Too bad for a country with a largest number of people as christians.

Scores of civilians and Boko Haram insurgents were reportedly killed yesterday during different attacks in Borno and Yobe states.

Witnesses said the first attack was an ambush on firewood mongers in villages around Mafa, the first local government area outskirts of Maiduguri along Dikwa- Gamboru-Ngala-Cameroon Republic road.

The second attack was reportedly launched at villages around Kanamma in northern fringes of Yobe State, the first place where Boko Haram, then known as Nigerian Taliban, settled around 2002.

The third siege was along Maiduguri- Damboa road in southern part of Borno.

Different sources said dozens of people were allegedly killed but this could not be independently verified.

In the attack in Mafa, sources said no fewer than 50 people were killed.

A vigilante Umara Modu said many Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Muna camp in the outskirts of Maiduguri, as well as others from the surrounding villages, including Maiwa near Mafa LGA, were killed around 2.30 pm Saturday.

“Different Boko Haram gangs ambushed different locations. More than 50 people, mostly those chopping firewood which they normally sell to support their families, were killed,” he said.

“They carted away many trucks belonging to the firewood mongers and set ablaze the rickety ones,” he added.

Usman Jidda, a driver who lives near Muna garage in Maiduguri corroborated. “It was a targeted attack by the terrorists... Based on the information I got, they killed more than 40 people in the bushes,” he said.

It was also gathered that the insurgents attacked Kanamma villages around 5:45pm yesterday, but many of them met their waterloo as they were killed by an Air Force fighter jet which mobilized to the site after a distress call.

“The BH fighters did not succeed in Kanamma, they were repelled,” said Musa Mohammed, a resident of Geidam, which is not far from Kanamma.

“The terrorists actually attacked Kam village near Kanamma where they sometime ago forcefully recruited many youths. I think they went back to either recruit others but were not successful.

“The village is at a border between Nigeria and Niger, and it is the Musab Albarnawi faction of the sect that is terrorising people there

“It is pleasing that Air Force mobilized immediately. Many of the terrorists were killed by the fighter jet while fleeing in the desert,” he said.

A resident in the town, Musaah Baakura, revealed that prior to the Kanamma attack villagers called and warned their relatives of the possibility.

“They said that the insurgents had assembled in a bush, with weapons, trying to hit a target. Many people fled for their lives, some traveled out, some to neighbouring villages while others remained indoors,” he said.

In yet another attack, the insurgents reportedly laid ambush on vehicles conveying people and foodstuff along Maiduguri- Damboa road.

“Those ones were desperately looking for food and they succeeded in getting plenty,” a security source, who does not want to be quoted, said.

In less than two months after the November 18, 2017 governorship election in Anambra State, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has again been faced with fresh a challenge of conducting yet another major election in the state - the Anambra Central Senatorial district re-run.

Before the January 13, 2018 date was chosen by the commission, following the Court of Appeal judgement that nullified the results of March 2015 election, expectations have been high from various stakeholders, particularly the people of senatorial district who had remained unrepresented at the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

Political observers have thought that following the February 10, 2017 ruling of the Supreme Court on the issue, coupled with the February 13, 2009 verdict of the same Supreme Court, the new candidates will not be allowed in a court ordered fresh election and that the INEC would immediately put necessary machinery in motion to conduct the long-awaited Anambra Central re-run poll.

But the electoral body has continued to exercise caution. This approach from the INEC, according to some pundits, is seen as a failure to take a firm decision even when the law appears to be fully on its side to hold the rerun poll, regardless of the pending court cases some politicians in Anambra Central are trying to use to frustrate the conduct of the election.

The major contenders in the race- Senator Uche Ekwunife, Chief Victor Umeh and the Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige - have continued to flex muscle at the expense of the people of the constituency, who as it were, are the greatest losers in the debacle.

While Ekwunife, who declared winner of the 2015 Anambra Central Senatorial election, was sworn in with other Senators same year. She was later removed, following the nullification of the election by the Court of Appeal in Enugu. Ngige was alleged to have vowed that nobody would assume that office by insisting that the election would not hold until all pending court cases are disposed of.

