on Monday that the development is aimed at supporting EGPC’s company expansion plan which is part of Egypt’s plan to become a regional hub for exporting oil products to the Middle East region and the rest of Africa.

Denys Denya, Executive Vice President (Finance, Administration and Banking Services), signed the facility agreement on behalf of Afreximbank while Ayman Hegazy, Deputy Chairman of

EGPC, signed for his corporation.

EGPC established MIDOR in 1994 and holds 98 per cent of the shares while the rest of the shares are held by the Suez Canal Bank.

The refinery, located in the Ameryia Specialized Free Zone in Alexandria, is reputed to be the most advanced oil refinery in Egypt. It has 16 production units, with a combined maximum refining capacity of 100,000 barrels per day, and is reported to have refined about 37 million barrels as at the end of

2017.

The refinery is working to expand its production capacity to 160,000 barrels per day by 2020.

Afreximbank’s support to EGPC is part of its effort to promote intra-African trade and industrialisation and export development in Africa.

IntraAfrican trade and industrialisation and export development are among the key pillars of the Afreximbank’s current five-year strategic plan dubbed Impact 2021: Africa Transformed.

We’ll hold Sen Ndume responsible if harm befalls

Ekweremadu – S’East Reps Henry Omunu, Abuja

The South East Caucus in the House of Representatives, on Wednesday, declared that it will hold Senator Ali Ndume and his associates responsible should any harm befall Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu.

The caucus position was contained in a statement made available in Abuja on Monday by its leader and Deputy Minority House Leader, Rep. Chukwuka Onyema.

The Daily Times had reported on Monday that Ndume had faulted the preferential treatment given to Ekweremadu by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) during his invitation, saying that such a treatment was never extended to any senator who honoured the commission’s invitation.

But accusing Senator Ndume of interfering in the statutory job of the EFCC, the caucus said Ndume’s “rascally comments” as reported by a national daily on Monday, had further unmasked the real issues and those behind Ekweremadu’s ordeal.

The caucus said, “We have closely watched events around the National Assembly, especially the ruthless attempts to emasculate the opposition and unseat the Senate leadership by all means possible.

“We have also followed the ongoing investigation by the EFCC of the allegations leveled on the Deputy Senate President,

Senator Ike Ekweremadu.

Despite our doubts, we have maintained our calm, hoping that the law would take its natural cause to vindicate the innocent.

“However, like every responsible and patriotic Nigerian, we have every reason to worry after reading the comments

by Senator Ali Ndume claiming that the EFCC is treating Ekweremadu with kid gloves and, therefore, canvassed for Ekweremadu’s detention and indictment by the agency in spite of the obvious ill-health of Senator Ekweremadu.

“While Ekweremadu needs to be alive to face his investigation, Ndume prefers to push EFCC to compromise the health of Ekweremadu no matter the possible outcome.

“Indeed, reading Senator Ndume’s comments clears every iota of doubt that himself and some other APC senators and cabals are behind the ordeal of the deputy senate president and that this investigation has to do with the remorseless efforts to unseat the Senate leadership.

“It is now easier to link the hostage-taking of Senator Ekweremadu and attempted hostage-taking of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on 24th July, 2014, by agents of the state on a day both were supposed to be presiding over the Senate.

“Meanwhile, we are not restraining the EFCC from heeding Senator Ndume’s hate speech and prompting

to act unprofessionally, detain Ekweremadu or act in ways inimical to his health and wellbeing, but we surely know those to hold responsible should anything happen to Ekweremadu.

The caucus recalled that Senator Ndume was never mistreated when he was charged for allegedly sponsorship of terrorism and links with Boko Haram.

“We vividly recall that on the day Senator Ndume was charged alongside the former Boko Haram spokesperson, Ali Sada Umar Kunduga, he explained to the court that he was suffering from prostate cancer and was granted unfettered access to his doctors and lawyers.

“If such was extended to someone standing trial at the time for after the conclusion of investigation on matters as serious and treasonable as terrorism, we see no reason he should be so pained that the EFCC is professionally respecting the right to health and wellbeing of a fellow senator, who is only undergoing investigation.

“The only explanation is that Ndume and those who wrote the unfolding script are more interested in effecting leadership change in the Senate by hook or crook.

“Let me reiterate, the entire people of the South East shall hold Senator Ndume and his co- travelers responsible if any harm befalls Senator Ekweremadu,” the caucus added.

Saraki bows to pressure, meets NASS principal officers today Idu Jude, Henry Omunu, and Mathew Dadiya, Abuja

Apparently acting in selfpreservation and bowing to pressure from different quarters, the Senate President, Dr Bukola Saraki, has convened an emergency meeting of the leadership of the two chambers of National Assembly.

According to sources close to the Senate President, the meeting, which is expected to have in attendance principal officers of the Senate and the House of Representatives, is scheduled to hold Tuesday (today) in the afternoon.

The source, who confirmed the meeting to The Daily Times, said the meeting would touch on pressing National issues seeking the urgent attention of the National Assembly. It was also confirmed that the officials are expected to meet for one hour at about 12pm.

Meanwhile, owing to the precarious situation facing the next general elections in 2019, the nonapproval of fund for the INEC has also contributed to the summoning of the meeting, as the Senate leadership is scheduled to meet with Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Mahmood Yakubu, shortly after the National Assembly executive meeting.

The source further revealed that issues expected to be discussed include the string of defections in the political space, the rumoured plan to impeach Saraki and the pending 2019 election supplementary budget, among others.

The leadership, our sources said, might consider the possibility of reconvening the National Assembly to discuss urgent and important national issues pending before the lawmakers.

Some APC senators including Ali

Ndume and Ahmed Lawal, have insisted that the long adjournment of the National Assembly by Saraki was not in the best interest of the country.

When contacted, the spokesman to Saraki, Mr Yusuph Olaniyonu, confirmed that his principal is planning a meeting. He , however, declined to gove details.

The Senate and the House of Representatives proceeded on annual recess on July 24 and announced that it would reconvene on September 25.

Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) House of Representatives caucus, on Monday, warned against the planned reconvening of the National Assembly by aggrieved senators allegedly bent on removing Saraki, from office following his defection from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the PDP. House Deputy Minority Leader, Rep. Chukwuka Onyema, in a statement after a meeting of the caucus, said that the procedure for reconvening the National Assembly is unambiguously stated in the rules of both houses which draw their constitutionality from Section 60 of the 1999 Constitution (as amended).

He said that the caucus has unearthed an impending plot by a group of senators aided by security agencies to again invade the Senate chamber with a view to illegally reconvening the Senate plenary.

He said, “Ostensibly, their purpose is to address what they term as urgent national issues.

However, it is clear that their real purpose is an attempt to unlawfully oust the leadership of the Senate and effect a change of the Senate president and the deputy Senate president.

“This trend of events must be strenuously resisted by all true democrats and well-meaning

Nigerians. We have over time witnessed a descent of our country’s once stable democracy slide into an abyss of illiberal dictatorship. A government that has shown disdain for the rule of law and complete disregard for the principles of separation of powers as enshrined in the constitution.

Condemning the planned onslaught on the National Assembly and democracy in general, the PDP House members insisted that when the National Assembly stands adjourned to a fixed date, it may only be reconvened at an earlier or later date when leaders of political parties in the National Assembly make written representation to the presiding officers stating a need to reconvene plenary to attend to matters of urgent national importance.

They added that in such an event, the presiding officers may give notice to members of a date that the National Assembly is to reconvene.

“In the present instance, there has been no such notification to either the Senate president or the speaker of the House of Representatives.

Therefore any attempt to operate outside of the rules is illegal.

“It is symbolic of the hideous excesses of this government’s attempt to wither and destroy the institution of parliament and the bastion of our democracy.

“We urge those who are behind the unholy manoeuvre to desist from these shenanigans and be reminded that we still operate a democracy. It is therefore incumbent on all of us as Nigerians to jealousy guard our hard earned democracy,” the lawmakers said.

In a related development, the Presidency has warned that if the National Assembly fails to reconvene and pass President Muhammadu Buhari’s supplementary budget, the government may shut down in some few months.

Air Peace begins Kaduna service August 13 Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo

Nigeria’s leading carrier, Air Peace has announced plans to commence daily flights from Lagos to Kaduna from August 13 as part of its no-cityleft-behind project.

The airline had earlier announced commencement of its four weekly flights from Lagos, Abuja and Accra to Monrovia with effect from August 6.

A statement issued by the airline’s Corporate Communications Manager, Mr. Chris Iwarah, said the carrier was pleased to connect and unite the South and North of Nigeria by air.

Air Peace, which recently secured the renewal of its International Air Transport Association Operation Safety Audit (IOSA) certificate, said broadening its route network in the North of Nigeria aligned with its determination to democratise flying

experience, give hope to unserved and underserved destinations as well as positively impact the economies of destinations where it operates.

The carrier assured that many more domestic routes, including Makurdi, Warri and Port Harcourt NAF Base, would soon join its network under its no-city-left-behind project. Air Peace also confirmed that it would shortly reopen its Asaba and Sokoto operations.

Air Peace said, “We are delighted to announce that Kaduna will reflect on our route map starting from Monday, August 13, 2018, just exactly a week after commencement of our four weekly flights from Lagos, Abuja and Accra to Monrovia. The launch of our daily flights from Lagos to Kaduna is a pleasing consolidation of our pledge to connect and unite Nigeria by air. We are convinced beyond any shadow of doubt that Nigeria stands to gain socially and economically if the North and South are seamlessly

connected by air.

“Our flights to Kaduna will afford air travellers, especially in the North, an opportunity to experience the excellent services Air Peace has been reputed for since we commenced scheduled operations almost four years ago. The new route will perfectly fit into our strategy to end the travel difficulties of the North of Nigeria with our flights to Abuja, Yola, Kano, Sokoto, Benue, among other cities in the area.

