The new Resident Electoral Commissioner in Cross River , Dr Briyai Frankland , says the commission will deal decisively with any member of Staff who connive with politicians to manipulate election results in the state .

Frankland said this on Wednesday at his maiden interactive session with newsmen in Calabar .
He said that after interacting with various stakeholders , he observed that there were negative perceptions about the conduct of some members of staff of the commission during elections .

“I have observed that there is this wrong public perception about electoral officials conniving with some politicians to manipulate results of elections in the state .

“I have warned all members of staff , especially at the Local Government levels to change their attitude to work as the state INEC under my watch will do everything to uphold the sanctity of elections in this state .

“I will not tolerate any laxity on the part of my staff and anyone found culpable will be punished accordingly, ‘’ he said .

Frankland advised all registered political parties in the state to work hard to win elections rather than waiting to manipulate the process .

“I am not here for anybody . My advice to political parties is that they should work hard , and I promise that anyone who works hard will always win elections .
“Any political party that has done its homework well and deserved to win will win election .

“INEC in Cross River is not going to be partisan . Any INEC staff who misbehaves will be summarily disciplined . Therefore , the electorate should not be afraid, I am here for service to our fatherland, ” he said .
He said to ensure that all eligible voters in the state were not disenfranchised , INEC had begun the second phase of voter registration at designated centres across the 18 Local Government Areas.

He said that so far over one million voters have been registered in the state and advised members of the public not to panic as the exercise was a continuous one .

Frankland enjoined the media to report the activities of the commission with objectivity and advised them to always reach out to his office for clarifications whenever they are in doubt .

Chukwudi Akasike

A coalition of Niger Delta militant groups on Saturday expressed readiness to fight for a Niger Delta Republic if the Federal Government failed to embrace devolution of power and fiscal federalism.

The militants, who spoke under the aegis of the Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators , stated that they were prepared to mobilise other agitating groups in the oil rich region to actualise a Niger Delta Republic .
A statement signed by nine militant leaders cautioned that the people of the Niger Delta were prepared to secede if the total devolution of power and fiscal federalism were not put in place .

The statement was signed by John Dudu ( Niger Delta Watchdogs and convener of the coalition ); Ekpo Ekpo ( Niger Delta Volunteers ) Osarolor Nedam ( Niger Delta Warriors ); Henry Okon Etete ( Niger Delta Peoples Fighters ) and Asukwo Henshaw ( Bakassi Freedom Fighters ) .

Others included Ibinabo Horsfall of the Niger Delta Movement for Justice , Duke Emmanson ( Niger Delta Fighters Network ) , Inibeghe Adams ( Niger Delta Freedom Mandate ) and Abiye Tariah ( Niger Delta Development Network ) .

The statement read , “The least considerable action on the part of the Federal Government is the total devolution of power and fiscal federalism. Anything short of that, the people of the Niger Delta will go their separate ways . The coalition will work to convince other agitators in the Niger Delta for a collaborative action to ensure the least acceptable demand , which is total devolution of power and fiscal federalism.

“The people of the Niger Delta will fully support the call for a referendum by other agitators in the country . Finally, the Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators firmly resolves to pursue its decision( s) and actualise them by any means necessary .”

Faulting the leadership of the Pan Niger Delta Forum for what they termed poor handling of the agreement between it ( PANDEF ) and the Federal Government , the militants declared that they had withdrawn their support for the forum .

They maintained that the authority to represent the Niger Delta ethnic nationalities was no longer under the purview of the current leadership of PANDEF .
The coalition said , “The Coalition of Niger Delta Agitators will rally round all other agitating groups in the Niger Delta for the actualisation of the Niger Delta Republic . This will give us the freedom to develop ourselves and at our own pace .”

It also described the last meeting of the forum in Bayelsa as dismal , adding that serious issues were not presented for deliberation .

Describing the PANDEF leadership as clueless, the coalition observed that the forum appeared not to be cohesive and united in thoughts and actions.