Umeh, the leading candidate for the re-run contest and former National Chairman of All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), in a sharp response to Ngige, picked holes in the argument, warning him not to intimidate the INEC in the discharge of its constitutional mandate.

“I was surprised to read those audacious statements by Dr Ngige. My surprise stems from the fact that I could not fathom under what capacity Ngige was saying categorically that the poll can never take place until all court cases are cleared.

“From the question you asked me, he is the Minister of Labour and Employment, he does not work for the INEC that is empowered by the constitution to conduct elections,”he said.

He also said that none of the cases the Labour Minister was referring to in his assertion could stand as legal impediment against the conduct of the re-run.

“The issue of the eligible candidates who can take part in a court ordered fresh election or rerun election has been permanently settled by the Supreme Court of Nigeria in its judgement in a case between Labour Party and INEC, which judgment was delivered on the 13th February 2009.

“He should desist from intimidating the INEC in the discharge of its constitutional mandate. The era of intimidation by ruling parties in Nigeria should be over in line with President Muhammadu Buhari’s promise of change.

“We experienced these things during the PDP days, but now that we are in a government that has preached change, nobody should use his membership of the ruling party or any arm of government to intimidate and dictate to the INEC. That is what Ngige has demonstrated and he has said it everywhere.”

Umeh, then, challenged the Labour Minister to resign his appointment and join the senatorial rerun contest.

He asked the minister who was the validly nominated candidate on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2015 National Assembly election to join the race.

Umeh, who decried the alleged activities of certain politicians to shut out the people of the zone from having a senator in the National Assembly, urged the INEC to ignore the antics and conduct fresh election in consonant with the November 20 Court of Appeal judgment.

Enumerating the lost incurred due to the absence of a representative for the district for over two years, Umeh warned against further delay in the conduct of the election.

“INEC should ignore further decoy by some people who are bent on ensuring the people of Anambra are denied the opportunity of having a representative on the floor of the National Assembly till the end of the eight senate of the National Assembly,” he said.

Underscoring the efforts so far made to ensure the zone has a representative at the National Assembly, Umeh said he had been vindicated by the November 20 judgment that excluded PDP from participating and other previous rulings that insisted that status quo of the 2015 general elections should be maintained.

He expressed optimism that the INEC would heed to the latest appeal court judgment mandating her to conduct the election, stressing that “the people of the zone had waited for too long without a senator and would be of great interest if the fresh date of January 13 is penciled down for the election proper.”

As the battle rages, various groups and individuals have continued to appeal to the INEC to take urgent steps towards ensuring the conduct of the rerun election in the interest of the citizens of the senatorial zone.

Prominent among them are members of the constituency, who are the direct losers of the on-going muscle flexing. They have continued to lament over the absence of the representative of the constituency in the National Assembly.

They have also severally appealed to the power brokers to sheathe their swords and allow peace to reign for the benefit of everybody.

A candidate for the rerun poll, on the platform of the Advanced Congress of Democrats (ACD), Oby Kate Okafor, had called on the INEC to do the needful by conducting the long delayed election.

Okafor had given the electoral body an ultimatum of two months (from April), after which according to her, she might be compelled to sue the commission for unnecessarily delaying the conduct of the election.

A civil rights activist, Comrade Obi Ochije, noted that Anambra Central had incurred a colossal loss due to two years of no representation at the upper chamber of the National Assembly.

Another constituent, Chief Chidozie Ezeugwa, called on politicians involved in supremacy battle to sheathe their swords in the interest of peace and progress of the zone.

A Professor of Political Science, Frank Collins Okafor, also lent his voice in appealing to the INEC to go ahead with the election.

Meanwhile, Chief Obiora Okonkwo, the acclaimed winner of the Senatorial District election on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) had asked the electoral umpire to issue the certificate of return to him, following the Abuja court ruling which ordered that he be sworn in as senator to replace Ekwunife, the former candidate of the PDP, who was sacked by the Court of Appeal for improper nomination.

