ABUJA – A High Court of the Federal Capital Territory sitting at Bwari, on Wednesday, fixed July 3 to deliver judgment on a suit challenging the eligibility of former Minister of Mines and Solid Minerals, Dr. Kayode Fayemi, to participate in the July 14 governorship election in Ekiti State.
.
Justice Othman Musa reserved his judgment after parties in the matter argued and adopted their final briefs of argument.
.
The court had earlier ordered the service of hearing notices on both Fayemi and the All Progressives Congress, APC, who were listed as 1st and 2nd defendants, to enable them to respond to legal issues that were raised in the suit which was filed by African People’s Party, APP.
.
The government of Ekiti State was equally cited as the 3rd Defendant in the matter.
.
Specifically, APP, through its lawyer, Mr. Johnmary Jideobi, is praying the court to determine
“Whether or not upon a calm reading of Section 182 (1) (i) of the 1999 Constitution as Amended and having regard to the indictment of the 1st Defendant by the Ekiti State Judicial Commission of Inquiry, the 1st Defendant is not Constitutionally disqualified to hold public office especially office of the Governor of Ekiti State of Nigeria?
.
“Whether or not upon a sober reading of Section 182(1) (i) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, a political party [such as the 2nd Defendant herein] can validly sponsor a candidate [such as the 1st Defendant herein] constitutionally disqualified from vying for the office of a Governor of a State?”
.
Against the background of the answer(s) that may be given to the questions of law, the plaintiff, claims the following reliefs from the court, against the
Defendants:
“A declaration that upon a calm reading of Section 182 (1) (i) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as Amended and having regard to the indictment of the 1st Defendant by the Ekiti State Judicial Commission of Inquiry, the 1st Defendant is Constitutionally disqualified to hold public office especially office of the Governor of Ekiti State of Nigeria.
.
“A solemn declaration that upon a sober reading of Section 182(1) (i) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended, a political party [such as the 2nd Defendant herein] cannot validly sponsor a candidate [such as the 1st Defendant herein] constitutionally disqualified from vying for the office of a Governor of a State.
.
As well as, “An order of this Honourable Court restraining the 2nd Defendant from either considering, screening, accepting and or sponsoring the 1st Defendant or holding him out as its governorship candidate in the forthcoming governorship election scheduled to be held in Ekiti State of Nigeria on the 14th day of July, 2018”.
.
While adopting their briefs o argument, APC and Fayemi, through their lawyer, Chief Rufus Balogun, challenged the competence of the suit, even as they urged the court to dismiss it for want of merit.
.
In a 28-paragraphed counter-affidavit that was deposed to by one Oluwaseun Odewale, APC told the court that it was “flabbergasted” by Report of the Ekiti State Commission of Inquiry that indicted Fayemi.
.
According to APC, “The most worrisome aspect of the Report is the purported barring of Dr. Kayode Fayemi from holding public office for 10 years when the Ekiti State is not a court of law”.
.
On his part, Fayemi maintained that he was not accorded fair-hearing by the Justice Silas Bamidele Oyewole-led eight-man panel of Inquiry that indicted him over alleged embezzlement and contract fraud.
.
“I know as a fact that the incumbent Governor of Ekiti State, Dr. Peter Ayodele Fayose, acting pursuant to the resolution of the Ekiti State House of Assembly, constituted Commission of Inquiry to look into finances of Ekiti State between 2010 to 2014.
.
“I know as a fact that Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the 1st defendant, challenged the legality and the constitutionality of the Commission of Inquiry on diverse grounds and he specifically raised the issue of the composition of the Commission further Inquiry which was deliberately constituted in such a way that Justice and fairness cannot be guaranteed to all the parties.
.
“I know as a fact that some of the members of the Commission are civil servants and the Chairman of the Commission a retired Acting Chief Judge has an axe to grind with the 1st defendant and was waiting for an opportunity to have his pound of flesh”.
.
Fayemi told the court that he had upon realising that he would not get fair-hearing, instituted an action to query the legality of the Commission of Inquiry.
.
“I know as a fact that it was the Tender Board of Ekiti State that awarded contract and specifically the building contracts were handled by the Bureau of Infrastructure and Public Utilities which had been managed by the Ministry of Works and Transport.
.
“I know as a fact that there was no evidence that the contract sum for the Utra-Modern Market was ever disbursed to any company or diverted by anybody.
.
“I know as a fact that the Commission of Inquiry merely invited Dr. Kayode Fayemi as a Witness to appear before them to give evidence on specific issues related to 852m UBE/SUBEB Loan claimed to be embezzled by Dr. Kayode Fayemi and now found to be withdrawn by the Bank itself When Governor Fayose threatened not to pay the Loan”, the deponent added.

