ABUJA – NIGERIAN Youths, both Christians and Muslims, Tuesday, stormed the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) over the ongoing amendment at the National Assembly (NASS) of the Sharia Laws, insisting that alteration of section 262 and 277 of the 1999 Constitution as amended is Islamization. The bill sponsored by Hon. Abdullahi Balarabe Salame of Sokoto state seeking the increase in jurisdiction of the Sharia Court of Appeal of the FCT and Sharia Court of the states as it borders on the criminal justice system of the nation on the premises of the ‘Hudud and Qisas which are doctrines drawn from the books of the Holy Qur’an had passed the second reading by 19 May, 2016 on the floor of the house and now referred to the appropriate committee for consideration. Reacting to this, the protesters in their hundred, under the aegis of the Coalition of Civil Society and Faith Based Organization (CCSFBO), staged peaceful protest from the Unity Fountain to NASS Complex, carrying placard with various inscriptions; “Christians and Muslims are one”, “Do not alter section 262 and 277”, “Don’t abuse our freedom”, “We love Nigeria, we love our unity”, etc. Addressing newsmen during the rally, in Abuja, the Convener, Obande Gideon said “It beats our imagination that the leadership of the house will watch and encourage the introduction of a religious doctrine into the constitution of this great nation knowing fully well that we are a multi religious nation. “With the clear picture that some of the suggestions of the Sharia law for example; amputation and stoning to death etc are dehumanization, we see this as a clear and deliberate attempt to heat up the polity of this country bearing in mind that we have suffered a lot of crisis on religious lines. “We see this as a direct infringement on our fundamental human right as every citizen of this great nation is entitled to the freedom of worship, we thereby see the above move of engrafting the provisions of the sharia law into the sections 262 and 277 as a direct imposition of an Islamic doctrine on the Nigerian people and especially the Christian Community in Nigeria. “Though disappointed at the silence of those from other religious extraction in the house and those we consider as noble people in the House of Representatives despite their religious affiliation, we are totally disappointed that the Speaker and his team of leaders in the 8th assembly will allow an amendment that will temper with the rights of Nigerians despite the support and solidarity he has enjoyed from Nigerians which is totally devoid of religious or ethnic sentiments.” Also speaking, a representative of Muslim community, Ibrahim Dallah faulted the ongoing amendment, saying when people and even the government are trying to see that Nigerians live in harmony irrespective of the faiths, people of parliament should not be the one throwing cog in the wheel of progress. He urged both the leaders and the led to always strive towards peaceful coexistence in the country without recourse to religious or ethnic sentiments.

Calabar – The Hausa/Fulani community in Cross River has appealed to Gov. Ben Ayade to allocate a portion of land to herdsmen in the state in order to enable them graze their cattle. Mr Sani Baba-Gombe, Leader of the association in the state, made the appeal on Wednesday in an interview in Calabar. According to Baba-Gombe, the land if allocated will put an end to the crisis between herdsmen and farmers in the state. He said that the land would help the herdsmen to stop encroaching into people’s farmlands in search of food for their animals. He said that one of the main challenges facing herdsmen in the state was a grazing land, hence the need for the state government to come to their aid. “We use to instruct our people to always ask for permission before entering into any land to graze. “If I were to be a farmer, I won’t be pleased if any cattle come along to destroy my crops. “If a grazing land is provided, the animals would not stray into farms and this would further prevent any future crisis between herdsmen and farmers in the state. “All we are appealing for is a grazing land that is different from the farmlands; this would help us to stop encroaching into people’s farmlands in search of food for our cattle. “We have also sensitised our people to always have a good understanding with their host communities’’, he said. He further said that herdsmen in the state were tired of moving their cattle from one place to the other in search of food for them, hence the appeal for a reserved land for them.

Concerned Trade Unions in Ekiti State, comprising artisans and commercial drivers , Tuesday held an anti-workers rally in Ado-Ekiti, describing the ongoing strike declared by labour unions to press home for the payment of myriad of outstanding benefits as politically motivated. They also accused the leadership of labour of taking N25 million bribe to destabilize the Ayo Fayose-led government . The protesters led by the Chairmen of Road Transport Employers’ Association of Nigeria, Com. Samuel Agbede and National Union of Road Transport Workers, Com Clement Adekola, paraded placards of various inscriptions, massed at the popular Fajuyi Park and marched to Ijigbo to shore up supports for Fayose’s government. While speaking with newsmen, the RTEAN Chairman said the workers industrial came at the wrong time, saying he expected the labour leaders to take a cue from Ondo , Oyo , Benue and Osun States, who are owing more than five months salaries without the workers going on strike. In his words, “the workers cannot afford to paralyse the state because Governor Fayose has demonstrated transparency in the distribution of federal allocations accruing to Ekiti. The labour leaders were part of the negotiation that agreed that two month allocations should be lumped up to pay one month salary. “But as we speak now, two months allocations can’t even pay one month salary. The governor used March and April allocations to pay for December and where do they expect him to get money to pay full salary of about N2.6 billion monthly now? “We expect them to show understanding . But we are beginning to see that this strike has political undertone”, he alleged. He berated the labour unions for asking Fayose to spend the internally generated revenue to pay workers’ salary together with federal allocations, urging them to desist from arrogating the state to workers alone.

Nigeria don enter one chance |
Ahead of its one year anniversary, the Federal Government on Thursday, in Abuja, appreciated Nigerians for their “support, endurance and perseverance’’. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed gave the appreciation at a meeting with members of Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria (BON) The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the meeting was attended by four other ministers who spoke on the achievements and challenges in their ministries and interacted with those in attendance. They are Ministers of FCT, Mohammed Bello, Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, and Trade and Investment, Okechukwu Enelamah. Mohammed appreciated the unprecedented trust that Nigerians reposed in the leadership of President Muhammadu Buhari to steer the ship of state to safe shores. He acknowledged that the nation was passing through a very difficult situation with the loss of more than 60 per cent of national income due to the crash in the price of crude oil. The minister assured that the government would deliver on its election campaign promises to Nigerians. “This administration is aware that it was not elected to make excuses, but to put the nation back on a sound economic footing, ensure the security of lives and property and banish corruption. “We have therefore decided to turn the disaster that we inherited into a blessing by diversifying our economy away from the mono-product of oil, leveraging on agriculture, solid minerals as well as culture and tourism, among others. “In the words of Henry David Thoreau, all misfortune is but a stepping stone to fortune,” he said. The minister reassured Nigerians that the change promised was real, in spite of the tough situation of the moment. “Change is no instant coffee, it is a process. We are now laying a solid foundation for our country. “The road will be rough, but as the saying goes, the darker the night, the brighter the morning. Our long suffering people will surely smile again.” he said. Mohammed stressed that if the government had not been elected, there would have been no economy in the country. On the scorecard of the administration in the past one year, Mohammed said significant achievements were recorded in security, economy and the fight against corruption.
