PoliticsA New Sheriff Is In Town By Femi Adesina by lorbah001(op): 9:04am On Sep 05, 2015
Some call it the Buhari bounce. Others describe it as the Buhari effect. Yet some others say it is the Buhari aura. One thing is however crystal clear. Things have not been the same in the past 100 days in Nigeria, since Muhammadu Buhari assumed the presidency. A new sheriff has truly come to town. Exactly 100 days ago, he climbed the podium at Eagle Square in Abuja and got inaugurated as president, 30 years after he had been toppled from power as military head of state. He promised to belong to nobody, and to belong to everybody. It is a pledge that still resonates loudly today, and will surely echo for a long time to come. On a day like this, you would expect a presidential spokesman to chronicle the achievements of his principal in office. He has turned stone to bread, slain the dragon, and climbed Mount Olympus in ten seconds. But that is not what I want to do. There are some intangible, almost imperceptible achievements, but which run very deep, and are quite fundamental. Those are the ones I’ll rather talk of, while we leave the tangibles till some other day. Oh, he’s escaping. There are no concrete achievements, some wailing wailers would cry. True? Not true. I could have decided to focus on the bloody nose being given to Boko Haram in the North-east, which would see the country rid of insurgency soon, the rallying of leaders of other neighboring countries to deploy a Joint Multinational Task Force, the openness displayed about government finances and the welfare package instituted for states that couldn’t pay salaries, the Treasury Single Account, which would promote transparency and accountability in governance, the disappeared fuel queues, fast-tracking of the cleanup of Ogoni land, reduction in the cost of governance, and many others. But I will not focus on all those. The day cometh! When a new sheriff comes into town, disorder gives way to order. Chaos flees. Impunity is swept away. Laxity gives way to diligence, and people change their old, unedifying ways. When you have a Wild, Wild West situation prevailing, the new sheriff comes, and stamps his authority. Old things then pass away, behold, everything becomes new. Nigeria had always needed attitudinal change. That was why the Buhari regime launched War Against Indiscipline in the 1980s. And the war was succeeding, till a spanner was thrown in the works through regime change. Buhari was called all sorts of names then: despot, tyrant, iron fist ruler etc But the discerning knew. They understood that it was a change we needed. And that change was postponed for 30 years. But what is bred in the bones never goes out through the flesh. Immediately Buhari returned on May 29, Nigerians knew that discipline was back. The bird of the homestead told the ones in the bush, and they all sat up. No unnecessary chirping. Stealing is now corruption, they whispered to themselves. God help you if you get caught. Now, consider the situation with electricity and with our refineries. Electricity has climbed to about 5,000 Megawatts. Some refineries, which had not produced a drop of fuel for years, have cracked into life. Even the perennial queues in our petrol stations have disappeared, vanished. Is it because Buhari threw billions of dollars at the problems? No. Those things simply responded to the presence of the new sheriff in town. Those who manned those schedules could afford to be laid back in the past. But not anymore! The music has changed, and the dance steps must follow suit. And would Buhari take credit for the newfound zeal and efficiency? Not the plain and honest man from Daura. The broadcaster Omotayo Omotoso had come to the presidential villa to interview him sometime in July. And she had asked what the magic wand he waved was, that refineries, long comatose, had sprang back to life. The President responded that it would be dishonest of him to have claimed he did anything. He had not touched refineries at all. But unknown to the President, he did something. He had swept into town with his reputation for efficiency, and for achieving results. And the refineries, fuel supply, electricity supply, responded to the new sheriff. May things continue to get better till the change becomes enduring and irreversible. Amen somebody! Another imperceptible but momentous achievement is the faith that Nigerians now have in their leader. Yes, the opposition numbers in millions, and naturally so. A political party had held power at the centre for 16 years, and its loyalists would not simply disappear, or get converted overnight. About 12 million Nigerians had voted for the presidential candidate of that party in the March 2015 general elections. Would they just cross over to the winning side? It often takes awhile. But despite all that, a great deal of Nigerians, a vast majority, believe in the new sheriff. And that is great achievement. A big deal. When the citizenry believe in their leader, and almost can swear by him, it is no mean feat. The NOI polls, in a survey in July, revealed that over 70% of Nigerians were happy with the Buhari administration. And I can bet that the percentage would rise, as the months and years roll by. Faith in leadership is something that does not come cheap. And this one! Even our foreign reserve knows that a new sheriff is in town, and has responded appropriately. In June, just one month into office, and with the plugging of some leakages and loopholes, foreign reserve surged from $29 billion to $31.89. Holy Moses! Just in one month. Well, that is what a new sheriff can do. He brings sanity, confidence and probity to the system. And you would agree that Nigeria needs such shot in the arm, if we consider recent past experiences, when our treasury was like a bag filled with holes. An evidence of the believability of the new sheriff, and the confidence reposed in him, is the disclosure that came this week from Ambassador Godknows Igali, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Power. He said since Buhari came to office, not a single sabotage of the power infrastructure has been recorded, and it is one of the reasons that electricity supply keeps improving. But did Buhari line up soldiers across the power infrastructure? Did he hire a combination of OPC, Egbesu, MASSOB, MEND and Arewa youths to keep vigil? No. Just believability. Those who are so angry with the country, and would go to any extent to sabotage development, have decided to give the sheriff a chance. They have heard of his reputation. A man that believes in fairness and justice. He would do right to all parts of the country. Can you imagine the respect our sheriff commands on the international scene, and how it redounds to the glory of the average Nigerian? American President, Barack Obama said Buhari came onto his job with reputation of integrity and a clearcut agenda. Ambassador Johnny Carson, also during the U.S trip in July, said the Nigerian President was a man of honour and integrity. Everywhere he goes, the Nigerian President is lauded and garlanded for his virtues. And the image of the country is burnished and repositioned in the process. Surely, greater days are ahead. Some people say the sheriff did not hit the ground running, as he is yet to constitute his cabinet in 100 days. And I usually ask such people: when you hit the ground, and you land in mud, how do you begin to run immediately? You can only sink deeper, if you attempt to run. The thing to do is to first clear the mud, till you get to terra firma, and then you can begin to run. President Buhari has spent time trying to clean the Augean stable he inherited. And he is succeeding. Sheriffs can either come in with guns blazing, shooting malefactors to kingdom come, or simply stamp their authority on the situation by sheer force of personality and presence. The Nigerian sheriff seems to have opted for the second option for now. But we should never forget that sheriffs are licensed to shoot. And those shots can be lethal for lawbreakers. In a matter of months, you can ask those who had bled our treasury to the point of death. They’ll have stories to tell. .Adesina is Special Adviser, Media and Publicity to President Muhammadu Buhari

