Tribunal didn’t reject server inspection request, Atiku replies Presidency Continued from page 1 ‘rejected’ the request by Atiku and the PDP to compel the Independent National Electoral Commission to grant access to its server used for the 2019 presidential election.

Atiku’s media adviser, Paul Ibe, in a statement titled: “He who laughs last, laughs best,” said “after praising the so-called landmark ruling, the existence of a purported server is being contested and if a purported inspection had been allowed at this stage, it would have amounted to the determination that it indeed existed even when its existence is being contested.”

“Our response is to plead vindication of our case that not only did Atiku Abubakar win the February 23, 2019 election, but that the administration of General Muhammadu Buhari lacks executive temperament and capacity as we will now establish.

“Let us educate the spokespersons of President Muhammadu Buhari on what yesterday’s (Monday’s) judgment actually says. The request by Atiku Abubakar and the Peoples Democratic Party to inspect the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission was not rejected.

“What the honourable Tribunal said is that it is still at preliminary stages and the main case HAS NOT begun and that the matter of granting access

to inspect the INEC server is not relevant to the preliminary stages. It is a matter to be adjudicated upon when the case proper is being heard.

“As such, the celebration by the administration of General Buhari that their electoral heist has been covered is premature.

Their giddiness has even blinded them to the eye witness testimony given to multiple media in interviews by staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission that there is indeed a server and that they actually submitted results and accreditation through it.”

He said in its rush to claim a Pyrrhic victory, the Buhari administration missed out the fact that the 2019 budget has multiple line items for procurement, maintenance and service of the server it claim does not exist.

The PDP candidate further stated that the statement by Garba Shehu tried to spin the recent verdict on the election passed by the EU election observers.

“For the avoidance of doubt, what the EU report said is that the 2019 elections had significant defects and fell short of the 2019 elections. It should be noted that one of the issues they raised is the attempt to muzzle not just the media, but more importantly, the judiciary.

“In the light of this, we remind those who are gloating in their ignorance that ‘he who laughs last, laughs best’.

“The last has not been heard of this matter and we eagerly

anticipate the actual ruling of the Tribunal when the case proper begins,” said Atiku.

Meanwhile, the Vice Presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) in February 23 Presidential election, Mr. Peter Obi. has reacted to Monday`s Presidential Election tribunal’s rejection of PDP legal team request to inspect the server of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, describing the commission’s behaviour as unfortunate.

Obi, who was in court on Monday, told journalists that he has always respected the ruling of courts even where it’s not favourable, but find it shocking that in this day and age, INEC that is supposed to be an independent umpire of an election, will argue against subjecting itself to scrutiny.

He said ordinary referees in a football match subject themselves to Video Assisted Referee (VAR) and even go further to visit it to enable them make more informed decisions.

Obi noted that with the development, it would be extremely difficult for INEC to convince any discerning mind that it set out to conduct a free and fair poll when it takes strange positions that clearly show otherwise to critical members of the public.

The former governor of Anambra State said the situation is particularly more worrisome that it is coming at a time most of the international bodies that monitored the election are giving it low mark.

Rivers Govt won’t permit proliferation of vigilante groups, says Gov Wike Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State has declared that the state government would not permit the proliferation of vigilante groups in the state.

He stated that youths interested in helping to build the state’s security architecture should join the State Neighbourhood Safety Corps Agency.

This is as traditional rulers of Ahoada East and Ahoada West Local Government areas submitted arms retrieved from repentant criminals in the area, after a local amnesty programme.

Speaking at a brief ceremony on Port Harcourt on Tuesday, where he received the Ekpeye traditional rulers from Ahoada East and Ahoada West Local Government areas, Wike said that the decision became necessary after OSPAC - another security outfit in the state from Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area, started overstepping their boundaries.

He said: “I am being very careful about vigilante groups in all the local government areas because of what OSPAC is doing. They are now going beyond their boundaries.

“We will reintegrate OSPAC into the State Neighbourhood Safety Corps Agency. Anyone who wants to support the security structure should join

the State Neighbourhood Safety Corps Agency. We will not approve local vigilante for different local government areas,” he warned.

He said that some suspected criminals might pretend to have repented, only for them to renege after re-arming themselves.

Gov. Wike said that the state government would no longer operate an amnesty programme, since many of the criminals reneged during the first exercise.

He said: “We granted amnesty in the past and some boys went back to crime. For now, we are doing what is called binding over. If they renege, the law will take its course. When the court binds you over, it will be difficult for you to renege.”

While saying that the security agencies are determined to fight crime across the state, Governor Wike commended the traditional rulers of Ekpeye land and Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly, Ehie Edison, for taking proactive action to improve security.

The governor said the state government would reward the divisional police officers of Ahoada East and West and the Joint Task Force Commander in the area, Major Nwachukwu, for their roles in promoting peace and security.

Earlier, Eze Igbu Upkata, Dr. Felix Otuwarikpo, said traditional rulers from Ahoada East and West Local Government areas worked with the security agencies to ensure

that peace returned to Ekpeye land.

He said that the Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Ehie Edison, supported the peace process which included confidence building and the return of arms by repented criminals.

He said that 113 former cultists have repented and they turned in their arms, noting that a cultist known as VIP and his group would also surrender on Friday.

Eze Igbu Upkata, Dr. Otuwarikpo, urged the Rivers State government to take steps to ensure that the boys didn’t return to their criminal ways.

The traditional ruler praised the Divisional Police Officers of Ahoada East and West and the JTF Commander for their commitment to peace in the area.

He said that the Ekpeye Traditional Rulers organised a local amnesty programme, wherein all repentant criminals were taken to the ancestral home of Ekpeye land for Traditional Oath taking. He said anyone who went against the oath would face dire consequences.

Gov. Wike and the service commanders later inspected the arms surrendered by the repentant criminals.

Deputy Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Ehie Edison, commended the peace initiative of the governor, saying that Ekpeye people appreciate the developmental efforts of the governor.

Why Buhari’s ministerial list is delayed – SGF Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, has revealed the reasons President Muhammadu Buhari has not announced his cabinet ministers for his second term administration.

The SGF assured that the issue of the cabinet is very much on the mind of the president, adding that Buhari has reflected over it and it will be placed before the National Assembly as quickly as possible.

Mustapha disclosed this in an interview with our correspondent at the just concluded 26th Annual Meetings of the Africa ExportImport (Afreximbank) 2019 in Moscow, Russia.

He said that going to

the Next Level, the Buhari administration would focus more on the desired effect of achieving tangible result in the fight against corruption, revamping the economy and securing the country.

Explaining the reason for the delay in announcing the cabinet, the SGF said: “Our system is unique unlike others; we have an executive system where your membership of a parliament denies you of the opportunity of being the minister unless you resign from parliament to become a minister.

“The president is working on his list or must have concluded and he mentioned it in his democracy day broadcast that he is going to assemble competent Nigerians that will help him implement his programmes.

“Mr. President was

Mustapha

inaugurated on May 29, we had the democracy day celebration. It was a choked up programme as we had to

No jumbo pay for lawmakers, reveals Lawan Says he receives N750, 000 monthly

Tunde Opalana, Abuja

The President of the Senate, Dr. Ahmad Lawan, has debunked rumour of lawmakers in the National Assembly receiving jumbo pay.

He went ahead to reveal that as a Senator, he receive a monthly salary of N750,000 like other senators.

He made the disclosure on Tuesday while playing host to members of the Senators’ Forum that paid him courtesy visit in his office.

Lawan said: “What I want to emphasise here is that I never believed that that there is anything called jumbo pay to the National Assembly.

“The National Assembly members both the Senate and the House receive what is their

salaries and I receive N750, 000 as my salary. But, I need to function as a senator, my office needs to be properly funded,” he said.

The Senate President said the ninth National Assembly will be as open as possible in running of its affairs.

“National Assembly is going to be open to the public. I believe that the National Assembly should have everything open, let Nigerians Know what we are doing.

“I believe that Nigerians need to understand this. We need to continually engage with Nigerians and I will also argue that we continue to explain to Nigerians.

They deserve to know how their resources are being utilised.

“I believe that the National Assembly needs proper funding because the legislature is so critical in any national development,’’ said

Lawan.

He promised rancour free Senate under his leadership and assured his colleagues that all senators will be adequately involved in the internal workings of the red chamber without political party separation.

He stated that “I have witnessed how rancour undermined national development. I also witnessed a very peaceful and cordial relationship that at the end of the day produce the kind of outcomes that Nigerian desire.

“So we are here to follow the part of peace, but we are going to be very serious and systematic in our oversight.

“A minister or head of organisation that is expected to function must function,” he said.

He as well promised Nigerians of a return to the January to

December budget cycle, stressing that senators in the ninth Senate will work together to achieve this for the betterment of the nation’s economy “We know the challenges and we will work hard to ensure that we get the solution.

“This Senate is determined to ensure for example we pass the budget in three months and we believe this is achievable and doable. All we require is for the executive to provide the appropriation bill in good time, may be at the end of September or early week of September.

“The National Assembly will sit to ensure that there is defence of the budget by the MDAs and before we leave for Christmas, we will ensure that the budget is passed, so that we go back the January to December budget cycle,’’ he said.

South West governors restate call for state police Benjamin Omoike, Lagos Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Tuesday, joined his counterparts in the South West to renew the call for the creation of state police as one of the major steps to stem the growing tide of insecurity in the region.

Gov. Sanwo-Olu, alongside governors of Ogun, Oyo, Osun, Ondo and Ekiti states, converged on Ibadan for a stakeholders’ security summit on Tuesday with a resolve to end what they described as unholy invasion of the region by armed bandits suspected to be from other tribes in the country, thereby causing security breach and creating unnecessary tension in the relatively peaceful zone.

The governors of the six states in the region unanimously agreed

to the creation of state police so as to confront the challenge head on, listing the benefits inherent in having it.

In his speech, Gov. SanwoOlu suggested that advocacy be introduced while state police be considered to compliment the effort of the federal police in all states of the federation.

“State police is the way to go. This would give the chief security officers in each of the states the opportunity to direct their affairs and make them accountable, instead of waiting for federal directives before major actions could be taken on incidents of banditry, cultism and other heinous crimes.

“Controlling one’s police at the state level would help us achieve unhindered and accelerated response to any criminal activities recorded within our communities,” he said.

According to him, the importance of security in human existence cannot be underestimated which means security is paramount to the existence of all human beings and no meaningful development can be recorded in the absence of security.

Sanwo-Olu urged all states governors in the zone and stakeholders alike to put all machinery in motion to find a permanent solution to the security lapses, adding that “we should all speak with one voice and remove politics so as to put a permanent stop to the incessant incursions on our land”.

The governor maintained that no developmental strides could be achieved in the absence of security, just as he commended the efforts of the DAWN Commission for the laudable programme.

“The issue discussed here today coincides with the deliberations of

the governors during a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari and at the Nigerian Governors Forum held last week in Abuja,” the governor added.

He, however, suggested deep and consistent advocacy amongst the people even as he called on people from the region to live together and embrace unity as a way to sustain security and curb invasion.

Also earlier, the Chairman, South West Governors Forum, Rotimi Akeredolu, while declaring open the summit, reiterated that protection of lives of residents and people of South West is paramount to all the governors, hence their support for the creation of DAWN Commission.

He said the meeting was the commission’s effort at creating engagement and discourse for finding a lasting solution to the security challenges in the south west.

the National Assembly if their leadership does not emerge from your party.

“So far, we have part of the leadership that has emerged and the other part will emerge properly after they return from their recess”.

He further attributed the delay by the president in announcing the ministerial appointees to the two weeks recess embarked upon by the members of the National Assembly.

“They are reconvening on the 2nd of July; it is when they reconvene that we expect they will finish other complements of their leadership.

“You have the speaker, deputy speaker, Senate and deputy senate president, that is basically all you have for now.

“But there are other key officers. In the introduction of an executive bill, you don’t go directly to the Senate president.

You write to the Senate president but it is the majority leader who represents the party in the Senate that has the responsibility of introducing what they have received after the Senate president has read out his correspondence which he has received from the president.

“But it is the responsibility of the majority leader to prepare the ministries to be for the purposes of screening.

“So even the leadership of the National Assembly is not fully in place but I believe that by the time they reconvene, they should be able to finish all those arrangements and then they will be set and ready to receive Mr. President’s list,” he added.

The Secretary to the Government of the Federation expressed confidence that within the month of July, “he (President Buhari) will submit the list and it is now up to the Senate to do the needful to conclude that exercise.”

Mustapha said: “That is why I keep emphasising that if you have a very good leadership in the National Assembly, these things can be finished in a period of a week or two. They will dedicate time to screen the ministries, those that they find competent and qualified.

