The Academic Staff Union of Universities on
Tuesday announced the suspension of the
union strike that has crippled the nation’s
public universities for close to six months.
Addressing a press conference in the Federal
Universities of Technology, Minna, the Niger
State capital, the National President of ASUU,
Dr. Nasir Fagge, said the union had agreed to
suspend the strike after a meeting of the
National Executive Council which started on
Monday.
Fagge also listed the components of the
agreement which the union had with the
Federal Government, which led to the
resolution of the long-drawn crisis.

Golden Eaglets forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, is
set to join English Premier League side,
Manchester City. The player left having been
released on Monday from the Super Eagles
camp in Abuja by Stephen Keshi. Iheanacho
was in camp for the Championship of African
Nations billed for South Africa in January.
A statement from the Eagles Media officer, Ben
Alaiya, on Monday confirmed Iheanacho’s
departure for England. The PUNCH however
could not get a confirmation from City of any
such move as at Monday night.
The youngster was the Most Valuable Player at
the recent FIFA U-17 World Cup in the United
Arab Emirates. The competition was won by
Nigeria after defeating Mexico 3-0 in the final
match.
Keshi was quoted by Alaiya as saying that he
had to approve the departure of the player
after his father, James Iheanacho, personally
put a call to him on Monday afternoon
requesting the release of his son for the trip to
England.
Keshi said, “Initially a young man came
declaring that he was the agent of Iheanacho,
but I declined to deal with him until I hear
from the family because the boy is still a minor.
“It was soon after my rejection that I got a call
from his father who told me that they have got
travelling visa to the United Kingdom and that I
should oblige him with his son’s release. I did
and told the young man to go and do the
nation proud at whichever club he finally
chooses to settle down with.”
Keshi acknowledged that Iheanacho is a
talented player but also cautioned that the
player should be handled gently and
professionally as he navigates his professional
career. The player’s transfer has been one of
controversies since he made the headlines at
the FIFA competition. It started with several
people stepping up as agents for the player and
then it was followed by different price tags
placed on him. The choice of European club to
join soon became a thorny issue between the
player and his father such that the player left
home unceremoniously with the father allegedly
declaring him missing.
But apart from the Iheanacho move, the Eagles
also trained on Monday. The national team
cancelled their second Monday training session
after it appeared that the close to three hours
morning training session may have taken its toll
on the players.
“We have to be cautious not to push the
players too hard so that nobody will break
down,” Keshi said.

Mikel Obi has reflected on the draw for the last
16 of the Champions League, after Chelsea
were paired to play Galatasaray on Monday.
Didier Drogba who now stars for the Turkish
side will return to Stamford Bridge for the first
time since leaving Chelsea.
The Super Eagles midfielder who spoke with
Chelseafc.com said he and his teammates
would not be carried away by Drogba’s return
but would rather focus on beating Galatasaray
and picking their full points.
The tie, which sees Chelsea travel to Istanbul
for the first leg, affords Blues supporters an
opportunity to show their appreciation for the
eight years’ service Drogba gave the club, a
spell which culminated with the Ivorian winning
us the Champions League in Munich with his
very last kick in a Chelsea shirt Chelseafc.com
reports.
Mikel said yesterday that he was yet to hear
from Drogba, but while understandably looking
forward to facing his friend and former team-
mate, stressed the importance of focusing on
overcoming a side now managed by Roberto
Mancini.
He said, “I’m sure he will text very soon, he’s
probably having a drink after seeing the draw,
but it will be great to have him back. We
shouldn’t get carried away about him coming
back; he is a player that was here for eight
years, he won major trophies, he’s a big player
with a big personality.
“Obviously he had to move on but Chelsea
continue, we have to win games, he’s coming
here with his new club, Galatasaray, who we
want to beat, so we shouldn’t get carried away
about him coming back, we want to win the
game.”
