Abuja — Worried by the dimension
of the disagreement between
Rivers and Bayelsa states over oil
wells, President Goodluck
Jonathan may have convened a meeting between
representatives of the two
states to find an amicable
solution to the disputes. It was gathered that the
president was unhappy that
some elders in Rivers State were
trying to rope him into the
dispute with the insinuation that
he may have been personally involved in the controversy over
disputed oil wells in favour of
Bayelsa state. The meeting which is scheduled
for this weekend is aimed at
calming frayed nerves and is to
be led by the governors of Rivers
and Bayelsa states. It would be recalled that
President Jonathan had in a
statement by his Special Adviser
on Media and Publicity, Dr. Reuben
Abati, Tuesday, denied
insinuations by the Kalabari National Forum and some
monarchs that he was behind the
border disputes between the
Rivers and Bay States, with him
allegedly behind plans to “cede
five Rivers State oil communities to Bayelsa.”. He described the allegations as
irresponsible and most
unfortunate, especially coming
from people believed to be
respectable in the society. He said contrary to insinuations,
the statutory Federal
Government agencies alleged to
be used by his government to
pursue this unholy allegations, do
not take orders from the President; they are independent
bodies. Jonathan had said the dispute in
question between Rivers and
Bayelsa states predated his
administration, and had been a
matter for consideration by the
National Boundary Commission, the Revenue Mobilisation
Allocation and Fiscal Commission
(RMAFC) and other relevant
agencies, long before now. He added that the matter had
never at any time been brought
before either him or the vice
president. The statement read in parts: “We
consider these allegations
irresponsible and most
unfortunate considering the
status of the persons who
reportedly championed the protest. The statutory agencies
being referred to by the
protesters do not take orders
from the President; they are
independent bodies. Besides,
there are laid down procedures for resolving inter-state
boundary disputes. “In this particular case, the
dispute between Rivers and
Bayelsa states predates the
Jonathan administration, and
has been a matter for
consideration by the National Boundary Commission, the
Revenue Mobilisation Allocation
and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC)
and other relevant agencies, long
before now. The matter has
never at any time been brought before either the President or
the Vice President”. Amaechi was quoted to have
called on officials of the Bayelsa
State Government to leave the oil
wells of Soku and Elem-Sangama
communities in Rivers State for
Rivers people as they have been in existence even before the
creation of Bayelsa State. He said Rivers and Bayelsa states
had never had issues with
boundaries as the boundaries
were well known to all. He noted
that since the creation of
Bayelsa State there had been no law or agreement ceding any
part of Kalabari communities or
Rivers State to Bayelsa State.

FOUR persons were yesterday killed in
an auto crash, which occurred in front
of the Ogun State Governor’s office,
Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta. The mangled bodies of the victims
were trapped in the damaged car and
sympathisers had to use axe to cut the
car into pieces to enable them remove
the bodies.
The accident involved a Toyota Tundra Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) marked,
Lagos: FC 787LND and Nissan Primeria
car with registration number FZ 914
LSR.
The SUV, said to have been coming
from Sagamu end of the road on speed was reported to have crossed
the median and hit the car which had
six occupants on the other side of the
road.
The Guardian gathered at the scene of
the accident that the driver of the SUV was receiving a telephone call while
on top speed, when he suddenly
approached the speed breaker in
front of the Governor’s office, resulting
in the accident.
According to an eyewitness “the driver of the SUV was receiving a
phone call while on speed, so when
he got to the speed breaker he
suddenly applied the brake and in the
process lost control of the vehicle,
which crossed to the other side of the road and hit the other car.” The Ogun State Rescued Team of the
Nigeria Security and Civil Defence
Corps (NSCDS), officials of the Federal
Road Safety Commission (FRSC) and
the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and
Enforcement Agency (TRACE) who raced to the accident scene took those
who sustained injuries to the Federal
Medical Centre and deposited the dead
bodies in the morgue. The TRACE team leader at the scene,
Mr. Oladele Badmos, said information
at his disposal indicated the driver of
the SUV caused the accident,
confirming that the driver was
receiving a telephone while driving..

Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has ordered all Zonal Assistant Inspectors-General of Police and Commissioners of Police at the state commands to provide 24-hour water-tight security across the country before, during and after the Sallah celebration.” In a statement by the Deputy Force Public
Relations Officer, Frank Mba, in Abuja on
Wednesday, Abubakar directed all
Commanders of Police Highway Patrol Teams
to ensure that motorised patrols on highways
targeted at crime and accident prevention, are intensified to ensure a safe, secure and
peaceful celebration. “Policemen deployed on our highways have
also been directed to render necessary
assistance to travelers and road users,
especially accident victims and those who
might have suffered vehicular break down,” he
added. The IG further directed the CPs to personally
ensure that key and vulnerable points, all
places of worship, recreation centers, resorts
and other public places are adequately and
effectively protected, to enable worshipers and
the general public to enjoy the Eid-el Kabir celebration. Abubakar warned officers who would be
deployed during the period, to ensure that
they conduct themselves within the confines of
the law. “They must be firm but polite, civil and
professional in the discharge of their assigned
roles, giving due regard and respect to the
fundamental human rights of citizens at all
times,” he said.

THE Joint Task Force (JTF) in Yobe State has moved 90 suspected members of the Boko Haram sect in the state to Abuja. The 90 were part of the 169 suspected members of the sect that were initially arrested in Damaturu, the state capital, out of which 79 were cleared after a thorough screening. ] This is coming even as the Yobe State government imposed 24-hour- curfew on the state. It was gathered that the 90 suspects were transferred to Abuja for further investigations. Meanwhile, the curfew in the state started at 10p.m. yesterday as all entrances and exit roads to the state were cordoned off by security men. Also, at about 4a.m. on Saturday, the JTF operation in Maiduguri, Borno State, Operation Restore Order, based on intelligence, conducted simultaneous cordon and search operation in some areas of the Maiduguri metropolis. The operation conducted at Dala area of the city resulted into a massive recovery of arms, ammunition and IED hidden in an underground in a house. Also, three unidentified Boko Haram members were arrested while four of the Boko Haram members were killed in Gombaru area of Maiduguri. Details of the recovered items, as given by the JTF, were two AK-47 riffles, one rocket propelled grenade tube, three rocket propelled grenade chargers, three G3 rifles, one smoke pistol, one FNC riffle, four pump action
machine gun, two locally made pistols,, three tear-gars lunchers, 34 tear-gas canisters, three tear-gas grenade, 1.5m detonating cord, one IED cylinder, magazines of FNC riffle, 22 assorted ammunition, 12 assorted empty magazine, 1045 assorted ammunition and 12 GSM handsets. Others included four riffle cleaning kits, one laptop and two hand-held metal detectors, one fragment jacket, eight magazine holders, 100 litres of drum containing fertilizer and six pieces of 25-litre jerrycans containing incendiary materials.