“We are determined to replicate the success of our intervention in the travel difficulties experienced on the Kano and Yola routes, which we inaugurated on February 12 and 15, 2018 respectively, as a way of appreciating the huge support we have continued to enjoy from the North of Nigeria. We solicit the continued support and patronage of the flying public in our determination to deliver the best in air travel in Nigeria and beyond.”

Saraki

Dogara

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on National Assembly (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, gave the warning on Monday after a meeting with the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo, alongside Senate Leader, Senator Ahmed Lawan, at the Presidential Villa Abuja.

The Daily Times recalls that President Buhari had on July 11 sought the approval of N242.45 billion supplementary budget from the National Assembly for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and security agencies to begin preparations for the 2019 general election.

But the lawmakers on Tuesday, July 24, embarked on a two-month annual recess rather than to act on the virement presented by President Buhari.

Speaking to State House correspondents, Senator Enang re-echoed his earlier appeal to the National Assembly to reconvene and pass the supplementary budget to avoid imminent shutdown of government.

Enang said: “Just in line with what the Senate Leader had said, we are still appealing to the National Assembly to reconvene.

You remember that we passed the budget with understanding that the greater amount of it would be gotten by foreign loans.

“Although this was approved that there would be loans, amount to be gotten was not approved.

The Fiscal Responsibility Act requires that the President should specifically state the amount the government want to get from foreign loans and present it before the National Assembly.

“That letter has been presented to the National Assembly and the National Assembly has to pass that amount before the money could be obtained from foreign financing institutions.

“This is what we are asking and if it didn’t happen in the next few months, we may have a complete government shutdown. What we are receiving from the Federation Account Allocation Committee as the Federal Government share, the capital component is not enough to sustain even the 15 or 20 percent of the budget.

“So there may be a complete

government shutdown and I know that Nigerians are not going to like it. That is why we are still appealing.”

He also confirmed that the APC would receive Senate Minority Leader, and former governor of Akwa Ibom State, Senator Godswill Akpabio, into its fold on Wednesday.

“Now the leader of the Senate has said that they are 53, but I want to assure him that the APC have harvested more people from the PDP and other political parties.

“The head of the PDP in the Senate is formally joining the APC family and that will be in a big ceremony on Wednesday the 8th of August in Akwa Ibom State. So, the head of the PDP who holds all the documents of the PDP, His Excellency, Distinguished Senator Godswill Obot Akpabio (CON), is coming over with a great team and other minorities will join the APC family and we are good and strong,” the Presidential aide added.

On his part, Senator Lawan while appealing to his colleagues to reconvene and pass the supplementary budget, said the government would be stalled if they fail to pass the President’s request.

According to him, to do otherwise will lead to sabotage of not only the administration, but will lead to sabotage of democracy itself.

He said: “I have come to visit the acting president, you know this is our administration. I have come to brief him on the situation in the Senate and the discussion also considered the need for national assembly to convene immediately for us to pass the virement on the supplementary budget.

“You know that the budget for 2018 the capital aspect will be largely funded by foreign facilities, loans. Now we need to approve that. We also need to approve other important and essential requests especially that of INEC and other security agencies for our security to be improved.

“It is therefore very essential that we reconvene immediately to look into those issues because our government is almost stalled and I believe that if we are able to pass the supplementary budget and virement request from

CBN establishes ADR platform for Mortgage Banks Appoints CIBN as secretariat

Motolani Oseni, Lagos In a renewed effort to build public confidence as well as engender soundness and stability in the mortgage banking of the Nigerian Banking Industry, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has established Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Platform/ Financial Ombudsman for the mortgage banking sub-sector.

Although, a Sub-committee on Ethics and Professionalism, which is a self-regulatory body is the ADR and was set up by

the apex bank has the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN) as the Secretariat, and will ensure the settlement of disputes between mortgage banks and their customers on one hand and among the mortgage banks on the other.

In a statement by the Registrar/CEO of CIBN, Mr. ‘Seye Awojobi, lauded the establishment of the Subcommittee, describing the development as “a noble initiative.”

Awojobi, who also doubles as the Secretary of the Subcommittee called on mortgage

bank customers and the banks to take opportunity of the platform, which is free, to resolve their disputes with the banks and among themselves respectively.

The membership of the Sub-committee includes representatives of Central Bank of Nigeria, Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, The Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria, Haggai Mortgage Bank Ltd., Abbey Mortgage Bank Plc, Mortgage Bankers Association of Nigeria (MBAN) and Imperial Homes Mortgage Bank Ltd.

He enjoined mortgage banks to set up a Complaints Desk to handle customers’ complaints, as only the cases the banks are not able to resolve would be brought before the Sub-committee for adjudication and settlement.

Also, “the Sub-committee will not handle cases which had already been reported to and handled by the Regulatory Authorities or cases before the Court. Furthermore, it will not entertain cases that are more than six years old in line with Statute of Limitation Act”, the CIBN boss explained.

PDP: We’re not aware of Akpabio’s defection, faults his London trip Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Monday said that it was not aware of Senator Godwin Akpabio’s defection plan to the All Progressives Congress (APC) since the Senate Minority Leader has not officially notified the party of his move.

Consequently, the party stated it may be forced to do the needful by challenging Akpabio’s defection in court.

The National Publicity Secretary of PDP, Kola Ologbondiyan, gave this indication when responding to questions from journalists at a press briefing he addressed at the party’s secretariat, Abuja.

He said the PDP as at the time of the briefing has not been notified either in person or through writing by the former governor of Akwa Ibom State of his decision to leave the party.

When asked what would be the response of the party to the defection slated for Wednesday in Ikot Ekpene, Ologbondiyan said: “When we get notice of his resignation from the party, we will respond accordingly because if I should say anything now, I would be responding to the rumour mill by the APC”.

He also said the party was not aware of Akpabio’s meeting with Buhari in London, claiming that the senator lied to the party that he was traveling to Germany.

Upon further probe if the party will go to court to challenge Akpabio’s move, the PDP spokesman said, “We will do the needful because it is obvious that there is no crack in the PDP”,

questioning what would have been the justification for Akpabio’s defection.

Reacting to the plea by the Special Adviser to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate), Senator Ita Enang, to the National Assembly to reconvene as a matter of urgency to consider President Muhammadu Buhari’s request for virement to finance 2019 general election, he said the presidential aide has derelicted on his duty and has failed to advise the executive accordingly.

He said: “It is unfortunate that people who have experience in legislative practices and procedures, when they get to the executive arm, instead of telling the executives the limit of their powers, they pretend to know it all, and by so doing they mislead the executives.

That is exactly what Enang is doing.

“Section 12 of the Senate Standing Rule puts the power to reconvene the Senate in the hands of the Senate leader who the rule says he ‘may’ do so if convinced”.

“How can they predicate funds meant for election on the proposal for constituencies projects?

How can Buhari presidency seat back and declare that the money meant for 2019 general election would be based on an amendment of appropriation bill that is submitted. Why don’t they bill a supplementary budget? That is why I say that people like Ita Enang who has spent his life in the National Assembly has the responsibility to advise the executives on what to do.

The party accused the presidency of plot to implicate

and blackmail the legislators, asking why President Buhari did not submit a separate supplementary budget request for the election funding rather than predicating money meant for election on constituency projects.

“They are just out to blackmail the NASS by saying they should come back from their recess. The President has gone on 10 days recess can anybody force him back? The NASS has only gone for its annual recess and it is within its right to choose when to come back”, he said.

The party queried the sincerity of President Buhari’s fight against corruption, stressing that the president has deceived Nigerians to secure power on the promise of transparency, accountability and zero tolerance for corruption.

Ologbondiyan said the Buhari Presidency has been diverting public attention from its corruption and primitive stealing by “launching a brutal attack on the opposition, hounding innocent Nigerians for no just cause and seizing the airwaves to brand everybody else as corrupt, while underneath they shamelessly pillage our nation’s resources, stealing money in trillion, under President Buhari’s official cover.

“The PDP challenges President Buhari to explain why his anti-corruption fight has not been extended to investigate the corruption from the leaked memo detailing alleged underhand oil contracts to the tune of N9 trillion ($25billion dollars) at the Nigerian

National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the Ministry of Petroleum Resources, which are under the direct supervision President Buhari as Minister of Petroleum Resources.

Why has investigation into this scam been suppressed?

“The PDP challenges President Buhari to explain to Nigerians whose interest he is protecting by refusing to allow an independent inquest into the alleged corruption in the handling of the N1.4 trillion oil subsidy regime allegedly involving officials at the Presidency, particularly those benefiting from alleged N58 hidden tax per liter which Nigerians have continued to bear since the fuel price increased from PDP subsidized cost of N87 to presumably unsubsidized cost of N145.

“The PDP challenges President Buhari and the APC to explain whose interests they are protecting by suppressing investigation into the alleged use of 18 unregistered companies to lift and divert N1.1 trillion worth of crude oil in 2017. Who are the owners of these companies? Are the companies linked to President Buhari or any of his relatives or even APC leaders?” he said.

The party also asked the Presidency why its enquiries have not been extended to the internationally reported diversion and alleged stealing of N18 billion out of the N48 billion approved by the National Assembly for the rehabilitation of millions of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and rebuilding of six northeast states ravaged by insurgency in the 2017 budget,” the PDP added.

Saraki bows to pressure, summons NASS leadership meeting Continued from page 5

Mr. President, this will enable our administration to provide the various infrastructure that we have planned to provide for Nigerians and also all the other aspects of national development”.

Continuing, he contended: “Because if we cannot provide the essentials for Nigerians, if we cannot provide funds for INEC to plan for the 2019 election, what do we call ourselves?

“Certainly, in the case of INEC for example, INEC could pick some items on the shelves but there are so many important and essential items that INEC will have to place order that could take about two to three months”.

He stressed the need for his colleagues to do the needful and convene the National Assembly immediately in the interest of Nigerians.

The Senate leader further explained that he briefed the acting President on the situation in the Senate as regards the conflicting information coming out from the Senate caucuses.

He also maintained that the APC is still the majority in the Senate with 53 lawmakers, challenging the PDP to come out with their own figures.

