Some members of the All Progressives Congress’ faction in the House of Representatives known as the Loyalists Group on Sunday denied that the leadership tussle in the legislature was over, contrary to Saturday’s public announcement by key figures of the group.

Rather, the lawmakers said there could only be “genuine agreement” on how to achieve peace in the House if the Speaker, Mr. Yakubu Dogara, would sever his “unholy ties” with the Peoples Democratic Party members of the House.

This came amid mounting tension ahead of the rescheduled resumption of the House on Tuesday.

Dogara is also set to name the principal officers of the House tomorrow.

However, the loyalists insisted that discussions on peace must be with all the members of the group lead by a former Minority Leader of the House, Mr. Femi Gbajabiamila.

The members, who addressed a news conference in Abuja, argued that an APC-dominated legislature with a leadership by the PDP was not their idea of the change the APC worked hard to attain at the 2015 general election.

The spokesman for the group, Mr. Nasir Zangon-Daura, gave this position at the news conference, where 21 out of the 174 members of the group showed up.

However, Zangon-Daura explained that he had the mandate of the absentee members to speak on their behalf.

He denied that any concessions or offers on how to resolve the crisis had been offered to the group, against a position taken by key members of the group in Abuja on Saturday.

Zangon-Daura said, “To have a genuine agreement that is not tainted by the PDP, the Dogara group will have to first of all cut off the umbilical cord between it and the PDP and secondly, engage in candid reconciliatory discussions with our group as a whole through our approved members under the leadership of Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila.

“We are, however, aware of the Trojan offers of party principal officers’ positions being made to individuals in our group in their individual capacities in order to lure them from our group.

“We, hereby, restate for the avoidance of any doubt that this struggle is not about Femi Gbjabiamila, Yakubu Dogara, Alhassan Ado-Doguwa, Mohammed Monguno or Pally Iriase.

“This is about being loyal and committed to the party’s manifesto, which among others, includes the fight against corruption by President Muhammadu Buhari.”

Zangon-Daura recalled that efforts to resolve the leadership tussle culminated in an intervention by the APC’s Governors’ Forum through the Governor of Sokoto State, Mr. Aminu Tambuwal.

He noted that, having met the loyalists group led by Gbajabiamila and the Consolidation Group of Dogara, the former expected the Tambuwal committee to convene a meeting of the two sides for further discussions.

Zangon-Daura added that while this second phase of meetings was being awaited, it came to them as a surprise that the Dogara group had appointed principal officers and was about to unveil them on Tuesday.

“This second meeting between Governor Aminu Tambuwal and our group has yet to take place,” he said.

On Saturday, Ado-Doguwa (Kano State); Iriase (Edo State); and Monguno (Borno State) seen as strong mobilisers of the loyalists group, had declared support for Dogara, a move that confirmed the crack in the group.

The lawmakers claimed that they had realised it was better to place the interest of the country ahead of all other considerations to accept the positions of the principal officers of the House as proposed by Dogara.

Aggrieved members of the Peoples Democratic Party’s State Working Committee on Friday denied rumours that they were planning to defect to the All Progressives Congress because of Governor Ayodele Fayose.
The Acting Chairman, Mr Tunde Olatunde, who spoke on behalf of the 51 members of State Executive Committee and 11 of the 14 SWC to deny the report, however, admitted that there were issues to be resolved with the governor.
The SWC recently suspended the Chairman and a loyalist of Governor Ayodele Fayose, Chief Idowu Faleye, for allegedly failing to convene a meeting since he assumed office last year.
It then appointed Olatunde who was the Vice Chairman (North), as the Acting Chairman pending ratification of his appointment by the National Executive Committee of the party.
Speaking with journalists in company with the State Secretary, Dr Tope Aluko and Auditor, Mr Tunji Olanrewaju, Olatunde said they would not leave the party for the governor.
He said, “We have laboured for the PDP. Fayemi was there for four years. We could not get any dividend of democracy. We worked hard to install Fayose, why must we now leave the house we struggled to build?
“Though there are issues to settle with the Governor, but we are settling it and we will get out of this crisis stronger. We have been reaching out to those who have been maintaining siddon look, I mean the aggrieved ones. We have reached about 40 people, particularly those who are not on the same page with the party.
“If we are working hard to build the party and bringing the aggrieved in, then why can we leave? What is the APC now that we want to go and share? This story is meant to tarnish our image, it was a blatant lie and it is absolutely rejected.
“We believe it was wicked that somebody can say we want to leave, leave for what? We Have produced the governor, three senators, six Reps and 26 Assembly members. So, we cannot leave the House we built by our own sweat,” Olatunde said.
The Acting Chairman, said it was wrong to make Faleye, who is not a registered member of the PDP the State Chairman.
“He is the chairman of the party in the Government House. It is unconstitutional for an unregistered member to become the chairman.
“The constitution stipulated certain conditions that you must meet before you can be a State Chairman of our party.
“He is from Ido Osi Ward I, that had produced the Youth leader. So, It is unconstitutional for a ward to produce two exco members and for non-registered person to be elected an officer of a ward, let alone a whole State.”
Aluko added that the party would continue to forge ahead to woo aggrieved members back to the party and ensure party supremacy.

The world’s first malaria vaccine has received a green light from European drugs regulators who recommended it should be licensed for use in babies in Africa who are at risk of the mosquito-borne disease.

The shot, called RTS,S or Mosquirix, would be the first licensed human vaccine against a parasitic disease and could help prevent millions of cases of malaria in countries that use it.

The vaccine was developed by British drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline in partnership with the PATH Malaria Vaccine Initiative,

Recommendations for a drug licence made by the European Medicines Agency are normally endorsed by the European Commission within a couple of months.

Mosquirix, also part-funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will also now be assessed by the World Health Organisation, which has promised to give its guidance on when and where it should be used before the end of this year.

Malaria killed an estimated 584,000 people in 2013, the vast majority of them in sub-Saharan Africa.

More than 80 percent of malaria deaths are in children under the age of five.

Andrew Witty, GSK’s chief executive, said EMA’s positive recommendation was a further important step towards making the world’s first malaria vaccine available for young children.

“While RTS,S on its own is not the complete answer to malaria, its use alongside those interventions currently available such as bed nets and insecticides would provide a very meaningful contribution to controlling the impact of malaria on children in those African communities that need it the most,” he said in a statement.
