Gov Ortom dumps APC Continued from page 1 plans on Monday in Makurdi shortly after swearing in a new Special Adviser on Bureau for Local Government and Chieftaincy Affairs, Mr Jerome Shimbe who replaced Mr Titus Zam, sacked on July 8.

According to him, the red card from APC would enable him to join any political party that has an ideology worthy of being adopted by his administration.

The governor stated that the strained relationship between him and the party under which he contested the 2015 governorship election in the state has left him without a party.

The governor partially dissolved his cabinet last week, retaining four out

of the 16 commissioners and seven out of 19 Special Advisers.

Alhough, he gave no reason for the sacking of the members of the expanded cabinet members, it was reliably gathered that the sudden cabinet reshuffle might not be unconnected with the friction between him and the APC leader in the state, Sen. George Akume.

Ortom also said that the appointment of Shimbe was based on his impeccable character and proven track record of service.

He advised the new adviser to strive to justify the confidence reposed in him and open his doors to all indigenes seeking for assistance from him regardless of their political affiliation.

Responding, Shimbe

thanked the governor for finding him worthy of the appointment while pledging to ensure that the governor succeeds in all his endeavours.

But Oshiomhole while speaking to newsmen on Monday at the party secretariat in Abuja after rising from the National Working Committee (NWC) meeting said: “I know that Governor Ortom is a very senior member of the party and he has said so repeatedly in print and has said to me one on one that he will not leave the APC unless he was pushed out.

“I have since assumed chairmanship of this party along with my colleagues in the NWC and I know of a fact that we have not shut out any governor and certainly not governor Ortom”, he maintained.

FIRS boss commends Gov Ugwuanyi on effective IGR utilisation Wants other Governors to emulate him

Moses Oyediran, Enugu

The Chairman of the Joint Tax Board (JTB), Mr. Tunde Fowler has commended Enugu State Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for putting in place a proficient and “unparalleled” tax regime, which has ensured that the state exceeded the 15 percent tax revenue to GDP benchmark suggested by the United Nations for the funding of budgets.

The JTB Chairman, who is also the Chairman of Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) also applauded Gov. Ugwuanyi for the unprecedented growth in the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of Enugu State as well as the judicious utilization of the said funds for the rapid development of the state.

Fowler, who spoke during the 141st meeting of the board holding in Enugu, which had in attendance chairmen of the Board of Internal Revenue from the 36 states of the federation, also lauded the governor for his quality leadership, giant development strides in the state and “excellent” hospitality.

He, therefore, called on other governors to emulate Gov. Ugwuanyi’s measures in enhancing the efficiency and productivity of his state’s Board of Internal Service for improved revenue profile in their various states.

The chairman stated that the objective of the meeting, themed: “Leveraging on ICT for Efficient Tax Administration and Revenue Enhancements, Focusing on States IRS”, was to discuss tax matters and how to provide

better services as well as “look at contracts executed with tax payers’ money”.

While further appreciating Gov. Ugwuanyi for his effective utilization of tax payers’ money for the rapid development of the state, Fowler advised the visiting Chairmen of BIR to share the experience with their governors, accordingly.

He said: “As you come to Enugu, you can see how tax monies were used. Following the testimony given by the Chairman of Board of Internal Revenue of Enugu State, Mr. Emeka Odo, as a good friend, all the Chairmen are supposed to have the copies of advance sheets to their Governors for them to see what was going on in Enugu State and how things are supposed to be done”.

He maintained that tax revenue is “no doubt the only means to ensure sustainable economic and social development”, emphasizing their role “as tax administrators to carry out our duties diligently to ensure that all the current tax revenue is collected as at when due”.

According to him, “looking at the figures of Enugu State, I would like to congratulate you (Ugwuanyi) that the Enugu State Internal Revenue Service is living up to its responsibilities in the area of increasing the state’s revenue base. It has exceeded this figure (UN 15% benchmark) already.

“The measures you have taken to enhance the efficiency of your Board in Enugu State are unparalleled. At this point, I call on other governors to do what is being done in Enugu State and if within six months

we cannot see any difference, we will say something is wrong.

“But, I am sure these measures taken by the Enugu State Revenue Service if taken by other state governors, our revenue profile will improve tremendously”.

Declaring open the event, Gov. Ugwuanyi, who welcomed the participants to the state, disclosed that his administration, in realizing the need to reduce its dependence on the then dwindling statutory receipts from the Federation Account, “immediately embarked on the reform of public finances in the state to align with our developmental priorities and realities”.

The governor added that the state government also repositioned the state’s Internal Revenue Service through the appointment of a board of seasoned professionals; establishment of new Revenue Courts; enactment of the Land Use Assessment Appeal Tribunal Law; reorganization of the board to meet the required standards to deliver the desired results, etc.

“We are glad to report that these measures have made a tremendous impact on our revenue streams, enabling our IGR to peak at N22 billion last year in contrast to the N14 billion we collected in the whole of the 2016 fiscal year”, he added.

Gov. Ugwuanyi noted his administration’s prudent management of the state’s financial resources was responsible for the numerous “unprecedented development

Intra-African trade: Afreximbank targets $3.3trn market size Says IATF 2018 to generate $55bn

Ibrahim Mohammed and Mathew Dadiya Worried by huge informal and uncaptured trade deals going on in various parts of Africa, the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has said it is working on a panAfrican payment platform that will see payments made through e-mobile transactions across different continental blocks, which will spike a $3.3 trillion market in the continent.

This platform would also promote a lowly rated 12% intra-African trade, which many experts have described as abysmal.

The pan-African payment platform would also see various African countries trade deals inter-connecting various buyers and sellers in their local currencies with their respective banks in hitch-free mobile transactions with their phones, while spiking the $3.3

trillion size market.

President and Chairman of the Afreximbank Board, Dr. Benedict Oramah, disclosed this on Monday during the panel discussion session on the “Strategy to Deepen NiogeriaAfrica Trade,” in Abuja.

Oramah said: “This forum affords us the opportunity to diversify our economies. But the biggest problem confronting the Intra-African trade is trade information. There is need for more information on opportunities on investments and promotion in the continent”.

He also revealed that the IntraAfrican Trade Fair (IATF) will take place in Cairo Egypt between December 11 and 17, 2018.

Meanwhile, Managing Director of Intra-African Trade Initiative, Kanayo Awani, at a news conference organised by Folio Communications in collaboration with the Nigerian Export Promotion Council on Monday

in Abuja, said that the mobile trading platform would assist in capturing mostly small scale businesses and formalised their trading activities.

Kanayo expressed huge concern that intra-African trade was still on the lowest ebb, stating that there were already efforts to increase intra-African trade among African countries.

Kanayo pointed out that, “Informal trade is very huge and we at Afreximbank are aware of that. However, we are working on a pan-African settlement platforms to improve payment mechanisms for intra-African trade. The mobile transactions will help to formalise the huge informal trade”. ”The Pan-African payment will also address concern of currency in cross-border trade, and mitigate the challenge of buying dollars and other foreign currencies. It would allow in buying and trading in your local

currency. We are looking at launching it in December or latest first quarter of next year to ensure we formalise our trade deals in the continent.

“The trade fair is one of our instruments in promoting the continental free Trade Area. We are trying to connect buyers and sellers together in the trade, ”Kanayo said.

Olusegun Awolowo, the Executive Director of Nigerian Export Promotion Council, also expressed similar concern that Intra-African Trade is still low owing to a number of factors which he listed to include “poor infrastructure, poor, transportation, etc.

He said: “Africa is not really trading enough with Africa. President Macron, you recall, was here recently, and told us that we are surrounded by francophone countries.

“He told us it must be our strategy to learn French, package our goods the French way, and dominate

implemented so far to make life more meaningful for the people. He stressed that with the lean receipts from the Federation accounts, the state government has continued to pay workers’ salaries on or before 25th of every month; paid all civil servants the 13th month salary as Christmas Bonus and the June salaries despite the nonreceipt of the FAAC allocation for the

month.

