdressers association and okada riders association.

Apart from Rt. Hon. Obasa, leaders on the entourage include: member, representing the Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Taofeek Abiodun Adaranijo; member, representing Agege Constituency 2 in the state House of Assembly, Hon Oluyinka Ogundimu; APC candidate for House of Representatives, Dr Samuel Adejare; former Commissioner for Transport in the state, Comrade Kayode Opeifa; the two council Chairmen: Hon Ganiyu Kola Egunjobi, Agege LG; and Hon Johnson Sunday Babatunde, Orile Agege LCDA among others.

Atiku

gone to four zones, the anti corruption war is dead, they killed it, every corrupt Nigerian in PDP has already moved to APC and their chairman, Adams said there is a sanctuary for them, that as soon as they join the party, they are free and they are faultless.

“We have seen that they have failed the Nigerian people, they did not keep their promises, so the nation has moved away from them. I am sure you watched what happened in Kano, there is excitement in Nigeria and they are ready to sing the farewell song for them so that Baba can go and rest in Daura,” he said.

Also speaking on the sideline of the event, a former Commissioner in Lagos State and former Acting National Secretary of the PDP, whi is also a member of its Board of Trustees (BOT), Dr. Aderemi Akitoye, assured that with what the party has done he was confident that they will take victory on Saturday.

“The PDP has done enough in the sense that there is no magic in

electioneering, it is your work, your tactics, your logistics and these are not things you can discuss openly anywhere all over the world. There is a limit to what the party can speak about, but as far as we are concerned we have done what we need to do as a party to win the election if it is free and fair.”

Urging the people to be vigilant, Akitoye said “All we have to do on Saturday is go out and vote according to our experience, if this era is better than the past that is an experience, but like Stalin, I think said, ‘the voters don’t count, it is the counters that matter.’

“So, we should all mobilise to ensure that our votes matter, that our votes are counted and that our electoral will power, which is the PVC is not missing on that day and when you vote wait and make sure your votes are counted.”

He said that for now they have confidence in the electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to do what is right, until they prove otherwise, “We

have to have confidence in INEC until they prove otherwise, it is an institution created by our own government and we are the government, but if they do wrong people like you in the media should be able to say no this is not acceptable, but I believe that Saturday will be peaceful and all votes will count,” he said.

Also speaking, a member of the executive committee of the PDP in the South West, Yeye Agnes Adenike Shobajo, also expressed optimism that the PDP will carry the day, saying, “I am definite that our party will win this election, because we have put a lot into it, His Excellency, Atiku Abubakar has done so much, he has gone round the country campaigning, he has put his best into it despite the difficulties put on his way with the aim of disrupting his campaign, yet he has gallantly gone round the country.

“We have the person of the Senate President with us, we have several governors who have found out that they made a mistake by going somewhere else, they are back, several senators and leaders, all women are working hard at all level and everyone is working hard to ensure that the desire comes through. We have more strength than weaknesses; we have more opportunities than threats.”

Talking about defections she said, “we are not worried because those who have defected back are those who are actually the political strength in Nigeria, if you look at the people that we have behind Atiku, they are not just professionals, they are not just business people, they are politicians of note and strong, we are talking about people who will actually bring the crowd and we have them.”

A former Special Assistant to President Jonathan on Public Relations, Dr. Olusanya Awosan, a former Commissioner in Lagos State, Dr. Lanre Towry-Coker, seasoned journalist, Prince Uthman ShodipeDosunmu were among those that presented papers at the event.

Olulade condemns disruption of APC rally in Ogun, seeks sanction against Amosun The member representing Epe Constituency II in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Segun Olulade has condemned the drama that played out on Monday in Ogun State during the All Progressives Congress (APC) rally, in which some members of an opposition party stormed the venue to disrupt the rally.

Olulade, who blamed the ugly development on the Ogun State governor, Ibikunle Amosun, alleged that two major breaches occurred at the rally, which Governor Amosun was utterly responsible for.

According to the lawmaker, “apart from the breach concerning

our party’s unity since the occasion was exclusively our party’s internal gathering, it was also a serious security breach against the safety of Mr. President; National Party Chairman; other dignitaries present and entire party members.”

