The Academic Staff Union of Universities at the Osun State University has called on Governor Rauf Aregbesola to sack the governing council of the university. The ASUU said this in a communiqué obtained by our correspondent on Monday. The union Chairman, Dr. Oluseye Abiona; Vice-Chairman, Abanikanda M.O; Secretary, Olaosebikan Wende; Financial Secretary, Banwo Alabi, and the Legal Adviser, Adeniyi Nasir, signed the communiqué. The union held a congress last Thursday at the university to debunk the allegation by the council that the Vice-Chancellor of UNIOSUN, Prof. Basir Okesina, was using ASUU chairman to attack the council. The union said Abiona was not pursuing any selfish agenda nor was the VC using him. The report read, “To say that ASUU chairman is pursuing personal interest is a manifestation of mischief or malice and a calculated attempt to divide our union. ASUU is a union of intellects, which cannot be used for pursuing personal agenda. Anybody who thinks along this direction is indeed out of tune with university administration of modern days. “It is also very strange to read that the Prof. Gabriel Olawoyin-led Governing Council accused Dr. Abiona and others yet to be named as agents being used to perpetrate the culture of corruption when the council itself is an embodiment of fraud. “We use this medium to call on Governor Rauf Aregbesola and Visitor to the university to caution the
governing council or get them removed if they have nothing to offer
the university.” The ASUU and the Council have been at loggerheads over the allegation that the latter cancelled some academic courses, including part- time and postgraduate programmes run in the university.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Zambian President ‘king Cobra’ Dies In UK by Bomoobacom(op): 10:15am On Oct 29, 2014
Nairaland GeneralZambian President ‘king Cobra’ Dies In UK by Bomoobacom(op): 10:14am On Oct 29, 2014
Zambian President
Michael Sata, who was
nicknamed “King
Cobra” for his fiery
tongue and larger-
than-life personality, has died, the country’s
national radio said
Wednesday morning. He was 77. Officials did not
disclose a cause of
death. But Sata had
traveled to London for
unspecified medical
treatment last week. He died in a hospital
there Tuesday evening,
the government-
owned Zambia Daily
Mail said. Sata took office in
September 2011 after
the incumbent
President tearfully
conceded in a televised
speech, a rare moment in a continent known
for volatile elections
and leaders fighting
their defeat tooth-and-
nail. Analysts hailed his
election as an example
of an African nation
with a vibrant
democracy. But not too
long after he took office, speculation
swirled over his lack of
visibility — which
especially stood out for
a man who loves the
spotlight. Aides said his absence
was a result of private
international visits,
and maintained those
trips had nothing to do
with medical treatment.
Sata was born in the
Zambian town of
Mpika in 1936, and
worked as police
officer during the
colonial administration. He
later trained as a pilot
in Russia before
returning home and
helping develop
housing projects in the nation. During Zambia’s
struggle for
independence from
Britain, he jumped into
politics, and later
founded the Patriotic Front — then an
opposition party. His
campaign events
electrified crowds
drawn to his
extroverted nature and fight for the average
man. Sata, who narrowly
lost to his predecessor
Rupiah Banda in 2008,
was a major critic of
Chinese investment in
the nation’s copper industry. He especially
targeted foreign
companies that
mistreat Zambian
workers, making him
popular among the nation’s miners who
accused the Chinese of
deplorable work
conditions. While in office, he
warned foreign
companies that while
their investment is
crucial to his nation,
they must abide by the labor laws. The veteran politician
has served in other
positions, including
city council, member of
parliament and cabinet
minister for local government. Before his election, the
tiny, copper-rich nation
in southern Africa had
been ruled by the same
party for decades
PoliticsWike Challenges Amaechi To Debate On Corruption by Bomoobacom(op): 7:53pm On Oct 27, 2014
The former Minister of
State for Education,
Chief Nyesom Wike, on
Monday, challenged the
Rivers State Governor,
Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, to a debate on corruption. Wike, who accused
Amaechi of being
corrupt, vowed that
the governor must
account for any
fraudulent act while in government. The ex-minister, who
was the chief of staff
to Amaechi in the past,
vowed to wrestle
power from the All
Progressives Congress in the state. Speaking when he
visited the leadership
of the Peoples
Democratic Party in the
state at the party’s
secretariat in Port Harcourt, Wike
explained that he had
what it would take to
unseat the APC in the
forthcoming election. He said, “I’ve come to
formally inform you,
members of the State
Working Committee
and leaders of our
great party of my ambition to vie for the
2015 governorship of
our state on the
platform of the PDP. “As you have heard, it
was for this purpose I
resigned as a member
of the Federal
Executive Council and I
believe that without you, no success can be
made. “I also have come to
ask for permission to
visit each of the 23
local government areas
of the State with my
team. I had to inform you before I proceed
on such visit to ensure
that we achieve our
dream.” He, however, warned
against election of
delegates that would
betray the party at the
forthcoming
congresses.

