As the debate on whether or not to remove the National
Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji
Bamanga Tukur, continued, PDP governors met in Abuja
on Thursday to further deliberate on the matter.
In an apparent reference to the meeting, Tukur has
appealed to the members of the party, especially the
governors, to eschew bitterness and embrace
forgiveness.
Investigations by our correspondent in Abuja on
Wednesday showed that the meeting by the governors,
which was still on as of the time of filing this report
(11.25pm) would discuss how to deal with the numerous
crises affecting the PDP and how to tackle them,
especially with the challenge coming from the major
opposition party, the All Progressives Congress ahead of
the 2015 elections.
A source close to the party’s top hierarchy told our
correspondent that the governors would want to handle
the issue of whether to remove Tukur or not once and
for all.
He said, “The meeting by the governors would decide
whether to remove Tukur or not and those likely to
succeed him. The governors are not happy with the
runnings of the party at all.”
Meanwhile, Tukur in a statement by his Special Assistant
on Media, Mr. Oliver Okpala, has appealed to members
of the party to learn to live together in peace.
He said this in his message to Nigerians as they prepare
for the celebration of Christmas and New Year
festivities.
He said, “While wishing Nigerians, particularly Christians
the best of the Christmas festivities and prosperous
New Year, may I utilise this opportunity to stress the
urgent need for Nigerians to use this period to seek the
face and intervention of God in institutionalising
brotherly care and peace both in our polity and dear
country Nigeria.
“I call on all Nigerians irrespective of tribe, religion or
ethnic affiliation to henceforth see their fellow Nigerians
as their brothers and sisters belonging to one corporate
entity known as Nigeria.
“I further entreat Nigerians to eschew bitterness,
rancour and acrimony in their social, political and
economic dealings with fellow Nigerians.”

The Ijaw Republican Assembly has condemned the letter
sent to President Goodluck Jonathan by former
President Olusegun Obasanjo, describing it as an attack
on the oil-producing South-South geopolitical zone.
The spokesperson of the Ijaw group, Annkio Briggs, in
an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH said by writing the
letter, Obasanjo sought to throw Nigeria into turmoil
and turn around to blame Jonathan for it.
Briggs said the letter was born out of Obasanjo’s
frustration due to Jonathan’s refusal to allow him rule
the country indirectly.
She said, “It is really sad for Obasanjo to have written
such a letter to Jonathan. I find it such a pity that a man
like Obasanjo can at this particular time want to throw
Nigeria into turmoil, because his letter was not just an
attack on Jonathan as a person but an attack on the
South-South, and our right to produce a President. This
is the way we are looking at it from the Niger Delta.”
The group accused Obasanjo of throwing the PDP into
disarray, adding that the former President was not in a
position to accuse Jonathan of corruption.
The group also warned that if Jonathan was not allowed
to contest for a second term in 2015, the people of the
Niger Delta would ensure that other regions of the
country do not get the proceeds of the oil and gas in the
region.
Also, on Friday, the Niger Delta Youth Administrative
Council flayed former President Olusegun Obasanjo for
allegedly writing a derogatory letter to President
Goodluck Jonathan, describing the letter as a distraction
to the Federal Government.
A member of the council, Marvin Yobana, who spoke on
behalf of the council in Abuja on Friday stated that
Obasanjo had no moral justification to ask Jonathan not
to contest for re-election in 2015.
Yobana, who is the African representative in World
Association of Youths, stated that Obasanjo should
tread the path of reconciliation and statesmanship like
the late South African President, Nelson Mandela,
instead of writing letters capable of over-heating the
polity.
The youth leader admitted that the former president
had the right to advise Jonathan, but noted that his
letter should not be sensational or derogatory. He
stressed that he should rather support the current
administration to actualise its goals of generating
employment and reforming the power sector, among
others.
The National Coordinator, North Central/South-East of
the Niger Delta Peoples’ Volunteer Force, Emmanuel
Amakiri, who also reacted to Obasanjo’s letter to
President Jonathan, pleaded with the former leader not
to overheat the polity with politically hostile words,
noting that the decision to seek re-election belonged to
Jonathan and the Nigerian electorate.
He said, “Obasanjo was instrumental to Jonathan’s
emergence as president and he is therefore expected to
interface with those pressuring Jonathan not to contest,
instead of trying to stop the President from contesting
for re-election. We plead with Obasanjo to look at the
issue with equity and fairness and stop overheating the
polity with provocative letters.”