Justice John Tsoho of the Abuja High Court ruled that Okonkwo was the validly nominated candidate of the party in the 2015 general elections and should be sworn in as the senator representing Anambra Central Senatorial district immediately.

Okonkwo, who had already forwarded the court judgement with the certified copy to the commission, through his lawyers, expressed hope that the commission would “allow reason to prevail.”

The letter titled, ‘Re-request to issue certificate of return to Dr. Okonkwo Obiora in compliance with judgement of the Federal High Court in suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/1092/2014’ was signed by Chief Sebastine Hon.

Okonkwo had in 2014 instituted a court action against the PDP, its then National Chairman, Adamu Muazu, INEC and Mrs. Uche Ekwenife, challenging the nomination of Ekwenife as PDP’s candidate of the party for the 2015 National Assembly election.

Unfortunately, the conflicting judgements on the matter, is said to be tearing the leadership of the INEC apart as the electoral umpire is contemplating whether or not to implement the court ruling.

The commission, through its chief Press Secretary, Rotimi Oyekanmi, had however, dismissed the speculation about the lingering crisis splitting the commission. Oyekanmi said that the commission had applied for certified copy of the ruling.

As all eyes focus on the INEC, pundits say that the electoral body must be decisive as the people of the senatorial district deserve to have a voice in the highest legislative body of the country.

The Women Advocates Research and Documentation Center (WARDC) has decried the high rate of maternal mortality rate in Nigeria, saying the situation in country has remained the same since 2008.

Founding Director of WARDC, Dr. Abiola Akiyode-Afolabi disclosed that there are 814 deaths for every 100,000 live births, according to a World Health Organization (WHO) figure.

According to her, the figure has hardly changed since 2008 when Nigeria recorded 829 deaths for 100,000 live births.

She stated this while presenting the report on assessment of efforts of government on reduction of maternal mortality and promotion of women’s maternal health in Nigeria.

The finding which focused on Lagos and Kaduna states was conducted by WARDC and Center for Reproductive Rights (CRR) with the support of MacArthur Foundation.

She said access to maternal health facilities is still very poor even as the cases of detention of women who just give birth on account of not being able to pay medical bills remains high.

“This is approximately 58,000 maternal deaths annually, indicating that approximately 159 women die everyday due to pregnancy related complications," Akiyode-Afolabi said.

She noted that a World Health Organization (WHO) report had in 2015 identified Nigeria as having the world’s fourth-highest maternal mortality rate, lamenting that the situation has remained virtually the same.

She called for reduction of unwanted and unplanned pregnancies among adolescents by addressing barriers to reproductive health services and ensuring that all adolescents in Nigeria receive comprehensive and scientifically accurate sexual and reproductive health education.

hmmm

Chai...sai baba sef.

chai! making promises is easier more than fulfill it.

Good

Good one.

With a lot of high drama expected next year, we give to you a look ahead, forecasting some of the biggest political battles which will be fought in 2018.


No doubt, 2018 will witness a renewed intensity of political activities since the year precedes the election year. Already, the announcement of the dates for the 2019 general elections by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has given a shot in the arm of political events, prompting events and secret meetings and others. While these are only some of the biggest battles to be fought, the Nigerian political landscape has a knack for serving up brand-new drama and intrigues. Here, we give to you - in no particular order - the major events that will dominate in the year 2018.

Mad rush for presidential tickets

One of the biggest political battles of 2018 will be the aggressive race to secure the presidential tickets of various political parties. The race will be more intense in the two ‘biggest’ political parties, the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In the PDP, the atmosphere is already charged as the battle for presidential ticket has already kicked off. Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti State had, at Chelsea Hotel, in Abuja, publicly declared to run for the coveted office.

Former governors Ibrahim Shekarau and Sule Lamido of Kano and Jigawa States, have also indicated interest to run, as former vice president Atiku Abubakar has also returned to the party with emerging indications that he would seek the ticket.

Others likely to throw their hats into the ring are former governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi, former Senate President David Mark and former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa.

