The lawmaker representing Yobe East Senatorial District, Senator Bukkar Abba Ibrahim, has warned the ruling All Progressives Congress not to assume that the North-East geopolitical zone will vote for President Muhammadu Buhari in 2019 like it did in 2015.

The states in the North-East are Yobe, Borno, Bauchi, Gombe, Adamawa and Taraba.

The senator said the issues for which people of the North-East voted for Buhari and APC had not been addressed. According to him, they are getting worse.

Ibrahim, who was governor of Yobe State for three terms within two dispensations and now serving his third term at the Senate, stated that rigging would not save the President and the party from the imminent defeat.

The senator issued the warning at the Internet launch of his book, ‘Poorlitics,’ and 70th birthday celebration held in Abuja on Saturday night.

Ibrahim, whose wife, Khadijat, is currently the Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, said the North-East should not be taken for granted “since it is not a must for the zone to support Buhari.”

He said, “As we move towards the elections, I have to give a dire warning to the APC that things are no longer the way they were in 2015 when we rode to power on a cloud of euphoria, believing that things will change for better.

“Simply put, things have not changed and many things are getting worse and the people are bitter.


“We should not assume that we can win, even with massive rigging. The economy has gone down because of our action and inaction, and we are blaming the past too much rather than solving the present problems.

“I am going to give a dire warning. Let the North-East not be taken for granted that we must support APC.

“Our interest in the North-East has always been progressive and I will personally be watching for required improvement in the APC before the elections.
“Improvement that can guarantee victory such as respecting the rule of law and releasing political prisoners as well as non-selective war against corruption, as against one sided witch-hunt.”

.*Supreme ⚖Court Frees �Saraki, �Dismisses Remnant Assets Declaration Charges*

The Supreme Court on Friday finally laid to rest the trial of a Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, on assets declaration and sundry charges instituted against him before the Code of Conduct Tribunal. A five-man panel of the apex court led by Justice Dattijo Muhammad unanimously upheld Saraki’s appeal, by dismissing the remnant three counts, declaring the evidence led by the prosecution as hearsay.

The Danladi Umar-led CCT had, in June last year, terminated the trial upon an application by Saraki, by dismissing the entire 18 counts preferred against the Senate President. The CCT’s decision was based on the grounds that the prosecution, with its four witnesses and 49 exhibits tendered, only led hearsay evidence which could not be the basis to link Saraki to the 18 counts preferred against him.

However, the Court of Appeal in Abuja ruling on December 12, 2017, restored three out of the dismissed 18 counts and ordered Saraki to return to the CCT to defend the three charges. While Saraki had appealed to the Supreme Court against the part of the Court of Appeal’s decision restoring three of the 18 counts, the Federal Government had cross-appealed against the part of the decision affirming the tribunal’s dismissal of the rest of the 15 counts. However, in its lead judgment on Friday, Justice Centus Nweze upheld Saraki’s appeal and dismissed the Federal Government’s appeal.

The federal government says it will shut down the land border between Nigeria and a neigbouring country in a few days time to avoid smuggling of foreign rice into the country.

Audu Ogbeh, minister of agriculture and rural development, made the disclosure in Abuja on Monday while speaking with youths in a leadership clinic under the auspices of Guardians of the Nation International (GOTNI).

Ogbeh did not mention the particular country and border but noted that the action had become necessary to encourage local production and sustain the economy of the country.

The minister said a neighbouring country was bent on destroying the economy of the country and discouraging local production of rice, hence the need to shut down the border.

“Our other problem is smuggling. As we speak, a neighbor of ours is importing more rice than China is importing,” he said.

“They do not eat parboiled rice, they eat white rice, they use their ports to try and damage our economy.

“I am telling you now because in a few days, you will hear the border has been shut, we are going to shut it to protect you, us and protect our economy.

“You will start seeing all sorts of negative things on the internet. Let me tell you why we need to shut the border, I grow rice, I was the first Nigerian to mill rice free of stones, if you plant rice in certain parcels of land, some poisonous materials gets into the rice.

