In a unanimous ruling, the tribunal held that Atiku and PDP application was brought out of the time allowed by law, therefore, it lacked merit, adding that the petitioners cannot be allowed to reopen arguments especially to file counter affidavit to the objection raised

Presidential tribunal dismisses Atiku...

Continued from page 1

to the petition filed by Atiku and PDP challenging President Muhammadu Buhari election victory of February 23, 2019, the APC had through its counsel, Prince Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), filed a motion dated May 15 in which it prayed the tribunal to strike out the entire petition on the ground that the petitioners did not comply with relevant laws.

Fagbemi (SAN), had on June 11, while moving the motion, prayed the tribunal, in the alternative, to strike out several paragraphs in Atiku’s petition that were vague allegations not supported by law.

Besides, APC listed 10 states contained in Atiku petition where specific allegations unknown to law were made as Borno, Yobe, Niger, Katsina, Bauchi, Jigawa, Kaduna, Kanu, Gombe and Kebbi States.

Although, Atiku and PDP legal team led by Dr. Levi Uzoukwu (SAN) filed a notice of objection to the APC application, the team however failed to file counter affidavit to deny the averments made by APC in its motion.

In the bid to rectify the error, Atiku counsel after the tribunal reserved its ruling on the APC motion, brought an application praying the tribunal to set aside the proceedings of June 11

where the APC unchallenged motion was heard.

The PDP legal team claimed that Atiku and PDP were denied right to fair hearing as the APC created confusion when it withdrew its motion filed May 14 that they had responded to and opted for the motion of May 15 on same issue.

The team urged the tribunal to allow them to reopen argument and to grant them leave to file counter affidavit against the APC motion.

But in his ruling, Justice Mohammed Garba said that there is evidence in the court record that the petitioners/ applicant were not denied fair hearing.

He also ruled that the objection filed Atiku and PDP to the APC motion is still life contrary to the submission of APC that it has been abandoned.

Justice Garba held that it was established beyond doubt that Atiku’s legal team was served with APCs motion on May 16, a day after it was filed and that it was a fatal error and mistake for Atiku’s team to have chosen and elected to file only notice of objection but refused to file counter affidavit as required by law to dispute the claims of the APC. Justice Garba further ruled that the proceedings of June 11 as they relate to the APCs motion challenging the competence

of Atiku petition cannot be set aside by the tribunal because the applicant did not provide cogent and verifiable reasons necessary for the grant of such a request.

“We agreed that the court has the power to exercise discretion but in the instant case, the discretion has to be exercised judicially and judiciously and since the petitioner in this matter did not advance cogent and verifiable reasons for exercising discretion in his favour, we hereby refuse to do so,” Justice Garba ruled.

Meanwhile, the tribunal has shifted ruling in all the applications challenging Atiku and PDP petition till the day it will deliver final judgment on the petition.

Justice Garba said the tribunal took the decision shifting the ruling on the eight applications because they are challenging the competence of the petition.

Also on Wednesday, the presidential election petition tribunal presented the report of its pre- hearing session on the petition filed by Atiku and PDP detailing all that transpired during the pre -hearing session.

Justice Garba said that with the report, the pre-hearing sessions have come to an end.

He therefore announced that as from today (Thursday), the hearing of the main petition will begin.

PDP rejects Gbajabiamila’s attempt to impose minority leadership

Henry Omunu & Tunde Opalana, Abuja The House of Representatives on Tuesday witnessed a rowdy session following disagreements over the announcements of principal officers of the minority parties in the House.

Speaker Femi Gbajabiamila had informed the House that he has received a letter from the joint leadership of the minority parties informing him of their choice of leaders.

As the speaker proceeded to read the letter aloud, a PDP House member, Rep. Kingsley Chinda raised a point of order citing Order 6 (II) of the House rules, insisting that it is the sole responsibility of the leadership of the minority party to nominate and submit the names of its principal officers to the House.

Rep. Chinda stated that “our practice has never been the collating of signatures of members to appoint the officers.

I’ll plead that the speaker suspends the letter.”

Responding, the speaker cited Rule 14 of the House which entails the eligibility of any House members who desires to be a principal officer, asserting that the nomination of the minority principal officers does not belong to only the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), but other parties in the House.

And to this end, he ruled Chinda out of order.

But, while attempting to announce the names of the minority principal officers from the letter in his possession, some members attempted to snatch the mace resulting in a counter-measure by members of the House in favour of the speaker’s action to read out the controversial letter.

In spite of the resultant commotion caused by the attempt to snatch and protect the mace, Speaker Gbajabiamila announced Rep. Ndudi Elumelu (PDP/Delta) as minority leader, Rep. Tobi Okechukwu as deputy minority leader, Rep. Gwani Gideon as minority whip and Rep. Adekoya Segun as deputy minority whip.

Briefing newsmen shortly after plenary, Rep. Chinda led a group protesting PDP House members insisting that the list of minority principal officers to both the Senate and the House of Representatives has been forwarded to the Senate and House by the leadership of the party.

They therefore, disowned the names announced by Speaker Gbajabiamila, adding that “we are not aware of the letter and the names contained in it; two letters were written by the PDP leadership, one to the Senate and one to the House of Representatives, the Senate complied and we expected the speaker to comply too.”

He disclosed that in the PDP letter, he was nominated as

minority leader Rep. Chukwuka Onyema as his deputy while Yakubu Barde was nominated as minority whip with Rep. Ajibade Muriana as deputy minority whip.

On his part, Rep. Ndudi Elumelu argued that the minority positions in the House belong to nine political parties that make up the minority and not the PDP alone.

He cited Order 7, rules 8 of the House of Representatives rule book to buttress his claims, insisting that the speaker did the right thing by announcing the minority principal officers explaining that 111 members from nine political parties elected them.

While apologising to Nigerians on what happened on the floor of the House, Rep. Elumelu reiterated that his group remains loyal to the PDP, but stressed that they acted according to the rules of the House.

Also reacting to the incident, the House ad hoc Committee on Media insisted that the speaker acted according to the House rules as contained in Order 7, rule 8.

In a related development, a member elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, Rep. Bugaji Kazaure, in his reaction, appealed to the party not to interfere in the nomination of majority principal officers to avoid the crisis generated by the announcement of minority

Ruga settlement: Buhari orders suspension of scheme Mathew Dadiya, Andrew Orolua, Abuja & Moses Oyediran, Enugu

President Muhammadu Buhari has directed that the implementation of the controversial Ruga settlement project be suspended till further notice.

Chairman, Committee on Farmers / Herders Crisis, Governor David Umahi, disclosed this on Wednesday after the emergency meeting of the National Economic Council (NEC) chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Umahi said that President Buhari has asked them to suspend the programme considering the controversies its introduction has caused.

However, he confirmed that the suspension of the Ruga programme was to enable the Federal Ministry of agriculture, state governments and other stakeholders to review the programme taking into consideration the concerns of Nigerians.

According to him, the suspension is owing to lack of consistency with the NEC and Federal Government approved national livestock transformation plan which has programmes of rehabilitation of displaced IDPs resulting from the crisis and development of ranching in any willing state.

The NEC said it is not compulsory and any state willing is required to set up a development plan towards the implementation in line with the NEC programme based on the challenges inherent there.

Those at the meeting were governors of Ebonyi, Dave Umahi, Plateau, Simon Lalong and Kebbi, Atiku Bagudu.

The council said: “We the NEC committee on farmers/ herders crisis under the chairmanship of HE Mr. Vice President met today (Wednesday) to deliberate on the approved programme of National Economic Council (NEC) and Federal Government tagged, “the National Livestock Transformation Programme.

“We are aware that today that Mr. President has suspended the implementation of Ruga programme, initiated and being implemented by the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources, because it is not consistent with the NEC and Federal Government approved National Livestock Transformation plan which has programmes of rehabilitation of displaced IDPs, resulting from the crisis and also development of ranches in any willing state of the Federation. The word is willing state of the federation.

“The National Livestock Transformation plan, its beauty is that what NEC and FG approved is a voluntary programme to all the 36 states who may like to participate. So, it is not

compulsory, it is for any state that is willing, will key into the programme.

“Any state that is interested in this programme is required to bring up a development plan that is keyed towards the implementation in line with our own programme here that is unique to his state based on the challenges that he has in respect of the crisis. That’s the decision of this committee.”

Meanwhile, the Igbo apex sociocultural organisation, Ohaneze Ndigbo has rejected the proposed Federal Government Ruga settlement and warned it to steer clear of Igboland in that regard.

The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation also urged the South East governors to stick to their earlier rejection of the scheme.

It further warned traditional rulers, town union presidents, communities and individuals in the South East to be wary of lures, overtures and mouthwatering offers intended to induce them part with their land in the guise of industrial ventures.

In a strongly worded statement signed issued on Wednesday by the president general of the organisation, Chief John Nnia Nwodo, the organisation said: “The attempt by the Federal Government to foist RUGA settlements on the country has met stiff resistance from some states.

“Consequently, the protagonists of the scheme are now said to be trying to use clandestine moves to surreptitiously bring it into dissenting states through the back door.

“Ohaneze Ndigbo Worldwide once more restates its objection to the RUGA scheme in Igboland and urges the South East state governments to stick to their earlier decision to reject the scheme.

“Ohaneze Ndigbo also warns traditional rulers, Town Union Presidents, Communities and individuals in the South East to be wary of lures, overtures and mouthwatering offers intended to induce them to part with their land ostensibly for industrial ventures but disguised approaches to obtain land for RUGA settlements.

“Ohaneze further warned that Ndigbo will not forgive any government, community or individual that falls into this trap and will collectively resist any such move.”

Also, the board of the Incorporated Trustees of Malcolm Omirhobo Foundation has dragged the Federal Government before the Federal High Court, Abuja praying it to declare its introduction of RUGA settlements schemes in the states for Fulani herdsmen illegal and unconstitutional.

In a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/761/2019 filed on Wednesday, the defendants are the Federal Government, the President, Attorney General of Federation, Federal Ministry of Agriculture, National

Buhari Assembly, Accountant General of the Federation, Benue, Ekiti, Taraba and Niger states and they were listed as first to 10th respondents respectively.

The foundation in the suit is praying the court to void and annul the RUGA settlement scheme already established in Niger State and about to take off in 12 other states as pilot scheme.

The plaintiff prayed the court to restrain the Federal Government, the President, the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture their servants, agents and privies from carrying on with the RUGA settlement scheme in Sokoto, Nasarawa, Kogi, Katsina, Kebbi, Zamfara, Adamawa, Kaduna, Taraba, Plateau and Benue states where already it has been pencilled down as pilot scheme under the policy of the Federal Government.

Plaintiff also wants the court to stop the government, the President, AGF, and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, their agents, servants and privies from imposing the its Ruga settlement policy on Benue, Ekiti, and Taraba states who already have their respective anti-open grazing laws enacted by their respective State Houses of Assembly, pursuant to the provision of paragraph 18 of the 2nd schedule to the 1999 constitution.

Aside, the foundation also sought order of the court stopping the government, president, AGF and the minister of agriculture from further trespassing on the Benue, Ekiti and Taraba land mass which their governors of the three states hold in trust for the indigenous people of the various ethnic groups in the states and other federating states under the guise of establishing Ruga settlement policy.

The court is also urged to restrain the governors of Benue, Ekiti, Taraba and Niger states and their counterparts in other 32 states as Trustees of the land of the indigenous people of the various ethnic groups of Nigeria from volunteering their land for the establishment of cattle colony or Ruga settlement throughout the country.

In addition, plaintiff sought court order restraining the National Assembly from appropriating funds to finance the establishment and implementation of the Ruga settlement scheme and another order stopping the Benue State Government from disbursing public funds to the Federal Government and the Ministry of Agriculture to finance the development, establishment and implementation of the Ruga settlement policy.

