Dogara fears for future of Nigeria Short News over state of insecurity Group wants female House of Reps speaker Henry Omunu, Abuja

Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara on Thursday expressed concern over the future of the country because of the alarming rate of insecurity across the country. This is just as he declared that the 8th National Assembly holds the record as the most persecuted and harassed parliament in Nigeria’s history. Speaking at the valedictory session of the 8th House of Representatives yesterday, the speaker declared that it is only when the nation’s leaders put aside politics and partisanship, and deploys the best human and material resources to confront the challenge of insecurity that results can be achieved. “It appears we are losing the fight against violence and as if that is not bad enough, the situation is so dire that known statesmen are becoming petrified and speaking up in ways that may further rend our national fault lines. It is like we refused to hear the whispers and now the screams are threatening our ear drums.

“This is a national problem that we can only solve if we pull ourselves together and not apart; regardless of political persuasions or creed. The challenge is to get the leadership that throws out politics and partisanship out of the window. “A leadership that reins in all our best human and material resources to confront these menacing challenges. Yet, instead of uniting to confront this very danger, all one hears are sermons of divisiveness and permutations for 2023 elections. I wonder daily if this is not how the bottom looks like,” he stated. Speaking on the achievements make by the 8th House due to the unity and cooperation of members, the speaker said the cooperation no doubt, enabled the House experience a stable and peaceful four years and to set records that have no parallels in the history of law- making in the nation. “Honourable colleagues, on your behalf, I make bold to say that the 8th House of Representatives and the National Assembly as an institution has been a huge success. This is without apology to whoever may hold a contrary

opinion. The stubborn facts are out there for every commentator to see. “We took off amidst headwinds and turbulence, but on stabilising, we have witnessed book throwers and table climbers transform into solid leaders. We have seen mace grabbers wrestled until they surrendered to the dictates of the rule of law, true friendship and brotherhood. “We have witnessed the transformation of those who struggled to move mere motions to eloquent debaters and to crown it all, those who, at inception did not understand themselves, working together, in spite of whatever differences for the national good. This is the spirit that defines us as legislators, the institution of the legislature and I am happy we embraced it fully.” “The 8th House holds the record as the most persecuted and harassed parliament, ever in Nigeria’s history. Some of our members bear the scars of reckless deployment of institutional prerogatives. We witnessed sieges and invasion by state operatives. Some members suffered witch-hunts, house arrests and false accusations.

The Coalition of Women for Good Governance in Nigeria has appealed to the 9th Assembly members in the House of Representatives to consider a female for the post of speaker and other principal officer positions. Chairperson of the group, Mrs. Esther Izieoma on Thursday said Rep. Nkiruka Onyejeocha remains the best candidate for the position of speaker, while Rep. Kadijat Bukar Abba, representing Damaturu/Gujba/Tarmuwa Constituency, Yobe state should be considered for any principal officer position in the House. Izieoma said that “over the past few weeks, we have remained stringent in our call, not only for gender equity, but also geographical balance in the choice of who emerges as the speaker in the House of Representatives. “We remain highly persuaded and motivated, more than ever, that Onyejeocha remains the most credible, authentic and suited for the position of the speaker of the 9th House of Representatives. “Similarly, Abba is the most qualified as a principal officer in the lower chamber of the National Assembly. It should be reiterated that the position of the office of the speaker is for those with vision and without hanging questions on their character. “It is for those that can deliver on the mandate of promoting good governance and working with the executives in realising the next level agenda. I want to say here that for all of them canvassing for the position, Onyejeocha is the most suited for this position because of her interpersonal relationship with the members of the parliament.

PDP condemns attack on AIT, says it’s an attempt to gag media Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has condemned in its totality, what was described as the unrelenting attempt by the All Progressives Congress (APC)-controlled federal government to cage the media as being witnessed in the ferocious attacks on Africa Independent Television (AIT) by government agencies, particularly the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC). The party said it is evident that the attack on AIT is targeted at intimidating and gagging the media, repress constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech and stifle public opinion, particularly as related to the determination by Nigerians to retrieve the stolen presidential mandate at the tribunal. The party in a statement by Kola Ologbondiyan said the Buhari administration has demonstrated continuous disregard for freedom of the press. “This clamp-down on AIT as well as earlier siege on other media houses and journalists under the APC administration, ostensibly point to a plot to frighten and asphyxiate the media, shut down outlets perceived to hold dissenting views and ultimately foist a siege mentality on our citizenry to restrain their demand for fairness and justice in the polity. “The APC is mortally afraid that a free press will raise the red flag and expose its manipulations and any attempt to subvert the course of justice, especially in the Presidential petition, hence this desperation to strangulate the media and cow Nigerians from freely expressing themselves,” the PDP stated.

Court refuses to bar Gbajabiamila from contesting speakership position Andrew Orolua, Abuja A Federal Capital Territory High Court, Jabi on Thursday refused to bar House of Representatives Leader, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila from contesting the position of speaker of the 9thHouse of Representatives which will be inaugurated on June 11. The suit seeking to bar the frontrunner for the House speaker post was filed by Ikenga-Imo Ugochinyere and the Action People’s Party (APP) on May 30. Apart from Gbajabiamila, other respondents in the suit are the clerk of the National Assembly, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the inspector general of police. Justice Charles Agbaza refused to grant the order in an ex-parte motion seeking an interim injunction to restrain Gbajabiamila from contesting for the speaker of the 9th National Assembly and other principal offices of the assembly.

The judge also refused to grant the fifth order praying the court for an interim injunction restraining the National Assembly from recognising the candidacy of Gbajabiamila for the speakership position or swearing him in as speaker in the event he wins the election. Justice Agbaza however, ruled that the defendants should be served the court processes by way of substituted means instead of restraining Gbajabiamila which was part of the orders sought before the court. Also, the judge granted an order of accelerated hearing and adjourned the suit until June 14 for hearing. Meanwhile, the claimants, Ugochinyere and his party are alleging in the suit that Gbajabiamila, the member representing Surulere 1 Federal Constituency of Lagos state had been convicted and sentence to prison. The claimants further alleged that Gbajabiamila had been convicted for the offence of involving in dishonesty and

fraud by the Supreme Court of State of Georgia, United States of America. Ugochinyere claimed in the suit that Gbajabiamila gave false information in Form CF001 he submitted to INEC in 2011 and 2018 that he has no criminal allegation or sentence. The claimant added in the suit that while the defendant was living in the United States, he was subjected to an investigation by the investigative panel of the State Disciplinary Board for violation of Georgia Rules of Professional Conduct. Ugochinyere alleged that the offence against Gbajabiamila arose out of the defendant’s involvement in the case he has between Ms. Hadyatou Barry and her sister Yaye, who were involved in an accident in 2001 and engaged the service of the defendant. The claimant alleged in the suit that the Gbajabiamila later settled the case for the two sisters, received a cheque of $25, 000, but failed to communicate and remit the share due to the sisters.

The All Progressives Congress National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu and the Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) have commiserated with the Managing Director of Thisday, Eniola Bello, over the death of his wife, Mrs. Helen Eniola-Bello. Mrs. Eniola-bello, 50, died on June 4 at the New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton, United Kingdom after a three-year battle with breast cancer. Mrs. Eniola Bello was a banker, businesswoman and distance learning tutor with The Skills Network, UK. In a statement on Thursday by his media aide, Tunde Rahman, the former Lagos state governor also extended his condolences to the Chairman of Thisday and Arise News, Nduka Obaigbena, the management and staff of Thisday over the demise. In the condolence letter he personally signed, Asiwaju Tinubu wrote: “My dear Eni-B, please accept my sympathy and condolences over the recent passing of your wife, Mrs. Helen Eniola-Bello, at the New Cross Hospital, Wolverhampton, United Kingdom. “I know it hurts so deeply to lose a loving wife and dependable partner. I wish I could find enough words to comfort you at this moment. You must, however, take solace in the time your wife spent while with us and her good service to God and humanity. “I understand she was a banker and businesswoman, an excellent woman, affectionate wife and dutiful mother of your children who was loved by all those who came in contact with her.

Flood destroys 20 houses, farmland in Calabar

No fewer than 20 houses, including farmlands have been destroyed by flood following the heavy rains in Calabar, capital of Cross River state. The heavy rains which started at about 9 p.m. on Wednesday evening to the early hours of Thursday, also forced some residents in Calabar South to vacate their homes for fear of their lives. Assessing the extent of the flood in parts of Calabar South on Thursday, acting Director General of the Cross River state Emergency Management Agency (SEMA), Princewill Ayim, confirmed that ”most of the houses affected were erected along the waterways.’’ Ayim said that the flood affected parts of Calabar South, including Target Road, Ebito, Atu, Musaha, Murray and other streets, including farmlands at Anantigha by Slaughter Road. According to him, some residents of the affected areas have been temporarily displaced from their homes, adding that the agency had continued sensitisation on the need to shun erecting buildings along waterways. He said that although, no life was lost to the flood, economic activities and farming were affected and properties worth millions of Naira destroyed. “The heavy rains that fell between last night and the early hours of today have caused havoc in parts of Calabar South. Over 20 houses were flooded and properties worth millions of Naira destroyed. “At Anantigha Street in Calabar South, over five farmlands were destroyed by the floods and the farmers can no longer harvest their crops because most of the crops like maize and cassava were uprooted by the flood prematurely. “Also, the floods had caused an artificial lake behind the Anantigha Market and over 15 houses are said to be in danger because the scope of the artificial lake is expanding every time it rains heavily.