The governor also used the occasion to appeal to JTB Chairman to intervene on the over N18 billion debt in back duty taxes collectively owed the Enugu State government by federal institutions and agencies, namely; the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH); the University of Nigeria Nsukka (UNN); the Federal Orthopedic Hospital Enugu; the Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital Enugu; the Federal College

of Education, Eha-Amufu; the Project Development Institute (PRODA), Enugu; the National Orientation Agency (NOA) and the National Examination Council (NECO).

Other speakers such as the Executive Secretary of JTB, Sir Oseni Elamah and Chairman of Enugu State Internal Revenue Service, Prince Emeka Odo also hailed Gov. Ugwuanyi’s good governance and commitment to the success story of the revenue board.

Obama dances with his grandmother on Kenya trip Former United States President Barack Obama visited his father’s ancestral village in Kenya’s south-western Siaya county on Monday and danced to some traditional music with his grandmother in his first visit to the country since leaving office.

Obama is in Kenya to launch a youth centre set up by his half sister Auma Obama.

Kenyan television showed the

former U.S. president pulling his grandmother, Sarah Obama, clad in traditional garb, onto the dance floor and getting down to some music.

Obama, America’s first black president and a favourite in Africa, was also shown touring the Sauti Kuu Centre, sporting a casual white shirt and a pair of shades.

Locals hoping to get a glimpse of Obama lined the roads near the centre, with one school girl telling

Kenya’s NTV “I’m happy to see our elder brother come today.”

After Obama arrived in Kenya on Sunday, he met with President Uhuru Kenyatta, who tweeted “It was great to welcome you back @ BarackObama.”

Obama will head to South Africa on Tuesday to give a key speech for Nelson Mandela’s centenary – his first major public address since leaving office.

francophone African countries.”

Speaking further on difficulties in intra-African trade, Awolowo said, “It is easier to move goods from Nigeria to Paris Ports than even Ivory Coast because of infrastructure challenges.”

“We in NEPC would be working more closely with Afreximbank towards having a freight and shipping system that would grow and improve intra African trade linking various continental blocs,” Awolowo added.

The Trade fair initiative being promoted by the Afreximbank is strategic in connecting the whole African countries together, connecting buyers, and connecting various regional blocks in the continent.

On the advantage, Awolowo said the trade fair would assist in promoting Nigeria’s trade brand, as the country was concentrating more on processed commodities, rather than just exporting raw materials.

The Federal Government has noted that the Executive Order Number 6, recently signed by President Muhammadu Buhari, is the present administration’s most potent weapon against corruption.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, stated this while addressing a press conference in Lagos on Sunday He also defended the constitutionality of the Executive Order, saying those opposed to it should go to court.

Executive Order No. 6 of 2018 aims to, among others, restrict dealings in suspicious assets subject to investigation or inquiry bordering on corruption in order to preserve such assets from dissipation, and to deprive alleged criminals of the proceeds of their illicit activities which can otherwise be employed to allure, pervert and/or intimidate the investigative and judicial processes.

Lai Mohammed said, ‘’The truth is that, having realized the potency of the Order in giving muscle to the fight against corruption - which by the way is one of the three cardinal programs of our Administration, the corrupt and their cohorts have become jittery. They have every reason to be. Henceforth, it won’t be business as usual ‘’For those who claim that the Executive Order Number 6 is dictatorial, it is clear they have not even read it.

Section. 3 (i) of the Order states that any Person who alleges that his rights have been violated, are being or are likely to be contravened by any of the provision of this Executive Order may apply to a competent Court in his jurisdiction for redress.’’

He said President Buhari is the not the first democratically-elected Nigerian President to sign Executive Orders, adding: ‘’In 1980, then President Shehu Shagari issued an Executive Order to modify the Public Order Act. This was

unsuccessfully challenged in court by then Governors of Ogun and Borno States. In 1999, then President Obasanjo issued Executive Orders to abolish the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) and to proclaim May 29 as Democracy Day.’’ On the constitutionality of Executive Order Number 6, Mohammed said the President has the power, under Section 5 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended) which extends to the execution and maintenance of the Constitution, all Laws made by the National Assembly (including but not limited to Section 15(5) of the Constitution) - to abolish all corrupt practices and abuse of power.

He said the war against corruption is a must-win for Nigeria in order to free national resources for the nation’s development, and noted that the new measure became necessary to ‘’re-kit and re-tool’’ the Administration’s arsenal to effectively tackle corruption.

The Minister said in the United States, after which Nigeria’s presidential system of government was fashioned, Presidents, starting from George Washington to Donal Trump, have used Executive Orders to shape policies.

He said, ‘’George Washington, who was President of the US from 1789 to 1797, issued 8 Executive Orders.

Franklin Roosevelt (1933-1945) issued 3,522 Executive Orders; Barack Obama (2009-2017) issued 275 in eight years; Bill Clinton (1993-2001) 364 and current President Donald Trump 80 so far.

Recently, the US Supreme Court upheld, 5-4, President Trump’s indefinite ban on travel from several predominantly Muslim countries, That ban was the result of an Executive Order,’’.

Mohammed also hailed President Buhari, the African Union’s Champion on Anti-Corruption, for showing uncommon courage and leadership by unveiling Nigeria’s most potent tool against corruption, and appealed to Nigerians to support the Administration’s efforts to tackle the cankerworm of corruption.

PDP to Buhari, APC: Don’t be deceived Short News

by Ekiti poll rigging Police vote N5m for informant on killer Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has cautioned the Muhammadu Buhari Presidency and the All Progressives Congress (APC) not to mistake the rigging in Ekiti State as acceptance by Nigerians.

The party declared as shameful for President Muhammadu Buhari, who claims to be an anticorruption champion, to glee over acts of electoral corruption that can truncate our democratic process.

The PDP said it found as strange that President Buhari could not condemn the emasculation and subversion of the will of Ekiti people and the stealing of another party’s victory by brute force.

The PDP in a press statement by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, also noted the unsavoury statements by the Presidency, celebrating the subjugation of Ekiti people as a stamp for President Buhari, wherein it further boasted of a triumph for the President in the 2019 general election.

“If for President Buhari and the APC, the subjugation of the people, as witnessed in Ekiti, amounts to an election, then the nation is headed to a serious crisis, as such will be resisted with all legitimate force available within our laws in the defence of our nation’s democracy.

“The APC and INEC must note that what happened in Ekiti, as a single state, cannot be pulled through in a general election, especially where the people have made up their minds to seek a

new president.

“Nigeria is too big and too complex to be subjugated by a single individual or group of individuals, as any attempt to do so will definitely consume the conspirators.

“Moreover, while we are still pursuing the recovery of our stolen mandate in Ekiti, we state in very strong terms that this will be the last time the PDP will, under any circumstance whatsoever, allow itself to be manipulated out at the polls at any level”, the party said.

The party urged all its members and supporters to continue to remain calm over the daylight robbery that happened in Ekiti State, despite the provocations by the APC and the Presidency, as PDP leaders are making concert efforts to ensure that justice is done.

Head of Communications, WFP Nigeria, Ms. Ingermarie Vennize, who said this in an interview with journalists in Abuja, identified the states as Taraba, Borno, and Adamawa.

Vennize, however, said that the programme was working toward meeting its target of providing aid for the most food-insecure and vulnerable persons in the Northeast geopolitical zone of Nigeria.

Embrace intending defectors, Kwara PDP stalwarts tell party leaders Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin Some concerned members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Kwara state have asked leaders of the party to allow all intending defectors into the party in order to fortify the party’s electoral chances in the forthcoming general elections.

In a statement issued yesterday in Ilorin, the state capital, the PDP members, under the aegis of Concerned Members of PDP, Kwara State Chapter, argued that “Nigerians believe that our parry is the popular platform for serious minded politicians and thus we cannot afford to be unduly selective in our membership drive”.

The call came as the National Chairman of the PDP, Prince Uche Secondus said the party is open to all possible defectors from the R-APC, and other opposition members who are not satisfied with the current affairs of the country.

In the name of law and disorder

Owei Lakemfa

The Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State on Wednesday held a pre-election march in Ado- Ekiti, the state capital. This was within the rights guaranteed by the constitution and allowed under the electoral law. But the party apparently did not take into cognizance, a deity called the police .