“While a meeting is called by Pa E . K. Clark in Bayelsa , the secretary of the central working committee is calling for a constitution review meeting in Abuja the following day . We have no doubt in our mind that there are contending interests and positions that have become overriding in the leadership of PANDEF and we can no longer sit by and allow them to fester ,” the coalition said .
It added that PANDEF leadership appeared to have lost track of the political development and the trend of agitations in the country , especially from the South -East and South -West .

Saraki’s Facebook Critic, Baba: I Would Have Been Jailed If Not For 30 Lawyers Who Fought My Case For Free





A 37 -year -old primary school teacher in Kwara State , Biodun Baba , who was arraigned before a magistrates ’ court in Ilorin for allegedly insulting Senate President Bukola Saraki on Facebook , recounts his ordeal in this interview with SUCCESS NWOGU

Tell us about yourself .

I was born in 1980. I attended LGEA Primary School, Elemere , Malete in the Moro Local Government Area of Kwara State . I went to Awanga High School in Shao town between 1994 and 2000 . I later went to the Kwara State College of Education , Ilorin from 2002 to 2004 , where I obtained the Nigerian Certificate in Education ( Political Science) . I thereafter proceeded to University of Ilorin to do a sandwich programme in Guidance and Counselling between 2008 and 2013. My father ’s name is Abdullahi Baba , while my mother is Sarat .

Why were you charged to court ?

I commented on a post on the Facebook page of the factional Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in the state , Akogun Iyiola Oyedepo .

What did you write ?

Oyedepo had posted on his Facebook page the day that the Senate President was discharged and acquitted by the Code of Conduct Tribunal , and I wrote in the comment section that if , “somebody believes that he is above everybody , he is not above the judgment of God . If Saraki has been discharged by the CCT , has he been discharged by God ?” Abdulazeez Azeez , a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress , was particularly angry when he read my comment . He went to the elders of the party in my ward to report me , saying I abused the Senate President . I told them that I did not abuse him and that I just commented on someone else ’s post. I told them that I merely exercised my freedom of expression . They called a meeting of the executives of the ward to discuss the matter . At the end of the meeting , they announced my suspension from the All Progressives Congress for three months .
When were you suspended?

That was about a week after my Facebook post. I have not been recalled up till now . After that, there was another post on Facebook which I shared . The message was : ‘Presidency , Osinbajo replies Saraki on Magu issue .’ I was not the one that wrote it but I shared it. They saw it on my wall , so they expressed anger again and accused me of posting another message . They summoned me to another meeting at my ward. From there , they said they would expel me totally from the party . They went to the APC local government secretariat and summoned me to the place , I went there to explain myself. I told them I wrote the first one but that I just shared the second one. They did not agree with me because it appeared that the ward chairman had poisoned their minds . After that, we went to the state secretariat of the party to meet all the stakeholders there . They included the state Chairman of APC , Mr . Jimoh Adesina ; Mr . Isiaka Oniwa ; Mr . Ishola Bolagun-Fulani ; and the woman leader , Ramat Oganija , among others .

What happened there ?

The ward chairman brought a lot of people to testify against me . I was the only one on the other side . They said a lot of things about me . They searched for my name and accused me of abusing Bukola Saraki when he was turbaned as the Baba Adinni . They alleged that I wrote many things which I did not write . Again , the state party executives did not believe me . One of them , Oniwa, stood up from where they were seated and asked me where I was working . I said I worked at the LGEA Primary School in the Moro Local Government Area of the state . He then shouted , ‘Ahh! I am the one that built that school . I will expel you from that job . I will fire you from that job . ’ He sat down. It was at that point that Adesina stood up and vowed to use his personal money for my prosecution because I ( allegedly) abused the party leader in the state . He is the one that took me to court .