Governors` inauguration and the day after

Raymond Oise-Oghaede

The various inauguration ceremonies held across different states on 29th of May marked the commencement of another phase of governance in the affected states. While some witnessed the coming-in of an entirely new administration, some others witnessed the second term (continuity) of the subsisting administrations. In the same vein, some states also witnessed change in batons from one party to another. All the same, those events have kicked started the journeys of four years according to the constitutional provisions of our country. Therefore, I am using this medium to congratulate all the governors and deputies on their successful inaugurations and taking over of the mantle of governance. I pray that the Almighty God will guide and protect them to making their tenures worthwhile and memorable in the history of their respective states. It is in line with my best wishes for them that I am inclined to take further steps to offer them some important tips that will be crucial in ensuring the smooth and effective discharge/ performance of their duties/functions. Firstly and foremostly, you must realize the fact that by that act of inauguration, you have been inducted to be the representatives of the people, by the people and, for the people; and, not for particular political party(ies) or selected individuals or group of people. You are no longer representatives of specific wards, constituencies, local governments or divisions of your state; but that of the entirety of the state. This implies that you have ceased to be at the beck and call of your god father(s)/mentor(s); but, you are to be responsive to the basic needs of the electorates. Therefore, your loyalty should be to the state and the people and not to leaders of your political party, selected elders, traditional or religious rulers and institutions. Haven imbibed the above realities; you must be prepared to make positive impacts in the lives of the people by your resolve to leaving enduring legacies in your state. You must be able to rise above board and shake off the burden of failures or shortcomings of your predecessor (for the first termers) and make deft moves to put your state on the parts of progress. In this regard, the most important thing to do is to adopt the RAY`s THEORY FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE. In this case, you need to do a holistic REVIEW of the performance of your predecessor or your first term (as the case may be) to enable you lay solid and objective foundation for the new tenure; Thereafter,

you should comprehensively APPRAISED the assets and liabilities of your state vis-à-vis the functional budget in place. Thereafter, you must be determined not to YIELD to pressures and antics of detractors and sycophants in your quests to doing the needful and moving the state forward. This is to be closely followed by the SWOT ANALYSIS in which you are expected to work on the STRENGH of your state to maximize returns; identify the WEAKNESS of your predecessors (for first termers) and or of your first term (for second termers) and devise means of improving or turning them around positively. You are also to identify the OPPORTUNITIES inherent in your state and optimize same to providing the basic needs of the people and making them enjoy the dividends of democracy. Also, the THREATS that could hinder you from performing your functions/duties towards meeting set goals and targets should be identified and avoided or eliminated. In furtherance to the above, governors should have it at the back of their minds that each state has its peculiarities; and, that it will be wrong and reckless for a state with high potential in agriculture to adopt the programs and set targets of another state with high potential in industrialization and still expect to achieve the same results. It will not be surprising if such state waste all the accruing resources and revenues to pursuing unrealistic programs that will not impact positively on the fortune and progress of the state. Therefore, it would be expedient to identify the peculiar needs of your domain and prioritize their accomplishments on a scale of preference. Also, it will be in the interest of any governor that is determined to succeed to look beyond political or sentimental considerations in assembling a team of qualified, capable, patriotic and willing persons to join in the project of moving their state forward. Any government that is formed on the basis of sentiments will not be able to move outside the box to accomplishing the desired results. Such administration will find it very difficult if not impossible to shake off parochial and unobjective considerations in place of objectivism and result oriented decisiveness. When all policies and actions are tied to satisfying a clique or cabal by doing their biddings rather than being resolute and clinging to taking decisions for the overall interests of the masses; those same sets of

people will be the first to condemn and crucify you when things go awry. With this in mind, it will be very crucial to appoint and put the right people in the right positions without fear or favour. Do not imbibe the idea of putting `square pegs in round holes` in the quest to satisfying `elders/leaders of your party`. Do not appoint a medical doctor as the Commissioner for Works and Housing while also appointing a Civil Engineer, Architect or Estate Surveyor as Commissioner for Health because they are the anointed or chosen candidates of your party or mentor. In addition to the above, governors should also device means of reaching out to the people at the grassroots. The fact that the federal government has opted to be paying allocations directly to Local Government Councils is instructive. In the recent pasts, most governors abandoned the interior parts of their states while concentrating developments in the capital city and other selected areas to give people the impression that they are `working` when in the true sense of it, 80% of the interiors are in states of decay. Some of them did not even know the deplorable conditions of those abandoned areas until when they embarked on electioneering campaigns to seek for second term votes. Dishearteningly, they are always quick to forget those areas and the people immediately they secured the desperately sought-after `2nd term`. If you are one of such governors, this is the time to retrace your steps by `putting-in` all efforts possible towards ensuring that you do the needful and make the people to enjoy the dividends of democracy. Make your government to be felt at the Local Government Areas in collaboration with their respective Chairmen. Endeavour to tour the nook and cranny of your state to afford you first hand information which are necessary to guide you in prioritizing your goals and objectives. It will enable you to know the true state of affairs in every areas of your state and also make it difficult, if not impossible to be derailed by the `cooked information` of `parasitic sycophants` who are always milling around every government in power. You may wish to also constitute committees of `SECRET OBSERVERS/INFORMANTS` (under the RAY`s Theory) who will be on monitoring assignments from one location to the others; or from one Ministry/Agency/ Parastatal to the others; to make necessary findings for your perusal and considerations.

This will make people to sit up and take up their responsibilities seriously because of the awareness that they are under watch by unknown agents of government. Finally and most importantly, all state governors should join hands together and assist one another and the federal government to fighting the security challenges in the country. The Governors Forum should not be seen as an avenue for frolicking and engaging in trivialities; rather, it should be for telling yourselves the truth and working in collaboration to finding lasting solutions to the country`s common problems and challenges. As the popular saying goes “when two brothers engage in serious discussions and come out smiling; it means that they did not tell themselves the truth; but, when they come out frowning; it means they have sincerely told one another the truth”. Thus, you are expected to deliberate on issues of national concerns with patriotic zeal and commitments. If there is need to criticize one another or any constituted authority(ies) and or even the federal government, do so objectively and patriotically with the aim of proffering workable solutions. Always endeavour to do the needful rather than staying away or keeping mum for fear of the unexpected by taking decisive and justified stand on issues. You should inculcate the option of standing on path of honour for the sake of good governance and not for the satisfaction of the directives or personal interests of leaders or elders of your political, tribal and religious affiliations. So whether you are from the North, East, South or West; or whether you are Muslim, Christian, Traditionalist or others; or whether you are APC, PDP, APGA or others; it does not matter; the most important thing is that you all are the same. Therefore, the forum should be seen as an embodiment of patriotic men of honour who should be prepared to call a spade a spade without fear or favour. The forum should put machineries in place to securing their common borders; by so doing, the perpetrators of those heinous crimes will be boxed-in and crushed, while those outside the territories will be repelled or prevented from gaining access into the country. If the above tips are put into working considerations, it will lead to overwhelming developments across all parts of our nation. Please note that the above recommendations are without prejudice to all subsisting suits at the various Election Petition Tribunals. We are waiting and watching.

Britain, Go or stay, stop diverting attention

Owei Lakemfa

A Nigerian genius, Odia Ofeimun asked me a rhetorical question: “How does a minority which takes control of the majority, retain power?” He answered: “By force or falsehood” I added: “Or both.” Although he raised it within the context of the ethnocentric power relations in Nigeria, it is also true of Britain. For three centuries from 800 AD, the Vikings from the Scandinavian countries of Sweden, Norway and Denmark poured out, attacking ships and raiding coastal areas, especially in Europe. They later forced France to cede the northern part of the country to them, which they named Normandy. The Vikings had a sense of entitlement, so when the Anglo-Saxon (English) throne became vacant in 1066, following the death of Edward the Confessor, who left no heir, Norwegian Vikings led by Harald Hardrada felt they had a right to seize the throne. But the invaders were defeated by the English led by Harold Godwinesson. However, the war-weary English were no match for a second invading Viking army, with the Normans led this time by 38-year old William, Duke of Normandy. William crowned himself King of England on Christmas Day in 1066 and became known as William the Bastard or William the Conqueror. Applying Ofeimum’s theory of how minorities rule majorities, history shows how the conquering Vikings/Normans established the British monarchy which subsist till date, ruled the majority English, brought Scotland and Wales and part of Ireland under their control and called the new territory, the United Kingdom. It also shows how small Britain invaded 95 countries of the world, conquering and colonising vast territories including India and Nigeria, singing “Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves!”

and vowing that the sun would never set on its empire. But the sun actually set on it as the bruising Second World War saw the demise of the empire called “Great” Britain. A humbled Britain tried to join the European Common Market (Now the European Union, EU) in 1963 and 1967, but then French president, Charles De Gaulle vetoed this. His argument was that Britain, with its balance of payment problems, devalued currency, tradition of obtaining cheap food from all parts of the world and its “habits and traditions”, was unfit to join the rest of Europe. De Gaulle died in 1970, and three years later, Britain under Prime Minister Edward Heath, was admitted into the European Common Market. Forty-nine years after De Gaulle blocked Britain, the country itself voted to exit the body in what has become known as Brexit. But in the last three years, Britain, which had taken the democratic decision to exit the EU, continues to dilly-dally, rather than take a principled position in its departure from the European Union. This tells a lot about Old Britain which, to use a trite English expression, wants to eat its cake and have it; it claims to belong to the European Union without wanting to abide by its basic programmes. A major achievement of the EU is a common currency, the euro, but Britain sticks to its British pound sterling. EU has a common visa, the Schengen, but Britain sticks to its own individual visa. Britain, which had through the use of force, falsehood, cunning and unparalleled ruthlessness ruled, conquered, colonised or seized major parts of the world, including the United States, Canada, Australia, the Palestine and many parts of Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, in Brexit, exposed itself as merely a smart alec with a sense of entitlement.

