₦airaland Forum

By Emmanuel Aziken, Political Editor
Erstwhile chairman of the Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission, EFCC, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu
was once poisoned in the course of his duties as
anti-corruption czar, former President Olusegun
Obasanjo has revealed.
Obasanjo, who spoke at an international forum on
3rd Tana High Level Forum on Security in Africa
in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, yesterday, also disclosed
that Ribadu created enemies for him because of
the ruthlessness with which he carried out his
responsibilities of tackling corruption in Nigeria.
Obasanjo, who spoke from the floor following a
presentation on Illicit Financial Flow and
Governance of Natural Resources made by
Ribadu, affirmed that he had known from
experience that the fight against corruption
attracts a lot of enemies.
Former EFCC Chairman, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu
The former President declared that he has no fear
of anyone still living in Nigeria, adding “it is rather
them that fear me.”
Saying that Ribadu took on a lot of highly
connected persons in his fight against corruption,
Obasanjo said that the former anti-corruption
chief was once poisoned, causing a scare among
concerned quarters.
“It was a matter of life and death,” the former
president said, though further details of the
incidence were not given.
Obasanjo said that once Ribadu was appointed,
he gave him a free hand and that Ribadu
investigated him, his late wife and several
persons close to him at that time.
He also narrated a story of how a serving
minister, who was his senior in secondary school,
was indicted and prosecuted by the EFCC, adding
that when the minister was found wanting “there
was no issue of seniority again.”
On leadership
Obasanjo, who is also the chairperson of the
Tana Forum, re-echoed Ribadu’s submission that
at the centre of anti-corruption fight there was
the need for willing political leadership at the
highest level.
He, however, added that the leader also needs
relevant legislations to work with, narrating his
experience with the bill establishing ICPC which,
he said, was whittled down by lawmakers, who
felt they could be victims of the law.
In his remarks, the Prime Minister of Ethiopia,
Hailemariam Desalegn, thanked Ribadu for his
presentation, which, he said, highlighted many
good things about Nigeria different from what is
portrayed in the media.
In his presentation, Ribadu offered measures
African countries can take to tackle illicit financial
flow and repatriate money already illegally taken
out of the African countries.
SOUTH SUDAN, Juba : The African Union
Commission of Inquiry on South Sudan (AUCISS),
led by former Nigerian president Olusegun
Obasanjo (C), arrives in the South Sudanese
capital Juba on April 24, 2014 for the start of its
first field mission to the country that has been
mired in conflict since December. The visit comes
as fresh fighting and violence against civilians are
reported in South Sudan. AFP PHOTO
He said what Africa needs is honest and
committed leaders who will set examples with
themselves by eschewing corruption and close
avenues of illicit financial flow.
According to him, it is the seriousness and
commitment showed by the political leadership
that will convince other foreign countries to work
with them towards recovering looted monies
stashed abroad.
Ribadu also emphasised the need for concerted
effort among countries and a synergy between
law enforcement agencies so that looters could
be caught.

The Republic of South Sudan has said it needs
the assistance of Nigeria in the areas of training
for its security personnel, many of whom were
former rebels, who were conscripted into the
security agencies.
South Sudan Vice President, James Igga, who
said this while responding to questions from
journalists at the inaugural meeting of the South
Sudan Nigerian Chambers of Commerce and
Industries in Abuja on Friday, explained that the
security situation in his country had improved
tremendously.

All Progressives Congress, APC, has won in the 22
local government areas that were contested for in
the local government elections held on Saturday
in Rivers State.
The election was marred by low turnout of voters
because of the controversy that trailed the date of
the election. Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, which had gone to court to challenge
the council polls, boycotted same, as it had
insisted that the time was wrong and the process
not transparent.
Similarly, the faction of Nigeria Labour Congress,
NLC, led by Mr. Adah Williams, had last Thursday,
called on workers in the state not to participate in
the elections. But on Friday, the NLC faction led
by Mrs. Beatrice countered the earlier
announcement by Williams, urging workers to be
part of the elections.
On the day of the polls, heavy rainfall worsened
the situation, as the rain which started around
5:25 a.m., prevented Rivers State Independent
Electoral Commission, RSIEC, officials from
distributing electoral materials early to the polling
units. Voters turned out after the rain which
stopped at 12noon.
Amidst the controversies and threats, the election
was violence free. Voters came out to cast their
votes for the candidates of their choice without
intimidation.
RSIEC has been commended by some APC
chieftains for conducting the local government
elections as scheduled despite intimidations. It
will be recalled that a Federal High Court sitting
in Port Harcourt, had earlier ordered parties for
the elections to maintain status quo, following a
suit by the PDP. It was based on the court
directive that PDP boycotted the polls.

