A presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party, Anyim Pius Anyim, on Friday said he does not have any personal issue with former President Olusegun Obasanjo.

The former President of the Senate noted that Obasanjo was an outstanding president Nigeria had, as he was focused on all he wanted to do.

He disclosed that they had a little disagreement with the elder statesman and it was an issue of the National Assembly and the Executive.

According to Anyim, what brought about the disagreement was a motion moved by Senator Idris Abubakar from Gombe and not a motion moved by him.

Anyim while speaking in an interview with Channels TV on Friday said, “I did not have any personal issue with (former) President Obasanjo.

“(Former) President Obasanjo was a very outstanding President Nigeria ever had. President Obasanjo was focused and determined in all that he wanted to do.

“We had a little disagreement, and it was the National Assembly and the Executive; not Pius Ayim and (former) President Obasanjo. What brought about the problem was a motion moved by Senator Idris Abubakar from Gombe, it wasn’t a motion moved by me.

“It was the action taken in the Senate that the former President was reacting to, and it was friction between National Assembly and the Executive.

“Of course, being the head of the legislature, I cannot run away from it; I was leading the legislature and he (Obasanjo) was leading the Executive on the other hand, but there was nothing personal.”

Anyim while speaking on his decision not to return to the Senate after 2003 said it would be seen as hunger for power if after leading the upper chamber, he returned to the red chamber.

He added, “I had been President of the Senate and Chairman of the National Assembly, I had gotten to the peak of that career; there was no reason for coming back because if I come back and I was not elected President of the Senate, I will be at the floor.

“Apart from that, if I have to come back, I should not expect to be elected as the President of the Senate because it should rotate and when I was leaving, I said that I believe in rotation. So, what makes you think that it was because of anybody?

“The election was in my zone; it wasn’t in the National Assembly. So, I wouldn’t have come back after being President of the Senate and Chairman of the National Assembly to sit on the floor for whatever reason, that should be a hunger for power, and I didn’t think I was hungry for power.”

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Ok thanks for the Info. I think he’s the only one right ?

MyVILLAGEpeople:
Exactly. I think the only region that didn’t produce any Nigerian both in the military and democratic era is the north east.

MyVILLAGEpeople:
No mind am. The north central produced the most military Head of States. The north central was the most powerful during the military era.

KILLTHECOWS:
North Central having possession of the federal capital(Abuia) don't even deserve to be president....
The should be fine with fct minister...which is more like the mayor of Abuja.

Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello has thrown his weight behind the option for a northern candidate to take over from President Muhammadu Buhari in 2023.

According to Yahaya on Tuesday, the north-central deserves a shot at the presidency than the south-east.

Naija News reports the Governor made the submission while speaking with State House correspondents in Abuja shortly after a meeting with President Muhammadu Buhari.

Though he agreed that both zones have not had too many chances at leading the Nation, the Kogi State Governor insisted that the north-central is more deserving of the post in 2023 and other regions should await their turn.

Bello said this while countering the position of the Ohanaeze Ndigbo for the 2023 presidency to be zoned to the south-east for fairness and justice.

He said: “Well, if you’re talking of south-east, then you will equally talk of north-central. Not only since 1999 but since 1960. So what do you say about north-central; both the president and vice-president?

“So put the situation of the south-east and that of north-central side by side, then who is more disadvantaged in terms of the position of presidency; both presidents and vice presidents? So if you put both sides together, then let’s do justice. And whichever way you look at it, I’m eminently qualified.”

Meanwhile, former Osun State Deputy Governor, Senator Iyiola Omisore has stated that those against the reelection bid of Governor Gboyega Oyetola are only wasting their time.

He stated this while speaking in Osogbo, the Osun capital, through the Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Yemi Lawal.

The former lawmaker stated that he is focusing on getting Oyetola re-elected during the July 16 governorship election in the state.

While staring that he won’t be distracted with the activities of some disgruntled elements, Omisore said claimed that the governor is accepted among members of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

The former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has revealed why he has not won the presidential election in Nigeria despite showing his intention for the highest political seat.