He said:”We said we are the majority, the APC caucus, which remains so because we remain 53 senators in the APC caucus and we have given the media the list of everyone.

“I read it about a week ago, every senator’s name was there and his state or her state and the PDP caucus will tell you they are in the majority. I will take this opportunity for the third time to challenge the PDP caucus to publish the names of the PDP caucus members.

“They have never done that, they will only tell you that they are 55, they are 60, they are 65. Publish the names let Nigerians see where their senators are.

We have done our own and it is also important that whatever crisis we have in the Senate and indeed in the National Assembly that Nigerians don’t suffer.

“We as politicians can do anything, it is a parliamentary practice. In fact, in Parliament, worse things could happen but Parliaments that are responsible and responsive will always take into account the national interest, work assiduously to ensure that the country does not suffer.

“Here in our case, we have our budget suffering, we

are not able to implement anything today because we are not able as a legislature, the National Assembly, to pass the request of Mr. President. So I believe that we should be on the same page with Nigerians, we are not aliens, we are representing Nigerians”.

He, however, added that what Nigerians want today is for this administration to provide those essentials that it has promised and it has started providing, saying the government should plan properly for free, fair and transparent elections in 2019.

Furthermore, Lawan noted: “If we don’t reconvene and pass the request, what that means is that we have turned against this country, we are stalling the administration and invariably, fighting the people because the people want us to do those things that will make them happy.

“So I believe that my colleagues are listening and we should be able to reconvene in the next few days for us to pass the budget request of Mr. President as quickly as possible.

He also denied allegations that some members of the APC in the Senate tried to force themselves into the Senate chambers to impeach the Senate president.

He said, “Did you use the word that some senators attempted to break into the Senate Chamber? I am hearing it for the first time, there is a process going into that chamber, I didn’t hear it before that some senators attempted to break into that chamber.

“Possibly, you must have the names of senators but I want to tell you that we are law abiding and that we will do everything possible in the national interest but we will try to keep within our processes and our procedures”.

When asked what the APC senators would do if the presiding officers do not reconvene the Senate, he said: “The presiding officers are people like you and I. They are Nigerians, they listen or they should listen. So I don’t even contemplate that the presiding officers will say they will not reconvene the chambers of the National Assembly based on the fundamental and primary request of Mr. President of passing the budget. ”So I believe that the presiding officers should do the needful to reconvene the two chambers of the National Assembly to give us the opportunity to pass the supplementary budget and virement request of Mr. President as quickly as possible,” he added.

sale-out, no going back Lagos CJ probes bribery allegation against Magistrate IPOB, on Biafra - Zionists Peter Fowoyo

A septuagenarian, Chief Salami Ayodeji Agbaje, has accused the Magistrate presiding over Court 3 of Tinubu Chief Magistrates Court sitting in Lagos, alongside its registrar, over allegation of abuse of judicial power(s) and what he termed unjustifiable three months refusal to give effect to the advice issued by the Lagos State Directorate of Public Prosecutions, DPP, involving him and the state’s Commissioner of Police, COP. Chief Agbaje in a petition dated June 4, 2018, through his lawyer (name witheld) and addressed to the Chairman of the Lagos State Judicial Service Commission, LSJSC, stated that, “We are solicitors to Chief Salami Ayodeji Agbaje, the defendant in Charge No. CR.NO/150/2012.

“Our client was arraigned before the Tinubu Chief Magistrate Court 3 in 2012 on an 8 count charge of essentially assault and forgery.

“A similar charge had earlier been struckout against our client in Ogun State and this was what led to the complainants in this charge to write another petition to the Zone 2 Zonal Command, The Nigeria Police Force, Onikan, which subsequently arraigned our client before Court 3 of the Tinubu Chief Magistrates Court.

“In 2017, the office of the Attorney General of Lagos State took over the case pursuant to a petition from the defendant dated 7th July, 2017 and issued an advice from the office of the Directorate of Public Prosecutions dated 21st February, 2018 with reference number LJP/ MISC/2018/50/8.

“The DPP’s advice was to the effect that courts in Lagos State lacked the jurisdiction to

hear the charge of Chief Salami Agbaje, as the alleged offences occurred in Ogun State.

“Chief Salami Agbaje had indeed been absent from court on a number of occassions, having suffered a stroke.

“In fact, Chief Salami Ayodeji Agbaje suffered a stroke in the afternoon of his last attendance in court and was thereafter admitted to a hospital for treatment in August 2017.

“He was initially hospitalized and was later made an outpatient.”

In the medical report signed by one Dr. Aribiyo K.A. of Citadel Hospital, addressed to The Registrar, Magistrate Court 3, Tinubu, Lagos, and dated February 15, 2018, it was stated that Chief Agbaje was presented to the hospital since August 23, 2017 on account of Ischemic Stroke and Diabetes.

According to the report captioned, ‘Re Salami Ayodeji Agbaje, Male 66/years’, “He was admitted and we are treating him.

“He will be discharged home on oral medications and still placed on follow-up appointment on the 14th day of March, 2018.

“He will be coming from home to complete his treatment. He has requested we do a letter of his medical treatment. Please kindly accord him the necessary assistant for further enquiries.”

Part of the DPP advice dated February 21, 2018 and signed by an Assistant Director, F.O Ligali from the Ministry of Justice, reads: “After a careful consideration of the facts available in the duplicate case file, this office is of the view that the Lagos State Ministry of Justice and indeed Lagos Court do not have the jurisdiction to entertain this matter because the Res is located in Ogun State and the alleged

threat to life also took place at Gideon Village, Ibafon, Ogun State. In view of this, we are of the opinion that the casefile be sent to Ogun State Ministry of Justice for necessary action.

Your duplicate casefile is hereby returned accordingly.”

In a similar manner, Chief Agbaje, again accused the Registrar of Court 3, Mrs. Kafayat Lawal Onipede of extorting a total sum to the tune of N195,000.00 from him and his relatives under the guise of influencing the Magistrate to get him released on bail.

Thi latest accusation is contained in a petition addressed to the Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Opeyemi Oke, and dated July 10, 2018.

The petition captioned, ‘Petition Against Extortion By Mrs Kafayat Lawal Onipede (Registrar Court 3, Tinubu Chief Magistrates Court) From Chief Salami Agbaje (70 years)’ and of which was copied the Executive Secretary, Lagos State Judicial Service Commission, and signed by his lawyer reads: “We are solicitors to Chief Salami Ayodeji Agbaje (herein referred to as our client) and we have his instruction to write you.

“Our client was the defendant in charge No. CR. NO/150/2012. i.e C.O.P VS SALAMI AYODEJI AGBAJE. “Our client has reliably informed us of the extortion of the sum of N195,000.00 from him and his relatives by Mrs. Kafayat Lawal Onipede (registrar court 3, Tinubu Chief Magistrate Court).

“Our client has further reliably informed us that his ordeal started on the 28th day of May 2018 when the presiding Magistrate of Court 3, Tinubu Magistrate Court, illegally and wrongfully remanded him in prison custody.

Moses Oyediran, Enugu The Biafra Zionists Federation (BZF), has described the on-going peace meeting between the Ohanaeze Ndigbo and the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, as “a sabotage of no consequence”.

Self-acclaimed leader of the groupo, Barr. Benjamin Onwuka spoke to journalists in Enugu, where he accused the IPOB of taking a bribe in order to back out from its demand for Biafra.

He, however, said the Zionists would never compromise the Biafra struggle, calling on the people to come out en-masse and watch him relaunch the defunct republic on August 22.

It could be recalled that the IPOB and the Ohanaeze held a meeting over the weekend, where the former gave conditions for it to soft-pedal on the agitation for Biafra.

But Onwuka fired shots at the pro-Biafra group, saying “If that is the tune that they have come up with, it is betrayal of the highest order.

More than 5 million people perished between 1967 and 1970 and someone will suddenly come up and say let us abandon Biafra. Why did they take up the fight in the first place?

“As far as the Zionists are concerned, there will be no compromise on Biafra. It has been established, we are not fighting for a new country, we are fighting for the restoration of the Republic of Biafra. The ordinary man in the street, go and ask him about Biafra.

“IPOB can go ahead with Ohanaeze and seek restructuring but that is their own cup of tea. We insist on Biafra. As far as I am concerned, it is non-negotiable.”

On the August 22 declaration, Onwuka said that was the only way to end killings being perpetrated by suspected Fulani herdsmen and unjust persecution of politicians from the Southern and the Middle-Belt region.

“They have imposed religious war on our people through Buhari’s government; so we are calling on our people to come out for the liberation struggle. There will be no intimidation, no harassment because of the backing of the US and Israel.

“When Jonathan was President, Buhari vowed that they will make Nigeria ungovernable; they did so through the Boko Haram, which has caused so much harm on mainly Christians, as if that was not enough, they have now come up with the conquest by the herdsmen; the herdsmen have been going around all over Biafraland massacring people and nobody has been able to challenge them.

The illegality of impeachment and defection

Femi Falana

The crisis of misgovernance in the country has been accentuated by the official impunity of members of the ruling class. Hence, the executive is justifying disobedience of court orders, while legislators regularly suspend their colleagues and carry out the impeachment of governors outside the ambit of the Constitution. Even though it has been decided by the Court of Appeal that a legislative house lacks the power to suspend a legislator, both chambers of the National Assembly and state legislative houses have continued to suspend members who disagree with their colleagues. And contrary to several decisions wherein the Supreme Court has meticulously outlined the procedure for impeaching governors by not less than two-thirds majority of the members, eight out of 30 members of the Benue State House of Assembly are said to have concluded plans to impeach Governor Samuel Ortom.

Instead of calling the members of the All Progressives Congress involved in the charade, President Buhari has washed off his hands like Pontius Pilate.

Since the recent defection of a number of legislators from the the ruling party has generated some controversy, it is pertinent to examine relevant provisions of the Constitution and decided judicial authorities on the matter.

