The first Secretary to the Alhaji Lateef Jakande-led Lagos
State Government, Chief Olorunfunmi Basorun, speaks to
ENIOLA AKINKUOTU about the debate over Yoruba
leadership and other political issues
You were a top member of Chief Obafemi Awolowo’s
party, the Unity Party of Nigeria. Do you agree with
former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s argument that
there can never be a Yoruba leader?
The Yoruba leader now, without doubt, is Asiwaju Bola
Tinubu, and there are many reasons for this. The leadership
of the Yoruba, whether political or otherwise, is based on
who has advanced the interest of the Yoruba the most in
recent times and Tinubu has done this. Firstly, he has fought
for the interest of the Yoruba people. He helped Kayode
Fayemi to get his governorship bid back in Ekiti in 2010. In
the same year, he helped Rauf Aregbesola to get his
governorship mandate back in Osun State.
He helped Olusegun Mimiko get his governorship mandate
back in Ondo State in 2009. He even helped Adams
Oshiomhole in Edo as well. That shows that his interest
transcends personal preferences. In the political arena, he
graduated and moved to ensure that Nigeria became
virtually a two-party state. Because of Tinubu’s effort
coupled with others’, the APC was born.
He led various others to ensure that the party did not die.
Before the merger of the party, there was a quarrel between
President Muhammadu Buhari and Rabiu Kwankwaso, who
was then the Kano State Governor. Tinubu brought both of
them to the table of reconciliation and settled it and the
party emerged. That party, the APC, is in power today. The
party now rules 22 states out of 36 in Nigeria and also
produced the President. This shows Tinubu’s achievements
in politics.
Even look at the South-West. Abiola Ajimobi of Oyo State and
Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun State were in different parties
before 2011. Tinubu brought them into his party and they
are now running a second term in their respective states.
During the last elections, Yoruba contributed 2.433m votes
to Buhari’s presidency where Buhari got 15m. That
constitutes about 16 per cent of Buhari’s votes and this kind
of thing had never happened before. Even when Obasanjo
was made President, he didn’t get more than one million
votes in the South-West and in terms of percentage, it was
insignificant. And in the process of negotiations, Tinubu got
the position of the vice-president for the South-West. I
cannot point to any other Yoruba leader today that has
struggled for the Yoruba like Tinubu and succeeded.
But When Chief Obafemi Awolowo was named as the
Yoruba leader, it was an unanimous decision by all
notable Yoruba leaders at the time. Why is Tinubu’s own
controversial?
By our age, one should assume that we knew what
happened then. There was a lot of confusion after the
second coup and there was a meeting. Awolowo gave two
conditions. He said the army’s occupation of Lagos must end
and that if the Igbo were compelled to secede, the South-
West would go. These two statements, in the face of guns,
encouraged those present at the meeting to proclaim
Awolowo as the leader of the Yoruba that time. The
environment then was different from the one that Tinubu is
living in now. I am not saying that Tinubu is the same as
Awolowo but they lived at different times. Chief Awolowo did
many things based on the needs at that time. He built the
first stadium in Nigeria, the first television station, the first
to introduce free health and free education. These were the
needs at that time and many people loved him but those
who didn’t love him were many. Apart from Adisa Akinloye,
after the second coup in 1966, could anybody from
Ogbomoso pronounce Awolowo as the leader of the Yoruba
people? No. Because they were still bitter about the way
Ladoke Akintola died. So, those who are generalising and
looking at the view of Awolowo’s supporters as the general
mind of Yoruba people, forget that the Yoruba people never
went in one direction. As we are talking about Tinubu now,
there are some who hate him and do not hide it. But when
you talk of Yoruba leadership, there will be the first among
equals, and what I am saying is that Tinubu is the first
among those who are carrying the Yoruba banner very high.
But Awolowo said there cannot be a Yoruba leader
during the period of partisan politics but there can be a
cultural leader. Are you saying that we can have a
Yoruba leader now?
There are cultural leaders such as traditional rulers but on
the issue of politics, there must always be a leader who can
stick out his neck and fight for his people. Awolowo once
said that a day will come when the masses in the North and
South, Christians, Muslims will come together as a force for
progress and unity and kick against rigging, corruption and
that is what we are facing now. And we are happy that one of
our own in the South-West is carrying out this prediction of
Chief Awolowo. Why should he not be the leader of the
Yoruba for now? Whether it is political leader or anything we
want to call it, who has achieved what Tinubu has achieved?
Wouldn’t it be appropriate to call Obasanjo the Yoruba
leader since he is the only Yoruba man to ever emerge
as President?