As the Osun election tribunal adjourned

is now in dilemma over the likely outcome of
the tribunal judgement
as he is currently
packing his load

It is of no doubt that

PoliticsResource Control May Split Nigeria — Northern Delegates by Bomoobacom(op): 7:12am On Jul 13, 2014
The Northern Delegates’ Forum at the National Conference has said the proposals by the Committee on Devolution of Power on the ownership and control of Nigeria’s mineral resources may split the country. The forum said it was opposed to some of the proposals to protect the unity of the country. The conference had witnessed rowdy sessions due to deep divisions among delegates on some proposals by the committee. The rowdy session at the conference on Thursday had forced the chairman, Justice Idris Kutigi, to adjourn plenary abruptly till Monday. Speaking to our correspondent on Friday in an interview, a former National Publicity Secretary for the Arewa Consultative Forum and spokesperson for the forum, Mr. Anthony Sani, stated that the deep divisions between the northern and southern delegates on resource control were based on their opposing views on how best to govern Nigeria. The NDF’s spokesperson said, “The North believes resource control or ownership by constituent parts of the country would make the centre weak and tilt the country towards a confederal arrangement — a harbinger for split. “The South is not bothered by such a notion, preferring, instead, that the federating units be allowed to develop at their own pace without minding whether some sections live on the cutting edge, while others live on the knife edge of survival. “That is to say, it does not matter to such school of thought if Nigerians live as if they are on different continents.”
PoliticsAdamawa PDP Insists On Nyako’s Removal by Bomoobacom(op): 7:05am On Jul 13, 2014
Hopes for a truce between the Adamawa State House of Assembly and Governor Murtala Nyako, dimmed on Saturday following the insistence of Adamawa Peoples Democratic Party’s stakeholders on the governor’s removal. The small but powerful group, which comprises leaders and elders of the state chapter of the party, has insisted that nothing short of Nyako leaving office will be acceptable. The Special Adviser to the Adamawa State Governor, Mr. Phineas Elisha, confirmed this in an interview with journalists in Yola on Saturday. He said all the efforts to resolve the crises were being truncated by the PDP stakeholders, who were bent on removing Governor Murtala Nyako, through illegalities. Elisha explained that the desperation showed by the group was such that they had issued open threats to PDP legislators in the House to ensure that the impeachment sails through or risk sanctions. He said “The whole impeachment move is being staged-managed by the so-called Adamawa PDP stakeholders who are trying to draw President Goodluck Jonathan into a thing he knew nothing of.” According to him, the governor is not
deterred as he has embarked on another peace mission to Abuja where he plans to meet with his accusers to resolve the stalemate for peace to reign in Abuja. Meanwhile, the fate of the embattled Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako and his deputy, Bala Ngilari, now hangs in the balance.
