obailala:
You asked how fuel sold for N200 earlier this year when it was purported that there was no subsidy. I provided useful insight which I believe should have answered your question and clarified your doubts - i.e. contrary to your assumptions, subsidy was actually still enforced until May 29th, which is why petrol sold at N200....

On your question as to why petrol suddenly jumped to N500, I believe the answer to that is common sense; subsidy was proposed in the budget by Buhari, but didnt you witness like every other Nigerian that your president ended it on May 29th?

Very quick on external issues but docile on national issues.

obailala:
There was provision for subsidy until 30th June.

Throwback:
So Tinubu needed all of the 60days Buhari provided?

What a shameful disgrace.

Ajaero' romance with Obi has spoilt everything. He was not neutral during the election. Any action he takes will work against him

They did. Subsidy payments prevented them from totally collapsing, but did not let them make the profit they needed to be truly strong and competitive.

I stopped listening when the guy stated that 'NNPC had not paid subsidy to anybody'

That made me know that the argument was going to be flawed from the word go.

From 2016, what was happening....was that NNPC was

1.Made the sole importer of fuel

2.Had to import fuel at the landing price X

3.And then sell to depots at the price Y which was below price X.

4. As a result, NNPC was running at a loss, and NNPC was as a result being paid a subsidy to not run at a loss.


Marketers on the other hand were allowed to buy petrol at price A from depots and sell at price B, which was higher than price A and set by the government.

I know people want petrol prices to fall down again, but the argument being used is poor. Marketers were not being paid subsidy from 2016 by government or NNPC, because NNPC was itself subsidising fuel on behalf of the government, and being paid a subsidy not to collapse.

(I do not work for NNPC, or the government, and have supported subsidy removal since 2012. I also do not like APC, PDP, or LP and wish they all got voted out for Nigeria's benefit).

The judiciary is dead as far as many Nigerians are concerned.
The PEPT matter is a last opportunity for the judiciary to resurrect .

If this opportunity is missed, they are dead, buried and destroyed.

How many did obi score in those states

Atiku is just buying time. He will soon return to Dubai as usual

Atiku no come play ooo


Some things are very certain with Atiku and Obi's legal submission

* Nobody is contesting the fact Tinubu won Popular vote... He is the undisputed winner of the majority vote, and the most popular

*Both Obi and Atiku are scared Tinubu would win another re run so they want him disqualified

Alhaji Lamidi Apapa, the acting National Chairman of the Labour Party (LP), has prayed a Federal High Court, Abuja, to compel the Inspector-General (I-G) of Police to eject the embattled LP National Chairman, Julius Abure, from the party’s national secretariat.

Apapa, in a fresh suit filed before Justice Ahmed Mohammed, also sought an order of perpetual injunction restraining Abure and three other suspended national officers from further representing or parading themselves as national chairman and officers of the party.


The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Apapa; Alhaji Lawal Saleh, acting National Secretary; Comrade Anslem Eragbe, National Youth Leader and LP are the 1st to 4th plaintiffs in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/777/23 and filed by their lawyer, Anderson Asamota.


The plaintiffs had sued Mr Abure as suspended National Chairman; Farouk Umaru, suspended National Secretary; Ojukwu Clement, suspended Organising Secretary; Oluci Opara, suspended National Treasurer and I-G as 1st to 5th defendants respectively.

In the latest case dated June 1, the plaintiffs sought nine reliefs which include “an order setting aside or nullifying all steps or proceedings conducted by the 1st to 4th defendants, actions or decisions taken, documents or correspondences prepared, authored, signed and issued by them, after they were restrained by the FCT High Court on April 5th and suspended by the National Executive Council (NEC) of the Labour Party on 3rd day of May, 2023.

“An order of mandatory injunction directing or compelling the 1st to 4th defendants whether acting by themselves or through their officers, privies, representatives, attorneys and/or agents to render account of all monies or funds received by them through gift, donations, contributions for and on behalf of the party and return or refund all the monies or gift received by them for and on behalf of the party.”

The plaintiff, who prayed the court to eject Abure and the three co-defendants from the party’s national secretariat located at No. 2, IBM Haruna Street, Utako, Abuja, described them as “illegal occupants.”

They sought a declaration that by virtue of Articles 13 (2)(B)(xvii), 17(ii) and 19(2) (C) & (3)C of the Constitution of the Labour Party, 2019 (as amended), the NEC of the LP is empowered and/or inundated with powers to take disciplinary action or discipline the erring members and national officers of the party for misconduct.

They said that by the constitution of the party, Abure, having been suspended by the NEC cannot continue to hold himself out as the national chairman of the party, “which is privilege only enjoyed by members of the party,” among other reliefs.

In the affidavit deposed to by Eragbe, he said an FCT High Court on April 5 restrained the 1st to 4th defendants parading themselves as national chairman and national officers of the party.

He averred that despite the said restraining order “hanging over their necks like the sword of Damocles,” they continued to parade themselves as national officers of the party in various fora and meetings in flagrant disobedience of the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.


Based on this, Eragbe said the NEC, in its meeting held on May 3, reached a resolution suspending the four of them.


He said the decision was based on their “numerous acts of contempt of the FCT High Court restraining order, convening, holding and participating in illegal NEC meeting on April 18 in Asaba, Delta.

He also said it was for their involvement in fraudulent activities and anti-party activities especially as it appertains to the conduct of pseudo gubernatorial primaries in Imo State, Bayelsa State and Kogi State on 15th April, 2023.

“That the 1st to 4th defendants conducted, presided and superintended the said pseudo or illegal primaries in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi State on 15th April 2023 in contempt of the restraining order of the FCT High Court referenced above.”

When the matter was called on Monday, Asamota, who appeared for the plaintiffs, told the court that the matter was slated for mention and all the defendants had been duly served.


He then prayed the court to adjourn the matter for hearing.

But Kehinde Edun, a lawyer who represented the suspended National Secretary, Umaru, said Abure, Clement and Opara had not been served with the court papers which necessitated their not being represented in court.

Justice Mohammed, therefore, directed the court registrar to crosscheck from the record if all the defendants were served, but the registrar confirmed that only Abure (1st defendant) was served with a hearing notice.

The judge, who adjourned the matter until Nov. 28 for further mention, ordered that the originating summons and hearing notices be served on all the necessary parties.
