POLITICS- A state High Court sitting in Kano has restrained a faction of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP) from acting and parading themselves as leaders of the party.

Boniface Aniegbulam and eight others expelled from the party by NEC have also been barred from expelling the party’s Presidential Candidate, Sen Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso from the party.

This is even as the National Working Committee (NWC) of the party has vowed to use lawful means to retrieve party funds diverted for personal use by the expelled National Publicity Secretary of the party, Mr. Agbo Major.

One of the National Executive Committee (NEC) Members of the party, Chief Kola Tajudeen Bello, had accused Major of being the chief instigator of the crisis rocking the party in a statement.

But the presiding judge, Justice Usman Mallam Na’aba in the suit filed by a party held that the Aniegbulam and eight others should desist from carrying out any action pending the determination of the substantive suit.

A member of the party, Alhaji Hasimu Suleiman Dangurawa, through his lawyer, had sued Aniegbulam and 17 others before the court on Tuesday.

The move is the sequel to a report in national dailies purporting the expulsion of the former Kano State governor from the party.

In his ruling, Justice Na’aba held that “An order of interim injunction is hereby granted, restraining the respondents by themselves, their agents, cronies, and whosoever acting or act through them from parading themselves, issuing a press release or granting interviews as national leaders or members of the applicants, pending the hearing and determination of the motion on notice.”

Meanwhile, a member of the National Executive Committee (NEC) Kola Tajudeen Bello on Tuesday, said Major has refused to account for funds given to him during the last general election to execute some party assignments.

“We are sad to note that the NNPP has over the years, harbored some characters with less than noble background to run its affairs.

“These fellows had pretended to be progressives while in actual fact, they are enemies from within. They have finally unmasked themselves for all to see,” the statement reads.

Bello stated further, “We are not unaware of the antics of the expelled former National Publicity Secretary, Mr. Agbo Major, and the damage he has continued to do to our party.

“It is on record that Mr Agbo, who is in cohort with Chief Boniface Aniegbulam has been working day and night, issuing out fake press releases to media organizations in the name of the party with the sole aim of embarrassing our national leader and the former governor of Kano State.

“The said gentleman has been undermining the party for so long and we intend to bring his antics to public knowledge. We are using this medium to urge him to come forward to account for funds given to him.”

While accusing them of sabotage, Bello on behalf of the party, said Major is yet to account for funds given to him to organize the national convention of the NNPP and other activities of the party.

On what the party will do should the ex-spokesman fail to turn up as demanded, Bello said, “We will be forced to involve anti-corruption agencies to help retrieve our funds and very soon, the party will place a disclaimer on them,” he concluded.

The festival with the theme, “Drumming for Cultural Rejuvenation”, will take place in Ibarapa land.

“I also wish to salute your sense of bravery, intelligence, and enthusiasm geared toward the revival of African culture and Yoruba cultural heritage. I am proud of you and your team for this noble and legendary initiative aimed at revamping our indigenous tradition and culture. Ibarapa holds a special place in African drums as ibarapa born Sikiru Adepoju received a Grammy Award with Yoruba drum, he said.”

The Convener, Aborode Oyeniyi in response said “Tourism is the world’s largest growth industry with no signs of slowing down in the 21st century. In order to attract its share of this growing market, the Ibarapa region of Oyo State needs to add to its already exciting list of events. Ibarapa Drum Festival is designed to grow into an international festival that will attract people from around the globe.

NIGERIA- Presidential spokesman, Ajuri Ngelale on Monday said President Bola Tinubu spent months since his victory at the February 25 election setting clear goals for each sector and will not tolerate or accept failure from either of his recently inaugurated ministers.

“The President has set the benchmarks,” the Senior Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity noted on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily.

“The question now is about enforcement and the President has shown, as he did during his time in Lagos State as governor, that he is not someone that is afraid to fire anybody.

Dear Mr. President,

In 1978, Steve Jobs raised over a million dollars from the garage of his house through the use of his intellectual collateral, not a property, to develop the largest technology company and the biggest firm in the world today by market capitalization.

The multi-trillion-dollar vision with a backbone of public research funding from the U.S. government was achieved based on the national importance of driving innovation and as a sign that the government’ investment and its initial leg into great companies do not only present tax benefits but also profit the entire ecosystem.

The Joint Learning Agenda for UHC (JLA4UHC) and the Lagos Civil Society Participation for Development (LACSOP) have commended the Lagos State Health Management Agency (LASHMA) for its dedication and commitment to implement the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA) Act, with the aim of improving access to healthcare services among poor and vulnerable people in Lagos State.

In a joint press release signed by JLA4UHC and LACSOP, the groups expressed their delight with the improvements in the health insurance scheme in Lagos State and the proposed inauguration of the CSO-LASHMA committee, which would ensure citizens’ voices and inclusion in the delivery of the health insurance.