BusinessCBN, Court Approve Heritage, Enterprise Banks Merger by lorbah001(op): 5:25pm On Aug 26, 2015
The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has granted final approval for the merger of Heritage Bank and Enterprise Bank. Furthermore, the Federal High Court has sanctioned the scheme of merger and ordered the merger of both institutions. “The Management of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has approved the grant of Final Merger Approval to Heritage Banking Company Limited and Enterprise Bank Limited and the licence of HERITAGE BANK LIMITED (the successor), the CBN said in a letter to Heritage Bank. Managing Director/Chief Executive, Heritage Bank, Mr. Ifie Sekibo, “We’re pleased with the final approval of the merger of the two institutions. The stage is now set for us to achieve the vision of a bigger and better Bank that offers world class banking services designed to help customers to create, preserve and transfer wealth”. Sekibo added that “With this acquisition, the new Heritage Bank is better positioned to offer unparalleled banking services which spread across over 200 branches, 177 ATMs, 57 Cash Centres and 2000 POS Terminals in 26 states. We shall harness the better of the two worlds combined in terms of our innovative products, bespoke technology and extended branch network manned by a team of tenacious people; as this automatically transforms our bank from a tier-2 player to a strong tier-1 player that is ONE! BIGGER! BETTER!,”. “As we integrate into a larger bank, we assure our esteemed customers that this strategic stride is ultimately to serve them better. We affirm our commitment to all stakeholders that we will continue to deliver on our promise of creating and preserving wealth across generations through highly personalised service.” Heritage Bank had, on October 15, 2014, made history with the successful completion of the acquisition of Enterprise Bank, after investing about N56 billion in the deal. A federal high court sitting in Lagos on July 27th 2015 ordered an Extra-ordinary General Meeting of all the parties to the deal. This was held on Wednesday, August 12th August, 2015, where the shareholders of the merging banks sealed the deal. As a brand built on a legacy of innovation, Heritage Bank recently achieved a milestone with the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 certification award in recognition of its commitment to effective and secured financial system. The bank has also set a record as the only bank in Nigeria to get this certification award in less than three years of operation. It has, by this certification, joined the league of big players already certified in the industry, including the CBN. “The legacy of innovation was reinforced when the bank received the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard, PCI DSS certification, in addition to the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 award. The PCI DSS is a proprietary information security standard for organizations that handle branded credit cards from the major card schemes including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and JCB. The certification was in recognition of the bank’s commitment to effective and secured financial system which has put the bank in the league of big players in the industry and confer internationally-recognised standard on its operations.