PoliticsWhat Inflated Fayose’s Ego ’ll Soon Blow Open–jide Awe by Bomoobacom(op): 12:17am On Jul 13, 2014
Jide Awe, Chairman, All Progressives Congress in Ekiti State, in this interview with FISAYO FALODI and KAMORUDEEN OGUNDELE, says the governorship election won by Ayo Fayose in Ekiti State was far from free and fair After the June 21 election, there was insinuation that Governor Kayode Fayemi lost the election because he was far from the grass roots. Do you agree? You have called it insinuation. Insinuation may be an opinion expressed, which is not a fact. The fact of the matter is that we have served the Ekiti people within the last three and half years to the best of our knowledge. And service is multi- dimensional. We believe sincerely that we have done our bit. I want to believe that our best may not be good enough. We don’t want army siege to continue in Ekiti, that was one of the reasons the governor went on air to congratulate the so- called winner. Again, if what the people are saying is that people should be eating corn and boli and epa on the street, I think some of us are cultured and have a background which is not synonymous with Ayo Fayose’s brand of hooliganism. The governorship seat has its own etiquette and it is not good to throw norms and ethics to the winds because you want to gain position. As I have said, to the best of our knowledge, we have served the people. So, why did Fayemi concede defeat? Why not? Fayose challenged Fayemi that he did not construct any road from the start to the finish, is it true? You can see for yourself. But Fayose said that all the roads Fayemi rehabilitated were built by him. That was Fayose’s opinion, which is different from the fact. That was why I said opinions are free. According to Kayode Fayemi, opinions are free; facts are sacred. Do you mean Fayose is lying? Facts are sacred. You are journalists. Go and start from the boundaries between Ondo and Ekiti states; and Igbara-Ode down to Ado-Ekiti and from Ikere end of the road to Ado- Ekiti or you go from Ikole to Iluomoba down to Ijan or you move from Erijinyan to Ilawe, then from Ilawe to Ado-Ekiti and you go farther to the township roads in Ado-Ekiti, if these are constructed from start to the finish, then you can judge. Whatever pleases anybody, he can open his mouth and say it. We knew what the roads were when we came in and we know what they are now. One of the claims by the incoming governor was that Fayemi did not start the construction of any road and that he only built on the existing roads. I know that the road that comes from
Lagos to Ibadan was constructed in 1977, I don’t know of any other road if you want to reach Lagos from Ibadan. It has been constructed by succeeding governments. The road from Abuja to Kaduna is still the road. Fayose said Ekiti was eighth position in public examinations before he left office, having brought it from 34th position. Is it true that the standard of education fell under Fayemi’s administration? The Ministry of Education will answer that question. But we knew when we
came on board that the educational standard of Ekiti was at the lowest ebb. The conduct of West African Examination Council’s Senior Secondary Certificate Examination became terrible when people would come from neighbouring states and hibernate in Ekiti for two weeks and at the end of the day got results. We knew when groundnut vendors would be selling WAEC question papers, that was the situation we met in Ekiti State. So, the Ministry of Education is in a position to give data.
What we know is that we have upgraded the standard from 22 per cent to 75 per cent. It is not a joke. Ordinary eyes cannot see some of these things we are talking about unless through serious research. And you cannot give what you don’t have. What is the educational pedigree of the person talking? So, that is rostrum talk; when somebody mounts the rostrum and starts talking, he may be expressing his opinion because some of the statements may not be factual, that is what we are saying. Is it not strange that someone who claimed to have performed well was rejected by the people at the poll? It is not his claim. Performance is in the court of the people. It is not Fayemi’s claim that he had performed well. It is what the people are saying. If you have been coming to Ekiti State
in the last seven years, you would be able to see the difference between what existed and what now exists. So, it is not Fayemi’s claim that he had performed well. So why was he rejected by the people through their voting? That is election; it is politics. What is sauce for the geese may not be sauce
for the gander. So, that is why we have choice to make. Shortly after the election, some people accused Fayose of inducing voters with rice, but Fayose said later that APC, your party, also shared cooked rice to seek voters’ support. What is your reaction to this? Cooked rice? The issue of rice or no rice, I believe, should have been forgotten by now. We are looking at the substance. You are looking at the surface rather, you don’t look at the depth. So, if you are now making rice an issue in an election period, it stands logic on its head. And to me, it is very debasing that 21st century Ekiti man queues up for rice and it becomes an issue in an election. It gives me concern as an Ekiti man and at the same time calls for questioning. If you are talking of pounded yam, then we believe that it is Ekiti’s favourite. If Governor Fayemi has conceded defeat to Fayose, why is APC still going to court? It is very noble in this part of the world that somebody will concede defeat. The APC is saying that there are some things it wants to unravel. And I made a statement in an advertorial that parts of the landmines that had been planted for 2015 general elections were detonated in Ekiti, which I called a very bad experiment. In a situation where you put the whole state under siege two weeks before the election, you militarised the whole place, even with dogs and horses. Election cannot be a war more than what we experienced in Ekiti State in the name of election. So, I believe some of these things, other than the result of the election, need to be questioned not because of now but for the future. In a situation where you mobilised soldiers from their barracks to intimidate, to hijack, to suppress and to arrest innocent citizens 72 hours before the election, that is an aberration and strange to democracy. You cannot continue to use soldiers to suppress democracy and expect democracy to grow. These are some of the things the leadership of APC said they are going to examine. Two weeks earlier or a week before the election, we cried out that ballot papers were brought to Ekiti and were being thumbprinted