Barr. Ayo Adebusoye, the Chairman, Board of Trustees at LACSOP and the Lagos State JLA Nigeria Focal Point, also emphasized on how the Lagos State Health Scheme tagged “Ilera Eko”, has helped to ensure that vulnerable residents across Lagos State are enrolled into the health plan.

With regards to the LSHS’ alignment to the NHIA, Adebusoye noted that the Lagos State Government needs to improve on the governance and coordination of the LSHS such that an active multi-stakeholder accountability platform, which comprises of representatives from the primary healthcare board, civil society, and other key stakeholders is established.

Adebusoye buttressed that “LASHMA has shown readiness to establish a multi-stakeholder accountability platform especially with the proposed setting up of the CSO-LASHMA committee, which would be inaugurated very soon.”

Olayide Akanni, the Co-convener of JLA4UHC, noted that according to the Lagos State Citizens’ Baseline Readiness and Alignment Scorecard for Implementation of the NHIA Act 2022, the Lagos State Government has fared well in the implementation of the Act, but more action is needed.

Akanni noted that there is a gap in the inclusion of comprehensive multi-level data reporting channels from facility to the NHIA, in the state operational guideline.

She thereafter charged the Lagos State Government to continue to work on its shortfalls, to ensure that the NHIA is fully implemented, and that poor and vulnerable persons in the state have access to quality healthcare services.

She also expressed optimism that the proposed amendment of the LASHMA regulation will incorporate current realities and align with the NHIA Act 2022.

Abba Kyari, CFR, OON! Remember him? Kyari was the Chief of Staff (CoS) to former President Muhammadu Buhari. Born on September 23, 1952, he served in that prestigious position between August 2015 and April 2020.

While in office, little was actually known about Kyari in the public realm. Unfortunately, too, his name actually symbolized an uncanny error of namesake. The Borno State-born lawyer and banker shared a name with somebody who once had a favorable public perception until Satan smiled, and the ‘super cop’ lost it!

NIGERIA- President Bola Tinubu on Sunday redeployed ex-Governor of Osun State and minister-designate, Adegboyega Oyetola, from the Ministry of Transportation to the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy.

EDUCATION- Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State deserves a pat on the back for instructing the three senators representing the state in the Upper Chamber to “mobilize support for former Governor Gboyega Oyetola’s nomination as Minister” during last week’s screening exercise. Of course, it is a gesture that could not be caged!

But beyond sheer propaganda, did the senators’ support amount to anything? Are we saying that, as senators, they cannot reason or talk unaided? If Osun senators have spoken against Nominee Oyetola, would the senate have rejected him and would the president have dropped him? How many ministerial nominees have been so rejected in the past? Just the same, a section of Nigerians are already alleging deterioration of leadership value in the Adeleke-led administration. They are saying that it is nepotistic: a ‘na-we-spend-all-our-money-to-win-the-election-so-we-are-beyond-reproach-from-anybody’ government. This set of Nigerians believes that it’s wrong for the Commissioner for Finance to have come from Ede and that the Ministry of Works, being the biggest spender, shouldn’t have been held by the governor, who is from Ede.

NIGERIA- Former governor of Kaduna state, El-Rufai visited President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on Wednesday after the Senate declined to ratify him as a minister-designate, according to reports. And while Nasir El-Rufai arrived at the Presidential Villa at about 2pm, Nyesom Wike arrived at the Villa at around 1.40pm.

Despite the fact that the purpose for the pair’s visit had not been officially announced, a source at the Presidential Villa reportedly gave a Punch journalist a clue that it had something to do with Nasir El-Rufai’s confirmation as a minister.

NIGERIA- In a nationwide address last Monday, President Bola Tinubu announced some palliatives to mitigate the impact of the high cost of living brought about by the fuel subsidy removal.

Great speech! Excellent delivery! So, kudos to Mr President! However, a section of Nigerians frowned at the speech because ‘it was one-sided’. According to this group, the president only pleaded with the masses to persevere without telling Nigerians what the elite and the privileged clique would be sacrificing to make Nigeria great again. Though Nigerians have never doubted Tinubu’s capacity to be to Nigerians what Prophet Elijah was to the widow of Zarephath, they had expected him to talk about, say, a certain percentage of the emoluments and the privileges of the ruling class – beginning with the president, to the governors, the judiciary and other politically-exposed persons – that would be going into a certain purse in favour of Nigeria’s rescue mission. “The president spoke eloquently to appease the masses; but what about the ‘elite of the elite’ who put us in this situation? Won’t there be a probe?”

The National Leader of the New Nigeria Peoples Party, NNPP, Engineer Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso has been receiving accolades and praises for turning down the offer to join the Government of National Unity being proposed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The decision came after citing several reasons that many members of Kwankwassiyya movement and the NNPP consider incompatible with the founding philosophy of the movement and the party.

