Disturbing news

The World Bank has cancelled its funding support to the ‘Second Pool of Long Term Investment for Flood Control’ project in Oyo State over the failure of Governor Seyi Makinde-led government to conclude the contract award of the successful bidders for the four lots under the bank’s international competitive bidding process.

SaharaReporters had in February 2021 reported that the state risked losing the project over its proposed award to companies allegedly linked to Makinde and other top government officials.


Seyi Makinde
The state government, through the Ibadan Urban Flood Management Project (IUFMP) headed by one Dayo Ayorinde, had lobbied the World Bank to undermine its procurement strategy and award the project to companies linked to the governor and his cronies over N12 billion above the lowest bidders in the four lots (3A, 3B, 4A, 4B).

“About four different petitions were written to World Bank with respect to the manipulation of the process by the state government headed by the commissioner for finance, Akinola Ojo. So some representatives of the bank decided to meet the governor but were shocked when he told them to leave the project and go to another state if they are not ready to give the contact to companies he nominated,” a source had told SaharaReporters.

However, in a letter conveying the cancellation of the project and the withdrawal of $52 million (N26billion) funding, the bank frowned over the state government’s failure to “meet the basic condition for the no objection for the three companies that emerged under the World Bank supervised bidding process since May 05, 2021 and the poor response time of the government to IUFMP activities which largely has affected the agency ability to perform effectively.”

The letter was signed by World Bank Country Director for Nigeria, Western and Central Africa Region, Mr Shubham Chaudhuri, and addressed to Governor Makinde.

Speaking to SaharaReporters, a source familiar with the project berated the Makinde-led government for failing to announce and submit names of qualified contractors to the bank, thereby leading to its cancellation.

“The bidding process has taken unprecedented 8 months from bid opening to the temporary award of the contracts due basically to the insistence of Governor Makinde to award the project to his preferred though unqualified companies,” he said.

“The government through the office of the former Commissioner for Finance, Akinola Ojo (Who is the supervising Ministry of the Project) has since been lackadaisical in responding to all the conditions precedent to final approval by the World bank since May 2021 when the conditional approval was given.

“The low capacity of IUFMP on safe guard and project management, government bureaucracy and elongated approval stages in the state coupled with the lack of progress on the implementation of the First Pool of Long Term Investment (PLT11) which was awarded in April 17, 2020 to companies linked to the governor cronies, has resulted in the decision by World Bank not to extend the Ibadan Urban Flood Management Projects beyond June 2022 closing date.

“The World Bank has also informed the governor that they are in agreement with the Nigerian government of President Muhammadu Buhari to initiate cancellation of additional $100 million before June 2022 project closing date with the attendant effect of the said World Bank diverting the funds to the Northern States of Nigeria in accordance to President Buhari’s request to the World Bank Board to scale up supports and help rebuild the Northern states which have been ravaged by the Boko Haram insurgency at the detriment of the Southern states of the country.

“Ibadan Urban Flood Management Project (IUFMP) is a World Bank-assisted Project established and secured the funding by the former Executive Governor of Oyo state, His Excellency, Senator Ishaq Abiola Ajimobi to respond to the issues of flooding that the state had been experiencing.

“Unfortunately the present government who did not know how much efforts required to access World bank fund is on the verge of losing the funding through their non-diligence prosecution of the projects. The incident of flooding has been a recurring event in Ibadan, the third largest metropolitan area in Nigeria, the most recent flooding event took place on the 26th August, 2011 resulted in a death toll of more than 220 people and serious damages to assets, properties and infrastructures, making many homeless and destitute.

“The incident was reminiscent of the Ogunpa flood disaster that occurred in the city in 1980, but on a larger scale and with more devastation this time around. Over one hundred (400+) lives were reportedly lost with property damage estimated in billions of naira.

“With all these, one would have expected The Project Implementation Unit (PIU) of IUFMP and Oyo state government under Engr. Seyi Makinde to work assiduously towards a full implementation of the Project’s programme of works, so as to ensure achievement of the anticipated outcomes of community flood resilience in Ibadan and environs.

“But sadly instead Governor Seyi Makinde has allowed personal aggrandizement and greed to over shadow the bigger picture of curbing flood disaster in Oyo State.”

ACRIMONY by Tyler Perry (2018)

Marcus Marcus from Unilag

August 18, 2018
OLUSOLA FABIYI writes on the problem likely to be faced by the main opposition party, the Peoples Democratic Party while picking its presidential candidate for the 2019 elections

By this time four years ago, the Peoples Democratic Party was battling to hold on to its precious members. Despite being the ruling party at the centre at that time, the party was not considered priceless to some of its die-hard members, who were then considered as its first eleven.

In droves, they trooped off from under its umbrella to pick the broom of the All Progressives Congress. The mass exodus that hit the PDP then which was arrogantly managed by the national leadership of the party, made it to become the opposition party in 2015.

It was the first time the party, which had proudly boasted that it would rule for 60 unbroken years at the centre, tasted defeat at the federal level.

Almost four years after, the party had yet to recover from the shock bestowed on it by the disappointed electorate and its members.