From the mainland to the
highland, it was a tale of woes
as most filling stations were shut
to customers. Though, fuel
attendants were seen standing on-guard at their duty post but
not dispensing the product. Though, the major cause of the
partial scarcity is still shrouded
in heresies. But the acting
spokesman of the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC), Fidel Pepple, blamed the situation on the damaged
corporation’s pipeline by oil
vandals at Arepo in Ogun State. The NNPC spokesperson stated
that the corporation is yet to fix
the damaged pipeline following
the killing of some of their
officers by suspected bunkers
deployed to effect repairs. This development, Pepple said
compelled the corporation to
bridge products by trucks as
against the pipeline. But beyond this explanation,
speculations were rife that the
situation may degenerate as
most major oil marketers refused
to import fuel following the
subsidy claims controversy they were embroiled in with the
federal government. However, in Lagos, none of the
filling stations’ managers were
willing to comment on the
situation. As at Monday morning,
it has become glaring to
Lagosians again, that the battle for fuel has began in earnest as
the usual long queues were
noticed at most filling stations
that agreed to dispense the
product. Ikorodu Axis As at last Sunday evening,
virtually a handful of filling
stations were sighted dispensing
the product to motorists. But in
Owode, Ajegunle, prospective
buyers were disappointed as the filling stations in the area were
closed to customers. A teenager
who identified himself as Nnamdi
expressed surprise at the sudden
scarcity of fuel in the area and
wondered if the situation was the same in the entire Lagos
metropolis. “My uncle sent me to buy fifteen
litres of fuel to power our
generator as we cannot store
the product but all the filling
stations were closed, not even
the NNPC filling station at Novel drugs bus stop was opened to
customers,” Nnamdi said. Like the Nnamdi, other teenagers
and adults alike were seen
clutching different sizes of jerry
cans searching for the product
to power their generator as the
community has been plunged into perpetual darkness for almost
three months. As at Monday morning, the
situation assumed a different
dimension as all the filling
stations in Ikorodu axis were
shut. Again, the fuel attendants
were on guard but not on duty. By Tuesday, only few filling
stations agreed to sell to
customers while others
maintained their hard stance
ostensibly for pecuniary
reasons. Ikorodu residents had to journey to Maryland and
Anthony before they could get
fuel to buy. Saturday Vanguard
investigations showed that the
few filling stations which
dispensed fuel only had just one
or two of their pumping
machines working while customers groaned under long
queues. Beside, the attendants
were requesting for pecks
before fuel would be sold to
anyone buyer. A motorist who refused to part
with some amount of money
aside the cost of the litre of fuel
purchased was not attended to.
The young man who later
identified himself simply as Bode, wondered why the extra
payment. “If they (Federal government or
oil marketers) want to increase
the pump price of fuel why not
do it instead of this under-hand
dealings,” he said. According to investigations, the
amount of money requested for
as gratifications depends
largely on the litres of fuel
bought. For 20 to 50 litres of fuel,
customers were expected to pay N200) as pecks. But for 50 litres
and above, the sum of N300 is
requested as pecks. The fuel
attendants made more money
from those buying with jerry
cans. Apart from the filling station at
Palm Groove in Onipan, the other
filling stations along the Ikorodu
axis were under lock and key as
at last Thursday. However, as at yesterday, Friday,
some of the filling stations have
stated dispensing the product
with caution as only two
pumping machines were
functional. Surulere At Ojuelegba, the filling stations
were completely closed. But
feelers showed that they were
operational at night. Some of the
fuel attendants declined
comment. But a security officer to one of the filling station who
refused to keep sealed lips
disclosed to Saturday Vanguard
that they dispensed fuel only in
the evenings at extra cost to the
consumers. However, at Lawson, the filling
stations were selling fuel at N130
per litre. Though, they did not
adjust their machines, but the
cost was calculated with biro
and paper. A visibly angry fuel attendant responded this way
when queried why the sudden
jerk in the pump price of fuel. “Oga nobody is forcing anybody
to buy at this rate. If you have a
choice, then, go there and let us
be,” he said. A young man who gave his names
as Justin Nwafor, said the case
of those buying in jerry cans are
even worse as they were forced
to buy at the rates of between
N140 and N150 per litre. “I operate a business centre and
need fuel to power my
generator. I don’t know how
much to charge for a page of
photo-copy if I buy a litre of fuel
at N140, he queried. Yet another angry buyer on the
queue who gave his name as
Innocent urged the government
to be transparent in its dealings
with the citizens. “It the federal government want
to withdraw subsidy completely
from petroleum product, let them
come out and say so instead of
this shoddy dealings marketers
indulge in. Nigerians are already confused because marketers and
federal government were busy
trading blames while the masses
suffer. Only God knows whose interest
those behind this current
scarcity are serving,” he said. Other suburbs tucked in Surulere,
the story is the same as all the
filling stations visited were
hoarding the product. Island, Lekki, and Ajah Although the situation at Island
became pronounced on Tuesday
as the filling stations at
Awolowo Way and environs were
shut but by the next day,
Wednesday, some were opened to customers, again, with just
four out of the ten pumping
machines dispensing fuel. A banker who gave his name as
Demiji, said he left his car at his
office for fear that his fuel tank
may run dry on his way home. Demiji who blamed the partial
fuel scarcity in Lagos on
marketers who want to maximize
profit, lamented that the
regulatory agency saddled with
responsibility of ensuring that fuel is dispensed and sold at
appropriate price seems to
abandoned their duty. Hence, all
these illegalities by these filling
stations. “Who will check them? They have
fuel but sell whenever they are
ready to do so. Often times, they
engaged in this sharp practice
whenever they anticipate
increment in pump price of fuel by the federal government in
order to make outrageous
profit,” he said. As at yesterday, all but the NNPC
Mega filling station at the Island
was consistent in dispensing fuel
to motorists without
gratifications. But at the Lekki, Ajah axis,
virtually all the filling stations in
these vicinity were operational
on full time. Available report
states that filling stations
throughout the week sold fuel at no additional cost. A motorist who ply the Lekki,
Ajah axis and would not want his
name in print, said that when
abnormal situation is normal, one
has to watch it as there might be
a foul play somewhere. “That the filling station
attendants were not asking for
pecks like their contemporaries
at the Mainland does not mean
that all is well. But how can you
be so sure that the 10 litre fuel dispensed in your car is actually
10 litres. We all know these things
but choose to ignore them. It
could be possible that the
quantity of fuel sold here may
likely not correspond with the amount of money purchased. So,
one needs to be careful, he said. However, as at yesterday
afternoon, the long queues
noticed at some of the filling
stations have started
disappearing. But investigations
showed that most of the filling stations operate at minimum
hours. Apapa area The industrial layout,Apapa has
its share of pain when the fuel
scarcity began last Monday.
Most filling stations were shut.
But the day after, some started
to resume operation but not in full capacity as only two
pumping machines dispensed fuel
to the long queue of motorists
anxiously waiting to buy the
product. From Wharf to Mile 2 only two
filling stations were seen
dispensing fuel to motorists and
other buyers with jerry cans. Not
even the filling station adjacent
to Berger Yard sold fuel all through the week. Orile, Badagry The situation was not better
either in these localities as filling
stations in Orile down to Mile 2
indulged in the same sharp
practice of dispensing the
product with just two pumping machines. Saturday Vanguard
investigations showed that the
situation was entirely different
on the first day of the scarcity.
The filling stations were closed.
But on the third day, skeletal services were rendered to
customers but not without
parting with a token to the
attendants. At Festac, Okomaiko, down to
Agbara, the story was not
different either as motorists and
other users of the product
groaned under the yoke of the
partial scarcity of fuel. Ironically in Badagry, the
product was readily available
but at N140 per litre. The filling
stations were opened to
customers but dispensed fuel at
outrageous price per litre. However, a general survey by
Saturday Vanguard showed that
fuel crisis situation is gradually
returning to normal. But filling
station owners who still harbor
the fear of sudden increase in pump price of the product seem
adamant in running their
stations in full capacity. There is
every likelihood that the
situation may improve today if
report reaching the press, that the federal government has put
machinery in motion to check the
menace.