Impunity of Legislators By virtue of sections 39 and 40 of the Constitution, which guarantee the fundamental rights of expression, conscience and opinions, as well as freedom of association, every citizens is entitled to to hold political opinions and belong to political associations and change such opinions and association at any time. But such freedom is circumscribed in the case of elected legislators.

Although cross carpeting by legislators was common in the First Republic, it has been prohibited by the 1999 Constitution. Thus, in Abegunde v Ondo State House of Assembly (2014)

LPELR 23683 the appellant, a member of the House of Representatives had decamped from the Labour Party to Action Congress of Nigeria. In justifying his defection, the appellant claimed that the Labour Party in Ondo State was factionalised.

Since the division of the Labour Party was limited to Ondo State, the Supreme Court held that it did not affect the party at the national level to justify the defection. It was therefore decided that the appellant had lost his seat in the House of Representatives. Relying on the case of Atiku Abubakar v Attorney General of the Federation (2007) 4 SC (part ii) 62, the Supreme Court held that it is only a division, factionalisation or fragmentation, which can make it impossible or impracticable for a party to function, that can justify the defection of a legislator from one party to another.

Otherwise the defector automatically loses his seat.

From the clear and unambiguous pronouncements of the apex court, a division in a political party envisaged by the Constitution cannot be a figment of the imagination of prospective defectors. The division must make it practically impossible for the party to function. In the instant case, the APC was not split to the extent that two parallel congresses were held leading to the emergence of two parallel sets of officers at the national, state and ward levels. A recent example of the factionalisation or division of a political party was recently witnessed when the PDP broke into two factions led by former governors Sheriff and Makarfi, until the faction led by the latter was recognised by the Supreme Court. No doubt, the members of the Reformed-APC were dissatisfied with the running of the affairs of the APC but they did not hold any parallel convention which would have produced elected officials of the aggrieved members. To that extent the defection of of the R-APC legislators

from the APC to the PDP and ADC can be impugned under section 68 (1) (g) of the Constitution.

However, since the APC had allowed legislators to decamp from the PDP to join its fold in the recent past, the ruling party lacks the moral and political right to condemn the defection of the R-APC legislators. But the crass opportunism of the APC cannot legitimise the prostitution of the political system.

Having decamped from the APC, which sponsored their elections, the R-APC defectors ought to resign from the legislative houses and seek a fresh mandate from the electorate. In order to curb the dangerous trend, some aggrieved members of the constituencies of the defectors ought to contest the legal validity of the refusal to resign from the affected legislative houses.

Legal Validity of Defection By Governors However, the Constitution is silent on defection by the president and state governors from the political parties which sponsored their elections.

Hence, in Atiku Abubakar v Attorney General of the Federation (2007) 4 SC (Pt II) 62, the Supreme Court held that the defection of the appellant from PDP to the former Action Congress of Nigeria was not illegal and unconstitutional. On the basis of that judicial authority, the decision of governors to dump the political parties that sponsored their elections was not challenged. I have therefore canvassed the argument that the defection of Governors Tambuwal, Ortom and Ahmed of Sokoto, Benue and Kwara States respectively from the APC to the PDP cannot be said to be illegal or unconstitutional.

It would be recalled that five governors had decamped from PDP to APC in 2014. While relying on the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Atiku Abubakar v AttorneyGeneral of the Federation (supra), I expressed the view then that the

defection of the governors could not be successfully challenged by the PDP. In the same vein, I have opined that the defection or return of APC governors to the PDP cannot be questioned by the APC. Since my view was limited to decamping governors in 2014, it is the height of intellectual dishonesty on the part of Dr. Doyin Okupe to accuse me of inconsistency. Whatever the agents of mischief may want to believe, I have been as constant as the northern star as far as the interpretation of the Constitution is concerned.

A Senate President Can Only Be Removed By A Two-thirds Majority of Senators The planned removal of the Senate president, Dr. Bukola Saraki by the APC should be stopped as it cannot stand. The attention of APC legislators ought to be drawn to section 52 of the Constitution which provides that the president and deputy Senate president can only be removed by the resolution supported by the votes of not less two thirds majority of the entirety of the members of the Senate. Since the APC legislators cannot muster the required two thirds majority of the votes of the entire members, the plan to impeach Senator Saraki should be dropped forthwith.

Again, the scenario playing out in the Senate is without precedent in our political history. When the accord of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN) and Nigeria Peoples Party (NPP) collapsed in the Second Republic, the speaker of the House of Representatives, Honourable Ume Ezeoke of the NPP, a minority party in the House was not forced to resign. The election of Honourable Aminu Tambuwal as speaker was made possible by the alliance of PDP and ACN legislators. And when he decamped from the PDP to APC, Honourable Tambuwal was not asked to step down from the office of the speaker. Therefore, the APC is estopped from demanding the resignation of Dr. Saraki as Senate president.

APC, defecting senators and challenge of history (I)

Yusuph Olaniyonu

Perhaps, the biggest issue the All Progressives Congress (APC) has to deal with is what is now known in the media as ‘the Gale of Defections’ in which some members of the national and states’ House of Assembly governors, local government chairmen, councilors, an ambassador, the national spokesman and local party chieftains abandoned ship and headed to the main opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

The APC leaders seem unprepared for the development, even though it had been inevitable since the party formed government in 2015 at the federal level and in 24 states. The APC that had done so well as an opposition party when it was formed in 2014 has appeared so incompetent in handling the fortune of electoral victory and the resultant power.

Its leaders have behaved like the ancient general who got used to crushing external wars that he returned home to provoke internal battle within his own army. Such generals always end up on the wrong side of history as their commanders end up bringing down the entire army.

Those who left APC have complained of lack of justice, equity, internal democracy, inclusion as well as the rise of a cabal within the government which has seized control of the administration and ensures it cares no hoot about whether it delivers on the pre-election promise of economic recovery, fighting corruption and eliminating insecurity.

However, what has surprised me is the manner in which the APC leaders have been responding to the point raised by the defectors, particularly the ones in the Senate, which included the Senate

President, Dr Abubakar Bukola Saraki.

Instead of reassessing its performance in the areas mentioned by the defecting senators, the party simply revved up its propaganda machinery and started feeding the public with lies. In the process, they demonstrated their lack of respect for the provisions of the constitution and extant laws of the federation, universally acknowledged parliamentary conventions and ethos, as well as our country’s political history.

Let me summarize the reactions of the APC leaders as it can be deduced from the statements credited to Messrs Adams Oshiomhole, Lai Mohammed, Abu Ibrahim, Abdullahi Adamu, Ali Ndume and some other less known individuals on the party’s propaganda team. One, the defection is illegal. Two, the defection is unprecedented. Three, there is needed to forcefully reconvene both chambers of National Assembly because there are urgent issues to be deliberated upon.

Four, when they force the parliamentary reconvening, their loyal senators will either force Saraki to resign or remove him by whatever means. Five, Saraki and the other defectors have no electoral value. Six, blame Saraki as the singular factor responsible for why the Buhari government has failed to perform.

APC leaders since the time they were in the opposition believe they are adept at propaganda and that they can always weave some narratives to explain any situation the party finds itself. Their fabrications were a major element in the defeat of President Goodluck Jonathan.

In fact, they are already spewing forth claims that the first 16 years of the present

democracy had been a waste and that their last three years have been devoted to correcting the ills. I guess this is a debate the country will have to deal with later on as we inch towards 2019.

Let us return to the six claims of the APC as enumerated above.

Is the defection of the aggrieved senators and others illegal? Definitely not. Section 68 (1) (g) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which stipulates the grounds on which a legislator will vacate his seat gives a proviso which covers the present ‘gale of defections’. It states that the defecting legislators shall not lose his seat if “his membership of the latter political party is not as a result of a division in the political party of which he was previously a member or a merger of two or more political parties or faction by one of which he was previously sponsored.”

If the APC so badly mismanaged its conventions and congresses as well as the general party administration up to the point that the r-APC emerged, formed a factional executive and even went to court to challenge the authenticity of the Oshiomhole group, then whose fault is it?

The APC on its own created the condition contained in the constitutional proviso in Section 68 (1) (g). If the APC wants an interpretation of the word “division” as stated in the constitution, as democrats, its leaders know where to head: the court.

In fact, it is the PDP which has legal grounds to challenge the defection of a few of its members like senators Fatimah Raji Rasaki, Sunny Ogbuji and Hope Uzodinma who just recently changed camp from a united and peaceful PDP to the APC. And this fact must have been

the reason that these senators fraternise with APC but refused to formalise their defection in the senate chambers. The new APC senators may also be waiting to stage a return to the PDP if at the conclusion of the party primaries they do not get what they want.

The APC have been claiming to be in the majority and that it is unprecedented for the party that has a majority to lose out in providing leadership. These claims raise a lot of questions. As at today, there are verifiable claims that the APC has lost its majority to PDP or that both parties are at par. I believe there may be need for a headcount on the two sides of the Senate chambers when they properly reconvene on September 25.

More importantly, if for the sake of extending the argument we assume without conceding that the APC has a slim majority in the Senate, does that automatically translate to the change of the two presiding officers in the chambers?

Going by the provision of the constitution, history and parliamentary convention in a presidential system of government, the answer is no.

Section 50 (1) (a) of the constitution clearly states that “There shall be – a President and a Deputy President of the Senate who shall be elected by members of that House from among themselves.”

This means that every senators, no matter their party affiliation is qualified to be Senate President, provided the senator can get the majority of the votes. In fact, in the present senate, the only senator who is a member of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Victor Umeh, is qualified to be elected Senate President.

Editorial Commentary Patients’ Bill of Rights and Nigerian healthcare reform

Times Guest Columnist Jumia Ahmadu The new Patient Bill of Right signed into law by the Vice President of Nigeria, Professor Yemi Osinbanjo last week demonstrates in clear terms the present Administration’s resolve to reform the nation’s healthcare system for the good of all. It also demonstrates the progress being made in making qualitative healthcare service available to all Nigerians irrespective of their class or political leanings.