He was President and he had greatness thrust upon him but
he did not work for greatness. I took part in electing him
because I was the founding chairman of the Lagos State
Peoples Democratic Party. We went to him in Abeokuta and
spoke to him when he just returned from prison but his first
response was that he had become a born again Christian
and had no interest in politics. So, he did not work to be
President. Most of the Yoruba did not even want him. In the
1999 election, he was defeated at his polling unit. I took the
pain to compile all the votes he got. He received about
1.1million votes in the South-West but most of the votes in
the South-West came from Lagos. He got about 209,000
votes from Lagos. He got a few votes from other South-West
states. As President, he performed to the best of his ability.
But Obasanjo cannot match the intellectual capacity of
Awolowo and Tinubu. So, Obasanjo is a chief and he is
respected in Yoruba land but in the contemporary Nigeria
today, Tinubu is the Yoruba leader. Even as President,
Obasanjo was not called Yoruba leader at that time because
he did not achieve anything on his own. It was a question of
people helping him. Awolowo said this in the House of
Representatives many years ago that some are born great,
some achieve greatness while some have greatness thrust
upon them. Tinubu achieved greatness while Obasanjo had
greatness thrust upon him. www.punchng.com/politics/tinubu-greater-than-obasanjo-basorun/

Operatives of the
Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission
have arrested the
Group Managing
Director of BGL Plc, a
Lagos-based financial
services company, Mr. Albert Okumagba, for alleged
N28.9bn fraud.
An operative of the commission, who confided in our
correspondent, said that those investigating the matter had
been grilling the BGL boss for allegedly obtaining money by
false pretences.
Though Okumagba on Thursday made a bid for his freedom
but he failed to obtain an interim injunction barring the
EFCC from arresting him.
Justice Mohammed Yunusa refused to grant the ex parte
application argued by Okumagba’s counsel, Kolawole
Reheem.
He also refused to order the EFCC to appear in court to
justify why Okumagba’s prayers should not be granted.
Rather than grant Okumagba’s prayers, Justice Yunusa asked
that the processes should be served on the respondents in
Lagos as prayed in reliefs 5 and 6.
Our correspondents found that Okumagba was picked up by
anti-graft operatives on Wednesday in response to a petition
by the by the Security and Exchange Commission in May,
2015.
An EFCC source said, “The EFCC has arrested Mr. Albert
Okumagba, Group Managing Director of BGL Plc, a financial
services company, for offences allegedly bordering on
obtaining money by false pretences.
“The 51-year-old, who hails from Delta State, was picked up
late Wednesday, September 9, 2015, by operatives of the
EFCC.
“His arrest was triggered by investigation into a petition
submitted to the anti-graft agency by the Security and
Exchange Commission in May 2015.
“The suspect is alleged to have diverted the sum of N28.9bn
being proceeds of private placements of 4.3bn ordinary
shares of 50k each at N7.00k per share in 2007.
“The company, whose subsidiaries include BGL Capital, BGL
Private Equity, BGL Security and BGL Asset Management,
allegedly lured 50 investors from across the country into
subscribing to the company’s shares, promising them
options of liquidity and exit within two years.”
It was stated that the investors were not able to liquidate
their assets contrary to the promise made to them and that
an alleged promise that BGL would be listed on the
Securities and Exchange Commission two years after the
offer in 2008 was not fulfilled
The Head of Media and Publicity of the EFCC, Mr. Wilson
Uwujaren, confirmed the arrest and interrogation of the BGL
boss.
No fewer than 40 petitions were said to have been sent to
the SEC against BGL by aggrieved capital market investors in
the country as well as the Rivers State Ministry of Finance.
The SEC had earlier announced the suspension of the BGL
Group from capital market activities on the strength of the
allegations contained in the petitions.
But on May 27, 2015, BGL had obtained an interim
injunction by Justice Saliu Saidu restraining SEC from
suspending it from participating in capital market activities.
Also on July 21, 2015, the firm obtained another interim
injunction by Justice Mohammed Idris stopping the plan by
SEC to hear the various petitions against it. www.punchng.com/news/n28-9bn-fraud-efcc-arrests-bgl-boss-okumagba/

A former National
Chairman of the
Peoples Democratic
Party, Alhaji Bamanga
Tukur, said on
Thursday that if he was
not forced out of office,
his party would have won the 2015 general elections.
Tukur, who spoke with journalists at his residence in Abuja
as one of the activities to mark his 80th birthday, said the
party was winning elections when he was in office.
The former PDP chairman was forced to resign from office
when he sanctioned some governors of the party.
Tukur, who was a former governor of the defunct Gongola
State, identified lack of internal democracy as the bane of
the former ruling party.
The defeat suffered by the PDP was unprecedented as the
then opposition party, the All Progressives Congress, won
the power at the centre and many states where the PDP had
hitherto remained unbeaten.
Tukur however said the situation would have been different
if he had not been booted out of office unceremoniously.
He said, “Well, when I was there I won elections and in the
same vein, if I was there I also expect to win the election.