Although it voluntarily joined a Union which logically dictates that it must give up some of its sovereignty, Britain complained that it was losing some sovereignty to the EU Executive and wanted this fully restored. While EU law allows the free movement of the citizens of member countries, including the right to live and work in any part of the continent, Britain sought to restrict the free movement of citizens from some EU member countries especially Eastern European countries like Romania and Poland. While Britain gets a lot of services from the EU, including subsidy for its farmers, it complains that it is contributing £13 billion ($19 billion) annually to the EU. The Brexit supporters argued that it is better for Britain to directly control and utilise this contribution. So Britain held a referendum on June 23, 2016 on the basis of the question: “Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?” The result was 17,410,742 or 51.89 per cent voting for Britain to exit the Union (referred to as Brexit) and 16,141,241 or 48.11 per cent voting to remain. The results showed that the primary force for Brexit were the English who voted 53.38 per cent for exit and 46.62 per cent to remain. The only minority group that voted for exit was Wales, with 52.53 per cent for and 47 per cent against. Scotland, which is trying to secede from the United Kingdom posted an overwhelming 62 per cent to remain, while 38 per cent voted exit. Northern Ireland, with its restless Irish population who want to have unfettered access to the rest of Ireland, voted 55.78 per cent to remain, while 44.22 per cent voted Brexit. Only 33 per cent of Asian voters and 27 per cent Black voters wanted exit, the rest voted for Britain to remain in the EU.

With the vote, Prime Minister David Cameron, who had campaigned to remain, resigned and his hardline home secretary, Theresa May, who was also opposed to Brexit, replaced him vowing to implement a programme she campaigned against. On March 29, 2017, her government invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on European Union, starting a two-year process within which Britain was to exit the EU. That was when the tantrums started. So when the exit date came, Britain remained undecided, with Mrs. May rushing a number of times to European countries and the EU headquarters in Brussels to beg for more time, which she got under humiliating circumstances. Although her three years in office has been consumed by Brexit, she has lost all votes in parliament on the issue. Brexit has become a non-stop comedy in which Britain not only entertains on the world stage, but also popularises and coins all sorts of words and expressions. These include Brexit, Irish Backstop, Blind or Blindfold Brexit, Hard Border, Chequers Plan. No Deal Brexit, Hard Brexit, Soft Brexit, Slow Brexit, Leavers, Brexiteers, Brextremist, Brexiter(s), Lexiters, Remainer and Remoaner. Exactly one week ago, the Prime Minister tearfully resigned. Theresa May wept in May for failing to achieve the Brexit mission she never had faith in; it is not her failure, but that of her country which placed responsibilities on a person who by speech, demonstration and vote showed clearly she was opposed to Brexit. I would have campaigned for the Brexit entertainment to continue, except that it is diverting attention from serious global issues like insecurity, senseless wars, growing mass poverty, hunger and climate change.

Editorial Commentary

Edo Assembly passes 71 bills, 191 resolutions in four years The Edo House of Assembly on Thursday said it passed 71 bills and adopted 191 resolutions in the last four years. The Speaker of the house, Mr Kabiru Adjoto, made this known in Benin during the valedictory session of the state’s 6th Assembly which was inaugurated on June 8, 2015. “This valedictory session, distinguished honourable members, is imperative, germane and significant. “It has provided a veritable platform for us to enumerate the giant strides recorded since inauguration of the sixth assembly in 2015 by former Governor, Adam Oshiomhole. “As elected members of the house representing the various constituencies, we have sacrificed our energies, resources, time and professional skills to add values to the lives of the electorate. “The journey has been tortuous, challenging, but has given us a viable opportunity to contribute our quota towards the social-economic and political development of our constituencies. “We are most grateful to

God Almighty for preserving and protecting our lives throughout the voyage in the house without recording death of any member of the sixth assembly. “Of particular interest among the bills passed is the one for a law to prohibit forcible entry and illegal occupation of landed property by Community Development Associations (CDAs),” he said. Adjoto noted that the bill disbanded the operations of the CDA which became a cartel and avenue for amassing wealth at the detriment of residents of various communities. He said that the house deliberated on the bill and x-rayed the necessity to create conducive atmosphere in the various communities. “The assembly also passed a bill for a law to prohibit and criminalise the existence and membership of secret cults in Edo “We salute the vision and concept of the present administration of Godwin Obaseki to also transmit the executive bill to prohibit trafficking in persons,” he

added. According to the speaker, the bill was applauded by the people and has since been accented to by the governor. The speaker thanked members and staff of the assembly for their support and cooperation, adding that the assembly built a team of committed legislators who embraced their assignments with deep passion. Members who spoke one after the other went down memory lane on their achievements and regrets as lawmakers of the 6th assembly. The Majority Leader, Roland Asoro, moved for the house to adjourn sine die and the motion was seconded by Mrs Elizabeth Ativie (APC Uhunwmode). Adjoto thereafter handed over the mace to the Clerk of the house, Yahaya Omogbai, and directed all members to hand over government property in their possession to him before 12 midnight on Friday. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the 7th Assembly is expected to be inaugurated on a later date.

BPE warns ex-PHCN staff over verification exercise

BPE Director General, Alex Okoh The Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), says it is not conducting another verification exercise for the defunct staff of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN) as is being circulated in some quarters. A statement issued by Amina Othman, the Head, Public Communications, BPE, made this clarification on Thursday in Abuja. She also said that the organisation was not in any way connected with the purported verification by a certain group and warned those concerned to be very careful. “It must be noted that each time the bureau carries out verification of former staff of the defunct PHCN, adequate publicity is carried out with the involvement of the National Union of Electricity Employees (NUEE) and the Senior Staff Association of Electricity And Allied Companies (SSAEC). “However, in the purported verification by the group these are absent. “BPE wishes to dissociate itself from the purported verification and warns all former staff of the PHCN and general public to beware. To be

warned is to be forearmed,” it said. The BPE said its attention had been drawn to attempts by a group of former staff of the defunct PHCN to link the bureau to a purported verification exercise for the disengaged staff of the entity, and had circulated various correspondences to their members in that regard. According to it, the correspondences are captioned: “BPE-Notice To All Disengaged Staff Of Ex-PHCN Staff.” It noted that the correspondence was written in poor English Language, and that the group represented by one Ndiwe Okechukwu requested former staff of the company to visit designated venues in the country with relevant documents and a processing fee of N1,000 each. The statement quoted part of the correspondence to the former staff of the company. “Due to the secrecy of our meetings and struggle towards getting our unpaid claims, it is advised that those to fill the expected form should come to the various designated venues with their particulars as prescribed. “No one is expected to be allowed to make a photo copy of it. Be it a blank or completed copy. This is for strict compliance please. “BPE released 10,000 forms to be shared for all the zones across the nation and the beauty of it is that the form has a security number and the form must be returned as hard copy with the requirements stated therein above and as such should not be photocopied. “And after the first 10,000 has been processed and payment will commence on it there after another 10,000 will be released as above until they finished the whole 48,000 staff.” The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), reports that PHCN was privatised in 2013, which eventually resulted in the unbundling of PHCN and the establishment of power Distributing Companies (DISCOs) across the country.

OUR POSITION Curbing HIV/AIDS menace in Nigeria The Human Immune-deficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has remained a global challenge for which there is no cure. In the three decades since the epidemic reached its height, 39 million people have died while 35 million people are living with the virus worldwide. Most of the dead and infected are in sub-Saharan Africa or other low- and middle-income countries of the world. The social stigma remains, but medical advances have allowed people with the disease to live longer, healthier lives. The first case of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria was reported in 1986. Since then, the number of people living with HIV or AIDS (PLWHA) has steadily increased with the epidemic moving into a ‘generalized’ state. Data made available during the 2018 World AIDS Day had indicated that about 9.4 million were counselled and tested as regards HIV/AIDS in 2017, out of which 4.98 million were female and 4.031 male. It added that 239,542 persons tested positive (136,987 female and 102,555 male). The report further revealed that only 18 percent of people living with HIV/AIDS in Nigeria are aware of their status, an indication that there is still a 52 percent gap in advocacy. The HIV epidemic has further weakened and threatened to overwhelm the Nigerian health care system, increased the number of orphans and increased the cost of achieving set developmental goals by decreasing the size of the workforce, mainly adults in their most productive years of life (15-60 years). The high manpower-intensive sectors of the economy are mostly affected including the agricultural, educational and health sectors as well as the rural economy. In summary, the impact of HIV/AIDS on Nigeria’s social fabric and on its economic development and well-being continue to be pervasive and, unless controlled, will continue to undermine the quality of life of Nigerians. There is high commitment to fight HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, as evidenced by the initiation of the Presidential Council on AIDS, the National AIDS/ STD Control Programme (NASCP), and the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) which is a multi-sectoral agency including members from many government ministries and civil society. At the state level, State Action Committees on AIDS (SACA) have been established, while at the local level there are Local Action Committees on AIDS (LACA). The mission of NACA is to provide an enabling policy environment and a stable ongoing facilitation of proactive multisectoral planning, coordinated implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all HIV/AIDS prevention and impact mitigation activities in Nigeria.

Unfortunately, one of the biggest challenges in the HIV response has remained unchanged in the past years. HIV disproportionally affects people in vulnerable populations that are often highly marginalized and stigmatized. Thus, most new HIV infections and deaths are seen in places where certain higher-risk groups remain unaware, underserved or neglected. About 75% of new HIV infections outside sub-Saharan Africa are in men who have sex with men, people who inject drugs, people in prisons, sex workers, or transgender people, or the sexual partners of these individuals. These are groups who are often discriminated against and excluded from health services. The universal goal of HIV prevention and control is to reduce new infections to zero by 2030, but worries remain about gaps in the number of people receiving treatment in Nigeria. With a population of about 9.4 million People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), an equivalent to 10 percent of the global HIV burden, only an estimated 1,093,233 are on treatment. Several hundreds of others that qualify for treatment are left out. In 2013, 22 percent or 51,000 of all new child HIV infections that occurred globally were recorded in Nigeria and findings also show that the nation is not progressing as expected with its Prevention of MotherTo-Child Transmission of HIV or PMTCT programme because thousands of HIV positive pregnant women that are not on treatment still transmit the virus to their babies during or after birth. Nigerians appear to be resting on their oars with the false perception that HIV/AIDS no longer poses danger to our society. We must therefore re-jig our information strategy to encourage behaviour change for key affected populations and urge all pregnant women to get screened for HIV. We must also invest more on PMTCT. The message about HIV testing should be clear. Even with all the medical advances, it is essential to encourage HIV testing within the populace to ensure everyone knows their HIV status. We must address complaints by people living with HIV/AIDS about dwindling access to treatment and join efforts to get international donors to renew interest in the funding for the eradication of the scourge. Tackling the HIV epidemic with so many people not on treatment would be an exercise in futility. Therefore, the way to go is to ensure antiretroviral treatment is available and accessible for all people living with HIV. Nigeria must also adhere strictly to the recommendation of the World Health Organisation (WHO) that everyone with a diagnosis of HIV should be placed on antiretroviral treatment as soon as possible, irrespective of viral load.