Failure to appease the police, make propitiation and beg permission to hold such a march, made the police feel its authority was being challenged and undermined. So even with Governor Ayodele Fayose and Deputy Governor, Olusola Eleka in the rally, it was teargassed and gun shots fired.

The Police justified its actions on the basis that the rally, even where it was peaceful and carnival-like, could lead to the breakdown of law and order. In order to be preemptive or preventive, the police did what it had to do; transform the peaceful rally into a riotous one with people scampering and being injured.

The police as is wont to, initially denied that its men fired tear gas, not to talk of live rounds. Assistant Inspector General (AIG) Hoseah Karma was quoted in the media as saying with a straight face: “ There was no violent incident here” Later, the police said its action, which it promised to ‘investigate’ was meant to abort the rally. The rally was already in full swing, so how do you abort a baby that had already being born? I guess it is the Nigeria Police that can perform such feat.

While the police was displaying its prowess against unarmed citizens in Ekiti State, it left its planks in states like Sokoto and Zamfara open to bandits who

were having a field day sending more Nigerians to early graves. I am not saying that the police could have prevented the massacres in those states, because it is not known to take on armed groups. It prefers soft targets like those at peaceful rallies or commuters on the road.

Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Habila Joshak who led the patriotic attack in Ekiti State, said the primary reason was that the PDP did not obtain permission before holding the march. On why riot policemen were unleashed on the rally, he said: “As a law enforcement agency, we must be proactive and take actions that can prevent crisis rather than trying to quell it after it might have broken out.” Very true in deed!

My experience as a student activist, pro-democracy campaigner in the military era and labour leader in the post-military period, showed that most rallies and marches do not become disorderly or violent until police intervention. I do not identify with Fayose, but I could not but be amazed by jubilation on the social media that as a sitting governor with constitutional immunity, he was teargassed and humiliated by the police. They claimed it was retributive justice; that he is experiencing what was done to my friend, Dr. Kayode Fayemi in 2014 when he was governor and the police was under the control of the PDP at the national level. I was tempted to respond that I thought the All Progressives Congress (APC) which now controls the police and Armed forces, came to right the wrongs of the past, not perpetuate illegality, unconstitutionality and brigandage. But I restrained myself for fear of being branded unpatriotic and

a wailer like the opposition.

I am also careful to be on the side of the law, which in Nigeria, means being on the side of the police, an agency that has forced Nigerians to imbibe its golden line: “The police is your friend” Indeed, who would not want to have such a powerful friend who can turn innocence into guilt and guilt into innocence? The Nigeria Police reminds me of the ape who insist on being your son- in-law even if you had not given it your daughter in marriage.

For the Ekiti elections, the police deployed 30,000 led by DIG, Habila Joshak supervised by AIG Hoseah Karma, and assisted by three Commissioners of Police; Ali Janga , J.B. Kokumo and G.B. Umar. These excluded the army, State Security agents, Civil Defence and other security personnel. This goes to show that in Nigeria, election is war, not a civil responsibility; it is a military action, not a civil engagement. With the police and security men crawling everywhere and electoral areas under siege, it will always require a level of bravery to go out on election days, even to vote. In emphasizing that elections are war, DIG Joshak did not say the police would arrest electoral offenders and charge them to court in accordance with the law. Rather, he boasted: “ if you snatch the ballot, we will cut off your hands, if you run with it, we will stop your legs.”

From my little reading of policing, it is not so much the number of policemen that matters, but more about the purpose or objectives. For instance in the Ekiti case, less than one third of the 30,000 policemen, backed by intelligence would have been more effective. But since the Nigeria Police

believes most in what it terms ‘Show of Force’ the more the number of policemen, the better the attainment of of its noble objectives. These include showing the citizenry its available numbers, the physical fitness of its personnel and the array of weaponry at its command including armoured personnel carriers.

In Nigeria, the people are not the masters of the police, it is the police that are masters of the people. Where the constitution guarantees the people the right to peaceful assembly, the police vitiates it by verbally decreeing that any assembly whatsoever, peaceful or violent, must be with its permission.

Where the constitution guarantees the right to freedom of movement, the police decrees such movement must be done with its consent. For the Nigeria Police Force (Yes, it is a force)where two or more are gathered in whatever name, it is not enough for God to be present, such gathering must additionally be authorized by it. While there is a universal saying that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, in Nigeria, the fear of the police is the beginning of wisdom. If you fear God, but not the police, the latter can dispatch you very quickly to heaven or hell depending on your ultimate destination.

Any disrespect for the Nigeria Police whether by acts of omission, commission or confusion, can have dire consequences.

The grave is full of people who dare disrespect the police. The story of the police in the Ekiti elections may be its story in the 2019 general elections. Whether the police swings the country towards order or disorder, it can always count on my patriotic support.

In Ekiti, stomach infrastructure has changed hands

Fisayo Soyombo

For many members and loyalists of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the next few days are the season of whys. In matters of public interest, the post-mortem culture in Nigeria is notoriously weak. Not so for partisan politics, where the interest is more pecuniary than public.

Both in terms of protecting their future selfish interests, and in terms of explaining their predictable resort to litigation, PDP will be asking itself how the same Ayodele Fayose, who returned from relative political obscurity in 2014 to unseat incumbent Kayode Fayemi, could not re-enact his old magic to ensure Olusola Eleka took over from him as the Ekiti State governor. But it’s an academic exercise, fueled more by self-denial than a genuine intention to unravel any political masterstroke ahead of the 2019 elections. In the lead-up to Saturday’s election, both the PDP and the All Progressives Congress (APC) acted/spoke in manners suggesting they already knew how and where the election would be won and lost.

It was not for fun that Adams Oshiomhole, the national chairman of APC who, being a two-time governor, should know a thing or two about winning or losing elections, said only three weeks ago: “…in 2019, those manipulation instruments will not be at their (PDP’s) disposal.”

It wasn’t just for comedy that Fayose, a 57-year-old, already or potentially a grandfather, the selfstyled ‘Peter the Rock’, went on national TV to cry like a baby, claiming

he was “slapped, beaten, shot at” by the Police and alleging that Ekiti was “under siege”. For all the hugely impressive academic talent residual in Ekiti, the election was never going to be about issues. The two leading candidates skipped the main debate, organised by Television Continental in partnership with Enough is Enough (EiE) Nigeria, ahead of the election.

The three candidates in attendance — Abiodun Aluko of Accord Party, Akinloye Aiyebusi of Socialist Democratic Party (SDP) and Segun Adewale of the Advanced Democratic Party (ADP), even journalists, much less the rest of the public, would struggle to place their positions after results were declared at the end of the race. Those who mattered most shunned the debate because they had clear knowledge that this was a non-issues election. Fayose knew all these; he understood this was a battle of pretence against deceit, of APC the deceiver claiming a moral high horse it hadn’t earned, and of PDP playing the victim. As the journalists involved in the firsthand coverage of the election would testify, that was exactly what happened.

The “manipulation instruments” spoken of by Oshiomhole were fully deployed by the ruling party.

In specific locations in the state considered to be PDP strongholds, a generous deployment of soldiers – many of them ditching the army camouflage – took pleasure in intimidating the electorate. So many potential PDP voters were scared

away by the thoughts and sights of menacing soldiers. By the way, there was nothing spectacular about this strategy; Fayose and the PDP employed it to devilishly spot-on advantage in 2014 when federal power was in their grip, but now they have been given a taste of their own medicine.

APC thugs were in action as well.

In some opposition locations, they set ballot boxes ablaze. In others, the boxes were forcefully retrieved. In one example, a video ostensibly recorded undercover by Pulse captures some women screaming at a location in Ilejemeje Local Government after a ballot box was “snatched by the APC”.

Again, there is nothing ingenious about this; ballot-box theft was one of the multi-level shenanigans upon which Fayose rode to power in 2014.