Both leaders a few months ago had reportedly met in France to concretize arrangements that would ensure the participation of the opposition parties in the Tinubu-led government.

But the major waged between both leaders is that Sen. Kwankwaso is a pro-masses, a selfless leader whose major concern is the general welfare of the people especially in areas of education, empowerment, social reorientation, security, and good government.

The clear differences in their individual ideologies greatly affected the France deal and talks reached after a series of meetings in France which have since evaporated into thin air.

Members of the Kwankwassiyya movement including NNPP have continued to accuse the All Progressives Congress (APC) led government of implementing and carrying out anti-people's programmes and policies which is considered inimical to the philosophy of the NNPP.

They cited the haste removal of fuel subsidies without proper plans on how to cushion the effects by the government as one such which has continued to inflict pains on Nigerians.

Specifically, Sen. Kwankwaso's group flay the poor management of the decision by the government saying it would be bad for their leader to participate in such government or to be part of the current government.

It is also believed that the decision of Sen. Kwankwaso to stay out of the government will remove the belief that Kwankwaso worked for APC in the last round of the general election, an allegation which was untrue and concocted by APC propaganda machine to smear and weaken NNPP base and to hoodwink the electorates in the northern parts of the country.

Another sour point in the relations between the two parties is the decision of the current government to appoint people tagged with engaging in corruption and corrupt practices into government.

Sen. Kwankwaso can't be seen with characters like Ganduje who was caught stuffing dollars in his pocket and is now being appointed National chairman of the ruling party.

In the main time, Sen. Kwankwaso intends to build a virile constructive opposition coalition movement via NNPP and with other like-minds across the country.

These notwithstanding, the personal relationship with President Bola Tinubu who is a long-time political friend with Sen. Kwankwaso would remain cordial and will remain the same despite turning down the olive branch by the President.

He urged the government at all level to support private hospitals which are already folding up with loans with low interest rates to help them improve and upgrade there health care facilities.

“Government should please assist and support private hospitals with loans with low interest rates to help them improve health care facilities,at the moment the hospitals that take care of patients are private institutions and they are already folding up due to economy hardship”

Dr Olowojebutu said the government should see healthcare as a major responsibility and also provide basic amenities to its citizens.

The case of the Jamb Candidate Mmesoma Ejikeme who insisted that the 362 score in her Jamb result was widely disputed has made the informed and educated look uninformed and cannot even decipher the truth, even when the narratives by the examination body that defects were noticed from the result brandished to the public by the teenager.

The crux of the matter which is her claim of scoring the highest score in the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) in May 2023 which has been disputed by the examination body, has garnered wide arrays of public comments and inquest by both the Anambra State Government and Federal Lawmaker’s has reached its crescendo with the recent discovery that the student of the Anglican Girls Secondary School (AGSS), Nnewi, Anambra State has manipulated her result.

NIGERIA- Without a doubt, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s greatest inner gift is the uncanny ability to deploy native intelligence. Some people rarely talk about it because they didn’t see it coming! Of course, that’s why people didn’t see him coming! Not even the former President Olusegun Obasanjo. Maybe that’s why ‘Balogun Owu’ keeps fighting him like a wounded cobra.

The most brilliant asset that Tinubu represents to Nigeria lies in his antecedents in government and public administration. His pattern creation is legendary. His management and structure sustenance is remarkable. Nigerians are therefore assured that if he flows from what used to be him, it shall be well! That’s what gives everybody peace because he is above religion. He is also above tribal sentiments. Instead, the ‘Asiwaju of Lagos’ is about functional competence. That’s why Lagos is still standing; otherwise, the world would have forgotten about the ‘Centre of Excellence’. From what we can see, the president is handling Nigeria like his own organization. That means he would stop at nothing to add personal value to the survival of the nation without the negative impact of personalization. He has done it before! Tinubu would have owned Lagos, if that had been his ambition, or desire!

Birthdays come with their own adequate burdens of celebrations which the celebrants may not get out of, even after the celebrations may have ended. After the dance in the marketplace, in the forest, and, finally, at the power centre, what remains? Well, it is a question of the buoyancy or otherwise of one’s protocols. The list could be endless! But the expression is the same!

On the flipside, the party has taken off in earnest and the rhythm has also reached the climax of its crescendo; then the mournful dirge surges into the atmospheric attributes of moderation. After that come discussions among party attendees about what’s ongoing in the society. Take, for instance, men who might have had the privilege of biting more than they could chew would also want to vex their muscles; and that might lead to unmanageable mayhem, especially if the excesses become too difficult for the handlers to curtail. Once that kind of situation occurs, damage control becomes the inevitable starboy. After all, ‘what has happened has happened!’

Well, one may not be blessed with the luxury of finding out whether the solution one is devising will work or not. One just applies it, by the instant dictates of ‘life first’ – just to know whether one survives or not.