“But first and foremost, this is a democracy and in every
democratic system, you have the opposition and the party in
government.
“So, it is time (for the opposition) because it is a democracy
and it is the people who decide who they want to vote for
and that is what the people have done.
“Sure the PDP will rediscover itself. I am sure about that; it is
their own party and they can find out what have gone wrong.
“If for 16 years people allowed you to rule them and in the
17th year they say no, you have to find out why they said
no.”
He said he faced problems in the party because some of
those he described as strong members of the party were
afraid of election and would rather prefer selection.
He said such powerful men were ready to leave the party,
but he decided to leave for them.
Tukur added, “Well, I thought we were in a system of
democracy and my views were such that what I believed in
were what I will preach.
“I wanted election and people said they wanted selection. If
the majority or the strong people in the PDP did not believe
in it then the choice or the next thing for me to do was to
leave.
“It is either I leave or they leave but I did not want them to
leave, so, I decided to leave. At that time, people said I was
preaching internal democracy instead of imposition. So, it
was difficult for me to sit down and be part of them.”
Despite the way he was treated in his party, Tukur said he
would not defect to the APC, saying that it would be difficult
for him to change his principle at 80.
He said, “At 80, what do you want somebody to do? You
want to change somebody’s character at 80? Is it possible?
“At 80, you remain because you cannot bend. You are
unbendable anymore and if you do it by force, you will
break.”. www.punchng.com/news/pdp-would-have-won-if-i-wasnt-removed-says-tukur/

The national leadership
of the Peoples
Democratic Party has
refused to hang the
official portrait of
President Muhammadu
Buhari at the party’s
national secretariat, checks by The PUNCH have revealed.
Over 100 days after the President assumed office, the PDP
has yet to hang his portrait at any of the offices in its Wadata
House national secretariat, located at Zone 5, Abuja.
The party has also said it would never put Buhari’s portraits
on its walls though it has removed that of the former
President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, who ruled on the
platform of the PDP.
“We will never hang his portrait in this office, because
President Buhari is not known to our party. He is not a
leader of our party and therefore we will never put his
portrait here. We are a political party, very partisan and
therefore, we are not going to hide that,” National Publicity
Secretary of the PDP, Olisa Metuh, told our correspondent
on the telephone on Tuesday.
Jonathan was also the presidential candidate of the former
ruling party during the last general election but he was
defeated by Buhari, who was the presidential candidate of
the opposition All Progressives Congress.
The defeat was the first to be suffered by the PDP since the
return of democracy in 1999.
Before now, the party has always been hanging the portraits
of all the Presidents at the party’s reception area as well as
the National Executive Committee and National Working
Committee halls within the secretariat.
Metuh said the APC also did not hang the portrait of Jonthan
in its offices before the former President was defeated in the
March 28 election.
“Can you find out if the APC had the portrait of former
President Jonathan in their office before he was defeated?
That is just it,” he told our correspondent.
When asked whether the party was taking its own pound of
flesh, Metuh said no but that since Buhari “is not a member
of our party, we won’t put his portrait here.”
The APC National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Lai Mohammed,
expressed shock at Metuh’s comment.
“This is ridiculous and we have no comment. Let Nigerians
judge the PDP on this matter,” Mohammed said.
He said the PDP spokesman had a shallow understanding of
the concept of opposition politics.
Meanwhile, work has stopped at the new secretariat of the
PDP, located in the Central Business District, Abuja.
Investigations by our correspondent indicated that
contractors handling the project were only doing skeletal
jobs at the site.
When our correspondent visited the site on Tuesday, there
was no visible job being done at the site.
It was gathered that the cost of the project was put at
N11.5bn when it was awarded some years ago. At
completion, the building is expected to have 12 floors, with
two other floors serving as the car park.
The party had claimed that the project was being financed
from levies and contributions from members.
When a fund-raising dinner was organised a few years ago,
the party was able to realise about N5bn, and the project,
which started more than four years ago, was to be delivered
in 126 weeks.
The former National Chairman of the party, under whose
leadership the project commenced, Prince Vincent
Ogbulafor, had then said that the complex, when completed,
would strengthen the capacity of the PDP to discharge its
role effectively in Africa.
The party had claimed on January 5, 2015 that it was going
to spend part of the N21.8bn it realised from the party’s
fund-raising on the party’s secretariat.
A former Minister for Information and the Chairman of the
party’s Fund-raising Committee, Prof. Jerry Gana, had said
the money donated to the PDP was not meant for the
campaign of the defeated Jonathan alone. www.punchng.com/news/well-never-hang-buharis-portrait-in-our-offices-pdp/

When you told your mum you dropped out of medical school to play flute.

AUGUST 21, 2015 : NAN. A non-governmental organisation, Prevent Abuse of Children
Today Coalition in Cross River State, says that no fewer than
20 children are kidnapped in Cross River within nine
months.
