| Politics › Why I Did Not Promote Myself To General As Nigeria’s Head Of State — Buhari by Chino48(op): 9:55am On Jul 06, 2013 |
A former Head of State, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) has given insight into why he remained a Major General rather than promote himself to the rank of full General while he reigned as Nigeria’s Head of State between December 31, 1983 and August 27, 1985. Speaking in Zaria on Friday at the presentation of the books, “Nigerian Military in Politics, 1966-2011″ and “Politics of Transition to Civil Rule In Nigeria”, Mr. Buhari said rather than promote himself after getting to power, he was more concerned with how to rebuild Nigeria and enthrone a regime of justice , accountability and transparency. He said he also believed the fact that his colleagues in the military asked him to lead the country did not make him the overall general of the armed forces. “It was the conviction of our regime that, being the Head of State and Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, it does not mean that you are the overall General,” Mr. Buhari, who spoke on military incursion in Nigerian politics, said. “My ultimate goal as at then was to ensure the integrity, justice, equity, accountability and transparency in the system. That was why I did away with unnecessarily promoting myself to General.” Apart from Major General Johnson Thomas Aguiyi-Ironsi, who ruled Nigeria between January 16, 1966 and July 19, 1966 (when he was killed in a bloody military coup), all other military predecessors and successors of Mr. Buhari were full Generals. No matter their ranks, they were quick in promoting themselves to General on assumption of office as heads of state. From Yakubu Gowon (August 1, 1966- July 29, 1975) who became head of state while he was lieutenant colonel, to Murtala Muhammed (July 29, 1975 – February 13, 1976), Olusegun Obasanjo (February 13, 1976-October 1, 1979) Ibrahim Babangida (August 27, 1985-August 27, 1993), Sani Abacha (November 17, 1993-June 8, 1998) and Abdulsalami Abubakar (June 8, 1998- May 29, 1999), whose ranks ranged between Brigadier and Major General before getting to power, all Nigeria’s military leaders left or were forced out as Generals. Mr. Buhari was asked to take over as head of state in 1983 after officers, led by Ibrahim Babangida, toppled the administration of the democratically elected President Shehu Shagari. For the about two years he was in power, he broke tradition by refusing to promote himself to the rank of General. It was as Major General that his regime was sacked by dissident officers, again led by Mr. Babangida, in 1985. Mr. Buhari was then detained in Benin till 1988. But Less than two years after getting to office, Mr. Babangida promoted himself to full general. That tradition of self-promotion continued through Mr. Abdulsalami, who retired as General in 1999, after handing over power to Mr. Obasanjo, who had a second coming as civilian president. Back to the books presentation, Mr. Buhari, who unsuccessfully contested for the office of president in 2003, 2007 and 2011, said past military regimes were dogged by corruption and abuse of office. He said the military had no place in politics but that past interventions were due to the failure of politicians to respect the rule of law and avoid “corruption and lack of accountability”. The chairman of the occasion and former Secretary-General of the defunct Peoples Redemption Party (PRP), Aliyu Umar, described the books as important resource materials in the study of Nigerian politics. “The two books are reflection of the present Nigerian political scenario,” he said. The books were published by Nuhu Ramalan, the head of political science department, Federal College Education, Zaria. http://premiumtimesng.com/news/140332-why-i-did-not-promote-myself-to-general-as-nigerias-head-of-state-buhari.html

| Politics › Boko Haram: Tension In Ibadan Over Massacre Of Yorubas In The North by Chino48(op): 8:43am On Jul 06, 2013 |
The gloom and anger that pervaded the camp of traders at the popular Bodija Market in Ibadan over last week’s killing of 10 of their colleagues by the Boko Haram sect in Mugunu, Borno State, is giving way to tension in the city. The arrival of the slain traders’ bodies in Ibadan on Tuesday stirred a torrent of tears and trauma among residents. Since then, Hausa traders in the city have been lying low. Findings by The Nation showed that there had been low turnout of Hausa hawkers at Mokola roundabout, Agodi-Gate Bus stop, Ojoo, Challenge, Beere and Molete areas, where they had hitherto been very visible. At Sabo, the part of the city dominated by Hausa people, most of the bureau de change operators, car dealers and other Hausa traders in the area confined themselves to the safety of their homes. The Sarkin Hausawa (Hausa leader) of Ibadanland, Dr. Ahmed Zugaru, said since the bodies of the slain Yoruba traders were brought back on Tuesday, the Hausa community had been on easy and had thus restricted themselves to their community. The Sarkin Hausawa, who spoke through the Waziri, Alhaji Atiku Yunusa, said the incident had adversely affected their businesses, and