The National Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Adamu Mu’azu, has ruled out a landslide victory for the party in the forthcoming general elections. The PDP has formed the federal government as well as most of the state governments since the return of democracy in Nigeria 16 years ago, following its victory in the 1999, 2003, 2007 and 2011 elections. President Goodluck Jonathan is the PDP candidate in the March 28 presidential poll. In a statement on Thursday, Mr. Mu’azu said he did not foresee a landslide victory for his party in the coming elections billed for March 28 and April 11. He however said he was confident the party will win the elections. According to him, “Our major concern in the Peoples Democratic Party is not to allow the country to be hijacked by desperadoes masquerading as purveyors of good governance, who promise heaven and earth to the people without any intention of fulfilling their election promises in the name of change. “While I do not see a landslide victory coming, I am convinced that our party will perform creditably in the Southwest and the North of Nigeria and elsewhere in all the elections this year because the evidence is clear that despite our travails at the beginning, we have done very well over the past fifteen years of our nascent democracy since 1999 to record victory. Those who disbelieve our resilience will be surprised for victory is ours.” Mr. Mu’azu, whose relationship with Mr. Jonathan is allegedly frosty, said the last four years had seen Nigeria take the economic centre stage by pursuing policies that have made the country to be the economic hub of Africa, proactively investing heavily in agricultural production as the alternative to oil, pursuing legislation that will make its people to control its oil and gas resources through the petroleum industry bill which is due for enactment by this National Assembly, perhaps before the end of this parliament. “I am delighted by the progress of our defence forces and their international collaborators in the war against insurgency in the Northeast of our country and the current mop up operations to sweep away the insurgents has progressed beyond our imagination,” the PDP national chairman said. “I am sure that President Jonathan when re-elected for a second term will declare a Marshall Plan to rebuild the entire geopolitical zone affected by the war. Our party has this programme on the top of our agenda in the next four years. That will be the right way to wipe away the scars of war among the people of that area.” Mr. Mu’azu, a former governor of Bauchi State, said he remained hopeful that the PDP “has not only taken the pole position in this tight two-horse race to win the 2015 presidential election, but will also go ahead to win the majority in the National Assembly and win many more states.” He added, “A vote for the PDP candidate, President Jonathan, is a vote for democracy, human rights, freedom and good governance. Nigerians know that it would be more risky voting any other way as it would mean uncharted waters, an uncertain future that is a potentially fraught enterprise.” The national chairman explained that after three weeks of town hall meetings, exchanges with traditional rulers and generally spreading the winning message of the PDP achievements and review of its activities since the 2011 presidential elections with supporters in the North East and South West of Nigeria, the party’s leadership is reassured it is inching its way to victory in the 2015 presidential elections. He stated further, “We shall continue this interactive engagement with Nigerians until 26th March when campaigns officially end before the March 28th Presidential elections, presenting our scorecard in government, our programme in the next four years to 2019, using the town hall format and meeting our revered traditional rulers. The PDP has a special plan that will see them play more roles in government in the near future via the instrument of the constitution. We believe that the traditional institution is crucially important to the peace, harmony and progress of our father land. “We are going around the country in search of undecided voters, who are the final battle ground where the election will be won or lost. The APC can continue to stir the rumour mills into believing that Mr. President and myself are in dispute, but we are very serious about winning a fourth presidential election and Insha Allah, we shall make it.” Mr. Mu’azu denied the claim by the All Progressives Congress that Mr. Jonathan was distributing hard currency to traditional rulers to vote for him. “The opposition party through one of its governors was shamefully saying that President Jonathan was giving away dollars to traditional rulers in the course of these visits. “It is a pity, coming from one of their respected governors, but we shall remain undaunted because as a rule, our party must continue the tradition of respect to our traditional fathers whose contribution to the peace of our country cannot be measured in monetary terms.” Our major concern in the Peoples Democratic Party is not to allow our country to be hijacked by desperados masquerading as purveyors of good governance, who promise heaven and earth to the people without any intention of fulfilling their election promises in the name of CHANGE. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/178819-nigeria2015-pdp-chairman-muazu-rules-out-landslide-victory-for-jonathan-others.html |

