The Nigerian government has proposed to spend N7.30 billion (7,297,022,065) on the Presidential Air Fleet (PAF) in the 2019 budget proposal, according to details obtained from the Budget Office of the Federation.

The proposed expenditure is about 67 per cent higher than the N4.37 billion appropriation in the 2017 budget, which consisted of N3.97 billion for recurrent and N399.5 million for capital projects.

The proposed expenditure is also a little higher than the N7.26 billion appropriation for PAF in the 2018 budget, with N4.3 billion recurrent expenditure and N2.8 billion capital expenditure.

The proposed amount includes N2.9 billion (2,936,125,212) earmarked for capital expenditure and N4.3 billion (4,360,896,853) proposed for recurrent expenditure.

In the 2019 proposal, which is subject to the approval by the National Assembly, a breakdown shows that at least N426 million has been budgeted for personnel cost, while about N3.9 billion would constitute total overhead.
Details showed that N460 million has been budgeted for travel and transport, which include local and international travels among other concerns.

Similarly, N159 million has been budgeted for utilities, which covers electricity charges, telephone charges, internet access, satellite broadcasting access charges, water rates, among others.

Equally, for the mandatory upgrade and installation of live TV and internet service on BBJ (5N-FGT), the sum of N792 million has been budgeted while N50 million would be expended on compliance with mandatory upgrade and installation of internet service on G550 (5N-FGW).

In the 2017 budget, about N2.03 billion was approved for the purchase of firefighting vehicle and equipment and air navigational equipment; aircraft towing vehicle, aircraft maintenance tools and kitchen equipment; aircraft fuel cost and aircraft maintenance.

The PAF is widely considered the second largest airline in the country after Arik Air. For years, its maintenance has remained a controversial subject, amidst outcry among Nigerians that the maintenance cost was too high.

In 2015, when President Muhamadu Buhari came on board with his promise of cutting down on the waste of public resources, he assured Nigerians his administration would cut down on the number of aircraft on the fleet inherited from former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2015.

In November 2015, presidential spokesperson, Garba Shehu, said 10 aircraft in the fleet included two each of Augusta 149, Augusta 101 and Falcon 7X as well as one each of HS 4000, G500, G550 and 737 BBJ series.

In October 2016, more than a year after taking office, in an attempt to downsize the PAF, the Buhari administration advertised the sale of two of the aircraft – a Falcon 7X executive jet and Hawker 4000. The proposed sale was however scuttled by negotiations.

When contacted for clarification last year, Mr Shehu told PREMIUM TIMES that the sale of Falcon and the Hawker were still to be concluded. “The bids are being reviewed by both sides. One thing I want to assure Nigerians is that the present administration is determined to secure the country’s best interest in a market that is sounding hawkish,” he said.

Nothing has been heard of the proposed sale ever since.
PREMIUM TIMES’ efforts to speak to Mr Shehu Wednesday evening were unsuccessful. He has also not responded to a text message sent to his known number as at press time.

Silensa:
I love the advise but the third picture is what I am trying to understand

The Chief Press Secretary to INEC chairman, Mr. Rotimi Oyekanmi, has dismissed the allegations that it was plotting to compromise the electoral guidelines to pave way for the alteration of 2019 general elections results.

The agency said this in response to an allegation by the Peoples Democratic Party that INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, was under intensive pressure to drop from its guidelines the display of results at the polling units as well as the electronic transmission of polled figures to INEC server.

Oyekanmi urged the PDP to provide the evidence in its possession to prove the allegations.

“Otherwise, the PDP should cure itself of this recurring hallucination which I am sure Nigerians no longer buy.

“Certainly, INEC is not into the rigging business,’’ Oyekanmi said.

Earlier, the Peoples Democratic Party had advised the Independent National Electoral Commission to distance itself from an alleged plot to compromise the Electoral Guidelines and pave the way for the alteration of the forthcoming general elections results.

The Director, Media and Publicity, PDP Presidential Campaign Organisation, Kola Ologbondiyan, gave the advice at a news conference on Wednesday in Abuja.

Ologbondiyan alleged that Nigerians were already aware that the Commission’s Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, was under pressure to drop from its guidelines the display of results at the polling units as well as the electronic transmission of polled figures to INEC server.

He said that the display of results at the polling units ensured that results posted at all levels remained those originally announced at the various polling units, while the electronic transmission to INEC server ensured that the results from the polling centres were not tampered with.

