Ekiti State Governor, Mr. Ayodele Fayose has
said that he was not surprised by the
comment from the President of the World
Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim that President
Muhammadu Buhari directed specifically that
the World Bank should shift its focus to the northern region of Nigeria, maintaining that
“the President has never hidden the fact
that he is a sectional leader and painfully,
because of his nepotism, religious bigotry
and favouritism, Nigeria is now more divided
than ever before, with the unity of the country being threatened.”

The governor, who spoke through his Special
Assistant on Public Communications and New
Media, Lere Olayinka, asked; “Is the
comment from the World Bank President
different from the 97 percent/5 percent
formula of President Buhari?”

He said; “When a President open his mouth
and say that constituencies that gave him
97% votes cannot in all honesty be treated,
on some issues, with constituencies that gave
him 5% votes, lovers of unity in the country
should have raised the alarm and alerted the world of the danger of having a nepotistic
president, and I warned then but other
Nigerians that should have raised their voice,
kept mute.” President of the World Bank Group
reportedly said, “You know, in my very
first meeting with President Buhari, he said
specifically that he would like us to shift our
focus to the northern region of Nigeria and
we’ve done that. Now, it has been very difficult. The work there has been very
difficult.” Governor Fayose, in his reaction said; “Once
again, the fact that President Mohammadu
Buhari is an ethnic champion, a religious bigot
and the number one promoter of disunity in
Nigeria was brought to the fore by the
President of the World Bank Group, Jim Yong Kim. “Nigerians should be reminded that on
August 15, 2015, less than three months in
Buhari’s government, I raised the alarm
that he (Buhari) was operating as a president
of the Northern Nigeria only. Then, I
described steps taken by the president since May 29, 2015 as tainted in ethnic and tribal
colouration and inimical to the unity of
Nigeria. “I also descried President Buhari’s
Nothernisation of Nigeria and said that the
appointments made by the President negated
the principle of federal character. Then, we
were told that the President made the
appointments on merit and I asked whether there were no competent people in the All
Progressives Congress (APC) in the Southern
part of Nigeria. “Now, with the President of the World Bank
Group, Jim Yong Kim, telling the world that
President Buhari gave specific instruction that
the bank should shift its developmental
efforts to the North, is anyone still in doubt
as to the fact that President Buhari does not see himself as the President of the entire
country, Nigeria?” While reminding Nigerians of his earlier
warnings that Buhari was a sectional leader,
Governor Fayose said; “Those politicians,
who painted the picture of a changed
President Buhari to Nigerians before the 2015
presidential election, should remember that I warned that he (Buhari) can never change
from an ethnic champion to a nationalist. “As a Military Head of State, Buhari
cancelled the Lagos Metroline Project at a loss
of over $78 million (then) to the Lagos tax
payers. For terminating the contract, $500
million, which was almost enough to
complete the project, was paid as fine to the foreign company handling the project. “Would Buhari have stopped that project
that would have resolved the transportation
nightmare Lagosians are facing today, if it
were to be in Kano? “When Fulani herdsmen were killing
Nigerians in the South and North-Central
states of Benue and Plateau, President Buhari,
who is the Patron of Miyetti Allah Cattle
Breaders Association simply kept mute. Not
even the killing of over 1,000 Agatus in Benue State got the attention of the President. “The same President Buhari, who led a
delegation of Arewa leaders to Ibadan on
October 13, 2000, to confront the then
Governor of Oyo State, Late Alhaji Lam
Adesina over alleged killing of Fulani
Herdsmen in Saki, Oke Ogun Area of the state, has never raised his voice against the
killings, raping and destruction of farmlands
by Fulani herdsmen.” Describing President Buhari as the number
one threat to the unity of Nigeria, the
governor said; “Painfully, because of
President Buhari’s nepotism, religious
bigotry and favouritism Nigeria is now more
divided than ever before, with the unity of the country being threatened. “The father figure of this country is
President Buhari and if his language does not
represent unity, there will be agitations like
we are witnessing now. “I therefore reiterate my commitment to
the call for full and total restructuring of
Nigeria through dialogue and negotiation. “It is my position that for Nigeria to move
forward and in unity; there must be no
sectionalism, there must be no oppression
and there must be justice and equity. All
these cannot be guaranteed by President
Buhari as he has continually demonstrated that he is a President for the Northern part of
Nigeria only.” The governor promised to rule Nigeria with
fairness when he becomes President, saying;
“Unlike President Buhari, I am a complete
detribalized Nigerian, who treats all the
people of Nigeria equally, not minding tribe
and religion. Therefore, my presidency will resolve all issues threatening the unity of
Nigeria.”