It is interesting to note that the cases of ballot-box snatching and burning, and voter intimidation, were not the biggest deciders of the election. Worryingly, it was stomach infrastructure, the very election malpractice that Fayose is thought to be the master of. As shown in a video by SaharaReporters, PDP did not wait till election day before starting to induce voters; the APC was no different. A simple YouTube search will reveal a number of videos showing the pervasiveness of cash for votes on Friday and Saturday. With a minimum of N3,000 to N5,000, each of the two leading parties attempted to buy its way to victory. As expected, APC, with its federal spending power,

outspent the PDP and therefore bought over the bulk of the electorate.

In all, this election was a voterinducement, rather than popularity, contest.

While the Ekiti election offers very little to any post-mortem exercise, it conversely offers tremendous use for any serious pre-mortem of the depth of politicking and electorate behaviour to expect in 2019. We now know very clearly that in 2019, APC will duplicate the very anti-democratic antics with which PDP held on to power in the three election cycles post-1999. We should know by now, just in case anyone had any doubts, that APC and PDP are birds of a feather. For all the exaggerated praise of Fayemi’s supposedly elitist perspective to politicking and the maligning of Fayose as an unrepentant apostle of stomach infrastructure, the lesson from Saturday is that neither one party nor one of these individuals can claim superiority of political ideas over the other. And just as both men traded places at the two ends of victory, after the 2014 and 2018 elections, stomach infrastructure has only just changed hands. The only difference is that while Fayose counted on stomach infrastructure to regain power in 2014 and was blithe about it, Fayemi and his party structured their campaign in like manner but were two-faced about it. In the end, the people are the biggest losers — because no one can in all conscience expect a government enthroned by stomach infrastructure to then be driven by ideas.

Editorial Commentary Remembering the ‘real’ MKO Abiola (4) Times Guest Colunmist Yemi Ogunbiyi As Bashorun Abiola himself recalled later, “it was the best school in the world…

Education at that school was what we called education-plus.” Against many odds, Moshood Abiola plodded on. Not even a bad stammer as a child deterred him.

What was to become a lifelong love with journalism started with his editorship of the school magazine, The Trumpeter, in his final year. Olusegun Obasanjo was deputy editor.

Although a day student, he took more than a passing interest in sporting activities.

It is also just probable that the seeds of what was to blossom into a lifelong romance with sports were sewn during these years.

It is also important to point out that the social setting in which his adolescent character matured was the Abeokuta of the World War II years and a little after.

The period just before 1945 and after, were interesting years to be growing up in Abeokuta.

The nature of the political, social and cultural ferment that was taking place in Abeokuta at the end of World War II is hardly duplicated anywhere else in Nigerian history. Abeokuta was one huge flurry of activity.

There was, for instance, the political activism of the Women’s Movement led by the irrepressible Mrs Ransome-Kuti, alias Beere; there was the presence of Nigerian and foreign troops in several locations in Abeokuta; there also the activities of several Christian groups with their experimental forms of African worship.

There was, opposed to this latter group, the Egba Ogboni, that symbol of the ancient repository of Egba history, regal in the splendour of their colourful round-rimmed hats, shawls, fans and all, and fearsome in the enormity of their intriguing prescience.

Every school boy growing up in and around Abeokuta at that time had to have known of these developments and activities. Moshood Abiola must have come to manhood believing that such essential ideals as freedom, justice and fair play were quite desirable and attainable.

A rebellious spirit typified those years.

Many years after, Abiola was to recall: “You see, if I hadn’t rebelled, I would have been virtually a nobody by now.

There was no way I could have paid my school fees. What is rebellion? Rebellion is looking for the most unusual way out of a very sticky point.” And find a way, he did. After brief working stints at the then Barclays Bank (now Union Bank), Ibadan, and the Western Regional Finance Corporation, a western Nigerian Government scholarship took him to Glasgow University in Scotland, in 1961, to study Management Accountancy.

The Glasgow years are important for us now, not only because he distinguished himself academically (first prizes in Political Economy, Commercial Law and Management Accountancy) but essentially because it also marked, ironically, the beginning of his serious encounter with Pan-Africanism.

Apart from active participation in endless debates on the best options open to African peoples, Abiola undertook a trip, in the company of other west African students based in Glasgow, to the newly independent state of Ghana, in 1963, to brainstorm with Kwame

Nkrumah, supposedly, on a programme of action for African and the Black race.

Although he came back to Scotland from the Accra trip disillusioned because Dr Nkrumah was far too impatient to give adequate attention to a group of young idealistic African students, Abiola’s mind seemed made up now about Pan-Africanism.

Many of the events that were to take centre stage in his life in subsequent years were the results of several encounters with other African students at Glasgow between 1961 and 1965. Glasgow also looms large in his life because there he got married to his first wife, the late Alhaja Simbiat Abiola, and there they had their first two children, Kola and Deji.

Literally weeks after his final examinations in Glasgow, he returned home in March 1966 to a country torn apart by an imminent civil war.

His first job was with the University of Lagos Teaching Hospital and subsequently he worked for Pfizer. In August of 1968, he joined the International Telephones and Telecommunications (ITT) as its Finance Controller.

That decision was to change the course of his life. Since this phase of Abiola’s life has been over-romanticised in tales that take on an air of folkloric myth, the facts of the matter should be restated for the record. Fortunately, Chief Abiola has been forthcoming with details in this regard.

While admitting to support from a myriad of people, both at home and abroad, in his rise to financial prominence, he identifies the ITT link as the source of his first breakthrough. Basically what happened was that he used his connections with friends in government, among them the late General Murtala Muhammed, to win key business concessions for ITT. But instead of settling for the usual fixed salary, he opted for shares of the business. Let us listen to Abiola tell the story himself: The ITT Story I proceeded immediately to London with the cheque to report on the affairs in the office and I insisted that I could only carry on in the company if I became the Managing Director and at the same time be given no less than 50 per cent of the shareholding of the business.

The Managing Director aspect of the request was granted immediately, but the shareholding part of it, I was told required top policy consideration which would be resolved within six months… The bottom line, in fact, was that I was requesting that at the determination of the profit for any year, half of that profit should be left behind in recognition of my contributions for making the whole profit. No more, no less. Eventually, ITT acceded. Abioal ended up controlling a bulk of the business in Nigeria. Barely nine months after he joined ITT as Controller, he rose to become Managing Director.

That year – 1969 – his salary jumped from £9,400 per annum to £114,380 per annum, a phenomenal rise of over 1,000 per cent! By December 1970, he became Chairman and Chief Executive of ITT (Nigeria) Limited.

The rest, of course, is now history. Not surprisingly, this period coincides with his sponsorship of sporting activities on a large scale and his first wave of support for philanthropic activities. His entry into mainstream Nigerian politics seemed a matter of time.

Our POSITION

Financial autonomy and matters arising

I

n Nigeria, the principle of separation of powers has to an extent been effective at the federal level as the National Assembly has in various circumstances, served as a check on the executive in accordance with its constitutional responsibilities.

But the reverse has been the case in the states where the legislature has always pandered to the whims of the governor. That the State House of Assembly has been the puppet or stooge of the governor was clearly expressed in the rejection of the financial autonomy earlier offered them as contained in constitutional amendments carried out by the sixth National Assembly.

With President Muhammadu Buhari’s assent recently, to the Fourth Alteration Bill to the 1999 Constitution which gave total financial autonomy to Houses of Assembly and the Judiciary in 36 states of the federation, these organs of government now have the platforms to perform optimally.

Specifically, with this amendment, the state Houses of Assembly will no longer depend on the state governments for their financing as they can now draw their funds straight from the first line charge. This implies that like the National Assembly, the Federal Ministry of Finance will henceforth transfer their budgetary allocations to their independent accounts.

We welcome this development and hope that these two arms of government in the states will make the best use of the opportunity. Indeed, it is victory at last for the state legislature, an organ of government which has been oppressed and suppressed for several years by the executive. The operations of the Houses of Assembly in various states of the federation since 1999 are best exemplified in how not to be legislatures as theirs had been a sheer opposite of the application of the principle of separation of powers.

What that implied was that the state legislatures did not exist to serve the public interest in accordance with their constitutional responsibilities but rather to serve as an appendage of governors.

