Rattled by the defection of five out of its seven
aggrieved governors to the All Progressives Congress on
Wednesday, the National Working Committee of the
Peoples Democratic Party has scheduled an emergency
meeting for next Monday.
Saturday PUNCH learnt in Abuja, on Thursday that the
party’s leadership at the meeting would determine the
fate of the rebel governors.
It was further gathered that the emergency meeting
would among other things, decide on what punitive
measures to be taken against the governors and
lawmakers, who are likely to join them.
Sources close to the party told our correspondents that
the party was afraid there could be mass defection of
the PDP National Assembly members to the APC.
Investigations also revealed that the National Working
Committee of the PDP at the meeting would discuss how
it would not lose its majority status in the National
Assembly to the APC.
It was learnt that the meeting was specifically put in
place to brainstorm on the movement of the governors
to the APC because the weekly NWC meeting
traditionally holds on Wednesdays.
One of our correspondents gathered that the leadership
of the PDP had been considering how to curtail the
movement of any lawmaker elected on the platform of
the party to the opposition.
A source in the party said, “We are going to consider all
the legal options before deciding on punitive measures
for the governors and lawmakers that defect to the APC.
“Nothing is on the table yet, but I can assure you that
the PDP will hit back. One of the punitive measures we
will consider is impeachment of the governors and how
feasible it is. By Monday, we will unfold our strategies.
Also, we must ensure that the PDP does not become a
minority party in the National Assembly.”
When contacted, the National Publicity secretary of the
PDP, Chief Olisah Metuh, confirmed to one of our
correspondents on the telephone on Thursday, that the
PDP was indeed planning to hold the meeting on
Monday.
He also said that the issue of the rebel governors would
form part of deliberations.
According to him, the meeting will, among other things,
discuss issues affecting the party in general and other
recent developments in the polity including the
defection of some of their governors.
Metuh, who also spoke on the issue of the threat by
some lawmakers to defect from the PDP, said that the
national leadership of the PDP had implicit confidence in
the leadership of both houses of the National Assembly
to maintain the party’s positions.
He said, “Well on the issue of Amaechi and the other
governors who have defected, there is an emergency
meeting of the NWC to discuss all matters on Monday.
“On the issue of the lawmakers, the leadership of the
two houses of the National Assembly are PDP members.
The leaders are capable and are loyal. We have
confidence in them. They have not shown any cause for
doubts. They are loyal party members who can be relied
upon at any time. All I can tell you is that we are going to
discuss all the issues.”
When contacted, the Kano State Governor, Dr. Rabiu
Kwankwaso said he was not bothered about his position
as governor.
This, he said, was because the struggle he and his
colleagues were involved in was a struggle to salvage
democracy and not about any individual.
Kwankwaso spoke to Saturday PUNCH through his
Director of Press and Public Relations, Baba Dantiye, via
telephone on Thursday.
He said, “Let’s wait and see what happens on Sunday
(after the meeting with the President). It’s not a matter
of seat; it’s the issue of rescuing democracy and the
nation.”
Saturday PUNCH also tried to find out if the deputy
governors of the affected states would also defect to
APC, but most of them could not be reached for
comments.
Although the Deputy Governor of Kano State, Alhaji
Umar Ganduje could not be reached for comments, a
source close to him confided in one of our
correspondents that he had implicit confidence in the
governor.
The source said, “You know His Excellency, the Deputy
Governor is a close confidant of the governor. Politically
they have been on the same page and will continue to
be.”
The Spokesperson of the Kwara State Governor, Dr.
Muyideen Akorede, in a telephone interview with our
correspondent on Thursday declined to respond to the
question on whether the Governor, Alhaji Abdulfatah
Ahmed, would be willing to vacate his office as a result
of his defection to the APC.
He said Ahmed was not in town, adding that he was the
only person who could respond to such an issue.
“We have no response to the question. The governor is
not in town. He is the only person that can respond to
such a question,” Akorede said.
Meanwhile, a former governor of Kano State, Malam
Ibrahim Shekarau, has said that he is ready to work with
anybody in the state because politics is about people.