…say enemies deploy drug abuse as
political weapons to smear the north …allege wicked traders still
infiltrating North with counterfeit
drugs despite red flags … demand closure of open drug
markets in 19 northern states By Soni Daniel, Northern Region Editor In a rare confession, the Coalition of Northern
Groups, yesterday, raised the alarm that the
North had become the highest consumer of
hard and substandard drugs capable of
causing untold social, economic and political
crisis to the region

The startling revelation is contained in a mail
released by the Spokesman for the CNG,
Abdul-Azeez Suleiman, entitled: “Persistent
proliferation of Northern Pharmaceutical
Markets with Drugs of Abuse” and made
available to Saturday Vanguard. Although the group did not name those
responsible for flooding the North with hard
and fake drugs, the Spokesman, accused the
perpetrators of using hard and counterfeit
drugs as a political weapon to smear the
North. The CNG lamented that the persistent flooding
of the region with fake and hard drugs had
continued despite its demand as contained in
its ‘Kaduna Declaration’ that certain
aspects of drug distribution in the north be
reviewed by the respective states. For this reason, the CNG called for immediate
closure of all open drug markets in the North,
the empanelling of task forces to deal with
the dealers of fake and hard drugs and the
revocation of the land titles of the
masterminds across the region. The group said, “Worried by the recent
disturbing revelation by the Senate of the
Federal Republic that not less than three
million bottles of codeine are consumed daily
in Kano alone, the Coalition of Northern
Groups CNG, wishes to remind the 19 northern governors of its demand for the
total closure of all the open drug markets
operating in Northern Nigeria. “The expectation was that by now, at least
the few governors with the welfare of their
people at heart would have commenced the
closure of these dangerous drug markets and
the immediate implementation of the
National Drug Distribution Guidelines (NDDG) as contained in the 2nd Edition 2012
developed by the Federal Ministry of Health
which did not include the Co-ordinated
Wholesale Centres (CWC) which is the
guideline that provides a distribution channel
in consonance with the national drug policy and the implementation of which is
empowered by the Constitution of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria. “It is also expected that all the states in
northern Nigeria should by now have
commenced the establishment and
strengthening of the state task force on
counterfeit, fake drugs and unwholesome
processed foods, revoking all land titles where drugs are being sold and reviewing
the laws to provide stiff penalties for
offenders. This should be followed up by the
implementation of health insurance scheme
at all levels and making the drugs available
at the health centres in northern Nigeria to
help eliminate nefarious activities. “CNG is worried that months after it gave
this as one of the conditions for the review of
some aspects of the Kaduna Declaration, the
infiltration of northern pharmaceutical
markets with fake, substandard, adulterated
and hard drugs by some wicked traders persists. “Recall that CNG had pointed out that the
existence of open drug markets, like that of
Sabon Gari, in Kano, provides a convenient
outlet for the sales of drugs of abuse, stolen
drugs, and drugs banned internationally or
donated to countries or procured by the government for citizens but stolen (case of
Azithromycin donated to Niger Republic). “Over N4 billion worth of fake, substandard
and drugs of abuse was confiscated and
destroyed by regulatory agencies in Kano
within three years from April, 2012 to April,
2015.This was from only one state out of the
States in Northern Nigeria. “We are concerned that sales of fake,
substandard and drugs of abuse have health,
political, economic and security implications
as follows and should be discontinued without
further delay. “We are worried that while the north is the
largest consumer of such products, its
economic involvement is less than five
percent of the total market value with the
rest hijacked and monopolized by people
from the other sections of the country,” CNG said.