The State Chairmen of NURTW and RTEAN, Comrade Clement Adekola and Mr. Rotimi Agbede, said on Tuesday, while speaking with journalists that they were curious that four of their members were summoned to a meeting by the Director of DSS in Ado Ekiti on Monday.
.
Apart from Adekola and Agbede, who were invited, the DSS was said to have sent invitation to other members: Diya Ajayi, Lawrence Ologunja, Ayo Ajetomobi and one Ojo.
.
They alleged that the purpose of the meeting was for the DSS to convey what was described as “message from above” on the need for them to back out from supporting the Peoples Democratic Party’s governorship candidate, Prof. Kolapo Olusola, and switch support to the APC candidate.
.
The drivers unions however said they would not be forced to support a candidate against their wish, saying “Governor Ayodele Fayose has done so much for the state and our unions; we must pay him back by supporting his party’s candidate.”
.
The unions added, “Most importantly, the APC candidate was responsible for crisis in the drivers unions, when he was governor. It was during his tenure that one of our foremost leaders, Chief Omolafe Aderiye, was murdered in cold blood and we do not want a return of bloody clashes among our members, which was common when Fayemi was governor.”
.
Calling on security agencies to maintain neutrality before, during and after the July 14 election, the drivers unions said, “Ekiti people must be allowed to choose their governor in a free, fair and credible election.
.
“Anything other than that will be inviting chaos into the state and students of politics in Nigeria can still remember what happened in 1983 when those controlling power at the center tried to force a governor on Ondo State. We are sure no one wants a repeat of such.”
.
The groups called on all well-meaning Nigerians to prevail on security agencies to avoid being used to subvert the will of Ekiti people and put democracy at risk, “bearing in mind that the Ekiti State election will serve as a prelude to what to expect in 2019.”

2014 between Lionel Messi and Lionel Musa


Goals

GOAL! Lionel Messi (Argentina) 3rd min. Who else? Messi notches his third goal in three matches after Di Maria releases a shot which hits the post, comes off the back of Enyeama, and then into the path of the one player Nigeria would have rather it didn’t. Messi hits it into the roof of the net, and gain an early lead against Stephen Keshi’s side.

GOAL! Ahmed Musa (Nigeria) 4th min. Literally less than a minute later (30 seconds?), Musa countered after another near chance for Argentina, running in a straight line along the left flank and with only one striker in the box alongside him. Rather than cross however, Musa lashed in a stunner. An absolute stunner, laser into the far corner of the net. 1-1. This. World. Cup.


GOAL! Lionel Messi (Argentina) 45 + 1 min. After having a free kick saved by Vincent Enyeama in full stretch, a more centrally taken FK at a further distance gave Messi another opportunity to score at the end of the first half. He took it, and this time Enyeama didn’t even bother to leap. A gorgeous free kick, and Messi’s fourth goal in three games. The 1986 narrative looms large.

GOAL! Ahmed Musa (Nigeria) 47th min. A stunning lapse in the Argentine defense sees a an enormous gap open up to allow Emenike to play to Musa and release him free on goal. Musa’s patience pays off and he sends a shot to the left of Romero, and Nigeria were level! For a whole three minutes!

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Ekiti State has warned the people against casting their lot with the All Progressives Congress, APC and Dr. Kayode Fayemi saying that no APC governor can protect the people against Fulani herdsmen as is done by the PDP.
.
State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Mr. Jackson Adebayo, who made this know while reacting to insinuations that Fayemi was supportive of the creation of cattle colonies made the party’s position known in a press statement issued in Ado Ekiti.
.
Adebayo speaking against the background of the latest killings by marauding herdsmen on the plateau, he said:“it is strange that Fayemi has never seen anything wrong in the killing of Nigerians by herdsmen. Instead, he has consistently given tacit support to the killings by insisting on creation of cattle colonies.
.
“It is instructive to note that when herdsmen killed Ekiti people in Oke Ako, Orin, Okemesi, Aiyede, Ipao and other places, Fayemi did not utter a word to condemn the killings. No single press statement was issued by the APC to condemn the killings by herdsmen and called for arrest of the perpetrators.
.
“Instead of condemning these killings and destruction of people’s farmlands by herdsmen, Fayemi and his APC have been canvassing support for cattle colonies just to remain in the good book of the Fulani power brokers as being done by the Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu and other APC governors.
.
“Ekiti people will remember that when Fulani herdsmen invaded the farm of Chief Olu Falae and set it ablaze, Governor Akeredolu did not say a word.
.
“It has therefore become necessary that we alert our people to the danger of returning Fayemi to power because no APC governor will protect its people against marauding herdsmen as done by the PDP government of Governor Ayodele Fayose.”