The clarification became necessary as the APC in its
power sharing deal on Thursday said the defected
governors would be in charge of party machineries in
their states.
Shekarau who spoke through his Director of Press and
Public Relations, Sule Ya’u Sule said, Malam Ibrahim
Shekarau, welcomes everyone into the APC family,
politics is about people.
“The only thing is that, no member of the party should
be treated like a second class citizen. There should be
justice and fairness to all.’’

I got this as a broadcast from one of my BBM contact and it was so funny that i feel like sharing it here to debate on it... Thanks

An anonymous tipster has confided in
SaharaReporters that Festus Iyayi, a former
president of the Academic Staff Union of
Universities (ASUU), was actually shot by policemen
in the convoy of the Kogi State Governor, Captain
Idris Wada, prior to the road accident in which he
supposedly died last week.
The source claimed that the injuries found on the late
writer's chest were consistent with gunshot injuries and
that a bullet did pierce his heart.
One Dr. Paul Amodu of the Specialist Hospital in Lokoja
had revealed that Professor Iyayi died after "something"
pierced his chest, but he didn't specify what it was.
It was reported last week that the popular professor and
writer died in a collision with a security vehicle in
Governor Wada's convoy.
Sources at ASUU said they had dissuaded Iyayi's family
from a "rushed" burial, as they suspected foul play. One of
the sources recalled that another former president of
ASUU, Dr. Mahmood Tukur, also died in suspicious
circumstances on the Kaduna-Zaria highway, with the
police claiming he died of an asthma attack because he
ate pepper which, they claimed, triggered it.
SaharaReporters spoke with Prof. Iyayi's son, Omole,
regarding the latest information, but he said the family
was unaware, and that they do not even have the autopsy
performed yet.
A press statement issued by the Nigerian Medical
Association (NMA)signed by its President Osahom
Enabulele has previously called for a special inquiry into
Professor Iyayi's death but the statement didn't say if the
doctors found that Iyayi may been shot as alleged by the
anonymous source.

Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Mr.
Ahmed Gulak, on Tuesday dared Governor Rotimi
Amaechi of Rivers State to present the 19 governors he
claimed re-elected him as the chairman of the Nigeria
Governors Forum.
In his reaction to an earlier interview Gulak granted The
PUNCH in which he said the Presidency identified
Governor Jonah Jang as the NGF chairman, Amaechi had
on Monday said he was re-elected by 19 governors
against the 16 who voted for Jang.
“It is a known fact that in the election for chairman of
NGF held on May 24, Governor Amaechi got the mandate
of the majority of his colleague-governors to continue to
serve as their chairman when 19 governors voted for him
as against 16 that voted for Plateau State Governor
Jonah Jang. We know that 19 is always greater than 16,”
Amaechi’s spokesman, David Iyofor, had written.
But Gulak insisted on Tuesday that Jang remained the
chairman of the NGF recognised by the Presidency.
While faulting Amaechi’s claim that his re-election was
accepted by majority of the governors, the presidential
aide asked the governor to present the 19 governors
who voted for him.
He said the poor attendance recorded during the retreat
the Rivers State governor organised in Sokoto on
Saturday was a clear sign of the non-acceptability of his
leadership by his colleagues.
“If Governor Amaechi is claiming that 19 governors re-
elected him as the chairman of the NGF, let him present
the 19 governors. You are aware of the poor attendance
at the retreat he organised in Sokoto. That was a sign
that he is not the leader of the forum,” Gulak said.
On the statement that he was misleading the President,
Gulak said, “If I am misleading the President, who is
leading him (Amaechi)?”
He insisted that the seven aggrieved Peoples Democratic
Party governors were being led by their personal
ambitions and not national interest.
Gulak said the earlier they embraced peace and settled
down to work for the citizens of their states who elected
them, the better for them.

President Goodluck Jonathan on Friday denied a claim by
Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State that he reported a
serving minister who allegedly collected a $250m bribe
from an oil company without the President acting on the
information.