In an eight-page letter to Jonathan, Obasanjo criticised
the present administration, accusing the President of
being ineffective in governance and fighting corruption,
and also allowing himself to be possessed by some
people of the Ijaw nationality.

The National Assembly has said President Goodluck
Jonathan must “comprehensively” address issues raised
by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his letter to
him (the President).
The two chambers said this on Friday in their separate
reactions to the controversial letter written by Obasanjo
to Jonathan.
But while there are indications that the House of
Representatives would, this week, raise a motion on the
letter, the Senate stated that it would wait for Jonathan’s
response before taking any action.
Obasanjo had in the 18-page letter accused Jonathan of
condoning corruption and engaging in acts that were
capable of destroying the country.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Rules and
Business, Senator Ita Enang, in an interview with one of
our correspondents on Friday in Abuja, said Jonathan
should address the issues raised by Obasanjo in the
letter in due time to avoid tension.
He said, “The letter by Obasanjo touches on national
security and all the issues raised therein cannot be
ignored. President Jonathan has a duty of taking the
issues raised in the letter, one after the other and
explaining his side of the story to Nigerians”
Enang was of the view that the legislature cannot take
action on the letter until an appropriate response from
the Presidency had been made.
He said, “As it is, no legislative action can be taken
unless the issue had been raised as a motion after
appropriate responses had been made by the
presidency in reaction to the allegation.”
Also, the Minority Whip, who is also a prominent leader
of the opposition in the Senate, Senator Ganiyu
Solomon, admitted that the issues raised by Obasanjo
were capable of heating up the polity and causing
serious tension.
He said, “All issues raised are very sensitive and
germane. The Presidency cannot just dismiss the letter
just like that. They should give full explanation. It is not a
beer parlour talk.
“Asking us to investigate it at the National Assembly
level may not achieve the desired result. Any
responsible government owes the citizenry the
responsibility of letting the world know the true position
of things.
“The sensitive issues raised by Obasanjo are enough to
make us to shiver as a nation. A situation when a former
President for eight years is saying the symbol of the
ruling party has performed woefully called for a serious
action.”
On their part, members of the House of Representatives
said it would serve Jonathan’s interest and the interest
of the nation for him to respond “urgently” to the
allegations of Obasanjo.
The lawmakers said silence on the allegations would be
“dangerous” and that delay could “give political forces
the opportunity to heat up the polity.”
Speaking on the issue, the Chairman, House Committee
on Media and Public Affairs, Mr. Zakari Mohammed,
said the House was vindicated by Obasanjo’s letter.
He said since June 2011, the House had always fought
corruption, cautioned the executive, demanded details
of budget implementation, but made little progress.
Mohammed said, “These are very serious, dangerous
allegations and we should not look at the messenger but
the message.”
On whether the House would conduct a probe
specifically into the content of the letter, Mohammed
stated that the House would continue to perform its
duty of exposing corruption.
“It is not just about the letter, but we will continue to
conduct investigations; we have a job to do and we will
continue to do it,” he added.
Commenting in a similar vein, the Minority Leader of the
House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila, told SUNDAY PUNCH
that “Jonathan must respond to the weighty allegations.”
According to him, some of the allegations “are almost
satanic” and did not fall in the category of issues the
ruling PDP usually wished away as “PDP family affairs.”
Gbajabiamila, who is the caucus leader of the All
Progressives Congress at the House, noted that the
allegations on security training and placing some people
on security watch list were “grave and must not be
wished away.”
He stated that members were still studying the letter
and would likely raise motions on the floor next week.
“There are aspects of these allegations having to do with
national security.
“In the coming week, members may want to ask more
questions on these security allegations, like placing
people on a watch list,” he added.

At least four people were killed and more than 100
houses burnt down on Saturday when members of the
Boko Haram, attacked Arboko village behind Gwoza hills
in Borno State.
The gunmen were said to have launched the attack
around 2:30 am on Saturday and overran the villages
before dawn. The village is said to be inhabited by a tiny
Christian minority.
Executive Director, Stefanos Foundation, Mr. Mark
Lipdo, said in a text message on Saturday that cries by
the villagers for help did not yield any fruit, until they
were completely overrun by the gunmen.
He said, “Reports just coming in now around 2:30 am
says Arboko community of Gwoza, Borno state is
presently under attack. Sources said houses are now on
fire. Villages behind Gwoza hills said their plea for
soldiers to protect them has not been heeded and these
majority Christian communities have continued to come
under attack”
He added, “Latest report says four people were killed
and over 100 houses burnt in the attack.”
