The attention of the Nigerian Metallurgical Society
(NMS) has been drawn to the publication of March
5, 2015 by the Punch Editorial on the above subject
matter.
The statement which was credited to the
Honourable Minister of Mines and Steel
Development during 2015 budget defence read in
part “The latest moves by the Federal Government
are likely to further depress, rather than revitalise,
the critical steel sector of the economy. While yet
another management arrangement is unfolding at
the Ajaokuta Steel Company, the Delta Steel
Company, Owvian-Aladja, is set to be sold to an
automobile company. The imperative of privatisation
is very urgent, but the bane of our steel industry,
corruption and deliberate bungling of the process,
must be reversed to achieve the objectives of
industrialisation, export trade promotions and job
creation”.
“Based on bitter experiences, Nigerians have every
reason to be apprehensive of the latest official
gyrations. The Minister of Mines and Steel
Development, Mohammed Sada, while defending the
ministry’s 2015 budget proposal at the Senate,
stated that DSC would be sold soon to an automobile
company. The alarm bells provoked by this missive
were still ringing when news emerged that sub-
Saharan Africa’s largest steel plant, ASC, is likely to
be handed over to another shadowy consortium to
manage on behalf of the government. It is unusual
for a vehicle assembly firm to buy a steel plant”!
Experimentation without end !
The Nigerian Metallurgical Society (NMS) is of the
view that the affairs of Ajaokuta Steel Company
Limited (ASCL), Ajaokuta and the Delta Steel
Company (DSC), Owvian–Aladja must be looked
into curiously and critically in order to avoid the pit
fall of the past when the two companies were
hurriedly privatized.
It should be noted that the Ajaokuta Steel Company
Limited (ASCL) was conceptualized as far back as
1958, when the dream of establishing an indigenous
Steel industry started. The increased awareness of
the availability of abundant iron ore and coal
deposits all over the country spurred the desire to
establish a fully integrated Iron and Steel company
in Nigeria. Based on the recommendation of the
Soviet experts that the Blast Furnace System of
Steel Making be adopted. Messrs Techno-Export
(TPE), was charged with responsibilities ranging
from planning, construction and operation of the
Steel company. In the case of the Delta Steel
Company Limited similar efforts were made by the
Federal Government who stated the contract of
construction of the Delta Steel Company Limited
(DSC) with a German Consortium. The Steel Plant at
Ovwian/Aladja, Delta Steel Company Ltd (DSC), a
Midrex Direct Reduction Technology, was
commissioned on the 29th January 1982 by the
former President Alhaji Shehu Shagari, (by then
Ajaokuta Steel Company was also almost ready for
commissioning). DSC was the first operating
integrated Steel Plant in West Africa, with a capacity
for 1 million tonnes of Steel per annum. At one time
DSC had taken super-concentrate from Itakpe (in
Nigeria) to do away with imported ones. This feat
was hailed by all and sundry. DSC after
commissioning produced and supplied Steel billets
to the Inland Rolling Mills at Jos, Oshogbo, and
Katsina. Unfortunately, since 1994, DSC has been
on the verge of collapse due to a multiplicity and
inter-play of factors:- ministerial strangle-hold and
insincere directives, under funding, misuse of
scarce fund, over-costing of inputs, under-costing
of products, etc. Subsequently, with the near-
collapse of DSC also came the paralyses of the
Inland Rolling Mills.
It is our belief that the Steel Plants were established
by the Federal Government of Nigeria then with the
purpose to generate upstream and downstream
industrial and economic activities critical to the
diversification of the economy of the country and to
provide the basis for processing our own mineral
resources (iron ore, limestone, dolomite etc) so as
to open up new export frontiers for additional foreign
exchange earnings. It was expected then that the
steel industries will provide the technological base
for the industrialization of the Country and to spur
local industrial progress through import substitution
and conservation of foreign exchange and create
additional employment opportunities. Ajaokuta Steel
Plant was aptly tagged as the “bedrock of Nigeria’s
industrialization” and Nigerians were full of
expectations.
