Imo: 69 parties, 50 guber candidates back Ihedioha’s victory Continued from page 1

Peter Okafor, state Chairman, Peoples Redemption Party (PRP) and others who spoke on behalf of the group, described the election as free, fair, credible and the victory of the PDP candidate, as well deserved.

They berated some of their members who according to reports plan to approach the court to challenge the election, stressing that efforts should rather be made on how to support the incoming government to succeed.

“We call on every Imolites and Nigerians in general to disregard the release issued by some of our colleagues against the Imo guber election.

“On the contrary, we are all

delighted with the outcome and are solidly behind the governorelect, Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha.

We shall stand behind him to succeed,” the parties stated.

In a related development, over 50 governorship candidates in the state have accepted the outcome of the Governorship election and pledged their collective support to Ihedioha.

Speaking on their behalf, in a press briefing in Owerri on Saturday, Excel NwaneriOchiama of the Fresh Democratic Party (FDP) said they are of the expectation that the governor-elect will focus on revamping the economy of the state as well as prioritise effort on human capacity building once he assumes office.

He said: “Ordinary, we will

say we are heading to the court but to challenge the result or the outcome but to establish certain areas INEC must have to improve, particularly on transmission of results. But as patriotic citizens, we all saw the will of our people expressed by way of vote for Rt. Hon. Emeka Ihedioha and we decided to accept our faith and submit our memoranda whenever time calls for it.

“We also want the world to know that about 90% of us in Imo are in full support of the election outcome.

“For those of us who are clamouring to head to the court, we appeal to them to sheath their political sword, so that we can collectively drive Imo to our place in destiny.”

Buhari, APC NWC meet over NASS leadership

We won’t allow opposition to hold strategic positions - Oshiomhole

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari, the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, National Working Committee (NWC) and newly elected senators on the platform of the ruling party have met to strategise for the emergence of a consensus leadership for the ninth Senate.

Oshiomhole in his remarks cautioned that the lawmakers should be careful not to repeat the mistakes of the past where the ruling party produced the Senate President only for the opposition to emerge as his deputy.

Speaking to State House Correspondents on Monday night after the meeting, Oshiomhole said: “We had the first meeting with the President who is also the leader of the party and also with serving senators, newly elected senators and ranking senators.

The whole purpose of this is to bond the new and old members, to establish a new of relationship between the executive and the legislature”.

The Daily Times recalls that lack of consensus among Senators on the platform of the majority APC members resulted in the election of Senator Bukola Saraki as Senate President of the eighth Senate in alliance with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)’s Senators which later produced Senator Ike Ekweremadu as his deputy.

The APC chairman called on the lawmakers to work on a consensus since the APC senators are in the majority so as not to give room to the PDP members to hijack the Senate leadership.

As things stand, four ranking members of the Senate have openly shown interests in contesting for the position of the Senate President.

These include the incumbent Senate Leader, Ahmed Lawan, former governor of Gombe State, Sen. Danjuma Goje, Senator Ali Ndume and former Abia State governor, Orji Uzor Kalu.

Oshiomhole urged the President, as the head of the APC

political family, to wade into the leadership struggle to avoid the repeat of 2015 power struggle that resulted in the opposition taking over strategic committees in the Senate.

According to him, with about 65 Senators on the platform of the APC and over 230 House of Representatives members, the ruling party is in a comfortable position to form the leadership without the input of the opposition members.

Oshiomhole stressed that it is imperative for the party to get the leadership of the National Assembly right for there to be seamless working relationship between the legislature and the executive.

He said: “The system talks about the separation of powers between the executive and legislature and the two must handshake for things to happen. And when you have a president that is determined to drive changes, fundamental changes that will affect our habits, our life style, review the economy, deal with the security situation, fight corruption as fiercely as he is trying to do, he will need a very supportive legislative arm of government. And happily, the Nigerian people have given us the number in the legislative arm of government, all we have agreed today is that we will use these numbers as a functioning whole to determine the leadership of the senate in a way that we are not going to go to the floor of the senate and allow the opposition dictate who becomes the senate president. Because, we have comfortable majority to drive that, what we have to do is to manage that majority.

“We have discussed those specifics and because these are businesses that have to do with elections, as a caucus this is more or less a meeting of the incoming caucus to discuss leadership question and to build consensus around individual so that people don’t have to go trading, generating heat in a way that can weaken internal solidarity in the party.

“Of course, we are aware that

the opposition is expecting that the APC senators are going to fight themselves, the House of Representatives are going to fight themselves and then they will take advantage and pick who they will support. They will be disappointed because our senators are seasoned senators, we have a cream of ranking senators that are in their own right capable of providing leadership of the senate.

So, what we have to do is to weave all these together and arrive at a consensus of who leads and everybody follows. So that we will have this time, a more cohesive National Assembly and I think it went extremely well.”

Also commenting, Zamfara State Governor, Abdulaziz Yari, said: “We took a step back to 2015 and reviewed what happened in the Senate and House of Representatives. Now, we want to go as one APC family notwithstanding our brothers from the other party. We are now talking about Nigeria first. The President requested that we all work for the betterment of Nigeria.

As regards the leadership, the president requested that we work hand in hand to ensure that we come out as one family, so that what belongs to majority goes to majority and what belongs to minority goes to minority.

“We assured him of full cooperation to ensure we revamp economy, tackle insecurity and fight corruption. We assured him that the ninth Assembly will work in harmony with the executive arm.”

Simon Lalong of Plateau said: “What the president has done today, I think is the right step in the right direction. The last time we did not have the opportunity of this politics but today, Mr. President invited us. Because, we are governors and we also dialogue with our senators.

“Mr. President said in order to avoid rancour, let me lay the the way forward and we are very happy he has laid the way forward and because of that we are all going to work towards achieving the desire of Mr. President for the good of this country.”

Buhari, APC accuse PDP of illegal access to INEC server Andrew Orolua, Doosuur Iwambe and Tunde Opalana, Abuja

President Muhammadu Buhari and the APC Presidential Campaign Council have accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of having illegal access to the computer server of the Independent National Electoral commission (INEC) to be able to smuggle in fake results into the server.

In a petition addressed to the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed and the Director General of the State Security Service, Yusuf Bichi, the spokesperson of President Buhari’s campaign organisation, Festus Keyamo, SAN, called for the invitation, interrogation and prosecution of the PDP officials.

The petition titled, ‘’Petition to invite, Interrogate and Investigate the PDP leadership over its admittance of illegal access to INEC’s server’’ claimed that Nigerians were shocked to see already prepared presidential election results less than 24 hours after the poll was postponed by the electoral umpire.

According to the ruling party, the fake results gave victory to Atiku Abubakar when elections did not hold.

The statement read in part: ‘’We wish you to note that INEC’s server is the back

end of electronic records of INEC. ‘’Although, the purported results have been conclusively shown by public engagements to be false and even ridiculous, especially as the total number of accredited voters is exactly equivalent to the purported votes of the APC and PDP candidates, this criminal claim of the PDP has revealed a few things: ‘’It is now clear that some criminally-minded PDP operatives have access to the INEC server to be able to smuggle in fake results into that server. ‘’The only means by which they could have access to the INEC server is by the criminal hacking of the server or through the criminal conspiracy of some INEC officials. ‘’The APC presidential campaign council hereby prays that the inspectorgeneral of police and the director-general of the Department of State Services use your good offices to investigate the hacking of and/or illegal tampering with the INEC server by the PDP. ‘’The leadership of the PDP must be invited, interrogated and investigated and those identified as perpetrators must be arrested and prosecuted. Opposition is healthy in a democracy but it is not a license for criminality and illegality. ‘’A country governed by laws cannot be blackmailed or cowed into indolence by the perceived underdog status of the opposition so as to condone such

a blatant criminal claim by the PDP of having illegal access to INEC’s server. ‘’Upon the last-minute postponement of the February 16, 2019 Presidential/ National Assembly Elections, the nation was shocked to see already prepared presidential elections results floating around in the cyber space just less than 24 hours after the postponed election was originally billed to hold.

‘’The fake results had details of the scores of the candidates of the major parties. Of course, the fake results gave victory to the candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, even when elections did not hold. ‘’The only conclusion one can draw from the above is that the PDP had prepared those results which were to be smuggled into the INEC Server.

However, the sudden postponement of the election scuttled that evil plan, but it was too late to restrain the release of the fake results.

However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has described President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress (APC) allegation of its hacking into the official server of

Court approves collation, announcement of Bauchi Gov’ship result Dismisses APC, Gov. Abubakar’s suit

Andrew Orolua, Abuja Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court Abuja, on Monday, vacated her earlier order stopping the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from collating and announcing the governorship election results of Tafawa Belawa Local Government Area of Bauchi State held on 9, March, 2019.

The judge also dismissed the entire suit filed by All Progressives Congress (APC) and its governorship candidate, Governor Mohammed Abubakar, that gave rise to last week’s Wednesday court order.

APC and Governor Abubakar had sued INEC to challenge the commission’s decision to resume collation and announce the final results of Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of the state, after the election in the state had been declared inconclusive.

The plaintiffs, particularly Abubakar, who is aiming to be elected for a second

term as governor, had contended that INEC having announced that there would be a supplementary election, could not reverse the decision without the backing of an order of court.

On its path, INEC had insisted that only the Buachi State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal had the jurisdiction to hear the matter since the election has already been held in part.

Delivering judgment, Justice Ekwo, whose earlier order had forced the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to suspend the collation and announcement of the result, said on Monday that the court had power to interpret the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and answer question posed by the plaintiffs.

Justice Ekwo agreed that his court and the Election Petition Tribunal had concurrent jurisdiction to review the decision of INEC to reverse its earlier decision to conduct a supplementary election in Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area until the final results

of the election are announced.

However, he held that in the light of the objection raised by INEC who had challenged the jurisdiction, it is “approximate for the plaintiff to take the matter to the Bauchi State governorship Election Petition Tribunal.”

The court noted that the issue raised by the plaintiff prayer are post-election matter which means that they are more approximate for the Bauchi State Governorship and Legislative House of Assembly Election Petition Tribunal to handle.

Justice Ekwo, therefore, set aside his earlier order of March 19, 2019, which stopped the collation of the results.

After declining jurisdiction to hear the substantive case, the judge ruled in his judgment on Monday that “the defendant (INEC) should be allowed to continue its constitutional duty.”

“There is no legal impediment before the defendant to go on with the decision of the defendant to execute its decision in its press release,” the judge ruled.

Investing in education’ll grow Nigeria’s economy- Envoy The Korean Ambassador to Nigeria, Lee In-tae, has pledged his government’s commitment to collaborate more with Nigeria in ensuring that the Nigerian child have access to quality education.

Speaking at an interactive session with the staff and students of the University of Abuja, the envoy said that with proper implementation of educational policies in the country, nothing can stop the Nigerian government from achieving its desired

economic growth.

While promising to do his best in partnering with the Nigerian government to improve the educational sector, In-tae also said that plans are underway for his government to replicate the Korean Model School in Abuja at the six geopolitical zones of the country.

“Education is a very important factor. There is a very close relationship between education and economic growth. I think if Nigerian government

implements its educational policies to the later, then nothing will stop them from achieving their desired economic growth.

“I am so interested in the model school operation. I am planning to discuss with the Ministry of Education and some Vice Chancellors of Universities on how to collaborate between Nigeria and Korea for mutual benefits. I have many plans but I’m constraints by our funds because our budget is fixed, not unlimited.”

the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as total fabrication and smear campaign.

Rather than engaging in falsehood and appeal to pity, the party asked Buhari and the APC to prepare to face PDP legal team at the Presidential election tribunal.

It said President Buhari is overweighed by the burden of illegitimacy, following overwhelming evidence before the tribunal that he stole the Presidential mandate, hence this lame attempt at blackmailing the tribunal by engaging in clear acts of subjudice.