The foundation also wants the court to stop the Federal Government and the Federal Ministry of Agriculture from misappropriating public funds in their care or allocating or budgeting to finance the development and implementation of the Fulani Ruga farm settlement.

The originating summon filed by Malcolm Emokiniovo Omirhobo faulted the introduction of the Fulani Ruga settlement policy of the Federal Government on the ground that the policy runs counter to the construction of Section 1 (42) 43 44 55 81 82 and 83 of the second schedule of the 1999 Constitution especially Sections 28 29 and 51 of the Lanf Use Act of 1978.

However, literary icon and Nobel Laureate, Prof Wole Soyinka has warned the Federal Government over its handling of the proposed new herdsmen

Finally, Nigeria agrees to sign AfCFTA Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

After one year of intensive consultations, Nigerian President, Muhammadu Buhari, has approved the recommendations of the Presidential Committee on the Impact and Readiness Assessment of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement and revealed that he will now sign the free trade pact just few hours before the ratification.

The President, who disclosed this on Wednesday in Abuja, said that he will be signing the Phase one of the agreement in the course of his attendance at the Mid-Year Coordination Meeting of the African Union and 12th Extraordinary Summit

on AfCFTA in Niamey, Niger Republic on Saturday, July 6-7, 2019.

President Buhari will on Saturday depart Nigeria for Niamey and will sign the pact on his arrival.

A country that signs the first level will then go into country level discussions leading to treaties after safeguards are agreed to.

The AfCFTA, which is a trade agreement between African Union member states, with the goal of creating a single market followed by free movement and a single-currency union, was signed in Kigali, Rwanda, on 21 March 2018.

Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, stated that in accepting the reports as submitted, President

Buhari made it clear that Nigerian government will be seeking to include terms that engender the development of policies that promote African production, among other benefits.

Buhari said: “Africa, therefore, needs not only a trade policy but also a continental manufacturing agenda.

Our vision for intra-African trade is for the free movement of “made in Africa goods”. That is, goods and services made locally with dominant African content in terms of raw materials and value addition.

“If we allow unbridled imports to continue, it will dominate our trade.

The implication of this is that coastal importing nations will prosper while landlocked nations will continue to suffer and depend on aid.”

The President had in June 27, 2019 received the report of the report of the committee at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, and noted that AfCFTA “will have both negative and positive impact for the Nigerian economy.”

With the signing of the free trade deal, Nigeria would become the 53 country out of the 55 countries in the continent that endorsed the agreement.

The African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) which is championing the free trade agreement, has set aside $1 billion as shock absorber for the first countries that will sign and ratified the agreement.

With this signing of the agreement, Nigeria will benefit from the N360 billion largesse of the Afreximbank.

settlement called Ruga, saying the plan to establish such colonies across the 36 states could disintegrate the country.

Speaking in Lagos at the launch of the United Nations’ Solutions 17 SDG programme on Tuesday, Soyinka derided the government for the idea, adding that the settlements can cause the country to explode.

“Ruga is going to be an explosion if not handled with care. But why do we not take our policies from good models?

This is not the way people and countries deal with issues of cattle.

“I travel everywhere. It has to be handled in a way that is logical, comprehensible to the environment.

When a cattle walks up to the window of my house in Abeokuta, a house which is located in a residential area, then there’s a problem.

“When cattle go to Ijebu Ode and eat up their plant seedlings and so on and you expect people to be quiet?” he stated, adding that “President Buhari deserved to have lost the last election for the lackadaisical attitude he took to the issue of cattle rearing in the country.

“People have been killed in hundreds just because of the failure of leadership at a critical time. And the cattle herders have been given a sense of impunity.

They kill without any compunction, they drive away the farmers who have been contributing to the food solutions in the country, the cattle eat their crops and then you come up with Ruga.

“I think that there is going to be trouble in this country if this Ruga thing is not handled imaginatively and with humanity as priority. Any country where cattle take priority over human life is definitely at an elementary stage,” he said.

principal officers.

“The party should not dictate to us, I am interested in the position of majority leader and I want us to be elected the same way and manner we elected the speaker and his deputy,” he said, stressing that to do otherwise amounts to injustice.

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the attempt by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, to impose leaders for the party in the House of Representatives.

The party said that it had duly written to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, after consultation with other minority members in the House of Representatives, notifying him of members that have been selected for leadership position in the House of Representatives, in line with dictates of the rules and parliamentary practice.

However, to the party’s utter dismay, it said that it discovered that the Speaker attempted to smuggle in names other than those recognised and forwarded to him as the leaders of the Minority in the House of Representatives.

“The PDP, in the strongest terms, cautions against this abuse of rules, parliamentary practices and procedures as well as the convention and we urge the Speaker to respect the rules and read the list submitted to him by the leadership of the PDP,” said PDP’s National Publicity Secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement.

According to him, the list forwarded to the Speaker by the PDP include names of Hon. Kingsley Chinda - Minority Leader, Hon. Chukwuka OnyemaDeputy Minority Leader, Hon. Yakubu Barde - Minority Whip, and Hon. Muraina Ajibola - Deputy Minority Whip.

Oba of Benin begs Buhari to intervene in Obaseki, Oshiomhole feud Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

The Oba of Benin, Omo N’Oba N’ Edo, Ewuare II, has appealed to President Muhammadu Buhari to quickly intervene in the feud between the Edo State Governor, Godwin Obaseki and the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Comrade Adams Oshiomhole.

The Oba made the appeal on Wednesday when he led members of the Edo State Council of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs to a courtesy visit to President Buhari at the Presidential villa, Abuja.

He also demanded for two ministerial slots from the president reason being that Edo State is the only APC state in the South - South.

The Oba, in a written address at the meeting which was held under closed door, said: “Mr. President, we as traditional rulers in Edo State, are concerned about the crisis between Comrade Adams Oshiomhole, the All Progressives Congress National Chairman and his Excellency, Governor Godwin Obaseki of Edo State, and Edo State House of Assembly.

“If this crisis is not resolved now with immediate effect it may jeopardise the progress of the state.

“On behalf of the good people of Edo State, we kindly appeal to Mr. President to use your good offices to intervene

and stop this crisis.

“Personally even though I do not like to interfere in interparty or intra party matters, and always maintain that the Benin Crown is non-partisan, it is however difficult to turn a blind eye because if this crisis is not brought under control, it is likely to jeopardize the welfare of the masses.

“This is where I in my capacity as Chairman of Edo State Council of Traditional Rulers and Chiefs supported by members of the Council, will endeavour to broker peace between the warring parties.

“I have been talking to both parties on my own and I am about to invite them to the palace for reconciliation. When a date is set for this meeting, I will invite members of the council to join me in this effort.

We believe by the grace of God, if we succeed in achieving this, the benefit should trickle down to resolving the impasse in the Edo State House of Assembly. “ On the demand for two ministerial slots, he said: “We pray to Almighty God to help you put in place a formidable team of men and women of proven integrity that will join you to take this nation to the next level.

“Considering that Edo State is the only APC State in the South - South, May we crave Mr. President’s indulgence to have two ministerial slots in the yet to be constituted Federal Executive Council.”

The Oba reminded the President of some demands by

The nationwide strike by Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has entered its second day as activities at the nation’s seaports were on Wednesday crippled.

The union lived by its threat, shut down ports operations and started a nationwide strike over unpaid wages to Dockworkers, among other issues.

The Daily Times gathered that union members in port formations across Lagos, Rivers State, Cross River State, and in Delta State, took over and locked up all the entrances and exit gates of the ports.

President-General of MWUN, Adewale Adeyanju, said that the strike continued as there had not been any positive thing to report.

“The strike continues tomorrow (today), because the so-called meeting by Executive Director, Finance, Nigeria Ports Authority, NPA, had nothing new to tell us. So, we left the meeting.”

MWUN had on June 11, issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to compel the International Oil Companies, IOCs, to pay over a year outstanding wages to Dockworkers, among other issues or face nationwide industrial unrest.

A statement by the union read in part: “We want to use this medium to intimate you and the Federal Government of the nonpayment of the stevedoring wages to dockworkers by the International Oil Companies, IOCs, operating in Nigeria. It is on record that on June 1, 2018, the NPA appointed stevedoring contractors to provide services at various offshore jetties and onshore locations to the International Oil Services and other operators.

“It will be necessary to inform you that NPA had held several meetings with these operators to grant access to the government-appointed stevedoring contractors, process their invoices and effect payment. Unfortunately, the operators have refused to comply with the NPA

Obaseki the people when he visited the state especially, the issue of poor and ineffective performance of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company, BEDC, in the provision of power to electricity consumers in the state.

“Suffice to state that several months down the line the situation has worsened. May I on behalf of the people of Edo state, use this platform to further appeal to Mr. President to intervene in this pathetic situation,” he said.

He said that the Edo State Traditional Rulers were doing their best to support the Federal Government in the war against human trafficking.

He said: “It is globally accepted that the action which I singlehandedly took against those involved in human trafficking have helped to reduce this illicit trade drastically. To be sure, Mr.

Oshiomhole President I was compelled to place in our traditional manner a curse on those native doctors who were involved in asking these victims to take oath of ‘enslavement’ before they could travel out illegally.”

He said that the natural rulers from Edo State were sad to observe that there was little or no federal presence in the state.

“For example, Nigeria Institute for Oil Palm Research, NIFOR, which was established so many years ago is now a sorry shadow of its past. The University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) management does not have enough equipment and sufficient fund to properly run the institution,” he said.

The monarch added that the Benin-Owen River Basin Authority does not impact the life of the people, saying, “In fact, it is almost non-existent.”

directive after one year that the stevedoring contractors were appointed.

“We commend the Managing Director of Nigerian Port Authority and efforts made to compel the IOCs to engage the services of stevedoring and registered stevedores.

“In fact, at stakeholders meeting held on February 28, 2018, organised by the NPA at Victoria Island, Lagos, to sensitise stakeholders’ i.e IOCs, Jetty Owners and Terminal Owners that the NPA appointed stevedores and registered dockworkers are empowered by law to solely handle discharged and loading operations at the ports, jetties and oil platforms.

“The position of the operators on NPA directive is worrisome and very surprising because the same operators had processed and paid the former stevedoring contractors since 2010 through a foremost terminal operator. So, why are they refusing to cooperate with the newly appointed stevedoring contractors since

the modus operandi remains the same?

“The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has been monitoring the chain of events on this matter since last one year, and noted that the implication of the operators defiant attitude amongst others is untimely death of some dockworkers while awaiting the payment of their wages, because they could not meeting their family obligations like payment of house rent, children school fees and hospital bills, to mention but few. We can no longer continue to watch our members die prematurely because of defiant attitude of the IOCs. “Consequently, we are constrained to give the Ministry of Transportation that superintends the appointment of stevedores, two weeks (14 days) to prevail on the management of the IOCs to pay all outstanding bills to our members, failing which we will be compelled to withdraw our services and shut down operations in all the Nations Sea Ports.”

Senator Elisha Abbo representing Adamawa North Senatorial District on Wednesday came under fire over an alleged assault on a woman in an adult toy shop in Abuja last month as portrayed in the CCTV video footage that went viral on social media on Tuesday.

His colleagues in the Senate agreed to investigate the authenticity of the allegation and his culpability by empanelling a seven -member investigative team to interrogate both Abbo and the victim.

Also, his party, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) condemned the act and invited him to tell his own side of the story while former Vice President Atiku Abubakar advised him to tender a public apology.

The setting up of the Senate committee was consequent upon full deliberation on a point of order raised by Senator Uba Sani (APC Kaduna Central) in which he called the attention of the Senate to a video footage that went viral on the social media on Tuesday in which Sen. Abbo was seen assaulting a lady.

Sen. Uba had called for immediate sanction of Sen. Abbo, but after crucial intervention by Senators Opeyemi Bamidele, Enyinnaya Abaribe, Yahaya Abdullahi, the Senate decided to investigate the matter to give Abbo fair -hearing and to inquire from the assault victim full details of the ugly incident.