Speakership tussle: Progressives Reps- Short News elect endorse Gbajabiamila/Wase ticket Kwara PDP elders mourn Emir of Ilorin’s mother Henry Omunu, Abuja A group of returning and newly elected House of Representatives members known as the 9th Assembly Progressives have adopted House Leader, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila and Rep. Ahmed Wase as speaker and deputy speaker of the 9th House of Representatives respectively. The group led by Rep. Oluwole Oke, representing Obokun/Oriade Federal Constituency of Osun state and is made up of non – APC members and members – elect in a statement on Thursday, explained that the move to endorse Gbajabiamila and Wase as speaker and deputy was informed by legislative norms and global best practices obtainable in the legislature. Rep. Oke stated that “in mature democracies with entrenched legislative traditions, the moment there is a leadership vacuum, the leader of a majority party in the legislature automatically assumes headship of that House. Examples abound, including, the recent speakership of Nancy Pelosi. “For this reason and in order for us to deepen the progressive values in the National Assembly, we the 9th Assembly Progressives

have adopted the joint ticket of Femi/Wase in the speakership race. “Also, the President who doubles as the leader of Gbajabiamila’s party has nominated him for the speakership position, having deemed him fit as a man that will foster peace, unity and prosperity throughout the 9th Assembly. Endorsing and voting for him, is therefore, an endorsement and vote for a smooth and productive working relationship between the executive and the legislature in the new government,” he said. The lawmaker added that Gbajabiamila is the most experienced and prepared candidate in the current speakership race, as a member of the House since 2003 who has played pivotal roles in creating the right legislative culture, values and practice which now characterize the legislative arm of government. “His commitment to the defence of democratic values is glaring and he has been consistent in his views, values and votes, which is the hallmark of a true parliamentarian. “Since becoming a member in 2003, Gbajabiamila has sponsored some of the most critical bills that have been debated on the floor of the House of Representatives. Some of his bills were pivotal and contributed to the amendment of the 1999 Constitution,” the

group pointed out. They reiterated that Gbajabiamila’s innate brilliance shows in the quality of bills and motions he has sponsored in the House, adding that his contributions to debates are passionate, deep, insightful and always logical. “He has vast understanding of the rules of the House and is a master in legislative proceedings. He commands the respect of the members of the House. In 2015, he was overwhelmingly elected as the leader of the House and he gave support to the current House leadership for the entire term of the 8th Assembly. “He has also contributed immensely to making legislative work easy. A notable contribution he made is the printing and distribution of the rules of the House free of charge to all members of the 8th Assembly. “We the 9th Assembly Progressives believe that now is the God ordained time for him and we must to join our hands with the voice of the people, which is the voice of God. “We the undersigned members -elect and returning members of the 9th Assembly Progressives hereby, adopt Femi Gbajabiamila as speaker and Ahmed Wase as deputy speaker of the 9th House of Representatives,” the group stated.

Ogun monarch appeals to FG, TCN for compensation Abiodun Taiwo, Abeokuta

Following series of protest from residents and landlords in Ejio, an agrarian town in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun state, the Elejio of Ejio, Oba Olusesan Ogunmuyiwa has appealed to the federal government and the Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) to expedite action on the planned compensation of house owners in Iludun area of the town. The compensation is for owners of buildings that would be affected by the construction of a proposed power sub-station in the town. Oba Ogunmuyiwa made the appeal while addressing representatives of the Iludun Landlords Association and other residents of the area who visited his palace to protest following rumours that land grabbers had invaded the community to forcefully take over their lands. The traditional ruler noted that there was no land grabber in the community, but the federal government through the Transmission Company of Nigeria needs the land for the benefit of the state and the country in general. He said the transmission company is planning to construct a $200 million power transmission project in five different locations in the state, including Ejio, adding that the project when completed will address the inadequacy of the country’s power transmission capacity.

National Assembly bars journalists from covering inauguration Henry Omunu, Abuja Weeks after the management of National Assembly attempted to deregister journalists covering the parliament, the management has again initiated moves to bar over 100 journalists covering the Senate and House of Representatives from covering the inauguration of the 9th National Assembly on June 11. On Thursday, the National Assembly management issued a circular that only 10 journalists out of the accredited 82 covering the House of Representatives would be allowed access into the gallery to cover the inauguration of the 9th House and election of new presiding officers of the House.

The same circular was issued in respect of journalists covering the Senate with only 12 members of the Senate press corps short-listed to cover the inauguration and election of new Senate presiding officers. Traditionally, journalists accredited to cover both chambers of the National Assembly are allowed access to the press gallery to cover the inauguration and subsequent election of presiding officers which is the first legislative assignment of the lawmakers. This practice was observed in the sixth and seventh assemblies as the accreditation of journalists was done smoothly as more than 25 reporters and camera men were accredited from the Senate and House press corps while others were allowed access into

the complex. Immediately after the inauguration and election of presiding officers, movements are no longer restricted to enable reporters and cameramen carry out their duties. But, following the latest circular, it is apparent that reporters and cameramen of some media houses are most likely to be locked out of the complex until the entire proceedings are over. As at press time, moves have been initiated to meet with the National Assembly management to increase the number of slots for journalists that would cover the inauguration as well as to ease the restriction on movement to allow other journalists access into the National Assembly complex.

NAPTIP seals 2 brothels in Calabar for harbouring under-age girls The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) on Thursday sealed two brothels in Calabar for allegedly harbouring under-aged commercial sex workers. Leader of the NAPTIP operation team, Godwin Eyake, told newsmen that the operation followed an order of the Federal High Court in Calabar. “We are carrying out the order of the Federal High Court, Calabar, to seal the brothels pending the determination of criminal investigation against their owners,’’ he said. Eyake said that the agency had earlier carried out a raid on the brothels after it was discovered that they were harbouring under-aged girls for prostitution. “We had taken the owners of the brothels to court and the court ordered for the sealing of the brothels pending investigations. So, we are here to carry out the court’s order. It may be temporary or it may be permanent, the court will decide,’’ he added. Eyake, who is the director of operations Uyo Command of NAPTIP, described the use of under-aged girls for prostitution as sad, assuring that the agency was determined to rid the zone of child trafficking and prostitution. “There are many of such brothels in Calabar, but with time, we will visit all of them. It is criminal to use under-aged girls for prostitution, whether within Nigeria or outside the country. “NAPTIP is out for the perpetrators of this ugly act and anybody caught will face the full weight of the law,’’ he said.

Respite, on Thursday came the way of three ex officials of the Nigerian Bar Association, Ikeja branch as a special offences court sitting at Ikeja, Lagos, admitted them to bail in the sum of N500, 000. The ex officials - Adesina Ogunlana and Yinka Faroumbi, who were ex chairmen and a former financial secretary, Aderinola Kappo are to provide two sureties in like sum, one of whom must own a landed property within the jurisdiction of the court. The judge, Mojisola Dada, while delivering her ruling held that the prosecution failed to provide proof that the defendants, especially the first defendant, tampered with prosecution witnesses. According to the Judge, there

was no proof that the defendants jumped administrative bail or that the third defendant gave a fake address to the EFCC. “The allegation that the three defendants jumped administrative bail was not proven, although the first and third defendants said they were not around on the last Friday they were supposed to appear before the EFCC. But, they presented themselves the next Monday for arraignment, despite not being served by the EFCC.” “There is no evidence that shows that the EFCC investigated the claims of the third defendant that she was in an hospital in Badagry on that Friday. The EFCC also failed to produce the second defendant in court for arraignment despite being in EFCC custody up until then.” “Failure to appear on the last Friday should not be sufficient reason to deny them bail but they will not be granted bail on self-

recognition.” “The defendants shall remain on temporary bail pending the perfection of their bail within two weeks, failure of which they will be remanded in prison.” Meanwhile the matter has been adjourned till July 3, for commencement of trials. The defendants are standing trials on a 30 count charge bordering on alleged money laundering, stealing, and conspiracy. The trio are accused of conspiring to steal N20 million belonging to the NBA.

I’ll revolutionise Nasarawa economy through mining - Gov Sule Mathew Dadiya, Abuja Nasarawa State governor, Engr. Abdullahi Sule has expressed his determination to revolutionise the economy of his state through the mining sector. Nasarawa state is richly endowed with solid mineral deposits. The governor said this on Wednesday when he led a team of technocrats in his cabinet to a courtesy visit on the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Mines and Steel Development, Dr. Abdulkadir Mu’azu on for collaboration. The Governor while unveiling his mission to the ministry, informed the Permanent Secretary and the Directors of the ministry that his administration is regarding the mining sector as first among equals. He said that barely a week he assumed office and from the findings

so far there are a lot of dormant mining licenses issued by the ministry to operators which could be re-issued to Nasarawa State Government for proper utilization if possible. He went further to request for accurate data of informal miners in his state. The governor promised to strengthen the relationship with a view to getting the desired support to transform the economy of the state through minerals mining. He however noted insecurity, lack of comprehensive data of companies operating mining activities in the state, lack of technical know-how of the informal miners as some of the challenges militating against the growth of mining industry in the state. Earlier in his remarks, Dr Mu’azu thanked the governor for considering MMSD as the first ministry to visit after his inauguration. He informed the governor

that his state is one of the most privileged state endowed with over thirty solid mineral resources. According to him, in spite of the numerous mining licenses issued to operators in the state, about 95% of them are unused. Mu’azu decried disruption of mining activities in some communities in the state by indigenes; noting that the disagreement is often as a result of the Land Use Act that gives the state government authority over control of lands, of which the communities usually claim ownership. He urged the governor to use his wealth of knowledge in the oil and mining industries to intervene in addressing this and other challenges that prevent smooth mining activities in the state. The permanent Secretary assured the governor of the necessary support to boost mining activities in the state.