Besides, with very little excuse and sometimes for pecuniary reasons, legislators had no qualms about impeaching their speakers. Yet behind most of the impeachments is the overbearing disposition of the executive in these states where the governors lord themselves over the legislative arm of government which they seek to emasculate. Thus, any speaker who tries to be inquisitive on the activities of the executive is quickly impeached under the supervision of the governor and replaced with a favourite one who will be ready to take orders.

It is therefore little wonder that it is never heard that a legislature has exposed corrupt acts by the executive in any state as provided in the constitution neither

is it ever heard that a state budget has been subjected to any thorough scrutiny.

Rather, executive bills and nominees in all the 36 states usually pass through the legislatures and returned as proposed.

Various studies carried out by the National Institute for Legislative Studies (NILS) on the activities of the state legislatures recently showed that the lawmakers were mere rubber stamps of the governors.

To the extent that the legislature financial autonomy is meant to guarantee their freedom from the overbearing influence of governors, we welcome this cheery development. We hope the Houses of Assembly will summon courage to discharge their constitutional responsibilities in the interests of the people who elected them. It is also the same trend with the judicial arm of government in the states. State governments hardly lose any case they institute or that is instituted against them in the various high courts of their states and it is believed that a major cause of this is lack of financial autonomy.

We are of the opinion that with the President’s assent to this bill, judges like legislators will henceforth have no reason to draw their funds from the state governments and hence, begin to uphold the dictates of their conscience by dispensing justice without fear or favour.

Saraki: Kwara APC replies Nabena Short News Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin The All Progressives Congress (APC), in Kwara state has blasted the Deputy National Publicity Secretary of the party, Yekini Nabena for attacking the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki.

The party in a statement by its state publicity secretary, Sulyman Buhari warned Nabena to stay within the mandate of his new position, and stop his campaign of uninformed comments against Saraki.

The local chapter of APC was reacting to a statement credited to Nabena calling on Saraki to declare his stand on the R-APC. It asked the national deputy publicity secretary to clarify if he was speaking on behalf of his superiors in the APC National Working Committee (NWC) or he was running errand for some faceless mischievous elements who are his paymasters.

The statement partly reads: “The Kwara APC has taken note of the immature display of lack of decorum by one Yekinni Nabena in a statement he issued today calling the Senate President names. Nabena needs to first clarify if he was speaking on behalf of the National Working Committee of the APC or representing some faceless mischievous

elements who are his paymasters.

“Instead of embarrassing himself with his meaningless diatribe that demonstrates his lack of decorum and immaturity for the position he has accidentally found himself to be occupying, Nabena should focus on understanding what his current position entails. This is necessary because his preparedness and capacity have definitely been called into question by his antics. He definitely cannot use Saraki’s name to get cheap popularity and buy relevance.

“At the right time, our leader, the Senate President, who remains one of the founding fathers of the APC and a deciding factor in our national politics today, will make his decision known to the whole world when he is ready.

“As a grassroots politician who believes in carrying everyone along and works in the best interest of the people at the State and national levels, Saraki does not owe an unknown factor like Nabena any response or explanation. Instead, at the right time, I am sure that his friends, supporters, associates, all Nigerians and the entire world will know where he stands on issues regarding 2019 elections.

“Saraki that we know does not hide to play his politics. He plays in the open.

Those who feel uncomfortable with his rising profile will continue to bell-ache for a long time to come. In fact, we enjoy the

way he is making his opponents fret and suffer insomnia by his silence”, the Kwara APC stated.

It also urged Nigerians not to be distracted by individuals who are fond of making statements to seek relevance or for personal gain.

Kwara APC further stated that “Nigerians should be rest assured that the Senate President, who is currently on his way back from the United States talking about how to improve trade relations with Nigeria and increasing the chances of our youth to get self-employed, will not be distracted by the needless noise”.

In fact, we enjoy the way he is making his opponents fret and suffer insomnia by his silence.”

FG commissions Nigerian Agri-business, Agro-Industry Initiative in Kano Yakubu Salisu, Kano In its efforts to accelerate the growth and diversification of the Nigerian economy, the Minister of State, Federal Ministry of Industry, Trade and Investment Hajiya Aisha Abubakar on Monday, commissioned Nigerian Agri-business and Agro Industry Development Initiative (NAADI) in Kano.

Aisha, represented by the ministry’s Permanent Secretary, Edet Sunday Akpan said the programme is intended to harness the enormous potentials inherent in the non-oil sector of the Nigerian economy and other opportunities that are capable of

diversifying the revenue base of the country for the overall growth, development and prosperity of the society.

According to the Minister, the idea of building up the Nigerian Agribusiness and Afro Industry Development Initiative is to fully develop the priority areas of AgroIndustry namely, food and beverages, Textiles and Garment, Leather and Leather products as well as products Inspection Services.

Abubakar further explained that, the development of these key sectors will ultimately give way to sustained poverty reduction, human capital development and prosperity to the majority of Nigerians, as well as achieve the goal of productive and

profitable value chains as well as greater agribusiness participation in domestic and international markets.

In his remarks, Kano state commissioner of commerce, industry and tourism, Ahmad Rabiu said that, Kano stand to benefit immensely from the programme as it would revive its agro-allied industries and also agricultural productions.

“The major issue is approaching the zero oil project which is to see Nigeria move away from dependence on oil thereby giving back life to other revenue generating sectors which have gone comatose.

“This project I can say would go a long way to assist our people,” he said.

An Indigenous security firm, Darlon Security and Guards (DSG), has dismissed a resolution passed by the Bayelsa State House of Assembly accusing it of criminal acts in its operations at the creeks and swampy areas of the state, describing the allegation as “ill-conceived, malicious, unfounded and politically motivated”.

The Assembly on July 11, 2018, passed a resolution after deliberating on a motion sponsored by a member representing Sagbama constituency 2, Col. Bernard Kenebai (rtd) alleging that the company was involved in criminal acts at the creeks.

The resolution which followed a motion under matters of urgent public importance also called on the governor of the state to urgently intervene to stop the alleged killing of innocent citizens in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state.

Cleric rapes 29-years-old woman in Lagos Joy Anyim, Lagos A 23- year old Muslim cleric, Mustapha Hammed was on Monday paraded by the Lagos State Police Command for allegedly defiling a 29 year old student of College of Education Akoka, simply identified as Rukayat.

Investigations revealed that the cleric who defiled Rukayat in the name of spiritual cleansing from untimely death had also wiped the blood from her private part with a white handkerchief which resulted in a mental disorder.

The Lagos State Police Commissioner, Edgal who paraded the suspect before Journalists at the command Headquarters in Ikeja stated that the case of sexual assault by penetration was first reported at the Bariga Police Station before it was transferred to the Gender Section of the command on his instruction.

Edgal said the suspect was arrested on July 12th, 2018. “The suspect in the case is one Mustapha Hammed who claims to be an Alfa. The said Alfa was introduced to the survivor through a mutual friend.

“The Alfa deceived the 29-year-old student saying he saw in a vision that she was going to die within 24 hours.

He took the girl to Ikorodu, Lagos for cleansing so that she would not die.

“At Ikorodu, he forcefully had canal knowledge of the girl said to be a virgin as at then. He thereafter allegedly wiped off her blood with a white handkerchief and since then, her father alleged that the girl has been behaving abnormally because she was completely devastated and traumatized by the incident.”

Justifying his action, Hammed said his act was out of love. He claimed he had loved the survivor for long and didn’t know how to tell her.

He said the alleged vision, spiritual and sexual cleansing was all a strategy to get in between Rukayat’s legs.

He said, “It all happened on April 7th, 2018 when I called Rukayaat, a friend to my lover to come to my mum’s house in Bariga. I told her I had seen a vision for her while I was praying that she had a spiritual husband.

“I told her the solution is to bath three times with a soap I will give to her, and that I would take her to my house in Ikorodu for the bath, which she agreed. We went there and she went to bath the first time and while I was praying for the water to do the second bathing, I quickly put a dead frog in the water. When she got to the bathroom and saw the frog, she was afraid and ran out to inform me.

