PRELATE of Methodist Church of Nigeria, Dr Samuel Uche, has refuted media reports that there was a grand plan by President Muhammadu Buhari to turn Nigeria into an Islamic state. In a statement, Prelate Uche described the reports has a misrepresentation of facts.

The cleric said “President Muhammadu Buhari was never accused of planning to Islamise Nigeria rather, I said that the militant sect of the Fulani herdsmen with their Boko Haram collaborators think that they can Islamise Nigeria. Their efforts will always be resisted.”

Buhari must settle them, all they did was to help buhari win the election. Without their direct and indirect involvement with Boko Haram issue buhari wouldn't have been in Aso Rock today.

Lagos —The Nigeria Union of Petroleum and Natural Gas Workers, NUPENG, has said that the ongoing fuel scarcity in the country may persist until the Federal Government takes effective action on petroleum products availability.

The declaration comes even as independent oil marketers and other private petroleum products operators insist that the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation, NNPC, is running a monopolistic system.

President of NUPENG, Comrade Igwe Achese, told Vanguard, “Clearly from the perspective of our own study, in as much we are concerned with the current situation we find ourselves, scarcity will continue.

However, like we rightly said, if Federal Government is having a political will to address these issues, definitely, we will get out of this quagmire. For now, I’m sure we will still continue to find ourselves in where we are.

“NNPC, through its Products and Pipeline Marketing Company, PPMC, subsidiary is trying everything possible to see that this scarcity issue is resolved, but it also requires the commitment of all stakeholders.”

Regarding the loading of products at the depots of PPMC and other marketers, he argued that, “It is not an issue of Capital Oil, or Mosimi, it is an issue of the process. We need to change our approach, we need to change our structure in terms of the way and manner we carry out these operations.”

ABUJA — THE Senate, yesterday, mandated its Committee on Appropriation to allocate the sum of N10 billion under service wide vote for the relocation and resettlement of Internally Displaced Persons,IDPs, returning to Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.

The Red Chamber also urged the National Emergency Management Agency,NEMA, and the Refugees Commission to make special arrangement for repatriation and resettlement of Nigerian refugees in Cameroon, Niger and Chad. But the Senate asked the committee to include IDPs in Taraba,Plateau,Benue and Nasarawa states as beneficiaries in the allocated amount.

The Senate action was sequel to a motion, tagged: “Interim financial and material support/assistance to Internally Displaced Persons, IDPs, returnees in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states”, presented for consideration during plenary by the Senate Leader, Ali Ndume,APC, Borno South and eight others from Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.

The managers of the Victim Support Fund have been directed as well to allocate reasonable amount of money from the fund for immediate relocation and resettlement of the IDPs, pending the short and medium term plans they may have. Other IDP centres across different states of the federation are expected to benefit from the proposed N10 billion and other other intervention funds when it eventually released by the executive.

Sponsors of the motion, in their lead debate,said the returning IDPs need immediate and interim financial and material assistance in terms of cash transfer and food relief to start their lives all over again in the short term before the intervention from the proposed North East Development Commission ,PINE. Lead sponsor of the motion, Ali Ndume, in his remark, said: “These IDPs from these states ran away from their various , from their various homes, leaving everything they own behind with the hope of returning in short time, but ended up losing everything to the Boko Haram insurgents.

“The displaced persons’ houses and other physical properties, like vehicles machineries, buildings and almost everything have been destroyed or vandalized by the insurgents, Boko Haram. Most or all the affected persons are relatively poor with no savings, source of income or gainful employment,” the lead sponsor, Ndume said in his remarks.

Considering the five-prayer motion, the Senate urged the federal government to release grains from the strategic grain reserve to the affected states. Also, it directed the appropriate committees to write a letter of appreciation to the embassies of the host countries where the refugees are accommodated.

It also urged the victim support fund to allocate reasonable amount from the fund for immediate relocation and resettlement for the IDPs pending the short and medium term plans, they might have.

I thinks it's time for the national assembly to ammend the constitution and declare seccession an act of treason punishable by firing squad Any one supporting biafra should be sentenced to death or fed to lions.