The bill initiated by the Nigerian Consumer Protection Council, covers the consumers or citizens relationship with insurers, health plans and everyone else in the healthcare systems.

It contains basically health insurance reforms which it tries here to cover holistically for the common good of health consumers.

This is in fulfilment of one of the campaign promises of the President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration. The goal of the Patient Bill of Rights is to put Nigerians consumers back in charge of their health coverage and care.

It contains and come with certain obligations to take an active role in making the systems work smoothly.

The Patient Bill of Rights was enacted and developed with the expectation that hospitals and health institutions would support these rights in the interest of delivering effective service to patients without any man-made hindrances.

The Nigerian hospitals or Medical Associations are encouraged alongside other institutions to translate or simplify the Patient Bill of Right to meet the needs of their specific patient populations and to make patient rights and responsibility understanding to patients and their families.

The bill also stipulates that a patient rights can be exercised on his or her behalf by a designated surrogate or proxy decision maker if the patient lacks decision making capacity or is legally incompetent or is a minor.

This articulated Bill include the following; (A). The patient has the right to considerate and respectful care. This is and has always been the missing link in our healthcare administration (B). The patient has the right and is encouraged to obtain from a physicians and other direct care givers relevant, current and understandable information about his or her diagnosis, treatment and progress and prognosis.

(C). The patient has the right and except in emergencies when the patient lacks the ability to make decisions and the need for the treatment is urgent, the patient is requested and is entitled to a chance to discuss and request information related to specific procedures or treatments available. The risks involved, the possible length of treatment and recovery, and the medically reasonable alternatives to existing treatment along with their accompanying risks and benefits.

(D). The patient has the right to know the identity of physicians, nurses and other health practitioners involved in his or her treatment and rehabilitation as the case may be.

(E). The patient also need to know the immediate and long term financial significance of treatment choices in so far as they arise.

(F). The patient has the right to make

decisions about the plan of care before and during treatment or plan of cure if it is permitted by law and hospital policy and be adequately informed of the medical consequences of such actions among other rights stipulated in the bill.

The present Administration by this bill enacted and signed into law revolutionize one of the important sectors that touch the lives of Nigerians directly; the health sectors particularly the accident victims who before now have to wait for police report before been attended to by healthcare practitioners.

Also with the introduction of this historic bill, patients must be treated first before payment has to be made when the need arise, unlike in the past when patients are mandated to make deposits before they are attended to in our hospitals.

Prior to signing of this bill into law, we can all attest to the fact that the Nigerian patients’ rights were denied without punitive measures being applied, but by this singular gestures of government giving to Nigerians, one of their basic rights through legislations, our health sector shall never be the same again. Invariably also, the complaint made every day against the dehumanizing attitudes of our healthcare practitioners can now be redressed through the Nigerian judicial systems that is constitutionally empowered to apply appropriate sanctions against erring medical practitioners.

The collaborative nature of healthcare requires that patients and their families and surrogates participate in their care. The effectiveness of care and patient satisfactions with the course of treatment comes through shared responsibilities and the successes depends in parts on the patient fulfilling certain responsibilities (A). Patients are responsible for providing information about past illnesses, hospitalizations, medications and other health related matters.

(B). Patients must take responsibility for requesting additional information’s or clarifications about health status or treatment when they do not fully understand the current instructions.

(C). The health institutions have a copy of their written advance directive if they have one. This is a basic responsibility of patients.

(D). The patient must report any anticipated problems in following anticipated treatments. this will make the practitioners job easy.

Finally, patients should be aware that the hospital has to be reasonably efficient and equitable in providing care to other patients and the community. The hospitals rules and regulations are designed to help the hospital meet this obligation.

As a government responsible to the yearning of its people for development in the health sector, the Buhari administration has played its part in legislating this Patients’ Bill of Rights for its people.

The citizens are hereby called upon to reciprocate this gesture by abiding by the tenets of this bill for the common good. Everywhere in the world, institutions and its customers have shared responsibilities and Nigeria is not an exception.

Our POSITION

Dynamic leadership and 2019 polls

N

igerians recently witnessed a new dawn when the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with 38 others in a political alliance under the aegis of Coalition of Unity Political Parties (CUPP).

The MoU also resolved to begin work on a blueprint manifesto. It also resolved to field a joint presidential candidate and pick common candidates for governorship, National Assembly, state assemblies and even the Federal Capital Territory. The MOU also stated that the coalition was determined to “promote core values for the restructuring of the country, sharing of political offices among persons and groups across the six geo-political zones while promising to install a unity government with a joint manifesto that will usher in a structured economic and fiscal federalism.”

As the nation throttles towards another general elections, the frantic moves by groups to get registered as political parties by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the effort by a coalition of 39 political parties to ratify unity candidates for the 2019 polls should not take anyone by surprise.

The pertinent question in this regard is - What is the aim of this amalgamation? What is so different between the content of this MoU and the manifestos of the major political parties? While Nigeria needs a credible opposition, this new coalition might perhaps have emerged without substantial principles. And it may not in any way be different, in emptiness of promise, from the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC. With barely a few weeks to the August deadline for fresh registration of political parties, 136 applications are being processed by INEC. Should all the applications scale through, Nigeria would, in addition to the existing 68, have about 204 political parties slated for general elections in 2019. What kind of thinking conceives such proliferation of parties? Are Nigerians so ideologically diverse that they must have such number of political parties?

This development is a far cry from the relatively principled politics of the First and Second Republics.

In those days, political parties were markedly differentiated by their ideologies and programmes and how they wished to implement them. A semblance of this experience was observed in the parties of 1979.

The unmistakable nationalism of the National Party of Nigeria (NPN), the consistent welfarism of the United Party of Nigeria (UPN), the Talakawa ideology of the Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), among others were clearly recognised based on ideologies and programmes.

Even though citizens have the right to freedom of association, and on the basis of such association may aspire to enjoy the good life through legitimate means, this number of political parties calls for concern.

Whereas the Electoral Act states that any association of persons can register as a political party, if it meets the criteria, Nigerians should worry about the sincerity of purpose of such political parties.

With N60million dangling as an annual support funding by INEC, it is very unlikely that majority of the political associations applying for party registration are altruistic. They must be doing it for the subvention that comes with it. Which is why we have consistently opposed the idea of government registering political parties and funding them.

Besides the moral issue of the party itself, there are logistical problems associated with many political parties. Early in the year, when INEC had registered only 68 parties, the chief technical adviser to the INEC chairman, Prof. Bolade Eyinla, at a forum, had decried

the increasing number of political parties. One of the arguments he gave for his misgivings was that too many political parties could cause logistical problems, including the production of ballot papers. Just as he remarked, one of the challenges posed by fielding many political parties for elections is the management of party agents. If there are 100 political parties and they all have candidates for a slated position, it means there have to be 100 agents for that election in a polling unit.

Related to this is the fact that 100 political parties must appear on the ballot paper. Should a party be omitted on the ballot paper, that election exercise is cancelled.

Nigerians, however, do not want to see any opposition that will short-change its people with empty promises and needless sloganeering. Nigerians need credible political parties, driven by a concise, allinclusive ideology; parties with realistic programmes that can solve the people’s problems. Nigeria should have viable parties, not just special purpose vehicles for grabbing power and looting the commonwealth.

Without such political parties, the beauty of multi-party democracy is blighted and the future of the country is at risk.

Gaining control of political power is an exercise that demands the utmost deployment of peoples’ sincere intentions, inner convictions, demonstrable capacity and measurable potential for success. The philosophical depth and profound desire to seek the common good and sagaciously attend to differences within a civil society is what makes groups aspire to seek power.

We are of the opinion that there must be deliberate efforts to ensure the emergence of credible and dynamic leaders. There is the need to change the narrative from the present leadership, which has failed the country woefully. The citizens should own the process of recruiting the leaders with vision and capacity to deliver.

UK based woman allegedly attempts to assassinate 60-years-old sister Joy Anyim, Lagos Men of the Lagos State Police Command have foiled an assassination attempt on the life of 6o- year- old Gladys Osaigbovo-Omon who had refused her daughter from involving in prostitution in the United Kingdom.

It was gathered that the assassination attempt was plotted by the younger sister of the victim, Augusta Osaigbovo a human trafficking specialist in the United Kingdom.

Augusta had contracted her cousin Osaro Okonobom and friend Lucky Oboh to go murder her sister for the sum of N4.5 million.

Both had developed bad blood for each other when Augusta had allegedly taken the daughter of Gladys, one Mercy Omon to the United Kingdom with a view to enrol her in her prostitution ring.

Mercy who had refused to engage in the act reported her aunt to the United Kingdom Police. Augusta was arrested and jailed for eight years.

Speaking during a press briefing at the Lagos State Police

Command Headquarters in Ikeja, CP Imohimi Edgal said upon the completion of her jail term, Augusta had contacted the suspects to eliminate her sister who is based in Benin, Edo State.

Explaining how the whole situation played out, Edgal said, the suspects were arrested by men of the Igando Police Station.

He said, “When Augusta Osaigbovo finished her jail term, she complained to her sister Gladys, that her daughter, Mercy, whom she brought from the village to help, has ruined her. Feeling that her sister was supporting her daughter she decided to procure assassins to eliminate her in revenge.

“When the DPO, Igando, CSP Taiwo Kasumu, got a whiff of the plans to kill Gladys, he planted two agents provocateurs namely, Igbinedion Ogbevon ‘m’ and Success Ehiosun ‘m’ to play along with the hired assassins.

“The gang assembled and were paid the sum of N500,000

by Augusta Osaigbovo as mobilization for the job. The names of the assassins “Together they went to BeninCity in Edo State and identified their target, Gladys Osaigbovo, after which they returned to

Lagos and requested Augusta to give them the balance of four million Naira (N4,000,000). It was at this stage that they were rounded up.”

Narrating her own side of the story, Gladys said it was her good deeds that vindicated her, knowing she has nothing against her sister.