For the sake of those who may be new to the story
of Ajaokuta Steel Project. The Steel Plant is located
on a 24,000 hectares greenfield land mass, built on
800 hectares of land, with vast land for future
expansion. Three-Phase commissioning sequence
was adopted for implementing the project: Phase I:
1.3million tonnes of steel per year; Phase II:
2.6million tonnes of steel per year; Phase III:
5.2million tonnes of steel per year. Phase I is
estimated to be over 98% technically ready since
1994 and had remain in that state ever since!
Unfortunately, moving from one experimental stage
to another:
1. In line with the industrial policy of the civilian
administration under Olusegun Obasanjo, efforts
were made at involving the private sector in the
completion of the Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited
but suffice to say that the effort failed woefully.
SOLGAS, an energy company was chosen for the
completion of the project which with benefit of
hindsight was a wrong decision. Fears were
expressed, even up to the level of the Nigerian
Senate, about the likelihood of SOLGAS converting
the integrated Steel plant mainly into an electricity
generating plant rather than a steel plant. It was
argued that the consequence of this would be that
the viability of the inland Rolling Mills and Itakpe Iron
Mining Company would be jeopardized. The African
Iron and Steel Association (AISA) also voiced
concern about the ability of SOLGAS to deliver on
the contract. AISA doubted the company’s ability to
execute a $ 3.6 billion project citing its inexperience
in steel making, and the fact that it apparently had
only a company turnover of only 6 million dollars.
However, it was later discovered even though too
late that SOLGAS did not have the required
technical capacity to deliver on its promises, and
the Nigerian government terminated the agreement
with it. SOLGAS reportedly failed to start production
even after one and half years of assuming control.
Thus the experimental voyage with SOLGAS ended
in disaster .
2. There was another “experimental” proposal from
Kobe Steel of Japan, which proposed the
introduction of the FASTMELT process of iron
making technology into the Ajaokuta plant. The
implication of this is that the existing Blast Furnace
facilities will be replaced by the fast melt
technology. Kobe Steel claimed that the new
technology was capable of being operated by a
non-coking coal that are available in Nigeria thus
making production costs cheaper and profitability
higher. Perhaps the suggestion to discard the use of
the Blast furnace facilities did not appeal to the
Nigerian government and rejected the proposal
since most of the equipment required for the
erection of the second coke oven battery was
already in place. Moreover, the iron making plant
(Blast Furnace) and the Steel Making Plant were
ready for commissioning.
3. Again, in mid-August 2004, the Nigerian
government and stakeholders were again deceived
and a Concession Agreement was signed by Global
Infrastructure Holdings Ltd (GHIL). Government was
however alerted on the dubious activities of GHIL,
advising the Government to abort the agreement
with GHIL. Unfortunately the Government failed to
heed the advice. GIHL could not fire the Blast
Furnace, which was expected to start producing
Ironl. The Company left the Steel Company
disgracefully and even had the audacity to take the
Federal Government of Nigeria to International Court
of Arbitration!
4. Yet in 2008, an Interim Management Committee
(IMC) was set up to oversee the company. The
panel came into being after a Committee set up by
the former President, the late Alhaji Umaru
Yar'Adua. Four years into its operations, the IMC
remained a lame duck, with nothing to show.
5. In 2012, President Goodluck Jonathan approved
the appointment of Isa Joseph Onobere as the Sole
Administrator for Ajaokuta Steel Company Limited
and Alhaji A.Y. Ibrahim for National Iron Ore Mining
Company Limited, (NIOMC). Onobere, a
Metallurgical Engineer, was also a top management
staff of the company. The appointments were
announced by the Minister of Mines and Steel
Development, Arc. Musa Mohammed Sada. Arc.
