President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated pioneer Chairman of the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), Chief Onyema Ugochukwu, who clocks 75.

Buhari, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Mr Femi Adesina, in Abuja on Saturday, commended Ugochukwu for serving the nation for many years as a journalist, administrator and adviser to many governments.

He felicitated with Ugochukwu, his family, friends, professional and political associates on the landmark age.

He said that age is ”heralded with many recognitions and achievements of loyalty and sacrifice for the nation, especially his foray into politics and visionary role in the setting up of the NDDC.”

The President saluted the veteran journalist for contributing to the vibrancy and dynamism of the Nigerian media, in spite of his background in Economics and working with the Central Bank of Nigeria.

He assured him that his experiences garnered from working for both local and international media outfits were most useful to the nation.

The President urged Ugochukwu to keep working for a greater Nigeria, praying that the almighty God would grant him longer life and good health.

Lovely

Ifemosu Adewale was recently expelled from the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta after posting an open letter to the vice-chancellor of the university on his Facebook page in which he complained about the happenings in the school. He tells LAWRENCE MIKE about his frustration

You made some allegations in an open letter to the vice-chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta which centered on transportation issues and indiscriminate arrest of students by the Special Anti-Robbery Squad of the police. What did you hope to achieve with your open letter?

To call the attention of the management to those issues so as to fix them so the students can be happy. Good transportation system and security are highly essential for any educational institution that wants to thrive.

You’re in 200 level but you’re already an activist as the convener of the Youths In Good Governance Initiative and also the Ogun State Secretary of the African Action Congress party. How did you get involved in all these?

I’m from Ogun State and I’m not as young as everybody thinks. I already graduated from the Federal College of Education, Abeokuta in 2013 with a Nigeria Certificate in Education. I started student unionism and activism there and held various positions and even vied for the post of the president of the students’ union. After the programme, I went to FUNAAB and ought to be in 300 level now but I changed courses because I didn’t like my former course. But I’m not in FUNAAB’s students’ union government.

Prior to your letter, did you make any attempt to get to the school authority like going through the SUG or dropping letters in the school’s suggestion box?

No, because they all know about the problems. Most yearnings of students that the union heard about were ignored. So I saw that as a waste of time because the things I pointed out were not things that were just happening. They have been going on for two years.
Do you think the SUG in your school has been compromised?

The reason for the establishment of the students’ union is to fight for the rights of students, but what is happening is contrary to that. Invariably, we can say it has been compromised.

According to your expulsion letter, you were invited to appear before a panel to substantiate some of the allegations you made and you couldn’t do so. Is that true?


No. That is false. The story was fabricated to make the media and the general public think I actually offended them. At the said meeting, I wasn’t given a fair hearing as I had my wedding on August 23 and a message was sent to me at exactly 4:05pm on August 28 to appear on August 29 (next day) by 1pm and I had already relocated to Omu-Aran in Kwara State. So I had to wake up very early just to be there in time. I got there before 1pm and didn’t face the panel till around 3pm. I was already exhausted and they didn’t allow me to express myself. They were throwing questions at me and even misquoted me.

One of the issues I mentioned had to do with transportation. I careful chose my words in the letter because I was not sure of the specific amount of money that was disbursed to that department but I’m sure for any department to work effectively, they need funding. I was constructively analysing my points in that letter, saying that if FUNAABOT (FUNAAB Bureau of Transport) is a department under FUNAAB, then definitely there’s going to be some funds disbursed to that office to run that department so they should account for the money. Are there no funds at all? Are the funds not enough?

We should know the problem so we can proffer solutions. That is what I analysed in that letter and I was sure I did not mention any amount of money. When I got to the Student Disciplinary Committee, they told me to bring documents asserting the amounts of money they had collected and I said, “Sir, I did not say in that letter that I knew it was N10m, I said monies. Monies can be N1, N2, N10 or N100m.”

The second issue I mentioned had to do with security. Do you know that just this week; some hostels in my school were robbed? Yes, it is common. Students can no longer walk or sleep with their eyes closed. The security officials will come and do theirs; armed robbers will come and do theirs. So, a lot of things happen there. Funnily enough, we have a divisional police station in front of the school. Why then is security not guaranteed? Then we should question it. That’s what I was talking about. But they pounced on me and changed everything.

If you check the letter of my expulsion, they started by stating that I had been charged for posting on the Internet but what they actually expelled me for was insubordination. Now let’s ask ourselves a question, if I have actually defamed the character of the institution or made libellous statements against the image of the institution, they should sue me for defamation, and not expel me. I checked the meaning of insubordination, it says: “Not paying respect to a lawful authority.” That means you actually expelled me because I did not respect you. I even checked the school’s code of conduct and the greatest offence should get you suspended for a semester or at most two semesters. A letter of expulsion doesn’t make any sense. Those things were just concocted lies.

Don’t you think suing the school will be difficult as it will cost you money?

By the special grace of God and with His support, it’s not about being proud or boasting about anything, I already have more than 10 Senior Advocates of Nigeria that are interested in this case; SERAP just joined and Social Intervention Advocacy Foundation is also there. It will be justice for all Nigerian students, not for Ifemosu Adewale.