“I am expecting that by the time he submits in July, probably by the end of July we should have a clean list coming from the National Assembly particularly the Senate”.

The SGF further assured that “the President is resolved and he is doing his best and by the time he puts his next cabinet in place, they will be men of resource, they will be men ably qualified to be able to help in dealing with these fundamentals”.

Allow true federalism to stand, Afenifere tells Buhari I punished Onnoghen for wrong declaration of assets – President

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Pan Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has called on President Muhammadu Buhari to allow true federalism to take a stand in the present scheme of governance.

The socio-cultural group said that one of the true ways of strengthening the unity of the country would be to allow the implementation of a true federal state - where there is equality for all.

Afenifere made the appeal on Tuesday when they visited the President at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The delegation led by Pa Ayo Fasanmi and the National Leader of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Bola Ahmed Tinubu, said: “On federalism, we seriously recommend clinging to the spirit and letters of our Federal Constitution. This is one sure way of achieving the desired goal of unity even in diversity, mutual respect, tolerance and giving true meaning to the opening phrase of our Constitution that is, “we the people”.

“We will be a greater nation if we sincerely practice true federalism and think and act as Nigerians rather than as champions of the smaller units we were born into. Our big size is an asset worthy of preservation.

Good examples of big size, hard work and prudent spending are the USA, China and India. It is not with violence or hate speeches but with mutual trust, selfrespect and tolerance that we will speedily achieve the lofty destiny of this great country, Nigeria”.

Tasking the President on the need to step up mechanism for addressing security challenges, they advised Buhari to improve on the apparent shortage of the manpower in the Nigeria Police Force and by extending control of the Police from the State to Local Government level.

“By this, we humbly suggest that Mr. President should reflect deeply and consider recruitment, training, equipment and deployment of Nigerian Police on the basis of 774 Local Governments listed in the First Schedule of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of

Nigeria,” the Group told the President in plain words.

As a way of proffering solution to the challenge, Senator Olabiyi Durojaiye, who formed part of the delegation, said the newly elected governors from the South West extraction have mapped out strategies to help in eradicating kidnapping and other crimes such as banditry.

Durojaiye said: “Mr. President Sir, please permit me one more observation on the issue of security. In apparent desire to supplement your efforts, the newly elected Governors of Western Nigeria extraction, have this very day, Tuesday the 25th June 2019, held a meeting in Ibadan to map out strategies to eradicate kidnapping and violent attacks. They and other states will surely need more financial subvention and support”.

Afenifere also told the President that they were appreciative of the idea to declare June 12 as national democracy day, adding that the naming of the National Stadium in Abuja after Chief MKO Abiola, was the icing on the cake for the Yoruba nation.

Meanwhile, President Buhari has opened up on the reasons behind his suspension of the former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, hinging it on huge funds traced to his account which he failed to give detailed explanation.

Onnoghen, who recently turned up his resignation letter which was not accepted by the presidency until May 28, just a day to the President’s second term inauguration, was succeeded by Justice Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed.

Buhari, who was speaking on his modest efforts at curbing corruption in the country, said Onnoghen had no justification sitting in judgement of other accused persons when he could not account for funds under his coffers.

“I will tell you as Afenifere, that was why I had to deal though reluctantly with the former Chief Justice of Nigeria because there were millions of dollars, euros, not to talk of naira which were not declared.

“I wonder what sort of conscience some of us have, how can you seat and preside

Buhari and lock people up for years and even sentence some to death and yet you are not doing what the Constitution said you should do by occupying that vital institution.

“So, I stopped getting worried so much, sorry to admit it when I found out that could play hoop, stop and jump, what I mean is that if it is America they will do it this way, if it were in Europe they will do it this way, but if you go there after 250 to 400 years, how old are we? So I realised that I don’t want to go back into detention again.

“So institution like yours when you have secured your constituency constitutionally and materially you can help establish this country. And really this country needs you and you need this country with the future generation because of the population explosion we are going through and the limited resources and the deficits of infrastructure,” the President said.

Rather than providing direct answers to the request for true federalism, Buhari reminded his guests that he campaigned on security, economy and anticorruption which earned him victory in 2015.

He said these areas he based his policies are basic because “we cannot secure our country or an institution unless we secure it”.

His words: “What was happening in the north east and is still happening to some degree in the north central or the south west, is true that we have made some progress but there are still some problems and those

problems we are trying to solve them within our physical and material resources.

“On the economy, we are very lucky that majority or the bigger part of the country in the north, where there is concentration of young and educated able bodied persons with nothing to do, is to go encourage agriculture. That we did by providing inputs, fertilizers at half the price than it used to be”.

Tinubu, who later fielded questions from State House correspondents, said they merely came to thank the President and congratulate him on the reelection as well as the first step on the security of the country to really see a way out to stem any speech of hate; intolerance across the nation and look at the problem of security holistically and from the grassroots level.

He re-echoed the advice they gave the President on policing the country and how he should tilt his administrative policies going forward.

“The next level is broad. You have economic progress that we are working for as a party; we have the diversity of the economy itself; we have the various scale of thinking that the economic council will have to bring about; the infrastructural deficit; poverty, security; those are the things that we will put emphasis on; you know it; I know it; there is infrastructural deficit across the country and without infrastructure, you cannot galvanise the economy; you have the question of electricity that is critical to industrialization and economic growth,” the APC National Leader said.

Don’t compromise state legislature, judiciary autonomy, Buhari charges Govs Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has advised state governments not to compromised the autonomy given to state legislature and judiciary.

The President said that efforts to ensure autonomy for state legislatures and judiciary would further strengthen democracy and deepen inclusiveness of citizens by guaranteeing fairness for ordinary Nigerians.

Buhari gave the advise on Tuesday when he received the Report of the Presidential Implementation Committee on Financial Autonomy of State Legislature and

Judiciary.

He said that the government will study the report and recommendations, and take an appropriate decision.

“I went through a terrible time getting here for the three times I contested elections.

That’s why I want to stabilise the system so that others will not pass through the same experience.

“Both young and ordinary Nigerians depend on leadership to ensure justice is always done. So we must ensure that trust is not compromised. This administration will take the report seriously,’’ he added.

In his remark, the Chairman of the Committee, immediate past Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the

Federation, Abubakar Malami, said implementation of the recommendations will entrench constitutionalism, democratic principles and separation of powers.

“The recommendations clearly spell out that if uniform modules for implementation of financial autonomy for state legislature and state judiciary are approved for implementation across 36 states, it will no doubt strengthen Nigeria’s democratic principles, practices and public governance,’’ he said.

Malami added that the committee had observed that most states honoured the constitutional provisions for financial autonomy in the breach, than in observance, noting that the legislature and

judiciary remain the last hope of the common man and should be given autonomy.

He said the committee consulted with state governors, Chief Judges of states, Speakers of State Houses of Assembly, Civil Society Organizations and relevant stakeholders, including members of the public.

The Presidential Implementation Committee on Financial Autonomy of State Legislature and State Judiciary was inaugurated by President Buhari on March 22nd, 2019, to fashion out strategies and modalities for implementation of the financial autonomy of the state legislature and state judiciary in compliance with Section 121 (3) of the 1999 constitution (As Amended).

Invasion of Gov Ishaku’s residence by police suspicious - PDP

Rejects violation of Ishaku’s immunity protection Queries non- probing of Oshiomhole, Ganduje, el-Rufai

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has protested the handling of what it described as illegal invasion and violent attack on the residence of the Executive Governor of Taraba State, Darius Dickson Ishaku by police operatives.

The party recalled with concern that in the wake of the attack on June 11, allegedly led by one DSP Edwin Oruakpa, it charged the Inspector General of Police, Adamu Mohammed, to immediately get to the root of the matter, expose the actual forces behind the invasion and their real intentions, as well as to bring all the culprits to book publicly, but was disappointed that two weeks after nothing concrete has been done.

The PDP stated in clear terms that it is not satisfied with the poor handling of the matter which is now sparking off suspicions of a creepy ploy to suppress facts and divert public attention from the questions surrounding the unlawful assault.

Querying the illegality of the invasion, the party said it is in direct violation of the Governor’s immunity under the provisions of section 308 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended), prompting many Nigerians to point to no other motive other than a deliberate and calculated attempt to intimidate and hurt the person of the governor .

The party also frowned at “how the invading operatives had ferociously stormed the residence, threatened the occupants with AK 47 rifles, violently broke the entrance doors, manhandled the governor’s son and carted away valuables belonging to the governor and his son, after finding nothing incriminating in the residence”.

Addressing the press on Tuesday, the National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, said the invasion was primarily designed to setup, frame, incriminate and smear the image and popularity of the Governor of Taraba State; as part of the larger plot to harass, hassle, intimidate, persecute and distract PDP elected officers and bring them to public opprobrium.

He said: “There are already fears that the invading operatives may have planted incriminating items or even compromised the security architecture of the residence to facilitate a sinister plot.

“The PDP is therefore worried that the Federal Government and the Police are yet to provide answers and come clean on this matter.

“The questions are: who ordered the unlawful invasion of the residence of a sitting state governor in violation of his constitutional immunity? Under what powers was the invasion ordered and what was the real motive?

“Furthermore, what is the response of the Federal Government and the Police in guaranteeing the safety of Governor Darius Ishaku and his family members? Who is in custody of the valuables carted away from the residence by the invading operatives? Who takes

responsibility for the damage caused to the residence of the Governor?

“Until these questions are answered, the PDP and the people of Taraba State will continue to hold the APC and the Federal Government responsible for the invasion or should any harm suddenly befall Gov. Ishaku, members of his family, officials of his government or officials of our party in Taraba State.

“Nigerians across the board are all aware of the schemes by the APC to drag down Governor Darius Ishaku before and during the last governorship elections but for the overwhelming popularity he enjoys among his people due to his unprecedented achievements and developmental projects that touch directly on the wellbeing of the people of the state.

“For emphasis, the people of Taraba State have elected Governor Ishaku as their governor and they stand solidly behind him. The APC and its agents should therefore allow him to continue in his good works in the state.

“Moreover, instead of this fixation on Governor Ishaku, the federal authorities should direct its energies in finding solution to the security challenges and persistent bloodletting ravaging Taraba and other states of the federation.

“The APC administration should end its wild goose chase on PDP elected officials and focus its energy on confronting and routing the marauders, invaders, bandits and kidnappers who have been pillaging our citizens.

“Furthermore, now that nothing incriminating have been found in Governor Ishaku’s residence, can the federal authorities also proceed to search the residents of APC leaders, who have been accused of stashing stolen money in their houses as well as secret bank accounts within and outside Nigeria?

“Can they also proceed to invite or search the residences of members of the cabal at the Presidency as well as former ministers in the Buhari’s administration, who as state governors have allegations of stealing public funds still hanging on their necks?”

Questioning the rationale for harassing Ishaku, the party noted that “despite series of corruption allegations against the APC National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole, while serving as the Governor of Edo State, he has not been invited for questioning by the police, neither has his residence been searched by any security agency.

“Besides, the federal authorities have taken no steps to search any property belonging to an APC governor of one of the states of the North Central, who was accused of smuggling in and stockpiling military equipment ahead of the 2019 general elections.”

The party urged the security agencies to note that their allegiance must stand with the law and the people of Nigeria, adding that they should resist attempts by the APC and its agents to use them for its selfish agenda.

Buhari meets Nasarawa political leaders Short News Vows to end herders, farmers crisis

Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has met with the political and traditional leaders from Nasarawa state and assured that his commitment to end the incessant crisis between farmers and herdsmen in parts of the country has not waned.

The President however, said that he expects states to key into investments in education, primary healthcare, agriculture and security as a means of bringing security crisis under control.

The President reiterated this commitment on Tuesday, when he received a delegation from Nasarawa state led by Governor Abdullahi Sule at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Buhari went down memory lane, recalling how dear Nasarawa state is to him, noting that the state produced the only governor under the extinct Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) in 2011.

“The incessant conflict between herders and farmers is an age -long problem, but this administration is determined to find lasting solutions to it. I employ all leaders of opinion to help maintain peace while we are putting in place policies and permanent solutions.

“Just last week, I inaugurated the National Economic Council; during that meeting I emphasized the need to invest in

education, primary healthcare, agriculture and security as foundations for sustainable progress.

“I want to use this forum to again solicit the support of all states to align with those four pillars. We must all have a collective vision for sustainable development,” the President stated at the meeting which had in attendance, former Governor of Nasarawa state, Tanko Al-makura, the incumbent, Abdullahi Sule among others.

Reflecting on his political journey, Buhari said that “Nasarawa state and its citizens have always been dear to me. Our political journey started a long time ago, in good times and in difficult times and I could always count on your support.