The game will be the first clash between the
two sides since they met in the group stages of
the 1999/2000 tournament. Chelsea won 1-0 at
home and then recorded their biggest
Champions League away win over in Turkey
with a 5-0 victory.
Galatasaray secured their place in the knockout
stage courtesy of a narrow 1-0 win over
Juventus in their final group game, with Wesley
Sneijder scoring the crucial goal, and the
Dutchman, as Mikel explained, is just one more
player Chelsea will need to keep tabs on.
“They are a great team. Didier, Wesley, they
have a good team and obviously they have
Roberto Mancini who is trying to implement his
philosophy and change the way they play.
“It will be tough but it’s a game we’re looking
forward to. It will be good to meet old rivals,
who you have played against in the past, as
well as old team-mates.”
Galatasaray supporters are renowned for their
passionate backing and their ability to make life
difficult for opposing players. Mikel is aware of
the kind of atmosphere.
“We know what to expect from the fans,” he
explained. “They will be on top of their team
and support them but it’s up to us to not listen
to them and make sure we go out there and
play our game.”

The All Progressives Congress has called on the
National Assembly to immediately commence
the process of impeaching President Goodluck
Jonathan for alleged gross misconduct.
It said in a statement on Sunday by its
Interim National Publicity Secretary, Alhaji Lai
Mohammed, that Jonathan’s impeachment
would save Nigeria from imminent collapse.
But the Presidency warned the APC and others,
who it said were bent on plunging the nation
into political instability, to be ready for the
consequences of treasonable action.
The opposition party, however, said it made
the call with a high sense of responsibility
and strong belief that the impeachment of the
President was a legitimate constitutional option
available to the National Assembly not only to
protect the nation’s democracy, but to ensure
its unity.
It explained that it based the call for
Jonathan’s impeachment on the dangerous
drifting of the country.
The APC added that there was a total failure of
leadership, insecurity, unprecedented
corruption, impunity, massive unemployment
and hunger in the country.
The statement reads in part, ‘’Since the raison
d’etre of any government is the security and
welfare of the citizenry, and the present
administration has failed to live up to the
justification of its existence, there can be no
other definition of gross misconduct but that.
“Therefore, the time has come for the head of
that government, on whose desk the buck
stops, to be removed through the provisions
stipulated in the 1999 Constitution. This is the
patriotic thing to do.”
The APC warned that if the National Assembly
failed to act very fast, it would share with
the “clueless and feckless” Jonathan
administration, the blame for dashing the
hopes of millions of Nigerians, especially the
youth.
The party said it was necessary for anyone who
might say the call for the impeachment of the
President was outlandish to remember that all
it would take to torpedo the current democracy
was “for this increasingly-paranoid government
to get a pliant judge to put a judicial stamp on
just one of its litany of illegalities.”
The party also wondered why the PDP could
go to court to challenge the defection of five of
its governors.
It recalled that an attempt by the ruling party
to declare the seat of the then Vice-President
Atiku Abubakar vacant was rejected by the
Supreme Court, when he defected to the then
Action Congress of Nigeria.
It wondered what could have been the motive
behind the latest action of the PDP.
The APC said, ‘’What then can be the sole
motive behind the PDP’s action? To plunge
Nigeria into chaos? This is why we issued a
strong warning in our statement of December
5 in which we said, ‘We wish to state
unequivocally that should the PDP go ahead
with this plan, there will be widespread
repercussions as the APC has resolved that,
henceforth, every act of impunity of the PDP
and the Presidency will be met with stiff
resistance in the form of a vociferous
telegraphing of people’s power, the likes of
which have not been witnessed in these parts.’
“We reiterate those words today (Sunday), and
make bold to say that not even the revelation
by former President Olusegun Obasanjo that
snipers are being trained secretly and that
1,000 people have been placed on political
watch, will deter us from saving this
democracy, which was watered by the sweat
and blood of many patriots, long before this
generation of opportunists stormed the political
scene.”
