IT was former Senate President, the late Dr. Chuba Okadigbo, who once said that it takes political sagacity to understand political arithmetic. Many Nigerian politicians, especially men of yester years, have failed to learn from this adage of the late renowned political scientist cum politician, while engaging in partisan politics. They rather still live in self-delusion, believing that anything is possible in Nigerian politics in as much as you can bribe your way through. But they easily forget that devil thrives where good men do nothing.

The scenario captures the events that transpired between former governor of Abia State, Chief Orji Uzor Kalu and the members of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Abia State, recently, which culminated to Kalu's recent, sudden withdrawal from the Abia North Senatorial seat race.

Since late 2010, when Kalu lost out in power struggle in Abia State against his successor, Chief Theodore Orji, he had made several attempts to return to the PDP through the backdoor, but had always met the brick wall, due to his failure to do the needful and swallow pride. In 2010, the PDP national leadership led by its then national chairman, Chief Okwesilieze Nwodo came to Umuahia to plead with Governor Orji to return to PDP because the party needed him; a plea Governor Orji acceded to after consultations. Kalu became rattled and quickly rushed to the PDP national secretariat in Abuja to pay Nwodo unsolicited visit and announced his return to the PDP. This development got Abia PDP stakeholders angry for they have been nurturing the party since 2006 when Kalu abandoned it to form his own party, Progressives Peoples Alliance (PPA).

The stakeholders hurriedly stormed the party's national secretariat in Abuja and protested Kalu's acclaimed return to the party without due process. They insisted that they prefer to work with Governor Orji who is more accommodating, valuable and humble. Following the protest, the party leadership in its wisdom acceded to their demand, and advised Kalu to go back to his ward and state and reconcile with the party stakeholders. Typical of Kalu, he ignored the party leadership's admonition and continued to put out himself as a member of PDP in the state without being part of any party meetings at the state, zone or national level. Instead, he continued the political grandstanding and leveraged on his newspaper to unleash media war on the party elders in the state including his successor, Governor Orji and his family. He called them names, blamed them for his political ordeals, and took on his successor, his family and government consistently on pages of newspaper. When it dawned on Kalu before the 2011 elections that Abia PDP was not ready to embrace him, he quickly fell back on his PPA, under which platform he contested the Abia North Senatorial seat in 2011 and lost.

With the emergence of Alhaji Bamanga Tukur as the national chairman of PDP, Kalu continued to parade himself as a member of PDP telling anybody who cared to listen that Tukur had assured him of his membership of the party. Sometimes in 2012, he even reportedly brandished a PDP membership card on newspaper pages, claiming it was issued to him by the party executives in his ward; a claim the party leadership in the state led by its Chairman Senator Emma Nwaka refuted, stressing that Kalu was not a member of PDP. With Tukur's ouster and emergence of former governor of Bauchi State, Alhaji Adamu Muazu as his successor, Kalu increased his tempo of criticisms on Gov Orji and his government, seemingly seeking to portray him as a failure in governance. He continuously praised President Jonathan and his government on the pages of newspaper, as if to attract attention and sympathy. He also continued to find fault in his successor, a clear case of calling a dog a bad name to hang it, and considering that Governor Orji, with glaring challenges, outperformed Kalu in office. Banking on the false promise by some acclaimed political heavyweights in the party, Kalu purchased the PDP senatorial form.

Few days to the screening of the party's national assembly aspirants, a story, which turned out to be fabricated, was sponsored in some national dailies that the national leadership of the party had granted Kalu special waiver to contest the Abia North senatorial seat. The National vice chairman, Southeast zone of the party, Col. Chris Akobundu (rtd) issued a disclaimer insisting that there was never such a waiver, because Kalu was not yet a member of the party. That was the final straw that broke the camel's back for Kalu. He was neither screened in Umuahia nor Abuja as a senatorial aspirant of PDP for Abia North zone. Why was he not screened if he was truly granted special waiver by the party's national leadership as he claimed?



In a soft-landing tactics to save face, Kalu recently wrote an open letter to the national chairman of PDP announcing his withdrawal from the senatorial race and demanding for a refund of the money he paid for the form. Kalu attributed his action to his successor, whom he accused of preventing him from returning to the PDP.

But, which withdrawal was Kalu talking about, and what refund was he asking for? How would somebody who was not qualified in the first place to enter a race announce his withdrawal when it was obvious that he was not qualified for the race in the first place? Again, how would such a person ask for a refund of money paid to enter the race, when he knew he was not qualified and went ahead to purchase form? Obviously, the PDP owes Kalu neither an apology nor any refund because he was never forced by to buy its product without reading through the conditions attached to it.

