The Academic Staff Union of University (ASUU) has dismissed report going round the media, especially social media platforms that it held of the union’s National Exectuve Council to discuss the possibility of calling off the strike. Chairman of the University of Ibadan branch of the union, Dr. Olusegun Ajiboye, said the stories of the meeting in Kano are rumours. He said in an interview monitored on Diamond FM, University of Ibadan, that there was no meeting scheduled by the union for Saturday as they were still observing seven days of mourning in honour of the late former national chairman of the union, Festus Iyayi. The union was last week scheduled the meeting of its National Executive Council to hold in Kano, where they were expected to take a final decision on whether to continue with their strike or accept the FG’s offer, but cancelled it when one of their colleague and a former president of the union was killed in a car crash by the convoy of the Governor of Kogi state. No new date has been fixed for the cancelled meeting, thus the fate of university students whoi have stayed at home for over four months remains unknown. http://abusidiqu.com/ASUU-denies-report-holding-nec-meeting-kano-strike-continues/ |

There is a new twist to the controversy surrounding the construction of the Lekki-Ikoyi Suspension Bridge as the Lagos State Government has told a Federal High Court in Lagos that it paid N10m to the Federal Government to get the FG approval. The state government stated this in a counter- affidavit dated November 13, 2013, in response to an earlier denial by the National Inland Waterways Authority that its permission had not been obtained before the bridge was constructed. The Federal Government had through the Attorney-General of the Federation and the NIWA, said its permission was not obtained for the construction of the bridge. Both NIWA and the AGF had said with the construction of the bridge, the state government had encroached into the Lekki-Ikoyi Lagoon, which it claimed was under NIWA’s exclusive authority. Their counsel, Mrs. Queen Ubah, maintained that the provisions of NIWA Act 2004, gave the body the exclusive authority over “navigable waterways, inland waterways, river ports, including the Lagos and Lekki Lagoon”, upon which the bridge was constructed. The Federal Government stated these in its own counter-affidavit in the suit instituted by a rights lawyer, Mr. Ebun Olu-Adegboruwa, who is challenging the propriety and the imposition of tolls on the users of the bridge. But the state government, in its reply, insisted that NIWA gave it an approval for the construction of the bridge after paying the required fee. http://www.punchng.com/news/lekki-ikoyi-bridge-fg-got-n10m-lagos-tells-court/ |

FOUR people were feared killed on Monday when members of the Movement for the Actualisation of the Sovereign State of Biafra clashed with a joint team of security men in Onitsha, Anambra State. But while MASSOB claimed that the clash was an attack on its members because of the decision of the group to withdraw their support for the All Progressives Grand Alliance, the police declined comments on the incident. The Anambra State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Emeka Chukwuemeka, said he had not been officially briefed. Director of Information of MASSOB, Mr. Uchenna Madu, who said he was speaking on behalf of the leader of MASSOB, Chief Ralph Uwazuruike, said the incident occurred in the early hours of the day and that the security team, made up of army, police and State Security Services personnel, stormed the MASSOB headquarters along Onitsha-Owerri Road and allegedly opened fire on the members. He said that at the end of the attack, four persons were felled while about 80 persons were injured. He said those injured during the incident were denied medical attention because they could not produce police medical permit. Madu also said that about 18 vehicles belonging to MASSOB members and traders at the Mgbuka-Obosi, Old Motor Spare Parts Obosi, and 137 motorcycles belonging to MASSOB members were burnt and cash sum of N920, 000 was taken by the security agents. The MASSOB spokesman also said 37 traders in the Old Motor Spare Parts, Mgbuka, sustained bullet wounds and were rushed to various hospitals for medical attention. He alleged that the clampdown on their members was masterminded by the state government which he accused of not being comfortable with members of the group’s resolve to announce their preferred candidate ahead of Saturday governorship election. Madu said, “This devilish act of cowardice meted on MASSOB was not unconnected with our refusal to allow our name to be used by some desperate politicians who wanted to score cheap political goal, using our platform. “We had issued a statement distancing ourselves from supporting APGA and its candidate ahead of the governorship election in the state. We are very quite aware that the stand we took did not go down well with some highly placed persons in the state, hence, the attack was to disorganise us and browbeat us to submission. “We hold Peter Obi responsible for the killings. This reminds us about the 2006 shoot-on-sight order by Governor Peter Obi who massacred about 2,000 MASSOB members. “We shall arrest him and pay him back in his own coin in our own way immediately he steps down as the governor because his recent action of killing MASSOB members will heavily affect APGA chances of winning this election.” The Senior Special Assistant to Obi on Media and Publicity, Mr. Valentine Obienyem, who said he was not yet aware of the incident, wondered why MASSOB was attributing it to the governor. “Why are they calling the name of the governor?” he asked. http://www.punchng.com/news/four-killed-in-massob-security-clash/ |

Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State has urged Roman Catholics in the state to sustain the grip of their control on the politics of the state by ensuring that the next governor of the state remained a Catholic. Speaking on Friday on behalf of the governor at the inauguration of the Widows and Less Privileged Members Foundation at the Holy Trinity Basilica, Onitsha, the Commissioner for Works, Mr. Callistus Ilozumba, said Roman Catholics must use the November 16 governorship election in the state to make a point that the church had come to be relevant in the politics of the state. He recalled that the late Catholic Archbishop of Onitsha, the Most Rev. Albert Obiefuna, had championed the involvement of knights of the church to take charge of the politics of the state, saying that the effort paid off when Obi was elected governor in 2003. He said the first beneficiary of that effort would have been Prof. Alphonsus Nwosu, who was dropped as the governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party for Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju in 1998. He said that it was after that the late archbishop advised on the need to have an alternative platform, and that came with the formation of APGA. He said it was not an accident that the first national chairman of the party, Chief Chekwas Okorie, Obi, the current national chairman, Chief Victor Umeh, and others are Catholics. Ilozumba recalled that when Obi joined the race in 2003, both Knights of St. John, St. Mulumba and the Laity Council teamed up to support him in the election which he won. He reminded knights of St. John International that they had the capacity to change the situation in the state as predicted by Obiefuna. http://www.punchng.com/news/anambra-obi-campaigns-for-catholic-governor |

The governorship ambition of the All Progressive Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate in the November 16 gubernatorial election in Anambra state, Mr Willie Obiano hangs in the balance as evidence of his double registration surface. Though an Anambra High Court had on November 5, 2013 dismissed the petition brought before Justice D. O. C. Amaechina pleading the court to disqualify the gubernatorial hopeful from standing election for allegedly possessing double voter’s cards, latest revelation indicates that the judgment may have been handed in error. Following speculations that the defendant who hails from Aguleri in Anambra North Senatorial District may have registered twice in readiness for the coming elections, the plaintiff, Chuma Tony Oli, had dragged Mr. Obiano and APGA to court, pleading for his disqualification from the race. READ: Bursted: APGA Candidate in Anambra Guber Election, Willie Obiano Possesses Two Voters’ Card But Justice Amaechina threw out the case for lack of merit and upheld that Chief Obiano, the 1 defendant had “fulfilled the conditions set out for qualification to the office of the Governor of a state as provided by section 117 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , 1999 as amended. The Judge further emphasized that the APGA candidate does not come within the ambit of any of the disqualifying conditions set out in section 182 of the 199 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. However new information shows conclusive evidence of Willie Obiano’s double registration. Although the Willie Obiano campaign team have consistently denied that Willie Obiano had in double registration, the latest information shows that Obiano on August 21, 2013 at 2:2:18pm, was issued one voters card, VIN = 90F5B12B88377091121. Two weeks later, on September 3, 2013, Willie Obiano was issued another voters card, VIN = 90F5B15E7D378200332. For both voters cards, he used the same address – No 1 Chief Willie Obiano Street, Otuocha. http://abusidiqu.com/?p=21767&utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=evidence-suggesting-willie-obiano-posseses-double-voters-register-surfaces-document-attached

Obiano is a fraudster and shud be disqualified from the Race. |
The allegation that the APGA candidate registered twice for d voters card has been proven to be true by this photo Evidence. The APGA candidate denied ever committing such act Bt it is obvious from d photo evidence that, the VIN number above his personal information are different from each other. Another Interesting thing is that both cards, were registered in 2013.

