Mr. Yusuff Alli, Chairman of the group, told President Buhari that the outfit, with headquarters in Abu Dhabi, has over 164 supermarkets and shopping malls. It employs over 50,000 people.

“The interest is to work with Nigerian farmers, using local produce to ensure food security.

Demands NASS Investigation

Tunde Opalana, Abuja The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has queried the All Progressives Congress (APC)-led Federal Government and the Buhari Presidency over alleged unwholesome borrowings leading to the escalation of the nation debt stock from N12.12 trillion in 2015 to N24.38 trillion in 2018.

The party described as saddening and devastating that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration, in its manifest incompetence and lack of initiative to stimulate and run a productive economy, relies on heavy borrowings and unbearable tax regimes, which have crippled productivity, caused untold hardship and mortgaged the economic future of our nation.

The party’s mouthpiece, Kola Ologbondiyan, in a statement on Monday, said since President Buhari assumed office in 2015, there have been a culture of unexplained borrowings leading to a steep rise in the debt stock from N17.5

trillion in 2016 to N21.72 trillion in 2017 and a huge N24.387 trillion in 2018.

The party said “it is shocking and completely insupportable that our nation’s debt had risen from N21.72 trillion in December 2017 to N24.387 trillion in December 2018, showing an accumulation of a whopping N2.66 trillion in a space of one year”.

He stressed that President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has a huge explanation to make to Nigerians for its borrowing spree, especially as it cannot point to any meaningful development project into which the borrowed funds were invested.

“This is particularly against the backdrop of allegations in the public space that the borrowed funds, which were taken as development funds, were diverted to 2019 general elections campaign activities of the APC, a huge part of which ended in private pockets of corrupt APC leaders.

“This is in addition to direct frittering of public funds through the alleged

N1.4 trillion sleazy oil subsidy regime, the looted N9 trillion detailed in the leaked NNPC memo, the alleged N33 billion fraud in the handling of funds meant for the welfare of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the North East, among other sleazes”, he said.

The PDP therefore urged the National Assembly to commence a systemwide investigation into the borrowings by the Buhari administration, particularly the terms of the borrowing and the handling of the funds.

The party said “the National Assembly should also save the future of our nation by restricting the Buhari administration from taking further loans on behalf of our country until explanations are provided on the terms and handling of the borrowed funds”.

“Nigerians cannot afford to continue to bear burden of an incompetent and insensitive administration and that is why they eagerly await the retrieval of our stolen mandate at the Presidential election petition tribunal,” the PDP added.

I will contest for Senate president, Ndume insists Mathew Dadiya and Tom Okpe, Abuja

Senator Ali Ndume has said he will not step down his quest to contest for the position of Senate president in the ninth National Assembly despite his party, the All Progressives Congress (APC) directive that it has named its candidate.

Ndume, who represents Borno South Senatorial District, said this on Monday, after meeting with Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

Ndume said that was still eyeing the number one position in the Senate.

He arrived at Aso Rock around 3pm before proceeding to Osinbajo’s office for the meeting.

The ruling party, APC is expected to produce the next crop of National Assembly leaders after emerging with the majority lawmakers in the two chambers.

The Daily Times recalls that penultimate week, the party leadership and President Muhammadu Buhari had endorsed Ahmad Lawan as the party’s candidate for Senate President in the ninth National Assembly.

In spite the party’s decision, Ndume said he will run against Lawan who took over his position as Senate Leader after the Borno lawmaker fell out with Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki.

At the end of the one-hour meeting with Osinbajo, State House correspondents asked Ndume if he had withdrawn from the race and he asked rhetorically: “Me?” He declined to comment on the issues discussed with the Vice President but said he was still consulting over his bid to chair the ninth assembly.

“This is not the time to talk now because I am still holding

consultations,” he said.

Also reminded that he was said to be opposition bride, he also replied, “Me that is regarded as enemy by opposition?

Ndume had last week rolled out a nine-point agenda which he said he would implement if elected the next Senate President.

He promised to make the office of the Senate President less attractive by cutting some of the privileges attached to it as well as uphold the Independence of the Legislative arm of government and “work harmoniously and interdependently with the Executive without undermining the principle of Separation of Power”.

He said he will prioritise and ensure the passage of the Constituency Development Bill to make “Constituency projects more transparent, accountable, efficient and effective”.

Meanwhile, the National Coalition in Defence of Democracy (NCDD) has called on the newly elected members of the National Assembly irrespective of party affiliations to consider Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume as the Senate President of the 9th National Assembly when inaugurated in May. The group said Ndume, a three term Senator from Borno South Senatorial District, Borno State, a patriot, a detribalised Nigerian and an experienced member of the National Assembly who has contributed to the growth of our democracy, is a better choice for the position of the President of the Nigerian Senate.

The group led by its National Coordinator, Ambassador Auwal Alhassan Gama, in a press conference in Abuja on Monday, said: “The decision to call for support for Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume’s emergence as the next Senate

President is borne out of our desire for a healthy working relationship between the Executive and the Legislature for a better delivery of democratic dividends.

“It is our belief that he will bring his matured sense of reasoning, experience and fear of God into play as the Chairman of the National Assembly; he is one politician we know and trust will unite all interest in the 9th assembly.”.

The forum held a meeting in Lagos recently with all the State Coordinators and FCT with the National Executives to present report on the just concluded general elections and the way forward.

“The forum observed among other things that one of the reasons why the present government under the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari did not meet up the expectations of many Nigerians in the areas of Infrastructure and Human development was a result of the sour relationship between the Executive and the Legislative arms of Government.

This has created setbacks in the areas of non-full implementation of the budget and alteration on key intended project by the government”, he said.

Ambassador Auwal emphasised the above observation and the need to get it right this time around for the smooth running of the affairs of the government, adding that “as we go into yet a new term of four years mandate given to President Muhammadu Buhari and the Ninth National Assembly by the Nigerian people is what informed this press conference.

“While we salute the courage and goodwill of the presidency in allowing the independence of all arms of government to run its activities independently. It is equally

Ndume important for all stakeholders including the APC National Working Committee to provide a level playing ground for all its members at the North Eastern part of the country who deemed it fit to contest”.

The group urged all memberselect of the National Assembly, especially those of the upper chamber to support the call for Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume’s Senate Presidency, adding “We were part of the process that brought you onboard and it is our humble plea and belief that Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume will not disappoint us”.

In a related development, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has advised against imposing leaders on members of the ninth National Assembly.

Dogara spoke during the induction of senators-elect and House of Representatives memberselect in Abuja.

The speaker said it is advisable to allow the leadership of the upper and

S’Court denies split among justices over Onnoghen Andrew Orolua, Abuja It is not true that the exit of former Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen “split the Supreme Court,” the apex Court said in a reaction to a publication on Sunday.

The Director of Press and Information, Supreme Court, Dr. Akande Festus, stated in statement on Monday that their attention was drawn to a publication in a national daily (not

The Daily Times) titled” “Onnoghen’s Exit Splits Supreme Court,” and that it is necessary to state categorically clear that the publication “is false and misleading in its entirety”.

“There is no iota of truth in the story, as every word in it only exists in the realm of rumour and mischief,” he added.

According to him, “the Supreme Court of Nigeria is one big, indivisible judicial family that is not in any way

governed by religious, tribal or parochial influence or sentiments.

“The Judicial oath taken by all the justices of the Court has already initiated a potent sacred bond to regulate and conscientise the conducts of their lordships in the discharge of their judicial functions.

“For the umpteenth time, let it be known to all and sundry that no judicial officer is appointed on account of religious or tribal affiliation, as such, the discharge of their

judicial obligations cannot be dictated by such extraneous considerations. As it has always been, the Supreme Court justices and the entire management are united, cohesive and indivisible in the quest to move the Court to an enviable height”.

He enjoined members of the public to always cross check their facts from the Court, using the Freedom of Information window, to avoid rushing to the media to exhibit their ignorance.

Fire guts Sam Mbakwe airport terminal building Chukwuemeke Iwelunmo The arrival hall of the Sam Mbakwe International Cargo Airport, Owerri, on Monday, was gutted by fire that affected some parts of the terminal building about 1400 hours.

Eye witness reports said the fire started around 2:10pm

and damaged equipment and infrastructure, before officers of the Aerodrome Rescue and Fire Fighting Services Department of FAAN arrived and assisted in salvaging the situation.

The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) in a statement confirmed the accident but stated there was no

casualty and normal operations has since resumed at the airport.

It informed passengers and the general public that FAAN has commenced preliminary investigations into the cause of the incident.

As at time of this report, the cause of the fire was yet to be determined but the airport authority has said it would

keep the general public abreast with its ARFFS findings.

A source, who witnessed the fire, said it happened at the arrival hall of the airport where the authority was carrying out renovation work.

He said “it would have wreaked more havoc but for the arrival of men of the fire service”.

lower legislative chambers emerge from the legislators instead of being forced on them.

He advised the parties involved to make sure they have the backing of the legislature because “they own the process.”

“Well, I’m not here to dictate to parties, the parties have their manifestos, the way to do their businesses, but one thing I have said and if you followed the business during this induction, it is always better to allow the leadership to emerge from the people,” he said.

“Where leadership has been forced upon the people, the history in the National Assembly, and in fact, the history of Nigeria, it has never endured.

“The least we could afford in the National Assembly is crisis on account of the leadership selection process.

“So whoever a party is sponsoring and supporting, they should make sure they have the backing of the legislature so that they accept it because they own the process and they own the leadership.

“That way, it will be good but in a situation it is forced, literally driven down the throat, in most cases it doesn’t augur well.

“Even in the Senate it doesn’t augur well. In the House of Representatives too, it doesn’t augur well too.”

He asked members to take their time to study those who have shown interest in different positions in the assembly, look out for those who can actualise their aspirations better and surpass the record of the eight assembly.

“My advice is that we stay calm to understand the people going in for these positions of leadership in the National Assembly,” he said.

“At the end of the day, we are praying that we have those leaders who will be able to sustain what we have done in the eight assembly or even surpass what we have done. We don’t want leadership that will take us back.

“We have made a lot of mileage and we hope that we will be able to get the kind of leadership that will build on the achievements of this assembly which is unparalleled in our legislative history.

“I will advise members to actually look out for those who have thrown themselves into the race to see who it is that will aggregate their aspirations better and then will be able to surpass the record of this assembly,” Dogara counseled.