Senate President, Ahmad Lawan said in as much as the Senate will be responsive and responsible and will not condone violence, it will be fair to give fair hearing to both sides.

The committee members are Senators Sam Egwu, Oluremi Tinubu, Stella Oduah, Mathew Urhogide, Dauda Aliru Jika, Sani Musa and Danladi Sankara.

The investigative panel has two weeks to report back to the Senate.

Also, the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) reacting to the CCTV footage relating to allegations of malfeasance by Senator Elisha Abbo, said as a law-abiding and upstanding party, it detests and completely condemn such act of lawlessness and callousness as exhibited in the video and will therefore never condone it.

The party expressed shock that the harmless victim of the unprovoked assault is said to be a nursing mother, who ought to be protected.

The PDP in a statement by its spokesperson, Kola Ologbondiyan, said though this is a personal conduct of an individual which has no bearing with the culture of the party, the party held that no responsible person will condone such an attitude.

“In the light of this, the NWC has commenced investigation into the matter and summons Senator Elisha Abbo in line with the provisions of the Constitution of the PDP and

code of conduct of our members.

“In the same vein, the party has taken note of the immediate action taken by the Senate. The PDP, at all levels of engagement, is reputed for her utmost respect and commitment towards the rights, safety and wellbeing of our citizens, particularly our women and cannot tolerate any callous assault on any Nigerian.”

Reacting also, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, who described the assault as inexcusable, said in a personal statement on his social media handle that “I have seen the alleged assault video involving Sen. Elisha Abbo. The video is sad, inexcusable. I know the senator quite well. But, the law is clear and leaders must lead by example. ‪‪”I advise him to publicly apologise, voluntarily go to the police and show a good example expected of a young leader. I also call on our party, the PDP to take necessary disciplinary action and the Nigerian Police to ensure the law takes its full course.”

However, the embattled Sen. Abbo, on Wednesday, tendered an unreserved apology to Nigerians, the victim (Bibra), the Senate, the PDP, womenfolk, his immediate family and God for his degrading attitude of assaulting a woman.

Addressing a press conference at the PDP national secretariat, Abuja on Wednesday evening, the senator in an emotion laden voice remorsefully begged for forgiveness.

He said: “It is with a deep sense of remorse and responsibility that I, Senator Ishaku Abbo, profoundly apologises to all Nigerians, the Senate, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), my family, friends as well as our mothers - the Nigerian women.

“I personally apologise to Bibra and her family for my action towards her, which has brought immense discomfort in our body polity. l have never been known or associated with such actions in the past.

“Regardless of what transpired prior to my expression of anger, I am sincerely sorry and plead that all men and women of good conscience should have the heart to forgive me. To err is human, to forgive is divine.”

Meanwhile, the Inspector General of Police, Muhammed Adamu, has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the alleged assault on a female by the senator.

Specifically, the police chief directed the FCT Commissioner of Police, Bala Ciroma, to provide a personal and roundthe-clock supervision of every facet of the investigation, including the forensic analysis of the video currently in circulation as well as the actions/inactions of the policeman seen in the video footage.

While assuring citizens of utmost professionalism by the police in the handling the matter, he promised that the police will ensure that justice is manifestly done in this case irrespective of whose ox is gored.

Buhari orders DisCos to brace up Short News Lawan appeals to NLC to shelve as electricity supply drops Mathew Dadiya, Abuja President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Electricity Distribution Companies (DisCos) to work harder in injecting more resources and technical expertise to improve supply of electricity across the country, following increasing complaints of poor power supply nationwide.

The President assured the companies that the federal government will sustain efforts in building transmission infrastructure.

Buhari gave the charge on Wednesday when he received a delegation of Edo state Council of Traditional Rulers and chiefs led by Oba Ewuare II at the State House, Abuja.

He called on Nigerians to show more understanding with the DisCos and the federal government as more expertise and resources would be committed to improving electricity.

The President said the supply of gas for power transmission has improved overtime and with the collective efforts of the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) and the Discos, the power situation would

be made better.

“We are building infrastructure.

We are doing our best, but obviously, our best is not good enough yet,’’ he said.

Buhari commended Oba Ewuare II and the Edo sate Traditional Council its intervention in human trafficking by tracking down and discouraging facilitators and rehabilitating victims that were returned.

“I am pleased that you have taken up the fight against human trafficking and I know the effect of your intervention will be felt beyond our borders,’’ he added.

On the Benin-Abuja Road project, the President assured the Edo state leaders that the ministry of works will give more attention to the project when ministers assume duty.

President Buhari told the elders that the federal government was able to achieve food security with teamwork between the Central Bank of Nigeria, the ministry of agriculture, states and other stakeholders including farmers, promising that more will be done to diversify and strengthen the Nigerian economy.

Earlier in his remarks, Oba Ewuare II congratulated the President for winning the 2019 elections, urging him to utilise the opportunity

to improve the livelihood of the people, particularly issues that directly impact on development like electricity and road infrastructure.

“We pray the almighty God to help you put in place a formidable team of men and women of proven integrity that will join you to take this nation to the next level. Considering that Edo state is the only APC state in the South-South, may we crave Mr. President’s indulgence to have two slots,’’ he said.

The traditional ruler said the situation of electricity in the state has worsened over the years, adding that “may I, on behalf of the people of Edo state, use this platform to further appeal to Mr. President to intervene in this pathetic situation.’’

The traditional ruler, who listed the Benin-Abuja Road as a project that will help Edo indigenes, said he placed a curse on all native doctors that facilitate human trafficking in the state and the fear of reprisal has yielded positive results.

He also appreciated President Buhari for approving the National Festival of Arts and Culture (NAFEST) to be held in Edo state which according to him, will showcase the rich culture of the people and drive his legacy museum project.

planned strike Tunde Opalana, Abuja

Senate President, Ahmad Lawan on Wednesday appealed to the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) to shelve the proposed industrial action due to the alleged delay in implementation of the N30, 000 minimum wage, saying Nigeria cannot stand such action.

Lawan made the appeal when the executive of the NLC and the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN) led by Comrade Ayuba Wabara and Sunday Sabiyi respectively, paid him a courtesy visit in Abuja.

He called for further understanding and patriotism, adding that some states have started paying the agreed minimum wage, adding that “we should not encourage personal issues to overshadow our collective responsibility to nation building.

“We will journey with you to ensure absolute implementation of the minimum wage by the federal government.”

The Senate President also tasked the PASAN to collaborate with the management and leadership of the National Assembly, urging them to present issue base arguments instead on engaging strike action to press home their demands.

He assured his guests that the ninth assembly will not be detracted, but remain focued in pursing growth in every sector of the country.

The NLC President, Ayuba Wabba later presented a congratulatory card to the Senate President for his emergence as the chairman of the National Assembly, just as he pledged the commitment and collaboration of the Labour unions to the legislators.

Earlier, the Chairman, PASAN, Comrade Sunday Sabiyi congratulated the President of the Senate and the leadership of the Senate on the emergence as the presiding officers of the Senate.

He urged Lawan to put in use his wealth of experience as a ranking senator to the service and protection of the interests of the people.

Sabiyi used the occasion to table the demands of the parliamentary staff in the National Assembly in implementation of 2018 arrears of 28 per cent and balance of 50 per cent consolidated legislative salary, implementation of condition of service recently approved by the 8th National Assembly, training of staff, health insurance and life insurance premium.

Why does God pour his blessings on bad people?

One day, some Christians were having a thanksgiving service. So they started by praising and worshiping God. But as they were doing this, suddenly a battalion of soldiers came into the church. They came right in the middle of the praise and worship. Quietly, they surrounded the congregation. Then their commanding officer gave the charge: “Fire.”

They opened up fire and killed everybody in the church. They killed the pastor; they killed the choirmembers; they killed the ushers; they killed all the members of the congregation. Then they left.

Paradoxically, the Pastor had been preaching earlier that month about the virtue of not coming late to church. Indeed, he had been saying habitual latecomers are likely to miss some special blessings of God. But that Sunday morning, those who came late were “blessed.” By the time they arrived, the soldiers had gone, so they were saved.

Now who were the better Christians; the ones who came early and were killed or the ones who came late and were saved?

Femi Aribisala

No Exemptions From Life My parable is similar to a real case brought to Jesus. Pilate killed some Galileans while they were “in church.” He killed them while they were offering sacrifices to God. Indeed, he mingled their blood with the blood of their sacrifices.

“Surely,” the people said to Jesus, “these people must have done something wrong for this kind of fate to befall them. Surely, God would not ordinarily allow people to be killed in church. If people can be killed in church, then the church is not safe.”

Jesus completely dismissed this kind of thinking.

He asked them: “Do you suppose these people must

have been terrible sinners because this kind of thing happened to them?” “No!” he insisted. Is it right to assume that the people killed must have been worse off than those who were not? “No!” says Jesus. You can make no such assumption whatsoever. (Luke 13:1-9).

Solomon says: “Anything can happen to any of us, and so we never know if life will be good or bad.

But exactly the same thing will finally happen to all of us, whether we live right and respect God or sin and don’t respect God. Yes, the same thing will happen if we offer sacrifices to God or if we don’t, if we keep our promises or break them. It’s terribly unfair for the same thing to happen to each of us.”

(Ecclesiastes 9:1-3).

Yes, we often think God is unfair. The Christian says: “I go to church regularly. I sing in the choir. I am a member of the prayer squad. I try to be nice to people. I give to the poor. I try as much as possible to be close to God. Nevertheless, my marriage is a disaster. I have not been promoted in my job for years. The engine of my car just knocked. The landlord just gave me an eviction notice. So what is the point of my faith?”

Is God Unfair?

God will never create a situation that will encourage any believer to feel superior to others.

If you ever feel you are more spiritual than others; that is eloquent evidence that you are not. If you ever feel that there is some spiritual exercise or formula which puts you at an advantage vis-à-vis others, it is eloquent testimony that the exercise is bankrupt.

Nothing about true godliness inspires pride. Ask Paul and he will tell you why he received a thorn in the flesh. He says: “Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the

law of faith.” (Romans 3:27).

Nothing about godliness gives a believer a superiority complex. It is wickedness and ungodliness that do that. The kingdom of God is never really going to put us in a place of spiritual high-mindedness. It is never really going to situate us beyond the mundane in this world.

Jesus never offers us any hope of reprieve in this world. He never offers such hope in the parables.

We are not offered such hope even in the life of Jesus himself. At a critical juncture, Jesus was abandoned not only by men, he was also abandoned by God. He gives his disciples a peculiar assurance: “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33).

God is not as interested in changing our situation, as he is in changing us. He is far more interested in changing how we relate to situations.

Selective Faith We often question God in trials. When bad things happen to us, we ask: “Why is this happening to me?” Sometimes, we even complain: “I don’t deserve this.”

But have you ever wondered why God allows blessings? Do you stay awake at night wondering why something good happened to you? Do you go to God and query him asking: “Why me? Father, why are you showering me with these blessings?”

Probably not!

Somehow, we believe it is our entitlement as Christians to have a good and pleasant life.

We accept God’s blessings, give thanks for them and enjoy them without giving them any further thought. We take it for granted that we are entitled to goodness but not to evil. But then Job asks a pertinent question of his wife: “Shall we receive

good from the hand of God and shall we not receive evil?”

The classic Christian answer is “No!” We want the blessings but we don’t want the trials.

We are also very selective in the use of scriptures.

We often use them to indoctrinate ourselves. A fellowship has not ended unless we recite “the grace” saying: “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me, all the days of my life.” (Psalm 23:6).

But there are other verses in the bible as well.

One example says: “Man who is born of woman is of few days and full of trouble.” (Job 14:1). Why don’t we sometimes end our services with such equally valid scriptures?