The Ekiti State Governor, Ayodele Fayose, has accused the Federal Government of deliberately withholding the release of the Paris Club refund to states purposely to prevent Ekiti from using the money to pay arrears of workers’ salary before the July 14 governorship election.
The governor also warned the Independent National Electoral Commission against stopping the collation of elections results midway, as it was done during the governorship election in Edo State.

Fayose, who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi in Ado Ekiti on Thursday, accused the Federal Government of deliberately withholding the money after Ekiti and other states had been cleared to get the refund.


The governor said, “If it is released to other states without the inclusion of Ekiti, people will suspect the federal government of playing politics with it. The federal government used that tactics in Kogi to assist the APC candidate to win.

“I am using this forum to inform Ekiti people that the federal government is punishing and depriving them of their entitlement because of politics. They think that if I am not able to pay the four months salaries owed the workers, they will vote for APC.
“Ekiti people are not fools, they know that the Fayemi administration plunged the state into debt. Fayemi left two months salary unpaid and N1.2bn is being deducted every month from Ekiti allocations to service the debt.

“So far, N35.34bn has been deducted from allocations coming to Ekiti to service debts owed by Fayemi administration.
“If I have N35.34bn, I will not owe workers and I will be able to take care of the needs of the people. Ekiti people are not fools and will not again accept APC. They know that the Fayemi administration is the cause of the unpaid salary.”

On Friday, the misfire from the policemen hit ex-lawmaker Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB), and five others.

Anxiety in APC : Buhari, nPDP leaders negotiate over 10 states’ votes



This report attempts to explain to the generality of Nigerians, the leadership of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and President Muhammadu Buhari why the APC should tame the monster of opposition within its ranks if only to avoid the folly of the Goodluck Jonathan administration in allowing a section of its party leadership to exit. Whereas Vice President Yemi Osinbajo is handling the talks with leaders of the New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, bloc within the APC, the need for strategic engagement dictates that Buhari should not make the mistakes of Goodluck Jonathan by being aloof.

The Kawu Baraje led New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, tendency in the All Progressives Congress, APC, resumes its talks with the Presidency tomorrow with little optimism on a breakthrough.

Like Jonathan, Like Buhari?

Worse still, there are concerns that President Muhammadu Buhari is not the one taking charge of the discussions, something similar to the events leading to the crack in the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, during the tenure of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. In fact, the inability or refusal of Jonathan to move swiftly against the opposition within has been serially mentioned as one of the many reasons he lost the 2015 presidential election. At the PDP National Convention of late 2014, some leaders of the party, made up of serving national officers and serving state governors and leaders of the National Assembly, walked out of the Eagle Square Convention Ground, even while Jonathan was seated. From the Eagle Square, the leaders moved to the Musa Yar’Adua Centre, where they announced their formal exit from the PDP. And while moves were made to mend the cracks, the seeming aloofness of then President hastened the exodus of leaders from the party. Now, in 2018, the same drama appears to be playing out all over again, with Buhari, appearing disinterested.


A Hung Negotiation?

The decision to forge ahead with the talks despite the scepticism on the part of many of the stakeholders, Sunday Vanguard learnt, is coming from the determination of Senate President Bukola Saraki to press for the option of dialogue despite the seeming move by extremists on both sides to sabotage the talks. One of those sabotage acts was the publication of a report that presented the nPDP as having demanded a stop of the ongoing trial of Saraki on the allegation of false assets declaration as one of the conditions of the aggrieved party members.

That claim was viciously denied by the Senate President and also by Senator Lawali Shuaibu, the Deputy National Chairman of the APC, who is representing the National Chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, in the talks. Inside sources within the ranks of the nPDP said morale for the talks was especially low as many of the members of the bloc believe that nothing concrete would come out of the discussion especially as Buhari, who is the party leader, is not directly involved.

The President has delegated Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to represent the Presidency. The nPDP bloc had, on May 9, delivered a letter to the National Chairman of the party, Odigie-Oyegun, in which it alleged, among others, the marginalisation of their tendency in the APC, noting, among other things, that, besides being denied appointments, the two prime positions of Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives they won for themselves became a cross. They also alleged that the marginalisation of the group was despite the decisive role the bloc played in ensuring victory for the party and its presidential candidate in the 2015 elections.