A newspaper (not Saturday PUNCH) had on Friday quoted
the governor, who is one of the seven aggrieved Peoples
Democratic Party governors, as making the claim in an
interview with an Abuja-based radio station on Thursday.
Lamido was quoted as saying: “Do you know that
recently a top minister received a $250 million (about
42.25 billion) bribe for himself… he (the minister) is in
the cabinet; he is in this current regime; he knows and I
know, and I told the President.”
But Jonathan, in a statement by his Special Adviser on
Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, described the
governor’s claim as “grossly irresponsible, false and
mischievous.”
He said no such communication took place between him
and the governor.
He said the governor’s “patently bogus allegation” was a
callous attempt to impugn his (the President’s) integrity
and cast aspersion on his administration’s anti-
corruption war.
Jonathan added that Lamido descended into “the
unscrupulous, reckless and thoughtless peddling of
arrant falsehood” in order to score cheap political points
for personal and sectional political gains.
He added that if the governor has credible information
about a minister receiving the said amount as bribe as
he claimed, he should publicly name the minister
involved and provide evidence to support his allegation.
In the event that he is unable to do so, the President said
Lamido should be prepared to offer an unreserved
apology to him and Nigerians for what he called “his
unwarranted and unjust effort to denigrate, disparage
and malign the President and the Federal Government.”
The President said while his administration would
continue to make corrupt public officials answerable for
their actions, he would not succumb to harassment and
blackmail by self-seeking politicians jostling for personal
advantage.
The statement read, “We have noted with much regret,
the grossly irresponsible, false and mischievous claim by
the Governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido that
President Goodluck Jonathan has refused to act on
information that a serving minister recently collected a
bribe of $250 million from an oil company.
“The Presidency views the patently bogus allegation
reportedly made by the Governor in a radio interview
yesterday as an unacceptable and callous attempt to
unjustly impugn the integrity of President Jonathan and
cast aspersions on the seriousness of his
Administration’s efforts to curb corruption.
“The allegation and the claim by Alhaji Lamido that he
informed President Jonathan of the acceptance of the
huge bribe by an unnamed minister is absolutely without
any foundation in fact or reality because no such
communication has ever taken place between them.
“We abhor Governor Lamido’s descent to the
unscrupulous, reckless and thoughtless peddling of
arrant falsehood in a puerile effort to score cheap
political points against President Jonathan for personal
and sectional political gains.
“If, as he claims, Alhaji Lamido has credible information
about a minister receiving the said amount as bribe, he
should publicly name the minister involved without delay
and provide evidence to support his allegation.
“In the event that he is unable to do so, he should be
prepared to offer an unreserved apology to the President
and Nigerians for his unwarranted and unjust effort to
denigrate, disparage and malign the President and the
Federal Government.
“While the Jonathan Presidency will continue to make
corrupt public officials answerable for their actions, it will
not succumb to harassment and blackmail by self-
seeking politicians jostling for personal advantage.”

Pandemonium broke out in Osogbo, the capital of
Osun State, when four students were reportedly
injured as some students of Baptist High School,
Jaleymi, Osogbo engaged in a bloody fight with some
secondary school students from another school in
town.
Though the cause of the clash was unknown as of the
time of filing this report, eyewitness informed
Saturday Tribune that the clash lasted for almost two
hours before operatives of the Nigeria Security and
Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) could restore order in
the area.
However, some teachers, who pleaded anonymity
hinted that clash was precipitated by rivalry between
two cult groups.
Sources informed our correspondent that some male
pupils armed with machetes and other weapons
invaded the school in the morning and engaged the
male students of the school in a clash which
eventually culminated in the sudden closure of the
school.
When Saturday Tribune visited the school premises on
Friday, students were spotted trooping out of the
school enmasse before the official closing time with
some parents rushing to the school to take home their
children.
Meanwhile, operatives of the Nigeria Security and Civil
Defence Corps and policemen were deployed to the
school to restore peace so as to prevent the
development from degenerating into a complete
breakdown of law and order.