“There are three kinds of water in their natural state; there is fresh water from the river, salt water from the sea, blackish water.

“If you go to the Delta in many countries, in South East Asia where they grow the rice, if you plant rice in the same place like four to six years continuously, the quantum of arsenic begins to increase and arsenic causes cancer and that is what they are dumping for us.

“Some people say they prefer Thai rice because they are very sophisticated, welcome to poison.”

He said the federal government in two years reduced rice importation by 95 percent and increased the number of rice farmers from five to 30 million.

The minister said states like Anambra, Ebonyi, Kebbi, Kano, Jigawa were doing well in rice production.

“We just have to handwork you to prosperity otherwise, this country will not grow. My wish for you is to have a better time that we had,” Ogbeh said.

Following the complaints that greeted the release of the report of the screening exercise embarled upon by the Kogi state government, the state governor, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, on Wednesday, gave reasons why government decided to screen the workers.

He said the exercise was necessary to make the civil service more “effective, efficient and productive”.

Answering questions on a phone-in programme tagged Bello at Your Service (BAYS), in Lokoja, the state capital, the governor said the exercise was not designed to witchunt or punish any worker.

According to him, the screening became compulsory in order to protect genuine workers that were being affected by the activities of those that were not supposed to be on the payroll of government.

He said, “We are committed to the screening and we will bring it to a logical conclusion. We are doing this in the interest of the genuine workers in the state so that they can earn their salary, entitlement and pensions as and when due.

“The system we met on ground has never assisted the state; we have an over bloated workforce on which billions of naira that should have been used for development is being spent.

Our people should just be patient with us and cooperate with the appeal committee that has liked into cases of people with genuine complaints because at the end of this screening we will want to have a clean payroll”.

On the time spent on the screening, which is spanning over 10 months, the governor said the appeal committee has only six weeks to work, adding that the screening would come to an end in six weeks.

He said the determination of government over the appeal made it to bring experience people from the Administrative Staff College of Nigeria (ASCON) to handle the appeal.

Bello added that part of the civil service reform of the state government was the commencement of the contributory pension scheme that would help the workers and government.

The obvious error made on presidency tweet about PMB's trip to UK . Is the handler so lazy to proofread?

JUST as the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has pledged to tighten control of the distribution of cough syrup with codeine in the country, the Chief Medical Director of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Lagos, Dr Richard Adebayo, has warned that if the epidemic of codeine and illicit drugs abuse persists, the country should prepare for an emerging new generation of mentally deranged people.
Detailing the consequences and ripple effects of drug abuse, Adebayo told Saturday Tribune in a phone interview that the country should prepare for a mentally unbalanced generation unless efforts are made to prevent the epidemic and rescue young people and the country from a future of mental disaster.
Describing the extent of brain and mind damage associated with prolonged intake of codeine and tramadol drugs, Adebayo, said the substances are capable of bending the mind and altering brain function.
“Codeine, like other abused drugs, are called psycho-active substances. What that means is that they are capable of bending the mind and altering the function of the brain.
“They achieve this by either stimulating or depressing the brain. Some of them stimulate the brain, like cocaine and cannabis. But if one continues to take drugs like codeine and tramadol, the brain becomes more and more depressed. The end result of using these drugs that alter the function of the brain is the abnormal function of the brain like firing the neurons, creating over-excitement in the brain.
“When a student takes these substances, his brain will not rest when it is supposed to rest. Such a student is not likely to be attentive in class. He loses concentration. This also would affect the memory and the intellectual prowess of the individual. Invariably, this individual would find it difficult to cope with real life. He begins to make avoidable mistakes, take wrong decisions, because his sense of judgement will be impaired.
“The person will gradually function less like a human being. The sense of time, of how time works, will be altered. He begins to do things that are not right. He would not be able to control his behaviour. For example, he would continue to touch women inappropriately, even those he does not have intimate relationship with.
“He begins to s3xually abuse women. He also becomes aggressive, easily provoked. His impulse goes haywire. People who take these drugs also lose their impulse control and are easily angry. They are quick to break bottle, quick to stab people and quick to kill and eventually become mad. This is why we must control this abuse or risk a generation of mentally imbalance people,” he said.