She said the attempt was made twice on her life on the 15th and 17th July, 2018, when the men had come to her shop pretending to have come to patronise her.

“Augusta is my sister and she actually helped my daughter to travel to United Kingdom. She had even requested i send her about S3,000 she claimed she wanted to use in processing my daughter’s week permit papers before things went sour between her and my daughter.

“I am too grateful to the police for the arrest. This can only be God at work.

The suspects both confessed to the crime saying it was their first time.

Edgal who had further ordered the team handling the matter to use the Interpol to ensure that Augusta is arrested had also said the suspects will be charged to court soonest.

FG to lottery operators: Sit up or lose your licences Edward Nnachi, Abakaliki

The Federal Government has charged operators and organisations licensed to engage in lottery businesses to sit up or have their licenses revoked.

Secretary to Government of Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha who dropped this hint Monday, at Umuezeoka General Hospital in Ezza North Local Government of Ebonyi state where he presented medical equipment, pointed out that the present government is poised to diversifying its revenue base.

Mustapha further noted that government would soon approve new operational

guidelines with a view to remove its inefficiencies in lottery business.

He explained that the proposed modification would affect the operations of the two agencies, the National Lottery Commission and the National Lottery Fund so as to strengthening its capacity.

“Government is presently in the process of approving new regulation and operational Guidelines with a view to remove its inefficiencies.

“The purpose is to strengthen the capacity of the two agencies, National Lottery Regulatory Commission and the National Lottery Trust Fund to perform their functions effectively.

“Accordingly, persons and organisations licensed

to engage in national lottery business must therefore sit up and perform or have their licenses revoked”, he said.

Mustapha, represented by the permanent Secretary Special Duties Office of SGF, Chief Williams Alo charged the people of Umuezeoka and the management of the hospital to protect and make judicious use of the equipment.

Similarly, the Acting Executive Secretary of National Lottery Fund, Mallam Bello Maigari added that the programme was to reaffirm President Muhammadu Buhari led administration’s commitment towards advancing, uplifting and promoting access to good healthcare in the country.

Fake news: Campaign tool for opposition against Buhari – Minister Tom Okpe, Abuja Ahead of 2019 general election, the Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has accused the opposition of resorting to the use of fake news as a campaign tool against the President

Muhammadu Buhari Administration.

The Minister made the remarks in Abuja on Monday when he visited the corporate headquarters of the Authority Newspapers to kick-start the media tour in furtherance of the campaign against fake news, which was recently

launched by the Federal Government.

He said because the administration is performing well, the political opposition believed that the best way to de-market it is by latching on to fake news to create religious and ethnic disharmony and throw the country into turmoil.

‘Court can’t stop NASS from performing legislative duties’ Andrew Orolua, Abuja One fundamental reason the Court of Appeal gave last week for setting aside the judgment delivered by the Federal High Abuja division on the suit filed by Accord party was that the suit itself was premature.

The political party had filed the action at the Federal High Court when the action it sort to challenge was inchoate.

Accord party, sensing that the National Assembly may veto the President’s decline assent, the party filed the suit at the Federal High Court Abuja challenging the passage of the bill.

The political party instituted the action the very week President Muhammadu Buhari declined assent to the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2018. The President was not satisfy with the insertion of Section 51(1) in to the amendment Bill, more so when during the debate by members of the Senate at the floor the Bill was tagged: “A Bill for an Act to amend the provisions of the Electoral Act to make provisions for sequence of elections in Nigeria and for related matters.” The Chairman, Senate Committee on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Suleiman Nazif had explained that the inserted Section 51 (1) provides for “new reordered sequence of elections that would start with Governorship/ State Houses of Assembly elections, followed by the National Assembly election and Presidential election last.”

Section 51 (1) of the amendment Electoral Bill 2018 was a major reason adduced by the President for withholding his assent even though he rejected the bill on three different grounds. The new sequence of elections inserted by the legislature through section 25(1) violates the provisions of section 72 of the 1999 constitution which empowers the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to fix dates of elections and see to its conduct in all ramifications, the presidency had said.

The fear that National Assembly may veto the president assent created apprehension in the polity and to prevent it from happening, Accord party went to court. In its prayer, the party asked the court to stop the passage of the bill into an act. Plaintiff counsel, Chief Wole Olanipekun (SAN) through oral application asked the court for a preservative order. In his wisdom the judge, Justice Ahmed Mohammed ordered “the defendants to maintain status quo ante belum pending the next adjourned date.

“In view of the provisions of section 58, subsection 5 of the 1999 constitution which empowers the National Assembly to veto the president withholding of his assent by a two-third majority votes, the court is simply to preserve the res in order to safeguard the integrity of the court and the sanctity of the judiciary under section 6 (6) of the 1999 constitution.”

Accord party suit went through full trial on Tuesday 20, March, 2018 during which the National Assembly preliminary objection was also heard. In its objection, which was argued by Joseph Daudu (SAN) the National Assembly said the bill is inchoate with the president’s refusal to ascent to it.

That the doctrine of separation of power robbed the court of jurisdiction to interfere with work in progress in the National Assembly. That the bill in question will become an Act of Parliament if the President ascended to it or his declined assent is vetoed by the National Assembly.

In the Originating Summons marked FHC/ ABJ/CS/232/2018, the plaintiff raised 8 issues for determination by the court, thus: Having regards to the combined provisions of sections 79,116,118,132,153,160(1) and 178 of the 1999 constitution as amended, the constitution read together with paragraph 15(a) of the third schedule to the same constitution, whether the 3rd defendant ( Independent

President, Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa

National Electoral Commission) is not the only institution or body constitutionally vested with the powers and vires to organized, undertake and supervised elections to the offices of the president, the vice president of the federal republic of Nigeria, the Governor and deputy governor of a state, the membership of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the House of Assembly of each state of the federation, including fixing the sequence and dates of the elections to the said offices?

That considering the combined provisions of sections 79,116,118,132,153,160(1) and 178 of the 1999 constitution as amended, the constitution read together with paragraph 15(a) of the third schedule to the same constitution, whether the 1st defendant (National Assembly) possesses the powers vires to propose any bill or pass any bill into an Act which directs or purport to direct, mandates, or purport to mandate, dictates or purport to dictate to the 3rd defendant to follow a particular sequence in the organization and conduct of elections to the offices of President and vice president, the Governor and deputy governor of a state, the membership of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the House of Assembly of each state of the federation?

Whether having regard to the exercise by the 3rd defendant (INEC) of its powers and in furtherance of its function and duty to organize, undertake and supervise all elections to the offices of the President and vice president, the Governor and deputy governor of a state, the membership of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the House of Assembly of each state of the federation, as prescribed by sections 76(1), 116(1), 132(1), 153(1)(f) and 178(1) and sections 25 and 30 of the Electoral Act, 2010 and having come out with or announced a schedule or time table for 2019, general election, the 1st defendant can later make a law to re-order, or prescribed a schedule inconsistent with the schedule or order earlier on made by the 3rd defendant under legislation which were at the time of the exercise valid and extant ?

The plaintiff further asked for a declaration that the 3rd defendant(INEC) is the only body and or institution constitutionally vested with the powers, vires and duties to organize, undertake and supervise elections to the offices of the President and vice president, the Governor and deputy governor of a state, the membership of the Senate, the House of Representatives and the House of

Assembly of each state of the federation, including fixing or assigning dates for the said elections and the sequence of same.

The plaintiff is therefore asking the court for an Order setting aside clause 25 of the Electoral Amendment Bill, 2018 An order of perpetual injunction restraining: The President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, represented by the second defendant, from assenting to the electoral act amendment bill, 2018 as passed by the first defendant.

The first defendant from passing into law, by a two third majority, or any majority at all the said bill as already passed by it.

The trial court granted the reliefs sought except the prayer seeking to restrain the President from assenting to the Electoral Act Amendment Bill because the President had already declined his assent.

Dissatisfied with the judgment the National Assembly appealed against the decision of the Federal High Court.

In its judgment that was delivered last week’s Wednesday, five justices of full panel of the Court of Appeal set aside the entire judgment of the Federal High Court which nullified the National Assembly’s election re-ordering provision of the Electoral Act (Amendment) Bill 2018.

In their unanimous judgment delivered by the President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachuwa, the Court of Appeal held that the Federal High Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the suit in the first place.

She also held that the Accord’s suit was premature as a bill could not be challenged in the law court until it became an Act. In upholding the appeal by the National Assembly, the appellate court further held that the Accord Party which instituted the suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja lacked the locus standi to file the action.

Justice Bulkachuwa held that since the bill did not affect its rights or the obligations of the party, the “general interest” available to the public did not confer the rights on it to challenge the bill.

Though the appellate court noted that section 4(8) of the 1999 Constitution imbued the judiciary with the powers to review the exercise of legislative functions

and determine the constitutionality of acts of the NASS, it said such judicial powers does not negate the principle of separation of powers enshrined in sections 4, 5 and 6 of the Constitution. While upholding the appeal that was lodged by the NASS, the Justice Bulkachuwa-led panel stressed that a Bill does not become an Act of the NASS until it is assented to by the President pursuant to section 58 of the constitution. It maintained that the constitution gave the President the right to the decline his assent to a Bill, following which such document would be returned to the NASS for further legislative action that could result in dumping of the proposed law or an override of the President by two-third majority vote by both chambers of the legislature.

“A court of law has no jurisdiction to decide on a Bill still undergoing legislative process. Such decision becomes null and void since it is not yet a law or an Act of NASS”, Justice Bulkachuwa held, adding that doing otherwise would amount to the court “unwittingly interfering with the doctrine of separation of powers”.

“The court cannot grant an injunction to restrain the legislature from performing its legislative duties.

It should however be sounded clear that the court has the jurisdiction to strike down any law or Act of the NASS when found to be in contravention of any section of the Constitution”. The appellate court held that the suit by Accord Party was “an action that was designed to obstruct the legislative powers of the NASS to make law”.