Insecurity frustrating UNICEF’s programme in Kebbi, Zamfara Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja Officials engaged by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to implement its Cash Transfer Programme (CTP) have revealed that insecurity and bank in charge of the initiative are frustrating its ongoing cash transfer programme in Kebbi, Zamfara and Sokoto states.

According to both coordinators of the project in Zamfara and Kebbi states, Mrs. Maryam Shantali and Isah Usman, the activities of bandits operating freely in Zamfara and Kebbi states have adversely affected the programme.

Speaking during a two-day media dialogue on: “Cash transfers for improvement of girls’ enrolment in schools in Kebbi State,” Mrs. Shantali revealed that some of the beneficiaries of the programme have been dispersed to other communities following the activities of bandits.

This, she said, has recorded a major setback following difficulty in reaching out to some of the beneficiaries,

adding that “the communities chosen in Kebbi and Zamfara states to benefit from the CTP have the largest number of outof-school Children and they are the most rural communities.

“Recently, they are the most hit by the activities of bandits. This has affected the CTP because some of the beneficiaries of the programme have been displaced to neighbouring communities.

“Despite all odds, we have been able to pay the second and third payment but for those communities that have been destroyed, we are trying to track the caregivers. UNICEF is helping us to track their whereabouts and to see whether their children have been going to school”, she said.

On his part, Usman, identified the non-release of the fund by Standard Chartered Bank where it was domicile for onward disbursement to states as a major challenge to the project.

“Standard Chartered Bank has been a great challenge; the beneficiaries don’t get their money paid as a result of delay from the bank. This is affecting

our mode of operation because we have to wait for bank agents who sometimes may not show up for payment.

“Everyone involved in the project agreed on a schedule of work. But the bank, for unknown reasons, chose to operate otherwise. We wrote to them on several occasions especially during payment, to know if they are ready. But most times, they don’t reply our mails neither do they honour their commitments. That had greatly frustrated our efforts.

“In their usual ways, they would allow us to assemble parents and beneficiaries at different payment points amidst security threats, and they won’t show up with the funds for disbursement, neither would they explain to us the reason for their actions. In most times, it will take strong intervention of UNICEF leadership for the bank to react”, Usman said.

He added that the cash transfer intervention under the “Educate A Child” programme has been designed to reach over 41,391 child beneficiaries and their female caregivers in four years; 31,044 in Kebbi State and

10,347 in Zamfara State.

Earlier, Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, said the high number of out-of-school children in the north poses a serious danger to the children and the nation at large.

Represented by Uche Chuta, an assistant director at the ministry, Mohammed identified the major causes of the high number of out-ofschool children as poverty, early marriage, teenage pregnancy and illiteracy.

UNICEF is currently implementing CTP as an intervention programme in some northern states as a means of encouraging parents to get their children particularly females enrolled and remain in school.

Through the programme, UNICEF and its partners disburse N8, 000 to the children every term to encourage them to remain in school and get formal education.

Evidences have confirmed that the CTP project had succeeded in mobilising more children back to school.

Rivers: PDP intimidating Supreme Court, says APC Tom Okpe Abuja The All Progressives Congress (APC) has accused the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) of intimidating the Supreme Court Justices on matters of purported exclusion of Rivers State APC candidates in the just concluded general election in the country.

The ruling party spoke to journalists through its National Publicity Secretary, Mallam Lanre Issah Onilu at the party secretariat on Monday, saying “we read with dismay the statement by the opposition PDP against the APC and its leaders, two serving cabinet members, Minister of Transport, Chibuike Rotimim Amaechi and the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar malami (SAN)”.

“While the APC has no intention to join issues with the PDP over its fictional and concocted allegations against the party and its leaders, we are however well aware of the PDP’s intent to hoodwink and deceive the public; and most importantly, intimidate and blackmail our eminent Supreme Court Justices into doing their bidding in respect of the matter of the purported exclusion of Rivers State APC candidates from the last elections, before the apex court.

“Again, for the purpose of clarity, it needs restating that

the Supreme Court has not made any pronouncement on the purported exclusion of APC candidates from the just concluded Governorship, National Assembly and State Assembly elections in Rivers State; hence, the cheap attempt by the PDP to ambush the Supreme Court with their cock and bull conspiracies should be seen for what it is”, Onilu said.

The APC was denied fielding candidates by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in the Governorship, National Assembly and the State Assembly Elections in Rivers State.

The ruling party urged Nigerians to completely ignore the evil machinations of the PDP as contained in what it described as their ‘false’ statement on the matter of the purported exclusion of Rivers APC candidates in the last elections before the Supreme Court, adding, “The PDP as a party has refused to come to terms with the fact that the President Muhammadu Buhari-led APC administration is a stickler to the rule of law.

“As always, we shall allow the law take its course in respect of the purported exclusion of our candidates in the elections in Rivers State and we advise the PDP to do the same, rather than overheat the polity with their illogical and false claims”, Onilu stated.

Rivers APC primary: S’Court strikes out Short News Senator Abe’s appeal Lagos governorship election: AD, Labour To hear Kwara APC leadership tussle April 10

Andrew Orolua, Abuja The Supreme Court sitting in Abuja on Monday struck out an appeal filed by Senator Magnus Abe praying the court to make pronouncement on the proprietary of the direct and indirect primary elections conducted by the APC in the state for the nomination of its candidate for the 2019 general elections.

The apex court struck out the appeal on the grounds that the Notice of Appeal filed by Senator Abe was defective and not in compliance with the Rules of the Court.

Acting CJN, Justice Ibrahim Tanko Muhammad, who delivered the unanimous decision of the 7-man panel of justices of the apex court, held that the Notice of Appeal was incurably defective because it did not contain the names and titles of parties in the matter.

Besides, the acting CJN also held that the Notice of Appeal offended section 285 of the 1999 Constitution because amendment cannot be done to the Notice of Appeal in view of the fact that the 14 days required by law for filing the appeal had expired.

Sen. Abe had approached the court

asking it to make clarification on which of the two primary elections conducted in Rivers by APC was authentic in the eyes of the law.

However, the APC through its counsel, Mr. Jibrin Okutekpa (SAN), objected to hearing of the appeal on the grounds that names of appropriate persons affected by the suit were not listed on the Notice of Appeal and thereby making the appeal incompetent and incurably defective.

Justice Muhammad in the ruling, agreed with APC counsel and struck out the appeal on the ground that the notice of Appeal was defective.

The court rejected the plea by Henry Bello that the omission was committed by him and should therefore not be visited on his client, adding that the Notice of Appeal cannot be refiled because the 14 days allowed by law to do so, has expired.

In a related development, the apex court on Monday slated April 10, 2019 to hear the appeal on the leadership tussle rocking the All Progressive Congress (APC) in Kwara State.

The apex court which was prepared to hear the appeal filed by a factional chairman of the party in the state, Hon Ishola Balogun Fulani, at its sitting

on Monday, shifted the matter till Wednesday, April 10 due to non-service of hearing notice on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the caretaker chairman of the party in the state, Mr. Bashiru Bolarinwa.

Justice Bode Rhodes Vivour, who presided over the matter on Monday, shifted the hearing date when the registrar of the court announced that both INEC and Bolarinwa were not in court because hearing notice could not be served on them.

The appellant, Fulani through his counsel, Kehinde Kayode Eleja (SAN), had approached the apex court challenging the decision of the lower court which acceded powers to the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole, who arbitrarily dissolved the state executive committee of the party when their four-year tenure had not expired.

Fulani, who filed the appeal on behalf of other state executive members of the party, had prayed for a restraining order on Oshiomhole from further according recognition and dealing with Bolarinwa group as the officers of the APC in Kwara State.

Party head to tribunal

The Lagos State governorship candidate of the Alliance for Democracy (AD), Mr. Owolabi Salis, has approached the state Election Petitions Tribunal to challenge the victory of Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The AD Chairman, Mr. Kolawole Ajayi, disclosed this in Lagos on Monday at a joint news conference with the governorship candidate of the Labour Party (LP), Mr. Fagbemi Awamaridi.

Ajayi, while making the position of the party known on the March 9 governorship election, said the summary prayer before the tribunal was that Sanwo-Olu was not fit and proper to contest the 2019 governorship election.

“A declaration that the pronouncement of Babajide Sanwo-Olu of APC as the winner of the Governorship election is null and void and such pronouncement be set aside, because of the gross electoral fraud and/or gross electoral misconduct.

“A declaration that the law-abiding winner of the 2019 Lagos Governorship election is Owolabi Salis of the AD and should be sworn in immediately.

Three persons, including a staff of the station and two touts have been arrested, just as the station manager, chief marketing officer and chief parcel booking officer of the Kaduna Railway Station have also been invited for questioning.

This was disclosed by the Head, NEMA Imo/Abia Operations Office, Mr. Evans Ugoh, at a stakeholders’ workshop, with the theme: “Appraisal of disaster management, next level road map.’’

Ugoh said that as part of the new road map, a high frequency communication network had been designed between the agency and other sister agencies for effective disaster management in Imo and Abia states.

He attributed the inefficiency of some disaster outfits to poor funding, while also encouraging authorities of such agencies to ensure the affected outfits were well funded.

According to Ugoh, the communications network will enable stakeholders to coordinate disaster activities effectively in case of any emergency.

Giving the appraisal of the activities of the agency in 2018, Ugoh said NEMA intervened in various disaster outbreaks in Imo and Abia states and also provided relief materials to flood victims in Ohaji-Egbema Local Government of Imo state.

Sector Commander, Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Imo state, Mr. Joseph Aremu called for stronger synergy between NEMA and sister agencies, warning against the use of worn out vehicle tyres, saying that some of the road crashes recorded on Nigerian highways were caused majorly by the usage of worn out tyres.

Navy seizes 501 drums of oil, arrest 8 suspects for bunkering in A’Ibom Isaac Job, Uyo The navy in Ibaka, Mbo Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State has seized 501 drums of illegal Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) worth about N35 million from eight suspects.

The navy said the consignment and the suspects were arrested based on intelligence reports in the early hours of April 5 as they were conveying the boat loaded with AGO brought in from Oyorokoto in Rivers State along the Calabar channel leading to Oron River with three Yamaha outboard engines.

Parading the suspects yesterday in Ibaka during the hand-over of the suspects, the drums of AGO, wooden boat and outboard engines to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), acting Commanding Officer of the naval base, Capt. Reginald Adoki said from their findings, the products in the boat are suspected to be illegally refined AGO (diesel).