they are not really happy about the whole issue. He said: “The Oyo State Government has deployed the Police, SSS men and other security agents in strategic places to ensure our safety. Almost all the people that were killed were known to us and they were our friends. It is so sympathetic to lose them. “Provision of adequate security is not the duty of government alone. We the masses should wake up and look for ways to secure ourselves,” he said. Alhaji Yahaya Bashir, a car dealer in Sabo, said the Hausa community received the news of the slain traders with shock. We are one Nigeria and we believe that this will be over one day,” he said. Disowning the sect, Alhaji Bashir said the Hausa residents of Ibadan were not in support of the actions of the Boko Haram sect. “What they are doing is evil, as the Quran does not support the killing of one’s neighbour,” he said. The development constitutes a fresh challenge for residents of the city who are already contending with the scarcity of foodstuffs and the consequent inflation that has hit the city’s food market. A customer at Oje market in the metropolis, Mrs Bisi Oladeji, lamented the scarcity of dry pepper and onions. She said she had spent more than 30 minutes searching for the sellers of foodstuffs but could only find two whose prices were unbearably high. Mrs Kikelomo Ibrahim, who wanted to buy dry fish, shared a similar experience. She said she could not find the species of fish she wanted because the sellers, who are mostly Hausa, were nowhere to be found on Wednesday. Checks by The Nation revealed that the price of rice has risen from N350 to N500 per “congo”(the unit of measure). The price of white beans also rose from N220 to N240, while that of brown beans went from N350 to N500. Many shoppers were shocked at the sudden hike in prices. Concerned observers believe that Ibadan residents need to brace up for imminent food shortage and high prices of food items. Some Yoruba traders under the auspices of Bodija Market Traders Association, who obtain their supply of foodstuffs from the North, vowed to suspend trips to the North until the insecurity in the area is taken care of. Evidently, the violence in the troubled region has led to a rise in the prices of foodstuffs like beans, maize, sorghum, millet and rice in Ibadan markets. This is more so because much of the food supplies to the South West come from the North. They include food items like tomatoes, pepper, yams and cattle. Confirming the sudden rise in the prices of foodstuffs, the Secretary of the association, Mr. Sola Faribido, stated that the latest killings were “the most disastrous and have made all the traders to decide that they are not going back to the North to buy foodstuff.” He said: “This is the second time they are killing our people this year alone. In May, they killed four. Last Friday, they killed 10. We cannot continue to risk our lives. “We had initially put a stop to such business trips until we heard that the declaration of state of emergency had driven them (Boko Haram) out of the place. That was what encouraged those who met their untimely death to go on the trip. Now, see the result.” According to him, as long as it is only their Hausa counterparts who can interact with their kinsmen and manage to bring few items from the North, supply would be low and prices would be affected. Once they monopolise the trade, they can afford to sell at exorbitant prices,” he said. While analysts continue to observe the effect of the killings on food supply, members of the Oyo State House of Assembly are spitting fire, demanding compensation from the Federal Government for families of the slain traders. The lawmakers have also told the traders to suspend further trips to the North. Hon. Olusegun Olaleye recalled that a similar incident occurred on May 5. Pushing for adequate compensation for the families of the deceased persons, Hon. Adesope argued: “Apart from their family members whom they lost, valuable items were also lost and we know what this means to petty traders.” Hon. Joshua Olagunju added: “In pursuit of their daily livelihood, they (traders) lost their money and lives. The first responsibility of any serious government is the safety of its citizens. It is when the lives of citizens are secured that the country can develop. This country is not secured. It does not matter where you live; we are one Nigeria. The Federal Government should act fast to tackle insecurity, because if they do not, we are opening the door to famine and rise in crime rate”. Hon. Ibrahim Bolomope says: “If you watch the sequence of this dastardly act, they are not only after the traders’ lives but also their money. Oyo State indigenes are being killed like chickens and we cannot continue to fold our hands. Government should look for a way to act as an intermediary between the traders and their customers in the North. The government of this state must let the Federal Government know formally.” Wailing uncontrollably and held by sympathisers, Mrs Omobola Oyetunde, mother of one of the victims (Femi Oyetunde), described her deceased son as the breadwinner of the family and a God-fearing, kind and hard-working