When our correspondent contacted the Director,
Defence Information, Brig. Gen Chris Olukolade, he said
that he had not received a situation report on the attack
and would not be in a position to confirm and deny it.
“I have not got any situation report on the attack you
are talking about and would not be in a position to
confirm or deny,” he said.

Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), said on
Thursday that President Goodluck Jonathan should
address the allegations levelled against him by former
President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Obasanjo, in a letter to Jonathan dated December 2 but
leaked to the media on Wednesday, had among others,
accused Jonathan of incompetence, abuse of office,
corruption and gross mismanagement of the resources
of the nation.
Falana said in a statement on Thursday that while
Obasanjo’s allegations against the President must not
be swept under the carpet, the ex-President lacked the
moral authority to tutor Jonathan on any of the subjects
raised.
“No doubt, the allegations which lacerated the
controversial letter are weighty. Instead of dismissing
the contents of the letter the Presidency should respond
to the allegations raised therein seriatim. In particular,
the allegation that the Federal Government is setting up
a Presidential Strike Force to carry out terrorist attacks
on political opponents should not be swept under the
carpet,” Falana said.
The rights lawyer, who picked hole in Obasanjo’s 18-
page letter, urged Nigerians to take advantage “of the
intra-class war going on in the ruling party to get
organised and take their political destiny in their own
hands.”
He said, “However, it is pertinent to point out that
President Jonathan is a faithful student of the Olusegun
Obasanjo School of Politics. While President Jonathan
has been accused by Gen. Obasanjo of diverting $7bn
from the Federation Account he (President Obasanjo)
has yet to account for the over $20bn which he diverted
from the same account.
“The 36 state governments sued the Federal
Government over the illegal diversion of such huge
public fund by President Obasanjo and the case is
currently pending at the Supreme Court.”
Among other wrongs which Falana said Obasanjo had
equally committed as President like Jonathan were
mismanagement of federation account, disloyalty to his
(Obasanjo’s) ruling party, aiding corrupt persons and
opposition to national conference.
However, a former Deputy National Publicity Secretary
of the Peoples Democratic Party, Alhaji Raheem
Adedoyin, has urged President Jonathan to address the
issues raised by Obasanjo.
Adedoyin during a media briefing in Ilorin on Thursday
on his defection to the All Progressives Congress said
many people including the G-7 governors had raised the
alarm over the alleged rising corruption under
Jonathan’s administration.
“President Jonathan has to look at the issues that Chief
Obasanjo noted and address them. It is okay that
President Jonathan has directed that there should not
be media war with Obasanjo over his letter.
“He has leveled specific allegations, Jonathan should
take those allegations one by one and dismiss them.
That is what Nigerians are waiting for now. I am not
saying that Chief Obasanjo is wrong or right but he has
enough weight for whatever he says to command
attention.
“It is not just what you can waive aside and say that
Obasanjo is against us. That is not the issue. The issue is
that he has raised specific concerns and President
Jonathan must address those concerns,” Adedoyin said.

The Excess Crude Account, which has dropped to $3.3bn
in recent times, may deplete further to $2.5bn as soon
as certain payments are made to the oil sector, the
Minister of Finance, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said on
Monday.
While speaking on the performance of the economy at a
breakfast meeting organised by the Nigerian Economic
Summit Group in Lagos on Monday, Okonjo-Iweala
argued that the huge drop in the ECA was necessary in
order to shore up the economy
She said, “The Foreign reserves have dropped to about
$44bn. The Excess Crude Account has dropped to about
$3.3bn. And what is that? It means that when certain
payments are made to the oil sector, we expect it to go
down to about $2.5bn.
“It means a huge amount has to drop from the Excess
Crude Account to be able to shore up the economy.”
Concerns have mounted in recent times over the
depleting rate of the foreign reserves and the ECA.
The Federal Government had recently withdrawn $1bn
(N160bn) from the ECA, bringing the balance to $3.59bn.
President Goodluck Jonathan approved the withdrawal
to augment the shortfall in revenue to the Federation
Account. The amount in the account as of the beginning
of this year was about $10bn.
The country had experienced persistent decline in oil
revenue owing to theft and pipeline vandalism. The
government had said if crude oil theft continued,
revenue loss this year could rise to $12bn.
Okonjo-Iweala told the audience at the NESG meeting
that the economy was doing well, stating that the
International Monetary Fund’s Article 14 Consultation
Result, which has just been released, indicated that the
Nigeria’s “economy has continued to perform very well
into the third quarter of 2013.”