Justice Mudashiru Oniyangi of an Abuja High Court on Friday dismissed an application by former Inspector General of Police, Sunday Ehindero, which urged the court to stop Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) from arraigning him. Justice Oniyangi also dismissed similar
application filed by the suspended
Commissioner of Police in charge of Budget at
the Force Headquarters, John Obaniyi. The judge further refused to vacate the leave
granted the ICPC to arraign the duo. The duo had filed separate notices of
preliminary objection challenging the
jurisdiction of the court as well as the leave
granted the ICPC to file charges against them. They had prayed the court to quash the six
counts preferred against them by the anti-
graft agency. The ICPC had filed a charge of
alleged corrupt embezzlement of N16 million
against them. The ICPC said the amount was the interests
generated from N567 million donated to the
Nigeria Police by the Bayelsa State
Government for the purchase of arms,
ammunition and riot control equipment. The accused persons could be imprisoned for
seven years if convicted. Delivering his ruling, Justice Oniyangi held that
the anti-graft agency had, by the proof of
evidence before the court, successfully
established a prima facie evidence against the
accused to warrant their being put to trial. “Prima facie evidence has been shown by the
ICPC through the exhibits and statements of
witness to proceed with trial,” he said. Justice Oniyangi also held that the ICPC was
competent to prosecute the accused, adding
that the ICPC Act 2000, under which the duo
were charged, was a valid law. He said that the submission of Mr Ehindero’s
counsel, Mike Ozekhome, that the ICPC Act
2000 was a non existing law, was not tenable. He said that the offence the suspects were
charged with were known to written laws,
stressing that it was not correct to say the
ICPC was charging the accused under non-
existent law. The judge further held that the commission is
empowered to prosecute offences which fall
under the penal and criminal codes. Justice Oniyangi, therefore, dismissed the
objections and subsequently ordered that
Misters Ehindero and Obaniyi be arraigned. After the ruling, Justice Oniyangi read the
charges to accused persons who pleaded not
guilty. Justice Oniyangi, refused to grant bail to
Misters Ehindero and Obaniyi on liberal terms
as made in an oral application by Mr
Ozekhome. He granted them bail in the sum of N10 million
each and one surety in like sum and ordered
that the surety must swear to an affidavit of
means. He also said the accused persons should be
detained in prison if they failed to meet the
bail conditions. Justice Oniyangi adjourned the case to 12
November for accelerated hearing.