Somehow, we believe our faith should buy us exemptions from the trials and tribulations of this life. “If I know God and I am known of him, then I should not have to go through the paces like other men. I should not have to wait in the queue. I should not have any problem getting a job. I should not have any problem getting married. I should not have any problem with my marriage. I should not have any problem with my health.”

And so we believe that prayer will change every situation and circumstance. We fast, we pray, we petition God so that he can remove everything unpleasant from us. But this was Jesus’ answer to Paul when he had a similar presumption. He said to him: “My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Therefore, Paul says: “Most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore, I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:9-10).

Ruga settlement as Coup d’état

Emmanuel Onwubiko

The basic tenets of good governance and constitutional democracy are embedded strategically in the Nigerian version of the text known as the oath of office by the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. These essential elements of constitutionalism are fundamentally obligatory and the moment the holder of this high office deviates from them, it can be assumed to be a grave threat against constitutional democracy.

These oaths of allegiance are enshrined in the seventh schedule of the Nigerian constitution of 1999 (as amended) and are as follows: “I, (Muhammadu Buhari) do solemnly swear/affirm that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I will discharge my duties to the best of my ability, faithfully and in accordance with the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the law, and always in the interest of the sovereignty, integrity, solidarity, well-being and prosperity of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will strive to preserve the Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy contained in the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will not allow my personal interest to influence my official conduct or my official decisions; that I will to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that I will abide by the Code of Conduct contained in the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria; that in all circumstances, I will do right to all manner of people, according to law, without fear or favour, affection or ill-will; that I will not directly or indirectly communication or reveal to any person any matter which shall be brought under my consideration or shall become known to me as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, except as may be required for the due discharge of my duties as President; and that I will devote myself to the service and well-being of the people of Nigeria.

So help me God.” For most constitutional purists, the most underlying element of this salient aspect of the grund norm is the obligation by the president to do the right thing at all times to all manner of people and not to subject official policies and conducts under the pedestrian prisms of ethno-religious interests of the holder.

This obligation is sacrosanct, inviolable and indispensable.

Any violation of this sacred code can as well be described as a coup plot against the constitution and must never be tolerated due to the inevitable fact that its endurance in the body polity could precipitate anarchy, doom and monumental

disaster to the Fatherland.

The Encyclopedia Britannica tells us what Coup d’état is. It says that “Coup d’état, also called Coup, is the sudden, violent overthrow of an existing government by a small group. The chief prerequisite for a coup is control of all or part of the armed forces, the police, and other military elements. Unlike a revolution, which is usually achieved by large numbers of people working for basic social, economic, and political change, a coup is a change in power from the top that merely results in the abrupt replacement of leading government personnel.”

The scholars offer more exposition on the concept of coup as follows: “A coup rarely alters a nation’s fundamental social and economic policies, nor does it significantly redistribute power among competing political groups. Among the earliest modern coups were those in which Napoleon overthrew the Directory on Nov. 9, 1799 (18 Brumaire), and in which Louis Napoleon dissolved the assembly of France’s Second Republic in 1851.”

They recall that Coups were a regular occurrence in various Latin American nations in the 19th and 20th centuries and in Africa after the countries there gained independence in the 1960s.

Why is it necessary that we dwell extensively on the essence of good governance, constitutional purity and the import of the concept of coup?

These issues are key to a detailed analysis of the needless controversy called Ruga Fulani settlements which remains an aggressive attempt to force down the throats of unwilling states and worst still, deploy public fund to execute private business interests of an ethnicity as against the OATH OF OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT. This in short is another way of explaining coup plot.

The tepid argument made by the presidency in defence of this highly disputed policy goes to show that the officials exercising the functions prescribed in the constitution in section 5 are either bereft of the faintest idea of what the mandate of their executive office is or they are bent on carrying out what can be described as a coup against the constitution.

The desperation exhibited by the presidency populated majorly by Hausa/Fulani-born officials goes against the basic norms and tenets of constitutional democracy and amounts to a desecration of the constitutional oath of office administered on president Muhammadu Buhari who is obliged by law to exercise his office as the president of all Nigerians and not of his ethnic group which is Fulani.

He submits accurately that a candidate for the election into the office of the president cannot be deemed to have been duly elected until he has

more positive votes than negative votes cast at the election for the president.

It is doubtful, he says, if he can be deemed duly elected under sections 133 and 134 if he has no negative votes cast against him.

The effect of the provision he affirms, is that negative votes against the president and are thus protected. If, as it observed, such votes are protected, any prejudice or penalty against them will clearly be inconsistent with the exercise of executive powers of the Federation.

Dr Abayomi noted that It is not just that the nation is recognized as one constituency for the election of the president under section 132(4), but the president’s responsibility to all the members of that constituency is by the provision of the section not only inherent, but also required.

The simple truth is that the push by president Buhari to carry on with the implementation of this discriminatory policy of establishment of Fulani communities all across Nigeria fundamentally breaches the constitution, the Land Use Act of 1978 and can best be described as an attempt at forceful land grab similar to a coup d’état.

R. K. Sapru in his book “Public Policy: formulation, implementation and evaluation”, provides us with empirical proof to draw up a conclusion that the policy on setting up Ruga Fulani all across Nigeria does not qualify as public but a selfish policy which is inherently unconstitutional.

Writing on the idea of public vis-à-vis the concept of public and policy, the aforementioned scholar stated as follow: “It is first important to understand the concept of ‘public’ for a discussion of public policy. We often use such terms as ‘public interest’, ‘public sector’, ‘public opinion’, ‘public health’, and so on. The starting point is that ‘Public Policy’ has to do with those spheres which are so labeled as ‘public’ as opposed to spheres involving the idea of ‘private’. The concept of public policy presupposes that there is an area or domain of life which is not private or purely individual, but held in common. Public dimension is generally referred to ‘public ownership’ or control for ‘public purpose’. The public comprises that domain of human activity which is regarded as requiring governmental intervention or common action.

However there has always been a conflict between what is public and what is private.”

“W.F. Baber argues that the public sector has ten key differences from the private sector: I. It faces more complex and ambiguous tasks; II. It has more problems on implementing its decisions; III. It employs more people with a wider range of motivations;

IV. It is more concerned with securing opportunities; V. It is more concerned with compensating for market failure; VI. It engages in activities with greater symbolic significance; VII. It is held to stricter standards of commitment and legality; VIII. It has a greater opportunity to respond to issues of fairness; IX. It must operate or appear to operate in the public interest; X. It must maintain minimal levels of public support above that required in private industry.”

However, the good thing about the national conversations around the theme of the illegality of forcing down our throats the concept of Ruga Fulani settlements is the ability of most Nigerians to easily decode the lies hidden in the entire scenario which are now manifesting.

One of such lies already exposed is that the setting up of Ruga will not benefit any other Nigerian but Fulani since Ruga inherently implies Fulani settlement. The big lie that the policy is meant for livestock farmers is an egregious falsehood that is now self-evident. My mother is a livestock farmer and does not require Ruga settlements for her private business at government expense.

Professor Godwin Sogolo, a philosopher once wrote about the journey of such lies to self deception in his iconic article in The Guardian “From lying to self-deception” and a meticulous reading of this December 4th 1986 publication of The Guardian newspaper tells contemporary observer that Ruga Fulani settlement as being packaged and propagated is a progressive journey by the presidency from lying to self-deception.

Hear him: “Fortunately, the world is not like that. Our world allows some intrigue; we are able to lie without being detected; we can trick, cheat and deceive others; better still, we can deceive ourselves. So, to some extent each of us wears a mask of false life, some thick enough to shield completely the real self. We always pray that the mask does not slip, although if it does, some would find it more difficult than others finding where to hide.”

“The problem with lying is that a small bit, once told, always demands coating. And for the fear that the new layer would wear out we put yet another plaster and so on and so on until we find ourselves totally engulfed in a false life”.

This journey of progressive lies about cow colonies to the self deception of Ruga settlements is now a Notorious lie.

Editorial Commentary NEWS Ihedioha to refurbish, reconstruct dilapidated schools in Imo Imo State Governor, Hon Emeka Ihedioha, says his government is set to refurbish and reconstruct all dilapidated schools in the state as part of efforts to improve quality of education.

Ihedioha made the promise on Wednesday at the final of the 2019 NNPC Annual National Quiz Competition in the South East Zone held at Government Secondary School, Owerri.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the theme of the 2019 NNPC quiz competition was “Sustaining the Gains of Corporate Social Responsibility.”

Ihedioha said that a committee had been set up to identify the dilapidated schools, while the committee members had already started work to meet up with the mandate.

Ihedioha, who was represented by Mrs Margret Obi, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education in the state, commended NNPC for its vision of encouraging the study and knowledge of science subjects in Nigerian primary and secondary schools and urged them not to relent.

He described science as the stepping stone to development among nations of the world and which had impacted on people’s live and took them around the globe.

The governor also described education as one of the major thrusts of his government and as such he had concluded plans to refurbish, reconstruct and equip dilapidated infrastructure in various schools in the state.

He commended the participating schools and students for making it up to the zonal stage and wished them well in their future endeavours.

The NNPC Group General Manager (Public Affairs Division). Mr Ndu Ughamadu, said the national quiz started in 2000 with the aim of picking the best students in science subjects from the 774 local governments in the country.

He said the NNPC had empowered beneficiaries through monetary rewards and scholarships to further their education.

Ughamadu, who was represented by Mr. Iheanyi Nnochiri, NNPC Deputy Manager, Corporate Social Responsibility NNPC, said that the corporation’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities covered projects in health, infrastructure, power generation, agriculture, sports and arts.

He said that the intervention in the education

sector was the most important CSR activity of the corporation capped by the annual quiz competition.

Ughamadu said the NNPC understood the value of education in the growth and development of any nation.

“Furthermore, science, technology, engineering and mathematics education (STEM education) which the NNPC National Science Quiz Competition encourages, plays a key role in sustaining our economy by providing us with tools to understand the world around us and innovations to solve everyday problems.

“Science is everywhere in the world and around us. Technology is continously expanding into every aspect of our lives, both the mundane and the complex.

“Without enginnering, there would be no houses to shelter us, no roads or bridges and certainly no cars and mathematics is the very foundation of them all,” he said.

Ughamadu explained that the 2019 edition of the competition and the 17th in series was aimed at building on the gains already recorded in the previous editions.

He commended the participating schools, parents and teachers, saying that: “we are all striving to do our part to build capable leaders who can lead our nation into tomorrow; leaders who will see that Nigeria’s potential is actulised.”

NAN reports that five students, representing Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Ebonyi and Imo participated in the NNPC quiz competition with Imo, Ebonyi and Abia coming top at the competion and would be representing the south east zone in the final competition coming up in September in Abuja.

Imo and Ebonyi took the first position with 55 marks each and were followed by Abia which took the second position with 50 marks.

Miss Adaeze Ozuzu, a SS2 student from Logos International Secondary School, Oru East in Imo, on behalf of the participating students thanked the NNPC for initiating the programme.

She said the competition jwould encourage the study of science.

Ozuzu expressed gratitude to God, her parents and the school for helping her come this far in her academics and advised other students to always work hard and never give up on their dreams.

NASS most porous parliament in the world – Gbajabiamila Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, Speaker of the House of Representatives, has described the Nigeria’s National Assembly ”as the most porous parliament in the world.”

Gbajabiamila made the remark at the Wednesday’s plenary while responding to a motion under matters of urgent public importance

by Rep. Dederi Isa (APC-Nano) in Abuja.

He stressed that the dignity of the National Assembly and its surroundings cannot be compromised.

The speaker said it is worrisome the way and manner people gain access into the complex unchecked.

He, however, assured that efforts are ongoing to checkmate the ugly trend as a Committee on Internal Security of the House would be constituted to address the issue. ”The issue of the porousness of the chamber is a nagging issue. This is the most porous parliament I have ever seen in the world. ”So we are making effort to ensure the internal security here and that is why we are having a new Committee on Internal Security of the House in place to address the issue. ”The dignity of this place starts from the gate, not just the chamber,” he said.