Now I beleive GMB is a terrorist

terrorist indeed and He will terrorise a corrupted soul like u. eediot.

P resident Goodluck Jonathan on Sunday gave an
insight into the fate that awaits him under the
incoming government of the President-elect, Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari (retd.), saying he and
ministers as well as other aides who served
under him would be persecuted.
President Jonathan Farewell Service
He said he and his ministers would have hard
times because of some critical decisions they took
while in office.
Jonathan also looked back at all the benefits that
had come his way as a Nigerian, saying he was
ready to pay the supreme price for the nation.
The President spoke at a thanksgiving and
farewell service organised in his honour at the
Cathedral Church of the Advent, Life Camp,
Gwarinpa, Abuja.
Jonathan who was accompanied by his wife,
Patience, said considering what God had done in
his life, he wished he could dance like the biblical
King David but he kept missing his steps
whenever he made attempts.
He said only a few Nigerians within his age
bracket were as lucky as he is because he had
not suffered any lack, not because he is
hardworking but by the grace of God.
He said after reflecting on the benefits which
included the scholarships he enjoyed in school
and the various political offices he had occupied,
he should be able to do anything in the interest of
the country, including paying the supreme price.
He added that he is leaving office of the President
as a fulfilled and very happy man.
Jonathan said, “I want to thank God for what he
has done for me and my family. I wish to dance
more than David, if I tried to dance, I missed my
steps.
“I have all the reasons to thank God. Very few of
those in my age brackets have been that lucky.
All through my education I was on government
scholarship. I have not suffered lack not because
I am hardworking, but by God’s grace.
“When I look at the whole picture of my life up to
when I became the President of this country, I say
that if soldiers and police officers that have not
received 0. 5 percent of the benefits that I have
received from the state can lay their lives for this
country, I should do anything in the interest of
Nigeria, including paying the supreme price.
“As long as live, I will continue to do my best for
the state because the state has helped me as a
person.
“I have to thank Nigerians especially my state for
giving me the opportunity to serve as deputy
governor and the whole country gave me the
opportunity to serve as Vice President and then
President, first was to complete the tenure of the
late president and later serve as President from
which I am exiting now as a very happy and
fulfilled man.”
Saying that hard decisions have their own cost,
Jonathan said he was ready to pay for some of
the costly decisions he took while in charge of the
country.
He said experience had shown him that people
would at a time desert anybody who takes tough
decisions like he did.
He said he had always hold the belief that more
of his friends would desert him as time goes on.
He recalled the story of the last ruler of apartheid
South Africa who was divorced by his wife for
accepting to abolish minority rule in the country,
and said jokingly that he hoped his wife will not
also divorce him after he might left office.
Mrs. Jonathan replied with a shout of “Nooooo”.
Her response was greeted with a loud applause
by congregation members.
The President also prepared the minds of the
ministers and aides who served under him, saying
though times await them all.
He said, “I believe there are reasons for
everything. Some hard decisions have their own
cost, no doubt about that.
“That I have ran the government this way that
stabilised certain things, the electoral process
and other things that brought stability into this
country. They were very costly decisions which I
myself must be ready to pay for.
“Some people come to me and say this or that
person, is he not your friend that benefitted? Is it
not your government that this person benefitted
from? But this is what the person is saying.
“But I used to say that worse statements will
come. If you take certain decisions, you should
know that those close to you will even abandon
you at some point.
“And I tell them that more of my so-called friends
will disappear. When FW De Clark took the
decision to abolish minority rule in RSA, even his
wife divorced him. I hope my wife will not divorce
me. But that is the only decision that has made
RSA to still remain a global player by this time. If
we still had that minority rule there, by this time,
nobody will be talking about RSA.
“If you take certain decisions, it might be good for
the generality of the people but it might affect
people differently. So for ministers and aides who
served with me, I sympathise with them, they will
be persecuted. And they must be ready for that
persecution.
“Quoting Tai Solarin, may your ways be rough. To
my ministers, I wish you what I wish myself. They
will have hard times, we will all have hard times.
Our ways will be rough.”
Jonathan however said he was happy that the
ordinary people appreciate what he did and that,
according to him, is the most important.
He said it was not what the elite or the privileged
few talk or say about his administration that
matters but what the majority of the Nigerian
public think about his actions and inactions.
He expressed delight that he came to Abuja with
his family peacefully and they are returning
peacefully.
The President thanked the church and Nigerians
for standing by him even at his most difficult
times.
He said even on the March 28 presidential
election which he lost to Buhari, there were many
people who supported him nationwide.
Despite exiting the Presidential Villa, Jonathan
promised that he would continue to pray for the
country and the Buhari administration.
He said the outcome of the election went that
way because God wanted it to be so for a
purpose.
“Even for the election, we had people who
supported us all over the country but things went
the way they did because God wanted it that way
for a purpose.
“We will continue to pray for the peace of the
country and for the success of the incoming
administration.
“When the country is in good shape, people
benefit. When things are going well, people are
happy. You don’t need to know Mr. President or
Mr. Governor.
“The issue is not about Jonathan or Buhari or any
other person. The issue is how the government
functions: stability, buoyant economy that will
enable Nigeria to move forward and live happy.
That is our interest, that is my prayer point.
“All religious groups should pray for the country,”
he concluded.
Jonathan thereafter requested that his favourite
him, “Stand by me” be sung again.
He said apart from inspiring him, the hymn makes
him aware of the fact that whatever one does
there will be storms.
He said the assurance in the hymn was that once
such a person means well for the people, God will
always stand by him.