The lawmaker said such scenario was condemnable and therefore, called on APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomole, to apply strict disciplinary measure against Amosun for such anti-party action.

Olulade observed that what happened at the venue of the rally was nothing but sheer demonstration of indiscipline against the office of the President “and it was so sad to

see non-party attendees throw items at Mr. President in a public rally.

“The action was also a threat to the party’s anticipated victory in Ogun State. Invariably, Governor Amosun orchestrated the disruption of party’s mega rally in his state by sponsoring hoodlums and nonparty members to attack a peaceful party campaign.

“Whatever differences within the party could be resolved amicably, but insistence of Governor Amosun to work for his personal candidate outside the party is an anti-party behavior, which is punishable under the APC party constitution,” Olulade stated.

Naomi Osaka sacks coach Sascha Bajin

World tennis number one Naomi Osaka has split from her coach Sascha Bajin just 17 days after completing back-to-back Grand Slam victories at the Australian Open.

“Hey everyone, I will no longer be working together with Sascha. I thank him for his work and wish him all the best in the future,” the 21-year-old Japanese tweeted in a shock announcement.

Bajin, a former hitting partner to Serena Williams, responded: “Thank you Naomi. I wish you nothing but the best as well. What a ride that was. Thank you for letting me be part of this.”

Osaka, who became the first Asian to hold the top ranking after beating Czech Petra Kvitova in the Melbourne final on January 26, had worked with the German for just over a year.

No reason was given for the surprise decision to part ways, but Japanese media cited Osaka’s management company IMG in reporting that there had been a breakdown in the player’s relationship with the coach since the start of the year.

According to Japan’s Nikkan Sports, some practice sessions with Bajin at the Australian Open lasted just 10 minutes and she sometimes hit without him being present.

Osaka, who is scheduled to compete in Dubai next week, began sounding out potential replacements late last year, local media reported.

The Japanese player captured her first Grand Slam crown by stunning Williams at last year’s US Open in a final remembered as much for the American’s astonishing rant at the chair umpire following a coaching violation.

Based in the United States, Osaka linked up with Bajin in late 2017 and enjoyed a breakthrough year, shooting from 72 in the world to the top of the women’s rankings.

During that period she won the prestigious Indian Wells tournament before scooping her first major in New York, while Bajin was named WTA coach of the year.

Osaka’s Twitter feed lit up in response to her announcement, with several memes expressing widespread disbelief — including a shrugging Barack Obama, a

confused Joey from American sitcom “Friends” and a Minions character screaming “WHAAAAT?” Osaka, who grew up in the US and speaks little Japanese, melted hearts when she fought back tears after her emotional US Open win over her idol Williams as booing echoed around the stadium.

She won more fans with a nail-biting 7-6, 5-7, 6-4 win over Kvitova in the Australian Open final, after which Osaka sobbed tears of joy as the jeers were replaced by cheers.

Former greats Billie Jean King, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert have all heaped praise on the new darling of women’s tennis.

“Winning back-to-back Grand Slam tournaments is a rare and special achievement, and I’m thrilled these results have propelled Naomi to the top of the women’s game,” said Evert, the first ever WTA world number one.

“Her exciting brand of tennis, coupled with the dignity she displays on and off court, is a winning combination that tennis fans really embrace.”

MIkel Obi: I am 80 percent fit After playing few games and getting up to full speed and loving the challenge in the league, Super Eagles captain and Middlesbrough midfielder, John Obi Mikel, can’t wait for the midweek clash with Sheffield United as he gets to grips with a ‘crazy’ division he believes is tougher than the top flight.

The former Chelsea midfielder has been eased in to the first team as he gets to grips with the hectic schedule.

He arrived at Boro in January after a three month lay-off following his exit from Chinese side Tianjin and been used sparingly.

He played an hour in the first FA Cup clash with Newport then 75 minutes in the 3-2 win at West Brom.