“You are the first and only state to elect a governor under the CPC and you resisted all the rigging of the powers that be at the time. I can never forget your commitment and your love for me from the moment I entered partisan politics. Today, our political movement is now in government at the centre. We have won majority states, we have majority in the National Assembly, we must therefore, show gratitude to almighty God for all the blessings.

“As a government, the responsibility on us is enormous. In the last four years, we have focused on enhancing security, inclusive economic empowerment and fighting corruption. In all these areas, we

have made progress despite the significant challenges we faced.

“I am pleased to hear that there is a federal government project in Nasarawa state that is impacting on your citizens. I will like to congratulate the governor, deputy governor and all the newly elected officials from Nasarawa state on your victory in the polls, including of course, Senator Almakura.

“I must commend the steadfastness, commitment and the enormous hard work of the former Governor of Nasarawa state, Senator Tanko Al-makura, who identified with our project from the word go. I wish him well in his new assignment.

“In the next four years, I want to assure you that we will remain committed to the change agenda. Our goal of building an inclusive, secure and prosperous Nigeria is achievable. However, the federal government cannot do it alone. We need the full cooperation and support of states, local governments as well as traditional and religious leaders.

“I must commend you the Nasarawa elders and leaders for maintaining peace within the state. In the last four years, you collectively put aside your political, religious and ethnic differences for the interest of stability and prosperity. We must continue to preach peace and understanding in our various communities.”

TCN disconnects EEDC from national grid Ukpono Ukpong, Abuja The Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) has disconnected the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC) from the national grid due to its failure to comply with the market rules and market participation agreements entered into with the independent system operator.

Following the disconnection order, the EEDC intake of power from the national grid has been restricted through a disconnection order sent to the transmission service provider to disconnect some facilities of Enugu Electricity Distribution Company until the event of default is remedied.

This was contained in a suspension order signed by the TCN, E.A. Eje. Eje explained that EEDC in the signed market participation agreement had agreed to at all times be compliant with the provisions of Clause 3.2 which says that “the participant shall in accordance with the provisions of the market rules, grid code, metering code and the market procedures be compliant at all times, particularly by providing metering information in a timely manner and in the approved format in accordance with the metering code and the market procedures.

“Security deposit when so required of an amount established by market operator to serve as a form of guarantee of payment for all amounts due from the participant to the market operator and settling in a timely manner any payment due.”

He also noted that the EEDC failed to maintain a security cover in respect of Section 15.3.2 of the Market Rules, thereby breaching Section 45.3.1(d) of the Market Rules.

While noting that the EEDC was notified of the default of Market Rules 45.3.1 via a notice of event of default dated May 24, Eje explained that EEDC had the opportunity to remedy the default in line with Section 45.3.3 (b) of the Market Rules by “by providing additional security cover which complies with the requirements of Rule 15.3.3.”

He also said that the suspension order is in line with the Market Rules 45.3.7, which stipulates “suspension order to the participant, suspending or restricting all or any of the participant’s rights to participate in the market operator administered market.”

According to the TCN, it had given the EEDC ample time of five days or two business days requesting a hearing to show cause why the suspension order and the disconnection order or both as the case may be should not be issued.

“The market operator constituted a three -member panel to adjudicate at the hearing requested by the EEDC. The hearing was conducted on June 13, where both market operator compliance officers and the EEDC argued for and against the suspension of EEDC for being in default of Market Rules 45.3.1 (d) and not remedying it within the stipulated time.

“The panel reviewed the submissions of both market operator compliance officers and the EEDC and thereafter, recommended the suspension of the EEDC from market operator administered markets,” the statement added.

Youth evacuate 40 burnt bodies from pipeline explosion scene Amaka Agbu, Port Harcourt

Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike (left) and Deputy Speaker of Rivers State House of Assembly, Rt Hon Ehie Edison, and others during the submission of arms surrendered by repentant criminals at the Government House Port Harcourt... on Tuesday.

Gov Bala offers to intervene in Ganduje, Sanusi rift Samuel Luka, Bauchi Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi state has promised to personally lead a team to Kano state to meet with both Governor Abdullahi Ganduje and the Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi 11 in order to intervene in the crisis between the duo.

The governor made the promise when he received a delegation from the emir of Kano, who paid him a congratulatory visit at the Presidential Lodge in Bauchi.

He said that “by God’s grace, in my capacity as the younger brother of the Kano state governor, I will try my best to see that he is reconciled with the emir”.

“Gov. Ganduje is my elder brother. I worked with him in the FCT and I know him as a complete Fulani man. By God’s grace, I will lead an entourage to go and meet with him and also meet with the emir of Kano so that peace will be restored.

“I pray that God will quench this inferno which is trouble and disaster to the northern people.”

The governor condemned the crisis between the Kano state governor and the emir of Kano which according to him, has led to the splitting of the emirate.

Bala, who expressed sympathy with

the ordeals of the emir, described the Kano Emirate as the heartbeat of the north which ought not to suffer the shame and humiliation it is experiencing.

While describing Kano and Bauchi states as brothers and sisters who share several years of relationship and trade, Gov. Bala stated that most residents of the northern part of Bauchi state are from Kano, especially residents of Katagum Local Government Area.

“We on our own part see Kano as the heartbeat of the north not because of anything, but because it is where we are always proud of when we go out of Nigeria. Every northerner sees Kano as a place to be proud of and also a place the world knows when it comes to the traditional institutions.

“Today, the monarchy in England, Japan, Spain and everywhere do not know any traditional institution on the African continent like that of Kano. Kano is our interface with the Arab world, Europe and everywhere.

And because of that, we are sad to see that it is being disgraced, humiliated and broken into parts,” the governor added.

He maintained that “politics hasn’t gotten to the point where the Kano Emirate should be touched because it is the pride of the north.

Although, I don’t know what happened between the governor and the emir, but in my capacity as Kauran Bauchi and the son of the

Galadima of Duguri, what I know how to do is to tell the truth.”

The Bauchi state governor who said he cannot blame anyone for all that is happening, advised politicians to stay away from tempering with tradition by bringing it into politics.

“And you, the traditional rulers, try not to bring tradition into politics; this brings humiliation. But, honestly, if there is an offence, whoever committed the offence, Kano (Emirate) ought not to be tempered with because it is like a no-go area.

“Tell the emir that the people and the government of Bauchi state and the two major political parties here, the APC and the PDP are all with him, we sympathize with him over what has been happening to him,” he said.

Leader of the delegation, Sarki Ibrahim, who is the Makaman Kano, had earlier told the governor that the Emir Muhammad Sanusi ll, sent them with a congratulatory message and to wish him well in his tenure as governor of Bauchi state.

Ibrahim said that “since your inauguration, he has not come to congratulate him, so he sent us as an advanced party to come and rejoice with you, to pray for you and wish you well for this victory that God has given you.

In spite of the fresh fire that started on Monday at the scene of the pipeline explosion in Kom Kom community in Oyigbo Local Government Area of Rivers state, the youth in the community have continued with the evacuation of corpses without professional help.

The deadly fire broke out around 7.30 am last Saturday when a pipeline located in a swampy area of Kom Kom community due to causes yet to be determined by the relevant authorities exploded.

Leader of the youth evacuation team, Ethel Nwokoria, told journalists yesterday, that eight more corpses have been evacuated bringing the total number of victims recovered from the pipeline explosion to 40.

He said: “When they called us to come and help evacuate the corpses, I picked three boys plus me; that’s four. The boys were scared, saying they had never carried corpses before, but with persuasions they joined me. We brought out eight burnt corpses today. Yesterday were 32. There are more corpses there to be identified and evacuated.”

Meanwhile, some of the residents of Harmony Avenue and other areas close to the scene of the incident have expressed health concerns over the decaying corpses.

One of them who pleaded anonymity complained that “people around cannot stay here because of the odour coming from the bodies that are beginning to decompose and they were all human beings. Government would have to come and pick up the corpses. They don’t have to wait for them to be called.”

Another resident said that “People living around here cannot sleep because of the odour.

Human beings are inside there. Government should know what to do. They should come and excavate this place, keep it clean. This is a swampy area and it is too harmful for human habitation. Many people are living around so they should come and excavate these dead bodies.”

Benue declares it has no land for herders’ settlements Chiangi Avese, Makurdi Governor of Benue state, Samuel Ortom has said that the state has no land for herdsmen settlements being implemented by the federal government across the country.

In a press statement issued Tuesday in Makurdi, Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Terver Akase revealed that few weeks ago, the director, Federal Ministry of Agriculture in Makurdi went to the state ministry of agriculture with his team demanding for compliance with the directive of the federal government to establish Fulani settlements, one each in the three senatorial districts of the state.

The local governments selected by the federal government in the state for the establishment of the settlements according to the governor’s spokesman, are Ukum, Tarka and Otukpo respectively.

The statement said the permanent secretary in the state ministry of agriculture drew the attention of the director and his team to the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law 2017 being implemented in the state.

The permanent secretary further directed the attention of the director to the Land Use Act which confers on the governor the powers to administer land in all parts of the state.

According to Akase, the director who left with his team resurfaced few days later with contractors to commence work on the settlements in the state.

“We find the approach of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture not only as a gross violation of the ranching law, but also as an insult to the sensibilities of the entire people of Benue state,” the statement said.

The statement further recalled that the people and government of Benue state rejected cattle colonies and still reject the policy in whichever robe it is disguised.

“We are willing to support cattle owners to establish ranches as stipulated by the law prohibiting open grazing. But, we do not have land for cattle colonies, grazing reserves, grazing routes or herders’ settlements,” the statement added.

We cannot ‘unlook’ in darkness to the Next Level

Yinka Olaito

“Here in Nigeria, people seem to accept the unacceptable revelations of how politicians share millions of Naira belonging to the nation. The newspapers report them and the television speaks about them, but people just laugh; they laugh because they have been shocked to the state of unshockability. The truth that all this brings home so sadly is that Nigerians, in the main, regard themselves as passing sojourners on the geographical amalgam called Nigeria. ~Dele Giwa Last week, in a fit of righteous indignation Sam Amadi made startling revelations about how former President Jonathan and his co-travelers scammed Nigerians in the guise of power sector privatisation by selling the DISCOs to ‘straw men’. In a series of tweets to counter the allegations of complicity in our current predicament, the former NERC boss exhumed the massive corruption and gross incompetence in the sector which he explicitly said was designed to fail. Hear him “The power sector was designed to fail. We failed to corporatise and commercialise before privatising; we privatise senselessly without paying attention to context and corporate governance and regulatory regime; we sold to investors who lacked capacity,” To put it in another perspective and perhaps even more bluntly, we have just been told to get ready for more years of darkness! Yet this story did not trend, at least not like it should considering the enormity of the details divulged and the gravity of its consequences. Rather government officials, media houses, content creators and our so-called ‘social media influencers’ have dwelt on the facile change of title by Aisha Buhari and other trifles Of course, Jonathan is not the only beneficiary of that dubious exercise, members of the ruling elite including some influential figures in the ruling party benefited from the filthy lucre. We know them. If you don’t, then I suggest you peruse the ownership nomenclature of the DISCOs at the Corporate Affairs

Commission to know that the apple truly doesn’t fall far from the tree. These folks who have filched our collective patrimony for ages probably gathered in a hotel room somewhere and appropriated the power sector and this is why they who has refused to toe the same line They are the same group that Iyabo Obasanjo referred to in her coruscating letter of 2013 where she not only accused her father of having an egoistic craving for power to live as the king among men of low esteem and intellect but also described Nigeria as a country so pauperised by the ruling class that smart, capable people prostrate before simpletons for patronage Unfortunately, just like every other nation, the masses will always bear the brunt of such depravity by her leaders.

The only distinction with the Nigerian situation is the seeming willingness to carry on as if it is a norm Why we are so docile? Why do we revel in frivolities? Why are we not infuriated by the abysmal performance of those we put in charge of our affairs?

I have often pondered these questions and each time I struggle to avoid a conclusion similar to what a friend echoed two days ago as we argued about the NASS leadership elections. Just like the late Dele Giwa’s sentiments quoted above, my friend opined that a majority of Nigerians do not know what good governance means. In his words “we are largely a bunch of economic hustlers not yet ready for nation building” Just last night another friend who was visiting Lusaka called to narrate how he was blown away by the infrastructure in Zambia especially the constant electricity. Are we not meant to be doing better than Zambia? Are we not exporting power to Niger, the Republic of Benin and Togo? We sell gas to the West African region for goodness sake.

So why can’t we indulge ourselves?

Frankly, the power dilemma troubles me a lot. In fact, I am yet to meet anyone I know that it bothers more. I believe the reason a large number of our youths

waste productive man-hours in bars and hotels is largely due to the epileptic power supply.