Sada explained that what informed Federal
Government’s decision on the appointments of the
new Sole Administrators for the two companies was
to inject new ideas into the two facilities to make
them operational in line with the transformation
agenda on service delivery. The Minister noted that
the two Sole administrators were appointed on the
basis of “their experiences and professionalism in
the minerals and metals sector that they should be
able to bring about the expected turn around in the
two facilities”. The Nigerian Metallurgical Society
commended the efforts of the government then as
putting a round peg in a round hole. Despite been
starved of fund, the management had been able to
survive and started to give the ASCL a new lease of
life.
There is no amount of investment a nation puts in
its Iron and Steel industry that will be a waste. It
should be noted that Japan and South Korea do not
have the raw materials for steel production locally,
yet they are among the largest producers of steel in
the world today. The giant technological strides that
they have experienced over the years is attributable
to the development of their steel industries. Also, as
far back as 1950’s, Indian government realised the
importance of steel in entrepreneurial development
of India. The government therefore imposed
restrictions on the importation of automobiles,
railway equipment, textile machinery, machine tools
and agricultural equipment into her country.
However this imposition was followed by
corresponding action: the government embacked on
the establishment of steel plants and foundries in
India. The government also offered incentives of
60-70% of the cost of setting up cottage, small and
medium scale projects to entrepreneurs. In some
cases the government procured raw materials
centrally for distribution to the steel plants and
foundries.
Nigerian Government should ensure that
stakeholders aggreed that certain percentage of
local content of material products are procured
locally. Government in the last privatization
exercise of DSC actually sold 80% of the
shareholding. 20% was to be sold to the community
and staff. There were allegations that this gesture
was frustrated by the core investor hence BPE held
the 20% in trust for the government. This 20%
should have enabled BPE to participate in the Board
which never happened. The advantage of
government withholding 20-30% of the company
shares will make it participate effectively in the
company and monitor its activities. This will
forestall a repeat of the last experience whereby a
company that was privatized for about N3.75b
within a short period had accumulated over N44
billion debt with dilapidated plant and machinery left
behind.
SUMMARY
In the light of the above, the following suggestions
are put forward:
(1) The Federal Government, The National
Assembly, the Ministry of Mines and Steel
Development, together with all the stake holders
and well meaning Nigerians should reject in totality
the “experimental” idea as being proposed by the
Honourable Minister of Mines and Steel
Development to sell DSC to automobile assembly
company. The primary aim of the steel plant is
being jettisoned. Such an assembly plant will end up
to import vehicle parts to assemble and sell to us at
the cost of imported vehicles. Such parts could be
produced in Nigeria in the first instance to add
value to our abundant raw materials.
(2) While we are not against privitisation, we believe
that it must be done transparently and in such a
manner that it will be of benefit to Nigerians.
Government should consider withholding about
20-30% of the shareholding of Delta Steel ( DSC)
(and indeed the Ajaokuta and NIOMCO). These
should be done carrying all the stakeholders and
professionals along to forestall the mistakes of the
past. Government can later divest this 20-30% to
either the core investor or the public.
(3) In order to ensure proper operation of Delta
Steel Company, Government should consider
allowing DSC to buy some shareholding in NIOMCO.
This will trigger some activities in NIOMCO that will
hasten the re-commencement of operation there.
The successful turn-around of DSC will largely
depend on uninterrupted supply of iron-ore and
other raw materials.
(4) Efforts should be made by government to ensure
the completion and full operationalization of the
Steel industries. If the Ajaokuta Steel Company is
98% technically ready, then nothing should stop the
Goernment to put in efforts to see that the
remaining 2% are technically completed. We are not
carried away by the false propaganda that the
operating the steel plant is not economically viable.
Mainly such arguments come from those who are
totally ignorant of the operation of steel plants. The
Government only requires the political and
economic will to bail the steel plants out of the
woods for the betterment of our nation.
(5) Rather than the Ministry of Mines and Steel
embarking on another experimental escapade, we
suggest that a more realistic efforts be made with
all sincerity of purposes to bring the steel industries
on stream. The present management structure at
Ajaokuta Steel Company is competent enough to
realize the steel dream of the nation. The
Government needs to release fund for the operation
in the company. Reviving the Steel industries by
completion and operationalization will not only
enable the country to build strong industrial base
but will create employment and a lot of investment
opportunities.
