Tension prevailed in Owerri, the capital of Imo State yesterday when security agents blocked former Vice President Alex Ekwueme, former Senate President Senator Ken Nnamani, former state governor Chief Achike Udenwa, former Central Bank governor Prof Charles Soludo and former Ebonyi governor Dr. Sam Egwu from using the Concord Hotel to hold a meeting of the Igbo Political Forum. Among other Igbo dignitaries present for the event were former Governor Chris Ngige, Prof ABC Nwosu, Chief Jim Nwobodo, Sen. Ben Obi, Prof. Chinwe Obaji, and retired Air Vice Marshall Luck Ochulo. The gates of two other leading hotels in Owerri, All Seasons Hotel and Modotels Owerri owned by the former Vice President were equally locked by agents of the State Security Service (SSS) to prevent the organizers of the forum from holding their summit. A large number of heavily armed Mobile Policemen stationed at the premises of the three hotels to prevent the group from holding the meeting. However, the event was held outside the hotel’s hall. The large number of delegates sweated profusely as they stood in the hot sun to hold the meeting. Chief Alex Ekuweme, in his speech, said that the purpose of the forum was to chart a new course for the Igbo nation. He denied insinuations that the forum was called to endorse a candidate, adding that the meeting would rather afford Igbos the opportunity to discuss issues affecting them, especially in the present political situation in Nigeria. Ekwueme assured that at the end of their discussion the forum would recommend a consensus candidate that would have the interest of the Igbo nation at heart. In his welcome address, Chairman of the Igbo Political Forum Dr. Sam Okeke said the summit was called so that Igbos will talk to themselves and out of free will chart a cause for their realization of their destiny. He said rumours that the forum was going to endorse a candidate for the 2011 presidency was false. He also said an Igbo presidency in 2015 is irrevocable, adding that Igbos are ready to collaborate with whoever will make that possible. He said that while the Igbos have had the offer from the North, they are yet to have one single approach from the South-South zone, describing it as “unwise.” Former Governor of old Anambra State Chief Jim Nwobodo expressed dismay over the refusal by the hotel to allow the summit to hold in their hall, saying payment for the hall had already been made and they have the receipt. Former Vice President and PDP presidential aspirant Atiku Abubakar condemned yesterday’s events in Owerri, saying the much touted free and fair elections in 2011 is at risk if the emerging tactics of intimidation of political opponents is allowed to prevail. He condemned “the shabby treatment meted out to Igbo patriots including former Vice President Alex Ekwueme, former Senate President Ken Nnamani, former Governors Chief Achike Udenwa and Dr. Sam Egwu, Prof ABC Nwosu, Chief Dubem Onyia and Senator Ben Obi, among others that compelled them to hold their conference in the open air under the sweltering sun.” he said the harassment of dissenting voices is inconsistent with the 1999 Constitution. He said it is incredible that respected and law abiding public figures like former Vice President Ekwueme should be subjected to this level of public humiliation and denied their freedom to meet and associate. http://www.dailytrust.dailytrust.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3572:police-stop-igbo-political-forums-meeting&catid=2:lead-stories&Itemid=8 |

Former Head of State Muhammadu Buhari The Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) 11-year rule of Nigeria and its management of the nation’s resources has been a misfortune and a calamity which should be brought to an end in next year’s elections, leader of the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) Gen. Muhammadu Buhari said in Abuja at the weekend. Buhari, who was addressing supporters from the 36 states and Abuja at a National Consultative Forum, said the revenue that accrued to Nigeria from amalgamation in 1914 up until 1999 was far less than the revenue receipt since 1999. The PDP government however squandered all of it with nothing to show, he said. General Buhari said the degree of executive theft unleashed on this country in the 11 years of PDP rule, when analysed, was so mindboggling that Nigerians should never have the misfortune of having the party foisted on them again in 2011. He said, “The records provided by former Minister of Finance, Okonjo Iweala, indicated that the amount of money Nigeria realized between 1914 and 1998 was not up to the revenue realized by PDP government between 1999 and 2010.” On the 50th Independence Anniversary, which is four days away, the CPC presidential hopeful said it is a shame that Nigeria was nowhere near her contemporaries with whom it started the independence journey 50 years ago, and with resources that could be compared to those of China, Malaysia, former Soviet Union, and India. He said, “50 years ago, we started like Malaysia, Brazil, China and co. Today in terms of infrastructure, manufacturing and other social services, where are these countries and where are we? We used to have railway, shipping line, national air carrier and good government schools. Railway used to be a veritable means of mass transport and haulage to spare the road of articulated vehicles. All