He said the activity of the suspects show a clear case of economic sabotage of which the navy is committed to rid the area of such illegal activities, adding that the handover of the suspects to the EFCC is a sign of their confidence in the commission.

“From findings, the products in the boat are suspected to be illegally refined diesel. The 501 drums of this diesel is about 300 litres sized drum which gives you about 150,000 litres which estimated market value will be put at about N25 - N35 million.

Should I laugh or cry?

Peter Esele

The recent report of five Nigerians arrested for armed robbery in Dubai and the response by the Senior Special Assistant on Foreign Affairs and Diaspora to the President has brought upon me the above caption.

Indeed robbery and drug trafficking are despicable acts that deserve unequivocal condemnation. Time and time again we often wonder why people would persevere with perpetrating crimes abroad knowing the ultimate price of jail terms and even death in some cases. However making haste to offer banal official statements ridden with diplomatic clichés and moral sentiments do not offer much by way of solutions.

We know this does not help because the problem persists. Condemnation tempered with critical thinking that raises key questions for a productive national conversation might be the way to go.

Between the presidential statement and the ethnic debate that polarised Nigerians on social media, where are the deeper questions we should be asking?

How many countries disparage their citizens the way we do here? Let us flip the coin for a second. If five foreign nationals were caught in a robbery scandal in

Nigeria, it is the laxity of our security agencies and Judiciary that will frame the debate. The errant foreign citizens will be condemned by their governments in a roundabout, convoluted language that still preserves the dignity of what it means to be an American or British citizen. The denials and all out condemnations are of course reserved for dual-nationals quickly rejected.

Mrs. Abike Dabiri- Erewa the President’s aide, should have known that her primary responsibility is to defend and support Nigeria and Nigerians in foreign countries come what may.

Rebuke with diplomacy. That is the art of her office. Therefore, initiate a Consular visit to these Nigerians to ensure their rights are protected. Investigate the broader context. Did the Dubai five enter the UAE with weapons from Nigeria? If no, how were the arms procured? How easy is it to buy weapons there? Were these Nigerians contracted by locals to carry out this raid? Could it another attempt to humiliate Nigerians? On the other hand, could there be an emerging ring of Nigerian gangs resident in the UAE making it easy for those coming to travel light? This could open up

deeper issues that might lead us to understanding what is actually going on beyond “all Nigerians should be good Ambassadors abroad”. Where do such clichés leave us? Does it tell us how fair and equitable the UAE justice system is? How many Nigerians have been murdered in the past in the UAE? Was justice serve? We must never forget this Nigerians are innocent , until the court of law says so. Mrs Dabiri-Erewa herself has in the past admitted to the shoddy treatment and possible innocence of some Nigerians caught up in alleged heinous crimes abroad.

It is the responsibility of our Government to stand by any Nigerian anywhere as it is done in other climes.

Recently, a British National was accused of spying abroad. His Government fought tooth and nail to get him home while also carrying out their own investigations and vigorous diplomatic engagements on his behalf.

The point is, ride or die, when one too many nationals start falling through the loop, the value of what it means to be a British citizen will be diminished abroad both for the innocent and guilty. After all, if their government does not value

them, why should any other?

I am not justifying crimes. I am simply making the point that the Nigerian Government should stand for its people abroad and conduct a critical analysis of the situation. They should act in accordance with laid down processes and rule of law. When you name, shame and humiliate the so-called guilty, you make it harder for others, even the innocent to be respected and treated with dignity abroad.

The sad part is that as with everything Nigeria the D5 saga has been buried under ethnic debates in the media, particularly social media platforms.

There is a bigger picture here we should be looking at and that is how it affect us all. What can be done to mitigate such incidents and equally ensure no Nigerian is maltreated anywhere in World? How do we also stop those with criminal intents from this perennial crises of national image defamation regardless of their tribe and creed?

I am neither Igbo nor Yoruba. I am Nigerian and I care what happens to us all and this is why I have decided to cry rather than laugh at the fallout from this saga.

Don’t cry for me Nigeria!

Emeka Oparah

I’m going be very unironic and blatant here: Nigeria may be totally finished, if good men and women do not step out and step forward to cause, make or lead the change we desperately need.

Generally speaking, things are getting worse. I actually thought otherwise, but you’ve got to forgive me because I am only human. Am I not? We are in big trouble-bigger trouble,if we do not join hands to take this big elephant out of the room. I will thank you to patiently read this because it is a rather very long post.

Thank you.

After a looooooong Friday, I thought I would simply take a shower, jump into my Orthopaedic bed and sleep under the influence, having had my due earlier.

But No. I couldn’t. I was restless instead.

Something was bothering me. I could not immediately discern or figure it out until I elected to do what my doctor warned me not to do: facebook while in bed! And that was it! Nigeria, my Nigeria.

And so, the first post I saw was that of my Egbon and mentor, Olusegun Patrick Odegbami, yes, the same Segun Odegbami better known in his hey days as “Mathematical Odegbami”. A skillful footballer, a gifted writer and a talented presenter, Egbon decided last year to dabble into the murky waters of Nigerian politics. I remember the night he invited me to Pa Tunde Oyelana’s Club in South East London. Having missed an opportunity to watch England’s last game at Russia 2018 with him days earlier, I could not but honor his invite.

And I’m glad I did. He and I and Dayo Olomu, Wole Odegbami (his younger brother) and a host of other Nigerians had a good time sipping from Baba Oyelana’s divine tapestry of great home music while sipping as ardently at our unique choices of “poison”. Right there in the din of the music, banter and alcohol, we had time to talk about his plan to stop complaining and do something serious about leadership in Nigeria, starting from his home state, Ogun.

Was I impressed? Absolutely. Was I concerned? Most definitely. Did I express my feelings? Trust me. One thing actually inspired me to believe that Egbon knew what he was doing. He said and I want to paraphrase him, since I can’t recollect his exact words: Let it not be that we just stood aside and watched things go from bad to worse! I liked that. I thought that was a very wise saying indeed, a great thought. It reminded me of another wise saying: “evil prospers when good men do nothing.” I wished him well, took his words for it, took him aside, took his

measurement for some Ethelberts and took off. It was indeed a good night.

Not long after our return to Nigeria, he launched his governorship campaign under the umbrella of Labour Party. I don’t know where he gets his energy and inspiration from, but Odegbami published a diary of his political activities, which came almost daily at a time. He was probably the only one who did. Others may have kept theirs but he religiously published his. I never missed reading his diary. How could I even do such a thing, when he (and I) have the good fortune of good social media skills-and so told his story on Facebook and shared it via WhatsApp. It was unputdownable!

Segun Odegbami wrote with amazing dexterity akin to his incredible runs down the flanks during his days in IICC Shooting Stars and the Green Eagles.

He told his story as it unfolded, as it is, making sure he metaphorically took you along his political journey, vivid, lucid, believable, emotive.

I followed the twists and turns of his foray in politics. In a way, it sounded mostly like a tale of woes. Perhaps, it was, because it all ended woefully. Still, it was a delightful experience following him through his stories. The games, intrigues and disappointments which culminated in his failure to win will make for an excellent case study in the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. Or a book.

Looking at the total picture of what eventually happened in Ogun State and indeed across various states in Nigeria, Segun Odegbami’s story is a story worthy of being documented in book for beginners in the game of politics. He himself calls it Rapid Results College of Politics so named after the now extinct Rapid Results College, Lagos, which provided educational materials for private students studying for both O (Ordinary) and A (Advanced) Levels of the GCE (General Certificate in Education) Examinations. I remember my father studied for A Levels with the assistance of Rapid Results College and I had the good fortune of inheriting his books and notes when I went to Government College Owerri for my A Levels and registered for Religious Studies and Government, two of the subjects he studied in his own era.

Lest I digress, Odegbami’s experience in the Rapid Results College of Politics is a lesson to most of us, bystanders, who may want to throw our hats (and hearts) in the political ring now or in the future.

Just so I can end this commentary without tiring you out, let me recommend for

your serious contemplation to read him, especially his latest “My Political DiaryDay 50” as well as Day 49. I had the goose pimples reading through them just like I did when I read the chilling story of how he was snookered by the Labour Partyand he had to hurriedly dash to Ikenne, in the dead of night, to the home (read tomb) of the late sage, Pa Awolowo, for consolation and inspiration.

Odegbami is a master storyteller who knows how to grab and keep his readers.

You will not regret reading from number 1 to 50 of his diaries. You will not only get a foretaste of the unforgiving, slippery, treacherous, wicked and dangerous world of Nigerian politics, you will learn useful lessons to help you avoid some of the mistakes he made. Believe you me, “My Political Diary” is a book right there.

Most importantly, I direct you to the unfortunate fact that we, Nigerians, are obviously not ready for democracy. We are not ready for change. We are not interested in the future, both our own future and the future of our children. We do not even care about now much less then. I mean tomorrow. Read Odegbami: “I have wholeheartedly devoted the last 15 years of my life trying to uplift the people and to develop the environment.

My determination, then and up till now, has been to make Wasimi Orilea great environment, the best rural community to live, work, school and invest in Ogun State, so that my people may prosper and find true happiness. The Wasimi Orile election became my ultimate litmus test.

If I was going to lose every other election, not this one.

Now, how do you explain this to anybody? Or rather, how does one justify this kind of wickedness, treachery and meanness? But then, it is what it is.

Many other politicians have been through similar experiences and many more will go through it. However, is this the way our cow will get to Umuahia? Hell no! I once read about Osita Chidoka’s gubernatorial campaign in 2017 in Anambra. A well-packaged campaign with all the attributes of excellency, brilliance and determination but devoid of raw cash, it collapsed like a pack of cards. Like Odegbami, young Chidoka couldn’t muster anything reasonable in terms of votes, even from the volunteers team that worked for him.someone said his votes were less than half the number of the volunteers meaning that the volunteers were not registered voters or they were not from Anambra State or the just didn’t vote for him or did not vote at all! Now, that’s tragic.

Thinking through Odegbami’s very emotional words, one would think again before investing in his people.

The reason reason people make social investments, we were told, is to earn the goodwill of the people and the blessings of the Great Architect of the Universe.

Let’s say the Great Architect has blessed Odegbami in many ways. Why won’t his people reciprocate his good gestures by rewarding their son with their votes?