Earlier, Isa, who represents Karaye/Rogo Federal Constituency, had raised a motion, expressing displeasure over difficulties being faced by lawmakers in gaining access into the assembly complex through the gate.

Citing a section in the House Standing Rules which says ”a member of the legislature shall not be obstructed or hindered from gaining access into the legislative house,” he said it is time such act is nipped in the bud. ”Similarly, when you are going out, you face the same challenge. This should be addressed,” he said.

The lawmaker, though acknowledged that the speaker is doing his best to strike a balance among members, complained that his attention is often on some members when motions were being taken. ”Mr Speaker, we know you are doing your best to be fair to all but sometimes, your attention focuses more on the central side than our side. ”Yesterday, several members and I raised our hands to make contributions but you did not look our side. I want this to be addressed and as members, we should be treated equally,” he said.

Responding, Gbajabiamila assured lawmakers that under his watch, the leadership of the lower chamber would always uphold the principle of fairness and equity as its watchword in dealing with members. ”I have always assured that in this House, equity and fairness is our watchword. ”According to the rules here, we move from one aile to the next aile to maintain an order while taking contributions. We don’t pick anyhow and once we passed an aile, the chances that we are not going to come back is high,” he explained.

OUR POSITION Out-of-school children and future leaders Nigeria with the current figure of 13.2 million out-of-school children occupies first position on the table of countries with the highest number of out-of-school children in the world certainly calls for sober reflection.

More worrisome is the fact that the figure instead of decreasing in the last few years is rather increasing.

This statistics which represent approximately 20 per cent of the world’s population of such children is an alarming and ticking time bomb that will spell doom for the country if urgent steps are not taken by relevant authorities to address the situation.

We observe that governance in Nigeria has become a circle of family business where politicians secure the future of their children to the detriment of poor Nigerians.

Also, inadequacy of funding, lack of teaching tools and modern classrooms, poor numerations and the acute shortage of qualified teachers are some of the factors leading to the fall in the standard of education in Nigeria.

Recently, the Multiple Indication Cluster Survey report for 2016 (MICS 2016) revealed that out of the 11.5 million of out-of-school children in Nigeria, Northern states have the highest rate with an average of 69%.

The latest data MICS 2016 showed that out of the 11.5 million out-of-school children in Nigeria, 7.5.million (69%) are from the Northern part of the country while the North East has the largest number of out-of-school children followed by the North West.

With this number, Nigeria accounts for more than 1 in 5 number of out-of-school children globally and 45% of this number are from West Africa. Within the huge number of the out-of-school children, girls are the majority especially in Northern Nigeria.

Education indicators for Northern Nigeria are however different from the Southern part of the country.

Nigeria’s future prosperity depends on producing children who are well prepared to take their right place in the society but unfortunately, a large number of Nigerian children are at risk of deprivations of the basic social amenities.

Most of these children are situated in the rural areas and hard to reach communities. Majority of them are living in conflict and communities under emergencies, and it has been difficult taking basic amenities to them. All children have the right to better

life, an opportunity to survive, develop and reach their full potentials without discrimination, bias or favouritism which cannot be over emphasised.

We also observe that the rising number of children engaged in street trading in our major cities is becoming a worsening menace. The problem is further exacerbated by rising poverty and general insecurity in the country. In the North, the ravaging insurgency has added to the problem.

If drastic measures are not taken to correct the situation, things would only get worse. Let us learn from France, Britain, Canada and other advanced countries which built the foundation of their countries and rapid technological advancement on good and quality education. It must be pointed out also that in these countries, teachers are amongst the best paid workers. Unfortunately, the reverse is the case in Nigeria.

Having failed to fund public education, the children of the poor are roaming the streets, hawking goods while the rich are educating their children in private schools at home and abroad. But to the detriment of the society, the abandoned children of the poor are being recruited to criminality by terrorists, kidnappers and other criminal gangs. The irony of the crisis is that a government, which claims that it lacks money to fund education is spending several billions of naira to fight insurgency, kidnapping, armed robbery and banditry.

We believe that an uneducated population will be locked in a cycle of poverty for their entire lives.

Additionally, these children could constitute the next generation of suicide bombers and militants.

We are of the opinion that it is high time the government and relevant stakeholders address the problem frontally. It is sad that government’s free education for all pupils up to the first nine years of schooling has not been fully implemented. There is the need to increase the percentage of the annual national budget that goes to education. Schools should be adequately funded and the enabling environment provided for teachers and support staff to deliver functional and effective education to the children.

We submit that the improvement of the classroom environment is key to lowering the growing figures of out-of-school children in the country. We also wish to state that teachers must not only be well trained, their welfare must be prioritised while the federal and state governments should muster the political will to adequately fund education.

Senate flays importation of soap Short News Okowa swears-in 8 commissioners noodles, jacks up import duty Constitutes ad hoc committee on media

Tunde Opalana, Abuja Concerned with the need to protect local manufacturing industries, the Senate has moved against the continuous importation of soap noodles into the country.

It appealed to the federal government to review upwards the current 10 per cent import duty on the importation of soap noodles to save the local industry in particular and Nigeria’s economy in general.

This resolution is sequel to the adoption of the motion on the need to review the import duty on soap noodles sponsored by Senator Barau Jibrin (Kano North) and five others.

The Senate established that the federal government in order to boost local production of soap noodles needs to increase the import duty from 10 per cent to 35 per cent, adding that the increase in import duty made it unprofitable for soap manufacturers to import soap noodles.

This policy initiative, it observed resulted in soap manufacturers making N420 billion investments in setting up manufacturing lines to produce soap noodles locally while also creating 250, 000 jobs in the country.

In his lead discussion, Sen. Jibrin said that recently the federal government made a downward review of the import duty from 35

per cent to 10 per cent and that the downward review will lead to massive importation of soap noodles into the country, thereby having a negative impact on the national economy.

After a thorough deliberation of the motion, the single prayer of the motion was amended and it was resolved that the government should review the import duty upward from its current 10 per cent without placing a ceiling of 35 per cent.

According to the Senate, the effects of the reduced import duty include reduction in government revenue inflow, collapse of the soap noodles industry and its attendant unemployment, serves as impediment to government’s efforts towards developing local sourcing and self- sufficiency, discourages investors and puts pressure on the forex reserves.

The Senate expressed worry that the negative impacts of the policy on the economy that has just emerged from recession and the expected huge job losses if the policy is sustained will further destroy, degrade and imperil the chances of the economy recovering for sustainable stability.

Co-sponsors of the motion are Senators Yahaya Abdullahi (Kebbi North), Oloriegbe Yahaya Ibrahim (Kwara Central), Gabriel Suswan (Benue North-East) and Mathew

Nosa Akenzua, Asaba

Urhoghide (Edo South).

Meanwhile, the Senate yesterday constituted an ad hoc committee on media and public affairs to launder the image of the Senate pending the constitution of standing committees of the upper chamber.

To head the committee is former National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Senator Dayo Adeyeye (APC Ekiti).

Constituting the committee, Senate President, Ahmad Lawan said the committee is vital to projecting the activities of the Senate to the public, disclosing that members of the committee were selected to liaise with the public on behalf of the Senate as well as getting feedback from the public.

He charged the committee to ensure that activities of the Senate are put in the public view.

Responding, the ad hoc committee Chairman, Sen. Adeyeye commended the Senate leadership on behalf of his members for the privilege to serve and promised that though the responsibility is enormous and delicate, members will not disappoint the Senate.

He called for adequate cooperation from senators for the committee to succeed.

Other members of the ad hoc committee are Senators Aishatu Dairu Ahmed, Uba Sani, Abba Moro, Ifeanyi Uba and Betty Afiapi.

Delta state Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa on Wednesday at the Government House in Asaba swore-in the first batch of eight commissioners as members of the state executive council.

The governor at the swearing-in ceremony said fairness, equity and justice are trademark of his administration that all political appointees must imbibe, emphasizing that his administration has zero tolerance for sectionalism and nepotism.

The commissioners who took the oath of office were Mrs. Flora Alatan, Chief James Augoye, Basil Ganagana, Peter Mrakpor, Prof. Patrick Muoboghare, Chief Festus Ochonogor, Chika Ossai and Chief Patrick Ukah.

Okowa, who congratulated the commissioners observed that the expectations of Deltans are high and urged them and other political appointees to see themselves as people who are representing the entire Delta people in the cabinet.

“And that you are there to serve their interests because the task before us is huge; we have set the goal of building a stronger Delta predicated on prosperity, peace and progress.

“Yes, it is true that each of you was nominated from a local government area, but the moment you become a commissioner, the entire Delta becomes your constituency and as such, you must be fair to all and be responsive to the needs and aspirations of all and sundry,” he said.

Court convicts POS merchant for fraud in Benue Andrew Orolua, Abuja Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon of the Federal High Court sitting in Makurdi, the state capital on Wednesday convicted one Eze Shedrach, a First Bank, Point of Sales (PoS) agent (First Moni) for fraud.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Makurdi zonal office secured the conviction on a one-count charge bordering on cyber -crime.

Trouble started for Shedrach when one of his customers collected N105, 000 from him and issued him an ATM card with which he made an electronic replacement of the sum through his PoS machine.

He carried out the transfer not knowing that the ATM card issued to him by the customer was stolen. Shedrach’s inability to find out the status of the ATM card followed his failure to identify the customer properly before the transaction.

Investigation by the commission revealed that Shedrach was in the habit of carrying out financial transactions without proper documentation of his customers upon withdrawals.

“The withdrawal of N105, 000 done on his PoS machine on April 28 was with a stolen ATM card belonging to a victim, Oodo Rose and could not be traced in his ledger as there is no documentation to that effect.

“A complaint of fraudulent withdrawal from Oodo Rose, the owner of the ATM card led to Shedrack’s arrest and prosecution by the EFCC,” the EFCC stated.

Osun pensioners complain over non-remittance of pension deductions Say ‘we are dying of hunger’

Olaniyi Ajibola, Osogbo Teaching and non- teaching staff of primary and secondary schools in Osun state, who retired between July 2015 and July 2016, have carpeted the government for its failure to remit deductions from their salaries to pension their administrators.

According to them, this infraction is solely responsible for their economic predicament and has put their lives and that of their families in penury, despite being captured under the contributory pension scheme.

Speaking at a press conference in Osogbo, the Osun state capital on Wednesday, their spokesperson, Comrade Adeosun Adegbemiga carpeted the state government for being insensitive to their plights after serving meritorious for decades.

“We are appealing to the Osun government to graciously put sufficient funds into the contributory pension scheme as its counterpart

funding and save thousands of our colleagues from dying.

“We want the government to know that this category of retirees have not received a dime for over three years, a situation that has made our lives extremely miserable.

“We are also appealing to government to release our bond certificates and remit all deductions to our pension administrators after completing the process of our retirement for over three years,” he said.

Adegbemiga further explained that the government has contravened the Contributory Pension Law of Osun state as enacted by the state House of Assembly in 2008, over its failure to remit deductions from their salaries to pension administrators.

Our reporter recalls that another group of pensioners, who retired between 2011/2012 had on Tuesday and Wednesday last week thronged Osogbo metropolis protesting the non -payment of their pension arrears and gratuity, alleging the diversion of the N6.3billion Paris Club refund released by the federal government

as bail out to the state.

Chairman of the group, Yemi Lawal said the present government in the state has not made any efforts aimed at bringing succour to pensioners after the protracted economic predicament they suffered during the last administration of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.

He further described retirees in the state as the most traumatized in the country, adding that it was unfortunate that they were suffering instead of enjoying their retirement after decades of meritorious service to the state.

“It would be out of place for the governor to divert a lump sum of N6.3billion Paris refund which was specifically meant for the payment of arrears of pension and other outstanding debts owed by the government.