The post-election crisis rocking the ruling
People’s Democratic Party (PDP) reached a
crescendo Tuesday evening when the party’s
National Chairman Adamu Muazu was literally
bundled out of a meeting meant for State
Governors, the Nigerian Times was reliably told.
Muazu who was an uninvited guest at the Akwa
Ibom State Lodge, Asokoro Abuja venue of the
PDP governors’ meeting was shocked when some
of the governors began to charge at him accusing
him of betraying the party at the just concluded
presidential elections.
Nigerian Times also learnt that the angry
governors led by a governor from the South-West
and another from the South-South began to
scream at him: “what are you doing here after
you have betrayed us? Leave here now!”
The bewildered party chairman while making
attempt to appeal to the governors’ for
understanding was pushed out by the two
governors who were too angry to pay him any
attention.
Stories have been making the round that there
are plans by members of the party’s leadership to
remove Muazu from his position if he fails to
resign voluntarily after leading the party to a
woeful outing in the just concluded elections.
It is however not clear what will be the next line
of action of the governors, National Working
committee, Board of Trustees and even the
embattled chairman but pundits believe that
Muazu’s days as chairman is numbered.
Recall that he became chairman after such feeling
of incompetence greeted his predecessor
Bamanga Tukur who was later removed in an
inglorious manner.