Debt recovery: Shell knows fate June 19 over FG’s $406.7m suit Michael Ajayi A federal high court in Lagos has adjourned until June 19, hearing in a debt recovery suit filed by the federal government against Shell Western Supply and Trading Ltd, over alleged $406.7 million shortfalls in crude oil shipment. The suit numbered FHC/L/ CS/336/16 was filed by Fabian Ajogwu, the counsel to the federal government. It has as defendants, Shell Petroleum Development Company of Nigeria Ltd and Shell Western Supply and Trading Ltd, its subsidiary. The money was said to be for crude oil lifted in 2013 and 2014. The suit is pending before Mojisola Olatoregun, the judge. The case was adjourned until June 19, due to the eid-el-fitr celebrations, while the new date has already been communicated to respective parties. In the suit, the plaintiff is claiming the sum of 406.7 million dollars from the defendants, representing the shortfall of money it paid into the federal government account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). In a supporting the affidavit, the federal government had accused the Anglo-Dutch company of not declaring or under-declaring crude oil shipments during the period. It said that this was following forensic analysis of bills of laden and shipping documents alleging that Shell cheated Nigeria of deserving revenue. According to the affidavit, the consortium of experts tracked the global movements of the country’s hydrocarbons, including crude oil and gas. Plaintiff said that they identified the companies engaged in the practices that led to missing revenues from crude oil and gas export sales to different parts of the world. They also revealed discrepancies in the export records from Nigeria with the import records at the US ports. Plaintiff averred that the undeclared shipments between January 2013 and December 2014 brought the total value of the entire shortfall to 406.75 million dollars. The defendants were alleged to have failed to respond to a federal government letter through its legal representative, seeking clarification as to the discrepancies. The federal government, is, therefore, seeking a court order to compel the two companies to pay 406.7 million dollars, being the total value of the missing revenue and interest payment at 21 per cent per annum. In addition, the government is also asking Shell to pay general exemplary damages in the sum of 406.7 million dollars as well as the cost of the legal action.

Nigeria records $6.5bn total direct remittances in 4 months Motolani Oseni At the end of the first four months in 2019, Nigeria has recorded a total sum of $6.5 billion in total direct remittances, against $2.42 billion reported during the corresponding period in 2018, the latest data from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has revealed. The Apex bank international payment data, however, showed that February of this year has the highest total direct remittances while March has the lowest. The breakdown of the figure indicated that total direct remittance into the country in January was $1.89 billion, but increased to $1.92 billion in February. Before declining to $1.12 billion March and closed at $1.56 billion in April. The Daily Times checks, however, note that

the total direct remittance according to CBN in 2018 settled at $11.23 billion but with the current figure as of April this year, indications are rife that 2019 will record more in total direct remittances. Meanwhile, the central bank had licensed 58 International Money Transfer Operators (IMTO) and monitors legitimate foreign currency, most especially Dollar inflow into the country since February this year. Also, commercial banks and oil companies also remit foreign currency to the CBN. Among operators licensed by CBN were MoneyGram, Nigerian Postal Service (NIPOST), Fluterwave technology Solutions limited, PagaTech Limited, Western Union, Swift Payment and TCF Limited. Others are Small World Financial Services Group, Weblink International limited Cashpot

limited, DT&T Corporation Limited and Corporation limited and Fiem Group LLC, and DBA Ping Express, CP Express limited. The CBN had mandated financial service providers to be duly licensed in order to protect customers and the financial system; that international money transfer operators are required to remit foreign currency to their agent banks in Nigeria for disbursement in Naira to beneficiaries. The CBN said that interested applicants should forward their request for licensing under the CBN 2014 Guidelines on International Money Transfer Services in Nigeria. PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) had estimated that a total of $25.08 billion was remitted by Nigerians in diaspora into the country last year. This represents about 14per cent increase

from 2017 and 83per cent of the federal government’s 2018 budget in value. This is almost $3 billion higher than the World Bank’s previous estimate which, at $22 billion, placed Nigeria with the highest remittance inflow in Africa and fifth-highest globally, behind the likes of India, China, Philippines and Mexico in that order. Majority of the remittance into Nigeria is coming in from the United States, Switzerland, Germany, Russia, China among others. But according to online remittance service, Azimo the region that made the highest remittance to Nigeria in 2017 was Europe with $8.1 billion, higher than other top senders like the United States, other African countries and Arab states. Remittance inflow has been on a steady increase for the last six years except in 2016 when it dropped by approximately seven per cent.

Leadway Assurance, Flour Mills partner to develop crop insurance Micheal Ajayi As part of it plans to develop crop insurance solution in the country, Leadway Assurance Company Limited has gone in partnership with Flour Mills of Nigeria Limited. Speaking on this development, Head, Agric and Micro Insurance who is also the National Coordinator, Leadway Assurance, said bags of fertiliser produced by Flour Mills Nigeria comes with an area yield crops insurance product

He explained that farmers who purchase the brand of fertiliser and register for such will automatically have insurance covers on their crop farms. The scheme has compensation such that if a loss occurs during the planting season, insured farmers will get a replacement fertiliser to assist them to plant during the next planting season. The Assurance Company said the strategy was to distribute crop insurance products to rural farmers through crop input manufacturers, as

this would create an additional incentive for them to sign up for insurance coverage. “This product was deployed on a proof-ofconceptualizing basis during the 2018 wet season farming programme in Kaduna and Kano states with rice, maize, soya beans and sorghum as the pilot crops. “In all, over 1,000 rural farmers signed up for insurance during this pilot programme, with 12 of them receiving replacement fertiliser from Leadway Assurance and Flour Mills of Nigeria as compensation for loss suffered on

their farms,” Fatona said. In it’s bid to further develop this scheme Leadway, said it would take it to other states of the federation during the in-coming 2019 wet season farming with the expectation that over 200,000 farmers would sign up for insurance during the period. The insurance firm reiterated its commitment to increasing the resilience of rural farming households to climate-related and national disasters using innovative and technologydriven insurance solutions.

C & I Leasing reports 7.5% increase in profit to N1.19bn Motolani Oseni

Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Mr. Godwin Emefiele, in handshake with the Vice Chancellor, University of Benin, Prof. Faraday Orumwense, and Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, at the 3rd Eminent Persons’ Lecture Series, held at the University of Benin, Ugbowo, Benin City, Edo State.

Oil prices steady as DPR revokes six oil licences Michael Ajayi Brent crude futures were up 13 cents to $60.76 a barrel on Thursday, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures gained 2 cents to $51.70 a barrel. This is even as Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) has revoked five Oil Mining Licences and one Oil Prospecting Licence belonging to five companies. After falling to near five-month

lows in the previous session, oil futures were largely steady on Thursday, as sentiment remained weak on fresh signs of a stalling global economy and ongoing concerns about growth in supply. However, in a public notice issued on Thursday by DPR, the revocation was based on a presidential directive to “recover legacy debts” owed by the companies operating the licences. The five companies affected are Pan Ocean Oil Corporation (OML

98); Allied Energy Resources Nigeria (OML 120 and 121); Express Petroleum and Gas Company (OML 108); Cavendish Petroleum Nigeria (OML 110) and Summit Oil International (OPL 206) Summit Oil is owned by the family of late Chief M.K.O. Abiola. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Pan Ocean hopes to commence the production of oil and gas from OML-147 at Owa Aladima.

The former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Mr Ibe Kachikwu, had last February announced plans to recover the oil licenses of the companies indebted to it. He expressed worry that some of the companies have failed to make statutory remittances in spite of being in Joint Operatorship with the Federal Government, a development he said was denying it revenue running into billions of dollars.

“8th Lagos Assembly sat 216 times, passed 43 bills into law” It was an emotional session yesterday on the floor of the Lagos State House of Assembly as the 8th session of the Assembly ended with a special parliamentary valedictory session with members recounting their experiences in the last four years. All members who spoke had bitter sweet stories to tell about their participation in the activities of the House commending each other and the leadership of the House for the way it piloted the ship. It was also revealed during the session that the 8th Assembly sat for a total of 216 times in its four years lifespan, passed 43 bills into law and over 200 resolutions, while it recorded death of one lawmaker. One of the lawmakers who defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Victor Akande confessed that it was the leadership of the Speaker, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa that encouraged him to switch

camp to the APC. All the lawmakers who spoke appreciated Hon. Bayo Osinowo who represents Kosofe Constituency 1, but now the senator-elect for Lagos East senatorial district for his fatherly role, advice and stabilisation role in the House throughout his time in the Assembly, with Hon. Lanre Ogunyemi saying there is never a dull moment with him and Hon. Segun Olulade thanking Osinowo for always supporting his aspirations. Olulade who represents Epe 2 in the Assembly thanked the people of his constituency for giving him the opportunity to serve them in the Assembly. “I have been here for eight years, I use to come to the gallery to watch the proceedings in the House in 1999 and I felt that all that they did was to come and sit in the chambers. I contested in 2001 and I was asked to go and sit down. In 2011, I contested and people like Hon. Sikiru Oshinowo supported my aspirations then. “I thank my father, my wife; Engineer Mosunmola Olulade

and my children. I appreciate the leaders of my party in Epe and the GAC members in the constituency. “I appreciate the Speaker and the leadership of the House for giving me the opportunity to serve as the Chairman, House Committee on Health, I appreciate members of the Lagos State House of Assembly Correspondents Association (LAHACA) for supporting me and for making my job easy as the Chairman, House Committee on Information. “I have to learn and I am still learning. As I leave finally from this House, I want to be remembered for the laws, committees and all the assignments that we did together in the last eight years. I thank the Assembly for giving me the platform to show what I am made of. “The Speaker came and did what we never thought he could do. You have given prestige to the speakership of the House and we will like you to speak again,” Olulade who is signing out from the House for said.

