NASARAWA APC, PDP LAWMAKERS TRADE
BLOWS
Members of the Nasarawa State House of
Assembly engaged in a free-for-all on
Monday over the appointment of sole
administrators for 11 local government
councils by Governor Tanko Al-Makura.
The free-for-all occurred on the floor of the
legislature barely two hours after the
governor inaugurated the 11 sole
administrators.
Glasses were shattered while tables and
chairs were upturned in the violence that
engulfed the House.
A faction that described the governor’s
action as illegal was opposed by another
faction that supported the action of the
governor.
Some legislators sustained injuries during
the violence while some had their clothes
torn.
Briefing newsmen at the legislative
complex, a member, House Committee on
Information, Mr. Makpa Malla, said that
seats and tables were broken during the
fight.
Describing the appointment by the
governor as illegal, Malla said the Assembly
could not continue to watch the governor
perpetrate illegalities in the state.
He said, “As you can see, this is the
executive room of the state House of
Assembly, where we sit down every
morning to discuss matters which would
bring development to the state and the
country at large.
“Categorically, I want to state here that the
division which caused this chaos was as
result of the appointment of the sole
administrators by the governor. As a
responsible legislature with some of us as
lawyers, we insisted that the right thing
must be done.
“The Section 7 of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria – as amended – guarantees a
democratic system of governance at the
local government level. The provision of the
constitution is explicit on how the local
government structure should be run.
“That is why we are kicking against the
appointment of the sole administrators.
Sole administrators only existed during the
military era and as respecters of the rule of
law, we must ensure that the executive
must also respect the rule of law.”
Malla, however, urged the people of the
state to remain calm and be law-abiding as
the law would take its course in the matter.
Also speaking during the press conference,
Mr. Abubakar Kana, an All Progressives
Congress member representing Kokona-
West, said there was no provision for the
position of sole administrator in the laws of
Nasarawa State.
He said this was the reason why the
lawmakers kicked against the action of Al-
Makura.
He said, “Where would the sole
administrators derive their powers from?
Who determines the tenure and salaries of
the sole administrators? Sole administrators
are not known to Nigerian and Nasarawa
laws.
“If the sole administrators commit any
offence, under what law would they be
tried?”
Reacting, the Deputy Speaker, Godiya
Akwashiki, who is a Peoples Democratic
Party member representing Nasarawa-West,
condemned the action of those who
opposed the governor’s action.
He said the 24-member House would not be
cowed by a few members who had gone on
a campaign of calumny against the state.
Akwashiki said, “They accused some of us of
receiving N50m bribe each from the
governor. I want them to come out with
proof. They should show the world the
video to back up their allegations.
“Although there is the principle of
separation of powers, we still meet with the
governor when necessary. The meeting
could be on his request or on our request.
“Last week Friday, the Speaker of the House
wrote a letter to the governor, requesting
that the House wanted to see him. The
governor granted our demand by
honouring our invitation. The governor
invited all of us but only 17 of us attended
the meeting in Abuja while others stayed
back.”
Akwashiki said the false allegation of bribery
was one of the reasons why a few members
of the legislature opposed the action of the
governor.
The deputy speaker said the lawmakers met
with the governor over a court judgment
which ordered that the tenure of the 11
council chairmen must not exceed two
years.
He said the governor had to inaugurate the
11 sole administrators because of the
security situation in the state, adding that
on account of this, it would be wrong to
fault the governor’s decision.
“We cannot afford to leave the councils
without heads. The tenure of the former
local government chairmen expired on
March 24, 2016,” he said.

BETWEEN AYO FAYOSE AND I
People often say that my friend and brother
Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekiti state and I
are giving the Buhari government a run for
their money more than any other duo in
the country.
Though he and I come from very different
backgrounds and our approach and styles,
when confronting issues, are very different
they say that we are both deeply committed
to our cause, we are both contentious and
that we both have the courage of our
convictions.
They also say we are both ready to pick up
the gauntlet, champion the cause of our
party and people and stand our ground
when confronted by our adversaries or
provoked into any fight.
There is no doubt about the fact that both
Fayose and I are similar in some ways. We
both draw immense strength from our
respective christian testimonies and the
power of our faith.