Ikechukwu Nnochiri
ABUJA—Chairman of the Independent Electoral
Commission, INEC, Professor Attahiru Jega,
Wednesday, said he has no regrets for insisting
on deploying Smart Card Reader machines for the
conduct of the general election, saying he knew
that the decision would attract unwarranted
attacks on his integrity as a person.
Would-be riggers the ones crying foul, says INEC
boss
Jega, who stated this while unveiling the Nigeria
Civil Society Situation Room in Abuja yesterday,,
maintained that it is only those that hitherto
nurtured plans to fraudulently manipulate the
outcome of the elections, that have been crying
foul over the introduction of the technology which
he said would only add credibility to the electoral
process in the country.
He said that INEC had perfected all its strategies
and put every apparatus in place with a view to
ensuring a hitch free poll that will reflect the
summative choice of Nigerians.
“Let me use this opportunity to reassure
Nigerians that we believe that we have done
everything possible to ensure that the 2015
general election is successful. We are adequately
prepared in terms of both logistics and
manpower. Likewise, all the security agencies,
especially the police which have a lead role to
play in terms of providing security during
elections, have assured us that they are ready.
Chairman of the Commission, Professor Attahiru
Jega
“Beginning from today, we are commencing the
rolling out of non-sensitive materials. Likewise,
from Friday, all the sensitive materials will be
retrieved from the vault of the Central Bank
Nigeria by our officers, accompanied by security
operatives and representatives of the political
parties”.
He said that the materials would be distributed to
states from where it would be taken to local
government areas and subsequently to the ward
level.
Jega further highlighted the fact that the
commission has provided and reasonably
equipped Registration Area Centers, RACs, “to
ensure that both our staff in various states and
security agents spend few hours of the night on
Friday there to enable them to be ready to deploy
the sensitive materials on the election morning”.
He assured that there will be remarkable
reduction in the delays that were previously
experienced in the commencement of elections, as
well as retrieval of materials at the end of
election.
However, the INEC boss said it was regrettable
that the results of the election will not be
electronically transmitted to the collation points.
He said though INEC initially piloted the procedure
at two previous elections in Cross River and Niger
States, “we decided that we will not put the
electronic transmission of results to use in 2015
in view of the controversies the procedure might
likely generate from those who don’t see anything
good in what we are doing as a commission.
“We can see the dust that the introduction of card
readers raised. So we decided to keep piloting
and improving on the system beyond 2015,
hopefully, by 2019, the commission will introduce
it for the general election”.
‘They know card readers ‘ll stop alteration of
figures’
On the issue of the card readers, Jega, who
stressed that the process will help address
concerns about the alteration of election figures
to fraudulently confer advantage on some
candidates to the detriment of others, said no
such thing would happen this time around.
“This is indeed why they have been attacking me
because they know that the card reader machines
will help us to address all those irregularities,
starting from the accreditation of voters at all the
polling units. How can they manipulate the
election when all the information with regards to
the number of voters that turned out at every
polling unit is automatically captured and
transmitted by the card reader machines?
‘We have made rigging impossible for them’
He continued; “We have made rigging impossible
for them as there is no how the total number of
votes cast at the polling unit could exceed the
number of accredited persons. Such discrepancy
in figures will be immediately spotted. This
technology will further make it impossible for any
corrupt electoral officer to connive with any
politician to pad-up results”, he added.
Besides, Jega noted that in the past, dubious
INEC officials usually delayed the entry of number
of accredited voters until the end of voting so as
to have the leeway to tamper with results, a
problem he said would be obviated by the smart
card readers.
He said that both the card readers and the result
sheets would be taken to the ward levels, “once
there is evidence of tampering, the information
saved in the card reader will be retrieved.
“To my mind, these are some of the reasons why
many of them are opposing the use of the card
readers. The crooked ways they used in the past
to get away with manipulation of election results
have been dealt with. This time, with the card
readers, such fraud will be easy to establish.
“We have further made arrangement that all the
results coming to local government collection
centers will be scanned, transformed to PDF
format and uploaded on our website so that
anybody can go there and confirm result from his
polling unit.
“We believe that this is an added value to our
process, it is something that we have not been
able to do in the past. Let me also use this
opportunity to advise political parties to pay
attention to the appointment and accreditation of
agents they will deploy at the polling unit level.
They should not appoint people without credibility,
who can be bought over by other party agents”,
Jega stated.
Police promises adequate security
Earlier at the event, the Inspector General of
Police, Mr. Suleiman Abba, who was represented
by the force public relations officer, Mr.
Emmanuel Ojukwu, expressed the readiness of the
Nigeria Police Force to provide adequate security
during and after the elections.
He said that particular attention was being
focused on the protection of NYSC members that
will work as ad-hoc staff for INEC during the
elections.
“Infact, we are already prepared for the 2019
elections. Those who taught the Nigeria will
disintegrate by 2015 are in for a disappointment.
Our men are well prepared, trained and motivated
to carry out their responsibilities during the
election. We are also working with other law
enforcement agencies to have adequate security
manpower”, Ojukwu said.
In a statement that was read by the Executive
Director of Policy and Legal Advocacy Center, Mr
Clement Nwankwo, the Civil Society Situation
Room, urged Nigerians to go out en mass to
exercise their franchise and defend their votes.
“It is important for all Nigerians to recognize that
beyond the partisan divisions and the outcomes
of the electoral contests, the future of Nigeria is
the main issue at stake”, it added.
The situation room is a coalition of over 60 Civil
Society Organizations that are involved in
monitoring elections in Nigeria.

Owerri – The All Progressives Congress (APC)
presidential candidate, Gen. Muhammadu Buhari,
on Monday said he would ensure that the Naira
was equal to the dollar in value, if voted into
office.
Buhari stated this during the South-East
presidential rally of the party at Dan Anyima
Stadium, Owerri.
“It is sad that the value of the naira has dropped
to more than N230 to one dollar; this does not
speak well for the nation’s economy,’’ he said.
He urged the people to vote for APC, noting that
he would ensure that corruption was tackled
headlong if elected.
Earlier, Gov Rochas Okorocha had urged APC
supporters to vote for the party’s candidates at
all levels, noting that a vote for Buhari without
support to others at the state would amount to
nothing.
Okorocha said Buhari would address the problem
of electricity, bring back the kidnapped Chibok
girls and promote industrial growth.
He said that Buhari was loved by the people in
the region and urged them to elect him and other
APC candidates during the March 28 and April 11
general elections.
Former governor of Anambra, Mr Chinwoke
Mbadinuju and former Minister of Education,
Chinwe Obaji, were formally welcomed to the APC
at the rally.
The rally was attended by APC supporters from
Abia, Ebonyi, Anambra, Enugu and Imo. (NAN)