I clearly recollect when Obasanjo was elected the president in 1999 as our fourth republic commenced with enthusiastic optimism. In his usual bravado, he proclaimed ‘blackouts a thing of the past’. Buoyed by this promise I had advised my unscrupulous generator repairer to seek an alternative vocation. I will never forget the way he laughed so hard with his feet raised to the sky as he rhetorical asked me “in this Nigeria?” Indeed that uneducated artisan turned out to be Nostradamus.

He certainly had a better understanding of our country than I did back then. And as Obasanjo’s eight-year tenure ended, the power situation appeared to have gotten worse In 2017, I spent Easter in Amawbia, much of Awka South LGA was in darkness for two months. It required a threat to picket EEDC by Awka youths before the damaged equipment was replaced. I visited Nigeria about four times last year and it was pretty much the same each time. In February of that year, I didn’t see a flicker for about two weeks before I left. Again I was in Nigeria for six weeks recently. I did not have power for up to seventy-two hours in aggregate. That is roughly a thousand hours without electricity and I’m not kidding Twenty long years after Obasanjo’s statement, we are still groping in the dark and filling up generators tanks every morning. Yet Fashola would have us believe that Nigerians now spend less on diesel because the power situation is better than it was yesterday even as LUTH which is located in his constituency is still in darkness as I write. We are constantly regaled with statements on how power generation has increased from 3000MW to 8000MW and other technical jargon. All mumbo jumbo that further exasperates the common man on the streets The truth is that we are still gazillion miles away from a stable power supply,

and depending on your location, the situation may have improved or worsened but nationwide there has been no significant difference So for how much longer will we continue in darkness? With an estimated population of 200 million and a median age of 18 years, the unemployment problem is like a cluster bomb that has already exploded in Borno, Yobe, Zamfara, Kaduna and even the president’s home state of Katsina.

Nigerians are not greedy and we don’t demand too much from our government because we are like my friend said ‘economic hustlers’. I believe that twelve hours of constant daily supply will do for now. Let us have the improved power supply promised during the campaigns, we can get to stability later.

And really this can be achieved with the right mix of policies backed by concrete action. Take for instance the solar-powered MTN Lumos which I’ve been using for close to two years. It is not exactly cheap at N4,300 monthly but it works. There are thousands of private businesses capable of providing alternative/renewable energy for our teeming populace if encouraged by the government. One would expect that the various agencies and parastatals charged with developing the energy sector will be suffocating with activities but the next event on the website of the energy commission of Nigeria is in November 2019!

Buhari obviously inherited a mess but that’s an old story now. Having struggled for the last four years, Nigerians demonstrated great trust in him by giving him a fresh mandate.

With a NASS leadership handpicked by his party, there should be no excuses going forward. It was the 18th-century German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe who said that “what life gives to a man, posterity gives entirely.”

President Buhari owes nobody but Nigerians a duty if he wants to be given his due by posterity. We cannot afford to grope in the dark any longer. It is time to put the next level in the ‘spot-light.

Reflection on human ambition and happiness

AbdulWarees Solanke

One theme that resonated in my reflection in a 2012 opinion article titled Anatomy of Death and published in a number of Nigerian dailies was AMBITION. In that piece, I argued that ambition is a mirage when death is not minded, among many other metaphors that I used to illustrate the futility of human ambition.

Although it was an expression of agony and lamentations on the realities of life, in a sense however, there is nothing wrong in being ambitious. After all, ambition is the Driver of Existence, The Purpose and The Vision. But that purpose or vision must be meaningful and positively impactful. This I consider a nice colour of ambition.

So, ambition is not bad in itself, not at all. After all, a life devoid of ambition is one without purpose.

A man or woman without ambition aims for nothing, ventures for nothing and so gains nothing. He lives to be exploited by other players in the field of life and consumed by other forces that shape the world.

He lives to die without a reason to live.

He lives by the spurs of the day, by the whims and caprices of the moment and by intuition, emotion or brainwaves, not by a particular plan, order or focus, not rationally, not objectively.

He cannot tell what should be inscribed on his tombstone should he breathe his last now, because he has no purpose, mission or ambition in the first instance; nor can

he proclaim Alhamdulillah, Halleluyyah, Allahu Akbar, Ogoooo in a song of victory, should he achieve anything because he has no expectation of it.

To him, it came by chance. He cannot number the milestones on his journey of life, should he live long because he has no compass of life. A life without ambition is one of waste and disorder. Ambition is what paints our purposes and pursuits.

The hue of our hopes and aspiration is the ambition we silently nurture and we practically pursue. It is the tonic of existence, the adrenalin of life, firing our rocket of attainment, fulfilment or actualisation.

Our ambition may be hinged on sustaining a legacy, especially if we are children of the Abiolas, the Arisekolas, Dangotes, Adenugas, Otedolas, Tinubus, JimohIbrahims, Dantatas, the SubomiBaloguns and Da Rocha’s of Nigeria.

It may be just to make a difference, carve a niche for ourselves in our professions or trade, in the academia, in sports and entertainment, or in the public service.

Our ambition is the height we want to attain, in being the best possible in what we do or where we are, winning laurels and honours, filling our chests with all sorts of medals and trophies, stacking our lapels with symbols of knighthoods and eminence, standing tall before a mammoth crowd of admirers, before bright, hot

cameras of the TV and the paparazzi of the press, enjoying the ovation and the encomiums splashed on us as we wait to be decorated with the Nobel prizes, the Olympic gold and the Grammy awards.

Our journey in life starts not from the cradle, not even from the womb of our mothers. It is an inherited journey from the mud from which our father Adam was moulded by The Ultimate Potter.

Some thinkers found a convenient way to describe our maker as the Grand Architect of the Universe.

This architect has also been described as the author and finisher of our life in the Christian Scripture. He is Allah; for this is what the Quran directs humanity to call Him, or Ar-Rahman, the merciful, among so many other beautiful names that qualify the majesty of the Almighty, his omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience.

Many of us want to be somebody without understanding or knowing how or who we want to be like. We envy others and want to surpass them in achievement without appreciating their peculiar pains and limitations, costs and compromises, the sacrifices they offered and sins they committed in their climb up the ladder.

We seek the face of Allah or the heavenly Father for fortune and forgiveness, yet we follow fools and fortune-tellers with famished faces and frail fingers as our pathfinders to direct us on our ambitions.

Nobody lives to experience pains and

adversity or relish it at all, which however is part of the realities of our everyday existence. We suffer losses and experience disappointments, for many almost daily not even occasionally. Our expectations fail and aspirations are unmet even when we have toiled and labored so hard.

So, as we romanticize on living it, we accelerate our desperation, even when we are already blessed with some qualitative but unacknowledged enrichment.

This is exactly where we all mostly err. It is in our inability to see the reason to be happy and be grateful in spite our situation or ordeal. We also falter when we see the reason to be happy, in the mindless celebration of our achievement or accomplishment.

We must bring ourselves to the understanding of the pursuit of happiness.

Since we all see wealth as a major source of happiness, we must begin to count our blessings in order to be happy.

It is in our acknowledgment of His Grace in us and gratitude to Him every day and in all situations. Which of His blessings can we deny? Were we to name them, they are countless and we will be unable. In this consciousness, awareness or remembrance is the extent of our happiness.

For in being pleased in Him and He being pleased with us can we experience perfect tranquillity and innermost pleasure and happiness in spite of the visible, pervasive turbulence around us.

Editorial Commentary PENCIL’S CORNER with

Omenesa

Scared of your shadow?

Recently, whenever I’m walking, I sense that someone is walking behind me. Sometimes I would see an image and then the image is by my left hand side. Then I continue walking, and I can literally hear the steps behind me. This evening on my way to work, I saw a black image on my right, and immediately, I saw that it was my shadow. Phew!!! For a minute there, I was petrified. I felt like something or someone was by the bushes, ready to ambush me.

As I eventually got to work, I took a deeper look at my perception and I couldn’t help but wonder why I have been sensing all this. The more I dug deeper I was able to realize the following: 1. That I am naturally scared due to armed robbers attacking me twice.

2. Another sense of insecurity stems from my deep physical and emotional loneliness that expresses itself in the fear of being attacked, rather than expecting love. Because it is easier to combat, than to surrender 3. Natural fear of walking alone. I came to the conclusion that a lot of us run away from forces that we think are real; vague imaginations that have built monuments in the crevices of our psyches, controlling and dominating our lives, while we wait for a snake to pop out of a tree, or someone to rape us on the street. It is incessant, and it is a problem. We have to come to the point where we see shadows for what they are, shadows.

Now, I admit that shadows are a reflection of self? Could it be that we don’t like ourselves?

Could it be that our self hatred sabotages us as we terrify over the outcome of who we are and what we can do? Could it be that our viewpoint

of who we are comes back to attack us in every way, parading itself as a masquerade, ridiculing us and laughing whenever we cower.

With confidence I have chosen to walk down the street, but not until my confidence in who I am, is built. Telling myself that, “I am not alone.” I have Jesus with me. My husband loves me. My father adores me. I love and celebrate myself. I am worth loving. I am worth being with.

With those words in my head, I’m sure that fear will dissipate, and whenever I walk down the road, it would be nothing but love following me, which in return will be my shadow, but this time, a reflection of peace, and not of fear.

In another light, we could see a shadow as insignificant, meaning absolutely nothing. If a shadow is inconsequential, seeming to follow us everywhere we go, we can categorize our troubles as shadows, chasing us and seeming real, but only in our minds.

However, we should be consoled and reminded that a shadow is only created simply because there is light. Yes!!! There is an obstacle standing in the way of its fullness, so the shadow appear. So, you are light, either which way you choose to see it. There is a ray of light on the inside of you, and your shadow is only a reminder of that.

However, if we can get the obstacles out of the way, no matter how small, then we can all be light, without the shadow. To me, the shadow is the monster within that competes with my light. As I continue to acknowledge my brightness, I believe my monsters will disappear. “The brighter the light, the darker the shadow” originally stated by Carl Jung.

Bauchi Speaker warns workers against indiscipline, corruption Mohammed Ahmed Kaigama Bauchi, June 24, 2019 (NAN) The Speaker of the Bauchi State House of Assembly, Alhaji Abubakar Sulaiman, on Monday warned workers against acts of indiscipline, corruption and absenteeism.

(NAN)

OUR POSITION Curbing HIV/AIDS menace in Nigeria 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 sub-Saharan 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.

HDP faction disowns petition against Buhari at tribunal Andrew Orolua, Abuja Drama erupted on Tuesday at the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja, when a faction of the Hope Democratic Party (HDP) disowned the petition filed by its presidential candidate, Ambrose Albert Owuru, against the election of President Muhammadu Buhari.

The party at the resumed hearing of the petitions against Buhari announced that its presidential candidate was never authorized or mandated to file any petition against the February 23 presidential election.

Factional Chairman of the party, Chief Poland Awini Tapre, who brought a motion to disown the petition of the presidential candidate, prayed the tribunal to strike out the name of the party from the petition.

Tapre, in the motion argued by his counsel, Anthony Agbonlahan, pleaded with the tribunal headed by Justice Mohammed Garba to remove the party’s name from the petition because the HDP has no intention of challenging the outcome of the presidential poll.

In the motion, which has three exhibits, Owuru was said not to have consulted with the party leadership before using the name of the party as second petitioner against the election of Buhari.

However, the presidential candidate, Owuru, vehemently opposed the attempt to scuttle his petition with a counter affidavit of six paragraphs deposed to by Auwal Abdullahi, who claimed to be national financial secretary of the party.

He further averred that the bid to remove the party’s name from his petition is a “gang up” against his petition and urged the tribunal to ignore the purported factional chairman.

Owuru’s counsel, Chukwunonyerem Njokwu, in the counter affidavit described the factional chairman as an impostor who is not known to the party in any capacity.

The counsel alleged that the factional chairman was a sponsored agent sent to the tribunal to frustrate the speedy hearing of the petition of his client against Buhari.

Njoku therefore, pleaded with the tribunal to award a punitive cost of N100 million against the factional chairman for

acting as busy body and meddlesome interloper in the petition.

Counsel to Buhari, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN), Yunus Usman (SAN) for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN) for the All Progressive Congress (APC) supported the factional chairman of the party’s bid to remove the party’s name so as to weaken the petition of the presidential candidate.

Meanwhile, the tribunal chairman, Justice Mohammed Garba, has reserved ruling on the issue whether the tribunal will allow the name of the party to be removed or not from the petition.

In a ruling on another motion, the tribunal permitted the HDP presidential candidate, Chief Owuru to amend clerical errors in his petition, but refused the request to call additional witnesses to testify against Buhari.

Justice Garba ruled that the 21 days allowed by law to file petition, to list witnesses and their statements on oath has lapsed, hence, additional witnesses cannot be allowed.