The Nigerian Metallurgical Society will always
support any genuine intentions of the Government to
revitalize the steel sector.

Alhaji Lai Muhammed, National Publicity
Secretary of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), got married to Alhaja Kudirat Adeoti
Muhammed some 35 years ago. Blessed with
four children and several grandchildren, the
couple shared their marital journey so far
with Kazeem Akintunde.
Where was the meeting point when the love
affair began?
We actually met during preparation towards
FESTAC 77. I was doing my Youth Service
with the organisers of FESTAC 77 and we
needed some School certificate holders as
protocol officers to work temporarily with us.
She was among those selected and from
there we started our relationship.
Was it love at first sight?
Alhaji Muhammed: For me yes. I liked her
immediately I set my eyes on her.
Madam: For me, I don’t think I had any
intention of looking for a boyfriend then but
along the line, we developed interest in each
other. I developed interest along the line
Was there any opposition then among your
parents?
Madam: From my own parents yes. I meant
so much to my mother and she wanted me
to marry an elderly person who will be able to
take good care of me. But fortunately, he
proved them wrong. He was able to take
good care of me when they were alive and
they were impressed.
When did you eventually became husband
and wife?
We got married in 1979. We met in 1976,
started working together in 1977 and we got
married in 1979 after about three years of
courtship.
How has it been since then?
Alhaji Muhammed. Let me first of all correct
the impression of the opposition from her
family. My father-in-law, from the day I met
him, gave me the go ahead; why, because
my first degree was in French and my father
in law spoke German and French fluently,
making it easy for me to buy him over, so to
say. The opposition like she said was from
her mother. Well, it was partly due to what
she said, we were very young but my late
mother-in-law also did not take kindly to her
daughter getting married to an Ara-Oke
(someone from the hinterland) but gradually,
my wife did most of the convincing and I am
happy that even though she did not stay with
us for a long period after we got married (she
died four years after),during the period that
she was still alive, after she made up her
mind for us to get married, my mother-in-
law became my pillar of support. I still
remember few years after we got married,
we wanted to buy a new car-that should be
around 1980/81; my wife and I were able to
put together about N4, 000 but the vehicle
cost about N6, 000. We went straight to my
mother-in-law and she gave us the balance.
I don’t even think we paid her back before
she died.
The car was a brand new 504 with Air-
condition. She used to cook for us when my
wife was working and she used to work late
and so my mother-in-law would cook for us.
There was a day my sister-in-law wanted to
take part of the stew; she insisted that the
stew was for Layi and that she could not
take from it. My father-in-law on the other
hand hit it off with me from day one. We have
been married for 35 years and it has been
beautiful. I have never regretted marrying
her and I will give you reasons. In 1982 I
came home one day and I told her that I
would be enrolling for a degree programme in
law; I told her that she should take good care
of the home front as I would be combining
my work with my studies and she
discharged the task creditably. Another time
when I was called to the bar and was still
new where I was working, I must have been
too outspoken and I felt the honourable thing
was to resign. I got home and told her that I
wanted to resign. I did not have any savings
then but told her that I would provide the
money for accommodation but that she
should not ask me for house allowance or
Children’s School fees until I had established
my own chamber. I actually asked her to give
me one year and it is to her credit that I
never knew how we ate throughout that
period. I thank God that within six months, I
was able to redeem what she had spent in
taking care of the home.
Furthermore, when I went into politics, I
started with Yomi Edu. We lost the primaries
before moving to AD and even at that she
gave her blessing. My wife has been very
supportive; we have gone through a lot
together. We have climbed to the top together
and also crashed together. When I was the
chief of staff in Lagos State, I was arguably
one of the most powerful people in the
cabinet and when I went to Kwara State to
run for governorship, she left everything to
be with me for a whole year during the
campaign. We lost the election. It was quite
tough, but she was there for me.