APC group in Kogi passes vote of confidence on Oshiomhole Accuses Gov Bello of sponsoring rebellion against party chairman

Some respite may have come the way of embattled National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress (APC), as a political pressure group in within the APC in Kogi State has passed a vote of confidence on his leadership of the party. The group, Kogi Rainbow Democrats, passed the vote of confidence on Oshiomhole to continue as a chieftain of the party despite growing calls for his resignation, while also chiding the Deputy National Chairman (North), Senator Lawal Shuaibu for his recent letter calling for Oshiomhole’s resignation. The group in a communiqué signed by Mallam Yusuf Adamu Dogoyaro also accused the Kogi State government of sponsoring rebellion against Oshiomhole, saying however that they have vowed to resist any effort to do away with the national chairman of the APC. According to the group, “As a noble sociopolitical assembly of Kogi people, we are constrained to postulate in the haze generated by the reckless and anti-party diatribe against Comrade Adams Oshiohmole by the socalled National Vice Chairman of the APC – who is currently on the payroll of the Kogi State

government. “Gov. Yahaya Bello and few anti democrats in the APC at the expense of the suffering, suppressed, depressed, and mesmerized Kogi tax payers; and whose ultimate goal is to distract President Muhammadu Buhari from clinical evaluation of the monumental failure and opprobrium that lies ahead of the APC in Kogi if the governor of Kogi State is returned. “We here and now call for the immediate and unconditional expulsion of the APC national Vice Chairman for his infantile, mischievous and inglorious betrayal of the spirit of his party by fanning the embers of discord and acting in manners to breach public peace in Kogi State. “It is obvious that people like the Kogi governor can never be comfortable with the Oshiomhole led APC due to the abysmal performance of the administration in Kogi State. The hallmark of the Oshiomhole led NWC has been the task on party leaders across board to ensure they deliver dividends of democracy to the people through the provision of basic amenities. “The party under Oshiomhole has equally stressed the need for party members to be discipline,

imbibe internal democracy and rule of law. Unfortunately, the government of Kogi State has failed in all aspects and it is not surprising therefore that they have been involved in this fight to ensure the removal of our dear national chairman, Oshiomhole who does not condone indiscipline and lackadaisical attitude in governance. “Their aim as we have learnt from their clandestine evil meetings, is to coerce the National Working Committee (NWC) of the APC to give Governor Bello undeserved second term. But as a patriotic group of Kogi people, we will reject any attempt to foist Governor Bello on the people of the state for a second term. “We will equally resist any attempt to intimidate the APC National Chairman to resign his position due to the ambition of a few. Kogi people will remain vigilant and faithful to the APC and will continue to raise alarm when necessary against these enemies of the people. “We use this opportunity to pass a vote of implicit Confidence on Comrade Oshiomhole led NWC and urge other wellmeaning APC leaders to continue to support the ongoing reforms in the party,” it stated.

Akpabio

Akwa Ibom group appeals to Buhari not to listen to critics of Akpabio Stories by Patrick Okohue President Muhammadu Buhari has been urged not to consider the image-tarnishing campaign by political opponents against former Senate Minority Leader, Senator Godswill Akpabio in Akwa Ibom State. The group, De-Bongos Media Project, Abuja, made the call through its executive director, Leo Ekpenyong. Ekpenyong said the smear campaign against Akpabio by some people in the state was targeted at destroying the political career of the senator. “I write on behalf of first class communicators from Akwa-Ibom State, who have over the years taken active participation and interest in the state. “As media practitioners of note and distinction, we frown and take exceptions to the myriad of lies and deliberate falsehood disseminated in some sections of the media by some leaders in Akwa-Ibom. “This is deliberate and organised

campaign against distinguished Senator Akpabio, anchored by some disgruntled elements, using faceless groups masquerading as party-faithful to destroy Akpabio,” he said. The director of the group said though Akpabio may not be a saint, he is still very significant in Akwa Ibom politics and is also a leader of great force. The executive director therefore, urged Buhari to “disregard the callous pranks of desperate politicians in the state’’. Ekpenyong said that the group was compelled to set the records straight in the face of slander, and smear campaign that was targeted at only bringing him down. Akpabio who represents the Ikot Ekpene senatorial district in the upper legislative chamber had earlier stated that he has no regrets dumping the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the APC. He made the assertion while fielding questions from newsmen after the burial of his nephew in his hometown, Essien Udim local government area.

Trump: ‘Iran failing as a nation’ after US sanctions

African Union suspends Sudan over military crackdown The African Union (AU) has suspended Sudan’s membership days after the military launched a brutal crackdown on protesters that killed dozens of people. The AU’s Peace and Security Department said in a post on Twitter on Thursday that Sudan’s participation in all AU activities would be suspended with immediate effect - “until the effective establishment of a civilian-led transitional authority,” which it described as the only way to “exit from the current crisis”. The announcement followed an emergency meeting by the AU in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, after the violent dispersal of a protest camp in the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, began on Monday. At least 108 people have been killed and more than 500 wounded, according to the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors (CCSD), while a health ministry official was quoted as saying the death toll stood at 61. Al Jazeera is unable to independently confirm the differing tolls after its journalists were ordered not to report from the country. Sudan’s pro-democracy leaders have vowed to continue their campaign of civil disobedience until the Transitional Military Council (TMC) - which has ruled Sudan since longtime leader Omar al-Bashir was

overthrown in a coup in April - is removed and killers of protesters are brought to justice. The Sudanese Professionals Association on Thursday asked people to block main roads and bridges to “paralyse public life” across the country in retaliation for the military crackdown. In response to the killings, AU Commission Chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat on Monday called for an “immediate and transparent investigation in order to hold all those responsible accountable”. The AU had earlier warned of suspension if Sudan’s military did not hand over power, but extended the deadline on Saturday after the previous one was ignored. The AU has met some criticism over its response to the crisis. Political analyst Joseph Ochieno told Al Jazeera before the suspension announcement that the emergency meeting was “coming rather late”. The CCSD said 40 bodies were pulled from the Nile River on Tuesday and taken to an unknown location by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The TMC has not commented on the allegations. The raid on Monday marked a pivotal moment in the weeks-long struggle between the powerful TMC and opposition groups over

who should lead Sudan’s transition to democracy. General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the head of the TMC, said it was ready to resume negotiations with the opposition coalition. But the opposition rejected the offer, saying the military could not be trusted. Speaking about the TMC’s hard line approach, Ochieno told Al Jazeera it was unclear what the ruling generals were trying to achieve with their violent response. “If it is a way to negotiate … in this day and age, it is rather unusual,” said Ochieno. “If part of their trips to Saudi Arabia and Egypt were to show power and intimidate the opposition, they have actually galvanised the entire of Sudan,” he said. “Some of these guys have extensions to the genocide in Darfur. They thought perhaps the old system of general intimidation and use of excess power and violence to which they subjected the people of Sudan elsewhere - could be attempted in the streets of Khartoum in broad daylight.” The RSF, accused of dispersing the protest camp with gunfire, grew out of the Janjaweed militia that human rights groups accuse of committing war crimes - including killings, rape and torture of civilians - in Sudan’s western region of Darfur after the outbreak of conflict there in 2003. On Thursday, the United Nations pulled all non-critical members of staff from Sudan amid concerns over the violence. The United States has called on Sudan’s military rulers to “desist from violence” and urged talks

with protesters to resume. “The United States condemns the recent attacks on protesters in Sudan,” State Department spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said in a statement on Wednesday. Russia said on Thursday it opposed foreign intervention in Sudan and the authorities in Khartoum must subdue what it described as “extremists”, Russia’s RIA news agency reported. Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Bogdanov was quoted as saying Moscow favoured a national dialogue about a transition period leading to new elections. “Naturally, in order to do that, you need for order to be imposed, and you need to fight against extremists and provocateurs who don’t want the stabilisation of the situation,” RIA quoted Bogdanov as saying. “That’s the situation right now, but we are against any external intervention, the imposition of anything on the Sudanese.” He did not identify which groups he considered to be “extremists” and provocateurs. David Shinn, a former senior US diplomat in Sudan, said the prospect for talks was dim as long as the violence continued. “You cannot have successful negotiations between the protest groups and the military so long as the security forces are killing fellow Sudanese. This has to stop. Until it does, I don’t see any prospect for meaningful negotiations,” he told Al Jazeera. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is expected in Khartoum on Friday to launch mediation efforts.

CONFIRMATION OF NAME

Iran is failing as a nation after Washington imposed powerful sanctions last year, US President Donald Trump said on Thursday, adding that things could change rapidly in talks with the leadership in Tehran. “When I became president, Iran was a true state of terror. They still are and were undisputed champions of terror,” Trump told reporters before holding bilateral talks with French President Emmanuel Macron in Caen, western France. “They are failing as a nation, but I don’t want them to fail as a nation. We can turn that around very quickly but the sanctions have been extraordinary [in] how powerful they have been.” Macron and Trump both stressed they do not want Iran to obtain nuclear weapons. Macron said the sides also want to reduce Iran’s ballistic missile programme, “contain” Tehran’s regional activity in the Middle East and achieve peace in the region. “I think we do share the same objectives on Iran. We had an accord until 2025 and we want to go further and have full certainty in the long run,” Macron said. “To build that we need to start a negotiation. We need to open a new negotiation.” The two leaders tried to sidestep their feud over the 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers which the US exited unilaterally last year, despite efforts in Europe to salvage the agreement. Trump has condemned the deal, signed by his predecessor Barack Obama, as flawed for not being permanent and for not covering Iran’s ballistic missile programme or its role in conflicts around the Middle East. He has called on Iran to come to the negotiating table to reach a new deal.