It further observed that as at the time the suit was filed before the high court, the NASS had yet to conclude its legislative duty as far as Amendment of the Electoral Act 2018 was concerned. The appellate court warned that a situation where suits are filed to challenge Bills that are still undergoing legislative process was capable of disabling the legislature. It held that Accord Party failed to show how the proposed amended election sequence would affect its right as a political party, adding that the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, which was listed as the 3rd Respondent in the appeal, did not file a suit to challenge the purported infringement on or usurpation of its powers by the NASS. “The plaintiff’s locus standi in this case has not yet been disclosed. A claimant must have some justifiable interest that would suffer or show that he has an injury or damage to suffer. “I am satisfied and I hold that this 1st Respondent’s action at the lower court was not justice-able. The suit was an academic exercise that did not raise any live and genuine issue in controversy for determination.

“The suit is frivolous and clearly an abuse of court process. I resolve the issue in favour of the Appellant.

The judgment of the Federal High Court delivered on April 25 is hereby nullified.

“On the whole this Appeal succeeds, it has merit.

The judgement of the high court is hereby set-aside”, the appellate court held. It will be recalled that the NASS had in the Appeal marked CA/A 485/2018, which was filed on June 14, prayed the court to declare that it has the constitutional powers to amend the Electoral Act to re-order the election sequence already released by INEC. However, the last word appeared not to have been heard about the election sequence and the suit as the Accord has threatened to appeal the decision. When that happened the Supreme Court will have the opportunity to have the final say on the matter.

Meanwhile, as the matter drags on the Presidency is studying a fresh version of the Amended 2018 Electoral Bill sent by the National Assembly for his assent. It is not clear which path the President will take, more so when INEC’s timetable for holding of party primaries begins this month. It is instructive to note that Section 87 of the 2010 Electoral Act requires that political parties hold primaries for aspirants seeking elective positions. This section further outlines the procedure for nomination of candidates by parties.

Lagos 2019: Why Epe wants East Senatorial seat and Lanre Razak’s connection Stories: Patrick Okohue As preparations for the 2019 general election hot up across the country, aspirants have showcasing their high points that they consider effective political tools that can earn them their electoral successes at the polls.

While individuals are intensifying their efforts through mobilisation, sensitisation and consultations towards achievement of their goals, some groups have also sprung up as campaign mouthpieces either for some particular aspirants or for their catchment areas in their various political divisions.

In this game of ‘It is our turn’ (Awa L’okan) game, Epe Division in the Lagos East Senatorial District is not also left out.

The Daily Times’ checks revealed the ways things are done politically in the district. It would be noted that Lagos East Senatorial District comprises five separate Divisions.

They are; Ibeju-Lekki, Somolu, Kosofe, Ikorodu and Epe. And in the spirit of justice, fair play and rotational principle, the senatorial slot has been moving from one division to the other. The record clearly shows however that, while a particular Division has benefited from the arrangement

Lanre Razak

twice, Epe Division is yet to have the taste of the senatorial pudding.

Looking at how its stands since 1979 till date, it shows that from 1979 to 1983, Senator Adebanjo from Ibeju-Lekki axis held t5he position, while between 1992 and 1993, Anthony Adefuye from Somolu axis held sway and between 1999 to 2003, Adeseye Ogunlewe from Ikorodu also held the position.

Also between 2003 to 2011, Olorunnimbe Mamora from Kosofe zone was the Senator that represented the Lagos East

Resist being used as tools by political leaders to intimidate masses, Dickson tells NSCDC boss The Bayelsa State governor, Hon. Seriake Dickson on Monday, charged law enforcement agents to guard against the politicisation of security in order not to undermine the prevailing peace in the state.

Governor Dickson made the call, when the new Bayelsa State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, (NSCDC), Mrs. Christiana Omanu Abiakam paid him a courtesy visit in Government House, Yenagoa.

A statement by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Francis Ottah Agbo quoted the governor, as urging security agents to resist being used as tools in the hands of some political leaders, whose activities he noted, were capable of destabilising the state.

Governor Dickson stressed that, in line with his administration’s policy on zero tolerance for crime, he would no longer condone acts of lawlessness in the state and urged officers and men of the Corps to exhibit professionalism in the discharge their of their duties.

His said, “There are politicians in this state in some political parties who are complete criminals and terrorists killing people election after election. They

are involved in all major communal problems. They use most of your officers and men. As, we speak your men are guarding people of shady characters, parading as political leaders, including people against whom judicial process has commenced.

“So, my charge to you is that, while this government will continue to support law enforcement agencies to do their jobs better, the government and people will no longer condone a situation, whereby uniform men are used to intimidate, kill and maim people in this state.”

Governor Dickson, who assured the NSCDC of the government’s readiness to provide a security platform on the waterways said, he had already directed the Ministry of Lands and Survey to provide land for the building of an official accommodation for the new Commandant.

Earlier, in her remarks, the new Bayelsa State Commandant, Mrs Christiana Omanu Abiakam assured that, they would work closely with other security agencies to carry out their core mandate of checking pipeline vandalism and protection of other government facilities and assets.

Gbenga Ashafa

Senatorial District, while from 2011 till Date Olugbenga Ashafa from Ibeju-Lekki has been the man at the saddle.

From the above, while IbejuLekki Division is enjoying its second chance, Epe Division is yet to have a chance to occupy the coveted seat, hence, the advocacy for ‘It’s Our Turn’ by the people of that Division.

This perhaps it is believed must have informed the decision of the division to want to present a formidable, highly experience and eminently qualified politician to occupy the seat from next year2019 election.

According to a source within the Epe axis, the realisation that unless they present not just a common front for the election, but also a person that will be difficult to beat informed their decision to

queue behind Chief Kamorudeen Lanrewaju Mabadeje (KLM) Razak and present him as their candidate for the election.

Chief Lanre Razak, as he is popularly called, is a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos State and a former Commissioner for Public Transportation in the state.

He is also a philanthropist, business mogul and a former governorship candidate in the state.

It will however be noted that it will not be an easy race for the Epe axis to run, as other zones of the district will also want to argue points on why they should be the ones to take the ticket, but the sentiment of having never held the position at all when others have had second opportunity should be an added advantage to the people of Epe axis.

Don’t despair, use PVC to elect responsible government, Turaki urges Nigerians A frontline presidential aspirant on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and former Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki, SAN, has pleaded with Nigerians not to lose hope as they are being confronted with daunting challenges of living on a daily basis.

Turaki made the plea in Bauchi on Sunday while addressing PDP executive committees, delegates, elders and other members from states in the North East zone.

It was part of his ongoing consultations to states ahead of the party’s national convention.

The presidential aspirant, according to a release signed

by Sola Atere, Director Media and Publicity, Kabiru Tanimu Turaki Presidential Campaign Organisation, noted that: “There is so much poverty, hunger, insecurity, harassment, joblessness and disaffection in the land due to APC’s mis-governance,” but added that, “there is light at the end of the dark tunnel.”

He therefore urged Nigerians to translate their anger and frustration against the APC-induced terrible living condition by voting the part out to make way for the PDP that is willing, ready and able to rescue the nation in 2019.

Turaki promised that if he succeeds in being the president, he would come up with workable policies and appoint tested and respected

economic team to revamp the economy.

He stressed that it was still possible to attain and surpass the economic achievements as at May 28, 2015 prior to the APC government when Nigeria’s economy was leading in Africa and was also the third fastestgrowing in the world after China and Qatar before being downgraded by the clueless current government.

The Senior Advocate of Nigeria said also that compliance with the rule of law and respect for the other arms of government will hallmark his administration. This will be in sharp contrast to the current intimidation and harassment of both the legislature and the judiciary, at times with gunwielding agents of state.

Turaki who was once the chairman, Presidential Committee on Dialogue and Peaceful Resolution of Security Challenges in the North East recalled that the government then successfully pushed the Boko Haram insurgency to the fringes of the country, which made it possible to hold the 2015 general elections in the frontline states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.

Besides, he said, the committee compiled a comprehensive report that would have ensured a lasting solution to security challenges across the country, but that the APC government dumped the report. Hence, the retrogression of the gains made and subsequent escalation of the problem, he

Kabiru Tanimu Turaki

lamented.

He therefore promised to revisit the report and also come up with a more effective and efficient security architecture to address the problem.

The presidential hopeful also lamented that the country had never been so divided since the 1914 amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates, promising to tackle the problems head-on as a bridge-builder.

The Director General of his campaign organisation and former governor of Adamawa State, Mr. Boni Haruna who is also from the North East, explained that he teamed up with Turaki because the dynamics of the time required an intelligent, hardworking, knowledgeable, youthful, energetic and charismatic person imbued with integrity and accountability such as the aspirant to run the affairs of the country.

full of gratitude, I welcome you all to Ebonyi state, which marks a historic landmark in the history of our statehood”.

Umahi said the government and people of the state were elated by the efforts currently being made by Ibeto Cement Company, the core investor in NIGERCEM in establishing a new 6,000tpd dry process cement plant and 45 megawatt capacity power plant as first phase of the project at Nkalagu.

He added the state was pleased to welcome specially the project’s core investor’s partners and Dream Team from the United States of America and core financier of NIGERCEM in collaboration with Ibeto Group Limited.

He said, with the nod given to the Ibeto Group by Minister of Solid Minerals and Steel Development, Dr. Kayode Fayem, the project was billed to succeed.

Edo NMA bags award for leadership values, ethical standards commended the organization for deeming him worthy of the honour bestowed on him by the Centre for Ethics and Self Value Orientation, attributing the core leadership values, ethical standards and zero tolerance for corruption as virtues he got from his parents and teachers which has thus been his guiding principles.

Executive Director, Centre for Ethics and Self Value Orientation, Prince Salih Musa Yakubu who described the duo of Dr. Emmanuel Osaigbovo and Dr. Valentine Omoifo as men of integrity who have also shown character in their profession as well as in exposing corruption said the awardees were carefully picked after a survey finding which distinguished them as deserving for the awards.