Okorocha in a recent interview with Punch disclosed that the 2023 general election would be the fourth time he would be contesting.

According to the lawmaker representing Imo West senatorial district, “the first time was in 2001 when I declared to run for the 2003 election under the All Nigeria Peoples Party.”

He further stated that he made attempts to contest for the presidency again in 2006 on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party but lost to the former president, Umaru Musa Yaradua.

Okorocha in the interview said, “This will be the fourth time that I’ll be contesting the presidency of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The first time was in 2001 when I declared to run for the 2003 election under the All Nigeria Peoples Party. I had a very colourful and beautiful outing but at that very election, President Muhammadu Buhari emerged as the candidate of the party. If you recall, there were certain disagreements, some people walked out of the convention because the governors of the North insisted that the presidency must come from the North and that was why President Muhammadu Buhari emerged as the presidential candidate for the ANPP.

“Then in 2006, I declared again to run for the position of president on the platform of the PDP. At that time, I came into the PDP barely two weeks to the primary. I came second to President (Umaru Musa) Yar’adua of blessed memory. Again, the PDP had zoned the presidential ticket to the North because President Olusegun Obasanjo had finished his tenure for eight years. I didn’t contest again; I went back to Imo State to become the governor on the platform of the All Progressives Grand Alliance because I didn’t get a ticket in the PDP and the ANPP. All the political parties won’t give a ticket. So, I picked a political party that had no single structure, no counsellor and I used that to defeat the incumbent governor who just had his first term. He was also in the PDP when President (Goodluck) Jonathan was in power.

“I led the APGA to the merger in APC while President Muhammadu Buhari led the Congress for Progressive Change; Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu led the Action Congress of Nigeria. In 2015, the Igbo refused to accept Buhari and for them, the name Buhari was taboo in the South-East. So, I had to do whatever I could do to make Igbo believe in the political party, and the only thing I could do was to contest for president on the platform of the All Progressives Congress with Muhammadu Buhari, Atiku, among others. That helped a whole lot to rebrand the image of the APC in the South-East. At this time also, Jonathan had finished his six years and it was agreed that power should go back to the North.”

He added that zoning has been a major problem in achieving his presidential ambition.

The Bureau of Public Service Reforms (BPSR) says plans are underway to train 500,000 public servants on digitisation and Information Technology (IT) to improve service delivery.

Mr Dasuki Arabi, the Director-General of the bureau disclosed this when he featured at the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) forum in Abuja on Sunday.

Arabi said that the bureau was working with the U.S. government and other key private sector agencies to ensure the training of public servants on digitisation and use of IT among others.

He said that the Federal Government had approved an e-government master plan agenda for digitisation of the processes and provision of the hardwares connectivity that civil servants needed to work with.

” If that is done, the process and the speed of delivering service are going to be faster, cheaper and easier.

“Government has issued a circular directing digitisation of all processes.

“We are working with the private sector to build the capacity of the public servants to understand the language.

“For instance, accountants used to raise vouchers and cheques to pay contractors and salaries, now they are doing that electronically.

“The vouchers and the papers that we used to have in files have now been transferred into data system.

“So they need to understand the digitised language, eat the language and speak the language to enable them properly sit and manage the transformation to a digital economy.’’

He said that the aspiration of the reforms was for the Nigerian public service to be among the first 20 in the world by the year 2025.

He said that by the year 2030, the Nigerian public service should be paperless and fully digitised. (NAN)

An uncertain number of human bodies have been consumed after an inferno gutted the mortuary at the Agagbe Community in Gwer-West Local Government Area of Benue State.

Naija News learnt that the fire started in the late hours of Friday, burning to ashes the bodies deposited at the morgue.

Mortuary Fire
A resident of the community, Mr Ikyur, who gave a brief description of the incident to newsmen on Saturday, said the cause of the fire incident has not been unravelled, saying “it was a shock to everyone”.