“I understand they want to talk and that’s fine, we’ll talk,” Trump said of Iran. “One thing they can’t have is nuclear weapons.” Earlier this week, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that Tehran will continue “resisting” US economic and political pressure and not be “deceived” by Trump’s offer of negotiations. “Standing and resisting the enemy’s excessive demands and bullying is the only way to stop him,” he said, without mentioning the United States by name. Tensions between Iran and the US have soared in the past month, as the US sent an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the region over an unexplained “threat” from Iran. The US has also blamed Iran, without providing evidence, for “attacks” that damaged four oil tankers off the coast of the United Arab Emirates last month. Separately on Thursday, a Japanese government spokesperson said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will visit Iran “soon” in an effort to reduce tensions between Washington and Tehran. It will be the first by a Japanese leader to Iran in 41 years, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said. He declined to specify the dates of the trip or other details, but said it would be “soon.” Officials are finalising the details so the visit will be meaningful, Suga said. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas is travelling to Iran next week to discuss the nuclear deal and Tehran’s role in the region, his office announced on Thursday. “We want to preserve this nuclear agreement because we believe it is a good agreement that prevents Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Adebahr said.

German nurse gets life sentence for killing 85 patients A court in Germany has handed life sentence to a nurse, believed to be the most prolific serial killer in the country’s post-war history, for the “unfathomable” crime of murdering 85 patients in his care. Judge Sebastian Buehrmann on Thursday called Niels Hoegel’s killing spree “incomprehensible” and acknowledged the trial left many families with painful unanswered questions. The 42-year-old murdered patients, selected at random, with lethal injections between 2000 and 2005, when another nurse caught him in the act of injecting medication that had not been prescribed into a patient. The 85 victims Hoegel was convicted of murdering ranged in age from 34 to 96. He was acquitted on 15 counts for lack of evidence. Hoegel has already spent a decade in prison following a previous life sentence he received for six other murders. The exhumation and autopsy of more than 130 bodies were necessary to build the case for the prosecution. Police suspect that Hoegel’s final death toll may be more than 200. But the court was unable to say for sure because of gaps in Hoegel’s memory and because many likely victims were cremated before autopsies could be performed. Buehrmann of the regional court in the northern city of Oldenburg said the number of deaths at Hoegel’s hands “surpasses human imagination”. “Your guilt is unfathomable,” he told the defendant. “Sometimes one’s worst nightmares fail to capture the truth.” He expressed regret that the court had not been “fully able to lift the fog” for loved ones about other likely victims. On the final day of hearings on

Wednesday, Hoegel asked his victims’ families for forgiveness for his “horrible acts”. “I would like to sincerely apologise for everything I did to you over the course of years,” he said. Caught in 2005 while injecting an unprescribed medication into a patient in Delmenhorst, Hoegel was sentenced in 2008 to seven years in prison for attempted murder. A second trial followed in 2014-2015 under pressure from alleged victims’ families. He was found guilty of murder and attempted murder of five other victims and given the maximum sentence of life. At the start of the third trial in October, Buehrmann said the court aimed to establish the full scope of the killing that was allowed to go unchecked for years. “It is like a house with dark rooms - we want to bring light into the darkness,” he said. Christian Marbach, whose grandfather was killed by Hoegel and who has served as a victims’ representative, welcomed the “big and clear verdict”. But he noted that many more families hoped they would find closure from the trial with a definitive explanation as to what happened to their loved ones. “It can’t satisfy us entirely. It is what was legally possible,” he said. Marbach said the families would now file suit against the two hospitals where Hoegel killed patients. “We’re finished with the defendant. Now we can bring those people to justice who made his crimes possible,” he said. After admitting on the first day of testimony to killing 100 patients in his care, Hoegel later revised his statement.

Eden Hazard off to La Liga as Real Madrid, Chelsea agree €100 million transfer deal

Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea, and reports in England and Spain claim Hazard is officially a Real Madrid player after striking a deal worth £88 million (€100m) The Belgium international gave a hint of the imminent switch to the Laliga club after he helped Chelsea beat Arsenal in the UEFA Europa final last week in Madrid. “We will decide in a few days and the only target in my mind was to win this final,” he said after his side’s

4-1 victory in Baku. “I have made my decision already and now I’m waiting on both clubs.I think it is a goodbye, but in football you never know.” Chelsea and Real Madrid are now preparing the Hazard contract document. The formal signing and announcement will happen in the coming days. The 28-year-old enjoyed his most prolific spell in England last season. He scored an impressive 21 goals in all competitions, including 16 goals

in the Premier League. When the Hazard deal crosses the line, it’ll be Zinedine Zidane’s second marque signing of the summer following the £52 million capture of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Luka Jovic. Real Madrid remain in the market for new talent following a dismal last season. Manchester United’s Paul Pogba and Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen, among others, have also been strongly linked with a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Onome Ebi joins Common Goal ahead of Women’s World Cup Super Falcons defender Onome Ebi, with over 80 international caps, has become the third Nigerian to join the Common Goal movement. Ebi, 36, currently playing for Chinese Super League club Henan Huishang, has pledged 1% of her football salary to help young people around the world through football charities. She becomes the third Nigerian in Common Goal, after Serie A and Super Eagles defender Willian Troost-Ekong of Udinese, and Brighton defender, Leon Balogun. Last week Common Goal reached 100 players and gender parity for the first time – with exactly 50 male and 50 female players. Ebi, who leads Nigeria into action against hosts France, South Korea and Norway, who the Super Falcons take on in their first group match this Saturday, June 8, is the first African woman taking part in this summer’s World Cup to join the diverse social impact movement. Since launching 20 months ago with a

single player, Juan Mata, Common Goal has so far generated US$1.4 million for football charities empowering youth around the world. There will be a full squad of 23 Common Goal members taking part in the Women’s World Cup, including US stars Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan, and Christine Sinclair, the Canadian legend, who like Ebi is also playing in her fifth World Cup. Ebi said: “I’d like to thank God for letting me have the chance to appear in my 5th Women’s World Cup. It’s never an easy journey. I’ve worked really hard for it and now I am really excited. “I’ve always had a dream of giving back to society because I know what I went through when I was growing up and I know what the young ones are facing at present, especially in my country, Nigeria. I want to help younger ones achieve their goals and I can do this through Common Goal.” Balogun welcomed his fellow Nigerian international to Common Goal: “Welcome

to this wonderful team Onome. Thanks for joining the cause and as they say all great things come in threes – so welcome as the 3rd member of the Nigerian football squad, along with William Ekong and myself, to join this incredible movement. So let’s soar and keep the flag flying high!” This latest first for Common Goal means that seven teams at the Women’s World Cup will have Common Goal players in their squad, with more female players expected to join soon. Juan Mata was quick to welcome Ebi to the Common Goal collective on social media. He added: “I am so impressed and humbled by how many women are stepping forward into leadership positions and taking charge of changing lives through football. Onome is a true leader and a pioneer of the women’s game in Nigeria and beyond. I wish her all the best for her 5th World Cup this summer and hope that she inspires more players, both female and male to find out more about Common Goal.”

William Troost-Ekong, Odion Ighalo finally arrive Super Eagles camp The duo of William TroostEkong and Odion Ighalo arrived the Super Eagles Golden Tulip Hotel camp in Asaba on Thursday afternoon. With their arrival, head coach of the side, Gernot Rohr now has the full compliment of the 25 invited players in camp ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt. Troost-Ekong and Ighalo were expected to take part in the Super Eagles Thursday evening training

session at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba. “Full House. @ighalojude and @WTroostEkong are now in camp. All 25 players called up for #TotalAFCON2019 preparation will be part of training at 4.15pm today at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba. It will be an open session #SoarSuperEagles#,” reads a Tweet on the official Twitter handle of the Super Eagles. The two players are not expected

to play a part in Saturday’s friendly encounter against the Warriors of Zimbabwe due to their late arrival in camp. The Super Eagles camp for Egypt 2019 opened in Asaba last Sunday. Rohr is expected to release his final 23-man list for the tournament after the game against Zimbabwe. The team will leave for Ismaila, Egypt on Sunday for the final lap of their preparation for the tournament.

Rohr rules troost Ekong out of Super Eagles, Zimbabwe friendly Nosa Akenzua, Asaba William Troost Ekong will play no part in Nigeria’s friendly encounter against the Warriors of Zimbabwe at the Stephen Keshi Stadium, Asaba come saturday. Troost Ekong who plays for Italian club Udinese,is among the five players yet to arrive the team camp in Asaba as the other four are Ahmed Musa, Shehu Abdullah,Odion Ighalo and Alex Iwobi. Musa and Abdullah however arrived on Wednesday after they were granted extended break due to the Ramadan fasting and Salla festival.

Iwobi will link up with the team in Ismaila, Egypt following his involvement in the Europa league where he scored Arsenal’s only goal in the 4-1defeat to Chelsea. But Troost Ekong will not make it for the friendly game against Zimbabwe as he expected to arrive soon and he may not be ready for Saturday’s match,Gernot Rohr who spoke to Journalists in Asaba said. The two time African champions opened camping in Asaba,Delta state on Sunday for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations billed to hold in Egypt later this month. Super Eagles are expected to leave for Ismaila Egypt on Sunday for final lap of their preparations as they will wrap up their group encounter against Madagascar,

Amputee federation begins championship to get CANAF team The Nigeria Amputee Football Federation (NAFF) says it will kick start preparations for the 5th Cup of Africa Nations for Amputee Football (CANAF) with the forthcoming 2nd National Amputee Football championship. The President of NAFF, Isah Suilaiman, told newsmen on Thursday in Lagos that the championship would hold in the National Stadium, Lagos from June 16 to June 19. Suilaiman said that the competition would feature teams from five states, while the technical committee would look out for capable footballers that would be in the national team for the continental competition. “The forthcoming national championship is solely aimed at identifying and selecting young, skillful and vibrant amputee footballers for the national team toward the Cup of Nations tournament. “We decided to have a national championship because more players are coming up under their states team, and it is fundamental to give them opportunity to showcase their skills. “Although, we have a national team but its not going to be automatic Jersey qualification, all the footballers must prove their mettle and convince the technical committee before selection,” he said. He added that national camp would follow suit to bring the selected footballers together whereby the technical crew would do the needful to

put the team in good shape. The NAFF president therefore, urged the national team players and aspiring footballers to put up their best, adding that the selection would be purely based on current forms, discipline and competency. “It’s going to be a back-to-back preparation as the national camp will follow because the team spirit must be built in the footballers so that they can have a common goal. “Our mission is to have a team filled with goal driven footballers that will make us proud by lifting the tournament trophy in Angola, and on that note we stand, no compromise,” he added. Newsmen report that Nigeria will feature alongside other African Amputee Football Nations in the 5th edition of CANAF holding in Angola in September. CANAF, organised by Amputee Football Federation for Africa (AFFA), is used to determine the best team on the continent and serves as part of qualifiers for amputee World Cup.

