The All Progressives Congress (APC) on Wednesday donated five million naira to victims of Friday’s bomb blast at the Kano Central Mosque. The APC National Chairman, John Oyegun, announced the donation when he paid a condolence visit to Governor Rabi’u Kwankwaso at the Government House, Kano. Oyegun said the party deemed it necessary to donate the token in order to support the victims of the most unfortunate incident. “I want, to on behalf of the APC, to convey a truly heartfelt condolence and sympathy to the government and people of Kano State over the sad incident. “We share your grief and the people of Kano over the sad and unfortunate event. We wish to make a token donation of five million naira in support of the victims of the blast,’’ he said. He said that the recent incidents in Kano State and Damaturu clearly underscored the need for increased, concerted efforts to end the insurgent activities, to save the country from anarchy. He, however, commended Kano State Government for the support and assistance it extended to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from the North-East. “Let me use this opportunity to commend you because we are not unaware of the support and assistance you are giving to IDPs from the North-East.’’ Responding, Kwankwaso, represented by his Deputy, Abdullahi Ganduje, thanked the APC leadership for its concern. Kwankwaso assured that the state government would continue to work with various security agencies in order to ensure security of lives and property of the citizenry. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Oyegun was accompanied by other national officers of the party. http://thegistspot.com/news/apc-donates-sum-5-million-naira-kano-bomb-blast-victims/ |

The Nigerian military has intercepted a Russian plane loaded with large amount of arms and ammunition, bound for neighbouring Chad, a security source has told PREMIUM TIMES. The plane was seized early Saturday at the Aminu Kano International Airport. The aircraft, which was headed for N’djamena, the capital of Chad, landed in Kano at about 2a.m. Nigerian time, the source said. All crew members of the aircraft have been detained by Nigerian forces. http://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/top-news/172552-breaking-nigerian-military-seizes-arms-laden-russian-plane-bound-chad.html |

The Chadian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Isah Braimah, has absolved his country of funding or arming the Boko Haram insurgents and asked the #BringBackOurGirls coalition members, who visited his mission on Wednesday in Abuja, to meet the Federal Government for answers on the abducted Chibok girls. The envoy stated that his country had no inkling of the whereabouts of the over 200 Chibok girls who were abducted by the Boko Haram sect in April, 2014, stressing that it was only the Nigerian government that should be held responsible for the rescue of the schoolgirls. Some members of the BBOG had stormed the Chadian embassy located at Maitama, Abuja, on Wednesday with banners, asking the Chadian government to explain its roles in the insurgency in the North-East. They also demanded a response to a media report that a close ally of the Chadian President had been arrested by Cameroonian gendarmes, with lethal arms meant for Boko Haram. The leader of the BBOG members, Aisha Yesufu, who led four representatives of the movement to the meeting with the ambassador, quoted Braimah as saying that Chad was not supporting Boko Haram insurgents in its war against Nigeria. According to Yesufu, the envoy accused the Nigeria Police Force of dragging the name of his county in the mud by alleging that it arrested a Chadian with arms. Yesufu said Braimah challenged the police to provide evidence of Chadian involvement in the terrorism in Nigeria. The BBOG leader, who briefed other coalition members after the meeting outside the Chadian embassy gate, stated that the ambassador could not provide satisfactory answers to many questions that were posed to him on the Boko Haram insurgency and his nation’s questionable roles. “The ambassador said the way Chadians practised Islam is different from Nigeria because Muslims co-exist peacefully with others. He said we should meet our government for answers on the Chibok girls and denied that his country was supporting or sponsoring Boko Haram,” Yesufu explained. She said that the group was advised to send a letter to President Idris Deby of Chad, who would be expected to give a detailed response to the BBOG’s inquiries. Yesufu added that her movement would also send a letter to President Goodluck Jonathan, as advised by the envoy, to demand an update on the efforts being made to rescue the Chibok girls who had been in Boko Haram captivity for seven months. Earlier, the BBOG campaigners had a tough time entering the embassy, as stern-looking policemen and women from the FCT Police Command manned the embassy gate, thinking the campaigners wanted to foment trouble. But an embassy official discussed with the leaders of the BBOG and it was agreed that only five members would be allowed to have a meeting with the ambassador. http://www.punchng.com/news/were-not-funding-bharam-chad-envoy-tells-bbog/ |
The global corruption watchdog, Transparency International, has ranked Nigeria as the 39th most corrupt nation in the world. According to the Corruption Perception Index 2014 released on Wednesday, Nigeria scored 27 out of a maximum 100 marks to clinch the 136th position out of the 175 countries surveyed for the report. Nigeria appeared to have improved by eight points against its 2013 rating of 144th of 175 countries last year. It will be recalled that the Transparency International Corruption Perception Index ranked Nigeria 35th most corrupt nation in the world in 2012. A statement issued by the Transparency International noted that more than two thirds of the 175 countries in the 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index scored below 50, on a scale from 0 (perceived to be highly corrupt) to 100 (perceived to be very clean). Denmark is the least corrupt nation in the world, ranking first out of the 175 countries surveyed while North Korea and Somalia are the most corrupt nations of the world. The Transparency International said while top performer, Denmark, had strong rule of law, support for civil society and clear rules governing the behaviour of those in public positions, it also set an example by announcing plans to create a public register, such as beneficial ownership information for all companies incorporated in Denmark. This measure, according to the corruption watchdog, will make it harder for the corrupt to hide behind companies registered in another person’s name. Botswana comes top as the least corrupt nation in Africa, ranking 31st least corrupt globally while South Africa is ranked 67th. Transparency International Chairman, José Ugaz, in a statement on the TI website, said countries at the bottom needed to adopt radical anti-corruption measures in favour of their people. “The 2014 Corruption Perceptions Index shows that economic growth is undermined and efforts to stop corruption fade when leaders and high level officials abuse power to appropriate public funds for personal gain,” Ugaz said. According to Ugaz, countries at the top of the index should make sure they do not export corrupt practices to underdeveloped countries. “The biggest falls were in Turkey (-5), Angola, China, Malawi and Rwanda (all -4). The biggest improvers were Côte d´Ivoire, Egypt, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines (+5) and Afghanistan, Jordan, Mali and Swaziland (+4),” the statement said. The anti-corruption group said it was currently running a campaign to unmask the corrupt, urging the European Union, the United States and G20 countries to follow Denmark’s lead and create public registers that would make clear “who really controls, or is the beneficial owner, of every company.” http://www.punchng.com/news/nigeria-now-39th-most-corrupt-nation-says-ti/ |