Barely a month ago, about four hundred corpses were reportedly consumed by a bush fire at the mortuary section of the General Hospital, Onitsha, Anambra State.

The sad development left many families in tears after beholding the remains of their loved ones being burnt to ashes.

Naija News learnt that the fire emanated from a burning bush behind the morgue and escalated into the hospital facility before it received attention.

Mortuary attendants are said to have responded to the fire by pouring water mixed with detergent to douse the flame but could not curtail the damage.

The PUNCH Metro had reported that the hospital management later called the state fire service after the fire had escalated.

Some, who had come to carry their corpses for burial, burst into tears when they saw that the mortuary was in ruins, the reports added.

“We came to take the corpse of a community member for burial only for us to see that the corpses in the morgue had been burnt beyond recognition. We are confused; we don’t know what to do,” the report quoted one of the mourners, Charles Ozor, as saying.

A United Kingdom-based Gospel singer, songwriter, author and nurse, Isabella Ogo-Uzodike, aka Isabella Melodies, has said her songs are inspired by her love for Jesus Christ.

Speaking on her latest single titled, Omeriwo, the singer said, “My passionate love for Jesus Christ, and my encounters with Him, as well as my life experiences are the things that inspire me.

“My song, Omeriwo, which means ‘He has prevailed’, is a song of victory and is the first single to be released off my tenth album which is titled, Melodies from the Secret Place. It is a strong declaration of the victory we have in Jesus Christ, and was birthed following a season of deep consecration, along with other worship songs.”

Revealing the story behind her stage name, Isabella, who is married with four children, said, “My birth name is Isabella which means, ‘consecrated to God’. My heart is constantly filled with an unending flow of melodies, so that is how that name came about. It literarily means ‘melodies consecrated to God’.

Though she started recording songs officially in 2009, she stated that she had been leading worship sessions since 1999.

Asked about her non-governmental organisations which are involved in women empowerment, Isabella answered, “By God’s grace, I serve as a leader of two NGOs. One of them is called Ministry of Wifehood, and it is focused on mentoring wives on the things expected of them in their marriages based on what is written in the Holy Bible. It is also for elderly women, as we advise them to be reverent in behavior; not slanderers, or given to much wine, as encouraged in the Bible. We also admonish young women to love their husbands and children. We urge them to be discreet, chaste, homemakers and obedient to their husbands.

“The other NGO is called Women of African Origin in Music Ministry, and it is geared towards encouraging, equipping and empowering female music ministers in fulfilling their call in life“

The Minister of Interior, Rauf Aregbesola, has urged the people of Ondo State to plant a tree against deforestation and curb the effects of climate change on the environment to save humanity.

The Media Adviser to the minister, Sola Fasure, made this known in a statement on Saturday in Abuja.

According to him, Mr Aregbesola gave the advice during the tree planting campaign at Akoko Anglican Grammar School (AKOGRAMS), Arigidi, Ondo State, as part of activities to mark the diamond jubilee of the school.

The minister highlighted the benefits of tree planting by conservation and restoration of forests to mitigate the challenges of climate change.

This, he noted, was in line with the present administration’s Green Recovery Nigeria Programme 2020.

Mr Aregbesola advised against felling of trees, urging the management and pupils of the school and the host community to consider the forest around the school an endowment and strive to maintain it for humanity.

The minister acknowledged the great and successful products of the school in different fields of human endeavour, attributing it to the sound educational foundation they benefited from while in school.

“Education is the only legacy that we can leave for our children. We all owe our foundational institution the responsibility of care, support and identification because of the role they played in our success.

“Nothing can be too big or small to support our Alma Mater, no matter who we are or what we have become,” he said.

Governor Rotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State enumerated his administration’s achievements in developing infrastructure across the state especially, in primary education.

He commended the minister and the Old Students Association of AKOGRAMS for their contributions to the school and called for such support to primary schools, being the building block upon which other levels of education rests. (NAN)