The PDP in a reaction by its National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, stated that the facts and issues touching on the INEC server are already within the public domain and Nigerians are already at home with them.

“By resorting to shadow-boxing outside the tribunal, President Buhari and the APC have shown that they have no defence to present to the court against PDP’s submission that they stole our mandate.

“It is even more appalling that Festus Keyamo, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN) and a member of Buhari’s legal team, who should know better, would engage in this act of subjudice designed to distort facts already known to Nigerians that our Presidential Candidate and former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, clearly won the February 23 Presidential election.

“Since it has become clear that President Buhari has no defence to present to the court, we counsel him to save the nation further stress by surrendering our mandate, which was freely given by majority of Nigerians to Atiku Abubakar”, said the PDP.

Building collapse: Civil engineers identify quacks in building constructions as major cause Motolani Oseni, Lagos Following incessant building collapse in Lagos and other parts of the country, Nigerian Institute of Civil Engineers (NICE) has identified the engagement of quacks in the construction of buildings as a major cause.

This is even as two persons on Monday sustained varying injuries after another three-storey building collapsed in Lagos Island.

The incident which happened on 50 Kakawa Street brought to four the number of buildings that had collapsed in the area since the March 13 disaster that killed no fewer than 18 persons on Massey Street, Itafaaji, while the state government has pulled down 17 defective structures within the same period.

Speaking on the ceaseless building collapse in Lagos and across the country, Engineer Lola Adetona, called on Nigerians to engage qualified civil engineers whenever they are embarking on building construction.

Although, she identified other factors responsible for building collapse but lamented over the engagement of quacks in the construction of buildings.

While sympathising with the victims of the various building collapse in Lagos, she commended Lagos State government rescue agencies for their prompt attention leading to the saving of lives.

Commenting on Ita Faaji building collapse, she said that it is surprising that a residential building was converted to accommodate a school.

According to her, “Nigerian Institute of Civil Engineers joins many Nigerians to commiserate with the families of victims of events that took place on 14th March and we appreciate all those who came for the rescue of victims.

“As a body of Civil Engineers when this kind of thing happened, the question we asked is, what went wrong? Is it a human factor or God- factor?

“We have realised that as of now, there is no record that civil engineers are involved in building collapse we have witnessed in recent times. As a body of professionals, we want to say we are not happy with the way things are going and we need to change the trend.

“Most quacks have taken over the construction of buildings and when you employed quacks, you get low quality of structures. We have a body of professional civil engineers, we have an institution and we go all out to ensure that our staff are trained. We trained them to erect good structures. Don’t patronise quacks, let’s go through the right procedure”, she said.

She said the NICE is ready to partner with all government parastatals and agencies towards making Lagos BuildingCollapse free.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State Government has urged occupants of marked distressed buildings across the state to immediately vacate them pending the arrival of the demolition team of Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA).

Also, relief and resettlement centres have been opened to accommodate those affected.

Ndume joins Senate Presidency race, seeks party’s blessing Tunde Opalana, Abuja Former Senate Leader, Sen. Mohammed Ali Ndume, has announced his intention to run for the office of the President of the Senate of the 9th National Assembly, even as he is seeking the blessing of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to contest.

Sen. Ndume said he is throwing his hat into the ring believing that the Senate President position would be zoned to the North East geopolitical zone where he hails from.

The former Senate leader, in a letter of intent dated March 25, 2019 and addressed to the APC National Chairman, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, said the decision to seek election into the exalted office was borne out of his desire to help accelerate socio-economic development of the nation.

“Following the successful conduct of the 2019

general election and the overwhelming victory of our great party, the APC at all levels, I hereby forward my letter of intent to contest for the office of the President of the Senate in the 9th National Assembly,” the letter read in part.

“I wish to emphasise that my decision to contest for the Senate Presidency is informed by my conviction to contribute my quota to nation building,” the letter stated.

Sen. Ndume, who served as minority leader in the 6th House of Representatives and majority leader in the 8th Senate, assured of his capacity to deliver on party policies and programmes, saying, “My vast legislative experience and my deep desire to take Nigeria to the next level of development” are reasons for contesting.

Sen. Ndume, in the letter, said calls from respected party (members) both within the North East and other parts of the country have

Sen Ndume encouraged his aspiration.

“For these reasons and more, I wish to forward myself for the blessings of the Party, my Colleagues in the Senate and fellow Nigerians for the post of the President of the Senate.”

He expressed optimism “that the Party leadership will see the desired wisdom in zoning the Senate Presidency

to the North-East due to our sterling performance in the 2019 polls, giving the President the second highest votes cast.”

He said the position would enable him to also fulfill the aspirations of the insurgencyravaged people of the North East whose respite came with the coming of APC government in 2015.

Minimum Wage: Rewane committee submits report to President Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

The Presidential Technical Advisory Committee on new Minimum Wage led by renowned economist, Bismarck Rewane - CEO of Financial Derivatives, has submitted its report to President Muhammadu Buhari.

The report was submitted on Monday, with ways in which the Federal Government can generate revenue to pay the new minimum wage.

Receiving the report at the State House, Abuja, President Buhari pledged to carefully consider the recommendations of the committee for speedy implementation.

The Presidential Technical Advisory Committee on the implementation of the new National Minimum Wage was

inaugurated on the 9th day of January with the mandate of advising government on how best to fund the wage increase.

The Daily Times recalls that the committee was mandated to advice on the consequential increases in salaries and allowances for other employees, without worsening the country’s already difficult fiscal condition and without adversely affecting the nation’s development goals.

It was also required to propose a work plan and modalities for implementation of the salary increase.

Buhari said: “I am very pleased that the Committee took on this important national assignment with all seriousness.

Let me thank the chairman, Mr. Bismarck Rewane, and all the Committee members most sincerely for your patriotism, hard work, commitment and sacrifices.

“I understand that you have worked tirelessly to ensure that you deliver the report before we receive the Minimum Wage Bill from the National Assembly. Let me also thank the Minister of Budget and National Planning, for coordinating the work of the Committee.

“I also commend the Budget Office of the Federation; the National Incomes, Salaries and Wages Commission; the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation; the Federal Inland Revenue Service; the National Bureau of Statistics and the Central Bank of Nigeria, all of which I understand provided strong support to the Committee in the course of this assignment.

“May I also appreciate the support we received from private sectors, particularly, Access Bank Plc; P r i c e wa t e r h o u s e C o o p e r s ; KPMG Advisory Services;

Financial Derivatives Company and Economic Associates.

I thank them all for their contributions to the successful conclusion of the Committee’s work.”

He pledged to review and implement the recommendations made by the committee.

“We will review this report expeditiously. In the process, we may need to engage with some members of your Committee, I therefore implore you to make your services available whenever we may call on you,” he said.

Speaking to journalists after the event, Minister of Budget and National Planning, Udo Udoma, said that the report would be carefully studied and implemented in line with governments plan to give Nigerian workers a new minimum wage.

Court to hear suit on Rivers’ Gov’ship election March 28 Andrew Orolua, Abuja

Justice Inyang Ekwo of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Monday fixed March 28 to hear three separate suits seeking to stop the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) from proceeding with the collation, conclusion and announcement of March 9, 2019 Governorship and House of Assembly elections in Rivers State.

Justice Ekwo had last Friday after declining the request of the African Action Congress (AAC), Engr. Biokpomabo Awara and Ben-Gurion Peter, to stop the collation of results of

Rivers State Governorship and House of Assembly election, adjourned till yesterday (Monday) for hearing of both the ex-parte application and the main suits.

When the matter resumed on Monday, the court held that the ex-parte application has been overtaken by event, as both parties were in court.

But the lawyers said they need time to file their papers in response to the plaintiff suit.

Justice Ekwo subsequently adjourned the matter till March 28, for hearing of the main suit and ordered parties to regularise their processes in the suit.

Recall that INEC had two weeks ago fixed Wednesday,

March 20, for the resumption of collation, conclusion and announcement of the remaining results in the election.

The electoral body had suspended the electoral process after some military personnel and armed men invaded its collation centre in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

After it suspended the process, INEC then constituted a fact finding committee to look into the issue and advise accordingly.

Following the report of the fact finding committee, INEC then announced that it would resume collation of the results in Rivers State, adding that it has in its custody

results already collated and announced from 17 local governments areas.

INEC announcement prompted the plaintiffs to approach the court for an order to stop INEC from resuming collation of the election results.

The plaintiffs represented

by Tawo Tawo SAN, had in their originating summons prayed the court to stop INEC from resuming, collating and concluding the March 9 election results in Rivers State and from declaring any person or group as winners of the poll.

Two other suits on the Rivers Governorship election similar to the one filed by AAC have been adjourned to same date, March 28 for hearing.

Appeal Court nullifies APC primaries in Zamfara CUPP hails court ruling

Andrew Orolua, Abuja

The Court of Appeal Sokoto Division on Monday in unanimous judgment set aside the order of Zamara State High Court, Gusau that allowed the All Progressives Congress (APC) to field candidates in the 2019 elections.

The appellate nullified the decision of the lower Court for its failure to evaluate evidences before arriving at its decision in suit filed by Kabiru LimanDanalhaji and 139 others against the APC, Senator Kabiru Marafa, chairman of the Senate Committee on Petroleum (Downstream); and 129 others.

Delivering lead judgment, Justice Tom Yakubu, held that the lower court failed in its duty to properly evaluate the evidence before it.

Judges, he held, “have the legal power to produce judgment and reach decisions with reason,” noting that “in the instance case, it was not done. I am convinced that the lower court has failed to evaluate the evidence before reaching the decision.”

“The Appeal Court has power in law to access pieces of evidence on appeal, which we have done.

“Based on available facts, the respondents did not contradict the INEC evidence on conducting the said primary election,” Yakubu said.

The presiding justice, added that “documented evidence has upper consideration than oral ones.”

Justice Yakubu held that the plaintiffs, being card-carrying party members and aspirants in the said election have locus to bring the action.

The court agreed that the judgment should serve as “bitter lesson for political parties as they ought to follow legitimate guidelines and rules.

Domestic affairs of political party activities must act within the confines of the law in dealing with party members and elections.”

Two other justices on the panel: Justice Tijjani Abubakar and Justices Tijjani Abubakar and Jamilu Tukur agreed with the lead judgment.

It would be recalled that a Zamfara High Court recognised the APC primary election that produced governorship, state and National Assembly candidates on the eve of the election, forcing INEC which had earlier declared that APC had no candidate in Zamfara State to accept them for the election.

Dissatisfied with state high court decision, the appellants approached the Appeal Court, challenging the decision on the ground that the state high court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit, among others.

The Daily Times also recalls that similar case was instituted before the same Appeal Court by Rep. Aminu Jaji, a

governorship aspirant and member representing Kaura Namoda/Birnin Magaji Federal Constituency and it was dismissed after Jaji withdrew.

The appellate court decision is coming two weeks after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had declared Mukhtar Shehu of the APC as the winner of March 9, governorship election in Zamfara State.

The Returning Officer for Zamfara State, Professor Kabiru Bala, declared Shehu of the APC as the winner on March 11, stating that Shehu scored 534, 541 votes to defeat his rival from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Bello Muhammad, who polled 189, 452 votes.

In the light of the Court of Appeal judgment, it was not certain on Monday whether the opposition political party will approach the tribunal to declare its candidate winner of the election.

Meanwhile, the Coalition of United Political Parties (CUPP) has hailed Monday’s judgement which nullified the primaries of the APC in Zamfara State.

Similarly, CUPP commended the court for its ruling vacating its earlier order restricting INEC from continuing the collation of governorship election result from Tafawa Balewa Local Government Area of Bauchi State, saying the development had opened the room for official declaration of the winner of Bauchi State governorship election.