Gov’s wife advises parents to pay attention to children’s mental health Benjamin Omoike, Lagos

Wife of Lagos state Governor, Mrs. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu, has urged parents and guardians to pay attention to the welfare and mental health of their children and wards, saying such was necessary to evolve a decent youth population and a sanitised society.

Speaking at a symposium on substance abuse, organised by Freedom Foundation, Mrs. Sanwo-Olu said it was important for parents to give quality attention to issues around their children and sometimes go as far as intruding into their privacy to truly be abreast with them.

She said the admonition becomes imperative in view of the fact that it has been wellestablished that children without proper parental care and guidance most times end up being captives to drugs.

“As individual family units, we must focus on the home front, by paying due attention to the welfare and mental health of our children. The type of adults that children grow to become has a lot to do with the level of decency of their upbringing.

“We must make it our business to sometimes intrude into their business by knowing who their friends are, where they go, how they relax, what they drink and so on and so forth.

“By so doing, we will be their friend and earn their confidence. It is the way to go, to positively influence our children and reduce peer pressure on them. This will help remarkably to evolve a decent youth population for a sanitized society,” the governor’s wife stated.

Nigeria loses N455bn annually to open defecation - UNICEF Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja Nigeria loses over N455 billion of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) annually due to poor sanitation and a third of that cost is as a result of open defecation, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has said.

According to the international body, Nigeria needs to add two million toilets every year between 2019 and 2025 to achieve the target of universal basic sanitation.

Speaking during a two – day media dialogue on sanitation and use the toilet campaign organised by Clean Nigeria in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Information, UNICEF and supported by the European Union, UKaid in Ibadan, Oyo state, UNICEF Water and Sanitation specialist, Bioye Ogunjobi said that about 16 million people in the north central region

practise open defecation.

This figure from the north east according to the sanitation specialist, is out of the 47 million people that openly defecate in Nigeria.

While lamenting that about 90 per cent of households use contaminated water, Ogunjobi said it is saddening that over 32 million Nigerians do not have access to improved toilets, stressing the need for political will to achieve the 2025 target of making Nigeria open defecation free.

“More than 100, 000 children under the age of five years die each year due to diarrhoea of which 90 per cent is directly attributed to the use of unsafe water and sanitation. Nigeria is the second country with the highest children’s death due to diarrhoea.

“Currently, only 13 local government areas from four states of Bauchi, Benue, Cross River and Jigawa are open defecation

free. We have to mobilize the entire country, otherwise the 2025 target will not be possible,” Ogunjobi added.

He stated that Nigeria’s 12 million stunted children and two million acute malnourished children are all as a result of bad sanitation system in Nigeria.

Earlier, the Deputy Director, Head, Child Rights Information Bureau, Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, Olumide Osanyinpeju, while calling for collaboration to discourage open defecation lamented that it is a dangerous habit that promotes the spread of diseases and poverty.

He commended UNICEF and European Union for being in the forefront of ensuring that Nigerians have access to safe drinking water supply, adequate sanitation and proper hygiene in their environment and communities even as he stressed the need to double the current efforts to end open defecation by 2030.

Kogi APC factions disagree over mode for guber primary PDP gov’ship aspirant says Bello a failure

Idris Ahmed, Lokoja As the primaries to elect candidates for the November governorship election in Kogi state scheduled for August draws nearer, factions within the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) are at daggers drawn over the method of the process to be adopted.

While the Governor Yahaya Bello faction is insisting on indirect primary, the late Prince Abubakar Audu and Rep. James Faleke faction led by the state Chairman of the party, Alhaji Hadi Ametuo has resolved that it must be direct primary for the party.

Already, the faction loyal to the governor met last week and resolved that the primary election to nominate the APC candidate for the November governorship election will be by indirect process where delegates and political appointees can be automatic delegates.

The Audu and Faleke faction which claim to have won the November 2015 Kogi governorship election has appealed to the national working committee of the APC to wade in and determine

the mode of election to be adopted for the August primary.

In a communiqué signed by the state APC Secretary, Ade Ismail, the Audu/Faleke faction stated that “we will like to announce to the public that the APC has not made an official decision on whether to adopt the direct or indirect primary election for the forthcoming gubernatorial election.

“We are the authentic state executive council having held congresses across wards in all local governments and instituted executive committees in the same places; so it is illegal for any other faction to make decisions for the APC in Kogi state regarding the mode of election to be adopted in the August primary without our knowledge and most importantly, when the APC national working committee has not made their decision known on the matter.

“Only the national working committee of the APC has the authority to determine the mode of primary election to be adopted in Kogi state. We are disciplined and always open to progressive and harmonised ways of doing things. We await the decision of the APC national working committee and other party leaders regarding the

method of election to be adopted for the primary.

“We are confident they will use their good leadership and experience to make the best decision for Kogi state; a decision that will be in line with the party’s constitution, a decision that will abide by the technicalities of electing a flag bearer.

“The state governor has invited us for a parley and we will honour the invitation. We have always made ourselves available for any reconciliatory meetings and discussions because our major interest is for the success and progress of our great party.

“We will also like to strongly advise the national leadership of our great party to be wary of the mistakes of Zamfara and Imo states and help sanitize the party in Kogi state so that we can avoid pitfalls ahead. Let fairness, justice and adherence to party principles guide their decisions.”

Meanwhile, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship aspirant in the state, Alhaji Abubakar Idris, has described the All Progressives Congress (APC) administration in the state as a monumental failure and a disaster.

Our priority is to get Kwara working again, says AbdulRazaq Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin Kwara state Governor, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has said his first priority is to get things back to normal and restore confidence in the state such as fixing bad roads, getting water running in homes and getting moribund institutions back to work.

AbdulRazaq said this Monday night when he visited the Kwara state College of Education (Technical), Lafiagi, where he assured workers who have long been on strike that they would be paid as soon as possible.

He had earlier visited Bacita, a town in Kwara North that once hosted Nigeria’s biggest sugar factory, where he said that discussions are ongoing with investors to revive the industry with domino effects on employment and wealth creation.

The governor also visited the Lafiagi General Hospital where he bemoaned the lack of basic amenities like water supply, electricity and refrigeration for medical supplies like antisnake bite serum.

He however, commended the Federal Ministry of Health for its interventionist programmes such as free malaria drugs.

On Tuesday, AbdulRazaq visited the Duku Lade Irrigation Scheme in Patigi Local Government Area of the state as part of efforts to ensure all-year farming.

The governor has since embarked on extensive tours of facilities across the state, especially water works, hospitals, schools and the comatose media houses that have stopped working.

The tours have led to release of funds for quick measures that have seen water running in parts of the state, road rehabilitation and

ongoing efforts to bring Radio Kwara back on air after many months of inactivity.

“Things are not just bad here. I have seen your hospital and your water works. They are in a bad state. But, that is the way things are all over the state. What we are trying to do is to get things gradually working the way they used to be.

“Now, how does that affect you here?

We will get you back to work. We will clear whatever has to be cleared. But, as I said, it is a difficult task. I will give you an example.

There’s no money, but we will manage our resources. For May, we received N3.2 billion and salary alone gulped N2.2 billion.

“So only N1billion is left to run institutions like this and fix hospitals and water works. We just have to manage our resources and put the little resources in the right places,” AbdulRazaq told workers of the college of education.

The Court of Appeal sitting in Ado Ekiti, has sacked the Owa of Odo Ayedun, Oba Ilesanmi Ajibade based on the lopsided selection process that led to his emergence as king.

The Appeal Court in its decision upheld the decision of the Ekiti state High Court which nullified the selection and appointment of Oba Ajibade.

The court in its unanimous decision on Tuesday held that the state government erred to have cancelled the first selection process and immediately ordered for a fresh one since it has no absolute powers in law to do so.

In a verdict read by Justice Dawodu-williams, the court validated the first selection process held on November 2, 2009, which produced Prince Kunle Adeniyi, an assistant director in the state Ministry of Information as the duly selected king.

Justice Williams, who resolved all the issues formulated for determination in the case against the appellant and in favour of the respondent, Prince Adeniyi Adekunle affirmed the lower court’s judgement on the kingship tussle.

Redeem your pledge to IDPs in Benue, CAN urges FG Chiangi Avese, Makurdi

Chairman of the Benue state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), Rev. Dr. Akpen Leva has called on the state governor to prevail on the federal government to redeem its financial pledge of resettling the displaced persons in the state.

Rev. Dr. Leva made the call when he led other officials of CAN on a courtesy visit to Governor Samuel Ortom at the Benue People’s House on Tuesday in Makurdi.

He said the call became necessary as the rains have set in while displaced persons still live in the various camps spread across the state.

“These people should not be made to continue living in the IDPs camps. It is not right

that people with large families will be living on rationed food for the rest of their lives,” the chairman pointed out.

Our correspondent reports that a pledge of N10 billion was made by the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo to the state for the settlement of IDPs last year on behalf of the federal government.

According to Rev. Leva, said it is time the state government takes mechanized farming seriously in order to enhance food production, adding that “this would also deter those who imagine the state has fallow land to be taken.

“Our large span of fertile land should be put to use maximally. It is because the farmers continue in subsistence farming that outsiders see our lands as empty,” Leva said.

The CAN chairman urged the governor to ensure the construction and commission of the

cargo airport his administration embarked upon in its first term, pointing out that the airport would facilitate business in the state and provide jobs to unemployed youth in the state.

The CAN delegation also appealed to the governor to reconcile with all his political opponents for peace and stability in the state.

Gov. Ortom in his response, acknowledged the prayers of the Christian community in the state for his administration.

“You stood with us in the massive insecurity the state went through. That has reduced, but I am hoping it will completely stop soon,” Ortom said.

He said a trust, peace and reconciliation committee is been constituted to reconcile aggrieved politicians in the state, saying “my administration needs the contributions of every Benue indigene in the development task ahead.”

Onaiyekan foundation’s free medical outreach to benefit 10, 000 IDPs

No fewer than 10,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) will benefit from free medical outreach organised by the Cardinal Onaiyekan Foundation for Peace in collaboration with African Medical Missions.

Executive Director of the foundation, Rev. Sister Agatha Chikelue disclosed this during the outreach programme for IDPs in Kabusa in Abuja.

Chikelue said that the one -week programme was borne out of the desire to reach out to the poor and the less privileged, especially the IDPs. She said the outreach was targeted at 10, 000 IDPs in Kabusa and Wassa IDPs camps and their host community, adding that “we all know the plight of the people living in our IDPs camps, a lot of them do not have access to quality healthcare services.

“So we and our partners in the United States, who have also been going round other African countries decided to offer free medical services to the IDPs. It is a team of 27 medical doctors, nurses and volunteers who have come here to help us treat the less privileged in the society, especially

those who cannot afford to access quality healthcare services.

“The team from the US also believes this is the best way to evangelise and bring the love of Christ to people in the society. This is the vacation time in Europe and America and instead of going to have fun, they decided to come to Nigeria to help our less privileged.”

Chikelue added that the medicines and equipment the mission brought was to cover for 10, 000 people, both men and women, and children and adults.

She said tooth operations, eye checks, treatment for hypertension, diabetes, typhoid, malaria and skin infections among others will be conducted free.

Director, West African Community Missions, Dr. Kevin White, said they were in Nigeria as Catholic Christians to treat the IDPs, support the community and help those who are sick and in need.

White said that the team was made up of 27 doctors from California, who volunteered to be in Nigeria during their vacation.

“All of us here are volunteers and these doctors gave up their vacation, paid for their tickets to come here out of a desire to bless Nigeria and help the people in need. So for us it is a very important problem that we are here to help solve.

“We can only make a small dent in the problem, we cannot solve the problem, but we are here to help do what we can,” he stated.

White, who was also accompanied by his wife, Valerie, also a director of the mission, said they went on such medical outreaches twice a year all over West Africa.

The Parish Priest, Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Ventura, California, Rev. Father Aloysius Ezeonyeka, said political will was needed to address the health challenges in Nigeria because the country has the resources and personnel to address its health challenges, but needs good policies.

“We have the resources, Nigerians are one of the best doctors in the US, but the problem is that there are no good policies; government does not care because a lot of them go abroad to treat themselves.

A middle-aged woman has been arrested in Lagos for posing as an aide to the Lagos state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s while seeking to obtain his visa at the Italian embassy.

The government in a statement signed by the Deputy Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Gboyega Akosile and made available to journalists, alerted members of the public to be wary of people who may fraudulently use the office of the governor to commit criminal acts.

Akosile said the security alert to Lagosians became imperative following the arrest of the woman over the weekend for using the governor’s office to seek visa for some members of the public.