What was it like when you took her home to
your parents for the first time?
My parents were warm to her; they are very
broad-minded.
When the relationship was still very young,
what are those things you wanted to change
about your husband then?
Madam: He used to smoke and I told him I
don’t like it; he said that I should give him
some time and that he would eventually drop
the habit. At times he won’t smoke in my
presence but I could perceive the odour that
he was still smoking but with time, he was
able to drop the habit.
Was there any period when you caught him
with another lady?
No, he has been very faithful to me
Alhaji, was there anything you wanted to
change about your wife then?
There was nothing I wanted to change about
her. Agreed, there is no way a woman won’t
be a woman but when you have a wife who
is supportive, hardworking and always there
for you, what else can I ask for? One area
we do disagree is the fact that my wife wants
us to put money aside for the rainy day while
I want us to spend it, believing that tomorrow
will take care of itself. In retrospect, I think
she has been right and I have been wrong. I
don’t think I can marry any other person in
my life. infact I would gladly marry my wife
all over again. I have been in public life since
when I was chief of staff, we hardly spent
more than three hours together in a day but
my children were just growing up then.
When you have a wife who is the one that
remembers the birthday of the kids and
school visiting days, you will regard yourself
as been lucky. She has also been able to pull
my extended family together. They can
easily reach her faster than me. Many even
abandoned me by going directly to her
because they believed they will get results
faster than coming through me, and she will
tell me my children cannot be doing well and
those of my siblings are not; there would be
no peace, there won’t be any love. It is
something that gives me a lot of joy.
Marriage from where I come from is not just
between two people or two families, it is
between clans.
How many kids do you have and did you plan
to have that number of children?
Madam: we have four and they all came as
planned.
Most marriages don’t last these days
because women don’t want to submit
themselves to their husbands again. What
would be your advice to those ladies?
To the best of my knowledge one has to be
very close to his or her God, to the extent
that one must have a one on one relationship
with God; then women should be able to
persevere and have enough patience in their
marital life. I believe a woman should get
something doing. I don’t believe in full-time
house wife.
Do you have a pet name for your husband?
Yes I use his middle name
And what is his middle name?
Atanda
What about you Alhaji?
I call her mummy. (Madam chips in) I call
him daddy and he calls me mummy but when
I need anything from him, I call him Atanda
with a little bit of his Oriki.
Alhaji, one thing about my wife that I like is
that she is very prayerful. While I am snoring
in bed, she is always praying. Also, since we
got married, we have had our ups and downs
but we have never contemplated been apart
for one day or that we would fight and we
would now spend a day away from each
other. One thing she doesn’t like is that my
children and I conspire a lot. We started
doing that when she turned 50. All our
children are outside the country and I
decided that the best way to surprise her
was to have all the kids at home for her
birthday without her knowledge. I called all
the kids to be at home for her birthday but
that she should not be aware. Since she was
in the habit of calling them every day, it was
decided that the kids should hide their
caller’s identity so that she won’t know
where they are calling from and that they
must be the first to call her every day in the
morning. On the day of the party, I brought
the children in and when it was time to cut
the birthday cake I asked her to make a
wish. What would you wish for as you turn 50
and she answered and said that “I would be
happy if my children are with me” and I
asked her to close her eyes and that by the
time she opens them she would see her
children. She did and I asked the kids to
come in. She almost fainted. She was very
happy but surprised saying ‘how could you
do this to me?’
Alhaja, Do you still cook for your husband?
He is not always at home, but whenever he
is, I cook for him.
He is on a special diet and I do prepare it.
Alhaji, when was the last time you took your
wife out?
That must have been a long time ago. Ok, but
we still went out yesterday now.
Not to party just the two of you going out to
relax and have fun?
That would be about 30 years ago. Up till
1997 we usually travelled out for vacation
but after 1997, the next time was 2007. I
think it is something you should understand
now. After 1997, I took up the chief of staff
appointment, and then we went to Kwara for
my gubernatorial campaign and now fully the
job of spokesperson for the party. You know
at times, I used to wake up thinking that
where was I? Am I in Lagos, Abuja or where?