National Chairman of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chief Victor Umeh, was recently reinstated by the Court of Appeal sitting in Enugu State. In this interview with Christopher Isiguzo, he shared his views on the crisis in the party. Excerpts: Chief Okwu emerged APGA national chairman at the convention held in Awka the same day you were reinstated by the appellate court. But he has described the ruling as an exercise in futility. Is that correct? This is why Nigerians should see how low APGA is being dragged to. Somebody who calls himself a lawyer is describing the judgment of a Court of Appeal as futile. The Court agreed that a declarative judgment cannot be stayed because there is nothing to stay. A declarative judgment is not enforceable; it doesn’t contain any consequential order. You just declare that this thing is so. You just stop there. You don’t begin to compel anybody to take steps to do anything. Maxi Okwu should have known this as a lawyer. The Court of Appeal ruling was perfectly in order and what the Court of Appeal did was to stay the order made against me as a consequence of the declarative decisions. The High Court was wrong. It cannot do that. So, if you want to go and ask for a declaration from a court, you cannot ask the court that following this, that this thing should be done. And the Court of Appeal was very emphatic on that. Again, the grounds for staying the decision of the Enugu State High Court bothered on jurisdiction. The Court of Appeal said that consistently, from the trial court, I raised the issue of jurisdiction. The court restated my position in the course of the proceedings at the trial court that it had no jurisdiction. The major grounds of my appeal bordered on jurisdiction. So, the Court of Appeal wouldn't have allowed that judgment to continue to operate or for anybody to use it if the appeal is before me. If the Court of Appeal agrees that the trial Court had no jurisdiction ab initio, all these things they have done, relying on the Enugu State High Court Judgment had been done in vain. So, what do you do now that Okwu still parades himself as Chairman? Now, a man who betrayed the course of our party along with his former boss, Chekwas Okorie, Maxi Okwu, has now been brought into APGA to begin to project APGA as an unserious organisation. We will never accept this. Looking at the short stint he has had in APGA, since he has been mentioned in APGA from 16th of February 2013 till date, all the activities in the purported faction they are leading have been enmeshed in fraud. There is nothing they have done that is not coated with fraud. They started with an illegal national caucus that has no constitutional power to elect or appoint interim officials for APGA. That was where Maxi Okwu first emerged and he knew that it was wrong under the provisions of the APGA constitution. He participated in it and emerged as interim national chairman. Knowing that his emergence was unconstitutional and unlawful, there was no correspondence between INEC and Maxi Okwu during that period and today were he claimed to be anything. Instead, he created non-existing things in the name of APGA and on the pages of newspapers and finally deceived INEC into attending their illegal convention that was conducted by 1.am on the 8th of April, 2013. On the 9th of March at Awka, they were purported to have held a meeting of Forum of State Chairmen of APGA. There is no such meeting under the APGA constitution where you have forum of chairmen/ National Executive Council meeting. Everything about that meeting was shrouded in secrecy. No names of people who attended that purported meeting were ever published. They hid the list of people who attended that meeting from the Nigerian public. Instead, they continued to launder propaganda that 36 state chairmen attended the meeting. I suspected foul-play and wrote the Independent National Electoral Commission and requested for a certified true copy of list of those who attended that meeting including the notices they gave them because they were always publishing the outcome of their Meetings without disclosing the identities of those who attended in the Newspapers. All these things we requested from INEC, we were not obliged with the certified true copy of people who attended that meeting. On Friday, the 5th of April, it was now announced through breaking news on telephones that INEC has acceded to the request of Governor Obi’s faction to convene a convention of APGA on the 8th of April and they will be attending it. INEC never said they will attend or monitor the convention until the 5th, Friday. That was when the meeting was allegedly held and they agreed to send monitors to that convention. Once, I got that, I sent my personal assistant to INEC immediately, to go and obtain the certified true copy of the people who issued that notice to INEC. And on that day, it was released to him. And when we went through that list, it was discovered that 29 people signed the notice of the congresses and convention to INEC, claiming to be state chairmen of APGA. On perusal of names printed on that attendance sheet, 24 members out of 29 were never APGA chairmen anywhere in Nigeria, up till that moment. All these things were shrouded in fraud and by the time we get to the Nigerian public with everything, a lot of heads will roll. A lot of people will go to jail. The person who is claiming today that he is APGA chairman will go to prison. And I am telling you that it is going to happen because we cannot allow this kind of thing to continue to happen in Nigeria. So, on the illegal convention that they have conducted, the decision of the Court of Appeal will sweep everything away. Why are you confident that the final decision of the appellate court will go your way? Now, on the authorities of Obi versus INEC, when Obi sued INEC on tenure interpretation, INEC conducted governorship election in Anambra State, declared Andy Uba winner; Andy Uba was sworn in. But when we got to the Supreme Court, the decision of the Supreme Court was that for the fact that the Appeal was pending, INEC ought not to have conducted that election. Therefore, Andy Uba was asked to vacate office when they found appeal of tenure interpretation of Obi meritorious. That was what swept Andy Uba away. Otherwise, since INEC had conducted the election and Andy Uba was sworn in, Obi would have gone home. So, how can Maxi as a lawyer continue to argue that once an act has been completed, the Court can no longer do anything about it? And the Court of Appeal said it would not allow anybody to foist a fait accompli on it because the Appeal was before it. So, the decision of the Court of Appeal was right in all respects, both in points of law and in accordance with common sense. As soon as the copy of the ruling is out, we will pursue them. INEC will also pursue them for misrepresentation. If they claimed that INEC monitored their convention, its attendance does not make the convention valid. In his acceptance speech, Okwu referred to Ojukwu as an extremist and that his own APGA would not toe Ojukwu's extremist posture. Do you agree? That is the embarrassment Governor Peter Obi has brought to APGA. Okwu never liked Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu from the beginning. He has always been very critical of him, even during his first stint in APGA before he was expelled with Chekwas Okorie. I was not surprised that Obi had given him the opportunity to begin to discredit the great work Ojukwu did for Igbo people and for Nigeria in his life time. For Maxi to come out now to describe our great respected leader, both in Nigeria and internationally as an extremist, it goes to show you the level of destruction that he is planning for APGA. Ojukwu was never an extremist. Ojukwu was a man who stood very strongly for justice, a man who stood very strongly against injustice, a man who stood against oppression of people, a man who stood for equity and fairness, a man who stood for rule of law and a man who stood for democracy. It is an abomination for anybody who claims to be standing on the platform of APGA to describe Ojukwu’s virtues as extremist. This is blasphemy of the highest proportion and those of us who worked with Ojukwu as our leader in APGA, those he left APGA in their hands, will not stand by and watch a man who does not have any political character or vision begin to describe Ojukwu in such denigrating words. What’s your take on the Governor’s involvement in all these? As for Obi’s collusion and funding of these activities to destroy APGA, I am not surprised because Ojukwu foretold these things Obi is doing today. When we got Obi into office in 2006, the first thing he did was to abandon Ojukwu and ran to Obasanjo. He was always at the Villa during their early morning prayers. On the directive of Obasanjo, Obi gave a shoot at sight order against MASSOB members in Anambra State. So many people were killed in the process. This angered Ojukwu and all of us a great deal and when they impeached him, Ojukwu told me that Peter Obi will never be anything in APGA anymore. I took Obi to Ojukwu to beg him severally before he finally agreed. http://www.thisdaylive.com/articles/ojukwu-foretold-obi-s-betrayal-of-apga-says-umeh/145282/ |