The emergence of Prince Uche Secondus as PDP national chairman has changed the equation as some analysts say Atiku’s chances are now shaky.

In the ruling APC, most party leaders have considered President Muhammadu Buhari the only who could win for the party if given the ticket. But Mr President is yet to declare for a second term, despite his body language that has indicated he will.

Daily Trust gathered that in the event Buhari declines, former governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Governor Aminu Waziri Tambuwal of Sokoto State, Governor Nasir El-Rufai of Kaduna State, Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State and Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, will likely contest for the ticket.

If - or when - Buhari emerges

Judging from the political history of Nigeria, President Buhari will be adopted as the sole candidate of the ruling APC not minding the talks that the party would subject all presidential aspirants to primary election. Alhaji Shehu Shagari of the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN) got the second-term in 1983 through the adoption process. In 2011 and 2015, former President Goodluck Jonathan also got the PDP ticket despite what seemed to be a fierce contest with former Vice President Atiku Abubakar in 2011.

Already, the APC governors have been canvassing for sole candidacy for Buhari. Surely, he will be given the opportunity of first refusal.

Presidential campaigns will begin

Subtle presidential campaigns expected to focus on the nation’s key sectors and the general well-being of Nigerians in relation to achievements recorded by the present government and that of the PDP’s 16-year old reign will start in 2018. Political pundits say issues of security, anti-graft war, human rights and economy are likely to dominate campaigns with the two parties throwing all sorts at each other.

While other political parties are also expected to field presidential candidates as well, it is clear that 2019 will be a straight battle between the APC and the PDP, considering that ‘small parties’ have failed to make significant impact at general elections over the years.

Oyegun’s exit

The tenure of the APC National Working Committee (NWC) ends in June 2018. Under the current situation, the APC may have to organize one convention by May 2018 since the possibility of holding two separate conventions, non-elective and elective, may not be feasible because of cost.

The non-elective convention which the party ought to have organized every two years may no longer be realizable since the compulsory elective one which holds every four years must be held by May next year.

The ruling party must, as a matter of urgency, fast-track all activities towards conducting its much-anticipated convention which cannot be held any time later than June 13, 2018, the day the tenure of the current NWC members will expire. However, if the party leaders decide otherwise, the party may still organize two conventions. The implication of this is that the APC will hold a non-elective convention to endorse the amendment to the party’s constitution in the first quarter of 2018, while the elective one, which will produce successors to Chief John Odigie-Oyegun-led NWC, will be organized in the second quarter.

Hence, the ruling party is expected to witness fresh and aggressive campaigns for the soon-to-be-vacant positions in the NWC in 2018. No doubt, the name of Governor Adams Oshiomhole may come up again as the possible successor to the APC national chairman, Chief Odigie-Oyegun. This will certainly be a battle.

APC’s house-fixing

Another major battle is the ruling APC’s efforts at trying to reconcile with aggrieved members in 2018. Some members of the coalition that merged to form the party are still aggrieved over the treatment they have been receiving in the party, particularly the then nPDP which believes that his people have not been treated fairly. Already, the party has set up various reconciliation committees to address the internal strife. The fence-mending efforts will intensify in 2018.



Engr. Segun Oni, the APC Deputy National Chairman, in an exclusive interview with Daily Trust, said that the differences in the party would be addressed. “In some cases, we have obtained reports (of reconciliation committees) and we will work on them,” Oni said. And work it will be indeed.

PDP’s house-cleaning

The PDP has a herculean task of clearing its house by way of getting rid of all tendencies capable of jeopardising its chances in 2019, and those are legion. Most party leaders have identified imposition of candidates, impunity, disrespect for the party’s constitution, hate speech, jettisoning of the zoning formula and lack of cohesion as factors that led to the party’s humiliating defeat at the 2015 general polls.

Freshly-minted PDP National Chairman, Prince Secondus, however, assured former national chairmen and Board of Trustees (BoT) members at Wadata Plaza that his tenure will not tolerate imposition and impunity.

However, a chieftain of the party from the north, told Daily Trust that governors are still the problem of the party, because they are the ones funding it. “So, stopping impunity is difficult, and they always insist on having their way,” he said.