OGOJA area is one of the last
provinces in Nigeria that has not
become a state. Whatever the
reasons no one is sure. Most
under-developed areas of the
country that have become states have seen fast and significant
infrastructure, economic, and
political development overnight. For example, Akwa Ibom and
Ebonyi states of Nigeria. This
must be remedied to bring
psychological, educational,
economic and political
development to this part of the country that hasn’t seen any
significant development since the
colonial rule. The creation of then South
Eastern State or current Cross
River State has left this region
still largely untouched by any
meaningful economic or political
progress. The vast human and natural resources of Ogoja are
not being harnessed to benefit
the people of the area or Nigeria
for that matter. The human and
natural resources are wasting
away. For years, this area was
neglected by the Federal
Government because the area is
occupied by mostly minority
tribes. The area continues to
suffer from huge economic disparity, health, educational,
and poverty problems. No part of
the country should be left to
suffer such deprivation,
especially when the country has
the economic resources and the political wherewithal to address
the issue. The economic, educational, and
political gains made by the sons
and daughters of this area are
not significant enough to benefit
the citizens, so they continue to
suffer in silence and without a voice in their own country. This
imbalance must change so that
Ogoja people can engage and
participate fully in our new
democratic process. With the on-
going constitutional review, the National Assembly and the
Federal Government should
embark on the immediate task of
creating an Ogoja state during
this legislative session. This bold step will remove the
pains the Ogoja people have
suffered in educationally,
socially, emotionally, politically
and economically over time. Any visible development in the
area is credited to the early
Roman Catholic missionaries that
came to the area to serve the
spiritual needs of the people. They built schools, churches,
orphanages, and hospitals, most
of all they gave the people some
hope for a better future. The
current Cross River State is too
large to undertake any meaningful economic
development to benefit the
Ogoja people.For Ogoja people,
progress is standing still. Ogoja State should be created in
this administration because of
the political and economic
benefits it will bring to the
region as well as the nation as a
whole. Ogoja state would become the agricultural home of
the nation. The region is noted
for fertile soil and agricultural
produce such as yams, rice,
cassava and cocoa grown in the
area.State creation will bring immediate wealth, education,
health, economic, and political
resources to this neglected
region. The area will see steady flow of
goods, people and capital for
economic development and
growth. Better roads for
commerce will be developed and
maintained by the Federal Government and Ogoja State.
Ultimately, this will alleviate
poverty and the suffering of the
Ogoja people. Educationally, the new state will
create more primary, secondary
and higher education
opportunities to benefit the
citizens of this area. The area lacks health care
facilities to serve the people. This
will change because Ogoja State
will be able to build more
healthcare facilities and
increase access to healthcare resources for families and
children. For small scale
industries to develop there must
be electricity. Ogoja State will embark on rural
electrification project to allow
businesses and entrepreneurs to
invest in small scale industries
and to create jobs in the area.
Most importantly, it will focus attention on the areas of human
development that has been
neglected for generations. Participatory democracy
requires that all citizens must be
allowed to participate and
contribute to the economic and
political affairs of the nation,
share in the benefits and burdens of the country. The
creation of Ogoja State would
give its citizens some
participation and voice in the
political process of the country. It would also promote the
regional development of the
economic activities of the region,
promote interstate commerce, as
well as cooperation and sharing
of natural and human resources. In addition, it would create
favourable business environment
and spur economic development. The voice of the people would be
fully represented. The current
political landscape leaves most
of this area under-represented
and unappreciated.If the nation
is to keep its promise to the minority people of the country
and to live up to the true spirit
and aspirations of the
Constitution, then Ogoja State
must be created now. The ruling party in Cross River
State should welcome the
creation of Ogoja State because
the regional economy will benefit
all. Finally, this would encourage
sound economic and political development in the region and
ultimately give the people of
Ogoja a voice they never had
because equity, fairness, and
justice demand this change. Mr .THOMAS OGAR, a lawyer ,
wrote from CT, USA.