Niger Delta most wanted criminal and kidnap kingpin, Kelvin Ibruvwe, was on Wednesday morning captured by operatives of the State Security Services (SSS) in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. The notorious kidnap suspect was nabbed seven days after he issued a 60-day ultimatum to the Federal Government to develop Urhobo areas of Delta State in order to avert unprecedented attack on oil facility. A special squad deployed from SSS Headquarters, Abuja and local security operatives in Delta State traced him to a hotel where he was arrested at about 3am. Meanwhile, an intense gunfight is raging between his supporters and security operatives in Kokori, his hometown at the time of this report. It was gathered that youths armed with sophisticated weapons opened fire on troops sent to secure the town. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/delta-most-wanted-kidnapper-arrested/ |

BY ENYIM ENYIM ONITSHA—Labour Party in Anambra State, yesterday, joined the fray of crisis-ridden political parties in the state as a factional governorship candidate, Mr. Peter Nwosu, headed for the court claiming he was the authentic flag bearer of the party. This is coming barely two weeks after the national leadership of the party officially handed over the party flag to Dr. Ifeanyi Ubah as its governorship candidate for the November 16 governorship election in the state. Speaking with Vanguard, Nwosu said he had to go to court to get his ticket to contest the election because the national leadership of the party, under Mr. Dan Nwanyanwu, compromised the party primary election, and did not allow for a level playing ground for the aspirants. Nwosu, who claimed to be one of the founding members of LP in 2000, said he headed to court to ensure that justice was done in the controversy as to who was the authentic candidate for LP. He said: ”Anybody can say anything that he likes. If anybody says that I am not a member of the party. The authentic executive in the state are all with me. So, the court will decide who is the candidate of the party.” www.vanguardngr.com/2013/09/crisis-rocks-anambra-lp/ |
kokoA: Am I the only one that saw "NECO" as the LP guy's highest qualification? I think INEC made a mistake there.no mistake dat was what he declared.... |
The The Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) today released the names of 23 governorship candidates for the Anamabra polls, for the people of Anambra to begin the process of choosing candidates of their choice in the fourth coming November 16 election. INEC says it has made use of the court orders and the form submitted by parties to compile the names on its candidates list. For APGA and pdp which had issues with its candidates, INEC has published Mr Nicholas Ukachukwu as the pdp candidate and Mr. Willie Obiano is for APGA. While Mr. Ifeanyi Uba is for Labour Party and Mr. Chris Ngige is for the APC. INEC says the names on the list are the people permitted to stage campaigns for the election. The battle to resolve the pdp candidate has been on for several weeks, a tough contest between Mr. Tony Nwoye and senator Andy Uba, but both men didn’t make INEC’s list . The INEC however warned that only those on the list published by it are allowed to conduct electioneering campaigns, and any violation of this rule amounts to an electoral offence and security agencies are urged to intervene as such.