In a statement by its spokesman, Ikenga Ugochinyere, CUPP said with the court’s decision, gradually the house of political injustice that the APC built will collapse on their head.

Recall that the Court of Appeal sitting in Sokoto State, led by Justice Tom Yakubu, set aside the judgement of a Zamfara High Court on the All Progressives Congress primary election that produced the party’s candidates for the governorship, national and state assembly elections.”

Speaking on the Bauchi governorship case, CUPP said: “The road is now clear for the official declaration of Senator Bala Mohammed as the people’s governor-elect for Bauchi State.

“This ruling is a huge victory for our constitutional democracy and an end to the shameful attempts by enemies of our constitutional governance to use the court to ambush and deny the Bauchi people their constitutional right to see the man they elected sworn in as their governor.

“The Buhari APC shameful legacy of attempting to use the court to halt constitutional electoral process must be condemned by all Nigerians, “he said.

According to the governor, all leaders in the state, irrespective of their political affiliations must work in unity to develop the state, adding that “all of us must work together in order to forge ahead. No one man’s interest is bigger than that of the state.”

He welcomed the former deputy governorship candidate into the PDP, noting that he would be part of the group to consolidate the development of the state.

Speaking on the development, the PDP National Chairman, Prince Uche Secondus described the defection as a welcome development, which would help Rivers state move forward.

He said: “This is a welcome

development. This is what a normal situation is supposed to be. The people will see the reason why we must work together. This is an uncommon decision. You have taken a wise decision because you have the interest of the people at heart.”

Prince Secondus called on INEC to bring the Rivers election to a logical conclusion, so that the people can continue with their lives.

He called on the Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi and followers “to see reason why they should stop destabilizing the state and causing confusion.”

Earlier, the former AAC deputy governorship candidate, Chief Akpo Bomba Yeeh, said the state developed by her founding fathers should be sustained by the efforts of all patriots.

He said: “Today, I am in your midst to declare my defection to the PDP. Governor Wike is a man of vision. He is a man of compassion. It is his compassion that endears him to the people of Rivers State. I choose to identify with him to move the state forward.”

Short News Court adjourns indefinitely trial of El-Zakzaky, wife

A Kaduna state High Ccourt presided over by Justice Gideon Kurada on Monday adjourned indefinitely, the trial of the leader of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) also known as Shiite, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife, Zinat.

El-Zakzaky and wife are standing trial over allegations of culpable homicide, unlawful assembly and disruption of public peace, among others.

Justice Kurada, adjourned hearing of the case indefinitely, following his appointment to serve as the judge in the Presidential and National Assembly Elections Petition Tribunal in Yobe state.

Speaking to newsmen shortly after the adjournment, Femi Falana (SAN) and lead counsel to the defendants said, aside the absence of the trial judge, his clients (ElZakzaky and wife Zinat) were in dire need of medical attention, the reason they could not appear in court.

Falana, said that his clients had not been given adequate medical care since December 14, 2015 when they were detained.

“So the court has adjourned sine die; meaning indefinitely. My clients are yet to access any form of medical attention even after the court had ordered so. The case had to be adjourned as both my clients need time to attend to their health,”Falana said.

Septuagenarian languishes in jail over son’s N1m unpaid hotel bill

A 75-year-old ailing old woman, Elizabeth Otubambo has been incarcerated at Ibara Prisons in Abeokuta, Ogun state over the unpaid hotel bills incurred by her son, Destiny Otubambo.

Otumbabo has been held since February 15 on the orders of an Ogun state Magistrates’ Court following her inability to produce her only child, Destiny Otubambo, who is alleged to have jumped bail after his mother stood surety for him.

The run-away son was arrested by the police, following complaints by the owner of Soultrag Hotel, Agbara in Ogun state, over unpaid hotel bills.

According to the Public Relations Officer, Ogun state Police Command, Destiny had lodged in the hotel with his three other friends for over a month, incurring a bill of about N1 million.

Oyeyemi disclosed that Destiny, who was held in prison custody after his arraignment was later granted bail after his aged mother stood surety for him.

He said that the court had ordered that the old woman should be held in prison custody until her son shows up to answer to the charges brought against him.

Meanwhile, neighbours and relations of an ailing 75-year-old woman have expressed concerns over her declining health.

Otumbabo who was residing at Iyana Isashi community in Ojo, near Lagos, is said to be in deteriorating health, a condition that has reportedly taken a turn for the worse since her incarceration.

Enugu East senatorial seat: Court decides Nnamani’s fate April 8 Andrew Orolua, Abuja A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja has fixed April 8 to deliver judgment in the suit seeking to disqualify former Enugu state Governor, Chimaroke Nnamani as the senator representing Enugu East Senatorial District over his alleged failure to physically depose to an affidavit in support of his nomination form.

Justice Inyang Ekwo fixed the date yesterday after counsel to both parties in the suit adopted their brief of arguments.

In a pre- election suit marked

FHC/ABJ/CS/1574/2018, the plaintiff, Lawrence Ezeh, a candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) is seeking an order restraining Nnamani from further parading or holding himself as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senatorial candidate for Enugu East.

The case of the plaintiff is that Nnamani, who contested the election on the platform of the PDP did not physically appear before the commissioner of oaths to depose to Form CF001 known as Independent National Electoral Commission affidavit in support of any person seeking election to the office/membership of senate.

Meanwhile, both Nnamani and

the INEC have all filed their motions challenging the competence of the suit as well as the jurisdiction of the court to adjudicate on the matter.

While the former governor was represented in court by Obina Onya, Mr. Tobechukwu Nweke appeared in court on behalf of the electoral body.

The suit which is predicated on Section 117 (4) of the Evidence Act, 2010, the plaintiff asked the court to determine whether Nnamani does not have a duty to personally appear before the commissioner of oaths to depose to the affidavit filed with the second defendant and whether he is eligible to contest the senatorial poll.

One of Nigeria’s foremost and famous writers, poet and novelist, Dr. Gabriel Okara, is dead.

Okara, who is from Bumoundi, in Yenagoa Local Government Area of Bayelsa state, died at Federal Medical Center (FMC) in Yenagoa on Sunday.

The legendary poet and novelist who was a lifelong patron of the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA) died at the age of 97 years and a month to his 98th birthday.

A family member, who pleaded anonymity, said Okara was relaxing at his Yenagoa residence when he slumped about 4p.m. on Sunday. He said the head of the Okara family has sent a text message out for an emergency meeting and the family would issue a formal statement afterwards.

Meanwhile, the Association of Nigerian Authors (ANA), Bayelsa state chapter, in a statement by its Chairman, Mrs. Bina Ilagha, said the association was saddened by the news of the death.

“The association is ruffled by the news because it came at a time when preparations are in top gear to celebrate his masterpiece: The Voice at 55. We are saddened by the news, but are consoled that he left behind lofty legacies. Pa Okara, through his literary exploits put Bayelsa in the map of literary excellence,” she said.

Also, the speech writer to the Governor of Bayelsa, and one time Chairman of ANA, Mr. Michael Afenfia, in a statement in Yenagoa expressed sadness about the death.

Gabriel Imomotimi Okara (born 24 April 1921) is a Nigerian poet and novelist who was born in Bumoundi in Yenagoa, Bayelsa state.

The first modernist poet of Anglophone Africa, he is best known for his early experimental novel, “The Voice (1964) and his award-winning poetry, The Fisherman’s Invocation (1978) and The Dreamer, His Vision (2005).”

Governance in Nigeria: A multi-trillion naira industry

Ademola Adeoye

The major and foremost reason there is always so much tension, crisis and bloodshed in our polity during elections is because governance in Nigeria is a multitrillion naira industry for a few, not a tool for national development.

Sadly, it is the only industry in Nigeria that is working. Also, it is the only industry that can make you a millionaire overnight—on the condition that you know what to do and where to go. In politics, you can go to bed a pauper and wake up a millionaire!

A few days ago, I was on phone with one of my mentors and we were talking about a billionaire— who is currently in the corridors of power—who has never worked anywhere else apart from being a politician. As far as folks like him are concerned, governance is not a tool for nation building, enriching the common man, it is just a tool for personal aggrandizement. And when they lead prayers during political campaigns, you would think they know and fear God. For the umpteenth time, professional politicians have no religion.

They are neither Christians nor Muslims. The only religion they understand is money and power.

This is probably the only country on earth—where jobless and uneducated politicians call the shots of millions and billions.

And because it is the only industry that is working in Nigeria right now, many of our academics have left their varied fields of influence for politics. A politician, who does

not know jack, earns more than a professor—who has spent most of his life studying, researching and delivering problem-solving papers around the world. As a matter of fact, sometimes, uneducated politicians appoint professors to work under them.

It is a man-made evil—under the firmament of Nigeria.

Information reaching me from Kano has further confirmed and validated the issue I am addressing at this moment. Blood is being spilled right now in Kano, Northwest of Nigeria—during an ordinary supplementary election.

People’s teeth were removed, cars vandalized and people stabbed by thugs, being used by some uneducated and jobless politicians, who either want to come into power or want to remain in power. Remember, in Nigeria, power is sweet and no one tastes it and wants to leave power for his or her village.

An illiterate, who is a politician and who is in power is superior to a professor in Nigeria. We do not need to tell those coming behind us that ours is a nation that does not value education.

Even without telling them, they know already and as an effect of this, they are no longer studying hard. Why would they study hard when an SSCE holder can become either a governor or president of Nigeria?

When disaster did hit New Zealand a few days ago, you could see the exquisiteness and

beauty of governance on display.

The arrow-head of that nation went on air immediately to address her people. She did not only use sweet and empty words while talking to her people, she went ahead to sit where they were sitting. She took decisive actions and did not play politics with the precious lives of her people. Also, the virtue of empathy came to the fore and you could almost touch it. You do not need to be told that in New Zealand that governance is for service, not for personal aggrandizement as we are having in Nigeria.

Some hours after New Zealand did get hit by some terrorists (they are terrorists as far as I am concerned), virtually everyone in the developed world began to identify with them. I later saw on social media where a Nigerian did say that those in the West do not like Africans, saying that they do not identify with us when disaster does hit us. And I did respond with this question, “Do we like ourselves?” The value of a New Zealander is obviously higher than that of a Nigerian.

You can argue with this truth for all I care, but it does not change it from being what it is.

On a daily basis, how many people are being killed in Kaduna and other parts of Nigeria? Can you see the virtue of empathy in the arrow-head of Nigeria? How many times has the President of Nigeria gone to sit where those in the IDP camps are sitting?

Apart from releasing same lines (of condemning killings) on social media each time a disaster does hit us as a people, have they been able to contain them?

Bloodletting does not move Nigerians anymore. A hundred (100) people could be killed and Nigerians would just move on as if nothing happens. This is what happens when governance is just a mere tool for money making.

What would make people spend billions of naira because they want to hijack or retain power? Is it because they love Nigeria so much? Is it because they just want to serve the poor, making the poor man becoming rich? No! It is because Nigeria is so rich and they need power to further enrich themselves. Every penny spent during elections, shall be recouped, if they win in the long run. For the umpteenth time, governance is not a tool for service, it is a multi-trillion naira industry—where illiterates are ruling those who are educated.

Lastly, a politician confessed that the reason they have destroyed education in Nigeria is because they do not want the children of the poor to compete with the children of the rich in the days to come. They know that when you become enlightened, you would start asking questions, wanting to know why some so called Statesmen deliberately decided to structure Nigeria to fail. Nigeria cannot walk, let alone fly as she is.

Lessons from the last General Elections

Uddin Ifeanyi

One of the many unsavoury conclusions from the last general elections describes how little is the progress we have made since our last collective visit to the polls. In 2015, card readers were simultaneously the “killer application”, designed to take our democracy to the next level and the bête noire of that year’s general elections, speaking to severe weaknesses in our processes. In a few highly publicised instances, these devices didn’t work as they were advertised to. But when, finally, they worked, the process left no doubt that an effective system of authentication of each voter is a non-negotiable requirement of our transition to a proper democracy. It matters, therefore, that across the economy, authentication processes are in place and functioning well in diverse spheres of our lives, which make the technology on which our card readers are currently based look decidedly antediluvian.