“Prof. Yakubu must not succumb to the pressure of the Buhari Presidency, because doing so will definitely set him on a collision course with Nigerians,’’ Ologbondiyan said.

FLYFIRE:
They have ALL BEEN sworn in to a demonic cult...they will NEVER see or oppose anything.

The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in Lagos State, Jimi Agbaje, has criticised Governor Akinwunmi Ambode for the delay in the presentation of the 2019 budget.

Agbaje, who said he was not surprised by the development, noted that Lagos residents were bearing the brunt of the “breakdown of democracy” in the ruling All Progressives Congress.



He added that he did not expect any further governance in the state until after May 2019 when a new government would be constituted.

“It is not surprising. I do not expect governance until after May 2019.

“The governor has become a lame duck. We hear that approvals are now given in other quarters. When democracy collapses in a ruling party, the people bear the brunt,” he said.

For the past 10 years, the Lagos State Government had a culture of budget presentation before the fiscal year.

The 2018 budget of N1.4trn, for instance, which was the largest ever in the history of the state, was presented by Ambode on December 11, 2017.

The 2017 budget of N813bn was also presented by the governor on November 29, 2016.

The 2016 budget of N662bn was presented on December 17, 2015.

The governor’s predecessor, Mr. Babatunde Fashola, now Minister for Power, Works and Housing, presented the 2015 budget of N489.69bn on November 24, 2014.



He presented the 2014 budget of N489.69 in October 2013.

The 2013 budget of N497.277bn was also presented by Fashola in October 2012.

The former governor presented the 2012 budget estimate of N485bn on November 14, 2011.

The year 2011 budget of N445bn was presented in December 2010.

The 2010 budget of N429bn was presented by Fashola in November 2009.

In reaction, a government source said “a lot of forces outside government” were “influencing things” in Alausa.

The source said, “There is a lot of interference with the affairs of government. A large part of the running of government is being done outside, and that is why a lot of things are not working.

“Governor Ambode is struggling to stabilise himself. The man is surrounded, so he is managing contending forces and conflicting interests, and part of the fallout is the delay in the budget.

“It is unusual and unprecedented that the budget is not out by now. But I believe in a matter of time, it will be resolved and sorted out. But it is a pointer to what is going on.”

The governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Abib Haruna, did not pick his calls and had yet to respond to a text message from our correspondent.

The state Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Kehinde Bamigbetan, could not be reached on his telephone line.

Fulani socio-cultural group, Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria (MACBAN), has suffered a crack over its endorsement of President Muhammadu Buhari for the 2019 presidential election. MACBAN had on Thursday at its 2018 Annual General Meeting in Abuja, endorsed the President’s re-election bid and promised to mobilise 20 million votes for him because of what it termed the numerous achievements recorded by his administration in infrastructural development, youth employment and security.

But, some concerned leaders and members of the group, yesterday, dissociated themselves from the purported endorsement. The splinter group said the so called endorsement was done without consultation with members of MACBAN and therefore cannot hold. In a statement signed by one Alhaji Danburam Mafindi, the group argued that if the leadership of MACBAN had come out to support the President in their personal capacities they wouldn’t have been bothered, but expressed worry that the endorsement was done on behalf of all members without consultation.

The statement read in part: “The endorsement allegedly by MACBAN is worrisome as there was no such initiative nor discussions or agreement by the Board of Trustees, National Executive Council of the association or a unanimous decision by any congress of the association. It was an executive fiat that was imposed by the president of the association and few other members.

“It is important to note that MACBAN as registered by the relevant regulatory agency is a non partisan association that is not allowed to indulge in partisan political activities. It is therefore a clear violation of laws as stipulated by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) as covered with registration number RC. NO- 3500 “This endorsement is putting the noble objectives of the association into jeopardy and is a trigger for chaos as it has the potential of causing disenchantment among many of our members with diverse political inclination. Our teeming members are not in agreement with this endorsement and it therefore null and void. It has no basis in any conscious discourse as it is a deliberate attempt to trample on the inalienable democratic rights of our members.