“Many of our children are out of school because we are unable to pay their school fees; we are indeed in a serious financial mess. The most disheartening part of the issue is that the government has refused to remit its contribution to those who retired under the contributory pension scheme since 2015,” Lawal said

The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), Plateau state council has approved the dissolution of all standing committees inherited by the new state executive committee.

Also, the state NLC Chairman, Comrade Eugene Manji disclosed that Dalyop Badung has been appointed as acting secretary of the state labour body.

A statement signed by Manji, and a copy made available to our correspondent, said that the decision was taking at the NLC state executive council meeting held on Tuesday in Jos. Manji said that meeting agreed that an acting secretary be appointed locally for the council since the national secretariat of the NLC was yet to post one to the council as enshrined in the constitution of the congress.

The statement stated that the secretary will take charge of all secretarial responsibilities for and on behalf of the council pending the appointment of a substantive secretary by the national secretariat.

“SEC agreed that new standing committees be appointed and inaugurated to assist the state action committee in carrying its responsibilities,” Manji said.

Police arraign 4 applicants over $30, 000 fraud The police on Wednesday arraigned four applicants, who allegedly defrauded two men of $30, 000 about N14.7 million in an Ikeja Chief Magistrate’s Court.

The police charged Garuba Abubakar, (30), Emmanuel Owolabi, (30), Taiwo Hassan, (41) and Karibu Imuran, 42, whose residential addresses were not provided with three counts of conspiracy, stealing and obtaining money under false pretences.

Prosecution counsel, Michael Unah, told the court that the accused persons obtained $30, 000 from the complainants, Mustapha Akilu and Jonathan Oyarinde, adding that the money was obtained under the pretence of investment and money doubling.

Unah told the court that the defendants committed the offence with others still at large on June 10 at No. 27 Kakawa Street, Lagos Island. He alleged that the defendants hypnotised and collected the money from the complainants.

Chief Magistrate A.A. Fashola admitted the defendants to bail in the sum of N250, 000 bail each with two sureties each in like sum and further ordered that the sureties must be gainfully employed and must provide two years tax payment to the Lagos state government.

The offence, he said contravenes the provisions of Sections 287, 314 and 411 of the Lagos state Criminal Laws, 2015 and thereafter, adjourned the case until July 31 for hearing.

“Usually, in most army barracks we have medical facilities whose services are open to the local communities. Those communities close to the barracks enjoy free medical services, however, we know that there are some communities very far from the barracks, so on a day like this, we extend some of this medical services to the communities.

While admonishing residents of Ajegunle community in Ikorodu Road to maintain good hygiene, he said that “we do carry out this medical service periodically, from

time to time depending on the availability of resources. This area is a marshy area prone to malaria and the people need to do some clearing.

Manufacturers charge SON to stop fake roofing sheets import Kehinde Akinpelu, Ilorin The Galvanised Iron and Steel Manufacturers’ Association (GISMA) has issued a 30- day ultimatum to of the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) to address the importation of substandard galvanized roofing sheets into the country.

GISMA also alerted the federal government that if in 30 days time, SON and other security agencies fail to address the issue, its members may be forced to offload about 20, 000 workers into the labour market.

Spokesman of GISMA, Lateef Bello, in a statement issued on Wednesday, advised SON to always compliment the strides of President Muhammadu Buhari in the fight against corruption in compliance with the industrial roadmap revolution, noting that despite the presence of state coordinators of the agency nationwide, “it is saddening that the nooks and crannies of the country

are flooded with substandard roofing sheet products.

“We are aware that the Standard Organisation of Nigeria (SON) held a press conference last week and unveiled its successful seizure of substandard aluminium sheets worth over N200 million from various aluminium companies in Uyo. “SON in its address further confirmed that the minimum thickness of aluminium roofing sheets is 0.4mm. The substandard products with the quality of 0.25mm were however, imported into Nigeria at the detriment of unsuspecting members of the public.”

Bello however, condemned SON over its attempt to divert the attention of Nigerians away from its responsibility of providing holistic atmosphere for steel and iron manufacturers, stressing that aluminium roofing sheets is a smaller fraction of the total market.

“SON has been silent about the illegalities going on in the endemic smuggling of

galvanised plain and coloured roofing sheets in Nigeria. While we commend SON for the efforts made in the seizure of the goods, we are categorically requesting that names of perpetrators of such unpatriotic acts should be made public in order to reflect transparency and accountability in their operations.

“It is our expectation that SON should censor some of its officials suspected to be collaborating with smugglers of substandard products by mounting surveillance and detective operational techniques across its branches nationwide.

“Importation of substandard products is tantamount to waging war against the federal government’s policies of discouraging the supply of illicit items capable of causing havoc and shortcharging the citizenry. Sparing anyone involved in this dastard acts amounts to aiding and abetting corruption and exposing the nation to ill-infrastructural deficit and challenges,” he added.

The Enugu state House of Assembly has constituted the chairmen of 23 standing committees to facilitate their legislative functions.

Speaker of the state assembly, Edward Ubosi, who made the announcement during the plenary, said that Geoffrey Mbah representing Oji-River Constituency will head the House Committee on Information and Communication while James Akadu of Igbo Etiti West will chair the Education, Science and Technology Committee.

The speaker listed other committee heads to include, Chinedu Ukwu of Aninri, Youth and Sports, Hillary Ugwu of Enugu East Rural as chairman of House Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources.

Sam Ngene of Enugu South Urban, health committee; Ethel Ugwuanyi of Igboeze North II, water resources; Iloabuchi Aniagu of Nkanu West Local, Government and ENSEC Matters and Chima Obieze of Eziagu, works, house and urban development amongst others.

ICT expert urges police to stop criminalising youth

An information communication technology expert, Emmanuel Okoye, has asked the police and other security agencies to stop criminalising youth of the country.

Speaking at the unveiling of an application that has the capacity to detect cyber-crime in Awka on Wednesday, Okoye said that most Nigerian youth were productive and ingenious and therefore should not be labeled criminals by security agencies.

He said as a result of this, he had invented an application that would assist to curb internet fraud, especially in online markets.

Regretting that online products were not certified by regulatory agencies, Nonso said this had caused more health challenges like kidney failure, respiratory issues and others to the people.

He said that “We have geniuses, people who can engrave their names in the sands of time in the ICT world. The issue is that we are in an environment where crime is rather advertised.”

Justice Venchak Gaba of the High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting in Kwali has granted bail to the Managing Director and Chief Executive of Galaxy Transportation and Construction Services Limited, Babagana Abba Dalori on the condition that he signs a N5 million bond.

Delivering ruling on the bail application filed by counsel to Dalori, Chief Joe Kyari Gadzama (SAN) on Wednesday, Justice Gaba also ordered the Galaxy Transportation chief executive to deposit his international passport with the court.

adequately for his defence, adding that an accused is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

“I have gone through the processes before this court and all the provisions cited therein.

When an accused person is arraigned before the court, he is presumed innocent until proven otherwise.

“Bail issues are always at the discretion of the court. The essence of bail is to enable the defendant attend to proceedings and to enable him prepare adequately for his defence.

“In this light, I have exercised my discretion in granting the defendant bail in the sum of N5million and two sureties in like sum. The defendant is to deposit his international passport in the custody of the court,’’ the Judge held.

Earlier, Chief Gadzama (SAN) had prayed the court to grant the defendant bail on liberal terms since he has never had any criminal record in the past.

“The applicant has no criminal record.

The Economic and Financial Crimes

Commission (EFCC) had invited him and he submitted himself voluntarily.

If the application is granted, I assure the court that he will make himself available for trial.

“They defendant submitted themselves since March 29, 2019 and have been incarceration since then.

He has never interfered with the investigation and he will never interfere with the investigation. I urge the court to grant the defendant bail on liberal terms,’’ he said.

Daily Times recalls that the EFCC arraigned the 35-year-old Dalori alongside his Galaxy Transport and Construction Company on a onecount charge, bordering on obtaining N10million through false pretence from one Abubakar Hajara.

The defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge, prompting the prosecution counsel, Maryam Aminu Ahmed to pray the court to remand the suspect in prison custody, pending the commencement of trial.

LG chairmen drags Bala to court over sack Samuel Luka, Bauchi

The Bauchi state Governor, Senator Bala Mohammed have been dragged to court by the caretaker committee chairmen of the 20 local government areas of the state over alleged disengagement from service before the expiration of their tenure.

A former caretaker Chairman of Bauchi Local Government, Alhaji Chindo Abdu, who spoke to journalists in Bauchi said that they were appointed by the former governor to serve for period of nine months each which would elapse in

September 2019.

According to him, Gov. Mohammed immediately after taking over governance issued a statement directing all political appointees to vacate their offices without allegedly taking into cognizance the law that appointed them which he alleged stipulates that they were to serve for nine months.

He said that “after reading the governor’s press statement on the disengagement of political office holders, we wrote a letter to him through the secretary to the state government enlightening him that by law our tenure would

lapse in September, but he still allegedly withheld our salaries and allowances.

“Based on the appointment letters we have, we are to stay there for nine months. In addition, the nine months will expire in September. This month has ended and there is no salary and entitlements which we deserve.

Based on that, we approached a Bauchi state High Court to demand for our rights.

“We are asking the court to order for our reinstatement and payment of salary arrears and other outstanding allowances allegedly withheld by the governor.”

RUGA: Create opportunities for all Nigerians, not only for your people, political party tells Buhari Stories by Patrick Okohue

Ituen

Akpabio will return to Senate – Prophet Ituen A Lagos-based Cleric and Founder of the Christ Deliverance Ministries Inc. (CDM), His Grace, Prophet Ekong Ituen, has said that former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio will return to the Senate Ituen, has been described as a major Prophet with prophecies that have shaken many high and mighty in the country, whose accuracy in prophecies has made him a force to reckon with in the realm of standard predictions.

Speaking with journalists in Lagos, the Akwa-Ibom State born popular cleric, said Senator Godswill Akpabio would return to the Senate.

The cleric, whose accuracy on prophecies has made him a force to reckon with,

however said that it may take a while for him to go back to the Upper Legislative Chambers in Abuja.

Against that backdrop, the man of God urged the people of North West Senatorial District of Akwa Ibom State not to be dismayed by the temporary set-back, asserting that, “Senator Akpabio will surely reclaim his mandate.”

He added that though he wasn’t Akpabio’s fan, some recent events, according to him, has endeared Senator Akpabio to him.

Ituen, a major Prophet in Nigeria who had predicted many events that came to pass, urged Nigerians to live in peace with one another.

Bayelsa sets up committee on performance analysis The Bayelsa State Government has inaugurated a special committee to analyze its sectorial performance in the last seven years.

The Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Daniel Iworiso-Markson while inaugurating the committee said the outcome of their work will give the government a proper perspective on its achievements in the period under review.

Iworiso-Markson charged members of the committee to focus on figures, indices and statistics, saying it will make their work more factual and authentic.

According to him the report of the committee will also guide the incoming administration when it takes over in February next year.

He said “This committee has become necessary in view of the need for government to keep accurate data of all its achievements in the various sectors. No doubt that we have made tremendous achievements especially in education and health but we lack accurate data.

“So with this committee we will have the records to adequately measure the success of the various government policies and

programmes which some members of the public are unaware of.

“For instance the number of enrollees for the Bayelsa State Health Insurance Scheme, the number of employment we have made since 2012 and so on. With your work, we can also measure if the standard of living of the people has improved in the state”.

The Information Commissioner who christened the committee, Bayelsa State Government Performance Analysis Committee gave the members 60 days to submit an interim report.

He expressed confidence that with their experience and being mostly drawn from outside government circle, they will be very objective in their task.

Responding on behalf of the committee, the chairman, Dr. Matthew Ayibakuro expressed his appreciation to the Commissioner for finding them worthy for the assignment.