Last year alone, just one example, this, bank customers carried out ₦138.67 trillion worth of their businesses on the different electronic payments platform offered by the industry. This was 32.5% more than the ₦104.67 trillion transactions they carried out on the same platforms in 2017.

Of course, it is hard to put a price to any process that strengthens our democracy. The gains from being able to properly choose our leaders and being able to hold them

accountable once in office will be felt across the economy. It is equally well-nigh impossible to properly cost the damage to the economy from arbitrary and unaccountable leaderships across the three tiers of government. Still the numbers out of the banks mean that we have the infrastructure to move our voting procedures on to more efficient platforms. Underpinning all these numbers are banks’ use of unique customer data on which the authentication platforms which support these transactions run.

It is worth pointing out that the biometric part of banks’ customer data is a latter-day addition from the central bank’s requirement of a bank verification number.

In other words, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has in its system more material than the banks have needed to help their customers move trillions of naira around the economy. Why do we, then, continue to have difficulties authenticating votes?

This question, invariably, leads to the excuse that we are a young democracy — and that the snafus associated with successive elections are but part of a gradually less-steep learning curve. In some telling of this excuse, our current democratic experience is estimated as barely two decades old. Serial interventions by the military appear in this narrative not only to have aborted previous such experiments. But to have deterged

our collective recollections of whatever lessons we learnt from participating in those small windows.

It counts for little, on this interpretation, that the first elections in this space took place on March 29, 1920, when the electorate voted for three members of the Lagos Town Council.

Somehow, it seems that we are incapable of learning much about democracy until we have had more than 200 years of unbroken experience of it. I.e. until we near where the Americans are today.

Persuasive, though, this argument may seem at first blush, it ignores too many inconvenient facts. Not only does it paper over the fact that there are thriving democracies that are not as old as Nigeria is — and so the denial by adventurous military officers of longevity to our democratic experiments cannot be the all-important part of the explanations of our continued failure at this exercise that it is made out to be.

But by insisting on reinventing the wheel in terms of the length of our experience of rule by the demos, of the demos, and for the demos, the argument around our inchoate democratic ethos ignores the many examples of use by emerging and frontier economies of new technology to leapfrog institutional disadvantages. The use in east Africa of mobile phone technology to deliver financial transaction and payments

solutions across economies is but one such example. In this regard, it is important that between our financial services institutions, the Federal Road Safety Commission, mobile telephony providers and INEC, we have biometric coverage of a significant number of Nigerians 18 years and older.

Reforms to our electoral process might eventually aim at making these diverse databases interoperable. But the goal will simply be to improve the ease of access and convenience of use of our voters’ cards in a way in which the plastic cards and the ATMs have altered the face of banking in the country. Arguably, peeves around governance — especially who has access to and how these data are stored, protected, and used — will have to be addressed. But none of these vexations addresses the failure of our political class to raise questions around root-and-branch reforms to our electoral processes.

One explanation (proffered by a friend in the conversation leading up to this piece) for this latter failing is that both the incumbent party and the pretend opposition (across the many levels of government) have strong interests vested in the opacity of our current processes. In the end, it is this, more than intervention by the military — debatably but itself a symptom of a much more troubling malaise — that is the biggest hurdle in the path of our quest for democratic government.

Editorial Commentary

Lagos’ dangerous Igbo/Yoruba war

Times Guest Columnist Festus Adedayo

Lagos, Nigeria in the 2019 Nigerian general elections had a lot in common with the Nigerian 1964 federal elections. The unifying factor between the two elections was how the ethnicities of both Igbo and Yoruba were deplored as a noticeable weapon of fighting elections.

Ethnic fissures became dominant catchphrases in political campaigns of the two political periods with demonization of ethnic groups by politicians for political advantages.

In the 2019 elections, Lagos became the cynosure of all eyes for its attempt at vilifying Igbo, for political advantage.

In several areas of the state, hundreds of social miscreants, popularly known as ‘Area Boys,’ apparently instigated by some political warlords, attacked Igbo traders in areas like Lagos Island. Their grouse against them was their allegedly not voting for President Muhammadu Buhari. Said to have been armed with dangerous weapons that ranged from cutlasses, broken bottles, wood and knives, the politicallymotivated hoodlums reportedly attacked Igbo in Oluwole, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Tinubu, Bamgbose and Alli Streets.

Their economic and commercial octopus strength apparently constituting a major political threat to the ruling party in the state, the APC, Leader of the party and former governor of the state, Bola Tinubu, had reportedly upbraided the Igbo for grouping against the party at the polls. His wife, Remi, apparently couldn’t shroud her disdain for the ethnic group too. When she allegedly got to her polling unit on the day of the governorship election in the state, she had reportedly told a physically challenged voter who was identified as Charles Nnamani that the Igbos in Lagos failed to vote for Buhari and concluded, “we no dey trust una again.”

The animosity provoked by the APC in Lagos State had earlier received an indecorous icing from the Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akiolu. Sounding imperious and audacious, Akiolu was quoted to have warned Igbo in Lagos that the consequences of their not voting for Akinwunmi Ambode was a penalty of being thrown into the lagoon. By the time the 2019 election ended, the APC in Lagos had succeeded in widening the gulf of Igbo and Yoruba relationship by an immeasurable width.

Roll the tape backwards. The Western Region had become very tense. Violence ruled the airwaves. By this time, the National Council of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC) a dominant political party in the Western Region, had begun to attract the anger and disaffection of its parent body at the national level, a situation which made the Eastern Nigerian Premier, Dr. Michael I. Okpara, to embark on a campaign tour of the West. Convinced that the NCNC larger body could expel them for their cross-purpose roles in the Western Region Government, henchmen of the party in the West, like the Deputy Premier, Remi Fani-Kayode, Richard Akinjide and Bayo Olowofoyeku later formed the Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP), a political party which comprised the Western Nigerian Premier, Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola’s United Peoples Party(UPP), the rump of fragmented NCNC leaders earlier mentioned, together with the Northern Peoples Congress (NPC) of Sir Ahmadu Bello which was the ruling party, to form the Nigerian National Alliance (NNA). The rump of the Action Group (AG) that was left also went into an alliance with the NCNC, NEPU and UMBC, an alliance it called United Progressive Grand Alliance (UPGA).

The campaigns leading to the elections were acrimonious and vengeful, resulting in coalition labels earlier itemized, that is, UPGA and NNDP. While the UPGA denounced Premier Akintola for sheepishly following Gambari , (the North) Akintola upbraided the rump of Yoruba in UPGA for following yanminri. Expectedly, the NNDP ‘won’ the elections, but the AG and its UPGA also laid claim to having won the same elections. In the midst of all these, the Premier of the East, Okpara, from Enugu, dispatched a congratulatory letter to Alhaji D. S. Adegbenro, UPGA leader in the West, on the elections. Okpara, in the message, said that all that was left was for the people of the West to rally round Adegbenro and his colleagues “in order to resist any attempt to impose illegal and undemocratic regime on the people of Western Nigeria.”

Upon his being declared Premier, one of the things Akintola did was to deconstruct the UPGA alliance and paint the Igbo as having a disequilibrium advantage in the federal set-up, especially at the expense of the Yoruba. As such, the Sketch newspaper which he established on March 31, 1964, was sucked into the vortex of this advocacy. Akintola began a visceral campaign against the Igbos. Twisting the name of the Chairman of the Railway Corporation, Dr. Okechukwu Ikejiani, who was Igbo, to a Yoruba adaptation, so as to suit his pillory of the race, Akintola, reputed orator and very

OUR POSITION Curbing HIV/AIDS menace in Nigeria

deep in Yoruba morphology, was wont to ask his audience, “The first (Igboman) would have, the second (Igboman) would have; what have you got?” This was used by him to underscore the alleged nepotistic character of not only Dr. Ikejiani, but the Igbo man.

The other famed quotation of this famous language-rich Yoruba argot-dispenser was in the crisis of who became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Lagos between Professors Sabiru Biobaku and Eni Njoku. They were Yoruba and Igbo respectively. Playing on both professors’ names, Akintola was said to have told an audience that “we said we would give you a man who will not die (Yoruba translation of Biobaku), yet you insisted that it is the man who eats the dead (Yoruba literal translation of Eni Njoku) that you want!”

In support of the Akintola government’s bid to typecast the Igbo as nepotist and not worthy to partner with in the alliance, the battle became visible in the Sketch newspaper which, exactly six days into its existence, carried a letter from one Odafe Othihiwa in its Our readers’ view column that it entitled £11,000 for Ikejiani alone. It was the beginning of a long-lasting great structuring regime in the Sketch against both Ikejiani and his Ibo Union. Indeed, this was the first major battle the newspaper would undertake, on behalf of the piper that called its tune. In this letter, the writer alleged that “serious allegations of nepotism and tribalism had been leveled against the Chairman of the Nigerian Railway Corporation.” Even though the writer claimed that Ikejiani had explained his own side of the story, his reply could still “not be accepted by the general public.” The letter thus went further to state that, “It is strange to observe that while we cry over unemployment in this country, people like Dr. Ikejiani are holding at least five different posts on an alleged total salary of £11,000… I also call on the Prime Minister to probe the activities of Dr. Ikejiani and his right wingers in the Railway Corporation. It is no political bias.”

To profile a people as redolent with a particular characteristic is, to me, very naïve and intellectually limiting.

On a personal level, I have been a beneficiary of the best of Igbo hospitality and trinity of character. I remember that in June, 2003 when then Governor Chimaroke Nnamani offered me an appointment as his Special Assistant, my mother ostensibly variously visited theological diviners to help her dissuade her son from jumping into his own death. She had been told that it was a land of cannibals.

My employers offered me a leave of absence, sensing that I would soon be smoked out of a land whose language and people I knew seldom. My four years in Enugu eventually became the most enjoyable period of my life. On the day Nnamani promoted me Special Adviser and by that fact, a member of Enugu State Executive Council, thereby sacking his fellow kinsman, Osita Ugwuoti who was then Head of the Media Unit, my colleagues – Igbonekwu Ogazimorah, Ment Nnomeh, Dan Nwome carried me shoulder high.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. Their kinsman had just been removed from office and I – an ofe manu – who walked past several strange rivers before getting to their land, had just been appointed in his place, and they were jubilating!

Ugwuoti was later made commissioner. I became head of a very important component of a government very far away from my state of origin. Igbo staff under me were in their scores and never related to me on account of my ethnicity.

That day, I made up my mind to look for humanity in a man rather than his tribe or colour.

Until the advent of the colonial masters, Yorubaland was one huge ball of war, crises and intra-tribal skirmishes.

Ijebu and Egba, one of the most sophisticated on account of their closeness to the white overlords, looked down on the Yoruba Oyo and the Ekiti Yoruba as barely civilized.

They called them “the people from Oke – the hinterland.”

Indeed, the famous Yoruba attire, aso oke was to underscore the cloth worn by the backward but fashionable people of the hinterland! Yoruba Oyo too discountenanced the Lagos people’s turtle-dove pomposity. It was what was responsible for the labeling of Lagos people as Oni mo deon account of the mo de that pockmarked Lagosians’ variant of Yoruba. This was undoubtedly responsible for the hostility suffered by Chief Obafemi Awolowo and his AG when they made inroad into Ibadan. They were resisted by Adegoke Adelabu and his Ibadan Progressive Union.

Methinks the best route for Lagos and its reigning conquistadors is to acknowledge that the Igbo are becoming a major force in Lagos; Yorubaland in general too. A programme of assimilation, rather than hostility, will be the best path to tread. Democracy is a game of number and the Igbo apparently have the number in Lagos.

