A Lagos-based lawyer, Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, has urged the Nigerian Senate to declare the office of the president vacant and constitute a medical panel of experts to examine the health status of Muhammadu Buhari in order to determine if he can still continue to function in office. In a statement on Tuesday, Mr. Adegboruwa said the Constitution anticipates a fit and proper chief executive, to run the affairs of Nigeria. “Since I personally got to know of the ill health of General Buhari, I’ve changed a lot of my views concerning his government,” said Mr. Adegboruwa. “We are all human after all, and no one can play God or rejoice over another man on account of his ill health. I then decided to pray for the President and also to lie low, in respect of my usual assessment of his policies, in order to give him enough time to fully recover. “But hard as I tried, I couldn’t just convince Uncle Lai Mohammed or any other member of General Buhari’s cabinet, to publicly admit to the people of Nigeria that the President is truly and seriously sick, as sick could be, even though I personally know the true position. “On account purely of his ill health, the President has not been performing his official duties, he has not been able to preside over the Federal Executive Council and he has not been seen in public for about two weeks now,” he said. Mr. Buhari’s health condition has continued to be a subject of speculation among Nigerians, especially following the president’s absence from last week’s weekly Federal Executive Council meeting for the third time in a row. Explaining Mr. Buhari’s continued absence, Nigeria’s Information minister, Lai Mohammed, said the president was “resting.” Last Friday, Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, urged Mr. Buhari to make public his state of health. Nigerian civil society leaders, including notable lawyer, Femi Falana, on Monday called on Mr. Buhari to immediately take a medical leave to attend to his health. But in his statement on Tuesday, Mr. Adegboruwa disagreed with the suggestion that Mr. Buhari should immediately embark on a medical leave; instead he called on the Senate to swear in the vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, as acting president. “We cannot continue in this fashion whereby a cabal has taken over the affairs of Nigeria, causing great panic in the land, purely for their own selfish ends. Enough is enough,” Mr. Adegboruwa said. “It is based on the foregoing that I find it hard to align with activists, who seem to suggest that all that the President needs presently is a medical vacation and begging him to so proceed. “That cannot be the option before our great nation, with all due respect to these patriots. Somebody capable, fit and proper, must be in charge of Nigeria, not a cabal. And our nation cannot be ruled by proxy, through a cabal that was not elected into office. “Where on earth did the activists meet with the President, to know that he is sick and deserves a medical vacation? Has any of them been privy to know his health status? Just yesterday, Nigerians were being insulted by the aides of the President that he is so fit and healthy that he will contest and win the 2019 election, when I know that there are ministers and aides who have never ever spent as much as 20 minutes with the President, since they were appointed. “We do not need to wait for the Yar’adua scenario before we take steps to save the President from himself and his handlers.” http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/230159-lawyer-urges-senate-swear-osinbajo-acting-president.html