He pledged the committee’s readiness to hit the ground running and produce a document that will be a reference point for governments, organizations and scholars in public administration and other related fields.

The President Muhammadu Buhari led Federal Government has been challenged to create opportunity for all Nigerians to grow and prosper and not be selective in the approach to creating opportunities.

Giving the advise in a statement, the National Chairman, Alliance for New Nigeria, ANN, Mr. Emmanuel Dania noted that “we believe that the function of government is to provide enabling environment for every Nigeria to thrive and not constrain a part of Nigeria to release their lands under the guise of a settlement programme for cattle breeders.

“We believe that there should be opportunities for all to thrive without the interference of government or any group of people or tribe. We believe that the approach is inappropriate. It is robbing Peter to pay Paul. We believe that the Federal Government can approach this differently by creating the settlements within the lands of the cattle breeders and not further push the crisis through coercion because the owners of the lands to be used for these settlements are also Nigerians and are not less that any herdsman.

Hence their lands should and cannot be taken for in order to settle some herdsmen.

Reacting to the government’s position in creating Rural Grazing Areas (RUGA) in its bid to bring an end to the issues of Fulani herdsmen and herdsmen/ farmers crisis across the 36 states of the federation, the party said though the intention was aimed at achieving peace, but the planned mode of implementation is very offensive to many people.

Buhari The RUGA settlement according to a report credited to the General Secretary of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, Baba Uthman Ngelzarma, when successfully completed would afford Nigerians the opportunity to fully enjoy the benefits of animal husbandry.

The party wondered why despite that this approach has come under grave opposition and has been rejected by southern socio-cultural groups including Afenifere and Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo; as well as the Middle Belt Forum have all rejected the RUGA initiative, the Federal Government insists the approach will bring about the production of pasture grass, water, schools, markets, meat and milk processing and where it can create a sub-sector of the economy and has capacity to create a lot of employment if done properly.

“The concern before every wellmeaning Nigerian that has rejected this approach no matter how noble it may appear, or sound is the variability of every other programme of this present government and it the same government has clearly outlined in its statement on the same issue the concern of the approach being “done properly”.

While calling on the government to rescind its position, the party said if that is not done it has the potential of throwing the nation into a bigger crisis through the RUGA settlement programme. “It must be said that the owners of the lands being trampled upon cannot be pushed further to surrender their inheritance and heritage for individuals running their personal businesses and the government believes it’s the best approach to bring about lasting peace.”

NYPF to Senate: Take disciplinary action against Sen Abbo or face our wrath The Chairman of Nigerian Young Professionals Forum (NYPF), Mr. Moses Siasia, has called on the Senate to immediately take a disciplinary action against Senator Elisha Abbo for attacking a woman, saying the organisation would escalate the matter if the Senate fails to do so.

He also called on the international community to issue a travel ban on any public official, who violates human rights and undermines democratic values.

Siasia, whose organisation was also at the forefront of the advocacy for the passage of the Not too Young to Run Bill into law, said the senator’s action did not represent the character of young Nigerian leaders.

Siasia who said these in an chat with another national newspaper added,

“Speaking from the standpoint of an organisation that has been in the forefront of calls for the inclusion of young people in governance, we are saying that this act by this senator does not represent the collective interest of young minds in Nigeria, who want to contribute their quota to the process of governance.

“I condemn it in its entirety and I am calling on all stakeholders to do the same. As Nigerian Young Professionals Forum, we call on the Senate President, Sen Ahmed Lawan to take a disciplinary action on the senator.

“We would work with the international community to see how they can place travel ban on any public officer found committing such an act.

“We are also calling on them

to place a travel ban on him. Any public officer that violates human rights and undermine democratic values should be banned. This is the only way we can bring them to their sense.

“It is important to build the capacity of young people before they get into office, is very important. I don’t think that this senator who acted in such a manner had some level of quality parental training.

If he had such training he would not have acted in that manner. It is a shameful act. The Senate should set an example with him, if not; we would escalate the issue to a level where the world would be aware of it.

“I think the Senator was operating on some substance at the time he acted in that manner.’’

Supreme Court sets aside conviction of army officer 23 years after Andrew Orolua, Abuja A dismissed army officer, Lieutenant Isaac Obadiah Kigbu has regained his commission after 23 years of legal battle.

The Supreme Court in a split decision of four to one has acquitted and discharged army Lieutenant, Isaac Obadiah Kigbu who was convicted of stealing and conspiracy to defraud by a General Court Martial in 1996.

Kigbu, who was charged with stealing and conspiracy to commit fraud, had appealed the decision of the Court of Appeal Lagos division that upheld the plea of guilty entered for him by his lawyer at the General Court Martial.

Delivering judgment on the appeal written by Justice Tanko Mohammed but delivered by Justice Kumai Bayang Akaahs, the apex court upturn the concurrent decisions of Court of Appeal and General Court Martial.

The apex court stated that the two lower courts were in error to have relied on the defence counsel’s change of his client plea from not guilty to guilty in convicting the defendant of the alleged offences.

Consequently, it set aside the conviction by the General Court Martial and the Court of Appeal in Lagos delivered in 2004.

Justice Mohammed upheld the submission of counsel to Kigbu, R.A. Oluwa that the appellate court erred in law when it held that even though

The Nigerian Navy has debunked the hijack of a Palau flagged Tanker, MT APECUS, off the coast of Bonny,Nigeria.

Navy said in a statement by the director of Naval Information Commodore Suleman Dahun that the alleged hijack was a mastermind by the crews of the tanker.

The alleged hijack of the vessel occurred on April 19, 2019, resulting in the alleged abduction of 7 crew members comprising 5 Indian nationals and 2 Nigerians. A recent report indicated that the 5 Indians were released by the pirates who hijacked the vessel.

Nigerian Navy said its investigations show that this alleged hijack was not executed by pirates as claimed in the

Justice Tanko Muhammad

the General Court Martial made an error in not requiring the appellant to repeat the change of plea from not guilty to guilty and to record same, that failure should not affect the validity of the change of plea from not guilty to guilty or render the whole trial a nullity pursuant to Section 218 of the Criminal Procedure Code.

Justices Kumai Bayang Akaahs , Pual Galinje and Justice Abba-Aji agreed with the lead judgment.

However, Justice Ejembi Eko delivered a dissenting judgment. He held that a military personnel cannot bring the appeal under criminal procedure code. The appellant, he held ought to have come under the military court martial act in which he was tried. He said the procedure adopted by the appellant amounted to an abuse of court process.

Therefore, he dismissed the appeal for lacking in merit.

report but masterminded by a criminal syndicate operating the vessel.

Consequently, the Nigerian Navy has arrested one Mr Osimili Adah, the agent of the vessel, who confessed to have masterminded the abduction of the crew of the vessel following a disagreement within a syndicate involved in crude oil theft.

Mr Adah had since been handed over to the NPF for further investigation and prosecution. Furthermore, the Nigerian Navy is making necessary efforts to debrief the released crew with the view to obtaining intelligence for future operations towards the arrest of other collaborators in this saga.

It will be recalled that in a press release, NIMASA alluded to the involvement of MT APECUS in criminality within Nigerian waters.

This was based on the fact that the

vessel had been conducting trading activities in Nigerian waters since 2014 without valid permits or documentation. NIMASA also observed that the vessel has changed name and the flag under which the vessel operated at least 15 times since 1993 and made 4 MMSI changes which all point to her suspected involvement in illegal activities. Furthermore, it was difficult to ascertain the past movement of the vessel as her Automatic Identification System (AIS) was often switched off for weeks, contrary to standard practice.

These developments are considered deliberate acts to avoid detection.

Notwithstanding, the Nigerian Navy said it remains committed to curbing the menace of crude oil theft and other forms of illegalities in Nigeria’s and the larger Gulf of Guinea maritime domain.

Police goes after cultists who set police station ablaze Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Imo State Police Command has ordered immediate arrest of hoodlums and cultists who on attacked and set the Otoko police station in the Obowo Local Government Area of Imo State ablaze.

The State Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Ladodo, who visited the scene of the incident some minutes after the attack ordered the arrest of all the suspects.

An eye witness account stated that the hoodlums suspected to be cultists attacked policemen on duty at the station and made away with no

fewer than four firearms.

The incident caused pandemonium in the area as residents scampered for safety.

According to them “Otoko Police Station in Obowo Local Government Area of Imo State was set on fire by cultists probably in their devilish attempt to cart away firearms.”

Solicitor General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Justice, Dayo Apata, has asked state justice sector reform teams to activate the implementation of Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015, in their various states.

Apata made the request at the opening of a 3-day Network of Justice Sector Reform Teams conference, holding in Ado-Ekiti.

The workshop is organized by the Federal Ministry of Justice through the Federal Justice Sector Reform Coordinating Committee (FJSRCC) in conjunction with the Rule of Law and Anti Corruption (ROLAC) project.

The FMOJ through the FJSRCC according to Apata, has embarked on a nation-wide train the trainer workshop for the institutions covered by Sections, 29, 33 and 34 of the ACJA, which border on safeguarding rights of prison inmates.

He therefore urged State Reform Teams to work with the officers of institutions from their state that have been trained to drive the implementation of the provisions in their state using the adopted templates and protocols.

“The templates and protocols set out agreed principles and guidelines for robust information gathering, sharing and management as well as framework for resolving cross institutional problems.

“I urge reform teams to activate the implementation of these provisions of the ACJA in their state for the benefit of our people” Apata said.

Addressing participants, Apata, who serves as chairman of FJSRCC, said with the support of development partners, the Justice Ministry has continued to drive the process of mobilization and sensitization of justice sector stakeholders to reform the justice system for effective and efficient justice service delivery and the promotion of the rule of law.

Apata who was represented at the conference by Mrs Maria Austin Odigie, disclosed that 29 states have constituted justice sector reform teams.

He turfed states that are yet to establish theirs to do so without further delay.

In his address, Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi, applauded the Justice ministry and the FJSRCC on the effort to reform the justice system.

He was represented by the Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice Ekiti state, Olawale Fapouhunda.

“These meetings have provided a practical framework for the sharing of ideas and important developments in the administration of justice in Nigeria. “lndeed in my view, the most important objective of this initiative is the sharing of information and expertise of the situation of justice sector reform in our states.

“For us in Ekiti State, the reform of the administration of justice system is not simply a theoretical concept or one that is all about law and justice.

“Government accepts that the socio economic survival of our state depends on our ability to evolve a reform agenda that on one hand meets the expectations of our pecple for a sustainable improvement in the quality of their lives while at the same time promotes fair and equal access to justice for all” the governor stated.

Daily Times Nigeria Thursday, July 4, 2019

Amaju Pinnick charges Super Eagles to return to Nigeria with AFCON trophy The President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Amaju Pinnick, has charged the Super Eagles not to be downcast following their 2-0 loss to Madagascar in their final group game at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) last weekend.

The NFF boss while having a long chat with the Eagles in Egypt. In the company of the Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazu, Mr Pinnick told the players to put the shock defeat behind them and face the remaining games starting with their Round of 16 fixture with renewed vigour.

According to Mr Pinnick, if the Super Eagles put in their best going forward and desist from seeing any team as minows, the dream of returning to Aso Rock with the Afcon trophy will be achieved “No team should be underestimated.

No team should be underrated,” Mr Pinnick warned the Eagles after the humbling defeat suffered against

tournament debutants Madagascar.

He continued: “It is just an eyeopener because we were preparing to play a weak team in the second round, but there’s no weak team in AFCON. “So, now let the big teams come and let’s be ready for them.

“In the last AFCON we won, Mikel will tell you, we started slowly and were 10 minutes away from been eliminated in the first round then we scored twice against Ethiopia and went on to win the title.

“Individually, let us rekindle our spirit. Let us not look at what they would say back home, let us look at what we can do on the field in our next game.

“I had to drag the governor of Abia State to come here and another delegation coming in the next few days.