Rather, they ditched him and pitched tents with politicians who bought their conscience with some Naira and some Kobo. It cannot be denied that the people are hungry neither can be concealed that politicians have deliberately kept them so hungry they can come whenever they like with tokens to buy their votes, their conscience, their birthrights. Sad. Shameful.

See, my dear friends, we have to change Nigeria or it will go up in smokes before our very eyes. The signs are there, telltale signs: money politics, badly or poorly managed elections, political violence, ethnic and religious intolerance cum bigotry and a disappointing tendency by the masses, the poor, the followers, to compromise on every honourable tenet and collude with their traducers to ensure that good men, good women, do not get into public service. Add to these the ballooning population due to poor or non-existent family planning culture. We have a ticking time-bomb right under our feet, ladies and gentlemen.

In closing let me say, the experiences of people like Odegbami or Chidoka or even Festus Odimegwu and Pat Utomi will not and should not deter good people from getting involved. We will not run away from a battle because of the fear of death.

We will not feed our chicken to the wolves because of noise of their cries of hunger.

As we say in Mbaise, if we storm hell in large numbers, we will use our feet to stamp out the fire. Let us go there!!!

Things are well and truly getting worse. The followership is acting no differently from the leadership-and that is extremely dangerous. I don’t feel. I don’t feel good about what happened to my brother, Segun Odegbami, but then the fall of Constantinople, for those of you who studied European history, is indeed a blessing in disguise. He who fights and runs away, they say, lives to fight another day. Bro, there’s great plenty yet to come from you. So, do NOT give up.

Congratulations for staying till the end!

I’m proud of you. Do not forget to cash in on this one-with a book. I can be your publisher or marketer.

Editorial Commentary

Saving the ‘grassroots’ from itself

Times Guest Columnist Tope Fasua

I had given INEC a pass mark after the Presidential Elections. But by the second round of elections for State Governors and Houses of Assembly, I drastically reviewed my position. However, the entire charade of an election is not an issue for INEC alone. The elections were watered by the blood of the innocent as usual. Some people said Nigeria lost more innocent souls in 2015 and 2011 than we lost in 2019 but this claim is hard to verify.

What seems more likely is that Nigerians now feel less shocked than before at the idea of people dying during elections, and indeed most people paid no mind to the general carnage around them. The gubernatorial and state assembly elections showed that we have lost a lot more of our humanity since the last general elections, that Nigerians have devalued and that more of our humanity is eroding. To corroborate my position about who we have become, I recently read a statement from the INEC Chairman wherein he said the violence in 2019 elections was somewhat alarming and unprecedented. Straight from the horse’s mouth.

I predicted quite rightly that the guber and assembly elections will be a lot dirtier for several reasons including that unlike the presidential elections where attention was focused on two major players, this time, there were many desperate governors, aspiring governors, assembly members and the ‘honorables’ who were trying to displace them, that the whole country may collapse into a free-for-all.

Also, with the presidential elections, many of the players – such as governors – worked for Buhari, who promptly threw everybody else under the bus and watched them roast. So it became a brutally selfish game; a blood sport. Guys were willing to kill, maim and destroy to get their hands on some of the action. The news and events around the second set of elections were shocking and sad, and cast a pall on the entire elections. Kano State rerun is an example. It was an out-and-out case of blatant robbery which merely amplified what the whole general election cycle stood for. Even APC stalwarts were complaining that ‘Gandollar’ pocketed the entire system and unleashed different kinds of violence. On that day the yandabas of Kano came out in full force and determined the next four years for the people. Still it will be simplistic and patently wrong to blame it all on INEC. We engaged with the grassroots. We courted them in some instances. Sometimes we believed in them.

But many people at the grassroots set out simply to dupe and to defraud. Some of them have taken that stance perhaps in furtherance of the agenda of the status quo i.e. to ensure they ruin those little guys that are just coming up so that no one will ever think of standing up to the status quo ever again. For others, they were just on the lookout to maximise their take from the elections by collecting from every and anyone, and then supporting the status quo or status quo ante (APC and PDP), which are parties that give enough space for expression to all sorts of tendencies some of which may not find accommodation in the more idealistic small parties. The big parties for example have elevated motorpark touts and local cults, but many small parties are afraid of those types of people. Yet for others, they are just so angry, so disconnected from the Nigerian project that they couldn’t care less what the outcomes are, and anyone that could be duped is fair game.

The final result of our 2019 elections showed that indeed, only a few of the NEW parties hold the hope for a sane future for this country. Without our involvement, there would have been zero debates and certainly no focus on any of the issues that matter. After all, at the federal level and in most states, the PDP and APC pointedly shunned debates and offer no clear solutions to any of our problems.

Already, the complaints have started. The grassroots in Nigeria does not care about debates and thinks nothing of ideas. The grassroots is perfectly okay with electing and reelecting those who have put them where they are, and complaining all year long till the next election cycle. The grassroots does not

mind being the grass upon which Nigeria’s elephants trample, sometimes for a small fee. As a matter of fact, the grassroots needs saving from itself and the fate that they have led this entire country into. The grassroots does not need cajoling, spending on, wooing, except if you have stolen money which you are willing to launder through the political process; invest now, collect later at an undetermined stratospheric rate of return. That will also mean you are in politics for the wrong reasons; to create a political career in Nigeria and generally join the rest of the crew in kicking the can down the road while things get worse.

Many who talk about the grassroots do not know how bad the problem is. I even made a note to ask my friends who were in confraternities in university how and why those school cults they created have now become what primary school pupils, area boys, agberos and whatnot, belong to. The grassroots of Nigeria is run by cults and warlords. This is what happens in a troubled society. For Nigeria to survive, the grassroots cannot dictate the pace or direction.

You can only offer what you have, and lead people to where you know. See the way one lady holding a camera exposed the skin-crawling travesty that is Okotie-Eboh Primary School in Sapele, Delta State?

That lady is probably social media savvy. Their types hardly vote. But those who vote don’t see anything wrong in living worse than animals, being trampled upon, degraded and devalued. We respect them.

But we cannot leave the reins of our future to the socalled grassroots. We need a new conversation and a different approach. We need to save the grassroots of Nigeria from itself, and save the future of Nigeria from the grassroots. How it shall happen, I don’t know. What I know is for as long as we depend on the grassroots such as we have, there is no hope for Nigeria.

I will close by recalling how much Plato and Socrates hated democracy, and called it ‘mob rule’. Nowhere else on earth could it be truer that democracy equates to mob rule than in Nigeria, the country with the highest levels of illiteracy and poverty in the world.

Socrates fell into conversation with a character called Adeimantus and tried to convince the latter as to the flaws of democracy by comparing a society to a ship. “If you were heading out on a journey by sea who would you ideally want deciding who was in charge of the vessel? Just anyone or people educated in the rules and demands of seafaring?”

“The latter of course”, says Adeimantus, to which Socrates responded; “So why then do we keep thinking that any old person should be fit to judge who should be a ruler of a country?” Socrates was of the view that voting in an election is a skill, not a random intuition. And like any skill, it needs to be taught systematically to people. Making people vote without that education is equivalent to leaving complete novices at the captainship of a ship in a storm. Does this not say everything about Nigeria?

Illiteracy. Deliberate. Perennial. Poverty. Highest levels in the world. Those are the key words. Of course Plato, Socrates’ mentee, did not make things comfortable. He traced a process where democracy will lead to the production of tyrants.

That said, I admit it is tough to find a better form of government. And I am not asking for the disbandment of our still ‘nascent’ democracy. I am only saying that the investment in the stability of our nation, required by democracy, should be urgently prioritized. For the good of all of us. Our grassroots need help; from poverty and want, illiteracy and hopelessness… Surely we cannot saddle these poor folks with the mathematical and futuristic equation of determining what Nigeria’s future should be.

The enlightened, the well-traveled, the exposed, the educated, the fortunate, the intellectual, the intelligent, the comfortable, the middle-class, the thinking type, will have to necessarily find a way of coming together to save the nation hurtling to its own dismemberment.

OUR POSITION Medical brain drain and matters arising

T

he reported massive brain drain in the medical sector in recent years where many medical doctors are leaving Nigeria on a daily basis for greener pastures is now a source of concern to Nigerians.

Incidentally, Nigerian doctors have been migrating to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Saudi Arabia and many other nations across the globe.

Though relevant medical agencies in Nigeria could not provide official data on emigrant doctors, statistics from General Medical Council (GMC) UK, as at July 2017 showed that over 4,765 Nigerian doctors are working in the UK. This is 1.7 per cent of the total of the UK’s medical workforce.

The Association also revealed on Monday that over 80,000 registered medical doctors in its database but, regrettably, less than 50 percent of them currently practice in Nigeria.

It also confirmed that no fewer than 12 Nigerian medical doctors leave Nigeria weekly for greener pastures in US, UK, Canada and other developed countries including African countries, due poor working conditions and other unhealthy labour practices in Nigeria.

This trend has been having negative effects on the nation’s health sector. The major factors responsible for the unhealthy development are; poor remuneration, poor facilities and working condition, and job satisfaction.

Many of our health professionals are over worked. A doctor is supposed to see a maximum of 20 patients a day but they are seeing about 150 in a day. Certainly by the time he gets to 50 patients, he is already exhausted. Even a nurse that is supposed to see about four patients has to take care of 50 patients in a ward. Certainly, he/she will get tired.

The truth is that in Nigeria, the working environment for many doctors is very hostile. Many doctors see patients that they can treat or intervene on their issues die before them because the hospitals they are working in do not have the necessary equipment to take care of them.

Also, the remuneration of doctors is very poor.

If you go to other climes, what we are paying in Nigeria is just 10 per cent of what they collect and they respect doctors. It is instructive to note that we don’t have good funding maintenance for hospitals in the country. The few doctors that we have are over worked and are not appreciated. These reasons and others might not be unconnected to the ongoing brain drain in the country.

We must know that relocation of one medical doctor from Nigeria affects over 5,000 citizens that could have benefitted from his or her medical expertise. The relocation automatically deny thousands of patients access to quality health care from a trusted medical practitioner. There are also indications that Africa loses $2 billion annually to medical tourism and medical brain drain while Nigeria contributes the larger percentage of the medical tourists.

Nigeria is using her resources to train doctors and professionals that will leave to work in foreign countries. What are those things attracting these professionals outside? Can we duplicate them here?”