Conversely, things seem to be changing for the once rejected stone, as some of those who had earlier pronounced it dead in 2014, have returned to give life to it.

Their action was largely sequel to the treatment they allegedly received from the APC, which they helped formed. The ruling party came as a result of merger of three major political parties, which were the defunct Action of Nigeria, All Nigeria Peoples Party and Congress for Progressives Change.

The joining of the trio by a faction of the PDP, then known as the New PDP, solidified the APC and made it potent to deal a deadly blow on the then ruling party during the 2015 elections.

The celebrations in the new ruling party however became sour when it was time to enjoy perks of office, after the APC formed the government.

Majority of those who felt that their lots would be better in their new abode allegedly experienced disappointment. Hence, one after the other and like the Biblical prodigal son, they have been returning to the party they once disparaged and called awful names.

Eleven men in the race

Interestingly, majority of those who led the exodus team then and have retraced their steps, are also among the aspirants seeking the presidential ticket of the party. Notably among them are a former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; a former Speaker of the House of Representatives and Governor of Sokoto State, Aminu Tambuwal; a former governor of Kwara State and President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki; and a former Governor of Kano State, Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso.

Those who remained behind in the party and refused to be debased by the mass departure then and are now seeking the presidential ticket are a former Governor of Kaduna State, Senator Ahmed Makarfi: Governor of Gombe State, Ibrahim Dankwambo: a former Governor of Jigawa State, Sule Lamido and an Entrepreneur, Datti Baba-Ahmed and a former Minister of Special Duties, Tanimu Turaki(SAN).

The duo of a former governor of Sokoto State, Attahiru Bafarawa and a former governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau though initially of the non-operational ANPP, have remained with the PDP.

Both of them are also seeking to fly the flag of the party during the February 14, 2019 presidential election.

The Governor of Ekiti State, Mr. Ayo Fayose, who was the first to declare his presidential ambition, is believed to have fallen by the way side from the race. Besides being considered as not very optimistic about realising his dreams, the PDP, of which he is the chairman of its Governors’ Forum, has zoned the ticket to the northern part of the country. Thus, some consider the declaration by Fayose as another razzmatazz.


Dilemma of picking a suitable candidate

No doubt, the calibre of political bigwigs who have returned to the PDP, and the qualities of those considered as ‘landlords’ in the party, may have compounded the problem its national leadership is probably facing in choosing who will face the presidential candidate of the APC, President Muhammadu Buhari, in 2019.

All the aspirants, who have openly announced their ambition, have pronounced themselves the best candidate for the race. Almost all of them also see President Buhari as a candidate they can defeat, if fielded by the party.

“I can match President Buhari’s integrity for integrity and I have what he does not have: I have education, I have knowledge, I have the fear of God, which he doesn’t have. Even if you have a good sales team, you need a good product. And I am that product. I can assure you that I am not made in ‘Taiwan’.

“Since 2015 that we lost the election, many things have changed. It is no longer about the platform alone but also about the candidate. We must be able to come up with a candidate that has strength of character to wrestle Buhari and pin him to the ground (should he emerge the APC presidential candidate),” Turaki boasted.

Atiku, who has also been meeting delegates across the country, believes no one is better suitable for the ticket than himself.

Though he says he is qualified, he is not desperate to be President. “I will never leave the PDP and I will support any presidential candidate that emerges so long the process is transparent,” Dankwambo told our correspondent.
Makarfi, who was the acting national chairman of the party when it ran into turbulence, and joined others in rescuing the party from the hands of its erstwhile National Chairman, Senator Ali Modu-Sheriff, is also anchoring his campaign on his stewardship at the party and his state.

The expected joining of the race by Saraki, Tambuwal and Kwankwaso, will definitely make the race interesting, but tedious for the Prince Uche Secondus-led National Working Committee.

Both Saraki and the governor of Sokoto State, who are considered as big fishes, have tactically indicated their interest in running for the position.

While Saraki said that “I’m consulting and actively considering it (running for the Presidency)… I believe I can make the difference,” Tambuwal said that he had been under pressure from various quarters to contest the presidency. He promised to make his decision known after a few days.

So, how would the party make a probable choice from the arrays of these presidential aspirants? The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party, Senator Walid Jibrin, said that the board would meet with all the aspirants to discuss on whether it would be feasible to have consensus candidate.

He said, “We are seriously considering the possibility of bringing the aspirants together, with a view to seeing if we could get a consensus among them. But we are happy that we have a large number of them aspiring. This is a proof that the PDP is a party to beat in 2019.”

Asked what would happen if the aspirants failed to agree on a consensus, Jibrin said that there would be no other option but for them to go into election.

He, nonetheless, assured those that recently defected into the party, that they would not be treated as outsiders. “But we will also not forget the roles played by our hardworking old members, especially when the PDP was almost dead,” he added.

Secondus also assured the aspirants that the NWC would not favour of the candidates competing for the party’s ticket.