Anyanwu’s action came when Okoroma made
frantic efforts to respond to the petitioner, Mr.

under remitted the money he recovered from
some Nigerians as well as traded with the money.
Lamorde was however absent as Chairman of the

PoliticsLalong Meets Buhari Over Suspension Of Immigration Boss A by lorbah001(op): 8:59am On Aug 25, 2015
Governor Simon Lalong of Plateau on Monday
met President Muhammadu Buhari over the
recent suspension of the Comptroller General of
the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS), Mr David
Parradang.
Parradang was on Friday directed to immediately
proceed on suspension while the service’s deputy
comptroller general, Martin Abeshi, takes over.
Paradang, who was sighted in the Presidential
Villa in company of the governor, was on Friday
directed to immediately proceed on suspension.
The Deputy Comptroller General of Immigration,
Mr Martin Abeshi, was directed to take over the
mantle of leadership of the NIS on acting
capacity.
Lalong, who briefed State House correspondents
after a closed door meeting with Buhari, said that
although investigations into the issues that led to
the suspension of the Immigration boss had
commenced, it was necessary for him to show
concern.
“I came to see the President on some issues
affecting my state.
“These include the prevailing issue of the
suspension of the comptroller of general of
immigration who incidentally is from my state.
When you have issues like this in a political
period, you must find ways of looking for
reasons and possible solution.
“If anything affects any part of your body you
must show concern.
“Paradang’s case is still under investigation. A
man was suspended and he is from Plateau, it is
my concern because I am the governor of the
state.
“For every appointment, we must show concern
no matter how small. The President is handling
it.
“At the end of the day whatever is the outcome I
will agree with it, but I also need to get some
explanation as the governor of the state.
“I feel comfortable with the response I got and
that is why I am smiling. I told him what we are
doing on insecurity in our state.”
On insecurity in the state, the governor said that
he set up a 13-man peace committee to address
the problem of communal crises across the state.
He said that the measures put in place by the
state government to arrest social unrest in the
Plateau had started yielding results as trouble
makers were being apprehended by relevant
security agencies in the state.
“We still have cases of cattle rustling and farm
destruction going on in the southern part.
“But, in the last one week, we have taken very
good measures and security agencies are working
very well in terms of arrest,” he said.