Chad has withdrawn hundreds of troops from neighbouring Niger, where they were helping local forces fight Boko Haram Islamist
militants, humanitarian sources and officials said. The pull-out over the past two weeks could weaken a region-wide struggle against the militants who have killed tens of thousands of people, forced many more to flee and triggered a humanitarian crisis. There was no immediate explanation or comment from defence officials in Chad. The move came a month after the vast central African country complained about an unexpected U.S. travel ban imposed on its nationals. Chad warned at the time the order could affect its security commitments, which include its involvement in the U.S.-backed fight against Boko Haram. Residents said the withdrawal had already had an impact on Niger’s Diffa region, which has seen a string of attacks by Boko Haram militants crossing over from their base in neighbouring Nigeria. Ibrahim Arimi from the border village of Bosso said banditry had increased since the Chadian troops started leaving and he had been temporarily moved to another village for safety. Diffa parliamentarian Lamido Moumouni said residents had started complaining

“They have come to rely on the forces so there is a perception that security will be lacking,” he said by telephone. At its peak in 2016 after an attack in Bosso, Chad had 2,000 troops in Niger to help counter Boko Haram although security sources said this has fallen since. Boko Haram has attacked Chad, Niger and Cameroon from its base in northeast Nigeria. Its eight-year bid to carve out an Islamist caliphate has driven millions from their homes, no fewer than 200,000 of them are now based in Diffa, with little prospect of returning home. Thousands of them are camped alongside an unfinished highway in the middle of a barren savannah with few resources. Chad’s soldiers also occupy front-line positions in a peacekeeping force in northern Mali. Analysts say falling oil revenues after the price crash in 2014 has also sapped Chad’s appetite for expensive regional security commitments.

ok

By Nwafor Sunday The National coordinator APGA Media
Warriors Forum, Evang Chinedu Obigwe, has
condemned the well orchestrated blackmail
that trailed the Nigerian Army medical
outreach in Ozubulu, adding that the quick
response of Governor Willie Obiano’s led administration and the professional
treatment used to saturate the situation was
commendable.

In a press release he made available to
newsmen, Obigwe blamed the opposition
parties for the false alarm that created panic
in the minds of the people over the military
medical outreach exercise. His words “Anambra opposition parties are
only interested in using the security agents to
rig the forthcoming November 18th election
hence the reason why they don’t want
them to be seen as harmless friends of the
people”, he said. Recall that Nigerian Soldiers were accused of
forcefully injecting monkey pox to pupils in
various schools in the bid to exercising their
medical responsibilities of Operation Python
Dance 11. An allegation well disproved and
denied by the Nigerian Army yesterday. However, Obigwe commended the swift
response of Governor Obiano’s
administration that helped to douse the
tension in the State, added that the Governor
lived up to the expectations of the people of
the State with his professional actions. Obigwe also said that the medical outreach
initiated by the military in fulfillment of their
social responsibility deserves
commendations. He called for thorough investigation to
unmask those behind the misinformation that
the military medical outreach exercise was
to spread the dreaded monkey pox disease
in the State which hitherto had claimed the
lives of two pupils from the exercise. Speaking further Obigwe said, “Fishing the
culprits out and prosecuting them before the
law Court will serve as a deterrent to false
rumour peddlers. “In view of the forthcoming November 18th
election, it is necessary that security
measures are in place to checkmate false
alarm in the State to enable electorates to
come out en mass on the Election Day to
exercise their democratic franchise without fear of molestation”, he said. The National Coordinator APGA Media
Warriors Forum cautioned opposition parties
who might be related with the blackmail and
charged them to play good politics rather
playing irresponsible opposition games
channeled incessantly to blackmail the working administration of Governor Obiano
to score cheap political points against him. He said “what the oppositions want to
achieve with their latest blackmail was to
create fear in the minds of the electorates, so
that on Election Day the people of the State
will be afraid to resist their rigging plot.” Obigwe advised law abiding people of the
State to see security agents as their friends
saddled with the responsibility of protecting
them and not to harm them. He also advised them to get ready to troop
out en mass on November 18th to use their
voters card to appreciate the good works of
Governor Obiano in the State. He described Governor Obiano as a good
shepherd that is taking good care of his
sheep’s, adding that the people of the State
will shame his opponents coming November
18th.