I must say though, that she has been there
for me. I would have loved to spend more
quality time with her but even when I needed
her, she would be outside the country to
spend some time

Dear Madam First Lady: I Lack The Patience To
Wait For Good Luck!
I am almajiri because I am from the North and one
of the products of the Polygamous family, if you
“hate” me, you don’t have to wait to a moment that
your husband needs my vote before you come with
your pretense.
I knew long ago that the killings in my region were
allowed to be because, you don’t like my face. So,
hold it, you don’t have to tell anyone to “stone” me
because of my political party affiliation, you can
use the soldiers to continue to kill me when they
come to polling units, on the basis that “Nigeria’s
economy is in your pocket”.
You are intoxicated not from the amount of beer
your husband drinks, but for the power that you
are enjoying.
Painfully, for all your utterances recently, you have
killed your husband politically.
Yours,
Almajiri (#myvotemyright)

TEXT OF PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY
STATE OF OSUN CHAIRMAN OF ALL PROGRESSIVES
CONGRESS, PRINCE GBOYEGA FAMODUN, AT THE
APC STATE SECRETARIAT ON FRIDAY 20 FEBRUARY,
2015 ON THE FAKE VIDEO BY PDP AND FEMI FANI-
KAYODE
All protocols duly observed.
I want to welcome gentlemen of the press to this
press conference called in response to one
addressed by Femi Fani-Kayode yesterday in which
he accused our party APC and our Presidential
candidate General Muhammad Buhari of being afraid
of defeat in the rescheduled March 28th election and
thus planning how the election will be rigged or
manipulated in his favour.
To our surprise, a fabricated video recording acted
and said to be part of a none existent rigging done
during the 2014 Osun Governorship Election was
shown in which some criminals were busy
thumbprinting purported ballot papers ostensibly to
confuse Nigerians and distract attention from PDP's
usual attempt to manipulate the electoral process.
It is unfortunate that the collaborative disposition of
the Nigerian security community, particularly the
Directorate of State Security and the Nigerian Police,
in allowing the PDP to again foist sinister agenda on
Nigerians as usual. This is because we have alerted
the Directorate of State Security and the Nigerian
Police of this evil agenda of PDP since November, 17
2014 when we got hold of the evil tape scripted by
the PDP.
Immediately, our party got a copy of the fake video
recording did a petition to the Directorate of State
Security (DSS) through our Lawyer Barr Daud
Akinloye in which we demanded an investigation into
the matter the outcome of which nobody briefed us
till date. A copy of this letter is now being made
available to gentlemen of the press. Also, print-out of
culled shots of characters in the tendentious video is
also being made available to the press so that they
may be apprehended by security operatives who
have refused to carry out their responsibilities to act
on the video containing the images of these
characters since November last year
For the avoidance of doubt, our party, through its
lawyer, alerted the Nigeria Police and the Directorate
of State Security as far back as November, 2014 as
follows:
“(c ) that our client have in their possession which is
hereby annexed the videotapes which was
purportedly recorded showing that Governorship
election that was conducted on 9th August, 2104
were rigged in favour and on behalf of our client and
her and the Governor .
(d) In the video tape it was falsely represented that
our client and the Governor- elect agents in
collaboration with some arranged persons that were
armed are thumbprinting ballot papers allegedly used
for the election for and on behalf of our client.
(e) that this is an attempt to blackmail our client that
the said election were rigged in favour of APC and
Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola in their mischievous and
clandestine bid to use same to proof (sic) by
evidence and show before the Tribunal and the public
at large that the election that was acknowledged as
the freest and fairest in the history of Nigeria was
rigged by the APC to earn the victory. The tape is
hereby attached for your perusal and investigation.”