The Presidency, after some dithering procrastination, heeded and conveyed a meeting where Osinbajo led the Presidency team that also included the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Mr. Abubakar Malami; Shuaibu; National Security Adviser, NSA, Babagana Monguno; and the Deputy Chief of Staff, Ade Ipaye. The nPDP delegation had, among others, Saraki, Speaker Yakubu Dogara, Governors Aminu Tambuwal and Abdulfatah Ahmed, Senators Rabiu Kwankwanso and Danjuma Goje.

Following the initial meeting, it was resolved that the two teams would meet again one week after, that is, tomorrow during which substantive issues would be further brought to the table. Among the conditions for peace, it was gathered, was for the President to fully address the issues raised in the nPDP letter. The group, it was also learnt, is also determined to fashion out a sharing policy with Buhari on positions that the group should occupy should the party win the forthcoming presidential election.


The Calculations Whereas the President is famously said to have (and indeed he did) defeated Jonathan with about two million votes in the 2015 election, it would be in the political interest of the incumbent to have a more than passing interest in the on-going-negotiations. Pointers to this can be located in the quality and calibre of those in talks with the Vice President. For instance, 10 states were represented at the meeting.

The states are Adamawa, Bauchi, Benue, Gombe, Kaduna, Kano, Kebbi, Kogi, Kwara and Sokoto. From those states, some of the leaders at the talks were Murtala Nayako and Senator Nyako; Speaker Yakubu Dogara and a sizeable number of members of the House of Representatives; Barnabas Gemade, former National Chairman of the PDP and Minister of Housing; Senator Danjuma Goje, former Gombe State governor; Senator Suleiman Hunkuyi; Kwakwanso, a two-time governor of Kano State; a former Kebbi State governor, Adamu Aliero; Senator Dino Melaye; Saraki, who had also served as governor of Kwara State, along with the incumbent, Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, as well as legislators from the state; and Governor Aminu Tambuwal of Sokoto State and some political leaders from the state. In fact, the political leaders made it known to Osinbajo that many more political leaders would have attended the parley but opted not to show their faces because of the fear of intimidation for which the Buhari administration was already known.

One of the leaders said “many leaders would have been here but they are afraid that sudden arrest could be their portion”. Those raising concerns now see in these individuals the potentials of mobilising more than the two-million-vote deficit.

Each of the individuals leading the teams from the states can, with the plethora of sub-leaders, mobilise more than 200,000 votes, without prejudice to those who would be joining the voting eligibility net on the grounds of age and collection of PVC. Worse, still their agitation for more inclusiveness in the scheme of things is coming at a time of manifest, clear and present hardship in the land, a situation which, in the view of some, has blighted the popularity of Buhari.

Also, the cracks in the APC, today, was not there in 2015 when Buhari defeated Jonathan. Conversely, whereas only Tambuwal was initially officially the opposition within the PDP, the coalescing of other bigwigs in late 2014 dealt of heavy blow to the PDP, today, the hydra-headed discontent in the APC further creates a compelling reason why the President must act fast.

The Challenge

Unfortunately, the hardliners in the APC who continue to threaten fire and brimstone and who, therefore, insist that nothing can happen, are no more than clones of the sort of their breed in the Jonathan-era PDP, who stiff-neckedly maintained that then President should not lose sleep because of the exit of some politicians.

Just as there were cogent and verifiable pointers to the challenges confronting the PDP at that time, pointers that could have been dealt with employing clear-headed strategies (but refused), today’s challenges confronting the APC are humongous. Take, for instance, the South-West geo-political zone.

That is the stronghold of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. But for Tinubu’s decision to swim with Buhari, the perennial inability of the President to secure the needed constitutionally demanded majority of votes, spread across at least 25% of votes in at least two thirds of the 36 states of the federation, may have been impossible. That is a zone whose Yoruba stock continue to see, in the seeming lack of inclusiveness of the Tinubu camp, as a negation of an agreement to work together once power is captured. The discontentment in the zone is palpable, just as there are much more opposing voices today than there were in 2015. The zone is not as secure as it was in 2015.

Interestingly, the plethora of parallel congresses in some states in the zone makes for a compelling reason why Buhari must act.

The South-East, apart from the episodic and strange loyalty of the Ebonyi State governor, David Umahi, the fanatical but now confused commitment of Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, and the born-again effusion of praise for the Buhari administration by Orji Uzor Kalu, a former governor of Abia State, the zone has maintained a studied opposition to the Buhari government.

Even as of Friday, the South-East leaders of the party were still grappling with the opposition to its decision to return national officers from the zone in the working committee of theAPC unopposed. In the South-South region, the most populous state, Rivers, is governed by a decidedly militant state governor who has been put through the furnace of steadfastness in his PDP origins, because of the quantum of attacks he has endured from the Federal Government – his predecessor also went through a similar experience in his last days in office.