PoliticsFG Names 13-man Panel To Probe Yar’adua, Jonathan by lorbah001(op): 8:28am On Aug 25, 2015
ABUJA — President Muhammadu Buhari, yesterday, set up a 13-member panel to probe two of his predecessors, late Umaru Musa Yar’Adua and Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, on procurement of arms and ammunition for the Armed Forces. The investigative committee’s mandate is to identify irregularities and make recommendations for streamlining the procurement process in the Armed Forces. The committee, which was constituted by the the National Security Adviser, Major-General Babagana Monguno (retd), on the directive of the President, is headed by AVM J.O.N. Ode (retd.) while Brig-Gen. Y. I. Shalangwa is secretary. Other members are Rear Admiral J. A. Aikhomu (retd.), Rear Admiral E. Ogbor (retd.), Brig-Gen. L. Adekagun (retd.), Brig-Gen. M. Aminu-Kano (retd.), Brig-Gen N. Rimtip (retd.), Commodore T. D. Ikoli, Air Commodore U. Mohammed (retd), Air Commodore I. Shafi’i, Col A. A. Ariyibi, GP Capt C.A. Oriaku (retd) and Mr. I. Magu (EFCC). A statement from presidential spokesman, Mr. Femi Adesina, said “the establishment of the investigative committee is in keeping with President Buhari’s determination to stamp out corruption and irregularities in Nigeria’s public service. “It comes against the background of the myriad of challenges that the Nigerian Armed Forces have faced in the course of ongoing counter- insurgency operations in the northeast, including the apparent deficit in military platforms with its attendant negative effects on troops’ morale. “The committee will specifically investigate allegations of non-adherence to correct equipment procurement procedures and the exclusion of relevant logistics branches from arms procurement under past administrations, which, very often resulted in the acquisition of sub-standard and unserviceable equipment.”
This is not a govt of probes, but of due process, law and order Meanwhile, the Presidency has declared that Buhari’s administration is not a government of probes but of due process, law and order. Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, who spoke with Vanguard, yesterday, also stated the administration of President Buhari will not shy away from probing the government of former President Jonathan in the face of alleged fraud and corruption. He spoke following an accusation of selective probe against Buhari by a prominent northern leader, Tanko Yakassai. The presidential aide said there are sensitive matters arising from briefings and official engagements, which the President cannot overlook and described as laughable the allegation that Buhari has excluded other former presidents like Chief Olusegun Obasanjo because he was close to them. He said: “Let me say that officially, nobody is under probe, even Dr. Jonathan. People should not make mistakes about the fact that what is going on are routine investigations. These are matters that the President has found on the table. “So, there is nothing like a probe. If Jonathan will be probed, you would have heard of, may be, an administrative panel of enquiry or judicial panel of enquiry. But it hasn’t come to that. These are matters of routine engagements of due process of law and order. “President Buhari in his campaign said his government was not going to probe into the past. We are not probing but as a responsible government, you cannot bring to the table matters such as we are dealing with and then, the President will wave them off. “The Office of the President may be powerful but it is controlled, regulated by due process and the constitution of the country. The President cannot wave away matters that are arising from either handing-over or the routine briefings. How can anybody say he was part of the Obasanjo military regime and that’s why he’s not probing them? Speaking further, the presidential spokesman queried why the allies of former President Jonathan would wait until now to champion the cause of probing past governments before Jonathan. It was Jonathan’s responsibility to probe Obasanjo, Yar’Adua He stated that it was Jonathan’s responsibility to probe the governments of Obasanjo and Yar’Adua. “Let me tell you, if Obasanjo and Yar’Adua and all of the past governments before Jonathan needed to have been probed, why did Jonathan shy away from his responsibility? Why didn’t he probe them while he was in office? Why didn’t Tanko Yakassai ask Jonathan to probe Yar’Adua, Babangida, Obasanjo? Why do they have to wait for Buhari to come and do what he should have done? “It is common sense. So, if he didn’t probe them, why should his people ask some other person to probe them? If they felt it was desirable to probe the past administration, as a party, why didn’t they do it themselves? Why do they have to wait for President Buhari? “This is not a government of probes. It is a government of due process and law and order. President Buhari is dealing with the matters he has found on the table and he has no power under the constitution to wave them. If somebody had stolen Nigeria’s one billion dollars of oil, President Buhari is not authorized to wave it off under the law. He should ask questions. There is no probe going on now. People who are creating the spectre of probes in the country just want to create unnecessary fear.” On allegation of running unilateral govt On the issue of running a unilateral government having not appointed ministers, Shehu said the allegation was unfounded. According to him, the government is running well and its ministries and agencies were competently manned by the permanent secretaries. Shehu, however, assured that President Buhari would form his cabinet soon. He said: “The constitution is very clear about the powers of the state. Legislative powers are there under the parliament. The President has not interfered with the powers of the parliament. Even when the clamour was there for him to save the parliament from the crisis of leadership, he stayed out of it. “The executive arm of government is the first arm which President Buhari has under him and he is not interfering in the other arms of government. However, all the ministries of the government are being competently run under the supervision of the permanent secretaries. “They consult the President and the President consults them. He consults the party and the party consults him. So, if anybody is not in the room when these matters are being discussed, don’t go out there telling people that there is no consultation going on. You cannot be an adviser to PDP president and also be an adviser to the APC government at the same time. “The President will appoint ministers. There is no question about that. The President will decide when he will appoint his ministers. If it is auspicious for him to appoint them in September, he will.”