In a response to the Institute of Human Rights
and Humanitarian Law, a Rivers State-based civil
society organization, the university said a request
for President Jonathan’s academic records did
not fall within the provisions of the FOI law. “The
Management of the University has carefully
considered your request vis-a-vis the FOI Act,”
the university stated in their letter dated 26th
February, 2015, and signed by Eric Loveday Osuo
Abonemi, the institution’s Legal Officer.
“It is my instructions to inform you that your
request does not come within the relevant
provisions of the FOI Act for its practicability or
for the University to provide such details as
requested.
“Details of the Ph.D Degree of President Goodluck
Jonathan in the University of Port Harcourt
cannot therefore be made available to you.”
Related : NewsRescue - Over 63 Years? New
Facts Dispute President Jonathan’s Official
Given Age
The Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian
Law had filed an FOI request, three weeks ago, to
the university seeking relevant details of Mr.
Jonathan’s doctorate qualifications.
The letter requested the following information
relating to the president’s doctorate qualification,
citing the provisions of Sections 2 and 4 of the
FOI Act, 2011:
1. The title of the president’s doctorate
dissertation
2. Year of registration as a doctorate candidate
3. Name of his doctorate supervisor(s)
4. Name of his external examiner(s)
5. Comments/reports of the external examiner of
the dissertation/thesis
6. Photocopy of the dissertation/thesis
7. Date of graduation from the university
The organization said it was willing to bear any
cost the university might incur in making
photocopies of the requested documents and for
posting them.
President Jonathan was admitted into the
Department of Zoology (now renamed Animal and
Environmental Biology), University of Port
Harcourt, in 1977, where he graduated with
Second Class Honours (Upper Division).

Search For Their President’s Alleged PhD
Thesis #GEJYourThesisPlease?
In 1985, Mr. Jonathan obtained a Master of
Science degree in Hydrobiology and Fisheries, and
a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Zoology 10 years
later.
Both degrees were also from the University of
Port Harcourt.
Lately, Mr. Jonathan’s academic qualifications
have come under increased scrutiny ahead of the
forthcoming general elections. Critics have
accused the president of failing to complete his
doctorate programme. In a response to an enquiry
by Punch Newspaper in January, the university
dismissed such claims as having “neither legs nor
grounds to stand on”.
The university had also told any person or
organization seeking additional information on Mr.
Jonathan’s qualifications to contact the school
authorities.
“We have absolutely nothing to hide as an
institution that has a statutory mandate to
advance the frontiers of knowledge,” William
Wodi, the university’s Deputy Registrar
(Information), had told the newspaper.
It is unclear why the university declined to release
Mr. Jonathan’s academic qualifications to the
civil society organization after giving that
commitment.
Jiti Ogunye, a Lagos-based lawyer, said the
president’s academic records ought to be freely
available in the university and not be “opaque or
hidden”.
“The FOI is applicable to the academic records of
a public officer whose academic records are being
requested by a Nigerian citizen or a
nongovernmental organization duly registered in
Nigeria with a view to promoting accountability
and transparency in government,” Mr. Ogunye
said.
“The academic records of the president are not
the medical records of the president in which
case a medical officer can say the FOI is
exempted, or the records between a lawyer and
his client which are covered by the confidentiality
rule.”
WHAT THE FOI ACT SAYS
According to Section 14(1) of the FOI ACT,
subject to subsection (2), a public institution
must deny an application for information that
contains personal information and information
exempted under this subsection includes:
(a) files and personal information maintained with
respect to clients, patients, residents, students, or
other individuals receiving social, medical,
educational, vocation, financial, supervisory or
custodial care or services directly or indirectly
from public institutions;…
(2) A public institution shall disclose any
information that contains personal information if
–
(a) the individual to whom it relates consents to
the disclosure; or
(b) the information is publicly available
(3) Where disclosure of any information referred
to in this section would be in the public interest,
and if the public interest in the disclosure of such
information clearly outweighs the protection of
the privacy of the individual to whom such
information relates, the public institution to whom
request for disclosure is made shall disclose such
information subject to Section 14(2) of this Act.
Mr. Ogunye said that an institution might attempt
to hide under Section 14(1)(a) to decline
disclosure of information.
“My argument is, this information is publicly
available and ought to be disclosed. The
president has said he obtained his Ph.D in that
institution, so it’s publicly available,” Mr. Ogunye
said.
“So why will an institution refuse to disclose an
information that is publicly available? The
university has acted wrongly and can be
compelled by the suit of the non-governmental
organization concerned to disclose the
information.”

During his media chat, Pres. Jonathan explains
the corruption dilemma facing Nigeria in colorful