Some of the witnesses said four students were injured
while the clash lasted, but security agencies were
able to arrest two male pupils and two female pupils.
However, some of the students and residents around
the school contended that those arrested were not the
ones involved in the clash.
When contacted, the Public Relations Officer of the
NSCDC, Mr. Ayo Olowe, confirmed the incident,
explaining that the situation was put under control
through the prompt response from the men of the

Nigeria host Ethiopia in the return leg 2014 World Cup
playoff in Calabar on Saturday.
With the Super Eagles heading into the encounter with a
2-1 advantage courtesy of Emmanuel Emenike’s brace in
the first leg in Addis Ababa on October 13, the Walya
Antelopes would appear to have a little chance in
beating the African champions to reach the World Cup
in Brazil, but the North-East Africans who must win by
at least 2-0 to book their ticket insist they can upset the
form book.
Walya Antelopes coach Sewnet Bishaw, captain Degu
Debebe, midfielder Addis Hintsa and defender Butako
Abebaw maintain they have the quality to pick up the
right result at the UJ Esuene Stadium and called on
Ethiopians not to lose hope.
Bishaw believes the presence of South Africa-based
striker Getaneh Kebede, who missed the first leg at
Addis Ababa National Stadium, will propel his team to
victory.
“To be honest, the presence of an experienced striker
like Getaneh will have an impact in the second leg,”
Cafonline quoted him as saying during the week.
“But we have to be very careful not to give too much
space for their strikers.
“We have to bear in mind that they got the 2-1
advantage in the first leg after we did not close down
space they rarely got in the 90 minutes.
“In any case the result of a football match is determined
at the end of the 90 minutes. We are ready to challenge
them until the end.”
Debebe warned the Eagles not to underestimate the
Walya Antelopes, saying they would regret if they take
victory for granted.
“We will give our best and whatever result in Calabar we
will accept it but most importantly we are all hoping to
upset the form book,” Debebe told supersport.com.
“We might have lost to Nigeria at home but I always
believe with hard work and God on our side we can upset
the form book in Nigeria as nothing is impossible,”
Abebaw said.
Sudan-based Hinsta urged the team to avoid the
mistakes that led to their defeat on home soil.
He insisted the Eagles are beatable and asked the team
to fire on all cylinders during the game.
“It will be a tough match and no one should expect an
easy ride. We may be the underdogs in this match but
Nigeria should expect a good fight at their hands for the
entire 90 minutes,” Hinsta said.
“We have always dreamed of being at the World Cup and
though our dreams were dented at home I believe it’s
not over until the fat lady sings.”
Bishaw said his players must not be afraid to face the
Nigerians, saying they could return home with the ticket
to the World Cup if they overcome pressure.
He said, “In the very beginning we set ourselves a goal,
which was to qualify for the African Cup of Nations and
the World Cup. To achieve that goal we have had to work
very hard and that was our plan. We are training
everyday and night to achieve our goal. We have 90
minutes more, and we will fight to the maximum. And I
am confident we will qualify.”

Displaced landowners in Enugu State have threatened to
storm the Enugu International Airport and seize materials
meant for the conduct of the Anambra State
governorship election on Saturday (today).
They said they resolved to take the action because the
Federal Airport Authority of Nigeria failed to pay them
compensation for acquiring their land.
The landowners are operating on the platform of Airport
Hillview and Layout Landlords Association, Enugu State.
A statement by the publicity secretary of the group, Mr.
Emmanuel Ivuanyi, on Thursday, faulted FAAN for not
paying compensations to affected landowners.
Mostly indigenes of Anambra State, the landowners
made available a notice of the threats to our
correspondents in Enugu and Awka, on Thursday.
According to them, they were promised compensation
when the land was acquired in 2009 by the Federal
Government for the expansion and remodelling of the
airport to international status.
They, however, said that since then, they had yet to
receive any form of compensation from FAAN.
Saturday PUNCH learnt that 11 of the landowners who
started the fight for compensation had died.