these are gone, and this is in spite of growing huge resources which were never available before. With all the resources we can boast of, cholera is still part of the diseases we are trying to fight.” He regretted that some political gladiators were still adopting ‘soldier tactics’ that they will rather die than see a new leadership emerge, especially from the progressives’ camp, saying “2011 is pregnant, we hope there will be no abortion.” He however said that in spite of the threats of do or die, “operation totality” or capture among others, his determination and commitment to a new Nigeria remain unshaken. He promised that his party will reverse the ugly trend bedevilling the country and said any party that is not disciplined cannot instil discipline and change things when it gets to power. Cautioning party stalwarts against running afoul of the law, he said, “We don’t want any of our members to be caught with gun or any metal object during election or any other time. Do everything with honour. This is why I left ANPP, they gave me the ticket to run for presidency two times, they were ready to give me the third time, but I had to quit. “We have to work hard and dislodge the thieves; we will stop the executive theft when we get to power. The textile industries used to employ hundreds of thousands of workers, but today most of the factories have locked up. What has happened? Sheer indiscipline and corruption. We will revamp the railway system, bring back infrastructure and generate employment.” In his address of welcome, CPC National Chairman Senator Rufai Hanga said the party is sending a clear message that a new order is coming and that Nigerians should be prepared for a change in 2011. He said CPC was the new of hope of the common man and it was prepared to stop the on-going political hara-kiri and make life more meaningful to the people. Hundreds of delegates from all over the country attended the consultative forum. |

@ medjai Thank you for the response. but going by your response if i were contries like belgium we will just join concacaf and qualify easily to the world cup. |
To the best of my geography knowledge Israel is in the middle east but am surprise that instead of playing the Asian cup they are playing in UEFA, Please Educate me or is it just politics? |
I wonder for nairaland commentators, in this civilized world someone contesting for presidency of this great nation is asking for presidential debate what happen in all civilized democracy all of you a busy abusing him. For goodness sake what is wrong about debate or is it because the candidate you support cannot withstand him. Please let be objective and look at every issue according to its merit. N.B. Am not Atiku supporter. |
The truth of the matter is that the north is the stabilizing factor in present nigeria. Deep down our minds we know that the Igbo prefers the Hausa than Yoruba, Yoruba prefers Hausa than Igbo and the other southern minority will also prefer a Hausa man than other southerners. From the above analysis if the north should secede the south will be melting pot of conflict among themselves. |
For the last three years, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) under Farida Waziri has been virtually redundant. All of a sudden, with the next general elections around the corner, it came to life and started investigating some state governors for allegedly misappropriating billions of naira. In this analysis the anti-graft body’s biggest task now is convincing the public that the investigations are not politically motivated, as was the case in the Obasanjo era. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, under Madam Farida Waziri has not been as assertive in its fight against corruption as it was under Nuhu Ribadu. However, in recent times, it is becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish between cases of financial crimes and those that are politically motivated. It is hard to imagine Waziri suddenly finding interest in investigating state governors for graft without the consent, or even the directives, of President Goodluck Jonathan. The fate of Jonathan’s presidential ambition no doubt lies in the hands of the governors the commission is investigating. If there is one thing Jonathan has learnt from Obasanjo, the president’s opponents say it appears to be how to deny his opponents the space to contest in a fair and credible election without the fear of intimidation, harassment and persecution. Events leading to the 2007 presidential and governorship elections were not only the commission’s most controversial moments but seen as the anti-graft’s era of highest number of arrests within a short space of time. It was also the time, more than any other, that Nuhu Ribadu and Olusegun Obasanjo were accused of using the commission to settle political scores or to intimidate aspiring politicians out the presidential race. There is a long list of politicians who were arrested by the commission just because they were not in Obasanjo’s good book. First, there were those (like Buba Marwa) who many felt were in the way of Obasanjo’s third term agenda. Afterwards, when Obasanjo had lost all hope of getting a third term, he turned on the governors who were not on his side or against his preferred candidates at both the presidential and governorship elections. Obasanjo is said to have played a big role in how Ribadu lost