The Human Immune-deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has remained a global challenge for which there is no cure. In the three decades since the epidemic reached its height, 39 million people have died while 35 million people are living with the virus worldwide.

Most of the dead and infected are in subSaharan Africa or other low- and middle-income countries of the world. The social stigma remains, but medical advances have allowed people with the disease to live longer, healthier lives.

The first case of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria was reported in 1986. Since then, the number of people living with HIV or AIDS (PLWHA) has steadily increased with the epidemic moving into a ‘generalized’ state.

Data made available during the 2018 World AIDS Day had indicated that about 9.4 million were counselled and tested as regards HIV/AIDS in 2017, out of which 4.98 million were female and 4.031 male. It added that 239,542 persons tested positive (136,987 female and 102,555 male).

The report further revealed that only 18 percent of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria are aware of their status, an indication that there is still a 52 percent gap in advocacy. The HIV epidemic has further weakened and threatened to overwhelm the Nigerian health care system, increased the number of orphans and increased the cost of achieving set developmental goals by decreasing the size of the workforce, mainly adults in their most productive years of life (15-60 years).

The high manpower-intensive sectors of the economy are mostly affected including the agricultural, educational and health sectors as well as the rural economy. In summary, the impact of HIV/AIDS on Nigeria’s social fabric and on its economic development and well-being continue to be pervasive and, unless controlled, will continue to undermine the quality of life of Nigerians.

There is high commitment to fight HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, as evidenced by the initiation of the Presidential Council on AIDS, the National AIDS/ STD Control Programme (NASCP), and the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) which is a multi-sectoral agency including members from many government ministries and civil society.

At the state level, State Action Committees on AIDS (SACA) have been established, while at the local level there are Local Action Committees on AIDS (LACA). The mission of NACA is to provide an enabling policy environment and a stable ongoing facilitation of proactive multi-sectoral planning, coordinated implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all HIV/AIDS prevention and impact mitigation activities in Nigeria.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest challenges in the HIV response has remained unchanged in the past years. HIV disproportionally affects people in vulnerable populations that are often highly marginalized and stigmatized. Thus, most new HIV infections and deaths are seen in places where certain higher-risk groups remain unaware, underserved or neglected. About 75% of new HIV infections outside sub-Saharan Africa are in men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, people in prisons, sex workers, or transgender people, or the sexual partners of these individuals.

These are groups who are often discriminated against and excluded from health services.

The universal goal of HIV prevention and control is to reduce new infections to zero by 2030, but worries remain about gaps in the number of people receiving treatment in Nigeria.

With a population of about 9.4 million People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), an equivalent

to 10 percent of the global HIV burden, only an estimated 1,093,233 are on treatment. Several hundreds of others that qualify for treatment are left out.

In 2013, 22 percent or 51,000 of all new child HIV infections that occurred globally were recorded in Nigeria and findings also show that the nation is not progressing as expected with its Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission of HIV or PMTCT programme because thousands of HIV positive pregnant women that are not on treatment still transmit the virus to their babies during or after birth.

Nigerians appear to be resting on their oars with the false perception that HIV/AIDS no longer poses danger to our society. We must therefore re-jig our information strategy to encourage behaviour change for key affected populations and urge all pregnant women to get screened for HIV. We must also invest more on PMTCT. The message about HIV testing should be clear. Even with all the medical advances, it is essential to encourage HIV testing within the populace to ensure everyone knows their HIV status. We must address complaints by people living with HIV/AIDS about dwindling access to treatment and join efforts to get international donors to renew interest in the funding for the eradication of the scourge.

Tackling the HIV epidemic with so many people not on treatment would be an exercise in futility. Therefore, the way to go is to ensure antiretroviral treatment is available and accessible for all people living with HIV. Nigeria must also adhere strictly to the recommendation of the World Health Organisation (WHO) that everyone with a diagnosis of HIV should be placed on antiretroviral treatment as soon as possible, irrespective of viral load.

Re-run: Obi condemns rape of democracy in Kano Says what happened in Kano is license to violence

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Obi has described as a rape of democracy, the scandalous and brigandage witnessed in last Saturday’s supplementary governorship election in Kano state.

Obi said that what all democratic watchers saw in Kano state re-run election last Saturday, amounts to licensing the youth to engage in violence and setting a very dangerous precedent.

“We are now institutionalizing thuggery and rigging as a process of coming into power which is a very dangerous precedent for our country,” he said.

The vice presidential candidate said that proceeds in the name of results from what happened in Kano makes

the entire electoral process ridiculous and shameful.

According to a statement from his media office, Obi remarked that the police who mobilized top officers and men to Kano state to secure the state during the election and allowed political thugs to control the process, owe Nigerians and election observers a lot of explanations on what happened.

He also questioned the integrity of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for being quick to recognize and acknowledge election results from a process where machetes welding miscreants took charge of the process.

Obi warned that by what went on in Kano at the weekend, “we are dangerously bequeathing to this society, a trend that is bound to consume not only our youth, but the entire country.”

The former Anambra state governor

said that Nigeria further ridiculed herself and made the country a laughing stock for thinking that the kind of process witnessed in Kano at the weekend will produce leadership that can grow the state.

Obi described as regrettable, the unnecessary loss of quality heads in the general elections and mentioned in particular the killing of a professor in Benue state which he described as most painful.

“If India with over 800 million voters can conduct election without losing such caliber of people, if President Buhari and APC could come into power in 2015 without such senseless loss of lives, why should this be the case now?” he asked.

Obi finally prayed for the souls of the departed and fortitude for the relations and friends of those who lost their lives.

As the race for who becomes speaker of the House of Representatives in the 9th National Assembly hots up, a human rights and advocacy group, Coalition of South East Civil Society and Human Rights Organizations is drumming support for the candidacy of Rep. Nkeiruka Onyejeocha, who’s the only female in the race for the exalted position.

In a statement signed by Jasper Uche and Comrade Ibuchukwu Ezike, who are the conveners, the rights groups said the All Progressives Congress (APC) being a national party should consider geographical spread and gender balance in allotting political positions to deserving members in line with what the United States just did with the election of a female speaker, Nancy Pelosi.

Rep. Nkeiruka, according to the group is a “tested hand in legislative matters judging from her contributions in the last 12 years as a legislator in the green chamber with numerous legislative accomplishments which include, the Anti-Torture Act, 2017, Compulsory Treatment and Care for Gunshot Victims Act 2017 and the Local Government Autonomy Bill which was merged with the constitution amendment bills to mention but a few.”

The group which further described the lawmaker as “a woman of strong character,” adding that “she has to her credit a clean record in public office and her achievements as current House committee chairman on aviation speaks volume.

WHO tasks African leaders on accelerated efforts, funding to end TB Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja The World Health Organization (WHO) has called on African leaders to adopt policies and programmatic actions that will promote a multi-sectoral response as well as hasten the elimination of tuberculosis in Africa.

WHO Regional Director for Africa, Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, who made the call in her message to commemorate the 2019 World Tuberculosis (TB) Day with the theme: “It’s time” said, current levels of investment by governments towards TB care and prevention must be increased.

She said, even though the 2018 WHO Global Report had indicated that the disease burden caused by TB is falling globally, in all WHO regions, and in most countries, it is not fast enough to reach the first milestones of the End TB Strategy in 2020 To this end, Dr. Moeti said that the solution to end TB is to ensure that core TB control services are funded from domestic resources, thereby calling on regional governments to implement universal

health coverage to ensure quality assured preventative, diagnostic, treatment and TB care services.

“In the WHO African Region, declining cases of TB cases (4% per year) placed it second among all WHO regions over the period between 2013 and 2017. Also, particularly impressive reductions (4–8% per year) have occurred in southern Africa (e.g. Lesotho, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe), following a peak in the HIV epidemic and the expansion of TB and HIV prevention and care.

“To sustain these advances, current levels of investment by national governments towards TB care and prevention must be increased as they currently fall far short of levels required to end the epidemic by the end date of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

“Likewise, efforts must be made to identify and remove the challenges that are slowing down progress, as well as adopt and roll out the most cost-effective policy options and interventions.

“Building on the successes of the recent

past and fulfilling the commitments made by our political leaders, national governments need to adopt policy and programmatic actions to foster a multi-sectoral response to end the epidemic.

“Within the broader context of a revitalized Primary Health Care system, these measures should include initiatives to look for and effectively treat all existing cases, and scaling up preventive treatment for high-risk populations, especially people living with HIV and child contacts of known TB cases.

“To end the epidemic by 2030, we also need to ensure universal access to the WHO recommended rapid molecular tests as firstline tests for diagnosis for all presumptive TB cases, as well as to adopt the new WHO recommended drugs and drug combinations for treating drug-resistant TB,” she said.

She further reaffirmed WHO commitment to work with governments, other partners and communities to support actions towards ending the TB epidemic by 2030.

The theme of this year’s celebration of World TB Day is “It’s time.”

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress and board member, Edo state Oil and Gas Producing Areas Development Commission (EDSOGPADEC), Osamwonyi Evbaguehita Atu, on Monday commended the leadership style of the state Governor Godwin Obaseki.

He said his unique style of leadership was a prerequisite for candidates of the ruling party in winning the 24 seats in the just concluded state house of assembly elections.

Atu gave the commendation in Benin City, the Edo state capital.

However, the board member while congratulating three re-elected legislators, Patrick Aisowieren, Roland Asoro and Nosayaba Okunbor, said they should see their victories as a call to serve humanity and not to disappoint the electorate who voted for them.

He said their first tenure in office was fruitful with a lot of evidence to show and they must build on the solid foundations which they have laid.

“There is no doubt that you people have done so well in your first tenure in office. We are so proud of you but I want you people to build on the solid foundations that you people have laid down,” he said.

He further tasked them to put their wealth of legislative experiences to bear in order to complement the state governor’s efforts in repositioning the state.

Ekiti to implement laws protecting women’s rights Gbenga Sodeinde, Ado Ekiti Wife of the governor of Ekiti state, Erelu Bisi Fayemi, has disclosed that priority attention will be given to women’s welfare in her husband’s government.

The Ekiti state first lady said the era when women were maltreated was over in the state, declaring that all laws protecting women’s rights are now being implemented by his husband, Gov. Kayode Fayemi.

She said Ekiti has been recognized as a state that has the political will to safeguard the rights of the women due to the laws enacted by state government to give them a leverage in the society.

In the area of political appointments, she stated that Gov. Fayemi has been complying with the 1993 Beijing Declaration to inject the culture of gender equality into the state’s body polity.

The governor’s wife spoke in Ado Ekiti on Monday during an event commemorating the 2019 International Women’s Day. She said that the event ought to have been celebrated on March 8, but was postponed for coinciding with the governorship and House of Assembly elections.

APC rejects Benue, Sokoto results, heads to tribunal The Benue and Sokoto state chapters of the All Progressives Congress (APC) have rejected the outcome of the governorship supplementary election declared on Sunday, in favour of Govs Samuel Ortom and Aminu Tambuwal of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The two state chapters of the APC said in separate statements issued in Makurdi and Sokoto respectively, that the results as announced by INEC did not reflect the wishes of the people.

According to the Benue state APC in the statement signed by Prof. Eugene Aliegba, Secretary Jime/Ode Campaign Organisation, said that APC would challenge the results in court.

The statement declared that the outcome of the poll was “totally unacceptable to the APC.” It however, thanked those who voted for Jime and Sam Ode, the party’s governorship and deputy governorship candidates in the election.

“When we embarked on this journey many months ago, it was to translate to reality the dreams of a better future for our suffering people. We toured the entire state and made our case for wealth creation through agriculture, education reforms, infrastructure development and a welfare package for our senior citizens.