One of the landowners, Mr. Emmanuel Chukwurah, said
they would, in their thousands, besiege the airport very
early today (Saturday) and ensure that sensitive
materials for the Anambra governorship election do not
leave the airport.
“We are prepared to die for this, so no amount of
security confrontation will hinder our action,” said
Chukwurah.”

Fani-Kayode urges Nigerians to kick out Jonathan in 2015
Posted by: Adekunle Jimoh, Ilorin in News 36 mins ago
A former Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode, has urged
Nigerians to team up and kick out the Goodluck Jonathan
administration in the 2015 general elections.
The former minster addressed reporters yesterday at the
Ilorin International Airport, the Kwara State capital, after
attending the first remembrance anniversary of the
strong man of Kwara politics, Dr Sola Saraki.
He said: “My views are clearly well known about
President Jonathan’s administration. There is no point in
inflaming passion. They are very sensitive. If you say
anything negative about them, they get upset and begin
to haul abuses.
“But let me give you straight: this is probably one of the
worst governments this country has ever known in terms
of corruption and infrastructural provision. I think it is
incumbent on every right-thinking Nigerian, whether in
the G-7, the New Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), the All
Progressives Congress (APC) or any other party, to get
them out of office. That is our objective.”
On the designation of Boko Haram as a terrorist group,
the former minister said: “The United States of America’s
designation of Boko Haram as a terrorist group is long
overdue. They should have done that before 7,000
Nigerians were killed.
“One wonders why it took the Barack Obama
administration so long; probably because our
government is not fighting Boko Haram strongly enough.
We have complained about this in the last two years.
Perhaps, if our government had made the effort to
encourage the Americans to take this step as far back as
a year or two ago, we would have saved many lives.
“But we have lost 7,000 Nigerians in the last two years
because of the weakness of our government and
because the Americans refused to do the right thing and
designate the group as a terrorist organisation. “I am
glad they have done it now. Let’s hope things will
change.”

Borno Christians Accuse Governor Shettima Of Negligence, Say Boko Haram Sacked 46 Villages, 14,000 Displaced


A group of indigenous Christians of Borno State under
the auspices of Gwoza Christian Community
Association (GCCA), has accused Governor Kashim
Shettima of negligence concerning Boko Haram
attacks on their communities in which 46 villages
were sacked and their areas made the operational
headquarters of the insurgency.
In an open letter to Shettima signed by its contact
man, Elder Ayuba J. Bassa, the group gave detailed
analyses of their situation, saying that over 14,000 of
their members have been displaced into neighboring
states and the Republic of Cameroon. They
complained that their children are dying of
malnutrition and other health cases in their hideouts.
Giving a detailed background of their situation, the
group said that the governor was unaware, the
Christians in Gwoza are deeply unhappy about the
non-action of his government in response to their
condition. They said they did not really believe
governor was being updated about what is actually
going on by their representatives on his cabinet or by
those in the House of Assembly.
“A total of 618 families (not individuals) have been
displaced from their houses to various places in
Nigeria as well as in places in Cameroon. There were
a total of 46 Churches that have been burnt and
destroyed while a total of 541 houses were also burnt
and destroyed. As at 23/10/2013, a total of 46 villages
were completely displaced; while a total of 108
houses have been vandalized, some of these houses
are being occupied by the insurgents atop the
mountain hills. More of concern is the plight of 68
widows whose husbands were either shot or
slaughtered in front of their family members. We have
full documentation of these atrocities against
Christians and yet your Deputy Governor during his
two visits to the area has never found time to even
commiserate with the Christians, but were
deliberately avoided.”
Continuing, the villagers asked whether they are
perhaps not being considered to be Borno State
citizens.
“Shops destroyed at Kirawa were given N3million, we
also reliably informed that the sum of twenty five
million naira (N25,000,000.00) was also given to the
butchers from Gwoza at the Maiduguri Abbattoir.
Everyone knows that the Abattoir is the breeding
ground of the insurgency activities most of whom
have gone back to Gwoza as sponsored insurgents.