The Senate, on Tuesday, suspended passage of the conference report on the Nigerian Peace Corps Bill, over the allegation of fraud in the recruitment exercise by the organisation which is being prosecuted in a court. The bill sharply divided senators at the plenary. Both the Senate and the House of Representatives had separately passed the bill before the harmonisation of its provisions. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/senate-drops-nigerian-peace-corps-bill/ |
—Some prominent Nigerians, including Femi Falana, human rights lawyer, have advised President Muhammadu Buhari to seek urgent medical leave. Buhari returned from the UK, where he was on medical vacation, on March 10 and since his return, he has only made a few public appearances, fuelling speculations about his health. In a statement issued yesterday, the activists told the President Buhari to take the advice of his personal physician and take some time to attend to his health. Apart from Falana, those who signed the statement are Debo Adeniran, an activist; Jibrin Ibrahim, an academic; Adetokunboh Mumuni, executive director of SERAP; Shina Odugbemi, programme manager of the Democracy Vanguard, a non-governmental organisation; Chris Kwaja, a lecturer and researcher and Y.Z. Ya’u, director Centre for Information Techology and Development in Nigeria, CITAD. Others are: Chom Bagu, a pro-democracy activist; Olanrewaju Suraj, the Civil Society Network Against Corruption, CSNAC; Ezenwa Nwagu, a community development expert; Awwal Rafsanjani, excutive director of Civil Society Legislative Advocacy Centre, CISLAC; David Ugolor, an environmental activist, and Mohammed Attah, National Coordinator, Procurement Observation and Advocacy Initiative, PRADIN. The statement read: “When President Muhammadu Buhari was recently in the United Kingdom on a medical vacation, which lasted 49 days, many public officers said that he was ‘hale and hearty.’ But upon his return to the country, President Buhari disclosed that he had never been that sick in his entire life. Nature of ailment “Even though the president did not disclose the nature of his ailment, he revealed that he went through blood transfusion. While thanking the Nigerian people for their prayers, the president announced that he might soon travel back for further medical treatment. “A few weeks ago, the governor of Kaduna state, Mr Nasir El-Rufai urged Nigerians to give President Buhari time to recover from his sickness. The plea was made after the governor had visited and presumably assessed the state of the president at the presidential villa in Abuja. “However, due to the apparent deterioration in the president’s health condition, he has neither been seen in public in the last one week nor attended the last two meetings of the federal executive council. His absence at the last Jumat service in the villa has fuelled further speculations and rumours on President Buhari’s medical condition. The statement said rather than update Nigerians on the state of Buhari’s health, government officials have been saying: “there is no need for apprehension over the matter.” “Instead of embarking on regular briefing on the actual state of the health of President Buhari, officials of the federal government have continued to assure the Nigerian people. “In defending the absence of the president at the last FEC meeting and other state functions, the senior special assistant to the president on media and publicity, Mr Garba Shehu stated that ‘the president’s doctors have advised on his taking things slowly, as he fully recovers from the long period of treatment in the United Kingdom some weeks ago’. “As we join the Nigerian people of goodwill to pray for a speedy recovery of President Buhari, we are compelled to advise him to heed the advice of his personal physicians by taking a rest to attend to his health without any further delay.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/activists-urge-buhari-take-urgent-medical-leave/ |
The police in Kano have given an official reason for the arrest of the former governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido. The police spokesperson, Samba Sokoto, said Mr. Lamido was arrested for making statements capable of inciting violence. Mr. Sokoto said the ex-governor’s alleged offence is contrary to Section 114 of the penal code. He said investigations are ongoing and that Mr. Lamido would be charged to court at the end of the investigations. The deputy superintendent of police said the investigation was triggered by a petition received on April 27 from the Jigawa State government against the former governor, who was accused of asking his supporters to resort to violence if the July 1 local government elections did not go their way. The police spokesperson said Kayode Aderanti, the assistant inspector general of police in charge of the Kano Zone One, promised to be just in the conduct of the investigations. PREMIUM TIMES obtained the original petition sent by Ikenna Ekpunobim, counsel to Governor Abubakar Badaru of Jigawa. The petitioner translated, from Hausa, statements allegedly made by Mr. Lamido at a PDP meeting in Dutse, Jigawa State. “Before the election I will make every one of you swear with his life to protect our cause. No matter what, I will not listen to you for complaining. All I want is to come for your bail in the police station breaking another person’s head or you fought someone because the administration belongs to mad people,” the former governor was alleged to have said. After his arrest earlier on Sunday, Mr. Lamido’s houses in Kano and Jigawa were searched by separate teams of police officers. While a police source confirmed to PREMIUM TIMES that nothing incriminating was found in the Kano home, details of the Jigawa search have not been made known. Mr. Lamido was still at the SIB department of the Zone One police command as at 10:30 p.m. on Sunday night, an indication he could spend the night with the police. His sons and several other political aides including his security details were seen with him all waiting for the actions of the police. One of his political associates, Dahiru Kera, told PREMIUM TIMES the governor was told to wait for the AIG, Mr. Aderanti, before a decision would be taken on whether or not he would be released on bail. Mr. Kera, like other associates of Mr. Lamido, said the former governor was only being victimised for being an opposition leader. Mr. Lamido may be charged to court on Tuesday after Monday’s public holiday. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/230064-arrested-sule-lamido-nigeria-police.html |

The statement was jointly signed by the state Chairman of the NLC, Mr Onu Edoka and his TUC counterpart, Mr Ranti Ojo. According to unions, the non-payment of salary to a large number of workers and pensioners over the past 14 months has destroyed the civil service and the workforce of the state.