Times Guest Columnst By Azu Ishiekwene

Even though the attention of the world was focused on the role of the media in elections and democracy on the World Press Freedom Day, the shadow of last year’s murderous attacks on free speech still loomed large. Will this be the new normal? In July, The Economist, quoting a report by Freedom House, described 2018 as the year when the muzzling of journalists and independent news media was at its worst point in 13 years. And that was before the Philippines’ reprobate President, Rodrigo Roa Duterte, slammed frivolous and repressive charges of tax fraud and cyber libel on journalist Maria Ressa, an outrage only preceded in scale and ruthlessness by the state-sponsored butchering of Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi inside the Saudi Embassy in Turkey. Somehow, in that grim year, Nigeria also moved up three places on the Freedom House ranking index. In light of what we know about the odyssey of press freedom last year, however, the Editor-In-Chief of Premium Times,DapoOlorunyomi, whose online newspaper is a relentless thorn in government’s side, must be asking himself if much has changed since the 1990s when state-sponsored terror against the press forced him into exile. The military may be gone, replaced by politicians in civilian dress, just as surely as decrees have been replaced by a constitution with elegant provisions for press freedom, but old habits die hard. That’s why the Nigerian military authorities descended on Olorunyomi two years ago. They did not quarrel with the facts reported by Premium Times that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Yusuf Buratai, had bought houses in Dubai beyond his means. Their grudge, a hangover from the military era, was the fact that the newspaper had the temerity to expose the acquisition, without a thought for the potential “national security implications.” In retrospect, it may sound like a laughing matter. But it’s not. In a country where the police still use outdated sedition law against the press; where the state oil corporation insists that it is outside the reach of the Freedom of Information law; and where the army raided a newspaper house last year and trashed its computers, journalism that makes powerful state officials uncomfortable could carry a heavy prize. Yet, this is precisely the type of journalism that Olorunyomi has dedicated over 30 years of his life pursuing: journalism of consequence. An alumnus of the Kwara-based Herald, he later moved to Lagos where he joined African Concord magazine. One of his major cover stories, entitled, “Has Babangida Given Up?”, was a damning story of the military

president in hostage. That story led to the closure of Concord Press by the Babangida regime, after the Editor-In-Chief, BayoOnanuga, refused to apologise to the military authorities in spite of the publisher’s advice. By the time Olorunyomi arrived at The News(after a stint at the African Guardian), with Onanuga, Kunle Ajibade, BabafemiOjudu, Seye Kehinde, and Idowu Obasa, his talent for roaming dangerous territory was advanced and famous. Onanuga told me that Olorunyomi “is a journalist with a huge appetite for risk, wholly invested in pursuing truth and helping younger journalists imbibe the same culture.” He continued: “Often looking like an almajiri,Dapo spent himself broke looking out for others’ professional wellbeing.” That virtue appears to be in short supply. The awareness of consequential journalism whether on elections or immigration, is disappearing; never mind the willingness to pursue it. Across Africa, at least 14 countries will hold major elections this year. A few, including Nigeria, South Africa, Senegal and Guinea Bissau already have. Will these elections be free, fair and credible? Will they reflect the genuine choice of citizens about who they wish to govern them? Will the press provide fair, balanced coverage and inspire enlightened choices? If the media hopes to play any consequential role in these elections, it must first examine itself. It’s a fact that threats to press freedom from state and non-state actors are rising, and therefore, collective global action by citizens, institutions and responsible governments must continue. But if Olorunyomi’s career tells us anything, it is that even though outside threats have become somewhat malignant over the years, they are not new. Journalism must examine itself to play any credible role in elections and to deepen democracy. A few of the deadly worms eating the profession are inside; they must first be purged. There is a proliferation of the multiple-hat journalist: the journalistpolitician; the journalist-entrepreneur; the journalist-consultant; and the journalist-agency. It’s an egregious form of specialisation, which takes care of everything, except what it should really be taking care of: journalism. The consequence is that professional boundaries have become so blurred that they are, in fact, almost nonexistent. If there was a time when facts were sacred and comments free, the transactional genius of many newsrooms have now merged facts, comments and “factcom” into a single commodity, shortchanging press freedom and damaging ethics. Credibility is a casualty most times, but especially so during elections. This is not helped by the shoestring budget

of many newsrooms and proprietorial pressure on editors by media owners who treat their organisations like the media arm of their political party or tribal newsletters. Pandering to big business, to cushion the effect of poor funding, has also weakened the capacity of the media to play an effective role in deepening the democratic process, while fake news, fake websites and marketing remain a clear and present danger. In “Can you trust the media?”, a book that mocks the mainstream media’s claim to the custodianship of public trust, Andrian Monck, said, “I believe that instead of asking whether media can be trusted, we need to teach people to live in a world where trust is something that is withheld. “People need to be skeptical as a matter of course. Then, they won’t be disappointed. Skepticism is the faculty to which they should be appealing, but instead the media is tying itself in knots over credibility and trust.” That’s fine. But we cannot throw up our hands or be rooted in a spot until our feet is overgrown with the weed of self-doubt. A day like this not only serves to remind us of the work that needs to be done, it also points us to icons like Olorunyomi who, in spite of the odds, remains a shining example. We have seen from Premium Times, for example, how it is possible to tackle resource limitation by collaboration. Think of the collabo between the newspaper and the international consortium of journalists that produced the Pulitzer-winning Panama Papers. Can we have more of that? Change may sometimes be slow in coming, like the case of former Communications Minister, Adebayo Shittu, still twisting in the wind by a shameful thread, months after he was exposed for dodging national service and lying about his NYSC certificate. But we have also seen that if journalism persists long enough, it may lead to inevitable tremors – the removal of former Finance Minister, Kemi Adeosun, and presidential pension task force chairman, AbdulrasheedMaina, being two examples. As Dapo Olorunyomi leads Premium Times in the newspaper’s struggle to become a sustainable business model, without which it may become increasingly vulnerable to predatory interests – or predatory poverty – it would also be interesting to see what other media houses may learn from its current funding mix of advertising, crowdfunding, and perhaps monetisation of differentiated content. Press freedom is not given. Nor does it make sense to mark it once every 365 days. It is freedom that is earned daily and every deadline minute, through toil, diligence and refusal to settle for mediocrity in the search for truth. There are examples to inspire us, if we care to look and see. Olorunyomi is one.

CAF president Ahmad questioned by French authorities The president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Ahmad Ahmad was questioned Thursday by French investigators, a source close to the probe told AFP, reportedly concerning a breach of contract with Puma. The source confirmed reports by France Afrique magazine that Ahmad was being questioned by France’s white collar crime investigation body, but did not say what the investigation was about. Jeune Afrique said Ahmad was asked about allegations that CAF unilaterally broke a contract with German sports merchandise giant Puma, before signing a merchandise deal with a French supplier. In a statement, FIFA said that it

had “taken note of the alleged events concerning Mr Ahmad Ahmad, who is being questioned by the French authorities in relation to allegations related to his mandate while President of CAF.” World football’s governing body said it was “unaware of the details surrounding this investigation.” Ahmad is in Paris for the FIFA Congress that was held on Wednesday, in which Gianni Infantino was re-elected for a second term as president after standing unopposed. The event took place two days before France kick off the Women’s World Cup against South Korea at the Parc des Princes on Friday.

Neymar rape accuser gives Brazilian TV interview Najila Trindade has described her interactions with Neymar following the allegations that the Paris SaintGermain forward raped her. Speaking to Brazilian television channel SBT Brasil, Ms. Trindade went into detail regarding her meeting with the Brazil international, explaining that the incident, which was alleged to have taken place on May 15, was “an assault together with rape”. She also claims that Neymar paid for her to fly to the French capital and stay in a local hotel, where she says that her “intention was to have sex” with the former Barcelona star. Ms. Trindade went onto tell the interviewer how she had requested Neymar use a condom, but alleges he refused and became aggressive. “When he left the room, I realised everything that happened to me and how stupid he was, how bad he was, how he raped me and raped me,” she added. A video, reportedly filmed by Ms. Trindade, has also emerged

online, which Ms. Trindade claims to show her arguing with Neymar the day after their original meeting. The video, which was shown by Brazilian channel TV Record, shows two people getting on a bed before the woman slaps the man and says: “I’m going to hit you. You know why. Because you beat me up yesterday.” Sao Paulo police have confirmed to newsmen that there has been a complaint made against the player from a Brazilian woman he met in Paris. The police would not discuss details of the ongoing investigation following the complaint filed by the woman on May 31. Brazilian outlet UOL was the first to report the accusations and claim statements made to authorities are being kept confidential. Neymar denies the allegations, and his camp maintains the 27-year-old’s innocence, stating that he was the target of a blackmail attempt, while the player’s father believes

WhatsApp messages sent to his son’s phone from the woman would be used to help clear his name. Neymar was forced off after just 20 minutes of Brazil’s friendly clash with Qatar on Wednesday, and it has been confirmed that the ruptured ankle ligaments he suffered will rule him out of this summer’s Copa America, which Brazil are hosting. Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro was pictured with Neymar on Instagram following the Selecao’s 2-0 win over Qatar. The president, who wished the forward a speedy recovery, has previously stated that Neymar “is in a difficult moment, but I believe in him.”