“This I said was bad omen that the only solution is to immediately do some prayers and then do a sexual cleansing which entails having sexual intercourse with a man. She was scared and said she would do all it takes to be free. So I asked her to call her boyfriend. She said her boyfriend was far away, she pleaded I help her.

“She didn’t know that I had put the frog because I have been looking for a way to tell her I loved her and have a sexual relationship with her. I didn’t wipe her private part with any white handkerchief”, he said.

The cleric expressed surprised that over a month after the incident, the police had come to arrest him for allegedly using Rukayat for ritual.

“She didn’t know that I had put the frog because I have been looking for a way to tell her I loved her and have a sexual relationship with her”.

Short News 70% prisons inmates awaiting trial, says Dambazau Edward Nnachi, Abakaliki The Minister of Interior, Lt. Gen. Abdulrahman Dambazau, Monday said over 70 percent of inmates in Nigerian prisons are awaiting trials.

Dambazau who disclosed this in Abakaliki while inspecting the new prisons being constructed by the Ebonyi state government, said the Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS), was working hard to ensuring that prisons are decongested across the country.

He however, noted that the task of decongesting the prisons did not rest squarely on NPS as the Nigeria Police and the Judiciary have enormous role to play.

On rehabilitation of prisoners, the Interior Minister said the Nigeria was still below United Nations standard but efforts were being made to meet up with the UN requirement.

This year award is an improvement in number compared to the previous years when less than 29 applicants made it. However, the

number of lawyers who applied for the rank are on the increase yearly. This year, out of 106 applicants, 83 of them were found to have qualified but only 31 applicants far below 50 percent of those qualified were finally chosen.

The average number of new wigs into the legal practice in the last three years was put at 2000 lawyers . A good number of Senior Advocates could be of great help with their papillae, more so when other Superior Court of records are likely to adopt Supreme Court’s Practice Direction that restrict a senior advocate to announce his appearance with not more than five juniors. Though, it has been argued by some judges that the directive did not bar lawyers from watching proceedings of the courts, it denied them appearance that would count to their advantage in future.

Criteria for the award of Senior Advocate of includes ten years of active legal practice, minimum number of cases successfully conducted at the Courts of superior records, which was reduced three years ago from five to three cases at the Supreme Court while the cases at the High Court was increased to 20 due to the upsurge in the number of appeal cases filed by prospective applicants at the apex court.

These criteria and the division among lawyers arising from the award of the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria will continue to widening and heighten genuine fear among prospective applicants and junior lawyers that perhaps the rank of Senior Advocate of Nigeria are meant for certain families.

These critics often point to names of children, wife and staff of some foremost successful lawyers who earned the title of a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, to buttress their argument. Most often, some of the critics forgot that some of the children of the famous legal luminaries who made the list yearly earned it on merit.

However, this complain goes to the issue of transparency in the selection process of, for instance the 31 successful applicants out of 85 qualified applicants. The criteria for final selection should be made open in order to pass the test of transparency or in future all who qualified should be awarded the rank.

After all, Helen Pitcher OBE, Chairman of QC Selection Panel in England in 2016 when she was confronted with similar selection problems made it clear that: “the sole test is excellence in all the competences which go up to make excellence as an advocate, not personal background.”

Osinbajo attributes progress in economy to effective public-private partnership Motolani Oseni The Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has attributed the progress recorded in the Nigeria’s economy to the effective public-private partnership implored by the current administration, led by President Muhammodu Buhari.

Osinbajo made this disclosure at the 8th edition of the Presidential Business Forum, hosted quarterly by the Buhari administration, which also witnessed notable endorsement of the country’s economic policies and direction from private sector chieftains, offering commendation and praise for ongoing Federal Government reforms.

The Vice President, in a statement issued by his explained that the current government has dedicated groups looking at a variety of issues important to the nation’s export strategies.

According to him, “Our trade policy motives are to use the appropriate

tools and instruments to strengthen the export potential within the economy and exporters who add value to goods; and apply incentives that promote and support investments and exporters who add value to goods.”

On Nigeria’s negotiations regarding the African Continental Free Trade Agreement the Vice President noted that here are clearly huge gains for the country, adding that the rest of Africa also naturally see the enormous advantage of Nigeria’s participation.

He however urged stakeholders “to be careful not to give the impression that there are minimum preconditions for continuous engagement with the process of signing the AfCTA.” “Our focus is to create a strong economy that is friendly to investment and that is conducive for growth and resilient to shocks.

“To grow additional investments, we are also developing a systematic and datadriven approach towards engaging with international trade partners which will ensure that we are focused in our approach

to entering bilateral trade engagements and we realise maximum returns from this,” Prof Osinbajo explained.

On the government’s efforts to improve infrastructure in the country, the Vice President said “the difference in substance in this administration, is the President’s commitment to getting infrastructure done.”

He added: “Not only are we investing more than ever before on infrastructure, we are also ensuring that we complete projects like the Kaduna-Abuja railway, Abuja light rail, started in 2007, stalled in 2010, meant to have been completed in time for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, it was abandoned, we just completed it in 2018.

Although our opponents criticise us and say we are shameless, for even completing the project! The Mambilla Hydro Project is 40 years old in planning, but we have now budgeted for it and raising the capital for it from the Chinese.”

Meanwhile, Chief Nike Akande, the honorary life Vice-President of the Nigerian Association of Chambers of Commerce,

Industry, Mines and Agriculture and Engr. Ibrahim Usman, the Vice President of the Manufacturers Association of Nigeria (MAN) in the Northwest zone, both expressed their commendations during the interactive session of the forum, presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo, SAN. The chieftains said the economic initiatives of the Federal Government have recorded steady improvements, particularly in power, infrastructure and ease of doing business reforms.

Speaking on the general business environment in the country, Mrs Nike Akande said “first I have to recognize the efforts of the government. The ease of doing business is working and I can attest to that myself.”

She also expressed optimism that

Afreximbank, Aenergy partner to leverage climate finance for Africa Mathew Dadiya, Abuja The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) has entered into a cooperation with Aenergy to develop a low carbon sustainable economy and a climate finance strategy to support projects and national initiatives in the sector across Africa.

The cooperation agreement, signed on the sidelines of the Afreximbank Annual Meetings and 25th Anniversary celebrations on Saturday, will support trade and promote low carbon technologies by attracting financing and specialized resources for energy generation, mainly for the renewable, and transportation sectors; develop investment funds, such as the African Innovation Climate Fund; and enable Afreximbank to be the first multilateral bank in Africa to issue green bonds in

partnership with top tier stock exchange platforms.

Speaking during the signing ceremony, Amr Kamel, Executive Vice President, Business Development and Corporate Banking, at Afreximbank, said that the facility was a huge opportunity for climate finance for African countries. “It will create value from environmental assets and promote emissions of green bonds to support African governments and African companies in their pursuit of infrastructure investments and will sustain their social and economic development”.

Divaldo Rezende, Global Head of Climate and Social Finance at Aenergy, said that “with Aenergy’s over 15 years’ experience in the climate change sector, the agreement was an opportunity pipeline that may enable it to issue at least $850 million in green bonds in the next five years, given its experience in the space and Afreximbank’s capacity

to leverage African participation in innovative financial mechanisms.”

In 2017, multilateral development banks made commitments totaling $35.5 billion for climate finance, with Africa receiving only $2.3 billion, or less than one per cent. In the context of fighting climate change and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, green bonds are considered strategic to the development of a low carbon economy in Africa.

Participating from Afreximbank in the discussions leading up to the agreement were: Ibrahim Sagna, Director, Advisory and Capital Markets (ACMA); Samallie Kiyingi, Director, Legal Services; Dr. Christiane Abu Lehaf of the Research and International Cooperation Department; Joy Albright of the Legal Services Department; and Peter Zulu of ACMA. Aenergy was represented by Jorge Neto Morgado, Co Chief Executive Officer; Pedro Bento Bento, Chief Operating Officer and Mr. Rezende.

“things will continue to improve as a lot had already improved in the country especially in the area of power.”