“But, even as the results declared did not appear to reflect the will of most of these same people, we call on our supporters to remain calm and law abiding as they had been throughout the campaigns and electioneering period.

They have our full assurance that as a party that believes in democracy, we will not accept a stolen election.”

“Going into this contest, we were well aware of the fact that only one of two outcomes was possible; either we win fairly in line with the massive support we earned from the people or another winner emerges through a credible and transparent process.

“We did not anticipate a third option that confers advantage to those who play dubiously outside the laid down rules of the game,” he said.

“We will make a case before the Elections Petitions Tribunal to subject the Benue governorship elections result to an integrity test. If we opt otherwise, we will be as guilty as those who undertake acts that undermine democracy.

“We have chosen to take action that insulates democracy from practices that threaten it,” the statement said.

Similarly, the APC in Sokoto state on Sunday rejected the declaration of Gov. Tambuwal as winner of the just-

concluded governorship election in the state.

Addressing a press conference in Sokoto, the APC’s spokesman, Alhaji Bello Danchadi, rejected the declaration on the ground that the process was flawed with irregularities, which he said were duly reported to the electoral body.

Danchadi said the margin of 342 votes was far less than the registered voters in polling units where elections were not held, a development which he said contravened the electoral law.

He said the party had also registered its complaints to INEC which included alleged outright rigging perpetrated by the PDP, alleging that some eligible voters at some polling centres were denied voting and in some places repeated voting’s were recorded.

“We draw the attention of INEC to a number of polling units that were canceled as result of violent attacks by thugs, while others were arbitrarily cancelled to please certain political party interests.

In view of these we deem it necessary to express our disagreement with the action taken by INEC to declare a winner without giving us a fair hearing in our position in the electoral processes,” he said.

Short News Police rescue 5-year-old girl kidnapped in Warri

Police operatives from the Force Headquarters, Abuja have rescued a five- year -old girl, Aisha Ibrahim, who was kidnapped on March 16 at Igbudu 1 Area, Warri, Delta state by unknown persons and taken to Nasarawa state.

Aisha was rescued unhurt by the police at BukanKwatu, Lafia, the Nasarawa state capital. She was reunited with her father, Ibrahim Abdulmalik of Gibori Street, Igbudu Market, Warri, Delta state on March 20 at the Force Headquarters, Abuja.

The obviously elated father exclaimed: “I thank God o. I thank police o. I have even lost hope, I just received a call I should come to force headquarters to collect my pikin (child).

Abdulmalik showered encomiums on the police for the intense follow-up which led to the quick rescue of his daughter who was kidnapped while returning from school on the said day.

Reps c’ttee gives CBN, others ultimatum over loan dispute Henry Omunu, Abuja The House of Representatives Committee on Public Petitions has issued a 7-day ultimatum to the Central Bank, First Bank and other parties to submit all relevant documents relating to the alleged forgery of N630 million loan documents between the Whiteplain British School, Abuja and First Bank.

Chairman of the House Committee, Rep. Uzoma Nkem Abonta, who issued the ultimatum, said that all parties to the loan dispute between the First Bank and the school’s management should avail the committee all necessary documents that will it unravel the truth behind the forgery claim made by the school in a petition to the House.

He stated that the House committee was forced to issue the order because the management of the apex bank, the First Bank and the administrator of Whiteplains British School failed to avail it with all the relevant loan documents during investigative hearing conducted by the committee.

Rep. Abonta said that the shutting down of the school because of the dispute over the loan repayment is harmful to the nation’s economy and also frowned at the appeal filed by the parties to the dispute at the courts, declaring that “l want all documents here, not to sit on appeal.”

According to him, there are several

suits with different suit numbers on the matter before the House committee.

In a petition dated November 26, 2018 and signed by the school’s administrator, Dr. Francis Nwufoh, the petitioner avowed that the First Bank used forged documents to seal the school over a loan it obtained from the bank even though the period of repayment was yet to expire.

The petitioner further claimed that First Bank staff who allegedly forged the loan documents being disputed stormed the school premises and started erecting fences at the school’s gate.

Testifying before the House committee, Mrs. Frances Lucius Ibeh, who said she sold the disputed land in which the school was built to Dr. Nwufoh, added that she endorsed the tripartite agreement entered into by the parties in respect of the loan.

She informed the House Committee that she will direct the solicitor that signed the loan agreement entered into by bank and the school owners to produce the original documents over the disputed land upon which the school is situated.

After extensive deliberations, committee resolved that all parties summoned at the next sitting of the investigative hearing should avail the committee of all necessary documents relating to the disputed loan in less than seven days.

Lawyers demand justice over alleged murder of NSCDC officer Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja Following the brutal killing of an Assistant Superintendent of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Ogah Jumbo by two traffic police officers last week at Nyanya, the Association of Idoma Lawyers have demanded for justice.

The association in a letter jointly signed by the Chief Godwin Obla (SAN) and Dr. J. Y. Musa (SAN), patron and president of the association respectively, the Idoma lawyers said that any attempt to cover up the case will be strongly resisted.

The lawyers queried the decision of the police to prosecute a case in which it was the accused. According to Obla, the decision of the police falls short of the objective parameters of justice delivery.

He added that even if the deceased officer was guilty of any traffic violation as alleged by his killers, it was not enough reason for him to be killed as the law stipulates a penalty of fine for such act.

“The association, consistent with its pursuit of objective parameters of justice delivery, wishes to strongly suggest and indicate its interest to be mutually involved in a post-mortem examination of the cause of death of the deceased.

“These indication and suggestion should not be understood to mean our lack of confidence in the police

to carry out a dispassionate work in this regard, but as stated above, only towards achieving the pursuit of the whole hog of objective parameters of justice delivery.

“Otherwise, in the event of any cover up or foot-dragging in the prosecution of this heinous and clear case of wanton culpable homicide, the association will spare no efforts at exploring the alternative prosecutorial route of direct criminal prosecution provided by the laws of the FCT. “This we shall not hesitate to undertake alongside an already contemplated civil action in humongous sums in hundreds of millions of naria in damages,” Obla added.

The association further expressed worry over the response of the police as postulated by the Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, who said at a press conference that the force was not responsible for the death of the NSCDC officer.

“While the force public relations officer can choose to interpret the demand of his job descriptions only from the narrow prism of protecting the image of the force at all cost and to any extent even at the expense of values of humanity and sanctity of life, however, to do so in the face of contrary hard facts of verifiable eyewitness accounts and video recordings of the incident, is counter-productive to the very ends of good image sought to be achieved by that officer,” he stated.

Can the president deploy the military during elections?

Mike Ozekhome The last two weeks saw us discussing the constitutionality or otherwise of the president deploying the military during elections. My humble intervention is that he cannot, should not and must not do so. Our rabidly partisan military cannot longer play the role of an unbiased umpire. They should stay within their constitutional roles, man borders, put down external aggressions and only come in to aid civil authorities and supress internal insurrection that overwhelms the normal Police Force. And this, usually happened when properly empowered and called upon soto do, under the Constitution. This involves deployment of Armed Forces as in Boko Haram insurgency, in which the NASS plays a critical role. Let’s now conclude this three part serial.

Under both Section 218(3) of the Constitution, and Section 8 (1-2) of the Armed Forces Act, the law is that the President shall have power to deploy the armed forces for operational use. It goes further to state that the President shall have power to delegate the power to deploy armed forces for operational use to either the Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Naval Staff and that of the Air Force Staff as the case may be. This provision is echoed mutatis mutandis, by Section 8(3) of the Armed Forces Act. Section 8 (3) of the Armed Forces Act, defines what is meant by the operational use of the armed forces. It includes provision of aid to civil power. It provides: In this section, “operational use of the Armed Forces” includes the operational use of the Armed Forces in Nigeria for the purpose of maintaining and securing public safety and public order.

The Court of Appeal in the case ofALL PROGRESSIVES CONGRESS v. PEOPLES DEMOCRATIC PARTY & ORS (Supra) in referring to Section 217 (2) (c) stated emphatically, that the President can indeed, deploy military to quell insurrection in accordance with the section, subject to the condition which MAY be prescribed by an Act the National Assembly. However, the Court, coram Aboki, JCA, made it clear that such deployment shall not cover the electoral process or the conduct of elections. Hear the intermediate court through Abdul Aboki, JCA: “Of course, Section 217(2) (c) is what the Armed Forces Act is all about and the provisions therein can further be enriched or amended by further Acts of the National Assembly. See Section 217 (2) of the 1999 Constitution, and Section 1 of the Armed Forces Act, which elaborates on the functions, command structure and activities of the Armed Forces.

None of the above mentioned functions has anything to do with Electoral process and the Conduct of elections in the Country to select political leaders, Even the item (2) (c) which talk about “suppression of insurrection and

Ozekhome acting in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by the president, appears to be applicable only in the event of insurrection, to restore order and, even then, the Military must be invited by the President, upon fulfilment of specified conditions, prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly. Thus, even the president of Nigeria has no powers to call out the Armed Forces and unleash them (Military Officers) on a peaceful citizenry who are exercising their franchise to elect their leaders. And even in the event of insurrection or insurgency, the call on the Armed Forces to aid civil authorities to restore order, must be with the approval of the National Assembly which must provide conditions as specified in Sections 217 (2) and 218 (4) of the 1999 Constitution, (as amended).”

What section 217 (2) (c) really provides for as can be seen from the provisions of the section above, is not necessarily that the President cannot deploy the military in aid of civil authorities, but that he cannot do so to terrorise peaceful citizenry exercising their franchise to elect their leaders.

Not only that, he can do so ONLYwhen an Act of the National Assembly so prescribes. For emphasis, the section is replicated below: (2) The Federation shall, subject to an Act of the National Assembly made in that behalf, equip and maintain the armed forces as may be considered adequate and effective for the purpose of (c) suppressing insurrection and acting in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by

the President, but subject to such conditions as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly First, Section 8 (1-2) of the Armed Forces Act which is an Act of the National Assembly, provides as follows: (1) The President shall determine the operational use of the Armed Forces, but may, under general or special directives, delegate his responsibility for the day-to-day operational use(a) of the Armed Forces, to the Chief of Defence Staff; (b) of the Army, to the Chief of Army Staff; (c) of the Navy, to the Chief of Naval Staff; and (d) of the Air Force, to the Chief of Air Staff.

(2) It shall be the duty of the Chief of Defence Staff, the Chief of Army Staff, the Chief of Naval Staff and the Chief of Air Staff, as the case may be, to comply with any directive given to them by the President under subsection (1) of this section.

As can be seen above, the President (or his delegates, ie, Armed Forces), surely has power (subject to conditions prescribed by the NASS),todeploy the military in aid of civil authorities under the Armed Forces Act, when called upon to do so, to quell insurrection. But, not for election purposes. This is moreso, since the word expressly used in theSection 217(2) (c) of the Constitution is “MAY”. It is trite law that the “may” is used in a statute, it conveys permissiveness and not mandatory. The Black’s Law Dictionary, Seventh Edition at page 993, states that, where the word ‘MAY’ is used in a legislation in its primary legal sense, it is permissive or discretionary.

In the case of EDEWOR V. UWEGBA & ORS.(1987) LPELR-1009(SC), the Supreme Court, defining the word “may”, held as follows: Generally the word ‘may’ always means ‘may’. It has long been settled that may is a permissive or enabling expression. In Messy v. Council of the Municipality of Yass (1922) 22 S.R.N.S.W. 494 per Cullen, C.J at pp.497, 498 it was held that the use of the word ‘may’ prima facie conveys that the authority which has power to do such an act has an option either to do it or not to do it. See also Cotton, L.J. in Re Daker, Michell v. Baker (1800) 44 CH.D 282.