This is contained in a statement by Mr. James Ibor,
Coordinator, PACT Coalition, Cross River State and Executive
Secretary Basic Rights Counsel Initiative of the group in
Calabar on Friday.
Ibor said that PACT had been investigating the recent spate
of child kidnapping in Calabar, an ancient city famous for its
serene and peaceful environment.
According to him, the city regarded as the safest in Nigeria is
now nose-diving into a den of kidnappers with incessant
reported cases of child kidnapping.
Ibor said, “The fact that Calabar is increasingly gaining this
sad reputation as a centre of child kidnapping should be of
major concern to all state and national leaders.
“Over the last nine months, at least 20 children in the city
and outskirts of Calabar have been reportedly kidnapped for
suspected ritual purposes.
“The number of such cases seems to be increasingly on the
rise. Children aged between one to seven years have been
reportedly kidnapped, leaving families distressed and
helpless.
“On the 9th of July 2015, a one year and nine months old
baby was kidnapped at Ikot-Abasi Obori Street, Ikot-Ishie
Town, Calabar. On 2nd June, 2015 a four and a half year old
child was kidnapped at Awi, Akamkpa.
“On 15th May, 2015, a four-year-old child was kidnapped at
Akamkpa and a two and a half year old child was also
kidnapped at Idang, Calabar South. In April, 2015 a four-
year-old child was kidnapped at 8 mile Axis of Calabar.
“Other cases include a one and half year old child kidnapped
in May, 2015 when the kidnappers lured the child’s mother
to Aba, Abia State, under the pretence of giving her a job.
“Again, in April, 2015 a seven-year-old child was kidnapped
at Ambo Street, Calabar South. Another seven-year-old child
was kidnapped in April, 2015 at Idang, Calabar South.
“On 14th May, 2014 a two-year-old child was kidnapped at
Okon Ekpo Close, Off Jebbs, Calabar South. In September,
2014 a four-year-old child was kidnapped at Adiabo,
Odukpani.
“Also, a little boy of six years and her sister (a two-year-old
child), were both kidnapped in June, 2014 at Ikot-Eyo,
Akpabuyo Local Government Area, Cross River.
“We have the full data and documentation of these
kidnapped children in Cross River.”
He said that it was also worrisome that parents had been

AUGUST 21, 2015 : CHUKWUDI AKASIKE. THE Rivers State High
Court sitting in Port
Harcourt, on Thursday,
dismissed the suit filed
by a former governor
of the state, Mr. Rotimi
Amaechi, challenging
the setting up of a Judicial Commission of Inquiry to probe
his administration.
The State Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike, had constituted the
Justice George Omereji-led judicial commission of inquiry to
probe the sale of assets belonging to the state by the
Amaechi administration.
But Amaechi had gone to court to challenge the setting up of
the commission of inquiry to probe the immediate past
government.
However, Justice Simeon Amadi, who delivered judgment in
the suit, affirmed that the judicial commission of inquiry was
not established to investigate the personal activities of the
former governor.
Justice Amadi added that the commission was established to
investigate the previous actions of government as they
affected the people of the state.
According to him, Wike, by the provisions of the law, is
empowered to establish the judicial commission of inquiry
to investigate previous actions of government.
Justice Amadi specifically said that there was no law
preventing a state government from finding out how the
state’s resources were spent.
On the assertion by Amaechi that the 30 days set aside for
the sitting of the judicial commission of inquiry will deny
him fair hearing, Justice Amadi maintained that the number
of days set aside for the commission did not breach his
(Amaechi) right to fair hearing.
According to him, since Amaechi has yet to file a
memorandum before the commission and has not appeared
before it, the former governor cannot complain of not being
given a fair hearing.
The court stated that the 30 days set aside for the
commission of inquiry were not sacrosanct and could be
extended.
The court described Amaechi’s suit as being speculative
because the former governor failed to prove the injuries he
had suffered as a result of the establishment of the
commission of inquiry.
Amadi added that the terms of reference of the commission
did not accuse the former governor of crime – contrary to
the former governor’s claim.
He pointed out that the former governor was not on trial,
saying, “The judiciary is not only the last hope of the
common man, but it is also the last hope of the mighty and
the movers and shakers of democracy. Those who by the
benevolence of the judiciary got to power should resist the
temptation to emasculate the judiciary.”
However, the Rivers State Attorney General and
Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Emmanuel Aguma, explained
that with the court ruling, the commission of inquiry could
begin its sitting and promised that it would be fair to all
parties.
Aguma pointed out that the court decision on the matter had
shown that no claimant could run to a court to stop the
“legitimate business” of a judicial commission of inquiry.
But Amaechi’s counsel, Mrs. Winifred Enyinnaya, said the
former governor would appeal against the judgment. www.punchng.com