Salih alleged that it is unfortunate that over 80% of awards bagged by Nigerians under the National Merit Award are in the hands of persons with questionable characters who have questions to answer before the Court of Law in the country.

According to him, “We are living in a country where criminals are celebrated. We at the Centre for Ethics and Self Value Orientation is raising thousands of advocates who are haters of corruption as Nigeria must be sanitized of all the corrupt practices.”

The Centre for Ethics and Self Value Orientation is a Lokoja based International Anti-corruption non state actor majored in exposing corruption, promoting ethical, leadership and value orientation of global citizens.

The Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Edo State branch yesterday received an award of credence conferred on the Association and the immediate past Chairman, Dr. Emmanuel Osaigbovo for their contributions to the medical profession and promoting excellence in public service by the Center for Ethics and Self Value Orientation.

The newly elected Edo State branch Chairman of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Dr. Valentine Omoifo while receiving the award said the Association would maintain a high level of standard as well as express the commitment of the executives under his leadership to uphold a high sense of accountability in the affairs of the Association.

Omoifo, who appreciated the Centre for identifying ethical standards among members of the Association in their medical practice as well as giving recognition to deserving individuals noted that probity and accountability is the watch-word of the Association.

It would be recalled that Prof.

Afekhide Ernest Omoti, who held sway as chairman of Edo NMA between 2014 to 2016 maintained the highest OHWODEDE KINGSLEY I, FORMERLY KNOWN AND level of accountability and ADDRESSED AS OHWODEDE probity as well as exposed KINGSLEY UDOKA, NOW WISH TO all act of corruption which BE KNOWN AND ADDRESSED AS subsequently his successors OHWODEDE KINGSLEY UFUOMA. have also uphold.

“We have no doubt whatsoever that his plans to build a new cement plant in Nkalagu will also be successful. I therefore enjoin the delegation to be rest assured of the fact that Ibeto will deliver on its promise and the quality of the NIGERCEM cement brand will no doubt surpass all other brands.

“Dr. Cletus Ibeto is a seasoned businessman who has had an enduring presence in the Nigerian business sphere which is unparallel with respect to hard work, quality and unyielding entrepreneurial spirit. In this regard, not quite long ago, I had the honour of visiting the factory site with the Honourable Minister of Solid Minerals and Steel Development wherein he assured Dr. Ibeto and his company of the support of the Federal Government of Nigeria in the actualization of the New NIGERCEM Cement Plant”, he stated.

U20 WWC: Falconets go down fighting against Germany

Nigeria’s Falconets today slumped 1-0 to Germany in their opening group game at the 2018 FIFA U20 World Cup in France.

Three-time world champions Germany deservedly went ahead in the 69th minute, when striker

Sanders tucked away a rebound.

But minutes later, Peace Efih saw her goal-bound effort crash against the post with the entire German defence well beaten.

F a l c o n e t s goalkeeper Chiamaka Nnadozie was

g23

outstanding as she pulled off several saves especially in the second half as the Germans piled on the pressure.

Star player and leading scorer in the qualifiers Rasheedat Ajibade was disappointing for the Nigerians.

NFF crisis: Minister Dalung inaugurates 6-man reconciliation committee

The Minister of Youths and Sports Development, Solomon Dalung, on Monday inaugurated a six-man reconciliation committee to bring lasting solution to the lingering crisis in the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).

Inaugurating the committee in Abuja, Dalung said the NFF crisis has already impeded the desired growth and development of football in the country.

“Except personal interests were set aside, the crisis will continue unabated. So, we need to do something,’’ he said.

Dalung said the committee was set up following a decision taken at the Stakeholders Roundtable on Governance Challenges of the NFF held in July in Abuja.

“Unless we each put aside our parochial interests and differences, and work towards the common goal of combating the evil plaguing Nigerian football, it will continue its free fall.

“This, any responsible government will not allow, hence the need for this committee of distinguished elders,’’ the minister said.

He said the committee’s inauguration on Monday

marked yet another milestone in the collective efforts to rescue Nigerian football and set it on a path of sustainable growth.

Dalung urged the committee to identify the causes of the current leadership crisis in the NFF, evaluate the dimensions of the crisis and the contribution of actors to the issue.

He said the committee should invite the two warring NFF factions to the reconciliation table with a view to addressing their concerns towards “achieving a sustainable and winwin solution’’.

Dalung also advised the committee to make recommendations to ensure smooth leadership succession without adversely affecting the development and management of football in Nigeria.

Responding on behalf of the committee members, the chairman of the committee, Abdulmumini Aminu, promised to put in their best to ensure a lasting solution to the crisis.

“The assignment is a complex one in the sense that whatever position you take, the other side will see you as

taking side.

“But with the calibre of people on the committee, who are responsible Nigerians and technocrats, I believe we will be able to do a very thorough job for the nation.

“We know there is much at stake in this issue, and the integrity of the country is at stake. Also, `FIFA hammer’ is by the side, it can knock on us at any moment.

“So, we have to be very careful and very thorough while undertaking this assignment,’’ the retired Army Colonel, who is also a former chairman of the NFF, said.

Other members of the committee are former NFF Presidents Ibrahim Galadima and Anthony Kojo-Williams, Onye Gye-Wado, Sam Sam Jaja and Bolaji Ojo-Oba. A Secretariat to provide proper documentation of all activities of the committee comprises Danjuma Muhammed, the Acting Director of Legal Services at the Sports Ministry, Stanley Okebugwu and Reuben Tiyatiye.

The committee has two weeks to work and submit its report.

Barcelona signs Arturo Vidal Tanzania appoint Emmanuel Amuneke as head coach from Bayern Munich Barcelona Football Club on Monday announced it has signed Chile international, Arturo Vidal, from German side, Bayern Munich, on a 3 year contract.

Before the official confirmation of his move to Camp Nou, it was widely reported that Vidal was nearing a move to Italian side Inter Milan instead, he opted to play in La Liga for Spanish champions Barcelona.

“Happy. To be honest, I am very happy.

I am looking forward to starting training with my team-mates, to wearing such a famous shirt, and to doing important things here.

“It is a dream. I hope to achieve my objectives. I am here to win all the trophies available and I will give everything on the pitch to achieve this.” Vidal said in a statement on the club’s website.

Vidal also said he is excited to be at the club where he would play alongside the best players in the world. “….Winning everything. During the three-year contract, I hope we can win everything we play for. I am excited to play with Messi, Suárez, Sergio Busquets… they are all great players.”

The 31-year-old will fill the void of the departing Brazilian box-to-box midfielder Paulinho who left the Nou Camp to rejoin Chinese side Guangzhou Evergrande on loan in July.

Vidal joined Bayern Munich from Italian side Juventus in 2015 for a fee in the region of £32m, signed by former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola.

During his time in Bavaria, Vidal won three consecutive Bundesliga titles and

Tanzania have appointed former Nigeria winger Emmanuel Amuneke as the new head coach of the national team.

Amuneke, who was most recently coach of Sudan Premier League side Al Khartoum SC, has signed a twoyear contract.

“I am happy to start this new job and work hard so that we can achieve a lot together,” Amuneke told local media.

His first competitive game in charge of the senior Taifa Stars will be their 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Uganda in September.

Wallace Karia, president of the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) told the BBC that Amuneke will also oversee the other Tanzania teams, including the U-17 and U-20 groups.

“We shall have coaches for the other teams, but Amuneke will be the head starting with the 2019 African U-17 qualifiers which kick-off in Dar es Salaam this weekend.

“We are happy to have Amuneke who has played at the top and has a lot of experience as a coach. We have picked our very own from Africa,” added Karia.

Amuneke, 47, was the assistant coach when Nigeria won the Fifa U-17 World Cup trophy for a record fourth time in the United Arab Emirates in 2013.

Two years later Amuneke led Nigeria to a fifth U-17 World Cup title in Chile and, revered as a proven youth manager, he was swiftly promoted to coach the U-20 side the Flying Eagles.

As a player, he was a key part of the Super Eagles team, scoring both goals at the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations in Tunisia where Nigeria beat Zambia 2-1 to secure their second African title.

He also played at the 1994 World Cup – scoring memorable goals against Bulgaria and Italy.

He scored the winner again as Nigeria stunned Argentina 3-2 in the

1996 Olympic football final in Atlanta to become the first African football nation to win Olympic gold.

His clubs included Egyptian side Zamalek, and he played at European football heavyweights FC Barcelona and Portugal’s Sporting Club.

D’Tigress new coach urges team to focus on FIBA World Cup success

the DFB Pokal in his opening season.

While playing for Juventus he won four consecutive Serie A titles, winning the Coppa Italia in his final season and finished as runner-up in the Champions League in 2015 – losing to Barcelona.

Newly appointed Head Coach of the Nigerian Senior Women’s Basketball team – D’Tigress, Otis Hughley, has warned the team not to give into distractions as they prepare for their first FIBA World Cup since 2006.

Hughley gave the crucial pep talk when he addressed the team in Atlanta shortly before their 96-92 win over Yellow Jackets PRO in a friendly game in the early hours of Monday.

“Don’t give in to those distractions because you are not going to be your best you can if you do. If you are not

your best, it is a disservice to the gift God has given you.

“If you are not thinking about doing what it is you have been put on earth to do by representing who you are, your family and future, then you have been distracted,” Hughley said in a youtube video posted by Titans Basket.

The former Golden State Warriors assistant coach expresses his excitement over the opportunity to work with the team which he describes as “a bunch of talented professionals.”

“I am excited, I have coached a lot of players but that doesn’t matter. I can’t be more excited than I am now.

I get chills while talking about this. I drove 6 hours here,” he said.

He also adds that to achieve World Cup success, it takes the effort of everybody involved as the world needs to know the full potential of the D’Tigress.

“They know you are here, they know you can play and that you are good, but they don’t know how smart you really are and they don’t know your potentials,” Otis stated.

QUOTABLE QUOTES Never argue with stupid people, because they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