Going by the above authorities, it is fervently submitted, that the phraseology employed by Section 217(2) of the Constitution, is to the effect that the President as Commander –In-Chief of the Armed Forces can only deploy such in “suppression of insurrection and acting in aid of civil authorities to restore order when called upon to do so by the President, but subject to such contributions as may be prescribed by an Act of the National Assembly”.

This section never gave the President powers to populate Nigerian streets with the military, especially the Army, as if they were the usual Police or Civil Defence Corps. The military have always been quarantined in their barracks, save when they go to war, or when called upon to the streets to suppress insurrection. To see Army personnel on the streets before and after the civil war was a rare

sight in those days. This was usually during peaceful street parades and processions to demonstrate their prowess. This was watched with awe by the populace, peeping through their windows. The Army would sing, march and gyrate along streets to the admiration and awe of the civilian populace. It is different from the present day Army that wrestles with politicians, unarmed civil protesters and opposition, right inside the mud and gutters. That demeans itand degrades its importance and rating.

CONCLUSION Sifting from my above analysis, my new belief, (as against my 2015 innocent opinion), is that taking cognisance of the partisan and highly politicised use of the military after the just concluded elections,the president CANNOT AND DOES NOTconstitutionally, legally and morally, have the power to deploy the military during elections for electoral purposes. His deployment of the military can only be to aid civil authorities, when called upon to do so; to nip in the bud, cases of insurrection;and to restore law and order.Their primary duty remains defending Nigeria’s territorial integrity, and securing Nigeria’s borders from violation, whether by land, sea and air. These are the exact words of section 217 of the Constitution.

Consequently, I end this three-part humble intervention with the conclusion that the military should never again be deployed, nor be found near, present at,or around polling booths or polling units during elections. These are functions and duties exclusively preserved for the usual Police Force and Civil Defence operatives. But, Military Personnel may be deployed to man all borders, whether air, land and sea, before, during and after elections, to prevent infiltration of aliens who may be imported by politicians to come and participate in our electoral process.

They should never be found on the streets terrorising voters who desire to exercise their civil obligation of voting for candidates of their choice. The ugly visibility of the military, especially the Army, during the last elections, as seen in numerous viral videos, aiding politicians and political thugs to decimate opponents, snatch ballot boxes, invade citizens’ homes and forcefully and partisanly preventing citizens from voting, and allowing preferred party representatives in to the collation centres to the exclusion of others, leave a sour taste in the mouth. These shameful acts cast us in the mould of uncivilised people, coming straight from the stone age of Earlycave man and Australopithecus. It must never repeat itself. We are not a banana Republic. We are supposed to be the biggest black democracy in the world. We must live up to expectation of best international practices in our electoral process.

We did it in 1993, when Nigerians beheld the freest, fairest, most credible and most transparent elections ever witnessed in Nigeria. Most of the other elections after that have been a sham, or at best, below average.

Seeking for divorce under the law for a mere cohabitation (Part 2) Dinne, Israel Chukwuemeka Esq. It remains the fact that a person must be legally married in order to obtain a divorce because even the law CANNOT give what it does not have - Nemo dat quod non habet. Living together and appearing to be married in the eyes of the public is not enough to confer married as a marital status on those involved. No marriage in Nigeria is (shall be) valid where either of the parties thereto at the time of the celebration of such marriage is married under customary law to any person other than the person with whom such marriage is had (this is not vitiated whether or not the other party here is aware of such previous customary marriage). Also a marriage is null and void if the parties to such marriage goes ahead to; (1) have the marriage celebrated in any place other than the office of a Registrar of marriage or a LICENSED place of worship, (2) celebrate the marriage under false name or names, (3) celebrate the marriage without a Registrar’s certificate of notice or license duly issued, (4) allow the marriage to be celebrated by a person not being a RECOGNISED Minister of SOME religious

denomination or body or a Registrar of marriages.

In addition to the above listed which are the provisions of the Marriage Act, is the provision of the Matrimonial Causes Act that in its section 3(1) (c) summarised a great deal the invalidity of a marriage and provided in part that ‘’...a marriage is not a valid marriage under the law of the place (Nigeria) where the marriage takes place, by reason of a failure to comply with the requirement of the law of that place...’’.

Before approaching the court for the determination or resolution of any issue in a marriage, there is a leeway granted by the law which aids to ascertain whether ‘’every wedding translates to a valid marriage’’. The Marriage Act in Section 30 provides that every marriage Registrar shall keep a Marriage Register Book wherein every certificate of marriage filed in his office in the proper form shall be registered accordingly as they come and that such book shall be indexed in such manner as is best suited for easy reference. It also graciously provided that ‘’the Registrar shall at all reasonable times allow searches to be made in the marriage register book, and shall give certified copies there-from upon payment of the prescribed fee’’.

Having in mind that our laws and the court which do

not forbid the dissolution of marriage will not sacrifice its resolve to dispense with matters that comes to the court as soon as possible and ensuring that in so doing justice is not denied, will also not hesitate to throw into its waste bin any frivolous, futile and unnecessary matter with heavy reprimand where necessary, including matters seeking for divorce where there is an invalid or no marriage in existence.

There is no doubt that as stated earlier, some persons in marriage may not say for sure if their marriage is indeed a legal and valid marriage as some even had to leave their place of residence, place of worship, had all the arrangements towards the marriage made by proxy, and sometimes abandon their believe just to have their marriages celebrated in a manner that measures up to their desired standard forgetting that every act or omission having a laid down procedure by the law has its consequence(s) where such procedure is complied with or otherwise flouted.

Assuming the procedure to celebrate a valid marriage is tedious and stringent, which obviously is not, Bongos Ikwue in his song ‘’Still Searching’’ rightly said NOTHING GOOD (legal) COMES EASY, THIS I KNOW’’, it will not be out of place for prospective

couples to conduct a search at the Marriage Registry, make due and proper enquiry about their partner as this may disclose if such a person is already a marriage partner to another person and also take up the responsibility of looking out for those things listed above which vitiates a marriage in the preparation leading to their wedding/marriage celebration. Even after the celebration, nothing stops one from going a step further in compliance with Section 30 of the Marriage Act to ensure that the certificate issued to them evidencing the marriage is not only filed but also filed in the proper form at the Marriage Registry.

We shall continue to remember that cohabitation which has been defined as living together and having a sexual relationship AS married means no more than that in the eyes of law, whether the persons involved are intimate, knows that they are cohabiting or not. To ensure that one is aware of the legal status of his or her ‘’marriage’’, the possible reaction(s) of the court in the event that divorce and other remedies pertaining to marriage are been sought, or their rights where such ‘’marriage’’ was not legally celebrated or properly recorded, a timely consultation with an experienced family law Attorney is invaluable.

Speaking during the decoration of Mr Oluwasegun Fatonade and Mr William Devine as captains at Air Peace Corporate Headquarters in Lagos, the carrier’s Chairman/Chief Executive Officer, Mr Allen Onyema said he was proud that they scaled the tough tests for donning the four-bar epaulette.

The rigorous requirements the new captains were subjected to, he insisted, were necessary to ensure they were qualified for the high quality of the airline’s flight operations.

He assured that Air Peace would continue to reward excellence as a prostaff organisation and ensure that its workers were promoted without regard to ethnicity and favouritism.

“I’m one of the happiest persons today.

I take pride in seeing people grow. We are pro-staff. In our own little way, we try to ensure that staff enjoy their time here. Anyone can become anything they want to be here without discrimination.

“I don’t meddle in matters involving selection and elevation of our flight crew.

It is strictly on merit. For the flight crew training team to have adjudged the new captains worthy of flying for Air Peace, they really must be good. It says a lot about its quality. The tough tests they passed through before being selected for elevation as captains were necessary to ensure the sustenance of the high standards of our flight operations.

“It’s not everyone that was tested that made it. I urge the new captains to continue to work hard to sustain the high quality of our flight operations. The position of a captain is one that comes with huge responsibility, but I have no doubt they will excel in their new roles,” Onyema said.

For his part, Air Peace Head of Training, Captain Ndubisi Ekwempu, who presented the new captains to Onyema for decoration, described them as hardworking and dedicated members of the flight crew.

Their elevation to the left seat, he said, was well deserved. He, however, urged Captains Fatonade and Devine not to rest on their oars.

He commended Air Peace chairman for giving the training team the liberty to do their job uninfluenced. Ekwempu praised the flight crew training team for working hard to produce the new captains.

How 32 entities stole over N1.3trn in four years - EFCC Motolani Oseni Not less than a whopping N1.3 trillion public funds were stolen by 32 entities (human and corporate) between 2011 and 2015, the Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) Ibrahim Magu on Monday revealed.

Magu made this disclosure while delivering a keynote address at the opening ceremony of the 2019 First Batch Conversion Training Programme to Procurement Cadre for Federal Parastatal and Agencies, organised by the Bureau of Public

Procurement (BPP) in Lagos.

The EFCC boss, who was represented by the Commission’s Secretary, Ola Olukoyede, decried the huge financial loss on the country.

According to him, “One third of this money, using world bank rates and cost, could have comfortably been used to construct well over 500km of roads; build close to 200 schools; educate about 4000 children from primary to tertiary levels at N25million per child; build 20,000 units of two-bedroom houses across the country and do even more.

“The cost of this grand theft, therefore,

is that these roads, schools and houses will never be built and these children will never have access to quality education because a few rapacious individuals had cornered for themselves what would have helped secure the lives of the future generations, thereby depriving them of quality education and healthcare, among others.”

He said the poor state of the procurement process in Nigeria was one of the major reasons why corruption has continued to thrive in government agencies and parastatals.

He identified some of the fraudulent practices in the procurement process in

Nigeria to include: kickbacks, conflict of interests, fraud in the bidding process, bid suppression, collusive bidding, bid rotation and market division.

Others, according to him, are: comingling of contracts, change order abuse, cost mischarging, defective pricing, false statement and claim, phantom vendors, product substitution, unnecessary purchases and purchases for personal use or resale.

Magu expressed confidence that Nigeria still has patriotic and credible individuals who would do all within their abilities to uphold the credibility and honesty required for leadership in public offices.

NASCON records N4.4bn profits in 2018 Temitope Adebayo The Management of NASCON Allied Industries (formerly National Salt Company), a member of the Dangote Group, has announced revenue of N25.8 billion and a Profit After Tax (PAT) of N4.4 billion, as at the close financial year ended December 31, 2018.

To this end, the shareholders will be paid a dividend payout of 100 kobo per share for every 50kobo share held.

Analysts have attributed the decline in revenue and profitability to the company’s idling vegetable oil and tomato plants for straight two years.

It has, however, been projected that the shareholders will gain a bumper harvest in the preceding year as latest reports say the company’s Kano-based tomato paste

plant has resumed operations. It would be recalled that Tomato paste has been idle for over two years owing to a supply disruption partly caused by a price dispute with farmers.

The 1,200 metric tons per day factory, meant to meet domestic demand, reportedly restarted production last week processing about 100 tons a day.

Abdulkareem Kaita, managing director of Dangote Farms Ltd, said the major challenge was the scarcity of tomato, because “the local tomato growers could not meet our production demand, we also could not agree with the farmers on the price of tomato per basket.”

Under a new deal with the farmers, the factory will buy tomatoes at prices pegged to what local markets are selling.

Dangote is also developing its own

farms with a special tomato strain that could yield 60 tons per hectare, compared with the yield of 10 tons per hectare being recorded by the local farmers, Kaita said. The company plans to distribute the seedlings to growers to boost their output.

A further breakdown showed that sale of salt remained its biggest business, contributing N20.761billion, down from N22.247billion in 2017, out of which N12.565billion was incurred in cost of sales, as against N11.62bn in the prior year, leaving segment profit of N8.195bn from N10.627 billion.

It was followed by freight income of N4.084bn, compared to the previous N3.858bn, incurring N4.442 billion costs in the process, resulting in a loss of N500.245 million, down from N583.36m a year earlier.