Even based on recent developments and the continued political atomisation of goodwill in Rivers, the APC’s loss, is PDP’s gain.

Just last week, Akwa Ibom State government posted the picture of a massive turnout of supporters for the Democracy Day celebrations in Uyo, the state capital, signposting the level of support the PDP administration in the state enjoys.

Delta and Cross River States are PDP states and do not appear to be about to change status. In the Middle Belt (North-Central Zone), the killing fields of Benue, Nasarawa and Plateau States would make a campaign for Buhari a bit difficult and, therefore, requires that the incumbent should pull all the stops to resolve whatever problems that are dogging his party. Apart from Kwara and Niger States, Kogi’s bouts of quarrel between some leaders and Governor Yahaya Bello are part of the mix. In the North-West Zone, the crises in Kaduna and Kano Sates, the growing discontent in his state of Katsina, as well as the positioning of the Sokoto State governor, Tambuwal for president in 2019, all make for a compelling reason why the President should disembark from his flight of indifference and ensure that the APC does not go the way of the PDP under Jonathan.

Even in the insurgency-infested North-East zone, Adamawa, Gombe and Bauchi remain fronts of contention. All these make for an urgent and necessary ingredient for Buhari to take charge of the dialogue with those who say they are displeased with the status quo today.

Their Demands

“We have as a minimum that our group should hold the office of Senate President and Speaker; after all, the old CPC has the President, old ACN has the Vice-President and what do we have?” an APC stalwart said. Members of the bloc, it was gathered, are, however, very sceptical of the capacity of the party winning the presidency in 2019 on a free ballot and, as such, seem determined to pull out as soon as possible.

“Do you think with their record in government that they can win?”, the source asked rhetorically, as he inferred that remaining in the APC may even do more damage to the politicians given what he alleged as the disappearance of the goodwill that ushered the party to power in 2015. A stakeholder, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, was, however, dismissive of the talk linking the group to the PDP, saying the brand had been severely damaged beyond redemption.

Expressing scepticism over tomorrow’s meeting, the stakeholder said: “What is playing out in the APC is exactly what played out in the CPC – Congress for Progressives Change. The President allowed the crisis there to fester and did not manage it and that is what we see happening here. “Imagine if the President had intervened when the problems between (Governor Abdullahi) Ganduje and (Senator Rabiu) Kwankwanso broke out, we would not have been here.

“That is the pattern we see and we do not see the talks bearing any fruit, so it is just a waiting game as we know that we are definitely going, but to where I do not know.”

The stakeholder reiterated that the Senate President was the one holding back restive members of the group. “You know this was how Saraki tried to convince President Goodluck (Jonathan) before pulling out of the PDP, so it is that waiting game that we are in now”, the source added.

Fayose raises alarm over alleged plot by Fayemi to implicate him, PDP leaders with murder

Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has raised the alarm over alleged plot by the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in the State, Dr. Kayode Fayemi to implicate him and some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with murder.

The governor alleged that a meeting was held in Isan-Ekiti, the hometown of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the flag bearer of the APC in the July 14, 2018 governorship election where a certain thug popularly known as Agbara was assigned with the task of carrying out the sinister plot of killing people and dumping their corpses in houses belonging to PDP chieftains as well as Fajuyi Park.

It should be recalled that at the APC secretariat on Friday, a chieftain of the APC, Hon. Opeyemi Bamidele and five others were hit by shots by a policeman brought from Lagos to protect one of the APC chieftains.

The governor said; “This alarm has become necessary because of a meeting that was held yesterday, in Isan-Ekiti, the hometown of Dr. Kayode Fayemi, the flag bearer of the APC in the July 14, 2018 governorship election.

“They have hired one Agbara to kill one or two indigenes of Ekiti and dump their bodies in the houses of PDP leaders, Fajuyi Park, in Ado Ekiti or near the government house. This is an attempt to link me and my party with killings.

“This new plot is as a result of the failure of the plot to link me with the shooting of Hon. Michael Opeyemi Bamidele (MOB) and others by a policeman at the APC secretariat on Friday.

“We take exception to this sinister plot as we will not be a party to violence act. Ekiti has been peaceful in the last three and half years, we want to keep enjoying this peace and will not want it disrupted because of politics. Our ambition is not worthy of the blood of any Ekiti indigene.

“We therefore call on the police and other security agencies to be vigilant and Ekiti people to please be watchful. Your life and my life will not be used as sacrifice for this election.

“I want to plead with everyone to please take note that violence is not an option. I also urge the federal government to take necessary steps to save Ekiti from further crisis.”