After that, one of those on the high table said , “This case will not stop here . Let us call security officers to arrest this boy .” He was referring to me . They called the Department of State Services to arrest me on that day . Two officials of the DSS came and dragged me to their office in Ilorin. They gave me a form to write an undertaking that I will never abuse the senate president again . That was what I wrote . Three days after, I got a call from my headmaster that the Secretary of the Local Government Area Education Primary School had said he should fire me . I immediately went to the secretary to confirm whether it was true or not. When I got there , he confirmed that the secretary was asked to fire me . My parents and family members were worried that they would fire me from my job . They took me to Oniwa to beg him . Initially , I refused to follow them , but they prevailed on me. At the end of the day , he agreed to look into the case .

But they have expelled you from APC ?

Yes , completely .

Do you regret your action ?

Regret? No . I do not regret my action .

Were you involved in political activism or union activities during your school days ?

I was not involved in any .

How did you get involved in social media activism?
I cherish the way a lot of people use social media . It enlightens and exposes me to many things . We can use social media for social re -engineering and to positively affect governance . It is part of people ’s contributions to national development, especially when it is used to check the excesses of our leaders .

How did your family members handle your ordeal ?

They were really apprehensive because they were afraid that that nobody in Kwara State could defeat Saraki in the court of law . Apart from this , they also believed that nobody could abuse Saraki and go scot -free . My family members were really angry with me . However , some people advised them not to be afraid and assured them that some lawyers would support me .

Were there other sad experiences you went through apart from the litigation ?

Some people lied against me , saying I wrote a letter of apology, in an attempt to swing the case in their direction . A letter was hurriedly written a night before the day I was to appear in court alleging that I had apologised . The letter went viral and people shared it on social media . Unfortunately , when I appeared in court the next day , they did not come with that letter , I was expecting them to say in the court that I had apologised but that did not happen. Even the online medium that published the fake apology letter refused to present the actual letter that I allegedly wrote and signed .

At no time did I write any apology letter . I posted the message on my Facebook page based on my conviction . I expect my children to follow my example as I believe that I did the right thing. I was guided by the provisions of the law and I did not go outside the law to do anything . We should put government on their toes .

Now that you have been expelled from the APC , what is your next political move ?

I still remain a member of the APC , despite my expulsion, but I cannot participate in the party ’s activities . The expulsion cannot stand because it did not go through the normal process . It is a form of persecution from people who do not like my face because I am the Assistant Secretary of the party at Gambari Ward 1 . My expulsion was orchestrated by an APC chieftain in the state , Adesina .

What do you make of the show of solidarity you enjoyed while your trial lasted ?

It showed that we have reached another level in our political evolution in Kwara State . This matter has shown that not again in Kwara will people suppress others who criticise them . Why should people be averse to criticism ? I advise Kwarans to speak more . We have been seen as docile people . Let us speak the truth and stand by the truth . Justice will always prevail .

How do you feel now that the case has been withdrawn ?

I am very happy . From the beginning of this case , I was told that it was mere political persecution . I always believe in speaking the truth and I will always say the truth . But these people do not like people who say the truth . I am happy that justice has prevailed at last .
Was there pressure on you during the case ?
Yes ! There was pressure from my people at the ward, local government , even up to the state level; people really pressurised me over the case .

Can you mention some people that mounted pressure on you ?

People like the Gambari 1 ward chairman , Mr . Zubairu Zubairo, and other chieftains of the party like Azeez and Ayodeji Saheed .

Do you think the Senate President has a hand in your ordeal ?

I can ’t say but I know it is the work of political sycophants .

What do you expect the Senate President to do ?

The Senate President was careful in his statement denying any involvement or any link with my ordeal . He has only denied involvement ; he has not done anything more than that . As the leader of the party in the state , I had expected him to chastise those who took me to court. He should have cautioned them and made some pronouncement that would show that he did not tolerate what they did . The sycophants have taken sycophancy in Kwara to the next level. This was a matter that should have only been addressed at the party level but when a member takes another member of the same party to court, will you say that party is united?

The Senate President will do members of the party in the state greater good by going a step further to caution those people who persecuted and prosecuted me in order to serve as a deterrent to others who would want to do the same thing in future .