The seasoning segment was however better than freight business, contributing N924.167m income, N839.022 million cost that left segment profit at N85.145 million; which was a far cry from the profit of N125.732 million recorded in 2017 from a lower revenue of N765.295 million and N639.564 million sales cost.

The vegetable oil segment did not contribute to the top and bottom-line in 2018, unlike in 2017, when it contributed N192.904 million, but incurred N335.623 million as cost, resulting in an N142.719 million loss. Tomato paste did not, however, report any revenue for the year, and yet there was N32.84 million in cost and segment loss.

The lion’s share of the cost of sales for the year was the N10.66 billion for raw materials consumed, up from N10.148 billion.

IT experts fault banks on usage of Foreign Solutions Ladesope Ladelokun Information Communication experts have faulted Nigerian banks on the usage of Foreign Solutions.

This call was made in Lagos at a Stakeholders Roundtable on the Use of Nigerian Software in the Financial Sector themed Adoption and Development of Local Content Technology as Growth Drivers for the Nigerian Economy.

The roundtable was jointly organised by the Nigerian Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), National Office for Technology Acquisition and Promotion (NOTAP) and the Computer Warehouse Group (CWG).

According to former President of Institute of Software Practitioners of Nigeria (ISPON), Mr Chris Uwaje said development cannot be truly

actualised in Nigeria ICT sector if the financial sectors continue to patronise foreign software solutions.

Similarly, the minister of Science and Technology, Dr Ogbonnaya Onu has harped on the need to implement the Presidential Executive Order 5 (EO5).

He said that there is a need to implement the EO5, so as to improve local content in software applications in the country.

Onu said that the federal government was emphasising on local participation in the execution of government contracts, thereby improving local content in national socioeconomic development.

Also speaking, the Director at NOTAP, Dr Ephraim Okejiri also noted that Nigeria banking platforms cannot continue to rely on foreign software to drive its processes, because there are security and economic implications for such reliance.

Addressing the problem of low patronage, they propose that the federal government should come up with a policy that allows banks to provide some percentage of their earnings for the development of software in Nigeria.

While they called for a law to mandate banks to use local software, they, however, suggested that such policy should be given a timeline for implementation during which all parties would have sorted out all the issues relating to such law.

According to Emadoye, software is software and there was no special skill needed to provide core banking functions software, as Nigerian practitioners already processed such skills.

While shifting some grounds on the position taken by the Nigerian software producers, Soladoye said while there would be need in the future for banks to embrace Nigerian software to run its core banking functions, any attempt to put a timeline for such adoption

would be counterproductive, as the banks have shareholders to report to in their value-chain decisions.

One common agreement reached by stakeholders was the need for the stipulation of a common standard for software, the need for more funding of the Nigerian software ecosystem and greater collaboration by the practitioners, the users and the government.

On his part, the Assistant General Manager, Access Bank, Mr Toye Soladoye noted that said that local software made in Nigeria would not, for now, be able to meet the needs of banks core processing systems.

Soladoye had also said that, while Nigerian software may be able to meet the front end, middle end, data layer and multi-channel layers of financial services software needs, the core system, is an area where the banks are not yet confident to use local software because it is the ‘ heart of the banking system’.

Michael Imoudu lnstitute partners stakeholders on harmonious labour relations

Director Human Resource management, Ajibola Ibrahim, delivering key note address during the workshop on report rendition on the application of unratified international Labour Organization (ILO) Conventions and Recommendations in Abuja

NLC solidarises with Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Madagascar workers Stories: Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) has expressed its deeply felt grief and commiseration with the workers and people of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Madagascar affected by the horrendous landfall of Cyclone Idai.

In a statement signed by its Acting President, Comrade Najeem Yasin, the congress lamented the level of death and destruction caused by the climatic and environmental disaster.

However, the NLC called on all governments in Africa and beyond to be alive to the challenge posed by Climate Change especially with regards to making provisions for climatic early warning systems and robust architecture of rescue initiatives cum resources to deal with disasters of this

nature.

“It is really tragic that this climatic and environmental disaster has left in its wake death in hundreds, thousands of displaced persons and largescale destruction and disruptions of public infrastructure, social facilities, property and livelihood.

“In Beira, the second largest city in Mozambique, Cyclone Idai left its most devastating footprints as it is estimated that nearly 90% of the city has been destroyed. Similar waves of destruction impacted other cities and communities in different parts of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Madagascar where Cyclone Idai bared its monstrous fangs.

“We wish to commend the resilience of those in the affected communities. We salute the efforts of the governments of Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Madagascar in

scrambling rescue resources it could avail as a first line response to the victims.

“We also appreciate the intervention of multilateral institutions and aid organizations both local and international for coming to the rescue of the people of Southern Africa hit by this calamitous disaster.

“As devastating and painful as Cyclone Idai is, it affords all of us a moment of quiet reflection.

Climate Change is real! We can only mitigate and adapt to its realities.” He said Furthermore, the Congress also prayed for the repose of the souls of those that died. “We ask that God will grant fortitude to bereaved families, give strength to those whose loved ones are still missing or injured and imbue resilience in those experiencing great discomfort as occasioned by this natural disaster.”

The Director-General, Michael lmoudu National lnstitute for Labour Studies (MlNILS), llorin, Mr Saliu lsiaq-Alabi, has disclosed the institute’s willingness to partner with relevant stakeholders all in a bid to ensure harmonious labour relations between employers and employees. lsiaq-Alabi, gave the hint in a speech delivered in llorin at the inaugural induction for 37 new associates of the institution.

The DG said the institute would collaborate with the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, Office of Head of Service of the Federation and labour leaders toward attaining efficient and effective labour relations.

He therefore, mentioned the need for labour leaders, employers of labour and other stakeholders in the labour industry to acquire proficiency certificates in labour relations as a way of ensuring better labour relations.

Isiaq-Alabi advised the new associates to fully utilise the knowledge they acquired to impact positively and offer implementable solutions to industrial and labour relations challenges.

In his part, the Head, Department of Industrial Relations and Personnel Management, University of llorin, Dr Johnson Adeoti, in his

lecture, called on stakeholders in the labour industry to always employ flexible approach on labour issues, which he identified as the only way to achieve a conducive working relationship between the employees and employers.

Also, the Treasurer, Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Kwara chapter, Mr David Ehindero, lauded the efforts of the labour in their agitations and logical conclusion on N30, 000 as the national minimum wage.

Also, Dr Syllabus Adam’ade, Head of Department, Academic Distance Learning Programme, said the programme undergone by the new associates was recognised by the office of the Head of Service of the Federation.

Adam’ade advised them to utilise the acquired knowledge for better working relationship in their various organisations.

Responding, Mrs Olufunmilayo Oluremi, the Class Governor of the new associates, thanked management of the institute for knowledge they acquired.

Oluremi, on behalf of others, promised that the inductees would utilise the knowledge for better labour relations.

The 37 new associates who undergone the three months training at the institute were drawn from various fields of human endeavours across Nigeria.

At last LASPOTECH workers, HOS C’ttee move to resolve 2-month-old strike Finally, the striking Non-Academic Staff Unions of the Lagos State Polytechnic (LASPOTECH), Ikorodu and the Lagos State Head of Service (HOS) Committee has agreed to return to a table discussion which may bring an end to the lingering crisis in the institution.

According to the Chairman, Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Polytechnics (SSANIP), Mr Abiodun Awoyemi, although the reason for the Tuesday meeting was yet to be disclosed, he expressed the unions’ readiness to honour the invitation sent to them by the HOS .

“An invite was sent to the

unions by the HOS to meet with the committee tomorrow but we do not know why we were invited.

“Although the unions had met with the HOS committee earlier and was directed to submit documents to serve as evidence to the allegations levied against the management; which we did.

“We are not also aware if the management would be there,’’ he said.

The chairman said that the National body of SSANIP at its 59th National Executive Committee (NEC) and General Executive Committee (GEC) quarterly meeting which ended

on Friday addressed the lingering issue still affecting LASPOTECH in a communique.

“The union in its communique urged that the polytechnic’s management to revert the demigration of its workers’ salary structure to status quo.

“It also requested that the Lagos State Government urgently intervene to resolve the crisis that has bedevilled the institution in the last three months,’’ Awoyemi said.

Members of NASUP and SSANIP, LASPOTECH Chapter had since Jan. 21 embarked on continuous protests and indefinite strike to demand for

the reversal of an alleged demigration of their salary structure by the institution’s management.

The unions had on daily basis been marching round the campus in their hundreds chanting solidarity songs and carrying placards with inscriptions as: No To De-Migration; No To Strangulation of Unions.

Major offices in the institution were also shut.

They unions said the strike was to demand a reversal of the demigration of the Polytechnic’s workers’ salary structure from the CONTISS 15 Migration by the Polytechnic’s Rector against the Deputy Governor’s

pronouncement and Court’s directive.

The Polytechnic’s management, however, said it did not demigrate its staff as claimed but was only correcting a realignment of the salary structure as directed by the state government.

The management said the need for the alignment arose because the management of the Polytechnic was forced by the unions to implement the migration in 2016, while the document presented for implementation as later discovered, did not emanate from National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).

AFCON: Gernot Rohr urged to decide on Super Eagles preferred tactical formation before tourney Waidi Akanni, an exinternational, has advised the Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, to decide on what tactical formation best suits the team ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Akanni told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday that a notable style of play was needed in order for the team to perform well at the AFCON tournament.

NAN reports that the Super Eagles beat the Pirates of Seychelles on Friday at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba in their final qualification match for the 2019 AFCON. “The coach has to show us his formation. In all what he has been doing, I honestly have not seen the formation he is playing. We have to have a formation.

“We should have a recognisable style of play. If we don’t have a style of play going to the Nations Cup proper in Egypt, it will be very difficult for the Super Eagles when they meet tougher opponents,” the former Super Eagles defender said.

Akanni said with the calibre of players at Rohr’s disposal, he should by now be known for a particular style of play.

“He needs a good combination of players. The coach needs to let us know if he is playing 4-4-2, 4-3-3 or 3-5-2.

“We now know the core of players available to him. We should therefore know his tactical formation based on the players we have.

“Rohr has to show us that he has a style of play, which, for now I can’t see in the team,” he said.

The Super Eagles ended the qualifiers as Group E leaders with 13 points, having won four games, lost one and drawn one.

A first half penalty kick by Odion Ighalo and two second half goals from Henry Onyekuru and Moses Simon gave Nigeria a routine 3-1 victory over Seychelles on Friday.

The victory cemented the Super Eagles’ top-place finish from their group, having already qualified for the continental showpiece slated for June in Egypt.

However, Akanni was not so impressed with the performance of the national team, especially in the first half.

“It was an average game by all standards. The first half was below par, but the Super Eagles brought some momentum into the game in the second half.

“More important was the fact that they were able to find a way to score those two goals in the second half.

Football is a game of goals and a team can only be taken seriously when they

score goals.

“So, it was okay that they got three goals,” he said.

Rohr had invited some new players for the Seychelles match, including former Flying Eagles defender Valentine Ozonwafor, former FIFA U-17 World Cup winner Victor Osimhen and Denmark-based forward Paul Onuachu.

Akanni said although the new players have to be gradually integrated into the senior national team, the coach should have handed them a start against Seychelles.

“I would have expected the coach to start the new players by resting Ighalo, Etebo, Ndidi and some of the other familiar players in his starting line-up.

“But, somehow, I understand that he wanted to win the game first. So, he didn’t want to take too much risk.

“The fact is that when you want to test new players, especially in a game of little significance like this, you have to give them good game time.

“I believe Rohr should have taken the risk of starting many of the new guys,” the former Lagos State Football Association chairman said.

The Super Eagles will face the Pharaohs of Egypt in an international friendly on Tuesday at the Stephen Keshi Stadium in Asaba.