He said that “the suspect (name withheld) via an e-mail sent to the embassy of Italy in Lagos, allegedly posed as an official of the Lagos state government and sought the country’s visa for some unsuspecting Nigerians. ‘’The embassy however, wrote to the governor’s office to authenticate the claims which were later found to be false. The letter from the Italian embassy led to further investigation and her subsequent arrest, and interrogation. ‘’Although, she denied the allegation claiming that her e-mail was hacked, the Lagos state governor’s office has sent the matter to the appropriate security agencies for appropriate action.’’

“The conduct of the Mahmood- led INEC before the Presidential Elections Petition Tribunal in which INEC denied deploying the technological transmission of results (electronic servers) which the electoral commission budgeted and got the facilities installed has shown that Prof.

Mahmood has no business remaining as chairman,” Ugochanum said.

NIS lauds Heritage Bank for seamless services, socioeconomic growth Temitope Adebayo The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has commended Heritage Bank Plc for its leadership position in seamless service delivery to customers and socioeconomic growth.

The Comptroller General (CG) of NIS, Muhammad Babandede lauded Heritage Bank yesterday, during the commissioning of the SERVICOM unit built by the bank at NIS Ikoyi office in Lagos.

Babandede who noted that service in Nigeria Immigration was important for operating a competitive edge in its class, delivering efficiently and best of services commended Heritage Bank for taking the bold step to supporting the delivery of excellent service for bankrolling the SERVICOM building in the NIS premises.

According to him, NIS is glad to be able to put the SERVICOM centre into use, as this is a key part that will further, help the issue of physical one-to-one contact to be eliminated, services will be paid for online- i.e. cashless, delivery within timeline and people getting the services they pay for without bottlenecks or other delays associated with process and service delivery.

The MD/CEO of Heritage Bank, Ifie Sekibo at the commissioning of the unit said being a financial institution that prides itself primarily on service excellence, there was a need to make input into the quality of service received at the NIS office by customers and stakeholders.

Sekibo, who was represented by the Group Head, Corporate Services of the bank, Bukola Olaifa further explained, “In Heritage Bank, we pride ourselves in the field in such a way that we want to be innovative and; we cannot be like any other bank, the fact is that we came in at the time that we did and still function effectively like any other bank. We have been creative, innovative and we will continue along that threshold.

“We pride ourselves on being the service bank and we are not apologetic about it, we are a service company that is the way we see ourselves, a service company in the business of offering financial services. We have received several industry awards for service excellence already, with several other recognitions from some organisations.

We want to be a bank to be known for helping government and corporate organisations, SMEs, opening new banking opportunities in the area of retail. Above all, helping people to transfer the wealth that they have created and preserved to the next generation.”

He stated that the primary function of NIS is migration management for the improved quality of its citizens’ lives, hence to achieve the feats, departments like SERVICOM are established to provide efficient services to the people.

According to him, reforms in the NIS cannot be attained without demonstrable service delivery, as Nigerians have for too long been short-changed by the quality of public service delivery by which decisions are not made without undue outside influence, and files do not move without being pushed with inducements.

Sekibo stressed that Nigerians deserve better, hence this was what informed the decision to undertake the building of SERVICOM centre.

heat exchanger tubes. The packaged equipment includes a modular CCR unit, catalyst coolers, a third-stage separator system for the RFCC units (which upgrades heavy oil), and two pressureswing adsorption units (PSA) to purify hydrogen.

Speaking at the kick-off of the training, Director Human Asset Management & Project support, DORC, Mohan Kumar said the programme is very important for the refinery operation.

“The training will enable the employees understand the refinery, how it works, the type of technology in the refinery and how it operates”, he said.

Also speaking, Director Refinery Operations, DORC, George Nicolaides, said the training was necessary to prepare the employees for the operation of the refinery. “The employees are the present and future of the Dangote Refinery. The employees are carefully selected young engineers that will be part of the people

to start the refinery operation. We expect that within a few years they will be able to take up major roles in running of the refinery operation.”

In his remark, Director, Business Strategy & Optimisation, Srinivas Rachakonda said: “These employees have gone through refinery training.

They have seen instrumentation and now this training will enable them to understand how the technology works.”

Head, Learning & Development, DORC, Dr Ebele Oputa, in his remark said: “For such a high-tech project, investment in getting the right quality of human capital to run the plant is considered to be possibly the most critical success factor for the multibillion-dollar project. We are therefore most grateful for the assistance from the USTDA towards the training of some of the operators needed to successfully operate and maintain our 650,000 bpd capacity refinery at Lekki.”

Mutual Benefits Assurance posts 12% increase in PAT to N1.15bn Motolani Oseni

BEDC assures Ondo South communities of commitment to power supply Explains constraints on power distribution Michael Ajayi The management of BEDC Electricity Plc. (BEDC) has assured residents of Ondo South that it is committed to providing power to their various communities provided the federal Government through the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) addresses the present technical constraints that impede power distribution to the areas.

BEDC in its reaction to complaints by Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State over lack of power supply to some parts of Ondo South appealed to the Governor to put pressures on TCN and other federal government- related institutions to create an enabling environment for BEDC to serve its customers better by addressing these technical constraints.

These constraints according BEDC includes; the repair of the faulty breaker on

the 30MVA TCN transformer which affected voltage to Ondo South axis causing very poor and none useful power ‘candlelight’.

BEDC also called for the replacement of the unstable Ife/Oshogbo 132KV undersized line and the recommencing/completion of the proposed 132/33KV, 2x 60MVA at Erinje in Okitipupa which will provide capacity for up to 90megawatts of power when completed.

“In order to have a lasting and a complete solution to Ondo South electricity need as well as have a lasting solution to Ondo state general power limitations, the permanent solution is for TCN to complete the proposed 132/33KV, 2x60MVA at Erinje in Okitipupa project which has been awarded

by NDDC and abandoned as well as replace the unstable Ife/Oshogbo 132KV undersized line” BEDC said.

When this is completed, BEDC said it will be able to take the transmitted power and distribute same to customers in other parts

of Ondo South, but noted “this will only serve an additional 25% of the power needs in this area. This is because the estimated total power supply needed is 47.6MW and only additional 11MW will be available from this TCN source, hence there would still be a shortfall of about 36.6MW”.

BEDC said that in January it collaborated with Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC) using National Independent Power Project (NIPP) to restore power supply to Ode-Aye town in Okitipupa and Igbokoda in Ilaje local government area of Ondo South by rehabilitating the distribution network in a phased manner and by bypassing major load using centres.

“This was done to demonstrate to customers in Ondo South axis that the network was ready to receive and distribute power when TCN makes same available” the company added.

BEDC says since 2015, it has escalated to Ondo State Government, Federal

Ministry of Power and Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) that the issue of power supply to major parts of Ondo South is largely and principally affected by TCN constraint.

It added: “TCN has not been able to transmit adequate power to BEDC in Ondo State and especially in part of Ondo South due to its technical constraints which have led to its existing problem of none availability of power in these locations.”

“We wish to state categorically that as a service provider, BEDC is not comfortable watching a large proportion of its customers located in Ondo state and most especially in several locations in Ondo South without supply for so many years.

The reality, however, is that in line with the existing methodology of buying and transmitting bulk power from TCN grid, such power which is purchased by BEDC is what is distributed to our customers in all areas”, BEDC stated.

Buhari group slams protesters against Presidential aide, Abba Kyari, disowns them Stories by Patrick Okohue

Dickson

Bayelsa: By planning to boycott LG polls, APC has shown it lacks capacity to win – Dickson The Bayelsa State governor, Hon Seriake Dickson has said that the planned boycott of the forthcoming local government council poll by some political parties particularly the All Progressives Congress is a demonstration of their understanding of inability to win elections in the state.

Governor Dickson stated this during a meeting with members of the State Executive Committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at the party’s secretariat in Yenagoa.

A statement by his Special Adviser on Media Relations, Fidelis Soriwei, on Tuesday, quoted the governor as having noted that the election would hold on the 10th of August as scheduled by the State Independent Electoral Commission (SIEC).

Governor Dickson, who acknowledged the APC’s right to boycott the election, however stressed that the party lacked the popularity and the capacity to challenge the PDP under his leadership in a free and fair election devoid of federal intervention.

He stressed that the APC was in no position to contest the upcoming governorship election if it could not demonstrate its strength in the council election.

Dickson, who said that the PDP would embark on robust campaigns across the state, expressed confidence that all the local government councillorship and chairmanship candidates of the PDP would emerge victorious.

His words, “I understand that some parties are boycotting the council election especially the APC, but that’s their own right. But we expected them to show their strength in this state in an election that does not have much to do with federal might.

“We thought they would take advantage of this election to show their real strength on ground, but unfortunately they chickened out. The party that is now running away even from council election, let’s see the fire they have in their stomach.

“I urge all our party leaders and members to resist the temptation both within and mostly from outside the state where people want to interfere. Our party

has always built a party of inclusion to weather all the storms that we have seen in the politics of this state and in our country.

Dickson emphasised that the PDP would not be distracted in view of the antics of some mischief makers to undermine it.

He called on party leaders and members to always protect the overall interest of the PDP and the state in all their dealings.

“Leaders and members of our party should reflect deeply on the consequences of what we do, say and the kind of politics we play bearing in mind the overall interest of the party, the state and Ijaw nation.

“I urge party members to follow developments closely ahead of the elections. I have done my best in the past seven years; you all should be prepared to make your input.”

The governor also expressed appreciation to party stakeholders over the implementation of the 30% affirmative action for women representation at the local government level, promising that those who stepped down for them would be accommodated.

In his remarks, the state PDP Chairman, Hon. Moses Cleopas said the PDP remains indivisible and focused, stating that sale of nomination forms for the governorship election has commenced.

Highpoint of the meeting was the ratification of the results of the local government congresses to be forwarded to the SIEC for the election.

Also, Chief Victor Sam- Ateki from Ward 1, Brass Local Government Area was nominated as Deputy Chairman of the party in line with the party’s constitution following the resignation of the former occupant of the position.

Member representing Sagbama/ Ekeremor Constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Fred Agbedi, Chairman of the Elders Committee of PDP and member of the Board of Trustees, Air Vice Marshall Larry Koinyan (Retd), former Speaker and PDP Secretary of the South-South zone, Rt. Hon. Boyelayefa Debekeme, Speaker of the State Assembly, Rt. Hon. Tonye Isenah were among the party leaders at the meeting.

The Buhari Media Organisation (BMO), has condemned the recent protests by some persons claiming to be All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders against some trusted aides of President Muhammadu Buhari especially his Chief of staff, Malam Abba Kyari.

Describing the protest as illthought, needless and unfortunate, the BMO also distanced its members from the protest at Kyari’s official residence.

The group in a statement signed by its Chairman, Niyi Akinsiju and Secretary, Cassidy Madueke said that the protesters were people with little or no understanding of President Buhari and how he works.

It said: “We wish to dissociate the Buhari Media Organisation from the recent protest at the Defence House, by persons calling for the resignation of the Chief of Staff to the President, Malam Abba Kyari.

We did not sanction or support those protests including interviews

on various media platforms, neither do we subscribe to the mission of the protesters and their sponsors.

“Malam Kyari as Chief of Staff to the President has brought sublime sophistication to the dispensation of his duties; he has given his best dutifully, and has been instrumental to the many successes of the Buhari administration.

“A decision by the President to retain him – if he so wishes – is one we cannot object to, but rather endorse wholeheartedly.

“We have no doubt that those who took to the streets against a key player in the Buhari administration are sponsored elements who can best be described as meddlesome interlopers.”

BMO said contrary to the position of the protesters and their sponsors, the Chief of Staff is one individual with a pedigree “Here is a man with academic background in Sociology and Law from two of the best universities in the world, but later veered into Banking where he rose to the highest position in one of Nigeria’s most influential banks, United

Bank for Africa Plc. (UBA).

“The Cambridge-trained lawyer who once worked for the law firm of Fani-Kayode and Sowemimo had never been a politician, but had since 2015 successfully implemented the agenda of President Buhari.

“So we are amused that some people somewhere could insinuate that the President is being controlled by his employee or anybody in the Presidency by whatever name they chose to call them.

“The President we know is his own man and we have his authority to say that the buck stops on his table.

“It is all about political appointments, but our message to those blackmailers is that only President Buhari will exercise his right to choose who he wants to work with in his second term in office and he would do that at the appointed time,” it added.

The group consequently urged Nigerians to ignore any suggestion by the protesters of a President whose every action is determined by a shadowy clique.

Edo politics: HURIWA cautions Oshiomhole against interfering in Obaseki’s govt A pro-democracy and civil rights advocacy organisation, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), has cautioned the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, Adams Oshiomhole, to stay away from the governance of Edo State and allow his successor in office, Godwin Obaseki, to concentrate and deliver democracy dividends to the people.