The opposition said while Nigerians were very
much aware of the failings of the Jonathan
government in all sectors, it was important to
remind them that the administration had, in
particular, not been up to scratch in fighting
corruption.
The party said the government had also failed
to provide jobs for Nigerian youths, even as it
daily reels out phantom figures of economic
growth that only serve to keep the so-called Ivy
League-trained officials in charge of the
economy on their jobs.
The APC added, “The talk out there now is that
Nigeria has never had it so bad. But the
government may not know because it has
distanced itself from the people.
“Therefore, for embracing corruption so much
and providing succour to corrupt public
officials, for threatening the country’s fragile
unity through divisive policies and politics, for
frittering away the nation’s resources through
unprecedented cronyism and clannishness, and
for a total failure of leadership, this President
deserves to be slammed with the cudgel of
impeachment.’’
When contacted, the Chairman, Senate
Committee on Information, Media and Public
Affairs, Senator Eyinnaya Abaribe, said the
Senate was not aware of the call for the
President’ s impeachment by the APC
“I can only react to issues and matters before
the Senate that have been concluded. No letter
or motion has been brought before the Senate
on the issue,” he said.
But the Presidency, in a statement by the
Special Adviser to the President on Media and
Publicity, Dr. Reuben Abati, dismissed the call
as opportunistic, partisan and ill-motivated.
“The Presidency warns that the APC and any
person who make themselves its willing tools
for the breach of public order and safety will
be made to face the full sanctions of the law.
Those who are threatening fire and brimstone
should be ready for the consequences of
treasonable action,” it said.
It advised Nigerians to distinguish between
reckless violations of civic duty and the urgent
need to protect the integrity of the nation
against those who for selfish reasons had
declared their readiness to stop at nothing.
While describing the call as reckless and
irresponsible, the Presidency warned that the
Federal Government would not standby and let
the nation be plunged into unnecessary
political instability.
The statement reads in part, “We have noted
with utter disdain, the reckless and
irresponsible call by the APC on Sunday for the
National Assembly to commence impeachment
proceedings against President Goodluck
Jonathan.
“Ordinarily, we would not have dignified Alhaji
Lai Mohammed’s latest vituperations in the
service of his paymasters with a response, but
we thought it necessary to warn that the
Federal Government will not standby idly and
let the nation be plunged into unnecessary
crises and political instability because of the
desperation and apparent readiness of the APC
spokesman and his gang of power-seeking
desperadoes to sacrifice the well-being of the
country on the altar of their selfish personal
ambitions.
“The Presidency totally condemns the decision
by Alhaji Mohammed and his party to move
further beyond the bounds of honourable and
acceptable political conduct with the senseless
call for the impeachment of a President who
continues to sincerely devote himself to the
discharge of the sacred mandate freely given to
him by Nigerians.
“The APC, which remains a minority party with
doubtful credentials in the National Assembly,
knows fully well that its attempt to hector and
blackmail a parliament dominated by loyal
members of the President’s party, the PDP, into
an impeachment process, will come to nothing.
“But it has cavalierly embarked on this
outrageous gambit, with scant regard for peace,
order, security and political stability in the
country in furtherance of its dastardly and
heinous strategy of over-heating the polity and
working to cause public disaffection against the
Jonathan Presidency with lies, false accusations
and unjustifiable indictments ahead of the
2015 general elections.”
The Presidency said it considered it
deplorable that the APC had in its
Machiavellian desperation recklessly assailed
the integrity and honour of the judiciary.
It added, “We have noted the undisguised
threat by the APC to foster public insurrection
against the Federal Government if pending
legal cases go against it.
“We dismiss the APC’s call for the President’s
impeachment as opportunistic, partisan and ill-
motivated.”
The PDP also described the call by the APC as
“irresponsible, malicious and self-seeking.”
“The call is part of the plan by the APC to
truncate this democracy and we will not allow
it, ” the PDP spokesperson, Chief Olisa
Metuh, said.