We also both have a similar world-view and
we both have a fair idea about who the real
troublers of our nation, our faith and our
people are.
We are both what we are because of what
we have been subjected to by the system
and the powers that be over the years and
because of what we have both suffered and
been through in the hands of those we
once reverred, worked with and trusted.
We are also both praying men who have
loved ones and family that are strong in the
faith and that pray hard and well.
I agree with the assesment of those that
often compare us but there is a small
caveat: I regard Fayose as being a populist-
a rugged, grassroots leader of the suffering
masses and a radical politician whilst I see
myself more as a man of letters, a historian,
a deep-thinker and a politically-active but
cloistered intellectual.
Permit me to make a rather crude analogy
and to indulge in a graphic and disturbing
metaphor. In our long-drawn and
protracted political battle and struggle for
power he uses a thick and blunt cudgel to
fight our enemies and batter them to death
whilst I use a thin and sharp rapier with
which I slowly carve them up, slice them to
pieces and bleed them into eternity.
He crushes their bones with rage and brutal
efficiency whilst I clinically cut them up
with ruthless precision. Both methods are
equally effective and both achieve their
objectives.
Yet whatever our differences may be in
terms of style, choice of weapon, method of
battle, substance and approach they say
that we have both courageously stood up to
the Buhari government and that we have
both defiantly spoken our minds about
what is going on in our country today.
Consequently they have described us both
as ''lions and warriors''.
This is a very kind of them though, in all
fairness, I believe that writers and
columnists like Mr. Yinka Odumakin,
Professor Femi Aribisala and Mr. Jude
Ndukwe, politicians like Governor Seriake
Dickson, Governor Olusegun Mimiko and
Dr. Sulaiman Olanrewaju Abubakar (the
former Minister of National Planning),
bloggers like Mr. Deji Adeyanju and Mrs.
Aziza Uko, journalists like Mr. Shaka
Momodu and Mr. Yemi Adebowale and
countless others fall into that "lion"
category as well.
They have also displayed immense courage.
It is not just Ayo Fayose and yours truly.
Some of our friends have also pointed out
that all that we said about President Buhari
and the APC during the Presidential
campaign last year has proved to be
prophetic.
All these kind words and this rather
generous assessment and categorization of
both Fayose and I is very encouraging and I
appreciate them.
Unlike in other nations where vocal
opposition is encouraged and regarded as
an essential part of democracy and an
effective way of keeping those in power on
their toes, when one sticks ones neck out
for their country and people and is loud in
their opposition to government in this part
of the world it is a thankless, unappreciated,
lonely and dangerous road.
And sadly, more often than not, one is
mocked, shunned, despised, hated,
misunderstood, persecuted, maligned,
insulted and misrepresented for taking it.
This is especially so when one is dealing
with a callous and ruthless government, like
we have in our country today. We are being
led by a group of people who have a hidden
agenda, who hate their perceived enemies
and detractors, who are inherently
incompetent and who are manifestly
unjust.
We are burdened with a government who
cannot abide criticism, who are scared of
their own shadow, who have no decency or
honor and who have failed in all their ways.
We are saddled with a leadership who have
offended God and man, who have ruined
our nation, who have impoverished our
people, who are bereft of ideas and who are
hell bent on intimidating the opposition and
silencing the voice of truth.
I am touched by the words of those that are
encouraging those of us that have chosen
to take that road of vocal and virile
opposition and this is especially so because
I have tremendous respect and affection for
Ayo Fayose and I consider him to be one of
our brightest rising stars in the south west.
His name is Peter, like the Rock in the Holy
Bible, and he cannot be shaken. He is a
strong man of faith, a trusted and loyal
friend and I am proud to be mentioned in
the same breath as him.
Yet it is not me that says, writes and does
these things that people find so amazing
and courageous but rather He that is in me.
It is a gift from God and that gift is known
as the Holy Spirit.
He gives us foresight, insight, sensitivity, a
word for the season and the ability to
endure any form of persecution and
hardship and still stand strong.
He gives us the ability to cultivate a firm
resolve, to think things through clearly, to
wait on Him and to have patience.
He also gives us immense courage,
especially when under fire. As a matter of
fact the more the fire burns, the more the
courage rages. This is what is generally
referred to as "Christian fury" and it is a
deep and inexplicable mystery.