Besides, the pro-democracy group said it was not in the place of the Chairman of a political party to dish out orders to either the state governor of Bauchi, Alhaji Bala Mohammed, or the state legislature on how to carry on the duties of the legislative arm of government.

In a statement by the National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, and National Media Affairs Director, Zainab Yusuf, HURIWA described as an act of political rascality and grandstanding the purported ‘directive’ by Oshiomhole to the Inspector General of Police, Alhaji Mohammed Adamu, to seal up the legislative complexes of both the Bauchi and Edo States Houses of Assembles following disagreements amongst the lawmakers.

HURIWA lamented that Oshiomhole has been allowed by the powers that be a free reign to continue to create a general climate

of political instability and impunity, just as the Rights group told the politician that enough is enough.

The group said: “This was the same unsavory and undemocratic role played by this same overbearing autocrat and chairman of the ruling party, Mr. Adams Oshiomhole just before the close of the last session of National Assembly which culminated in the widely reprehensible and criminal invasion of the National Assembly in a bid to impeach then Senate President Bukola Saraki by 100 hooded armed operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) under the direct instructions of the APC’s hierarchy to the disgraced Director General of DSS, Malam Lawal Daura.

“This action of the DSS which followed persistent pressures by Adam Oshiomhole amounted to a coup attempt which offends section 1(2) of the 1999 constitution which states that the Federal Republic of Nigeria shall not be governed nor shall any person or group of persons take control of the government of Nigeria or any part thereof, except in accordance with the provisions of this constitution.

“As a civil rights body, we hereby call on all Nigerians to mount pressure on the national chairman of All Progressives Congress to compel him to stop over heating the polity with his brand of

cantankerous and totalitarian politics which he has now taken to his home state of Edo where he governed for eight years without any overbearing political godfather breathing down his neck the same way he now goes about attacking and trying to dictate to the chief executive and governor of Edo State, Mr. Godwin Nogheghase Obaseki.

“We think that the reason Mr. Adams Oshiomhole is emboldened to constitute a high political nuisance to his successor and to lots of other political gladiators all across Nigeria including the newly inaugurated governor of Bauchi State is because the antigraft commission refused to act on a petition alleging widespread corruption against the national chairman of APC when he was governor of Edo state.

“It is this policy of impunity at the highest levels that has motivated the likes of Oshiomhole to continue to dabble into the domestic political affairs of some states behaving like an emperor who can’t be called to order or tamed. He must be told to respect the principle of rule of law and restrict himself to his part time assignments as a party chairman.

National party chairman does not enjoy the power of oversight functions over governors,” the group said.

LASU VC warns staff, students on insecurity around campus Esther Taiwo Vice Chancellor of Lagos State University (LASU) Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, has once again brought to the fore the present challenge of insecurity around the campus.

In a press release signed by Head, Centre For Information, Press & Public Relations, CIPPR, Mr. Ademola Adekoya, Prof. Fagbohun said the University Administration is particularly concerned with recent untoward events around Iyana-Iba ,PPL and Iba axis.

According to the release, the VC said that the University management is already interfacing with security agencies and the state government on how to further protect the premises and members of the LASU Community.

In the release, Prof. Fagbohun stated further that the Chief Security Officer will again re-circulate emergency phone numbers that will be of great help to all while warning all to continue to recognise that security of lives and properties is a joint responsibility.

“We as members of the LASU Community must support our men and women in uniform who toil day and night to keep our campuses safe from harm. We must also be vigilant and share timely intelligence reports with the security unit,” he said.

In another development, Chairman, United Bank for Africa (UBA) and Heirs Holdings, Mr. Tony Elumelu, has called for a total overhaul of the academic curriculum of Accounting and Finance Degrees in the country if graduates of the course are to be able to meet the requirements for jobs in the modern finance sector.

He made this submission during his Lecture at the Faculty of Management Sciences Annual Guest Lecture, which held at the Aderemi Makanjuola Lecture Theatre, Main Campus, Ojo , recently.

“I will like to propose an overhaul of the curriculum to accommodate these. The academic should go beyond churning out finance and accounting graduates on a yearly basis to building ready-to-market finance professionals thoroughly equipped for modern finance functions, “ he said.

Speaking on the topic ‘The Future of Finance-Technology at Play’, Elumelu also charged young professionals to adapt to changing trends in the ever evolving world of technology or risk becoming relevant.

“As finance graduates and professionals, we need to be aware that it is no longer business as usual and with the fast-changing landscape, it will never be business as usual. Traditional knowledge of finance is getting stale in today’s business world and indeed there is dire need for retooling our skills if we must remain relevant in tomorrow’s financial world,” he said.

The Vice Chancellor, Lagos State University, Prof. Olanrewaju Fagbohun, represented by the Deputy Vice Chancellor, Administration, Prof.

Oyedamola Oke, in his address, noted that the topic was apt at this time.

He said: “This forum will avail us the opportunity to learn more about the concept of growth mind-set and demonstrate the increasing need for us all to learn and re-learn continually, as new technologies replace old skills and knowledge”

Nigeria requires more open learning centres for human devt – Okebukola Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin

Former Executive Secretary, National Universities Commission (NUC), Prof.

Peter Okebukola, says Nigeria must double its Open Learning Centres to address high demand for education and human development.

Okebukola said this on Tuesday in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

According to the former NUC boss, the population of the country is not commensurate with the number of students seeking admission into tertiary institutions.

“We need to double our Open Learning Centres in the next five years to be able to cope with the demand and high education participation rate.

“We are about 200 million in

Nigeria and we only have space for about 600,000 students in the regular university and for the National Open University of Nigeria, it is about one million.

“The number is small, it is a drop in the ocean,” Okebukola said.

He said Nigeria has only eleven approved open distance learning centres operating under the National Open University of Nigeria presently.

“Nigerians generally tend to underrate the quality of education in virtual schools, this is not synonymous with the country, it is a global issue,” he said.

He emphasised that the NUC made sure there is strict regulations and guidelines to ensure quality in the local open learning centres to make them compete with others globally.

“Distance learning acceptance is not only poor in Nigeria but it is all over the world because people think that there is little rigour but they are not aware there is rigour.

“It is true that there is no rigour in the daily class activities, lecturer and students interaction but there is rigour to diminish the gap to quality,” he said.

He, however, said authorities of virtual institutions needed to improve facilitation of the learning process, give students the experience that they are attending a school.

“You need to give students the experience of knowing the other members of the class of discipline so that at the end of the training, they are better than their face to face in school counterparts,” he said.

UI International School Hijab crisis: Court strikes out fundamental human rights suit The Oyo State High Court in Ibadan struck out a fundamental human rights suit challenging the refusal of the University of Ibadan (UI) International School Ibadan (ISI) to allow female Muslim students wear hijabs on their school uniform.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the suit was filed by some parents of female Muslim students in the school on behalf of their children.

Delivering his ruling on Tuesday, Justice Laniran Akintola , said the originating summons of the applicants contravened the provisions of the constitution of Nigeria.

Akintola said that the provisions of the constitution does not allow filling of a joint action in a fundamental human rights suit.

The judge held that the section of the constitution on fundamental human rights, allows separate filling of an action on the matter.

He upheld the preliminary objections filed by Mr. AbdulAziz Jimoh, one of the counsel to respondents in the matter, and struck out the suit.

Earlier, Jimoh had moved a preliminary objection which was not objected to by the applicants’ counsel, Mr. Sulayman Alabi.

NAN reports that the applicants who sued the institution on behalf

of their children are Mr Taofeek Yekinni, Idris Badiru, Sikiru Babarinde,Muideen Akerele, Abdur-rahman Balogun and nine others.

The respondents in the matter are the University of Ibadan, School Principal, Mrs Phebean Olowe, the Chairman, Board of Governors, Prof. Abideen Aderinto and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academics) office and three others.

It would be recalled that ISI had banned female Muslims students in the school from wearing hijab on their school uniform and the female Muslims student had protested against the decision as a violation on their fundamental human right.

Court jails randy senior Pastor 7 years for rape Andrew Orolua, Abuja Justice Hussain Baba-Yusuf of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory on Tuesday sentenced Senior Pastor Basil Princewill whose original name is (Friday Ifeanyi) the Founder and General Overseer of Mountain Mover Fire Ministry International, Nyanya Abuja to seven years imprisonment for raping a 14-year old girl, Favour Iwuoha.

Delivering judgement on the four count charge, the court found Pastor Princewill guilty on counts 1 and 3, but discharged and acquitted him on counts 2 and 4.

It convicted him and accordingly sentenced the convict to seven years imprisonment for rape and five years for attempted abortion .

Justice Yusuf held that ‘’it is bad for a person to indulge in this kind of devilish act. ‘’Those who are supposed to be men of God are expected to be highly religious, exhibit decency and act as role models to their followers.

He said that considering the interest of the girl, the interest of the public and the rising cases of rape in the Church by those who serve in the Lord’s vineyard, the court has duty to send signal to the public to serve as deterrent to others.

Justice Baba Yusuf said the behaviour of the randy pastor was ‘’despicable, shameful, degrading and satanic’’. ‘’By this conduct, the accused deserves to be taken to prison wall like a monastery until he changes to a better man of God. It is more worrisome especially when a person in question is looked up to as a man of God. Consequently, the court sentenced Pastor Princewill to 7 years imprisonment for raping and defiling a 14 year girl (Favour) and 5 years sentence for attempting to abort the resultant pregnancy.

He said however that the sentences are to run concurrently.

Count one bordered on rape while count three was borders on his attempt to cause miscarriage on the girl, by giving her drugs to take in order to abort the resultant pregnancy.

The incident took place on July 27, 2011 to 31st December 2011.

Pastor Princewill was arraigned on an amended charge dated 22nd September 2017.

Justice Baba Yusuf, said that from the evidence of PW1 (the victim’s Mother); that of PW2 (the victim) and the PW3 (Dr Ogunlade Felix), the accused perpetrated the act of rape ‘’under the pretence of carrying out deliverance and cleansing on the girl on July 27, 2011.

The court said it believed the evidence of PW1 (victim mother), PW2 (the victim)and PW3

Abiodun Agbele, an aide of the former governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fasoye has told the Federal High in Abuja that he handed the sum of N1.2billion cash to former minister of state for Defence Musiliu Obanikoro.

He stated this in his testimony at the on going trial before Justice Nnamdi Dimgba over N1.2 billion slush fund said to have illegally deployed in the build up to the Ekiti governorship election in 2014.

Convicted Pastor Basil Praisewill being consoled in the dock by his lawyer Sunday Kekereapeh on Tuesday.

Dr Ogunlade) who carried out the evacuation because, ‘’the PW2 was very detailed on what happened to her in the accused pastor’s office and same evidence was corroborated by PW1. ‘’I am impressed by the testimonies of PW1 and PW2; I believe PW2’s story of how the accused raped her. ‘’The accused did not deny the fact that he invited the 14-year girl to his office for deliverance and cleansing and the fact that he gave postnor to the girl to take, the court said.

According to Justice Baba Yusuf, ‘’I believe PW2 that on July 27, 2011, the Pastor in the guise of deliverance, took advantage of the girl by having sex with her.

The court noted that the act of ‘’slapping the girl constitutes act of threat to hurt her.

Justice Baba Yusuf said the fact that the accused took Favour to Fountain Head Medical Centre Nyanya without her mother consent was an indication that he knew something about the pregnancy.

More so, the court said it did not believe the testimony of the accused, stressing that apart from being full of contradiction, it was different from the testimony he gave at the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Person (NAPTIP) office . ‘’I find it difficult to believe the accuse person’s incoherency, riddle puzzled testimony. ‘’Evidence of PW1 about what PW2 told her is direct and positive evidence, and not hearsay. ‘’Defence of the accused is not tenable and is

therefore rejected. Prove of case of rape against the accused is sustained, the court held.

Count one said, ‘’That you Pastor Basil Princewill ‘Male’ 33 years of No. 5 Movers Avenue Nyanya , Abuja on or about 27th JUN, 2011 to 31st, December, 2011 at Mountain Mover Fire Ministry International and your house in Nyanya, Abuja within the jurisdiction of this court raped one Miss Favour Iwuoha ‘female’ 14 years by forcefully having sexual intercourse with her against her consent having put her in fear of hurt and when you impregnated her, you gave her drugs to take and abort the pregnancy but when the drug caused her bleeding, you took her to Fountain Head Medical Centre Nyanya where you paid Dr Felix Ogunlade to procure abortion on her and thereby committed an offence contrary to section 282 and punishable under section 283 of the Penal Code.