Supporting the psychiatrist’s theory, Dr Olubunmi Omojowolo, a neurologist at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), said the abuse of these substances escalate the propensity of the individual to commit a crime.
“The moment a person starts abusing codeine, they begin to experience brain dysfunction, leading to abnormal behaviour like psychosis and depression.
“People who are addicted to codeine also engage in other dangerous drugs and substances. In fact, the issue of drug abuse goes hand in hand with criminal activities like stealing, armed robbery and so on because they have to steal to afford the drugs,” he said.
Following a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) documentary on the abuse of codeine among Nigerian youths, the government has banned the importation and distribution of codeine, an active pharmaceutical ingredient for cough syrup manufacture in the country.
Also, NAFDAC said it had commenced the physical raiding of pharmaceutical companies and mop up of codeine products distribution in the country.
The Director General of NAFDAC, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye, expressed the readiness of the agency to rid markets of codeine.
“The companies that were caught, from our records, have a limited amount of codeine but from what the documentary showed, there is an indication that the production is more than the quantity that was approved. So, the question can be asked, was there smuggling involved?” the DG said in a newspaper report.
Meanwhile, the news of the ban of the importation of codeine has generated variegated reactions and extrapolations from among the populace.
Many described it as a pyrrhic victory, a disjointed solution to the current fight against the abuse of drugs and illicit substances in the country.
And there are those who have argued that the ban will further transform the dangerously addictive substance to a lucrative venture for drug barons, driving the trade far more underground.
Bodies like the Association of Community Pharmacists of Nigeria (ACPN), who have repudiated the ban, have alternatively called for the restructuring of drug redistribution system in the country to include a unified and trackable system of monitoring all the drugs imported and sold in the country.
The National Chairman of the ACPN, Dr Albert Kelong Alkali, who made the call on behalf of the association recently, asked for a multi-sectoral approach that involves agencies such as NAFDAC, NDLEA and other drug regulatory bodies to facilitate drug tracking from makers and importers to the users.
However, these measures have been described as inadequate by social media users.
According to a twitter user, DD @doysol_, the measures will amount to nothing if “we do not work more on educating and employing the youths.”
“Codeine is nothing up north. There is still Rohyphol, Xanax, etc.,” Ibrahim Y. G, another twitter user, tweeted.
“If they ban codeine, will dey ban Colorado?” The Boy (@Amaechi_. “What of pit latrine?” Mo Wa@Oroadunni (@OroAdun).
“Those drugs are too much…They can’t succeed in controlling the abuse. Not only in Nigeria but the world at large. They can only educate youths on the dangers,” Boom Xhakalaca tweeted.
The Federal Government had on Tuesday directed NAFDAC to stop further issuance of permits for the importation of codeine as active pharmaceutical ingredient for cough preparations with immediate effect in response to the gross abuse of Codeine usage in the country.
It is a major issue —Lagos govt
Speaking at the annual Ministerial Press Briefing to mark the third anniversary of the administration of the Lagos State governor, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, held at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, the Commissioner for Health, Dr Jide Idris, said that it was important for serious attention to be concentrated on mental health issue and affiliated matters.
Responding to a question on what the state government was doing in that regard, Idris said the drug control unit in the ministry was very active.
“We are also operating in conjunction with NAFDAC. The ban principally is a NAFDAC initiative but as a state government, we did not wait; we are more proactive and ever since this issue came into light, the ministry has been engaging and very soon, we will come out with a more comprehensive programme.
“This is because we would not look at codeine alone; we are going to look at it under drug abuse. Codeine is just one substance out of many that are being abused. It also goes to show you the extent of the mental health situation in our country and that is why like we said some time ago that we are putting more emphasis now on mental health.
“It is a serious issue; it is one area of the health sector that people generally do not even address and that is why as a State Government we are being proactive.
“In line with this, we have updated our own mental health law as against what is happening at the federal level; we have a mental health policy and we are currently now implementing our mental health programme to cover all tiers – primary, secondary and tertiary health care systems.
“This is a comprehensive thing and there is no doubt about the fact that there is a major mental health problem in our country and this Codeine is just a tip of the iceberg,” the commissioner said.