How the former governor could attribute his self-inflicted political woes to his successor, Governor Orji, whom he had severally described as nobody before now, is curious? When has Governor Orji suddenly become somebody to the extent of stopping Kalu from rejoining the PDP? Why has Governor Orji not stopped others in the state from returning to PDP? When did Gov Orji become the only party elder or PDP stakeholders in the state? Why is Kalu so desperate to return to the PDP? Why not try his popularity on other political platforms? Why the insistence to cohabit with people who do not want your association?

Kalu's dilemma in Abia PDP ahead of 2015 polls is a big lesson for politicians who see themselves as being above the party authority and members. It has also shown that there is no shortcut to party leadership as the present leadership of the party insisted on due process. The development is a pointer that there is limitation to freedom of association, because an organisation also has constitutional right to reject somebody from becoming its member. Having taken care of somebody who had always believed he could continue to dominate the party in the state, the Abia PDP members are now unencumbered to go into 2015 polls as a united family as they did in 2011 when they won landslide. For Kalu and his followers, it is a bitter lesson occasioned by their lack of political sagacity, which would have enabled them to understand the political arithmetic in the state. The saying that devil thrives where good men do nothing is real. Today, whatever bad political omen that was portrayed in Abia State has been nipped in the bud for the good of the state against next year's election and beyond.

Barely a week after he splashed N16.4 million and N8 million on Katsina and Sokoto All Progessives Congress chapters respectively to lobby delegates ahead of the Primary Election in December 2014, the Former Vice President,Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, today doled out another N5 million naira to the Ebonyi Chapter of the party in Abakaliki to canvas for votes of the delegates.

Atiku, after his official visit to the State Party Secretariat in company of the Party henchmen across the country,announced a donation of 5million Naira to refurbish the Secretariat as well as 50 thousand Naira to each of the delegates from the 13 Local Government Areas of the State that would participate at the up coming Presidential primary election.

The Former Vice President of Nigeria,who described himself as the most outstanding Democrat in Nigeria said he was in Ebonyi State to honour the Party faithful in the state, as well, ask for their support to realise his presidential
ambition.

He said there is nothing like consensus candidate,affirmation or acclamation in the current Nigerian Democracy, insisting that true democracy is obtained by one casting ones vote to a person of ones choice.

He said his aim of running the Presidential race is to change what is not right explaining that it was from this point of view that made him to fight the 3d term agenda even as a vice President.

He said that the problem with the Nigerian society is that power is often given to people who are not prepared:“you don't give power to people who are not ready,people who are not prepared, people who do not have the experience;I stand out among the rest"

He said the APC is challenging the notion of PDP that it would rule the country the next 60years stressing that it cannot happen.

He urged the members of the Party to vote for APC in the 2015 and to stay around their voting points, to ensure that their vote counts.

He assured the Ebonyians saying“ you can trust power in me because I will not abuse your democratic right"

Chuck Hagel Monday resigned as US defence secretary after less than two years in the top military post, according to US media report.

Mr Hagel, 68, a Vietnam war veteran and former senator, became defence secretary in 2013.


Last month, it was reported that he was sharply critical of the US strategy against Islamic State and in relation to the Syria regime.
He is expected to stay on as secretary until his successor is confirmed.

An unnamed official told the Associated Press news agency that Mr Hagel and Mr Obama both "determined that it was time for new leadership in the Pentagon" and had been discussing the move for weeks.

The New York Times reported that Mr Obama had asked Mr Hagel to step down after the defence secretary opened up discussions of his leaving.

US Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel speaks to members of 3rd Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, at the National Training Center in Fort Irwin, Calif. on 16 November 2014
Hagel's 58-41 confirmation was the narrowest ever vote margin for a Pentagon nominee
Analysis, Jon Sopel, North America Editor

Chuck Hagel is a friendly, no-nonsense defence secretary. He was also the one Republican in the White House national security set-up.

But that may be of lesser importance than him being appointed to do one task in the Pentagon, only to find that the job description has changed fundamentally.

He was the man appointed to bring the troops home and pare back the huge defence budget. But then Islamic State came along and all the calculations changed, and Mr Obama and his defence chief found themselves at odds.

There was a lack of clear strategy, perhaps because Mr Obama and Mr Hagel didn't agree on what it should be. And after mid-term political defeats, the president needs a military win. So a change at the top will be an important symbol of that determination.

Which of course leaves the question, did he jump or was he pushed? Probably a bit of both.

Mr Hagel, who served as Republican senator for his home state of Nebraska for 12 years, became critical of US involvement in Iraq despite voting to authorise the war.
He replaced Leon Panetta as defence secretary in Mr Obama's second term, taking on the task of winding down the Afghanistan war and making a military shift towards Asia.

But the future of US military policy has changed amid air strikes against IS in Iraq and Syria.

"The next couple of years will demand a different kind of focus," an unnamed White House official told the New York Times.

US media report there was increasing tension between Mr Hagel and the administration over decisions in Syria and working styles, citing Hagel confidantes and senior defence officials.