Observers say nipping in the bud the new PDP faction which has named itself ‘Fresh PDP’, threatening to put in place a parallel NWC in early January, 2018. The party would have to address this. The party, pundits say, must work to ensure there are no factions.

In addition, the likes of Prof. Taoheed Adedoja and Chief Pegba Otemolu, who are challenging the outcome of the convention at various courts, must be appeased. The Governor Seriake Dickson-led Reconciliation Committee is also working to reconcile all aggrieved aspirants.

Final term governors’ desperate rush for Senate

Five second-term governors, including Kashim Shettima of Borno State and Abdulaziz Yari of Zamfara State are said to be eyeing the Senate in the forthcoming 2019 general elections. The Senate has become a sort of ‘retirement home’ for governors on expiration of their second tenures. The tradition was entrenched in 2007 when second term governors practically bulldozed their ways there.

At the moment, 14 former governors, namely Bukola Saraki, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, Aliyu Wamakko, Godswill Akpabio, Danjuma Goje, Abdullahi Adamu, Adamu Aliero, Joshua Dariye, Jonah Jang, Sam Egwu, Theodore Orji, George Akume, Ahmad Sani Yarima and Bukar Abba Ibrahim are at the Senate.

The seats of some of the former governors in the Senate are being threatened by the ambitions of their successors, creating bad blood. But Daily Trust has observed the body language of the second term governors, which suggest they are all out to retire to the Senate come 2019.

The tenure of Governor Shettima, like all other second-term governors, elapses by May 29, 2019. Reports kept filtering round in the state on his intention to vie for the senatorial election. However, it is unclear whether Shettima, who is the chairman of the Northern Governors Forum will contest for Borno Central or North senatorial district. His recent statement that his father hailed from Gajiram in Guzamal local government area (LGA) of northern Borno, created the confusion.

Yari who is a former member of the House of Reps is said to be eyeing the seat of Senator Yarima, his political godfather. Yarima presently occupies the Zamfara West senatorial district seat. Initially, there were reports that Yarima has resolved to hand over his seat to Yari. But it remains unclear.

The eyes of the Kwara State governor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, are also said to be on the Senate. His ambition is common knowledge in Kwara political circles. Ahmed, a banker turned politician, is said to be eyeing the seat of Senator Rafiu Ibrahim of the Kwara South Senatorial District. If he succeeds, and the two present senators, Bukola Saraki and Shaaba Lafiagi of Kwara North senatorial district return to the upper chamber in 2019, it would mean that all the three senators of Kwara State would be former governors.

It is common knowledge among the political heavyweights in Nasarawa State that the next move of Governor Umaru Tanko Al-Makura is heading into the Senate. He is said to be eyeing the seat of the Nasarawa South senatorial district being occupied by Senator Suleiman Adokwe of the PDP.

The senatorial ambition of the Yobe State governor, Ibrahim Geidam, has set him against Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim, who has been in the Senate since 2007. Geidam eyes Yobe East senatorial district, being occupied by Ibrahim, a former governor of Yobe. Recently, in an apparent reaction to the governor’s ambition, Senator Bukar Abba Ibrahim told his colleagues on the floor that he will be in the Senate for life.

Decampments galore!

Senators and members of the House of Reps may move from one party to the other in order to secure a fresh ticket to return in 2019 if there is any threat to their ambition. Tongues are already wagging as to whether the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and the former governor of Kano State, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso will dump the APC for another political party in 2018.

The defection reports of Kwankwaso are more pronounced than that of Saraki. But he has personally denied the report. Recently, his media aide, Binta Spikin, said her boss is not contemplating any idea to exit the APC.

It is widely believed that if Kwankwaso decamps, many heavyweight politicians, especially in the House of Representatives will join him. Kwankwaso’s feud with his successor in Kano, Dr Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, has so far defied mediation efforts. As 2019 rolls along, all will become clear.