Olaleye Aluko, Abuja

The Academic Staff Union of Universities has said that there are three areas in the Memorandum of Action it signed with the Federal Government in September 2017 , which have not been fulfilled .
According to ASUU, the union cannot but continue to ask questions.

Its President , Prof . Biodun Ogunyemi, stated this in Abuja in an interview with our correspondent , noting that prominent among the three was the “NEEDS assessment funds” which , he said , totalled more than N 200 bn annually .
Asked whether the union would not embark on a strike action in 2018 , Ogunyemi said the possibility of a strike action would be determined by the Federal Government ’ s commitment to the agreements it reached with the union .
He said , “Well , that is if the government works with us to deliver on the minimum which we have on the table now ; we have an eight - point Memorandum of Action and , maybe , we have met three or thereabout . There are three or four pending . We are going back to them .
“Particular among them is the NEEDS assessment fund. We still have a negotiation that is going on , headed by Dr . Wale Babalakin SAN . It has been on for about 14 months . We are not making much headway . It appears that some people somewhere want to frustrate us out of that negotiation .

“I don ’ t see any ASUU President that will tell you that the lecturers will not ask government questions. There is no ASUU President that can promise you that . Between 2013 and 2017 , which major strike did ASUU embark on ? That was clear four years. The allegation of an annual ritual of strike against us does not arise. The principles behind ASUU strike are clearly two or three .

“The first principle is that somebody must fight for the Nigeria’ s university system. Otherwise, the fate that befell public primary and secondary schools will befall the public universities too. Somebody must defend the integrity and mandate of the Nigeria’ s university system. Two , it appears that all of us have gone to sleep in Nigeria. We sleep on our rights . ”

When the wife of Kazeem Akeem, a ticket officer at New Market, in the Ijebu Ode area of Ogun State, gives birth anytime from November 2018, the baby will be without a father.
Akeem, aka Oba Olofin, was allegedly tortured to death by men of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, Ogun State Police Command, after he was arrested with some gamblers.

But the state police command accused the 32-year-old of robbery, adding that he took ill in custody and died at a hospital.
Akeem was an executive member of a tricycle riders’ association operating around the market and was in charge of issuing tickets to the riders.

It was gathered that a man had staked his money and phone at a gambling joint in the market on March 31, 2018, in anticipation to win an expensive phone.

After he lost out to the bet operator at the joint close to where Akeem operated, he was said to have approached the deceased to assist in the return of his valuables – a request Akeem reportedly declined.

The loser was said to have left in anger and returned after some minutes with some SARS operatives, who picked up the gamblers and Akeem.

A friend of the deceased, who gave his name only as Damilare, told our correspondent that the operatives initially detained the suspects at a police station around the market.

He said an executive member of the tricycle riders’ association, who gave the tickets to Akeem, went to the station in the evening only to be told that they had been transferred to the SARS’ office in Abeokuta.

Damilare said, “Oba Olofin (Akeem) issued tickets to tricycle riders at New Market, Ijebu Ode. A man went to place a bet at a gambling joint in the market around 11am that day and he lost. He then brought SARS operatives to arrest five gamblers and Oba Olofin because he did not help him to beg for the recovery of the money and phone he lost in the bet.

Oba Olofin’s boss, Abbey, followed the SARS men to the police station around the market to secure his bail. A policeman told him that it was a minor case and that he would be released before the end of that day. When Abbey went back in the evening, he was told that they had been taken to Abeokuta.