He added, “The APC had planned to cause
mayhem during the governorship election in
Anambra State, but God did not allow that to
happen.
“Its members want to engineer turmoil and
breakdown of law and order in the country.
They know that they cannot win the 2015
general elections because Nigerians have
rejected them.”
Metuh asked Nigerians to be wary of the
activities of the members of the opposition
party.
He also called on them to hold the opposition
party responsible for any breakdown of law
and order in the country.

Scores of angry youths on Saturday went on
the rampage in Ayetoro, Yewa North Local
Government Area, Ogun State, following an
alleged assault on the Alaye of Ayetoro, Oba
Azeez Adelakun, by 10 village heads, popularly
called baales .
The youths also took to the streets on Sunday
and prevented the opening of the market in the
town, while other businesses were forced to
close shops.
The baales allegedly beat up Adelakun, cutting
the traditional royal beads off his neck over a
chieftaincy disagreement.
The fracas between the baales and the
monarch was said to have occurred at the
palace while Adelakun was making preparations
to install the new village head of Ago-Imala,
Chief Olayiwola Ajibola, a move which the
village heads allegedly opposed.
Our correspondent learnt that there had been
a tension between the baales and the monarch
over his installation of two village heads in the
Saala community, which boiled over on
Saturday when Adelakun moved to formalise
Ajibola’s headship of Ago-Imala community.
A resident, who pleaded anonymity, explained
that the village heads had requested a meeting
with the Oba.
He said, “When the monarch entered his palace
for the meeting, the aggrieved baales refused
to pay him the traditional homage and instead
told him that they no longer recognise him as
the traditional ruler of the town.
“One of the baales moved to forcibly remove
the royal beads from the monarch, but his
(monarch) resistance led to the fracas in the
palace. The baale beat him up.”
It was learnt that some youths of the
community learnt of the assault on the
monarch, they rushed to the palace and
descended on some of the baales, who were
still in the palace.
PUNCH Metro was told that the state
Commissioner of Police, Ikemefuna Okoye, later
led his men to restore normalcy in the area.
Our correspondent, who visited the town at
about 2.00pm on Saturday, observed bonfire
made by the aggrieved youth, who protested
the alleged assault on the monarch.
At the Orile Saala Road residence of the
monarch, our correspondent was told that the
monarch had lost his voice allegedly due to the
assault.
However, the Baale of Ayinbo-Ayetoro, Chief
Ezekiel Ogundele, who spoke on behalf of the
embattled monarch, alleged that his aggrieved
colleagues had planned to dethrone Adelakun.
Ogundele said, “They said Kabiyesi disgraced
them in Abeokuta and they will retaliate by
removing him as the king of the town. There
are two baales in Saala and the baales wanted
the two offices merged, but Kabiyesi disagreed,
saying he was the one that installed both of
them.
“This did not go down well with the aggrieved
baales who vowed to deal with the Kabiyesi by
removing him.
“When the baales got to the palace, they did
not pay homage and when the monarch asked
them why they failed to pay the homage they
said the Kabiyesi had been removed as the
king.They were about 10 in number.
“Some of them tore the traditional beads of the
king and beat him up. All of them had held a
meeting where they planned on how to attack
the king and they acted the script. As they
were beating the Kabiyesi, the Kabiyesi urged
his people not to touch them. Later the police
came and took them away.”
The state Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa
Adejobi, who confirmed the incident, said that
19 Baales were involved in the crisis.
Adejobi, a Deputy Superintendent of Police,
added that only one person was injured in the
violence.
He said, “ Baale Keesan assaulted the monarch
by removing the beads from the king. The
youth in the area reacted, but the prompt
intervention of policemen saved the day and
only one person was injured.
“The Olu of Ilaro and Yewa Traditional council
have intervened. So, there is no need of arrest.
The Olu of Ilaro has intervened and normalcy
has been restored in the area.”

morett: Intereting principle, quite audacious. A preacher once said actors and actresses should use their talents with eternity in view.