man. She said: “My son was on his way to look for his means of livelihood before he met his untimely death. Where do I start from? I am old and cannot work again. Who will take care of me? He left his wife and three children (two girls and a boy) behind. “The last time I saw him was on the 23rd of June when he came to greet me and told me that he was embarking on a long trip to the North. I bade him safe journey. I later called him to hear his voice on Friday before he was killed some hours later by these evil people called Boko Haram.” Demanding for justice, she called on the security operatives in the country to embark on a thorough investigation aimed at bringing the culprits to justice. Mrs Oyetunde, an octogenarian, called on the government to help her to sponsor the three children in school and feed them. She gave the names of the children as Damilola (6), Deborah (4) and Ayomide. The boss of the said victim, Mr Abdul-Raman Adesina a.k.a. King, a beans merchant at the popular Orita-Merin Market, said his loss is unquantifiable. Adesina noted that among all his apprentice, the deceased was the most loyal and honest, adding that he (Adesina) lost more than N4 million to the incident. Adesina said: “Femi Oyetunde worked for me for more than six years and we never had any cause to quarrel. He was loyal to the core. The last time I saw him was on the 26th of June when my brother died and he consoled me. Together, we dug the grave where my brother was buried, not knowing that I would soon be digging his grave too.” Adesina said he was heavily indebted and did not know how he would recover from it. He said more than 60 per cent of the money was a loan he obtained from a mircro-finance bank. He said:”Selling of foodstuffs is our only means of livelihood and we cannot keep away from it. The government should come to our aid and assist us financially.” In a telephone chat, the State Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs Bisi Ilobanafor, allayed the fear of insecurity especially among the non-indigenes in the city because the security agencies had beefed up security. She said: “All the DPOs in each unit has been put on high alert, while other eagle-eyed detectives have been stationed at strategic points within the market and other areas where the Hausa community are resident in order to avert possible crisis”. The police spokesperson also said immediately the crisis occurred, the DPO in Bodija Market called the leaders of the Hausa and Yoruba traders in the market to calm down and maintain peace and order. She urged residents to peacefully coexist regardless of religion, tribe or political affiliation. She assured all the Hausa in the state to be calm, adding that their safety would be guaranteed. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/news/boko-haram-tension-in-ibadan-over-slain-traders/

But how did the op got in the know about what Anambra is planning on the sea-side. This is part of greater plan by Anambra government in making Onitsha a megacity. Anambra has the longest shoreline along River Niger in Nigeria. This compulsory acquisition took off with the creation of Onitsha Industrial Harbour estate, where major companies as Sabmiller, Orange Drugs, Chrisoral group, etc are now zone. Government has acquired entire shoreline stretch from Headbridge to Atani. The next government will start immediately after the Onitsha Port and continue up to Anam end of the shoreline purely for upscale business district. This is part of greater industrial masterplan of ANIDS in Onitsha and Nnewi environs. |

| Politics › IBB: I’m Proud Of The June 12 Credibility by Chino48(op): 8:21pm On Jul 04, 2013 |
Former military president, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, in an interview with Aisha Wakaso expressed concerns about the state of the nation, saying his administration, despite the annulment of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, took the credit for the freest and fairest election in the country. Excerpts: How do you feel about June 12? Well, it has come and gone. Whatever I feel about it, at least, Nigerians agreed on one thing, that we, the administration succeeded in holding one of the best and freest elections ever held in this country. That remains the historical part. The consequence is something else but at least, something that people thought could not be done, we proved that it was doable. So, I can say I feel proud. We may not have achieved the objective but at least, we conducted an election that was not rigged, an election that was not marred by violence, an election that is still being referred to in the country. Do you have any regrets about June 12? Whatever happens, I kept on saying it; I accept full responsibility of June 12. I just told you that it was one of the best elections ever held in this country though it became problematic. It had its pluses and minuses. It is not really a regret but it could be approved. Do you share the beliefs that June 12 or Abiola should be accorded a National recognition? Sometimes, I wonder when people talk about recognition. Before June 12 and before Abiola went into politics, Abiola had been a