in the compound of the Director- General of Fayose’s Campaign Group, Chief Anisulowo, and two people were arrested in the process and taken to Abuja, we have not heard anything about them. Three weeks to the election, a lorry load of materials was seized at Efon-Alaaye and brought back to Ado-Ekiti, but INEC said they were used materials meant for disposal. At the end of the day, 3,000 ink pads meant for the 2014 Ekiti State election were found in the lorry. That is under investigation and at the same time, the type of ink brought for the election was vanishing ink, because the real ink meant for the election had been removed from the INEC store under the guise of taking away disposable materials. When you put all these together, they are meant to be questioned. The Yoruba will say that a hunter who sacrifices a big game to Ogun is doing so because of the future. There are allegations that contracts awarded by Fayemi were paybacks to his godfathers, is it true? Well, I am not in a position to know which contracts were awarded. I am the party chairman, I am not a part of the contract awarding committee but to the best of my knowledge, all the works we have done; the construction of roads, the renovation of schools, various vehicles bought for traditional rulers and Iya-loja and some other projects are ongoing, must be executed by human beings. So, whoever the contracts were awarded to must have fixed addresses because there is a Bureau of Public Procurement and due process in Ekiti State and if contracts were awarded without due process, they could be subjected to investigation, even while the governor is in office or immediately after he leaves office. Fayose described former Governor Segun Oni as korofo (empty shell) because he could not deliver his local government. Do you agree with this? What Fayose has seen to have increased his ego will soon be opened to the public by calling a former occupant of governorship seat all sorts of names. What has inflated his ego will soon be blown open, I won’t say more than that. What is your reaction to a claim that Fayemi’s Chief of Staff, Yemi Adaramodu, wielded much power and that the development contributed to the governor’s defeat? Why are they just saying it now? A Chief of Staff serves his master and the master has the right to hire and fire. I think he is in the best position to complain, as the man who hired him. That is why I said that people are free to express their opinions. Do you agree that federal might contributed to Fayose’s victory in the election? Federal might? Didn’t you see it displayed overtly. The might that could not be used at Chibok; at Sambisa forest, was now brought to Ekiti and by the time they were unleashing terror on our people here, Boko Haram insurgents too were at work, doing what they know
how to do best. If the level of force used in Ekiti was taken to Chibok, by now the over 200 Nigerian girls abducted by the Boko Haram insurgents would have been rescued. The Yoruba people will say ofi ete sile, onpa lapalapa (misplacing priority). If such level of force was used in the nation’s borders, we would have detected where those girls were kept for more than 85 days. So, I believe that the federal might was overtly used as if Ekiti State does not belong to the federation called Nigeria, when a President can decide to unleash terror on his people in the name of election; Nigeria we hail thee. Shortly before the election, as part of the strategies to win support from the grass roots, APC distributed vehicles to some groups. Now that the party lost the election, will it retrieve them from the beneficiaries? Are you talking of the government or
the party? Are the party and government not the same? No, they cannot be the same; there is a thin line of demarcation. We cannot distribute vehicles to the people, but the government can do so. The beneficiaries of the vehicles are citizens of Ekiti State. If what the government has done was not proper, there are ways it could be redressed and not all what the government did could be termed as inducement. So, the government has the duty to satisfy the yearnings and aspirations of the people. EFCC says Fayose has a case to answer, is that kind of hope for APC? He has always been having cases to answer. What is your comment on a claim that Fayemi’s plan to create local governments towards the end of his administration was meant to cause problem for the incoming government? Creating local government development areas is a process. The question you should have asked is, when did this process start? The process started almost three months before the election. People were asked to submit memoranda and they were submitted and a committee was set up to receive the memoranda and after that, a tour was organised by the committee to visit all parts of the state where interests were expressed. Later, towns and villages that want to work together were interviewed and the committee now sent its report to the governor.