“There is no way an association that is faced with the enormity of challenges as faced by MACBAN today would come out and give an express endorsement for a candidate without recourse to our existing realities as herders in the country. We reject this endorsement in its totality and it therefore stands null and void. “We call on the leadership of MACBAN to come out clean and explain what informed this ‘Greek’ endorsement as it has come to us as a surprise! Politicians should be wary of such endorsement as it has no value to add to their fortune whatsoever. Only the endorsers stand to benefit. We are therefore calling on our members to come out en mass to exercise their democratic right by electing candidates of their choices in the forthcoming elections. Don’t allow anybody to intimidate you into submitting this God-given right. Follow your conscience and vote for candidates you believe can deliver on your expectations.” Meanwhile, a cross section of pro-Northern groups and individuals, who spoke with our correspondents on the issue, said though it is the right of Miyetti Allah to endorse any candidate it wishes, its action will not sell President Buhari to the entire North. Arewa Youth Conservative Forum (AYCF), which spoke through its president, Yerima Shettima, said the situation in the North does not warrant any endorsement of the present administration or President Buhari. Shettima said those who endorsed Buhari only collected money to do so, adding that the endorsement will not sell in the North.

His words: “We cannot continue to do one thing over and over again. Pretence and lies cannot take us anywhere, you cannot hoodwink people. What happened in 2015 cannot happen in the North again because the North has come of age. So, we cannot be bulldozed by this attitude of giving money for endorsement at the expense of our vision. “The present situation in Northern Nigeria is nothing to write home about.

The issue of insecurity and killings is so high in the North, more than any other part of the country. So, people have decided that they cannot continue doing one thing over and over again. The endorsement is a hard thing to sell in the North today. “The endorsement is only for those that can be bought over because the All Progressives Congress-led Federal Government has enough money to throw around. It is natural that you begin to hear reactions just the way it happened in Northern Elders Forum (NEF). Some individuals will just sit down and endorse Buhari. The same thing happened even in Afenifere; we are seeing a macabre dance, but on the D-Day, there will be surprises.” Elder statesman, Alhaji Tanko Yakassai, who also spoke on the issues, said Miyyetti Allah, endorsed President Buhari because he is its grand patron. He noted that Buhari has never hidden his closeness with the group and as such the endorsement was not a surprise.

“He (Buhari) had been their grand patron, what the endorsement shows is that the relationship with them is still very much intact. He has also never denied his closeness with the group,” he said. Secretary of Yoruba Councils of Elders (YCE), Dr. Kunle Olajide, who corroborated, Yakassai, said: “We have always known because we were told that President Buhari was the grand patron of Miyetti Allah since he assumed office. So, in any case Miyetti Allah has been part of his constituency. So, to me I don’t see anything new.

“But my anxiety is that in spite of the killings, herdsmen crisis, kidnapping of people for money and destruction of farms, among others, President Buhari is yet to say anything. But it is not surprising that they endorsed him. “Ordinarily, the endorsement should have been a minus because serious minded people will now begin to wonder why the President has been silent on the herdsmen crisis as I don’t think it is going to have any impact in 2019.”

Spokesman of pan Yoruba group, Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, who described the endorsement as a political strategy, said it might be in return for the President’s support for the group. His words: “May be they want to deliver a herd of cows; it is a strategy of sort by Miyetti Allah in return for President Buhari’s support, but it is an awakening call for Nigerians. If Buhari is re-elected, we have not seen anything yet. So, none Miyetti Allah members should rise against it.” National Vice Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) South-West, Dr. Eddy Olafeso, who also spoke with Saturday Telegraph, said Miyetti Allah’s promise is an indication of Buhari’s linkage with the group.

He charged Nigerians to sift between the wheat and shaft to see who is actually interested in the development of the nation and the party that is interested in its continued decimation. “Buhari came into office on the crest of revamping the economy, ensuring security and fight corruption, but what is the situation today? Zamfara is in turmoil; our soldiers are killed daily in the North-East even as herdsmen continue to rampage in the Middle Belt and the South. The economy is in comatose as over 20 million people have lost their jobs.” But, the National President of the Nigeria Traders Harmonized Union, Dr Bature AbdulAziz, who said that members of Miyyeti Allah are entitled to endorse a candidate of their choice, averred: “Miyyeti Allah are of Fulani extraction and are true Nigerians who have right to vote and be voted for and as such have right to endorse a candidate of their choice .”