We are of the opinion that government should provide adequate remuneration for our medical

doctors. Though we are not saying they should pay them so much, government should pay them for the job they are doing as and when due.

We are also of the opinion that the Federal Government should make the National Insurance Scheme (NHIS) compulsory for all citizens. We believe that the development would provide enough funds to improve the conditions of service and working environment for health professionals.

It is unfortunate that our medical doctors are leaving Nigeria because of poor conditions of service, working environment and after service package. The development indicates that the physician-patient ratio has worsened, maybe from 1:3,000 to 1:5,000. When you compare, those countries that have better physician-patient ratio have better treatment environment.

If the the doctors know they will have a house after 20 years of training, the lure to leave Nigeria would be reduced. What are the benefits attached to the job? What are the provisions for the doctor’s family? What are the long-term prospects for the staff?

We submit that government must improve the work environment in terms of financing, make it work-friendly and not crowding of 10 persons in one office. We must ensure electricity supply and avoid a situation where doctors come to work and scheduled to do a surgery but there is no electricity.

We are of the opinion that there is the need for the country to be more drastic and re-organise the funding of health service. The government must adopt a more holistic approach to halt the dangerous trend of medical brain drain.

Police arrest 10 over deadly cult clashes in Rivers The police in Rivers state has confirmed the arrest of 10 suspects in the deadly clashes by rival cult groups in Mgbudohia Community in Rumuolumeni Town in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area and Rumuche Town in Emohua Local Government Area.

Rivers State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Nnamdi Omoni who confirmed the arrest of the cult members, however said that the clashes by the rival cult gangs left three persons dead.

DSP Omoni stated that “I can confirm that of Mgbuodohia where 3 people were killed and 10 persons arrested.

Normalcy has since been restored.”

However, our correspondent reports that more than eight persons are feared dead following the clashes.

According to sources, in the wee hours of last Sunday between the hours of 3am -4am, a cult gang in Mgbudohia Community in Rumuolumeni ransacked the community going from house to house in search of rival cult members and slaughtering them.

Our source, on condition of anonymity because of security reasons, however, said that at end of their operations, eight persons were feared dead while the number of wounded was still not certain as at the time of this report.

However, chairman of the Community Development Committee (CDC), Sunny Odum reportedly appealed to fleeing residents of the community to remain calm as security operatives have taken control of the situation.

“In situations like this, people will panic. But, I’m appealing to residents to remain calm and go about their normal businesses as security agencies have been drafted to the area,” he appealed.

Nevertheless, many residents were fleeing the community when our correspondent visited the area on Monday morning for fear of reprisal attack by the rival cult group.

Similarly, on the same day, another cult group went berserk in Rumuche Town in Emohua council area of the state, killing an unspecified number of persons suspected to be members of a rival cult group.

Unconfirmed sources named Big Joe and Bright Junior as two persons killed in Rumuche.

The reasons for the deadly attacks remain sketchy as at press time.

2 Nigerians stabbed to death in S’Africa xenophobic attacks Joseph Inokotong, Abuja As xenophobic attacks targeted at Nigerians in South Africa gathers momentum, the death toll of people killed in that country has continued to rise with another two being the latest victims in ongoing attacks on foreigners.

He said “the Nigerian community lost two citizens to gruesome murders over the weekend. Mr.

Bonny Iwuoha, 48, from Ihitte/ Uboma in Imo state, was stabbed to death at about 11:45 p.m. on April 6 in Johannesburg South.

“We gathered that his assailants followed him from 152 Hay Street Turffontein, and thereafter, stabbed and killed him in front of his gate at Turf Road, Turffontein.

“The killing was witnessed by Mr. Izochukwu Nwokocha, also known as, Nwa Father.”

Ikele said the killing had been reported and a case of murder opened at Booysens Police Station in Johannesburg South.

He said that another Nigerian, Goziem Akpenyi, also lost his life in similar circumstance on April 5, 2019.

“Akpenyi was allegedly stabbed to death by three unknown coloured South African men after an argument

with the deceased. The incident took place at Bellville Stadium parking lot in Cape Town at about 1 p.m. on Friday, April 5, 2019.

“These latest killings add to four other Nigerians who were shot dead in March. Three of the victims were murdered in Sunnyside, Pretoria and one in Balfour Park, Johannesburg”.

Ikele said that NUSA was concerned over the incessant killings of Nigerians and worried that the perpetrators had not been brought to book. According to him, the arrest and prosecution of the culprits by the South African Police would put to a stop the daily killings of Nigerians.

In his appeal, he said “we call on the Nigerian government to impress on their South African counterpart that the killings have to be investigated and the culprits prosecuted.”

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ondo state have passed a vote of confidence on the state Governor, Oluwarotimi Akeredolu.

The leaders who converged on the Alagbaka’s Government House, Akure, stated that the remarkable achievements by the governor in the area of infrastructural development, industrialization as well as workers’ welfare among others is the reason for their continued support for the governor.

The APC leaders include, Senator Titus Olupitan, former Finance Commissioner, Segun Ojo, former Commissioner for Information, Prince Olu Adegboro, South West Chairman of the APC, Pastor Bankole Oluwajana Others are, member of the APC Board of Trustee (BOT), Chief Jamiu Ekungba, Senator Tayo Alasoadura, House of Representatives member, Rep. Kolawole Babatunde, Director General of the Technical Aid Corps, Dr. Pius Osunyikanmi, Pat Kelly among other notable leaders.

According to Ekungba and the APC South West chairman, Oluwajana, Akeredolu has made the next journey of the party easy. They described the governor as a sellable candidate who has touched the lives of the people of the state.

157 prison inmates embrace formal education Joseph Inokotong, Abuja The Nigerian Prisons Service (NPS) has disclosed that no fewer than 157 prison inmates across the country have embraced formal education.

Controller-General Prisons, Mr. Ja’afaru Ahmed disclosed this at the de-radicalization workshop organized for senior officers of the service on Monday in Abuja.

He said that many of the inmates who sat for the Western African Examination Council (WAEC) examination passed with impressive grades.

Ahmed was represented by Deputy Controller-General, Mrs. Husseina Kori, who is in charge of health and social welfare at the service.

The prison boss said that three of the 157 inmates were currently undergoing undergraduate admission process at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN).

The de-radicalization programme was funded by the European Union (EU).

He said that the inmates who acquired formal education were extremists, adding that the service had recorded a significant breakthrough in changing their mindset.

“It is common place to say that violent extremism poses serious threat to social cohesion and economic development of a nation.

“This programme, which started a few years ago, has successfully navigated the teething challenges usually associated with novel projects particularly when it involves rehabilitating extreme deviants,” he stated.

Buhari tasks world leaders on safe, inclusive digital world Mathew Dadiya, Dubai

President Muhammadu Buhari has called on world leaders to come up with proposals to create a digital world that is accessible, inclusive and safe for all.

Buhari made the call on Monday while delivering his keynote speech at the 2019 Annual Investment Meeting (AIM) in Dubai, United Arab Emirate. He said that a certain level of regulation was needed to preserve the integrity of the digital economy.

Acknowledging that digital globalization is transforming the world almost every day with innovations and transformative ideas, the Nigerian leader cautioned that the cyber world would remain a constant threat if left unregulated.

The President decried the use of the cyber space to manipulate elections, subvert the democratic rights of citizens as well as propagate violence and also lamented the steady rise in fake news and cybercrimes, particularly when platforms are hijacked and manipulated by criminals President Buhari therefore, called for collective efforts led by both public and private sector leaders to address the emerging threats of digital globalization, adding that ‘‘today, we have a cyberworld that is intangible but real. This borderless

world is powerful, and it impacts the lives of billions of people, no matter how remote their physical locations are. ‘‘People work in it. People socialize in it.

And people invest in it. This presents enormous opportunities. But, it also remains a constant threat if left unregulated. On the one hand, it has made the human race more productive and more efficient.

Today, we have digital banking, virtual currencies and many social platforms that connect people and cultures. ‘‘On the other hand, we have seen platforms hijacked and manipulated as evidenced by the steady rise in fake news and cybercrimes. More recently, we are also witnessing the use of the cyberspace to manipulate elections, subvert the democratic rights of citizens as well as propagate violence. ‘‘In effect, the digital world has become the new frontier for both good and evil. Therefore, the challenge for world leaders must be to ensure that this space is inclusive, accessible and safe,’’ the President told the ninth edition of AIM, attended by world leaders in both the public and private sectors.

The President used the occasion to reflect on the digital revolution in Nigeria, buoyed by impressive statistics on mobile phone penetration, technology

hubs and the advent of young entrepreneurs attracting investments of over $100 million to the country. ‘‘In Nigeria, our mobile phone penetration exceeds 80 per cent. This means the majority of Nigeria’s 190 million citizens are fully connected to this new digital world; especially our youth. ‘‘Sixty-five per cent or 170 million Nigerians are under the age of 25 years. These bright minds are the drivers of this emerging digital sector.

Today, Nigeria has close to 90 technology hubs and every day, new ones are coming up and they are all developing solutions for Nigerian and indeed global problems. ‘‘Already, these young entrepreneurs have attracted investments of over $100 million. A sizeable amount from overseas, including Silicon Valley. As many of you from this region are aware, Nigerian start-ups always have a very impressive outing at the Gulf Information Technology Exhibition (GITEX). Many have won prizes,’’ he added.

President Buhari told the investment summit that as leaders in the public and private sector it was their responsibility to create the enabling environment for young people to flourish and reach their full potential.

25 lawyers discontinue suit against Buhari following Onnoghen’s resignation Andrew Orolua, Abuja Following the resignation of the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria (CJN), Justice Walter Onnoghen last Thursday, 25 lawyers who had filed a suit challenging his suspension have approached the Federal High Court in Abuja, praying it to discontinue further hearing of the matter.

The suit had challenged what they termed as the illegal suspension of Justice Onnoghen by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The plaintiffs led by human rights activist, Mr. Johnmary Jideobi, said they decided to discontinue the suit after they got information that Justice Onnoghen had succumbed to pressure and voluntarily tendered a resignation letter to the President.

They told the court that pursuing the legal action to its logical conclusion would amount to “crying more than the bereaved,” notwithstanding the fact that the matter was earlier fixed to be heard on May 23.

The lawyers have on January 26 this year sued Buhari, the National Judicial Council (NJC), the acting Chief Justice, Justice Tanko Muhammad and the suspended Onnoghen in the suit marked FHC/ ABJ/CS/113/2019.