With the much-awaited launch of the iphone5 in Japan, the honour of being among the first to get their hands on the iPhone 5 has gone a bit awkward as thieves in Japan broke into carrier stores and carted away over $100,000 worth of Apple’s latest smartphone. The Wall Street Journal reports that both
Softbank and KDDI’s au were the victims of
burglaries just hours before the iPhone 5 was
set to go on sale. Three separate incidents
across Osaka resulted in a total of 191
phones being lifted. Police estimated the largest heist, which saw 116 units nabbed
from Softbank, was worth an estimated 7.45
million yen ($95,000). It’s not clear whether the incidents were
connected, though proximity and timing makes
it possible that all three burglaries were
committed by the same perpetrators. The high value of Apple devices makes them
frequent targets of theft. Apple has had
difficulty with smash-and-grab burglaries
that take advantage of the glass doors in
many of its retail stores. One recent high-
profile incident involved a BMW SUV crashing through a storefront in Temecula, California. Friday morning’s burglaries do slightly mar the
launch of Apple’s new gadget, but expected
record sales should more than make up for
the unfortunate incidents. Apple pre-sold
more than 2 million iPhone 5 units in the first 24
hours of availability, and the company’s own estimates suggest new orders won’t be
shipped for 3-4 weeks. In nine countries around the world, legitimate
owners of the iPhone 5 will begin purchasing
the iPhone 5 on Friday. The Next Web obtained
two units for testing the new HD Voice
feature on the Telstra network in Australia.
Call quality was clearly better with the devices, though it could still stand for
improvement. Teardown experts’ iFixit also made their way
out to Australia to get early access to the
iPhone 5. After breaking down the handset,
they found it to be substantially more
repairable than previous versions of the
iPhone.

I personally do not have any
problem with Ibo Presidency or
any part of the country's
Presidency for that matter. The
only thing I would encourage
Nigerians to look for in selecting their leaders is to look for
honest, upright, and above all,
tested and trusted individuals.
Experimenting with rookies and
"PDP brought up" candidates
like the present occupier of ASO rock will always backfire and
with grave consequences as the
country is presently
experiencing.

OSOGBO – Former Abia State
Governor, Dr. Orji Uzor Kalu
yesterday declared that the
Igbo will not compromise for any
other position other than the
post of the President in 2015. Fielding questions from newsmen
shortly after he delivered a
lecture on “Leadership: Key
factor to a better Nigeria” at
the Professor David Ijalaiye
annual lecture series organized by the Equity Chambers of the
Obafemi Awolowo University, OAU,
Ile Ife, Dr. Kalu stated that the
Igbo will not settle for any other
position. His words “In 2015 what will
happen is that the Igbo will vote
for the Igbo, Yoruba for Yoruba
and Hausa vote for Hausa. Then,
we will all come to Abuja to
discuss and determine who should be Nigerian President.” “Anybody who thinks that there
is going to be a straight ballot
thing to produce the President in
2015 is only fooling himself ,” he
added. The former presidential
candidate of the Progressive
Peoples Alliance said although he
was currently not in any political
party he will continue to fight
against injustice and all that is in the interest of the good people
of the country. In his lecture, Dr Kalu recalled
that since 1967 when the military
came into governance in the
country, Nigeria had not been
able to produce any good
leader, as according to him most of them are either not prepared
for the office or reluctant to
take over the leadership of the
country.

OAM4J is the best mod 4 me.

God help us!!!

With all respect to my president and
the president of Nigeria, remember
your election promise d to the teeming
unemployed youths of our country. I'm
amazed tonight to the report credited
to you, that you have approved the sum of 600 billion naira for
demographic database, when the
creation of jobs are just mirage and
not real. Sir, is their any future for us:
from the past records, such huge
funds as always turn to be, people who are to implement the project,
enrich their bank account with this
funds. Mr president, we voted you in
because we want a change and let
every funds approved by your
administration be subject to accountability and as well the agency
or contractor involved, by so doing we
can dream big and achieved our
common objectives.