How many lawyers handled your case ?

We had about 30 lawyers who represented me on the first day that I appeared in court. The lead lawyer is Mr . Sambo Muritala .

How much did you pay them ?

The legal team appeared pro bono . We did not pay them anything . We got in touch with one of them and he mobilised the rest . Even those who were not in court rushed from wherever they were to appear in court. Some of them were not dressed in their regalia ; they were in the court to support their colleagues who handled my case . From this , it is clear that there are lawyers that still fight for the downtrodden and the oppressed to ensure that they get justice . Today in Nigeria , we can still rely on the judiciary as the last hope of the common man . There was no way I could have afforded their money if they had charged me . If they did not come to help me, I would have either been remanded in the Oke -Kura Prison or Mandala Prison . The lawyers were convinced that I had not done anything wrong but that I only expressed myself. It was just that somebody somewhere just wanted to please his godfather .

What have you learnt from your experience ?

There is freedom of expression . Everybody has the right to express his or her feelings. Young people should speak out objectively and put our leaders on their toes to ensure delivery of dividends of democracy . We need to do that in order to liberate ourselves from this bondage we are in in this state . We must contribute our quota to national growth and development .

American veteran Justin Gatlin was booed after he stunned Usain Bolt to win the 100 m world title in London on Saturday.

Gatlin , who served a doping ban between 2006- 10 and won silvers behind Bolt at the last two world championships, clocked 9 .92 seconds , with teammate Christian Coleman winning silver in 9. 94 sec .
Bolt suffered a dreadful start and could only claim bronze in 9. 95 sec .

“I ’m sorry I couldn ’ t end it on a winning note , but I want to thank you for your support, ” said Bolt, who embraced Gatlin after they streaked through the line with no clear victor immediately apparent .

“It’ s been a wonderful experience as always. ”

Gatlin was afforded the same rough reception as he had in the heats and semi -finals, loud boos and jeering ringing around the same stadium where in 2012 his rivalry with Bolt was presented as ‘ good against evil ’, given the American ’s doping- tainted past.

But Gatlin has form as the last man to beat Bolt over 100 m — by a hundredth of a second in Rome in 2013 — and at the age of 35 , can still produce the goods , something he has in the past ironically credited with his four years of forced exile from the track.

The Wife of the General Overseer of The Redeemed Christian Church of God Worldwide, Pastor Folu Adeboye , was among guests honoured at the Firstgate Africa Leadership Award and the 10 th Anniversary/ Convocation Ceremony of the Firstgate Optimus High School, Mowe in Ogun State on Friday .

The Hall of Fame Award, which was given to her , was received by a representative from the church .
Other award recipients included Mrs . Olabisi Akinola -Okereafor , Innovative Leadership Award ; Pastor Femi Oyewole , Exemplary Leadership Award ; Mr .Benjamin Obahor , Nurturer of Talents Award, among others .

In his keynote address titled Nation Builders : The Beacon of Light , the Chief Guest Speaker , Prof . Chryss Onwuka , said the government must address challenges posed by epileptic power supply , inadequate teachers and insecurity if entrepreneurship education must succeed in the country .

He said , “ The demand for learning is quite high and the number of teachers who are trained to teach ICT cannot meet the demand . There are more pupils willing to acquire entrepreneurial skills than there are teachers to transfer the skills.

“Many schools have yet to be connected to the national electricity grid . Consequently , those schools are handicapped. Some of the equipment are industrial and require big generators as against small generators available in most schools .’’

Onwuka , who is of the Department of Animal Nutrition, Federal University of Agriculture , Abeokuta , Ogun State , also advised the graduating pupils to embrace good morals and academic excellence in their next phase of life .

“You will soon find out that the world is full of temptations , crime and evil deeds . Resolve within you today that you will not join the bandwagon . Do not spend your time gossiping . If you fail to be the light of the world , you would have wasted your time here and how sad that would be , ’’ he said .