They had claimed in a 30-paragraph affidavit that was deposed to by the first plaintiff that President Buhari acted beyond his powers by suspending Onnoghen without recourse to the NJC. Therefore, they prayed the high court to determine “whether by the combined interpretation of Section 153 (1) (i) paragraph 21(a) of the third schedule and Sections 271, 291, 292 and 231 of the

amended 1999 Constitution and especially, in view of the Supreme Court’s decision in Elelu-Habeeb vs. AGF (2012) 13 N.W.L.R. (Pt. 1318), there exists any authority in the first defendant (Buhari) to suspend the fourth defendant (Onnoghen) as the chief justice of Nigeria?

“Whether by the combined interpretation of Section 153(1) (i) paragraph 21(a) of the third schedule and Sections 271, 291, 292 and 231 of the amended 1999 Constitution, especially in view of the Supreme Court’s decision in Elelu-Habeeb vs.

AGF (2012) 13 N.W.L.R. (Pt. 1318), the purported suspension of the fourth defendant as the chief justice by the first defendant on January 25 is not unconstitutional?”

Upon determination of the questions, the plaintiffs, asked the court to hold that Buhari lacked the constitutional powers to suspend Onnoghen.

As part of efforts to form a stronger synergy in tackling sea piracy and criminality along the Bayelsa state water ways, the state government has said it will partner with the Naval War College Nigeria, noting that maritime criminality poses threat to the state.

The government gave the assurance on Monday, when the team leader and the Commandant of the Naval War College, Nigeria, Rear Admiral Adeseye Oke Ayobanjo, accompanied by other senior officers of the college and the course 3 participants visited the state governor at Government House, Yenagoa The state Deputy Governor, Rear Admiral Gboribiogha John Jonah (rtd), while addressing the visitors, appealed for more partnership in order to increase the social development of the state, adding that the state needs more naval permanent bases in the riverine areas to curb the menace of criminality.

Clark warns Buhari against rejecting Onnoghen resignation Doosuur Iwambe, Abuja Lawyer and public commentator, Chief Robert Clarke (SAN), has warned President Muhammadu Buhari against rejecting the resignation of the suspended Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen.

Speaking on the development on national television on Monday, Clark blamed Onnoghen for his present predicament, adding that a petition by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) should have warranted Onnoghen’s resignation since February.

The senior lawyer further noted that President Buhari’s government should be given credit for taking the head of the judiciary to a tribunal, but warned that a rejection of Onnoghen’s resignation will “create

heat wave in Nigeria politics.”

He said further that “the government has knowledge of many things which you and I don’t have, so if the government decided to go and take the head of the judiciary to a tribunal, give them credit that they know what they were doing.

“What has created the situation that he (Onnoghen) has found himself today, is the petition written by the EFCC. That petition, he had a copy of it in February. As at February, the chief justice was aware of those charges levelled against him; at that stage when he got the EFCC’s petition, he should have resigned.

“The politicizing of the situation stopped Onnoghen from doing the needful at the time. Let me be honest with you, we should not allow the politics or the political climate to be overheated. I will advise Buhari

to accept the resignation because if he does not do so, he is creating another heatwave in the politics of the country.”

Daily Times recalls that the lawyer to Justice Onnoghen, Adegboyega Awomolo (SAN), disclosed that his client took the decision to resign in the interest of the judiciary.

Onnoghen’s resignation is coming four months after he was charged with non-declaration of assets that government critics said was politically motivated.

Onnoghen has since appeared before the Code of Conduct Tribunal, which rules on alleged breaches of ethics involving public officials.

The embattled judge denied the charges and this week closed his defence at the tribunal after calling one witness. Final submissions are due on April 25.

Can presiding officers be externally imposed on the National Assembly by the ruling party? (Part 1) Chief Mike Ozekhome SAN The last few days have thrown up cacophonousrocus as to how the leadership of the NASS will emerge. I was indeed shocked to see the leadership of APC boast openly that only APC (to the exclusion of other parties, especially the PDP), will produce all leaders of the 9th NASS. The APC leadershipgloats and grandstands with éclat and unusual brinkmanship that PDP will not produce the Senate president or Speaker of the House of Representatives. They boast that PDP will not produce the Deputy speaker of the House of Representatives, Leader, or Chief Whip of the bi-camera NASS.They even, in a most impolitic, tactless and brash manner, engage in extreme boasting, gasconade, braggadocio and cock-a-doodle-doo. They swagger, brag and swank that no Senator or House of Representatives member from the PDP opposition (except the APC) will have Chairmanship of any of the plum, first rate committees of either House, except the Public Accounts Committee which is usually conventionally reserved for the opposition. I am amazed at such puerity and political naivety.

I am sure the Aspirants to the Senate Presidency like Ahmed Lawan, Ali Ndume and Danjuma Goje, will be having their stomachs churning with discomfort at such a suicidal mission.

Do APC spin doctors remember history at all? Or, are they like the Bourbons of European history who learnt nothing and forgot nothing, to the extent that even after the Treaty of Versailles of 1919, the second world war still broke out between 1940 and 1945, killing millions of people; including the destruction of the twin Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki by the atomic bomb.

Have these APC political magicians read sections 50 and 92 of the 1999 Constitution, and that politics is not a game of exclusion, but one of inclusion, horsetrading, diplomatic engineering and political alignment and re-alignment.

For the avoidance of doubt, the said sections provide as follows: 1.There shall be:- (a) a President and a Deputy President of the Senate, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves; and (b) a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves.

2. The President or Deputy President of the Senate or the Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives shall vacate his office- (a) if he ceases to be a member of the senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, otherwise than by reason of a dissolution of the Senate or of the House of Representatives. (b) when the House of which he was a member first sits after any dissolution of that House;or (c) if he is removed from office by a resolution of the Senate or of the House of Representatives, as the case may be, by the votes of not less than two-third majority of the members of

Ali Ndume

that House. (Emphasis supplied).

(92) Speaker of House of Assembly 1. There shall be a Speaker and a Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves.

2.The Speaker or Deputy Speaker of the House of Assembly, shall vacate his office(a) if he ceases to be a member of House of Assembly, otherwise than by reason of a dissolution House. (b) when the House first sits after any dissolution of that House; or (c) if he is removed from office by a resolution of the Senate or of the House of Assembly, as the case may be, by the votes of not less than two-third majority of the members of the House. (Emphasis supplied).

MY 2015 INTERVENTION ON A SIMILAR SCENARIO On the 7th of May, 2015, I had written extensively on the crisis then rocking the APC and the Senate,concerning the party’s disagreement with the emergence of Dr.Bukola Saraki as the Senate president.

In the article titled “The Political rumble in the legislative jungle of the 8th National Assembly”,which was serialized in the Sunday telegraph,I had x-rayed the thorny issues. The APC does not appear to have learnt from history in its recent threats of fire and brimstone as to how it plans to externally impose the leadership of the 9th National Assembly (the party never recovered from the 2015 internal schism).

Let me now reproduce excerpts of the 2015 write up: “The clear provisions of section 54 (1) of the 1999 Constitution provides, most laconically, that,“the quorum of the Senate or the House of Representatives shall be one-third of all members of the legislative House concerned”.One-third, it says.

“Using the Senate as a case study here, there are 109 Senators……… One-third of 109 is 36.3333 Senators. To avoid dismembering a human being with a view to achieving 36.3333, and to avoid a repetition of the infamous 1979 Shagari-

Awolowo 122/3electoral brouhaha (well done, Chief Richard Akinjide, SAN, the ingenious Architect of this mathematical novelty), let us approximate one-third to be 37 Senators. The Senators that unanimously elected Saraki unopposed, were 57. They later swelled to 87 before the election of the Deputy Senate President”.

“It therefore becomes crystal clear, even to the most trenchant and traducers of Saraki, that being elected unopposed by a Senate that had 57 Senators in the chambers, was actually 20 Senators beyond the Constitutional requirement of 37 Senators to form a quorum”.

“I have read Section 50 and other Sections of the 1999 Constitution, over and over again, but I have not stumbled upon any provision that stipulates how many members of a particular party (whether ruling, or opposition), must be present before a quorum is deemed formed; or that party chieftains must first support aspirants before they emerge leaders of both Houses; or that Legislators should first wait for Party directives before carrying out the provisions of Section 50 of the 1999 Constitution, which give them powers (and the inalienable right), to elect their leaders”.

“For the avoidance of doubt, proclamation of the National Assembly is a Constitutional matter covered by the 1999 Constitution of Nigeria. It is therefore, unthinkable for the same President who had earlier proclaimed the 8th National Assembly into existence to partisanly go for a mere party meeting, which is not a national assignment. By the provision of Section 64: “(1) The Senate and the House of Representatives shall each stand dissolved at the expiration of a period of four years commencing from the date of the first sitting of the House.

(2) If the Federation is at war in which the territory of Nigeria is physically involved and the President considers that it is not practicable to hold elections, the National Assembly may by resolution

extend the period of four years mentioned in subsection (1) of this section from time to time but not beyond a period of six months at any one time.

(3) Subject to the provisions of this Constitution, the person elected as the President shall have power to issue a proclamation for the holding of the first session of the National Assembly immediately after his being sworn in, or for its dissolution as provided in this section”.

“Going by the foregoing provision of the Constitution, there is no way the President could justifiably, legally and morally elevate partisan or party issues over and above national assignment he had directly carried out under Section 64 of the Constitution.

“APC members were indeed very lucky that PDP, which had 49 Senators present and voting, did not pull a fast one on them by putting forward one of them for election as Senate President. They would have got the plum number three position in Nigeria.

Former Senate President, David Mark, had insisted he did not covet the position. If he did, he would have won hands down. The attendant uproar would have been more thunderous, having an opposition minority Senate President, with a majority ruling party Deputy! Nigeria missed an interesting piece of history”.

The above scenario would not have been unprecedented though, considering the fact that John Boehner, a Republican, representing Ohio’s 8th Congressional District, is today the Speaker of the US Congress, in a country where Barack Obama of the Democratic Party, is President. The Democrats control the Executive, while the Republicans control the Legislature. The beauty and colour of democracy”.