In the area of port operation, Mrs Akande said there was need to improve access to Tin can and Apapa ports to complement government’s ease of doing business initiative.

On his part, Engr. Ibrahim commended the Federal Government’s initiative to address the power generation and supply challenges in the country, which according to him, “has helped the growth of commerce and trade in Nigeria”.

He said: “We know this government is doing very well on infrastructure especially in power, roads and railway sectors.”

The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has commenced comprehensive community integration and stakeholders’ engagement to sensitize dwellers of Iwure, Ojor and Osomba/Akin communities of Cross River State ahead of planned oil palm-based biodiesel project in that part of the state.

The Corporation’s Group General Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, Ndu Ughamadu, said the 26, 000 hectares facility was designed to accommodate an oil palm plantation co-located with bio-diesel, crude palm oil co-generation plants and other facilities.

Already, officials of the corporation’s Renewable Energy Division (RED) have embarked on the sensitization campaign across affected communities, providing information on the rationale and projected benefits of the biofuels projects in the state.

The NNPC Research and Development Division (R&D) is also

being engaged for the conduct of Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the projects.

The release said that the plant was projected to generated about 14 megawatts of electricity from empty fruit bunches and the residue from oil palms.

Under the arrangement, the oil palm would be processed into fuel grade Biodiesel and industrial crude palm oil as by-products. The Biodiesel will be blended with diesel in a mix of 20 per cent biodiesel and 80 P0pĺper cent diesel and sold as B20 in the domestic market. Any utilized biodiesel quantity would be exported to the international market.

The NNPC Cross River biofuel project is in tandem with renewed drive by the corporation to develop biofuels in Nigeria through partnership with core investors to create a low carbon economy and link oil and gas sector to the agricultural sector.

This is also to mitigate the adverse effect of climate change and the transformation of NNPC into an integrated energy company with diverse portfolio.

2019: We will liberate Nigerians from Ekiti election prove current APC hardships, says Turaki that APC, PDP are two

sides of same bad coin – Sowore

Stories: Patrick Okohue Former Minister of Special Duties and frontline Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), presidential aspirant, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, has urged Nigerians not to despair in the face of current hardships in the hands of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Federal Government, as they are assured of succour when PDP wins in 2019.

Turaki’s counsel to Nigerians came just as the Rivers State governor, Nyesom Wike acknowledged the aspirant’s deep understanding and articulation of Nigeria’s problems and solutions which he prescribed for tackling them.

In a release by the Director Media and Publicity, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki Presidential Campaign Organisation, Mr. Sola Atere, the duo spoke at the weekend in Port Harcourt when Turaki went to consult with the governor ahead of the forthcoming PDP presidential primary.

The aspirant promised to re-enact robust economic policies with a good economic team that made it possible for Nigeria to become Number three investors’ haven after China and Qatar before the APC squandered the legacy which it inherited thereby, leaving the economy in shambles. “Investors are no longer coming into the country while those operating there are leaving for better investment environments,” he said.

He said further that “for the first time, we are witnessing a government that has neither a Chief Economic Adviser nor an economic team. This is part of their cluelessness,” he added.

Turaki allege that the APC is leaving a legacy of hunger, poverty, killings, divisiveness, unemployment, nepotism and despotism to the extent that it is even using state resources to attack the people, sometimes brutally.

He recalled the recent experience in Ekiti

Kabiru Tanimu Turaki

Nyesom Wike

State where he said the security apparatus was used to suppress the governor who is even supposed to be the chief security officer of the state, as well as law-abiding citizens.

The ugly incident, he noted, has again brought the issue of state police to the front burner.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria restated his belief in the principle of restructuring, not just for the sake of it, he said, but from the perspectives of devolution of power, resource control, true federalism and fiscal federalism as well as in terms of statism and regionalism.

Turaki who noted that the task ahead is monumental said the PDP needed a presidential candidate that is imbued with the type of gallantry and fearlessness exhibited

by Governor Wike when confronted with intimidation by the APC government.

“We need a candidate with integrity and credibility which Buhari claims to have, and beyond that, we also need what he does not have - a bridge-builder, young, dynamic and well-educated person who can comprehend critical issues of governance

easily and also be able to interface with other leaders in this age of technologydriven world. I am that candidate capable of defeating the APC’s standard bearer in 2019,” he stressed.

Governor Wike who noted that Nigerians are tired of the failure of the APC-led Federal Government wondered whether a government that is unleashing mayhem on the people will concede defeat willingly if it loses the elections as the PDP did in 2015.

He said: “If INEC could conduct free and fair elections in 2019, then there is no way the PDP would not win.”

The governor who described Turaki as a serious contestant advised all the aspirants to engage in decent campaigns.

Turaki was also at the party’ state secretariat in Port Harcourt for consultations.

The vice chairman, Rivers South East, Chief Monday Ngbor who stood in for the chairman, said that the party recognised Turaki’s loyalty and contributions, adding that they know that he would be a good leader if given the opportunity to serve.

2019: Atiku begins nationwide tour, set mega declaration for July 21 in Adamawa Former vicepresident and leading presidential aspirant, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, will be commencing a consultation and familiarisation tour across the country beginning from July 16, 2018 ahead of the presidential primaries of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The former number two citizen will begin with a scheduled visit to Gombe State on Monday then proceed to Borno State on Tuesday, Taraba State on Wednesday and

Adamawa on Thursday.

According to a schedule released by the Director-General of the Atiku Presidential Campaign Organisation and former governor of Ogun State, Otunba Gbenga Daniel, Alhaji Atiku will commence the South West visitation on Monday, July 30 in Lagos while that of North East will start from Jigawa on August 6th with North West, South East and North Central scheduled for August 7th, August 13th and August 15th respectively.

An official reception in respect of his presidential ambition has been slated for Saturday July 21st in Yola by the Adamawa State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party, tagged “Mega Rally” The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) timetable released in January mandates all political parties to conduct party primaries including resolution of disputes arising from the primaries between August 18 and October 7, 2018.

Atiku is expected to battle the former governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido; governor of Gombe State, Alhaji Ibrahim Dankwambo; former governor of Sokoto State, Alhaji Attahiru Bafarawa; former Chairman of PDP National Caretaker Committee, Ahmed Makarfi; former governors of Kano State, Malam Ibrahim Shekarau and Rabiu Musa Kwakwanso and former Minister of Special Duties, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, for the ticket of the PDP in the 2019 election.

A 2019 presidential aspirant and founder of Sahara Reporters, Omoyele Sowore, has said that the true winners of the just concluded Ekiti State governorship election are those who demonstrated that they will continue to reject the lie that they have no options than to select either of the two major political parties, the All Progressives Party (APC) or Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Sowore in a statement by his political association, Take It Back Movement and signed by its Director of Public Relations and Communication, Rachel Onamusi-Kpiasi, congratulated all residents of Ekiti State for their conduct during the poll.

He noted that of the 909,585 registered voters in Ekiti and 667,270 (73.3%) that collected their PVCs, only 375,580 voted for both APC and PDP. “This implies that almost 58.7% of the Ekiti electorate chose not to be a part of the sham political process.”

The statement reads in part: “TakeitBack Movement on Ekiti Elections: APC and PDP’s shameful conduct in Ekiti confirm they are two sides of the same bad coin. We salute the great people of Ekiti State for their peaceful conduct during the recent gubernatorial election.

“We must also commend INEC for their conduct of the elections and for the timely release of the election results.

Osun guber: APC suspends state chairman, secretary As the July 19 primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) for the Osun State governorship election draws near, there is palpable tension in the party as 11 of the 16 members of the State Working Committee (SWC), have passed a vote of no confidence on the Chairman, Prince Gboyega Famodun, and the Secretary, Alhaji Rasak Salinsile.

Addressing newsmen in Osogbo on Monday, Mr Goke Ogunsola, the Legal Adviser to the party in the state, flanked by

10 other members of the SWC, including the Vice-chairman, Isah Azeez Adesiji, Assistant Secretary, Rasheed Bakare and the Chairman of Local Government Chairmen , Rufus Awotidoye, announced the suspension of both the Chairman, and the Secretary.