of salaries owed public workers in Osun State,
Alhaji Lai Mohammed, the spokesman of the All
Progressives Congress, APC , during an
interactive session with the Editorial Board of
Vanguard gave reasons why the state has found
itself in dire straits asserting that the party
cannot in any way be ashamed of the governor ,
Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, or his record of
performance. Excerpts:
By Emmanuel Aziken, Political Editor
Osun State is probably the most cosmopolitan
state in the whole of Nigeria. We are very proud
of our governor, Rauf Aregbesola and we stand
by him because he is one of the most proactive
governors, he is one governor that has taken the
reason for governance very seriously.
What happened in Osun State is as follows: Up to
2013 December, the average that was distributed
between the three tiers of the federation was
about N800 billion a month but as of May last
year, N338 billion was what was distributed, so
what you have is that most states have suffered
more than 50 per cent decline in revenue
accruing to them from the federation account.
Osun State is not just the most cosmopolitan, it
has the highest number of cities in the whole of
country, Ilesha, Oshogbo, Ikirun, Ife and many
more. So, by the time this decline came,
Aregbesola had embarked on a lot of pro people
programmes that had to be sustained and
maintained such as the one meal a day
programme for school children, the O-YES
programme that employed so many people and
kept crime at the lowest level in the whole of the
country.
He had embarked on social welfare for the very
elderly, school expansion and because of the
introduction of the one meal a day programme,
school enrolment had exploded.
So, the fact that a state cannot pay salaries does
not mean the governor has been guilty of
embelzement or misappropriation of funds, after
all, there are some states that take derivation
from oil that are still owing.
I will be ashamed of the governor if for instance I
know for a fact that he took the money belonging
to the state, misappropriated it or spent it
unwisely or embezzeled. So far, nobody has
come out to accuse Aregbesola of
misappropriation of funds or if even being
insensitive to the plight of the people.
But if a man was taking about N3.6 billion a
month but the last time he took I think he got
about N400 million.

Abandoning of projects

When he came in, he also inherited a lot of debts
for which banks were also deducting, so, there is
no way that we in APC can be ashamed of him
because we know what is happening.


What of Oyo State?


It is what is happening in Osun State that is
happening in Oyo State also. It is either you say I
am going to retrench and send people packing or
I am going to abandon my projects.
If you had like Oyo been taking more than N4.2
billion and now they are taking less than N2
billion, how are you going to make up for the
shortfall and these are states where internally
generated revenue are almost non existence.
Well, I am happy that the Federal Government
has come out now with a bailout package for all
the states.