APC’S RE-ENACTMENT OF PAST ERRORS You see,I write for history and posterity from a non-partisan perspective. What I warned against in 2015 is about to repeat itself. If the APC is not careful, its aggrieved members will team up with the elected Senators of the main opposition party, PDP, and elect a PDP Senator as Senate president, or at worst, Deputy Senate president. If APC arrogantly insists on Ahmed Lawan and tell Ali Ndume and Danjuma Goje to go to hell, all that any of these equally powerful politicians need do is to rein in their numerous followers and add to the block vote of aggrieved PDP Senators, and bam, that person becomes Senate President. Don’t forget that as at today, the APC has 62 elected Senators, only 22 more than PDP, which has 40 Senators.

YYP has one Senator. This is excluding yet undeclared Rivers State results in which PDP will likely comfortably take the available three Senate seats. In the House, APC has 214 Members, 100 more than PDP which has 114 members, minus Rivers State. How can any sane party ignore such a formidable opposition that is in the strongest position to decide, even dictate, any matter that comes up on the floor, either of the red Chambers, or of the Senate or the green Chambers House of Representatives?

(To be concluded next week).

Africa’s economic growth, recovery will take longer - World Bank Joseph Inokotong, Abuja The World Bank on Monday reduced its growth forecast for SubSaharan Africa this year to 2.8 per cent from an initial 3.3 per cent.

It attributed the development to the commodity price slump of 2015 which cut short a decade of rapid growth for the region, and the bank said growth would take longer to recover as a decline in industrial production and a trade dispute between China and the United States take their toll.

The Bank’s 2019 forecast means economic growth will lag population growth for the fourth year in a row and it will remain stuck below 3 per cent,

which it slipped to in 2015.

In its latest report on the regional economy, the bank also cut its 2018 growth estimate to 2.3 per cent from last October’s prediction of 2.7 per cent growth for last year.

The Bank said: “The slower-thanexpected overall growth reflects ongoing global uncertainty, but increasingly comes from domestic macroeconomic instability including poorly managed debt, inflation and deficits”.

Nigeria, South Africa and Angola, which make up about 60 per cent of sub-Saharan Africa’s annual economic output, were all facing various challenges, curbing their contribution to the growth momentum, the bank

said.

It pointed out that “this downward revision reflects slower growth in Nigeria and Angola, due to challenges in the oil sector, and subdued investment growth in South Africa, due to low business confidence”.

Nigeria’s economy grew by an estimated 1.9 per cent last year, up from 0.8 per cent the previous year, the World Bank said, reflecting a modest pick-up in the non-oil sector.

South Africa came out of recession in the third quarter of last year but investors were still cautious due to policy uncertainty, the bank said.

Meanwhile, Angola, the region’s third-biggest economy, remained stuck in recession, as oil production

remained weak.

High inflation and heavy debt loads discouraged investors in economies like Zambia and Liberia, hitting their growth prospects, the World Bank said.

Economies that do not depend on commodities like Rwanda, Uganda, Kenya, Benin and Ivory Coast, continued to grow strongly, the bank said in the report.

The Chief Economist for Africa at the Bank, Albert Zeufack, said the region could boost annual growth by about nearly two percentage points if it harnesses information technology more effectively.

He said “This is a game-changer for Africa.”

Conoil, Capital Oil others face NSE hammer over late results filing Temitope Adebayo Some oil companies including, Conoil Plc, Capital Oil plc, insurance companies, Microfinance banks, among others risk heavy sanction by the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) for late filing of their financial year ended December 31, 2018 result and accounts.

Other companies expected to face NSE sanction include AIICO Insurance plc, Law Union And Rock Insurance Plc, R.T Briscoe (Nigeria) Plc, Veritas Kapital Assurance Plc, Union Homes Savings & Loans Plc, Fortis Microfinance Bank Plc, Aso Savings & Loans

Plc and International Energy Insurance Plc. Findings have shown that the above companies did not officially write to the management of the Exchange explaining the reason behind their late filing of accounts to the general public.

But while responding to an enquiry, the Managing Director, AIICO, Mr Edwin Egbiti explained that his company had submitted to the National Insurance Commission (NAICOM) before NSE deadline.

According to him, “Before NSE deadline, we were expecting feedback from NAICOM. Commission had raised issues concerning the results and it is been addressed by our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in Abuja. We

have responded to the query and expecting the outcome.”

Further checks, however, revealed that the insurance company did not submit a notice of the delayed filing of 2018 accounts as expected by the listed company.

Shareholders of the above companies, most especially, Conoil and Veritas Kapital Assurance have questioned the management yearly non-compliance to post listing rule that mandated promote filing of results.

million and N800 million for late filing of the first quarter and half year results of 2018 respectively.

Meanwhile, about 37 per cent or 52 companies out of 140 companies have not submitted 2018 financial year ended December 31, 2018, to the Exchange.

According to NSE X-compliance report, companies listed on Schedule 3 as companies that fell short of the minimum listing standards in terms of timely disclosure of their audited annual financial statements and have Missed Regulatory Fillings (MRF) or are Awaiting Regulatory Approval (AWR) from their primary regulators.

FG will create environment for productive investment in infrastructure - Osinbajo Esther Taiwo The Vice President of Nigeria, Prof Yemi Osinbajo says the Federal Government remains committed to creating an environment for productive investment in hard and soft infrastructures.

Osinbajo says the economic recovery plan of the Federal Government will in the coming years among other critical interventions improve Soft infrastructure which covers the whole gamut of the regulatory environment for business while hard infrastructure focuses on economically strategic roads, rail, power and ports across the country.

The vice president disclosed this at the 50th convocation lecture of the University of Lagos Monday said Industrial Infrastructure is a major component of the government economic transformation plan, adding that Project

MINE Made in Nigeria for Export is the major plank of Buhari’s government industrial policy.

In his Lecture titled ‘Nigeria rising: The path to prosperity’, he opines that in planning the path to prosperity, the Federal government under the leadership of president Muhammadu Buhari took into account the age-old weaknesses of the Nigerian economy and the illusion of prosperity that frequently distorts our understanding of the actual fragility of our economy.

He observed that a combination of theft of public revenues and the consequent failure to invest in infrastructure, as well as a, largely rent-seeking business class, is what accounts for Nigeria’s economic quagmire.

He, however, pointed out that the future for job creation and efficient and profitable businesses lies in innovation and technology, adding that the Federal Government have partnered with local and international tech companies and

innovators, in the building of tech hubs, and promoting innovation.

“Our aim is to completely democratise access to innovation and cyber commerce and create jobs”, he said.

On the technology agenda of government, the vice president said plans are on to focus a new educational curriculum which emphasises STEAM. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics.

According to him, “Through the implementation of the Green Imperative, 5 million people will be impacted, 100,000 technical personnel will be trained, and 4,848 tractors will be assembled each year, resulting in the ultimate injection of $12 Billion into the local economy over 10 years.

“We are currently developing that curriculum with the support of global players like MIT, Cisco, IBM and Oracle, a nationwide curriculum that incorporates 21st century STEAM thinking: coding, design skills, digital arts, robotics,

machine learning, and so on”.

“The curriculum will cover primary to secondary education. The Arts component of that vision is extremely important to us. Visual arts, dance, music, film and theatre, comedy, literature these and many more are fields in which Nigeria is has proved to the world that it is full of talent and originality and ambition.

“At the highest levels of the government in Abuja, we are creating opportunities to engage with artists to better understand how we can, as a government, support you to succeed”, he said.

He further said technology entertainment and the arts require active support, especially in the development of policies as we engage uncharted territory in the coming years.

“Consequently the President directed that we establish a technology and creativity advisory group, to work on and formulate policies in these very dynamic spaces.”

AfDB wants MDBs to focus on donor relations, fund management Mathew Dadiya The African Development Bank Group (AfDB) hosted 11 sister institutions for the annual multilateral development bank (MDB) roundtable on trust funds and co-financing, held in March.

The aim of the roundtable was to enhance benchmarking across the development finance institutions (DFIs), raise awareness of emerging innovative approaches to resource mobilisation and of new tools for cooperation, and to share institutional knowledge and best practices.

The World Bank’s director for trust funds and partner relations, Dirk Reinermann, on Monday, led a dedicated session on the growing business of financial intermediary funds (FIFs) at the AfDB, 25 of which the World Bank is currently a trustee.

The African Development Bank team provided a number of case studies during a session on de-risking tools to crowd in private sector investments in lowincome countries, highlighting the work of the private sector credit enhancement facility (PSF) as well as its balance sheet optimisation work, which has helped to release headroom for further investment in fragile states.

Overall, the discussions raised the notion of ‘less is more’ given the increasing “bilateralization of multilateralism”, as one participant put it. Most MDBs prefer to scale up existing funds rather than proliferate the number of vehicles, although this remains a challenge. Ultimately, there was a consensus that the roundtable was a useful platform for working on common principles for donor communication, reporting and trust fund administration.

According to AfDB, the goal was

to share the most efficient methods for mobilising resources towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This year’s roundtable took stock of ongoing institutional reforms to the trust fund and co-financing environment in each MDB. Delegates noted the increased decentralisation of partnership and donor relation functions and outlined solutions to some of the challenges that such changes can bring.

The group also discussed the role of developing countries in the establishment and management of the trust funds and best practices in donor reporting. Roundtable sessions also considered blended finance and lessons learned in implementing European Commission (EC) funded projects, given the EC’s increasing influence on concessional resource flows, despite not being represented on the boards of most

MDBs. Co-chair of the event, Desire Vencatachellum, director of the resource mobilisation and partnerships department at the African Development Bank, said, “We must all deliver on our individual mandates while addressing complex global development issues, partnerships and alliances. This was a great opportunity for peer-to-peer exchanges of ideas and sharing best practices to address the common challenges we all seem to be facing.”

Akhil Patel of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development noted, “There’s real scope to take joint positions on certain themes and present more of a unified front in a number of areas, in addition to sharing ideas and solutions.”

The African Development Bank previously hosted the MDB roundtable in 2008 and 2012.

Fidelity Bank seeks greater Board participation in Cybersecurity Ladesope Ladelokun Against the backdrop of high-profile and sophisticated online attacks on large commercial banks, Directors of listed and private companies in the country have been advised to take active roles in their respective organisation’s cybersecurity framework and operations.

The Chairman, Board of Directors of Fidelity Bank Plc, Ernest Ebi, gave the counsel at the 2019 Bank Directors’ Association of Nigeria (BDAN) Conference on Cybersecurity held in Lagos recently.