They have now made the mountain hills their
headquarters. While the whole lot of over 13 to 14
thousand Christians are homeless and are refugees
without basic needs after fleeing their homes. Are we
bastards that deserve not an iota of attention?”
The group noted that resistance but for its respect for
constituted authority, its members have what it takes
to resist the insurgents.
“We have the capacity to retaliate even more
devastatingly, but two wrongs do not make a right,”
the letter said. “When peace was visible especially at
Bayan Dutse and Barawa District in particular,
confirmed information reached us that the civilian JTF
was sponsored to the area in order to retaliate the
actions of the army JTF on innocent civilian Christians
of Barawa. A list of eighteen (18) persons was given to
them out of which they succeeded in apprehending
four (4) including a former vice Chairman of Gwoza
Local Govt Area: To date no one has been able to see
them. This was politically motivated under the cover
of insurgent activities- branding them as Boko -
Haram. That Civilian JTF that underwent that infamous
mission were themselves Boko-Haram from the
Maiduguri Abbattoir who actually ran away to
Maiduguri when the JTF came to Barawa in April this
year. In order to see them as legitimate Civilian JTF,
some of them were told to adopt Christian names
such as Bitrus, Yohanna, etc instead of their Muslim
names. We have no regrets to state categorically
before you that one key elected politician from the
area and also the district head comes from the
current headquarters of Boko- Haram on the Gwoza
hills at Gwavaka in Ghwa`a. May be you may like to
hear that on 29th September, 2013, two days to
independence day, Boko- Haram village-Head was
turbaned in the area where four cows were
slaughtered in celebrations. It was the cows of the
displaced Christians.
The group warned that in the circumstances, if pushed
to the wall, we will have to actually defend ourselves
and that is not a threat because every human being
has the instinct to survive. “It is not because we don't
have that capacity of retaliation or taking our plight
for solutions elsewhere,” they said. “We do have
them such as the ICC, US Congress, International
Development Agencies, International Reconciliatory
Agencies, Human Rights, International Religious
Freedom Reports, Inter-faith Mediation Centre and
above all the constitution of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.”
Presenting statistics of their displaced members, and
as well the villages that were sacked by the sect, they
stressed, “we really have reasons to complain bitterly
as if we are aliens in Borno State and every sane
minded human being can attest to our plight. We
registered this Association to actually forestall the
administrative bottle necks of CAN in tackling our
internal issues which may be peculiar to us. But we
keep in close contact with CAN because our
Association is not an alternative to CAN. We are in the
full picture and knowledge of our Christian brothers
and sisters that are scattered as refugees which are
currently as follows:
* Mokolo - Cameroun - Over 3,000
* Galma - Cameroun - Over 2,000
* Limankara - 202
* Madagali in Adamawa State - 2050
* Gulak in Adamawa State - 800
* Michika in Adamawa State - 1865
* Askira in Borno State - 410
* Uba in Borno State - 743
* Mubi in Adamawa State - 273
* Ngoshe Sama - 223
* Yola in Adamawa State - 270
* Jalingo in Taraba State - 190
* Lagos in Lagos State - 428
* Abuja in the FCT - 1021
The group gave the names of villages in which
Christian refugees were chased out as follows:
Ghraza, Hduwe, Tacha, Gudule, Gathaghure, Hembe,
Kunde, Jiga, Ghwa 'a-klala, Gwavaka, Sabon Gari
Kunde, Chebe-Chebe, Pege Barawa, Angwan Lawan,
Vireke, Koghum, Kamba, Kwatara, Wala, Ashigashiya,
Gava-west, Gileri, Sasawa, Bita, Dangalang, Ungwan
Dambe, Yamtake, Valengede, Bla waziri, Bla abba,
Gatha Musa, Gatha chairman, Gobara, Barawa, Uvaha,
Gidan Block, Sabon gari zalidva, Patawe, Amdaga,
Shiya-dawe, Dure, Hudimca, and Ghufure.
“For goodness-sake how can a leader allow such large
number of villages to be left vacant?”