Therefore, for the incorrigible and pathological liar,
Femi Fani-Kayode, to be referring to our party "as a
pot calling a kettle black" surprises us as we are
NEVER of the same make with PDP anytime, any day.
In our party APC, we are genuine and committed
democrats that will never do anything to circumvent
the electoral process or deny the electorate the right
to freely choose who they want to lead them. The
whole world knows that this is strange to the PDP as
they only believe in CAPTURING the people's will as
can be seen from the audio tape of the rigging efforts
of PDP in Ekiti with the collaboration of Nigerian
Military which has been admitted to include voices of
major PDP rigging characters like Ayo Fayose,
Musiliu and Obanikoro in the audio recording .
Our party, the APC, has said it times without number
and repeating it now that nobody should rig for us but
that a level playing ground should be created for the
people to cast their votes for parties of their choice
without intimidation, harassment or corrupt influence.
Even with the stolen billions of Naira brought into
Osun before the election by the PDP and the over
70,0000 security operatives on ground, Osun people
still showed they were Omoluabis by allowing their
conscience to dictate their preference for the people
friendly government of our party APC under the
leadership of Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola.
To the matter in contention, a closer assessment of
the fake and fabricated video clip shamelessly
displayed by Femi Fani-Kayode-Kayode will indicate
that that was the purported ballot papers being
thumbprinted are not the ballot paper used for our
governorship election in Osun. For comparative
analysis, we here present to you gentlemen of the
press the fake ballot papers by the impostors as
captured from the fake video clip and the original
ballot used by INEC in the said election. We should all
recall that during the sitting of the Election Petition
Tribunal over the petition brought by PDP before it,
both parties were given the right to inspect the
materials used for the election including ballot papers
and we scanned over 300,000 of the ballot papers
from which we now show scanned copies of real
images of ballot papers used for the election with
clear distinction from the fake ballot papers in the
tendentious video.
All ballot papers used during the election carries
INEC name on top, with a colour bar/code for each
local government followed by the name of election
and a serial number ALL these are absent from the
PDP ballot paper shown on the television. Also for
thumbprinting, INEC used BLACK Indellible ink and
not BLUE as seen in their fake ballot. Looking at the
arrangement of the parties on their ballot paper, it is
clearly different from that used for our election;
immediately following APC on the original INEC ballot
is APGA while their own paper reflects another party
and a total of four parties were missing from the fake
ballot.
Nigerians should note the PDP badly acted this
drama of theirs and we have seen through their evil
machination which they are playing up to cover up
their misdeed in the Ekiti Governorship Election the
audio tape of which we expect the President or
National Assembly to have ordered an investigation
into. After the 2011 General Election in Osun, it
should be recollected that the PDP played a similar
prank like this in Oriade/Obokun Federal
Constituency when they criminally influenced some
INEC staff to void some of the ballot papers used and
which are already in their custody after the
declaration of the result of the election.
Our party APC is a decent party peopled by
committed democrats that will never involve in
electoral offenses and the PDP should stop seeing us
as criminals like them. More astounding is the fact
that our party APC and PDP jointly conducted
inspection into all materials used in the election and
NO discrepancy was found. Also if the PDP are sure
of their facts, why didn't they tender this fabricated
tape at the tribunal?
We have resolved that since the PDP has no shame
other than to think they can deceive Nigerians, we
will not allow this matter to lie low.
We are therefore demanding for an independent
Judicial Commission of Inquiry into the entire process
leading to the Osun Election. We demand an
exposition of all that happened two weeks to the
election, the night before the election and on the day
of the election up to the announcement of election
result the following morning.
When this panel of enquiry is convoked, it must be
given the power to extract evidence from anybody
through invitation and that nobody must refuse to
appear before it. Failure by the President and
National Assembly to act on this within two weeks,
we will call on the on the governor, Ogbeni Rauf
Aregbesola, to take up the task of setting up of the
panel of enquiry without delay.
Finally, to put a stop to such reckless behavior in
future, our party will be instituting a libel suit against
Femi Fani-Kayode and his collaborators to teach
them a lesson that it is not everybody that has
crooked tendency like them.