“I have a lot to do, a lot to drag them to come and you guys must help the NFF. “There is no team that is not beatable or unbeaten but please let us redouble our

effort,” the NFF President pleaded.

While appealing to the players to step up their game, Mr Pinnick who is also the first Vice President of CAF said the charge must not be seen as undue pressure.

“We are not pushing the burden on you; it is the collective burden from all of us.

“Please let us make that old man very proud, he has ensured that you get everything… Like I told you, we already have your bonuses until the final and we don’t want to take it back home “Let them call us whatever name, but we know that we will be berthing in Aso Rock with the trophy, that is the spirit I want from you all,” the NFF president said.

Nigeria are three-time African champions following triumphs in 1980, 1994 and 2013.

The Super Eagles will on Saturday face Cameroon in the Round of 16.

Serena Williams advances to second round

Serena Williams made a solid start to her campaign for an eighth Wimbledon singles title with a 6-2 7-5 victory over Giulia Gatto-Monticone.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion had played in just five tournaments this year coming into Wimbledon, and showed signs of rust as she was broken attempting to serve out both sets.

23

However, she responded with an immediate break to take the first, and swiftly hit back in the second to seal victory in an hour and 20 minutes.

Despite the defeat, the match was a triumph of sorts for the 31-yearold Gatto-Monticone, who was playing in the Wimbledon main draw for the first time in her career.

AFCON: Tanzania’ll keep coach Amuneke ‘to continue with the good work’ – FA chief The Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) technical director of Ammy Ninje has reassured Emmanuel Amuneke of his job with the Taifa Stars.

The former Nigeria international was appointed as the coach of the side in August 2018 and helped the East Africans to qualify for their first Africa Cup of Nations in 39 years.

However, the Taifa Stars had a torrid campaign in the 2019 Afcon finals, where they were eliminated in the group stage, losing to Senegal, Kenya and Algeria to finish at the bottom of Group C.

Despite the uninspiring performances, Ninje is certain the former Barcelona player will be allowed to continue in the rebuilding of the national team.

“Coach Amunike has done a fantastic job. It was not easy because he transformed our football,” he said per FUTAA. “After 39 years, he came in and changed things and always, when you change things, you change people`s mentality.

“It takes time. We will take care of him and keep him here to continue with the good work.”

Ninje revealed the Taifa Stars

will be strengthened with younger players in their quest to have a better performance in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

“For some players who have been in the national team for a while, this may be their last outing,” he continued.

“In modern football, you need youth, energy and tenacity. So, we will evaluate our squad and give a lot of young players the opportunity to shine for the future.

“But time will tell what will be the fate of the old players. So, I hope if we qualify for the next Afcon tournament, we will do better.”

Afcon: Garba Lawal urges Nigeria to Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane reveals 30 players play as a team against Cameroon Ex-Nigeria International Garba Lawal believes Super Eagles are capable of beating any side at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations – including Cameroon – if they show the right attitude and play as a team.

Lawal claims Nigeria’s loss to Madagascar was a one-off and on current form they have what it takes to beat the Indomitable Lions.

He, however, opined that they must do so with determination and willingness to make sacrifices for one another on the pitch, from the beginning until the end of the game.

“I don’t think it will be right for us to judge the Eagles based on their loss to Madagascar because situations like that happen in football and one cannot help it if it does,” Lawal told Goal.

“I have the conviction that these Eagles can beat any team if they decide to play as a team and play with the right attitude.

The attitude was poor against Madagascar and I also admit that we have not been playing too well in the current Afcon.

“Cameroon will provide the right test for us because they are rough and will be very tough to beat as the defending champions of the competition.

The Eagles must play with the right composure and calmness and they must be ready to make sacrifices because Cameroon will not give up so easily.”

Lawal who featured in four Afcon finals and won a gold medal with the Nigeria Under-23 team at the 1996 Olympic Games, said he was thrilled with the way they dealt with Cameroon at the quarter-final stage of the 2004 Afcon in Tunisia.

It was the former Roda JC midfielder who initiated the pass from which Nwankwo Kanu fed John Utaka to score Nigeria’s winning goal against the Indomitable Lions on the day.

“I will say one of my memorable moments as a player was our win over Cameroon at the 2004 Nations Cup because many tipped them to beat us but we went into the game with the right attitude and didn’t allow what others were saying affect

us,” he recalled.

“I still remember what coach Christian Chukwu told me then that I should do a man-marking job on Geremi Njitap who they considered as their engine-room and he also told us other football tactics that we deployed and they worked well. We didn’t allow Cameroon to enjoy their game and even though they took the lead we knew we were capable of coming back.

“Austin Okocha started it with his sublime free-kick which sailed into the net for the equaliser just before half time. The second goal was very magnificent. I can’t recall how I collected the pass but I know that Kanu received a good pass from me and he was able to put Utaka on the run and he finished up the job with the second goal.

“We can achieve the same thing too on Saturday but our players must be ready to play as a team and they must show the right mental attitude too.

Cameroon will be tough but we can beat them with enough seriousness.”

for the pre-season Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has revealed the thirty players that will be taken to the pre-season tour in Canada.

Los Blancos ended the season in an embarrassing manner and they are prepared to start their pre-season earlier enough so as to keep the players fit for the next season campaign.

Zidane will put the players into real test before the season commences, who will be keen carefully select his players.

According to COPE’s El Partidazo, Zidane knows the 26 first team players he’ll take, and Takefusa Kubo among them, and they’re as follows: Goalkeepers: Thibaut Courtois, Andriy Lunin, Keylor Navas and Luca Zidane.

Defenders: Dani Carvajal, Alvaro Odriozola, Sergio Ramos, Raphael Varane, Nacho, Marcelo, Ferland Mendy.

Midfielders: Toni Kroos, Brahim Diaz, Isco, Marco Asensio and Luka Modric.

Forwards: Karim Benzema, Eden Hazard, Rodrygo, Mariano Diaz, Lucas Vazquez, Vinicius Junior, Luka Jovic and Gareth Bale.

Casemiro, Eder Militao, Dani Ceballos and Fede Valverde won’t travel having spent the summer in action.

Melchor Ruiz has also reported that Pintus’ former responsibilities will now be in the hands of Javier Mallo.

As I watched the video again, it felt like a recording from another age, yet it was taped only five years ago. Comrade Adams Oshiomhole was wearing a smart deep-blue suit and red tie over a white shirt. He had shed his trademark brown khaki top and trousers. But looking at this video, not much else appears to have changed, outwardly.

His interviewer on a Channels TV programme had asked him what he thought his legacy was as a two-term governor of Edo State. Oshiomhole took a deep breath. “It sounds like a simple question,” he said, “but it’s very complicated and difficult to answer.”

That reply was not only a summary of his long-winded response; in retrospect, it was also the summary of his political odyssey: complicated and difficult.

He answered the question, of course. Oshiomhole told the story of how his most important legacy in Edo is not necessarily infrastructure – the kilometres of roads constructed or the skyscrapers built. It’s about the change in the democratic space, the return of power to the people and the restoration of their capacity to decide for themselves those they want to lead them.

In the past, Oshiomhole said, the godfathers castrated the people. But now, even citizens near political menopause were feeling a sudden flush of reversal.

Time was when the godfathers not only determined if there was a vacancy, they also decided who would fill the vacancy. They had finally been dealt a big blow and even though they were still on life-support from Abuja, they had been practically vanquished.

That was five years ago, when Oshiomhole was nearing the end of his second term. He wasn’t just sounding off. For years, Tony Anenih, a tin-god and one of the most influential members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had the state in his deadly grip.

Anenih’s influence was spooky and pervasive. His fear was the beginning of wisdom.

The Oshiomhole who stepped forward against Anenih in 2007, daring the lion not just on the national stage but right in his Edo State den, was a miserable mismatch in size and reach. He didn’t have the money, the clout or the byzantine connection in high places that it takes to become a local government councilor in Nigeria, much less a state governor.

But Oshiomhole – well, that Oshiomhole – had a heart and a record that made up for what he lacked in size. He was forged in the furnace of labour struggles

and was later widely perceived as a thorn in the side of capricious governments in many battles over workers’ rights and minimum wage.

In his early political life, Oshiomhole the unionist retained his charm, his glow further brightened by a legend that in spite of the sacrifices and dangers he faced as a labour leader for decades, he refused to collect his entitlement in the end. His popularity grew and even though he did not berth with the Labour Party, the stardust from his trademark khaki still retained its potency.

But it took more than one sling shot of popularity for Oshiomhole, well that Oshiomhole, to become governor of Edo. The tin-gods of Edo politics still defied the people and wrote the result of the election in 2007. The courts weighed in to right the wrong.

Yet, the point had been made: the days of godfathers in Edo politics were over for good and the sanctity of suffrage would become a mantra in Edo nearly two centuries after British trade unionist, George Howell, canvassed “one man, one vote.”

The Oshiomhole who ruled Edo for eight years espoused the same virtues that endeared him to many when he was labour leader.

Wherever he went, he preached the triumph of democracy and the virtue of one-man-one-vote over godfatherism and patronage. He was a champion of justice and made it clear that his mission was to serve the people as best as he could, even if it meant stepping on toes to get the job done.

Of course, he was not perfect.

He was accused of impetuousness and opportunism, of pulling down the temple of Mammon only to install in its place a graven image of hypocrisy, greed and megalomania. These accusations were muted at first.

Later, however, they became louder and louder after his appointment as chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), and then during the party’s controversial primaries.

But has the party overdosed on Oshiomycin? Has the Oshiomhole we thought we knew – the national champion of workers’ rights, guardian of the underdog and vanquisher of godfather politics in Edo – become a victim of his own success or was he a charlatan, faking it all along?

In yet another cyclical episode of successor-predecessor conflict, Obaseki and Oshiomhole have fallen out and Idahosa’s point was that Oshiomhole was becoming exactly what he spent his entire political life fighting against – the new godfather of Edo

politics. Idahosa’s allegations of primitive cronyism and nepotism against Oshiomhole in contemporary Edo politics made Rochas Okorocha’s Imo look like a counterfeit.

All of which is painfully amusing. Idahosa might feel comfortable with the g-word but I’m not sure that his current paymaster, Obaseki, would be able to say the word, ‘godfather’, publicly. When Oshiomhole imposed Obaseki on the party after muscling out his former deputy, Pius Odubu, and any other remote opposition from a fair and transparent contest for the party’s governorship flag, that was godfather tactics – straight out of Anenih’s playbook.

But Obaseki neither recognised it nor permitted himself to think about it at the time because he was the beneficiary. Now, the gods from whose shrine he took a roasted yam are asking for atonement in blood instead of palm oil. Just what godfathers do.

If it were left to Oshiomhole and Obaseki alone, I would rather post a blank page this week than write one word. When push comes to shove, they will make up – like all politicians do – in the closet where they first met and bury the hatchet in the back of the press.

But there’s something deeper; something much deeper than the tantrums of angry politicians here: it’s the identity, or more accurately, the essence of Oshiomhole the man we once thought we knew as slayer of the godfather. That essence now appears diminished, completely at odds with the effigy of a hypocritical, power-drunk, selfobsessed buffoon trolling the media space.

But where’s the real Oshiomhole?

Where’s the Oshiomhole who fought godfathers at every turn and insisted on the right of the people to make their choices?

Where’s the Oshiomhole who railed against patronage and canvassed meritocracy?

Where’s the Oshiomhole who disdained cronyism and extolled competence?

Where’s the Oshiomhole who criticised pomp and extravagance and capped his love of frugality by wearing simple khaki top and trousers?

The Oshiomhole interviewed on Channels TV five years ago, was already in transformation, barely recognisable, except for his constant message of justice and fair play. And now, even that message appears lost in translation. It’s increasingly difficult to recognise Oshiomhole as the same Oshiomhole. What happened, Comrade?