Bature, who reminded Nigerians that Miyyeti Allah was not the first group to endorse Buhari or the presidential candidate of the PDP, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, added: “There is no big deal about the endorsement; only enemies of Buhari are trying hard to turn it to an issue.” Secretary of Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), Anthony Sani, on his part, said: “As I have said over and over again, the two major presidential candidates, namely, President Muhammadu Buhari and former Vice President Abubakar Atiku, are from the North and Fulani Muslims. As a result, any endorsement cannot reasonably be on politics of identity, but based on what such group believes can serve the country better. But, we must note that in democracy, what matters most is majority, which has both its say and way, while the minority only has its say.

“I do not know the electoral values of the Miyetti Allah and the extent of their group goal, group cohesion, group coherence and even group conspiracy, especially when regard is paid to the fact that Atiku is also of Fulani ethnic extraction and also a Muslim. As a result, I cannot predict the effect of the endorsement on the outcome of the elections. But I am happy with the level of political awareness, and hope those groups, which endorse political parties will mobilize their people to make judicious use of their democratic rights and ensure that votes count, so that the emerging leaders will be accountable to the people.”

Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, National Leader, All Progressives Congress (APC), has urged Nigerians to re-elect President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term in 2019 to foster continuity, hope and development.

Tinubu made the call on Friday at the APC 2019 Presidential Campaign Flag-off in Uyo, Akwa Ibom.

He also assured that the APC government would continue to give Nigerians hope and diversify the country’s economy.

He said that the campaign flag-off in Uyo was an endorsement of what he called continuity of hope and development of Nigeria as embodied by the APC.

According to him Akwa Ibom is the largest producer of petroleum.

He said that the PDP government had ruled Nigerians with “miserable and corrosive economy” in 16 years and urged eligible Nigerian voters not to vote for PDP to rule Nigeria in 2019.

“We are strongly determined to change the coast and redirect the vessel of governance in Nigeria, that is what President Buhari is all about, and that is what APC is determined to do,’’ he said.

The APC National Leader also said that the APC-led government was building foundations for the youths, the elderly and children of tomorrow.

This is a very successful day and outing, this stadium is filled to capacity for one thing, the progress of our nation, Nigeria, to endorse the continuity of hope and continuity of development.

“We came in 2015 and assured the nation that Nigerian was yearning for change. Change from ineptitude; change from corruption; change from laziness; change from Importation; change with a great meaning for development and diversification of economy.

“Vote for your future and not that of corruption, they took 16 years and gave 16 years of darkness, if only they concentrated on one item like power, Nigeria would have not been in this mess. We are not bringing you (PDP) back.’’

Also speaking, Mr Adams Oshiomhole, the APC National Chairman, said that the 2019 campaign would be based on issues of integrity, between integrity and others.

Oshiomole said that the APC presidential candidate, Muhammadu Buhari, was well known in Nigeria and indeed globally.

He urged Nigerians to be wary of the PDP presidential candidate who had “put Nigerians on notice that he will sell the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC)’’.

“All I want to do is to present to you the four candidates that will fly the party’s governorship flag for 2019.

“They are: Mr Nsima Ekere, Akwa Ibom; Sen. John Enoh, for Cross River, Mr Great Ogboru, for Delta; and Mr Tonye Cole, of Rivers State,” he said.

The Director-General of Buhari Campaign Organisation and Minister for Transport, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, also said that the APC had delivered on its promises to Nigeria.

Speaking at the flag-off in Uyo, Amaechi said the party had fulfilled its promise to improve the economy, ensure security and fight corruption.

He noted that the party promised to bring about change in the country and it achieved that, adding, however, that changes do not come easily.

He said that the party did not promise to make the Naira equivalent to the Dollar and to bring down the price of petrol.

Amaechi said that the party had created employment for Nigerians, adding that even the opposition had testified to the fact that President Buhari is fighting corruption and is not corrupt.

Ntufam Hilliard Etta, National Vice Chairman , South-South, also said that Nigerians should vote for the party’s candidate in 2019 alleging also that “PDP has destroyed the country for 16 years’’.

Sen. Godswill Akpabio also assured that Akwa Ibom would deliver APC in 2019, adding that “the election is all about integrity versus others”.

“The president has integrity. He has integrity to continue in office. He has completed many projects and initiated new ones. That is why we are going to run the APC presidential election on the basis of performance.

He lauded the president and the party for choosing to flag off the campaign in Akwa Ibom.

Responding on behalf of the four gubernatorial candidates, Ekere thanked the APC for giving them the mandate and assured that they would work hard to ensure victory for the president and all APC candidates in 2019.