Mikel, 31, played the full 102 minutes of the enthralling and entertaining 1-1 draw with Leeds and admitted he was ‘blowing’ afterwards.

“Yes, it was very tiring,” he said. “We will see if I am OK for Wednesday. I need an ice pack or two and let’s see what happens.”

Asked if he was fully match fit yet he laughed and said: “Not yet. I am maybe 70 or 80%. But I am getting there.

“Maybe it will be another three weeks before I am really match sharp. I have to keep working and I will get to 100%.”

Boro came from behind to win 3-2 at fourth placed West Brom last week then got within seconds of beating second placed Leeds before being pegged back in Saturday’s 1-1 draw.

But there is no let up: Boro go to third placed Sheffield United on Wednesday in the final leg of a high-stakes fixture flurry.

“It’s a tough division, much tougher than the Premier League when you look at it properly,” said Mikel. “There is no let up.

“There are so many big games. We knew we had three massive games in a row, two are out of the way, and we have one more quickly. It’s a good sign of where the team are when you look at the last two and we have got four points from those games.

“It is a good mentality to have by looking at it that way. We wanted three points against Leeds and we came so close but we didn’t achieve that – but we have to keep going and keep believing that we can beat anyone in this league.

“Come the end of the season we have to believe we can achieve what we want.”

The Blades will be another big test and Mikel was impressed with what he saw in their 3-3 draw at Aston Villa on Friday.

They stormed into a three goal lead but it finished all square after a pulsating late Villa fight-back.

“They are a very good side. I watched it,” said the Nigerian international. “They are very good on the attack. We have to go there and face a tough game and believe we can win the game. With the players in this team we know we can.”

Tony Pulis said after the game that the classy midfielder was ‘the best player on the pitch by a mile’ but the anchor ace rejected any personal praise.

“Since I have been to this club I have always said I

will not be an individual player,” he said. “I always just want to play for the team.

“I always like to give 110 per cent for the team. I will always put the team and club first. If the team have a good performance I will have a good performance and be happy, that’s how I look at it. They are good players. All the team are good players. All the team.

We play together as a team, the good thing about this club is we don’t really have any ‘Big Time Charlie’ players. We all work together as a team.

“If we lose we lose together as a team; if we win we win together as a team. Against Leeds we put in a good shift as a team, we were aggressive on the ball, on the front foot and we pressed up high.

“We did that well for most of the game, then in the last few minutes they put a lot of men forward and we were left hanging on. We knew we had a point to prove after Newport. We wanted to win the game.

Unfortunately we didn’t but we knew we had to put in a good performance today for the fans, for the club, for everybody and I think we did that.”

Had Boro held on to beat Leeds they would have been four points off second spot with a game in hand.

If they beat Sheffield United they will move within a point of the Blades and be right back in the automatic mix.

It remains very tight and Mikel is looking forward to the challenge in the weeks to come.

“I am really enjoying it here,” he said. “It is a fantastic dressing room, a fantastic club and it is a big challenge for me.

“We all want to get promoted. Every game from

Former Cameroon and Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o has reacted to Chelsea’s 6-0 defeat to Manchester City on Sunday.

On his visit to South Africa, the former Chelsea marksman admitted that Pep Guardiola’s side plays a high pressing game, but added that he was amazed by how Maurizio Sarri’s men conceded a whopping six goals in one game.

“You can lose matches sometimes, but at this level, you have to be very careful,” Eto’o told the South African media.

“Conceding six goals! It is true that City are playing at an unbelievably high level at the moment, and we were not expecting anything less from a coach like Pep Guardiola, but those goals came through due to individual errors and a lack of concentration. At some point, we all know how that can cost you,” said Eto’o.

When asked if Chelsea can bounce back from the humiliating defeat, Eto’o said: “Sure, Chelsea can recover from the defeat. Football is an eternal recommencement. In football, if you can’t get up when you fall then you are not fit for it.”

Chelsea conceded 10 goals in their last two away matches in the Premier League which has raised eyebrows on whether or not Sarri is still the right man for the managerial job.

The Blues lost 4-0 to Bournemouth last week before returning to winning ways in style with a 5-0 win over Huddersfield.