Ekiti’s epic gubernatorial battle

Governor Ayo Fayose of Ekiti State, whose tenure ends on October 15, 2018, will get a successor in the coming new year. Already, the INEC has slated Ekiti governorship election for July 14, 2018. According to timetables of activities signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Mrs Augusta Ogakwu, the electoral body fixed April 15, 2018 for the commencement of campaigns, and April 16 for collection of forms.

The conduct of party primaries, including resolution of disputes arising from the primaries had been scheduled to hold between April 15, 2018, and May 14, 2018, while last day for submission of forms had been fixed for May 15, 2018.

Reports coming from the state reveal that the contest still remains between the ruling PDP and the opposition APC. Some say that the PDP may lose, following the adoption of the Deputy Governor by Governor Fayose and the disenchantment of some people towards the administration’s style of governance. Others, however, believe that the PDP may still win as long as Fayose calls the shots.

Who will Osun’s cap fit?

Osun State will get a new governor in 2018. The INEC has fixed September 22, 2018 for the governorship election in Osun State as the tenure of Governor Rauf Aregbresola ends in November 28, 2018. The notice of election will be issued on June 23, while campaign by political parties will commence on June 24 and end on September 20, 2018.

There are fears that the APC may lose the poll to any of the opposition political parties, going by the outcome of the Osun-West senatorial district election. But some pundits, however, believe that the ruling party may still win if it mends fences with the aggrieved labour unions. The APC, some sources added, will enjoy the support of the farmers and other areas localities who fear that another government may abandon the on-going developmental projects within their domain.

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Friday‎ claimed that the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) had turned year 2017 into a harvest of woes ranging from strange diseases, hunger, violence and untimely deaths of Nigerians.

‎The PDP in a statement by its national publicity secretary, Kola Ologbondiyan‎ also asked the government to stop "deceiving Nigerians" that 2018 would be better.

The party said ‎measured against all key performance indicators, the APC-led federal government has fallen below the expectations of Nigerians.

‎"The APC misrule literarily turned 2017 into a harvest of woes; hunger, disease, violence and deaths while the nation is now being pummelled by ethnic and religious agitations and attendant violence in all parts of the country.

"Also this year, marauders, criminal herders, Badoo cultists and insurgents were on the prowl with several innocent Nigerians as victims.

Nigerians suffered strange diseases; businesses were shut; hardship and poverty swelled mortality and divorce rates while the APC continues to thrive on propaganda and lies.

"Nigerians are very patient people but are tired of APC's incompetence, lies and endless propaganda. We therefore urge the APC to stop taking Nigerians for granted as the nation eagerly awaits their farewell address come 2019," the PDP said.

Congratulations

Father of Africa democracy

Liberia’s Vice President Joseph Boakai addresses the nation from his party’s headquarters in Monrovia on Friday.

Liberia’s Vice President, Jospeh Boakai, has conceded the Dec. 26 presidential runoff election to former soccer star, George Weah.

In a nationwide broadcast from his party’s headquarters in Monrovia on Friday, Boakai who was flanked by his supporters and party leaders, said he had already called Weah to congratulate him.

“I, Joseph Boakai, a man of peace, humility and with a deep faith in God hereby accept the results of the elections as announced by the National Elections Commission (NEC).

“I congratulate Ambassador Weah and pray that God will guide and empower him as takes the onerous responsibility of steering the affairs of our nation.

“Even though I will not be the captain of the ship, it is my fervent desire that the ship of state always sails smoothly.

“We must work to unite our people because Liberia is bigger than all of us,” he said.

Dressed in black, the vice president said he would not succumb to any temptation to impose pain, agony and uncertainty on the people of Liberia.

“My ambition to serve will never push me to stoop too low to violence.

“The truth of the matter is that what I was seeking was not power or title but instead the opportunity to serve,’’ Boakai noted.

With 98 per cent of the votes so far counted, Weah of the Coalition for Democratic Change polled 61.5 per cent.

Boakai is trailing far behind with 38.5 per cent of the votes.

The Chairman of NEC, Mr Jerome Korkoya, who made the announcement on Thursday, said the final results would be released on Friday.(NAN)