 “The following Tuesday, the police charged the suspects with robbery in a court at Ijebu Ode, but Oba Olofin was not there. When the charges were read to them, they exclaimed that they were not robbers. The police told the court that the sixth person (Akeem) was dead. We were shocked.”

Damilare said after the arraignment, he and a lawyer on April 7, visited a prison in Ijebu Ode, where the defendants were remanded.

He said one of the accused, identified only as Rotimi, stated that Akeem died from torture in SARS custody and that they were allegedly framed.

He said, “According to Rotimi, Oba Olofin was kept in a separate cell. He said one evening, Oba Olofin cried as he was being tortured by policemen and that around 7pm, he was brought outside and he could not talk. About an hour later, he started foaming in the mouth. Rotimi said he called the policemen, but they did not answer and that it was in the early hours of the following day they came to carry his corpse. He said when he later asked about Oba Olofin from one of the policemen, he was told that he was receiving treatment in a hospital

“Rotimi said they were paraded with phones while their picture was taken and that some minutes afterwards, the policemen said the picture was not clear and brought them out again. He said the SARS officials put guns in front of them and took their photographs, adding that they were beaten up when they protested.”

A relative of the deceased, Sofiu Lawal, said the family had wanted to take the police up on the alleged killing, but rescinded the decision after they were told that they could not “win a case against government.”

“We believe that the SARS men deliberately killed him; but people advised us that we should collect his corpse and let go because we cannot get justice. His corpse had been released; he was buried two days ago,” he added.

The widow, 30-year-old Iyabo, said it was painful that she would give birth to a baby without a father, lamenting that Akeem’s death was a big blow to the family.

She said, “I have accepted my fate. My husband issued tickets; he was not a robber. I want justice. I am just two months’ pregnant.”

However, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said Akeem and others were arrested for robbery, adding that they allegedly confessed to the crime.

While denying that the victim was tortured to death, he said the deceased took ill in police custody and was taken to a hospital where he died.

He said, “The man (Akeem) was an armed robber. We have a complainant. He robbed somebody of his phones and other items. The items they stole and guns were recovered from him and his gang members. They made confessional statements.

“While they were in detention, he fell ill and he was taken to the hospital. He gave up the ghost in the hospital. He was given the best attention at the hospital and we have evidence to show that he was actually taken to the hospital for treatment. Whoever said he was tortured was lying. If somebody has made a confessional statement, what else would he be tortured for? The police of nowadays have gone far beyond torturing somebody to extract statements from them and the Commissioner of Police frowns on that. The suspects have been charged to court.

The Presidency on Thursday explained that President Muhammadu Buhari did not refer to all Nigerian youths as lazy in a statement he made on Wednesday during the question and answer section of the Commonwealth Business Forum in London.

Rather, it said Buhari only made reference to “a lot of” Nigerian youths and not all of them.

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, made the clarification in a statement made available to journalists.

Adesina attributed the outrage that trailed the President’s comment to those he described as “manipulators and twisters” of Buhari’s statements.

He said, “Typical of their stock in trade, manipulators and twisters of statements of Mr. President, who lie in wait to make mischief, interpreted the comment to mean that President Buhari had taken all Nigerian youths to the cleaners.

“But elementary English recognises a wide gulf between ‘a lot of’ and the word ‘all.’ How can ‘a lot of them,’ suddenly transmogrify to mean ‘all of them?’ Mischievous and unconscionable!

“There is no way President Buhari, father of the Nigerian nation in every sense of the word, who equally has biological children of his own in the youths age bracket, pass a vote of no confidence on all youths.

“It can only exist in the imagination of those who play what the President has described as ‘irresponsible politics’ with everything.”

The presidential spokesman said Buhari had always applauded and celebrated Nigerian youths who excel in different areas of endeavour, from sports, to academia, and other realms.

He said the President would continue to do so, because he values the youth, and knows that they are the fulcrum on which the future of the country rests.

“Indeed, every country has its share of idle population, and it is the bounden duty of government at all levels, to create an enabling environment for them to actualise their potential. That is what President Buhari is committed to doing.