credibility and how Late President Yar’Adua felt he could do without him. He got the commission to turn the life of the then Governor of Adamawa State, Boni Haruna into hell. Obasanjo had used the commission to arrest lawmakers from Bayelsa State and coerced them into impeaching the state governor, Dipreye Alamieyeseigha. By the time of the elections, Obasanjo had perfected the art of coercion. EFCC first arrested Abba Alero, the younger brother of the Kebbi State Governor, Adamu Alero, who also happened to be the brain behind many of the governor’s political strategies. The former governor was finally forced to negotiate with Obasanjo and his brother was not released until he agreed to decamp to the PDP from ANPP and support Obasanjo’s chosen presidential candidate. He used a different tactic in Sokoto, waiting until one week before the election to arrest Umarun Kwabo, Attahiru Bafarawa’s strongman. That one arrest was enough to put Bafarawa’s political camp in disarray, paving the way for the PDP candidate to win the governorship election instead of the DPP candidate, Maigari Dingyadi, that Bafarawa wanted to succeed him. EFCC was also used to intimidate some presidential aspirants ahead of the 2007 polls. Ribadu arrested and detained Ibrahim Babangida’s son for several hours as a way of forcing IBB out of the race. Peter Odili was also running a successful campaign when, on the day of the primaries, Ribadu brought out an indicting report against him to force him to step down. Obasanjo, who was very close to Odili, apparently could not look the Rivers State Governor to his face and tell him droop out from the race; so he sent Ribadu. At the end of the day, Obasanjo presided over the worst ever election in the country’s history, bringing consequences that the nation is still paying for. The election was condemned by the European Union, other international and local observers; and when Yar’Adua was finally inaugurated, he had a problem of legitimacy. U S President, Barack Obama, even went as far as boycotting Nigeria in his first trip to Africa and instead going to Ghana and praising it as a model for democracy. Now, with recent interest of the EFCC on certain state governors, President Goodluck Jonathan is seen as wanting to use the anti-graft body to settle political scores with his adversaries, either because they believe in the principle of zoning or he just doesn’t get along with them. Either by accident or by design, almost all the state governors that EFCC is now investigating are in support of the presidency remaining in the North. Those that are not in support of zoning are known to have unsettled issues with Jonathan or his wife. For instance, after Governor Sule Lamido of Jigawa State spoke in favour of zoning, EFCC stormed Dutse the state capital and arrested key officials in Lamido administration. But the governor was not deterred. At any given time, he can take you down memory lane and relate what he has done for democracy in Nigeria, the price he has paid and those that have worked on the opposite side. He has seen it all - persecution, imprisonment and, also, the rewards for what he believes to be right. Lamido was one of very few Northern politicians who openly campaigned against Gen Sani Abacha. He paid for it by spending a few years behind bars. Lamido could have easily campaigned for Abacha’s self-succession bid and, like other AGIP’s, be on the side the sitting government. Lamido who always claims to be on the side of the people or at least on the side of what he believes to be right. At all times, his stand on political issues was the most popularly held views and he has never been afraid to voice them even at his detriment. His view on zoning is regarded as what seems to have set the EFCC after him. Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State is not new to persecution either. Unlike Lamido, he has not been persecuted for his views but for his success. He has had to flee the country in fear of his life when he was contesting his replacement as the PDP governorship candidate in the 2007 election by Obasanjo. People like Amaechi say President Jonathan does not know what it is like to fight and make sacrifices for democracy. He is just lucky to be a beneficiary of the sweat of those that have fought tooth and nail for it; yet, he wants to pay them back by persecuting them and at the same time denying the nation the opportunity of free, fair and credible elections. Like Obasanjo, he is beginning to turn the EFCC into his personal tool of getting his party’s endorsement, regardless of the consequences. For the last 3 years, EFCC, under Farida Waziri, has been virtually redundant. All of a sudden, with the next general election around the corner, it came to life and started investigating state governments for allegedly misappropriating billions of naira. Its biggest task now is convincing the public that the investigations are not politically motivated. Today, suspicion is not only on the motives of the commission to investigate cases with political under tones but stories have been going round about corruption in the commission itself. Within the commission, officers who insist on justice are reported to have been getting threats from their colleagues or superiors. If these allegations can be talked about publicly, it is hard to imagine what really goes on at the commission. by SHUAIB SHUAIB |