Whilst stating that organisations have become completely dependent on cyber networks to run their processes, Ebi pointed out that Boards need to understand and approach cybersecurity from enterprisewide risk perspectives rather than Information Technology (IT). He said rapidly evolving data breaches and attacks have caused significant financial and reputational damage to many organisations. “The Board should develop expertise on cyber risk.

Cybersecurity must be a constant on the Board’s agenda”, he said.

President, Governing Council of BDAN, Osaretin Demuren recognised the importance of information sharing in tackling the growing menace of cybercrime.

Demuren noted that sharing of relevant information amongst stakeholders in the financial services industry would help demystify the activities of hackers and cybercriminals. This, she added will make them less effective in perpetuating their nefarious deeds. “Cybersecurity is one of the top risks that is being faced not just in the financial sector, but in all sectors of the economy.

Tegbe, in his keynote address, said the Boards should be held responsible and accountable for cyber breaches.

“Managing cyber risk should be a Board priority. Boards must develop the requisite capacity to ask the right questions from Management”, he explained. He also advised organisations to conduct cybersecurity assessment to help reduce risk, minimize breach impact, and protect against future attacks. “Building cybersecurity capabilities for banks must be strategic. We must be proactive and not reactive”, he added.

The Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, has expressed disappointment on the progress of work done so far by the China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) at the ongoing construction of Lagos-Ibadan Standard Gauge rail line.

The Minister, while inspecting project on Monday blamed the CCECC for the slow pace of work and chided the contractor for slowing down work and track-laying from Distance Kilometre (DK) 121 to 157 of the Lagos-Ibadan rail line project.

According to him, the Federal Government plans to commence transportation of cargoes from the seaports through the standard rail gauge by December.

“Since you came to this segment of the project, you have not done anything here.

“To those of you who are here with me on this inspection, did you see any work going on? There is no work at all.

“From Kilometre 121 to 157, there is no work at all; and you have no reason whatsoever not to have worked because we do not owe you.

Buhari may not be an orator, but he is a doer, says Osinbajo Esther Taiwo Nigerian Vice President, Prof Yemi Osinbajo has asked Nigerians to see themselves as fortunate to elect President Muhammadu Buhari for the second term in office because according to him, the President is not an orator but a doer.

The Vice President said this while delivering the lecture titled Nigeria rising: The path to prosperity’ to mark the 50th convocation of the university of Lagos.

While giving the scorecard of President Muhammadu Buhari in the last administration, the Vice President said he restored medium term planning with the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan which served as a useful lodestone in improving macroeconomic performance, boosting the real sector of the economy and building infrastructure.

According to him, the decline in growth which started at the end of 2014 has been reversed, inflation has stabilised at about 11% over the past six months and the current account was in surplus at about 1.3% of GDP last year.

“Our foreign reserves can cover at least 9 months of import of goods and services and despite understandable concerns, our debt burden is only about 22% of the size of Osinbajo our economy which is one of the lowest ratios in the world.

“We have very clear objectives, clear plans.

Kano guber: Ganduje accuses Police Commissioner, Wakili of helping PDP rig election The Kano State governor, Abdullahi Ganduje has accused the state Police Commissioner of Police, Muhammad Wakili assisting the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), to rig the March 9 governorship election in the state.

This is even as the Peoples Progressive Party has asked the election petitions tribunals in Kano State to nullify the governorship elections held in the state and order fresh elections.

Ganduje claimed that Wakili gave the opposition protection while they rigged during the justconcluded governorship election in the state.

Speaking with another newspaper, the governor condemned the Commissioner of Police for arresting his deputy during the election period.

According to him, “He was giving them protection. He had no right to arrest a deputy governor.

In fact, we could have taken him to the court for doing that because he went against the constitution, particularly because the deputy governor has immunity.

“Our supporters were sighted in that particular collation centre, so the deputy governor went to tell them that they should leave the place, not knowing that the commissioner of police had already dispersed them. And he allowed the opponents to come in.

“So, when the deputy governor went in, instead of him to see our supporters he fell in the hands of the opposition. So he was biased. A member of the House of Reps was also arrested. Two elected local government chairmen were arrested and taken to the police station. And we did not hear that any important person from the PDP was arrested. Is it not a bias?” He asked.

cancellation of the election, the PPP which also asked for the cancellation of the Rivers State election, hinged its demand on the unlawful exclusion of its governorship candidates in the two states by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

Mr. Clifford Edanuko was the party’s governorship candidate in Rivers State, while Hadiza Saba was its candidate in Kano State.

The party’s National Legal Adviser, Chibuzor Ezike, in a statement on Monday said his party seeks the nullification of the elections that produced Nyesom Wike in Rivers and Abdullahi Ganduje in Kano.

Ezike said the “unlawful exclusion” of the party’s governorship candidates

by INEC was in violation of subsisting court judgment.

He said, “The PPP, after the nomination of its governorship candidates for the March 9 election, was not allowed to submit the names of its validly nominated candidates.

“This made the party to drag INEC to court before the election. The court delivered final judgment, days before the scheduled election, and ordered INEC to include the party’s candidates to prevent exclusion.

“The judgment was served on INEC before the March 9 election, but surprisingly, INEC went ahead in disobedience of the valid judgment and conducted the election in Kano and Rivers states to the exclusion of the PPP candidates.

“That action put the elections in those two states in legal jeopardy, with the possibility of nullification of the elections in Rivers and Kano states to pave the way for fresh governorship elections, a situation that could have been prevented,” he said.

Canada beat Super Falcons 2-1 in friendly game in Spain Few days after World Cup bound Super Falcons walloped their Icelandic counterparts 6-1 in a friendly match in Spain, the Thomas Dennerby tutored side failed to continue the run losing 2-1 to Canada at the Pinatar Arena on Monday.

Interestingly Super Falcons shot into the lead in the encounter thanks to Desire Oparanozie who found the net after enjoying a timely assist from Uchenna Kanu in the 26th minute. Oparanozie’s goal was beautiful to watch as she calmly displaced the goalkeeper Erin McLeod

before placing the ball neatly in the right hand corner.

The falcons only managed to maintain the lead for 45 minutes before Janine Beckie levelled up for Canada in the 46th minute.

Sophie Schmidt increased the tally for Canada in the 54th minute and the Canadians held tenaciously to their lead to the final whistle.

Match Statistics indicate that the Canadians had a better outing maintaining 66.8% to 33.2% posted by the Falcons. They had nine shots on target to Falcons four, and perhaps would have increased

Naomi Osaka maintains lead over Halep in WTA rankings Japan’s Naomi Osaka maintained a slender lead over Romanian Simona Halep at the top of the WTA rankings released on Monday.

Osaka now sits 185 points ahead of Halep, with Czech pair Petra Kvitova and Karolina Pliskova in third and fourth.

American Madison Keys, winner of the WTA event in Charleston last week, jumped four spots to 14th.

WTA rankings as of April 8 1. Naomi Osaka (JPN) 5,967 pts 2. Simona Halep (ROM) 5,782 3. Petra Kvitova (CZE) 5,645 4. Karolina Pliskova (CZE) 5,580 5. Angelique Kerber (GER) 5,220 6.

More than 200 golfers expected at Ibadan Golf Club for ex-captain’s tourney No fewer than 200 golfers from across Nigeria are expected at the one-day golf tourney in honour of Olumide Oyediran, the immediate-past Captain of Ibadan Golf Club (IGC).

Oyediran, who disclosed this at a news conference in Ibadan on Monday, said the tournament scheduled for Saturday was organised to mark his stewardship as captain of the club.

It will be recalled that Oyediran had in March handed over the mantle of leadership to Ade Sunmonu, a retired Colonel.

Players expected to participate at the tournament are from clubs such as the Sagamu Golf Club, MicCom and Country Golf Club at Ada in Osun and Tiger Golf Club.

Others are from Ogbomoso Golf Club, Ekiti Golf Club, Ikeja Golf Club, Ikoyi Golf Club and Abeokuta Golf Club.

“At least we will have more than 200 golfers from across the country

for the tournament. This is because golf is now gaining momentum due to publicity and television rights.

“Having served as IGC Captain, the experience is quite encouraging in the sense that it afforded me the opportunity to put the things I have learnt over time to use.

“I have learnt a lot from networking through committee meetings, budget sessions and Annual General Meetings (AGMs).

The experience is fantastic,’’ Oyediran said.

He said adequate logistics had been put in place to make the event a memorable one.

The former club captain said the tournament was scheduled to begin with the Caddies and Staff kitty on Wednesday.

He disclosed that guests for the tournament would arrive on Friday, ahead of a cocktail party at the club later in the evening.

goal tally but for a number of impressive saves made by Falcons goalkeeper Tochukwu Oluehi. Coach Dennerby made five changes in the course of the encounter bring in Rasheedat Ajibade, Iniabasi Umotong, Ogonna Chukwudi, Alice Ogebe and Chinaza Uchendu for Ngozi Akobi, Uchenna Kanu, Halimatu Ayinde, Anam Imo and Desire Oparanozie respectively.

Falcons have played no fewer than a dozen matches since winning their 9th African Women’s Nations Cup in Ghana as part of preparation for the World Cup less than two months in France.

Christian Chukwu’s undergoes successful operation in Enugu Contrary to reports flying around that former Super Eagles coach Chirstian Chukwu is in a sorry state and desperate requires about $50,000 dollars for immediate operation in the United States, an online medium reports that this is not true.

On the contrary the former Harambee stars of Kenya coach has been successfully operated on the leg in Enugu and is currently recuperating and resting in an undisclosed hotel in the Coal City.

It was further gathered that it was based on doctor’s advice that the Rangers Technical Adviser was asked to stay in a hotel instead of going home after the successful operation to avoid constant disturbance from many who will be tempted to go and visit him.

Initial reports making the rounds gave the impression that the former Green Eagles captain is in dare need of funds, a scenario which is far from the truth as it was gathered that the Chukwu is entitled to a monthly take home of N700, 000 as Technical Adviser of Rangers

international, a club which he did not only play for but also coached in the course of his soccer career.

Chukwu captained the Super Eagles to their first Africa Cup of Nations title in 1980 and was national team coach between 2002 and 2005. Apart from winning the Nations cup in 1980 he also contributed to Nigeria’s second Nations Cup title in 1994 this time as assisted to Dutchman Clemens Westerhof.