Mr Obama is not expected to announce a nominee to replace Mr Hagel on Monday. Once named, the nominee would have to be confirmed by the Senate.

After taking a giant step forward in May, by winning their first trophy in nine-years and ending their trophy less streak, Arsenal seem to be bringing back their old-habits.

The summer transfer was the perfect period for Wenger to ameliorate the defensive predicament- A department that has hunted them for years. However, despite sanctioning the sale of Vermaelen, the Frenchman never sought for his replacement, amid the threadbare situation.

Arsenal are eight on the Premier League log with four wins from 12 matches – their worst start to a season in 32 years.

The recent loss to Manchester United at the Emirates was unacceptable, especially after they dominated a huge chunk of the game but failed to score, forcing critics, fans and pundits alike to request for an immediate dismissal to the man that once guided the club to an unbeaten run in the 2003-2004 season.

Alisher Usmanov, Arsenal’s second largest shareholder, also launched a scathing attack to Wenger, accusing him of failing to learn from his past demeanor.

Speaking to CNBC, He said: “He is one of the greatest coaches, not just of European, but of world football. But we have a Russian proverb which goes: “Even an old lady can have a roof falling on her.

“Everybody makes mistakes. He can make mistakes and I know as you age it is more difficult, more challenging to accept one’s mistakes. Does [Wenger] have money or not? There is officially money in the club.

“Arsenal is a dream that sometimes becomes a mirage and sometimes a pain as every dream. [The] potential of the team is there but there is no critical evaluation of mistakes and they need to need to acknowledge them. Because no genius can retain the same level of genius if they do not acknowledge mistakes. It’s only when you admit your mistakes that you can get rid of them.

“My opinion – and I tell it openly – we need to strengthen every position to play on the level of such teams in [the] UK as Chelsea and Manchester City, in Europe like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and other clubs.”

Arsenal battle Dortmund next in the Uefa Champions League and failure to beat Jurgen Klopp’s men could provoke more scrutiny, even though a point would see them qualify to the second round, albeit in second spot in the group table.

SHOULD Arsene Wenger be sacked from his Managerial duty?

The immediate past Minister of Information, Mr. Labaran Maku, has vowed that restoration of peace and tranquility to Nasarawa State will be his top priority if elected the governor of the state come 2015 elections, while accusing the ruling All progressives Congress of being the brain behind the incessant violence recorded in the state



Maku stated this on Sunday in Abuja, shortly after he was cleared by the screening committee of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to contest primaries under the platform of the party.

The former minister, who vowed to chase out all the mercenaries disturbing the peace of the state, accused the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) of sponsoring violence for political gains.

“I know they know what I will do to them if by God’s grace I win the election and get sworn in,” he said.

Maku expressed optimism that he would emerge as the standard bearer of the PDP, as he said his hard work and loyalty to the party from 1998 when he joined the party and never defected would pay off for him.

He noted that political parties should not be seen as mere platforms for contesting elect but affiliated to ideologies.

“If you don’t belong to a party, that means you have no ideology. Even if you take my DNA and check, you will see PDP.”

While condemning the administration of ruling APC in the state, Maku said:

“I am opposed to APC. It is a very violent party; I don’t believe in their ideology.”

A pro-Jonathan rally organised yesterday by the Ebonyi State Governor, Martins Elechi, was largely boycotted by all the major stakeholders in the state, as the podium was occupied by only the Governor, his wife, Mrs. Josephine Elechi, and the chairman of the occasion, Eng. Fidelis Nwankwo.



According to findings, even with Elechi’s order to his men, the venue of the event was taken over by rival groups, with no visible evidence of his being in charge of the situation.


Also, investigations revealed that the boycott of the event by the party and all prominent citizens of the state was due to the governor’s continued resolve to inform stakeholders about party affairs, rather than consult and work for consensual positions on major issues.


However, Elechi yesterday alleged that some politicians who are contesting elective positions in the 2015 general election were sabotaging President Goodluck Jonathan’s efforts towards building a united Nigeria.
The governor said this at the solidarity rally in support of President Goodluck Jonathan’s declaration for President at the Abakaliki Township Stadium.


Elechi added that President Jonathan has portrayed himself as a true Nigerian by refusing to discriminate against anybody irrespective of tribe, religion, language and socio-political affiliation even in the face of opposition.


“We are here for a purpose; to thank the man who is the greatest gift to Nigerians. Nigerians are begging him to continue his agenda for total transformation of Nigeria. We thank God for giving us Jonathan. We are happy for him. Some are pretending to be working for him while they are sabotaging him”, the governor said.
He stressed that the choice of former Minister of Health, Prof. Onyebuchi Chukwu, as the state consensus candidate was not his making but a public declaration.


Elechi urged all Ebonyians not to vote for people of questionable character in the 2015 general election. He noted despite provocation against the government by the opposition party members, he appealed to the people not to result to violence to ensure a free, fair and credible election come 2015.