She, however, said the growth witnessed in the
economy was mainly driven by the non-oil sector, which
contributed about 87.50 per cent to the Gross Domestic
Product in the third quarter, while the oil sector
contributed only 12.50 per cent.
Some of the sectors that have contributed to the growth
of the economy, according to her, are
telecommunications, 24.42 per cent; manufacturing,
8.16 per cent; building and construction, 14.6 per cent;
real estate, 10.35 per cent; and agriculture, five per cent.
The minister emphasised that inflation was 7.8 per cent
at the end of October, showing a continual downward
trend for the 10th consecutive month, down from 12.3
per cent in December 2012.
She added that the naira to the dollar exchange rate had
also remained fairly stable, currently standing at N155.2
to a dollar.
Okonjo-Iweala admitted that the economy was growing
but not creating enough jobs, adding that there were
two major challenges facing the economy.
According to her, the economy needs to grow at about
nine or 10 per cent rate to be able to drive job growths
needed to push the economy forward.
As a result, she said some policies would be put in place
to drive growth in certain sectors of the economy.
Secondly, she said inequality was rising among the
citizenry, pointing out that only 10 per cent of the
population were benefitting from the economy growth
created so far.
She gave the assurance that the government would
remove structural bottlenecks in the way of the private
sector to pave the way for more job creation.
On the 2014 budget, the minister said the government
would implement a fairly tight budget in 2014.
She added, “The oil benchmark proposal is $74 per
barrel. We want the National Assembly to push it to
$76.5. We did $79 last year; 2014 will be challenging
because of the elections. If we don’t make it tight, the
elections will unravel all the macroeconomic stability we
have achieved so far.”

Striking lecturers in the nation’s public universities on
Monday made good their decision not to return to work
as directed by the Federal Government.
The striking teachers also refused to sign the attendance
registers in their respective institutions as ordered by
the government.
They said they were only waiting for the sack letters the
Federal Government threatened to give them if they did
not return to work.
In many of the universities visited by our
correspondents, only administrative offices opened for
business while the lecture rooms were empty.
Particularly, lecturers’ offices remained shut.
Among some of the universities visited by our
correspondents were the University of Lagos, University
of Ibadan, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, University of
Calabar, Nnamdi Azikwe University, Awka, and the
University of Uyo.
Others are Obafemi Awolwo University, Ile-Ife, Federal
University of Agriculture, Abeokuta and the Olabisi
Onabanjo University, Ago-Iwoye.
The Supervising Minister of Education, Nyesom Wike,
had urged the striking lecturers to return to work or on
before December 9 or risk being sacked.
But the leadership of ASUU had remained unfazed by
the FG’s directive and threat. They accused the
government of insincerity in the resolution of the face-
off.
At the NAU, Awka on Monday, though some of the
lecturers were on campus, they did not teach. The
institution’s Faculty of Social Sciences, for instance, had
its classrooms and laboratories shut.
The hostels were opened but students had yet to return
to the campus.
At UI, only a few lecturers were on the campus. They
neither taught nor signed the attendance register.
The institution’s chapter of ASUU earlier in the day had
sent a message to its members, urging them to be calm
and resolute in their demands.
The National Treasurer of ASUU, Dr. Ademola Aremu,
said they would have wasted their time and effort if they
caved in and returned to work under threat.
He said, “How can you call off a strike when there is
nothing to show for it? The government is not qualified
to call off the strike. Our union is awaiting the
government to state all it has done in black and white.
However, it is a serious insult on us for the government
to be harassing us with sacking threat. We are not
casual workers or labourers. Our research work has
been ongoing.”
Also, at UNICAL and at the Cross River University of
Science and Technology, students and their teachers
stayed away from the schools.
The UNICAL ASUU Chairman, Dr. James Okpiliya,
insisted that the Federal Government must meet the
lecturers’ demands before the strike could be
suspended.
Lecturers also shunned work at OAU even though a few
of the students were on the campus.
One of our correspondents observed that many of the
students who returned to campus were those residing
within Ife and its environs.
The Chairman of ASUU at the university, Prof. Adegbola
Akinola, who spoke to one of our correspondents, said
that the strike was still on.
He said, “Our union did not close the universities, what
we did was to withdraw teaching services and they will
remain withdrawn until the government properly
documents the agreement reached with us on
November 4, 2013.”