Folio Communications Limited, owners of Daily Times of Nigeria Plc, have threatened legal action against PREMIUM TIMES over the newspaper’s use of “TIMES” in its brand. In a letter to the Managing Director/Editor in-Chief of PREMIUM TIMES, Dapo Olorunyomi, the solicitors to Folio Communications Limited, Elias Mordi & Co, cautioned the newspaper to desist from using the word “TIMES” in its brand. The threat came days after Nigeria’s Minister of Petroleum Resources, Deziani Alison-Madueke, obtained a court order restraining PREMIUM TIMES and 10 other individuals and organisations from reporting on the missing $20 million oil money. Daily Times of Nigeria Plc is one of Nigeria’s oldest newspapers, incorporated on June 6, 1925 as Nigerian Printing & Publishing Company Limited. The company, however, started publishing in Lagos, South-West Nigeria on June 1, 1926. In the early 30s, it became a popular voice of the nationalist movement and was later bought over by the Daily Mirror Group of London in 1947. During the 70s and ’80s, the paper became one of the most successful locally-owned businesses in Africa, but its fortunes started dwindling after the Nigerian government repurchased the firm in 1975. The government later sold the company to Folio Communication Ltd on March 14, 2007, in a controversial process that was challenged in Court by D.S.V Limited, one of DTN’s shareholders which complained of “gross and illegal sale of company’s assets”. However, on January 29, 2010, a Federal High Court in Lagos, nullified the acquisition of majority shares of DTN by Folio Communications Limited, and declared the action null, void and of no effect. The trial judge, Okechukwu Okeke, had held that Folio Communications did not pay for the majority shares of DTN and that it was unlawful for the company to parade itself as a shareholder of DTN. It also faulted the sale by Folio Communications Ltd, the assets of DTN to settle part of the loan secured Mr. Anosike. One of the prized properties of the government-owned publishing firm that was sold by Mr. Anosike was a palatial building situated at Cold Harbour Lane in London, United Kingdom. The court noted that it was worrisome that Folio Communications took a loan to pay for the shares of DTN and held that D.S.V Limited’s case had merit and therefore, granted the relieves sought. While the case was being heard, the Lagos State chapter of the Nigerian Union of Journalists, stormed the premises of the court in protest, accusing Mr. Anosike of lacking the capacity to run the company, and being only interested in its assets. Folio Communications Limited appealed the judgment and in March 2013, after which the Court of Appeal ordered the retrial of the case. Apart from the court action, the Anosike brothers were also tried by the Nigerian government for illegally selling Daily Times’ asset, and fraudulently receiving money from government agencies. In its notice to PREMIUM TIMES, Folio Communications Ltd claimed that it is improper for the newspaper to use the word “TIMES” as a registered brand. “Our client is the publisher of the Daily Times, Weekend Times, Sunday Times and Business Times amongst other newspapers and special publications,” Uche Amulu, a representative of Elias Mordi & Co wrote. The legal firm said his client’s brand dominated the newspaper landscape not only in Nigeria but also across West Africa. “In Nigeria, the word ‘Times’ when associated with any newspaper publication has come to have a secondary meaning as denoting our client’s publication by the reading public, and that is the extent of the goodwill our client enjoys in the word ‘Times’ as a matter of trade name,” a part of the notice reads. “Your publication, ‘PREMIUM TIMES’ has a tendency of appropriating our client’s extant goodwill as already explained above and constitute actionable passing off. We, therefore, demand that you forthwith cease and desist from using the ‘TIMES’ in your future publications.” The legal firm threatened that failure to adhere and comply with the demands of its client may result in a legal action. PREMIUM TIMES newspaper was registered under relevant Nigerian laws in 2011 by Premium Times Services Limited, with a vision to among other things, strengthen Nigeria’s democracy, advance the socio-economic wellbeing and rights of the people, promote and enrich their cultural practices. It also advocates for best practices, good governance, transparency and human rights, in line with the values expected of a modern democratic state. PREMIUM TIMES’ Managing Editor, Mojeed Musikilu, said the matter has been referred to the company’s legal team. Mr. Musikilu declined to make further comments on the issue. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/178690-daily-times-threatens-to-sue-premium-times-over-brand-name.html |