We also challenge the Directorate of State Security
and the Nigeria Police to explain to Nigerians why
they have failed, refused and or neglected to
investigate and take necessary actions on the
petition by our party on this fake concoction of PDP
since November, 2014. Thank you.

Tamunoemi David-West, a professor and former
minister of petroleum and energy, has suggested
that President Goodluck Jonathan does not have a
doctorate degree from the University of Port
Harcourt as widely believed.
Ahead of the February 14 presidential election, one
of the popular comparisons of Jonathan with
Muhammadu Buhari, the two leading candidates, is
that the president possesses a doctorate degree
while his opponent does not even have a secondary
school leaving certificate.
But speaking in Asari Toru, Rivers state, at the
governorship campaign rally of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), David-West said that all efforts to
trace the thesis for which Jonathan was awarded
a Ph.D. in Zoology by the University of Port
Harcourt, had proved abortive.
David-West urged Rivers people to vote for Dakuku
Peterside, saying he had not lied about his
academic qualifications.
“Dakuku Peterside is God-fearing and without the
fear of God, we cannot move forward, both at the
state and federal level,” he said.
“Another reason is that I have discovered
Peterside’s thesis: Corporate Political Strategy, but I
have asked and I stand here on my honour, I have
asked people to look for the thesis of my brother
Jonathan and they have not found it.
“I sent another person and said ‘If you have not
found the thesis, go and look for the title’. He came
back to say, Oga I no see am .
“I am not saying that he lied but I want to see. I
have been a professor since 1974. If you say you
have Ph.D., the least I want from you is to give me
the thesis, which university and where you got it.
“My name is Tamuno, which means there is God. If
you are lying, there is God o . I advise our brother to
look for his shoes and leave. Why am I in love with
APC? It is because its members are God-fearing.
One of the problems with Nigeria is that there are
so many politicians but few statesmen.”

Nigeria and Mexico approached China for credit facility to rebuild their railway systems
(and other infrastructure). They both got the credits.

Look at what each country did with the money.

When do we stop celebrating mediocrity?

A major communal clash has
erupted between the people of
Ipetumodu and Asipa, two of the
six principal towns in Ife North
local government area of Osun
State.
PREMIUM TIMES gathered that
the two communities are battling
over land rights. Witnesses say
many lives were lost while
several houses were burnt on
Friday after fighting broke out.
The Osun state police public
relations officer, Folasade Odoro,
however, claimed no life was lost
while stating that the police have
stepped in to restore peace in the
kingdom.
“No death recorded, four building
burnt, police are fully on ground
containing the situation from
escalating and protecting lives
and property to restore normalcy
to the area,” she told PREMIUM
TIMES over the phone.
Residents of Okoko, a border
area of Ipetumodu have moved
out for fear of further attacks
from Asipa warriors.
It was gathered that trouble had
been building up between the
two towns for years now. At a
point, the people of Asipa barred
the Ipetus from trading at their
market. Consequently, the Ipetu
people had to establish their own
market at Akinola Junction on the
Ife-Ibadan highway.
Two politicians who spoke on
condition of anonymity said the
situation was grievous.
Indigenes of other towns –
Yakoyo, Moro, Edunabon and
Akinlalu can longer pass through
Asipa from Akinlalu Junction on the Ife –
Ibadan expressway. They now make detours
from Gbogan to Odeomu and Sekona.
Other traditional rulers in the local government
have waded into the festering matter before it
becomes intractable.
Some prominent traditional rulers in the area
including were said to have sent emissaries to
pacify the two towns.
This paper could not also confirm if the Osun
state government has stepped into the crisis as
efforts by PREMIUM TIMES to speak with the
Osun state commissioner for information,
Sunday Akere, and the spokesperson to the
Governor, Semiu Okanlawon were unsuccessful.
Calls placed to their telephone lines were
unreachable; messages sent were also not
responded to.