I am sure that I can speak for Fayose on
that too because the same applies to him. It
is not he that says and does the things that
he says and does but the Holy Spirit of the
Living God that is in him.
My brother Governor Olusegun Mimiko of
Ondo state, the Iroko of the Western
Region, has the same gift even though he is
a little more restrained, tempered and
gentle.
He is also a devout and practicing Christian
and his sense of maturity, wisdom and
civility does not make him any less effective.
A consummate and experienced politician
and leader: he is truly formidable in all his
ways.
If any discerning politician sits with Mimiko
for ten minutes or more he will know that
the Holy Spirit flows through him like water
flows through an estuary or a stream.
He is a profoundly good man: a man of
power and strength but he couples it with
deep compassion and a sense of equity,
decency and fairness that is rarely seen in
our shores.
Back to Ayo Fayose and yours truly. In all
our adventures there is one difference
between the Governor of Ekiti state and I
which many fail to appreciate. Under our
laws, because he is a serving Governor, he
has immunity from arrest and prosecution
but I do not.
He has the people of Ekiti state solidly
behind him to applaud and support his
every word and move but I do not. He has
the machinery and power of a whole state
government and a State House of Assembly
to fight for him but I do not.
He has the friendship and support of all his
fellow PDP Governors and the party
leadership but I do not. Unlike him my
defence is purely spiritual yet that is more
than enough to guarantee my safety and
well-being. That is more than enough to
comfort me and give me strength and
victory.
I do not have all the physical and
constitutional protection that he has and I
don't need it. I only have God yet He is
more than enough for me. I only have my
faith yet that faith continues to move
mountains for me.
I only have the Lord's sure word and
promise yet that sure word and promise is
worth more than a thousand armies and all
the gold, silver and power in the world
because it never fails. I only have His love,
His grace, His blessing and His mercy yet it
never falters. I am bold, confident and
strong because the Lord is with me.
One thing I should add is this: if Ayo Fayose
were not Governor of Ekiti state nothing
would change and he would still be the lion
that he is. It is not the office that makes the
man but the man that makes the office.
If he were not Governor he would still be as
virulent and courageous in his attacks
against injustice and this unjust
government as he is today.
That is what makes the difference between
him and others. He is Ayo Fayose and, like
Peter the Rock, nothing moves him. (TO BE
CONTINUED). |
Real estate in Nigeria, once predominantly a male industry, is facing a radical shift. Nigerian women who were once known to take a back seat on high profile business deals, have slowly climbed to the top of the industry. They are now giving the men a run for their money. Although many industries in the country are still male-dominated, the highly lucrative Nigerian real estate market has significantly benefited from the rise of the female real estate professional. Women with foresight, intelligence, determination and audacity are shaping the industry and transforming it to a more dynamic and vibrant industry. So what has caused this shift?

‘Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?’ Lamentations 1:12 NKJV John Griffin, who controlled a railway drawbridge over the Mississippi River, took his young son to work with him one day. After putting the massive drawbridge up, Griffin was eating lunch when suddenly he heard the whistle of the Memphis Express roaring towards the crossing. Leaping from the observation deck, he ran to throw the control switch. Glancing down, his heart stopped! His son had fallen into the gears, trapping his leg in the cogs. Desperately he tried to devise a rescue plan, but there was no time. His son was down there - but there were four hundred passengers on the train! Griffin knew what he had to do. Burying his face in his arm, he pushed the master switch just in time to lower the bridge into place as the train thundered across. Then raising his head he looked into the passing windows with tear-filled eyes. There were businessmen casually reading the newspaper, ladies sipping coffee, and children eating ice cream. Nobody even looked at the control house or glanced down at the great gearbox. In agony Griffin cried out, ‘I sacrificed my son for you people. Don’t you care?’ But as the train rushed by, nobody heard the anguished father’s words. On this Good Friday as we consider the cross where God sacrificed His Son for each of us, He’s asking: ‘Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by?’ The question then becomes: ‘What…shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?’ (Matthew 27:22 NKJV). There is only one right answer to that question: ‘Today, I accept You as my Saviour and my Lord.’ Remember, you are the reason for the season! Happy Easter!!! |