Lectures did not also hold at ABU. The two campuses of
the institution at Samaru and Kongo had only a
negligible human presence as of Monday.
Lecturers’ offices and lecture halls were shut, just as the
students did not show up as directed by the
government.
ASUU Chairman, Dr. Mohammed Kabir-Aliyu, told
journalists that they had yet to call off the action.
The UNIJOS ASUU chapter Chairman, Dr. David
Jangkam, said striking teachers in the university were
just waiting for their sack letters from the Federal
Government.
Jangkam said, “We are waiting for their sack letters. Any
government that is toying with education is not worth its
salt. We expect firm commitment in solving the issues,
but if the government is playing to the gallery, it is very
unfortunate.”
When our correspondent visited the various
departments, only a few departments had opened
registers as demanded by the governing council.
There were no studies too at UNIUYO, UNIJOS,
FUNAAB, LASU and UNILAG as lecturers boycotted
classes.
Meanwhile, President Goodluck Jonathan, on Monday,
urged the striking teachers to call off the industrial
action.
The President, who spoke at the All Nigerian Judges
Conference organised by the National Judicial Council in
Abuja, on Monday, said the industrial action would
prevent the country from achieving the Vision 2020
target of becoming one of the top 20 economies in the
world by 2020.
Although the Federal Government had recently
threatened to sack the lecturers for going on strike,
Jonathan noted that ASUU had the right to embark on
the industrial action.
He said, “This administration recognises and respects
the right of workers, including the right to embark on
industrial action to press home their demand and have
taken concrete steps to address the grievances of ASUU.
“I therefore use this occasion to call on ASUU to call off
its strike.”
“With this Nigeria’s quest to become one of the world’s
20th largest economies by the year 2020 cannot be
achieved in an atmosphere of industrial disharmony.
“Nigeria’s geopolitical history has been characterised by
incessant labour dispute and industrial action.
“While views may differ on the utility of industrial action
as a means of advancing the collective interest of
workers in the polity, it is an unassailable fact that
labour and industrial harmony is sine qua non to the
socio-economic development of any nation, Nigeria
inclusive.”

The National Security Adviser, Col. Sambo Dasuki, (retd.)
has said that international terror organisation, Al
Qaeda, has made inroads into Nigeria’s security system.
Dasuki however said that the country was responding
effectively to the threat of terrorism through the making
of relevant laws and policies to destroy the terror
networks in the country.
The NSA’s comment was contained in a keynote address
read on his behalf by Ambassador Layiwola Laseinde,
who represented him at a one-week Strategic
Communications Plan workshop for counter-insurgency
organised by the National Defence College, Abuja on
Monday.
The event declared open by the Permanent Secretary,
Ministry of Defence, Mr. Aliyu Ismaila, who represented
the Supervising Minister of Defence, Labaran Maku, was
organised in collaboration with the United States
Department of State’s Centre for Strategic Counter-
Terrorism Communication, the British Ministry of
Defence, and Albany Communications.
Dasuki said that the country had come to the realisation
that military action alone would not suffice in the
campaign against terrorism. He stressed that an
enlightenment campaign was a necessity in the quest to
defeat fundamentalists’ ideologies and terrorists’
tendencies.
Dasuki said that the need to build a consensus against
violent acts of terror remained one of the reasons
strategic communications was included in the nation’s
counter-terrorism operations.
He said, “Global terror, championed by Al-Qaeda, has
encroached upon the frontiers of Nigeria’s security and
well-being. Nigeria is responding to this threat on all
fronts.
“Through new and relevant legislations and policies,
security agencies have continued to dismantle terrorists’
infrastructure in Nigeria.
“Nigeria realises that military action on its own will not
counter terror if not accompanied by a robust public
diplomacy aimed at defeating the ideology of hate and
building consensus against violent extremism.
“This is why strategic communication is an essential part
of our counter-terrorism operations…”
Dasuki said that strategic communication in the country
would enhance the exposure of the true intent and form
of government “that the Al Qaeda-modelled Boko
Haram seeks to impose.”
He said that the strategic communication strategy would
also strive to place emphasis on the fact that terrorism
was un-Islamic and that counter-terrorism was not
targeted at Islam.
Dasuki said that efforts would be made to improve
Muslim-Christian relations and promote the rate of
literacy in the North as the fundamentalists were
exploiting mass illiteracy in the area.
The NSA stressed that the Federal Government would
promote inter-party collaboration in counter-terrorism
so that all stakeholders would contribute to the efforts
designed to provide safety and security in the society.