Are you disappointed with the way things turned out?

I’m very disappointed. How would an open letter written to call the attention of the management to the plights of students be tantamount to expulsion? It is appalling that of all offences, all what they could expel me for is insubordination!

Do you regret posting the letter on Facebook?

Not at all. The only regret I have is that I should have called their attention to more things. It was borne out of what I encountered, I was not writing on behalf of some people. I wrote it because I was a victim.

How did your parents and family react to the news of your expulsion?

They are the best parents. They know my cause and what I stand for. They have been highly supportive.

Right in the office after receiving my expulsion letter, the first person I called was my wife and the only thing she said was “it is well” and then told me to return home. My wife is the best thing I have in this life. After that, I called my mum. She asked me just three questions: Did they expel you for rape? I said no. Was it for examination malpractice? I said no. Were you expelled for engaging in cult-related activities? I said no. She said you were expelled for a just cause you believe in and you should be proud of yourself. She begged me not to think about it and prayed for me. That was when I knew I had the best family in the world.

So what’s your next line of action?

To follow the due process to get back in school.

And if you’re not?

Nothing can be done to the truth but for the truth. It will be in history that democracy and human rights were buried during the administration that expelled me. I ask myself: “Is this a good history to write?”

Will you consider starting afresh elsewhere if all efforts prove to be abortive?

In this life, we can only move forward.

The Yoruba Council of Elders has advised Vice President Yemi Osinbajo against resigning his position because of the alleged war against him by a cabal in the Presidency.

The Yoruba elders also advised President Muhammadu Buhari to remember Osinbajo’s loyalty to him and refuse to be used by some power against his Vice President.

The Secretary General of the YCE, Dr Kunle Olajide, said this in an interview with Saturday PUNCH in Lagos on Friday.

Olajide said it was obvious that some persons were “seriously” working against the Vice President, saying the 2023 presidential ambition of some of Osinbajo’s persecutors was the reason for doing this.

The YCE scribe said, “We know like other Nigerians that there are enough signs that some people are working against Osinbajo but who the people are, I don’t know.

“It is obvious that some people are working against him and unfortunately, it appears as if Mr President is dancing to their tune.

“I will urge Mr President to remember the Vice President’s loyalty to him in the past four years, especially when he was out of the country for three months and refused to allow unguarded ambition to push him.”

Olajide said the elders’ council did not support the advice given by some people to Osinbajo to resign his position.

“President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo hold the ticket together. Both of them were elected on a joint ticket, so Osinbajo should not resign,” he said.

He urged the Vice President to remain loyal to the President and serve the country “patriotically.”

He said, “Osinbajo should remain god-fearing and people-centred in his activities and in the end, he will be vindicated.

“No matter the motivation of some 2023 presidential aspirants against him, he should remain steadfast in what he is doing in the past four years that are acceptable to Nigerians and to God.”

Meanwhile, the Presidency on Friday admitted that President Muhammadu Buhari ordered the sacking of some aides to Osinbajo.

It came after days of silence from the President’s office and barely 24 hours after the VP’s aide denied that any Osinbajo aide was sacked.

The Presidency stated that the aides were sacked as part of the ongoing overhauling in the seat of government to cut costs.

A State House statement by Buhari’s Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Mr Garba Shehu, which officially confirmed the sacking, denied that the exercise was targeted at Osinbajo or that there existed any rift between Buhari and Osinbajo.

The statement read, “The Presidency wishes to confirm that there is an ongoing unprecedented overhaul of the nation’s seat of government, arising from which a number of political appointments have either been revoked or not renewed in the second term.

“The exercise, which has been ordered by the President, is to streamline decision-making, cut down multiple authorities and reduce the cost of administration.

“It is also an appropriate response to the general perception that the Presidency has an oversized and bloated workforce which acts as a drag on efficiency.”

It added, “As may have been noticed by discerning members of the public, a number of political appointees among the few that served in the office of the President were not returned for the second term.

“The office of the Vice President, His Excellency, Yemi Osinbajo, has, in compliance with the directive of the President, equally been shed of a number of such appointees.

“In carrying out these exercises, the overriding objective is to save taxpayers’ money and deliver the needed service to the public. As far as the President is concerned, there is no scope for an excuse for administration after getting a huge mandate to run the country for four more years.”

Denying that rift existed between Buhari and Osinbajo, the Presidency insisted that their relationship remained cordial.

He said, “In the light of this, the Presidency wishes to strongly deny rumours of a rift between President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo. The relationship between the two leaders remains excellent and trusting. Together, they will script a glorious future for the nation.

“The media reports of a sour relationship are originating from the minds and mouths of mischief-makers, who are desperate for entertaining stories from the Aso Rock Villa with which to titillate the public. This ulterior motive is the basis of the wrong interpretation given to the recent exercise in the Presidency.

“There has been a streamlining of staff going on for a while. The President has always had fewer members of staff than the Vice-President, and there were always plans to reduce the number of staff at the Villa.”

The VP’s spokesperson, Mr Laolu Akande, had, in his comment on Thursday, dismissed the sacking of 35 of his boss’s aides.

“A list circulating in the media on the so-called sacked presidential aides is not genuine and ought to be ignored,” he had said.