Foreign AffairsAfghan Elections: US To Help Solve Poll Row by Bomoobacom(op): 11:46pm On Jul 12, 2014
US Secretary of State John Kerry is
holding a second day of talks in
Afghanistan to try to end a row over
the result of the presidential poll. Kerry is meeting candidates Ashraf
Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah, who
accuse each other of electoral fraud,
at the US compound in the capital,
Kabul. Ghani, the winner of preliminary
results in the second round, has
backed an “extensive audit” of
votes. Meanwhile, 10 people have been
killed in bomb attacks blamed on the
Taliban. Eight civilians, including several
women, died when a roadside bomb
blew up in southern Kandahar
province. A bomb in the eastern city
of Jalalabad, in Nangarhar province,
claimed two more lives. Afghanistan’s current President
Hamid Karzai, who came to office
after the US-led overthrow of the
Taliban, is stepping down after more
than 10 years. US officials said they were hoping for
a breakthrough on Saturday after the
first day of negotiations remained
inconclusive. The US Secretary of State, who arrived
in Kabul on Friday in a hastily
arranged visit, earlier welcomed Mr
Ghani’s backing of an audit. “No-one is declaring victory at this
time. The results have yet to be
finalised and so those questions
have to be resolved and I’m very
appreciative that Dr Ghani respects
that,” Mr Kerry told journalists ahead of starting the talks. The US has been concerned at
reports that Abdullah, who
preliminary results suggest lost the
election, is planning a “parallel
government”. Results announced by Afghanistan’s
election officials give Ghani 56.44 per
cent of votes in the 14 June run-off,
with Mr Abdullah gaining 43.45 per
cent. The results were markedly different
from those achieved in the first
round of voting, held in April. In that round, Abdullah fell just short
of an outright majority, with 44.9 per
cent, with Mr Ghani second at
31.5 per cent. Votes are already being re-checked
at more than 7,000 polling stations –
nearly a third of the total number. Correspondents say recounts could
significantly alter the final result, due
on July 22. The UN Assistance Mission to
Afghanistan warned it would be
“premature” for either side to claim
victory. There are also concerns about a
further deterioration in the security
situation. Taliban militants have been testing
the limits of the Afghan army in
recent weeks, with a major offensive
in the southern province of Helmand. The withdrawal of foreign troops by
the end of this year will be the litmus
test of whether more than a decade
of training and investment in
building up Afghanistan’s own
security forces has paid off, correspondents say. President Barack Obama has said the
US remained committed to
Afghanistan provided the incoming
president signed a security
agreement. Both Abdullah and Ghani have said
they are committed to signing the
deal with the US that would allow a
small force to stay on.
PoliticsTerrorists Planning To Attack FCT Transport Service -police by Bomoobacom(op): 11:39pm On Jul 12, 2014
The Nigeria Police Force has said that
credible intelligence at its disposal
indicated that terrorists have
perfected a plot to carry out attacks
on the Abuja transport sector. The Force stated that the attacks
which are intended to cause panic
amongst residents and visitors alike
are planned to be perpetrated
through suicide bombings, or
through the use of Improvised Explosive Devices concealed in
luggage, bags, cans, and other
receptacles. A statement by the Force Public
Relations Officer, Frank Mba, in Abuja
on Saturday said the Police High
Command had ordered the FCT
Commissioner of Police in particular
and other CPs in adjoining States to beef-up security at major parks
around Abuja and its environs. The Police also enjoined the general
public, particularly those within and
outside the Federal Capital Territory
to be vigilant and report any
suspicious persons, objects,
movements or activities to the Security Forces without delay. It urged the citizens not to panic,
noting that Security Forces are
working round the clock to
neutralize and effectively deal with
the threat. As part of additional efforts at
forestalling the attacks and
strengthening security around the
transport sector, the Police High
Command called on the management
of motor parks to ensure that travelers and workers’ safety comes
first. It charged them to constantly
conduct regular and routine
scanning of their environments while
insisting on carrying out a thorough
search on passengers and their bags
as well as vehicles entering and leaving their parks. It also advised that such searches
must involve the active participation
of the passengers and warned that
any item or luggage unaccompanied
by any passenger must be rejected
outright and should not be allowed into the vehicle. Passengers are also enjoined to be
on the lookout for any passenger,
who might come in with luggage but
would attempt to disembark without
such luggage. It said, “While operators of motor
parks are strongly advised to
discourage overnight parking of
vehicles at motor parks, particularly
by unknown persons, the Police
authorities further advised motor park workers to reduce congestion
at the parks by disallowing the
indiscriminate parking of private
cars, tricycles and motorcycles at the
precincts of motor parks.” In addition, the Police High Command
tasked the general public in other
places outside the motor parks to
also monitor their environments “as
the terrorists may likely shift
attention having known that their plots have been uncovered.” Meanwhile, the Police can be reached
on the following hot lines: FCT Police
Control Room – 07057337653, Force
Intelligence Bureau Operations Room
– 08139379245, 08075650624 and
National Emergency Line -112.