They face Malmo in the Uefa Europa League on Thursday before welcoming Manchester United in the fifth round of the FA Cup next week Monday.

Awolowo’s ‘hate speech’, 38 years ago

Thirty Eight Years ago on 13th February, 1961, Daily Times reported that the Leader of Action Group, Chief Obafemi Awolowo appealed to members of the another major political party the National Council for Nigerian Citizens (NCNC) for corporation especially among the younger elements in the two parties, “In order to ensure true greatness and prosperity for the country (Nigeria).

According to the report Chief Awo (as he was popularly known in political circles), made the appeal two days earlier, on Saturday, 11th February, 1961 while addressing a large crowd in Aba, South East, on what he termed the ‘Destiny of Independent Nigeria.’

The report quoted Chief Awolowo as saying that the greatest tragedy in the present era was that a nationalist party like the NCNC should be in alliance with the Northern Peoples’ Congress (NPC) which according to him “consisted of people who were brought up in the feudalistic system and therefore extremely conservative and unprogressive.”

“He then criticised the coalition federal government of NPC and NCNC and accused it of planlessness, adding that the government had subordinated Nigeria to British imperialist interest even though Nigeria was now independent,” Daily Times reported.

For lumping together millions of people that either share same political ideology or are united by their common belief in a political party; and branding them as “people who were brought up in the feudalistic system and therefore extremely conservative and unprogressive,” Chief Awolowo would have been criticised as having made ‘hate speech’ if he were to a candidate of the forth-coming election.

This is because, today in Nigeria, the fathers and grandfathers of bad mouthing, who travelled that famished road to political relevance are now hiding under the so called anti-hate speech platform to malign as well as intimidate political opponent.

The promoters of the cliché are now capitalising on the global definition of hate speech as “abusive or threatening speech or writing that expresses prejudice against a particular group, especially on the basis of race, religion, or sexual orientation,” to proclaim expressions that disagree with governance style and policies as hate speech, thereby using instruments of power to coarse political rivals.

The question therefore is, can the game of politics be effectively played without the application of words or phrases that may have sweeping description of a people united by ideologies, faith, ethnic interests? Is it possible for politicians to refrain from making hate speeches while seeking the votes of electorates? What punishment can the society possibly hand out on leaders who make sweeping statements against others like saying that all members of a political party are ‘thieves,’ both those that have occupied political positions of authority and those that have never come close to the corridors of power?

Only recently, the United States of America appealed to politicians in

Nigeria, their supporters and all citizens to shun violence and avoid making hate speeches.

The appeal was contained in a statement from US embassy in Abuja, even as it called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security operatives to conduct themselves in the most professional way and remain neutral before, during and after the elections, noting that whoever wins the election must be the true reflection of the people’s choice.

“As friends of Nigeria and its people, we will follow the campaigns and election process closely. Who wins the elections is for the Nigerian people to decide.

Our concern is to see a process leading to free, fair, transparent and peaceful elections.

“We hope to see transparent campaigns and we urge all voters to use their democratic right and vote. We are particularly keen to see greater participation of women, youth and people living with disabilities.

“We urge all involved – political and non-political actors – to refrain from using hate speech and take a firm stance against violence. The 2015 Peace Accords played an important role in that regard and we welcome new efforts towards that end,” the US said.

But history is replete with stories of even the finest American politicians, including presidents making hate speech against their opponents. That was why during a discussion on the topic on CNN, Professor Tucker Carlson had posited that hate speech is not just a speech

but should have the potential to cause harm through incitement. She therefore suggested that, somehow, politicians should be exempted because of the nature of their enterprise which may not thrive without the freedom to fully express themselves unless where their outbursts really have the potential to provoke violence.

It must be on that premise therefore that the Governor of Kaduna state Mallam Nasir El-Rufai got the bashing of his life last week when he was quoted in a video that went viral, to have said that those planning to interfere in the forth-coming election will go home in body bags.

That was not just a speech but a speech that has the potency to incite as well as cause actual harm on people.

Otherwise, all is fair in war, politics being one.