While speaking with our correspondent, Secondus said that “the PDP and the NWC would insist on clean, clear and credible process that would be acceptable to our aspirants. We want the best candidate to emerge. Such candidate will be determined by the electorate during the presidential primaries.” While others see the number of the aspirants as being huge and could pose a threat to the unity of the party after the primary, Secondus thought otherwise.

‘People of high character are trooping into the PDP because they know that their aspirations would be met here. They are also here because they know that there would be no imposition. They also know that votes would count and that the party belongs to the Nigerian people, and not to a cabal,” he said in defence.

The spokesperson for the party, Mr. Kola Ologbondiyan, said inasmuch as the party would not impose any candidate, the aspirants would not be stopped from holding internal meetings among themselves. “We will encourage them to talk to each other and even agree on who they want among themselves,” he said, adding that “but as the NWC, we have no preferred candidate.”

Money as a deciding factor

It is being speculated that money will play a huge role in picking the party’s presidential candidate. For example, the party, in its 40-page “Electoral Guideline for the PDP, said that its presidential aspirants were to pay cumulative total of N12m for both nomination and expression of interest forms, respectively.

Female aspirants are to pay N2m only for expression of interest form as they are exempted from the payment of N10m nomination fee.

The party said that all aspirants were to swear on oath to abide by the decisions of the party on the conduct of the primary elections.
The document said that each aspirant must be nominated by not less than “60 persons from at least two-third of all the states of the federation who shall be registered voters in their respective local government areas and also registered members of the party. A copy of the voter’s registration card of the aspirant shall be attached to the duly completed nomination form.

“To be accompanied by a sworn declaration made before a Commissioner of Oaths or notary public; undertaking to abide by the guidelines, all laws and any rules or regulations made by the party to the conduct of the primary elections. The decision of the National Executive Committee of the party on all primary elections shall be final and binding.”

Can an aspirant be involved in such a huge venture without spending a colossal amount of money? Ologbodiyan said yes.

“Politics is not all about money. Positions aren’t meant to be paid for. What you need to get to positions is goodwill. We are making sure that money doesn’t play any significant role in who flies our ticket,” he said.

He added that the party had put in place many mechanisms to prevent sharing of money or any other incentives during and before the primaries.

“We are ready to demonstrate that our rebranding is not a fluke,” he added. Nigerians are indeed waiting.

Former Jigawa State Governor, Alhaji Sule Lamido, on Friday declared himself a sole presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the 2019 election.
Lamido insisted that among all the presidential aspirants, he remained the only one without a “membership lacuna.”
He told PDP stakeholders in Bayelsa State to address him as “the aspirant” and not as “an aspirant,” boasting that he would emerge the party candidate and eventually win the 2019 election.
Lamido, who was in Bayelsa to solicit support of the state chapter of the party for his ambition, claimed he is the only qualified PDP aspirant to challenge President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019.
The former governor, who inaugurated some projects in the state, taunted other presidential aspirants, saying they were not committed and consistent members of the PDP and lacked the rights to vie for the party’s ticket.
He said: “We want a thoroughbred PDP person. I came to see my brothers and sisters. We share the same concerns and commitments. Before you here is the aspirant not an aspirant. Before you here is the President of Nigeria after our convention.
“Before you here is your brother and commander-in-chief in 2019. Our party needs the cohesion and the discipline. So, we must rescue Nigeria and it must be somebody with the character of the PDP. In me is a very huge and large heart.
“We have to save Nigeria. I didn’t come to campaign. I am your candidate. Whether you like it or not l must be your candidate. When others come, there will be lacuna in their membership. You need a consistent person.”
Governor Seriake Dickson described Lamido as a consistent, dependable, courageous mobiliser for the PDP and supporter of good causes for the country and the party.
in the country as unparalleled, saying the All Progressives Congress (APC) failed to deliver on its mandate to the citizenry.

The Kano State government has lambasted deputy governor of the State, Hafiz Abubakar over his alarm that there was threat to his life.


Abubakar, a loyalist of former Governor Rabiu Kwankwaso, has been at loggerheads with the Governor, Abdullahi Ganduje.

In a petition dated 30th July, 2018 and addressed to Kano State police commissioner and copied to the Assistant Inspector General in charge of Zone I, and state director of the DSS, Abubakar sought deployment of more security personnel around him.


He said state government had released funds to mobilise youths from the 44 local government areas of the state to protest against his stay in office and that he should resign or face impeachment.

Reacting, the state government described Abubakar’s claim as baseless.

Commissioner for Information, Muhammad Garba, told Daily Trust that the government would not waste money on someone who is not popular.


He said: “It is laughable for the deputy governor to even think that he has the political clout that warrants mobilizing youths to stage a protest against him. Government will not waste its money in doing that”.

On Tuesday, Kwankwaso’s camp reacted to the rally allegedly organized by the All Progressives Congress (APC) led state government against Abubakar, Senator Kwankwso and the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

Speaking to DAILY POST, Comrade Aminu Abdulsalam, the lawmaker’s Senior Legislative Aide (SLA), said though Kwankwasiya supporters are non-violent, they would fight back if attacked under the guise of protest.

He, however, called on security agencies to ensure that peace, law and order are maintained in Kano.