Count three states, ‘’That you Apostle Basil Princewill ‘Male’ 33 Years of No.5 Movers Ayenue Nyanya Abuja on or about January, 2012, at Nyanya within the Jurisdiction of this court, attempted to cause miscarriage When you gave miss Favour Iwuoha Female, 14years drugs to take and abort the pregnancy you gave her which resulted to her bleeding with knowledge that miscarriage will be the consequence of your act and thereafter you took her to Fountain Head Medical Centre Nyanya where you paid Money and miscarriage was carried out on her. You thereby committed an offence contrary to section 95 of the Penal Code.

Agbele also narrated how he coordinated the movement of the huge sum of money.n Counsel to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Wahab Shittu in continuation of the trial called a fresh witness Damola Otuyalo, a former head of cash and transit ,Diamond bank PLC,who gave a vivid account of how the alleged sum was moved out of the local wing of the Lagos Airport and eventually handed over to Obanikoro.

According to Otuyalo, they arranged 65 big bags known as jumbo bags, content of which was money.

He said they waited for some time before they could be able to off-load the cash from the aircraft.

The witness said his director called him on phone and asked him to hand over the cash to Mr. Musiliu Obanikoro.

He identified exhibit AA13,a copy of the instruction given to him by his director to pass the money to Obanikoro . The instruction sheet was admitted in evidence.

Justice Dimgba adjourned the matter to October 4, 2019 for continuation.

Presidential tribunal refuses HDP’s motion to bring more witnesses Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Presidential Election Petition Tribunal sitting in Abuja on the petitions challenging the February 23, 2019 election victory of President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday refused an application by the Hope Democratic Party (HDP), to call additional witness in support of its petition against Buhari election.

whose petition appeared to have ran into some hitches following attempts by a factional leader to withdraw the name of the party from the petition had applied for additional witnesses hoping it would make up for some of its witnesses who had defected to the opposing faction.

The five-member panel of justices presided by Justice Mohammed Garba unanimously ruled that the application constitutes a substantial alteration of the petition as provided in the Electoral Act, 2010 Paragraphs 14(1) and (2) of the First Schedule.

Justice Garba said that having brought the application

outside the 21 days of filing the petition on May 15, 2019, it cannot be granted.

He however granted the first prayer of the party requesting to correct clerical errors in the letters contained in their petition.

Meanwhile , the tribunal on Tuesday said it will communicate to the parties a date for its ruling on the application brought by factional chairman of Hope Democratic Party , Chief Poland Awini Tapre who has asked the tribunal to remove the party name from the petition filed by Chief Owuru.

The Nigeria Police has deployed dogs known as the K9 assets to all railway stations across the country.

The Inspector General of Police Mohammed Adamu disclosed this on Tuesday at the formal flag off of trained dogs deployment.

He said that the initiative is within the context of Operation Puff Adder and “it is planned to compliment the existing security measures emplaced for the security and safety of passengers and critical infrastructure of the Nigeria Railway Corporation across the country.”

According to him, the deployment of special breed and exceptionally-trained police dogs for security duties is as old as human civilization. Hence, their utilization in combating crimes and sundry internal security threats in the 21st century cannot be over emphasized.

He said that indeed, K9 are known to possess extra-ordinary capacity for detection of Improvised Explosives Devices (IEDs), narcotics and other illicit drugs, firearms and other prohibited items which criminals usually engage for the perfection of their criminal activities.

The deployment of Police dogs is therefore meant for detection or prevention crimes along the railway corridors. Their brief shall be for patrols, surveillance, detection and apprehension of felons in and around railway facilities.

IGP Adamu said Nigeria Police have one of the most equipped, experienced, highlytrained, and functional K9 Section. They also have commendable antecedent of successful anti-crime, crowd control and civil disorder management operations in the country.

Indeed, it is on record that the Nigeria Police Force Animal Branch has been instrumental to the training and development of similar branches for other security agencies in the country.

He said that police planned to maximize its unique K9 strength to complement other sections as part of the broad policing architecture which we recently emplaced towards addressing our internal security challenges.

It will be recalled that prior to this time, about one thousand additional police personnel were deployed to the Nigeria Police railway Command. This unprecedented deployment was designed to address the manpower gap of the Command and reposition them to address vulnerabilities, projected threats, and security challenges which the increasing human traffic and expanding assets of the Nigeria Railway Corporation may present, he added.

He assured that all the assets of the Police shall continually be mobilized and deployed towards denying criminal elements of any space to operate in any location in the country.

He said police will continue to encourage all citizens to embrace the concept of ‘if you see something, say something’. Indeed, our appeal now is ‘if you suspect something, say something’. This is a civil obligation of all citizens and this is the most potent weapon towards collectively winning the war against elements bent on threatening our security.

Ahmed Lawan, Festus Adedayo and the APC mob

VOL. 3

NO. 975

Times Guest Columnist

By Reuben Abati

Senator Ahmed Lawan is the incumbent Senate President of Nigeria, having won the election into that office, 79 -28, beating his rival, Senator Ali Ndume of the same ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Lawan was the anointed candidate of his party, the APC, but he worked hard to negotiate with and secure the support of other members of the Senate across party lines. He secured a bi-partisan victory in such a convincing manner that has caused turmoil in the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), Nigeria’s main opposition party. The PDP has since ordered an investigation into how its National Assembly members voted contrary to the party’s directives. The PDP must pursue that course with extreme caution in order not to shoot itself in the foot. But what has Ahmed Lawan done with his victory and what have been the fall-outs?

Immediately after his declaration and inauguration as Senate President of the 9th National Assembly on June 11, he and his equally “anointed” Deputy, Senator Ovie Omo-Agege went straight to the Aso Rock Presidential Villa to pay homage to President Muhammadu Buhari.

When they got there, Ovie OmoAgege whose role in the 8thNational Assembly was controversial knelt down before the President as if he was in front of a demigod. In Africa, some Presidents consolidate power so much in their persons, that people actually worship them. Ovie-Agege knelt down; Nigerians cried out in criticism. I didn’t join that needless outcry, because from the looks on Omo-Agege’s face, he came across like the kind of guy who would even have preferred to prostrate before the President, and if he was asked to jump up in the air, he would gladly have done so. It is part of African culture to pay respects to elders, but a “Kabiyesi syndrome” as poet laureate Niyi Osundare once put it, persists in Nigerian politics. Men and women of power are treated like monarchs and there is never a short supply of acolytes, relying on culture and custom, curtsying and genuflecting, masking what is in reality, opportunistic sycophancy.

Ahmed Lawan’s first act in office (his urgent and prompt visit to the Presidential Villa) became an issue because he had promised that he would not run a rubber-stamp Senate, and that the 9thNational Assembly (the Senate President is the Chairman of the National Assembly) under his watch, while seeking a harmonious and qualitative relationship with the Executive arm of government, would act only strictly in the interest of the Nigerian people and in line with the legislature’s Constitutional mandate. Rushing off to go and

“kiss” the President’s feet, just hours after being inaugurated didn’t send the right signals to an observant public. The newly elected Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives would soon follow in tow, but those ones at least allowed one or two days to pass. The dynamics of power in African democracies more or less subordinates one arm of government to the other, structurally and unjustifiably, but the sad part is how those who should ensure the integrity of spaces wilfully violate them.

Shortly after President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration was inaugurated for a second term on May 29, 2019, his first assignment in office was to jet off to Saudi Arabia for a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Barely 10 days before then, he was shown observing the Umrah (lesser hajj) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The incumbent Senate President, Ahmed Lawan and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila have both followed in the President’s footsteps, visiting Saudi Arabia, either before or after their emergence as heads of the National Assembly.

The number of trips that have been made to Saudi Arabia by the Nigerian ruling elite, before, during and after the 2019 general elections deserves an independent and rigorous study of its own for all its connotations.

These trips are not limited to religious observances. There have been reports of interactions with Saudi officials.

Even Christian officials working for the Buhari administration have had to visit Saudi Arabia, decked in traditional Saudi garbs. For more than the reasons of spiritual pilgrimage, Saudi Arabia has always been Nigeria’s strategic partner, but the kind of Saudi Arabian sycophancy that the current government has been demonstrating is the most bizarre that I have seen. Our embassy in Saudi Arabia must be the busiest mission that we have. Were Saudi Arabia to allow dual citizenship, many of our political leaders would have since joined the queue to beg for Saudi citizenship. For now, they have just turned it into their second London and they go and return, and do not fail to flaunt the trips in our face.

But whereas, we may cite the aforementioned illustrations as evidence of Senator Ahmed Lawan’s attempts to be like the boss, he eventually took a significant step to assert his independence and demonstrate that he has a mind of his own. The fact that he abandoned that attempt in the face of harassment and intimidation, indeed his cowardice in the face of pressure, and how that could well be a sad indication of what to expect, is the bigger point of

this commentary. Six days ago, the Senate President Ahmed Lawan, unlike President Buhari, “hit the ground running” by announcing the appointment of his aides. President Buhari is yet to appoint any personal or official aide. His former aides continue to work for him by conduct in utter violation of Sections 151 and 171 of the Constitution. Lawan took the right step of announcing his aides.

He retained three media aides who worked with his predecessor, Senator Bukola Saraki - Senate President of the 8thNational Assembly. These are Mohammed Isa, special assistant on media and publicity, Olu Onemola, special assistant on new media, and Tope Brown, special legislative assistant on photography. He retained another Saraki aide: Dr. Betty Okoroh. He further announced Dr. Festus Adedayo, former Special Adviser Media to former Governor Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu State) and Senator Abiola Ajimobi (Oyo State), and a journalist with the Nigerian Tribune newspapers as his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity.

By retaining former aides of Senator Bukola Saraki, a former Senate President who had been declared persona non grata by the Presidency and the ruling APC, Lawan was obviously looking at continuity.

He didn’t want to start his career as Senate President on a tabula rasa. It helps to have in place persons with institutional memory who may know where all the corpses in the office are buried. Part of the problem we have in the governance process in Nigeria is that every new person who assumes an office believes that the first thing to do is to get rid of staff who may have worked with the predecessor and who may still be loyal to that predecessor. Lawan took the moral high ground. He showed confidence by re-appointing some of the persons who worked with Bukola Saraki.

Then, he chose as the head of his media team, a man who has been very critical of the Buhari administration and even of him. By Adedayo’s account himself, Lawan said he was looking for a man who could get the job done. Certainly, Festus Adedayo has the experience and the skills to deliver on the job. When I was approached about two years ago to provide a shortlist of persons who could act as spokesperson for a government agency, he was one of the top favourites on the short list that I submitted. Festus Adedayo has the know-how, the intellectual heft, the street wisdom, the personality, and the courage to do a job that I consider, in retrospect, the most suicidal job in government.

AFCON: I hope Super Eagles’ injuries, sicknesses benefit us to win – Guinea coach Guinea head coach Paul Put says his team have what it takes to beat three-time African champions, the Super Eagles in Wednesday’s AFCON 2019/Group B clash at the Alexandria Stadium, and hopes too that the Nigerian team’s current injury and sickness situation will aid their victory.

The Syli Nationale are looking to record their first win in the competition after holding debutants Madagascar to a 2-2 draw in their first game at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt on Saturday.

The Super Eagles who have some of the continent’s best talented stars in their squad are one of the favourites to win the competition alongside hosts Egypt, Senegal and Morocco.

Put, who managed the Burkina Faso side that lost 1-0 to Nigeria in the final of AFCON 2013 in South Africa is upbeat on the chances of his team against the Super Eagles.

“It’s an interesting tie, and we will do all in our power to secure the win. We have to be realistic though, we have to be focused as well and I am very confident about my team’s chances. I’m counting on my players and we

will do what ever it takes to win,” Put told a news conference at the Alexandria Stadium on Tuesday.

“I hope Nigeria’s troubles with injuries and sickness plays into our hands. Maybe it’s a good sign for us.

“Nigeria are a great team with good individual players and they have achieved great results. It is always a good thing and a big motivation to play against big teams like them.”

Put also blamed his goalkeeper for the goals the team conceded against Madagascar and declared that they must play a perfect game to beat Nigeria.

“Against Madagascar, our goalkeeper was more to blame than our defence. I’m not saying we didn’t make individual errors, but both goals we conceded had more to do with goalkeeping errors than defenders’ mistakes.

“My experience might not count for much tomorrow, but I’ll try to use what I’ve learnt in the previous AFCON tournament I have competed in. The Super Eagles have no real weaknesses and we will need a perfect game to beat them.”

Super Eagles agree to train ahead of Guinea game Super Eagles players have agreed to train ahead of their match against Guinea on Wednesday.

The team’s training time has already been changed to 5.30 with the team expected to

leave their Helnan Palace Hotel in Alexandria for the training ground at 4.30pm.

Latest report on the protest says that dollar conversion contributed to the delay in paying the players.

To be concluded next week