They said, “We, therefore, want to state loud and clear that we do not have confidence in the party Chairman and Secretary of the party in the state again. Therefore, we hereby pass a vote of no confidence on Prince Gboyega

Famodun, and Alhaji Abdul Rasak Salinsile, the Chairman and Secretary of the APC in the State of Osun respectively.

“We implore the state Deputy Chairman, Alhaji Azeez Isa Adesiji and the State Deputy Secretary, Alhaji Rasheed Bakare Idera to take over the mantle of leadership as the Acting Chairman and Acting Secretary respectively and lead the party to success in the forthcoming governorship election.

“Finally, we want to inform the head of various security agencies

in the state, more especially the Commissioner of Police, Osun State that the lives of members of Integrity Group within APC, which cut across the organs of the party in the state across the 30 local government council areas, and the area office are being threatened from certain quarters because of their stand against direct primary.

“We appeal to the heads of security agencies in the state to ensure the protection of our lives and property where ever we reside.”

Omoyele Sowore

“Despite the shameful behaviour of both the APC and PDP with their obscene and open attempts to purchase votes, as well as the highhanded conduct of the security forces, the people of Ekiti still had their say, peacefully, at the ballot box.

“We wish to note that ultimately, the true winners of the Ekiti elections are the Nigerian people, who have demonstrated that they will continue to reject the lie that they have no options than to select one or the other of the APC or the PDP. “Our Movement believes that this refusal to vote for either the APC or PDP, is further evidence that Nigerians are seeking an alternative progressive platform that will offer credible options to the corrupt, status quo political class.

“In February 2019, the great people of Ekiti, and indeed all Nigerians, will have an opportunity to vote in an election in which the TakeitBack Movement will present candidates of proven integrity and competence, for every office, from the Presidency through to Local Council Elections.”

Omoyele Sowore will be contesting in the 2019 general election. Although he has not officially announced a party, members of the movement say that a party will be announced before the end of July.

“With the coming into force of pension act, the NJC is saddled with the administration of the benefits of its judicial officers.”

Saleh noted that the exercise would give reliable and accurate data records of pensioners, which had resulted to detecting and terminating the menace of ghost pensioners.

“The deployment of

technological solutions including the introduction of e-monitoring solutions from direct data capturing machine is to have an accurate and reliable data for pensioners.

Says Buhari’s applauding aberration, undemocratic action Gbenga Sodeinde,

Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has said President Muhammadu Buhari has shown that he lacks democratic credentials by applauding and approving what he described as “a charade that passed for the governorship election in Ekiti State last Saturday.”

The governor was reacting to a statement by a media aide of Buhari, Mallam Garba Shehu, entitled “Fayose: In the end, a high-powered nothing,” issued by the Presidency to react to Saturday’s election.

Fayose, in his reaction through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Idowu Adelusi, in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, said if Buhari was a democrat, he would not have supported a situation whereby the will of the people was subverted through the use of brutal force.

He said: “President Muhammadu Buhari should not be happy and applaud this situation whereby the police, army, civil defence and INEC were used to snatch the collective mandate freely given to the Peoples Democratic Party candidate, Professor Kolapo Olusola and delivering it to the All Progressives Congress candidate which Ekiti people rejected.

“Can you call that election? Of course not.

It was a contest between Olusola and the INEC and security agencies.

“There was indiscriminate arrest of our party leaders, harassment and brutalisation of voters in a massive scale especially in Ado Ekiti, Ikere and others areas. The thugs imported by the APC operated freely under the cover of security agencies to snatch ballot boxes, create confusion, cause mayhem and drive away voters in PDP strong holds. Our party agents were driven

away with gun.

“Buhari has demonstrated truly that he is not a democrat, but a dictator who is yet to get over military mentality.

“I am Peter Ayodele Fayose, I hold my head high.

I can never be suppressed. I don’t lose battles and I will not lose this. I will laugh last. Those waiting for me, will wait in vain. They should remember what the prophet said to that heady king in the Bible, which applies to them. He that wears the armour should not boast as he that removes it.

“It is only Buhari that will pride himself with the security shooting sporadically at polling centres, scaring people to pave the way for the APC thugs to snatch ballot boxes.

“What Buhari has won as referendum from Ekiti people, Nigerians, and international community is shame. If APC has truly won, why is it that there is no jubilation in Ekiti?

“The victory of Kayode Fayemi is pyricc. We will reclaim the stolen mandate in the court by the power of God,” he said.

On Mallam Shehu Garba, the governor said being a fair weather friend, he would soon desert his current pay masters.

“Garba Shehu was in the Presidency courtesy Alhaji Atiku Abubakar for eight years and came back for this current dispensation still courtesy Abubakar.

Now, he has abandoned the person who brought him to the limelight.

“This is not surprising.

When he was the President of the Nigerian Guild of Editors during the regime of General Sani Abacha, he wined and dined with the maximum ruler. He would go under the cover of darkness to collect money purportedly for editors, but everybody knew what he did then. Nigerians are waiting to nail him in the end,” he added.

Vladimir Putin: Russia thwarted 25m cyber attacks during World Cup

Almost 25 million cyber attacks and other crimes on Russian IT infrastructure involved in organising the World Cup have been neutralised, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in comments released on Monday.

Putin thanked representatives of law enforcement agencies from around the world for their assistance in ensuring safety during the football most

prestigious tournament.

Law enforcement representatives from 34 countries collaborated in providing security, Putin said in a speech, according to a Kremlin transcript.

“People who came to our country really felt safe and were able to calmly and comfortably travel between cities and the country as a whole to watch their favourite teams at stadiums and fan zones,” Putin said.

Anthony Joshua to defend heavyweight titles against Alexander Povetkin Britain’s Anthony Joshua will defend his World Boxing Association, World Boxing Organization and International Boxing Federation heavyweight titles against Russia’s Alexander Povetkin at London’s Wembley Stadium on September 22, promoter Eddie Hearn announced Monday Povetkin is the mandatory challenger for

Simona Halep stays on top as Angelique Kerber and Venus Serena move up Simona Halep retained the number one spot in the latest women’s rankings despite losing in the third round at Wimbledon, but below her the upsets at the grass-court major caused turmoil.

Winner Angelique Kerber jumped six places to fourth, while the two women who contested the 2017 final both fell sharply after failing to match that performance.

Venus Williams, the beaten finalist last time, lost in the third

round and dropped five places to 14.

Reigning champion Garbine Muguruza fell in the second round and lost four places to number seven.

The biggest gainer was Serena Williams who reached the final in just the fourth tournament of her comeback following daughter Olympia’s birth in September and leapt 153 places to 28.

London rail station renamed after Southgate London’s transport bosses temporarily renamed an underground station in honour of England football team manager Gareth Southgate after the team flew home following their run to the last four of the World Cup.

England enjoyed their best World Cup performance in 28 years under Southgate’s leadership, reaching the semifinals and narrowly missing a spot in the final, losing to Croatia after extra-time.

Southgate proved popular

with England’s fans for helping create a renewed sense of optimism.

After the team returned home on Sunday, Transport for London rebranded Southgate underground station in North London as the “Gareth Southgate” station for 48 hours.

“We have to celebrate the achievement, it’s important,” said Patricia Gomez, 44, who travelled from Morden in south London on her day off on Monday to get a photograph with the new sign. “(Gareth) was awesome, he gave the team motivation, he made them work as a family.”

After winning the tournament on Sunday, France also saw similar tributes on the Paris Metro, where six stops have been temporarily renamed.

Southgate’s popularity led many fans to copy his fashion style during matches of wearing a waistcoat as he watched from the dugout.

One retailer said sales of waistcoats had soared during the tournament while the day of the semi-final clash with Croatia was dubbed “Waistcoat Wednesday”.

“Maybe we’ll get a statue next,” said Steve Ingall from TfL.

Joshua’s WBA title and a successful bout against the Russian would give the London 2012 Olympic champion greater freedom to choose his next opponent.

Joshua had been hoping to fight fellow unbeaten heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, who holds the World Boxing Council belt, but he could yet face the American in April 2019.