Majority of the 1.8 million internally displaced persons in Borno State said they are still scared of going back to their communities months after the military liberated them from Boko Haram control, a new study by the Norwegian Refugee Council,
NRC, reveals. Tagged “Too Scared to Return”, the report says its findings “are undisputable”. “When 86 per cent of people tell us they aren’t ready to go home yet, we must listen. This cannot fall on deaf ears,” warned Jan Egeland, NRC Secretary General, who is currently visiting Nigeria. “People must decide to return of their own free will. Coercing communities to move home is a deadly recipe set to worsen the conflict.” The report comes at a time when about a dozen persons from Bama Local Government Area, one of the largest communities displaced by Boko Haram, are being held in prison custody as they face trial for leading IDPs to stage a street protest asking government to allow them return home. The NRC said it sought the opinion of 27,000 people in the research which it said was one of “the largest pieces of research carried out on the displaced population.” Mr. Egeland said “60 per cent of people who are unwilling to return home in the immediate future cite insecurity as the main reason for staying put. Attacks against civilians are on the rise, and communities feel scared.”
“The Nigerian military recently gained ground in the fight against the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram. In response, the armed group has stepped up attacks on soft targets, including markets and sites sheltering displaced people.” The report noted that many officials in Nigeria’s government are keen to see communities move back home

“While the end game is for communities to return home, the unfortunate truth is that pushing people back now will have harmful consequences,” said Mr. Egeland. “An overwhelming 85 per cent of people living in formal camps tell us they feel safer there than where they were before, despite the deplorable attacks on camps.” “Today I met a woman in Monguno town who fled her village two years ago after Boko Haram set it ablaze. She’s eager to bring her six children home, but she told me it’s too soon, that the armed group are still present.” The report based on research largely carried out in September this year also stated that some of the IDPs would still insist on remaining in the city even if the Boko Haram insurgents are totally wiped out. “Even if the security situation improves, half the displaced people interviewed say their houses were destroyed in the conflict,” the report said. “About 48 per cent of people interviewed do not have information about the current state of their homes, indicating that this figure could be much higher,” added Mr. Egeland.
The report recommends measures needed before Nigeria’s displaced can return home. “Firstly, the overall security situation must improve so communities feel safe. In addition, resources must be channelled into rebuilding homes and re-establishing livelihoods. It is important that displaced communities are involved in developing these programmes. “People need a roof over their heads and the prospect of making a living, if they are to have any chance of rebuilding their lives,” said Mr. Egeland. “We are ready to work with the government to help displaced Nigerian’s return home. But movements must be voluntary, safe and informed.” The Boko Haram insurgency, according to a recent situation report by the NRC, has left “8.5 million people (in) need (of) humanitarian assistance in Nigeria. About 80 per cent of the internally displaced are in Borno State, with over half living outside of camps in local communities. Some 220,000 people have fled to Cameroon, Niger and Chad; while 5.2 million people are food insecure in northeast Nigeria. An estimated 450,000 children are suffering from severe acute malnutrition; while 20,000 people have been killed since the start of the conflict 8 years ago. Over 4,100 cases of suspected cholera and 56 deaths have been reported.” The report says at least 57 per cent of schools in Borno State are still closed due to conflict. The challenges of managing the humanitarian conflict is still enormous because the $1 billion 2017 global aid appeal for Nigeria is only funded by 64 per cent.
