Siena: Out of interest, what does the brake caliper carrier bolt to, on a drum-braked rear axle?

NEW operators in the nation’s power sector have asked for increase in electricity tariff in the midst of worsening power situation in the country.
The operators have already jerked up service charge from N750 to N1,500 monthly.
This came as the Federal Government and organised labour are meeting today to review labour issues in the sector especially non-payment of terminal benefits for thousands of sacked workers, alleged victimisation of labour leaders in the massive sack of workers immediately after the take-over of the assets of Power Holding Company of Nigeria, PHCN, among others.
Vanguard gathered that the operators met with the National Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, last week to demand for increase in tariff.

It was gathered that the Director-General of the Commission, Mr. Sam Amadi, told the operators that they had no basis to ask for increase when Nigerians were still lamenting the negative effect of last increase and the worsening power station in the country.
He was said to have also blamed the new operators for the massive sack of workers of the defunct PHCN, which had created shortage of manpower and compounded the power situation.
According to Vanguard sources, the new operators were said to have dissociated themselves from the sack, blaming the Bureau for Public Enterprises, BPE, for same.
However, it was not confirmed if NERC approved the increase in service charge from N750 to N1,500 monthly less than one month after take-over of assets.

Also, the member of the state House of Assembly representing Ogu/Bolo constituency, Mr. Evans Bipi, has said Amaechi would be made to account for all that the state received from statutory allocations for the past six years.

Bipi, who was ‘elected’ speaker during the fracas that led to the takeover of the state assembly by the House of Representatives, also warned that any member of the assembly that defects to another party would lose his seat.

In a statement he issued yesterday, Bipi alleged that Amaechi awarded contracts to his political cronies in the APC as a way of funding the party to the overall detriment of the Rivers people.

“I want to assure all of us in the state that by the time we resume seating in the House, governor Amaechi will be summoned to give account of every kobo accruable to the state.

“Let me also say here that any lawmaker who chooses to defect to the APC will have his seat declared vacant and bye-elections would be conducted to fill them up,” he said.
Bipi, former aide to the First Lady, Mrs. Patience Jonathan, also warned the governor to desist from what he described as the governor’s knack for insulting and casting aspersions on the person of Jonathan and his wife.

A plot by top government agents to portray Governor Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State as working with the North to stall the re-election of President Good-luck Jonathan was uncovered in Kaduna yesterday.
Under the scheme, which is being financed by a serving minister in the present administration, N11 million has reportedly been paid to two Kaduna-based printers to produce different sizes of posters bearing the images of former Head of State, General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd.), and that of Amaechi as presidential candidate and running mate in the 2015 poll, respectively.
The contract, allegedly awarded to two printing firms (names withheld) is for the production of no fewer than 10,000 copies of the posters with the logo of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and display them at strategic points in the northern part of the country.

The copies, according to sources close to the printing companies, are to be delivered and displayed in selected Northern states before the end of the week.
“The posters will hit the streets of some states in the North at the weekend,” a source close to the printing firms confirmed yesterday.
The plot, however, hit the rocks when one of the staff of the printing company called the governor and asked if he was the one that authorised the printing job.
Amaechi, according to a source, reported the plot to the security agencies and gave the names of the printers to them for verification.
However, Amaechi also raised the alarm that he was being set up for blackmail by a minister from the South-South and appealed to Nigerians to be wary of the antics of the said man, who claims to be working for the re-election of President Goodluck Jonathan.
Amaechi’s reaction
Speaking through his Chief of Staff, Mr. Tony Okorocha, Amaechi described the antics of the minister and his cohorts as criminal and an attempt by him to gain undeserved attention from the Presidency and the people of Nigeria.
Okorocha said that Amaechi had not made public his next political ambition and warned those plotting to drag his name in the mud to desist from such devilish act or face the wrath of Rivers people, whose mandate he is holding in trust till 2015.
He said: “We want to call on Nigerians to plead with the minister to leave Amaechi alone and face the arduous task of his ministry.
“What the minister is trying to do is to deceive the undiscerning minds in Rivers State and Nigeria so as to gain undue attention and continue to stay on in his post when he is nothing more than a mischief-maker and an expert in frivolity.”

He disclosed that his job requires that he visits his constituency weekly, which puts his airfare allowance alone at N500, 000 monthly.

Tambuwal observed that the Nigeria dream is “life more abundantly” and it could only come to fusion through a responsible followership.
He added that Nigeria’s dream has not been achieved because the masses have failed to hold government accountable. He attributed the historical woes and official corruption to the inability of the followers to hold on to their stance against all odds.