President Muhammadu Buhari has further extended the tenure of embattled Permanent Secretary in the Federal Ministry of Education, Jamila Shu’ara, to 2018. The extension of Shuára’s appointment, who retired from service last year, is in defiance of a resolution passed by the House of Representatives Committee on Basic Education, asking the embattled official to refund all the emoluments she received in the past one year and return to her home with immediate effect. To worsen matters for the woman, who did not appear before the committee when summoned, the tenure extension letter purportedly written by President Buhari, was not produced when requested by the lawmakers, thereby setting the Minister of Education, Mallam Adamu Adamu, and Head of Civil Service of the Federation, Winifred Oyo-Ita, who appeared on her behalf, on collision course with the legislators. Oyo-Ita, who signed the first memo extending Shu’ara’s tenure on February 24, 2016, could not, however, produce the instrument from the Presidency authorising her to write such a letter, which the lawmakers considered illegal and untenable under the nation’s scheme of things. However, in a very bizarre fashion that may rattle both the lawmakers and Nigerians, the Presidency has issued a new extension letter to Shu’ara to return to office, after she had left surreptitiously following the threat from the lawmakers to arrest her if she does not show up. The new letter signed by Head of Service of the Federation, Mrs. Winifred Oyo-Ita, and dated March 29, 2017, formally recalls her from retirement and effectively extends her tenure to February 16, 2018. The three-paragraphed letter read: “This is to inform you that His Excellency, President Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR, in line with the provisions of Section 171 (2) (d) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, vide letter reference No. SH/COS/100/A/1541, extended your retirement period by one (1) year with effect from February 17, 2017. “Consequent upon this, your emoluments and other conditions of service will remain sustained up to 16th February, 2018 in a special dispensation, which should not be cited as policy. “Please accept my congratulations and best regard on the extension of your retirement period,” Oyo-Ita wrote, indicating that the authority to do so emanated from Chief of Staff to the President. It was learnt that the lawmakers, who got wind of Shua’ara’s fresh recall letter last week, were patiently waiting for the retired Permanent Secretary to make any move to return to the Ministry of Education before slamming Buhari and the Head of Service for trying to turn the law on its head on account of a retired worker, when others have been denied promotion on account of inadequate vacancies. Neither the Chairman of the Education Committee in the House of Representatives, Zakari Mohammed, nor his deputy, Emeka Anuho, could be reached for comments on the latest memo written by the Presidency to the embattled retiree. http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/buhari-extends-education-perm-sec-shuaras-tenure-till-2018/ |

Jeremiah Okorodudu, a former boxing champion, has revealed how boxing rave of the moment, Anthony Joshua, was rejected by Nigerian boxing officials nine years ago. Joshua caught global attention and became a darling of boxing fans Saturday night after he humiliated Wladimir Klitschko, at the Wembley Stadium in England. Speaking with UK Sun, Okorodud recalled that nine years back, Joshua’s efforts to represent Nigeria at the 2008 Olympic Games were futile as the Nigerian boxing officials turned him down. He said, “Joshua was in Nigeria once to connect with his roots and I think that was in 2007. “He wanted a chance to compete for trials ahead of the 2008 Beijing Olympics qualifiers, but he was denied and not given a chance. “Disappointed, he went back to England to represent Great Britain. “He went on to win a gold that could have been a first for Nigeria at the Olympics. “If only they had allowed him to compete for Nigeria, that gold would have been a Nigerian gold and not Great Britain’s.” Another Nigeria coach at the time, Adegboyega Adeniji-Adele also confirmed the fact that Joshua was at the Nigerian camp. “Oluwafemi Olaseni Joshua is his name and his family come from Ogun state in Nigeria,” he said. “When he visited, his intention was to represent Nigeria at the Olympics but he was denied in the trials. He had no other option than to go to Britain. “It’s Nigeria’s loss, Britain’s gain. Personally, I feel sad that they let him go and those people should be made to explain why it was impossible to give him a chance.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2017/05/nigerian-boxing-officials-rejected-anthony-joshua/

Minister of Transport and former Rivers state governor, Rotimi Amaechi says President Buhari is healthy enough to run for a second term in office come 2019. Amaechi said this while responding to questions in a recent interview with Channels TV. “If you look at the president since he came to the country, you will see there is a huge improvement. He’s regaining his weight. This is a 74-year old man, he is no longer a 58 years old man. He is not 50. He is not a young man. I will advise that he should. The president is fit enough to govern and if he makes the decision to run again, if he does, I don't think there is anything wrong in supporting him"he said |

President Muhammadu Buhari was on Friday absent at the Juma’at service held inside the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The President has been joining Muslim faithful for the prayers inside a mosque near his office since he stopped attending the service at the National Mosque, Abuja. Three state governors who apparently planned to join Buhari for the prayers were however present. The governors who attended the prayer session included Ibikunle Amosun (Ogun); Abdulaziz Yari (Zamfara); and Abdullahi Ganduje (Kano). The governors had on Thursday joined their colleagues for a meeting of the National Economic Council at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. No official reason has been given for Buhari’s absence at the prayer session at the time of filing this report. It will, however, be recalled that the Presidency had on Thursday said as eager as the President wanted to be up and about, his doctors had advised him to take things slowly. http://www.reubenabati.com.ng/index.php/news-k2/item/1457-buhari-absent-as-three-governors-observe-jumat-in-aso-rock-mosque |