recognised Nigerian in Nigeria because of the activities he had done. He succeeded in touching the lives of a lot of people, a lot of community both within his environment and outside his environment. As far as recognition is concerned, what he stood for will stand him out amongst patriotic Nigerians. What is your opinion on the state of the nation? As I have been saying, Nigeria is a developing country and like any other developing country, it has its own problems- problems of development; problems of not being experienced and so on. I think what we are experiencing now. We are following the part of what other countries went through. I think our ability to make a lesson out of what is happening now and to make the best use of it for the future of this country. This is what we should be doing now. Do you think this government is able to tackle corruption? Corruption has always been what we have always complained about. My only advice is to sort of try to identify the causes and the sources and take measures that will either block or rectify it. I'll give an example of what we did during my administration. We found out that in the Nigeria National Supply company, there was a huge fraud in getting the license and other activities, so the best we tried to do was to free the whole economic activities, open the economy more and the people don't have to go through the supply company. You see, once there is control in anything you do, it becomes a fertile ground for corruption. So, by opening up of the economy, then the people get to know that they don't get to rely on government for everything because most of this corruption is within government circus. What do you think of 2015? It is a year that we all look forward to and pray that we will see and watch it. In the Nigeria calendar, in 2015, we will have an election and we pray we see it. With the way things are going, are you worried about the state of the Nigeria Governors Forum and what do you think about the alleged interference of the President? I think again the Governors’ Forum is a forum that has no constitutional provision but because people want to work for the country- people of like minds gather together to sit down and map-out how best this great country of ours could be developed and managed. The Governors Forum is like any other forum or association; it is only that it is the association of governors. Governors happen to meet and they decided to democratise it and it becomes democratic. I think they should abide by what they are telling us to do and if they can't do that, I think one feels a bit disappointed because everyone of them, 36 of them are suppose to run an election in their respective state- be it the election of the local government or ward or other. One would have thought that 36 people are not 2 million or 3 million people or 10 million people in the case of the 36 states of the federation and if 36 of them cannot manage themselves then there is something wrong. What do you have to say about the President's interference? I think it is unfair on the President to say he is interfering. These governors were elected just like you, so what is the President interfering for- to do what? I feel if something is going wrong in the country or state which would eventually attract the national interest, yes the federal government can intervene, just in the case of what he did in declaring the state of emergency. I don't think it is fair to say the President is interfering. Looking at the crisis engulfing the PDP, don't you think it is high time elders like you intervened? It is surely giving some of us who have been the founding fathers of the party concern. We are concerned. It is just because the party discipline has since broken down. So, I feel disappointed with the way things are happening now. I think what is happening happens; I think this is not the first time we see party crisis in Nigeria or outside Nigeria. What is important is the ability of members of the party to come back on line. So, I'm looking forward to a time when every member of the PDP will say we have not lived up to the expectation of the people, let us go back to the drawing board; let's sit and talk. What did we do wrong? How can we get it right? How do we establish the confidence that the people have in us? This sort of thing is doable but if they don't address it and find a solution to it, then I'm afraid the public, the ordinary Nigerians would lose faith and confidence in it and if that happens, it has serious consequence. Recently, there have been stories flying around about you and General Buhari and that you threatened to expose him. What is it, really? Which story? Well, the answer is no. There is no problem between General Buhari and I. General Buhari and I enjoy the best of relationship. I cherish our lives and time and we have passed the stage now of trying to talk of mundane things. We love this country; we fought for this country. So, I don't think there is anything that will cause friction between me and him. Maybe it’s the imagination of the media. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/ibb-i-m-proud-of-the-june-12-credibility/152403/
